There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, a few officials came early in the morning, Yan Ning was asleep, and those officials walked in and kicked Yan Ning a few times.

Yan Ning woke up in pain and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" ”

The officials sneered: "Fuck, who called you bad luck for this kid, the county master asked my brothers to take care of you early this morning, you kid is really lucky." ”

Yan Ning listened to their fierce words, Rao is hard temperament, and he was also frightened.

When the officials saw that he was timid, they said, "You boy, you signed and drew the pledge earlier, and you will not suffer from some flesh and skin." ”

How do you know that when Yan Ning heard this, she suddenly retorted: "I haven't committed any crimes, how can I sign and draw a detention, it's all that corrupt official, reversing black and white, and there is no distinction between right and wrong, so I must have received some benefits."

The officials knew that he would not give in easily, and drew a whip from behind him, frightened: "You kid is so hard-mouthed, Lao Tzu will let you know what is right and wrong today." ”

One person lifted the whip and beat him, and after beating for a while, Yan Ning screamed and cried bitterly, seeing that Yan Ning still refused to admit his guilt, the officials almost used him as a punching bag and beat him hard. Yan Ning was beaten and spat all over her mouth and nose, but when she thought of her innocence, she still refused to recruit.

When the officials were beating, they saw a group of officials escorting a person in, who was unkempt, his hands and feet were chained with iron shackles, and there was a foul smell on his body, which made everyone cover their noses again and again.

The officials put down the whips in their hands and said in disgust: "Where did this guy come from, why does his body stink so much." “

The group of officials who escorted in said: "This stinky guy is not what we found, there is an official from other places in the house today, and the county lord received him at that time, and I heard the county lord talk to him, I seem to be from Qingzhou." “

The officials' eyes widened, and they said incredulously: "It's no wonder that it's so stinky from Qingzhou." “

The officials sent these words to the prisoner's ears, and the man roared violently and said: "Lao Tzu is from Qingzhou, I dislike Lao Tzu smelly, hum, you little cubs all look like rabbits, I can't imagine that Xuzhou is a bad breed like you." “

Although the officials are not very burly, they can be regarded as strong, and they are said to be rabbit masters by this person, and everyone sees them as a great shame, and their hearts are on fire, and everyone picks up the whip in their hands and beats it. But the man didn't avoid it, and the whip fell on him, and he just laughed.

The officials were whipped for a long time, exhausted their strength, and when they saw that the man was unharmed, they said stupidly: "Damn, I hit the evil today, and the brothers will leave you with a small life first, and then come to clean you up when the brothers are full of food and drink." ”

The man couldn't stop laughing, and he was whipped by everyone for a long time, and he was surprised to see that there was not a single wound on his body.

The officials were tired from the fight, and they didn't have the strength to clean up Yan Ning again, so they locked the person in the room next to Yan Ning and left with a smoke.

In the evening, an official cha took a confession letter and came to Yan Ning's room with a whip, the official cha kicked Yan Ning who was sleeping soundly, Yan Ning was whipped during the day, he had not eaten since yesterday, he was hungry and cold, and his body was in great pain.

The official was full of alcohol, took a sip of water, and said: "Don't call, it's really bad luck, Lao Tzu lost in gambling and drinking in the middle of the night, and he still wants to come to you kid." ”

The official threw out the confession again, and said coldly: "Hurry up, don't delay Lao Tzu's time, Lao Tzu will drink when he goes back." ”

Yan Ning was nervous, looking at the official appearance, if he didn't admit his guilt, he would definitely not be able to escape a beating, but if he wanted to admit his guilt, it would be more uncomfortable than beating himself to death, and he scolded at the moment: "You corrupt thieves, I, Yan Ning, have never committed a crime, but you shield the villains and frame me, and I will not admit my guilt if I die." ”

The official snorted, pulled Yan Ning up with his left hand, followed by a heavy slap, and sneered: "You didn't commit a crime? Lao Tzu, I said today that if you make a mistake, you have to make a mistake. ”

Yan Ning covered her face in pain, and said unwillingly: "You group of people, your heart is so black, you are a local parent official in vain, I Yan Ning has been studying for more than ten years, although I have no merit, but I can't tolerate you being bullied like this." ”

The official smiled and said, "More than ten years of studying? What is the use of reading? Still want to gain fame? Haha, I look at you like this, you are a poor and sour talent, and you still want to gain fame, what a big joke. ”

Yan Ning leaned on the wall with one hand, shook his head slowly, and suddenly said, "You are wrong, I don't study for fame." ”

The official sent a mouthful of spit at his feet, and laughed: "Not for fame? What are you for? Is it not to cure your elm head, or to find a beautiful girl from that book? ”

Yan Ning raised his head and said slowly: "Wrong, all wrong, I studied for one thing." ”

Seeing that his face was red and swollen, but his face was solemn, the official was not only surprised, but asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Ning saw that the cells around him were gloomy and dirty, he was trapped here, and he didn't know when he could get out, he was sad and angry for a while, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "There is no cone of soil in life, there are often hearts in the four seas, I Yan Ning can only read the eight words I want, the world is for the public, and hundreds of millions of dollars are my own responsibility." Although his body was full of scars, his heart was as quiet as a mirror, and the arrogance of the scholar refused to break at all.

