Chapter 2 Chapter two

Yuan Zhenxia saw that Lei Lao was also very interested, so he made fun of it: "That's great. Although Ah Cai's qualifications are mediocre, his victory lies in his perseverance, and he is bound to achieve great success. Ah Cai, the legendary story of Lu Dafa, all In your heart, it's up to you to tell Mr. Lei." At this time, Yuan Zhenxia said this, just wanting to push the responsibility of telling the story to A Cai, and did not expect that the matter would have a direct relationship with Lei Lao. (No matter how imaginative a person is, it is difficult to connect a century-old martial artist with a big star who has become a vegetative state.)

However, as soon as Yuan Zhenxia's words came out of his mouth, Mr. Lei suddenly opened his eyes wide, pointed at the hospital bed, and said, "What? This person's name is Lu Dafa?" Yuan Zhenxia and Ah Cai were stunned for a moment, wondering why Lei Lao had such a strong reaction to the name "Lu Dafa"? And Mr. Lei shook his head again, and corrected himself: "No, it must be the same name and surname. That Lu Dafa is not such a bear!" Mr. Lei spoke the northern Chinese dialect, "bear appearance" means bad appearance, ugly appearance, or bad appearance.

Ah Cai naturally still didn't feel overwhelmed, but Yuan Zhenxia's heart suddenly moved, and he asked quickly: "What does the old man Lu Dafa look like?" Mr. Lei scratched his head and made a "shushing" sound: "Tall, much taller than the one on the bed!" Yuan Zhenxia took a breath.Lu Dafa on the bed, after lying down for a long time, his muscles and bones have atrophied, and his whole body is short and soft. Of course, he is not as lively as Lu Dafa before. Mr. Lei said again: "That Lu Dafa, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, always seems to have something on his mind, and there is a small scar on his left cheek—oh, the half-dead person on the bed also has this scar. That Lu Dafa has sharp eyes , when he fixed his eyes and looked at people, he was very majestic—”

He continued to talk about the appearance of "that Lu Dafa", and Yuan Zhenxia's heart beat wildly when he heard half of it.He felt that what Lei Lao said was Lu Dafa at all. Going on, even Ah Cai felt it, and he called out: "Master, the one you mentioned is Brother Fa." Old Lei didn't understand, and looked at Yuan Zhenxia.Yuan Zhenxia hurriedly asked: "Where did the old man meet Lu Dafa?" It can be said that Yuan Zhenxia's question did not offend Mr. Lei at all.But Mr. Lei was suddenly very angry, and waved his hand vigorously: "It's good to know where it is! I just don't know, and I met those people again. That's why those doctors who are fart think I'm crazy!"

Yuan Zhenxia's thoughts turned, and he remembered the situation in the consultation room.He already had a vague idea——Mr. Lei was considered by the doctor to be suffering from "schizophrenic paranoia" because he "saw some people somewhere". And among the people he met, Lu Dafa was actually included. Whether or not Lu Dafa is included is extremely important.Because it is impossible for him to meet Lu Dafa's people, Lu Dafa has been lying in the hospital ward. Lu Dafa is sure that his soul left his body, so what Mr. Lei saw could only be Lu Dafa's soul! By extension, the "those people" Mr. Lei saw in "I don't know where" may all be souls!

Where a certain number of souls gather, what is it? If you think about it, you can think very far.Yuan Zhenxia was about to ask further questions when the door of the ward opened, and a middle-aged man in a white robe pushed the door in and yelled at Mr. Lei, "Uncle, why are you making such a fuss in the hospital?" Mr. Lei snorted: "Also, it was you who made me make a fool of myself in front of those asshole doctors!" The middle-aged man was the director of the facial features department of the hospital. Yuan Zhenxia naturally knew him and his surname was Lei.According to his address, he is Lei Lao's nephew.

Director Lei was a little embarrassed: "Uncle, the hospital is full of doctors, so don't call me bald in front of the monk." Mr. Lei snorted, "I only call shit doctors, like Yuan Zhenxia, ​​he is a good doctor." Mr. Lei's implication is that Director Lei is also included in the list of "doctor farts", which makes Director Lei even more embarrassing. Yuan Zhenxia knew that the matter was very complicated, so he first said to Director Lei: "Director, don't worry, Mr. Lei is fine, leave it to me!" Director Lei still hesitated, Yuan Zhenxia had an idea, and said to Ah Cai: "You tell Mr. Lei about Lu Dafa first. I'll leave for a while and come back immediately."

