In the early morning, when Nangong Baixing came to the lake, there was already a person sitting near the fishing position.
The man was wearing a black raincoat that also covered his head in the shadows. There was a roll of straw mat next to him, as if something was wrapped in it.
Nangong Baixing smiled and said: "Brother, I am usually the only one fishing here, but now I have a fellow fisherman as my companion. It's quite interesting."
"As long as you find it interesting." The fisherman responded coldly.
Nangong Baixing was still happy and harmonious. He put down the bamboo fish basket not far from the fishermen and took out the fishhook, fishing line and a few earthworms from it.
He seemed genuinely happy to have a companion here.
"How was the fish catch today?" Nangong Baixing asked.
"Just arrived."
The fisherman pulled the pole back, took off the bait from the hook, replaced it with a new bait, and threw the pole far away, causing ripples on the water.
Nangong Baixing also threw the fishhook into the water at this time, "When I fished here in the past, I always felt that there was a little difference between me and the fish."
"What do you mean?" the angler asked.
Nangong Baixing touched his beard and murmured: "Even if I am about to catch a fish, I feel that the buoy is sinking very much, but when I pull it up, it is empty.
Just like in the summer, you hide under the shade of a tree and stare at the fish float. When the cicadas are chirping all around, the fish float moves and you pull up the pole, but there is nothing.
When you come back to your senses, you find that you didn't lift the pole at all just now. It's like you dozed off in a trance. ”
"A dream, like bubbles on the water?" asked the angler.
"You're a smart guy, man."
Nangong Baixing was obviously a little surprised, "You understand the Zen meaning in it."
"Zen?"
The fisherman laughed lightly, "I thought those should be experiences, not Zen thoughts.
It's like you are on duty, standing guard, no matter it is day or night, there will always be a moment when you are distracted and think you are at home, or forget where you are.
When you came back to your senses, you were covered in cold sweat, as if you had had a nightmare, and for a moment, you were distracted by a lonely ghost.
At that moment, you are no longer you. ”
"The so-called extraterrestrial demon." Nangong Baixing thought thoughtfully.
"Outside Demon? Are you saying that at a certain moment, [I] was replaced by someone else?"
Although it was the angler who brought it up at the beginning, his tone at this time contained some sarcasm.
Nangong Baixing didn't take it seriously and just stretched out his hand to gently flick a blade of grass.
"Many worlds are actually just dewdrops on grass blades, small and short-lived.
The Buddhists say that the three thousand worlds are actually just a grain of sand in the Ganges River.
The world itself is such a small and ordinary existence. Many things happen in the blink of an eye. Many worlds are born and annihilated. In this case, at a certain moment, the extraterrestrial demon entered our spiritual platform.
Immediately afterwards, the extraterrestrial demon left again at a certain moment, and everything was as short-lived as dewdrops on grass blades. ”
"It's a bit profound."
The fisherman put his hand on the straw mat, still holding the fishing rod with the other hand, and casually threw another rod, further than before, making water splash.
"I am a layman and don't know much about scriptures."
Nangong Baixing shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, as long as you are interested. The source of many things is just a little interest."
"I've heard this kind of thing many times."
The fisherman obviously disagreed, "Why don't you say something more interesting?"
"What about?"
"For example, some secrets, fighting and killing, I prefer to hear these."
The fisherman laughed and said, "These things are what interest people, there is so much passion and romance in them."
"Really? But I don't really like telling these stories."
Nangong Baixing suddenly put away the fishing rod, put it on his lap, and carefully separated the fishing line, hooks and earthworms.
The fisherman glanced at him as if nothing, and ripples appeared on the water where the fish float was.
"We caught a fish." Nangong Baixing shouted.
"What?"
The fisherman was in a daze for a moment. When he pulled up the pole again, the bait was still the same as before, and no fish took a bite on it.
"What?"
Nangong Baixing had already stood up, putting the fishing rod on his shoulder and holding an empty fish basket in his other hand. He looked a little surprised: "Were you talking to me just now?"
"It shouldn't be you and me..."
The fisherman swallowed the second half of his words, not knowing who was talking to whom.
Or maybe it was just a hallucination in a trance, and the devil from outside the territory has arrived.
"It seems that we are destined not to catch any fish today."
