Chapter 27 The Eight Outer Doors
"Is this Zheng Banqiao's "Orchid Bamboo and Stone Picture"?"
When Qin Feng's eyes swept over the painting hanging on the desk, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He quickly walked forward a few steps and almost pressed his face on the painting.
"That's right, it's Zheng Banqiao's "Orange Bamboo and Stone Picture". Lao Xia, where did you get this treasure?"
After observing for a long time, Qin Feng reluctantly withdrew his gaze. The painting outlined the abrupt rocks with simple brush tips, and a small axe was used to cut the wrinkles across the entire hard and thin stone tucked, and the slightest appearance suddenly appeared.
The bamboo pole on the painting is so thin, but it is not weak, and the bamboo leaves are few and plump, and it is green and rich. One stick is built to the sky and the ground, while the other bamboos are intertwined, with different shapes, such as virtual and solid, thick and thin, high and low, and far and near.
Zheng Banqiao is an inscription that is necessary for every painting. The calligraphy in this painting is unique, free and free, and his calligraphy is vigorous. Qin Feng followed his father to practice calligraphy when he was five years old. Even though he has no conditions in recent years, he can still see the good or bad.
"Do you know Zheng Banqiao?" Old Man Xia, who was originally sitting on the Grand Master's chair, couldn't sit still anymore. He originally thought that Qin Feng was talented, but now it seems that he had just found a treasure.
Qin Feng turned around and said honestly: "I... I have heard people mention it, and I have seen this painting, but it is in the picture album. Is this painting true or false?"
Mr. Liu came from a scholarly family and could be called a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. The ancient literati he admired the most was Zheng Banqiao. He wrote "rarely confused" in one hand and could be fake and real.
Out of his own preference, when the old man talked about calligraphy and paintings for Qin Feng, he naturally turned to Zheng Banqiao. The album Qin Feng mentioned was an album of the complete collection of calligraphy and paintings published by Taidao.
"Nonsense, can the things I'm hanging be fake?"
Old Man Xia seemed to have been insulted and his eyes glared again, "What is this painting? I think it was "The Five Ox Pictures of the Tang Dynasty" and "The River During the Qingming Festival". I just played with it casually, this painting is nothing!"
Speaking of this, the old man seemed to suddenly think of something, calmed down, waved his hand, and said with a self-deprecating look: "What are you talking about? Boy, I won't go around in circles with you. I want to accept you as a disciple to pass on my robes, are you going to be a disciple?"
As he spoke, Old Man Xia sat upright and his face became serious. There seemed to be an indescribable pressure around him, and there was no point in the old farmer's appearance before.
"Old Xia, I won't learn your thing. If I do this, I will lose all my face."
Qin Feng shook his head. Although he had never heard his parents mention grandparents in his memory, Qin Feng knew that both parents were teachers. He must have a good family background. If he became a thief, then Qin Feng would really have no face to meet his "dead" parents.
The old man looked at Qin Feng with fun and asked, "Which is my profession?"
"Aren't you just an fitter?" Qin Feng stretched out his two fingers and gestured in his pocket to steal his wallet, with a look of contempt.
From the detention center to the discipline center, Qin Feng has been detained for several months. In these two places, there are two most despised prisoners.
One is a rapist. Almost all prisoners who come in for this crime will be beaten first. They have a very low status in prison. Not to mention criminals, even the discipline is not good to them.
And one kind is thieves, and they are also rats crossing the street... Everyone shouted to beat them. Of course, the famous thief kings in the early years were not in this ranks, and those were already bigwigs with status in the world.
"Fasting is different from doing it. I'm a Baylor after all..."
Old Man Xia seemed to realize that he had missed his mouth, and sighed and said, "What I want to teach you covers the skills of the eight corps outside the world, and it is not limited to stealing...
And then again, those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquis, and those who steal the sect will not be useless. If there was no Master Kongzi, then Wu Zetian would not be able to sit firmly!"
"You...what were you saying? I don't understand!"
Although Qin Feng was smart, he was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. He even involved Wu Zetian, which made him confused.
"Okay, I'll tell you what the Bajie means first. Now there are not many people who know these...."
The old man stood up, picked up the boiled kettle on the stove behind the door, made a pot of tea for himself, took out his long cigarette pole, and put a bag of cigarettes, then said: "The Bajie, outside the 360 rows of ancient times, was not among the regular businessmen, nor were workers, peasants, soldiers, scholars and businessmen, but there were people, there were Bajie..."
Old Man Xia didn't speak loudly, but what he said was something Qin Feng had never heard of. No one expected that on such a quiet spring morning, a boy was brought into the world.
