Chapter 56: Three Heroes (2)
Nannan groaned: "Madam, that haha mad sword Xia Daxia, when I followed the old master, I have already seen him once, there is really a person like Xia Daxia on the Xuan Ling, there is no doubt about it, even if the Xuan Ling rumors are not credible, but the old master, want us to escort the young master to learn martial arts, but we can't disbelieve it, if Xia Daxia is not in the valley, with the friendship between the old master and Xia Daxia, how can I not know?"
Bai Gu sighed and said, "What the husband said is also ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of wheels and axles turning, and a door three inches high and one inch wide appeared on the stone wall next to it.
Nannan immediately laughed and said, "Lady, have you seen it?" The stone gate is open, Xia Daxia must be in the valley ......."
At this time, Bai Gu had already pulled the young master and went to the stone gate to drill in, Nannan went back and didn't see the two of them, his voice was lowered, and he immediately bent down and walked into the door.
Looking up, inside the stone gate, there was a broken rock in the middle of the mountain.
Bai Gu and her young master stood on the edge of the rock, staring at a stone tablet.
Nannan asked, "Childe, what is written on the stele?"
He stopped suddenly, raised his face, and shouted, "So, this second step is to gouge out an eye?" "The crooked fingers were like a hook, and then he gouged out his right eye. Suddenly, a scream was stuffed into his ears, and Nannan's right hand couldn't be raised.
But seeing the young master's two little hands, he dragged Nan Nan's right arm desperately, and shouted repeatedly: "Uncle Nan, if you think like this again, I will go down the mountain alone, and I will never see that Xia Daxia again." ”
If the young master refused to see Xia Daxia, even if he lost ten lives, it would be in vain.
Nannan sighed deeply and said, "Childe, you ...... You stopped the old slave, and it really made the old slave sad......"
After seeing her husband's arm, the first portal was opened, and in the next three levels, there was great confidence. As soon as Nannan's voice fell, she also bent down to stroke the young master's frozen red cheeks, and whispered: "Childe, what the uncle said is right, you don't allow him to open the four heavy portals, the uncle is very sad than dead, Childe, you let go!"
The young master stared at him stubbornly and said, "No, I won't let go unless my uncle agrees." ”
Bai Gu smiled sadly and said, "Childe, if you don't let Uncle Nan do this, how can we enter the valley?"
The young master said, "Aunt Bai, let my uncle cut off my arm and gouge out my eyes before I can go to the valley to learn martial arts." Even if you learn martial arts, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”
Bai Gu was stunned when she heard this, and said secretly: "After all, he is still a child, this kind of thinking is just a simple thought, and he can't help it." ”
Nannan may have also heard the meaning of the little master, he didn't seem to want to rely on the help of others, so he was willing to enter the valley, a child who was only twelve or thirteen years old could have such a goal, it was also a gratifying thing, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Young master, the old slave promises you." ”
The young master let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Nan, you are really a good person. I knew you'd agree......"
Nannan smiled bitterly in his heart: "When the old master is still alive, I can't give up my body to defend the old master, the old master is dead, and I can't help the little master learn martial arts, if the good people in the world are like old people, there will be no justice in this world......" He thought about it and felt very regretful, but said: "Childe, although the old slave promised Childe that he would not hurt his body, we can't stay here." We couldn't go back!"
The young master smiled and said, "Uncle Nan, if you do what is written on the stele, will the Four Spirit Valley be under this piece of rubble?"
Nannan said: "Yes, the Valley of the Dead Soul is under the rock to the left of this second gate. ”
"Uncle Nan. The rule says that if you have a physical disability and fall into the deep ravine of the rock on the left, the iron ladder will automatically climb to the rock to pick up the person. In this way, the third level should not be far from here. ”
Bai Gu smiled and said, "Childe, do you want us to go down by ourselves?"
The young master said, "No, Aunt Bai, I'm here to calculate, from here to the bottom, I don't know how high it is?"
Nannan smiled: "The valley is shrouded in clouds all day long, and the bottom of the valley, how high it is, unless, if we go down, I'm afraid we won't be able to see it." ”
Bai Gu said, "Childe, do you want to know what this height does?"
