As mentioned earlier, Shen Lang told Qi Yiyan about some of his past: Master Qing Xinzi had a friend in Shehong, Sichuan, and wrote to invite him to travel, and the master picked him up on the way back.

When he was twelve years old, something happened that made him very angry and unbearable.

After he arrived in the Snow Mountain, he didn't have any playmates at first, so he often went to the foot of the Snow Mountain to play, and soon met a little friend, his name was Wu Future, the same age as Shen Lang.

There is an unreasonable father in the family, who does not do his job every day, except for eating and sleeping, he has to drink every meal, and he will make his family angry when he is drunk.

Especially when I go out and come back, I am always drunk and drunk, and when I get home, I always have to look for Wu Future's mother's stubble, and I always look at my mother unpleasantly, raising my eyebrows and raising my eyes, thinking that she is not right, and that is not right. At every turn, she got angry and threw things, and when her friend Wu Future's mother said a few words, she grabbed her hair, slammed her head against the wall or pressed her to the ground with her fists, and sometimes went even further, stomping her head on the ground with her feet, and whipping her with any stick in her hand. Shen Lang saw this situation several times, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

One day, Shen Lang went to Wu Future's house again, and he and Wu Future were playing at home. Wu's future father happened to lose money and came home, and he was in an extremely bad mood. As soon as the man arrived at the door, Wu Future heard his father's footsteps and immediately got up to open the door.

The door opened, and when his father saw Wu Future, he didn't even enter the door, and pulled Wu Future out through the door, which was a punch and kick, and Wu Future had a blue nose and swollen face, and his face was covered with blood. That's not all, as soon as he lifted Shen Lang, he kicked him out of the door. And yelled at Wu Future, who was bloody: "Bastard, Lao Tzu will hack you to death first, and then hack your mother to death." ”

What people never expected was that after this man went in, he saw his wife, and he actually lifted the kitchen knife and really cut his wife to the ground, Shen Lang saw this scene and hurriedly walked out of the door in fright.

The man chased after him with a knife, and slashed his head at Shen Lang. Shen Lang had practiced martial arts, and he was also prepared, so he lowered his head and dodged. Seeing that Shen Lang was not cut, the man continued to chase and slash his son who fell to the ground, and raised his knife to cut it down while scolding.

Shen Lang saw that his friend would be hacked to death, so he picked up a wooden stick next to him and hit the man on the back, and the man reflexively came to cut Shen Lang. During the fight, the man was broken by Shen Lang with his right hand and one leg.

Since then, Shen Lang's fame has grown, and he has also received more people's attention and favor, which has also made him a little fluttery, and he has learned to be cynical and fight and make trouble.

When he grew up, with a good kung fu, he fought and killed at the station, dock, teahouse, and club, and usually ten or eight people were not his opponents, and he didn't gang up with anyone, he always went alone, and was called a lone wolf by the people on the rivers and lakes. The fame is growing day by day.

After three or four years of mixing like this, he returned to the Snow Mountain twice halfway, because everyone in the Snow Mountain Sect had more or less heard some bad news about him, and ignored him a little, Senior Brother Yan Weiran didn't say anything, just hoped that he would return to the Snow Mountain Sect as soon as possible, carry forward the Snow Mountain Sect, and not live up to the master's expectations for him. Shen Lang always said that sooner or later he would come back one day, and after speaking, he went down the mountain to wander the rivers and lakes.

Later, he wandered to southern China. One day, he went to Tianming Square in South China, where the South China Tobacco, Alcohol and Sugar Expo was being held. People come and go in the square, it is very lively, at this time, there is a person in front of him on the left who sells a dancing rag doll, what the seller says, this rag doll follows what he says, it is very funny, and the onlookers feel wonderful.

Shen Lang couldn't help but take a closer look, and just walked to the periphery of a large circle of onlookers, but someone was making noise on his right:

"Today, whatever you do, I'm divorced from this marriage!"

"Wife, don't make trouble, let's go home, okay. ”

......

I only heard the sound and didn't see the person who was arguing, Shen Lang was about to take a few steps closer to take a closer look, when suddenly a woman ran out of the crowd, panicked, ran over like a bird with a bow, and happened to collide with Shen Lang, and almost took off Shen Lang's unzipped coat.

The woman ran over more than ten meters and glanced back at Shen Lang. Shen Lang also just wanted to see what kind of person he collided with, the two sides glanced at each other, Shen Lang found that this woman was about thirty years old and extremely thin, but this woman's eyes were a little different from ordinary people, this woman's eyes gave people the feeling of both soul-dementoring and cunning, it should be that this woman broke free from the man's arms and ran over.

At this time, a man chased after him from behind, only five or six steps away from the woman, and the man who followed closely behind shouted: "Don't run, don't run, stop for Lao Tzu, watch Lao Tzu catch you back, there is good fruit for you to eat." "Chased after me.

