Wucheng is 800 miles in circumference. The east is the plain, which belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the water network is vertical and horizontal, and it is the land of fish and rice since ancient times. The most famous mountain range in the hilly mountains in the northwest is called the Jiulian Mountains. The reason why Jiulian Mountain got its name is because it has been said that it has a total of nine main peaks that meander towards each other. But now, from the map, there are only six main peaks, from east to north, the six main peaks are Zhaoting, Feiduan, Baimang, Liuling, Miaomen, and Qiyun, forming six intermittently connected mountainous areas.

Beyond Qiyun Mountain is the Qingyi Lake with hundreds of miles of smoke waves. The Qingyi River originates from Qingyi Lake, flows north along the west of Jiulian Mountain, flows for 300 miles, and then joins with another big river in Wucheng, the Yangjiang River, and flows north into the Yangtze River. This place is called Sanjiangkou, and there is also a temple of Erlang. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai once wrote a poem in Wucheng: "Two rivers sandwich mirrors, two bridges fall rainbows". Later generations studied that these two rivers should refer to the Qingyi River and the Shuiyang River, while the double bridge refers to the Wangchuan Bridge and the Phoenix Bridge in the urban area of Wucheng City, those two bridges had in the Tang Dynasty, but the Phoenix Bridge was destroyed many times later. But what does the mirror in Li Bai's words refer to? There are different opinions, some people say that it is the scene of the double bridge arches reflected on the water surface, and some people say that it is Qingyi Lake. What exactly does this mirror mean, I'm afraid only Shixian and his old man understand.

My family lives at the foot of Zhaoting Mountain, and Qingquan Town is built on Baimang Mountain, 55 miles away from Wucheng City. Qingquan Town is not big, there are three streets vertical, two horizontal, and about 2,000 households. Qingquan Town is named after Qingquan Brewery, and a small half of the town's residents are employees of Qingquan Brewery. The brewery is located at the foot of Baimang Mountain because the spring water of Jiulian Mountain is of good quality, and the beer brewed has a unique taste.

At noon on April 15, I came to Qingquan Town with Feng Junzi. In the morning, I took the bus and got off the bus just in time for lunch. Feng Junzi knew that I had recently received two thousand yuan, and he must have asked me to treat him to a meal at noon. People have money in their pockets, and the confidence is different, so I didn't invite him to a food stall, but entered a small hotel with a fairly clean face. He ordered a plate of braised beauties (field chicken) and a few side dishes to accompany the wine, and then asked me, "Can Ishino drink if I have something to do later?"

Obviously, I had something to do in the afternoon, and the gentleman wanted to drink, but he was embarrassed to say it, and he actually asked me. I just told him to watch it himself, and not to drink too much. The Wind Gentleman said to himself, "Then it shouldn't matter if you drink a bottle of beer." Then he turned to the waiter and shouted, "Waiter, two bottles of Qingquan beer!"

"Didn't you say drink a bottle?"

Wind Gentleman: "One bottle per person." ”

I didn't take a few sips, and after drinking his bottle and drinking my bottle, the wine gradually increased. The legs of the beauties in this restaurant are more spicy, and the head of the gentleman is already sweating when he eats it. During the dinner, I took an opportunity to ask him, "Wind Gentleman, what do you say we are going to get two things?"

Feng Junzi wiped his sweat and replied: "These two things you also heard at Director Tang's house that night, they are a black Ruyi and a purple ancient robe, these are the things that Qi Yunguan's Hechen Dao Chang wanted back then." I guess it's a Dharma weapon, otherwise his kind of monk wouldn't have touched his heart. ”

"Do you want it too?"

Feng Junzi shook his head: "What I want is different from what he wants." As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, so the Liu family is just an ordinary person, and it is useless to keep this kind of magic weapon, but it will bring disaster, and Principal Liu is an example twenty years ago. We're here today to steal these two things, and to let everyone know that someone has stolen them...... This is to do good deeds for the Liu family!"

"Suffer for the Liu family?"

Feng Junzi nodded: "Don't you want to help Teacher Liu?" Then the Tang family and his son are just ordinary people, and you have some magical powers, so you shouldn't be afraid of them." However, the Taoist priests of Qiyunguan are different, they are cultivators under the Zhengyi Sect. ...... Now that the Tang family and his son have clues to the relics of the Liu family, if they attract the vote of the chief of the Hechen Dao, it will be troublesome, and I am afraid that you and I will not be able to protect the Liu family. ...... Therefore, this is a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and first leave Mr. Liu's family aside. ”

What the wind gentleman said seemed to make a lot of sense, but I always felt that something was wrong, and said with some doubts: "You say that this is doing a good deed, but in the final analysis, we are still thieves, we are stealing things......"

