Sanjiu said: "Congratulations to the thief brother for worshipping a good master!" Uncle Taoist, the thief brother is not a lover of reading, and he thinks about dancing and playing with swords all day long, so it's hard to care! He is disobedient, you have to remember to beat him, my husband still beat me in the palm of the hand! The ancient waterway people laughed and said, "Good! I listen to you, and if you don't obey, you will fight! Xiao Dongshan then came over to murder Sanjiu, and Sanjiu smiled and dodged.

The ancient water Taoist said: "Why do you call him brother thief?" Sanjiu sighed: "This person doesn't study well, he steals, robs and kidnaps me, this person is stingy, irritable and cringe......" Xiao Dongshan was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained the reason in detail. When the ancient waterway people heard this, they smiled and said, "Well done! Well done! What a good apprentice for me! ”

Xiao Dongshan rolled his eyes and said, "I'll give you to your father tomorrow, so as not to annoy you!" The ancient waterway said: "So good! ”

Xiao Dongshan asked the people of the ancient waterway who had not eaten yet, so he called Xiao Er to come and order a lot of dishes, but the people of the ancient waterway hurriedly stopped him and said, "That's enough to eat!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Today is a good day to apprentice, I want to celebrate." "Well, I ordered six dishes and a pot of wine.

The ancient waterway people sat on the top, Xiao Dongshan was accompanied by the side, the two of them talked about everything, one moment is Xiao Dongshan's life experience, one moment is how to get started with medicine, one moment is Sanjiu's left hand, one moment is today's royal rumors, and one moment is whether there are any immortals...... The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and they didn't realize that it was time for people to settle down, Sanjiu was asleep, so he called Xiao Er to collect wine and food, and the ancient water people asked for a third-class room, Xiao Dongshan said: "No, how can you live in a second-class room by yourself as an apprentice, let the master live in a third-class room, no, no!" "In the end, I asked for the second-class upper room next door, and the ancient waterway people went over to rest.

Early the next morning, the three of them left the inn, Xiao Dongshan settled the account, he and Sanjiu rode the horse borrowed by the beauty surnamed Yang, and the ancient waterway people rode donkeys. Along the way, the people of Gushuidao kept telling Xiao Dongshan some introductory principles in medical skills, and Xiao Dongshan listened carefully. At noon, I looked for a restaurant and continued to walk, there were still thirty or forty miles away from the grinding knife village, and the people of the Jinsha Gang secretly followed, and after walking for most of the day, I finally came to the grinding knife village. Some people saw Sanjiu and flew to report to Zhai Biao.

The three of them didn't stop, they went straight inside, and it wasn't until they saw Zhai Biao running out in a hurry in front of the gate of the Juyi Hall. When he saw Sanjiu, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Dao Chang is really an immortal!" Superb and wonderful, inside please! Yue'er, Yue'er! Sanjiu shouted, "Dad! I want to kill you! Zhai Biao came over and picked up Sanjiu, looked left and right, saw that his son was safe and sound, and said, "My son is blessed!" Tell Dad, who killed Huang Xiaochun? ”

Sanjiu said: "Ah! Huang Xiaochun is dead? Hmph, he lost me and ran away, but I didn't expect to die. Zhai Biao said angrily: "If you lose it, you will run?" The surname Huang really didn't have a good heart, looking at his broken name, what kind of giant tiger and giant tiger is not a good thing. Sanjiu pointed at Xiao Dongshan and said, "Thanks to this eldest brother who took care of me for a few days, otherwise I would have died of illness!" Zhai Biao glanced at Xiao Dongshan arrogantly, and said to the people around him: "Go and get ten taels of silver, thank you for this little brother." Well...... Why is it so familiar? At this time, Xiao Dongshan had taken off his big felt hat and combed his hair, and only a large bruise was missing from when he stole the book.

