"If you had arrived, maybe I would have agreed."

I didn't expect him to really agree, so I casually asked, "Why?" ”

"At that time, the situation was special, and now I have entered a cooling-off period, which is the same as falling in love, under a specific occasion and a specific atmosphere, it is possible to succeed, our father, fate has not reached that point."

I got up and looked at the sky, and although it was still early, I wanted to leave.

"Let's go, take that help from you, don't come to me if you have nothing to do in the future, it won't do you any good."

"Give me a greeting gift." I looked at the old man with a solemn expression and tried to be as sincere as I could.

"Do you think I'm a gift-giver all over? Something's okay? It's okay to fuck off. The old man scolded angrily and stood up, which looked like a send-off.

"Let's go, old man, take care of your body, live longer, and see the vicissitudes of the world for two more years."

"This is also fate, and I can't ask for it. Do you like to write on weekdays? ”

"I don't like it, I like to exercise, I like to hit people lately, violence can't solve the problem, but it can make people's thoughts clear."

"Come here, I'll show you."

I stepped forward, he stretched out his big thin hands, the palm of the shelf is half larger than the average person, absolutely not exaggerated, I didn't pay much attention to it before, the hands clicked up, fell on my shoulder, directly can easily cover my shoulder joint, very easy.

He exerted force in his hand, and a sharp pain came, and he couldn't help but scream.

He didn't care, he went down his arm, and everywhere his big hand went, it was like a steel hoop was tightened, and it hurt.

The first time I was not mentally prepared, I was caught off guard and screamed, this time I endured it without making a sound, pinched the skeleton of my arms, and gently pulled, I was pulled around, he grabbed my spine with three fingers, inch by inch, for a moment, I felt that I was no different from a cat, I was grabbed by the back of the neck, unable to move.

"The skeleton is good, you can practice, but you are older, but depending on your understanding, you can still catch it back, after all, your plasticity far exceeds that of other normal people, it's still early today, don't be busy, stay with me, I'll teach you a set of physical skills, go back and insist on practicing, it's more effective than practicing blindly."

My eyes widened, "How do you know I'm practicing myself?" ”

"In the orthodox sense, I am a Taoist, and medical skills are also a compulsory course for Taoist priests, I can still see the muscle strain on your body, you are old, you are not as good as a child, don't practice blindly, even if you want to exercise, you must have a scientific and systematic plan and plan, blind practice is harmful and useless, now your function is good, you can hold on, and when you are old in the future, you will know the consequences."

So, as long as you don't die, isn't it right to practice to die?

"Do it with me, once a day in the morning, noon and evening, in the morning, at the beginning of the day, at noon at the middle of the day, and at night at sunset."

"What if there is no sun?" I'm puzzled, this is careless, it's a rainy day, who knows when there is a sun?

The old man smiled, "What I just told you is just to look taller, you should remember eight o'clock in the morning in the summer and autumn seasons." Exercise at one o'clock at noon, seven o'clock in the evening, half past eight in the morning in the winter and spring, half past twelve at noon, and half past six in the evening. ”

"Why do I look so much like Baduanjin?"

"Baduanjin has some origin with it, but you don't need to know, as long as you follow the practice, it is not a problem to strengthen your body, if you can be like a day for a few years, persist for three years, when you can become a small success, decades like a day, then you can be a pillar of Q days in your old age."

"That's good."

There are a total of 13 movements in the whole set of physical techniques, the old man has been teaching from a little more to four o'clock in the afternoon, two and a half hours, the subtle differences in each action have been corrected by him, repeated dozens of times, until he can subconsciously put it out, to be honest, I admire my learning ability.

If you just learn a move, like a look, for so long, it's not enough at all, but in every action, there are nuances of the old man pinching and correcting my bones, until it is completely standard, and the formation of muscle memory is general, this is not simple, I remember that my previous learning ability was not so strong.

"The action is important, but the breathing method is also important, don't confuse it, remember, otherwise it will be in vain, it will not have much effect, and it will be half the effort, go ahead."

Walking to the door, I turned around and asked, "Did Huang Ping learn anything from you?" ”

"I've also learned another set of physical techniques, but his plasticity is not as good as yours, and you should be able to match him in strength after you become young."

"Do I have any reputation for this set of physical arts?"

"No, you have to say, you can call it F middle art or boiling battle method, your temperament, only by practicing this kind of physical art, can you persevere, remember, I only taught you the root, that is, the Tao, I didn't teach you the technique, don't think that you can practice and practice, just strengthen your body, and do the rest yourself."

I got off the Lingyun Temple and handed a cigarette to my glasses.

"What did the old man give you? Can I know? ”

When I was teaching me today, for a while, about half an hour, the old man asked me to practice by myself, called my glasses to the side, and asked me not to look, I guess I also taught him something.

"It's also a set of physical techniques, he said that I was quite suitable, so he passed it on to me, does Brother Qin want to learn it?"