Shen Lang couldn't let the man catch up with the woman, the man had already chased to his side, he didn't have time to think about it, he stretched out his right hand, pulled the man with his hand, and pulled the man away, no matter how hard the man tried, he couldn't break free.

The man's eyes were full of anger and glanced at Shen Lang, this look made people shudder, making Shen Lang not want to look at him for the second time. When the woman had run away, he let go of the man and said to him:

"As a big man, he has the ability to earn money, what kind of man is it to beat a woman?" The man didn't say anything, and walked away stupidly.

The crowd dispersed, and Shen Lang walked around Tianming Square in South China for a while, feeling hungry and looking for a place to eat.

As soon as I inquired, there is a famous restaurant outside Tianming Square in South China, called New Mandarin Duck Restaurant. He paced in, found a corner and sat down, ordered a mandarin duck hot pot, a few bottles of beer, and drank it to himself. After getting drunk and eating, he stood up to pay the bill, touched the pocket inside the coat lining, and strangely, there was no wallet.

When did he lose his wallet? He wondered who had the audacity to steal his wallet when he didn't have much money in his pocket.

But what can be done about it? Eat the overlord meal, right?

In the past, when he was purely a gangster, it didn't matter, he didn't eat the overlord meal, but now it is different from before, and now he has a little status in the rivers and lakes, and he is called the "Snow Mountain Lone Wolf", which is damaging his reputation and that of the Snow Mountain faction.

It's really a penny that rushed down the hero. It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money, so that such a face-bearing character can also feel red-faced, but what should I do? I really can't do it, I will use a short sword given to me by a friend in the rivers and lakes as collateral to see if it will work? No, let's talk about it. So, he shouted, "Boss, come here." ”

"Okay, here it is. The boss came over, Shen Lang took out his short sword, saying that he had no money and his wallet had been stolen, the boss tilted his head to look at him for a long time, and said with a look of complete disbelief in his eyes:

"Sir, don't be joking, my shop has little capital, and the profits are thin, and I won't rob the house, what are you doing with this short sword, don't make fun of me." ”

"Don't embarrass me like that, okay?"

"What? You don't pay for food, and you say that I embarrass you, who is embarrassed by whom? We'll find someone to judge. ”

"I didn't mean that. ”

"What does that mean? Eat overlord meal, huh? Then I'll call the police. ”

"If you dare to call the police, see if I dare to smash your restaurant one day. If you want to go on, I advise you not to call the police. Shen Lang was in a hurry, and took out a set of his gangster's way of life, and the two sides quarreled, after all, it was Shen Lang who was at fault, and he didn't take hasty measures. At this time, behind him, on a table, there was a well-dressed middle-aged *** who got up and said loudly:

"Boss, how much does this brother eat, I paid for it together, you go first, our dishes are not ready yet, you go and get busy." After speaking, he immediately called a man in his twenties sitting next to him to pay for Shen Lang's meal first.

At this time, Shen Lang remembered that the guests at this table had not yet arrived when he came in, and within two minutes of his arrival, the guests at this table had arrived.

The leader is a man about 30 years old, about 1.8 meters tall, inch head, but his hair color is not black, a little yellowish, wearing a brand-name jacket, a cigarette in his hand, and a fat figure.

Shen Lang saw that someone had relieved him, and he didn't know how to be grateful to others, so he walked over, clasped his fists with both hands, shook it deeply, and said with great gratitude:

"Thank you Brother Tai for breaking the siege, please ask the name of Gao, but if there is a sending, be a cow or a horse, you will be repaid. ”

Cuntou also stood up and returned the salute and said: "Brother Tai's words are serious, my surname is Jia, I am not disliked, I call Brother Jia, I have nothing to worry about." Would you like to come over and have another drink?"

Shen Lang got help from others just now, and he was embarrassed to refuse, and said:

"Thank you, Brother Jia, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, let you break the bank, okay. ”

"Please!"

"Please!"

Shen Lang and Jia sat at a table.

After going back for a long time, Shen Lang finally understood how he lost his wallet, that is, the two people quarreled and divorced, the woman deliberately broke free and ran away, and hit him, at this moment, the man chased after him again, Shen Lang focused on the man chasing behind, and the woman stole his wallet when she hit him.

In fact, Shen Lang didn't know that in this play, the director was Jia Quan, who helped him. Ever since he appeared in Jia Quan's sight, Jia Quan had been closely watching all of Shen Lang's whereabouts.

Shen Lang watched the excitement, his wallet was stolen, and his subordinates reported all this to Jia Quan, when Shen Lang walked into the restaurant, Jia Quan also entered the restaurant, and the boss inside was also the boss he used his own people to act as the boss after he used the money to take the real boss away, so all this was under Jia Quan's control, all this, Shen Lang didn't know. On the contrary, since then, Shen Lang and Jia have become friends.

