One of the "Lushan Series" "Five Old Real People" is the seventh episode
There are many branches of the ancient Chinese nation, and the history and culture of each branch are even more brilliant and long-standing. In the far southwest, there was a small country called Nanzhao, which fought against the five dynasties and ten kingdoms that were dominant in the Central Plains at the same time. In the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom, on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau where the lava is meandering, there is a large snow-capped mountain with undulating mountains and mountains, which is known as the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The snow-capped mountains are covered in ice and unattainable. At the foot of the mountain is a vast plateau pasture, full of cattle and horses, and rivers flowing endlessly.
Above Mu Yuan, there was a handsome young man with a thin figure who was practicing swords. Although the young man was scrawny, he had strong muscles and bones, and anyone could tell that he was a practitioner at a glance. His appearance is like a boy and a girl, just like a scholar. But he has a dark complexion, and he does not lose his true colors as a man. He practiced his sword very seriously, without the slightest sloppiness. Its sword dance movements are slow and orderly, its footwork is quite strange, and its straightforward eyes reveal a mood of not being arrogant or impatient.
After a while, an old man with a white beard over his knees staggered on a white leopard. The old man looked at the young man happily and said, "Ah Xiao, your swordsmanship has grown again!" I saw that the young man suddenly looked at the point where the voice came out, and then he knew that the old man had come to his side. The young man looked at the old man stupidly, and said, "Ah, yes, why do I feel that my practice is not as easy as before?" The old man sighed and said, "Hey, you forgot to call me again!" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and immediately shouted: "Hello old man!" The old man jumped off the back of the snow leopard, walked to the young man, stretched out his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, and said: "Ah Xiao, if you want to learn martial arts well, you must first learn to be a human being; if you want to learn to be a human being, the courtesy of dealing with people is the most basic. You have forgotten my teachings to you at every turn, and that is really a disappointing of my cultivation of you for eighteen years!" The young man lowered his head heavily, lowered his neck to the bottom of his cervical vertebrae, looked at the ground with his eyes, and said, "Old man, I know that I am wrong. ”
The old man looked at the clouds in the sky, touched the old beard, looked at the young man and said very seriously: "Time is like water! In a blink of an eye, you are eighteen years old, and you have already reached adulthood. If you encounter a very strong opponent, you just have to fight with him, and when all his strength is exhausted, you can easily defeat the enemy. You have endured so many tests to hone your physical strength since you were a child, and I am afraid that there is no one in the world today who can 'never feel tired' except you. The young man asked puzzledly: "Grandpa, I understand and appreciate your good intentions in letting me exercise my physical strength. But why do you have to dance so slowly, isn't the faster it is, the more lethal it is?" the old man said angrily in a very sharp tenor: "What are you going to dance so fast? The faster the movement, the greater the physical exertion, the lower the adaptability, and the less free time there is to observe the flaws in the opponent's moves, what is the good." The fundamental key to short-lived swordsmanship is to be 'slow', counteracting the opponent's rapid combos with the movement of a sword, so that there is hope of winning. Well, don't say more, since you are already an adult, go down the mountain, go to find a new world suitable for your growth!" The young man asked, "Go down the mountain, why, old man, I don't want to leave you!" The old man raised his index finger and stretched it to his lips and said, "Shhh, shut up, don't say it, listen to me." I have raised you for eighteen years, completely to fulfill your biological father's last wish, and I have not invested the slightest affection in you, you don't have to be grateful to me, I have done all this as a task requirement. Today, I see that you have achieved great martial arts, and there is nothing worth my concern about anymore, and you can go down the mountain to find a way to live. In today's world, people like you are the easiest to get mixed up. Remember, do much good, and do not do evil. Also, under no circumstances should I mention anything that concerns me. Okay, without further ado, let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately jumped on the back of the snow leopard, and the snow leopard hunched him towards the depths of the snowy mountain. The young man shed tears of affection, immediately knelt on the grass, kept kowtowing in the direction of the old man's distance, and silently recited in his heart: "Old man, since you really want to drive me away, I don't know what to say, I only hope that God will bless you with good health and long life." ”
This savage young man who came out of the door of a hundred-year-old man and wore animal skin leaves was the Lu Yinxiao who the old beggar entrusted to the hundred-year-old man eighteen years ago.
A few months after descending the mountain, Lu Yinxiao traveled all the way to the Central Plains, where the political situation was still in a chaotic situation of national hegemony. As soon as he set foot in the Bashu area, where people in the rivers and lakes were active, he attracted countless eyes.
