Little Ash? It's a harmonious name, isn't it? The two brothers both had black lines on their faces, and they originally wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, but who knew that this flower was originally someone else's.

Chen Bing slowly let go of the chicken in his hand, and let it swagger out of the yard, a handful of reddish chicken feathers on his buttocks, swaying from side to side very arrogantly. At this time, Chen Bing had mixed feelings in his heart, thinking that he had stolen a chicken for Chenzi back then, and was chased by the old man with a hoe all over the village, making it known to the whole village. Last night, I was lucky to catch a pheasant and was regarded as a chicken thief by Ye Chen. This morning, another ghost sent a god to catch someone's long-standing chicken. What is this called, is it that I have been with this chicken in this life? Chen Bing thought to himself, it won't be his birthday and chicken, he has to find a fortune teller to calculate a hexagram for himself when he goes back.

Seeing that no one answered, Lao Dao stretched his waist again, and said, "Although it looks, it is not", laughed after speaking, slowly walked down the three-step wooden staircase in front of the door, and walked towards the vegetable garden. Looking at the back of the blue-clothed old man, Chen Bing had 10,000 grass and mud horses running wildly in his heart, could it be that all the masters in the world were so naughty! Ye Chen also regretted coming here a little at this time, looking at the words and deeds of the old Taoist, it was a little different from the worldly master he thought in his heart. But after thinking about it, it's all here, after all, people can't fake it after living so nourishing for so many years, no matter how many books you learn in advance, there will be no harm. Thinking of this, he turned around and bowed to the blue-clothed old man: "I implore the Taoist elder to accept my two brothers as apprentices." ”

The old Dao's watering hand shook slightly, and then returned to normal, and said softly: "Poor Dao has no great talent, and he can't teach you any skills, so please go back." ”

Ye Chen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Dao Chief, the two of us just want to learn some skills, as for what to learn, it is all up to the Dao Chief's arrangement." ”

After hearing this, Chen Bing whispered: "Chenzi, I don't think it's okay, people don't have that mind at all." ”

Ye Chen glanced at him and continued: "Dao Chief, just the fact that you can live in this mountain is more than flexible, it is enough for the two of us to study for ten years and eight years, and I ask the Dao Master to accept us." ”

The blue-clothed old man turned his head and smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a charlatan?" ”

"I believe in my eyes", Ye Chen said sonorously.

The blue-clothed Taoist nodded and said, "I won't accept you, but if you are willing, come and accompany me at this time of day to relieve my boredom." ”

When Ye Chen heard this, this matter was slowed down, and he hurriedly returned: "Okay, good!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Bing also leaned over and agreed.

Then I heard the old Taoist in blue say: "If I don't accept you, I'm afraid that it will affect you, and you will understand in the future", after speaking, he walked to the depths of the forest, and he didn't know what to do, only Ye Chen and Chen Bing were left in the courtyard in a quiet daze.

After a while, the two of them reacted, looked at each other, and ran in the direction of the blue-clothed old road.

At the top of Dayu Mountain, the blue-clothed old Taoist sat cross-legged, looked at the two people sitting opposite, and said softly: "Although you two are not under my door, but in the future, I will be regarded as half an apprentice, although there is no master-apprenticeship, the friendship will naturally not be light, today I will formally introduce myself", I saw the blue-clothed old Taoist clear his throat and continued: "My name is Wu Jinsong, you can call me Mr. Wu in the future." Nine years ago, when I was passing by this place, I saw that the village at the foot of the mountain was in disarray, so I suggested that the old man who taught should establish this nameless town. Later, I saw that the scenery of Dayu Mountain was very good, and I had a little greed in my heart, and it would be good if I could grow old here. Because they were afraid that the villagers would encounter a poor road when they went up the mountain, they would disturb the quiet, so they settled in a remote place not far from the top of the mountain. ”

Chen Bing and Ye Chen were both shocked, it turned out that Mr. Wu was here at the beginning of the establishment of the nameless town, and the famous person in Mr. Teach's mouth was this Mr. Wu. Ye Chen looked at Wu Jinsong and said, "Sir, then why didn't you tell us that you lived in Shangshan at that time, so that everyone could still take care of anything." ”

Wu Jinsong waved his hand and said: "I'm used to being pure alone, I don't like many people, and I don't like anything to go up the mountain, I can't eat or drink, I'm happy." After speaking, Wu Daochang looked at Ye Chen and Chen Bing.

