Early the next morning, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing carried rice and firewood, said goodbye to their mother and sister Yang Xiu, and followed their father to Taiping Xingguo Temple.

Taiping Xingguo Temple is located in the Cuiyan Peak of Zhongtai Mountain in Wutai Mountain, which was built by Taizong of the Song Dynasty, presided over Master Huiming's exquisite Buddhism, good deeds, famous far and near, and often foreign monks come to worship and learn art. Master Huiming would come to Yang Wenshan's house every year to ask for warmth, and he would leave some silver taels.

About half a day's trip to the bottom of the mountain, Taiping Xingguo Temple is halfway up the mountain in Cuiyan Peak, three people climb the stairs, there is a memorial arch in front of the temple, majestic and magnificent, the wooden plaque is written "Taiping Xingguo Temple", the memorial arch is engraved with eighty-one dragons, the scales and claws are all present, and the demeanor is realistic.

Yang Huaide's eyes widened and said, "What a style!" ”

Yang Huaixing also said: "This is where the world's masters live!" ”

Yang Wenshan asked the little monk to go in to report, Master Huiming received them in the wing, Yang Wenshan asked, "How is Master Huiming doing lately?" ”

Huiming replied: "The poor monk eats fasting and recites the Buddha, and his health is fine. Lord Yang came this time to let the second son learn art? ”

Yang Wenshan said: "I can't control these two children, and I ask the master to worry about it." ”

Master Huiming looked at the two children carefully, held Yang Huaide's arm, patted his shoulder, and said, "It's time, don't worry, Master Yang, I will train these two children to become talents." ”

The next day, the apprenticeship ceremony was held, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing became lay disciples of Master Huiming, Huiming asked the teacher Huizhi to teach the two of them the basic skills, and he taught them to read and write first. Yang Wenshan instructed the two children to leave Taiping Xingguo Temple with a few words.

Huizhi taught Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing some basic skills every day, and asked them to carry water and chop firewood and clean the yard.

It has been half a year, once, the two of them came up from the bottom of the mountain to carry water, and halfway saw an old Taoist sitting on a big stone, full of fairy spirit, medium stature, gray hair, gray beard, even the eyebrows are gray, long eyebrows are hanging down, eyes slightly closed, there is a cane beside him, crooked, and a dragon is coiled in his hand.

When the two passed by him, Lao Dao suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly: "Little monk, can you give me a sip of water to drink?" ”

Yang Huaide replied, "Yes, Dao Chief." ”

Yang Huaide scooped a scoop of water for him, Lao Dao closed his eyes after drinking the water and said nothing, the breeze blew, and his gray beard and eyebrows fluttered in the wind.

Yang Huaixing asked curiously, "Are you an immortal?" Lao Dao still didn't say a word.

The next day, Lao Dao asked for water again, but he didn't speak.

On the third day, Lao Dao asked for water to drink, and after drinking the water, he hit Yang Huaide with a palm, and Yang Huaide fell to the ground.

Yang Huaide shouted: "Dao Chief, why are you beating me? ”

Lao Dao said: "You have been here for so long, why doesn't that old bald donkey of Huiming teach you martial arts?" Go back and tell him that he won't teach the old gods anymore. ”

Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing didn't know what to say, guessing that this old way must be a master in the world.

In fact, the two of them have been depressed for a long time, and the other brothers have been learning martial arts for three months, but the two of them have been here for half a year, and the two masters have not taught any martial arts.

At lunchtime, a senior brother sneered: "You see, these two brothers have been here for half a year and know how to carry water and cut wood, it's really stupid." ”

Someone said: "They know how to learn martial arts when they eat and sleep, they are stupid and stupid." ”

Someone else said, "They are here to be monks and recite sutras." Everyone burst into laughter.

Yang Huaide's face turned red with anger and said, "You guys are talking nonsense, it's not like this, don't blame us!" The two dropped their chopsticks and ran out of the house in a huff.

