Back at the Taoist temple, it was almost dark, and there was only one person in the courtyard, Lao Si Ganyu, who was casually chopping firewood, but kept looking at the southern hillside.

Suddenly, there was a clattering sound of tree branches shaking, and I saw the fat second brother Gan Lei showing his head, and he dragged the two bloody beasts up the hill with great difficulty, followed by Guo Song, who had two large bamboo baskets on his back.

"You're back!"

Ganyu shook off the firewood knife and greeted him, he squatted down and looked at the two skinny wolves, gave a thumbs up and praised: "I knew that my senior brother would definitely have a big harvest today." ”

"! When am I not going to go out of the horse? Ouch! I'm tired today. ”

He left the two wolf carcasses, rubbed his back and walked towards the kitchen.

Ganyu hurriedly took Guo Song's bamboo basket again, looked back at Gan Lei, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" The third child didn't bully you today! ”

Guo Song smiled: "If it weren't for Senior Brother today, I would have almost been ....... today."

Before he could finish speaking, Gan Lei suddenly poked his head out and glared at him dissatisfiedly, "You promise me!" ”

Guo Song promised not to mention the black bear, he almost leaked his mouth, and immediately changed his words: "I was almost killed by two wolves." ”

Ganyu turned around suspiciously and asked, "Third child, didn't you go to the back mountain today?" How do you meet a wolf? ”

Gan Lei smiled, "How do I know, maybe they came to say hello to the little junior brother, anyway, tomorrow you are responsible for giving the two wolves to Wutai those miscellaneous hairs." ”

"The third child!"

Mu Zhenren appeared at the door of the room, glared at Gan Lei fiercely, and said: "I'll remind you one last time, if you open your mouth and close your mouth again, I will pluck all the miscellaneous hairs on your head!" ”

Gan Lei scratched his head, nodded and said, "Master, I didn't mean you, the disciple said ....... good!" Good! The disciple promised not to say anything more. ”

He turned around and slipped into the kitchen, and Mu Zhenren said to Guo Song again: "Go eat first, and then come to me!" ”

"Yes! Master. ”

Guo Song and Ganyu dragged the wolf and the bamboo basket into the kitchen together, the senior brother Gan Feng took the bamboo basket and cleaned it up, Guo Song also filled a big bowl of fern powder porridge and devoured it.

Mu Zhenren is not mean to his apprentices, he can eat three meals a day, two meals in the morning and evening in the Taoist temple, and one meal at noon requires the apprentices to figure out their own way.

If he hadn't met the black bear at noon today, Guo Song would have eaten a delicious meal of rabbit meat, but unfortunately a fat rabbit would have cheapened the black guy.

"Huh! Boss, who is this medicine for? The third Gan Lei suddenly found a thick pot of medicine boiling in the clay pot, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Senior Brother Gan Feng nodded to Guo Songnu, "Of course it's for the little junior brother, do you want to drink it a second time?" ”

Gan Lei pouted, "Come on! I drank so much that I vomited, and I won't drink it anymore after beating me to death. ”

The fourth Ganyu patted Guo Song on the shoulder, and said with some schadenfreude: "Little junior brother, your good days are coming, you have to hold on!" ”

Guo Song was a little puzzled and asked, "Everyone has drunk this medicine?" ”

Gan Lei stepped forward with a big fat face, blinked his little eyes and said: "Except for the senior brother, he was old when he went up the mountain, and it was useless to drink it, the other three of us have drunk it, and we have drunk it for three years, and we must drink it every night, that ecstasy!" I can't forget it now. ”

'Smack! ’

Gan Feng slapped him on the back of the head, and scolded angrily: "Your stinky mouth should be beaten, the old man can only be called by the master, and if you call me the old man again, it is disrespectful to the master." ”

"I know! I know! ”

Gan Lei smiled and scratched the back of the senior brother, and comforted him: "You are still young, I called you old, next time I will call you Li Daotong, be satisfied!" ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Guo Song again, Guo Song touched the back of his head, and laughed, a few senior brothers are really interesting!

…………

At the beginning of the night, Guo Song sat in Mu Zhenren's room, he felt a little strange in his heart, why didn't the Taoist priest of Qingxuguan do his homework? Doing practical things, or reciting scriptures, and so on, it seems that the senior brothers have nothing else to do except work.

"What are you thinking?" Mu Zhenren smiled faintly.

"Master, why don't we study the scriptures? It has been a month since the disciple entered the Qingxu Meditation, and apart from meditating in the morning and reciting the morning sutra, it seems that he has never been exposed to other scriptures, and the fourth senior brother said that he does not know much about the scriptures. ”

"Do you really want to learn the scriptures?"

