Chapter 88: The Beginning of It All


I heard from Chen Liyan that Li Huaishan was in coma some time ago, and the family bought a lot of medicinal materials to save him.

Now the second master asked Li Huaishan to pay for the medicine, but Li Huaishan refused to ask his family for money.

What's strange is that Li Huaishan didn't give him money, and the second master wasn't angry, and even asked people to serve him delicious food and drinks.

Until two days ago, Li Huaishan and the second master got into a quarrel for some unknown reason, and he contradicted him.

The second master said a few words, and then the second master became angry and wanted to put him in solitary confinement on the spot.

The time when the second master returned to Qian's house happened to be noon on the day when Qian Yanan and I went to Donghai.

Ever since Li Huaishan entered the gate of the West Hall, he seemed to have a grudge against me.

He would not say a word to me, and occasionally looked at me with a very contemptuous expression.

I thought he was childish and didn't pay much attention to him.

Even when we were eating, Che Yanan and I were at the same table, and he took the bowl and plate to eat elsewhere.

Sometimes he would not wash the dishes after eating, and the Asian man would scold him, but he would never say anything back.

Che Yanan and I were placed in solitary confinement, and our mobile phones were confiscated.

We had no way to contact the outside world.

However, Li Huaishan's mobile phone was not confiscated.

He would call home every night to report that he was safe.

It’s not just me, Qian Yanan is also puzzled by the fact that Li Huaishan was banned from being together with us.

What puzzled her the most was why the second master wanted to lock an outsider into the west hall.

She must know that all the family history books of the Jin family were kept in this place.

Moreover, the second master himself had said that for a wealthy family like the Jin family, It is said that inheritance is heaven, and all family learning must be well protected and must not be allowed to be accessed by outsiders.

However, Li Huaishan was very disciplined.

He never wandered around.

He spent every day during the day in the second room near the west wall, looking through the ancient scrolls collected from other sects.

One night I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and accidentally discovered that the second master was secretly teaching him techniques, but the content he taught had nothing to do with the old man's family education.

Although I had already thought that the second master must have other deep intentions in bringing Li Huaishan here, I didn't expect that the second master actually wanted to train him.

But there are some things that I saw and heard, but it’s hard to tell.

As for what the second master is thinking, I’m afraid only he knows.

The uncle kept saying that he would ban me from my feet for a year, but anyone with a discerning eye should have noticed that this was called a ban on my feet, but in reality I was in seclusion.

Moreover, the period of confinement did not last more than a year.

I escaped from Guichuanzi eight months later.

The specific reasons will be explained in detail later.

Speaking of which, there is nothing particularly worth talking about in these eight months of life, but after all, it was a relatively important experience, and some of the anecdotes still need to be discussed.

During the first month of confinement, I still practiced Qigong and took baths as usual, but every night, I had to read various ancient books at the urging of Qian Yanan.

First there are military strategies, then Feng Shui and astrology.

Before going to bed, we have to repeatedly study the techniques and formations learned at home.

To be honest, I have been interested in things like Feng Shui and Astrology since I was a child, and they don’t seem to be strenuous.

And I have some basic knowledge in spells and formations, so it is relatively easy to learn them.

I have no interest in those military strategies, and the contents in ancient books are obscure and difficult to understand.

Every time I read those books, it is a huge torture for me.

Fortunately, since my true nature was inspired, I have become a person who loves to read.

Otherwise, just those classical Chinese texts without punctuation marks would have driven me crazy during the month of confinement.

During the second month of the confinement, the second master would come to the west hall every morning.

He had nothing else to do and would start training with me as soon as he entered the courtyard.

The uncle said that if I want to master the craftsmanship passed down from my family, I must rely on actual combat to polish it, but I never expected that the second uncle would personally become my opponent.

The scene of him torturing bears in the old forests of Northeast China is still vivid in my mind.

What surprised me even more was that the second master tried his best every time he struck.

He not only fought with me with fists and kicks, but also used some magic techniques from time to time.

Every time I sparred with him, within two or three rounds, he would destroy me to the point where not even a bit of flesh was left on my body, and I didn’t know how many bones he had broken.

When he saw that I couldn't get up, he would drag me into a medicinal bath.

When the wounds on my body healed, he would give me another bone-crushing blow, leaving me with no strength to fight back.

However, this kind of sparring is not completely ineffective.

At least after playing more with Erye, I have made great progress in terms of reaction speed, accuracy of shots, and ability to resist blows.

In addition, I also learned to use my brain more when fighting.

In the third month, Li Huaishan learned a set of cloud detecting skills from Master Qi.

After only a few days of learning, Master Er asked him to practice and chose a good opponent for him, Zhang Liyan.

Although he was bullied every day in the old family, he was bullied every day, but that was just because he had a soft temper.

In terms of strength, he was ranked high in the entire family.

His skills in magic were almost as good as those of the third master, and his boxing and kicking skills were not bad either. .

From the day when Qi Liyan and Li Huaishan were sparring, there was a brother in trouble beside me.

I was beaten so hard every day by Mr.

Chen that I couldn’t stop complaining.

When Li Huaishan faced off against Mr.

Chen Liyan, he was also a mess.

What does it mean to have sympathy for each other, this is it.

Because everyone was beaten every day, Li Huaishan and I actually felt a little sympathetic to each other.

He no longer looked at me like an enemy.

