Chapter 6 Silver Droplets
Red Leaf Casino sent out tattooed silver, Li Wumang and Yi Fu'an, each of whom received one or two. It seems to have made a windfall from heaven. Giggling and leaving the casino to buy fruit on the street.
The shopkeeper of the gambling house called his hand to ask about the situation at that time, and the dealer who gambled without profit could not tell clearly.
The bearded man said: "The old shopkeeper once told me that one day thirty years ago, this water drop appeared in the gambling house, and it stayed in that place at that time, and the old shopkeeper saw that this thing was rare, and he set up a gambling game without profit and profit, and won countless silver for the gambling house, until today." β
The bearded man sighed, and said: "This thing is supernatural, it should have been taken away by a guest who has never been to the Red Leaf Gambling House, and there are only more than 20 guests on the hundred and tenth today, it is not difficult to figure out who did it, but I think this person must not be an idle person, he did not say it clearly, so don't guess, so as not to get into trouble." β
Call a cronie and inform Fuguangzhai of the fraudsters, including the loss of the drop of water
Fuguang Village is a big cottage with 500 bandits, and the recent rise of bandits, the cottage has a foundation of several decades, and the work is also done according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. When the government suppressed the bandits, the bandits dispersed into small groups and hid when they got the news, so as not to clash head-on with the officers and soldiers. Several times of bandit suppression have not shaken the foundation of Fuguang Village.
Fuguang Village has been the master of the second village for decades, and no one has heard of a big master. In recent years, bandits have been rampant, Hongye Town is only more than ten miles away from Fuguang Village, the cottage has eyeliner in the town, and many businesses in the town have Fuguang Village shares, and Hongye Gambling House is no exception.
The peace of Red Leaf Town is due to the protection of the cottage. As soon as today's fraudulent gamblers say that they are from Fuguangzhai, the shopkeeper knows that they are impostors, but they have lost their gambling games and have no heart to deal with them.
Li Wumang and Yi Fuan played on the street until dusk before going home, and Yi Fuan told his parents and brother about the Red Leaf Gambling House. Yi Fuan's father said: "It's strange, this gambling game has been open for thirty years, why is it gone." β
Yi Fuan's father is in his fifties, he knows Hongye Town well, and when he was young, he also went to Hongye Gambling House to play money, and he is no stranger to gambling without capital. "That's a cash cow for gambling houses, alas, alas. β
Li Wumang asked, "What is Fuguang Village?"
"Fuguang Village is a green forest, and there are 500 heroes. Father Yi was curious when he saw Li Wumang, so he told him about Fuguang Village: There is a mountain named Fengshan more than ten miles away from Hongye Town. The mountain is not very high, and in autumn it is full of red leaves, which is very beautiful. Fuguang Village is near the top of Fengshan Mountain, and the village is headed by the owner of the second village, with a total of five leaders.
Fuguang Village is only 200 zhang away from the peak of Fengshan, Fuguang Village has a rule, if there is a request for the cottage, as long as it can climb to the top, the cottage will respond.
For decades, including the heroes of the cottage, no one has ever dared to reach the top. Someone has tried it in the past, but there is no return, saying that it was eaten by a goblin.
Li Wumang was a little unconvinced. "Are there really goblins in the world?"
"There must be. The water droplets in the red leaf gambling house are either fairy things or evil things, this can't be wrong. Father Yi is very sure.
We talked about the fairy goblins for a while. The family rested after dinner.
Li Wumang dreamed a lot of night, dreaming that the drop of water in the Red Leaf Gambling House was in his dantian, slowly rotating with silver light, and there seemed to be several urns on the surface of the water droplets, and I couldn't count how many.
Li Wumang has seen the Taoist priest's practice, and the text on the surface of the water droplets is similar to the Taoist script, so he guesses that it is the urn text.
When he woke up the next morning, he didn't see anything unusual, and Li Wumang thought: It must be that the water droplets were hidden in his stomach in the crowded gambling hall yesterday. Thinking of what the bearded man said about trying to kill people for money, I was a little scared. But last night I saw water droplets in a dream, and it wasn't necessarily real. With something in his heart, he didn't dare to say it to Yi Fu'an.
In the next few days, Li Wumang and Yi Fuan fished and fished birds or played on the street during the day, and at night they had the same dream.
After living in Hongye Town for ten days, Yi Fuan's brother sent the two back to Gaozhou. Back in Yifu, Li Wumang had nothing to do alone, experienced the incident of the Red Leaf Gambling House, and had no intention of selling melon seed malt candy, and he didn't dare to talk about it to others, so he was depressed all day long.
