Lin Jianlan glanced at Qin Tianxiong, and saw that his self-righteous beard was all open, although he respected him very much in his heart, he still sighed secretly: "Uncle Qin has been outstanding in 'martial arts' all his life. Seeing that he was always staring at him, he had no choice but to say: "Grandpa Cheng, if I cultivate both internally and externally now, how likely is it that I will be better than Yin Yin in a few years?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Lin Jianlan said again: "If I only cultivate external skills and blades now, what is the chance of winning?" Alas, Grandpa Cheng, I know that you are for my good, and I hope that I will have a skill to defend myself, and I can also avoid killing people in the future." ”

Doctor Cheng said: "I don't know how many times I've told you these words. It's a pity that even if you can practice internal strength now, I'm afraid it's too late, not to mention that you haven't worked hard yet, what nonsense are you talking about this morning?"

Lin Jianlan had no choice but to look at the drifting snow outside the door and replied, "I just watched the snow in the sky and asked Uncle Qin how he felt about the snowflakes in the sky." ”

Qin Tianxiong said: "In my heart, I wanted to use this snowflake to persuade the little boy, so I said: 'This snowflake is like a weak person in the rivers and lakes, it is not immune to the cold wind in the air and cannot stabilize its body, but it will melt when it falls to the ground, which is the most important thing. I didn't expect the little boy to understand when he heard it, and he said something nonsense there, but I don't remember. ”

Everyone in the room bowed slightly, and said in their hearts that although Qin Tianxiong was a rough person, what he said made a lot of sense, Fang Zheng said: "What Qin Protector said is very reasonable, why don't you listen to Lan'er?"

Lin Jianlan slowly withdrew his gaze from the door and said, "I don't think so. Relying on the clouds to rise and fall, drifting from the wind, the value of things is endowed with images, and the shape of the ground is exactly what it means to be martial arts. ”

Doctor Cheng was slightly unhappy and said, "You are young, you have only studied for half a year, what martial arts do you know?"

Lin Jianlan sighed like an adult, and said with a straight face: "How did Grandpa Cheng forget what he said before?" Lan'er has always kept this sentence in her heart, and she thinks it is true, Lan'er thinks that if you uncles continue to teach, I am afraid that I will never be able to touch the peak of martial arts. The more you pay attention to the rules and regulations of the moves, the farther and farther away from the martial arts, at most you can only be 'good at martial arts', let alone 'enlightenment'. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, Doctor Cheng felt unhappy in his heart, the green tendons at his temples jumped a few times, and said: "Arrogant boy, the gang members of the Kuangyi Gang have always practiced hard to become famous, and there are many outstanding figures in the martial arts, how dare you talk about martial arts?"

Zhang Protector also said with a look of disappointment on his face: "If you continue to be obsessed like this, I don't think it will be better than Yin Yin, even if it is difficult to save your life!" It seems that what your Uncle Qin said is right, and there is no need to teach you, just save your life when the time comes!"

When Lin Jianlan heard Dr. Cheng's words, he said with a gloomy heart: "I originally hoped to explain that Grandpa Cheng may have praised Uncle Qing's statement, but they took this as my arrogant words." But he was very stubborn, and he was not convinced in his heart: "I prefer to save my own life, not to bother you, not only to live well, but also to be better than Yin Yin to show you." But he only said this in his heart, just because he had understood: "I used to think that they were good to themselves as grandfathers, so they could say anything, but now it seems that it is not, some things can be said, and some can't." He said in his heart: "Grandpa Cheng fought for his aunt, and finally he could teach me, so he naturally wanted me to learn martial arts obediently, after all, they still have good intentions towards me, and if they get angry and ignore me again, then who can I rely on here?"

Thinking of this, he was a little scared in his heart after all, bowed deeply to everyone, and said sincerely: "Lan'er really knows that he is wrong, he must humbly ask for advice in the future, and he will not dare to make his uncles and Grandpa Cheng angry, you must forgive me." After that, his voice trembled slightly.

Everyone saw Lin Jianlan apologizing before, they all looked smiling, not very sincere, but today they saw that he was sincerely repentant, and his voice trembled with fright, obviously he was really afraid that he would be angry, and his face suddenly softened, and said: "I see that you really know that you are wrong, remember not to do this in the future." "You're going to have to take in your impetuous and arrogant nature. Lin Jianlan agreed one by one, but Qin Protector and the others didn't know that at that moment just now, Lin Jianlan had already turned several thoughts in his mind, and they all dispersed with satisfaction.

