The old beggar may have seen so much wine and meat, it may have been thrilled, or he may have not drunk it for a few days, holding back his alcohol addiction, and drank more than a catty in one breath, and this slowly slowed down.
I have a very good impression of this old beggar, not only because the other party saved my life that night, but more importantly, I think he should be a good man with unique skills and justice in his heart.
If one person deliberately associates with another person, the other person will definitely be able to see it. The old beggar knew what I wanted, and he talked a lot while drinking. I chatted for a while, and I had a whim. There are not many people who know about the human road. What's more, after so many years, it is estimated that there are only some rumors circulating in the world. I want to ask the old beggar.
"Old man, please tell you something." I drank wine and asked: "Do you know that there used to be a sect called Renjianlu on the rivers and lakes?"
"Human Road?" The old beggar rolled his eyelids, glanced at me, and said, "Human Road, it shouldn't be known to someone your age."
"I also accidentally heard people talk about previous rumors, and then I knew there was such a school."
"It's a long way to the world, and it's a long way from the bridge." The old beggar's face didn't even change, and he said, "It happened a long time ago."
When I heard the old beggar say this, I was immediately surprised. If the old beggar can say these two sentences, he must know the way to the world.
"What kind of school is that?"
"No one knows their origins, and they rarely interact with the world. The world knows it, and it's nothing more than these two sentences." The old beggar said: "I have been walking around for a long time. I have never seen many things. Naturally. I've heard of it too."
The road to the world is very mysterious. Until now, people in the world don't know where they came from or what they are going to do. The old beggar was well-informed and far more knowledgeable than Fang Xiaohe. He told me that the road to the world appeared three times, once per Jiazi, and traced back from this, its history is at least 180 years old.
When the Road to the Human World first appeared, it was also buying human lives with money. The people who sold their lives to them were lost in the end. In those years, the people lived hard, and there were too many people who could not eat enough, and there were too many people who were desperate. Therefore, the first appearance of the Road on Earth bought a lot of lives.
These things will naturally affect some gangs and sects, which must also involve a lot of disputes over interests. Renjianlu's style of behavior is incompatible with other schools, and gradually becomes an alien. So at that time, most of the Jianghu martial arts families had an enmity with the world. The number of people on Renjianlu has been small, but they are not afraid to fight. As long as someone rounds up, they will definitely resist. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the methods of revenge on Human Road were also very cruel. Back then, some sect families were even extinct as a result.
Renjianlu bought lives and paid real money, so at that time it also attracted the attention of some criminals. These people may have been abducted and looted from elsewhere, and they have all been sold to Renjianlu.
"In this city of Tongchuan, there is a Tsing Yi Tower. Although you are a foreigner, you should have heard of it." The old beggar drank and said, "The Tsing Yi Tower was founded when the human road first appeared. "
I have never heard of these secrets in Tsing Yi Tower. At that time, Tongchuan was already an ancient city.
Artists often come to Tongchuan to discuss life. At that time, these people were lowly identities and were looked down upon by others, and some of them were trafficked to the human road.
I thought about it, and it's really like this. I don't know the specific history of Tsing Yi Tower, but based on time, it was the time when the ancestor of Tsing Yi Tower established a school. I think that the founder of Tsing Yi Lou's ancestors may also be related to the cruelty of these arena artists at the time on the world road. It is the Tsing Yi Lou that allowed these arena artists to be sheltered.
It took about two years for Renjianlu to move for the first time, and then disappeared. No one knows why they disappeared. After disappearing, there will be no more news on Human Road.
Time flies by, and a man hurriedly passed by. Sixty years later, the road to the world came out of the rivers and lakes. This time, they were still buying lives and setting off a bloody storm. These Fang Xiaohe told me, and the old beggar talked about it again. At the time, the two talked about the same process.
"Calculate the time, the road to the world, maybe it's time to return to the world." The old beggar sighed and said: "I don't know how many people have suffered this time, and how many people have suffered."
Although the old beggar knows this, he is just hearsay. The old beggar can't be so clear about the true face of the road on earth.
However, after chatting with the old beggar for so long, I have gained some knowledge. The more they drank, the happier they became. My drink was not as big as the old beggar, but I drank almost a catty.
"Young man, every time I drank your wine, in my heart, I always owe you personal feelings." The old beggar smiled: "I, this man, the most unwilling thing in this life is to owe others love. "
"Old man, it's just some water and wine. It's not worth mentioning. Don't think so."
