Volume 1 Introspection on Life Through Trials Chapter 8 The Great Man of Heroes

In short, Qingchen felt that his father and mother were very mysterious, and he never knew what they were doing and thinking.

I even felt that my family seemed to be incompatible with Qixia Town and even the rivers and lakes, like outsiders living in seclusion.

Be careful, never fight with others, and dare not show off.

But he is also a member of the Jianghu martial arts family, and his prestige is even more than Qixia Town, and even the big families in the county have heard of it.

There will be twists and turns.

Thinking about it, drowsiness hit, eyes closed, Qingchen ended this thrilling day.

Early the next morning, breakfast time, on the table.

When Qingchen was thinking about how to buy time with his father, Qing Tianjun spoke, "Chen'er, I have important things to do with your mother and go out for two days, and when I come back tomorrow night, I will give you two days off." ”

"We're not here, you have to be careful in everything, and don't be reckless. ”

"But don't be afraid, I'll support you in everything. ”

Qingchen was very suspicious, but thinking that it was important to save people, he didn't ask too much and accepted it happily.

After seeing off his parents, Qingchen immediately rushed to Zhang Tiehu's house non-stop.

He wanted to tell Zhang Tiehu and his wife some things first, and then meet with Fat Man, which they agreed before they broke up last night.

But what Qingchen didn't know was that although his parents seemed to be gone, they didn't actually travel far, but followed behind him.

It's just that they are extremely skilled, and their eyesight and hearing are far from comparable, and Qingchen doesn't know.

When he arrived at Zhang Tiehu's house, without saying a word, Qingchen took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Tiehu.

You must know that one or two lines of silver can sustain an ordinary family of three for half a year, although not rich, but not poor.

So holding this hundred taels of silver, Zhang Tiehu's hands were already trembling, and the old tears were all over the place.

looked at Qingchen who wanted to say something, but he never said it.

Seeing this situation, Qingchen gently instructed: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, this is my little heart, you must accept it, it is not easy to go to other places to make a living, bring more plates for emergencies." ”

"Also, remember to wait for us tomorrow at dawn at the Land Temple at the east end of the town. ”

"If we don't come at dawn, go to the field at once, and don't wait for us any longer. ”

"Remember not to let anyone know. ”

After speaking, Qingchen hurriedly took out a beautiful paper bag from his pocket, "This is a map of several nearby counties, starting from the east end of the town, crossing Shanyin Town and Meilong Town, and entering the territory of Lingbi County next door, the Fan family's power is no longer within reach." ”

"So as long as the second elder follows the route I marked, there will be no problem. ”

Zhang Tiehu didn't know what to say, but he trembled and nodded.

"In addition, the Fan family robbed Zhang Yan yesterday, and today they must set off from the west end of the town to Qutai City. ”

"I will ambush with Fat Man in Shilipo, and after I succeed, I will immediately rush to the Land Temple in the east of the town, the second elder just needs to pack his bags and wait for us there, don't worry about the Fan family's pursuers, they won't find out so quickly." ”

"Hmmm......"

"Even if they found out, they would only chase them in the direction of the west end of the town, and you are walking from the east end of the town, and they would never have thought that we would return to the east end of the town after we robbed people. So as long as you enter the confines of the next county, it is safe. ”

"Hmmm......"

"But it's better to go a little further. Before entering the next county, try not to take the main road, so as not to be discovered by the Fan family's acquaintances or spies. The trail is difficult to walk, but it is safer. ”

After finishing in a hurry, Zhang Tiehu and Aunt Zhang, who couldn't wait to nod, reacted.

Qingchen had already rushed out of the door and ran to the stream to meet Fat Man.

But before he reached the stream, in the distance, Qingchen saw Fat Man standing next to an oversized round table.

Shirtless "fighting" with a big fat rooster.

The scene was "bloody".

I saw that he was wearing a crooked hat, his hair was scattered, his mouth was full of oil, and he was shirtless, standing in front of the table with his hands and mouth.

One hand is holding down the back of the big rooster, and the other hand is tearing the left leg of the big rooster, while the bite in the mouth seems to be a goose leg.

In front of the plate, in addition to the "corpse" of the big rooster being torn apart.

There was also a large goose with a missing leg and a roast duck without a head.

The grass next to it was littered with the bones of at least five kinds of barbecue animals, according to Qingchen, a food expert.

In the face of this situation, even if he knows that Qingchen is fat and delicious and can eat.

Even if he knew that the amount of food for martial arts students was often several times or even more than ten times that of ordinary people, he was stunned.

Because there is much more to the table than that, except for the goose and the roast duck.

There is also a roast suckling pig, a roast whole lamb, a bunch of roast pigeons, a large pot of braised beef and multiple plates of fruit.

There were even two bottles of aged daughter red.

In the gap between spitting out the bones, I saw Qingchen standing not far away, and Fat Man didn't even have time to beckon.

Just said, "Boss, come on, burp, eat." ”

Just continue to "fight".

Qingchen shook his head with a smile and walked over slowly, feeling a little distressed in his heart.

He knew that the reason Fat Man did this was because he was afraid that he would never have a chance to eat these things again after the failure of the operation tonight.

So he secretly decided: "No matter what, you can't let Fat Man be hurt in the slightest." ”

While thinking, he quickly joined the ranks of the fat man.

At the end of the "battle", the two sat on the grass, drinking wine and talking about a happy life.

First, he burped with satisfaction, "It's so happy, I've never eaten so much meat early in the morning, it's so refreshing!"

"In the future, I will eat like this every day, anyway, my old man is rich, and he doesn't spend it in vain. ”

Qingchen could feel the timidity under the fat man's bold words, because this was not the usual fat man at all.