Seeing Doctor Cheng and them leaving, Lin Jianlan breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling that it was too tiring to promise hypocritically, but if he persevered, he was afraid that he would stiffen and cold Grandpa Cheng's heart, and secretly made up his mind in his heart: "Although I still learn martial arts, if I have an idea, don't say it to my face, and write it down and think about it slowly after I return to the house." Thinking of this, he ran to the bookcase, rummaged through and found a stack of papers in one place, but stayed there again, and asked himself blankly: "Can you win against Yin Yin?" Alas, I don't think so. Suddenly a little deflated, he still took a book left by Lin Longqing, and walked into the inner room while looking at the gesture.

But I heard Cao Quan outside shouting hurriedly: "Little boy, little boy!" Lin Jianlan has been very familiar with them for more than half a year, and put down the book and ran out: "Alas, Second Brother Cao, I didn't see that I was trained for a long time, and I was just clean for a while, what happened?" Cao Quan grinned and said: "Someone came to see you, saying that you must be happy when you hear it." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Who, except for Uncle Qing, I don't know anyone, who else will come to see me?"

Cao Quan saw that he was puzzled, and said, "Could it be that he said something wrong? In this case, I replied to the master of the Yue hall that the little prince didn't remember." ”

When Lin Jianlan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Hall Master Yue, but Hall Master Yue of the Jiangning Branch?"

Cao Quandao: "It is the Yue Lingfeng Yue Hall Master from the Jiangning Branch. ”

Lin Jianlan cheered when he heard this: "It's really Brother Yue!" ran straight out, leaving Cao Quan behind and wondering: "Yue ...... Big brother, and the branch hall master of our gang are also called brothers...... This little boy is really capable. ”

Lin Jianlan was already very familiar with the path in the main hall, trotted all the way, and ran to the door of Kuangyi Hall after a short time, Wu Zi was still out of breath, looking in, there was no one in the lobby, and there was a faint voice on the second floor, presumably discussing matters in the gang, Lin Jianlan walked to the couplet, looked up carefully, and walked far to the door, looking up and down, and his hand was still following the strokes in the air. But when he heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs, he turned his head to look and saw Yue Lingfeng wearing a bamboo-blue robe, holding a long sword, and walking downstairs step by step, Lin Jianlan greeted him happily and said, "Brother Yue!"

Yue Lingfeng said: "You have leisure and leisure, write in the air here." ”

Lin Jianlan blushed slightly and said: "Uncle Qing's writing is really wonderful, the pen is strong and powerful, and it seems that there is a sound of gold and iron in my ears when I see it, but I can't describe it." ”

Yue Lingfeng smiled: "You are also an idiot, if you see the original of this couplet, you will probably be even more amazed!"

Lin Jianlan said curiously: "Why wasn't this word originally written by Uncle Qing?" Alas, I thought this word was already very good!"

Yue Lingfeng said: "Your comment was not bad, and now the pair of children hanging has a killing atmosphere at a glance, the pen is sharp, although the original pair of words is better, but it is not suitable, I have seen it a few times, the word is ethereal, hidden and not exposed, slightly born, so your father-in-law wrote a pair of his own and replaced it." Lin Jianlan said enviously: "When Uncle Qing comes to me, I will definitely ask him to show me that one." ”

Yue Lingfeng saw his innocent tone, and sighed in his heart: "I don't know when the helper will return, we naturally hope that the helper has nothing to do with that matter and comes back as soon as possible, so as not to let us and others fall into the dilemma of kindness and righteousness, and only suffer Brother Lin." But he said: "That's nature, remember to tell Brother Yue to come and watch it when the time comes." ”

The two talked and laughed, and when they didn't realize that they were about to arrive at the water pavilion, Yue Lingfeng said: "I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring you a few books to relieve your boredom." Lin Jianlan said in his heart: "Brother Yue loves books, so I feel that if others don't have books to read, they must be boring and unbearable all day long." Then he replied: "It's okay to have Brother Yue's thoughts, in fact, Lan'er hasn't felt bored for so long, I live in the place where Uncle Qing used to live, and Uncle Qing has left a lot of books, which I often read." ”

Yue Lingfeng stroked his palms and said happily: "It turns out that you live in the helper's place, then you are really destined, those few boxing books and swordsmanship in your father-in-law's house look broken, but they are all treasures!" Lin Jianlan exclaimed: "Does Brother Yue know?" Yue Lingfeng nodded and said: " Because the Jiangning branch hall is not far from the main hall, it is also a peripheral barrier of the main hall, so I often come to discuss important matters, and occasionally come here to sit, the helper is not an ordinary person, and he often has a comprehension of martial arts, so he records it on it, but it is placed everywhere, and he does not avoid people, I have read these books. ”

