The fourth robber was a little frightened when he saw that the three companions were all put down, and quickly stopped his body and waited for the fifth companion to come up, wanting the two to join forces to attack the demon. The demon saw the robber's intentions, and also stopped his body to confront the robber, waiting for Zhao Laosan to come up.

The demon thought to himself: "It's 2 against 2, one of the opponents was also hit by a crossbow arrow and was injured, and the winning chance of your side is 95%, so there is no need to risk fighting with the two opponents." Wait for Uncle Zhao to come up, one-on-one, and the battle can be resolved in three minutes at most. If 2 robbers form a back-to-back formation, I will shoot them with a flying cone, and the bandit facing me can see the flight path of my flying cone and can dodge, but the bandit with his back to me cannot see the flight path of my flying cone, how do I think you can hide?"

Zhao Laosan came up and said, "The three robbers have been dealt with." Find a way to separate the 2 robbers, you deal with the injured robber, and I drag the uninjured robber. Be careful, the injured bandit's arm is in a strange position, one is that his arm is injured, and the other is that this person is using a hidden weapon, so be ready to launch a hidden weapon. ”

30 meters away from the two robbers, the demon walked back and forth three times, thinking, "That injured bandit's arm posture is a bit abnormal. The killing distance of hand-thrown hidden weapons generally does not exceed 30 meters. Hindered by the air, beyond 30 meters, the accuracy and speed of the concealed weapon will be seriously reduced, and the movement trajectory of the concealed weapon is easy to be seen through by the master and easy to dodge. Even at a distance of 20 meters, the accuracy and lethality of a hand-thrown concealment weapon is not high, and I can't shoot him with a flying cone, and he won't shoot me with a concealed weapon, both sides are waiting for their chance. The two robbers are also dragging their feet, and it is easy to run away when night comes. ”

The demon said to Zhao Laosan: "I'll keep an eye on them, you go and bring the crossbow arrows, stand 40 meters away and shoot them, give me a chance to attack, as long as it is close, the hidden weapon is useless, it is better to dagger." ”

Zhao Laosan wound all 8 crossbows, placed the crossbow arrows, and placed them on the ground, which was easy to take.

These two robbers also knew what Zhao Laosan was going to do, but they couldn't rush over to stop them. Because the distance from Zhao Laosan is 40 meters, 40 meters is outside the killing distance of hand throwing, and in order to ensure a certain degree of accuracy, the target of the sport can only be thrown at a distance of 10 meters. It takes more than 3 seconds to cross a distance of 30 meters, and there is a demon in the middle. In these 3 seconds, do you attack the demon or not? If you don't attack, within 10 meters of the demon's surroundings, you will be injured or even killed by the demon's hidden weapon; if you attack the demon, you will harass the demon with the hidden weapon in your hand, even if you can rush to Zhao Laosan's place, how much is the hidden weapon left in your hand! What should the opponent do if he comes up to be close to you?

And they are all playing with hidden weapons, and they all understand: 2 hidden weapon masters face off, and whoever moves first will lose the initiative. As long as you move, your opponent can predict your trajectory and perform-for-tat movements. If you can't deceive yourself, you will be cocooned.

If your opponent doesn't move, you can't predict it, because you can move whatever your opponent wants.

The two robbers could not escape, for the way they came had been cut off, and the only way they could go was the cave, and when they entered the cave, they were the turtles in the urn. I had to wait until night to climb over the cliff and escape. During the day, when you climb over the cliff, your movement flexibility and dodge rate will be seriously reduced, and you will be injured by the opponent's hidden weapons and crossbow arrows, and once you are injured, the chance of running away is close to zero. When climbing cliffs at night, the agility and evasion rate of movement are reduced more than during the day, but due to the low visibility at night, the accuracy of the opponent's hidden weapons and crossbow arrows will drop to near zero. You can also sneak attack your opponent at night, and you basically don't want to sneak attack your opponent during the day, unless you are ambushed.

However, these two robbers were also very smart, and they began to move, always keeping a three-point line with the demon and Zhao Laosan. Zhao Laosan wanted to shoot a crossbow arrow, and there was a high probability that he would shoot the demon standing in the middle.

