What is Jianghu? You will definitely say, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!" . It's a good idea, but it's not right. Today I will tell you a story about Jianghu.
People often say that there are eight rivers and lakes, and this gate is also called Eight Rivers and Lakes. What's Eight Doors? Let me elaborate. The first of the eight doors is the amazing door (fortune telling), followed by the exhausted door (selling medicine and practicing medicine), the wandering door (traveling and juggling), the book door (robbing tombs and antiques), the air door (feng shui), the fire door (keeping in good health), the unique door (seeking power and promotion) and the Yao door (begging and wandering). The story we are telling today is related to this shocking and important door.
In Tianjin Wei, there is a three-bordered and eight-door people gathered here all the year round, making this three-bordered area the most prosperous and lively place in Tianjin. It's really a small Jianghu.
Anyway, one day, a young man came and wandered around the street with a bag on his back. The young man looked around and finally set off in this clearing. As soon as his luggage was unpacked, he knew on the way that he was a fortune teller.
The young man is not bad. That guy has become round and sticky since he entered the stage (in Jianghu jargon, sects call it "round and sticky" to attract passers-by), and he comes as soon as he opens his mouth (when recruiting people). Listen to him: this Tianjin Wei, there are so many others. A very rich man. He runs all over the street. However, as the saying goes, "Happiness is always dangerous". Today everyone is rich or expensive, but tomorrow, it's hard to say. The villain Li has no other skills, but he has a unique ability to predict the future. I'm new here today. I hope you can be perfect and let the little guys show me.
As soon as he said this, people in the street immediately gathered around to see how he predicted the future.
Seeing all the people gathered around, the young man immediately continued: although there are not many people around here, there are really many things inside. I can know what you are thinking with my eyes, and I can tell you what you are thinking with my fingers. No, I can see that some people in the crowd have patients at home and some people are about to go to court. I'm a novice in the treasure land. In order to establish and spread my reputation, I decided to give you a photo for free. No matter what you ask, I will help you answer. If anything goes wrong, I'll leave at once. There are three people I won't send. The deaf don't send, he doesn't know what I'm talking about; If the mute doesn't send it, he won't say it; If the child doesn't send it, he won't understand if I tell him. See who wants to try him.
Everyone is eager to listen, but no one stands up. At this moment, a big man came out and sat cross-legged opposite Li.
"You give me calculate whether I have a wife. See if you have that real skill. "
Li Xiao smiled, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, and then wrote six big characters on the paper. The big man saw it and said with a smile, "He is a bitch. How do you know I have no wife? It is really a fairy. "
You must ask, what did Li write? Li wrote on the paper: "Widows can't marry." At first glance, you must think that Li set up the big man without a wife. If you really want to write, you are just like that big fellow. What Li did was the "unwinding spring" in the "Golden Point Thirteen Springs". "Widows can't marry" actually has two meanings. If you read it from beginning to end, it means that the big man lives alone and has no wife. But if you pause after the word "can", it means another thing, that is, "widows can't have wives." It means that the big man has a wife. Therefore, whether the big man has a wife or not, Li is right.
This is the surprising spring point (trick). Most people don't know. Therefore, on the way around, everyone thought that Li was a true god, so they hugged each other and asked him to calculate.
Seeing this, Li said, "Ladies and gentlemen, as I just said, that big brother just gave it to him for free. As the saying goes, secrets can't be revealed. I'll give you a photo, which is a revelation. According to the rules, you should bring a incense, a fire and soju to worship your ancestors and apologize to his old man's house after you finish. Therefore, I beg you, if I am satisfied with the photos, you will reward two and give the little one a gift. "
"Young man, money is not a problem. I have something. I hope you can help me solve it. " At this time, an old man in his forties and fifties came out of the crowded crowd and sat in front of Li.
"Eldest brother, where are you from?"
"I, silk county (I fictional, in order to conform to the back of the plot. ). "
Li looked at the big brother in front of him and said, "Big brother, I think you look dull. Tang Yin is black. Now you have to go to court with someone else. "
When Li Gang finished speaking, the opposite person said, "Yes, yes." As he spoke, he patted his thigh with his hand. Then he said, "Can you show me if I can win this lawsuit?"