So he smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me, no one can hurt you." ”

"It's not easy to drink wine and eat meat, this is the life of a chivalrous man. ”

"Drink wine in big bowls, eat meat in large pieces, travel all over the world, and fight unevenly. ”

"Punish adultery and eliminate evil, do the right thing for heaven, be happy and revenge, and be dashing. ”

"Thank you, Boss!" Fat Man smiled, and suddenly said seriously, "I have a question I want to ask Boss." ”

"Last night I was thinking about what kind of life I want to live, and the answer is, of course, a life with food, but it can't just be a life with food. ”

"Over the years, I know that the boss has been deliberately teaching me the truth of being a human being, and I am also trying to learn. I only eat what I eat now, and I don't eat what other people eat, unless I help them. ”

"So I thought about living a life of helping others, so that I could eat what other people wanted. ”

"I thought of chivalry. ”

Speaking of this, Fat Man became unusually serious, "Boss, tell me, what is the pursuit of chivalry? Is it that if you become a chivalrous man, you can go all over the world and eat all over the world?"

Hearing this, Qingchen couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart, "Once you are fat for eight hundred years, you dare to love it just to eat." ”

"However, everyone has their own preferences, as long as it doesn't hurt to pursue the true meaning of life, even if you are a little greedy, what's the matter?"

Then he also sat down and said: "There was once a highly respected predecessor who said: The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. ”

I think what he said makes sense! But he still only saw his home and country in his eyes. ”

"There is a country above the family, isn't patriotism the most extensive feelings?"

"There is a more transcendent pursuit-Tao. Qingchen said, "Everything in the universe is under the Tao, and patriotism is one of them." The Tao, even more fundamental, is the master, root and rule of everything. ”

"From the perspective of enlightenment, a true chivalrous man should not only have himself or the limited world he sees in his heart, such as home and country, he should not be bound by too many worldly emotions, he should go beyond the world, and he should go beyond everything in front of him. ”

"What does transcendence mean?"

"Transcendence is not negation, not giving up, but conforming to nature and the law of development of the original thing. Qingchen said.

"What does the Tao mean?"

"The way of the endless life of all things in heaven and earth!" Qing Chen took a deep breath and said meaningfully.

"The sage said, 'The way of heaven and earth, the transformation of all things, birth without being, for the sake of not worrying, success and dwelling', is a kind of endless way to give birth to all things!"

"Beyond all families and countries, beyond all forms of life, and encompassing all the rules of the universe!"

"It's too profound, is there a way of chivalry?"

"Embodied in the life of a chivalrous man, he should take life as the only consideration and treat every life equally. Do not mix too much selfishness and selfish desires, and do not limit the worldly concepts and forms to distinguish between the noble, the lowly, the virtuous, and the foolish. ”

"Then there is a reason for life to live, there is a reason for death to die, the living do not have to fear death, and the dead do not have to live. ”

"Is there such a knight? I feel that everyone wants to live forever, and everyone is afraid of death......

"Maybe!" Qingchen smiled, "Everyone has a chance to live, and they all have a destiny to die. ”

"We must not arbitrarily decide the life and death of others because of personal love and hatred, likes and dislikes, so as to create one bloody case after another, and create one period after another of family and country hatred, which is called 'chivalrous and righteous'. ”

"In my opinion, it is just a matter of using the differences of the ego to achieve the fame and profit that my heart pursues. Where do you really understand the meaning of life and death, and the true meaning of cultivating all things?"

"What is equality?"

"In front of the Tao, everyone is equal, but in reality, people have different identities, and what is equality, the essence of life? Qingchen shook his head, "Whether you really want to be such a chivalrous warrior, I'm also a little vague." ”

"What?"

"Although I have a bit of a vague idea of the real hero. Qingchen's eyes showed a determined light, "But I know that what I want to do is not the kind of reckless hero and ranger who relies on personal preferences." ”

"It is not a loser who indiscriminately kills innocent executioners who fight for power and profit in the name of serving the country and the people, nor is it a loser who sells his soul and the people for the interests of himself or a certain group. ”

"What's that like?"

"I want to convey a spirit, a belief. ”

"Starting from the heart of the Dao, to seek justice for the weak, to cry out for the wronged, and to guide the way for the lost. ”

"Do the right way of the world with your own strength, and use the right way of the world to Kuang the current troubled times. It is my ambition to give all sentient beings a chance to be 'reborn', and to live up to what I have learned all my life. ”

"Wow......", Fat Man listened with stars in his eyes, and said slowly, "Help everyone!

Smacked his lips, and continued, "Boss, you must take me, let's go to the world and eat the world together!"

"Of course!" Qingchen was rare and arrogant, stood up, poured a large sip of wine, and said loudly,

"Let's go to the world together! to go out of our own unique heroic road, to eat all the food in the world!"

"Well, I'm sure the boss will. Fat Man also got up and poured a big sip of wine,

"Also, if we can come back alive, Boss, you must cook me your newly researched dishes,"

"I haven't eaten the boss's barbecue in days. ”

Qingchen turned around and patted his fat shoulder solemnly, "Don't worry, we will definitely come back." ”

"When the time comes, I'll make you any barbecue you want with the latest secret recipe. ”

"Well, I listen to the boss. What should I do next?" asked Chubby Man.

Qingchen groaned for a while, and whispered, "Wait." If the Fan family wants to send people to Qutai City, they must go out of the west of the town. ”

"According to the speed of the sedan chair, we can only reach Shilipo at the fastest tonight, so we will go there to ambush first. ”

"The advantage of choosing a night is that it is not easy for others to find out that we are and we have more time to prepare. ”

"What are we going to do to prepare?" asked Chubby Man, confused.

"Mountain people have their own tricks. Let's take a break and we'll set off later. Qing Chen replied mysteriously.

After speaking, he lay on the grass and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the fat man also lay down.