The young master smiled and said, "I think, if it wasn't too high, we would have climbed this broken rock directly and told Xia Daxia in the valley, Xia Daxia would naturally hear it, and he would come up to pick me up." ”
Nannan knew in his heart that this was just a child's idea, but in desperation, he might as well give it a try.
He nodded and said, "Now, let's kneel on the edge of the rock, please give it a try...... "walked to the boulder in a conspicuous place on the left side of the mountain, and knelt down with a reverent expression.
Bai Gu pulled the young master over as well, but first looked at the floating clouds tumbling and dancing in the deep valley, and knelt down on the stone.
Nannan opened his voice and shouted under the rock: "Old slave Nannan, please see Xia Daxia." ”
After saying that, the three of them bowed to the valley three times at the same time.
But the echo lasted for a long time.
The three of them waited for a long time, but they didn't hear any movement at the bottom of the valley.
Nannan's thick eyebrows moved, and he shouted loudly to the valley: "Xia Daxia, the old slave Nannan asks to see you." ”
At this time, Bai Gu also shouted loudly to the bottom of the valley: "Xia Daxia, the maid is the personal maid of the old master's wife, the lady died of illness in her early years, and the little master has been growing up with the servant, and now the old master was framed and killed by a conspiracy, leaving the little master lonely and helpless, very pitiful...... Your old man is the master's best friend, you can't see the lonely son of the best friend being chased by a powerful enemy, there is no place to hide. In addition, the old master's blood feud is difficult to avenge. The thief who killed the old master is extremely skilled, if you are unrighteous and lend a hand, not only will the incense of that family be difficult to keep, but the old master's blood and hatred will not be able to be avenged......" When it comes to sadness, crying and crying does not stop.
But they cried out over the rock. In the deep valley there was no sound, as if there was no one at all.
It was already past the afternoon, Nannan was already a little impatient, turned to the young master and said, "Son, according to the old slave's opinion, it is still ...... Let me gouge out an eye!Xia Daxia hasn't answered for a long time, he shouldn't allow anyone to violate the ban. ”
The young master knelt down in pain, but instead of letting the old servant gouge out his eyes, he stretched out his little hand, which was purple from the cold. He said, "Uncle, if you mention this ban again, I will never see this person again." ”
Nannan was really frightened by his words, lowered his head and sighed: "Childe, the old slave doesn't dare to mention it." ”
The young master stretched out his little hand, sighed and said, "Uncle Nan, how long have we been kneeling?"
Nannan looked at the cloudy sky the size of an acre, surrounded by mountains, and whispered, "About two hours." ”
The young master suddenly said coldly, "It's still early!"
Nan Nan Yi Zheng said: "It's still early, son, you ......"
The young master said, "Uncle Nan, have you heard the story of Lao Huike, the second master of Shaolin?"
Nannan shook his head: "The old master hasn't said it to the old slave yet. ”
The young master said, "Daddy told me. ”
Nannan thought to himself, does this have anything to do with us kneeling here? But he opened his mouth and said, "Childe, what did the master say?"
The young master said, "Dad told me this story to make me understand that if a person wants to learn worldly martial arts well, he must endure all kinds of torture in order to worship and respect his teacher. Uncle Nan, do you know that the old monk Hui Ke is the first disciple of Venerable Bodhidharma after he crossed to the east?"
Nannan said: "This old slave has heard of it. ”
The young master said, "Master Hui Ke's original name is Shenguang. After the age of forty, he went to see the master Bodhidharma......"
Bai Gu suddenly smiled and said, "Son, the maid has heard what Mrs. said." ”
The young master said happily: "Aunt Bai, did my mother also say it?"
Bai Gu said, "If the master didn't tell me, how would I know?"
The young master said, "When Dad told me, I was already ten years old! Aunt Bai, you also know about this, so tell Uncle Nan!"
Bai Gu said: "Obey." After a pause, he whispered: "Monk Hui Ke is a very wise man, he asked to see the Bodhidharma Patriarch, but found that the Bodhidharma Patriarch ignored him, he chose a winter night, until the snow overflowed his knees, and broke his left arm with a sharp blade...... Childe, what the old man said is not wrong, right?"
The young master said, "Aunt Bai is right, and Dad is right. ”
After Nannan listened to the story, he understood a little in his heart, the young master's voice lowered, and he couldn't help asking: "Childe, you suddenly mentioned the story of these two sages, but you want to learn from that Master Huike?"