"That's not true, the disciple just thinks it's a little strange."

"It's not surprising, why does the Zixiao Heavenly Palace call us Wild Dao, in fact, this is the reason, we only practice martial arts, collect medicine, and forage for food, in their opinion, we are not doing our job."

Mu Zhenren shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not that you don't learn the scriptures, your senior brother is proficient in teaching the Fa, he has mastered the "Dadong Zhenjing", "Huang Ting Jing", "Taishang Zhengyi Mengwei Jingjing" and "Shangqing Three Caves and Five Thunder Sutras", can open the altar and do the dojo alone, among your five senior brothers, only he is dedicated to the Tao, and the other four are practicing martial arts in the name of learning the Tao, and I will also fulfill you." ”

Guo Song was silent, he really didn't have the heart of Taoism, at first he just wanted to find a place to eat and live safely until he was eighteen years old, but after he witnessed the martial arts of the third and fourth senior brothers, he began to yearn for martial arts.

"Your three senior brothers are all learning chivalrous martial arts, and you are learning martial arts, your way of practicing martial arts is different, you'd better not be affected by them, although the external performance is the same, but in fact there is still a big difference."

Mu Zhenren did not continue on this issue, he smiled and said: "From tonight, you are going to take medicine, you have to take it for five consecutive years, medicine can strengthen your muscles and bones, and it is the foundation of your strength, almost every martial artist needs medicine assistance, but the formula is different, the medicine I prepared for you is the recipe left by Immortal Gu Wei Cunhua, it is very unpalatable, this will be a great test of your perseverance, if you can't persevere, you will achieve nothing." ”

Guo Song's heart jumped, the master actually mentioned Wei Cunhua, could it be that he really found the Spiritual Cave?

Guo Song hurriedly suppressed this thought in his heart, not daring to ask more.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "The two senior brothers both said that they had taken medicine for three years. ”

"I just said that the martial arts you practice are different, and the formulas of your medicines are also different, understand?"

"Disciple understood!"

Mu Zhenren continued: "I won't deliberately teach you to practice the hidden weapon flying knife, nor will I deliberately teach you to practice light skills, in the next five years, I will only teach you to practice the sword style and body technique, and when you practice to the extreme, I will teach you something else." ”

Mu Zhenren took out three swords from the box, to be precise, three sword-shaped iron rods, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "This is probably the ugliest sword in the world, one is eight catties, one is eighteen catties, one is twenty-eight catties, you practice eight catties of swords in the first three years, eighteen catties of swords in the fourth year, and twenty-eight catties in the fifth year, this is my progress back then, but your talent is very good, maybe you can advance it." ”

From the master's words, Guo Song heard a hint of clues, and he asked cautiously: "Is the martial arts that the disciple learned the same as the master's martial arts?" ”

Mu Zhenren nodded, "The entire Kongtong Mountain is practicing chivalrous martial arts, only I am the only one who practices the martial arts, when Sun Simiao and Master Pei Min met me, they both said that I would fake my death at forty-five, and at the end of seventy, he was already half right, so I only have ten years left, I hope you can inherit my mantle." ”

Guo Song nodded silently, he didn't know if he would disappoint his master.

"What questions do you have? It's getting late, and I might be able to answer you a question. ”

There are two questions that have always lingered in Guo Song's heart, one is the master's lay identity, and the other is the secret of the Spiritual Cave, but relatively speaking, Guo Song is more interested in the master's lay identity.

He mustered up the courage to ask, "Can the disciple know Master's layman's name?" ”

Mu Zhenren smiled slightly, "Actually, it's nothing, the emperor also knows that I am hiding here, last year he sent a guard to secretly pass on the decree to me, as a result, several of your senior brothers know my secret, I can tell you, but I hope you don't spread it, I used to be called Wang Zhonghe, have you heard of it?" ”

Guo Song was taken aback, Master Mu Zhenren was the famous general Wang Zhongsi of the Northern Expedition to the Khitan, defeated the Turks and Tibet, and was the official envoy to the Four Towns Festival? But.... Didn't he die violently in history?

Mu Zhenren smiled faintly, "The Son of Heaven gave me a death medicine, and at the same time gave me a crude medicine, I took the death medicine in front of the envoys, and took the crude medicine after the envoys left, Wang Zhonghei died, but Mu Zhenren came back to life, I said goodbye to my wife and children, and came to Kongtong Mountain, which stayed for fifteen years." ”

Seeing Guo Song's shocked face, Mu Zhenren smiled and handed him the eight-pound short iron sword, "Just follow the moves I taught you in the morning, practice for an hour, drink the medicine and go to sleep, go!" ”
