Chapter 56: Erniu

Before I decided to go back to Shaolin, I would go to the Huishi master of Shunfeng Blacksmith Shop again.

When I came to Taoyuan Villa, it was still a familiar house, the house was empty, and the door of the living room was still closed.

I stepped forward and knocked on the door, but the voice of Erniu came: Come in.

I pushed the door open, and Erniu sat in the place where Master Huishi used to sit.

When I walked in, Erniu raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept for days.

Erniu said, Zhishan, you are finally here.

When he spoke, there was a faint joy in his voice.

I asked, "What about Uncle Huishi?"

Erniu stood up and said you come with me. After saying that, he turned around and walked to the backyard.

Follow Erniu to the backyard, where is the boiler for Master Huishi to build weapons and the straw shed for storing coal.

It's just that there is a grave with very new soil in such a backyard, which looks out of place.

In front of the grave was erected a monument, without words.

I said, "It's ......

Erniu nodded and said that this is your Uncle Huishi.

I was taken aback and asked how Uncle Erniu Huishi died.

Erniu walked to the grave and squatted down, picked up some grass roots and gravel from the grave soil, and said as he picked it up, I'll tell you a story first.

I didn't know what Erniu was going to say, so I didn't dare to answer.

Erniu said, I am a disciple of Wudang and an apprentice of the law enforcement elder.

I couldn't help but say "ah", it was so unexpected. I asked, how do you ...... How could he be a disciple of Wudang?

Erniu ignored me, and said as if talking to himself, eleven years ago, one day the master was entrusted by a friend to go to the capital to do errands, and when he came back, his face was full of anxiety. My master and I were like father and son, and I didn't know why he was so worried, so I asked him privately. The master said that when he went to the capital for dinner, he met a middle-aged monk, and the monk threw some copper plates to him, but the monk was angry on the spot, saying that I was a disciple of the Buddhist sect, not a disciple of the beggar gang, what do you mean by throwing money? The master did not want to make trouble at that time, so he took back the copper plate, added some food to his bowl, and wanted to send the monk away. Unexpectedly, the monk threw the bowl on his table, and the soup splashed the master's face. The master held back his anger and said, "Are you unreasonable as a monk?"

The monk pointed to the fat in the bowl and said, Buddhist disciples don't eat meat, you are not a pastime for poor monks.

Only then did the master realize that Fang had accidentally added some meat to his meal, and he felt that he was at a loss, so he poured the food and called Xiao Er to fry some vegetarian dishes for the monk.

Who knew that the monk did not forgive, saying that you insulted me twice, and did not apologize once, because of the large number of people in the three Qings, do you think that the Buddha is easy to bully?

The master endured it again and again, and when he saw that he was unreasonable, he said coldly, does the monk want to fight?

When the monk heard about the fight, he said that I was afraid of you. You bulls have deceived the world and stolen your name for all these years with your soft hands and feet, and today is just the right time for you to appear.

As soon as the master heard that the monk wanted to fight, he settled the account and made an appointment with the monk to go outside the city, and the two fought.

But I don't know which temple is the monk, the fist and foot kung fu is really good, the master used all his life's energy, but he was still at a disadvantage, so he pulled out the sword from his waist and used the Tai Chi swordsmanship. The monk turned up the monk's robe, and also pulled out a sword from under the robe, the monk's swordsmanship is strange, all are offensive moves, so the attack instead of the defensive move, the master is the first time to see, dare not slack off, use the essence of Tai Chi swordsmanship, and he fought for a long time, although he could not win, but he would not lose.

After fighting for a while, the monk suddenly sneered and said, Tai Chi swordsmanship turned out to be only a sword blocking style, I said that your bull nose kung fu is soft, deceiving the world and stealing fame, and that's the case. When the master heard this, he was furious and shouted, "Wipe the sword!" A sword wandered away, and went straight to the monk's eyes, and the monk shouted, "It's a good time!" With his right hand, he slashed the sword at the master's sword, and the master relied on the sword to avoid it, and the sword momentum did not stop. The two swords collided, and only the sound of "dang" was heard, and the master's sword was broken.