Later, through further understanding, I learned that this Jia was Jia Quan.

Shen Lang felt that he owed Jia Quan a great favor, so he always wanted to repay him. When Qi Yiyan met Shen Lang, Shen Lang had frequent contact with Jia Quan, and when Jia Quan needed manpower for expansion, he helped Jia Quan do several things. In fact, they are thugs, but the difference is that the rest of the thugs have to wait for Jia Quan's dispatch at any time, while Shen Lang generally does not participate in Jia Quan's affairs, and he only makes a move when it is important.

In the past few years, Shen Lang has forcibly requisitioned land for Jia Quan, and has also collected bad debts for him, and has also helped Jia Quan release water, collect water money, fight in groups, and intimidate Jia Quan's competitors.

Especially now that true and false martial arts are everywhere, many people who have learned three moves and two styles, without a little kung fu, all rely on hiring others to act as martial artists and thugs, all of them are opening martial arts halls and recruiting students. What's more, the martial artist and the students work together to deceive the common people and the common people.

Some perform in crowded places, such as squares, stations, and docks, and the usual practice is to let their martial artists and students perform first, of course, there are many exaggerated and false elements in it.

For example, a person lies on the flat ground, puts a large stone on his chest, and the other person uses a sledgehammer to break the boulder, which is called "the sledgehammer chest breaks the stone", and then the second type, one person stands in place, and the other person points the tip of the spear at the front neck socket of the standing person, and he uses his stomach against the tail of the wooden handle of the spear, and the spear gradually bends up, but the tip of the spear cannot be inserted into the opponent's neck socket, and the name of this performance is "spear piercing throat".

Another example is the show "One Finger Zen Gong", they prepare their own bricks, and the bricks are made in advance with special materials, which are completely flawless, and ordinary bricks look exactly the same, but because of the special materials, even a three-year-old child can poke the bricks badly, not to mention adults. I saw these "strong martial artists", one finger drilled hard, the brick powder flew, and after a while, the brick was drilled by the performer's finger A hole, and any of the performer's fingers were unscathed;

Some of the methods used in this performance are different, some are to drill a hole with a real brick with an electric drill in advance, as thick as the index finger of the performer's right hand, and then plug the hole with other materials, the surface looks no different from a real brick, the performance only needs to drill the hole, poke it with your finger again, and the powdery material inside will fall off, which can completely deceive the eyes of ordinary people.

There are also performances of "qigong healing", let a few "patients" pass, "deep internal strength" martial arts masters stand a few meters away more than ten meters, even the wall, a gong, the patient's head or around the steam, after a few seconds, the "pain patient" will take the initiative to say that their pain has been reduced, the body has improved significantly.

Some "martial arts masters" can treat more than one "patient" at a time, and can treat more than a dozen "patients" at the same time.

There are even more powerful, directly using high-tech means, not only performing in crowded places, they feel that the influence of such performances is not big enough, and the recruited students are not enough, in order to expand their influence, they make a fuss on the Internet, use PS technology, use special effects lenses, and put fake pictures or animations and videos on the Internet, deceive more people, and let more people be deceived.

In this way, most of the people who run martial arts halls or open training classes have made a lot of money, and while accumulating wealth, it can be said that all of them are doing things that violate laws and disciplines.

Slowly, Shen Lang felt that this kind of life was not what he wanted, and it was against his original intention, not to mention that there were some innocent people who were also hurt by him, so Shen Lang wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin and didn't want to wade into this troubled water again.

This time, when he met Qi Yiyan in Tianming Square, it was Shen Lang who came out to find one or two thugs according to Jia Quan's request, looking for two candidates, Jia Quan also told Shen Lang that if there is a suitable person to replace him, then Shen Lang can leave, this is not to force Shen Lang, but Shen Lang is a righteous person, not to mention that Jia Quan is kind to him, and he feels that it is not a gentleman's act to leave.

Therefore, this time, there is also this intention. Shen Lang also felt that Jia Quan was becoming more and more wary of himself, and sometimes sent people to keep an eye on him in secret. He was even more unwilling to do things for Jia Quan, although the price offered to Shen Lang was very high. Shen Lang told Qi Yiyan all this, aside from all this, the income was still quite high, that is, he asked Qi Yiyan if he was willing to work under Jia Quan. Qi Yiyan was at home, his father's discipline had always been strict, and the family did not have to worry about food and clothing, so he declined Shen Lang's kindness.

Shen Lang also told Qi Yiyan that there was a bigger factor that contributed to his change and idea: he once helped Jia Quan do an event, which was half successful and half unsuccessful, and this incident also made him know another person, who made him understand a lot of things.

What did Shen Lang do for Jia Quan, and who did he know?
