Humble apprentices

The rivers and lakes are big, ancient and modern, and everything is like the sand of the Ganges. Everything can tell one or two, and there are only three people in today's martial arts. The first is the cult ghost judge who abducts Liu; the second is Bai Xiaosheng, who is not evil and not right; and the third is Wang Meng, the scholar and prisoner of the head of the sect.

Wang Meng, a book prisoner, came from the Taiyuan Wang family. His father admired the idyllic poets Wang Wei and Meng Haoran's indifference and seclusion, so he named his youngest son Wang Meng. It's a pity that this son was born reckless, and he couldn't speak at the age of two or three, his eyebrows were dull, and his heart was clumsy. Who would have thought that in the future, this son would shock the martial arts with his talent.

Although Wang Meng was demented, his father Wang Jinxu was not worried. Wang Jinxu was already very happy to have this son at the age of fifty-five, and Wang Meng also had two brothers and two sisters. No matter the incense and family business, you don't have to worry about it, if Wang enters the Xu for a hundred years, there are still brothers and sisters to take care of the fool, and there is no worries.

These words were all said by Wang Zhuxu to his own family and outsiders, in fact, he didn't want Wenqu Xing to go down to his family and glorify the lintel of the Wang family in Taiyuan; he didn't want the back waves of the Yangtze River to push the front waves, and the tiger father had no dogs. But... But...

After another year or two, the Wang family held a birthday banquet, the whole house was lit up and down, and the children and beggars in the city begged for the birthday bag. The banquet invited, congratulatory are all local celebrities, such as the Kongwen host of Guanshan Temple, the head of Suiyun Peak Bai Yun, the richest man in Taiyuan, Liu Dafu, the chief of Taiyuan County, and other celebrities in the literary world. The monks of Wutai Mountain and the masters of Wanfeng Dart Bureau also came. These two are inextricably linked to the Wang family.

On the night of the birthday banquet, the children and grandchildren gave tea to the elders. Wang Jinxu took the hand of the child Wang Meng and came to the front of Daoist Bai Yun and taught him to make tea. Bai Yundao said he liked it for a long time, took the tea and took the tea. Take a few sips and put the teacup down. took Wang Meng's hand and looked at it. Then he asked him to sit on his lap and said, "The virtuous nephew has a wide forehead, and Yin Tang Liang is a blessed appearance; ”

Wang Jinxu was very happy to hear this, Bai Yun Daoist is a figure who can pinch and calculate, and he is good at touching his bones and looking at his face, they are friends and in front of all the guests, red lips and white teeth will not lie.

The lights went out, and the banquet stopped. Wang Jinxu was also drunk and tired, and just wanted to go back to the room to rest, when suddenly the doorman sent a note, saying that it was left by Bai Yun when he left, and that he could only hand it over to your master after the guests left. Wang Ruxu couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, drunk and tired, and surprised in his heart, I have known Bai Yundao for thirty or forty years, what else can't I say in front of me! Could it be that something unspeakable happened in the mansion?

In his thoughts, Wang Ruxu opened the note and wrote:

Virtuous brother, I really don't hide from each other, I look at the face of the little virtuous nephew, but it is a blessing and longevity; touch his bones, it is also a handsome material; look at the palmistry, the hand patterns are staggered and rugged, and the life is bumpy, but there are always nobles to help each other, and every evil turns into auspiciousness, all of which are auspicious people. But I heard that the virtuous nephew has been stupider than ordinary people since he was born, and he is still slurred at the age of four or five, not crying or laughing, which is contrary to numerology. As the days go by, I am afraid of hurting the Wang family's century-old Wenchang fortune, which day it will be fulfilled to send me to see the place, and the foolish brother will open the mind for it, and guide the fortune for the Taiyuan Wang.

Wang Ruxu thought about it again and again and stayed awake all night, and after weighing it, he chose to send the child to Suiyunfeng to learn art, just to say to the outside world, Suiyunfeng Xianjia Dojo, the aura is compelling, the outstanding people are spiritual, and the bamboo spring is sweet and watery, it is a place for self-cultivation, and the child is sent here, one is to let the child cultivate sentiment, the second is to increase the aura of Jiao'er, and the third is to follow the Yunfeng Tianshui view of Tai Chi Sword, so that Jiao'er can enhance his physique here, and get rid of weakness.

The palace is more than 80 miles away from Suiyun Peak, and it will arrive in two or three days. Waiting for Wang Jinxu to get out of the carriage with the little child Wang Meng, the servants behind him followed with gift boxes, incense candles, and silk. They climbed the stairs, the ancient trees on both sides of the road were towering and lush, and the cunning rabbits, spirit animals, colorful birds and birds were not afraid of the living. Wang Ruxu has a lot of thoughts, he traveled through the rivers and lakes in the year of wearing a crown, and he also devoted himself to the Tao and pursued the way of immortal immortality, but after all, he is the eldest son of the family, and sooner or later he will inherit the family business and become the patriarch. also accepted his heart, he met Bai Yun Daoist at that time, fell in love with each other at first sight, and became a good friend.

After a cup of tea, the group finally came to the Tianshui Temple. The clouds and mist are shrouded, and there is a tendency to catch the sky. If you haven't stepped into the temple, you can smell the fragrance of sandalwood. The door is wide open, the stone lions on both sides guard the road, the stone slab ground is spotless, it is late autumn, but the willow leaves and poplar leaves on the mountain are not a piece, this is Bai Yun Dao long counting the time, waiting for the old friends to visit.