I shook my head, "No, he said you are suitable, but he didn't say that I am suitable, there is no point in practicing blindly, let's do what I have at hand first, when I think of half an hour of exercise every morning, noon and evening, adding up to a day and a half hours, I feel a headache, and I don't know if I can stick to it." ”

I began to admire Huang Bing a little, he must have persevered, otherwise it would not be so strong.

"You can help me keep an eye on it from now on, no matter what, it's really a confession, I can't ignore it, he's old, don't be in the house one day and no one cares."

"The big boss has also explained, I know this."

"That's better."

I asked the glasses to help me send me downstairs to the tea restaurant, and drove back by myself, the old man said that the first month of practice had to be banned Y, no way, recently I can only stay away from the world and the second option.

What I didn't expect was that that meeting became the last time I met the old man, until the day he died, I didn't know his name - Miao Daoyi, formerly known as Miao Daoquan, a person from the Shanhai Region, who worked in politics and business, and later lived in seclusion on Zhongnan Mountain for ten years, and then traveled all over the world, and the orthodox teacher should be Quanzhenjiao.

It's been exactly one month and 15 days since I last saw him, Lingyun Temple is black and white, and the way up the mountain has been sealed by Huang Bing's people early, and the power of money has given Miao Dao a beautiful funeral, but I think he probably doesn't care much about this.

On the co-pilot, He Tianxia was dressed in a black dress, looking out of the window quietly, his face was ruddy, as if he could drip water, and his mental state was very good.

From afar, we saw the 'gatekeeper', and several men in black suits stood guard at the intersection, raised their hands at us, and signaled us to stop.

I rolled down the window and saw their head at a glance, acquaintance.

"Scar-eyed, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you all mixed up guarding the gate?"

His eyes were a little evasive, and his confidence was obviously not as sufficient as before, "Where are you going?" ”

"To attend the funeral, I had a relationship with Miao Daochang, is it reasonable to come to his funeral?"

"The big boss has said, except for the people on the list today, no one can be put in, you are not a resident of the mountain, and you are not on the list, you can't let you go, you can go."

I squinted slightly, "Really? ”

"Don't step on the belt of your trousers, I said no, it's not me who has the final say, that's the rule set by the big boss, you have to have the ability, you tell the big boss yourself, it's my business, I'm just a subordinate." Seeing my hand, Scareye hurriedly said as he stepped back to a safe distance.

"Hand you a cigarette, why are you in such a hurry, you call Huang Bing and ask him if he can let me go."

Scareye struggled for a moment, picked up his phone, walked aside, and after a while, walked back with a gloomy face.

"Let him go."

"I said it earlier, your Boss Huang will definitely let me go." I started the car and drove in.

and the world retracted his gaze, "Is Huang Bing the one who beat you last time?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, "Why do you say that?" ”

"The last time I saw him, the one who just guarded the door, he was very afraid of you, I know, the person who beat you can't be him, and the other one seems to have a good relationship with you, so it's even more impossible to beat you, then it's only their big boss." Jiang Hanyu said softly.

"Yes, it's him."

"Then why are you still here? Shouldn't it be that you have a grudge against him? ”

I smiled, "There is a grudge or not, it is not defined in this way, and even if there is a grudge, there is no possibility of resolving it, and today's incident is an opportunity." ”

I came to Miao Daoyi's funeral, and Huang Bing also knew about it, so he knew everything, and he might even guess that it was the people he arranged to guard here to give me breath, and he should have known that I had come to Miao Daoyi.

Today is a turning point in what he is going to do with our relationship.

Although it feels a little hasty, but to express his position in advance, it is also good to disrupt Huang Ping's arrangement, only when he moves, I can know his purpose, he does not move, I am more afraid.

Thinking of this, my heart is calmer. Following the mountain road, all the way up, Huang Bing did spend a lot of money, the entire mountain road, almost every other distance, there are people guarding, I held flowers in my hand, took Jiang Hanyu all the way up, crossed Lingyun Temple, and walked up the mountain road for nearly twenty minutes.

I saw a crowd of people gathered there next to a cemetery, not many, only a dozen, not as many as the people guarding the mountain road below.

When we got over there, all eyes were on us, and I was not frightened, so I stepped forward, laid down the flowers in front of the tombstone, bowed, and retreated to the rear.

Jiang Hanyu saw that Huang Bing was a little frightened, and subconsciously hid behind me.

"I should have called you junior brother." Huang Bing said with a smile.

"Where did this come from?" I pretended to be puzzled, anyway, he didn't come to Lingyun Temple with me at the beginning, as long as the glasses didn't sell me, he would never be able to get the details at the beginning.

"Really? I have a master and apprenticeship with Miao Daochang, and you are the same, so aren't we brothers in the same sect? ”

I shook my head, "No, I became attached to Miao Daochang because when I was in Faming County, he instructed me to make a lot of money in the gambling stone market, and then I had a thought, after all, it is every man's dream to get rich, but unfortunately there is no chance." ”