The young master said, "Uncle, I just want to ...... If we are willing to kneel here all night, Xia Daxia will definitely come out of the valley to pick us up......"
Nan Nan looked at him with a sincere look on his face, since it was inconvenient to pour cold water again, he secretly said in his heart: Kneel in the night and try! If Xia Daxia doesn't come tomorrow, I have to fight to the death and go in alone first. Nannan thought for a while, laughed, and said, "Childe's respect for his teacher is not lower than that of the ancients, this is conceivable. So Xia Daxia will definitely be moved by your filial piety and go out of the valley to pick up your son. ”
At this time, Bai Gu opened her baggage, took out dry food, and the three of them ate a little casually, and their six eyes were fixed on the valley, kneeling on the rocks, not moving at all. When night falls, the weather seems to be deliberately making Nannan couple and Childe unhappy.
The wind blew hard and the snow fell heavily. After a while, the snow was accumulating.
Nannan and Baigu couple, the martial arts are almost cold and hot, but at the moment kneeling in the snow, but still feel cold, how old is the young master, Hugh said that he learned some martial arts in the past, which is enough to keep out the cold, even if his martial arts skills are higher than the old servant couple, but his cultivation is still far from the situation of cold and heat!
Therefore, at this time, the young master was shivering with cold, and his little teeth kept knocking. However, he was very patient and did not let the two old servants around him find him.
Bai Gu asked him almost every once in a while if he was cold, and the young master said two words: "Not cold".
The young master knew that if he said two more words, the two righteous servants would definitely recognize him and freeze!
This night is really longer than ten years.
After a long ordeal, he finally survived until the east was pale.
The first thing Bai Gu did was to grab the young master's little hand and pass on her physical strength to her little master.
I learned that the young master was still kneeling on the stone, but he had actually been frozen and unconscious.
By this time, Nannan had already used the power of his split palm to shovel a foot of snow outside the three of them.
He looked back at the young master, stretched out one arm, held the young master's right hand, and transmitted the inner strength to him.
Even after their best efforts, the young master finally gasped slowly.
Nannan sighed and said, "Childe, you have suffered!"
The young master drove away the cold after the internal force of the two people, although his legs were still stiff and painful, his spirit was clear, his spirit cheered up, and he smiled softly: "Uncle Nan, Aunt Bai, thank you for saving me......" After thinking for a long time, he looked down at the valley with his little eyes.
Then he said, "Did Xia Daxia come out?"
Nannan hung his head and sighed: "No!"
The young master said with a suspicious face, "Wrong?"
Bai Gu whispered: "Childe, take a breath, otherwise your leg will hurt." About Xia Daxia, we'll talk about it later!"
The young master shook his head and said, "No, Aunt Bai, we knelt all night just to see Xia Daxia." It's already dawn, but Xia Daxia hasn't appeared yet. I'm afraid something went wrong with this. ”
When Nannan heard this, he secretly said in his heart: That young master really believes that the Bodhidharma Patriarch saw that Hui Ke waited all night before teaching the mantle...... Nannan immediately lowered his head and thought about it, Nannan thought in his heart, and finally let him come up with the most stupid way: "Child." The old slave smiled slightly and said, "The old slave thinks that Xia Daxia hasn't heard our cries for a long time. He must have thought we were gone. How about the old slave shouting a few more times?"
The young master stayed for a while and said, "Uncle Nan, do you really want to shout at Xia Daxia so that he knows that we haven't left yet?" Obviously, the young master seemed to be a little disappointed in Xia Daxia, according to his original thoughts, Xia Daxia should know that they haven't left yet!
Nannan said: "Although Xia Daxia's martial arts skills are unattainable, the old slave knows that he does not have the ability to predict prophets. ”
The young master straightened up and said, "Uncle Nan, you can call a few more times and try it!"
Nannan secretly took a deep breath, said to the rock, and shouted in the deep valley: "Xia Daxia, the old slave and the young master have been kneeling on the rock for a day and a night, except for breathing, his body, clothes and shoes have become ice and snow, if you don't allow the young master to enter the valley, ah...... Poor old master, he died a terrible death, fought bravely, helped the poor, and in the end not only his own body was plotted to die, but even his only flesh and blood could not be saved. How can you sit idly by?"
