Chapter 7 Pulling out a thousand pounds
"General Ben comes first!" Xun Mou said that he picked up his shirt and walked to the bottom of the steps, came to the side of Dading, tied up his horse, held a Ding foot with both hands, and first evened out his strength.
The common people shook their heads when they saw this scene, and they all said that the thief's head just now was the bottom of the big tripod with two hands, but this General Xun wanted to use both hands to only lift a tripod foot, I'm afraid it would be difficult to lift it!
Just as everyone was staring and discussing, Xun Mou also shouted, and the three legs of the big ding slowly left the ground, and then Xun Mou had wind under his feet, and the dust was everywhere, and his feet slowly stood up straight, and the big ding was raised diagonally over his shoulders. At this moment, everyone's eyes were already straight, and the cheers rang out one after another.
Xun Mou held back his strength, and reluctantly smiled at Chen Huizhi and asked hard, "How?" ”
"I didn't expect General Xun to be able to lift the Ding with both hands and one foot, Lao Tzu admires!"
After Chen retreated, Xun Mou slowly pressed down and slowly placed Dading in place. Then the crowd cheered again. Xun Mou's face was slightly red at the moment, and he smiled proudly at Lu Zuo, signaling him to step forward and raise the crown.
The surrounding spectators all turned their eyes to Lu Zuo, how could the thin descendant in front of him, who was weak and weak, lift a giant tripod of nearly a thousand catties. Even Lu Zuo's younger brother Lu Renxiang was in a cold sweat on his forehead, shaking his head one after another on the side.
Zhou Zhongwang looked at the descendant in front of Ding, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, the person in front of him had a deep gaze, which seemed to give people a bottomless feeling, and this kind of look also revealed perseverance, it was really difficult to guess his inner thoughts. For everything that will happen next, Zhou Zhongwang is just as full of expectations as Xun Mou for his ability.
Just when everyone was talking, suddenly a crisp flute sounded outside the temple, and the sound of the flute was like a hollow valley stream lingering, sometimes high-pitched rapids, sometimes melodious and tactful.
Just as everyone was fascinated by the sound of the flute, the sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and then a burst of laughter came from nowhere, "Hurry! Great! ”
Everyone was confused for a while, but Zhou Zhongwang and the old Zen master said in unison: "Master! ”
Everywhere I looked, I saw a white-haired old man standing on the eaves of the main hall of the temple, although his face was old, but he was still in good spirits. Everyone in the courtyard saw an old man standing on the roof, and it was rare to see him, and his standing posture was like a visitor from outside the world.
Therefore, the Zen master and Zhou Zhongwang saw it from afar, and they had already knelt on the ground to make a big salute.
But seeing that the old man hung the bamboo flute in his hand on his waist, he then stroked his temples and said: "Since there is such a grand event in my Guigu Gate, of course the old man is indispensable!" ”
Xun Mou and Lu Zuo saw that they were masters, and they also knelt down and saluted. Xun and Lu used to often listen to their master talk about their ancestors, this person is very good at Zhou Yi gossip, alchemy and cultivation of immortals, because his whereabouts are erratic, so no one on the rivers and lakes knows his real name, even his master does not know his common name, only that he often calls himself a "bitter Taoist".
At this time, the bitter Taoist waved their hands and motioned for them to get up and excuse themselves. Therefore, when the Zen master and Zhou Zhongwang were about to ask the master how he was doing, the bitter Taoist waved his hand again and said: "Needless to say, it has been very good for the past few years as a teacher!" I often hear the people of the rivers and lakes say that the second apprentice has the reputation of being a national warrior. And the boss eats fasting and recites Buddha on weekdays, and has always thought that the boss has never opened the mountain to accept disciples, and recently found that you all have a pair of high disciples, and today happened to pass by Kyoto. Look at your apprentices competing here, and the old man should come to cheer for him. ”
The crowd in the courtyard was talking to each other at this time, and they all guessed that this person on the roof must be from a lot of background, and the people thought that they were here to relieve the siege at first, but they didn't think that they were coming to see the excitement, so they all looked at Lu Zuo dejectedly.
Chen Huizhi looked impatient and shouted: "You people, there is no end, you have to compare." ”
After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, the bitter Taoist did not come down, and stood on the roof.
Lu Zuo steadily approached the front of Dading, and then looked around, as if observing the expressions of everyone around him. Hearing Chen Huizhi's urging voice, he rolled up his sleeves, calmed down, and tied up his horse. Lu Renxiang, who was on the side, was sweating like rain on his forehead, and he didn't dare to blink, for fear that this Da Ding would crush his brother's thin body. After Lu Zuo tied up his horse, he raised one of Dading's big feet above his head, and his face still did not change. Everyone was dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and amazed, Zhou Zhongwang and Xun met each other, so the Zen master nodded frequently, Lu Renxiang wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and smiled, and the bitter Taoist and Chen Huizhi applauded in unison.
"It seems that there is a successor to the Guigu Gate, this is really 'Xunmou Lu Zuo, the world can get it'!" The bitter Taoist stroked his beard happily, and couldn't help but boast.
Lu Zuo then let go of his left hand, leaving only his right hand to raise the tripod with one hand, although his face was already red, he could still barely lift the big tripod, and at this moment there was a cheer in the temple. Only then did Lu Zuo slowly put down Da Ding and saluted Chen Huizhi, "Hero, what do you think of today's martial arts competition?" ”
Chen Huizhi was already stunned, and after handing the Xuanhua axe in his hand to the minion, he hugged his fists and returned the salute, "Today, my Chen Huizhi is an eye-opener, it seems that General Xun and Mr. Lu really live up to their reputation." What the old Taoist said just now is good, it's really 'Xunmou Lu Zuo, the world can get it'! If you want to take refuge in me in the future, say so. After Chen Huizhi laughed, he ordered all the minions to retreat.
After everyone waited for the thief to go away, they all sweated and came over to thank Xun and Lu. When the common people encountered this incident, some were afraid that there would be another incident, so they went down the mountain early and went home. Xun Mou took advantage of the gap to ask his master Zhou Zhongwang, "Do you want to send someone to track down the bandits?" ”
"The teacher has already secretly sent someone to follow!" Zhou Zhongwang was confident.
Therefore, the Zen master is also the master of this temple, and when he turned around to search for the master, the bitter Taoist has long since disappeared, leaving only the old Zen master and Zhou Zhongwang looking at each other and sighing.
"Since the master has left, Master Zhou must stay, and the old man can also do his friendship." Therefore, the Zen master is sincere in what he said, after all, the two have not seen each other for many years, and they still have a lot of reluctance to think of the two of them learning the same art when they were young.
"Senior brother doesn't have to, I still have a lot of things to deal with, this time junior brother, I received your post, I came without saying a word, I didn't expect to meet our master with my senior brother today, and this encounter can be regarded as fate! And the junior brother is here to congratulate the senior brother. ”
"Oh! Where does the joy come from? ”
"Isn't it gratifying that Senior Brother can get this high apprentice!" Zhou Zhongwang pointed at Lu Zuo and smiled.
"Master Zhou said with a smile, isn't the disciple already famous all over the world now!"
With that, the two looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Zhongwang took Xun Mou to say goodbye, and the two Lu Zuo brothers also said goodbye one after another.
