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

Chapter 51 Chapter 51

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed the intelligent monk, chatting and laughing along the way, and walked straight down Shaoshi Mountain.

When they came to the foot of the mountain, the three of them stopped under a big pine tree, the wise monk stopped, looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Wuji, tell the truth to Master, watch the monks practice the Arhat stick technique in the Arhat Hall, Did you get your chance?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master, there is a saying in Buddhism that nothing is existence, and existence is nothing. It's not like you don't know the quality of your disciples. Do you need to ask?"

The wise monk laughed when he heard this.

"You stinky boy, you even signed an explanation with your teacher, hey, boy, since you have a predestined relationship with Buddha in this way, why don't you become a monk at Shaolin Temple tomorrow.

My Shaolin Temple is currently short of a young monk who cleans the toilet.I see you just went. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master, it's not suitable for me to go, think about it, the place where the five grains reincarnate must be able to go to those with pure six senses.

I am like this, thinking about the kindness of my parents’ upbringing, and thinking about the injustice of the world at the bottom, how can I be a person with pure six senses?Master, you have lost your sight. "

The smart monk was just joking with Duan Wuji, after hearing Duan Wuji's answer, he laughed and said, "Boy, do you know a lot? If you don't come down, I don't think you can be the director. You'd better go home and wait." Let's go."

The wise monk looked at Duan Wuji with a smile and said: "Wuji, I was visiting my friend in Mount Emei, Sichuan a while ago. When the head teacher of the Emei School designated Yin Yang and Xiao Daocheng, it was just in time for the old man to travel to the immortals with a crane. Before the trip, the old man passed me a wonderful book to keep as a memory. This book contains the knowledge of Taoist health preservation, and a set of boxing scores is attached.

Take out this book and read it, it may be of great help to increase your cultivation.

I read this book once as a teacher, and most of the knowledge in it is different from my Buddhist concepts, and some even contradict each other.

Therefore, I can't keep it in Buddhism.

At that time, I burned it, and then I thought of you, so I kept him.

It's just in time for you to come today, so I won't have to take the time to send it to you. "

Speaking of which, the intelligent monk took out a yellowed booklet from his arms and handed it to Duan Wuji. Duan Wuji took the booklet with both hands and put it in his arms.

Duan Wuji smiled and said to the wise monk: "Thank you, Master, for still thinking about me. Wuji will never forget Master's affection in his life."

The wise monk looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Wuji, remember, the reason why each sect can pass on a hundred umbrellas is naturally for its own reason.

Of course, it also includes my Shaolin Temple.

Remember, only by striving for the strengths of each school, taking its essence and discarding its dross, can it be improved to a higher level.

Well, I have returned to the temple as a teacher, you should go back too, if there is a destiny in this life, we will meet again. "

After speaking, the smart monk turned around and went back to Shaolin Temple.

Duan Wuji watched the smart monk go out of sight, so he went back to the shop together with Tieniu.

At this time the sun was already two, Duan Wuji pulled the iron bull with his hand.

"Brother, take the big stick, let's practice the Arhat stick move that we learned today in a place where no one is around.

You said that once we forget about it, wouldn't our trip be in vain? "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well, brother, what you said is right on my heart, and I think so too."

The two people took the big sticks and walked straight outside the store. The two found a small forest where there was no one there. In the woods, there was an open field where weeds grew. No matter how you say, this land is about five acres in size.

The two practiced the moves they learned today one by one on the open ground. At the beginning, the moves of both of them were very unfamiliar, and it was very difficult to practice. Each move was carried out very slowly. After an hour, the two of them were very familiar with this set The stick technique is also gradually practiced.

Duan Wuji looked at the two red suns, and said to Tieniu: "Brother, I think we should practice here first, if it doesn't work, let's continue practicing tomorrow."

Tie Niu shook his head.

"Brother, if you want to go back, you should go back first. Brother, I love using sticks the most. You said that I haven't learned the big stick yet, so what's going on when I go back?

If you can't learn it, don't you know swordsmanship?Besides, you are naturally smarter than me, maybe you have already learned it by now.

I didn't lose at the starting line early. "

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this: he thought to himself, alas, this is all about where.

"Brother Tieniu, since you don't want to go back, brother, I'll practice with you here. Anyway, I haven't practiced this stick technique so well."

Speaking of which, Duan Wuji immediately danced the big stick again, and it was not until Ding Gengtian that the iron bull said out of breath: "Oh, brother, I am exhausted today.