Suddenly, I thought that Young Master Yi went to the capital for half a month, did he still practice martial arts and literature every day? There is too far from Yi Mingxiang in practicing martial arts, and Li Wumang just wants to do his best.
It will take 50 days for the renamer to come back, and he may be of some use if he works hard day and night during this time. Thinking of this, Li Wumang sat cross-legged on the bunk and closed his eyes. It's just that I can't control my mind, so I have to go out of the house to punch twice, and my heart is much brighter after sweating.
In the past few days, Li Wumang's mind gradually settled, and when he got up this morning, he crossed his knees and practiced qi and entered the ethereal realm. Looking inside the body, I saw a drop of soybean-sized water droplets rotating in the dantian, and there were inscriptions on the water droplets, which were the same as those seen in the dream.
Li Wumang thought that Mr. had said that if there was an abnormality during the practice, he needed to stabilize his true qi to avoid accidents, so he slowly closed the exercises. After thinking about it, I must have worked hard in the past few days and have seen the door of the Great Yang Mental Method.
There is no doubt that the water beads are indeed in his dantian, and although the water beads are small, there are many meson-sized inscriptions on the surface, and they have a silver luster, which must be a strange thing. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
I was in trouble for a while, and there was no one close to me to talk to. From this, I can't help but feel sad when I think of my lost father and mother. At a young age, he suffered from the war, was displaced, and couldn't help but feel resentful.
After a while, I was in a better mood, and I had a clue about what I couldn't tell anyone, so I practiced carefully according to the method taught by Mr. If this water bead is a fairy thing, it will be of great benefit to oneself, and if it is a demon and evil, it is also destined in the previous life, and death will also be death.
Li Wumang has gone through hardships, no longer looking forward and backward, closing his eyes again, he has had the experience of entering the fixed before, and now he has untied the knot, which is easier than the way.
After a while, he entered the realm of emptiness, and saw that the water beads were still rotating in the dantian, so he stored the true qi in the dantian, and the water beads turned faster, and the inscription on the water beads became more and more unclear.
Li Wumang was guided by the luck of the Dayang Heart Method, the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head and the spring acupoint on the soles of his feet, and the Lao Gong acupoint in his palm felt the qi outside the body, and it continued to pour into the dantian. It is a phenomenon that has never been experienced in daily practice.
The water droplets in the dantian turned faster, and the meson-sized inscriptions on the surface of the water droplets seemed to be separated from the water droplets, and the silver light was brighter. The true qi in the dantian is agitated, the water droplets are flying, and the five acupuncture points enter the body with more qi.
felt that the situation was not right, and Li Wumang slowly closed his work. Before practicing martial arts, Mr. carefully explained the Dayang Mind Method, which must be practiced diligently by people, exhaling luck to generate true qi in the dantian, and then traveling to the eight veins, until the true qi circulation in the meridians is reciprocated and there is no blockage, which is a small success.
Da Dantian's true qi is often accumulated, the meridians of the whole body are exhausted, and the luck is a great success.
How can the inexplicable qi outside the body flow into the dantian through the five acupoints, so that the true qi of the dantian is full and does not leak, I think it is because of the water droplets.
Li Wumang also knew that the true qi was the practitioner's own hard work and accumulation, and the inexplicable qi that entered the dantian through the five acupoints outside the body must not be the true qi. When practicing the Great Yang Mind Method, the foreign qi seems to be harmless to him, and Mr. has not said it, so I don't know why. After thinking about it, it should be okay to practice carefully, and the unknown qi may be the so-called righteous qi between heaven and earth.
Li Wumang has read books for a few years, although he is far less than Li Mingxiang, but he has heard of the truth that heaven and earth have righteousness, and a person talks to himself, thinking that it is an inexplicable so-called righteousness.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be bold, and my greed suddenly rose, if I used the strangeness of the water droplets to refine the righteousness that entered the body, I might be able to catch up with the famous people in the practice of martial arts.
The next day, Li Wumang practiced cross-kneeled, and when the true qi in the dantian was full, he followed the mantra of the Great Yang Heart Method to guide the true qi into the eight veins, and the true qi followed Li Wumang's mind to run in the eight veins, and the circulation was smooth and thick, but the obstacles at the key could not be rushed.
