Early in the morning, when I was still in a daze, I heard the noise of people outside, and I didn't know what they were doing.

I was drowsy, and I was about to fall asleep, but my father knocked on the door: "Tiancheng, what time has it been and you haven't gotten up, why don't you know today?" Hurry up, the meal has been ready and waiting for you for a long time! ”

I replied helplessly, "Got it, I'll get up right away!" ”

I wanted to sleep again, but I had to get up with pain and difficulty when I thought of the delicious meal, thinking how late it was, and when I got up and looked at the time, oh my God, it was an hour earlier than I usually did, no wonder I didn't feel like I had enough sleep.

I can't get up all of my family, and I, the one who is going out today, can't sleep there. After getting up and washing up in a hurry, my father had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and I walked through the courtyard and found many people, some carrying boxes, some carrying burdens, and some pushing carriages.

I came to my father with a strange look and asked, "I'm going to go out for a while, won't it be such a big battle?" Do you want to move your home with me? ”

The father said angrily: "You kid want to be beautiful, this has nothing to do with you, a month later is the centennial celebration of our shop, I plan to hold a treasure appreciation conference, to show the strength of our Wenbao Zhai, this time I wanted to personally escort these treasures to Xi'an Mansion, this is not you just going to go, I will let you go with them, lest you go out to find a southeast and northwest are not clear, let alone find the road to Xi'an." ”

I suddenly realized this problem, I really haven't been to Xi'an, and I really don't know how to get there.

I immediately said with a wicked smile on my face: "It's still my father who thinks thoughtfully, otherwise I might come back again after a circle!" ”

My father looked helpless, he was used to my hippie smile at home, and then said: "Don't go out so casually, this time we will go to Xi'an Mansion together, first, the caravan will lead the way for you, second, you will protect the safety of the caravan, and third, you can sharpen and sharpen in the rivers and lakes." You also know that every time something of such a large scale is transported to Xi'an Mansion, it is for my father and I to go into battle personally, otherwise how could those thieves and bandits on the road along the way easily let go of this piece of fat! ”

As soon as I heard this, I became interested, the kung fu I learned in the past few years is to fight with myself, practice with myself, there is no use at all, I don't know if it's useful, every time I fight with my father, I am also very familiar with my father's moves, and I have no feeling of competition at all.

I was even happier to have such a good opportunity this time, and immediately assured my father: "No problem, you can rest assured, it is no problem to protect this little thing." ”

Father said with a serious face: "How can the rivers and lakes be as you think, you can gallop with martial arts alone, many martial arts masters are killed by those insidious villains in the rivers and lakes with three indiscriminate means, you must be careful everywhere when you go out, everything is calm, this time Uncle Wu was specially called back from the store in Xi'an, personally charged the goods, and taught you well." ”

Uncle Wu has followed his father since he was a child, traveled south and north, and knows a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Before I had time to think about it, Uncle Wu had come to me and my father, looked at me and said, "Master, the young master has grown so big, the last time I saw him was five or six years ago, and I was still an ignorant hairy young man at that time!" ”

Uncle Wu was dressed in a green robe, wearing a scarf, his face was slightly yellow, two mustaches were left on his mouth, a pinch of mustache hung down on his chin, and a willow leaf thin sword was wrapped around his waist.

After Uncle Wu finished speaking, I hurriedly replied: "Uncle Wu, you haven't come to see me for five or six years, I almost can't recognize you!" ”

Uncle Wu and his father looked at each other and smiled: "Young master, I'm busy with old Wu, the old man handed over the store in Xi'an Mansion to me to manage, I really can't leave!" ”

I also smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, you are a busy man, you have to teach me well when you go out this time, and take me to see the world more!" ”

Uncle Wu said implicitly: "Look at what you said, young master, Lao Wu and I will eat a few years longer than you, and we are not as good as you in other aspects!" ”

I continued: "Uncle Wu, don't be modest, I've heard my father say a lot of your heroic deeds!" Also, don't call me the young master in the future, I'm really uncomfortable to be called, you just call me Tiancheng! ”

Uncle Wu was busy trying to defend again, and his father put down Uncle Wu and said: "Old Wu, you are the elder of Tiancheng, he calls you Uncle Wu, you call him Tiancheng, it should be!" ”

I also nodded again and again on the side, and Uncle Wu saw that his father also said the same, and said with a smile on his face: "Then I might as well be respectful and obey!" ”

All three of us burst out laughing.

