Chapter 23 Ma Chao of Zhaojia Village visits Tong Yuan
The next day, Ma Chao and Cui An said goodbye to Uncle Zhao and prepared to enter the mountain. Before leaving, he wanted to give Uncle Zhao some property, but the old man refused, and he also beat Ma Chaoshu. There was no way, Ma Chao could only leave like this, he and Cui An went to the mountains.
Ma Chao only knew that Zhao Yun was in the mountains, but it was not clear where they were, so they had to go into the mountains and look for them slowly. I searched all over the foot of the mountain, no, they climbed the mountain again, and there was no mountainside, it seemed that it could only be at the top of the mountain, and the mountain was not too high, or Ma Chao would really not be able to bear it.
They came to the top of the hill, and sure enough, there were people living here, and the three huts were the best proof of this. Ma Chao and the two came to the front of the house, and saw a little girl working, he walked over and asked, "Little girl, I wonder if Zhao Yun lives here?" ”
The little girl looked up at Ma Chao and said with some vigilance: "What are you looking for my second brother?" ”
She is indeed Zhao Yu, but is she like a bad person? Ma Chao was puzzled for a while.
"We're here to visit Master Tong, and we also want to make friends with Zhao Yun!"
"They'll be back in a minute, so you can wait."
"Okay, thank you. Little girl, your name is Zhao Yu. ”
"I'm Zhao Yu, but it's not small! Both are five years old! Zhao Yu retorted.
Ma Chao laughed when he heard it, isn't five years old, whether it is age or not, it is very small anyway, it is very small.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Ma Chao stopped laughing and thinking when he heard this.
"It's nothing, Miss Zhao is right, Miss Zhao is not a little girl." Ma Chao had no choice but to compromise.
This time, Zhao Yu smiled proudly, and stuck out his little tongue at Ma Chao, and pretended that I didn't care about you.
Ma Chao felt that the little girl was indeed cute, so he didn't say anything about Zhao Yu, and waited with Cui An for Zhao Yun and them to come back.
After a while, "When will your second brother come back?" ”
"I don't know what to do, sometimes I come back early, sometimes I come back late."
Ma Chao stopped asking after hearing this, and almost an hour passed, "Miss Zhao Yu, you always know where your second brother is." ”
Zhao Yu blinked his eyes when he heard this, "Let me think about it." ”
This, Ma Chao understood at a glance, Zhao Yu must have known where they were, but he deliberately didn't tell himself, letting himself and Cui An wait here stupidly, is this really a five-year-old girl, a big ghost.
Ma Chao was helpless and saluted Zhao Yu, "Miss Zhao Yu, Sister Zhao Yu, you see that we have been standing for so long, just tell me where your second brother is." You see you're so cute, so kind, can you bear to keep us waiting? ”
Zhao Yu smiled at Ma Chao when he heard this, and then told him where Zhao Yun and they frequented. Ma Chao is very grateful, but no one knows what he thinks in his heart.
Zhao Yun and Tong Yuan often practiced martial arts in a forest, and with Zhao Yu's guidance, it was easy to find that forest.
As soon as Ma Chao and the others approached the woods, they heard someone say, "Who is it?" As soon as he finished speaking, the man was close to them.
Ma Chao hurriedly clenched his fists, "The younger generation helps Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi has seen the Tong senior!" Cui An beside him also gave Tong Yuan a salute, Tong Yuan's name he had already heard from his teacher, and it was a person respected by his teachers.
Tong Yuan looked at the two people in front of him, one was in his teens and the other was in his twenties. The teenage man with a knife and a backpack on his body, and the twenty-something also carried a burden and a halberd in his hand, why does this halberd look so familiar. By the way, could it be him?
Tong Yuan put aside Ma Chao and asked Cui An, "Who is your teacher?" ”
Cui An squeaked and couldn't answer, to be honest, this Cui An really didn't know what to say, his teacher never said this, Cui An didn't ask, but his teacher said, who am I, I am myself, as for the name or anything, I don't remember it for a long time. …,
His teacher is very low-key, and some people may know that there is such a person in Lu Dao and the state, but no one knows what this person is called.