Nangong Baixing glanced at the sky, "I have to go back. I'm getting older. Too much dew like this will make me prone to rheumatism. Brother, you can continue to play here."
The fisherman watched Nangong Baixing leave. It wasn't until the Maoshan Master completely disappeared from sight that he took off the hood of his raincoat and revealed his face.
It turns out that the person who had been sitting here just now was not a fisherman, but Ren Qi.
Ren Qi opened the straw mat, and inside lay neatly his six fast swords, each one a unique weapon in the world.
There are six weapons in total that all the fast swordsmen in the world covet, and they are all in his hands.
This is the most useful tool when killing people. A swordsman who has the best sword is even more powerful.
But just now, he pressed his hand on the straw mat, but he still didn't draw the sword. Even though he had the best opportunities several times, he didn't draw the sword.
It wasn't that he was timid or hesitant, he just lacked the spirit.
In front of Nangong Baixing, Ren Qi couldn't muster the determination to draw his sword.
Ren Qi sat there, carefully recalling the confrontation and temptation between the two, or his own challenge to Nangong Baixing, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
……
It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the time is approaching. It seems that Taoist Priest Qingyun came just yesterday to schedule a battle, and today Yin Xiu is already going to fight.
Liu Banxian and Lin Hu had just walked outside Yin Xiu's room when they heard Ma Xiaoyu's exclamation from inside.
"This is too big, no, absolutely not!"
Yin Xiu responded inside, her voice urgent, "What's wrong? It's all."
"It's really too big, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, just listen to me this time, and you will know its benefits later." "Ouch!"
When Liu Banxian heard another exclamation from Ma Xiaoyu, he quickly stopped Lin Hu who was still about to knock on the door. After winking at him, the two of them walked aside.
"Oh, it can be said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they can fly separately!" Liu Banxian kept shaking his head and sighing.
Lin Hu hadn't understood it at first, but when he heard Liu Banxian's words, he couldn't help but blush.
"This... young people are indeed full of energy. I thought Miss Ma's side was more traditional, and it happened at this time?"
"What happened at this time?" Liu Banxian asked him.
Lin Hu coughed twice in embarrassment and took two more steps outside.
"We who practice martial arts pay attention to keeping a breath of essence in our blood. If we can retain a breath of essence, we can be invincible and do whatever we want.
If you cannot retain your energy and squander it carelessly, your steps will easily become sluggish and you will not be able to exert your energy.
So in the past, when those grandmasters and heroes were dueling with others, they would not approach women in the month before the ring. In order to preserve this energy and keep themselves in the best condition, they can go all out. ah!
At such an important moment today, Yin Xiu still... Well, even if he is a master of synesthesia, I think it will have an impact.
He doesn't know, doesn't Miss Ma know either? The war is coming, but..."
"What else are you doing, sharpening your guns in battle?"
Liu Banxian did not agree with Lin Hu's view.
"Hey, sometimes a string will break if it's stretched too tight.
I did hear someone say that there was a Muay Thai boxing champion in Causeway Bay who was fighting with a boxer from another club in order to fight for a certain territory between the two clubs.
That Muay Thai boxing champion was very fierce and beat all the invincible fighters in the province, Hong Kong and Macao. However, the enemy club found a golden cat the night before the competition and had sex with him seven times. As a result, when he entered the ring the next day, his feet were weak and he exploded. Leng lost the game.
As a result, the club was kicked out of Causeway Bay, and the Muay Thai boxing champion was later thrown out to sweep the streets.
But between men and women, when the love is deep, what is too much?
Master Lin, you don’t have this kind of unforgettable experience, so it may be difficult for you to understand. ”
"Who said I didn't, in Xinghua Tower..."
Lin Hu lowered his head again mid-sentence. For him, this was a sad thing that had lasted most of his life, and he couldn't express it.
Seeing Lin Hu's appearance, Liu Banxian felt somewhat regretful for his previous rude remarks.
The innocent Master Lin in his eyes turned out to be more than just a martial artist. He was also the sweetheart of a certain girl who often dreamed of him.
"Alas, since ancient times, passion has left no room for hatred, and this hatred lasts forever!"