I hurriedly beckoned my father and Uncle Wu to sit down for dinner, and after eating, we set off in the morning, this journey is a long way! Uncle Wu hurriedly finished eating and said that he was going to check the goods and went out, my father and I sat there, feeling that there was a lot to say, but for a while I didn't know where to start, and the scene was cold in an instant.

Seeing that the scene was so embarrassing, I asked my father with a wicked smile again: "Dad, why don't you go to Xi'an Mansion with me, why do you want Uncle Wu to run back and forth?" ”

Father smiled: "I have watched you grow up since I was a child, you have almost no contact with outsiders except for the people in the village, I want to see if you are with others or can handle things independently, I can't let you grow up under my protection for the rest of your life, right?" ”

I suddenly understood my father's intentions, and they all said that "father's love is as great as a mountain, and mother's love is like a trickle" is not false at all.

I smiled at my father knowingly, and at this time, Uncle Wu entered the door and said, "Master, everything is packed up, when do you think you will leave?" ”

My father looked at me, and I smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the room and get something!" ”

Father nodded.

I ran back to my room with a cigarette, picked up the package I had prepared last night, took out the dragon scales under the pillow and put them in my arms, and then I found this dress, and then I remembered what happened last night, and quickly took everything and came to the hall.

My father was sitting there thinking about something, Uncle Wu was no longer there, I took out my clothes, my father was shocked when he saw the clothes and then calmed down instantly, I told last night's dream, and my father said that the clothes were put by him last night, saying that I was dreaming and confused, but just now he saw the clothes and was obviously shocked The moment made me have countless questions in my heart, what is going on?

The father said, "Hurry up and put your clothes in your package, and get ready to go!" ”

I saw that my father had no intention of explaining any more, so he didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Uncle Wu came in and asked me if I was ready, I picked up the package and shook it at Uncle Wu, and my father got up and said to send us outside the village. Then I, Uncle Wu and my father came to the gate of the courtyard, and I had been waiting there for a long time, so I went up and stroked it.

Uncle Wu shouted playfully as the convoy drove in front, and I pulled Taqing and my father to walk behind, and the two of us were silent along the way, but I could feel all my father's heartfelt advice, the road out of the village was not short, but this time I walked the fastest one I can remember.

At the entrance of the village, my father told Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu waited in front of the convoy.

My father came to look at me for a long time and said, "When you go out, everything is about safety!" ”

I didn't know what to say at this time, so I knelt down and kowtowed to my father three times.

My father helped me up, and I said with a wicked smile, "Dad, take care of yourself!" Come to Xi'an Mansion to see me early! ”

Father nodded slightly.

I jumped on horseback, to my father arched his fist, my father smiled helplessly and also gave my fist to me, I clamped my legs, stepped out of the green gallop, and came to the front of the convoy in a flash, I said to Uncle Wu to explore the way, Uncle Wu nodded and agreed, the green gallop has run out of four or five hundred meters away, I gently pulled the reins and stepped on the green will immediately stop, look back, my father is still standing in place and watching me, I waved my hand to my father vigorously, then turned his head and ran away.

Out of the village to two or three kilometers away is the Yellow River, there is a bridge on the Yellow River to connect the opposite bank, cross the bridge in the low mountain four or five kilometers forward is the county seat of Wubao. According to my father and Uncle Wu's wishes, we first took advantage of Wubao County to rest and replenish our supplies at our branch in the county seat, and then went west to Suide and then all the way south to Xi'an.

I rode a horse and stood on the bridge of the Yellow River, looking back at the place where I had lived for 20 years, the rolling Yellow River under my feet rushed by, and a few wisps of green smoke rose from the dotted villages in the distance.

The sun of the Yellow River goes, the clear water, the blue sky and the blue smoke are straight.

Recalling his childhood dreams, the rivers and lakes can still be known before the rain.

After expressing my feelings, I vaguely saw Uncle Wu's convoy coming slowly, I lifted the reins, stepped on the ground with a long roar and then ran away, a touch of loess flying behind me.

It is only seven or eight kilometers from the village to the county seat of Wubao, and Uncle Wu and I agreed that I would wait for him in front of the county gate.

This area is all within my father's sphere of influence, and there are no thieves and bandits, so it is a relatively peaceful area.

I rode a bag of cigarettes and saw the county city wall from afar, and I was very excited and came to the city gate after a while. I looked around to find a shady place to rest for a while, and saw a tea shed a hundred zhang away from the right side of the city gate, and a willow tree beside it, which was very pleasing to my liking, and I immediately drove my horse there.

The guy in the distance saw the visitor and immediately shouted: "Guest officer, please have been tired all the way, hot tea, snacks, side dishes, good wine, beef and dried food, what do you want to have?" ”

I thought to myself that this store is really good at doing business, that is, providing tea and snacks for passers-by, and preparing dry food for people who are in a hurry, which shows the shrewdness of the owner.

