Two hundred and sixty-ninth chapters, speak slowly
Chapter 269: Slowly speaking, flowing water is traceless
Wu Yuchong asked with some confusion: "How to be patient? How to be patient?"
Tang Chaoshang explained: "It is impossible for anyone in this world to be a master as soon as he debuts. It is said that since ancient times, great talents have suffered many hardships, and it may be wise to gain wisdom. In short, it is impossible not to fail, especially for those who are accustomed to being arrogant and glorious.
, there are two things to say when encountering this kind of setback. If you are so angry that you try to make a comeback by making stupid moves, you will be close to death in front of that kind of opponent. I heard that Melander recruited the five factions of Fengmen to share bonuses, and asked me and Anzuo
Do you really think that Jie's head is a tribute to him?"
Wu Yuchong blinked and said, "Then what should Senior Brother An do that is most beneficial?"
Tang Chaoshang snorted coldly: "The edge of the knife was broken when the sharp edge was exposed. If he swung the knife again, it would be broken. If he was smart, he should learn to hide his strength and bide his time, wait for the calm, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to secretly launch a sure blow.
, now as long as he shows his head, he will be dead! If he learns to do this, it means he has matured and has not experienced hardships in vain. Only An Zuojie like that is truly terrifying."
Wu Yuchong: "Terrible?"
Tang Chaoshang: "Yes, although a poisonous snake looks scary, it is not scary at all. Everyone knows that it is dangerous. How can you walk around without being beaten to death? And the poisonous snake that transforms into a beautiful woman is the real danger. I am.
I hope that An Zuojie will become truly terrifying so that he can deal with the old gangsters from the Fengmen sect. Now he is using the excuse that he has no experts available to transfer his confidants from the headquarters to China. I will let him transfer. If he tolerates it and uses it wisely, I will
I really admire him, it is not easy for an American to learn this."
Wu Yuchong said softly: "Master, don't you think of me as an American?"
Tang Chaoshang turned around and looked at her and said: "Both your master and I have high hopes for you. The difference is that what the eldest brother wants to develop is the organization we run, and my greatest wish in this life is to avenge the past, but
One thing is common, the inheritance of Wuchong Sect must be handed over to a trustworthy person, that is you. I found that you have changed a lot since you came back from China. It seems that you have grown up. Although you were born and raised here,
It is completely different from An Zuojie. After all, the foundation is different. The principles that you can easily understand are difficult for him."
Wu Yuchong lowered his head, gently kicked the heel of the other foot with the toe of one foot and said, "I am leaving for China tomorrow. Is there anything else you would like to say, Master?"
Shang Dao of the Tang Dynasty said: "It's still two words - forbearance! Don't expose yourself, just follow Melander. Now his reputation in the world is even greater. In Hangzhou, he once held the measure of Yang Gong for a while. Many people may have long ago
I suspect that he is the Earth Master's successor. Only if you stay with him and leave a very close impression on others, will your appearance as the Earth Master's successor in the future not be too abrupt and arouse people's suspicion. Remember, whether it is An Zuojie or even
Master and I can take action and sacrifice, but you can't."
Wu Yuchong raised his head in surprise: "Master, what did you say? You can sacrifice, but you have to take action yourself?"
Tang Chaoshang nodded with some regret: "Liu Li is already old, and after the death of my eldest brother, I also feel that I am very old. How can I make my great wishes in this life false? Liu Li is mine, and I will kill him with my own hands, no matter what I have to do."
The price, and this price even includes myself, is to entrust only one lineage of the Wuchong Sect to you."
Wu Yuchong grabbed Tang Chaoshang's sleeve and said: "Master Chao He is no longer here, so why don't you take care of yourself? Just leave some things to your disciples and those under your command. I will find Meilander and try my best to communicate with him."
Get close to him and leave a good impression on him, but can this really avoid arousing the suspicion of the Feng Sect factions? What if the person who appears as the next generation of Earth Master in the future is not Melander but me."
Tang Chaoshang looked at the rare kindness in Wu Yuchong's eyes, and felt a little helpless: "Things in the world are unreal and real. Even if they are unexpected, they only need to be reasonable. It doesn't matter, as long as you can do it. Then
Melander is in the limelight now, but his talents are already too obvious. At such a young age, he still has to act like a senior and show off his status as a benefactor of various factions. This is not a good thing for him. If he is smart, he should be forbearing.