Li Wumang knew that he was in a hurry, first easy and then difficult, and worked hard every day, and after more than ten days, except for the second pulse of Ren Du, the rest of the veins were successful.
At this point, Li Wumang understood that if he could get through the second pulse of Ren Du, the Dayang Heart Method would be completed, and in just half a month, his kung fu had reached such a state, and the strangeness of Shui Zhuer was really incredible.
In the next few days, Li Wumang worked harder every day, but the second pulse of Ren Du still did not get through.
Calculate how to borrow the power of water droplets. The next day, after Li Wumang entered the realm of emptiness, he looked inward at his own body and saw that the water beads were spinning in the dantian. Focus on the water beads with your thoughts, hoping that the water beads can integrate the true qi of the dantian.
The water droplets really changed! Slowly turned into a thin silver thread and wound into a ball, and several meson-sized pieces of rice floated out of the surface of the water droplets and scattered around the silver thread formed by the water droplets.
The water droplets did not melt into the true qi, and they were still alone in their existence. Li Wumang guided the silver thread with his mind, the thread group was scattered, and one end of the silver thread entered the eight veins with the true qi, and the true qi guided the silver thread to slowly swim to the junction of the two veins of Ren Du.
The true qi was blocked by this, and the silver thread actually penetrated the second vein of Ren Du at once, and the true qi stored in the body was powerful, and now he found a way to vent and rushed straight through, Li Wumang's ears were like thunder, and his eyes were black and fainted.
To open up the two veins of Ren Du not only requires the internal strength of the warrior to be strong and persevering, but also to have a master to protect the Dharma when rushing to the pass, even then it is very dangerous, and it is not uncommon for the warrior to lose his strength or even be seriously injured to the disabled.
Li Wumang's talent is average, he has not practiced martial arts for a long time, and he has no experience at all, and his cultivation is not enough to get through the second vein of Ren Du. With the help of foreign objects, it is inevitable that there will be such a catastrophe. Fortunately, the method was correct, but the water droplets were not ordinary things, and they turned into silver threads and traveled with the true qi to burn the meridians.
After a long time, Li Wumang gradually woke up, only feeling tired and sweating, and there was nothing abnormal in others. When I got up from the bed, my left leg couldn't move, and I could barely sit up, anxious.
Move your left leg flat with your hands, cross your knees and close your eyes, and your true qi can no longer be condensed. When it comes to such a field, I can only accept my fate, and I only hope that it will be restored in a few days.
Hearing movement outside the door, Li Wumang shouted a few words, and Yi Fu'an, who was cleaning, walked in. Li Wumang said: "Fu'an, I can't move one leg, you find a stick for me." β
Yi Fuan hurriedly asked, "Why can't you move your legs?"
"I don't know. β
Yi Fuan went outside to find a stick, and Li Wumang saw that it was suitable, so he tried to walk a few steps with the stick, which was very inconvenient. So he sat down in a chair and rested. When I slept at night, I dreamed that water droplets were slowly rotating in the dantian.
Half a month later, Liu Sicheng returned to Yifu, and that day he heard Li Wumang say that the new strongman in Shangdao was King Ji's people, so he was motivated to check the idea. coincided with Yi Lin's ancestors and grandsons going to Beijing to meet friends, and Liu Sicheng took advantage of this time to say that he was going out to travel, but he actually went to business.
Walking back and forth along the trade road alone, those strongmen are just a rabble, and the statement of the king of Ji is just chasing after the wind and shadows, and spreading falsehoods, Liu Sicheng is very disappointed with this result.
When he came back, he saw that Li Wumang had a limp leg, and his face was gloomy. Liu Sicheng accepted Li Wumang in the escape, because he needed a scholar, and secondly, Li Wumang looked a little similar to his son, so he regarded Li Wumang as a person associated with his fate.
If Li Wumang gets rid of his bad luck and prospers step by step, it seems to indicate that he will eventually reach the pinnacle of power. Liu Sicheng's previous love for Li Wumang was just a good omen.
Liu Sichenggui is the prince with heavy troops, hiding incognito and taking refuge, Hua Wu's words are his hope, and when he meets Li Wumang, he is also unintentionally taken in, and he is involuntarily regarded as a sign of his own fortune.
Seeing Li Wumang's situation, he couldn't help but be discouraged, and secretly wondered if he believed in Hua Wu too much? At the beginning, he had 800,000 horses in the three northern states, which was enough to compete with Liu Shiyi, but he listened to Hua Wu's words, abandoned his fiefdom and drifted to Gaozhou.
