.

Time flies like an arrow, as the morning and night pass, a day passes, a month passes, and a year passes. In a trance, Li Bai has been in Zhuxian Temple for three years, from the former seventeen to the current twenty.

This year, on February 28, heavy snow flew into the sky.

Li Bai did not slack off the habits he had developed over time because of the sudden coldness, even for a moment. Before the sky gradually brightened, Li Bai was alone in the morning sword in the Li forest, lifting his breath and exhaling, jumping, flipping, spinning, stepping and so on, sometimes throwing the sword into the air, sometimes holding the sword in his hand. With the snow flying in the sky, and the snow-white plum flowers, Li Baijian walked arrogantly, steeply like a withered pine hanging upside down, as fast as thunder and lightning, stabbing, teasing, splitting, chopping, hooking, picking, the moves are natural, clean and neat. When the snow flew bigger and covered the sky, Li Bai was like riding the wind to cheer up Liuhe and practice more happily.

After dawn, Li Bai put away his sword and left, wanting to call Wu Guide, Siguo and Five Ghosts to ask his master Zhao Rui for peace. But when I saw that the snow was flying and the wind was cold, I knew that they should be sleeping like pigs when they were standing, and they would not go today. Even the little lazy guy was so cold that he turned into a ferret, huddled tightly in the futon, and would rather die than get up. Seeing this, Li Bai shook his head helplessly, didn't pay much attention, put on the robe of the master and stepped on the snow, and walked towards the Zhuxian Temple.

To Li Bai's surprise, when he arrived at the entrance of the view, he just wanted to stretch out his hand to push the door in, but suddenly, someone pulled it away from the inside. So, the three things of Wu Guide, the Four Pots and the Five Ghosts appeared in front of Li Bai.

"Ho!"

Li Bai was so frightened that he staggered back a few steps, thinking that he was looking at it and hallucinating. Without waiting to say more, he hurriedly raised his hand and rubbed it, never believing that the three things would get up earlier than him.

"Little junior brother! Hey! Wu Dao pinched the Heavenly Sword in his palm, looked at Li Baiwei and asked with a smile: "Are you surprised?" Not surprised? ”

"Senior brother, you!" Li Bai was so shocked that his words changed: "Why did you get up so early today?" Don't! Did I miscalculate the hour? ”

"Little junior brother, look at you, tsk!" Siguo smiled and walked to Li Bai's side, patted him on the shoulder with her hand, and said meaningfully: "Listen to my advice, senior brother, don't always lie in bed, get up early." As the saying goes, the early finches have worms to eat, you see us, we are all finished with the master! With that, he put a thick white robe in his hand on Li Bai, and continued: "Come on, junior brother, quickly put it on and put it on, such a big snow, such a cold day, aren't you afraid of freezing yourself into a strip?" ”

"Yes, yes, put it on!" The five ghosts hugged their heads, curled up in their belly clothes, only exposed their eyes and mouths, and said, "It's too cold today, little junior brother, look at me, it's so cold that my head has fallen off!" ”

"That's it, it's so cold today, it's so cold that I get goosebumps!" Wu Gui cooperated with the four pots and five ghosts, singing and harmonizing: "So junior brother, you go in quickly and give Dao An to the master!" Let's go back to the plum grove first to raise the fire, and after a while, let's eat the rabbit stewed in the snow. ”

Li Bai hadn't come back to his senses yet, and he still couldn't believe that this was his own senior brother. As Wu Gui, the four pots, and the five ghosts spoke, they patted Li Bai on the shoulder one after another, and curled up and walked down the mountain. But before he could take a few steps, Wu Gui turned around again and said a very stern admonition to Li Bai, "Little junior brother, remember it, the early finches will have worms, and they will not be allowed to lie in bed in the future!" ”

Let's go.

"Oh my God!" After waiting for the three of them to disappear, Li Bai woke up from the big dream in a trance and asked, "This is so early, why did I see a ghost?" Li Bai still couldn't believe that Wu Dao, the four pots and the five ghosts got up earlier than him, or rather, he didn't believe that the three people were his senior brothers, and he was amazed: "It's incredible!" ”

As everyone knows, the reason why Wu Guide and the five ghosts got up so early was actually forced by the four pots. said, last night's heavy snow flew into the sky, and the four pots came to a dream fugue again, pinching a kitchen knife in one hand and a giant spoon in the other, humming the terrifying, terrifying rabbit ballad, rushing to Wu's guide room is to split his head and cover his face.

Wu Guiben was dreaming of Zhou Gong at night, wearing a red dress, handing over a glass of wine, and was about to shoot across the spring night, turning clouds and rain. As a result, no one died, and just when he was about to kiss the Yin Tao's small mouth, a big kitchen knife was chopped down. Frightened Guide Wu, tsk, tsk, trembling. Angry, he picked up the Yitian Sword with his backhand and pulled the sheath, pointed at the four pots and reprimanded: "Hmph! I'm the eight rabbits, and you are going to beat me! ”

Deng, the four pots immediately turned into a big ball and flew away. Seeing this, Wu Dao's face sank, he raised his legs, and said angrily: "I'll you!" ”

In an instant, the big ball was mixed with snowflakes, and the snowflakes were mixed with the big ball. 'Boom' pierced the sky, flew to the top of Xiaokuang Mountain, smashed on the bed of the five ghosts with a 'bang', and shook it into the soil with a 'boom', impartially.