Feng Junzi took a sip of wine and looked up and said, "This is called a thief, and there is also a way to say that Liu Xia Hui and his brother said." ”

"Feng Junzi, do you often steal things? The futon under the Zhuangyuan Bridge is what you stole from Jiulin Temple, and you ran to Qiyunguan some time ago to steal what locks, beast rings, and demon ropes...... After stealing the monk and stealing the Taoist, I really haven't seen a thief like you!"

Feng Junzi smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, the first thing I stole was in a nunnery......

"What! You were the first to steal from a nun! ”

Wind Gentleman: "That's complicated. The Guanyin Nunnery has been around for a long time, but during the Cultural Revolution, the Bodhisattva had people move it away, and the Daxiong Hall was converted into a kindergarten. I used to go to kindergarten there for a year. I remember that when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I went back to see the kindergarten during the Chinese New Year, and the kindergarten was changed to Kannon-an. It was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and I asked for a lottery when I was idle. ”

"What sign?"

"The fourteenth sign of the lottery is 'sick dragon and rain'. At that time, I asked for money, and I gave a piece of money to the little nun, and when I didn't have the money to find it, she said that the five cents were incense money, and the Bodhisattva would bless me to be admitted to college. I remember that the Bodhisattva was the son of Guanyin, what does it have to do with the university entrance examination? Do you think this nun is funny? Because I remember the stick very clearly, but I never understood what it meant. ”

"It's nothing to do with stealing, what did you steal?"

The Wind Gentleman waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to listen to me." Three years later, in 1988, it was the Year of the Dragon. When I was in my third year of junior high school, I had a serious illness and was recuperating at home for a long time. Growing up, I had hardly ever had any illness, and this was the only time it came and went! After I recovered from my illness, I immediately went to Guanyin Nunnery, and while the nun was not paying attention, I stole the stick in the holder, threw it into the incense burner outside the temple gate, and burned it. ”

"Why burn it?"

Feng Junzi said solemnly: "The signs in the temple are not all effective. And this one is so effective, and the person who draws it is a curse or a blessing, how can I keep it. ...... Actually, I'm not a thief, I steal other things for similar reasons. ”

"You are really bold, and you are not afraid that Guanyin Bodhisattva will settle accounts with you. ”

Feng Junzi snorted coldly: "Settle accounts? I haven't settled accounts with her yet!"

"Feng Junzi, your nuns, monks, and Taoist priests have all stolen what will you steal next time?"

Feng Junzi smiled: "I don't know if there is a mosque in Wucheng, but there is a Catholic church that will go to visit one day......"

As he spoke, a Santana car drove past on the street in front of the hotel with its horn blared. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Tang Jin sitting in the passenger seat, and it was Tang's father and son. The Wind Gentleman also saw it and nodded at me, and the two of us checked out and went out. Not far away from Qingquan Town, I saw the car turn a corner and stop outside the courtyard gate of a family, and it seemed that it was Mr. Liu's house.

Mr. Liu's family has a single house, and the place where he lives in the countryside is much more spacious than in the city, although Qingquan Town is a town, it is still a country. Feng Junzi and I walked through an alley to the outside of the backyard wall of Liu's house. The Wind Gentleman said to me, "Ishino now listen to this house with your ears." ”

"Listen to what?"

"Listen to the footsteps, how the footsteps move, and then draw me on the ground, how many rooms do they have, where do the doors open? ”

I originally thought that the ear power was only used to listen to people, but I didn't think it could be used to listen to "house". Locking on the house with his divine sense, he heard all kinds of sounds coming from the house, the most of which was footsteps. It's amazing to say, and as the reverberation of these voices comes to mind, the structure of a house looms in my head. So he picked a branch, drew a sketch on the ground, and showed it to the Wind Gentleman.

