Aside from internal strength, the reason why martial arts is "martial arts" is to pay attention to close hand-to-hand combat, if you can quickly and skillfully use these skills of unloading, transformation, and countering, you can undoubtedly have the upper hand in most battles.

This old man seemed to have only instructed him in three moves, but in fact, if he studied it deeply, the essence of the world's martial arts defense parry had already been attributed to this.

However, now Xiao Yan just obediently remembered, and didn't realize how much benefit these moves would bring him.

At this time, he hadn't recovered from the residual strength of his punch, and he was grinning and gasping for cold air, while rubbing his body and slowly standing up.

"Sit down. The old man said.

"Yes. ”

Xiao Yan arched his hand and sat on the big stone again, but he didn't dare to complain at all, and behaved very respectfully.

The blind old man seemed to feel it, and he smiled kindly: "These things, ordinary people are difficult to comprehend without decades of practice, and it is expected that you will not be able to learn them for a while, the old man taught you today, and it is just a matter of fate, as for how much you can comprehend, it all depends on your understanding......

"Thank you for the teachings of the old man!" Although Xiao Yan didn't understand, the name of "decades" alone was enough to frighten people: "The younger generation is frightened, I don't know how he can be taught like this, if he only says that it is fate, it is really unconvincing, and I hope that the old gentleman will make it clear!"

"Childe is a bit discerning, it's really unseemly," the blind old man smiled faintly, "It's a pity that the old man is willing to say these words more, and it's really just because of fate - but it's not the fate of you and I to meet." ”

Xiao Yan nodded as if he didn't understand, then shook his head again, and said with a wry smile: "Could it be that the juniors have also seen you before?"

"Yes, I did. To his surprise, the blind old man actually admitted, "Both my brothers and sisters have seen you—of course, you must not know it, because you were not born at that time." ”

He paused, then smiled and said something that made Xiao Yan even more jaw-dropping:

"The old man's eyes were gouged out by your father. ”

"My ...... Father ......" Xiao Yan said word by word," ...... Dig ...... Your eyes?"

He almost blurted out how the old man could not fight an ordinary peasant, but suddenly he thought of what the old village chief had said to him in Niujia Village in the past.

Maybe the old man is referring to it...... It's your own father, right?

Heh, with such a vicious attack, it seems that he is still quite a powerful guy......

Xiao Yan pursed his lips with some disdain, and suddenly thought of why this blind old man was so sure of his background? He had just shown himself palmistry!

For a moment, a trace of surprise and incomprehension slowly emerged in his heart.

"It's all old," the blind old man sighed a little embarrassed, and began to recall the past:

"Many years ago, when the old man's eyes were still bright, because he was proficient in the art of Qimen, relying on his ability to tell divination, he was also beautiful for a while, and because of his crazy and indulgent temperament, he and my junior brother were called 'crazy hexagram doctors' in the rivers and lakes......"

"At that time, there were many people, all vying to beg the two of us to go and treat them, but the two of us were crazy, the other was weird, and everything was done according to personal likes and dislikes, and few agreed, except for one person——"

"Who?" asked Xiao Yan.

The blind old man sighed softly: "Your father ......"

"Your father, not only now, but also in those days was also a famous man of the year - in fact, before that, the old man had calculated a hexagram for himself, but unfortunately the five senses were troubled, and the six senses were troubled, which made the two of us very worried, so I had no intention of agreeing - but after thinking about it, your father was an upright chivalrous man, and the old man deliberately wanted to seek his refuge to see if he could change his life with manpower - but who would have thought that......?

"Exactly...... What happened?"

The blind old man sighed and said, "At that time, your mother was pregnant, and unfortunately she was unwell, and your father, although he was a little rigid and stiff to outsiders, loved his own wife very much—so he wanted to invite my junior brother to come and see it, and keep my mother and son safe." ”

"This trip should have been nothing to do, but ah, this fate, sometimes it's really hard to say. After the diagnosis that day, the old man suddenly wanted to calculate a hexagram for your mother on a whim, and your father thought it was okay, so he agreed, but this calculation was a big problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

The blind old man turned his head and faced the former with a solemn expression, although he had no eyes for a long time, Xiao Yan seemed to be in the dark, and he could feel a pair of wise and deep eyes watching him. Xiao Yan felt a little pressure, and subconsciously lowered his head, but found that the old man's fingers were rubbing carefully.