Xiao Dongshan said with a smile: "I changed the scripture of the helper that day, and the helper forgot it so quickly?" ”

Zhai Biao didn't pay much attention to Xiao Dongshan that day, only remembered that the person who stole the book had a blue scar on his face, and his face was a little blurry. Dare to come to death! My son, what the hell is going on! Did this thief kidnap you? ”

Sanjiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No!" No! Father! The book Huang Xiaochun gave you is a copy, and he kept the original book for himself! This brother came to him to ask for a book, Huang Xiaochun couldn't beat me, left me and ran away, this brother had to take care of me, it happened that I was sick again, I had a high fever, this brother took a long way to find the doctor, boiled medicine for me, served me for a few days, I was so good, I sent me back! ”

Zhai Biao thought about it, so he said to Xiao Dongshan: "Okay, for your sake of taking care of my son, the previous things will be written off!" The thief surnamed Huang is extremely hateful, extremely hateful! ”

Xiao Dongshan said: "Gang Master Zhai, I have nothing to do with you, so why write it off." I'm looking for Huang Xiaochun, but it's just for the scriptures. The original owner of this scripture was killed by Huang Xiaochun, and I promised to find the original book and pass it on to his successors. ”

Zhai Biao snorted and said, "Being killed in the woods under the wall, what is there to say!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Where is Huang Xiaochun's bedroom, can you take a look?" Zhai Biao said: "What! Do you still want to search me? Xiao Dongshan said: "Don't dare!" I just can't find the original scriptures, and I won't stop! Zhai Biao said: "Today's sake, for my son's sake, I am too polite to you, don't toast and don't eat and drink!" The more they talked, the more stiff they became.

Sanjiu hurriedly gave Xiao Dongshan a look, and pulled Xiao Dongshan's sleeve, Xiao Dongshan was silent. Sanjiu said: "Dad! I'm thirsty, go drink water first! As he spoke, he ran backwards.

Gu Shuidao said: "Gang Master Zhai, what I promised you has been done for you, what did you promise me?" Zhai Biao said politely: "It's a long time to be sluggish, and I'm offended!" Inside please! And he commanded the people to get food and drink.

Zhai Biao walked straight back with the ancient waterway people, and Xiao Dongshan also followed closely. Zhai Biao said: "Don't come!" The people of the ancient waterway even made a look, Xiao Dongshan had to stop, and sat in the Juyi Hall with a puff of breath and waited.

Zhai Biao and the ancient waterway people walked through the Juyi Hall, then through the martial arts training hall, and then through the two rows of houses in the back, and came to a small piece of farmland at the back, only to see some vegetables sparsely planted. Zhai Biao pointed to this vegetable field and said: "That day, I was practicing martial arts here alone, and suddenly a god came out, pointed me out for a long time, slapped me on the back of my neck, and passed on some luck to the method and left!" ”

Gu Shuidao said: "What does the immortal look like, how old is it?" Zhai Biao said: "What does it look like?" Needless to say, a Taoist leader of the immortal wind and bones, what an immortal should look like is what it should be. Age, it looks like it's in its thirties, it's like it's in its forties, and it's like it's in its fifties. The ancient waterway man asked, "White hair?" Brunette? What do you hold? Zhai Biao said: "Black hair, empty-handed!" The ancient waterway said: "What did you say?" Zhai Biao said: "Saying that I have some immortal roots, but I am late to get started, and said that I will practice hard, and I will come back in three years to teach me the method of immortal path." The ancient waterway man asked, "What day was that day, do you remember?" Zhai Biao said: "February 18 last year. ”

The ancient waterway people still had to ask, Zhai Biao said: "I know all I know, you want to see the immortals, count the days and try your luck." Please! When the two returned to the Justice Hall, Xiao Dongshan was gone. Just as he was about to look for it, Sanjiu led Xiao Dongshan out from behind, and Sanjiu said, "Dad!" Brother Shan said that my handwriting is good! "How did Zhai Biao know, Sanjiu, this child, first ran to Huang Xiaochun's room under the pretext of drinking water, and when he came back, he saw Xiao Dongshan alone in the Juyi Hall, and then took Xiao Dongshan to look for it in Huang Xiaochun's room, but did not see the "Mingxia Sutra", Xiao Dongshan understood that the original book must have fallen into the hands of the person who killed Huang Xiaochun, and he wanted to continue to search, but he had no clue.

At this time, it was getting late, so Zhai Biao arranged wine and food, gave them food, and arranged accommodation. Nothing to say for a night. Early the next morning, the ancient waterway people and Xiao Dongshan resigned from the Sanjiu father and son and headed to the southeast.

