Chapter 9: Storytelling
Duan Zhong proudly picked up the rabbit from the "Mao Pit", and wiped some snow on his swollen head, then beckoned like a zongzi: "Let's go, let's roast the rabbit." ”
Zongzi nodded happily: "Where to bake?" ”
"Chongsheng Temple."
So Duan Zhong led the zongzi, trekked back to the door of the broken temple, picked up a few stones and branches, and built a stove in a similar way.
Duan Zhong carefully tied up the snow rabbit that was struggling in his arms and tied it to a branch. commanded the zongzi to keep rubbing the flint. Seeing that the sparks were rising, and the firewood in the stove was already faintly green smoke, Duan Zhong suddenly came to his senses. He took off his coat and carefully surrounded this little spark, for fear of being blown out by the strong wind on the mountain.
In this way, the master and servant leaned on the wall of the Chongsheng Temple and started a barbecue plan at the door of this thousand-year-old temple.
Seeing the fire gradually rising, the rabbit struggling in the snow had become fragrant crispy meat in the eyes of the two. Duan Zhong finally stood up and yelled at the temple: "The old immortal in this temple, Lao Tzu wants to roast rabbit meat in front of your house to eat, do you want to come out and eat two bites?" ”
Duan Chong's eyes were a little expectant, but he still responded with the closed temple door. Duan Zhong wiped his nose, snorted in a daze, pulled out the sword at his waist, and said to himself: "You old immortal guy, are you afraid that Lao Tzu really won't dare to eat it?" As he spoke, he stabbed at the snow rabbit.
Zongzi was a little confused and a little scared, because the people living in this temple were not ordinary people, Duan Chong was so left and old and immortal and right was so old and immortal screamed, so he was not afraid of annoying which one of them, and came out to slaughter the two of them and eat them as a drink?
However, Zongzi watched his master's sword stab, and when he saw that he was about to be stabbed, the master's sword stopped.
Zongzi was very hungry, so he hoped that his master's sword could stab down: "Boss, you stab down." ”
Duan Chong's forehead was sweating, and he said with great difficulty: "I...... I can't stab it......"
When Zongzi was puzzled, the door of this Chongsheng Temple finally "creaked" and slowly opened.
A small novice walked out of the door of the temple and made a gesture to the two: "Two little donors, please inside." ”
Duan Zhong was restrained by an invisible force, and sat heavily in the snow before he regained his freedom. stood up and rubbed his aching buttocks, and said angrily: "Wouldn't it have been enough to invite us in earlier, why don't you waste so much effort?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a figure rushing out of the temple gate, picking up the rabbit thrown in the snow very quickly, loosening the rope, holding the rabbit in his arms, and rushing into the temple very quickly.
All this happened extremely quickly, completely beyond the expectations of the two of them, and Duan Chong's eyes widened even more, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened.
One...... A little Lori? Or is it the very kawaii kind?
Duan Chong's mind suddenly popped up with very evil thoughts: Lori cultivation plan? This ancient temple hidden deep in the mountains is the back garden of the old man in his own family?
It's really ...... The wife is too evil......
————————————————————————————————————————————
Duan Zhong wiped his snot and threw the rice particles that were sticking to his mouth on the ground, and then sat down by the fire to roast the fire. And after eating five large bowls of rice, Zongzi still has no intention of stopping.
Duan Chong's face gradually became ruddy, and he looked at the little novice who was waiting on the side with satisfaction, and said, "Why hasn't that old guy come out yet?" ”
Xiao Shami was obviously very uncomfortable with Duan Chong's words, and was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "The master said, please rest after eating, and then you can go down the mountain." ”
Duan Zhong rubbed his ears, convinced that he had heard correctly: "What? That old immortal wants me to go? ”
Xiao Shami shook his head: "The master said that after entertaining the two, he would send the two down the mountain." The others were not explained. ”
Duan Chong raised his eyebrows: "Lao Tzu has worked so hard to come here, and you want to drive me down the mountain?" That's not a door! I'm telling you, I'm going to live here, and I won't leave until three or five years. ”
Naturally, this little novice had never seen such a posture of playing tricks, and for a while his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly ran towards the backyard, probably complaining to his master.
Duan Zhong was very annoyed, and the consequences were very serious. Thinking that he is also a descendant of the Duan family, this old guy doesn't greet the children of his grandchildren. He refused to show his face. If he hadn't been shocked by the kung fu of subduing Duan Chong with his true qi through the air outside the temple, Duan Chong would have already rushed in and pointed at the old bald donkey's nose and scolded.
What the? Afraid that old guy is hairy? Duan Zhong is a person who has studied English, and Chinese dare not scold, so he will scold in English!
I don't know how long, after Zongzi finished sweeping the table of vegetarian dishes, he finally raised his head with satisfaction, looking at Duan Chong, whose face was flushed, a little uncertain.
At this time, an old monk walked out tremblingly with the support of the little novice. Duan Zhong raised his eyebrows, good guy, the old guy's shelf is really big, and he is finally willing to show up.
This old monk naturally has no hair, but his beard is gray, Duan Chong looked at this old monk's highly respected appearance, it was indeed like the abbot of this thousand-year-old temple, but if it was said that the sword saint in front of him was a sword saint who single-handedly entered the middle tent of the Great Liang army more than thirty years ago, Duan Chong touched his conscience and didn't want to believe it.
