Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall.

Cao Renwei and He Yijin sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals Table in the hall on the left and right.

Two disciples knelt in front of him, and after kowtowing respectfully three times, they picked up the tea bowl handed over by others, raised their eyebrows, and shouted,

"Master, please have tea. ”

The two of them took the tea bowl that the disciple had brought over, took a sip, put it on the table, and then got up, picked up the disciple, and let him stand in front of him.

Cao Renwei said,

"Today, my brother and I like to receive disciples, as the saying goes, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, you two have worshiped me and my brother, I hope to be more diligent in the future, remember to respect the teacher. ”

After speaking, he nodded at He Yijin,

He Yijin was helpless, let you speak first, what else can I say! He put his hands behind his back, held his head high, looked at the disciple standing in front of him who was about the same height as himself, coughed lightly, and said,

"Follow Master and work hard, and you will be able to eat well in the future. ”

With a dry laugh, he continued,

"I'm a rough person, I can't say anything in a crepe, but my words are not rough, Master won't treat you badly, stand by Master's side. ”

The two disciples stood beside Cao Renwei and He Yijin.

At this time, Cao Renwei clenched his fists at the crowd of people watching the ceremony,

"Thank you for coming to watch the ceremony, we have prepared a thin wine, please take a seat, and everyone will have a good time. ”

The news that the Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall was recruiting descendants for several days was released, and the disciples in the martial arts hall seemed to be completely ignorant, and no family elders came to inquire about it.

The two of them didn't like it in their hearts, but they couldn't say it clearly, so they simply chose someone directly, and selected one person from the martial arts hall to be their successor.

The disciple chosen by Cao Renwei was named Li Desheng, and he gave him the name Li Zhongsheng.

And the disciple selected by He Yijin, whose real name is Qian Duozheng, was given the name Qian Xiaozheng.

The disciple who has changed his name to Li Zhongsheng is eleven years old, and he has been in the martial arts hall for less than half a year, and he is the first batch of new disciples after the Jin Wei martial arts hall has established its own door.

Outside the city, relying on the savings of his ancestors, the Li family now has dozens of acres of fertile land, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but compared with the rich merchants in the city, it is just that the family has surplus food, so Li's father thought that the children in the family could be more promising, so he sent him to the city to study.

But the children who grew up in the fields outside the city, where are they willing to read and write with Mr. Gakujuku, they are more interested in riding branches as horses and dancing straw sticks as weapons to fight and kill children with a group of children.

didn't resist his son, who had been crying in front of the academy for a long time, and Father Li sent the money he had prepared to study at Nanli Academy to the Jinwei Martial Arts Hall as tuition.

At that time, it happened that not long after the opening of the Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall, this Li Zhongsheng's father inquired that the tuition fee of the Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall was two percent cheaper than that of the Nayun De Martial Arts Hall, so he led the child to the Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall.

His father understood very well that these two pavilions were mainly not going out of the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, and they were still the head of the bishops.

Qian Xiaozheng is more than half a year younger than Li Zhongsheng, and he is also a disciple recruited in the same batch as him.

His family opened a teahouse, and his family was richer than Li Zhongsheng's family.

To say that he came to practice martial arts, he still has something to do with his grandfather.

His grandfather is the old shopkeeper of the teahouse, and he has been in the tea business for most of his life, and it is not easy to develop into such a field today.

What's more, it took half of his life to lose a smile in exchange for the family's livelihood.

His father's personality is like his father and he is cautious.

Then again, doing this business, isn't it just making money with a smile, it's just too much wrongdoing, grievance tears, hiding in a place where no one can see it, enduring it, sucking, and tasting it.

Later, his grandfather and his father summed up, and his little cub could no longer behave like this, so he thought about learning some martial arts, and his waist was erect.

Cao Renwei and He Yijin often go to the teahouse to drink tea, and the old shopkeeper of the teahouse looked at the arrogance of the two, so he sent his grandson to the Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall.

In fact, the disciples don't understand very well, and they didn't say anything when they went home to learn from their parents, but they learned a lot and were able to teach others kung fu in the future.

The point is that I didn't say whether I should spend money to learn those skills anymore.

Therefore, the Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall's recruitment of descendants and disciples was not as lively as the two imagined.

When Cao Renwei found Li Zhongsheng's father and mother, he said to the two of them, your family is good, you have a good child, the child has good roots, he is a good seedling who practices martial arts, and wants to accept him as a disciple Yunyun.