Li said, "No matter whether the lawsuit wins or loses, I'll figure out why you filed the lawsuit first. Do you think my calculation is accurate?" He went on to say, "You look like a little man. Two tigers are fighting for something. Besides, you are from a silk shop, and it is the people in the silk shop who want to sue. "
The eldest brother across the street was surprised and cheered.
"As for the result of this lawsuit, I will write it on a note. You can watch it after you finish the lawsuit. If you don't come to me, I will refund your money. " Li said, and handed a piece of paper to the big brother across the street.
These two examples show that people around you are itchy, and they are scrambling to let Li calculate.
"Who put the gold here (in Jianghu jargon, stall fortune telling is called putting gold)? Have you ever visited a temple? "
Li, who is telling fortune, immediately changed his face after hearing this. He said this with the spring spot in the Jianghu, which most people don't know unless he is a Jianghu person.
Li immediately stood up and saw a man about his age coming in the crowd. He didn't feel like an old man in the Jianghu (who knows the rules of Jianghu), but he still understood the truth that "a dragon can't beat a local snake", so he smiled and said to the man, "I'm new here and haven't had time to go to the temple to worship. I hope you can forgive me. When you go out, the old coach (known as the old coach by all the Jianghu experts) specifically stated that you must not violate the rules when you go out. No, I'm going to meet the door pestle (the first money in Jianghu jargon is called the door pestle) to worship God. "
"Boy, some smart, know some rules. Thanks to God, I won't pursue this, but you have to ask Three Lai's permission to get some money from Tianjin Weisan. "
Don't say nothing, Li said, and I heard something fishy. Although this one can hold a spring, he is not a tight-lipped person. Li decided that he was the one who wanted the door. He remembered that the old coach said that some people in the Jianghu are idle and bully new people everywhere because of their understanding of spring. Li concluded that this is such a person, but he still said, "A dragon can't crush a local strongman." Li didn't want to have a conflict with him, and he didn't want to be slaughtered. He thought for a moment and said, "Third Master, I'm new here. I hope you will take care of me. As for this money, I will definitely make it up for you in the future. " I won't forget this little rule in the Jianghu. When I left, the coach told me that this Jianghu door has its own way and does not interfere with each other. Specifically told me not to poke other doors. If you are caught doing such a thing, it will be "three knives and six holes." I still hope that Third Master can help the little ones in the future, and beware of such little people. "
After listening, I know that Li knows his identity and is giving him a step down. However, Three Lai just didn't follow this step. Shouting in the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a liar. Don't trust him. I know the inside story of what he just gave others. "
Surprise business has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Some people say it's true, and they can really predict the future, such as ancient Liu Bowen and Dong Fangshuo. These are celebrities, and there are several books about that surprise. Some people say that this is not true, it is all a deceptive trick. Whether it's true or not, you can't kill it with a stick. As for the inside story of Three Lai, let me explain it to you.
There is a unique skill called "Golden Gate Thirteen Springs". If you want to be a good fortune teller, mastering this is enough. Most people only have one or two skills, and there are not many plenary sessions. The first of these thirteen springs is called "geographical spring", which is to infer the fortune teller's occupation according to his geographical position. Just now, Li asked where this senior brother came from. What he wanted was the geographical spring. In the past, the regional characteristics were obvious and the regional dividends were clear, so it was easy to infer people's occupations after the regional spring.
This second spring is called the present spring, which means you have to understand what the fortune teller is thinking. How did Li know that this man was going to go to court just now? Did you really work it out? No, actually, it's been like this all spring. A fortune teller will observe the change of your expression during fortune telling, and you can know what you are thinking through your expression. This third spring is called "unwinding coil spring". "Widows can't have wives" is to withdraw the coil spring.
I won't talk about the following thirteen springs in turn. In short, when you go out to tell your fortune, you must have skills and skills. There is a saying in the Jianghu that "the scarlet (refers to) sharp (true skill), Xiansai." Although Li played a fortune-telling trick, this trick of going out is well known, and revealing the truth between different sects is even more taboo. Three Lai is so noisy that he has forgotten the taboo. But helpless, Li He couldn't help it. He can't be provoked and can't afford to hide. Li had no choice but to pack up and prepare to leave.