When he spoke of grief, his voice became hoarse.
Bai Gu couldn't cry anymore.
The young master trembled, and two popsicles of tears hung from his cheeks.
However, Death Valley still hasn't heard back.
However, the clouds rolled, the wind blew low, and the snowflakes melted silently in the valley.
I don't know how long time has passed, the three people kneeling on the rock have been crying silently, and that kind of desperate sadness has made the old servant Nannan and Baigu and his wife, no one dare to speak anymore.
Suddenly, the young master actually sighed and asked Nan Nan: "Uncle Nan, is it true that my enemy's martial arts can be defeated by no one except Xia Daxia?"
Nannan was suddenly asked such a question by him, and he was a little dizzy and should say: "Yes, except for Xia Daxia, this old slave really can't think of anyone else who can win the old master." ”
The young master blinked his eyes again and said, "Uncle Nan, Xia Daxia won't let me enter the valley, won't I pass on my martial arts, even if I worship another hero, can't I defeat the enemy?"
Nannan sighed: "If it weren't for this, the old master would not have let the old slave couple escort the son here to suffer." ”
The young master nodded and said, "Then worship Xia Daxia as a teacher." ”
Nannan Road: "Not bad......"
Bai Gu suddenly said: "Childe, why do you ask this? That Xia Daxia has a deep friendship with his old master, and he will definitely allow Childe to enter the valley ......."
The young master suddenly smiled and said, "Aunt Bai, my nephew has already figured it out. If he would have taken me as a disciple, he would have come out long ago. ”
Nannan's personality is honest and straightforward, and he suddenly cried out loud: "Yes, if Xia Daxia still remembers the friendship of the old master, he should stand up, we have been begging for so long, and he hasn't come out yet, I'm just afraid of ......"
Bai Gu frowned and shouted: "Husband, don't speculate, Xia Daxia's generation of strange people can't allow you to slander like this." ”
Nan Nan quickly changed his statement and said, "What you are scolding is, how can Xia Daxia be a cowardly and fearful person?"
Bai Gu glared at him fiercely, and whispered to the master: "Childe, the old man is worried about Xia Daxia Valley. ”
The young master shook his head and said, "Aunt Bai, my nephew knows that Xia Daxia must still be in the valley. ”
Nannan then said: "The old slave thinks so too......
Bai Gu was really anxious to bite you, and shouted, "You speak well!"
Nannan was stopped by her and said, "Niang'er, did I say something wrong?"
Bai Gu ignored Nannan and whispered to the young master: "Childe, how do you know that Xia Daxia is still in the valley?"
It turned out that Bai Gu was actually a woman, on the one hand, more cautious, on the other hand, she also better understood the personality of the master, when the young master suddenly asked Xuan Lingshang, except for Xia Daxia, who could be the enemy's opponent, she felt that something was a little wrong, and quickly led away, but the young master replied with a smile, saying that he had thought that Xia Daxia was refusing to accept apprentices, and she felt even more uncomfortable, so he deliberately said that Xia Daxia was not in the valley, and even did not allow Nannan to open his mouth to investigate his intentions, but once he was afraid, the little master was discouraged, and he couldn't see Xia Daxia today, and he would see him one day。
Bai Gu thought it was right, but how could she expect that in the major events in the world, there would be eight or nine things that could not be wishful?
After she finished speaking, the young master had already pointed to Nannan's broken arm and said, "If Xia Daxia is not in the valley, how can uncle's broken arm open the first stone door?"
Bai Gu took a sign and said secretly: "This kid is too smart......"
"Childe, maybe there's someone else in the valley who is manipulating the mechanism. ”
The young master said: "Aunt Bai's idea is what I thought before dawn, but after dawn, Uncle Nan shouted, still no response, obviously Xia Daxia himself decided not to come to see me, and no one answered, so, I finally understood that Xia Daxia did not allow me to enter the valley." ”
Bai Gu was taken aback and said, "Childe, why do you think like this? Xia Daxia gets along well with the old master and will not deliberately reject your ......"
The young master didn't wait for Bai Gu to finish speaking, and suddenly laughed.