Seeing that Liu Sicheng's face was ugly, Li Wumang didn't know what to do, and after a few days, Li Wumang saw that Mr. had not had a good face for himself, so he made up his mind to leave.
On this day, Liu Sicheng was reading a book in front of the case, and Li Wumang walked over with a stick and shouted, "Engong." On weekdays, Li Wumang only calls Liu Sicheng Mr., and today he will change his name to Engong if he wants to say goodbye.
Liu Sicheng looked up at him.
"This leg is a drag on people, and I can't serve Engong, Wumang has a relative in Gaozhou City who invited me to live for a few days, and I specially bid farewell to Engong. β
Liu Sicheng was not sympathetic to the poor and the poor, but recently he saw that there were no people of his own in Gaozhou Business Road, so he was a little disheartened, and he lost patience with Li Wumang, and nodded with a calm face. Li Wumang left silently.
After saying hello to Yi Fuan, Li Wumang left Yi Mansion with a stick. There is nowhere to go on the street, a few days ago I made a few dollars of silver by selling melon seeds and malt candy, and now although I am lame, I can only use these to do the capital and return to the old business, but I don't have a place to live.
During the day, he sells melon seeds and maltose on the street, and lives in the City God Temple at night, and his legs have not been good. Yi Fuan sneaked out to see him twice.
On this day, Li Wumang was selling melon seeds on the street, and when he saw Yi Mingxiang and Yi Fuan coming over, Yi Mingxiang shouted from afar: "Wumang!" "Young master, when will you come back?" Li Wumang was very happy to see Yi Mingxiang.
Yi Mingxiang approached and said: "I came back yesterday, I didn't see you, I heard Fu'an say that you quit Mr. Wang to sell sugar on the street, today I asked Mr. for leave, let Fu'an bring you to find you." β
Yi Mingxiang looked at Li Wumang: "Your leg is not good, I heard Fu'an say that it has been lame for a few days." β
"It's not good, it's not in the way, you can walk with a stick. β
"Where does Wumang live?"
"There is accommodation. Li Wumang was reluctant to sue SΓΉ for changing his name.
"I know you live in the City God Temple. Yi Mingxiang said, took out a small silver ingot from his body and handed it to Li Wumang. "Take it first, find a place to live. I'll tell the housekeeper that the Yi family has some business in the city, so if you find a shop to be an apprentice, you will have a place to live. β
Li Wumang didn't take the money, and said with a smile: "I also have trouble walking, how can I be an apprentice?"
"That's not in the way, it's not too late to heal your leg first. After changing his name, he put the silver on Li Wumang's body.
changed his name to a scholarly family, but he was chivalrous at a young age. I have been with Li Wumang for a long time, and I have some feelings.
Li Wumang took out the silver ingot. "Young master, I can't ask for silver, and I won't go to the apprentice. β
"I know that Wumang is unwilling to accept my favor. The name changer was a little angry.
Li Wumang's life is bumpy, stubborn, arrogant by nature, and unwilling to drag others down. I don't know what to say when I see the change of name.
Yi Fuan said on the side: "Wumang, why don't you come to my house to live, my parents know that the two of us are friends, and I will go back to Hongye Town in two months." β
Yi Fu'an asked, "Why do you go back in two months?"
"Fu'an has been working at the young master's house for two months and has been working for two years, so he naturally went back. "Yi Fu'an's family owed Yi Fu the money and couldn't pay it back, and his parents sent him to Yi Fu to help pay off the debt.
As soon as Yi Mingxiang heard the reason, he stopped making a sound. After a while, Yi Mingxiang suddenly said, "How about the three of us go to the City God Temple to worship our brothers?"
Li Wumang and Yi Fuan were all taken aback.
"Young Master, we are all subordinates, how can we bow down to the young master?" Yi Fuan felt that the young master's idea was incredible.
"I study on weekdays, and I don't make friends, but you two fall in love with me. Besides, Wumang is not a member of my Yi family, Fu'an, you are just paying off your father's debts, and you have worked in my family for two years, what is the difference between up and down?"
"Young master, you are a scholarly family, an official family, and you have a great future. How to compare with the absence of Mangfuan. Li Wumang also felt that it was inappropriate.
The name change became agitated. "Listening to you, you are also a scholar, how can you not know that your fate is determined by heaven. That has been rich for thousands of years, and has been poor for hundreds of years? If you don't want to, there are so many famous halls. β
Li Wumang followed Liu Sicheng to Yi's house and got along with Yi Fu'an for a long time. The three are of similar age, and the young people are the most like-minded.