The prisoner next door was resting, and when he heard Yan Ning's loud and passionate words, he couldn't help but look sideways, with a little admiration in his eyes.

When the official heard Yan Ning's words, he suddenly laughed and said, "You poor scholar, you can't smell sour when you speak. ”

Yan Ning shook his head and sighed: "Kanjing doesn't know the vastness of the rivers and seas, and the swallows know the ambition of the birds." ”

The official picked up the whip and beat it, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, dare to turn around and scold Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't break your skin." The whip fell, making Yan Ning dizzy, and the official sent him until he was soft, took out the confession again, and shouted: "Lao Tzu asks you again, whether you are painting or not." ”

Yan Ning looked up at the iron window, his eyes were blank, and he said: "I am not guilty, I am not guilty." ”

The official snorted, threw some punches and kicks, and saw that Yan Ning's oil and salt did not enter, leaving a cruel sentence: "If you don't confess your guilt tomorrow, Lao Tzu will have to beat you to death, there is no shortage of you in this prison for a year." ”

Yan Ning collapsed to the ground, panting for breath, he knew that these people were cruel, if he didn't admit his guilt, he would have to die in this prison, when he thought of this, his heart was desperate, and he looked at the iron window and iron door, if he didn't admit his guilt, he would not be able to get out, and his heart was full of grief at the moment, and he couldn't help crying loudly.

While he was crying, he suddenly heard a man say, "How can a great husband cry because of such a little thing, who was born between heaven and earth?" ”

Yan Ning looked left and right, and saw that the foul-smelling prisoner who was imprisoned in the day was staring at him with a pair of eyes, and the man said again: "You are crying and crying, like a mother, so you are not ashamed." ”

Yan Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "I am different from you, I was wronged and was locked up here. ”

The man's eyebrows widened, and he shouted violently: "I have been wronged, hmph, who in this world has not been wronged." ”

Yan Ning suddenly thought of the grandson who was an entertainer a few days ago, and the grandson and grandson were also wronged, and they fainted in the county government that day, I don't know how the two of them were, when I thought of this, my heart was even more sad, and said: "Yes, I am not the only one who has been wronged in this world, how can I cry and cry, not like a man." ”

When the man heard him say this, he nodded slightly and said, "This is like words, I see that you are not very old, you look like a scholar, can you get famous?" ”

Yan Ning shook his head and said, "Although I have read sage books for more than ten years, I have never been in high school, and I have not yet made a name for myself. ”

The foul-smelling prisoner was about to speak, when a jailer rushed in and shouted, "What are you two yelling about, arguing to death, talk again, break your tongues." ”

The foul-smelling prisoner was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Break my tongue, hmph, I see that you are talking like a fart and smelly, if you want to break Lao Tzu's tongue, I am afraid that you don't have the ability, and only dare to be a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

The jailer was furious, picked up a stick from outside the door and came, Yan Ning watched the jailer coming, and took two steps back in fear, but he was worried about the safety of the man, and looked at the door sideways with concern.

The jailer came to the room where the man was being held, picked up the stick and beat it, a stick fell, only to hear a snap, hitting the man's shoulder, Yan Ning was so frightened that he closed his eyes, this stick went down, I was afraid that the shoulder bone would be broken.

Yan Ning didn't dare to look, and listened to the sound for a while, and suddenly there was a sound of the man's laughter, and then there were a few screams of the jailer, and when he opened his eyes, the jailer had collapsed to the ground at this time, motionless, and the man was standing at the door of the cell at this time, laughing to himself.