When he came back to his senses, the five ghosts were angry, gritting their teeth and turning pale. Twisting his head, rubbing his hands, shaking his legs, and running away, he scolded: "I'll you!" ”

The ball, once again mixed with snowflakes, and the snowflakes again mixed with the balls, flew down the mountain with a 'boom'. At this time, Wu Guide was rolling up the cover and preparing to go back to the ancestral hall of Dakuang Mountain, and squeezed with the twenty-three yellow-skinned fairies. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of Xiaokuang Mountain and came to the gate of the temple, he saw this big ball falling from the sky and smashing towards himself. See, Wu Dao didn't think much about it, and said: "I'll fuck you, you damn stupid pot!" ”

Balls, mixed with snowflakes, snowflakes, mixed with balls, flew to Xiaokuang Mountain. After a few breaths, the ball, mixed with snowflakes, snowflakes, mixed with balls, flew to Dakuang Mountain.

After a night.

"Huh?" At the top of Xiao Kuang Mountain, the five ghosts looked at the side of Da Kuang Mountain, and asked, "Why didn't the ball come?" ”

Glaring at the eyebrows, the five ghosts were a little worried, and immediately stepped on the snow and flew to Zhuxian Temple. In an instant, I saw that Siguo had woken up from his dream, and at this time he was holding a kitchen knife, holding a huge spoon, chasing after Wu Gui, and scolding: "Stop, don't run, I'm going to kill you!" ”

Soon, the three of them were entangled in chasing, running, and fighting. But it didn't take long for the three of them to be so tired that they were limp and lying in the snow panting, unwilling to move. When the sky was bright, the three of them smiled and hated, and went together to ask Zhao Rui for peace and said goodbye. So, seeing that it was extremely cold here, and worried that Li Bai was cold and frozen, the three of them took a white robe from the Zhuxian Guanxiang Courtyard and prepared to go back to the Li Forest in Xiaokuang Mountain. How could he think about it, just about to go out of the gate, the five ghosts suddenly pinched their fingers and calculated, knowing that Li Bai should be arriving soon, so on a whim, he hid behind the door, ready to give his little junior brother a fright.

That's why we have this.

Draped in a white robe, Li Bai walked into the Zhuxian Temple with his steps in the snow, bypassed the ancestral hall, and came to the small courtyard of the meditation room. Far away, I saw Zhao Rui playing five birds in the snow, and the tricks here were reaching the 'bird stretch'. When Li Bai was a child, he knew about these five bird operas from the classics, and knew that they were created by Hua Tuoguan Five Beasts, tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds. However, Li Bai knew that the original appearance of these five poultry operas actually came from the great sage of one of the seven sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty, Zhuang Zhou.

In his book "Zhuangzi, Outer Chapters, and Deliberate", it is recorded that "this person of the river and the sea, the person who escapes the world, and the leisure person is also good." Blowing breathing, spitting out the old and accepting the new, the bear passes through the bird, and it is just for longevity. At this time, it is called the two birds, that is, the bear and the bird. Later, Hua Tuo gained some spiritual enlightenment from this, and on this basis, he added three beasts, tigers, deer, and apes, to remove the old and create the new, creating a famous five-bird drama in later generations.

In the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the Biography of Fangshu, and the Biography of Hua Tuo", Hua Tuo said to his disciple Wu Pu: The human body wants to work, but it is not appropriate to make the pole ear, and if it is shaken, the qi will be eliminated, the blood will circulate, and the disease can not be born. I have a technique, for the play of five birds, one is called tiger, two is called deer, three is called bear, four is called ape, five is called bird, but also to remove diseases, and good hooves and feet, to be a guide, the body is unhappy, play a bird, sweat happily, because of the powder, the body is light and hungry.

Li Bai also tried to learn these five poultry plays, after all, it is said in the book that practicing five poultry plays can go to illness and prolong life. It is rumored that Fan A, a disciple of Hua Tuo, lived to be more than 100 years old because of practicing these five poultry plays. It's just that although Li Bai has this intention, he doesn't have this method. The Turkic broken leaves are Hu Di, and no one knows it, and what is recorded in those classics is not innocent. Knowing that if you can't learn the authentic one, it will only be harmful and not beneficial, so you give up.

Today, seeing that Zhao Rui played these five poultry plays fast and slow in an orderly manner, the mighty tiger, the comfort of the deer, the calmness of the bear, the dexterity of the ape, and the lightness of the bird, all of them are lifelike, and the charm is steady. So, Li Bai immediately stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said, "Good morning, master, the disciple has come to greet you!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Rui was silent, only hummed a muffled sound with his throat, and continued to play the five-bird play, tiger pounce.