"The two little donors came from afar, I don't know if they got lost in the mountains or what? If you get lost, I will ask my disciples to send them down the mountain. I just hope that the two little donors will not tell the location of the mountain gate. ”
Duan Chong raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself that this old monk really didn't know what he was here for? sighed, and decided to make the words clear: "I am a descendant of the old Duan family, and I am here to see the old man in the family today." ”
"Old Duan's family?" This monk was a little **, thought about it for a long time, and finally came back to his senses, "Dali's Duan family? ”
Duan nodded heavily.
The old monk took a breath, and finally sighed, shook his head, and said: "The qualitative junior brother is cultivating in the Qing Dynasty, and he has also told the old man, the people of the Duan family, that he is not there." ”
It turns out that this old guy is really not the ancestor of his own family. Duan Zhong patted his chest and sighed that he was fortunate not to recognize the wrong person. But some people don't understand, why don't the ancestors of their own family see their own family?
The old monk looked at the two silly boys in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "If the two little donors have the idea of visiting their junior brother, they can go back, and the old monk can tell the two of them that the junior brother's body is still very strong, and it will not be a problem to live for another thirty or fifty years." ”
Duan Zhong shook his head: "We didn't just come to visit my family's ancestors. ”
The old abbot was stunned, and seemed to think of something: "If you want to learn the sword, you can give up." ”
"Why?"
"The junior brother does not accept apprentices. In this life, he has also confiscated apprentices. ”
"Then how do you know that he won't take in apprentices in the future?"
The old abbot was choked by Duan Chong's words, and finally shook his head: "If the two little donors use the fast rice, please go back." Although there are no outsiders in our temple, if the two small donors want to stay in the temple for one night before leaving, I will also arrange it. The meaning of expelling people in the words is very obvious.
However, Duan Chong, who would be scared away when he saw such a small scene? This matter is related to their future development plans, if it is delayed, it will affect their own development plans, so you have to think of more ways to do it.
Duan Zhong wiped his nose, stood up, and said in a throat: "If you want to drive me away, I won't go." If you don't keep me in the temple, I will sleep at the gate of your temple every day, and catch snow rabbits in front of you every day and roast them. "There is a big shameless posture. looked at Zongzi dumbfounded, he didn't expect his boss to have such skills, and Duan Chong's image in his heart couldn't help but become much bigger.
Duan Chong's move seemed to have a miraculous effect, only to hear an extremely majestic voice from the inner hall: "How could our Duan family give birth to such shameless descendants." Come on, you two come in. If you see the previous one, I will drive you down the mountain, so as not to let the little emperor of the Duan family say that I will not give him face. ”
When Duan Chong heard that there was a play, he was overjoyed, and walked into the house with the zongzi. Only the stunned abbot master and the little novice were left in the front hall.
————————————————————————————————————————————
After the front hall, through dozens of vividly carved Buddha statues, this is into a small courtyard. Although this small courtyard is open-air, the temperature is somehow much higher than the outside, and it is not at all like the temperature on a mountain peak at an altitude of several thousand meters. And there is also a green vegetable planted in this small courtyard, and I am afraid that all the food in this courtyard is obtained from this vegetable field.
Hear the voice say, "Come to the house on the left." ”
Duan Zhong didn't dare to break in, so he had to lead the zongzi to the left. Cautiously pushed open the door of the left wing.
Inside the door is incense, several Buddha statues are offered, and next to it is a couch. On the couch, there was a man sitting, and next to him was a man.
Sitting was naturally Duan Chongba looking at the old ancestor of the Duan family who was about to meet, and the one who was standing was the one who ran out of the temple gate just now...... Little Lori. In his arms, he was still holding a snow rabbit that Duan Chong had captured......
The old ancestor was a little emaciated, but his eyes were a little terrifying. Duan Zhong can imagine that after so many years of tempering by the Buddha, this look is still so full of murderous intent, and you can imagine what kind of terrifying appearance this old ancestor looked like thirty years ago.
Duan Zhong didn't have the heart to lust about the bad relationship between his ancestor and the little Lori next to him, because the atmosphere at the moment was very tense, and the whole room was filled with this kind of breath called depression. Zongzi didn't dare to look up at the old ancestor.
"You two are both boys of the Duan family?" The Old Ancestor spoke.
Duan Zhong straightened his chest: "I am!" He pointed to the zongzi on the side, "He is the little brother I recognize." ”
Duan Zhengzheng smiled and smiled very happily: "Did the little emperor of the Duan family ask you to come?" ”
"It's not." Duan Zhong shook his head, "We ran away from home and came here secretly. ”
"Oh?" Duan Zhengzheng wiped his beard, "Interesting, what are you doing here?" ”
"Naturally, I'm here to visit your ancestor!"
"I don't want to listen to this kind of."
"I'm here to learn swords."
"I don't accept apprentices, my senior brother has already told you."
"Just because you didn't accept it in the past doesn't mean you won't accept it in the future."
"Then why should I take you as an apprentice?"
"Because I'm so talented!"
"!"
"Because you are the ancestor of the Duan family, I am the descendant of the Duan family!"
"Then your own emperor father will teach you."
"I ...... I can tell stories! ”
"Storytelling?"
"Well, I'll tell you the story of Dugu Jiujian first......"
Zongzi shook his head: "Can you change it, you told me about this!" ”
"Shut up!"
......
