Taoist endowment

Chapter 13

Saying goodbye to the old village chief who was in charge of overseeing the work, Chen Jingyun took two disciples to wander around the village, chatted and laughed with a group of women who were busy cleaning their lunch, and reprimanded a few naughty monkeys with a straight face. How can Mr. Chen Xiao's majesty be ignored?

Holding Nie Wanniang and Nie Fengming's little hands, the three master and apprentice walked slowly in the village, feeling the unique peace and harmony emanating from Niujia Village in spring.

Just walking aimlessly like this, he unknowingly came to the ancestral hall in the east of the village. Looking at the old trees with crooked necks beside the ancestral hall, Chen Jingyun couldn't help feeling hurt.

The old miscellaneous hair once said that it was here that he picked up himself who was still in his infancy. He heard that when he was picked up by the miscellaneous hair old man, instead of crying or fussing, he even grinned at him, maybe it was this smile , Set the friendship between master and apprentice father and son in this life.

Regarding his own life experience, Chen Jingyun has never had the intention of inquiring into it for more than ten years, and he has never even had the desire to inquire. His surname is Chen Jingyun, his father's surname is Chen, and his Taoist name is Spirit Ape.

Nie Wanniang seemed to be aware of the ups and downs of the master's mood, and she couldn't help shaking Chen Jingyun's big hand with her little hand. Chen Jingyun felt the strength coming from his hand, and couldn't help but come back to his senses.

This disciple of mine is always so sensitive, his thoughts are so delicate that he has nothing to say.

Turning around the ancestral hall is a small river, where fish and shrimp can be seen in the clear and shallow water. Chen Jingyun and two disciples are sitting by the river splashing water.

Smilingly, he told the two interesting stories about how he led a group of minions to catch fish and shrimps in this river. While talking, he didn't realize that it was almost noon.

At this moment, a sound of children playing came from a bend in the river hundreds of feet away, and entered Chen Jingyun's ears. There was the sound of exhaling and breathing, and after a while, there was the sound of fighting, and at the same time, there was the sound of children Clap and cheers.

Chen Jingyun didn't think differently about this. Everyone in Niujia Village, regardless of gender, had to practice the superficial martial arts handed down from the view. The grandson Chai Erdan fought several times, and every time he had to fight, Chai Erdan hugged his head and begged for mercy.

The old village is too old, so old that life is withered and medicine stones are useless. A wind and cold a year ago almost killed him. If Chen Jingyun hadn't rushed to him when his life was about to die, and used spiritual energy to renew his life, I'm afraid The old man can't pass the year.

The so-called medicine cures diseases, Chen Jingyun's spiritual energy is not a medicine for longevity, and the old village is afraid that it will be this year.

Chen Jingyun sighed, and led his two disciples to the place where the children were practicing martial arts. It would be interesting to watch the second and third disciples playing in front of them.

Turning around the bend of the river is a large sandy beach. A dozen or so seven or eight-year-old leather monkeys are gathered together, cheering for the two boys who are fighting in the field.

Among the two people who fought against each other, the sturdy boy who was a head taller than the others was Shi Dao, the head of the village. His father was a well-known hunter in all directions. This boy grew up eating meat. Therefore, he is the tallest and most powerful among children of the same age.

Another short boy named Yuan Hua was the second boy of Yuan Laoshi's family in the west of the village. This boy didn't follow his father's temperament at all. He was already a well-known trickster in the village at the age of seven or eight.

The two of them were the little overlord in the east of the village and the other was the slicker in the west of the village, and they had a few supporters cheering for them, so they fought very hard.

The two people exchanged punches and legs, and there was a bit of martial arts in the moves.Cheng Shitou relied on his own strength, so he moved aggressively, and Yuan Hua's figure was nimble, and he could punch back even while dodging.

When Chen Jingyun was interested, he didn't step forward to disturb them, and led Nie Wanniang and Nie Fengming to watch from a distance behind the reed with a smile on his eyes.

However, the two fought for several more rounds in the arena. Seeing that he could not fight for a long time, Cheng Shitou seemed a little annoyed. The martial arts method of exerting strength, and then violently moving forward, stretched out both fists and hit Yuan Hua's shoulders directly.

Seeing Cheng Shishitou's trick, Yuan Hua didn't dare to take it head-on. He leaned back, his body bent into an arch bridge shape, narrowly avoiding Cheng Shitou's fists, and then pushed his body to the side with one hand. Shifting, seeing the timing, he suddenly tripped with his leg, and happened to trip over Cheng Shitou's ankle. Cheng Shitou couldn't stop his momentum, and his nosebleeds flowed from the tripped and knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, Nie Wanniang couldn't help but let out a little gasp, looked up at the smiling master and said, "Master, I think that slippery boy has some shadow of a monkey."