Zhao Laosan is not stupid, and he also moves in a fan shape around the demon left and right. The distance between Zhao Laosan and the demon is 10 meters, and the distance between the two robbers and the demon is 30 meters, in other words, the radius of Zhao Laosan is 10 meters, and the movement radius of the two robbers is 30 meters. Zhao Laosan moved 1 meter, the 2 robbers had to move 3 meters, and Zhao Laosan can move slowly, fast, slow, and fast, and can also move 1 meter to the left, and suddenly stop moving 1 meter to the right. The two robbers had to keep an eye on Zhao Laosan's every move, keep up with Zhao Laosan's rhythm, and after 15 minutes, they were tired enough to choke and began to kick and shush angrily.

Zhao Laosan seized the opportunity to shoot an arrow, and the two robbers had to dodge. The demon took the opportunity to close the distance with the robbers, and slowly the distance between them changed from 30 meters to 25 meters. The two robbers felt the change in distance from the demon and knew what the demon wanted to do. Slowly retreated and distanced himself from the demon.

The luck of these 2 robbers was also too bad, and in the fan movement, they triggered the trap set by the demon. The main thing is that the range of movement is large, both forward and backward movement and left and right movement, in order to keep up with Zhao Laosan's movement, the attention is all on Zhao Laosan, and there is no time to pay attention to the feet; One of the robbers' feet was firmly locked in the trap, and the robber let out a desperate scream.

When the other robber saw this, he turned and ran. The demon also quickly rushed forward and gave a hammer to the robber who was caught in the trap, and then chased after the robber who had escaped. Zhao Laosan also followed with crossbow arrows to catch up.

The robber knew that he couldn't beat 2 people, and he would be chased by the opponent if he hid in the cave, and there was no danger in the cave, and there was no secret passage, so he would only be caught by the opponent's urn. The robber had to venture over the cliff, but was soon shot by the demon's flying cone, and after being injured, he couldn't run and pull, and was finally captured alive.

After Zhao Laosan and the demons cleaned up the battlefield, they found that these robbers still had food on them, that is, meat and dry cakes, and a small gourd filled with wine;

Zhao Laosan took a sip of wine and said, "This wine is good." These robbers will enjoy it. Then the head of the deceased was cut off, put in a basket, and the woodcutter carried it on his back, escorting the only captive back to the yamen. After verifying the heads and captives, the demon received 1,300 taels of silver tickets. Isn't it 800 taels? That's right. Because you have completed 2 bounty missions, you will get 500 taels more, and the extra 2 people are suspects in another bounty mission.

Zhao Laosan gave the woodcutter 200 taels, and the woodcutter left happily with a thousand thanks.

In the end, Zhao Laosan said to the demon: "There are 2,000 taels of silver tickets in this box. There were also some jewels, which were worth 2,300 taels after I got them to the auction house. Our income from this trip is 5,400 taels, and the robbers' weapons and equipment are a kind of class, you can take them, you are a forger, and you just use this garbage to practice your craft. The benefits of this trip are really good. I'm going to find 2 or 3 bounties with oil and water to pick them up. ”

The demon has free time and is reading again.

"Lu Zu Hundred Character Tablet":

Forget to keep your words, and lower your heart for nothing.

Knowing the sect master, who is looking for nothing else.

It is true that things must be responded to, and things should not be confused,

Don't be obsessed with sex and live in yourself, and sex lives in and back.

Qi Hui Dan self-knot, the pot with Kan Li,

Yin and yang are repeated, and a thunder is generalized.

The white clouds are on the top, and the nectar is sprinkled on Sumeru,

Drink the longevity wine, who knows.

Sit and listen to the stringless song, Mingtong chemical machine,

Twenty sentences are coming, and the end of the ladder to the sky.

"Forget to keep your word, and lower your heart for nothing."

The unique concept of "Qi" and "Qi" Daomen is equivalent to the sum of the meanings of the three concepts of "essence, qi and spirit".

"Yan": to speak. This refers to all the behavioral consciousness of the cultivator.

"Keep": It is to guard the dantian with the mind. The primary exercises require the cultivator to keep the dantian, but this "Lu Zu Hundred Character Tablet" talks about the intermediate exercises, so you must forget about the intention to keep the dantian. If the "keep" in "nourishing qi and forgetting to keep words" is interpreted as "keeping one", and "forgetting words" and "keeping one" are juxtaposed, then the order of words in the first sentence is "nourishing qi and forgetting words", and "keeping one" and "not doing" in the following sentence are contradictory, because "keeping one" is promising.