Your time to approach him."
…
In the Goutan Miao Village, Liu Lizheng advised his apprentice not to be too public in the world during this period, and asked You Fang: "Where do you plan to go next? If there is nothing else, just live in seclusion in this Miao village for a while.
Time, this is a good place to practice shifting the spiritual pivot, and it is also suitable for nourishing the body and spirit."
You Fang replied with some embarrassment: "Disciple, I still have a lot of things to do. Even if I don't show my face in the world, I still have to review my homework and prepare to get my degree. There are only a few months left. I still have a lot of things to deal with at home. I come to see you.
The old man has to return to Guangzhou as soon as possible. It’s not like I have the words “Heir of the Earthly Qi Master” carved on my forehead, so I don’t have any worldly affairs anymore, so I still have to do whatever I need to do in this world.”
Liu Li glared at him, but this time did not reach out to knock him, and asked: "Then when will you leave?"
You Fang: "If Master doesn't mind me being annoying, of course I will stay with you in Liuzhou for a few days and wait until you have given all your instructions before leaving."
Liu Li snorted: "I'm asking you when you will leave the Miao Village!"
You Fang smiled: "I came with a tour group. Of course I have to go with the tour group. I have to leave Miao Village today and see you again when I return to Liuzhou. You also came with the veteran cadre tour group, and you will have to follow later.
Will the group leave?"
Liu Li said meaningfully: "You are really a good and disciplined boy. I also planned to leave the group if you wanted to, but if you decide to leave today, I'm afraid you will miss singing songs and sitting all night."
You Fang: "What does it mean to sit up and sing at night?"
Liu Li: "Don't you understand the old rules of the Miao village, singing folk songs in the mountains and forests at night, girls and boys?"
You Fang hurriedly said: "This disciple really doesn't know how to sing folk songs. You have never taught me how to sing folk songs. I'd better leave today."
Liu Liwei said with some displeasure: "Since you are leaving, then I will leave too. See you in Liuzhou."
Seeing that Master was unhappy, You Fang didn't dare to say anything for a while. Just at this moment, the phone rang, and it turned out to be a ringtone coming from the old man's pocket. Liu Li's expression changed immediately after receiving the phone, his smile and tone both changed.
Very softly: "Oh, Xiaomiao, are you looking for me?"
You Fang's sharp ears could hear a very sweet, melodious and soft female voice on the phone: "Old madman, everyone is having fun dancing with bamboo poles, why can't I find you anywhere?"
Liu Li: "Oh, I went to the village to see the scenery."
The other person on the phone said: "Is the scenery nice? How about we watch it together? I'll go find you."
Liu Li raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. We will gather back soon. You still have to look after those old men and women."
"Oh, it's getting late! Then you should come back early."
Liu Li: "Don't worry, I won't get lost. I'll be waiting for you at the dock to get on the boat together."
After Liu Li hung up the phone, he found that his apprentice looked at him with a strange look, as if he was snickering. He said with a straight face: "You brat, why are you looking at me like this? What's wrong with you?"
Like whose little rooster stole a weasel?"
You Fangyi grinned and finally smiled: "Who is so bold and dares to call you old man, old madman? Being disrespectful to you is an insult to a disciple, I have to go to her to settle the score!"
Liu Li: "What are you talking about? That's the staff of the University for the Elderly. The team leader who accompanied the veteran cadres this time. My surname is Shui Feng in Liuzhou. She doesn't call me Lao Shui. She calls me Lao Fengzi, which is the peak of the mountain."
,Nick name!"
You Fang chuckled and said, "I heard you call her Xiaomiao. Is she a teacher at the University for the Elderly?"
Liu Li: "She is not a teacher. She works in an office at the University for the Elderly, managing veteran cadres. Her work is very light, which is considered organizational care."
You Fang was really impressed by this "little seedling". He had carefully observed all the people in the veteran cadre tour group on the top of the mountain just now. The leader should be a staff member of the University for the Elderly, a young woman in her early thirties, very sweet-looking.
She has a gentle yet strong temperament, and her speaking voice is very pleasant with a Hakka accent. Those old men and women call her Xiaomiao.
"Organizationally taking care of it, why?" You Fang asked with some confusion.