Let's go back, anyway, we have to stutter. "

Duan Wuji sneered and said: "It's almost midnight, where can we get food? Let's go, let's go back to the shop and sleep. Let's bear it tonight."

Tieniu sighed and said, "Hey, that's all it seems. Do you think you can sleep without eating?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "That means you are not sleepy, and you will naturally fall asleep when you are sleepy."

The two of them returned to the shop, and just as they got into their own room, the iron bull was already roaring like thunder without even taking off its shoes.

Duan Wuji dragged his tired body to help Tieniu take off his shoes, covered the quilt, washed his face before going to bed.

The two didn't wake up from their sleep until the third stroke in the morning of the next day.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up from the bed, only to feel that they are unbearably hungry now, and they ran out of the guest room.

Tie Niu found the store clerk, and Tie Niu said with a smile: "Man, you see, we have lived in your store for two days, and we ate a meal in your store, and now we are both starving to death." , can you serve us some food in advance?"

The clerk in the store laughed and said: "Guest officer, we also know what you said, it's not that we are unwilling to accommodate, it's just that the chef who cooks hasn't come yet, and now I can't do anything about it."

Tie Niu rubbed his hands. "Hey, what can I do?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Tieniu, look at mine."

Duan Wuji took out one or two pieces of loose silver and put it on the table.

"Come on, take this silver and sell us some groceries. We don't know much about the neighborhood."

The man laughed and said, "Guest officer, I will definitely help you with this favor. Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "You bring us twenty large pancakes, fifteen catties of beef, two bottles of good wine, and three cold dishes."

Tie Niu shook his head.

"I said brother, why do you want wine? We don't drink much."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Tieniu, what you said? We don't drink much, but why don't you drink?"

The store clerk laughed and said, "Guest officer, what's the matter? You even bought my meal?"

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Man, how can we ask you to run errands for nothing. Man, hurry up."

The man agreed, took the silver and ran out immediately.

Duan Wuji looked at Niu Tie.

"Brother Tieniu, do you see that? This is called material stimulation. How can we do without it? If you don't give him some benefits, then if he says there are no restaurants nearby, won't we suffer?"

Before long, the guy walked in with the food.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu sat at the table and said to the store clerk: "Come on man, sit down and let's eat together. I even bought your meal just now."

The clerk said with a smile: "You two guests, since you have bought them all, then I will not be polite."

The three of them sat down, and Duan Wuji poured two bowls of wine in two passes.

"Dude, come on, let me have a drink with you. Dude, it's time to eat and drink, but don't be polite!"

The man picked up the wine bowl and took two sips and said: "This wine is really good, I haven't had it for a long time.

Sigh, guest officer, by the accent, are you from Shanxi? "

Duan Wuji nodded.

"Yes, we are from Shanxi. The two of us are from Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi.

Hey, buddy, is our Henan land peaceful now? "

The guy shook his head.

"Guest officer, if you don't ask me, I still want to remind you. This Henan land is not peaceful. Now this Henan land is full of gangsters and bandits. They gather in the mountains and forests, or run rampant in the villages. , It’s really countless.”

Duan Wuji asked with a smile: "Then man, do you know which way is the safest way to go to Shanxi?"

The man laughed and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, you just need to be careful along the way. Remember, you must never walk at night. In addition, you should also pay attention at noon. Be careful to make the Wannian ship. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Man, prepare another [-] catties of beef and [-] pancakes for us in the afternoon. We have to take them on our way tomorrow."

The man nodded.

"Well, the food you want can actually be made in a small shop. I'll just tell the master later. The food in this shop must be cheap."

After eating, Duan Wuji looked at the things left on the table and said: "Brother, take these to our guest room, save us to eat when we are hungry."

While tidying up the food on the table, Tieniu said to Duan Wuji, "Brother, don't we have nothing to do today?"

Duan Wuji nodded.

"Well, let's take a day off, and we'll be on our way tomorrow morning."

Tie Niu said: "Brother, I will go to the small woods to practice stick skills for a while. Brother, why don't you go?"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"I won't go today. I'll read the book Master gave me in my room and see what's written in it."

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Then go read, if you have something good, you can teach me when the time comes."

Duan Wuji giggled.

"Needless to say? That is necessary."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji turned around and went back to the guest room, while Tieniu went straight to the woods with a stick in his hand.
