Chapter 4: A Conversation with Fan Wuchang

"On our path, those who can rise to the top have climbed up from blood and bones. Today is crowded around, tomorrow may be a corpse in a corner of the street, life...... No one can say what will happen in the next second. ”

In the car, Fan Wuchang was talking to himself with a cigarette in his mouth, with a posture of seeing through the ups and downs of life, and his expression showed a little tiredness and self-deprecation.

The fat man shook his head, with an unbearable look on his face, and the fat man asked him, "Is it really necessary to be so ruthless?" ”

Fan Wuchang smiled lightly, still holding a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes were filled with inexplicable emotion, and his tone was a hint of tiredness.

"The underworld, do you know what the underworld is? Do you think it's really like what the movie says, just shouting a few words with a group of people and walking around the street majestically, is it the underworld? ”

The three of us froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer, after all, we are not from the underworld, and it is impossible to know what kind of life the underworld is

"I'll tell you a story," Fan Wuchang held the steering wheel in his hand, and told us such a story in a flat tone.

Once upon a time, there was a ruffian named Butcher's Knife on Dong Qian Street in Macau, he was a prefix for the head of the hall, and Dong Qian was the territory under his jurisdiction.

Although this butcher's knife is a one-word hall master, he is not fierce, on the contrary, there is a mercy that does not match his name. When he fights, he always ends up in harmony, he talks if he can, and he doesn't fight if he can.

Because there are not many bars and mahjong parlors in Dongqian, it is easy to ship, bulk goods (drugs), this favorable environment makes another hall owner with the word Poison Snake who has a relationship with drugs have the idea of snatching Dongqian over, so he let his subordinates go around in Dongqian to make trouble. At that time, the territory in front of the east, from the parking in the restaurant to the bar and restaurant, was all the butcher's knife people watching.

The practice of poisonous snakes, naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the butcher knife, and then the two began to negotiate, when the negotiation could not be reached, the two of them each took their men and horses to fight on the street in front of the east, and finally, the butcher knife was superior, not only repelled another word, but also captured the head of the hall alive, the poisonous snake.

However, the butcher's knife of victory made a fatal mistake at this time. In line with the mentality of valuing peace, he prepared a generous gift and sent the poisonous snake back.

In ancient times, this style could be regarded as the style of a benevolent king. However, in modern times, especially for the underworld, this practice is undoubtedly looking for death. Let go of a sinister and cunning foe, and you'll be ready to be bitten by this viper when you're defenseless.

On a dark and windy night, the butcher knife got drunk in the bar, but when he got home, he found that there were a large group of strangers in the house for some reason.

The one at the head is the poisonous snake that the butcher knife let go. After that battle, the poisonous snake held a grudge and couldn't fight the butcher's knife, so he took advantage of the butcher's knife to go out and secretly kidnapped the butcher's wife, just waiting for the butcher's knife to return, and sent the two couples to the western sky.

That night, the butcher's youngest son hid under the bed and witnessed his father and mother being killed. He saw his father roaring angrily at the poisonous snake: "Poisonous snake, if you still don't talk about morality in the rivers and lakes, it will not harm your wife and children." After that, he was stabbed in the heart with a sharp knife.

That night, he was in tears, covering his lips to prevent himself from crying, he wanted to avenge his father, and he must not let these people find out.

Before the viper man left, he set a fire in the house. I want to run to my father's body and call my father. As soon as his hand touched his father's face, he was burned by the fire.

In order to survive, an eight-year-old child opened the window and climbed down the water pipe from the window on the second floor, his hands and thighs were already covered in bruises during the climb.

The desperate child took refuge in his father's number one horse, and his father always asked the child to call this horse boy uncle. Although he is a horse boy, his father regards him as a brother

But what the child didn't expect was that the reason why the horse boy followed his father was because he fell in love with his father's power. Now that the boss has been killed, Ma Tsai has already turned to the master and taken refuge in his father's murderer, Viper. and helped the viper to recover the remnants of the large and small forces in the east. And the Viper's reward for this horse boy was to allow him to take charge of the first third of the territory in the east.

That night, the son of the butcher knife was chased by his father's former brother, and was slashed twenty-three times, but the child did not give up, he kept biting his tongue to bleed, irritating his drowsy head, he absconded all the way, and finally threw himself into a septic tank......

The child in the pile of and urine remembered what his father taught him before he died. Harmony is the most important thing in everything, let people score three points first, so that people will respect you for seven points.

But what about now? The naked reality subverts the child's previous cognition, and in the face of the cruel reality, the father's teaching seems so ridiculous and ignorant.