Li Wumang couldn't bear to change his name. "In this way, the three of us are in the order of the year, and today I am a brother. β
The name change was happy.
Yi Fuan was a little reserved. "Why don't you delay it for two months, and then wait until I'm done with my errand?"
"I regard you as a brother, what do you have to do with the servants!"
The three of them went to the City God Temple, Li Wumang changed his name for the longest time, and Yi Fuan was the third brother. Light incense and burn paper to kowtow in front of the gods, and the three of them bowed to each other.
"Big brother, you still go to live at my house, you have two taels of silver, and it will only cost five dollars to hire a car to go to Hongye Town, and wait for me to come back at home. "Coming out of the City God Temple, Yi Fu'an repeated the old words.
The renaming minister also agreed. "The eldest brother does not want to be an apprentice, and it is better to go to the third brother's house to live for a while. β
In recent days, Li Wumang has been thinking that the pain in his leg is related to the water droplets, which are obtained from the Red Leaf Gambling House, and he also wants to go to Red Leaf Town to see. Seeing that the two of them came to persuade together, they agreed to come down. Yi Fuan hired a car after a while, and changed his name to say a few words.
Li Wumang said to Yi Mingxiang: "The third brother is still a servant of the Yi family after all, let him call you young master in front of people, so as not to embarrass the third brother." β
Yi Mingxiang reluctantly agreed, and Li Wumang took a car to Yi Fu's house.
When I arrived in Hongye Town and went to Yi Fu'an's house, Yi Fu'an's parents and brothers continued, Li Wumang said his situation, and the Yi family was very sympathetic.
Moreover, Li Wumang is an old friend of Yi Fu'an, and Yi Fu'an's family is busy arranging for Li Wumang to live, and they also try their best to take care of their diet and daily life.
On the second day, Li Wumang went to the town with a stick and went to the Red Leaf Gambling House to take a look. No one paid attention to him. Li Wumang probably expected such a result, but in vain.
In the afternoon, Li Wumang went to the street again, found a candy shop and negotiated the price with the shopkeeper, and started a basket sales business in Hongye Town. Every day, the money earned is handed over to Yi Fuan's parents. Yi Fuan's parents refused to accept it at first, but they insisted on giving it, so they had to accept it. Li Wumang's heart felt better.
On the seventh day, Yi Fuan hurriedly ran home, and saw Li Wumang crying loudly, "Big brother, the young master was watching the lights in Gaozhou City last night, and was kidnapped by the strongmen of Fuguang Village. β
Li Wumang was startled: "Tell me quickly." β
"Yesterday was the annual Lantern Festival in Gaozhou, the young master and I went to the street to see the lights, and the crowd was crowded, and the young master was taken captive by the strongmen of Fuguang Village. β
"How do you know it's from Fuguang Village?"
"The strongman left a letter on the door of Yifu, asking Yifu to bring 100,000 taels of silver to ransom people. β
Li Wumang asked, "Did Yi Fu go to redeem people?"
"Yi Mansion couldn't take out this lot of silver taels for a while, and the old lady went to the cottage with the housekeeper to discuss it early in the morning, and Yi Mansion took a few days to raise silver taels. β
Li Wumang asked again, "How did you come back?"
"I came here with the housekeeper and ran to tell Brother SΓΉ that the housekeeper was rushing to Fuguang Village. β
Yi Fuan's parents were also dumbfounded when they heard it, and Yi's father frowned. "Why is this Fuguang Village so fierce. β
"Where is Fuguang Village?" Although he said Fuguang Village during the chat, Li Wumang didn't know where Fuguang Village was.
Father Yi said: "Ten miles out of Red Leaf Town." β
"Uncle, please hire a car for Wumang, I'm going to take a look. β
"I'm here with the housekeeper, and I'm going to Fuguang Village too. "Yi Fu'an is also going. Father Yi was a little worried, but he still hired a car and let them go.
Nearly an hour to the foot of Fengshan, saw the big housekeeper of Yifu standing by the road, and asked, the housekeeper said that the second master of the cottage had passed down the word, Fuguangzhai did not hijack any young master of Yifu, don't make trouble.
A few people from Yi Mansion were at a loss for Li Wumang. The housekeeper frowned and sighed, "Now the only way to go back to the house is to tell the old lady and find another way to rescue the young master." β