I would chat with him after dinner to relax my tense nerves.

During those days, the only entertainment activity Li Huaishan and I had was to compete with each other during meals.

"You are much better than me.

As long as you take a medicinal bath, all the injuries on your body will be healed.

Look at my eye sockets.

I was punched by Zhang Liyan three days ago and they are still swollen."

"You are not as miserable as me.

At least your bones are not broken.

I only broke the bones of my left leg three times today."

And so on.

After a period of contact, I found that Li Huaishan has a great characteristic.

He is very defensive.

If he does not put down his guard, it will be difficult for anyone to enter his world.

But once he If I accept you, I will treat you as a brother and have great trust in you.

Unlike me, although I am quite enthusiastic about him on the surface, in fact I am still lukewarm in my heart.

I only regard him as an ordinary friend and never regard him as a brother.

This probably can’t be blamed on me.

After all, I spend too little time talking to Li Huaishan.

I have to read and practice every day.

His days are similar to mine.

His schedule is full.

We can only chat a few times during meals. sentence.

Li Huaishan was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

It was difficult for him to let go of the defense in his heart, but once he let it go, he let it go completely.

As for me, I am the same on the outside, neither hot nor cold, and I am not too defensive, but it is almost impossible for me to completely let down my guard.

During that time, I also asked Li Huaishan why he stayed in the Qing family and why the second master kept him in the Qing family and deliberately cultivated him.

He said he didn't want to stay, but he couldn't get out.

What the hell, the second master had planted a spell on him.

As soon as he got near the Chuanzi mouth, he would immediately become dizzy and couldn't even identify the direction.

Going around and around, I always come back to the second master's house in a daze.

As for why the second master insisted on keeping him, he didn't know.

He only said that the second master had promised him that he would let him go as long as he worked in the family for five years.

He thought the salary was not low, and he also took care of food and housing. , just stayed.

I asked him if his family wouldn’t be worried if he didn’t come home for such a long time.

Every time I asked this question, Li Huaishan would just say dullly: "I don't want to go home."

I wasn't interested in asking too much about Li Huaishan's family affairs.

Since he said that, I didn't ask any more questions.

I remember that it was probably the sixth month of the lockdown.

One night, I didn’t know what happened.

I missed Xiaohui and Boss Lu especially, so I asked Li Huaishan to borrow his mobile phone and wanted to call them.

Before Li Huaishan came to the West Hall, the second master specifically told him not to lend his mobile phone to my Asian male, otherwise he would be severely punished, but Li Huaishan didn't care about this and lent me his mobile phone without saying a word.

Neither Li Huaishan nor I expected that as soon as I took over the phone, before the call was dialed, the second master rushed to the west hall.

He came very quickly, rushing in front of me from the courtyard gate in the blink of an eye, leaving me no time to cover up.

How did the second master know that I would take care of Li Huaishan borrowing his mobile phone that night?

No one can answer me.

Anyway, he came here.

Not only did he come, Li Huaishan and I were also caught by him.

In the past, whenever I made a mistake, my second master would wrap a chain weighing several hundred kilograms around my body and make me run twenty laps around the backyard of the garage.

But this time he played a new trick.

He first made Li Huaishan and I stand at the door of the house for half an hour, then brought two pieces of black cloth, blindfolded Li Huaishan and me, and made us bend down and spin two hundred times quickly.

After the circle was completed, the second master asked us to stand close to the door of the house.

He got two large metal trays from somewhere, and asked us to hold the trays upright with both hands.

He also piled the trays with fine things.

Glass cups and porcelain bowls, cups on the bottom, bowls on top.

Due to the unstable foundation, these things bumped around on the tray, making bursts of harsh "ding-dong" sounds.

The second master asked us to carry such a pile of things from the door of the house to the door of the courtyard.

He asked us not to break a bowl or a cup.

If one was broken, we would start over.

Walking blindfolded is inherently a very scary thing.

When you are walking, you will feel that every step you take may miss your mark, and every step forward may cause you to get blood on your face.

In addition, the cups and bowls on the tray were clinking so much that if I moved even a little, I thought they would collapse immediately and fall on me.

The first time I walked forward with the tray, I had just taken two frightened steps when a bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

I had to start over.

Li Huaishan was not as good as me.

He stood there for more than half an hour without daring to take the first step.

However, the cups and bowls on the tray were not stable.

Even if he didn't move, two bowls still fell to the ground.

When I returned to the door of the house for the third time, Li Huaishan took the first step, but I don’t know if he was too nervous or something.

As soon as the soles of his feet landed, the tray in his hand was completely crooked.

Fortunately, I took off my blindfold at that time, otherwise I would have been hit by the scattered cups and bowls.

After going back and forth like this all night, Li Huaishan and I failed to reach the entrance of the courtyard.

During this period, the second master didn't say a word, just looked at us quietly.

It wasn't until daylight that the second master let us go.

He also said that last night he created a new family method for the old man's family and named it "Walking in the Dark".

Since that day, the second master and the eldest master especially liked to torture the younger generation in this way.

After Li Huaishan and I, the third person to learn this Taoist method was Li Liyan.

Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for the second master teasing Li Liyan with new family methods, I wouldn't have secretly left the West Hall in the eighth month of the lockdown, let alone found the ancient coin in the old village on the southwest border after thousands of twists and turns