The owner of the museum came to visit in person, and the old Li family's father and mother rubbed their hands and laughed, and they didn't know what to say.

Cao Renwei looked at it and simply said directly, the disciple of the heirloom is equivalent to half of his son, and he does not charge money for martial arts, and he has learned more skills.

However, after Yicheng, he had to stay in the martial arts hall for a few years to help teach his disciples, but he didn't do it in vain.

After speaking, he also said, look at me, can't you open a martial arts gym by yourself? In the future, your children will be able to open it if they want to.

When Li Zhongsheng's father and mother heard this, they even saved their tuition, their eyebrows should be happy, and the fields at home can't be given to outsiders, and their son will open a martial arts gym in the future, and it's beautiful to think about.

Li Zhongsheng and his father stammered, and he wanted to learn how to talk about dogs, but he said a little embarrassed, then thank you to the owner of the hall for the dog baby in my family.

Mother Li on the side also said, the owner of the hall is such a big person, and he also came to the house in person, and sent someone to call it, let's go to the martial arts hall.

Father Li on the side said, yes.

Mother Li said, the owner came suddenly, I didn't have time to prepare, I made some common meals for a while, and I hope that the owner of the hall will not dislike it, stay and drink two cups, Father Li on the side nodded and said, That's it.

Mother Li glared at him, he smiled dryly, and did not squeak.

Cao Renwei couldn't eat at his house, so he told him to hold the apprenticeship ceremony for a while, and then he took his leave.

After the owner left, Mother Li scolded,

"You're a thing, won't you say anything about staying at the museum owner for dinner? I also thought about asking, since the museum owner said that he would not charge tuition, can we return the money we paid before?"

Father Li grinned dryly, thought for a while, and then said,

"Our Shengwa'er is a great disciple of the mountain, so why don't we give some gifts to show it? At this time, you ask for that money, don't you make our Shengwa'er unpleasant to the master? Let's not squeak, doesn't that mean that we have given the tuition fee as our apprenticeship?

When Mother Li heard this, it seemed to make sense, she glanced at Father Li and scolded,

"What's the matter? What's wrong with the woman? You still dislike me? It wasn't who was last night? ”

Father Li smirked, reached out and grabbed his crotch, sang a little song, and went out to drink.

I thought to myself, I didn't see your belly pocket open last night.

The teahouse where He Yijin went.

The old shopkeeper of the teahouse personally made a pot of good tea for the owner of the He Pavilion, sat down, put his hands between his legs, folded his shoulders and arched his back, and asked with a smile,

"What is the hall master, but my kid caused trouble in the martial arts hall?"

He Yijin enjoyed the title of hall owner very much, he smiled,

"The old shopkeeper is worried, Duo Zheng, this kid is very sensible, and I like it very much, since he came to the martial arts hall, I checked carefully and found that he is a good seedling. ”

After taking a sip of tea, he nodded again and said,

"Well, it's a good seedling for martial arts. ”

When he heard that his baby was good, the old shopkeeper smiled happily, and his white beard trembled slightly. He asked,

"It seems that I sent him to practice martial arts or sent it right, so why does the owner of the pavilion have time to come to Xiao Lao'er for tea today?"

The habits of frequent customers, the old shopkeeper has a clear door in his heart, when the guests come, who they come with, what kind of tea they call, and how many times they add water, he remembers it clearly.

At this hour, it is not the master of He Pavilion to drink tea.

He Yijin thought to himself, he had said everything so clearly, why didn't the old shopkeeper talk?

"Dare to ask the old shopkeeper, did Zheng'er mention a major event in our martial arts hall when he returned home a few days ago?"

When the money shopkeeper heard this, he thought for a moment, and then said,

"Didn't you hear him say anything?

The old shopkeeper was already thinking about whether to prepare some good tea.

The matter of inheriting the heirs really made Qian Duozheng forget about this child, he had only been in the martial arts hall for a long time, and he had only practiced some basic skills all day long, so he didn't think it was very interesting. At the end of the day, I was busy playing with my friends.

He Yijin explained the intention, and the old shopkeeper was very excited, and promised again and again, saying that the Qian family is blessed, and the children and grandchildren can get ahead.

When He Yijin left the teahouse, he carried two packets of good new tea.

This disciple of his own received quite a good amount.

The wine table was staggered, and Cao and He were a little proud.

No one from the Yunde Martial Arts Hall came to watch the ceremony, but Cheng Yunde still sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

It's just that if this Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall wants to grow, there are still two points missing.

