Chapter 13: Creation and Misfortune [3]
Yi Hui heard something in the strange boss's words, and couldn't help but reply first:
"This is all the old yellow calendar, who doesn't know. To put it simply, it is nothing more than that some people ridicule the frogs at the bottom of the well for not knowing the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and not knowing the size of the rivers. But what does this have to do with the 'frog at the bottom of the well'?"
"For that alone, my old man should reward you with this doll. The strange old man nodded yes.
"In my opinion, it may not be," although Zhong Ming didn't want to offend Yi Hui, but when he thought of the scene where Zhou Lao Er was desperately trying to pass on his skills, he was angry at the mockery of the strange boss, so he couldn't help but retort: "The frog at the bottom of the well has its own sense of security as the frog at the bottom of the well, and what can the beauty and size of the mountains and rivers be, and it will never add half a sense of security to the frog!"
"Boy...... A person's safety does not depend on the gifts of the outside world, but on his own strength! It is true that a person has no ambition, but if he wants to break through the rivers and lakes, it is absolutely impossible to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and although he cannot demand that he is invincible in the world, he must at least be able to protect himself. Otherwise, you can simply hide at the bottom of the well and beg for a living. The strange boss said indignantly.
"White-bearded old man, don't you go off the question first, you haven't given me a reward yet?" Yi Hui was afraid that Zhong Ming would ruin the opportunity in front of him, so he hurriedly interjected.
"Did my old man say he was going to reward you?" asked the strange boss, scratching his head, looking at the sky.
"Will you also repay the debt?" Yi Hui pressed forward step by step, not giving the other party a chance to breathe.
"Oh...... When I think about it, it's all to blame on this kid, who just made my old man confused. "I didn't expect the strange boss to move the acupoint transposition of the Yunnan double beast is not worth a sigh, and after a light "hum", he said: "Moving the acupoint is not no acupoint, after moving the acupoint, the original acupoint is moved out at most an inch, if the opponent's impact surface exceeds this number, your kid is not in vain!"
Although Zhong Ming thought that he was reasonable, but he refused to give up such an exercise in vain, after all, this exercise was passed on to him by Zhou Lao Er with the last bit of strength in his life, although it was not the best, but it had a special commemorative significance for him. However, Yi Hui didn't think so, she hurriedly lost no time in asking:
"Is there a better way to do it in the world?"
The strange boss grinned and said:
"I knew that you girl doll was very smart, and no one would allow anyone to show the slightest hint. I will reward you when I promise to reward you, and I will reward you, and I will never talk empty words, and I will not ask your juniors to laugh at me behind my back. Today, I will simply pass on the acupuncture method to you, so that you will not be arrested again in the future, and my old man will be lonely. ”
After that, the closing acupoint mantra was immediately passed on to the two of them. The method of moving the acupoints and transposing the two beasts in Yunnan seems to be unfathomable, and it is nothing compared with the big / method of closing the acupoints passed on to the two by the strange boss. Zhong Ming couldn't help but slap himself with joy, which made Yi Hui very surprised, only the strange boss has read countless people, and the world is clear, and he has already seen through his heart, so he just laughed.
It turned out that Zhong Ming thought of Zhou Lao Er at this time, and thought that he couldn't help but be a little affectionate when he abandoned his exercises, but he was unwilling to give up the more intelligent exercises of the blame boss, and when he was entangled, he had to slap himself as a punishment for his own power. After seeing the strange boss smile slightly, Zhong Ming's face couldn't help but feel hot, knowing that he had been seen through the heavens, and his expression was even more embarrassed.
