Chapter Eight Between Water and Clouds
This was unexpected. Chang Sihao was so frightened that he tried his best to dodge to the side with his feet on the ground. With a whoosh, he actually dodged more than a foot away.
He stabilized his body, turned around and saw Chen Sheng smiling at him, feeling confused for a moment.
Chen Sheng said, "Congratulations to brother Chang! It's really gratifying that we met a stranger from our senior generation and that our martial arts have made great progress." Only then did Chang Sihao realize that he was testing his own martial arts. Although he was relieved, he was still a little unhappy after all.
Chen Shengyi laughed loudly: "Brother, don't be surprised. I saw you walking all the way. Although the sun was scorching, there was not a single drop of sweat on your forehead. I was surprised because I saw you on the killing field that day, although you were quick in your attacks.
I don’t know how to use my internal energy, but now that the cold and heat are not invading, I can rest when I walk, and I can rest when I rest. Obviously, I know how to reduce consumption, and I have a lot of experience in the internal method of loosening the air, so I gave it a try."
Chang Sihao looked at his eyes, which really didn't seem to be harmful to him. He thought: People in the martial arts world are also very strange and talkative. There are probably always fights, so they are wary of being too cautious and overly sensitive. In fact, do I have that?
What does martial arts have to do with you? He didn't say much and nodded to indicate that he understood. Chen Shengyi sighed: "I didn't expect that there is such a great hidden place on the bank of the Yellow River. In two days, he actually mastered such kung fu. If this old man taught me carefully,
In a year and a half, you will become an unparalleled hero."
Chang Sihao didn't become a disciple in the first place, and Old Baofu told him not to tell anyone about his instruction. Now after listening to Chen Shengyi's words, he had already guessed what Old Baofu was about, and hurriedly covered it up: "What's the hidden secret? Why didn't I see it?"
." Chen Sheng looked at him with a smile: "I'm talking about that old man Baofu." Chang Sihao said: "Brother Chen, you mean to say that my kung fu was taught by old man Baofu? That's wrong.
, I already have this skill, but I didn’t use it on the killing field that day.” Chen Shengyi laughed loudly: “Although there are great masters who have practiced to the high level of restraining the divine light, ordinary people have no internal strength and no luck.
You can tell at a glance when using it, you can't hide it from me, besides, martial arts is an integration of body and mind, I'm afraid you don't know it yet, but your eyes at this moment are much clearer than before."
Chang Sihao knew that his skill was extremely high and he could distinguish between presence and absence, so he remained silent.
Chen Sheng said: "It must be Old Man Baofu who didn't want you to tell me, haha, that's okay. In fact, he has already told me." Chang Sihao was stunned: "What?" Chen Sheng said: "I gave him a few pieces of silver as a farewell gift.
He took the ticket in his hand and looked happy, even a little greedy, did you see that?" Chang Sihao thought about it and nodded.
Chen Sheng said: "This is a flaw. If he was a greedy person, he would have searched all over his body for valuables when he saw me unconscious and seriously injured, and then walked away. How could he save me and go home? Even if he didn't turn over at that time.
He must have seen what he had in his arms when he searched, rescued me, and treated my injuries. Even if I took the opportunity to take it away, I wouldn't have any evidence when I woke up, but he didn't move at all. This shows that he regards money as such.
Nothing. But when I gave him the banknote, I acted joyfully, obviously trying to make me think that he was just an ordinary country old man to hide his identity. Besides, I was stabbed by Yuan Liangyu, and my internal organs were injured.
As soon as he touched his body, he knew that it was something special. It must be owned by a unique family, and it cannot be treated by ordinary doctors. If there was no magic medicine, Chen's fate would have been sealed long ago."
Chang Sihao listened to his analysis and found it to be very thorough, reasonable and accurate. He couldn't help but secretly praise: "The martial arts figures are really as meticulous as hair, which is extraordinary."
Chen Sheng sighed: "He doesn't have to be so pretentious. He probably has been away from the world for a long time, and his scheming has become a bit dull. And he lives here in seclusion. We have disturbed his peace and quiet. He is not annoyed or annoyed. Instead, he reminded you of your martial arts and wanted to live a normal life.
, it must be lonely." Chang Sihao remembered that Xiao Zhuozi said that he usually rarely talks, but talks endlessly when he talks about martial arts and is very happy. He couldn't help feeling sad and said: "I will come back in the future and just accompany him to relieve his boredom." Chen Shengyi
Looking at him, he asked: "Do you think they will still be there when you come back?" Chang Sihao was surprised: "What?" Chen Shengyi turned his head and looked in the direction he came from: "Such a distinguished scholar is so helpful to others.
