Du Renlong felt more and more that his son was not his biological son. Although he was only a general, his martial arts and martial arts skills were not praised by anyone in Xiangxi. But his son was not doing his job all day long.
People say that the Taoist priests who help others pretend to be gods and ghosts can only be rich for three generations. It seems that the Du family's family fortune will be difficult for the second generation. Thinking of this, he looked at the inner room and deliberately sighed heavily.
His father's expressive sigh served as a strong warning to little Du Fei at first. When he was a child, when he saw his father not thinking about food or food, hating the iron, he wished he could get the first prize in the examination.
However, as the years passed, his father used this trick more and more frequently, and his acting skills did not improve at all; Du Fei was immediately immune to it, making Du Renlong not feel sulky every time, and then soon
I had gone to the unit a long time ago and brutally trained my subordinates to the point where they cried like ghosts and howled like wolves.
In fact, Du Fei also sympathized with his father. Sometimes he really wanted to do things well and listen to his father's words to study and practice martial arts. However, something happened that completely made him feel discouraged about the "future" his father described to him. That was when he was 7 years old.
When my grandfather celebrated his birthday, my father had a big banquet for guests at home. Someone said that my father had a silver spear that made him extraordinary. Today was full of guests, so why not dance with the gun to add to the fun? My father also drank a few more drinks to be happy, and then he took out the spear and started to play.
, I saw a pear wood silver wire black iron spear dancing like a peacock in full bloom, with pear blossoms everywhere; a few moments later, there was a round of applause. A young deputy general flattered him: "General Du Shen's marksmanship and martial arts are undoubtedly the best in western Hunan."
Du Renlong was very happy to hear this, but one person was very unhappy. This person's name was Shang Xi, and he was the guarding eunuch of the local silver mine. This guy was a martial arts idiot (an idiot who didn't know martial arts), but he always imagined that he was gifted.
He has extraordinary skills. He brags to everyone he meets that he was sent to guard the silver mine because he ranked first in martial arts. He always has selective amnesia about the fact that he was appointed because of his status as a member of the same clan as the eunuch Shang Ming, the eunuch in charge of rituals.
Now that he saw someone showing off his power in front of him, how could he give up? So he immediately stopped and said to Du Renlong with a smile: "General Du Shen, your marksmanship is so good~ I see you have some skills, I wonder if you can give me a lesson?"
~~" Du Renlong's heart skipped a beat and thought, "I forgot that this grandson is here. This guy is narrow-minded. He competed with the "Three Eagles of Xiangxi" in the arena a few days ago. The boss Bald Eagle has an upright temperament and is very agile in his attacks.
He was kicked until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. As a result, he became furious and insisted that someone had hurt someone with a hidden weapon. He also ordered his crossbow team to shoot him into a sieve. He also put the second and third children under house arrest and forced them to follow him again.
In the martial arts competition, the second brother, Vulture, gave in and deliberately let him win, but he was still executed. The reason for the execution was: This man had the name of a warrior but had the style of a warrior, so he deserved to die! The third brother, Guiying, was in trouble and couldn't fight.
Even if I give in, what should I do? So I pretend to be crazy, my hair is disheveled, I don’t sleep or eat, and I yell. Shang Yan is not stupid, and he still insists on executing him. At this time, Du Renlong, who is half a man in the world, can’t stand it anymore.
, so he begged for mercy for him. Guiying only saved his life after his hamstring was broken.
At this time, Du Renlong's father stood up: "Eunuch Shang, today is my birthday, so it is not easy to compete in martial arts. Don't I know what little dogs are capable of? How can I compare with you~"
"Do you also think that my martial arts skills are just a boast? Hey, whatever, who am I? I'm just a guard eunuch. No wonder no one takes me seriously."
As soon as these words came out, the brightly lit hall filled with guests was filled with cries of crows. Du Renlong had no choice but to fight. He knew very well that if he hit Eunuch Shang, his whole family would be doomed. Shang Ming, the backstage official of Shang Ming, was the Chief of Ceremonies.
Eunuch, he reviewed some of the memorials of the ministers. If you offend him, you will be on the road to heaven and earth. Yes, you must not hit him, but you can't let it be too obvious, otherwise the whole family will die.