The first is to have a relationship with the southern army of that town.

To say that Cao and He are also quite familiar with Lu Yiping's guards, but since the two of them set up a separate door, when they went to visit again, they were closed.

The two of them were resentful in their hearts, the old man said it nicely, but when he started to do things, he was not so ruthless? If it weren't for him, how could the Zhennan Army be like this?

The second is that there is a shortage of people in the two-person martial arts hall and a lack of martial artists.

Now that martial arts are prevalent, there are more and more disciples practicing martial arts, and the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion itself can't eat it. Now Jin Wei Martial Arts Hall is still supported by the two of them.

If someone pays for it again, they don't dare to accept it.

The scenery on the face, then let's talk about the scenery first.

At this time, someone came to report that the Zhennan Army had come to congratulate them.

————————————————

The temple was built in imitation of the White Horse Temple in Luoyue City.

After entering the mountain gate, there is the Hall of the Heavenly King.

Passing through the Tianwang Palace, it is the main hall of the Liberation Temple, the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Kongwen didn't say anything all the way, leading Huo Qiji to the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

In the middle of the main hall are enshrined three large Buddhas. In the center is the golden statue of the Buddha Shakyamuni, on the left is the Medicine Buddha of the Eastern Glass World, and on the right is the Amitabha Buddha of the Western Elysium.

Although he is not a person who believes in Buddhism, Huo Qiji still stood in front of the Buddha, bowed three times, and put on three incense sticks.

After the incense, the two stood in the main hall and waited for the abbot.

After a moment,

The robed Master of Liberation walked out of the back of the hall, followed by the little novice of Wu Wang.

Huo Qiji stepped forward and saluted,

"Xuanyi Sect Huo Qiji, I have seen the abbot master. ”

After looking at one or two, Master Shihuai sang the Buddha's horn and saluted,

"I haven't seen it for many years, but the demeanor of the layman is still the same. ”

"The master praised it falsely, the younger generation was abrupt, he didn't report his real name, and he was so tired that the little master ran for nothing, and I hope the master will forgive me. ”

Master Shi Huai shook his head, and then said,

"Is it the old man who seeks to be pure, neglects the layman, and almost snubs the deceased, and says goodbye to Ling Zun back then, but he hasn't seen him for many years, during which he just exchanged letters, and the layman came from afar, but there is something wrong with Xuanyimen?"

Huo Qiji's positive color road,

"Disturb the master Qingxiu, the younger generation's fault, the younger generation came this time, and there is indeed something to ask the abbot master for advice. ”

Master Relief said,

"The layman also asked me to come to the meditation room for a while. ”

Turning to Gogo, he said,

"Wu Forget, go and invite Master Shi to my meditation room. ”

The little novice said yes and turned around and went to the Hall of Discipline.

Master Shakti is a teacher who once held the chief chair of the warrior monks and now serves as the elder of the Vinaya Hall.

In the meditation room, the incense burner rises with green smoke, which is the best agarwood.

The four of them sat cross-legged on the futon, and Huo Qiji faced the three senior monks of Shikong Temple.

There are two masters of Shikong Temple in Xiliang Wangfu, but I don't know which monk it is, Huo Qiji didn't beat around the bush, got straight to the point, and asked the abbot why he did this?

You must know that this Liangzhou is a person who holds the banner of rebellion on the surface.

The master of interpretation on the side listened to Huo Qiji's words, and snorted coldly,

"Xuanyimen's hand is too long, we respect you Xuanyimen is the head of the nine major factions, but your Xuanyimen is Xuanyimen, but you can't control the affairs of my Shikong Temple. ”

Huo Qiji was not angry, it was indeed that he asked a little abruptly, and this move was indeed inappropriate.

Master Abbot Shi Huai looked at the Dharma and then said,

"Nan Wu, drink Luo Hengna, Doro Yeye. After many years of chanting, hasn't the heart of the junior brother calmed down?"

Looking back at Huo Qiji, reciting the Buddha's name, Master Shihuai spoke,

"Senior brother is rude, the layman forgives me, I don't know what the layman asked, was it asked by Xuanyimen, or?"

Huo Qiji replied,

"The younger generation has been traveling abroad for many years, and has not yet returned to the division, this time passing by Liangzhou, hearing about this, is to take this opportunity to visit your temple, by the way. This move of the junior is not a matter of the Xuanyi Sect, if the master is inconvenient to say more, please ignore the rudeness of the junior. ”

On the side, the Dharma Master spoke,

"When the Buddha has angry eyes, the appropriate old man has committed the precept of anger, and more senior brothers remind him, and the layman forgive me. ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and meditated.

