Chapter 35: A Cloud
Zhang Lingdao hurriedly grabbed the reins and looked back at the person sitting in the corner, "Senior Brother Xiaoxiangzi, why are you sitting here?" ”
Xiao Xiangzi smiled and said, "Get rid of distracting thoughts and concentrate on it, this is the true nature of my true martial disciple when he cultivates." ”
"Then senior brother, when did you come here to meditate?" Zhang Lingdao continued to ask, in his memory, this senior brother didn't come here often.
Xiao Xiangzi was still sitting on the ground, looking very calm, "I've been meditating here for some time. But none of this matters, I heard that you have been down the mountain for some time, and you have finally returned. ”
He was still smiling, but his face had become a little unnatural, "It's just that something happened on the mountain in your absence......"
Zhang Lingdao nodded, "I know, I heard him say when I met Senior Brother Ling Xuan at the mountain gate before. ”
"Alas!" Xiao Xiangzi sighed, "The little junior brother has been such a temper since he was a child, a few days ago, a few prodigal sons in the mountains and lakes made disrespectful remarks, which made him repair his life. ”
"So he was punished by the master?"
"That's right, the master clearly ordered not to be rude to the guests on the mountain, but the little junior brother made this trouble, but he violated the door rules again, so he was punished by the master for copying the Tao Te Ching." Xiao Xiangzi's explanation is very clear.
"In this way, the punishment is quite light." Zhang Lingdao touched his chin, "I heard him say this, this seems to be his style, but according to what you say, Shizun is to protect him, otherwise the punishment will be heavier." ”
Xiao Xiangzi was about to stand up, but the whole person just got up from the ground, and sat down weakly, Zhang Lingdao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Xiangzi was a little shy, "I've been sitting for a long time, uh...... Leg numb...! ”
But after all, he is a person who practices martial arts, and his recovery speed is still very fast, and it didn't take long for him to stand up and paced to the door, "The little junior brother is still young, and he doesn't understand the sinister rivers and lakes, but fortunately, the people who quarreled with him that day were only incompetent rats. ”
"That's right," Zhang Lingdao nodded, "After all, he is young and doesn't understand this, so it's good to suffer some hardships." ”
"Yes! Do the math, the little junior brother has been on the mountain for more than ten years, and just seven or eight years after you went up the mountain, I remember that when the master picked him up and took him back to the mountain, he was only a five-year-old child, half a head shorter than me. Xiao Xiangzi's tone was very emotional, "Now he is as tall as me, and his temper and temperament have not changed much, he is always straight." ”
Zhang Lingdao looked back at the mountain gate over there, although he couldn't see the people standing there clearly, but he knew that one of them was the little junior brother, "The rivers and lakes are sinister, Senior Brother Lin still needs to sharpen a lot!" ”
Xiao Xiangzi immediately exposed his careful thoughts, "You kid has always spoiled him!" Don't look at you saying this in front of me, he must have asked you to help intercede with Uncle Shi again this time, right? Don't listen to him, this time you have to let him know his mistakes, let him have a long memory, and don't mess around in the future! ”
Zhang Lingdao was a little embarrassed, he had always had no resistance to his junior brother, "But the junior brother looks quite pitiful, and he can't look past it if he doesn't help me." ”
Xiao Xiangzi sighed again at the door, "Hey! You are just soft-hearted, I hope the little junior brother can understand your hard work! Uncle Shi is behind, you go to him and see if he will let you intercede. ”
"Okay, then I'll go." Zhang Lingdao thought about it, did not get on the horse, but took the reins and slowly walked out of the door.
"But you still have to remember that even if the punishment is not large, a small punishment is always inevitable!" Xiao Xiangzi said behind him.
"Well, there is no need for a big punishment, a small punishment is still necessary." Zhang Lingdao said without looking back, in front of him, Uncle Yiyunzi had already appeared in his sight.
Beyond the mountain gate, it is the entrance of the Taiji Dojo, the entrance is a huge building, there is a small temple in front of the building, Yiyunzi is standing at the door of the temple, looking at this side with a stern expression.
"I think you've already seen your junior brother, come to me quickly!" Zhang Lingdao was slowly walking towards that side, when he heard Uncle Shi's voice as loud as a bell, he immediately turned over his horse and ran to the temple.
Yiyunzi is a very burly Taoist, with a very thick beard, he doesn't look angry and arrogant, he is also the law enforcement elder of Zhenwu, and he is in charge of the punishment of the disciples of the entire sect.
Zhang Lingdao got off the horse, walked in front of him, and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm back." ”
Yiyunzi glared at him, "Boy, you were at the mountain gate before, and you were stopped by Lin Xuan's kid?" Did that kid ask you to come and intercede with him? ”
Zhang Lingdao's face fell, "Uh...... Don't hide it from Uncle Shi, it's true. ”
"Hahaha!" Yiyunzi laughed, "This kid will be soft, but he can't run away from this thousand times of the Tao Te Ching!" ”
Zhang Lingdao had a black question mark on his face,??? "A thousand times? Isn't it five hundred times? ”
Yiyunzi's eyes widened, obviously unhappy, "It's obviously a thousand times, I'm afraid he changed it to five hundred times himself, right?" ”
He thought about it again, "Well, if he can really think about it and copy the scriptures quietly, it's not impossible to do it five hundred times." His eyes looked at Zhang Lingdao relatively gently, at least much better than his usual stern expression.
Zhang Lingdao hurriedly spoke, "Thank you Uncle for your accommodation, I think my junior brother will definitely change!" ”
Yiyunzi didn't think so, and glared at him fiercely, but there was no deterrent in Zhang Lingdao's eyes, "Hey! Every time Ling Xuan makes a mistake, you come to intercede for him, and he can be regarded as fearless! ”
His expression was a little helpless, but he also had some appreciation, "Among your disciples in this generation, you are the most sensible!" If you can continue to polish, it will be a great tool in the future! What has been the growth of your time down the mountain this time? ”
Zhang Lingdao said modestly, "Hmm...... There are many strong people in martial arts, I have to continue to work hard! He thought about it and said such a sentence, which was also what he saw and thought.
Yiyunzi was unhappy when he heard it, "What's the hurry?" The few tricks that your master taught you, if you can integrate them and form your own Jianghu moves and martial arts routines, it will be enough for you to break through the rivers and lakes. ”
"That's right, thank you Uncle for mentioning it." Zhang Lingdao was very sincere in thanking, which he never expected, it turned out that there was such a thing as a routine in martial arts.
Yiyunzi looked at him again, "You're going back to the main hall, aren't you?" ”
Zhang Lingdao nodded, "Yes, I'm going back to report to Shizun." ”
His expression suddenly changed slightly, and he didn't wait for Zhang Lingdao to speak, "Come, come, come, let me help you return to the main hall, and it can also save you a lot of foot strength!" ”
Zhang Lingdao felt bad, so he wanted to refuse, but he was grabbed by Yiyunzi by the shoulder and threw out!
"Ahh I'm afraid of heights! Zhang Lingdao's screams once again echoed throughout the Zhenwu Mountain Gate, causing some insiders to laugh again.