So, Du Renlong, the "Eight-Eyed Silver Snake" who had once been surrounded by hundreds of enemy troops and was still able to fight his way out, and who was famous in black and white in western Hunan, trembled for the first time. What made him tremble was that the person who made him tremble was a loser.
. A waste with a high position, arrogance and domineering, and a thirst for murder. This process was quite uncomfortable, because Shang Xun's martial arts was too low. Du Renlong tried his best to trick him and even sold a few flaws, but he couldn't catch it. His reaction
It seems to be a few beats slower than normal people~~ Dozens of rounds have passed, and the master known as the number one in the field has already collapsed out of breath and almost tired. Du Renlong is so anxious that he can't hide his heart.
Just taking a few hundred punches in my hard qigong eyeballs would be like being bitten by a flea. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Shang seemed to be in despair and had no intention of attacking anymore. He was just breathing heavily on the spot. At this time, Du Renlong suddenly had an idea.
He collapsed on the ground: "Hold on~~ I~~~'s internal strength is exhausted~ I can't hold on any longer! What a trick, father-in-law!" As he spoke, he spit out the blood from the tip of his tongue that he had just bitten. Eunuch Shang just regained his breath: "Yeah
~~~Able to face each other~~Fight with me for dozens of~~rounds, you can be considered the number one person in Xiangxi! Huhu~oh (gasp)~" Du Renlong suppressed his nausea and knelt down to express his thanks. When he was sweating profusely
When he raised his head, he found his son in the crowd looking at him; he felt very uncomfortable. It was the first time he looked at his son from such a low perspective.
Is this the way to survive in the officialdom? Du Fei knew that his father could actually kill that demon with a fart, but the consequences would be serious, so serious that he would rather lose face in front of himself and his relatives and friends. Oh, it's so boring.
If a family of officials is like this, how can an ordinary family survive?
As usual, Du Fei would get up every morning and pretend to read a book and play with a gun a few times. As soon as his father left, he would sneak out to the nearby Huiqing Temple, where he would have meditation with the few Taoist priests, and sometimes discuss some alchemy and medicine making.
Things like that. There is an old Taoist priest named Sanzheng in the temple. He is away from home nine out of ten days and wanders around. The other day he returns home and falls asleep. To be honest, Du Fei has never seen the old Taoist priest awake.
.One day, when Du Fei was discussing with a young Taoist priest how to refine more effective Dali Pills, he suddenly heard someone shouting in panic: "Master is back!" "Come back when you are back~ Why are you shouting?"
It’s like killing a pig~~~" Du Fei muttered and walked into the yard.
I saw the old Taoist priest being supported by two Taoist boys, with blood stains all over his body. The originally untidy Taoist robe became even more filthy, his bronze face became much whiter, and even the fragrant leaf crowns were scattered on the ground.
There, a hand full of scars was holding a box tightly.
It seemed that something had happened. Du Fei looked to see what was going on, but was stopped by the Taoist boy at the door: "Master has an order, no one can go in!" This stimulated Du Fei's curiosity even more. Originally he just wanted to see the old Taoist leader's injury.
How can we say goodbye and then say goodbye? This makes the box in the old Taoist master's hand even more mysterious, making Du Fei's heart uneasy like a kitten scratching his head. In the middle of the night, Du Fei tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
So he climbed over the wall skillfully and prepared to find out.
He had never been to Huiqingguan at night, and the mountain roads he was usually familiar with had somehow become strange and strange. He remembered that Taoist friends in Guanli had said that this mountain is called Gushan, because there are no other mountains, only bare mountains.
It is named after a mountain. There is no other road to this mountain, only a gravel path leading directly into the temple. The back of the mountain is as steep as a knife. Walking on the road he is most familiar with, he feels that everything is different.
There were many eyes staring at him. I didn't know what kind of bird was calling on a dead tree. The sound was very special, like a wicked smile. Du Fei heard his father say that it was a night owl laughing. There is an old saying: "Don't be afraid of a night owl.
, just afraid of night owls laughing." If anyone hears it smiling at you, it means that the people around you are going to be in a bloody disaster. He began to hesitate. Everyone actually has animal-like intuition, but many, many people are not willing to believe it.
His own feeling. But this time Du Fei believed it, because he seemed to see a few figures shaking vaguely in the distance. He didn't dare to think too much, and immediately hid behind a rock. After a while, about six or seven people appeared.