"I won't do anything else. Drink your wine and chat with you, as long as it's worth your wine." The old beggar drank almost three or four catties, but he still didn't change his face. His stomach looked like a In the bottomless pit, as much wine can be poured in, the old beggar picked up a wine bottle and said: "Young man, you have learned kung fu, you have learned kung fu, and you must have crossed the rivers and lakes."
"After learning the kung fu of a three-legged cat, I have really met a master, and it is difficult even to protect myself."
"Master? Which masters have you met?"
"There are more masters in Dahetan." I said one by one the top masters I knew. The achievements of these people did not happen overnight, but it took more than ten years, or even decades of hard work, to accumulate and become a master.
"There is no undefeated master in this world." The old beggar said, "Young man, let me teach you a word. The masters you said, maybe one day, you can defeat them one by one, but you The greatest enemy in life is not these top masters, masters of the rivers and lakes."
"Who is the biggest enemy?"
"Your worst enemy is yourself."
"Myself?"
"Do you have this experience?" The old beggar sipped his wine, thought about it, and said: "Sometimes, you want to do something, but there is always a thought in your heart that blocks you. You want to do good, but you are selfish , You want to help others, but you feel a disadvantage, you want to give up, but there is always a ray of obsession."
When I first started, I hadn't understood what the old beggar said. But after pondering it for myself, it seems that there is this again
What's the matter. For example, I used to be unfamiliar, and I had a meal without a meal. I occasionally picked up a business and earned a few small dollars, but I met a beggar who was begging along the street. Seeing them in ragged clothes and food on their faces, I want to pity them and give them some alms, but then I think about it, I only have so much in total, and if I give them food, I don't have to eat.
"Old man, what you said, isn't that the selfishness of people?" I smiled and said, "If you are a person, you will have selfishness."
"So, where does selfishness come from?"
"This..." I can't say it all at once, selfishness may be innate.
"This thing is not inborn." The old beggar sighed: "At the beginning of a man, his nature is good. When he is born, his state of mind is like a blank sheet of paper, spotless, just living in the world, slowly, It is contaminated with the breath of the world. These breaths of the world gradually become a heart barrier, and selfish greed is born from the heart barrier."
"Psychological barriers?"
"Some people just give birth to a heart barrier, and some people, when the heart barrier gradually becomes heavier, they will become a heart demon. The heart demon is invisible, but it is always there, bothering you and affecting you." The old beggar said: "For example, Kungfu practitioners, who do not invade the cold and heat, accumulate every day, and say in a shallow way, to keep fit and to get through the world, but only a real master master knows that he is diligent throughout his life and is just fighting his own inner demon."
"The old man, look at me, do you have a heart disorder?"
"Yes, everyone has it, some people are lighter, some people are heavier, and you have it." The old beggar said, "If one day you can beat yourself, then there will be no one you can't defeat in this world. A little gossip after drunk, if you can write it down, maybe it will be of some use in the future."
When the old beggar said this, he refused to say any more. I don't know if this is a small chat, or his enlightenment to me. I don't understand it, but I feel that what the old beggar said seems to make sense.
The old beggar and I sat here for a long time. The more we talked, the more energetic I became. Before I knew it, I also drank more than half a catty of liquor. It was the first time in my life that I drank so much alcohol, and when it was late at night, I couldn't stand it anymore, I just felt top-heavy.
"It's late at night, young man, you give me wine, I'll chat with you, and we will take what we need." The old beggar took the remaining bottle of wine and said, "Let's go, you go home. I am also looking for a place to sleep. I am happy to drink today, and I must be able to sleep well at night."
I knew the old beggar's temper, so I didn't persuade him. In addition, my drinking spirit had already started to surge and couldn't hold it, so I said goodbye to the old beggar and stumbled along the root of the wall towards Lufan's house.
The weather is still a bit hot now, and the night breeze is also hot. Walking along the long street, the trees on both sides are rustling in the wind. The leaves are swaying, and the moon shadow is whirling. But I don't have the leisure to feel the moonlit night scene anymore, I just want to go back early, lie down and have a good night's sleep.
After walking a long way, when I turned a corner of the street, a night breeze suddenly blew, and a few leaves fell on a tree next to the wind. When these leaves dangling in front of you, a thick murderous intent suddenly appeared in the air.
Huh!
These leaves were originally swaying lightly with the wind. The moment they floated in front of me, the leaves suddenly flashed to my neck like a few knives.