The Wind Gentleman nodded and said, "It's still early, let's come back in a while." ”

After more than an hour, I returned to this place with the Wind Gentleman. When I listened intently, all the voices were concentrated in the main hall of the house, and there should be no one in the rest of the room. When the wind gentleman found out, he pointed to the courtyard wall and said, "Ishino punched this wall. ”

"What do you say? It's a brick wall! My hands are fleshy. ”

"What are you afraid of? This is a single-brick earthen core wall. You have the kung fu of the golden dragon lock jade pillar and are you afraid of this...... I forgot to teach you how to punch, and now I'm going to teach you how to punch this one. You can rest assured that you will never get hurt. ”

The boxing method that Feng Junzi taught me is not a martial art, but how to punch this punch out. The posture is not complicated, it is just twisting the waist and turning the wrist straight stab, but the mental method is very particular. First, the target point of the punch is not on the wall, but after penetrating the wall. Secondly, the spirit should concentrate on using the power of the mind to penetrate this brick wall with the mind. I know more or less about the power of the mind, I once used my mind to urge the chrysanthemum to bloom, but it is unheard of to break the wall with a punch in my mind.

Seeing my hesitation, the wind gentleman stopped me and told me: "You can't hesitate in your heart, you can't punch if you have doubts, you first adjust your mind and wait for your mind to settle down before punching out...... I didn't just teach you this punch, you have cultivated your mental power, and you have this golden dragon lock jade pillar heart protection kung fu, this boxing method is just right for you. ”

After about a cup of tea, I punched the brick wall, and a hole the size of a bowl was pierced! The punch felt weird, as if it didn't hit a brick wall, but pierced several layers of paper. The fist didn't hurt, but he felt a force that shook his whole body, and then he took two steps back to stand firm. The Wind Gentleman hurriedly pulled me aside and listened carefully—the people in the main hall in front were not alarmed.

I looked at my fist and was a little disbelieving and whispered to the wind gentleman, "What kind of fist is this?"

The Wind Gentleman looked in from the hole in the wall and replied casually: "Indian punch!"

"Indian punching?

"Punching and hurting people with mental power is the mental method of Indian Kaquan, which requires a long period of spiritual cultivation. You don't care what it is, I've heard about it occasionally, and I took you to do an experiment today, but I didn't expect you to be really successful. ”

"Damn, so you're lying to me, what if you don't succeed?"

"Unsuccessful? That's how the special forces work to make mille-feuille paper during training. If you have body protection skills, you won't get hurt, what is it called! ”

"What do you want me to make a hole in the wall?"

"I'll find out later, you're here to watch the wind, I'll go in. "Saying that, the gentleman told me a few more words, telling me how to do after the deed was completed. Then he took a few steps back and ran forward, and then stepped into the hole in the wall, and as soon as he reached out to hold the wall, he rolled into the courtyard, and saw that his movements were much more flexible than he had been in physical education class. It turns out that this kid asked me to make a hole in the wall, which is used to climb over the wall and step up!

I listened attentively outside the wall, only to hear the wind gentleman go straight to a room near the backyard, and then seemed to lift something on the ground and drill down - it turned out that the old house of Mr. Liu's family still had a cellar. Listening to the voice, the wind gentleman rummaged in the cellar for something, but he didn't find it for a while. I listened attentively to the movement in the front hall again, but I heard a conversation.

A slightly old voice said, "What kind of longevity do you have when you are half buried in the earth...... Thank you, Director Tang, for coming so far and wide, I really don't dare to be it. ”

Then came the voice of Director Tang: "Mr. Liu Zigui is a famous educator in Wucheng, and the Liu family has contributed to the culture and education of Wucheng...... Even if there is no matter of the Liu family, I should visit for the sake of the younger generations of the two families. ”

At this time, Tang Jin said again: "Uncle Liu, Fei'er and I have been together for so long, but I rarely come to see you, old man, I have a drink here now to make amends, and I will definitely come to see you often in the future...... My dad came here for the first time today to meet Fei'er's elders...... Don't talk about business, just family affairs. ”

I've never seen such a thick-skinned person! I heard Tang Jin's voice and became angry, and when I was angry, the wind gentleman seemed to have succeeded. I heard him run out of the backyard and climb over the wall and gesture at me, which means to do what is planned.

I waited for the wind gentleman to run out of dozens of steps, pretending to chase him out, and then went around to the door of the Liu family. Seeing that there was no one in front of the door, only Director Tang's car was parked, and the wind gentleman picked up half a brick and threw it out, breaking a car window. As soon as the glass shattered, I shouted, "Thief - there is a thief!

After shouting this, I immediately dodged into an alley and secretly observed around the corner. The door of Liu's house opened, and Tang Jin rushed out first, followed by Director Tang and a young man he didn't know, presumably Director Tang's driver. The Wind Gentleman did not run in a hurry, but stood in the distance, waving a black Ruyi and a purple shirt in his hand. Seeing someone come out and pretending to laugh three times, he laughed three times: "Hahaha, black Ruyi! Ziyingyi! It's finally in my hands-" After speaking, he turned around and ran.

