Chapter 1: Family Letter Urging Marriage

On July 7, 1937, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China began. War raged in East and North China, and gunpowder smoke filled the air. Patriots have picked up their big swords, spears and short guns to join the ranks of the anti-Japanese war. The story takes place in such an era of bloody resistance to war.

At noon, an 18-year-old sturdy young man on the mountain road near Mount Emei was walking halfway up the mountain with a load of water. The trees on both sides of the road are towering, and the sunlight leaks through the gaps in the leaves and spreads onto the road, making it look mottled.

Just as the young man was running briskly, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in the bushes. He threw out a long rope and hit it straight at the young man who was running with water. The strong wind struck, only to feel the snake shadow flying in front of him, the young man didn't have time to think about it, the body carrying the bucket instantly retreated, and stood firmly, but not a drop of water in the bucket was spilled. And that long rope followed like a shadow, clinging closely. The young man couldn't take care of himself, and seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he opened his mouth and bit down on one end of the long rope. The young man took half a step back, his dantian was angry, and his bald head with beads of sweat instantly pulled the rope towards the outside of the road. Which rope was immediately straightened. The young man squatted slightly on his legs and let out a fierce roar from his throat. A violent force traveled from one end of the rope to the other end of the woods. I only heard a snapping sound in the woods, and a towering tree fell in response. It turned out that the people in the woods had already tied one end of the rope to the tree. Unexpectedly, the young man actually pulled the big tree off with his divine power.

Looking at the young man at this time, because of inertia, the big tree had broken and lost the strength to support it and fell backwards. said that it was too late and that it was fast, just when the young man fell backwards, the young man planted a tree, nailed it to the ground, and turned his upper body, fortunately, there was no danger. And there was not much water left on his shoulders at this time.

The young man stood still, amazed, and was about to ask where the sacred is be?

Haha, the sound of wild laughter suddenly came out of the bushes, and a bald monk who was dressed up and very strong came out, and I saw him put his hands together and smile at the young man.

"Master", the young man wiped his sweat with his hands and shouted: "Master, how about my 'Lotus Walk'?" ”

Which young man called a master is the heart master of Emei Banshan Zen Academy. Master Xinyi has outstanding martial arts, and his main job in the Banshan Monastery is to teach his disciples Emei hard kung fu. The Banshan Monastery was built in the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the incense has been flourishing. Up to now, Banshan Monastery has become one of the more influential temples in the Emei area.

Master Xinyi's real name is Rao Zhijian, he was very ambitious when he was young, participated in the uprising led by Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou, and finally because the Kuomintang rightists wantonly slaughtered revolutionary fighters, he was disheartened and went to Emei Banshan Monastery to become a monk. But he always cares about the country in his heart, especially in this era when the Japanese are rampant, he has no ambition to serve the country, but there is no way out to serve the country. Master Xinyi taught his apprentices the martial arts, and asked his disciples to remember the hatred of the country and the family and serve the motherland in the teaching of martial arts. After completing their studies, the disciples have become heroes and heroes on the main battlefield of resistance against Japan.

The young man in front of him was the first disciple among the more than 300 disciples of Master Xinyi, the first disciple of Master Xinyi, whose real name was Xiao Yikou. Xiao Yikou's father is also a good father with a lot of patriotic sentiments, Xiao Yikou was born when the Japanese invaders entered Northeast China and were domineering, and it was also when the patriotic youth broke out in Beiping when the May Fourth Youth Movement broke out.

When Xiao Yikou was five years old, he was forcibly sent by his father to Emei Banshan Zen Monastery to learn martial arts.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yikou has spent thirteen years in Emei Banshan Zen Temple. In the past thirteen years, Xiao Yikou has grown from a hairy little child to a sturdy young man, and Master Xinyi's martial arts and mental methods have been deeply reflected in Xiao Yikou's every move.

For so many years, Master Xinyi still taught him what he knew about marching and fighting in his spare time, hoping that his disciples would one day be able to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy to fulfill their unfulfilled wishes.

Looking at his beloved disciple Xiao Yikou standing in front of him, Master Xinyi smiled with his hand on his beard and said, "Yikou, your 'Lotus Walk' has done my true inheritance, and as a teacher, I can rest assured that you will go down the mountain."

Listening to the master's words, Xiao Yikou was a little frightened, and said: "Master, I haven't learned enough, I still want to learn more from the master, and become a generation of grandmasters like the master in the future, I don't want to go down the mountain."