Seeing this, Chen Bing hurriedly said: "Sir, my name is Chen Bing, his name is Ye Chen, and we played together when we first arrived in this nameless town. ”

Wu Jinsong smiled and nodded: "Then why do you two want to learn from a teacher?" ”

Ye Chen took over the conversation: "Mr. Hui, I want to learn some skills, and then go out to have a look." ”

Wu Jin Song sighed and continued to ask, "Then what do you two want to learn?" ”

Chen Bing stood up and said, "Sir, is there any kind of martial arts that is easy to practice, but very powerful in fighting?" ”

Wu Jinsong replied with a smile: "Yes, in a dream!" ”

After Ye Chen listened, he leaned back and closed his laughter, Chen Bing touched his head and smiled stupidly, and sat down cross-legged again.

Wu Jinsong continued: "The so-called martial arts are actually some fighting skills that practice makes perfect, and there are no legendary peerless martial arts in the world. Some sects of martial arts, when you practice a lot and go through enough actual combat baptism, you will be able to understand the mystery. Martial arts is not so magical, what is magical is that the person who practices has a flexible brain and is bold enough, and the effect will naturally be unexpected. ”

Chen Bing hurriedly asked, "Then sir, what kind of martial arts will you have?" ”

Wu Jin Song said: "Don't worry, you two are trotting from here to the foot of the mountain now, remember that you can't stop in the middle, no matter how slow it is, just run." ”

Ye Chen and Chen Bing looked at each other, this is Dayu Mountain, the descent of the mountain is equivalent to twenty miles, and this is still a potholed road, this must not exhaust people to death. The brothers were tired enough to climb up this morning, and they still haven't eased up a bit.

Chen Bing pouted and said, "Sir, I will go down the mountain and come up again in a while, it is estimated that my leg will be wasted, can I run half of it?" ”

Wu Jinsong's eyes widened: "Want to learn?" Then hurry up! ”

Ye Chen's heart was horizontal, so he should exercise for a while every morning, but he was bitter. But when he thought of Bingzi's tired appearance, Ye Chen's depressed mood improved again.

The two slowly stood up and ran down the mountain, and Mr. Wu's voice came from behind them: "You don't have to come up today, tomorrow or this time to trot up the mountain, don't be lazy, I can see it." As soon as they heard this, both brothers let out a sigh of relief, and the gentleman was still kind.

An hour later, at the foot of Dayu Mountain, Ye Chen was panting with his hands on his waist. And Chen Bing was lying on the ground, his chest constantly rising and falling. Chen Bing looked up at Ye Chen and said, "Chenzi, you said that Mr. won't make fun of us, how can there be such a martial arts practice, if it comes down in seven or eight days, I won't be so thin that my parents don't know me." ”

Ye Chen replied: "Mr. has his own reason, and this is not too outrageous, if you run with me every morning, you won't be so tired", Ye Chen looked at Chen Bing and smiled: "Hurry up, it's best not to lie on the ground immediately after strenuous exercise, otherwise your whole body will be sore the next day, get up and walk slowly for a while." ”

Chen Bingjiang climbed up suspiciously: "What kind of theory are you, why don't I know?" ”

"Because Lao Tzu has suffered this sin," said the two of them as they walked towards the village.

The next morning, the two of them sneaked up the hill again, trotting all the way as if they were thieves. During this period, Chen Bing wanted to sit down and rest several times, but was dragged forward by Ye Chen, causing Chen Bing to only run for a while and climb a few times, and his tired lungs were about to explode. Finally, I ran to the cabin, but there was no trace of Mr. Wu, so I could only continue to run to the top of the mountain.