After the story was over, Fan Wuchang exhaled a puff of smoke, paused for a while, and then stared ahead, his eyes were deep and said: "This is the underworld, people on this road are either ruthless to others, or others are ruthless to you." Kindness and kindness are not worth a penny in the Tao, and what can be talked about is either only profit, or your ruthlessness. When you get up, you seem to be majestic on all sides, and you are surrounded by people in front of you. Secretly, I don't know how many people want you to die. When you are down, even people who call you brothers and sisters on weekdays may step on you hard at this time.

Fan Wuchang said very plainly, but in these bland words, he was expounding a cruel and indisputable truth. The life of the underworld, the nature of the underworld, they are just poor people walking on this path. You say they're heinous, and you're right, and you're right when you say they're pitiful. After all, everything they do is just to survive.

After the fat man and Yuan Qiu heard the story, they couldn't help but sigh and sigh for this poor child. The fat man couldn't help but ask Fan Wuchang: "What about this kid......"

The child's words hadn't been asked yet, but I was blocked back by a look, because I had a casual glance in the mahjong parlor and saw Fan Wuchang's arm, in addition to the knife wound, there was also a scar burned by me. In the story, who is the son of the butcher's knife, is about to come out.

I admit that at this moment, although I am disgusted with Fan Wuchang's attitude, I also have sympathy, and perhaps sympathy is better than disgust.

However, this does not mean that he is not wrong. At least while he was hurt, he also hurt many, countless others. Many people are like this many times, because of temporary grievances, because of the injuries they have received and extreme grievances.

But harm is not an excuse for you to hurt others, nor is it an excuse for you to do whatever you want.

At this time, I suddenly remembered a sentence: Once I entered the underworld, it was as deep as the sea, and I never looked back.

Perhaps, they just didn't find it.

……………………

The car moved forward slowly, Fan Wuchang stopped talking, and I had always wondered why his knife could hurt spirits.

I made a request to see his knife.

"You want to see my daughter-in-law...... Okay, I'll show you" Fan Wuchang agreed to me very cleanly

With a whoosh, a cold glow flashed, and the military blade appeared in Fan Wuchang's hand.

It was a slightly curved weapon, with wavy edges on both sides of the blade, and I could feel the chill emanating from the blade even when I was far away.

This knife gives me a very familiar feeling, the coldness on it is the same as when I use the Lingqi to draw talismans, but in addition to the cold, this knife gives me a sense of fear, a bright cold light crossed my eyes, and the blade of the knife let out a loud sound with Fan Wuchang's caresse...... This feeling is as if the child has seen his father, and he cries out so joyfully

I subconsciously reached over and wanted to touch the military edge.

Fan Wuchang didn't mean to stop me, just smiled slightly, and just held the handle of the knife lightly, letting my hand slowly get closer to the blade.

Ding...... This time, I actually heard the sound coming from the blade. But the voice made my heart tremble, and for some reason, I felt that the feeling coming from this knife was a protest, a refusal for me to touch him. So when my hand touched him, he protested, which made my hand hurt, and I subconsciously pulled back.

This turned out to be a killer weapon.........

I was taken aback and finally made out the nature of the military edge. He is actually a killing weapon, and it is also a killing weapon that is about to derive spiritual intelligence. A series of sensations told me that the blade was stained with the blood of countless souls, and the anger on it directly affected my mind.

As we all know, among the people who dare not invade the ghosts and gods, the scholars with righteous hearts in the Confucian sect, the soldiers who are blessed by the emperor's spirit in the army, the Taoist priests who practice, and the butchers who are full of evil spirits, these ghosts and gods may not necessarily dare to approach.

And there are several kinds of weapons, such as pig-killing knives......

There was also such an incident in the Qing Dynasty, which mentioned the pig-killing knife.

Legend has it that during the Jiajing period of the Qing Dynasty, there was an evil locust tree in a small mountain village in the north, and every fifteenth day of the first year, the locust tree would whine, like a baby's cry. And whenever the locust tree cries, it doesn't take long for people to see a child die tragically under the tree.

The local villagers all felt that this tree was an ominous thing, and after discussion, they decided to put the tree down.

However, when the villagers took machetes and cut down on the tree, something strange happened.

Everyone with a machete, without exception, fell foaming at the mouth. Their knives only cut off some of the bark and did no real damage to the locust tree at all.

Later, a butcher who did not believe in evil after rushing to the bazaar, took the pig-killing knife on his waist, took two mouthfuls of spit, and rushed up, and cut the locust tree vigorously.

At that time, people thought he was crazy, and concluded that he would be blamed by the spiritual locust tree, just like the others before him.

But the strange thing did not happen, and the butcher was not only unscathed, but actually cut down the locust tree.

Under the pursuit of the butcher's knife, something even more bizarre happened.