The master and apprentice walked for a long time, and when they arrived at a secluded place, Xiao Dongshan asked, "What did Zhai Biao say secretly?" Don't let me know yet. Gu Shui Dao said: "I won't hide it from you, what do you say I do?" Xiao Dongshan said: "I really don't know. The ancient waterway said: "I have no sect and travel all over the world, aiming to find immortals." This Zhai Biao promised to tell me the news of the immortal who taught him the immortal way. Xiao Dongshan was very curious and said, "Where is the immortal?" "Gu Shui Dao said: "He said that the immortals will reappear in February of the next year, and I will come here again to wait then." Xiao Dongshan said: "What the master said about promising Zhai Biao has been done, is it to find the child?" The ancient waterway said: "You are smart. Xiao Dongshan snorted: "Master kept me in the dark and sold me, I don't even know it!" When the ancient waterway people saw that he didn't hide what he had to say, they liked it and smiled silently.

Xiao Dongshan asked again: "Master, Master, you said that you have no door and no faction, so don't I also have no door and no faction?" I'm counting on adding a big faction to be majestic! Gu Shuidao said: "If you want to talk about the sect, we are all the disciples of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, and the medical saint's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" is really a masterpiece that has been handed down to the world, and you must learn it, so I will teach you slowly!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Oh, I forgot, I'm here to study medicine!" The ancient water people began to talk about the introduction of medicine again, Xiao Dongshan asked if he didn't understand, the master and apprentice, and they were not lonely when they asked and answered.

At noon, the ancient water people took out a few steamed buns, and the two of them ate them separately. The ancient water Taoist took out another Taoist robe, Xiao Dongshan was startled, and shouted: "Master, I don't want to be a Taoist priest!" The ancient waterway man smiled: "You can wear it and take a look!" Xiao Dongshan had no choice but to wear it, took a photo at the water's edge, hurriedly took it off, and said, "It's ugly!" Unsightly! The ancient water Taoist laughed and said: "You are too stout, how can there be such a majestic Taoist priest in the world, the Taoist priest wants the fairy wind Dao bone, you are clearly a wine bag rice bag, haha!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Master, don't laugh, I'm not a Taoist!" I'm going to get married!" Gu Shui Dao said: "Tao is not Tao, Tao is also Tao, speaking of which I am a Taoist, not a Taoist, haha." Xiao Dongshan said: "So you can not be a Taoist priest?" The ancient waterway said: "Don't do it." Xiao Dongshan relieved himself. Gu Shui Dao said: "Look at you scared, jumping up and down like a monkey, Taoist priests don't do it, but sometimes Taoist robes have to be worn, understand?" Xiao Dongshan said: "Oh! ”

The two of them walked around for more than 20 days, hungry and thirsty, sheltered from the rain, sometimes the inn was sharp, sometimes the farmhouse stayed, sometimes the temple sought fate, sometimes the Taoist temple begged for food, Xiao Dongshan did not feel bitter, but talked to the master about trouble, quite a lot. Later, when he met a fellow villager in Fenyi County, Xiao Dongshan wrote a letter to trust him to bring to his younger brother, only to travel abroad, not to go home for the time being, hoping that his younger brother would read more sage books and be more filial to his mother. I thought of Puji Temple asking myself to bring a letter to the sister of the Yuanhuai monk, and now that I am going farther and farther, it is not good for the master to change the course, but fortunately, it is not a big deal, and there is no need to rush.

Strange to say, although the ancient water Taoist people are Taoist people, they seem to be particularly interested in the affairs of monks, but they are inferior to the affairs of Taoist people. All the temples in various places are not missing, and they have to go to investigate, especially when they hear that there are monks with extraordinary appearance or unknown origin, they will definitely want to meet each other, and the more they can't see it, the more interested they will be, and they will never stop if they don't see it. Gradually, Xiao Dongshan became more and more sure that the people of the ancient waterway were looking for immortals, mainly looking for people, looking for a monk.

