The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 39

When they arrived at Duan's Village, Duan Yingchun drove the car into Duan Yanqing's house, and Duan Yingchun helped Duan Wuji move the money into the house. When Duan Yanqing saw his second uncle coming, he quickly stood up and shouted: " Inside the house, the second uncle came, and hurriedly made tea and poured water.

Changsheng, hurry up to the town to buy some food and come back with ten catties of good wine. Today I want to treat your second grandpa. "

Duan Changsheng agreed and ran out.

Liu cauliflower served tea, peanuts, and a plate of dim sum.

Duan Yanqing pulled the second uncle to the table.

"Second Uncle, hurry up and sit down. Or I plan to go to Duanjiaji with Changsheng before dark, but I didn't expect you to send it to me personally, I'm really sorry.

Come, come, come, second uncle, sit down and drink water. "

Duan Yingchun was not too polite, she sat down on the chair, grabbed and ate peanuts, and said to Duan Yanqing with a smile: "Yanqing! You have developed in the past two years, look at your vain money going home. , which of the eight villages within a radius of ten miles can compare to you?"

Duan Yanqing laughed when he heard this.

"Second uncle, with your old auspicious words, I have indeed developed well in the past two years, and I have established a little family business, but this is how to say it, this is called: "Don't look at the red light hanging at the door of his house. The inside of the flower is slightly empty. "

I also have a flower shelf here, but it is actually very empty inside.

How can this little property compare with your old man! "

Duan Yingchun shook her head.

"Yanqing, what you said is not true. What are you empty inside? Look, this is thousands of taels of silver!

Tell me, which family still has so much money! "

Duan Yanqing grinned when he heard this.

"Second Uncle, I don't know what kind of shit luck I've had in the past few years. I have caught up with this good thing. It's hard not to make a fortune. Come, come, Second Uncle, let's drink tea."

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Father, quickly put away this money, how bad it is to show the world!

By the way, I will also take two yuan and keep the flowers. "

After speaking, Duan Wuji took two pieces of silver and packed them up. After hearing this, Duan Yanqing immediately asked Duan Wuji to help him put the silver into the back room.

Then he came out from the back room and sat at the table chatting with Duan Yingchun.

Duan Wuji whispered to his father: "Father, you can chat with Second Grandpa, I'll go out and practice martial arts for a while, you guys can rest."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji stepped back from the house, and Duan Wuji unloaded the horses from the cattle cart, led them to the barn, and fed them with good grass and materials.

Duan Wuji took off his shirt, and started practicing in the yard of the cowshed with his shirt off.

First he practiced fist and kick kung fu, and then began to practice swordsmanship. After the first round of swordsmanship practice, Duan Wuji was already sweating all over his body.

Duan Wuji wiped the sweat off his face as if he just took a shower all over his body, and was about to practice again.

At this moment, Duan Changsheng came back from shopping on horseback. When Duan Changsheng saw Duan Wuji's appearance, he knew that Duan Wuji was practicing martial arts just now.

Duan Changsheng said distressedly: "Damn, look at this hot day, why don't you practice at all, wait until the weather cools down and practice again."

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Brother, you don't understand this! As the saying goes, if you want to practice martial arts, don't be afraid of hardships, and if you are afraid of hardships, don't practice martial arts. You say brother, I chose this path, what can I do?
Well, brother, tie up the horses in the barn, and go home and entertain your guests.Don't let Second Grandpa choose our family's gift. "

Duan Changsheng smiled.

"Bitch, take your time practicing martial arts, don't get tired, brother loves you so much!"

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother, I know, it's okay, you go quickly. I won't practice for a while. You go there quickly."

Duan Changsheng tied up the horse, added fodder for the horse, then turned and left.

Duan Wuji practiced his sword skills a few more times, and then began to practice bow and arrow. One after another, the carved feather arrows shot at a wooden post tied to an ox ten feet away.

Duan Wuji shot hundreds of times in a row, almost nine out of ten shots. Later, Duan Wuji felt that it was meaningless. Duan Wuji put away his bow and arrow, and then sat cross-legged under a locust tree and began to practice the new method of inner strength.

After practicing Duan Wuji, he fell into tranquility. Duan Wuji used his mind to guide the true energy from the lower dantian, and after a while, it enters the Weilu point, goes upward through the Weilu point and gathers at the Mingmen acupoint, and then draws the true energy upwards Pass through Dazhui point and Yuzhen point to Baihui. After the true energy gathers at the hundred points, then slowly guide the true energy to pass through the upper pubic region and enter the middle pubic region, and finally return the true qi from the middle pubic region to the lower pubic region.

In this way, Duan Wuji slowly guided the true qi to flow slowly in the body, and gradually Duan Wuji entered a state of selflessness, as if everything in the world did not exist, only the flow of true qi.

Gradually, a layer of white light about an inch thick formed on top of Duan Wuji's head. This white light was in the shape of smoke, floating on top of Duan Wuji's head for a long time and would not dissipate.

Besides, when Duan Changsheng returned to the house, he chatted with Second Grandpa while waiting for his mother's meal.

The willow cauliflower is busy inside and outside, and the frying and puffing are very busy.