The severed part of the locust tree flowed bright red blood like a stream, and this blood was as red as the blood on a human body.

And at this time, the long-lost crying reappeared, as pitiful as a baby, with a hint of ethereal gloom, and a pleading that made people feel compassion.

It was only then that people knew that this was a mature locust tree, and he came out on the fifteenth day of the first month to make trouble and ruthlessly take the life of a child.

However, why would someone faint when they were slashed with a knife, but the butcher was unharmed? This is because the knife on the butcher's body has killed countless beasts, and the resentment of these beasts fills the pig-killing knife with evil energy, even the mature locust tree cannot resist the evil energy on the knife.

If a baby in someone's family is infested by ghosts and gods because of a bad year, asking the butcher who kills the pig to bring a knife to the house and point at the air and curse them can also scare away the headless wild spirits that infest the baby.

As for the pig-killing knife on the butcher's body, we call him a brake weapon, but the one in Fan Wuchang's hand is a full killing weapon. The difference between a brake and a killing weapon is that the brake may harvest the life of an animal. And the killer is only harvested by people.

The coldness emanating from the knife, the chill that seeped into people's hearts, made people fear all the time, looking at the blade, it was like seeing death.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a trace of disgust for Fan Wuchang. Because he has too many lives on his hands, whether he kills good people or bad people, he has already committed countless killings.

Although I hate it, I still know how to endure it, but I forgot that the fat man is very straightforward and very honest. After analyzing the nature of this killing weapon, he immediately frowned and said to Fan Wuchang: "You are a killing weapon, there are countless grievances of unjust souls on the knife, such a thing should not be left in the world, you hand him over to me to spend ...... time."

After speaking, he was about to snatch the knife in Fan Wuchang's hand.

Yuan Qiu and I were both taken aback, and pulled back the fat man's outstretched hand.

What are you kidding, this is a god of killing who eats with a knife, the knife is in the person, the knife is dead, you go to grab the knife in his hand, this is simply a long life of the birthday boy hanging himself

Fortunately, Fan Wuchang did not get angry, but did not curl the corners of his mouth, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then put the knife away.

The car started this time, and this time Fan Wuchang didn't talk with us too much, but took a cigarette in his mouth and drove the Audi car intently.

Through the rear mirror at the front, you can see four small cars of different colors following steadily behind the Audi. When the other cars are about to approach the Audi, the four cars will separate and drive into the inside to steadily stop the car that is about to cross the line.

From this point of view, it can only be seen that the two cars are closely following behind, and nothing can be seen. However, Yuan Qiu and I both knew that this car was protecting the Audi we were sitting in and preventing other cars from doing bad things against us.

The car moved forward slowly, drove to a high-end community and stopped, and then Fan Wuchang asked the three of us to get out of the car.

"Are we going to see Brother Zheng now?" Yuan Qiu asked Fan Wuchang suspiciously

Fan Wuchang shook his head: "No, you have to pass the test before I can take you to see Brother Zheng!" ”

Test, what's the matter, I was lying in a groove in my heart at the time, hasn't it been tested? Why did you come up with this thing again?

Fan Wuchang shook his head and said, "You have only passed my test, but you have not passed yet." ”

The fat man was puzzled and asked him, "What kind of test did Brother Zheng set for us?" ”

Fan Wuchang said: "Follow me and you will know." After saying that, he walked into the community.

The houses here are generally quite Western-style, and some of the buildings are built in the classical style of Western style, although such buildings are not uncommon in the mainland, but they can be inhabited by rich people who are either rich or expensive.

Sometimes when you are under a macroscopic building, you will feel like a small ant. If I had to describe how I feel right now, it's like ants looking up at giants, or you can use the phrase dirt buns entering the city to describe my mood at the moment.

The fat man Yuanqiu and I are very curious, what Fan Wuchang said, where is Chen Zheng's test? What does it have to do with this building? And he walked halfway and asked us specifically: "Have you brought all the guys for dinner?" ”

This aroused my curiosity even more, did he bring us here to catch ghosts? It still depends on Feng Shui.

Ten minutes later, Fan Wu's usual actions answered the question in my mind.

He led us to the end of the community, where there was a lot of vacant land, most of which was planted with plants, and there were only two three-story buildings on the whole plot. Moreover, the two three-storey buildings are facing each other, and there is only a distance of more than 50 meters between them. The size of the house, the height of the floors are exactly the same.

The corners of Fan Wuchang's mouth drew two arcs again, and the index finger of his right hand pointed to the two buildings, not speaking, but meaningful.

Looking at those two buildings and Fan Wuchang's meaningful finger, three words suddenly came to my mind: "Feng Shui Dou"
