There was another dead silence, and it was the ox blacksmith who reacted first: "Come, everyone! Please drink, drink", everyone ended the topic just now.

At this time, Ma Liu, who was behind him, pulled the placket of the blacksmith's clothes, looking anxious, the blacksmith looked at his nephew, turned to Lao Dao and said: "Immortal Chief, Niu has something to ask for, the dog Da Niu and his nephew Ma Liujiu want to worship under the door, and ask the immortal master to read his two sincere hearts and include them as apprentices."

Hearing that he worshiped Lao Dao as a teacher, the big cow who was busy gnawing chicken also put down the food in his hand and looked at Lao Dao with blank eyes; At the same time, Xiao Yat took the opportunity to snatch the last chicken leg into his bowl......

"Is there a future for being a Taoist? It's not even one person who wants to become a monk, but two whole people; Looking at the big cow in front of him, Ma Liu, Xiao Yi, who had already adjusted his state, was a little speechless. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Niu Jushi, if you want your two sons to learn martial arts, you two brothers can teach the skills, so why bother others. ”

"The Taoist learned that if my two brothers taught, they would cultivate another self at most, and ten enemies would be only one; If you follow the Taoist, you are expected to enter the ranks of first-class generals, he is all over the battlefield, and the Taoist knows astronomy, geography, and the middle is human, and there is a lot of knowledge in the chest, and the teaching is 'ten thousand enemies'."

The old way is a master! The old way also knows the art of war! Xiao Yi on the side thought silently.

After being silent for a long time, Lao Dao looked at Xiao Yi beside him, and then looked at Da Niu and Ma Liu, who looked expectant, nodded and said: "Okay, everything is fate, Poor Dao will accept these two sons as registered disciples, stay at home and make a living with you when you are busy, and you can come to the Taoist temple in your spare time to study with 'no worries'." ”

Seeing Lao Dao's approval, the ox blacksmith was overjoyed, and hurriedly arranged the incense case, asked Lao Dao to sit in the middle, and let his son and nephew formally pay homage to the teacher.

"The teacher preaches and teaches the profession and solves doubts!"

Da Niu, Ma Liuer hurriedly stepped forward, knelt in front of the old Tao, and paid a big salute to worship, one day as a teacher, and a lifetime as a father!

Xiao Yi on the side touched his chin and said: "This is much more formal than me worshipping Lao Dao as a teacher, I don't have any rituals, and I was directly put on a mixed yuan gossip robe by Lao Dao." ”

After Lao Dao asked the two of them to get up, he didn't speak, but looked at the leatherman, looked at him silently, and then looked at Xiao Yi.

The cobbler closed his eyes and thought about it, then looked at Xiao Yi's figure, then looked at Xiao Yi's hand, and finally looked at Lao Dao, nodded and said: "If the little fairy is interested, he will teach it carefully and never hide it privately. ”

"What's the situation? What should I learn from a cobbler? Learn to cook the skin? "Thinking about the smell of rot on his body after dealing with leather all day long, Xiao Yi has the heart to cry, and for the first time I feel that being a Taoist priest is still good, at least a hundred times stronger than being a stinky cobbler.

Looking at the cobbler's look of 'don't worry, I will teach seriously', Xiao Yizhen has an urge to rush out of the door.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, since this is the case, this matter has been completed, and the poor Dao master and apprentice have resigned," the old Dao got up and said.

The blacksmiths hurriedly got up to see them off, and Xiao Yi followed Lao Dao closely, for fear that Lao Dao would be happy, so he left him as an apprentice to the cobbler, and everyone kept sending the master and apprentice to the door; Lao Dao turned to the blacksmith and said, "You should prepare the necessary utensils as soon as possible." ”

"Immortal master rest assured, everything is on our brother."