People dressed as farmers passed by. They were not in a hurry, as if they had just harvested wheat from the field and passed by in groups. It was not obvious that they were any different from ordinary farmers. But Du Fei felt that
There was a deep cold in his heart, and he was shivering for some reason. He accidentally lifted a small stone on his foot. These people, like puppets on strings, stopped their movements very neatly. They slowly~
From where Du Fei was hiding, it seemed that it was very difficult for them to twist their necks. The moonlight shone on their faces, their faces were pale and bloody. What made Du Fei even more frightened was that they
The eyes were all turned white with no pupils; and all of them had stiff smiles on their faces~~~ Suddenly, a badger appeared from the bushes not far away. Badgers are very strange animals.
They are the size of wild dogs. They run away when they see people during the day, but are not afraid of people at night. Sometimes they will follow passers-by. The usual method of dealing with wild dogs (pretending to bend down to pick up stones) does not work for them. This badger seems to be the same.
Feeling that it was in danger, he ran away as fast as he could as soon as it showed its head. Those inhuman guys didn't seem to be interested in chasing it, so they walked away silently with square steps.
Du Fei lay down behind the rock for a long time before he came out. He wanted to go home immediately and go back to bed and then treat it as a dream and stop thinking about it the next day. He really hoped that this was a dream; but he slapped his face swollen.
I haven't woken up yet. What should I do? Are those guys far away when I go down the mountain? What will happen when I go up the mountain? Maybe there is blood all over the ground. Because those guys don't seem to be reasonable people.
With such a commotion, just like his father Du Renlong often said, don't cause trouble if it's nothing, and don't be afraid of trouble if you do.
The only option was to bite the bullet and go up the mountain to find out.
It took Du Fei several times longer than usual to arrive at Huiqing Temple. He saw a few locust trees in front of the temple with their branches and leaves fluttering in the wind, as if they were also excited about this unusual night. The green door was tightly closed.
.
It's too quiet.
It was so quiet that Du Fei felt that knocking on the door was a very dangerous move. He had to use his best skill of "climbing over the wall". This was not something he could practice in a day. When he was very young, he could climb over the courtyard wall as high as a person and sneak away.
Go out to play. When he was older, he would always run out of the house two or three times when his father picked up the baguette, which astonished even his father, who was highly skilled in martial arts (he did not understand Qing Gong).
There was no blood, no corpses, no mess as imagined. There were a few light oil lamps on the neat courtyard, everything was so indifferent, so calm. He even heard someone snoring. The snores came and went, as if they were mocking a certain nerve.
Nervous people. It seems that I am overthinking it. Those people may be blind people who got lost and walked together. But their weird smiles make Du Fei's hair stand on end when he thinks about it. Now that they are here, they will not stop doing anything.
Take a look at what's on sale in that box.
The old Taoist priest's house was at the deepest part of the Taoist temple. The lights were on. Du Fei was watching when he suddenly heard someone in the house say: "Stop wandering around outside, boy!"
Okay, I'm sorry. Let's go in. It looks like nothing will happen. The worst thing is that I like to worship gods at night, or sleepwalk here. How can I be scalded by Du Fei, who is already dead?
The strange thing is that there is no one in the house.
He suppressed his panic and said, "Master Taoist, considering your age, you still like to play hide-and-seek like us kids?"
No one answered. Only the locust trees outside were dancing wildly.
"I forgot something in the temple, I'll come back and get it." Du Fei suddenly thought of a better excuse. Then he felt something was wrong: When did the old Taoist priest's voice become so shrill?
"Come in quickly, the old Taoist priest is coming back from going to the toilet! I'm under the bed!"
Du Fei walked to the bed full of doubts, only to hear someone coughing outside, and the old Taoist priest came back.
He didn't have time to think too much and ducked under the bed. Under the bed, apart from a pair of smelly boots, there was also a gray box. Oh my God~~ The box can talk, I won't be surprised by anything that happens next. Also
, this old guy doesn’t know how to hang his shoes out! Du Fei thought angrily, covering his nose.
The old Taoist priest entered the room and lay down on the bed without saying a word, further squeezing Du Fei's space. A sound like someone sighing came from the box. Duan Fei touched the box with his hand, and there were three words on the box:
