Chapter 15 The Tang Dynasty's Mansion
The Tang Dynasty Mansion, as the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, is the official mansion with troops, except for the palace accident, General Qin Qiong's mansion, and Yin Cheng are only in line with the mansion with troops everywhere. As a sect, Shenmu Forest, Daughter Village, and Huasheng Temple are listed as the first sect, and jointly maintain the order of the Tang Dynasty. Its sect was deeply entrenched, and a strong army was formed, mainly to defend the Tang king Li Shimin.
The founder of the sect, Cheng Yanjin, is a famous general of the founding of the country and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and it can be said that he is a veteran. first joined the Wagang Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. In the end, with Tang Taizong, he broke the Song Dynasty King Kong and so on, and attacked the Duke of Suguo, with a great record.
The Tang Dynasty official mansion is heavily guarded, and the building is magnificent. When he entered, there were disciples of the Tang Dynasty Mansion who guarded his body tightly, and around the mansion, there were disciples of the Tang Dynasty Mansion who patrolled closely. The team, which has always been strictly disciplined, is lifting stone piers on the training ground, practicing muscles and swordsmanship.
Cheng Yanjin stood aside and lectured the other disciples, while teaching and demonstrating, holding two Xuanhua board axes and rushing into the stake array to chop left and right, every time the axe is released, there must be a stake like being cut by the blade of iron like clay, like a neat pile of wood. The heavy heavy axe did not feel a trace of gravity in his hand, and the double axe waved in the stake array, like a graceful woman singing and dancing on the stage, elegant and free.
Yuanchen saw Cheng biting Jin's posture and rushed to him to applaud. "Wow, you're amazing, old man. My senior brother is also quite okay, why don't you two show me twice? ”
Seeing Yuanchen's rudeness, Yuanming hurriedly pulled Yuanchen behind him, bowed down and apologized: "Master Cheng, don't be surprised, this is my junior brother Yuanchen, I was separated from him in the three-star cave at the beginning." ”
"Boy, you come and show the old man two tricks." Cheng Biting Jin grinned and opened his bearded mouth, and threw two axes over.
Hearing this, Yuanchen stared at the axe that was about to come to him, and grabbed it with both hands, and was pulled by the gravity of the axe, and the axe was deeply inserted into the ground. The training disciples all focused their eyes on Yuanchen, and Yuanchen, who was staring at him with a red and hot face, puffed up his strength and wanted to propose these two plate axes.
"Up", the green tendons on Yuanchen's throat burst out, but the plate axe did not lift it. The hippie touched his hair with a smile, "Give me another chance." With both hands clenching the handle of an axe, he staggered to his feet and staggered to the ground. He fell to the ground and burst into laughter. Cheng Yanjin on the side just frowned and nodded lightly.
In the spacious and bright hall, a disciple handed a cup of tea to Cheng Yanjin, who was sweating profusely. Yuanchen Yuanming next to him sat aside and waited for Cheng to bite Jin to speak.
Yuanchen waited for a while, and also knocked on the table a little irritably. Cheng Yanjin's mood at this moment is not much better, because he has lost the hero competition for five consecutive years. It was an annual martial arts competition, in which the fifteen sects participated, and the Tang Dynasty government had been eliminated in the first round for five consecutive years. When he left, some juniors were still pointing there, and he didn't know where to put his old face. When he saw Yuan Ming coming, Cheng Yanjin thought that there was hope for this competition, but he was told that he would not enter other sects in his life.
Among the fifteen sects, everyone knows that Cheng Biting Jin has the best face, and now he has fallen into this realm. I don't know how to be good.
Glancing at them, Cheng Yanjin put down the teacup, supported his thighs with both hands and asked, "Yuan Ming, is there something that needs the help of the old body now?" ”
"This time, I beg Master Cheng to take in my junior brother for the time being." Yuan Ming's whispering was hesitant.
Forcefully wiping the beard underneath, the tiger-like eyes stared at Yuanchen, and a hoarse voice came out: "I can take it in for a long time, but I have a request." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it," Yuan Ming smiled.
Cheng Biting Jin grinned and said, "I want him to be my disciple." ”
Hearing this, Yuanchen stood up without hesitation and refused directly, and said respectfully: "Thank you Master Cheng for your kindness, I really can't do it!" I don't have the stamina, I'm just opportunistic. In addition, I have already devoted myself to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. If I go to your sect again, won't I deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors? This must not be. ”
"How can you refuse, today you are here, you can see if you can go out of this door." Cheng Yanjin suddenly became furious. But the corners of his mouth under his beard were slightly raised.
"Isn't this a robbery, I don't"
"Alright." Yuan Ming interrupted Yuan Chen's words and said: "You didn't study the Tao well when you were in Fangcun Mountain, and you slept all day long, you think I'm really so easy to deceive, Bodhi Patriarch said to listen to me when you go down the mountain, why do you want to disobey?" ”
Succumbed to the tough tone, Yuanchen had a cold face and snorted coldly: "It's okay to keep it, but." With a smile on his face, he approached Cheng Yanjin's side: "I make the dishes better every day, I eat a lot." It is best to roast duck and barbecue Buddha jump over the wall every day, and it is as simple as that. ”
Cheng Yanjin didn't speak, nodded, and motioned for Yuanchen to go out.
"Thank you for helping me get an apprentice."
Yuan Ming smiled and said, "I already saw what you meant when I was in the training ground just now, and Yuan Chen does have the strength and talent to practice weapons. If he is forced to practice the Dao, the twisted melon is not sweet, and it is useless. I also hope that he will learn a little bit from Master Cheng and fight back to Fangcun Mountain with me. ”
Shaking his head, Cheng Yanjin's hand holding the teacup clenched slightly, looked at the door in front of him, and said in his heart: "It's a good seedling, but it's a little arrogant and lazy." I don't believe it, I can't cultivate you. There's still half a year, and it's up to you, boy. He took a sip of the rich bitter Pu'er tea, but his heart was moist and sweet
It was just after the fifth watch, and Yuanchen was still eating a big meal in his dream with saliva on the warm quilt. I grabbed a pig's foot in my hand and gnawed it, and the more I gnawed, the saltier it became. When I opened my eyes, I was licking Cheng Jin's fist. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he muttered, "Master, why don't you sleep." ”
Cheng Yanjin looked at him with a serious face, you listen to the voice outside. The sound of weapons striking came in. Cheng Biting Jin said with a straight face: "Here, the fifth watch gets up to carry water, delivers letters and runs errands, and practicing the art of war is what you should do in a day, and read it on your first day." You help me clean up a bunch of thieves who robbed homes and houses at the border of the Tang Dynasty. It's your saber."
Yuan Chen took a miao knife that had just been made. While wiping the road, he asked, "Which other senior brother is going to do chivalry with me?" ”
"A man in black named Yuanchen."
"Oh!" When Cheng bit Jin out of the room, it was Yuanchen who reacted, Yuanchen's man in black? Isn't this my shadow? After all, I'm going alone?? It's miserable, this time. Master, you have to bless me. (Red Dust Trial)