"Master, me!" Li Bai was a little embarrassed, as soon as he came, he should have left at this time; Second, I am afraid of disturbing Zhao Rui Yaxing.

"What am I?" Zhao Rui suddenly said: "Want to learn? ”

"Hmm!" Li Bai told truthfully: "I want to learn!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Rui suddenly said in surprise and said, "But you have to pay (tuition)!" ”

"Huh?" Li Bai was confused: "Bound? ”

"How?" Zhao Rui hit 'Xiong Huang' here and asked, "Don't you want to?" ”

"Wish! Willing! Li Bai came back to his senses and said helplessly: "Then dare to ask the master, how many bundles do you want to receive?" Can you do it for a penny? ”

"Idiot!" Zhao Rui: "Talk about dreams!" ”

"That!" Li Bai smiled and asked, "What about the two pennies?" ”

"Get out!"

"Master, I'm your apprentice!" Li Bai frowned and asked, "Then you say, how many bundles do you want?" ”

"Three hundred thousand taels of gold." Zhao Rui: "No two prices." ”

Li Bai's brows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't understand what Zhao Rui wanted to do with 300,000 taels of gold. Not to mention anything else, just from the corpses of Zhuxian Temple, by the way, he dug out a thing and sold it, which was more than the 300,000 taels of gold. Deng, I think Zhao Rui must have other intentions when he does this. Therefore, after a pause, he pouted and shrugged his shoulders, and responded: "Master Cheng, 300,000 taels is 300,000 taels!" Brake, muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, I have gold bars at home!" ”

"Boy! Hum! Zhao Rui smiled puzzled and said, "Remember, go back and transport these 300,000 taels of gold bars to Jianghuaijing County, where there is a river called Qingge River." When it arrived, he sent someone to secretly throw all the gold into the river, so that there could be no mistake. ”

"Master, what do you mean?" Li Bai was puzzled and said, "Money, it's not spent like this!" ”

"Mountain people have their own clever plans." Zhao Rui smiled again and said, "Come, teach you these five bird plays for the teacher!" ”

"Okay!" Li Bai: "Thank you, master!" ”

Li Bai felt that he should be happy, but he couldn't be happy no matter what, and he couldn't understand why Zhao Rui threw 300,000 taels of gold into the river. Thinking about it and thinking about it, Li Bai had no choice but to wave and sweep away for the time being, so he stood the Sun and Moon Sword in the snow, stood behind Zhao Rui and sank down, ready to learn the five bird plays.

"Listen well, I will only teach you once for the teacher!" Zhao Rui said: "The five bird operas can be divided into ten major styles, tiger lifting, tiger pounce, deer arrival, deer running, bear luck, bear dang, ape lifting, bird stretching, bird flying. As he spoke, while starting the five-bird play again, he taught: "Supporting Tianli Sanjiao with both hands, opening the bow left and right like shooting eagles." Conditioning the spleen and stomach must be lifted alone, and five labors and seven injuries must be looked back. Shake your head and tail to get rid of the fire in your heart, and cross your hands to strengthen your kidneys and waist. clenched his fists and angrily increased his strength, and his back was full of illnesses. ”

In this way, Li Bai followed Zhao Rui to learn the five poultry operas seriously, and did not dare to separate. In the end, I only read it once, listened to it once, and memorized all the formulas and moves, which made Zhao Rui take aback, couldn't help but stroke his beard, and secretly boasted, "My apprentice is my apprentice, amazing!" ”

After waiting for two hours, Li Bai had already practiced perfectly, and when Zhao Rui saw it, he stopped Li Bai and said: "Everything in the world cannot last long, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, and these five bird tricks are no exception." Half an hour of practice every day is enough, and you can't chew it if you are greedy. Let's go, it's really too cold today, don't catch a cold, freeze your body! ”

"Thank you for your concern!" Li Baiyou felt a warmth in his heart, and thanked him: "With the words of the master, no matter how cold the heavenly disciple is, he is not afraid!" ”

"Really?" Zhao Rui was stunned and said: "I think you misunderstood the meaning of the teacher, I am afraid that after you freeze to death, no one will send the 300,000 taels of gold to the teacher, that's all!" ”

"Ugh!" Li Bai was speechless, but he knew in his heart that Zhao Rui didn't really think like this, so he had no choice but to bow his hand and say, "Then master, the disciple will retire first, and come back tomorrow to greet you!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Rui waved his hand: "Go!" ”

Pulling out the Sun and Moon Sword, Li Bai turned around and resigned from the small courtyard of the meditation room and walked towards the gate of the temple. Because it was too cold here, Li Bai quickened his pace, wanting to go back to Li Shulin as soon as possible to find Guide Wu, the four pots and the five ghosts. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the entrance, I had just opened the door, and suddenly, in the heavy snow outside the door, there was a thin old beggar standing outside.
