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

Chapter 957 940 Six: Two people visit Gao Laozhuang ([-])
Zhu Bazi thought about it for a while and said, "Why? There is such a good thing!

As long as I can manage enough to eat, then I am willing to protect the holy monk to go west!

It's better to hang out with the monk than to be useless here!

I said my lord, I have made a decision on this matter.

When shall we go?When to go, I will immediately follow when you two go.

My old Zhu works hard, I don't believe that I can't make a name for myself. "

Tieniu looked at Zhu Bazi and asked, "Hey! I said buddy, do you have any weapons?"

Zhubazi looked up to the sky and laughed.

"I'm a stinking farmer, how can I have any weapons?

But what!I have a plowing harrow that the blacksmith at the smithy made for me when my son-in-law was first born.

The rake is made of pure iron from the rake head to the rake arm, and it weighs more than 150 catties!

Ordinary rakes with wooden handles were worn out by me in less than two days.

I use it to rake the ground every day, and I also dance when I am free. Although I am not very good at dancing, it is not bad to be a weapon!

At such a young age, I have inexhaustible strength, so what can I do without dancing with a rake? "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"In this way, the rake is a weapon, and the rake used for farming is not so heavy!

If you use it to farm every day, it must be handy.

I said Zhu Bazi, bring your rake and let us both see it too!
We have all seen these eighteen kinds of weapons, but we haven't seen this big man's rake.

After bringing it over, let's find a spacious place, how about you practice it for the two of us? "

Zhu Bazi was very happy when he heard it.

"Well then! I'll take my rake now, and I'll play with you two in a minute!

Two brothers, come with me! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu looked at each other and said: "Go home and get a rake! Isn't it easy to find a place to play with a rake!

If you can pass the eyes of our two brothers, then you will be the one who learns from the scriptures! "

"Okay! Let's settle that.

Just wait, I'm going home to get the rake. "

After speaking, Zhu Bazi turned and left.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, look, haven't we found another person to learn Buddhist scriptures!

Let's find another one, and then we can go back to work. "

Tie Niu laughed.

"It turns out that it's so easy to find someone! It doesn't look like it will take a few days, but we have really completed this task.

After completing the task and meeting with the emperor, we will have nothing to do with our brothers again.

Why!I said brother, why is Sun Tiansheng's martial arts better than me!

He can fight you for more than 100 rounds, that kid is really evil! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Brother Tieniu, we brothers found Sun Tiansheng, do you think I can beat him to death with a single stick?
After killing him, don't we have to find someone again!Would you do such a stupid thing?
We finally found someone, and that's about it.

Besides, Sun Tiansheng didn't kill him, I recommend him to live, he knows this better than anyone else.

If he beats me to death or injures me again, doesn't he know what the result is waiting for him? "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Oh, it turns out that you guys are in an exhibition competition! Everyone keeps their hands on each other, it's just enough to save face.

Brother, do you think what I said is right! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Brother Tie Niu, this Zhu Bazi was recommended by our two brothers. If the emperor asks you two to compete in martial arts, you must not beat him to death. What's the use of looking for someone else if you beat us to death?

If the emperor is not angry and asks us brothers to look for it again, how much trouble do you think it will be?

If you two compete, then you'd better show mercy to me, don't slap yourself in the face! "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well, what you said really makes sense, don't worry! I know about it."

Not too long ago, the young man named Zhu Bazi carried his rake over.

"I said, two adults, you two come out, and I will play with this rake for you two in this street!

Take a look at my martial arts! "

The two followed Zhu Bazi to the street and found a relatively spacious place. Zhu Bazi shook the rake in his hand three times.

Duan Wuji looked at it, and saw that the rake really looked like a weapon. The handle was as thick as a duck, and it was made of pure iron. The head of the rake had nine teeth, and each tooth was two feet long. ah!

They are all made of pure steel thicker than a big finger. When they shine in the sun, they are so bright that they dazzle people's eyes!

The rake head is three feet long and still hangs zero!
Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "This rake is really big! It's a great drive to rake the ground!"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "You can practice your nail rake for us now, show us your real skills, and let us brothers take a good look at it!"

Zhu Bazi began to practice immediately by turning the nail and rake. Usually, Zhu Bazi used this huge nail to grow vegetables on the ground. It can be said to be a handy farm tool!

Today I danced and played, it was really beautiful!

But see that: rake away the cold light, and rake in a gust of wind.Dancing according to the routine, the moves are fierce and precise.If you can resist the enemy, you can do amazing things in farming!

Once Zhu Bazi heard that two people were going to recommend him to go west with the holy monk, he really showed his strength. A pair of rakes danced like a rake mountain, and there were phantoms of rakes everywhere!

Duan Wuji looked at it and nodded secretly.

"Yeah! The dance is really good! Zhu Bazi, good! The dance is so good that you passed our level.

You go home and pack up, just follow us on the road in a while!
You carry the rake.

We'll be leaving in a while. "

"That's good! Then I'll go home and tell those two old bastards to go, his grandma, and they don't need to bombard me from home.

Uncle Zhu, I left by myself. He thought that I would not be able to live without their house.

These two old bastards are really not personal things!

Uncle Zhu, I followed the holy monk to the West to learn scriptures, and now I have found my way again. "

Zhu Bazi grumbled and walked away carrying the rake.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu returned to Sanjie Liu's house, and Tieniu said to the old man Liu: "You guys rest! Bazi Zhu has promised to follow us!

We have to go to other places for a while, so we two brothers are leaving now. "

The old man Liu smiled wryly after hearing this: "I said Tieniu, you have come to my house, so you are my relatives.

I see you guys go after dinner!Don't look at our family being poor, we can afford to take care of your meals. "

Tie Niu shook his head.