There is no need to pass the word, the Taoist boy waited in front of the gate, made a bow, and invited everyone to the main hall to eat tea. Wang Jinxu returned the salute, asked the family to hand over the gifts, and then waited in the gatehouse.

Take the little second-hand and enter the main hall. Tianshui Temple is indeed the first Taoist fairy field in the county, not to mention that there are four or five acres of land in the outer dojo and dormitory, and this treasure hall alone can also accommodate more than a dozen households in the courtyard of ordinary people's houses. Wang Ruxu naturally doesn't mind when he comes often, but Wang Meng comes for the first time and has never been out of the house, so he was stunned when he saw it. In particular, the Sanqing enshrined in the main hall is sitting majestic, although it is a mud embryo, it has been offered here for a long time, and there is a fairy bone spirit. It's just that the sun has just come out, and there are already a lot of pilgrims, and the peak of incense on weekdays can be seen.

After a while, Bai Yun Dao Chang came slowly, as if he was coming by a gentle breeze. After a few words of greeting with Brother Wang, he took the two of them to his Taoist room, sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals, Bai Yun got up and poured tea, picked up the pastries on the plate and handed them to Wang Meng to eat. Needless to say, you want to stay and stay. Before leaving, Bai Yun took Wang Meng to send Brother Wang down the mountain, Wang Meng was sad, and he also wanted to go home with his father, babbling, but in the end he didn't say it, and his eyes full of pain didn't leave a tear in the end. In this way, Wang Jinxu left, the slightly decadent back is his decisiveness and reluctance, and he fully believes in his old friend - Bai Yun Daochang, for his son's future.

The two watched his back, which grew smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller until it disappeared into the dazzling light of the east. When the clouds and mist dispersed, I saw the appearance of the Taoist temple, but I could not see its whole picture. Red walls and tiles, gray ground and blue sky, with a slight colored light above the roof. View, facing east to west, the door is the axis, and the whole view is symmetrical from north to south. There are a number of ear rooms on both sides of the courtyard in the east-west direction, not as grand as the main hall, but it is also several times stronger to go up the mountain and down the residential houses, it is the front hall that is facing the door, and there is a big hall behind the front hall, the terrain is higher than the front hall, and it is necessary to climb the steps again. There may be a house in the back, or maybe there will be none.

Bai Yun didn't take Wang Meng to take a good visit, maybe he felt that he was not in a hurry to come to Japan.

Daoist Bai Yun asked his third apprentice, Yixian, to take him to bathe, take off his vulgar clothes and change into Taoist robes. After everything was done, he gave Yixian a prescription and ordered him to go to the Guannei Pharmacy to catch the medicine and boil the medicine. He took Wang Meng's pulse and asked about it. The prescription was left by Wang Jinxu when he left, and it was written that Wang Meng took the commonly used medicines at home, mainly Qin bark, menthol, pig gallbladder and other open-minded medicines. It is a Taoist half of the doctor, Taoism pays attention to health maintenance, and collects the aura of heaven and earth to continue life. He is also proficient in medical skills. Daoist Bai Yun looked at this Zhang Ming prescription, and there was nothing wrong with Wang Meng's symptoms, but this child didn't get better after four or five years of eating? Let Wang Meng take this medicine like this first.

What kind of medicine? Cheesy name, but the medicinal effect is really good, it is a good product for the brain, and improving memory can be regarded as a incidental function. This decoction has the best sales in the autumn scientific examination in the past years, because its effect is undoubtedly the best, and it is also a must-have product for the exam.

I heard that Su Laoquan, who was only studying hard at the age of twenty-seven, was able to drink this decoction every day to have divine help in the scientific examination, and achieved "a father and son with three words, and four masters of eternal articles." Story.

This kind of elixir is sold in all the larger sects, but the price is very expensive, a teacup of decoction to a pearl can be equivalent, even Buddhism such a four empty pure land, if you add sesame oil money is not enough, do not want to smell the taste, take a look at the soup.

For outsiders, this decoction is very expensive, but in Bai Yun Dao Chang looks very poor, not that Bai Yun Dao Chang regards money as dung, but there are many medicinal materials for making Mingshen San on the back mountain of Suiyun Peak, but they all grow on the cliffs, and they are not easy to be collected.

Three years have passed, and the decoction that has been drunk must be no less than the water in the ink pool where Wang Xizhi washed the brush. The effect is very obvious, and the eight-year-old Wang Meng is simply like a monkey.

Bai Yun Dao Chang is willing to put such a huge amount of blood on Wang Meng's body, and he still takes a fancy to Wang Meng's extraordinaryness, and he will definitely be able to shine with Suiyun Peak in the future and shock the world. For both public and private reasons, Daoist Bai Yun believed that Wang Meng could become his successor. At that time, Wang Meng was only eight years old, and he was eight years old.

But Wang Meng's father, Wang Jinxu, suddenly wanted to return home with his youngest son one day. He is not a person who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, and when he sees that his son is smart and clever, he forgets the kindness of Bai Yun Daoist at the beginning. But at this time, Wang Meng's mother was still terminally ill, and everyone in the family was in a mess, some ran in and out to take care of it, and some were preparing for his wife's funeral.

If it weren't for the last resort, Wang Ruxu wouldn't have gone up the mountain to pick him up and down the mountain so abruptly, if it weren't for the fact that only he and Daoist Bai Yun could suppress Wang Meng in this world, Wang Ruxu wouldn't have to go up the mountain in person, just send a letter to the family.

If he really wrote a letter, Wang Meng would have delayed even more on the road, not because he was so unfilial at a young age, but because he was already quite cautious in doing things at a young age-considering whether the person who came was a liar or not, whether he was abducting and selling children......