Liu Li sighed: "Her husband was an anti-drug policeman and died in the line of duty two years ago. Later I checked and found that the murderer was Jiang Hu. The last time I went to Chongqing was mainly to find you, and by the way I also wanted to kill the Jiang Hu gang.
She took her revenge, and it turned out that she accepted you as her apprentice for nothing. You have already killed her, so I thank you on behalf of Xiaomiao!"
You Fang tilted his head and looked at Liu Li carefully and said: "Master, I have also picked up girls, so I have experience. I think there is something wrong with your expression and tone on the phone just now."
Liu Li's face darkened and he said, "You kid, what are you kidding me about? You don't know how old I am?"
You Fang pretended to be serious and said: "I don't care how old you are, but I just want to ask you the truth. How old is it written on your current household registration, which is the age that Xiaomiao can see? You must tell the truth, anyway, I don't know how old you are.
It can be found out."
Liu Li actually replied with a little embarrassment: "I think when I transferred my household registration from Goutan Miao Village to Liuzhou, I changed my age a little lower, and now I am fifty-six years old. I am very old.
When I was in college, people said I was not allowed to enter because I was underage, so I had to find someone with connections to give me gifts."
You Fang laughed for a long time before praising: "You really have concealed your age for a whole sixty years! But I think you are in your early forties with your energy."
Liu Li rolled his eyes: "It's not as exaggerated as you said!"
You Fang: "It's not an exaggeration at all. Look at how you are dressed today, you look so young!"
Liu Li was indeed dressed quite young today. A little red hat from a travel agency covered his gray hair. His face was rosy and well-maintained. Only You Fang's eyesight could barely detect a trace of dark lines in his body.
. He was wearing a casual T-shirt, which was still semi-tight. His figure was very well-proportioned, and he was neither thin nor overweight. His hands did not look old at all, and even his nails were pink.
Liu Li also chuckled: "You kid, don't praise people too harshly, otherwise it will look fake and the words will be out of place."
You Fang didn't find it disgusting to flatter you, and continued: "It's true, I'm really not complimenting you, and I don't want to think about who you are. But I heard Yinghua say that the secret method can not only nourish and describe, but if it reaches the point of combining spiritual thoughts,
You can live for a hundred years and enjoy the life span of an ordinary person. You are already in your early forties and you are already aggrieved. How can a boy of eighteen or nineteen survive even one and a half moves under your hands?"
Liu Li rubbed his hands with some emotion: "Having said that, before I was fifty years old, my secret skills were so high that I could dominate the world, and I was only a hair away from the legendary state of the union of spiritual thoughts. It's a pity that both my body and mind were damaged.
My skills have been greatly damaged, and opportunities like this are hard to come by in this life... Well, I'm afraid I can't wait too long, so I hope you can fulfill your master's destiny as soon as possible, and I'm pushing you too hard."
You Fang consoled him: "Opportunities are hard to come by but not necessarily unattainable. When I officially inherit your mantle in the future, you will be able to live a long life and get lost in the inspiration of the world and nourish yourself. Maybe when you get older, opportunities will
to."
Liu Li looked up at the sky and couldn't tell what his expression was: "Oh, really? Then I thank you for your kind words! In fact, I have already done enough in my life, you don't need to comfort me... After drinking so much on a hot day
You have sweated so much from drinking so much, so you should drink tea too, and use this tea to plug your gossipy mouth."
You Fang poured himself some tea. Seeing that the topic was a bit sad, he changed the subject and asked, "Master, which class did you attend at the University for the Elderly? What major did you study?"
Liu Li looked around and said to him: "I got into the University for the Elderly a little late. All the classes were full, but I didn't apply for calligraphy, seal cutting or anything else."
You Fang asked further: "What did you say when you didn't register? Which small class are you in now?"
The old man's expression was a little awkward, and he answered in a low voice with three words: "Electronic keyboard."
You Fang just took a sip of tea, and finally couldn't hold back and spit it out. He coughed and said with a smile: "Electronic piano? Your old lady has tested my imagination. You are so young and fashionable! Why don't you learn guzheng or pipa?"
Piano and violin are also fine.”
The old man curled his lips: "I'm good at everything you mentioned. Do you really think that your life over a hundred years has been wasted? But there is no university for the elderly. At that time, there were only electronic piano classes that had not yet filled up their registration, so I could only learn this.
...So what if I play the electronic keyboard when I have nothing to do? Do you think I, an old man, should be playing the erhu under the overpass, holding a dozen secret books in my arms and playing the role of a hidden master?"