Mr. Lei was also very anxious to know what happened to Lu Dafa, so he waved his hands and ordered Director Lei to leave, while urging Ah Cai repeatedly: "Say it! Tell me!" When Ah Cai started talking, Yuan Zhenxia grabbed Director Lei and left together.Director Lei's response was slow, and he was still a little unwilling to leave. Yuan Zhenxia pushed him out of the ward. Director Lei said anxiously: "My uncle is old, you don't know how old he is, alas, this—" Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zhenxia said: "I know he is over a hundred years old, but his body is much stronger than yours!"

Director Lei sighed: "But you don't know that he knows martial arts, and he's schizophrenic, so it's extremely dangerous!" Yuan Zhenxia was a little annoyed: "If you say that he is schizophrenic, be careful that his boss hits you!" Director Lei shrank his head when he heard that. It seemed that he had really been beaten by Mr. Lei.He lowered his voice: "I didn't say it, those spiritual experts told me!" Yuan Zhenxia said: "I believe their judgment is wrong. Go, go to them, and you can briefly tell about his situation!" They walked to the consultation room of the psychiatric department. Director Lei said: "Although he is my uncle, my father was raised by him, so the relationship is very close──"

Yuan Zhenxia interrupted him bluntly: "Choose the important ones and say it briefly!" Director Lei smiled wryly: "I often visit him. Since... three months ago, he told me that he was going to die. But his expression is sad and preoccupied, as if he is really about to die!" When Director Lei said this, he paused for a while: "I didn't care when he said it was the first time. But when he said it once, and when he said it the fifth or sixth time, his expression became even more melancholy, so I couldn't help worrying." !" When Director Lei said this, he looked at Yuan Zhenxia.Yuan Zhenxia nodded, expressing his understanding.

