Not long after Jade Shura fell asleep, he was disturbed by the words of the two of them. Xiao Yunfan picked up the wolf cub and said, "Ying'er, this is not a puppy, it's a wolf." Ying'er wondered: "It's a wolf? Why is it the same as a puppy?" Xiao Yunfan smiled. He said: "It's really a wolf. There's nothing wrong with asking Uncle Lu to save it, but Uncle Lu will tell you a story." Ying'er nodded.
Xiao Yunfan said slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a general named Zhao Jianzi. This man was very good at archery and always hit the mark. Once, he took his men to hunt and met a wolf on the way. The wolf stood up like a human, bared its teeth and wanted to eat Zhao Jianzi and His entourage.
Of course General Zhao couldn't let the wolf eat him, so he casually drew an arrow from the quiver. Pulling out the bow string, with a whoosh, the arrow shot towards the wolf. It happened to hit the wolf's front leg. Although the wolf was injured, it did not die and ran away.
On the way to escape, the wolf met an old man riding a donkey. Everyone called him Mr. Dongguo. Mr. Dongguo was going to Zhongshan to be an official. He packed a lot of books in a big bag. I happened to reach a fork in the road and got lost.
As soon as the injured wolf saw him, he said, "Please, old man, please save me. If someone wants to harm me, I will definitely repay you." The old gentleman was very kind-hearted and said, "How should I save you?" The wolf looked at his book pocket and said, "Why don't you let me hide it in your pocket?" '
Mr. Dong Guo agreed to it, so he poured out part of the book in his pocket and let the wolf get into his pocket. But they failed twice in a row. With smoke billowing in the distance, General Zhao was about to arrive.
Mr. Dongguo first tied the wolf's hands and feet, then put the wolf into the bag and put a few volumes on it. After a while, General Zhao came here driving a carriage. When he saw Mr. Dongguo leading a donkey, he asked him if he had seen the wolf. Mr. Dongguo agreed to the wolf, so he said to General Zhao: "I haven't seen it." '
When General Zhao was gone, he quickly opened the bag and let the wolf out. At this time, the wolf's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said viciously: "Sir, don't dare to forget your life-saving grace." Why don't you, a good man, do it to the end? I happen to be hungry, and I hope that you will do it. 'Turn around and eat Mr. Dongguo. "
Ying'er interrupted him and said: "Uncle Lu said that Mr. Dongguo saved the wolf, but the wolf wanted to eat him. But how could this wolf eat people when it was still a cub? Even if it wants to eat us, it has no stomach. So big."
Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but be speechless. At this time, Yu Shura thought to himself: "Brother Xiao is telling stories to the children on the surface, but in fact he is still suspicious of me. He suspects that I will repay kindness with hatred like that wolf." He slowly opened his eyes, pretending not to know and said: " Ying'er, what are you and Uncle Lu talking about?" Ying'er came to him and said, "Uncle Monk, please persuade Uncle Lu to save the little wolf. The little wolf's leg is injured." Shura said: "Well, Bodhisattva Ying'er has a kind heart. Let me persuade Uncle Lu."
Although he knew Xiao Yunfan's real name, he still did not change his name in front of Ying'er. Xiao Yunfan saw Jade Shura's expression was different and thought to himself: "Too bad, I originally wanted to tell Ying'er that this wolf cannot be saved. Brother Shura may not think so after hearing this."
He lowered his head and said hurriedly: "Brother Shura, don't blame me, I just made a mistake. I told Ying'er the story of this wolf to let..." Jade Shura stretched out a palm and said: "Brother Lu, how can I I don’t understand, Ying’er, please go out and play for a while, and I’ll persuade Uncle Lu.”
Jade Shura continued: "Brother Xiao, you don't want to cure this wolf because you are worried that he will retaliate for his kindness?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Brother Shura, I don't want to cure it. I have two concerns: First, we don't have much rations at the moment. If we add more, This little guy is definitely not enough; secondly, since there are wolves here, there may be wolves, and it will be difficult to deal with this little one if it attracts wolves."
Yu Shura pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Xiao's concerns are not unreasonable. But Ying'er is still a child. If the wolf is really allowed to freeze to death and starve to death, she will definitely be sad. Since her parents are gone, I have rarely seen her. Laugh. That day you let your child ride a big horse. That was the first time I saw her smile in these days. Today, you made dishes and chopsticks for her again. I think this child probably regards you as a relative in his heart.
We are her relatives now, so we should pamper her more. As for the rations for this little kid, I think you must have other methods. You can even handle the tigers and leopards of the Beggar Clan at your fingertips, and I don't think it's a problem to deal with a pack of wolves. "
Xiao Yunfan looked at him, frowned and smiled bitterly: "As for these high hats that Brother Shura gave me, I don't want to agree to you anymore." Yu Shura blinked and said: "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I'll use them In exchange for the Bodhi Heart Sutra. You will not suffer any loss."