"Forget it, forget it, let's talk about it another time!

We have other things to do, so we won't bother you today. "

Tie Niu took out ten taels of silver from his body, and put it on the kang.

"Old man, your family's life is hard enough, I have ten taels of silver here, you can use it to supplement your family.

Although this little money is not much, it is still possible to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil. "

Third Sister Liu saw that this iron bull was really generous.

"I said third brother-in-law, your family took advantage of so much money, did you spend it?"

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Where can I spend it? Otherwise, I won't be angry all day because of this money.

When I have free time, I will put them on the street when I have free time, so as not to bother me again. "

Everyone knew that the iron bull was joking, and everyone couldn't help but roar with laughter!

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were waiting for Zhu Bazi on the street after leading the horse from Old Liu's house.

The time was not long, so Zhu Bazi came over with a burden on his back and the big nail and rake on his shoulders.

"My lords, where are we going!"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Let's go all the way to the southeast, go to Huashan and go around!
There is our old friend in Tongtian Temple, let's go and see him!
Zhu Bazi, you are a local, you must be very familiar with the roads, you can lead us ahead! "

Zhu Bazi staggered ahead with a big rake on his shoulders, and Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed behind on horseback.

The three of them talked and laughed, and ran straight in the direction of Huashan Mountain.

But see that: the mountains are green and white clouds are floating, and the mountain flowers are blooming and swaying in the wind.The shepherd boy herds the cows and gnaws the green grass, and the sound of the piccolo lingers in the mountains.Farmers are busy plowing the fields, and village girls are carrying the load to water the vegetables.

The three walked forward while admiring the scenery on both sides of the road.

After more than two hours, the three of them finally arrived near Huashan Mountain, and the sun was already westward at this time.

Zhu Bazi looked at Duan Wuji and the others and said, "My lord, we've been walking for a long time, should we find a place to have lunch?
My stomach was growling with hunger, and to be honest, I couldn't walk anymore. "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Go further, there should be a restaurant in front of you.

When you get to the restaurant, you can eat as much as you want, and I will see if you eat too much or our buddies eat more. "

Zhu Bazi grinned after hearing this and said, "My lord, I dare not say I won the competition. If I were to compare who eats more, then I would definitely not lose."

After walking another three or four miles, I finally saw a restaurant.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu jumped off their horses and walked straight to the restaurant.

Tieniu shouted loudly into the shop: "I said buddy, is there any food in this restaurant now?"

The clerk in the dining room smiled and said, "I told you guys, it's past time to eat now, how can there be any food now!

The master cook has gone home, and now there are only a few baskets of steamed buns left in the restaurant, why don't you eat some?

Grandpas of guest officials, this bun is stuffed with pork and cabbage, so there is a lot of meat.

The steamed stuffed buns here are really delicious, why don't you try some of them first? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "How much is the steamed stuffed bun here?"

"I said Grandpa Guest Officer, these buns are not expensive!

Each basket of steamed buns costs only three renminbi, and you can get a discount if you buy more. "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "No matter how much! You can serve it to us."

"I'm talking about Grandpa Guest Officer, to be honest, we have a lot of steamed stuffed buns left here!

We decided to buy it at night, just the three of you, can you eat so much?

The rule in the restaurant is that once the steamed stuffed bun is served, it belongs to you, and we will not return it when the time comes. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Since you have a lot of steamed stuffed buns here, why don't you give each of us four baskets first!

If you can't eat too much, it's a waste! "

The waiter in the restaurant laughed wryly.

"I'm talking about Grandpa Guest Officer, to tell you the truth, I still have more than eleven baskets of steamed stuffed buns in this restaurant.

You want twelve cages of buns, how can I have so many here.

Or let me serve them all to you!At that time, you can just give me three taels of silver.

I'll serve each of you three big bowls of clear soup.

Be sure to let you eat well. "

The clerk in the restaurant was very happy. The buns were all sold out at once, and he could have a good rest for the whole afternoon. If the guests couldn't eat, he could take them home and feed them to the children.

"I'm talking about the grandpas of the guest officials, can you just settle the account with me now?

Don't think about these things for a while. "

Duan Wuji took out three taels of silver and threw it on the table.

"This is three taels of silver, take it away!

Hurry up and serve us buns, the three of us are already starving. "

"Hi! Baozi is here!"

The guy in the restaurant brought up the steamed stuffed buns cage by cage.

This steamed stuffed bun took up more than half of the Eight Immortals table, and the three people shared three tables. The waiter was serving the steamed stuffed bun and said with a smile: "I mean guest officer, do you think we are Xiaolonger steamed stuffed buns?

No!With such a big basket of buns, I don’t think any of you can even eat a basket of buns!

When the guy brought the second steamed bun, he found that Zhu Bazi had already eaten seven or eight of the first steamed stuffed bun.

That's really two or three people, and the speed is so fast that no one can match it!

"Hey, how come this steamed stuffed bun goes down so fast? If I serve it slowly, it won't be enough for you to eat?"

Tieniu yelled: "Put this steamed stuffed bun on my table first, put it down and go back and take it."

The man put the steamed stuffed bun on Tieniu's table and speeded up the delivery.

When the guys in the restaurant brought up all the buns, the three of them almost finished eating the buns.

The clerk in the rice official brought a large bowl of clear soup to each of the three people, and the three of them drank it before everything was fine.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu also gave Zhu Bazi the remaining few buns, and Zhu Bazi put the remaining buns in his own bag and wrapped them up.

Three people came out of the restaurant.

While walking, Zhu Bazi muttered in a low voice: "That's right, I finally had a full meal today, I'd better follow you guys!

Never go hungry again. "

The three of them walked out of the restaurant and went straight to the Tongtian Temple.