After a long time, the blind old man shook his head:

"I tell you that it is against the number of days, and you only need to understand that it is a very vicious and bad hexagram. ”

"Junior...... I see. Xiao Yan nodded suspiciously.

"This matter, the old man at that time, out of prudence, only told my junior brother, he advised me 'divination, do not believe all things, do not lie in vain, so as not to cause trouble', I agreed at the time, but a little angry, so I made a bet with my junior brother, I take the destiny of heaven as the murderer, he wants to change manpower to auspicious. ”

"But I never thought that at a later banquet, the old man got drunk and told the bad luck in front of many guests and nobles, as well as your father and mother, which made your father very annoyed, and then ......"

The blind old man paused, and then pointed to his eyes with a smile: "These two little things are gone......

"Uh...... That ......" Xiao Yan opened his mouth in embarrassment, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to scratch his head in embarrassment.

The blind old man felt it, waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "The little boy doesn't have to care, in the final analysis, the old man himself is talking nonsense...... It's okay this way, I don't have eyes, but I can see more things clearly, and I'm a lot cleaner—but it's my junior brother, whose temperament has become more eccentric, and he used to persuade me, but now I have to persuade him often, hahahaha...... Yo, I almost forgot!"

The blind old man lifted the rod suddenly, and the water surface splashed again with a huge splash, and the water bandit was still hanging in the air, but he was motionless and lifeless.

"Hmph," the blind old man listened for a while, then snorted coldly and scolded: "This is going to let him die?

He carried the man's body back to the shore, and after a while, he found the right place, drew his short knife, and in a single stroke, cut off the man's head entirely, and kicked the body back into the pool, which immediately stained a large pool of water red.

Xiao Yan couldn't bear to see it, but he didn't feel any discomfort anymore when he thought that dozens of people had died at the hands of this person in the same way.

"Childe didn't say a word, is it because he is afraid of blood?" the blind old man washed the blood-drenched blade in the pool water, and then smiled.

"That's not the case, it's just that the juniors still have something to understand, may I ask the seniors," Xiao Yan couldn't help but say, "Since you haven't seen me, how can you determine my identity?"

"It's not exactly the old man," the blind old man stroked his beard, "The old man just felt that your life was a little strange that day, and he couldn't help but think of the old days, it was my junior brother, who recognized you at a glance." ”

"Does Old Mr. Evil Qianchen have such magical powers?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's natural," the blind old man was a little proud for a while, "although my junior brother has a bad temper, his ability is really not bad, but no one he has seen will forget it—even a fetus like Childe who is still in the womb." ”

"I see......" Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully.

"But the old man is a little curious," the blind old man stroked his beard and said meaningfully:

"What the old man said just now, he didn't mention anything about his name, looking at Childe's current situation, he must not know what his life experience is, right?

"What's the use of being curious?" Xiao Yan thought about what happened to him now, and it seemed that most of the old man's hexagrams had been fulfilled, so he arched his hand more convincingly, and said:

"The old gentleman is so powerful but he doesn't mention it, he must not say it, and naturally there is a reason not to say it, why should the younger generation go against the sky to destroy the numerology in it and increase the variables?"

"Hahaha, I can't imagine that the little boy is also a person with a lot of wisdom!" the blind old man laughed, "If it weren't for the fact that time was running out, tsk, the old man would still really intend to accept the little boy as an apprentice......"

"The old gentleman said with a smile," Xiao Yan said with a wry smile, "Since it is an ever-changing Qimen school, with the qualifications of the juniors, it will definitely ruin the reputation of the gentleman." ”

"In that case," the blind old man raised his eyebrows, "Little boy, do you need to do another hexagram?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded again: "The matter has come to this, no matter how bad it is, it can't be any worse—then it's all up to the old man!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed it to the old man.

