Compared with Chen Mo's surprise, the old man was much more calm. He looked at the watch on the wall and said, "your work and rest time is not good. You should always have full spirit in our business."
Chen Mo closed the door and said, "be careful next time, master. How do you know I'm here? When did you go back to Baijiang? "
During this time, the old man went out once, so Chen Mocai used this time to do a coal port ticket. Now, the old man runs to his home in the middle of the night. It's estimated that it's something important.
"I just came back today and came to you to tell you that I'm leaving tomorrow."
When he came back and had to go again, Chen Mo's heart sank and asked, "where are you going?
"You don't have to worry about it."
"When will you be back?" Chen Mo poured a glass of water for the old man when he was busy.
"Not necessarily."
The old man picked up the lock on the tea table and continued, "are you learning to unlock?"
Chen Mo said modestly, "yes, I'm afraid I can't keep up with you, so I'll practice in advance."
While the old man was out, Chen Mo, who was told by the old man on time, had been practicing basic skills. For example:
Cut shredded meat on the balloon with a blade without cutting the balloon; Clamp the hair falling from the air with small tweezers quickly and accurately; Cover your fingers with a rubber band and pull open your satchel to practice quietly; Put your hand into the hot water and clip out the coins without hurting your fingers; Pick up a small piece of tofu with small pliers without damaging it.
Wait, wait, and so on. I dare not slacken at all.
The old man nodded approvingly and said, "good. In the future, I must insist when I am away. Come on, I'll try your hand! " He stretched out his right hand, put his middle finger and index finger together and said, "try to break my two fingers or bend them."
At that time, the old man's old hands were covered with wrinkles, and his knuckles were thicker than ordinary people's.
Chen Mo tries to bend Shi's two fingers with one hand, but soon uses the other hand. He grabs Shi's hand with both hands and tries to break his fingers down.
But the old man's fingers were as straight as a steel pipe.
The old man smiled and took back his hand and said, "our business depends on hands, so hands should not only be skillful, but also stable and powerful. In the future, you will hang two bricks on two fingers every day for at least two hours every day. "
"Don't worry, master. I will do as you say."
"In addition to our skills and eyesight, another important thing in our business is makeup. Do you know what makeup is? Is to pretend to be yourself. "
Knowing that the old man's lecture hall will start teaching again, Chen Mo immediately picked up the small book next to him and opened it to take notes.
The old man smiled and continued, "it is very important for an excellent thief to learn to disguise. Different occasions should appear in different identities, and what to pretend to be like should be similar not only in shape, but also in spirit, more like actors than actors. Actors play others, and in our business we have to play ourselves. Because your identity changes with the environment. Different people should have different eyes, clothes, speech tone, and even different gestures and walking posture... "
Chen Mo buried himself in making records and wrote more than ten pages in half an hour.
The old man took a sip of water and said, "finally, I want to give you a piece of advice. Although we are thieves, there are ways to steal. Don't break the rules. Remember what the rules are? "
"Yes. Two no, one stay and one send. "
The old man nodded approvingly again and said, "I've taught you everything I should teach. Each technique looks simple. But if you do simple things over and over again, you will become an expert. Repeat things and do them with your heart, you are the winner. In the same sentence, the master leads you in and cultivates yourself. We must persevere! "
Chen Mo secretly raises his thumb in his heart. The dry old man in front of him is not only first-class in technology, but also has a set of Kung Fu.
"Master, you haven't taught me the technique of unlocking."
"You have an unlocking expert around you, so I won't show off."
Chen Mo was stunned. Unexpectedly, the old man touched everyone around him clearly. I don't know what else he doesn't know.
However, according to him, the monkey seems to be better at unlocking than him.
"Master, you didn't teach me the ability to peep."
At that time, the old man looked suddenly enlightened and said, "I almost forgot if you didn't say it."
Chen Mo is speechless. Can he forget such a big thing? Just now I taught myself how to camouflage, but my camouflage is so poor.
Although he murmured in his heart, Chen Mo's mouth was sweet and said, "master, don't forget such a big thing. I came here for your unique knowledge at the beginning."
The old man hung his eyes and said, "what's the matter? Listen to you as if I begged you to learn? Why do I want you so much? "
Chen moxin said that you were in a hurry to teach me when you were in the Bureau. Now you picked up the shelf. Although you were sick in your heart, you didn't show it on your face. He said, "master, you can't come back when you leave. I'm learning my basic skills with my heart, so you should teach me some skills of housekeeping."
The old man nodded and said, "all right. Peeping is actually an artistic conception of stealing. It can also be said to be a method. This technique does not steal money or things, but time. "
"I have inadvertently entered peeping several times, but I don't know how to enter." Chen Mo answered truthfully.
When the old man said with a smile, "my heart has no distractions."
Again, Chen Mo touched the back of his head and said, "how can I count my mind without distractions?"
"Haven't you learned anything from it?"
The old man was very unhappy with this kind of guided teaching, but Chen Mo didn't have a good attack, so he had to answer truthfully and said, "it's all in times of crisis."
When the old man grinned and said, "when people are in danger, there will be a blank in their mind. This blank time is the most impurity free. Of course, this situation is passive. "
"Then how can we become passive to active?"
"Enlightenment."
Chen Mo stared at the old man and waited for him to continue, but the other party didn't follow.
"What kind of enlightenment? Is there any method, just like practicing Qigong? "
At that time, the old man glanced at the time on the wall and didn't want to keep hanging Chen Mo's appetite. He sat up and said:
"Peeping is an ancient heritage left by our ancestors. Our ancestral master's inheritance is divided into five stages: Kaiguang, Bigu, Tianjie, Shenyou and Mahayana. Among them, Kaiguang is divided into peeping and stealing. Peeping is one of them. You can see what will happen in the future for a period of time, ranging from five or six seconds to more than 20 seconds. The thief said... "
"Master, speak slowly." Chen Mo buried himself in taking notes.
The old man swallowed his saliva and continued, "stealing is stealing time. In one second, people can complete what ordinary people can do in dozens of seconds or even minutes. If you want to master peeping and stealing, you rely on enlightenment! If you understand, your accomplishments will be rapidly improved. If you don't understand, you can't do anything. "
"How to understand?"
"Enlightenment is something that can only be understood but can not be explained. It depends on people's root nature. One mind without disorder, big open circle solution, three secrets corresponding, these are the characteristics of enlightenment. "
Chen Mo's head was full of paste and said, "master, can you speak frankly? I don't understand."
"Because you don't understand, it makes you realize."
"Is there a formula or something?"
"You don't need a formula at this stage. Well, come here first today and I'll go first. "
Chen Mo takes Shi old man to the door and asks, "master, isn't our grandmaster the one hundred Dan Eight Generals in the water margin? If he can do this, he will be an immortal. "
"That's a fictional figure in the novel. In fact, my grandfather is a great man. Just look like a beautiful man who looks better than pan an. "
Looking at the old man's back, Chen Mo couldn't help sighing: the old man seemed to say a lot, but he didn't seem to say anything.
Enlightenment! What kind of enlightenment do you want?