Yan Ning was shocked and said, "You~ You're okay." ”

The man laughed heartily a few times and said, "It's okay, this little bit of three-legged cat kung fu still wants to hurt me, who is Wei Chenfeng when I am it." “

Yan Ning saw that his hands and feet were trapped by the iron shackles, and he didn't know how he could make his efforts, so he said strangely: "You were trapped with both hands and feet, how did you hurt him." “

That Wei Chenfeng heard that he cared about himself before, and his tone softened a little, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are a person who reads and doesn't understand martial arts, this person is naturally not my opponent." ”

Yan Ning had never practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he naturally didn't know this, he saw the jailer lying on the ground, and said worriedly: "You~ You injured the jailer, they will definitely make trouble for you, what if the time comes." “

Wei Chenfeng shook his head and smiled: "Even if you come, I, Wei Chenfeng, am still afraid of them?" This sentence was extremely heroic, Yan Ning was amazed, and secretly said in his heart: "If you practice martial arts like him, you will definitely not be afraid of these corrupt officials." ”

Yan Ning saw that although he was dressed in tatters, his eyes were very bright, so he was naturally not afraid of these people, but he didn't draw a charge for a day, and those officials refused to let him go for a day, and he still couldn't escape the pain of flesh and skin, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Chenfeng saw him suddenly sigh and asked, "Why did the little brother suddenly sigh?" ”

Yan Ning had no choice but to express his worries, Wei Chenfeng listened to it, and laughed: "What is the matter with my Dao, it's just some miscellaneous fish errands, little brother don't have to worry." ”

Yan Ning sighed and said: "Brother Wei has a unique skill, so he is naturally not afraid of them, but I am a scholar, and I have no power to tie the chicken, and I am already fortunate that I was not beaten to death by them." ”

Wei Chenfeng stared at him with a pair of eyes, and then paced back and forth in the room for a long time, and suddenly said: "Little brother, although you and I are in a relationship, but you and I are in love, I Wei Chenfeng can't watch you being framed by these wicked people." ”

Yan Ning saw that his hands and feet were bound by iron shackles, and he might not be able to protect himself, but when he said these comforting words, he felt uncomfortable for a while, and said: "Alas, Brother Wei, you don't have to comfort me, you are also in prison now, how can you help me, those dog officials ignore right and wrong, what you say, they may not be able to listen to it." ”

Wei Chenfeng saw that he was in prison, and he thought about himself, and said in his heart that it was rare for this scholar to be so ambitious, so he smiled and said, "If you can't listen to it, then let them listen." ”

Yan Ning was startled when she heard his words, and said in a panic: "Brother Wei, this can't be helped, beating a court official is a serious crime. ”

Wei Chenfeng shook his head and smiled, and said, "It's really strange that you have a high heart but a small timidity. ”

Yan Ning sighed and said: "I've only been studying for a few years, how can I have any courage, but it's true that I'm timid." ”

Wei Chenfeng smiled: "I heard you say today, you are studying to seek justice?" ”

Yan Ning has been studying since he was a child, and it has been 17 years, he has been ambitious since he was a child, reading for the world's billions of people, he changed his previous timid state at this moment, and said loudly: "I am not seeking justice for myself, my generation of people who read, should be responsible for the people of the world, I Yan Ning studying, for eight words, the world is for the public, hundreds of millions of dollars." ”

When Wei Chenfeng heard this, he was amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but praise: "Okay, a good world for the public, hundreds of millions of trillions of responsibilities, I Wei Chenfeng has seen a lot of scholars, there are not many people in the world who can have such insight as Little Brother Yan, even those ministers in the court, they can't compare to you." ”

Yan Ning listened to his praise, although he was happy in his heart, but when he heard him compare himself with the minister, he was also surprised, and said: "Brother Wei really exalted me, I, Yan Ning, am just a poor scholar, how can I be compared with the minister in the court." ”

Wei Chenfeng shook his head and said: "Little brother doesn't know, in my opinion, the Manchu Dynasty Ministers, except for one or two people, are all pigs and dogs with vain names, those people are not the people, just for the black gauze hat on their heads, many ridiculous things are all done by this group of people." ”

Yan Ning thought of this Fengcheng County master, isn't he just a dog official who bends the law for personal gain, as soon as he thought of this, he spat on the ground and said, "What the eldest brother said is that what these dog officials do is not like what people do. ”

Wei Chenfeng said again: "Little brother, you and I have a good conversation, I don't know what to call the little brother?" ”

Yan Ning replied: "A person in Fengcheng, Xuzhou, surnamed Yan, has a single name and a Ning character. ”

Wei Chenfeng nodded and said: "Yan Ning, good name, little brother Yan, my surname is Wei Chenfeng, a person from Linzi, Qingzhou, it is really a great blessing in life to meet little brother Yan today." ”

Yan Ning said with a smile: "It's also my honor to know someone like Brother Wei. ”

The two of them were polite, Wei Chenfeng suddenly shook the iron chains on his feet, looked sideways with a pair of eyes, stared straight at Yan Ning, and said, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?" ”

Yan Ning saw him staring at him with a pair of eyes, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but he still said: "Brother Wei, I have never practiced martial arts since I was a child. ”

Wei Chenfeng suddenly laughed and asked, "Little Brother Yan, do you want to escape from this cell?" ”

