Chapter 13: The Rooster Crows in the Middle of the Night
On the day of apprenticeship, the master said to me some rules and taboos, after all, the times are different, there is no need to stick to the rules, he tried to simplify, he didn't ask me much, nothing more than to honor my parents and teachers, and I can't do evil and so on. After that, I began to officially pass on the arts, because I was "legally blind", and I had to start with the most basic five elements of Shengke, the heavenly and earthly branches, the Bagua elephants, and the sixty Huajia Nayin.
In addition, the master also taught me a kind of kung fu to nourish qi, called Yin and Yang Jue, he said that this is a unique exercise of the Yin and Yang family, which cannot be used to become an immortal or be used to fight cattle across the mountains, but it can improve my spirit and spiritual power, so that the power of the spell can be enhanced. The suppression of the demon fox in my body mainly relied on the Yin and Yang Technique, and according to his estimate, he could almost suppress it when he practiced to the third layer.
"All spells and spells need spiritual power to drive, no spiritual power is no spiritual effect, most of the tricks, steps, and spells that come when casting spells are to be able to concentrate their own spiritual power or borrow the power of ghosts and gods, if you have strong enough spiritual power, you don't need to recite any nine-character mantra, you can still deter demons when you say a 'fart' word." As long as you have strong enough spiritual power, don't use pen and paper cinnabar, and draw a few times in the air to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger. "In order to make me work hard to practice yin and yang, Master broke through the mystery in one word.
I nodded to show my understanding, spiritual power is like the internal strength in martial arts novels, people with profound internal skills can kill people by flying flowers and picking leaves, and they can break other people's tricks with a casual wave of their hands; People who don't have internal strength, no matter how good-looking the moves are, are all fists and embroidered legs, and it is useless to meet a real master.
The ideal is beautiful, the reality is cool, in fact, I spent a whole afternoon, and I couldn't remember the name and location of the relevant acupoints, and I meditated for three or four hours at night, and there was no sense of qi in the qi sea acupoints.
Not long after I fell asleep, I suddenly woke up because I heard a rooster crowing in the yard behind me. It's not the rooster crowing, it's not the hen laying eggs, it's the cries of a few chickens when they're disturbed.
In order to replenish my body, my mother bought seven domestic chickens, killed two and kept five in the yard behind my house. My yard is behind the kitchen, mainly for growing vegetables and a well, and this summer I built a bathroom and a shower at home, and kept the chickens in the shower at night.
My bedroom was more than ten meters from the bathroom, separated by a brick wall and an earthen wall, and I didn't know that the faint crow of the chicken would wake me up. I immediately got up, opened the door and rushed into the kitchen, and then opened the kitchen out, I had night vision, I didn't need lights, and in less than thirty seconds I was in the backyard.
The chickens screamed louder, and there was a man standing at the door of the bathroom, holding a chicken with one hand, and a small glimmer flashlight with the other hand shining inside, and there was another person catching chickens inside. There was a man squatting on the wall of the courtyard, probably out of the wind, and he couldn't see me in the dark, and when he heard me open the door, he hurriedly suppressed his voice and shouted: "Someone is coming!" ”
The man standing at the door: "Don't be afraid, catch one more, at least two will be enough." ”
I recognized this person, his name is Fan Qiang, he was in the same class as me in elementary school, he has been fighting hard since he was a child, fighting and dying, and finally he did not graduate from primary school. At that time, he was already mingling with a group of little scoundrels, fighting and making trouble, stealing chickens and dogs, and his family couldn't control him. Later, they joined the "Butterfly Gang" and became more arrogant, from sneaking to half-stealing and half-robbing, and sometimes the villagers dared to be angry even if they knew that they had stolen it. The Butterfly Gang has run rampant throughout the township, monopolizing passenger transport and vegetable markets in the township in recent years, and is said to have an official background......
My family had been stolen by them before, and my mother had calmed things down and advised me not to conflict with them, and I was a scholar, so I didn't dare to really confront them even though I was angry. But at this time, I was caught, I was furious, and roared: "Stop, what are you doing!" ”
Fan Qiang was taken aback, hurriedly turned around, and a small flashlight shone at me, and found that I was empty-handed and alone, so he immediately calmed down again, and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, grab two chickens and eat snacks." ”
I was even more angry and rushed over to grab the chicken from his hand: "Put it down, this is my chicken!" ”
Fan Qiang hid the chicken behind him, and bent his arm with his other hand to block me, showing that he had strengthened his muscles, and shouted: "Damn, what's the big deal about eating your two chickens, just catch your chicken to save face." ”
The person who caught the chicken inside also squeezed out, tall and burly, corrected Ah Tong, and said viciously: "What is it called, and then I will beat you to death!" ”
Fan Qiang said: "He is my classmate, give him a little face, grab another one and leave." ”
I couldn't bear it anymore and smashed a punch on Fan Qiang's nose, and he immediately fell backwards, threw the chicken and the small flashlight, and covered his nose with his hand.
Tong punched me, I dodged to the side, he kicked out again, I dodged again, grabbed his foot and lifted it up, he immediately fell backwards, and hit his head the concrete floor.
Fan Qiang's nose bleeded for a long time, his hands were covered with blood, and he snorted a few times and immediately attacked me, his fists and feet were windy, fierce and ruthless. I stepped back and back, just dodging each time, and suddenly countered and kicked him in the stomach. He took two or three steps back and bent down involuntarily, but immediately stood up straight again, roaring and lunging at me, changing to a fluttering jiashi. He's strong, and it's okay to take a few hits from me, but if I get caught in his arms, I'll be miserable.