The master stayed where he was, and the monk didn't take the opportunity to sneak attack, but just sneered and said that your Wudang Bright Sword Conference will be held soon, see what you do.

The master's sword was cut off, and all thoughts were disillusioned for a while, but he didn't know who he was losing to, so he said, at most, it was only a dead word. I don't know what temple your Excellency is from, and what is the name of the law.

The monk said, "It's okay to listen to you." The poor monk is called Daoyan, and his former name is Yao Guangxiao. If you want to seek revenge, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.

After speaking, Monk Daoyan left.

The master picked up the broken sword, and had no intention of staying in the capital to do business, so he hurriedly returned, thinking of the bright sword conference held soon, once the head found out that the sword was broken, according to the rules of Wudang, the staff was afraid that it would not be able to escape, so he frowned.

After listening to the master, I suddenly remembered that the master and the Hui Ze of the Shaolin Temple have had a good relationship since childhood, and it is rumored that the Shaolin Armory Academy has the ability to continue the sword, why not ask Uncle Hui Ze to help you continue the sword?

The master said, this person is not right, in order to seek fame and fortune, he loves to use some indiscriminate means. If I ask him, he will hold me hostage and make me do something for him, and I will end up in ruin, which is worse than death.

I thought about it for a while and said Master, this matter is easy to do. I heard that he lost to Hui En in the last session and failed to play for Shaolin, so he was unwilling. Shaolin does not have a talented and intelligent little monk, and it is rumored that Abbot Huineng has been anxious about this. Hui Ze has always wanted to find a good apprentice, passed on his mantle, and participated in the martial arts alliance master bidding competition for himself, but he fulfilled this wish. The master can remember that one day through the Scorpion Mountain to spend the night, the farmer in the dining room asked the master to teach the method of longevity, the master said some Tai Chi method, the farmer seemed to understand whether he understood or not, who knew that the child who was playing on the side, actually comprehended three points, but helped the master to explain a little to his father. The master had praised this kid for his martial arts talent that day.

The master heard me talk about this, and said that there was indeed such a thing, that day I wanted to take the child back to Wudang, but the farmer did not agree with me to take the child away, I regretted it for a while, if it wasn't for the head of the family has already brought back Changyunzi, for the teacher even had the idea of going to Scorpion Mountain to kill people and take the child.

If the master tells Hui Ze the child's address, what do you think Hui Ze will do? He will definitely beg the farmer like the master, but if the farmer does not agree, Hui Ze will secretly kill the farmer and then take the child away. In this way, the master has evidence of his crime, how dare he blackmail the master to do things for him after he helps you renew the sword?

After hearing the great joy of the master, he went to find Hui Ze, and later Hui Ze brought back a disciple, Shaolin gave the law name Zhishu.

When Erniu said this, I couldn't help but let out an "ah", and I was suddenly surprised, happy and sad: I was surprised that Uncle Huize killed innocent people indiscriminately in order to accept apprentices; I was happy to know that the death of Zhishu's parents was not accidental; and sad was that the murderer of Zhishu's parents was his current mentor. When I was in Shaolin, although I didn't like Zhishu, I thought that if I changed places with him, and suddenly heard that the murderer of my family was my mentor, I was afraid that people would also go crazy, how should I tell Zhishu about this? Even if I told the abbot, I was afraid that the abbot would not be heartbroken when he learned about it. As for the abbot, he and Hui Ze have been brothers and sisters for all these years, and when the Discipline Academy wants to execute Hui Ze, the abbot will also be disappointed and sad.

In the midst of his troubles, Er Niu said again, when the master returned to the mountain again, the sword had already been renewed. I asked the master if it was a continuation of the Shaolin Armory Academy, and the master said no, the Shaolin Armory Academy has many eyes and ears, but I am afraid that I can't hide it. Hui Ze led the master to find Hui Ze's lay brother Hui Shi, Hui Shi was in Shaolin when he was in the Arsenal to learn art, and he had a masterful smelting technique. Hui Shi read the same love and agreed to Hui Ze to renew the sword for the master.