I followed my fellow's words: "A pot of tea, and some water for my horses!" ”

After the guy understood, he shouted: "Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." ”

After a while, a pot of tea was served, and I took a sip of it, and it tasted pretty good, and it was already a pleasure to be able to drink this kind of tea in such a place. I drank tea and watched more and more people entering the city, and I was happy that I rarely saw so many people in my heart.

At this time, a fiery Taoist sat down on the table opposite me and shouted: "Xiao Er, a pot of good daughter red, three catties of cooked beef, three stacks of side dishes come up quickly!" ”

The fellow immediately said yes and went to the back to get ready.

I just looked at this Taoist carefully, this Taoist wearing a scarf, wearing a blue robe with a white background, holding a folding fan in his right hand, and a shabby banner on his left hand has been placed on the table, I turned around to look at it, it is written on the four big characters of "asking divination and divination", this Taoist looks a little fairy, but this dress is more like a charlatan who pretends to be a ghost.

At this time, above the wine and food, the Taoist gobbled up, eating meat and drinking in a big bowl, and in a blink of an eye, the table was already full of wind and clouds, I thought to myself that this person did not abide by the rules, he must be a drunken person, and the shabby banner must be a swaggering and deceitful person.

When the man had eaten and drunk, he didn't get angry when he noticed that I was paying attention to him, but looked at me carefully, and I glanced at the man and stopped looking at him.

Who knew that the man took the folding fan, carried the banner and walked straight to my desk and asked, "Can Childe take this opportunity to sit?" ”

Although I don't think he is a good person, I haven't seen other people's swaggering and deception, not to mention that people are so polite, I can't lose my courtesy, so I replied casually: "The Taoist is light."

The man sat down and kept staring at my face, and I was so embarrassed that I couldn't help but ask, "Do I have food on my face?" ”

The Taoist shook his head and said nothing!

I then asked, "Is there a sweat smear?" ”

The Taoist shook his head again!

I asked, "Is there anything ugly?" ”

The Taoist continued to shake his head!

I finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Taoist look at me for a long time, I am not a woman, Mr. ......?"

The man interrupted my words and said with a face full of surprise: "Childe is born with a good face"!

I was speechless, and said angrily: "If the Taoist chief wants to sit here, if you want to tell your fortune, then please do it!" As I spoke, I pointed to the table where he was sitting.

The man laughed and said: "I have asked divination and fortune telling countless times in my life, all of which are passive, and they are all done by others with a lot of money, this is the first time I have taken the initiative to show fortune telling to others"!

I was so happy when I heard this, I thought to myself that you are just a person who blows in front of others, and you don't want to cheat any money in front of me!

The Taoist saw my thoughts, and did not question directly, but continued to ask, "Is the son willing to worship as a teacher?" ”

I almost didn't squirt the tea out of my mouth when I heard that.

Seeing this, the Taoist laughed and said, "It is the first time in my life that I have taken the initiative to accept disciples."

I thought to myself, you're just swindling yourself, and you're going to drag me into the water, isn't that insulting my IQ?

But my small psychological changes did not escape the eyes of the Dao man, and the Dao man said, "Is Childe a market man who suspects that he is swindling?" ”

I acquiesced in my silence, and muttered in my heart that you said it yourself, and I didn't say it.

The Taoist laughed: "That's it, Childe, I will say three things, if you guess right, Childe worships under the teacher, if you guess wrong, I will pay for the tea money!" As he spoke, the man pointed to something on my desk.

I almost laughed out loud, thinking that this person has made a good deal, I have to worship you as a teacher if I lose, and if I win, you will invite me to drink a pot of tea, this time I am obviously at a loss, I don't play this child's game with you, just get up and leave.

The man sat there leisurely and didn't stop me, but just said loudly: "First, the son lost his mother since he was a child, and his father brought him up."

I paused and hesitated, thinking that there was something strange about this, maybe the man was just guessing right, and I continued on my way.

The man continued: "Second, Childe has a unique skill, and there are very few people in the world who can match him."

I stood still and looked at the man, full of surprise but his face did not change, how did this person know that I have martial arts, from the time I came out of the village to now I have even the luck of raising the luck of the unique, if he guesses that I have martial arts, I don't believe it, but this peerless martial arts so far only I and my father know, how can this person see? I've got to get to the bottom of it. I deliberately pretended not to be, smiled contemptuously at the Taoist, and went to untie the reins of my horse and prepare to ride away.

