Chapter 2 Entering the rivers and lakes for the first time
In late autumn, at dusk, the ancient city, the most prosperous downwind street in the city, in the middle is bustling, coming and going crowds, flanked by a variety of shops.
Suddenly, a cry of "Murder!" The loud shout made the originally slightly calm street chaotic, like a calm lake, a stone was thrown, stirred up a splash, rippled, and then layered, spreading to all sides!
Chaotic people pushed each other, some didn't want to be splashed with blood, just wanted to get away quickly; If you don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, you have to come forward to check the onlookers; Zhang San was pushed and knocked down; Li Si's shoes were stepped on, and when he turned around, he found that the shoes were gone; The fat aunt was taken advantage of, crying: "Indecent"; The shops on both sides also hurriedly shouted to the people to take care of their own things, in case someone took advantage of the chaos and "took the sheep", and the street was a mess!
There were five people and one horse in the street, and one of them was a richly dressed boy lying on the ground, with a pool of blood beside him, and one foot was still pinned in the horse's pedal.
Four teenagers in different costumes standing in a circle looked overwhelmed and stared at the dead and everything around them!
A few minutes later, the matter was actually very simple, that is, there was a seventeen or eight-year-old child, holding a wooden stick in his hand, waving it on the side of the street, and there were words in his mouth, saying something: "The dog thief escapes, eat grandpa's sword!" ”
Then the wooden stick came out of his hand and hit a horse in the eye, the horse was suddenly frightened, and suddenly the person stood up, fortunately the rich young master who rode on it reacted quickly, hugged the horse's neck in time, and did not fall down, but in a hurry, the brocade robe on his body hooked the horse's pedal, and tore open a big hole, so that he was shocked and angry, when had he suffered such a big loss, and he was going to whip the child when he raised the horsewhip.
This kind of thing is so common that the people around him are indifferent, thinking that such a leather child should be taught a lesson. Regardless of the venue, take a wooden stick and smash it, and now it's a trouble! Being beaten a few times, it is also a good thing to have a good memory.
Even the child's mother saw it, although she felt sorry for the child, she didn't dare to speak, for fear that if she talked, the rich young master would let her lose money, it was a brocade robe, and the money for a brocade robe was enough for their family to spend a few years!
But in this world, there is never a shortage of people who draw their swords to help each other when they see injustice, no, someone has made a move, and it is not a person.
A white-robed young man stepped forward and grabbed the wrist of the rich man, and the other two were a step late, and the white-robed boy took the lead.
The rich man sat on the horse, his right wrist was still grabbed, his whole body twisted to the left, and he was hit by the other two people continuously, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he said vaguely "You... You...", the frightened white-robed young man hurriedly let go, and then the rich man fell off his horse and crawled on the ground without moving.
There was a loud voice, but extremely cowardly, who witnessed all this, turned around in fright and fled, shouting as he fled: "Kill, kill!" "The vocal cords are all split!
Then, like frightened horses, the crowd began to panic and push each other. Compared to the crowd, the murderous trio is unusually calm, just like this, you look at me, I look at you, as if everything is silent.
Actually, I don't blame them.,After all, they're not very old.,It's supposed to protect the child.,By the way, teach someone.,Why did the style of painting mutate! Why did you kill someone? After all, none of them drew their swords!
The child's mother saw the four of them in a daze, and there was chaos around them, so she quickly pulled away her unlucky child, and the mother and son disappeared as soon as they slipped away!
Who is the young man in the white robe?
His surname is He, he is famous, and when he talks about this, he is also a bitter child, and he has never seen his parents since he was a child.
Since he was three or four years old, he has been dependent on the master and the Taoist for his life.
According to the chief of the Forgotten Worries, he picked it up on the road, and after searching for a long time nearby, he did not find the child's parents.
I couldn't find anyone willing to adopt him, so in desperation, I took it back to the mountains and adopted it as an apprentice.
At that time, it was estimated that he was more than a year old, forgetting his common family name He, and liking a poem in the chivalrous line, "After the incident, I will go to the clothes and hide my name deeply." So he named his apprentice "What's the matter?"
The master and apprentice lived in seclusion in the mountains, living in caves, opening some wasteland around them, planting some grain and vegetables, and hunting at ordinary times, which can be seen in the hardships of life.