The master also said, although my sword is not a famous sword of a famous general, its sharpness is comparable to that of an ordinary sword, and it was cut off by the bronze sword of the Daoyan monk, I really can't understand it.

I asked the master, is it an ordinary bronze sword on the market?

Master Dao, there is a slight difference, the bronze sword of the Daoyan monk is a blunt sword, and there is no blade.

I heard Erniu talk about the bladeless bronze sword, and suddenly remembered that the sword was made by Master Zhengyan of the White Horse Temple, and I had a question, Dao, did the monk say a fake name?

Erniu said that it was undoubted, and later the master went to the capital again, and asked the people about it, there was really a Taoist monk, and the appearance described was the same as what the master saw. The Daoyan monk has a small nunnery in the capital, and he is also known as the "old man of Duan". The incense was strong before, and since the last Shaolin defeat in the main bidding tournament of the martial arts league, no one came to burn the incense in this nunnery, and the monk Daoyan rarely came here.

I said to Erniu, I don't hide it, I know that there is a monk in the capital, and he uses a bladeless bronze sword, but his law name is Zhengyan.

Erniu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, saying that it was a monk from the White Horse Temple. After nine years, we still used a fake name to find out that Wudang was angry, for fear that we would find out, and we used a fake name for all these years in the capital. It's really a good cultivation, a good measure!

Erniu paused, and then said, although the master's sword has been renewed, he is very distressed. The master said that when the sword was broken, his mind was full of complete despair, and when he thought about it, he would always be afraid. The master was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and he was always worried that the sword would break again one day.

In this way, the master passed three years with worry. One day, the master said to me, I want to expel you from the master's door.

I was taken aback and said that the apprentice would never leak the master's broken sword.

The master said that you misunderstood, for the sake of the teacher, I am afraid that the sword will be broken again one day, and the Shunfeng Ear Huishi may not help me to continue. After I expelled you from the sect, you went to Huishi to apprentice, and no matter what, you have to learn the art of continuing the sword. After learning, you will return to Wudang, and you will be re-admitted as a teacher. You can rest assured, during the time you go, I will give your parents an extra sum of silver taels, so that they will have no worries for the rest of their lives. I don't know if you say yes or not.

I think that I am not a believer in the Tao, but my family has been poor since I was a child, and my parents sent me to Wudang to learn martial arts, and when I finished learning, I went back to build a Taoist temple, usually taught people martial arts, and did some Dharma for my neighbors to make a living. Now I only need to learn to continue the sword, and the master will give the pen a settling-in fee, and Master Su Ri loves me very much, and I can help him get rid of the trouble of worrying about the broken sword on this trip, so why not? So I agreed to the master.

After I went down the mountain, I found Taoyuan Villa, and found Master Huishi to explain the intention, but I didn't know that Master Huishi did not agree, if I can't learn the method of continuing the sword, how can I go back to face the master?

But he said that I had been kneeling for more than half a year, but Master Huishi never agreed. Gradually summer came, the weather was hot, mosquito bites, so not uncomfortable, I knelt down and grabbed a handful of fine sand in front of me, there were mosquitoes passing by, pinching the sand and shooting to death. One day, Master Huishi saw me, and he suddenly promised me that he could take me as an apprentice, but he would only agree if he had to shoot him with a hidden weapon.

I thought the opportunity had come, I learned a superb secret weapon technique in Wudang, it should not be difficult to shoot to Master Huishi, who knew that Master Huishi's ears were very strong, he would hear my slightest movement, and he would always be flashed away in advance.

I sneaked up day and night, and I didn't shoot Master Huishi for seven years.

A year ago, I finally came up with a way to hide myself on the roof of the main house and take a peek at the roof. I'm going to wait for Master Huishi to come in and take advantage of his distraction to hit him from the roof with a secret weapon of the Heavenly Maiden scattering flowers. It's just that Master Huishi has been drinking tea since he came in, and I didn't dare to act rashly, and my breathing was very slow, for fear that he would find out that he was prepared. After waiting for half an hour, the opportunity finally came. On that day, you and the four sons of Wudang happened to come to renew the sword.