The man also said unhurriedly: "Third, Gongzi will go to Xi'an Mansion first and then go to the Northeast."

This is not to say, I was shocked again, the matter of going to the Northeast is my family's top secret, and it is also what my father and I talked about in the secret room, how can outsiders know, could it be that this Taoist really has the true ability to ask fortune telling, I re-tied the reins of the horse, and went back to sit opposite the Taoist.

The Taoist was not surprised to see me sitting back, as if he had known this.

I clasped my fists with both hands and apologized to the Taoist: "Daoist, forgive the rudeness of the juniors just now!" ”

The man smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

I immediately asked, "Can you tell me the name of the Dao Chief?" ”

The Taoist smiled and said: "Those worldly fame and fortune are not enough to worry about, you and I meet today, it is already a destiny of God, if the son can afford my old Tao, can you worship as a teacher?" ”

I was already extremely reckless just now, completely throwing my father's words out of the clouds, and the old Tao repeatedly asked me to worship his disciples with full sincerity, not to mention the ability of the Taoist is even more so. If I refuse, I will be an ignorant child and arrogant! Besides, I won't suffer a loss when I apprentice, and maybe I can learn the art of divination.

I flashed these thoughts, and after a while, I knelt on the ground and clasped my fists with both hands and said: "If you don't give up, I'm willing to worship you as a teacher!" ”

Say and prostrate to three.

The Taoist leader hurriedly helped me up, sat me down at the table and said, "Since you worship my old Tao as a teacher, and I have accepted you as an apprentice, my old Taoist will naturally teach you what I have learned all my life.

I just remembered the three things that the Taoist had just blurted out, and I was about to open my mouth to ask the Taoist, but the Taoist sent my hand to signal me not to continue asking, and I didn't ask anymore.

Then, the Taoist took out a brocade-wrapped thing from his arms, and the Taoist opened the brocade, and an ancient book was presented in front of my eyes, on which were written the three seal characters of "Wentianlu".

The Taoist chief went on to say: "This book was written by my teacher with the understanding of his life, and after most of my life's correction and annotation, it contains a lot of things, and I present it to you today, you should study it carefully, and it will be of great use to you in the future."

I hurriedly excused myself, I just finished worshipping the teacher to accept such a valuable thing, it is not unreasonable, the Taoist knew the reason for my refusal, so he said sternly: "I have never accepted apprentices in my life, today you are the first and last, from your face I have already concluded that this book is not you can not play its extreme." You have already worshipped me as a teacher, and if this book is reasonable, don't shirk it."

I saw that the Taoist chief spoke very sincerely, and I was embarrassed to refuse again, so I accepted it, and my heart was full of infinite gratitude to the Taoist chief, this was really flattering to give me such a valuable thing when I met for the first time in my life.

I put away the books and hid them in my arms, and I chatted with the Taoist, and only then did I know that the Taoist knew astronomy and geography, and knew the past and present lives, which was really a strange generation, and he refused to answer when asked about the Taoist's law number several times.

During the period, I asked the chief what my fate was, the Taoist took out a bamboo tube from the cloth bag, which was stuffed with all kinds of bamboo sticks, he handed it to me, I know this thing, used to shake the stick for divination, I picked up the stick holder with both hands and held it sincerely above my head, shook it three times, and a bamboo stick suddenly fell on the table. The Taoist picked up the bamboo stick, and I looked forward to seeing the Taoist to help me untie the stick, but the Taoist was full of doubts at the moment, and finally he put the bamboo stick in front of me, with four lines of text written on it:

The Trojan horse is behind the grass, and the city is married in the previous life.

The witch was drunk and still didn't wake up, and the Dian horse entered Cainan for half of her life.

I asked with a suspicious face, "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

The Taoist picked up the bamboo stick and turned around, and the back was written "Destiny, no solution", and the master also shook his head.

This makes me even more confused, what is my fate? The master frowned when he saw me, and said slowly: "Let it be, everything has its own arrangements!" ”

After saying that, the master saw that it was not too early and got up to leave, so I hurriedly stepped forward to stop the master and said, "Master, this is already afternoon, wait for my friend to arrive, let's go to my shop in the city to stay, and then talk slowly!" ”

The master laughed and said: "I am used to being idle and wild cranes, and I am not used to living in the noisy city, you must remember to study the book given to you by the teacher, and we will meet again when we are fated." Then I picked up the banner and floated away, I watched the master for a long time, and then sat back in place when I couldn't see the figure, look at the hour, Uncle Wu should be almost there, I ordered another pot of tea and continued to wait for the caravan to arrive.