As soon as Tong Yuan saw Cui An like this, he laughed, "Don't say it's you, even he forgot about himself!" Of course, I don't know what to do! ”
Cui An was so discouraged after hearing this, he thought that Tong Yuan could know the Dao, but even Tong Yuan didn't know the Dao. Tong Yuan asked Cui An again how his teacher was now, but after hearing Cui An say that his teacher had passed away for many years, Tong Yuan was also embarrassed, "Alas, I didn't expect the old ghost to be gone!" ”
The old ghost is the nickname given by Tong Yuan to Teacher Cui An, although he and Teacher Cui An are not particularly familiar, but they also know each other, and they have been together a long time ago, and Tong Yuan narrowly wins half a move. Kung Fu has reached their realm, half a move is enough to be fatal, but no one has ever mentioned this, and in the same way, when it comes to their realm, winning or losing is no longer important, and no one will talk about this.
Tong Yuan patted Cui An on the shoulder, "Since the old ghost has passed on all the halberds to you, it means that you are his proud disciple, the child should work hard and live up to your teacher's cultivation!" "Cui An is not very good at talking, and he is relatively slow to respond to what Tong Yuan said, or Ma Chao slapped him next to him, which means that you have a little reaction, Cui An only understood this time.
He clenched his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Senior Tong!" Tong Yuan smiled slightly, he could see that Cui An was sometimes slow to respond to words, and of course he didn't care about anything. Seeing Ma Chao's movements, he remembered that he had snubbed the young man next to him. Everyone who came was a guest, and I haven't talked to anyone yet.
"Boy, you use a knife?" Tong Yuan is more casual, he just calls Ma Chao Boy.
"Boy, I'll use a knife immediately, and I'll use a gun immediately!" Ma Chao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Oh? One of the people I knew before also stepped down with a knife and immediately used a gun. I wonder if you have anything to do with him? ”
Ma Chao raised his eyebrows, "I don't know who the predecessor said?" ”
"This person's name is Nanhua!" Tong Yuan looked at Ma Chao and said.
Nanhua, too familiar, can you not know the way. So Ma Chao said what he learned was written in Nanhua's book, but he didn't say anything about astrological divination, and acquaintances couldn't say it casually, let alone someone who had just met for the first time.
Tong Yuan listened to Ma Chao's words, and was slightly shocked in his heart, the old man of Nanhua would never pass on what he had learned to others casually, it seemed that the young man in front of him must have his superiority.
Thinking of this, Tong Yuan said to them: "I didn't expect that I, Tong Yuan, saw the heirs of the old people today, and there were still two of them at first sight, this is the fate of heaven!" He was indeed happy in his heart, although Cui An's teacher Lao Ghost was no longer there, and Nanhua had also entered the Heavenly Dao, but when he saw Ma Chao and Cui An, he could still remember the scene a long, long time ago, when he fought against the two of them.
Back then, Tong Yuan and Nanhua also studied martial arts, and the two were evenly matched. They admire each other's martial arts, but both of them have their own affairs, so they don't have too many deep friendships, and now Nanhua has entered the Heavenly Dao, which can be said to be one step ahead of Tong Yuan. Why do you say this, because Tong Yuan himself is also a person who is dedicated to the pursuit of the Dao of Heaven, he sensed that someone had reached that level ten years ago, but he didn't know who the Dao of Lu was, and now when he heard Ma Chao say it, of course he thought that it was Nanhua.
But there was no jealousy in his heart, and he was just happy for the deceased. Although the old ghost is gone, it seems that Cui An should be his heir. And Nanhua has entered the way of heaven, he gave the book to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao is of course his successor. Looking at Ma Chao like this, it's not much worse.
If he hadn't met Zhao Yun, Tong Yuan might have been worried about his mantle, but after meeting Zhao Yunhe and accepting him as a disciple, he never had anything to worry about. Tong Yuan has taken Zhao Yun as his heir, the old ghost has Cui An, Nanhua also has Ma Chao, and he has Zhao Yun, who will definitely not be worse than them. …,
Tong Yuan has pursued the way of heaven all his life, don't look at him as if he is forty or fifty years old on the surface, in fact, he is already more than a hundred years old. In addition to pursuing the ethereal Heavenly Dao, his greatest pursuit is to hope that his martial arts can be passed on. It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, when he met his eldest disciple Zhang Xiu, Tong Yuan secretly called it a pity, Zhang Xiu is talented and has excellent roots, but unfortunately when he met him, Zhang Xiu was very old, and he had already passed the best age that Tong Yuan thought, and Tong Yuan had no choice, so Zhang Xiu's achievements were limited.
