In the middle of the night, Ah Jiu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The thin master was actually married and had a daughter in her sixties, which was very difficult for him to accept. But if you think about it from another angle, there is actually nothing against the harmony. Taoist priests are not in the womb, and it is normal to be married and then become a monk.

Ah Jiu turned over and sat up, changed into his monk's robe, it was still the one five years ago, it looked a little small, his Dharma name was embroidered on his chest, Ah Jiu looked at his Dharma name, smacked his mouth, dragged out the medicine box from under the bed, and took a piece of medical tape to stain the Dharma number.

This legal name, since watching "The Legend of the New White Lady", Ah Jiu has been ashamed, and never mentions it, whoever dares to call him this name, he will turn his face with whomever he wants, and he fought a lot when he was a child.

Ah Jiu came out of the monk's house, looked up at the moon, and went to the room. The roof of the monk's house is made of green tiles, one after another like fish scales, which is stronger than ordinary tiles. Ah Jiu has practiced light exercises to the extent that he can go to the room, and he often lies on the green tile to watch the stars. At that time, Master Slender told him that everyone in this world saw the same stars and the moon, and this was the only way he could think of that that could have something to do with his parents. But he never said this reason, even when he was found by the two masters and beaten up.

Hoo!

The robe swayed with the wind, and Ah Jiu looked over, and the moonlight was the next Taoist with long eyebrows and white beard, and thin bones.

"Master, why are you here?" Ah Jiu hurriedly sat up and saluted to the thin master, unlike the fat master who had no frame with his apprentice on weekdays, the thin master treated any disciple with the posture of a 'strict father'. Ah Jiu Neng and the fat master are neither big nor small, but they rarely dare to make a mistake in front of the thin master.

"It's so late, you should rest. ”

"There are some things that are said in the morning and said in the evening. I said it earlier. The thin master signaled that Ah Jiu did not need to be restrained, and sat on the green tile with him, the moonlight was clear, but the master and apprentice didn't know how to start, and after being embarrassed for a while, the thin master said, "I became a family." And a daughter, surprised?"

"Sort of. Ah Jiu grinned and said, "But it's nothing, it's normal." Congratulations, Master. Is the old man okay?"

"Alas......" The thin master sighed and said, "I also just learned that she has been dead for many years. The thin master looked at Ah Jiu and said, "Tell you about me and your fat master?"

Ah Jiu nodded hurriedly, how could he not be interested. It's just that I've never dared to ask.

"My common surname is Chen, and my hometown is not far from here, Chenjiagou. My ancestors practiced boxing and tai chi there, and I also practiced it when I was a child, learning from my father. At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and there were battles all day long. Chenjiagou is famous, and there are always people who come to recruit soldiers. ”

"At the beginning. The blind dates all think it's a good thing. In that environment, you couldn't buy or sell. The salary of a soldier is not low, and it is enough to support his family. But fighting is to die, and few of the men in the village can come back when they go out, my father, my uncle, and my uncle. They all went out and didn't come back. ”

"When I was eighteen, Zhifeng fought for the second time, and the marshal came to the village to arrest the strong men, and there was no one in my family at that time. I didn't want to live on these few acres of land, so I sold the land for two oceans and followed the soldier. ”

"The battle was lost, from the surname Wu to the surname Zhang, and then the Japanese blew up the surname Zhang, Northeast Yizhi, that year I became the battalion commander, and then tired military merits to the regiment commander ......"

"Then I became married to my wife. ”

The thin master was silent for a while, and sighed: "We met at an officer's ball, she is a lady, and she is still a female student, we realize that the process of falling in love is very short, but I have a humble official position and I don't have much money, of course I am not worthy of her." Later, I couldn't take care of these anymore, the Double Twelve Incident, the young marshal was imprisoned, and then my troops went north to resist the Japanese, and it was more than seven years to fight. ”

"There are a lot of people dead," said the thin master, sighing, "all the soldiers who followed me at first died, and none of them survived. ”

"By the time we were about to win, there were already signs of civil war. I didn't want my own people to hit my own people, so I shot myself, and I was already a brigade commander at that time, and I was qualified to go back to the rear to recuperate. When I was hospitalized in the hospital, I met your sister again. ”

"She waited for me for eight years, and I can't imagine how much pressure she was under. I was promoted, barely worthy of her, and I exchanged all of them for three gold bars as a bride price, and we finally got married. ”

"Just two months after we got married, a civil war broke out. At that time, my injuries were healed, and the commander's department called several times a day to urge me, but I really didn't want to fight, so I received a position to manage logistics, so that I could not be stained with the blood of my compatriots, and I could feel more comfort. ”

"When I left your master, she was just pregnant...... Thin Master's eyes were a little red, and he paused for a moment before continuing: "I didn't expect to say goodbye like this......"

"From 48 years to now, it's been almost seventy years. I didn't know from their mother and daughter, I thought they were dead a long time ago, and I don't know if God had eyes or no eyes, so she found me. The thin master smiled miserably: "What's the use, it's about to die, I don't know how many years I can live, I'm ashamed in my heart, it's better to die." ”

Ah Jiu didn't expect to hear such a shocking secret at all, and while he was shocked by the thin master's past, he couldn't help but be even more curious about the matter between him and the fat master.

"Master, how did you and Fat Master get together?"

"This matter...... the thin master smiled bitterly and said: "The army was defeated that day, and I contacted my wife and daughter to no avail, thinking that they were dead, so I wanted to seek death." I have been practicing Tai Chi for many years, and I have a certain foundation in internal strength, and he taught me Tai Chi Sword, and when I was fifty years old, I broke through in internal strength, which is almost equivalent to your current level, and he is also half of my master. ”

"But why are one of you a monk and the other a Taoist priest?"

The thin master laughed and said: "Actually, your thin master used to be a Taoist, and now he has become a monk because he went to Shaolin Temple to steal the Yijin Sutra and wash the marrow Sutra, and was restrained by an old monk, the old monk said that he had a Buddha fate, and he had to let him be a monk, and if he was not a monk, he would not give him the scriptures. ”

Ah Jiu was shocked: "There are still people in Shaolin Temple who can restrain the fat master?"

"Why not," the thin master returned to seriousness, and said, "Don't underestimate the Shaolin Temple, the thousand-year-old heritage is not fake." But now there should be no more, and the old monk has been dead for decades. (To be continued.) )
