Chapter Seventy-Nine: Blessing and Misfortune

After Yu Sanqian let everyone into the store, he arranged for Fu Rong and others to eat. It's just that these forty or fifty people have been walking around the city for most of the day, and they have been shouting in front of the inn for a while, and they are already hungry and panicked. When he arrived at the store, he couldn't stop shouting and ordered Xiao Er to deliver food. Seeing such a situation, if you eat in the inn, I don't know when you have to wait. After a little thought, he led the five of them to Zuixiang Building. Several people hadn't eaten for most of the day, and as soon as the meal was served, it was snatched clean by five people.

Yu Sanqian saw that the five people were like this, and they sued again and again. At the beginning, he was worried that Kou Laodao was blind and it would be difficult to eat the dishes served, so he specially instructed Xiao Er to put the dishes as close to Kou Laodao as possible when he served them.

How do you know that this Kou Lao Dao has very good ears, even if everyone makes a little noise when they are eating, but Xiao Er puts down the dishes, and he can know the place immediately. In this way, the dishes he eats are not inferior to those of others.

Yu Sanqian was secretly surprised when he saw him show his hand. I thought to myself, could it be that this old man deliberately pretended to be blind, so that he could really see what was in front of him? But occasionally I saw him sandwiching pork bones and chicken heads, and side dishes, but the fat of the chicken thighs on the plate turned a blind eye. thought that he liked to eat these chewy things, but as soon as Kou Laodao entered his mouth, he threw the pork bone chicken head on the table.

At this time, Yu Sanqian knew that Kou Lao Dao was really blind, and he was not pretending. It's just that there are doubts in his heart, if he is really blind, he can distinguish the sound of Xiao Er's dishes hitting the table in the midst of these many sounds. This ear power, if it is not supported by deep internal force, may be difficult to do.

If this is the case, he was beaten by his own men a few days ago, why didn't he show any martial arts and let those people fight against him.

Then I thought about it, yes, he didn't have the money to settle the bill, and he consciously took care of the loss, so he was willing to be beaten by others. If you are yourself, I am afraid that you will not be able to measure it like him, and let others fight against each other. Thinking of this section, I can't help but have a little respect for Kou Laodao. picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "A few days ago, I didn't know that the old gentleman had some relationship with the Xie family, and he offended his predecessors, please forgive me!"

Kou Laodao didn't say those polite words, picked up the wine glass and bumped it with him, and drained all the wine in the glass. Yu Sanqian saw him pick up the wine glass and collide with what he was holding, and his wine glass happened to be half an inch shorter than his wine glass. With such an accurate head, it is difficult for Rao to be a clear-sighted person. Seeing that he drank the wine in one gulp, he only held the wine glass in the air in a daze, unable to speak.

I thought to myself, when I raised my glass, I didn't make a sound, but how did this old man know where his glass was?

Fu Rong saw him standing on the spot, so he said: "Brother Kou has been blind for nearly 20 years, and it has become a habit to replace eyes with ears, so Brother Yu doesn't need to be so surprised. Although Yu Sanqian listened to Fu Rong's explanation, he didn't believe that his ear power could be so good.

He laughed twice and drank the glass of wine. When I put down my glass, I suddenly felt that there was wind in my sleeve. Only then did he realize that when he was going to drink with him, he must have heard his own wind, so that he could tell the direction. In this way, it is not difficult to meditate on your own.

It's just that he found the location of his wine glass so accurately, and this ear power is really difficult to practice without three or five years. He saw that Kou Lao Dao's ear power was so good, and he wanted to try him again. chatted with Fu Rong and others for a while, and found an excuse to drink with Kou Laodao.

With the lesson of the previous time, this time he only raised his glass slowly, and did not make any noise. In this way, no matter how good Kou Laodao's ear power is, if there is no sound, it will be difficult for him to identify the direction of the wine glass.

Seeing that he intended to teach himself, Kou Laodao groaned a little and asked Xie Yingxue an inconsequential word. Xie Yingxue didn't know what he meant, so she replied casually.

Immediately Kou Laodao asked Fu Rong again, and Fu Rong knew what he meant, so he answered briefly. Kou Laodao listened to the two of them's answers, raised his wine glass and slammed it into Yu Sanqian's cup. I only heard a dingdong sound, and it was Kou Laodao's wine glass and Yu Sanqian colliding in one place.

Yu Sanqian saw that Kou Lao Dao was still drinking immediately after hitting it, without the slightest intention of procrastinating. There was a surprise in his heart, how did this Kou Lao Dao know where his wine glass was? Could it be that he had already cultivated the supreme divine skill and could perceive everything around him?

In fact, Kou Laodao's collision is also a little tricky, not that he has practiced any magic skills, and he can know everything around him with his senses. The six of them sat around a table, Fu Rong was on the right side of Kou Lao Road, and Xie Yingxue was on his left. When the two of them were talking, some sounds were blocked back by Yu Sanqian's arm, which was just difficult to distinguish in the ears of ordinary people.

But Kou Laodao has been blind for nearly 20 years, and he is naturally different from ordinary people to the changes in the sounds around him. Kou Lao Dao has lived on the high mountain for more than ten years, and has been blown by wind and frost all year round, and has his own set of methods in the valley echo. At this time, although this sound was very small, it could not escape Kou Laodao's ears.

Yu Sanqian didn't know the reason, and when he saw that Kou Lao Dao showed his hand, he no longer dared to be tempted. He bowed respectfully and said, "I don't know that the old gentleman has such ability, so he is tempted and presumptuous, please forgive me." ”

Kou Lao Dao is easy-going, and he has been depressed in his heart because of the incident of Chunxiang Pavilion in the past few days. At this time, Yu Sanqian praised himself, and said with a smile: "Where is it, if it weren't for the loss of this blindness, how could my ears be so bright?"

There is also some truth in what he said, the so-called giving is gained, if he hadn't been blind first, how could his ear power be practiced to such a state today. Thinking that everything in this world has cause and effect, I lost my eyes in exchange for a pair of deaf ears.

It's just that people in the world may not have such thoughts, and they don't need a pair of good eyes, so why should they use their ears to listen? If Kou Laodao is not blind at this time, he only needs to take a glance to know where Yu Sanqian wine glass is. Why bother so much to find out where the glass is?

Despite this, Yu Sanqian is still extremely admired. During the banquet, I frequently drank with Kou Laodao, and listened to him say some allusions in "Huainanzi", and felt that Kou Laodao was broad-minded, which was really unattainable for ordinary people.

And Lingyun Qifeng and the two listened to Kou Laodao say "Saiong Lost Horse", and saw that Kou Laodao lost his eyes and got a pair of wise ears, and he felt that the world was impermanent, and it was a bad thing for others to see it, isn't it a good thing for himself?

Thinking of Kou Laodao's lustful nature, if he is not blind, with his lustful nature, I don't know how many things will cause again. In this way, he lost his sight, which was a good thing for him.

It's just that I thought that a good pair of eyes would be ruined, and I still felt a pity in my heart. If you were to be yourself, I am afraid that you would already be extremely negative, so how could you practice this method of listening to the wind and distinguishing sounds? Yes, the key to some things is not the thing itself, but whether the person who looks at it can treat the bad thing as a good thing.

Thinking of this verse, everyone feels that the deep meaning is really difficult to understand. After all, Kou Laodao is blind, and if he keeps discussing this matter, he will be a little ridiculous. It was because everyone diverted the topic and talked about other allusions in "Huainanzi", and when they got to the third more ten, they were quite tired, so they left the table and went back to the inn.