Seeing off the old master and apprentice, the blacksmith turned to the tanner and said, "What does the second brother think of this son?" ”

"God-given unicorns, Wang Zuozhicai, out can be a general, into can be a phase, the ancient Yiyin, Huo Guang is just like that; However, although this son is peaceful on the outside and kind to others, there is a sinister aura between his eyebrows and eyes, and I am afraid that there will be more killings in the future! And this son, the prince and prince of the eye, said that the rise and fall of the past dynasties is as commonplace, and it is difficult to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse to the world in the future! ”

I didn't expect the second brother who cherishes words like gold on weekdays to be able to say such a large paragraph, but the vision of the leatherman has always been admired, the cobbler was born in a large family, read poetry and books since childhood, and learned from the masters, but later the family changed drastically, only to become the current appearance, but look at people and things, everything is not accurate! In the past, Zhang Jiao, the great sage teacher, also relied on the leathersmith, but it was a pity......

On the way out, Xiao Yi asked Lao Dao worriedly: "Master, do you want me to learn the craft from the cobbler?" Although being a cobbler in these troubled times is also a skill to make a living, the apprentice still prefers to follow the master and cultivate the Tao devoutly. ”

"Hahaha! Lao Dao laughed and touched the top of Xiao Yi's head, idiot! You are a good material, and how can you spoil your wisdom as a teacher? ”

"What does the master mean?"

"Have you ever noticed the tangerine tanner's hands?"

"The cobbler's arms are slender, the joints of his hands are broad and strong, and the backs of his hands are cotton but not rough; Moreover, it seemed that his two hands were very similar, Xiao Yi couldn't help but look at his two equally slender arms.

"Master, what are those hands?"

"Shooting-Condor-Hand" Lao Dao looked at Xiao Yi and said word by word!

The so-called condor shooter, this is the name of the best archery in the Huns, and later the Han army repeatedly went out to fight, plus the southern Xiongnu annexed, this word slowly introduced into the Han land, becoming the exclusive name of the marksman!

As the old saying goes, birds fly in the air, but eagles are difficult to shoot. Prairie eagles, generally with a wingspan of two to three meters, like to stay at an altitude of two or three hundred meters, looking for prey, and then swooping down to attack prey, can hunt larger animals such as sheep and deer. There is a sentence in "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", "The green eagle holds the dog and the sheep, and eats the deer." "It can be seen that the fierce eagle is abnormal and huge.

The average archer simply can't shoot the arrow so high, and the feathers of the steppe eagle have become shiny and smooth in the evolution of thousands of years in order to reduce the air resistance when gliding, and if the bow and arrow do not shoot vertically into the eagle's body, it will immediately slip on its feathers, and it is difficult to stab or kill it.

Therefore, the eagle must not only be accurate, but also be able to pull a strong bow to shoot the eagle; The Condor Shooter has outstanding abilities, and is basically an ancient special forces, specializing in special tasks in the army, such as detectives, killing opponents with cold arrows, and so on.

Leaving the blacksmith shop, the next step is to go to the pavilion chief to report a household registration to Xiao Yi, ancient China has always been strict about household registration management, since the Qin Dynasty, all men over the age of 14 must declare their household registration in case of national requisition, that is, from the day your name is reported to the household register, the state may call you for labor at any time, or go to war.

The pavilion chief's family lives in an ordinary courtyard in the south of the town, and the situation of the surrounding households seems to be no different, but there is an iron halberd on both sides of the small door, which makes Xiao Yi surprised, and those who have read the history books know that the Xunmen Halberd --- this is the best recognition for soldiers with military merits in ancient times.

It can be seen that the owner of this is an old soldier who has been on the battlefield and seen blood, and he has had special military merits according to the opposite, otherwise he would not have been commended by the Commander of the Halberd. Thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he didn't expect that there was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in a remote town in Yuyang County, there were hermits and Taoists outside the world, first-class foundries, condor shooters, and now there was a battlefield meritorious service......