Not long after, after arriving at the top of the mountain, Chen Bingyi sat on a stone and bowed his head and dressed roughly. Ye Chen was also tired with his hands on his waist, lowering his head and panting heavily. Wu Jinsong looked at the two of them and nodded with satisfaction: "It's not bad, it's finally climbing!" Seeing that there is no bamboo basket on the ground, there is a stone axe in it, each person will go and cut me twenty wooden sticks with the thickness of a calf, one person is high, and I will be useful. ”

Chen Bing groaned: "Sir, rest for a while, rest for a while." ”

Wu Jin Song raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then continue to run down the mountain." ”

Ye Chen hurriedly stood up and flattered Wu Jin Song: "Sir, Bingzi is farting blindly, let's go now, let's go now", after speaking, he kicked Chen Bing, took the bamboo basket and ran away. Chen Bing looked reluctant, and followed behind and said: "Chenzi, why do I think he is teasing us, how can there be such a way to teach people to practice, isn't this a waste of people!" ”

Ye Chen sighed: "Mr. probably wants us to improve our physical strength, without good physical strength, no matter how good the martial arts are, it is useless, it is not the same as the groom's official drunk and candle night in the cave room."

Chen Bing was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Ye Chen smiled sheepishly: "I have more than enough heart but not enough strength!" ”

Wu Jinsong stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the two people, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed that smile, after nine years, he seemed to see the figure he was once proud of, but unfortunately after the fight nine years ago, it was separated from heaven and man.

……

Gyeonggi Province, Anhua Palace, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan sat on the dragon chair, looked directly at Wang Yongwen, the head of the military department kneeling below, and said slightly angrily: "I heard that a few days ago, someone jointly wrote to Daocheng of North China Province, saying that dozens of veterans who died in the war for the country are about to be unable to open the pot in their homes, and no one cares. ”

Wang Yongwen stood up tremblingly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the lower officials, these dozens of people were all killed in the war when An Liguo invaded Northern Xinjiang nine years ago, and the pension at that time was indeed not handled by Weichen, but Weichen has already sent someone to North China Province to investigate." In addition......"

"Say anything, what else is in front of me, quickly", the emperor said angrily.

Wang Yongwen bowed his head and continued: "In addition, according to the minister's recent investigation, not only North China Province, but also West China Road and East China Province have abnormal pensions. ”

The emperor's eyebrows widened slightly: "Go check!" We can't let some moths chill the hearts of my northern warriors. ”

"Minister, obey the order", Wang Yongwen then slowly withdrew from Anhua Palace.

Zhu Chengyuan turned his head to look at Li Xianlai, the first assistant of the cabinet, who was sitting below to give instructions on the papers, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Li Xianlai got up and walked to the hall and bowed his head and said: "The minister thinks that there is no problem with the Dao Chengdao Mansion of these three Dao, after all, they are all people from the Fengjiang Academy in the academy back then, and the problem may lie in the people who carry out this matter." ”

The emperor hummed and said: "Even if it has nothing to do, there is a responsibility for negligence", and then looked at the second assistant Lai Si on the side and continued: "Proposed decree, Wu Qing of North China Dao Cheng and Wang Junren of Daofu have the responsibility of negligence, and they will be deducted for one year to see the after-effects. In addition, Wu Qing sent people to assist the officials of the military department in finding out the ins and outs of the pension incident, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Lai Si got up and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Qing has been detained for six years before, and the silver he borrowed from the minister at the end of the year before last has not been repaid, are you considering changing the punishment, otherwise when will the minister's silver come back?" ”

Li Xianlai on the side smiled and said nothing, and the emperor didn't seem to hear anything, and said: "I'm tired, go to sleep for a while, you can retire by yourself after you are busy", and after speaking, he walked to the dormitory at the back of the main hall, leaving Lai Si staring at the direction of the emperor's departure, and stopped talking.