Huo Qiji didn't care, with his personal identity, he really didn't deserve such a solemn treatment from Shikong Temple.

Master Shi Huai said at this time,

"I wonder if the layman has heard of an organization called the Deer Cutting Building that is circulating in the rivers and lakes?"

Huo Qiji nodded and said,

"I've heard it, I don't know when it will rise, my father has news that has made me pay attention to one or two, but this deer cutting building is very mysterious, and the younger generation is currently clueless. ”

The master nodded and continued,

"This organization is very mysterious, we got the news about the deer cutting building is also passed on by your faction, several major factions are in unison, in the states to find out about the news about the deer cutting building, but nothing is found. As for the fact that we sent people to the palace to protect him, it was naturally to protect the safety of King Xiliang. Presumably the layman also heard about the assassination of King Lu of Qingzhou, if the king of Xiliang is assassinated, it will be difficult for my Liangzhou to keep it from chaos, but it will be the ordinary people who will suffer. ”

Huo Qiji nodded, and then said,

"The master is merciful and cares about the common people, but the younger generation is too worried, and the younger generation will not bother the master Qingxiu, so he will leave. ”

With that, he stood up and saluted.

Then he remembered the little novice, and asked,

"May I ask Master Shihuai, which master did the little master named Wu Forget study from?"

Master Shihuai, who had just gotten up and was about to send off the guests, was stunned for a moment, and said,

"Wu Forget has only been on the mountain for half a year, and he has not yet apprenticed, why did the layman come here to ask?"

Huo Qiji groaned slightly, and said,

"The younger generation has a reluctant request, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"There is a lack of a disciple in front of the younger generation, and when I saw the little master Wu Wang, I was delighted, since the little master Wu Wu has not yet apprenticed, so I want to accept him as an apprentice, and I hope the master will agree. ”

Compared with the previous inquiry, Huo Qiji's move was abrupt, after all, he was an important person from the Shikong Temple, if this was spread, he accepted the little novice of the Shikong Temple as a disciple, where is the face of the Shikong Temple.

However, he was a little surprised that even the Dharma Interpretation Master, who was angry before, was still silent.

The master of liberation put his palms together and said,

"Amitabha, all the Dharma is the harmony of causes and conditions, and the causes arise when they arise, and the causes are not yet there, nothing else. If he has a relationship with a layman, let him go. ”

At this time, an empty voice without opening his mouth said,

"Abbot, Master, I'll take the layman to see Wu Wang. ”

Huo Qiji said,

"Then there is Master Lao Kongwen. ”

After saluting the other two masters, he and Kongwen left the meditation room.

Seeing the two leaving, Shi Fa asked,

"What do you think, senior brother? The people from the Xuanyi Sect suddenly came to our Shikong Temple, and they are still Huo Xingwei's sons, is it really his own meaning as he said?"

Relieved said,

"Whether it is the attitude of Xuanyimen, the meaning of the national teacher, or the meaning of Huo Qiji, my temple is my temple, others are others, the light of the Buddha is shining, and no one can stop it. ”

The commentary says,

"Senior brother Gaojian, what about Huo Qiji?"

Shi Huai thought for a moment and said,

"Let him go, so as not to cause trouble, and immediately fly the pigeon to send a message to Senior Brother Shi Yuan, let him pay attention to it, so as not to have an accident. ”

Wu Forget didn't expect that Master Kongwen would bring this layman to find him, and this person who seemed to be more powerful than Master Kongwen would actually take him as an apprentice.

Kongwen said a few words on the side, to the effect that there is no need to forget and forget the burden in your heart, Shikong Temple is about the fate of the law, the mountain is the edge, and the mountain is also the edge.

When he went up the mountain, Kong Wen had seen this child's bones, and it was not suitable for them to practice the martial arts of their Shikong Temple. Ming Wang Jue and Vajra Mahamudra took a fierce path, this child was born weak and weak, and it was really not suitable.

If it weren't for his ancestor wanting to keep this poor child, I'm afraid he would have been politely refused.

It's not that the Shakong Temple is ruthless, it's that there are too many poor people in the world, and they want to purify all sentient beings, but they can't feed all sentient beings.

The Dharma is spread outside the courtyard wall, and the light of the Buddha shines.