I jumped to the side, he threw himself into the air, it was too dark he didn't see that he was already standing on the edge of the ditch, I punched him in the head, he subconsciously turned his head sideways and retreated, as a result, he fell into the deep ditch with one foot in the air, and couldn't get up for a while.
The lookout guy was a little skinny, but nimble, and jumped in and ran towards me. Tong also got up and staggered towards me, swearing and swearing.
The vegetable patch was not very flat, and there were many vegetables planted, and the two of them could not see clearly and stumble, so I flexibly jumped between the two, and unceremoniously beckoned to them with my fists and feet, and beat them so that they screamed and stopped jumping.
Their movements seemed a little slow in my eyes, they couldn't hit me, but I could easily hit them and be invincible. I felt an inexplicable excitement, the Demon Fox Heroic Spirit made me stronger, and I didn't need to be afraid of them anymore!
The lights in the house came on, and then the lights in the yard came on, and my mom was shouting, "Who? What do you do? There are thieves, catch thieves! ”
Ah Tong and the little man finally panicked and fled separately, but the wall of the courtyard was quite high, and it was not easy for them to turn out if no one answered, Ah Tong was torn off by me and pressed to the ground and punched a few times, I didn't give him face, and the next few punches were to greet him in the face.
"Don't fight, don't fight...... Don't fight, I don't dare! Ah Tong shrank in the corner, holding his head in his hands and began to plead, but the little man jumped over the wall.
My mom came out and found out that I was hitting someone else, and hurriedly told me not to do it. Fan Qiang struggled out of the ditch at this time, covered with mud and stinky water, his face was also full of mud and blood, his right hand was hanging and couldn't be lifted, I don't know if it was dislocated or fractured.
My mother pulled me and didn't let me beat them again, Ah Tong hurriedly helped Fan Qiang into my house, and then went out through the gate. Outside the gate, Fan Qiang trembled again, and said viciously: "You wait for me, you are dead, your family is dead!" ”
I was so angry that if my mom hadn't stopped me tightly, I would have beaten him like I did the other day, and he had to lie on the bed and hang glucose!
After my mother confirmed that the blood on my body belonged to someone else, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to complain that I should not fight with them, and would rather lose two chickens than offend these little rascals.
"Mom, don't be afraid of them, no one will dare to bully us in the future, and five of them won't be able to beat me." I comforted my mother.
"Ah Ming, they are all people who don't want to die, and there are shili, the public security bureau doesn't dare to arrest them, how can we fight them! They are not as good as a dog if they are killed, but you are all the mother, and you have a great future...... We can't fight them. ”
I silently admitted, they do not want to die, they have lacked tutors since they were children, they read little and do not understand reason, they do not believe in Marxism-Leninism, nor do they believe in heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, so they have no faith, they are ignorant and fearless, they think that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and they live to enjoy and oppress others. Fan Qiang estimated that he had never suffered such a big loss, and the cruel words just now were not only intimidation, but should soon retaliate.
I comforted my mother: "Don't worry, if they really dare to mess around, I'll call the police." ”
The mother kept shaking her head: "Don't you know, they have entered the public security bureau many times and become friends with the police, and their leaders don't even dare to offend the director of the public security bureau, otherwise they can dominate the road and the township market?" I'll go to his parents tomorrow and give them a ......."
I was very depressed, I beat the thief and have to make amends to the thief, how can there be such a reason in the world! But the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one here can really cure them.
My mother nagged for a long time before going to sleep, I couldn't sleep in bed, and in the second half of the night the dogs in the village came and went, barking wildly, and I repeatedly thought that the Butterfly Gang was gathering people to retaliate, but no one came to knock on my door, and I passed the night without incident.
I'm a little excited, it seems that changing the heroism of the demon fox is not necessarily a bad thing, at least the fighting ability has been greatly improved, and it is the first time in twenty years that he has beaten others so happily that they dare not come again.
Early the next morning, Fan Qiang's mother came to the door and said that I had beaten his son and broken his bones, and asked me to pay for the medical expenses. This shrew is quite fierce, her voice can resound throughout half the village, and she makes a lot of noise, never mentioning her son's stealing of chickens, only saying that I beat her son very badly, but like I am a ruthless murderer...... With such a mother, it is no wonder that there is also such a son.
I don't know the real name of this shrew, the people in the village call her Shengyu Po, the reason why there is a word for Po is not because she is very old, but because she claims to be able to communicate with the gods, and often has a fairy aunt, the Queen Mother and the like, but after my master, the most famous goddess. She has the protection of many immortals, a son who is rampant and domineering, her husband is the only Western doctor in the village, and there are quite a few shili relatives in the family, so it is difficult to have a big voice.
My mother kept making amends to her and saying good things, but I didn't give her face, arguing that it was her son who stole the chicken and fell into the ditch and broke his hand. In the end, most of the village was boiling, there were countless onlookers, the traces of Fan Qiang falling into the ditch are still there, the evidence is ironclad, and everyone knows what kind of person he is, so no one supports Sheng Yupo, and in the end she is poor and slips away.
But the matter did not end there, after she went home, she was possessed by the gods, saying that I borrowed the bronze bell of the crested hall, and the gods were angry, and they must have brought disaster to the whole village, and the barking of dogs in the whole village last night was a sign.
Some people believe such a ridiculous thing, but it spreads to everyone in half a day. The good old men in the village began to talk to each other, and they frequently appeared at my doorstep.