If you don’t want to repay us, they must have moved away and found another place when they saw us gone far away.”
Chang Sihao was doubtful, so he climbed up the nearby rock hill and put his hands on the ground to look around. He saw the Yellow River rushing and the turbid current flying for a long time. As far as the eye could see, a small raft went straight down the river without any lag. As it went farther and farther, there was a faint light on the raft.
White and red, one high and one low, the two figures, like fairy boys riding on the wind, disappeared between the clouds and water.
"They're really gone!"
When Chen Sheng saw Chang Sihao's sad expression, he comforted him: "Everything in this world depends on chance. Brother Chang, don't be too persistent."
Chang Sihao spent two days with his father-in-law and his sister, as if he had returned home. He thought that if he had nowhere to go in the future, it would be nice to come back and live with them. However, he did not expect that it would end like this, and he felt depressed for a moment.
Chen Shengyi persuaded himself, his self-esteem was rising, and he thought: "Brother Chen is a martial arts hero, a well-known man, and I can't be a mother-in-law if I am with him." Plastic surgery said: "Brother is right, have you rested yet?
?Let’s leave now!”
Chen Sheng nodded. The two continued to move northeast along the road. Chang Sihao asked: "Where are we going?" Chen Sheng said: "Back to Qin Mansion." Chang Sihao asked: "Qin Mansion is the residence of the Qin family in Shanxi.
Right?" Chen Sheng smiled and nodded. Chang Sihao asked again: "Where is the Qin Mansion?" Chen Sheng said in shock: "Of course the Qin Mansion is in Taiyuan, don't you know?"
Chang Sihao shook his head, with a happy look on his face: "You are going to Taiyuan, that's just in time. I also have to go to Taiyuan and have something to do." Chen Shengyi asked: "What do you want to do? Maybe I can help.
"Chang Sihao told Master Cheng to give him the jade pendant before his death and asked him to hand it over. Chen Shengyi sighed. The two stopped and walked slowly, and the next day they came to Ji County and bought a car from a farmer's house.
Chang Sihao was driving the mule cart, and Chen Shengyi was sitting on the cart, doing exercises to heal his injuries. The injured area had been carefully treated by old man Baofu, and because of his profound martial arts, he recovered very quickly. Chang Sihao saw that his complexion was getting better.
, feeling happy. When they arrived at Pingyang Mansion that day, Chen Shengyi asked Chang Sihao to abandon the mule cart, and the two of them walked into the city. First they went to a soup house to take a bath. In the meantime, he ordered his clerk to go to a large clothing store and buy two sets of new clothes.
Chen Shengyi had not fully recovered from his old injury, so he came out early to wait. Chang Sihao washed himself thoroughly, put on new clothes, and strode out. He saw that his eyebrows were like broad swords, his eyes were shining, and his head was straight and sharp.
, the bright chestnut-like and healthy complexion exuded a masculine vitality, which made Chen Sheng's eyes light up. The two of them came out side by side. There was already someone waiting outside, and he said respectfully: "I would like to pay my regards to Manager Chen." Chen Shengyi
Nodding. The three of them turned the corner to the west and came to a restaurant. They saw four banners hanging above the restaurant, with the words "Fu Cheng Ju" written on them. The waiter had already been waiting in front of the door, nodding and bowing. Chang Sihao had never accepted it.
This kind of courtesy made me feel uncomfortable. The man who had led the way before was left at the door, and the waiter led Chen and Chang upstairs. The best seat by the window had already been cleared for a table. The two sat down, and they were all the same immediately.
All the food and drinks were passed around, including cold meat and hot vegetables. Chen Sheng said, "Brother, these are the ones I often eat and love. Just order whatever you like." Chang Sihao looked at this.
With a table full of sumptuous food and wine, his eyes widened and he said, "No need, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat all of this." When Chen Sheng heard this, he smiled and motioned to the waiter to leave.
Suddenly several shouts came from downstairs. Looking out the window, it turned out that they were a few beggars in rags who were pushed away by the waiters. Chang Sihao looked at his new clothes and thought: Yes, these waiters
I am used to being a snobbery when serving wealthy guests, so after entering the city, Brother Chen took me to take a bath and change clothes first, so as not to be looked down upon and ridiculed by these servants. I couldn't help but feel grateful. Suddenly I remembered something, and then I changed my clothes.