Yang Huaide said to Yang Huaixing: "Let's go, let's go to Uncle Shi and ask about it!" ”

After seeing Huizhi, Yang Huaide asked, "Uncle Shi, why haven't you taught us martial arts for so long?" ”

Huizhi replied: "Your basic skills are not solid, you must continue to exercise, don't ask too much, go out!" ”

The two were not convinced, and went to Master Huiming again, who was closing his eyes and reciting the scriptures.

Yang Huaide said: "Master, Uncle He hasn't taught martial arts for so long, let's not follow him." ”

Huiming replied: "Don't worry, don't worry, when the time comes, it will naturally come naturally." ”

The two walked out of the hall with puzzled faces, and Yang Huaide said to Yang Huaixing: "Second brother, they are lying to us, so they want the two of us to carry water and chop wood for them to serve them, and we will go home tomorrow morning." ”

Yang Huaixing hesitated: "Master and Dad are good friends, they shouldn't lie to us, let's wait!" ”

Yang Huaide's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "If you don't go, I'll go, everyone says that we are fools and stupid, can you stand it!" ”

Yang Huaixing said: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

The next morning, after breakfast, the two left Taiping Xingguo Temple without greeting anyone.

When the two walked to a small forest, they suddenly saw a middle-aged couple in front of them being intercepted by two Khitans one after the other, and the two immediately hid behind the stones on the side of the road.

The two Khitans had a fierce face and shouted: "Keep everything valuable, or you will die." With that, he shook the dagger in his hand.

Yang Huaixing asked, "Big brother, are we going to save them?" ”

Yang Huaide said: "We are heroes, how can we not save us when we die." ”

Yang Huaixing said: "But we don't know martial arts, and they are holding daggers, we can't beat them?" ”

Yang Huaide frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'm angry when you mention this, why don't you teach us martial arts?" ”

His head tilted to the side, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Second brother, I have a way, you see, these wild mountain jujube trees are lush with branches, and they are covered with thorns, even if they can't hurt people, it is very uncomfortable to be stabbed." ”

Yang Huaixing smiled: "Big brother, good idea." The two of them chose a branch with many thorns, and each of them broke off one.

Yang Huaide whispered: "Let's sneak attack that Khitan dog with his back to us." ”

Yang Huaixing nodded, the two held their breath and slowly approached, and suddenly rushed out when they were seven or eight meters away, and before the Khitan man could react, two big branches slapped heavily on his back, only to hear "Ouch mom", the Khitan man rushed forward, and his back was bloodstained when he was broken, and when he looked back, the two teenagers raised the big branch and slapped it at him again, shouting: "Brother, let's run!" ”

The two Khitans got into the woods, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing chased to the edge of the woods and did not follow up, Yang Huaide turned back and shouted to the couple: "Uncle, aunt, you go first!" We're going to deal with them. ”

The couple said, "Thank you little heroes, be careful! ”

The two watched them gradually move away, and Yang Huaixing said, "Big brother, let's go too!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two bows rang out in the woods, and two arrows shot at the two from the woods, and the two had no time to dodge, thinking about it, just when their lives were hanging in the balance, they flew down from the tree, and with a wave of their crutches, the two arrows were knocked to the ground, and they read: "Immeasurable Tianzun." "It's the old fairy.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of bowstrings in the woods, Lao Dao turned around and jumped to the side of the two Khitans, struck left and right, knocked down the bows and arrows of the two, and each of them twitched hard on the buttocks, the two screamed in pain, the old Dao was so good at light work, the action was fast, like an agile swallow, Lao Dao said angrily: "You two are not at home to herd horses and sheep and come here to be bandits, don't get out of here!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the two turned and ran deeper into the woods.

Lao Dao turned around and came to Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing, both of whom were stunned.

