Chapter 9 The Human Heart Is Sinister
Tonghui came to the farmer's side and asked, "Are you okay?"
The farmer said again and again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
At this time, the elderly Taoist priest said, "Tonghui, let's go on our way." Tonghui agreed, and turned over on the horse.
Zhang Xuanmeng was very indignant when he saw the evil man beating the cropper, and when he saw that the Taoist priest came to the rescue, his martial arts were high, and he admired it in his heart, and Zhu Kexin walked out from behind the tree, helped the farmer and said: "Uncle, get up and go home." The three Taoist priests suddenly saw two children coming out of the woods, dressed strangely, and took one look at them, and then continued on their way.
Zhang Xuanmeng picked up the crop man, comforted him, and walked forward. I didn't go far, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of me, and the three Taoist priests turned around again. Seeing the two of them, the elderly Taoist priest jumped off his horse, walked in front of him and said, "Where are you going, you boy?"
Zhang Xuanmeng heard the Taoist priest call him a son, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Let's go to relatives." Because his hometown called the little boy "Son."
Seeing that Zhang Xuanmeng was stunned, the Taoist priest nodded, and said to the two Taoist priests: "Tongwu, Tonghui, you come down and carry these two children to the back of the horse and take them away for a while." "Yes", the two jumped off their horses.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuanmeng hurriedly said: "Dao Ye, don't dare to trouble you, let's go by ourselves, thank you for your kindness." ”
The old Taoist priest said: "You are such a young child, you know how to help others, you are quite chivalrous, and you are a good child." This is the wilderness, and there is no one near or far, and if a wild beast comes out, will it not harm your life? Son, get on the horse, we're heading south, too. As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he sighed.
Although Zhang Xuanmeng didn't know where they came from, he saw the sadness of what this Taoist priest said, and saw their chivalrous deeds, which was definitely not the vicious flow of the Shura Sect, so he couldn't bear to refuse anymore, and said: "Thank you so much, Daoist."
The Taoist priest said: "Thank you, this is what we should do as chivalrous people who practice martial arts." So Zhang Xuanmeng and Zhu Kexin sat in front of the two young Taoist priests and walked forward.
Along the way, the old Taoist priest chatted with the two of them for a while. He claimed to be a Taoist priest of Wudang Mountain, the Taoist name Xuanwu, fifty-five years old this year, because of his martial arts practice, his internal strength was pure, and he looked much younger. He also highly praised the Wudang faction, which is one of the best in the martial arts, with broad and profound martial arts, and there are masters from generation to generation. The Wudang faction has strict rules, everyone is chivalrous and righteous, and hoeing is peaceful. It is said that Zhang Xuanmeng and Zhu Kexin are extremely fascinated, and they really want to worship him as a teacher and join the Wudang faction.
Zhang Xuanmeng deliberately asked about the Shura religion. Xuanwu praised that the Shura Sect was not the opponent of the Wudang Sect, and the head of the sect heard that the Shura Sect was doing evil in the rivers and lakes, and he was very angry, and he was about to attack it and get rid of them.
When Zhang Xuanmeng heard this, he became more and more fascinated, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that he and Ke Xinzheng had nowhere to go, and if they allowed him, he would go to Wudang Mountain with them, and he was not afraid of being chased and killed by the Shura Sect.
In less than two hours, they entered a town, and everyone voted for an inn. Xuanwu specially bought Zhang Xuanmeng and Zhu Kexin two bright clothes to change. It was only at this time that Zhang Xuanmeng got rid of the clown-like embarrassment he had been in for more than a month and became closer to Xuanwu.
That night, Xuanwu and Zhang Xuanmeng lived in the same room, and they put together the quilt before going to bed. slept until midnight, Zhang Xuanmeng vaguely felt as if someone was looking for something beside him, but he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes. It wasn't until dawn that he woke up, and Xuanwu had already gotten up. When they had finished eating, they hurried on their way.
The day went very fast, Xuanwu rented a carriage for the two of them, lay down comfortably, and walked nearly a hundred miles in a day. Until the evening, I found another inn to stay. Xuanwu was still in a room with them. When Zhu Kexin slept, the secret note was kept close to him. In the middle of the night, Zhang Xuanmeng felt that someone was searching for something on him, but he still couldn't open his eyes.
The next day, Zhang Xuanmeng told Xuanwu about the situation, and Xuanwu said: "No one has ever come in, maybe you are dreaming, right?" Zhang Xuanmeng nodded, very confused. Because he did not meet the group of Taoists in Wudang in the previous life, the trajectory of rebirth in this life has seriously deviated from the previous life, and even said that it has followed another life trajectory, and Zhang Xuanmeng can no longer predict what will happen next.
In the evening, the group came to a mountain forest, the mountain peak is dangerous, the road is rugged, and pedestrians are rare. Walking to the depths of a valley, the Xuanwu life car stopped, called Zhang Xuanmeng to him and said: "Child, I see that you are very talented, and you must have great success in practicing martial arts, I want to accept you as an apprentice, I don't know what you want?"
Zhang Xuanmeng saw that this life was different from the previous life, and he had nowhere to go, and he already had the idea of worshipping him as a teacher. ”
Xuanwu saw his childish voice, but said something like an adult, and laughed: "Good boy, you have such a good heart and good qualifications, I can't ask for it, how can I not like it." I've accepted a few apprentices who are not satisfied, but you are willing to worship me as a teacher, and I am very happy, so you can worship the teacher here, right?"
When Zhang Xuanmeng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he wanted to kneel, but he heard Xuanwu say: "Don't be busy yet, before apprenticing to the teacher, you have to tell me all the details of your life experience, and you can't hide anything, otherwise, for my Wudang faction, it is a big crime of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors." ”
Zhang Xuanmeng was stunned when he heard this. was hesitating, Tonghui couldn't help but say loudly on the side: "Come back to Uncle Shi, are you from Chuzhou, are you surnamed Zhang?"
Zhang Xuanmeng's heart sank, and he pondered for a long time and said: "Dao Chief, I have no secrets, if you don't think I'm good, just look at me for a while." Xuanwu listened, and his face sank.
Tong Hui said sharply: "Don't hide it anymore, little doll, are you the second child of the Zhu family who escaped from the Shura Sect, and do you have this secret book with you?" ”