On this day, the two spent the night in an unbroken temple, before dawn, Xiao Dongshan got up and played in front of the temple with a knife, he put a set of Mingxia knife techniques to make a whirlwind, the ancient waterway people got up and looked at it, nodded first and then shook their heads. Xiao Dongshan stopped and said, "Master! Please advise! Gu Shui Dao said: "Aren't I teaching you every day?" Xiao Dongshan said: "People say that one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father, of course, a father must teach all his skills to his children, and he will not leave a single thing, right?" Master, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head? The ancient waterway man pointed at Xiao Dongshan and said, "Lai! Rely! Rascally! Didn't you say that you are good at studying medicine, I don't care about this knife thing! Xiao Dongshan came up and grabbed the sleeve of the ancient waterway man and said, "Master! Good Master! If nothing else, just tell me why you nodded and shook your head. ”

The ancient waterway people shook off Xiao Dongshan and said, "It's not serious, what a big person!" Nodding your head means that you are playing well with this knife, and shaking your head means that you are strong and breathless! Xiao Dongshan said: "I don't accept this, there is nothing else, there is strength!" Gu Shui Dao said: "Definitely! You are powerful, but you are breathless. Xiao Dongshan's heart itched, and he said, "Master, quickly advise." ”

The ancient waterway people said: "People live in the world, and every breath contains infinite mysteries, but you don't know anything, you only know how much you can do with brute force!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Master teach me!" "Ancient Shui Dao humanitarian: "The so-called martial arts, but to protect oneself and hurt others, what is there to learn, I see that you are kind-hearted, and do not lose wit, but you can seek a fame, you can contribute to the country, and you can benefit the people, isn't it good?" I know some powerful people, and I can recommend them to you, which is far better than wandering rivers and lakes, what do you think? ”

Xiao Dongshan knelt down and said: "Thank you Master for your teachings, it's just that everyone has their own ambitions, and apprentices are good at practicing martial arts, and they don't love fame and fortune." Gu Shuidao said: "This is a bad statement, do you think that seeking fame is for fame and fortune?" If you don't borrow fame and fortune, how can you become righteous! Xiao Dongshan said: "The master said that the great ambition, the apprentice can't turn around for a while, I just ask the master to teach martial arts first!" ”

The ancient waterway people held their hands together, and Xiao Dongshan only felt a strong force coming slowly, and stood up unconsciously. Gu Shui Dao said: "It's okay! You and I have known each other for a month, I like your character very much, you are a good boy, forgive you for learning martial arts will not harm the world. From today on, I will teach you some martial arts, but you can't delay your study of medicine because of martial arts, can you do it? Xiao Dongshan was overjoyed and said, "Disciple understands!" Gu Shui Dao said: "You just used the knife technique, what other weapons do you have, show me." ”

Xiao Dongshan went to the broken temple to find a stick, and Hulala used it, it was a set of Han Tongtong back stick method, the more the ancient waterway people looked at it, the more strange they became, and they couldn't help but applaud in their hearts. Xiao Dongshan finished his work, sweating and panting, and shouted, "Master, can you make it?" The ancient waterway man remained silent and said, "Make! What else will, show me. ”

Xiao Dongshan gave up the stick and played a set of Taizu long punches on the field, only to see that his body was as stable as a mountain, his fist was like thunder, and he was faintly like a great martial arts master. The people of Gu Shuidao were taken aback, and said secretly: "This kid's boxing method is far above me, just in terms of this boxing method, everyone in the martial arts can make it, but those who can play this kind of atmosphere, the whole martial arts are only afraid of ten people, this kid is really a genius!" ”

After Xiao Dongshan finished making the envoy, the ancient waterway man said: "If there is anything else, let me see." ”

Xiao Dongshan went to the temple and broke a branch, removed the leaves, and made a set of Eight Immortal Sword Techniques. Although it is not as shocking as Taizu's long fist, it also has the essence of swordsmanship, but it is slightly lacking in lightness. The ancient waterway people looked at it and nodded again and again.