In order to thank the strange boss and get rid of the embarrassment in front of him, Zhong Ming decided to take out the snake bead he was carrying and give it to the strange boss as compensation. And said:
"For the kindness of the seniors, the younger generations can't repay it, so give this evil and poisonous snake bead to your old man. ”
When the strange boss saw the thing in Zhong Ming's hand, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and his whole body was violently shaken, and his hands disappeared as if he was about to snatch it. As if in order to resist/control the temptation in front of him, he just looked at it against his heart and shook his head and excused:
"I haven't seen anything good in my old man's house, how can I just ask for a gift from your little doll. ”
"This thing is very comparable, and it is the best at detoxification, so it's better for your old man to take a look at it first. Zhong Ming still insisted.
The strange boss pretended to be a little helpless, but after taking it, he couldn't help but love it, cherished it very much, repeatedly inspected it for a while and sniffed it under his nose, and after asking the source, he couldn't help but confide in his heart, and said:
"You kid really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and you actually give such a precious treasure in this world to others in a word, don't you know that this is a treasure of the world, to avoid adultery and evil, to cure all kinds of poisons, with it in the body of a hundred poisons will not invade, my old man will live for another hundred years is no problem! I have been looking for it for almost a century, how can it be in the hands of your stupid boy today?"
As everyone knows, it is becoming more and more difficult to support the strange illness on the boss's body, and his most important purpose when he is wandering around is to secretly find a treasure that can cure all kinds of poisons to resist the disease-causing poison in his body. He knew what he was looking for, but not for, it was all a matter of luck.
I didn't expect this thing to be broken through the iron shoes now, and it took no effort to get it. Now that the treasure was in front of him, how could he not be secretly excited. Zhong Ming saw that the strange boss rarely had something he liked, so he re-explained the acquaintance with Zhou Lao Er in the cave to the two of them carefully. The strange boss actually loved this thing even more, and said:
"This is all fate, I am ashamed that your kid is kind-hearted and treats people with a pure affection, and it coincides with the death of the Zhou brothers. With this thing in my body, when my old man retreats and cultivates in the future, all poisons will not invade, and you kid has done me a great favor. When the strange boss said this, he scratched his head again, and then said:
"But now I'm embarrassed to accept your baby for nothing, and I always have the feeling of deceiving other children's children in my heart...... I want to give you back...... But nothing is as expensive as it. This favor is too great, I'd better just give it back to you. ”
Zhong Ming shook his head again and again, insisted on refusing to take it back, and said:
"A manly man is full of his word, how can there be a reason to take back what he says!"
Yi Hui saw that the boss regarded this thing as a priceless treasure, and it was rare to see his old man tempted, and he saw Zhong Ming's words and had a letter, and insisted on refusing to take it back. After a little hesitation, I couldn't help but persuade from the side:
"Since Zhong Ming sincerely respects your old man, your old man will simply accept it. I haven't heard people say: 'Pink is given to a beautiful woman, and a sword is given to a hero', if it is sent to the wrong person, no matter how precious it is, it may be counterproductive. Besides, the ancients also said: It is better to obey your fate than to be respectful!"
"You little Nizi know a little too much...... Still, my old man likes your words. ”
"If you really don't want to go," Yi Hui smiled, and then said casually: "Although you can't have the fate of master and apprentice, it's always okay to guide the younger generation with a little effort, as long as our kung fu grows, won't this affection be naturally offset." ”
The strange boss hesitated for a moment, then looked at the snake bead in his hand, and his expression was obviously inseparable, and finally he simply put it into his arms and said:
"The female doll is right, with the martial arts of the two of you, not to mention keeping this thing from being taken away, even if you want to save your life, it's a problem. From today onwards, my old man will begin to formally instruct the two of you in martial arts, but you don't want any master-apprentice status. What do you two think of that?"
The two were overjoyed, from blaming the boss for not allowing them to mention martial arts in person, to now agreeing to give advice, which can be regarded as a great change. The two hurriedly knelt down and thanked them. In this way, the three of them were not in a hurry along the way, and enjoyed themselves, once they encountered a place with beautiful mountains and rivers on the way, the strange boss simply lived here for a while.