Liu Banxian took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket. He looked at the still-yet-fading New Year atmosphere outside and thought of the fate of Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu, the fateful couple. He couldn't help but feel sad and well up in his throat, and his eyes filled with tears.
"The sky is full of fallen flowers, blocking out the moonlight. I borrow a cup from the phoenix platform~~The emperor's daughter brings tears to the flowers and offers incense~~It's dripping, dripping, dripping..."
"Looking secretly~Looking secretly~ He was in tears, and he was secretly sad with tears..."
Yin Xiu didn't know when he was behind Liu Banxian. He was also acting like an opera singer and was impassioned.
Liu Banxian felt more and more sad and sang in a high-pitched voice: "Alas, I look forward to having white hair together with flowers and candles. Who wants to see it..."
"Why are you singing so well?" Ma Xiaoyu also walked out.
Lin Hu heard the voice and was frightened by her when he was moved, "Miss Ma, you..."
Not knowing how to greet Ma Xiaoyu properly, Lin Hu coughed twice in embarrassment, "It's so fast. Brother Yin's hands and feet are very neat."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he wanted to hit his head against his head - how could a big man from the North learn these evil ways by standing together with Liu Banxian?
"He's pretty fast."
Ma Xiaoyu nodded calmly and showed the bulging bag in his hand to several people.
"I told you, this bag is very small. How can I fit such a big piece of beef jerky into it? What should I do if the bag is broken?
Yin Xiupian said that he was afraid that I might get hungry on the way, so he had to stuff in this so-called secret, limited amount of dried meat.
Isn't it just a piece of dried meat? I couldn't find anyone in the past two days just because I went to the provincial capital to find that Xiguan cooking god, just to buy me such a dark piece of dried meat. Isn't it boring? ”
Although she expressed disgust, Ma Xiaoyu's eyes were full of smiles.
Hearing what she said, Liu Banxian no longer had the interest in singing. He only felt his head full of black lines and was quite speechless: "So that's it. I thought..."
However, Yin Xiu came over and urged Liu Banxian: "There is still a section left to sing."
"You can sing it yourself when you have time."
Liu Banxian waved his hand and got down to business.
"What, are you really planning to accept the challenge from Nangong Great Celestial Master?"
"Not a challenge."
Yin Xiu corrected: "It's a duel. His old man gave me a formal notice of the duel. There's no reason for juniors like us not to go."
"In other words, you don't even have any plans to run away?"
Liu Banxian felt like the sky was about to fall.
"No, if you want to run away, you have to meet the Heavenly Master first."
Yin Xiu said seriously: "Otherwise it would not be a duel, but a fatwa."
"Speaking of pursuit, I have heard some rumors."
Only then did Liu Banxian talk about himself, "It seems that a lot of killers have come from the north, ready to deal with me. According to Ren Qi's intelligence, some of them are not easy to deal with."
"Then you said it now?"
Yin Xiu felt her head was buzzing, "I'm about to run away to Malaysia with Xiaoyu. You just said it now. How about you pack your bags and go to Malaysia with us? It's still too late."< br>
Ma Xiaoyu also nodded and said: "As long as you are within the Ma family's sphere of influence, no one can lay a finger on you."
"Don't be nervous."
Liu Banxian smiled playfully, "You are going to run away, do you think uncle and I will stay here with peace of mind and wait for them to greet me?"
He pulled out a map from his pocket.
"Ren Qi and I are planning to go to southern Xinjiang."
"To investigate the news about the Dragon Emperor's son?" Yin Xiu noticed it immediately.
"That's right, running away is one thing, and the other is to investigate the Dragon Emperor."
Liu Banxian nodded, "We also know that the Black Dragon is in Southern Xinjiang. This time, unlike the previous search for Qingdizi, we can just go to Changbai Mountain to find it. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, so Brother Gao Shou and I plan to go to Southern Xinjiang first. One trip.
When you hide in Malaysia for a few months, avoid the limelight and come back, Brother Gao Shou and I will probably have some clues.
There's nothing important with me. I'm here with the master brother, so no master from the inner circle or from the immortal capital can get close to me. I only care about how you got through today, Brother Yin. ”
"Then you don't have to worry anymore."
Yin Xiu smiled broadly, "Brother Xiong has already made a plan for me." (End of Chapter)