You Fang joked: "Have you gone to college? I deeply understand that the reason why you sneaked into the University for the Elderly is because you went to Xiaomiao."
The old man stood up and looked very angry and said: "If you don't talk nonsense with a kid like you, like a teacher, like a disciple, I, an old crook, taught you a crooked little one!... Let's go, our group
We will gather back to the city in a moment. I will wait for them on the pier, and you will come with me. I still have a few words to say here."
You Fang followed Liu Li out of the yard and walked through the Goutan Miao Village towards Beijiang Pier. The fellow Miao villagers he met on the road nodded to Liu Li with great respect. When they saw You Fang following the old man, they also greeted him kindly.
Laugh. When I came to the riverside and stood on the pier, the cool river breeze blew, and the sound of the wind blowing in the bamboo forest was like a rhyming song. The old man said that he had something to explain, but he stood there for a long time without saying anything, just quietly.
Watching the river flow by.
"Master, do you have anything else to say?" You Fang reminded in a low voice from the side.
Liu Li frowned slightly: "Why hasn't that girl from Shuiyin come after you?... Well, she's here, and your meeting gift is ready."
You Fang looked back and saw Miss Shuiyin running down the long steps in small steps with a red face. She came forward and said to Liu Li: "Uncle Shuifeng, are you leaving now?"
Liu Li replied with a smile: "I came with a group. Of course I have to go back with the group. If I get lost on the way, the leader will not be able to handle it. I will go back to do some errands and come back to see you when I have time. You can go to the city when you have time."
If so, don’t forget to take a look at my old man... Ahem, do you have anything to say to the little wanderer? You came all the way and you can’t let me go back empty-handed.”
The old man moved around and asked for a greeting gift from Shuiyin for You. Shuiyin pouted slightly disappointedly and said, "Brother, are you leaving today too?"
You Fang smiled and said: "Yes, I am just a passerby. Of course, those who come with the tour group should follow the tour group. When I have the opportunity to come to Liuzhou, I will come to see you and Uncle Shuifeng."
Shuiyin pursed his lips and said, "Well, don't forget, have a nice trip and I'll give this to you."
She handed over a horn. It was polished very finely. It must have been used for a long time. The surface was very smooth when held in the hand. There were two silver rings in the center of the horn, and there was a small handle between the silver rings.
The handle can be hung on the wall with a silk rope. It is the horn used today for toasting on the road and holding wine on the stage.
You Fang took the horn and put it away, holding out a long emerald hairpin in both hands and said: "I also learned Kung Fu from Uncle Shui Feng. I should call you Junior Sister, Sister Shui Yin. I'll give this to you."
Shuiyin took the long hairpin and held it in his hand and said: "It's so beautiful. I'll have a new hairstyle tomorrow so I can insert the hairpin." Then he raised his head and said, "Uncle Shuifeng, you are so partial. You taught me my brother's kung fu, but it's better than mine."
Much more powerful!”
The old man laughed at the side: "This is not my preference. If you study hard and practice hard, you may be more powerful than him in the future. Are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with him?"
Shuiyin also smiled, then looked at You Fang and said, "Brother, you are leaving, will you come back?"
The old man coughed on the side, and You Fang lowered his head and replied: "Didn't I just say that I will come back when I have time? Uncle Shuifeng is still here. I also wish you a happy life and practice singing folk songs every day.
Work hard and live a comfortable life."
Shuiyin asked with some reluctance: "Brother, do you have anything else to ask me?"
Ask her? You Fang really didn't have anything to ask, but he didn't want to disappoint her, so he thought for a while and said, "Your name is Shuiyin? It's a very unique name. Does it have any special meaning?"
Watermark looked at the mountains on the other side and the flowing water of Beijiang River at the foot of the mountain and replied: "The water is soft, but it contains bones. The water has no trace of bones, but it leads to mountains, rivers and valleys. Wherever it passes, there are thousands of high and deep valleys, which are watermarks."
It was just a casual question at first, but when You Fang heard the words, he was stunned. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart, just like an epiphany. From traveling in the South China Sea to appreciating the spirit of water, he finally seemed to be enlightened by these words. Speak slowly.
The flowing water leaves no trace, and the thousands of valleys in the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth are the watermarks in his heart. He stood by the river and was lost in thought for a moment.
