Chen Hongjing carried several tanks and threw them directly in front of the crazy old man. He said angrily: "The tanks you want are all here. The rest are in Wangai's hands. I really don't know why you want so many tanks?" "
The crazy old man smiled and ignored Chen Hongjing. I saw him picking up a pebble from the ground, and after Wangai's several jars arrived together, he drew a white circle on the top of each jar.
He pointed at the circles and said: "Be polite first, then fight. Let me make it clear to you first. You can rest for half a stick of incense. I suggest you use this half of the time to recite the Heart Art. After half a stick of incense, you have to carry it. When these tanks are filled with water, they can fill up the line I drew. If it is lower than this line, I'm sorry, I will just dump it and let you fill it again. Okay, let's start the timer."
The crazy old man took out half a stick of incense from his sleeve and lit it. He looked at Chen Hongjing. Chen Hongjing didn't waste any time. He quickly found a place and sat down to recite the Heart Art.
Soon, Chen Hongjing heard the sound of the flute. It was a flute sound that could make people calm down. It was no longer that kind of noise. Since he recited the Four-tone Pure Heart Jue more often, not only has his state of mind improved, but he has also been able to take more punches, although it may have been a small proportion.
Chen Hongjing closed his eyes, and he did not notice that he was exuding a faint cyan color. Coupled with the sky-blue flute played by Wangai surrounding him, a scene full of spring appeared on Chen Hongjing.
The state of mind is like a spring scene. This is only the first level of the Four-tone Qingxin Jue. When it comes to the later levels, especially in the winter scene, it depends on whether you are in a state of mind of crystal white snow or a state of mind of raging snow. The crazy old man withdrew his gaze and looked at the stick of incense, which had just gone out.
The crazy old man clapped his hands and said, "Very good, it's time to finish the work. No, take these jars and go down the mountain to fetch water." After saying that, he hit the four jars with his palm from the air, and the four jars came automatically. Arrive in front of Chen Hongjing. Chen Hongjing picked up a jar and looked at the line drawn by the crazy old man. Fortunately, he didn't mean to embarrass others, and the amount of water was still okay.
"What's going to happen next? Crazy old man." Chen Hongjing put the water tank filled with water in front of the crazy old man and said directly.
"Go within the range of these four tanks and fight with me." The crazy old man laughed.
"Okay, no problem." Chen Hongjing quickly walked into the circle and finally gave me a chance to punch you. It depends on whether I can beat you to death. Even if I can't beat you to death, I will punch you twice. When Chen Hongjing saw that the crazy old man was not moving, he took a step forward and punched straight into the crazy old man's abdomen. The crazy old man calmly stretched out his palm, grabbed it, twisted it, and threw it away. Just throw Chen Hongjing into the tree.
Chen Hongjing flipped in the air, pushed his feet against the branches, and used his strength to punch the crazy old man's Tianling Cap.
Hey, this move was directly noticed by Wang Ai. This kid imitated very quickly. He learned the move he just used in no time. Yes, he used it in a decent way, but the whole thing was lacking. I am handsome.
Naturally, that punch would not hit the crazy old man, Chen Hongjing speculated. When the crazy old man stretched out his left hand to grab his right hand again, Chen Hongjing knew that he had guessed correctly. He immediately retracted his right hand, grabbed the crazy old man's right hand, and then used the crazy old man's body as a fulcrum to hit the crazy old man's forehead with one kick.
There was only a "click" sound, and Chen Hongjing's right hand was dislocated. He let go of the crazy old man's hand, but the crazy old man grabbed him by the neck like a chicken and threw him into one of the water tanks.
"Boy, just imitate your brother's moves. You also want to learn my moves to hit me. You have a lot of ideas, but after all, you are still a little young, boy." The crazy old man held down Chen Hongjing's head to prevent him from floating up.
When he stopped resisting, he took him out with one hand and helped him regain his dislocated hand with one hand. A small impact came from his abdomen. The crazy old man looked down and didn't expect that boy Chen Hongjing still had the strength to kick him in the abdomen.
Seeing Chen Hongjing's smile, the crazy old man also smiled slightly and twitched his hands again. Chen Hongjing dislocated both hands at the same time and fainted without even shouting.
The crazy old man took advantage of the situation and took off all Chen Hongjing's clothes and threw him into the medicine vat. He then asked Wangai to boil water and take care of Chen Hongjing before he went down the mountain. Wangai nodded, looked at Chen Hongjing who was unconscious in the medicine vat, and said with a smile: "Hongjing, you are really powerful. You can really hit the authoritative senior brother with one punch. No, you have fainted now. There’s no point in praising you. I’ll wait until you wake up and praise you again, just to light the fire…”
Half an hour later, Chen Hongjing slowly woke up, only to find a big onion floating in front of him. He picked up the onion, rolled his eyes, and threw it directly at Wangai: "You kid, you really want to cook me, don't you?" .”
Wangai picked up the onions and said with a smile: "I just said, why are my onions missing? It turns out that I threw them in the wrong place. I wanted to throw them into my soup. But having said that, I didn't expect that you kid can really do it." Hit the authoritative senior brother."
Chen Hongjing looked around and asked, "Hey, where is that crazy old man? Where did he go?"
"He, he seems to have classes today. He went down the mountain to teach." After saying that, he threw the chopped onions into the pot, took off his apron and said, "Very good, just three dishes and one soup tonight, whatever." full."
Chen Hongjing looked at the sky and asked, "It's just after noon, why are you making soup so quickly?"
"You know how to cook. Don't tell me. Don't you know that you want to stew a good soup? The longer it takes, the better it will taste?" Wang'ai walked to the shade of the tree and took out a jade stick from his clothes. flute.
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Chen Hongjing smiled and pointed to the jade flute on his hand.
Wangai said with a smile: "I have learned a lot after going through the world for a while. There are no interesting things to share during the journey. Everyone who has been through the world will have different feelings, so it is better to wait until you go out and try it. After that, let’s have a drink and talk.”
Wangai glanced at Chen Hongjing's figure, raised his hand above his head, and said with a smile: "It's been almost a year since I came to Licorice Hall, and in the blink of an eye, I'm already thirteen years old. It's time to prepare to find a girl. I have a family and a career."
Chen Hongjing rolled his eyes at him. This guy couldn't be serious for more than three seconds.
Wangai flipped the jade flute with his right hand a few times: "Want to learn? I'll teach you."
Chen Hongjing shook his head: "I'm not interested at the moment. I'll come back to you if I am."
"I won't teach you until you are interested." After Wangai finished speaking, he started to play.
Chen Hongjing had heard this piece of music. He still remembered the first time he heard it. In a small town, a woman wearing a red veil played "Seven Flavors Asking the Heart" and played it for several days. At first, many people put down their work to listen, but in the next few days, no one took it seriously. Only the children were left to listen. After a few days, the children also found it boring and ignored it.
Only two brothers, Wang Ai, Zhong Xiaofan, Liang Siheng and Chen Hongjing, were still watching. They were still young at the time and did not understand what the music was playing. It was Wang'ai who went up to ask, and the woman told them the name of the song and the brief content of the song.
The story is about a husband looking for medicine to treat his wife's illness. The two originally lived a happy life, but one day the wife contracted a serious illness, so her husband took her around to find a famous doctor to treat her. Later, Huangtian finally paid off and they found an old god. The old god shook his head and said that he could only stabilize his wife's condition and prevent it from getting worse, but it could not completely cure it. Only seven medicinal herbs can be found to cure it completely. In order to cure his wife's illness and let her have a good rest at home, the husband took the Qiankun bag given by the old god alone and embarked on the road to find medicinal materials...
This is the story of this piece. Chen Hongjing doesn't like it very much because the story has no ending. He doesn't like the ending of sad farewell, let alone this kind of ending. Did the husband find those seven medicinal materials? How long did it take to find them? The wife felt so tormented waiting for her husband.
"Hey, isn't this "Seven Flavors Asking the Heart"? I haven't heard it for a long time." The crazy old man didn't know when he came back, so he just found a place to sit down and listened quietly to Wangai's performance.
Wang Ai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Authoritative has also heard this piece of music."
The crazy old man smiled and said: "Of course, the story of this song is also touching."
Chen Hongjing answered immediately: "What moved me? In the end, I didn't even know whether my husband had found the seven-flavored medicine."
The crazy old man said: "Oh, so you have heard this story too? Indeed, at the end of this story, we don't know whether the husband found the seven-flavored medicinal materials to cure his wife's disease. At this ending, our Ganshu The people in the city also disliked it because not all love is beautiful. Later, we had a storyteller here who continued the ending of this story."
"The seven medicinal herbs that the old fairy asked the husband to find corresponded to the seven emotions and six desires. In the end, the husband passed various tests, and in the seventh year, he finally found all the seven medicinal herbs. On the Chinese Valentine's Day, he handed it to the old fairy and made it. He bought a pill and gave it to his wife."
"There are two endings. One is that his wife took the elixir and was wiped out on the spot. The other ending is that after his wife took the elixir, they returned to their happy life again."
Chen Hongjing asked in confusion: "My husband poisoned this medicinal material?"
The crazy old man shook his head: "No. Have you ever heard of the seven-year itch? Seven years is enough to see if the wife has changed her mind, and the day when the husband gave the medicinal materials to the old god to refine the elixir happened to be the same day. Chinese Valentine's Day is a day when Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet once a year. Seven medicinal herbs, seven years, Chinese Valentine's Day, some people feel love at the first thought, and some people feel hatred at the first thought. Betrayal and loyalty are just a matter of thoughts."
"If the lady changes her heart, it will end in ashes. If the lady does not change her heart, it will end happily. Of course, will this be too cruel to the woman? No, because the old fairy collected medicinal materials for her husband before setting off. There is a spell set in his Qiankun bag. As long as he doesn’t come back for a day, rebels, and no longer loves his wife, he will immediately disappear."
"The storyteller gave two endings on the surface, but in fact there were three endings. Either the woman dies, the man dies, or neither of them dies. He also wants to tell today's young people that marriage is not a piece of cake, and the man cannot The woman must not be unrestrained and uninhibited. After all, it is a major event in her life that she has to report to the world and her parents. She must think it over carefully and carefully. "
The crazy old man looked at Chen Hongjing: "Are you satisfied with this ending?"
Chen Hongkong nodded. He had witnessed the love between brother Liang Chunsheng and sister Zhu Xinyi, so he was naturally more inclined to the happy ending. As for the other two endings, he has not witnessed it, nor does he want to witness it.
The crazy old man continued: "How is it? You have something on your mind? Do you have a girl you like? Do you want me to talk to you about matchmaking? Is she the little girl from Licorice Hall? You have to think carefully about love. It’s not something to be trifled with, otherwise, you might be wiped out in ashes.”
Chen Hongjing rolled his eyes at the crazy old man: "I'm sick."
The crazy old man changed the subject: "Okay, I've finished listening to the music and finished telling the story. Next, it's time to teach you the exercises. I'll do it first, and you'll watch carefully."
Chen Hongjing was very excited. At that time, the crazy old man said that as long as he passed the basic skills, he would teach him the exercises. This day, this moment, it has finally come. Chen Hongjing watched intently every punch and palm struck by the crazy old man.
"Watch it, kid." The crazy old man turned around and came to the water tank where he had pushed Chen Hongjing down before. He punched the water with a punch. With a "pop" sound, the water tank burst open, and then the crazy old man moved towards a tree. Give the tree a slap. The tree was silent. Just when Chen Hongjing was about to complain, the tree made a sound. Unbroken cracks appeared, and the whole tree fell suddenly.
"This is Tai Chi. There is yang in yin, and yin in yang. It can also be used to exert force, so it is perfect for you to learn. Do you see clearly? Come and do a rough set and show me." The crazy old man said.
Chen Hong nodded and quickly performed the Tai Chi that the crazy old man had just done. It was not as rough as the crazy old man said, but it was a decent one, with every palm and punch considered standard. .
"Hey, you kid, have you ever learned Tai Chi?" the crazy old man asked doubtfully.
"Brother Authoritative, Tai Chi is a must-have lesson every day in Licorice Hall." Chen Hongjing said with a smile as he narrowed his eyes.
"Then can they be like me, who can blow up a water tank with one punch and knock down a big tree with one palm?" the crazy old man asked back.
Chen Hongjing shook his head.
"That's not true. They only practice it as a basic skill, but you are different. You have to practice it as a peerless skill. Everyone understands the Tao differently, and the Tai Chi they practice is naturally different. You don't want to be a human being. Too much comparison, everyone is different. Practice hard, kid." The crazy old man patted Chen Hongjing on the shoulder and walked into the cave.
Wang Ai also walked up to Chen Hongjing and patted his shoulder: "Practice hard, boy. If you really like any girl from Licorice Hall, remember to tell him secretly before he leaves and let him consider it for you." Think about it. Go home first and help you buy the betrothal gift."
Chen Hongjing punched Wangai in the stomach, but Wangai dodged it: "I won't tease you anymore, let's go cook."
After saying that, he walked away humming "Seven Flavors Asking the Heart". Chen Hongjing did not rush to practice, but continued to meditate, first reciting the Four-note Qingxin Jue several times.
Seven-flavored medicine, seven years, Chinese Valentine's Day, do you want to ask your heart? What is love? It is a matter of a lifetime, why is it so trivial?
Chen Hongjing thought for a moment, slowly closed his eyes, and began to recite the Four-note Qingxin Jue.