Hearing this, Yan Ning looked up at the iron window, outside the iron window, the cold wind was still cold, and the snow was falling faster today. As soon as he thought of what he had suffered in the past few days, from being tortured and beaten in the county government to being whipped in this cell, he didn't know when he would see the light of day again, he didn't know how to tell the grievances in his heart, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, and he said with a crying voice: "Brother Wei, I have never committed any crimes, it was all wronged by that dog official, I am innocent, and I naturally want to leave here." ”

Wei Chenfeng saw that his words were sincere, and he had already helped him, and said: "Little Brother Yan, I saw that the official sent you to beat you fiercely today, your body must be unbearable, I practiced in my early years, and learned some breathing and breathing techniques, if you don't dislike it, I will teach you today, it can also relieve your pain, and you can also strengthen your body, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

As the saying goes, no merit is not punished, Yan Ning was flattered by these words, and he bowed down and thanked: "Brother Wei, you and I meet in Pingshui, how can I accept such a great favor from you?" ”

Wei Chenfeng waved his hand and smiled: "Little Brother Yan, although you and I only have a one-sided relationship, I think you are very close to each other, you and I are both scholars, so you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Yan Ning excused himself again, he was soft-natured, he couldn't talk about Wei Chenfeng, he raised his hand and swore: "Brother Wei is so gracious, if I, Yan Ning, can be released from prison, he will repay him one day."

Seeing that he looked serious, Wei Chenfeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, that's the case, little brother Yan, every word I say next, you must keep it in mind and not forget it." ”

Yan Ning nodded in agreement, and Wei Chenfeng pointed: "You first sit down cross-legged against the wall, and spread your hands at the base of your legs." ”

After Yan Ning sat down against the wall, Wei Chenfeng said again: "You close your eyes now, take a breath with all your strength, and try it." ”

Yan Ning closed his eyes and inhaled hard, and when he inhaled, the wound in his chest ached, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and he leaked out in one breath.

Wei Chenfeng shouted in a deep voice: "Little Brother Yan, don't be discouraged. ”

Yan Ning took a sharp breath again, this breath made his limbs hurt, Yan Ning endured the pain and didn't dare to let it go.

Wei Chenfeng saw that he was a scholar, he could endure the pain of flesh and skin, sat upright and breathed, and was very satisfied in his heart, and said: "Okay, very good, then you have to recite the mantra with me in your heart, little brother Yan, you have to remember it all." ”

I only heard Wei Chenfeng say leisurely: "The clearer, the source of turbidity, the moving, the base of stillness; People can always be quiet, and heaven and earth will return............ When the yin and yang are the root of all things............ True and always adapted, true and always available; Always clean, always quiet......"

"The clear, the source of turbidity, the movers, the foundation of the stillness......", Yan Ning was originally a reader, these just a few sentences, he recited it silently in his heart, and he remembered that when he was a child, because his family was poor, he couldn't afford to hire a teacher, all the books, if he couldn't understand the meaning of it again, he would memorize the article, and then read it all the time with a brute force, and read it all the time, many obscure books, but he also gnawed it down.

Yan Ning recited it silently in his heart, and found that he couldn't understand its meaning, so he kept reciting the mantra silently in his heart, and after reciting it a few times at first, Yan Ning found that there was no change in his body, and he was puzzled in his heart, Wei Chenfeng shouted: "Keep your heart and keep reading." ”

Yan Ning shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart, and kept reciting the mantra silently in his heart, I don't know how many times he recited it, he suddenly felt a breath of qi swimming out of his dantian, this qi was as thin as a gossamer, after circling in the dantian, this qi suddenly differentiated into two different qi, rushing to the left and right hands respectively, and the two qi rushed through several acupoints such as Jiquan, Qingling, and Shaohai, and rushed towards the acupoints such as Shaochong Shaofu at the end of the arm.

When that qi broke through several acupoints on his left hand, Yan Ning suddenly felt a cold qi spread across his left half of his body, freezing him to fold his fingers; When another qi broke through the acupoint of his right hand, a burning sensation came from the right half of his body, burning him to the core.

The cold and blazing breath disappeared in an instant after breaking through the Shaofu acupoint at the end of his arm, Rao was like this, and the two breaths also stimulated Yan Ning's wounds all over his body, causing him to clench his teeth and break out in a cold sweat.

Just when those two breaths dissipated, at this moment, a warm current gushed out of the dantian, slowly flowing towards the whole body, where the warm current passed, Yan Ning only felt numb all over his body, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable. This warm current flowed through his body, making him seem to be floating in the clouds, and his whole body was indescribably smooth.

Yan Ning kept repeating the mantra silently, and the three breaths kept appearing in his body, making him uncomfortable and comfortable, and his mind was dizzy, so in a daze, he didn't know when he fell asleep.