When the sun was about to set, Liu Caihua brought up the prepared meals. There were a total of [-] plates, large and small, which can be said to be very rich.

Duan Yanqing brought over a jar of old wine, poured a bowl for Duan Yingchun, and said with a smile: "Second Uncle, come, let's drink first."

Duan Yingchun said with a smile: "Hey, Yanqing, why haven't you seen Wuji for so long? It's almost time for dinner, this kid didn't even know he was coming, really.

Hey, Changsheng, hurry up and call him, you said it’s been so long, and you can’t even have a hot meal when you get home, so what can you do? "

Duan Changsheng laughed and said, "He's practicing martial arts in the yard of the cowshed, I'll call him."

After speaking, Duan Changsheng stood up and ran towards the yard of the cowshed. When he walked into the yard, he saw that the yard was very quiet and there was no sound at all.

Duan Changsheng thought to himself: Where has this bastard practiced martial arts?Duan Changsheng looked down and saw Duan Wuji sitting under the locust tree and sleeping.

Duan Changsheng thought to himself, Erdan must be tired from practicing martial arts. When I saw him then, he was sweating all over from exhaustion, so he must be exhausted.Why don't you let him sleep for a while, let's go back to eat first.

Thinking of this, Duan Changsheng turned around and came back.

"Father, mother, Erdan is sleeping under the tree. I think we should eat first and let him sleep for a while."

Liucaihua was not happy when she heard it.

"Longevity! Oh, you child, you really don't know how to do things. You won't wake him up when he's asleep? It's okay, it's okay, go eat your meal.

Or let me tell him to go. "

After finishing speaking, Liu Caihua turned around and came out, Liu Caihua came to look under the locust tree, didn't she, Duan Wuji sat and fell asleep under the locust tree.

Liucaihua walked up to her and said softly, "Damn, mother has prepared something delicious for you, hurry home and eat."

Liu Caihua yelled twice, Duan Wuji opened his eyes.Duan Wuji stood up.

"Mom, you guys eat first, what do I do?"

Liu Caihua laughed and said, "Look at what you kid said? You said you wouldn't eat it, how could mother swallow it? Let's go, your second grandpa and the others are waiting for you."

Duan Wuji stood up and walked straight home with his mother.

The whole family ate and drank with Duan Yingchun. Duan Yingchun looked at the table of wine and food and said, "Yanqing, like this table of wine and food, under normal circumstances we can't eat it during the Chinese New Year."

Duan Yanqing laughed when he heard this.

"Second Uncle, you're right, if it was the first two years, you wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Haven't the family conditions improved in the past two years? Come on, let's drink. "

It wasn't until late at night that Duan Yingchun got into the car and left, and Duan Yanqing sent him home before turning back.

Duan Wuji went back to his cowshed and practiced martial arts for a while, and then went back to the house to practice the new method of internal energy. It was not until the next morning that Duan Wuji stopped the exercise.

After breakfast, Duan Wuji rode his white horse back to the third grandfather's house in Duanjiaji. When he entered the courtyard, he saw the iron ox talking to the third grandfather.

As soon as Tieniu saw Duan Wuji coming, he hurriedly said: "Brother, why did you come? The cattle are already starving, let's go herding them quickly."

The two immediately drove the cattle to the outside of the village, and the two drove the cattle to graze where the grass grew tall, and then the two began to practice martial arts again, from boxing skills to the use of weapons, and then to the skills of bows and arrows. If you are hungry, two people will eat dry food.

Tired, the two of them practiced the new method of internal strength under the tree for a while.

It wasn't until dark that the two men drove the cattle home.

The days passed day by day, and it was more than two months in the blink of an eye. During this time, the two of them made great progress in their martial arts.

The weather is getting cooler gradually, and the annual autumn harvest season is coming again, and the family's cattle herd has been lent out dozens of cows, and now there are only about [-] cows left in the herd, and the two of them became relaxed again.

Now the two of them let the dozens of cows out of the village all day long, and the two of them practiced martial arts all day long. On this day, they were practicing internal strength on the hillside, when suddenly there was a squawking of geese from far away.

I saw a group of flying geese flying from the north in a herringbone shape, and Tie Niu smiled when he saw it.

"Brother, have you seen these geese? How about we compare arrows?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Okay, see, there are two teams at the tail of the goose. You shoot at the east team, and I shoot at the west team. Let's shoot from the tail. We are only allowed to shoot five arrows, and see who can shoot more."

"Very good."

As they spoke, the two of them set up their bows and arrows, waiting for the flock of geese to come slowly. When the flock of geese flew over their heads, the two arrows with carved feathers "swish, swish," and shot straight at the tail goose.

Two geese fell to the ground in response to the sound, and the two men immediately drew their bows and set up arrows and shot the second arrow, and two more geese fell to the ground in response.

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother, you are good at arrows! Come on, let's see the next one."

Tieniu didn't answer, he took the lead and shot an arrow, and Duan Wuji quickly shot the arrow when he saw it.

Two more flying geese fell to the ground in response, after the five arrows were fired, Duan Wuji shot down five geese, and Tie Niu shot down four.

Duan Wuji smiled and said to Tieniu: "Brother, quickly pick up these geese, we will have a good time tonight."

The two immediately split up and picked up all the wild geese within a short time.