Because people are getting older, the relationship between emotions and health is very close. If an elderly person has no major physical problems, but emotionally, he always thinks that he is about to die, which will have a bad impact on his health, and may even lead to real death. Director Lei said: "So, I checked his body first, and it turned out that he was healthier than the average sixty or seventy-year-old man. So I told him for sure that he would not die, but he didn't believe me. , believing only some vain hallucinations of his own." Yuan Zhenxia took a breath: "What is the content of his hallucination?" Director Lei stamped his feet: "He won't go into details." Having said that, Director Lei has pushed open the door of the consulting room, and the psychiatric experts are still there.Director Lei continued: "He just said that he was always... taken to a place and met some people." As Director Lei spoke, he glanced at several doctors in the consultation room, and one doctor said: "He said the same to us. But judging from his expression and tone, he thought he was taken to the underworld, seeing They are not people, they are all ghosts. Therefore, he thinks that his life is not long. Under the shadow of death, his mental state is getting more and more depressed, and the illusory hallucinations are getting worse." After the doctor finished speaking, another doctor said: "This is the unanimous conclusion we have reached after several observations and conversations. But when we told him this conclusion..." The doctor smiled bitterly: "You have seen the situation just now. The truth is far away, but the fist is close. We can't bear it." Yuan Zhenxia thought of Mr. Lei constantly calling those "doctors fart", and couldn't help laughing secretly.He asked Director Lei: "You sent him to the hospital for a psychiatric examination?" Director Lei replied: "Yes, did I do something wrong?" Yuan Zhenxia thought for a while, and then said: "Lao Lei is not an ordinary person. I believe that some weird things happened to him. Leave him to me, okay?" An elderly doctor objected: "Yuan, you are not an expert in this field, we are!" Yuan Zhenxia lowered his face, and said bluntly: "No one is a specialist in the human spirit, all human beings are just groping in the dark!" The faces of the doctors turned blue and red, and two of them said in unison: "Okay, I'll leave it to you──Let's say it first, and if he has any problems in the future, we will not be responsible!" All the doctors looked at Director Lei, Director Lei was obviously having a hard time making a decision, he was spinning and rubbing his hands in a state of hesitation. Yuan Zhenxia suggested: "You all insist that what happened to him is his hallucination, but I think there are some incredible things that happened to him. In this way, please give me some time, so that I can at least figure out what happened to him. What's the matter with you, okay?" Director Lei thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that you can talk to him, well, you go to understand what he said──" Before Director Lei finished speaking, he heard a thunderous sound from the corridor outside, calling: "Yuan Zhenxia! Yuan Zhenxia! Where are you?" Along with the roar, several female voices said anxiously: "Old man, you can't shout like that!" Lei Lao was angry: "Why not? It's not shameful for me to find Yuan Zhenxia!" Tell him not to yell so loudly, and he yells even louder. Yuan Zhenxia hurriedly opened the door, and when Lei Lao saw Yuan Zhenxia, ​​like a gust of wind, he swept over and pulled Yuan Zhenxia away.Before leaving, he still didn't forget to glare at those "fart doctors" in the consultation room, including his grandnephew. He asked Yuan Zhenxia: "Is there any place where I can speak freely without pinching my throat like a dead man?" Of course there are places where you can talk "with all your heart and soul", but it's very rare in the hospital to do it as freely as he does.So Yuan Zhenxia said, "Let's talk after we leave the hospital." Mr. Lei immediately agreed: "Hmph, the hospital is not a place for people, only ghosts come to the hospital!" As he spoke, he yelled again, "Ah Cai, hurry up!" This cry caused echoes in the corridor, as if it was about to shake the building down.Every door that could be opened was opened, and someone looked out in surprise or anger. Amidst the roar, Ah Cai rushed forward in a hurry.Mr. Lei held his head high: "Let's go!" Yuan Zhenxia didn't dare to ask Mr. Lei to keep his voice down. Fortunately, Mr. Lei didn't yell any more until he left the hospital. Yuan Zhenxia let Lei Lao into the car, and Lei Lao was in a good mood: "Come to my place, not only can you talk freely, but also practice Qi every morning, you can make a long roar, and the sound can reach ten miles!" Yuan Zhenxia drives, and Ah Cai sits beside him.Mr. Lei was in the back seat of the car. As soon as he got in the car, he stretched out his hands and said, "Everyone rides in a car now. In the past, women and children used to ride in cars, and men rode horses. When you ride on a horse, the sky is above your head. The ground under your feet is so vast! Do you think this car looks like a cage?" Yuan Zhenxia knew that a centenarian had his own deep-seated opinions, which were not easy to change.He only said that the car was like a cage, not a coffin, which was already very polite. He asked: "The old man lives in—" Mr. Lei said "ha": "It's far away, first go to Heihukou, and then I will tell you the way!" Yuan Zhenxia knew that "Heihukou" was a place far away from the urban area, and it took more than an hour to drive there.He didn't say