Unexpectedly, the old man also stretched out his hand:

"Please, son, pay a hundred taels of gold first. ”

"Gold...... One hundred taels?" Xiao Yan was taken aback, not that he couldn't afford it now, but this sudden high price was really amazing:

"I remember when I was in the town, the old gentleman said, 'Ten Texts and One Hexagram', right?"

"Ten trigrams at the beginning, and one hundred gold hexagrams," the blind old man looked serious, "This is the rule of the old man, because few people need to be counted as the second hexagram - if the son minds, it can not be counted." ”

"That's it, it's okay......" Xiao Yan sighed, opened his backpack without hesitation, and poured out all the hundreds of taels of gold inside, and a few of them rolled into the pool water:

"Anyway, it's all something outside the body, if you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, I don't think you need it, if the old gentleman needs it, take it all......"

The blind old man hooked the corners of his mouth, nodded, then took Xiao Yan's hand, and once again followed the palm prints, groping carefully......

Gollum –

A few red copper plates jumped on the dirt floor, and they were symbols that were difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Through his fingertips, the blind old man quickly touched the copper plates, and gradually, his expression became very strange.

"Senior, how is the hexagram?" Looking at the old man who was speechless, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take the lead in breaking the silence.

"The difference between a thought and the changes are endless," the blind old man said slowly, "What happened to Childe when he came in is quite a big variable, tsk tsk......"

"Oh, is that good or bad?" Xiao Yan shrugged indifferently.

"Xia Xia Ji often refers to the omen of great evil, the disaster of blood and light!" the blind old man raised his head suddenly, "and tonight!"

"Huh?" Xiao Yan was puzzled.

"Little boy......" The blind old man slowly approached, and his voice was very low, very low:

"You're afraid you won't live to tomorrow. ”

"What!"

Xiao Yan stood up suddenly, his feet slipped, and he almost fell into the pool: "Why did the old gentleman say this!"

"Childe can not believe it, but listen to the old man's words, don't think about avoiding this calamity," the blind old man Zhengse said, "This is a difficult hexagram, but there is a fire in the middle, if you want to avoid it, it will only go deeper and deeper into a desperate situation." ”

When Xiao Yan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Could it be that Mr. Fei has a way to save him?"

"The old man understands what Childe is thinking," the blind old man said meaningfully, "I dare not say how to save him, but there is indeed a trace of life." ”

"It sounds a little troublesome," Xiao Yan smiled despite his pale face: "It's okay, please rest assured, old gentleman, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, success or not, I have no regrets." ”

"It's good that Childe can understand the words 'let it be'," the blind old man nodded, "The key to whether you can survive this catastrophe tonight lies in the two of you." ”

"Two, people?" Xiao Yan was a little surprised.

"Yes, the old man said bluntly, these two, one is the old man, and the other ......," the blind old man said in a deep voice, "...... It's the person who caused this catastrophe, this time, the fate of the birth, all because of him - I believe that in the heart of the child, there is almost an answer, right?"

"Arouse ...... The people of this calamity?" Xiao Yan thought about it, since it was the one who caused these calamities, most of them were not good, and now in this Shouzhou City, it must be that this flower lady and Tie Shengbiao can meet this condition, right?

However, what made Xiao Yan puzzled was that since he was the one who caused the calamity, why would he be the one who solved the calamity?

Could it be that one of these two people will toss him to the point of dying and come back to save himself?

"But," Xiao Yan finally asked a useful question, "how did the old gentleman become one of them?"

The blind old man laughed, he pointed to the pair of gold on the ground, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"Since you have overcharged such money, you naturally have to eliminate the disaster with others, hahaha......"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Childe, remember," the blind old man stopped him as he was leaving, and said solemnly:

"Since the old man intervenes, the number of calamities will also increase, if the son can survive the first calamity, come here to find me, before sunrise, the old man will be here to wait for you - ten million, ten million!"

Xiao Yan sighed, arched his hand, and said:

"Juniors, remember!"
