Zhang Ergou saw that Da Kui had only replied for a long time, and knew that this general must have something unspeakable. It's inconvenient to disturb: "Oh, then General Zhang will sleep in the back room tonight." Da Kui didn't shirk either, went out and unsaddled Hongyun, carried an iron gun in one hand and a saddle in the other, went into the back room, found a bed, took off his armor, and fell asleep except for his coat.

Zhang Ergou found some hay and laid it out on the floor of the outhouse and fell asleep. There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Da Kui got up in the morning, and then went to put on the armor but felt that it was inappropriate. Since there is no longer a war, then it is better not to wear this armor. So he asked Zhang Ergou for homespun clothes, shoes and socks to wear on his body, and found a piece of cloth to wrap the armor, and went out with a saddle to saddle Hongyun. When everything was cleaned up, Da Kui said goodbye to Zhang Ergou and asked for the path all the way to the south.

When he saw the majestic figure of Tiantai Mountain again, Da Kui's heart was like a world away. I was thinking about Master in my heart, and I didn't know how Master was doing now. Tiantai Mountain Dakui is already familiar with the road. When I got down the mountain, I got off the horse and led the red cloud to the mountain, thinking all the way, 'Master won't deny me?' I couldn't help but feel worried when I thought of this.

When he stood in front of the mountain gate, Da Kui remembered that he had stood in front of the door for six days when he was apprenticing, and in the end, it was the master's soft-hearted heart that he could succeed in his apprenticeship. If the master doesn't recognize me, I'll still stand here until he recognizes me.

Thinking of this, Da Kui plucked up the courage to knock on the door. After a while, a young Taoist priest came and opened the door, looked Da Kui up and down, and suddenly realized that he was a fool and shouted, "You are a fool uncle." Da Kui also suddenly remembered that this young Taoist priest was the little Taoist boy named Huiqing back then, and now he is sixteen or seventeen years old. couldn't help but smirk: "You're Huiqing, right?"

Huiqing hurriedly opened the mountain gate and said, "Uncle Fool, come in." At this time, a scolding came from behind Huiqing: "Huiqing, don't be presumptuous." Da Kui couldn't help but look at the sound and said, "Senior brother." ”

It was Da Kui's senior brother Ling Xuzi, who walked to Da Kui's side and looked up and down: "Well, my little junior brother has grown taller and stronger than before." ”

Lingxuzi raised his hair and said, "Master knows that you are coming, and has ordered me to wait for you here." Da Kui asked in surprise, "How did the master know that I was coming?"

Lingxuzi smiled: "I also asked Master, Master said that everything in the world has a cause and effect. When you went up to the mountain, Master knew that you and even the most affectionate people, if the old mother at home was safe, you would not go to join the army. Now that the red scarf in the north has disappeared, Master is sure that according to your temperament, you must have seen through the red dust, since you have nowhere to go, where will you go if you don't come here?"

Da Kui exclaimed, "Master is really an immortal. Lingxuzi pretended to be annoyed and said, "Master didn't go west, how did he become an immortal?" After a pause, he smiled and said, "Master is waiting for you in the Jingshe, go quickly." ”

Da Kui threw down his horse and galloped towards the courtyard where the Master Lingzhi lived, shouting all the way, "Master, I'm back." "Rushed into the master's courtyard, came to the door of the house and pushed the door in. Seeing the Venerable Master sitting cross-legged on the futon as before, Da Kui fell to his knees with a pop. First, he knocked his head three times before saying, "Master, I'm back." Da Kui was so excited that he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Master of Lingzhi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Da Kui and said angrily, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are still so reckless. Da Kui couldn't help but smirk when he heard this. Da Kui couldn't help but be overjoyed to see that his master had not changed at this time, and that he was still in good health.

The Master of Wisdom paused and said, "Now that you have no worries, you have come back just in time. If it's three or five years later, you're afraid you'll never see Master again. Da Kui smiled and said: "Master has a long life of 100 years and a thousand years, and I can't do anything if I am ten years late." The Master smiled and said, "I'm not a monster, how can I live for a thousand years." He smiled lightly.