"Who's going to respect the people and ask the way to Kinmen? Didn't your teacher grind you (the rule that the master teaches his disciples)? " I saw an old man who was over 500 years old slowly coming out of the crowd, holding a teapot in his mobile phone and wearing a robe.
When Li heard what the old man said, he knew at a glance that this man was not an ordinary man, and immediately went forward and gave him a gift. But this Three Lai "dog looks down on people", he is still insolent and unreasonable. Pointing to the old man, he said, "The boy broke the rules and cheated here. I am disciplining him. Do you care? " My boss is grinding me? Do you know who my coach is? Fu Song, do you know each other? His old man's house and the Eight-door (Eight-door Leader) Jiangxia have been friends for many years! "
Hearing this, the old man smiled: "Oh! Is it? So you are Fu Song's apprentice! Shouldn't ... "
"What not, I tell you, mind your own business, otherwise ..."
"Son of a bitch, I don't know where I am, but I still can't stop." Three Lai's words haven't finished, the crowd let out a whoop of nu scold. Looking back, the bearer is Fu Song, accompanied by an old man over half a year old. There are two walnuts around his mobile phone, especially a copper plate that knows the size of the bowl. Li's face became serious when he accidentally saw this coin here. "This, this is not ... it's him ..."
"Dead Three Lai, do you still want to live? You don't practice your craft every day, you just surf outside. Do you know who he is? "
Fu Song immediately went up to the old man, bowed and said, "You dead old Jiang, why did you go out for a walk today?"
"Old jiang? Is he Three Lai talking about Jiangxia? " Li thought, immediately knelt down, clenched his right hand and put his left hand on his right wrist. He said: "Xiao Li studied with Li, the master of Jinmen, Henan. He started his career this year, and the old coach specially told the young coach to come to Tianjin for experience. As he was new here, he didn't have any money left, so he didn't visit the owner in time. I hope you forgive me! "
"Well, get up, you are young, but you know some rules!" Say that finish, Jiangxia turned and walked to the front of Three Lai. "You are still young, don't learn technology, will only become sloppy. It's really worse from generation to generation. Your coach will take care of you! "
When Jiangxia reprimanded, Li went to the old man who came with Fu Song and made a proper Jianghu ceremony: "My nephew sees my uncle!"
"Ha ha ha ha, this pure wind, not bad, teach disciples at a young age, skill is not small. How is your master? " The speaker's name is Li Chunyu, and he and Li's teacher have visited an old coach. At that time, this kind of "wind" and "rain" was very famous in Kinmen.
"Master has retired, and passed the bronze medal (golden handle token) to Brother Xuanlei. His old man asked me to come to Tianjin and said that someone here took me in. "
"Ha ha, this pure wind is still so cunning, knowing that I have nothing to be a good apprentice, send my apprentice! Yes, I told him from the beginning, but I still want to test you and see how Lao Li taught him! " Say that finish, Li Chunyu took the copper plate from her waist and put it on the ground. She took out a strange divination and said to Li, "You use mine to calculate for passers-by."
Here, I have to say that this dish put by Li Chunyu is called a special dish, and its fortune-telling skill is not generally high. However, this special dish has a dead rule, "Men and women don't eat, and the third child is indispensable." Yes, the only ones with plates are men, and they are all over 50. Many masters will teach their disciples this craft first, and then give them this rule. However, many young people don't follow the rules after they start their careers, and they play tricks before they reach their age. Here, Li Chunyu takes this plate out to see if Li is unruly. When you come out to wander the rivers and lakes, the rules come first.
Li looked at ShiShu food, immediately knelt down and said, "I hope ShiShu forgive me. I can't count this dish. When the old coach handed it to me and said ... "
"Ha ha ha ha, ok, get up, needless to say, I'll take your boy."
At this point, the story should be over. I'll talk about the rest briefly. This Three Lai was kicked out by Tianjin Wei for violating the regulations and wandered around. Li Jicheng bought his uncle's gold handle, and later opened a Lei Yun Pavilion with his brother Li Xuanlei, whose reputation in Kinmen was as good as their grandfather's.
The reason why I tell you this story is to tell you that there must be people in this Jianghu, but there must be rules and ethics, otherwise it will be completely chaotic. The thief has an idea, and that's what he said. Unfortunately, the world is getting worse, the rules are constantly being trampled on, and the rivers and lakes have long since become history.