anything, he just drove the car very fast, and after leaving the urban area, he said: "You can talk about it in the car, why don't you talk about it first?" Lei Lao kept talking to himself, but when Yuan Zhenxia asked, he became silent instead, and after a while, he remained silent.Yuan Zhenxia looked at him through the rear mirror and saw him frowning.Under such circumstances, his arrogance disappeared and he became old. It seemed that he was no different from an ordinary old man. After a long while, he sighed: "I... am too old, is it because this place is no longer useful, that's why there are upside down things happening?" When he was talking, he stretched out his finger on his head, flicked it a few times, and made a "pop" sound. The scene was quite terrifying. Yuan Zhenxia hurriedly said: "Of course not. I know an old man who is seventy or eighty years old and gave birth to triplets." Old Lei looked blank: "Eighty years old, that was a long time ago." For young people, eighty is an unattainable age.But for a person who is over a hundred years old, eighty years old is a distant past! Yuan Zhenxia said again: "I have a good friend, his father-in-law is over ninety, and he is still full of energy, the leader of the martial arts—" When Yuan Zhenxia said this, he suddenly stopped.Because he admired that old man as the "leader of the martial arts", I'm afraid it will make Mr. Lei unhappy——Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, who is willing to admit that he is not as good as others when he learns martial arts?Everyone thought they were invincible in the world! Who knew Mr. Lei heard it, and said "ah": "You are talking about Xiaobai!" Yuan Zhenxia will be unhappy for a while.The old man he mentioned was indeed named Bai. But the world has always respected him as "Bai Boss" but not well-known.Yuan Zhenxia had never heard of the word "small" on top of the white characters, so he was naturally not used to it. He immediately thought that Mr. Lei was naturally older than Mr. Bai.It's no surprise that Boss Bai is called "Xiaobai"! So, he nodded: "Yes, it's Mr. Bai!" Lei Lao let out an "um", his expression lost in thought.After a while, he said: "That's right, this Mr. Bai is a remarkable person. Both civil and military, remarkable, truly remarkable!" He praised it a few times in a row, looking convinced.However, Yuan Zhenxia could tell from his tone that there might be some rift between him and Boss Bai—his tone was one of sincere admiration for the enemy! Yuan Zhenxia didn't dare to say anything more - some of the feuds between the old people may have been entangled for more than half a century, so how could it be possible for a young boy to talk about it in a few words?Naturally, Yuan Zhenxia would not do such an overreaching thing. Seeing that Yuan Zhenxia didn't say anything more, Mr. Lei didn't mention Boss Bai anymore.After being silent for a while, Yuan Zhenxia asked cautiously: "I heard that something happened to the old man recently... Happened?" Mr. Lei took a deep breath. He is a very forthright person, so he doesn't hesitate to speak.He pointed to himself again: "Perhaps when people are old, they are not far from becoming ghosts, so they will go to the ghost land from time to time." Yuan Zhenxia knew that what happened to Mr. Lei recently was that "some people took him to a place and met some people he shouldn't have met".Lei Lao understood "that place" as "ghost land", which is also understandable. After Ah Cai heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mr. Lei.Lei Lao stretched out his hand and pushed him back. Yuan Zhenxia asked: "What kind of situation?" Lei Lao frowned: "I... first fell asleep at night, and someone came to push me—" As he spoke, he pointed fingers at the same time, but his expression became more and more impatient, and he suddenly said "ah", "I can't understand it in the car, but it's much easier to talk about it when we get there!" Yuan Zhenxia didn't know at the time, why it would be so much easier to talk about it when we arrived?After an hour and a half, Yuan Zhenxia understood. After driving for an hour, we arrived at Heihukou, and within half a kilometer along the mountain, the road had come to an end.But looking forward, I saw overlapping mountains, but no buildings. On the outskirts of a highly developed metropolis, with no buildings within sight, one can imagine how secluded this place is. Before Yuan Zhenxia could ask, after Mr. Lei got out of the car, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "In the mountain, there is no car, we have to go!" When he said "Let's go", he jumped up very neatly, kicked his legs, and at the same time stretched out his hand to "slap" his legs twice--when he kicked his legs, he was very vigorous, and Ah who was watching from the side Cai, mesmerized and excited. Mr. Lei walked like flying, took the lead, and walked towards the mountain.Because of his excitement, Ah Cai hurriedly followed, jumping and jumping, and Yuan Zhenxia rushed forward.Within two minutes of walking, Mr. Lei glared at Ah Cai several times. Yuan Zhenxia saw it and said, "Ah Cai, don't go too fast, there may be a long way to go, so save your strength." !" Although Ah Cai agreed in his mouth, he didn't care about it.Old Lei turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhenxia with a look of approval. Sure enough, half an hour later, the mountain road twists and turns, as if there is no end, and the destination is unknown.Ah Cai was so exhausted that he was panting like a bull, gnashing his teeth and looking in pain. Mr. Lei spoke bluntly, and said to Yuan Zhenxia: "If you are willing to