Looking at the honest and honest appearance of the disciple, maybe he is really the material of a generation of grandmasters. Master Xinyi sighed and said, "Good apprentice, let's talk as we go." Xiao Yikou walked behind the master with a bucket and followed the master step by step.

Venerable Xinyi said, "Your father has sent me a letter? Xiao Yikou didn't speak, and waited for the master to say something. Venerable Xinyi continued, "Your father said in his letter that he had found you a daughter-in-law at home and asked you to go home and get married."

Xiao Yikou was a little anxious and said, "Master, I don't want to leave you, I don't want to get married, I ask to be a monk."

Master Xinyi didn't look back at Xiao Yikou, and said to himself, "I understand your father's feelings, and I also support your father's actions very much." Xiao Yikou was a little puzzled. Master Xinyi said: "Now that the Japanese are rampant and the country is not peaceful, I don't have the heart to spend the rest of my life in this deep mountain and old forest, and you are a sturdy young man, a good time to kill the enemy on the battlefield, if you waste it in this ancient temple in the deep mountains, I will be disappointed for you."

"Master!" Xiao Yikou was shocked, shouted, and said, "Then I'll join the army to kill devils!" ”

Master Xinyi stood still, looked back at Xiao Yikou, and nodded approvingly: "Good boy, I feel very satisfied that you have this heart, and it is not in vain that I have cultivated you for so many years, but before you join the army, you still have to go home to get married before going to the battlefield, at least to meet your father's wishes."

Xiao Yikou was puzzled and asked suspiciously: "Doesn't my father also want me to kill at least one devil when I go to the battlefield?" ”

"What your father meant in the letter was that he wanted you to go home and get married, and let your daughter-in-law be pregnant before sending you to the battlefield."

Xiao Yikou shouted: "This is too unauthentic, master! After I went to the battlefield, I was more than lucky, so wouldn't I hurt other girls, and I became a widow in less than half a year after I got married?"

"When the national disaster is at hand, why should the family be?" Master Xinyi shook his head.

Xiao Yikou understood, his father didn't plan that Xiao Yikou would be able to return home alive from the battlefield. But his father didn't want the Xiao family to break off his bloodline from now on, so he arranged it like this. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and he has followed his father's arrangement, not only to serve the country, but also to fulfill his son's filial piety. Isn't loyalty and filial piety perfect?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yikou said to the master: "Master, I will go down the mountain tomorrow."

A smile of approval appeared on Master Xinyi's face. Master Xinyi warned Xiao Yikou: "Don't bully the weak when walking the rivers and lakes, eliminate violence and peace, and never tolerate and accommodate the wicked, because if you blindly accommodate, more people will be harmed. For the common people, good people must have the courage to sacrifice, and do good deeds to the end; In the face of national danger, we must forge ahead bravely, dare to take action, and have the spirit of dedication."

Xiao Yikou listened carefully to the master's teachings, and the master continued: "The rivers and lakes are sinister, we must see the heart, listen to the truth, do not take the evil road, be down-to-earth, and break out of our own world."

The master and apprentice walked all the way, and the master taught all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at the Zen monastery, and the disciples were practicing martial arts in the martial arts training ground. Xiao Yikou also joined the brothers and began to practice martial arts. The days turned a page like this, and as soon as the day dawned, Xiao Yikou reluctantly said goodbye to his master and brothers, and set foot on the way home.

Along the way, Xiao Yikou was very excited, and he was anxious to see his parents, he hadn't seen his parents for a few years, and he didn't know if his parents had gray hair? Xiao Yikou thought of the daughter-in-law who was about to pass through the door, is the daughter-in-law beautiful? Is it virtuous? Xiao Yikou thought like this, and he was even more eager to rush home early.

Just when Xiao Yikou was striding home, in Xiaojiawan, Xiao Yikou's parents were being blocked at home by a bully with his family at this time, and Xiao Yikou's house was on fire at this time. The neighbors were afraid of the bullies and did not dare to go to fight the fire. That fire burned for three days and three nights, and Xiao Yikou's parents were burned to death in the room by the bullies. Xiao Yikou's home has since been in ashes.

Xiao Yikou, who was in a hurry, looked forward to the joy of meeting his parents, broke his thighs along the way, and walked like the wind. If you know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
