Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 3
However, it was said that old man Li and Wu Xian spent about 34 days, wind and rain, and the sun and the moon regardless of the sun and the moon to reach Yu County, a small town near Dadu.

"Little beggar, do you see that sign? This is the sign for the disciples of our beggar gang to pass on the message. Three days later, the beggar gang will hold a branch meeting in a ruined temple ten miles away. We have walked for so long and finally arrived." Old man Li felt guilty Looking at Wu Xian, he fondled Wu Xian's face and said.

Ever since he followed him, Wu Xian has endured hardships and endured hardships, lived in the wind and slept in the open. For a month, Wu Xian never complained a word, never cheated for a while, the two of them drove on the road during the day, and at night Wu Xian beat his back and rubbed himself Legs is really a filial and sensible child. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sympathy for Wu Xian's life experience.

Before that, old man Li never let Wu Xian beg for money. Since he came to Yu County, old man Li has been missing for three days. I can only break the dignity in my heart and go to the street to beg.

In recent days, the number of beggars in Yu County has increased several times, and even the number of beggars in the surrounding counties has increased a lot. However, some good people see Wu Xian's young age, shabby and dirty clothes, and feel compassionate, often rewarding him with a few copper coins and steamed buns , so what Wu Xian earned was enough for the two of them to fill their stomachs.

That night, Wu Xian and old man Li were hiding in a hut. Old man Li mysteriously took out a yellowed booklet from his arms, grinning and said, "Little beggar, look what this is." Under the bright moonlight, Wu Xian clearly saw the words "red apricot stepping on the branches", and Wu Xian still knew these words, so he said them one by one.

It turns out that this red apricot stepping on a branch light kung fu was finally consummated ten years ago by old man Li, so he buried it in front of his old friend's grave to fulfill his wish. Now that he took it out, he passed it on to Wu Xian. This kung fu has a bad reputation, but it is also his own He has a lot of kung fu, and now he has a righteous grandson when he is old, so he passed on his unique knowledge to Wu Xian.

Old man Li stroked his messy and pale beard, and nodded approvingly. He looked like an old pedant, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Today, old man, I will fly across the sky to let you see and see." No one was there, old man Li jumped up and floated lightly to the roof, and then he jumped again, with his hands resting behind his back, and leaped leisurely in the moonlight sky. , floating in neon clothes.It turned out that old man Li was flying farther and farther. Wu Xian looked from a distance and saw only a shadow dancing, very leisurely, like a fairy in the dust.

The figure had disappeared without a trace, Wu Xian opened his mouth wide and his face was full of disbelief, is there really such an elegant and superb lightness kung fu in this world?The blood in his heart was faintly turning, and Wu Xian felt a little bit of urge to walk in the middle of the moon.

After a stick of incense, Wu Xian was still staring at the distant place where old man Li disappeared in a daze. If old man Li was a dirty old man before, when he flew up, he really looked like a martial arts hero or a fairy. Wu Xian thought in his heart, Could Old Man Li be a hidden master lurking in the martial arts world, a figure like Hong Qigong or a sweeping monk?

"Little beggar, old man, how about my lightness kung fu?" Old man Li suddenly appeared by his side again, patted the demented Wu Xian, and said quite proudly. Today, old man Li deliberately showed it in front of Wu Xian. If he is in danger, old man Li will not fly around in a flashy manner, but will fly away without leaving his name and disappearing in a few steps.

"Come, eat mung bean cake, I begged for it from the concubine's room in the Zhang Mansion." Seeing Wu Xian's eyes full of admiration and envy, old man Li laughed loudly. "Master Li, you are so chic and leisurely flying around in the sky. It's really enjoyable. I want to fly too." Wu Xian looked at old man Li beggingly.

Old man Li clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "If you want to fly, you can fly by yourself. I won't take you with you, old beggar." Wu Xian begged repeatedly.

Originally, old man Li wanted to agree, but seeing the sly look in Wu Xian's eyes, he resolutely said, "No, you have to fly by yourself." Old man Li saw that in the past 30 days, Wu Xian was exhausted from the initial serious illness, and fell ill overnight. All disappeared, and he was taught by an immortal to learn superb boxing skills. In just 30 days of wind and rain, he learned superb boxing skills. But he didn't want Wu Xian to be a beggar all his life, so he had the intention to send him to the big school to study.

Wu Xian, however, was also unwilling to make things difficult for him, and ate the pastry bitterly.

Old man Li hurriedly said: "I won't take you flying, I can teach you lightness kung fu, don't you want to fly freely in the sky like a little swallow?" Wu Xian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Hey, thank you La."

"Why don't you call me a bad old man now." Old man Li chuckled, his face was full of ridicule, Wu Xian didn't care so much, he clung to him to please him.

"Grandpa, I heard that there are a lot of delicious food in the city. When I grow up, I will definitely take you to the largest and most luxurious restaurant, where you can eat the best dishes and drink the strongest wine."

"I heard that there are many beautiful girls in Yichun Courtyard. In the future, my grandson will find many beauties to honor you."

Old man Li laughed, patted Wu Xian's head, and said, "Back then, grandpa was in his seventies and eighties, so how could he still have such energy and such blessings."

Wu Xian became anxious when he heard this, and quickly said: "I heard someone said that Master Zhang of Wudang is over ninety this year, and Mr. Li, you are only in your fifties, and you still have a long time to go."

"Renren Zhang is the master of martial arts, and the Seven Heroes of Wudang are all his disciples. The name of chivalry can be said to be famous all over the world. All heroes in the world admire him very much. I don't dare to compare myself with Zhang Zhenren, old man." Old man Li shook his head and said, his tone was full of respect and respected.

Wu Xian nodded, and said with his head held high: "Renren Zhang is indeed highly respected, he can be called the No. Are you a great apprentice? Hehe, if I become number one in the martial arts and say to everyone I meet, 'My master Li Yongchang is super awesome', then you will be the number one master in the world, and you will also be a well-known figure in the world."

Wu Xian nodded seriously again, squinted his eyes, and said, "Master Li, think about it again. Master Zhang established his own Wudang Mountain Gate, and recruited disciples to educate talents. It took more than half of his life to gain his current reputation. You only taught me. An apprentice, who is still free-range, can become famous all over the world in the future, isn't he making a lot of money?"

"Get a fart, you're only as good as you are." Old man Li looked at Wu Xian, who was like a naughty boy, and knocked his little head angrily, but tears came out of his eyes. Wu Xian's arrogant tone was innocent and loose, really Just like my 13-year-old younger brother, the scene 30 years ago emerged in his eyes. The Tartar emperor was immoral, and disasters occurred every year. At that time, Huangzhou City was full of starvation. The old man hurriedly turned around and raised his head to look at the moon, while Wu Xian was not paying attention, he wiped his eyes, which had been dazzled by the wind, with his sleeve.

After a while, old man Li solemnly placed the secret book in Wu Xian's hands, and said seriously, "You must practice this secret book carefully, and you must not easily reveal it in front of others if you have learned light skills. It's sinister and unpredictable, and you must know that if you are innocent, you will be guilty."