Lao Dao said: "You don't know martial arts, but your courage is not small. ”

Yang Huaide said: "When the road is uneven, pull the knife to help." ”

Lao Dao raised his eyebrows and said, "Like a hero." ”

Yang Huaixing asked, "Old Immortal, what's your name?" ”

Lao Dao smiled: "They all call me Liudaozi, you call me the old immortal, I live behind Cuiyanfeng Mountain, come to me if you have something." With that, he jumped and disappeared into the woods.

In the afternoon, the two returned home, the couple was very happy to see the two sons come back, Yang Xiu helped bring food for the two to eat, the two lied that the master asked them to go home to visit their parents, the two also talked about the things on the road, Yang Xiu's eyes widened curiously.

Yang Wenshan said with satisfaction: "Yes, you must be brave and resourceful in doing things. ”

But he put away his smile again and said, "Liudaozi is crazy and full of nonsense, you should stay away from this old way in the future." ”

Yang Huaixing asked, "Why, did he help us?" ”

Yang Wenshan said: "You still don't understand, just be obedient." ”

It was getting dark, and the family sat in the house.

Suddenly, there was the sound of chickens and dogs barking outside, and someone shouted: "Khitan dogs are coming to rob, Khitan dogs are coming to rob!" ”

Yang Wenshan got up and picked up a wooden stick from the wall and walked into the courtyard, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing followed, Wang Yue'e and Yang Xiu stayed in the house.

Yang Wenshan looked towards the village, only to see the figure shaking, and there was a shout.

At this time, three people rushed into the courtyard, in the middle was a big fat man, wearing a Capricorn earring in his left ear, holding an iron rod in his hand, Yang Wenshan recognized this person at a glance, it was Hu Shahu who was fighting with Han Xiaoyao in the field to descend the dragon wood.

When Hu Shahu saw Yang Wenshan, his round eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he shouted: "Yang Wenshan, do you remember me?" Quickly take out the dragon descending wood and all the valuable things. ”

Yang Wenshan said: "Of course I know, last time you didn't get the dragon descending wood, and now you are coming to my house to rob it, you are clearly a robber, there is nothing to say." ”

He held the wooden stick horizontally, blocking the way of the three of them, and Hu Shahu said: "Yang Wenshan, you are toasting and not eating and drinking." ”

With a wave of his hand, two subordinates behind him rushed towards Yang Wenshan with wooden sticks and beat him, although Yang Wenshan did not know martial arts, but he often went up the mountain to hunt and was strong, and the two could not subdue him.

Hu Shahu took advantage of the emptiness on Yang Wenshan's right side, flew up and slapped a palm on Yang Wenshan's right shoulder, Yang Wenshan "ouch", fell to the ground, felt breathless, the pain in his right shoulder was unbearable, and his arm was unable to move, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing saw that their father was knocked down, and kicked Hu Shahu at the same time, Hu Shahu easily dodged, slapped each palm on the chest of the two, and suddenly the two were dizzy and collapsed to the ground.

Hu Shahu led two of his subordinates to break into the house, rummaged through the cabinets, and soon found a few dragon trees, he looked at Yang Xiu, who was standing in the corner of the wall, hiding in his mother's arms, and said with a smile: "This little girl is cute, take her away and sell it for a good price." ”

He grabbed Yang Xiu's arm and pulled it out, Wang Yue'e hugged Yang Xiu and didn't let go, the two subordinates pushed Wang Yue'e away, Yang Xiu shouted: "Mother, mother." ”

Wang Yue'e shouted: "Don't take my daughter, don't take my daughter." ”

Hu Shahu ignored it and pulled Yang Xiu into the courtyard, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing saw that their sister was about to be snatched away, Yang Huaixing hugged his sister and pulled back, Yang Huaide grabbed Hu Shahu's arm and bit him hard, Hu Shahu shouted: "If you two boys don't let go, you will be killed." ”

He raised his left palm and was about to hit, but at this moment, he heard someone shouting at the gate of the courtyard: "Amitabha, madman, don't hurt people, let them go quickly." ”

Hu Shahu looked back and saw an old monk standing at the door with a wooden stick in his hand, of medium stature, with a blazing gaze.