The Liu family is already close to the edge of Qingquan Town, and further out is the foot of Bai Mang Mountain. The Wind Gentleman ran as fast as a thief, so to speak, faster than Xiu Xiudu, and as soon as he slipped through the smoke, he went up the mountain and into the bushes. Feng Junzi laughed three times, coupled with that sentence, the sound was amazing, and the doors of many people's homes were opened, and many people came out. Everyone saw that the wind gentleman ran up Bai Mang Mountain, and they all made a look of shouting and catching thieves, but few people really caught up.

Without waiting for Mr. Liu to come out, I also mixed in the crowd and chased him out, making a look of catching a thief bravely, and ran towards the mountain. As soon as I ran up the hill, I heard a gust of wind around me, and with a faint fragrance, a man crossed over and caught up with me. This person was wearing a police uniform and looked like a tall woman -- oh no! How could there be a policeman?

I was overwhelmed by this sudden situation, and I couldn't let the police catch me, otherwise I would be in trouble! I didn't know what to do, so I had to chase after him. The policeman in front of him was very agile and vigorous, striding through the grass and jumping over the stumps, shouting as he ran: "Stop! I see that you are not allowed to move, don't run again, you will not be able to escape!"

She was holding something in her hand, which was glowing blue and blue, not a pistol, but an electric baton commonly used by the police at the time. I saw her run forward a few steps forward, and a person suddenly burst out of the grass! When the policewoman saw someone jumping out, she waved her electric baton out casually. The man's skill was very agile, and he flew up, and the right wrist of the policeman he kicked off, and the electric baton flew off his hand and flew into the grass, and then his wrist flipped and a dagger stabbed out.

I had just breathed a sigh of relief when I ran close to see the man's dagger stabbing at the policeman. I subconsciously blocked the dagger with a wave of my hand, and the policeman also turned sideways and kicked the opponent in the soft underbelly. The kick was accurate and ruthless, only to hear the man scream and fall to the ground.

"How could Ishino be you? Thank you so much. At this time, the policeman spoke to me, and I realized that she was none other than Qu Ling, a security police officer I met at the Binjiang Police Station a few days ago.

"I'm here with my classmates...... Officer Qu, why are you here?"

"My brother-in-law's house is in Qingquan Town, and I came to see my sister on weekends...... You give me honesty. As he spoke, the officer stepped on the man's back, touched his waist, and untied the man's shoelaces without handcuffs, cut the man's back, put his hands behind his back, and tied the thumbs of his hands together with the shoelaces. Then he retrieved the electric rod from the grass and held it in his hand, his expression was much more relaxed.

"Ishino, your sleeve is torn...... It's dangerous, the knife just now is grazing your wrist, and if it hits the artery, it will be troublesome...... I really want to thank you today, that knife came at me. ”

Hearing this, I looked down and saw that the cuff of my right hand had been cut a few inches long. In fact, the dagger just now was stabbed on my wrist, but the muscles in my arm naturally contracted, and the blade slid open, not cutting the skin, but leaving a white mark, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. This is the talisman of the golden dragon lock jade pillar, and the wind gentleman once said that it is difficult for ordinary people to hurt with a knife and axe, and this is the situation I am referring to.

"Why did you catch me? I just sneaked into the house and didn't have time to steal something...... Comrade police don't believe you searching my body. ”

Lying on the ground was a man with a thief's eyebrow who was shouting at this time. Qu Ling kicked the man's shoulder and scolded: "If you steal something, you steal something, what are you running? If you run, you dare to attack the police, I think you are impatient!"

"I was wronged by reporting to the government, I didn't deliberately attack the police, it was a conditioned reflex!"

At this time, there were voices in the distance, and many people had already taken advantage of the excitement to walk up the hillside. I don't want Mr. Liu to see it, so I quickly say hello and turn around and leave. Qu Ling seemed to want to keep me and had something to say, but looking at that gangster, he couldn't come and chase me. When I left, the more I thought about it, the more I was afraid of the wind gentleman, after all, he was a naughty child, and he was so reckless that he went to steal things, and almost didn't get into a big accident. At the same time, I also secretly laughed in my heart, that thief really didn't know how to pick the time and place, how could he start at the same time as the wind gentleman stole things, and the place was nearby?