Lin Jianlan nodded, pushed the door open, let Yue Lingfeng into the house and said, "Yes, Uncle Qing is really amazing." Often, I couldn't figure out a move at first, and then it often took me the whole night to realize how wonderful it was. Yue Lingfeng said: "It's already quite good to figure out a move all night, it seems that you are also a good seedling to learn martial arts, with the doctors they taught you, you should be regarded as a first glimpse of the way now, right?" ”

Yue Lingfeng pondered: "Aren't you telling them that these are pearls secretly casting, Qin and Zhang, the two Dharma protectors, don't like this kind of crepe thing the most, at the age of Doctor Cheng, how can you allow you, a young man who is just learning martial arts, to point fingers at him? You can see the experience left by the helper, it is really a great fortune, but it is a great misfortune for those who learn martial arts to not be able to practice internal strength, there should be a way out for you to help you find a way out, but there is a saying that Doctor Cheng is right, you can't practice internal strength, you must not tell others again, you know?"

Lin Jianlan nodded and said, "Brother Yue doesn't have to worry about me, hey, when you come here, I only care about myself and spit out my bitterness to you, which is very undeserving." Is Brother Yue coming to the main hall on official business?"

Yue Lingfeng's expression was solemn, and he said: "Yes, the matter is more urgent, so I came here in person, our two branch halls close to Chang'an came with news half a month ago that they were exterminated by the Eastern Capital Imperial Kou Division, and the whereabouts of the two hall masters are unknown." Lin Jianlan said: "The Eastern Capital Imperial Kou Division, what is that?" Yue Lingfeng said: "The Eastern Imperial Imperial Kou Division is an institution on the side of the imperial court, which is full of some masters of the inner court, and also attracts a group of people who are willing to take refuge in the imperial court...... By the way, you know the three closest branches to the main hall, right?"

Lin Jianlan said: "I know, I have seen their branch hall masters here, it is Taizhou Branch, Huangshan Branch, and Jiangning Branch where Brother Yue is here. ”

Yue Lingfeng bowed his head and said: "Well, these three branch halls were set up by the help master himself, and the hall master was also personally selected and appointed by him, which is the closest to the main hall and is surrounded on three sides, so if there is any wind and grass, our three branch halls will definitely know in advance, and give timely warning to the main hall, and we will take precautions and deploy here." After saying that, he smiled and said to Lin Jianlan: "This is naturally also your father-in-law's intention." ”

Lin Jianlan said with his hand: "I know this, since the Kuangyi Gang is the largest gang, it will naturally attract people's eyes, and it is necessary to guard against other gangs and maintain their prestige, and the effort spent will not be less than when the gang was established, just like it is as difficult as fighting the world and ruling the world." ”

Yue Lingfeng said with a smile: "We don't have such big ambitions, what is not the world, this is a bit too much, just like the pair written by the helper, but it is just a plan to support justice and happiness and revenge." As soon as the words fell, his expression became solemn and said: "But what you said is right, the current situation of the Kuangyi Gang, not only the other gangs in the rivers and lakes are red, but even the imperial court is eyeing us." This time, our Jiangning branch was the first to notice, many masters of the Eastern Capital Imperial Kou Division were active in the Jiangnan area, and a small number of troops were stationed in the surrounding towns, and I was afraid that there was a mistake in the investigation, so I specially asked people to contact Taizhou and Huangshan Ertang, and it turned out that they were the same. ”

Lin Jianlan exclaimed: "Could it be that the government will come to fight here?"

Yue Lingfeng shook his head and said, "I discussed with Mrs. Cao, Doctor Cheng and others just now, and it may not be for our Kuangyi Gang. The three of us are surrounded by the main hall, but we just happened to enclose one place, and that place is not very peaceful. ”

Lin Jianlan's eyes glared at the boss and asked, "Where is it?"

Yue Lingfeng said: "Taihu Lake!"

Lin Jianlan said: "I haven't heard of it, is there a more powerful gang than the Kuangyi Gang?"

Yue Lingfeng said: "No, Taihu Lake is just ordinary people. But he sighed a long time, and then said: "Our place in the south of the Yangtze River, there is silk, rice, paper and ink, and tea are also well-known, but since the abuse of power after the war, the richer the place, the more unlucky, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes continue, and they are oppressed, and there are also those relatives of the emperor and the people, Taihu Lake is a rich and peaceful land of fish and rice, and now more than half of the people are displaced. ”