Da Kui said: "I won't leave this time when I go up the mountain, and I will be by Master's side in the future." When the Venerable Master heard this, he smiled and said, "You are not over, so don't talk about this." I have told your brother to clean up your bedroom, go and come back tomorrow. Da Kui kowtowed to the Master Lingzhi three more times, and then got up and went out.

When I went out, I saw that the senior brother was already standing outside the door with a smile, and when I saw Da Kui Lingxuzi, he didn't speak, turned around and left.

It turned out that the bedroom arranged by the master was in the courtyard next to the master's house, and Lingxuzi settled Da Kui and said, "Senior brother, you will live here in the future, and you can bring your horse by yourself." Da Kui agreed, and Lingxuzi turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Da Kui went first to lead the horse and unsaddle the horse. Anyway, when I had nothing to do, I went to herd the horse, and I went to the waterfall and didn't see Wujie. He put the reins and let Hongyun drink water and eat grass, and sat on the shore of the lake looking at the waterfall in a daze.

sat straight until the evening, and then led Hongyun back. Everything was as before, but I didn't see the third senior brother Yu Xuzi and the fourth senior brother Taixuzi, and when I asked, I realized that the two senior brothers had traveled down the mountain.

Early in the morning of the second day, Da Kui came to the Master's door early. At this time, as soon as the morning dawned, Da Kui had just arrived at the door, and he heard the Lingzhi Venerable said, "Da Kui, come in." Da Kui couldn't help but marvel, Master's ear power was really amazing.

Da Kui pushed the door and entered, and the Master of Wisdom was still sitting cross-legged on the futon as before. Seeing Da Kui, the Lingzhi Master said, "Go and sit." Da Kui closed the door and went to the futon on one side to sit cross-legged and wait for the admonition.

The Master of Wisdom asked, "I already know a thing or two about what happened after you came down the mountain. Back then, you went to Tiantai Mountain to study art for five years, and only learned how to walk thousands of miles and fly locust stones. You won't blame Master, right?" Da Kui said: "How can I blame Master, it's because I'm stupid that I can't learn." ”

The Master of Wisdom smiled and said, "Hehe, you would never have imagined it. When I was a teacher, I was as stupid as you when I was a teacher. When Da Kui heard this, his eyes opened like copper bells. How is this possible, the master is extremely intelligent, and the four apprentices passed on each have a skill. Moreover, what each apprentice learns is different, so I don't know what the master means by saying this?

The Master of Wisdom smiled slightly, "You have only been gone for a few months, but the master has been gone for seven years and six months. Da Kui was stunned. Busy asking the reason, it turned out that the master of Lingzhi was Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang School. At that time, Zhang Sanfeng was more than 50 years old, and he traveled erratically.

The real name of the Lingzhi Venerable Master was Zhang Xi, and Zhang Xi was just sixteen years old at the time. Since he was a child, he has set a baby kiss, and he and his fiancée's childhood sweetheart have no guesses. Later, Zhang Xi's fiancée was seized by bullies and beat Zhang Xi to serious injury. After Zhang Xi recovered from his injury, he swore a poisonous oath to learn art and come back to take revenge.

I have apprenticed many times, but I have gone through hardships, and then I heard that Wudang Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts have been perfected. Then he went to Wudang Mountain to apprentice, who knew that Zhang Zhenren had traveled around, and Zhang Xi looked around. That's seven years and six months. On the way to find a teacher, Zhang Xi had to eat and worked as a coolie. Sometimes they even fight with wild dogs for food.

When Zhang Xi was twenty-three years old, he came to a small town by the Li River in Yunnan, which coincided with Zhang Zhenren's travels here, and Zhang Zhenren felt that Zhang Xizhi's sincerity was accepted as a closed disciple. Although Zhang Xi is honest by nature, Zhang Zhenren once said: "If you look for me for seven years and June, I will return you for seven years and June." In the past seven years, Zhang Zhenren has taught carefully, and Zhang Xi has finally achieved positive results.