Xiao Yunfan said to the little wolf in his arms: "Little guy, did you see it? He saved your life, but you must remember the face of this benefactor."
In a dilapidated temple, a dozen beggars in ragged clothes sat around a bonfire chatting. Liu Wanting walked to the southeast corner, took off the wine gourd from his waist, handed it to Zhang Chengyun, who was wrapped in three layers of quilts, and then said: "Brother Zhang, it's cold, drink some wine to keep yourself warm."
Zhang Chengyun took the gourd, took a sip of wine, his body gradually warmed up, and he cursed to himself: "The damn hozen came out of nowhere and plotted secretly. I almost froze to death. If it weren't for you, Brother Liu, I would be like this My little life was lost in a daze." After saying that, he couldn't help but sneeze.
Liu Wanting stroked his beard and lowered his head and said: "This matter is strange. The Jade Shura was seriously injured. I was about to capture him, but Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway and the victory was defeated." Zhang Chengyun raised his head, looked at Liu Wanting and said seriously: "Brother Liu's implication is that he suspects that there is someone high-level who is obstructing this and looking for bad luck in my beggar gang."
Liu Wanting nodded and said: "Exactly, you have fought against that kid. Can you clearly see what kind of skills he has?" Zhang Chengyun spit out thick phlegm, wiped it with his sleeve and said, "This kid is weird. , If you say he doesn’t know martial arts, but he’s very good at identifying acupoints, if you say he knows martial arts, he can’t even deal with my subordinates for a moment.”
Liu Wanting was confused and asked: "There are no less than seventy-eight acupuncture techniques in the world. Can you see his technique clearly?" Zhang Chengyun sniffed and said, "This guy used chili powder to blind my eyes. This is what he meant. Naturally, I can't see his method of covering up the door of the house." As he spoke, he sneezed again.
Seeing that he was about to sneeze again, Liu Wanting quickly stepped aside and said: "Brother Zhang, we are all in trouble. Spreading this matter will damage the reputation of our Beggar Clan..." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chengyun understood and smiled. : "Brother Liu means it, I understand it. I will tell my subordinates to keep their mouths shut. But we failed this time and it is not easy for the gang leader to reply."
Liu Wanting lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Lao Yang is a close confidant of the gang leader, and the gang leader naturally takes it seriously. His death is a good thing for us, and there will be no constraints on our future work. The gang leader loves money most, Sichuan and Shaanxi The money from the four provinces of Henan, Henan and Shanxi has all passed through our hands. If the gang leader really wants to make things difficult for us, he will have trouble with the money.
Lao Yang's business is nothing more than giving more pensions to his family members. As for Jade Shura, he was said to have been rescued by his comrades, and we have secretly sent people to follow him. The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to get back the money lost last time from other places. "
While the two were chatting, a beggar disciple walked into the temple and said that he had found traces of Jade Shura and others in a valley. In order to avoid disturbing others, he rushed back to report.
After hearing this, Liu Wanting ordered his disciples to continue watching. Zhang Chengyun said: "Brother Liu, this Jade Shura is injured and is easy to deal with. There is an expert behind that boy of unknown origin. We still have to be careful before we find out his details."
Liu Wanting nodded and said: "Brother is right. I had thought of this as well, but if Jade Shura is not eliminated, it will always be a worry. Fortunately, our people have secretly kept an eye on them and are not afraid of them running to the sky. You and I should recharge our batteries first and make careful calculations."
After half a month, Jade Shura was taken care of by Xiao Yunfan, and the wounds on his body gradually healed, and he was able to walk around. In the evening, Ying'er fell asleep, and the little wolf cub also slept soundly in the bamboo basket. Jade Shura walked outside the cave and saw Xiao Yunfan practicing swordsmanship in the snow with a wooden sword in his hand.
Seeing the subtlety, he cheered: "Good swordsmanship!" Xiao Yunfan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Shura, I'm so impressed. I haven't stretched my muscles for a long time, so I did a few random tricks and made you laugh." Jade Shura raised his palms. He said in front of his chest: "It is said that diligence is better than playfulness, and this is generally the case in martial arts. As long as Brother Xiao is willing to work hard, I think your martial arts will be restored to its original state in two or three years."
Xiao Yunfan thought about it and said, "I wonder if Brother Shura is interested in giving me a lesson or two?" Yu Shura looked at him, frowned and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Let's stop here. Brother Xiao has lost all his internal strength, and I am also There is no need for internal strength, we just fight against each other. But before we compete, I have a request."
"any request?"
"That means you and I are both in the same place, unable to move our feet."