Teaching within the walls of the courtyard is to eat, drink, and Lazar.

Behind all the fates, you have to live first, and to live is to be fed and clothed.

Wu Forget Xiao Shami didn't dwell on it for too long, so he made up his mind and decided to follow this master who was said to be the head of the Nine Great Sects, Xuanyimen, down the mountain.

After packing the package, he said goodbye to the master in the temple, and then followed the person he would call the master down the mountain.

When he went down the mountain, he was no longer Wu Forget, but Xing Yunqi.

On the way down the mountain, he met the eldest master in the temple.

He didn't quite understand why the master was so old and why he still let him sweep the floor, he had told the master in charge that he might as well go and sweep the mountain road by himself, but the master didn't tell him why, he just told him that he was obedient in the temple.

He didn't know that if it weren't for this sweeping master, he wouldn't have been able to stay.

Ran over, obediently saluted the old master, and said,

"Master, I'm going down the mountain, you have to take care of yourself. ”

The old monk didn't expect this child to go down the mountain with the monk who climbed the mountain in the morning, and he no longer asked about the things in the temple.

Nodding with the layman, he touched the top of the child's head and said,

"The Buddha is in the heart, not in the temple, the cause and the cause are extinguished, there is cause and effect, go to the child. ”

Huo Qiji felt that on this mountain, maybe this master's cultivation was not the highest, but the Dharma must be the deepest, and after bowing to the master, he was going to go down the mountain with this new disciple who had a good eye for him.

The old monk sang the Buddha's name and said,

"Life is busy, competing for the short and long, but the glory is not counted, and the gains and losses are difficult to measure. ”

Huo Qiji stopped, looked at the old monk and said,

"There are a number of withering glory, seeking and knowing, the gains and losses are difficult to measure, the difficulty is unpredictable in people's hearts, the master has profound Buddhism, and the younger generations are taught. “

The old monk was silent and watched the two go down the mountain.

————————————————

In front of Jimo City, the guard Kan Da and the city lord Mo Xu led people to wait in front of the city gate.

A figure appeared on the official road, and everyone who had been waiting for half an hour cheered up and looked ahead.

Ji Daqiang's answer was, "I haven't seen it, why hate it?"

The old man's heart was sore, and he said, "I haven't seen it, why hate it?"

Holding the big wall in his arms, Wei Long's eyes turned red.

At this time, Wei Long was not a general in a state land, but an elder, an old man who saw his blood relatives again.

muttered in his mouth,

"Child, you have suffered all these years. ”

Infected by the old man's emotions, Ji Daqiang was also a little uncomfortable, he gently broke free from the old man's arms, and then knelt in front of Wei Long, kowtowed three times, and said,

"Grandpa, the child is not bitter, the child is doing well in the mountains, the master is good to the child, the senior brother is like a younger brother to the child, and the people in Penglai Pavilion are very good to the child. ”

Ji Daqiang's "grandfather" made the old man's tiger body shake, Wei Long helped up the kneeling Ji Daqiang, and said softly,

"Okay, good, good boy, get up, come, sit down!"

Ji Daqiang felt that it was a little hot to sit next to the old man, but he couldn't bear to hurt the old man's heart, so he endured the heat and sat down again.

I thought to myself, it's a pity that such a spacious carriage is gone.

Wei Long said,

"Da Wall, remember, you are the son of King Lu, since you have gone down the mountain with me, you must have the bearing of a son, I have already ordered to go down and call the officials of Jimo City to greet you. ”

Looking at Ji Daqiang, who looked dazed, Wei Long smiled,

"You don't have to be nervous, there is grandpa here, you don't need to say much, grandpa just wants to tell them that you have been picked up by the old man. ”

Ji Daqiang nodded, and then asked,

"Grandpa, what about my mother?"

Wei Long's eyes became stern, and seeing that Ji Daqiang's heart was furious, the old man said,

"Child, your mother has suffered a lot over the years, but she is fine, remember, you are her belief in survival. Child, at present, the form of the capital is complicated, and when I get to Jimo City, I will tell you in detail, you remember, the people of Jimo City, but you are a big help. ”

The old man stared at Ji Daqiang and said,

"Child, when you arrive in the royal capital, you will face a storm, are you afraid?"

Ji Daqiang blinked and said,

"With my grandfather here, how can I be afraid of the big wall?"

Wei Long laughed and said in a loud voice,

"Good, good!"

At this moment Weber's voice sounded outside the carriage,

"General, Jimo City has arrived!"