live in seclusion in the mountains with me for ten or eight years, I guarantee that you can learn my lifelong skills." Yuan Zhenxia snorted: "I am too mortal, I only deserve to roll around in the world of mortals, where is the blessing of living in seclusion." Mr. Lei stared at Yuan Zhenxia for a while, and said repeatedly: "It's a pity—however, it is a blessing to know that I can't see through the world of mortals. The most feared thing is that I can't see through the world of mortals, but I still think I can see through it. It’s a pity to work hard and achieve nothing in the end.” Yuan Zhenxia agrees: "Everything is always as good as it should be." A Cai seemed to understand, but he tried his best to catch up, and panted, "I am willing to live in seclusion, Master, you pass on your lifelong knowledge to me!" Mr. Lei said seriously: "A Cai, haven't you heard? Be natural, don't be too greedy, take as much as you can!" Because Mr. Lei's attitude suddenly became very serious, A Cai Nuo kept talking and didn't dare to say anything. While speaking, I turned a mountain pass.Both Yuan Zhenxia and A Cai couldn't help but let out an "ah", never imagined that there would be such a good place in the mountains. The first thing I saw was a small waterfall, which was formed by a mountain stream, poured into a small pool, and then flowed out with a gurgling sound.It was a small valley with a pine forest on one side and bamboo on the other half. There were five or six big houses with blue bricks and red tiles in the middle, which were completely ancient. In the open space in front of the house, flocks of chickens were chasing, and several big dogs were barking when they saw someone coming.There was a black dog, extremely huge, with shiny oil and clear water, like a black cloud, it barked and came quickly. This situation seems to have returned to ancient times, and it also seems that people have entered the picture. The black dog ran up to Mr. Lei.Mr. Lei raised his foot and kicked lightly. The eldest black dog did three somersaults in the air, and when it landed, it wagged its tail and barked, enjoying endless joy. Ah Cai also forgot his tiredness and came to the house in one breath.A few more people came out to welcome them, and they seemed to be living with Mr. Lei. Yuan Zhenxia has a lot of experience, even in the "observation zone" far away from the earth, he has seen a farmhouse with bamboo fence and yellow chrysanthemum, but it is not as good as this time, it feels so real. Lei Lao kept letting Yuan Zhenxia into a large room in the middle, but he didn't stay in the entrance hall, and immediately led Yuan Zhenxia into the courtyard in the middle of the house. After reaching the door of the first room on the left, I opened the door and saw a very spacious bedroom with simple furnishings. The bedroom has an area of ​​30 square meters, with a big bed and a mosquito net.In one corner, there is a large wooden cabinet, some boxes and a table and chairs.The furniture is very large and unpretentious. Strangely, on the ground, there are many round protrusions about ten centimeters high, as if there are many cups placed on the ground.At first glance, it looks disorganized, but if you pay attention, you can see the short wooden piles arranged in a big way. Yuan Zhenxia is a member of Huijia, and when he saw those short wooden stakes, he knew that they must be training equipment for advanced martial arts. Among the Chinese martial arts, there is a technique called "Plum Blossom Pile"—although the Plum Blossom Pile will not be so short, as long as you practice the Plum Blossom Pile, the height will be the same. Moreover, Yuan Zhenxia also saw that those wooden stakes were arranged according to the pattern of eight, eight, sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, which is very complicated and not trivial. Therefore, when Yuan Zhenxia arrived at the door, he didn't go in.Lei Lao stepped in and walked to the side of the bed. With every step, he stepped on the wooden stakes naturally. Yuan Zhenxia didn't think it was surprising, he knew that he must have practiced kung fu for decades, so he couldn't be more proficient. Ah Cai didn't know what to do. When he saw Mr. Lei entered the room, he looked around and stepped in.Yuan Zhenxia was at the door and wanted to reach out to pull him, but he didn't pull him all at once.He took the first step in and stepped on the ground between the short wooden stakes with one foot, but nothing happened, but the second foot landed on the short wooden stakes, and he couldn't step on it stably, so he tilted his body and turned sideways. It fell. The ground was full of short wooden stakes, and when Ah Cai fell, no matter if he hit the wooden stakes with his body or head, he might be injured.So Yuan Zhenxia shouted: "Be careful!" While yelling, he rushed out, landed on the short wooden stake, became short, stretched out his hand, and supported Ah Cai. Ah Cai was extremely embarrassed, and complained: "What's going on here on the ground? Master, you are not afraid of getting up at night and tripping over these logs?" At this moment, Mr. Lei was sitting by the bed.Seeing this and other situations, I laughed out loud—sometimes the old man is like a child, a little thing can be entertained for a long time.Seeing Mr. Lei so happy, Ah Cai also forgot his embarrassment and grinned. Mr. Lei laughed for a while, and then yelled, but he didn't hear what he yelled, and two people appeared at the door.Pointing at Ah Cai, Mr. Lei said to the two people: "This is Ah Cai, he will learn kung fu from me here. Take him to look around first, and tell him the rules here!"