Xiao Yunfan thought to himself: "Firstly, he doesn't use internal strength, and secondly, he doesn't use light skills. This competition is of great benefit to me. How can I live up to his kindness?" The two stood on the snow, each leaving a pair of footprints. Jade Shura flicked his sleeves, opened his posture and said, "Please!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunfan raised his right hand, and the wooden sword in his hand suddenly stabbed out and pointed at his shoulder. Jade Shura easily avoided it with one side of his body.
Xiao Yunfan flipped his wrist and changed from a straight thrust to a horizontal cut. This change may seem ordinary, but when a line is drawn from one point, the effect is completely different. If you stab the enemy with the tip of the sword, the wound will be no bigger than the tip of the sword, but if you scratch the enemy with the blade of the sword, the wound will naturally be much larger than the tip of the sword.
How could Yu Shura not understand such a simple truth? This move changes from stabbing to cutting, focusing on the first move, aiming to gain momentum. Just like a master playing chess, victory or defeat does not depend on the number of chess pieces, but on controlling the situation.
The most important thing about Bihai Qingtian Sword is the word "power". The battle of martial arts is about defeating the opponent. In battles between rivers and lakes, life and death are often at stake. If you can defeat the enemy with one move, you will never use a second move. Most of Xiao Yunfan's martial arts experience was gained in exchange for his life, and the same was true for Jade Shura.
Both of them wanted to gain the upper hand, but Xiao Yunfan finally took the lead. It turned out that in the past few days, he had gotten up early in the morning and practiced hard in secret. Although he can't completely restore his former skills, it is still very effective.
A wooden sword struck twenty-seven moves in a row, with continuous sword intent and fierce moves.
Jade Shura has been in battle for a long time and is very good at palm skills. He is still unable to counterattack even under the shadow of the sword. It was as if every time he made a move, Xiao Yunfan could sense his intention and always find the flaws in his moves before he made them, tit for tat. In desperation, he had no choice but to return the favor.
In the beginning of this continuous attack, Jade Shura was on the defensive, but his defense was tight. After a long stalemate, Xiao Yunfan felt that his breath was not smooth. Seeing this opportunity, Jade Shura made a diagonal semicircle with his right palm, enclosing the wooden sword. The left palm moved from bottom to top and hit the sword body, immediately swinging the wooden sword away one foot.
His move is the "nameless karma fire" in the Six Paths of Reincarnation palm. It changes with the shadow of his palm, just like the growth of all things, one turns into ten, ten turns into hundreds, and hundreds turn into thousands. Xiao Yunfan was immediately dazzled, his ears were buzzing, and the shadows of his palms were flying towards him, as if there were thousands of buildings rising up in the vast world. In the blink of an eye, it collapsed and withered again, turning into flying ashes and becoming a grotesque sight. Seeing the red flowers in front of the moon, the scenery is beautiful, and in the blink of an eye, the bright head returns to the west, life and death are confused. This move is exactly "the boundless sea of suffering".
There is a saying in Buddhism: All living beings suffer. Birth, old age, illness, death, meeting of resentments and hatreds, not being able to get what you want, separation from love. Everyone in the world has these seven sufferings, entangled back and forth in the world of mortals. The secret and subtlety of the Six Paths of Samsara Palm lies in its moves that blind people's eyes and their lies that confuse people's minds. Once the enemy's mind is led by lies, all kinds of illusions will appear on the spiritual platform, and he will sink into the sea of suffering.
Xiao Yunfan was confused for a moment, and the wooden sword in his hand slipped from his palm. When Jade Shura waved his palm to the top of his door, he froze, then shouted loudly, and Xiao Yunfan woke up as if from a dream. His eyes were blank, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
Jade Shura smiled casually and said: "Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Xiao Yunfan closed his eyes and shook his head and said: "Brother Shura's palm technique is really powerful. I am convinced that I lost." Jade Shura said again: "This palm technique The essence of the Dharma contains the subtle meaning of Buddhism. Everything that exists is false. For ordinary people, their nature is always harmed by the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, and their mind is darkly confused. Therefore, every time I send a palm or think a lie, You will have a layer of demonic obstacles in your heart, and you will be surrounded by layers of demonic obstacles. Even if I don't kill you, those demonic obstacles in your heart will kill you."
Xiao Yunfan nodded in agreement, admiring this palm technique with great admiration. Most people who learn martial arts are of the same mind, and they are even more delighted when they meet a good opponent. Logically speaking, Xiao Yunfan would feel disappointed and sad when he lost to Jade Shura, but he never regarded victory or defeat as a mountain. Whenever others were smarter than him, he would admire them even more and warned himself to catch up. So as not to fall behind others.
The two of them were both sweating during this competition. Xiao Yunfan said: "It's windy and cold here. Brother Shura has just recovered from his illness. Let's go to the cave to talk." As he said that, he leaned over to pick up the wooden sword and walked into the cave.