'Zhang Tingchang is about sixty years old' wearing an old black samurai robe, a slightly hunched back, a full head of sparse white hair, a weathered old face covered with scars, a pair of eyes are exceptionally bright, and the strong military aura on his body can be felt from a long distance.

In addition, one of the pavilion chief's legs was slightly lame, and it seemed that he had been wounded on the battlefield; And the scar is also the most valuable medal of a soldier!

The pavilion chief and the old Taoist looked very familiar, and after listening to the old dao's intentions, they began to look Xiao Yi up and down with those bright eyes, looking left and right for a long time, and finally nodded slightly, I don't know if I was satisfied with Xiao Yi, or trusted the eyes of the old Dao's apprentices......

then quickly registered Xiao Yi, and the work efficiency was very high, which was enough to make the police station of later generations embarrassed, but in the background column, Xiao Yi was filled in as the grandson of the old way......

"What's the situation? If you report an account, you have to be a grandson? ”

"Congratulations to the Taoist for getting the good apprentice!"

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ......" Lao Dao did not have the slightest modesty this time, and laughed proudly.

Back to the Taoist temple the sky has been completely dark, the ancients did the sunrise and sunset, the Taoist temple behind the three main houses, in the middle is the old Taoist meditation place, the old Taoist lives in the east house, Xiao Yi's bedroom is in the west house.

Lao Dao went back to the house to rest, Xiao Yi still had one more thing to do, that is, to recite the Taoist Qingxin Mantra three times, this is the task that Lao Dao gave him to be thunderous, usually you can not worship Lao Jun, do not read the Taoist scriptures, or you can not cultivate your mind, it doesn't matter if you eat meat and drink alcohol, but reciting the Qingxin Mantra three times in the morning and evening is the only requirement of Lao Dao for Xiao Yi, no matter how windy or rainy, there is no explanation, and the result of a lazy time is that the buttocks are swollen by Lao Dao for three days. Over time, Xiao Yi developed the habit of not reciting the heart mantra three times and not falling asleep.

In the future, whether it is marching and fighting, or listening to the government in the court, or even becoming the Great Sima of the Great Wei Empire, the general of Shenwei Tiance, under one person, after tens of thousands of people are in high positions, they will also recite it every day, and even before making love with their wives and concubines every night, they must first recite the heart mantra before going to bed! This has also become one of the three unsolved mysteries about 'Wushou Hou Xiaoyi' for later generations who study the history of the Three Kingdoms......

In later generations, all the general fans who worship the military god 'Hou Xiaoyi' will recite the [Taoist Qingxin Mantra] in the big tent whenever they go out on the expedition, one is to relieve the pressure brought by the battlefield, and the other is to pray for the blessing of the military god and victory! The habit slowly spread to Japan, and finally all Japanese generals had to carry a small wooden sign with seven big characters written on it:

Bow down and have no worries in your life!

【Taoist Purifying Mantra】

The heart is like ice, and the sky is not shocked

All changes are still calm, and the mind is calm

Dirt is not stained

The void is chaotic

It is difficult to grow each other

Forgetting things is the same as Nirvana

Heaven and earth are boundless, and all things are one

Flying flowers and falling leaves are like a valley

A thousand worries before I put it into my heart

That is, the eyebrows are raised, and the spirit platform is clear

The mind is unhindered, and the mind is not attached

Relieve the mind and release the spirit, and there is no soul

The water flow is not alarmed, and the clouds are too late

Single-mindedly, the past and the present are free

The heart is as pure as water, and the water is the heart.

The breeze is silent, and the waves are not alarmed.

Sitting alone, the harp whistled and sounded.

Zen silence is settled, and the poisonous dragon hides.

I don't know what to do, and God rewards hard work.

I am righteous and awe-inspiring, and the ghosts are terrified.

I am full of love, and heaven and earth return to my heart.

I am ambitious, and the water is prosperous!

The sky is high and the earth is wide, and the water is flowing through the clouds.

Fresh and cure, straight to make a living.

To the best of nature, the road is natural!