After Xiao Dongshan finished his work, the ancient water Taoist asked, "Who taught your martial arts?" Xiao Dongshan said: "An uncle, when I was young, lived in my house for a few years, taught me these martial arts, and later died of old age. I learned that set of swordsmanship from the scriptures, and no one taught me. The people of the ancient water road thought: "This is the most fundamental martial arts, this child has not met the guidance of a famous teacher, but he has practiced to such a situation, and his understanding is very extraordinary!" ”

The ancient water road people walked to the field, and according to Xiao Dongshan's knife technique, stick technique, fist technique, and sword technique just now, they each took two moves and compared them, and said: "Your left shoulder is heavy, and you can't receive it; You are steady, but too disciplined; Thou hast a strong waist and abdomen, and thou hast a slight lack of dexterity that empties the flaws on both sides. Xiao Dongshan tried martial arts just now, and he didn't sweat, but he was a little feverish at this time. Gu Shui Dao said: "You have good qualifications, and you are a good material for martial arts." As a teacher, martial arts are low, and you can only get started, and your future achievements will depend on your own creation. The way of martial arts is just the word friend or foe. All the changes you make move are changed with the enemy, you have learned this well, but the way of self-cultivation, has not yet started, from today, I will first teach you a set of methods for practicing qi, this set of methods for practicing qi, the introduction is very simple, but the more you practice, the more difficult it is, it is very dangerous, remember to fight steadily and steadily, not to rush for quick success. ”

Xiao Dongshan said: "I see Master meditating every morning and evening, and I know what internal skills I am practicing, so I will teach it today!" ”

The ancient water Taoist Zhengse said: "Don't interrupt, don't underestimate this method of practicing qi, when you practice to a certain level, you will find that the moves you are making now are all easy." I have a close friend who relied on this method of qi training to cultivate himself and practice an earth-shattering peerless martial art. ”

Xiao Dongshan hurriedly shouted, "Wait, wait! Master, you didn't lie to me, practicing the same internal skills, shouldn't you be a senior brother, how can you say that you are a best friend? Gu Shuidao said: "I'll tell you slowly!" ”

The master and apprentice sat down on the stone bench, only to listen to the ancient waterway: "More than 30 years ago, I was a child less than ten years old as a teacher, because of a coincidence, I lived in a big nobleman's house for a while, there was a fairy, every day to give lectures to this big nobleman, I was a child, and no one cared about me, so I hid outside the window and eavesdropped a few times, talking about governing the country and the country, appointing the virtuous and using the ability, and commanding the army of tigers and wolves to fight on the battlefield...... I was listening to it interestingly, but I was plucked on the ear, and when I looked back, it was a child three or four years older than me, and I recognized it as serving the food and clothing of the nobles...... Boy, I was hurt and began to cry, and when the nobleman found out, not only was he not angry, but he also allowed me to come and listen at any time, but I was not allowed to speak. Once, the gods talked about this set of methods for practicing qi, called Chaoyang Nine Qi Xuangong, saying that practicing can strengthen the body. The great nobleman, the boy who pulled me, and me, all three of them practiced. The great nobleman and I really only practiced to strengthen our bodies, but that boy practiced peerless martial arts...... Our internal strength and mental method, although they are all taught by the gods, but we have not formally worshipped the teacher, I have always called him Brother Ma, not called Senior Brother, I said that it is a close friend, not to say that it is a senior brother, but I am not lying to you! That great nobleman, we can't climb high, but we don't deserve to be called his senior brother. ”

Xiao Dongshan said: "Just rely on this set of internal strength, you can practice 'earth-shattering peerless martial arts', this horse, Ma Shibo is really a strange person." ”

Gu Shui Dao said: "Of course, he is a rare martial arts genius for thousands of years, unlike me who can't learn anything, that immortal saw that I was lost, so he taught me some medical skills...... Fortunately, I didn't let him down, and I finally had a little experience. ”

Xiao Dongshan asked: "I have never seen an immortal, it turns out that the master has seen an immortal, what does a immortal look like?" ”

The ancient waterway said: "What does it look like! The appearance of a monk! ”

Xiao Dongshan said: "Can you fly?" ”

The ancient waterway people raised their hands and struck, saying, "Feifei Fei!" You know how to fly! How do I know if I can fly, and I can't fly to show me! ”

Xiao Dongshan hurriedly dodged the beating, and said, "Master, that immortal is a monk, how did you become a Taoist?" The ancient water Taoist got up and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, next time, go find something to eat first!" ”