In a town near Mount Qingcheng, a group of frenzied, vicious, grinning gang thugs are chasing a young man with machetes who is running desperately, and the young man is too tired to hold on. Lu Yinxiao, who was standing on the side of the road, recalled his grandfather's teaching to him for many years - "Do more good deeds, helping others is the foundation of happiness!", and immediately decided to help this little brother in distress (looking at the person's appearance, it seems that he is a few years older than himself). So, I saw Lu Yinxiao pull out the rusty iron sword that had been used for many years, cross the street, look at the little brother who ran towards him and shout: "Hey, hide behind me, hurry!" The young man muttered in surprise: "Ahh Lu Yinxiao usually doesn't talk much, but at this moment, he still spewed out a sentence in a Han language in a very incoherent Nanzhao accent: "Uh, you guys, you guys, you can't bully people, otherwise I'll hurt you, lie on the ground and can't get up, do you hear?" The group of people became even more angry, and everyone shouted together: "His grandmother's, where did the wild boy come out of nowhere, and dare to stand in our way?" Since you are kind of nosy, then follow that bastard boy to see Lord Yama!" Lu Yinxiao found that these people were not afraid at all, and they were not frightened by his words, so he had to hold the hilt of the sword tightly and carefully perform the short-lived sword technique with ultra-slow and precise points.
Under the wielding of dozens or hundreds of people's machetes, Lu Yinxiao didn't know what kind of body movements he was using to wander around without being touched by anyone at all, and in a short period of time, he finished performing a short-lived swordsmanship without any superfluous movements, and every time the sword came out, a person fell, but not died, but was hit hard by the smooth iron of the wide part of the sword, and then he was so sore that he couldn't help and fell.
After dealing with the group of people, Lu Yinxiao leisurely stepped out of the crowd, walked in front of the young man, and said, "They will not be able to stand up for a while, you can run away boldly and confidently, go quickly!" The young man's eyes were full of admiration, and as soon as he spoke, he said: "Ouch, hey, this little brother, you are too powerful! I have never met, this first time I met you so generously for me, I really don't know what to say, oh heed my Engong, Engong, how can I repay you?" Lu Yinxiao's eyes blinked, and said, "Oh, that's the case, uh, there's no need to repay you!" By the way, what's your name, why are they chasing you?" The young man said, "Oh, my name is Ding Xigui, a local." My mother, she's a gambler, the kind of crazy gambler, she lost all her belongings, and she owes a lot of debts, and she can't pay it back in a short time. She said that the Bagua Sect's gang members were all very rich, so they simply came to steal him, so that they could make a fortune and pay off their debts. So, I stole their money and belongings, who knows...... You've seen it all. Oh, actually, I don't want to do this, it's all my mother's force!" Lu Yinxiao said: "You just did what your mother forced you?" stealing things is wrong, it seems that I saved you wrong, I don't care about you, I'm leaving." Ding Xigui greeted him with a smile: "Eh, Engong, don't go, go to my house for a meal, in fact, the situation is not what you think, hey, I have a hard time, hey, you have to let people make it clear, don't you?" Lu Yinxiao said: "Okay, I'll go to your house, you explain it to me." The two of them were on their way quickly.
When he arrived at Ding Xigui's house, he saw his gambling wife twisting the last basket of potatoes to the market to sell. Ding Xigui shouted: "Mom, we have a way to live, I brought back a living treasure, can play black market boxing, let's send it!" His mother responded happily: "Really, great, Agui, where did you find him?" Ding Xigui said shyly: "Oh, Mom, don't ask so much, hurry up and cook for others, people are still hungry!" Lu Yinxiao asked, "What does black market boxing mean, can I do that?" Ding Xigui said: "Oh, we have three major gangs here, and they are not good people in general. One is the well-known Bagua Sect Qingcheng rudder, the other is the local native-born hooligan ruffian concentration camp - Qingcheng faction, and the other is the Tianxiang Pavilion Qingcheng rudder. As long as you join any of them, and then challenge the other parties, as long as you win, the side you join will continue to provide you with silver taels, after you make a fortune, don't forget my brother and me!" Lu Yinxiao asked: "Is this a violation of the law or a violation of morality?" Ding Xigui said: "What is this! Eh, you have to be clear, they are all bad people, you help consume their vitality, that is, to eliminate harm for the people, but also to eradicate demons and evil for the righteous path of the rivers and lakes, this is a good thing, why not, right?" Lu Yinxiao was so dizzy that he nodded his head and said, "Oh, that's the case, then I'll go!"