It's just that as a practitioner, he forgets his worries and grows long, his body is strong, and he is happy to live in poverty.
As for what's the matter, it's that you're young and ignorant, and you don't even know what "hardship" is.
Besides, forgetting worries and being long is a skill, knowing astronomy, geography, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that is proficient in everything, and the art of striking is even better.
Regarding martial arts, the Taoist Master didn't want to teach him, he just wanted to teach him some breathing exercises, strengthen his body, and not be bullied!
How can the master and apprentice get along day and night, and what's the matter, they are very smart, draw inferences from one another, and unknowingly, learn a lot of martial arts!
Later, the Taoist also thought about it, maybe this is the will of heaven, how can it be reversed by manpower.
Moreover, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, even if he retreats from it, like himself, although he rarely encounters opponents in his life, but in the end, he is not going to be lonely for life!
If you want to practice martial arts, you have to endure loneliness, and loneliness will accompany you for a lifetime, the higher your kung fu, the more lonely it is.
But then again, what's the point of life if it's too bland!
The most feared thing is that people who practice martial arts are not good at learning and are not as good as others, isn't that more dangerous?
As a result, forgetting worries and Taoist elders are abnormal, and they teach each other, and the martial arts are also growing day by day
When he is about ten years old and has a certain ability to protect himself, he will go out for five or six days after a while, and when he comes back, in addition to daily necessities, he will also bring some pen, ink, paper and books to his apprentices, and occasionally some piano and chess scores.
That's it, what's the matter with three summers in summer and three nines in winter, and thirteen years will pass in a blink of an eye.
At noon that day, after taking a nap, Master called him to him and said, "It's over, time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, you're almost nineteen." As a teacher, you have also learned a lot, and there is nothing to teach. It's time for you to go outside to see the world and break through the rivers and lakes, you can't always follow as a teacher and stay in this mountain for a lifetime! ”
What's the matter, naturally I am reluctant to leave Master, and I don't want to go into any rivers and lakes?
What are rivers and lakes? I don't know what's going on, and I'm certainly not interested in knowing!
After all, he has been dependent on his master since he was a child, and suddenly his master wants him to go out of the mountain, how can he agree!
I have done seven or eight years of ideological work in a row, but I don't want to go out of the mountain, and I forget my worries and my good temper has been polished.
So he threatened something and said, "If you don't go down the mountain, then you will go down the mountain as a teacher." If you go down the mountain for three or five years, you can come back to see the teacher, but if you go down the mountain for the teacher, then you will never find the teacher! ”
In this way, what is the matter, I see that the master has made up his mind and will not change it again. That's why I reluctantly agreed.
The next morning, I packed my clothes, said goodbye to my master, and walked for a whole day before leaving the mountain. Reluctantly, he finally chose to sleep at the foot of the mountain for one night.
As soon as it was dawn, he was already at the river, where he waited for passing ships in a narrow part of the river.
Master told him that it was a long way to go by land, and that he would not be able to go to the town for seven or eight days, so he could only take a boat and take the waterway.
Fortunately, after a while, a boat appeared on the river, calling for the boatman to come over, and before the boat could land, he jumped five meters from the shore and landed lightly on the boat.
What's the matter, Xiaoxiu showed off for a while, causing a burst of exclamations on the boat, and they praised him for his skills, amazing!
In these days, you have to be cautious when you go out, the world is not peaceful!
There's a good guy on the boat, what's the matter, and they can take care of each other.
What's the matter, when he heard the compliment, he arched his hand and did not speak. It's not that he's arrogant and doesn't want to speak, it's that he doesn't know what to say?
This is a ship carrying goods, and he took a few people with him along the way, and when he got on the boat, there were already five or six people on the boat, and he didn't look closely, so he found a corner and sat down.
When the other passengers saw what was going on, they didn't like to talk, and no one talked to him anymore.
The boat is down the river, the speed is very fast, from time to time people shout on the shore to get on the boat, some are in the middle of nowhere, the number of people is large, the boatman will pretend not to hear. There are also people who go to the underground ship, and they don't care about what happens.
What's the matter, still thinking about Master, thinking about what Master said, what rivers and lakes are sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable? What can't you mess with?
He didn't understand, what he said was so dangerous, why did he have to let himself break in!
What are rivers and lakes? I asked Master what was going on, but I couldn't tell the Taoist Chief.
Jianghu, I'm coming!