Hu Shahu let go of his hand and asked, "Who are you, don't meddle in your affairs." ”

The old monk said: "The poor monk is Huiming, the presiding officer of the Taiping Xingguo Temple in Wutai Mountain, and hopes that the donor will do more good deeds. ”

Hu Shahu said: "It turns out that you are Master Huiming, I have heard about it in the next morning, I heard that your Wulang gossip stick is superb, invincible in the world, in Xia Hu Shahu, nicknamed the beast king, today I want to learn from the master." After speaking, he danced the iron rod and assumed a pose of a black bear exploring the way.

Huiming said: "It seems that the donor is definitely not a thief of chickens and dogs, so he will be taught." ”

Hu Shahu first hungry tiger pounced, when the head of the stick, Hui Ming jumped to the right, the iron rod smashed to the ground, Hu Shahu was a sweep again, and was dodged by Hui Ming, after two moves, Hui Ming knew the virtual reality, Hu Shahu was a vertical split, after the iron rod landed, Hui Ming pressed the wooden stick on the iron rod, and then quickly slid up, Hu Shahu hurriedly let go of his left hand, the left side was empty, Hui Ming swept the leaves in an autumn wind, hit Hu Shahu on the buttocks, Hu Shahu "ouch", took two steps back, gritted his teeth and said: "Come again." ”

The iron rod flipped a few times in his hand, and suddenly bent down and swept Hui Ming's calf, Hui Ming jumped up in the air, and the wooden stick poked at Hu Shahu's right arm, Hui Ming had already shown mercy to his subordinates, otherwise the muscles and bones would have been broken, Hu Shahu stood firm and said: "The master really deserves his reputation." ”

Then he waved his hand to his subordinates and said, "Go." The two men threw down the loot and walked away with him.

Hui Ming said, "Amitabha, do more good deeds. ”

Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing felt that they had no ability to deal with bad people, felt aggrieved, shed tears, and shouted one after another: "Master, Master! ”

Huiming said: "Don't cry, don't cry, let's see how your father's injuries are." ”

Yang Wenshan said: "Thank you Master for saving me in time, my right shoulder is in abnormal pain, and my arm can't move. ”

Hui Ming gently touched his shoulder, and then supported his arm hard, only to hear a "grunt", Hui Ming said, "Do you see if your arm can move?" ”

Yang Wenshan said: "It's okay, the master's medical skills are really clever." ”

Hui Ming said: "Your arm has been dislocated, and there are some bruises, so you can apply it to your shoulder." ”

Everyone returned to the house and sat down, Yang Wenshan said: "Recently, there has been a drought in Liao, and there are often Liao people who cross the border to steal. ”

Hui Ming said: "I saw that the bandit just now is not like an ordinary person, and his martial arts are strange. ”

Yang Wenshan said: "This person once forced me to buy dragon wood in the field but didn't buy it, and today he came to my house to rob it." ”

Hui Ming said: "The Dragon Descending Wood is a good material for making weapons, this person must be here for this, Brother Yang should be more careful in the future." ”

Yang Wenshan said: "Why did the master come to my house at this time? ”

Huiming said: "Huaide and Huaixing went down the mountain without saying hello, I was worried that something would happen, so I followed immediately." ”

Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing hurriedly knelt in front of the master and father and said the grievances in their hearts.

Huiming said: "The two of you are the descendants of the Yang family, and the master wants to teach you the most profound martial arts of the Yang family, so you must first practice the basic skills, and if you want to hurry, you will not be able to reach it." ”

Yang Wenshan said: "What the master said is right, don't embarrass the Yang family, don't hurry up and admit your mistakes to the master." ”

The two said, "Master, we were wrong, we should listen to you, and we should not go down the mountain privately. ”

Huiming said: "Amitabha, just know your mistakes, and go back to the mountain with me tomorrow." ”