"Lowering the mind": reducing all thoughts and emotions to the minimum and the least, there is no best at all, in fact, it cannot be done, it can only be infinitely close. That's why the word "down" is used.

"Words", "keeping", and "lowering the heart" are all promising, and to achieve non-action, inaction is the goal.

This sentence is the core of the whole article.

"Know the sect master when you move, and find someone if you have nothing to do. ”

After entering the state of cultivation, there will be various feelings in the body. It doesn't matter, naturally, don't look for the origin of the feeling. As soon as you have the idea of finding the origin, that is, you have knowledge, and you will be ejected from the cultivation state of non-action and non-action, and you will enter the static state of being promising, or even end the cultivation state.

"It is true that it is necessary to respond to things, and it is necessary not to be confused, not to be obsessed with self-dwelling, and to live with self-revival. ”

It doesn't matter if people want to get in touch with some worldly people, they don't have to be seduced. Cultivators are divided into two directions, one direction is to go into the deep mountains and old forests, cut off the relationship with the world, and not be disturbed by the worldly people and things, this direction is the cultivation that the Daomen said. One direction is for cultivators to enter the worldly life, increase their understanding of the worldly people and things, and thus transform, or change the three views. The method used by cultivators in this direction is what the Dao Sect usually calls experience. There is no superiority or inferiority between cultivation and experience, you can combine the two directions, and finding a method that suits you is the best way.

"Qi Hui Dan is self-knotting, the pot is equipped with Kan Li, Yin and Yang are repeated, and there is a thunder in generalization. The white clouds are on the top, and the nectar is sprinkled on Sumeru. ”

It is about the various feelings that arise in the cultivator's cultivation state. Everyone's feelings are different, even if the same person is in different cultivation states, in different stages of the same cultivation state, the feelings are different, there is no need to feel the same as Lu Dongbin. Everyone's path in cultivation is different, and following their own path is. You don't have to understand this sentence.

"Drink the longevity wine, who knows. Sit and listen to the stringless music, Mingtong makes a chemical machine. ”

The pleasure that cultivation brings, the joy of self-satisfaction, or the benefits, is easy to understand.

"Twenty sentences are coming, and the end is up the ladder to heaven. ”

This sentence is nonsense to make up the number of words.

The demon understood: "This is an article about intermediate cultivation. The martial arts book that I practiced was just a collection of the experience and tips of many cultivators in the book. There are also "Huang Ting Jing" and "Wuzhen Chapter" are all elementary cultivation books, so they pay attention to guarding the dantian with their minds and using their ideas. These are all promising and belong to low-level cultivation. And the high-level cultivation is nothingness, selflessness, nothingness, mindlessness, and non-action, which are repeatedly emphasized in the four books "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Sutra", "Chongxu Zhenjing", and "Yin Fu Jing". "Forgetting to keep one's words and lowering one's heart" is also a kind of promising, which can only enter the state between "nothing" and "being", and there is still a certain distance from "nothingness and inaction". You can try to use the method described in "Lu Zu's Hundred Character Tablet" to "nourish your qi and forget to keep your words, and lower your heart for nothing." Knowing the sect master, who is looking for nothing else. To enter the intermediate cultivation state, it can be used in cultivation, casting, and forging alloys, and you can also try to use it in fighting. ”

The demon believed: "The benefits that I have brought to myself from reading Taoist books recently are obvious, after all, I know that I have a high-level cultivation state, an intermediate cultivation state, and a low-level cultivation state, and I know it and why it is true; ”

Bottom line: The demon's horizons have broadened, and he has his own opinion on the martial arts cultivation book in his hand.

If you have an opinion or an idea, you have to take action, and experimenting to verify your idea is the best action. After many experiments, the demon discovered or invented some small tricks and small methods or small means from a low-level cultivation state to an intermediate cultivation state in combination with its own situation, so that it can have both fish and bear's paws.

"Mencius: Gaozi I":

Fish, I want too; Bear's paws, as well as I want. You can't have both, and you can't have both, and you can give up the fish and take the bear's paw. Life, also what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also.