On the way, when Zhong Ming mentioned that in order to rescue Yi Hui that day, he had named the martial arts passed on by the strange boss to the two of them as "Heaven and Earth Supreme Demon Palm", the strange boss appreciated this very much, and finalized that the two of them would use this name to call this exercise in the future. He will explain the details of the exercises in detail later.
After a period of contact, the two learned that the strange boss was not only unfathomable in martial arts, but also well-read and knowledgeable. He also has a unique vision and taste for sightseeing. On the way, he felt very sorry for Zhong Ming's ignorance of the beautiful scenery in front of him, and while teaching the two of them this way of taste, he ridiculed Zhong Ming and said:
"A person looking at the mountain scenery should know the 'three colors', 'one high', 'three far', just like watching a landscape painting, the lofty should be able to see the 'clear', the far-reaching should see its 'fine', and the flat distance can get its 'rushing'. Only by tasting everywhere can you appreciate the wonder of this natural heaven and earth, and fully enjoy the gift of this mountain and river. How can there be such a muddled and nightmare like you, looking at the flowers, isn't it like a cow chewing peonies, destroying the heavens. ”
Helplessly, Zhong Ming has been too lazy to read since he was a child, and the teaching of the teacher hired in the villa is limited, and he practiced martial arts with the three strange brothers after going up the mountain. At this time, the ridicule of the strange boss is just a smirk. Only Yi Hui resonated with the strange boss's words, and asked the strange boss seriously:
"In the past, when painting in his spare time, the master once said that the landscapes he painted: 'The mountain wants to be high, but it is not high, and the smoke and mist lock its waist, and it is high.' If the water is far away, it will not be far away, and if it is distorted, it will be far away. "Today, I heard your old man say that there are 'three colors' in the mountains, please give me advice?"
The strange boss was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that he had met a bosom friend, and it would be more interesting for him to talk about these things to people than to talk about those martial arts, so he explained in detail:
"Looking at the mountains is like painting, and there is a difference in the place where you land. When looking up, you must show that you are 'lofty', when you look back from the front of the mountain, you must show 'far-reaching', and when you look at a nearby mountain, you must be said to be 'flat'. The color of the lofty is clear, the color of the far-reaching is obscure, and the color of the flat is bright and dark. If you can't tell the details, you can go out for a trip in vain. ”
"I didn't expect your old man to watch the mountains like tasting tea, and there are so many exquisitenesses in it, which is really beyond the reach of the younger generations. Yi Hui couldn't help but praise from the bottom of her heart: "The younger generation has been taught by the master, and has also read a lot of books, the so-called in the poem of Su Dongpo, a scholar of the Song Dynasty: 'Looking horizontally at the side of the ridge into a peak, the distance and the height are different', it can be said that the mountain has been wonderful!"
"I didn't expect your girl to know a lot, if you can live to my age, wouldn't you become a human spirit!"
"Your old man has lived for such an age, and I don't know how to comment on your past?" Yi Hui suddenly became interested in the past of the strange boss, and couldn't help but ask casually.
"If you want to elaborate, it is difficult to finish ten days and half a month, and if you want to briefly describe it, you can cover it up in one word. To borrow the words of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, it is 'those who abandon me will not stay yesterday, and those who disturb my heart will be troubled today'. Although these two sentences are not exactly what I want, they are very inspiring to me. I try to forget the past as much as possible, and try not to be disturbed by the troubles of today, which is also the reason why my old people like to be with you and other children. ”
Zhong Ming on the side privately disagreed with what the two said, and couldn't help but secretly say:
"It takes so much work to visit a mountain view, and it takes so much tossing and turning from far and near, which is really difficult for a tourist. I don't know what they will get out of it, and I am afraid that even their own stomachs will not be able to stand it at that time, so where will they get food and drink...... It's not going to be pie in the sky, it's just inexplicable?"
The three of them walked all the way like this, talking and laughing on the way, but it was not lonely. After the three of them traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, it was three years later. In the past three years, in order to thank Zhong Ming for giving pearls, the strange boss taught the two juniors all his money, and taught different martial arts according to their respective martial arts foundations. Zhong Ming and Yi Hui's martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds.