The so-called eight industries outside the world are divided into eight partial industries: golden dots, beggars, loud horses, thieves, backfighting, walking on the mountain, leading fire, and collecting water.
There is a collective name for the eight industries, called "Five Elements and Three Families", the golden dot is a fortune teller, the horse is a robbery, the back-and-fight is a tomb robbery, the mountain is a fraud, the fire is a witch, and the water is a official prostitute.
There seem to be only eight industries, but in fact, these eight zodiacs almost cover all the minor zodiacs in the world. From ancient times to the present, almost all the zodiac schools in the world are inseparable from them.
Among the eight external corporations, the biggest and always-present is naturally the thief. Many transactions in the world that have no capital can be classified as thief.
Whether it is flying thieves who have traveled over a hundred households, or the bandits who occupy one side, pull rods and flags, or even gold-touching warlocks who dig graves and graves, these are all considered thieves.
The most mysterious one among the outer eight dynasties is Qianmen. According to ancient legend, Qianmen was established by Fuxi, the ancestor who deduced the Eight Trigrams. He created the three skills of Qianmen. He originally aimed to save suffering, but was turned into a means of intrigue by people.
Thousands of... can also be called fraud, including "fraud", "sex fraud", "fraud", "caught fraud", "deception", "traitorous fraud", "pretending fraud", "scam fraud", "scam fraud", etc.
In Dashang Beach more than half a century ago, scams were the most popular. Many people who first arrived there were often sold and helped people count money, creating a deformed and prosperous society.
In addition to the Thousand Gate Stealing Sect, such as the red handkerchief that makes a living by acting tricks, the magical tune that pretends to be a ghost, and the mechanical door of the wooden ox and the horse, have gradually declined.
There are only two other sects, and they are still prosperous. The first one is of course the Orchid Sect.
The industry of selling sex has a long history that can be traced back to the matriarchal society. Although it is despised, no matter how the previous imperial court or modern government suppressed it, no matter how the world evaluates it, the industry of orchids has been booming.
As for the last sect that remains in the world, it is a bit far away from the lives of ordinary people, but it is the bloodiest and the most international life-seeking sect so far.
The founder of the Scholar Sect is Zhu Zhuo and Yaoli. These two famous assassins who were earlier than Jing Ke have been respected as ancestors by the Scholar Scholar for thousands of years.
But before the life-seeking school, it was not the concept of money for life. Whether it was Zhengzhu, Yaoli, Jing Ke, Wuming, Bairen, these famous assassins in history, all of them worked for their great cause with the belief of serving the people and the world, knowing that "a hero will never return once he leaves."
The life-seeking sect eventually turned into a situation where people took money and took lives for others, which was entirely caused by the early days of Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, who issued an order to kill the eight foreign leaders in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
The most famous modern scholar in the Scholar Sect is also familiar to everyone. He is the only one who can make Du Yuesheng apologize and apologize and make Mr. Jiang sleepless at night.
"Lao Xia, why are you telling me this?"
When Qin Feng heard Old Man Xia talk about this, he suddenly interrupted him and said, "It's not before liberation. What you said is no longer possible, and what does this have to do with me?"
"You guys finished listening to me!"
The old man Xia, who was talking excitedly, glared at Qin Feng angrily, and then said, "The eight outer sects originally did their own things, but in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, and things changed...
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a man from the world, and once entered the monk's sect and became a hero. He knew the harm of the people from the world to the rule of the court, so after becoming emperor, he eliminated the eight other sects.
The butcher's knife was raised on his head, so these people in the martial arts world naturally refused to poke the neck. Unfortunately, although they each had their own skills, a loose sand could not resist the imperial army. After the killings, the eight outer gates suffered heavy casualties!
Later, a master from Qianmen came out and integrated the eight outer gates, from open to dark, and passed the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. It was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that he recovered.
In order to thank this expert, the outer eight sects jointly recommended him as the chief sect leader. From then on, the outer eight sects set up another main sect, which was specially responsible for obeying the orders of the sect leader. As long as the sect leader gives orders, each sect must be respected, and those who violate it will be punished...
The iron beggar Wu Liuqi in the early Qing Dynasty was the leader of the outer eight sects. However, after Wu Liuqi, the number of people in the main sect has withered, and no strong figures have emerged.
By the Qianlong period, the main sect had already died in name only, and each sect returned to the situation where they fought each other before the Ming Dynasty. However... the inheritance has been continued and has not been cut off!"
Speaking of this, Old Man Xia held his mouth and stared at Qin Feng with his eyes tightly. He believed that with Qin Feng's intelligence, he could hear what he wanted to express in his words.