Later, he met his second disciple Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren is also talented, with excellent roots, and the right age, as long as he is really diligent and studious, and studies marksmanship hard, he can definitely continue his mantle. It's a pity, another pity, for Tong Yuan, Zhang Ren is even more pity. Because Zhang Renzhi was not here, Zhang Ren felt that no matter how high his martial arts were, even if he was a 10,000-strong enemy, it was not what he wanted. Overlord Xiang Yu, the strength to carry the Ding, the battlefield fighter, there is no opponent, and the last is not defeated by Liu Bang. Therefore, what Zhang Ren pursues is to be like Han Xin, who can command the three armies, and force is just an auxiliary role.
Therefore, Zhang Ren uses such an attitude to learn martial arts, of course he will not have much achievement. For Zhang Ren, Tong Yuan could only sigh that everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced. Neither his eldest disciple nor his second disciple could inherit his mantle, so Tong Yuan pinned his hopes on the closed disciple. He decided that he would not accept another disciple after the last one, and whether the closed disciple was like Zhang Xiu or Zhang Ren, he would do his best to teach him well, and he didn't think much about the inheritance of the mantle at that time. It can only be said that it depends on the will of heaven and goes with the flow.
As a result, with such an attitude, he met Zhao Yun. When he met Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was eight years old, no matter what kind of martial arts age eight years old was in the eyes of others, in Tong Yuan's eyes, eight years old was the most suitable age, and it was not too late at all. He also lamented that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and when you don't have much hope, it actually happened. Zhao Yun is neither Zhang Xiu nor Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun is Zhao Yun, a hard-working, smart and studious child who likes marksmanship.
Tong Yuan firmly believed that Zhao Yun was the disciple who inherited his mantle. Thinking of Zhao Yun, he felt very relieved in his heart. Tong Yuan said to the woods: "Yun'er, don't be busy practicing first, come and meet your two senior brothers!" ”
Tong Yuan seems that the old ghost and Nanhua can stand side by side with him, so their heirs, of course, are their own sons and nephews, and of course Zhao Yun must be called senior brother.
After a while, a young man came from the depths of the woods, who looked to be about ten years old. That look must be a handsome guy when he grows up, and he has a fight with Ma Chao. Although Zhao Yun didn't understand why he was practicing marksmanship, the teacher asked him to stop and see the two senior brothers he hadn't seen, but he still followed Tong Yuan's words and hugged Ma Chao and Cui An, "Zhao Yun has seen two senior brothers!" ”
Tong Yuan smiled beside him, obviously he was very satisfied with Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun has no arrogance, but he has arrogance, such a good seedling is rare among his peers, except for a few children of the family, there are even fewer children of the poor family.
The children of the family are arrogant, and Tong Yuan doesn't like it. And the other disciples of the poor sect did not let him be tempted to accept him as a closed disciple, Zhao Yun was the only one, and he was the only one.
Ma Chao and Cui An hurriedly clasped their fists and returned the salute, and Tong Yuan pointed at Zhao Yun at this time and said, "This is the apprentice Zhao Yun." Meng Qi, Fuda, how close you brothers should be in the future! After saying that, Tong Yuan smiled, and Ma Chao and Cui An hurriedly agreed.
This is in Ma Chao's arms, and now that he has this relationship, he has a greater chance to tie Zhao Yun and himself together. When Ma Chao watched the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, he admired Zhao Yun the most, and now he thought that he could fight side by side with Zhao Zilong in the future, and he was really excited in his heart. But this emotion can only be put in the heart, but it cannot be expressed.
"Yun'er, it's rare for your two senior brothers to come here today, shouldn't you ask the two senior brothers for more advice, and also know how your level has been in the past two months?" Tong Yuan absolutely didn't mean anything else when he said this, he just wanted Zhao Yun and the three of them to learn from each other.
First, let Zhao Yun understand that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and no one must be invincible in the world. The second is to examine your own learning results and see your own shortcomings. The last is for Ma Chao and Cui An, Tong Yuan wants to see what the two of them are capable of, of course this is not the goal, what he means is that since he has the fate to see the heirs of the old people, it is impossible to say it without pointing out one or two, so Tong Yuan intends to point out to the two.
Cui An and Zhao Yun didn't quite understand Tong Yuan's intentions, one was slow to react, the other was not very old and inexperienced. But Ma Chao understood that he was very grateful to Tong Yuan in his heart, and he knew that he learned his martial arts by himself from books, and then Cui An explained some more to him, but how could Cui An compare with Tong Yuan.
If Tong Yuan can really give him some advice, it will definitely benefit him immensely.