Chen Jingyun patted Nie Wanniang's head and nodded softly.

At this moment, the boys on Yuan Hua's side cheered loudly for Yuan Hua, while those on Cheng Shitou's side moaned and sighed, the scene was very funny.

After Cheng Shitou got up on the ground, he wiped the nosebleed with his sleeve indiscriminately. He was not angry, and shouted at Yuan Hua who was running far away: "Yuan Hua boy! You won this time! But you are the winner!" How did you think of breaking my trick like this? You know, this is the method that Uncle Chai is willing to teach me because I exchanged two pheasants!"

Yuan Hua put his hands on his hips in the distance and laughed loudly: "Cheng Shitou, I saw you defeat Niu Han with this trick last time! Haha! I thought about it for a whole day before I came up with the way to break it, let you do your best!" You are as big as an ox, but I can borrow your strength! How about it? Are you convinced that you lost?"

Cheng Shitou pinched his nose with his hands and said in a low voice, "Hmph! It's nothing to win or lose once. If you have the guts, you're still here in three days. Let's compete again!"

Yuan Hua did not show weakness, and agreed, and the two of them went home with their minions.

"Feng Ming, what do you think of that Cheng stone?" Seeing that the group of children had dispersed, Chen Jingyun and his apprentice continued chatting on the soft sand by the river.

When Nie Fengming saw the competition just now, his heart was already very hot. He has been exercising his foundation and body with his master and sister every day for the past few months, and his strength is much stronger than before.

Seeing that Cheng and Yuan competed well, I wished that I was the one fighting Cheng Shitou in the arena just now, and I thought to myself: "If it were me, I would definitely not be as good as Yuan Hua. If you dodge and use tricks, you must compete head-to-head.”

Now hearing Master's question, Nie Fengming thought for a while and replied: "Master, I think Cheng Shiren is simple and straightforward, but he does things without losing his spirit. Looking at his moves, he obviously learned from our family's kung fu, which is not a bad idea." A good opponent."

Chen Jingyun was amused when he heard Nie Fengming's old-fashioned answer, so he patted him on the back of the neck to signal that he understood.Nie Wanniang, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the master and her younger brother, and raised her head to look at the master thoughtfully.

At noon, Chen Jingyun felt a sense of hunger in his belly, so he wanted to take his two apprentices to the back mountain to eat the big meal that Peng Qiu should have prepared.

But at this moment, a little girl was suddenly seen dragging a big wooden barrel full of clothes towards the river with great effort.

Chen Jingyun naturally recognized this child. The girl's name was Ji Ling. She originally lived in Majiatun, seventy miles away. Because her parents died of a serious illness two years ago, her third uncle Ji De took her to Niujia Village to raise her.

Ji De is an honest farmer, unmarried in his 30s. Although he is very nice to Ji Ling, his niece, he is not good at expressing himself because he is clumsy.This little Ji Lingsheng is petite, with only a slap-sized white face, and a pair of big eyes that are always sparkling and lively.

At this time, Ji Ling also saw the three of Chen Jingyun who were strolling leisurely on the beach. Seeing Chen Jingyun holding the Nie family sister and Nie family brother one by one, tears suddenly appeared in his big eyes.

However, he forced a smile, stepped forward and said: "Hello, Uncle Jing Yun! Hello, Sister Nie, Brother Nie!" After that, he continued to drag the wooden barrel to the river with great effort.

Nie Wanniang couldn't see the girl suffering the most, so she rushed over without waiting for Chen Jingyun to speak, holding the wooden bucket in one hand and holding Ji Ling's little hand in the other, and the two of them were talking in a low voice while heading towards the Qingshi platform not far away for laundry go.

Chen Jingyun shrugged helplessly at Nie Fengming, Nie Fengming imitated and did the same thing, Chen Jingyun patted Nie Fengming on the back of the neck in a funny way, and took him to a shady place.

The master and apprentice were bored waiting, so they explained some exercises to Nie Fengming.

Half an hour later, Nie Wanniang helped Ji Ling wash the clothes, and then sent Ji Ling home. When she returned to her master and younger brother, her eyes were flushed, and she hesitated to speak several times afterwards.

Chen Jingyun helplessly and dotingly tapped Nie Wanniang's forehead, signaling that she needn't speak, as he already knew what she wanted.