In order to make up for the difference between Yi Hui's internal strength and Zhong Ming, the old man went to the wilderness of Yunnan to find the kind of strange snake that the Yunnan Twin Beasts talked about, and even did not hesitate to give Yi Hui guidance with the empowerment of the Great Method. In order to break up, the "Heaven and Earth Supreme Descending Clutches" of the two can be played freely and no longer be bullied by others.
Whenever he caught this kind of strange snake, the strange boss forced Yi Hui to swallow his snake gall bladder and snake eggs together, and over time, Yi Hui's internal strength really progressed rapidly. Although it is not as strong as Zhong Ming's internal strength, it can also cooperate with Zhong Ming to exert a little power of the "Heaven and Earth Supreme Demon Palm", and the strange boss is not satisfied after seeing it, but he just shook his head helplessly.
And explained to this: This Heaven and Earth Supreme Demon Clutch is divided into nine levels, mainly for retreat cultivation, and you two are only just entering the door now, at most in the second level. When the practice reaches the ninth level, the two of them can do whatever they want when they join forces, and they are no longer bound by the connection of their palms, so as to achieve free play, which is the most powerful at this time.
After the three of them lived on an unknown mountain for half a month, on this morning, when Yi Hui and Zhong Ming came back from going out to practice swords, they couldn't find the strange boss. I saw a note left on the stone table in the hut, which read:
"Your fate with me has ended here, the most experienced person in martial arts today is no longer my old man, quitting killing and Mo Xie out of their respective habits, has long been out of the blue and better than the blue. If you want to learn advanced martial arts, you must get their guidance. Now that I have chosen a new retreat place, I will say goodbye. "Signed: Blame Boss.
The two were relatively speechless for a while, and their mood was very confused, and when they were helpless, Yi Hui suddenly remembered her master at this time, and she should give her old man an explanation after being separated for so long. Therefore, Zhong Ming was persuaded to go to Sanshan Island in the East China Sea to find his grandmother. Zhong Ming remembered the short days he spent with his grandmother when he was a child, and his longing came spontaneously.
Zhong Ming thought to himself that he had been separated from his grandmother for nearly four years, and his grandmother didn't know what it had become now, so he couldn't wait to fly to his grandmother immediately. So after the two went down the mountain, they found their way to the north and went straight to the seaside of Shandong, although the two of them did not know the location of Sanshan Island, but they were confident that they could know it by asking about it at the beach.
On the way, the two followed the old practice of the strange boss's source of survival, and once they lacked money, they went to the nearby government office to steal it. The strange boss once defended himself to the two of them for this:
"My old man has gone through two dynasties, and he can be said to be well-informed. No matter which dynasty the officials are, nine out of ten officials are corrupt officials, and there are very few so-called honest officials. I don't care if I say how the court will deal with these corrupt officials, it is understandable to grab a handful of wool from them. ”
On this day, when the two came to the ground in Xuzhou, the silver on their bodies had almost been spent, in order to make up enough travel expenses, the two chose the address during the day, and changed into night clothes and black gauze masks in the middle of the night, and rushed to the backyard of the Xuzhou prefect. When the two of them just jumped on the roof, they suddenly found that there were many guards on duty in the backyard of the prefect's mansion in the dark night.
Zhong Ming disagreed, and whispered to Yi Hui:
"With your current skills, let's go down and get the silver in our hands, just like going to the vegetable market to get some greens, and I don't think these wine bags and rice bags will help you and me. ”
Yi Hui objected:
"Today's situation seems to be a bit exceptional, you and I should be careful in everything, for now, it is better to find out why there is such a situation inside and outside the hospital, and then say, the scale of protection here seems to exceed the level scale of the prefect. ”
While the two were discussing, they suddenly noticed a figure flashing on the ridge of the roof next to them......
