Chapter 10: Good Deception
The old man smiled and asked: "If you learn art, why do you have to go so far, it is said that Shaolin monks are all strong in martial arts." Why don't you go to Songshan Shaolin Temple?"
Da Kui knew that this old man was a good person, and he didn't hide it. told the truth: "I met Tang and Brother Tang, the generals of the Red Turban Army, in Jeju, and he asked me to go to Feiyun Temple on Tiantai Mountain to find his uncle 'Crazy Taoist' to learn art. That's why I came thousands of miles to apprentice." After a pause, Da Kui asked, "Uncle, I don't know what your surname is." ”
The old man smiled: "The old man's surname is Liu Guangde, he is sixty and two this year, my wife is three years older than me, and her mother-in-law's surname is Li." ”
Da Kui stood up and knelt on the ground: "Uncle Liu's life-saving grace, I will remember Zhang Dakui for a lifetime." "I want to kowtow.
Liu Laohan hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Da Kui up: "Kid, what are you doing? Get up and get up quickly!" he pulled Da Kui up and pressed him on the stool and said, "It's not far from Tiantai Mountain, don't be in a hurry, you might as well stay here with me for a few more days." It's good to take care of your body. ”
Da Kui said: "Uncle Liu's kindness is well understood, and my body is not in the way, so I will leave." With that, he got up, picked up the burden at the head of the bed and went out to leave.
Liu Laohan saw that he couldn't keep it, so he called his wife, wrapped a few more cakes with a cloth and stuffed them in Da Kui's hand and said, "These cakes are left on the road to eat, be more careful along the way." Da Kui couldn't bear it any longer, and took a few steps back and knelt on the ground. Knocked three times to the two kind old men. Then he hardened his heart and got up, turned around and left.
Liu Laohan's voice came from behind him: "Child, come back if you have any difficulties." Da Kui heard it in his ears, and tears had already flowed on his face.
Da Kui continued to walk south, and asked people on the way. After another three days, I finally arrived in Taizhou. Seeing the towering green mountains from afar, Da Kui couldn't be happier.
It happened that there was a tea stall on the side of the road, and Da Kui stepped forward and asked the boss: "Big brother, please ask something." How to go to the Feiyun Temple on Tiantai Mountain?" The boss said: "There is indeed a Taoist temple on Tiantai Mountain, but it is not called Feiyun Temple but Qingxu Temple. ”
Da Kui was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Since there is a Taoist temple, you might as well inquire when you arrive" and asked: "Big brother, how to go to this Qingxuguan?" The boss pointed to the south: "Go straight along this road for more than 20 miles, and there is a road up the mountain to the southwest at the fork in the road." Walk straight. Da Kui hurriedly thanked him. Take the road and head south.
Tiantai Mountain lies hundreds of miles from east to west, connecting Danqiu in the east, Qi'an in the west, Xianju in the south, and Yandong in the north. Because the mountain has eight layers, the four sides are the same, the top is against the three Chen, when the cow girl is divided, the upper should be the Taisu, so it is called Tiantai Mountain. And because there have been high monks and Taoists practicing here in all dynasties, Tiantai Mountain has the reputation of the source of Buddhism.
Da Kui arrived at the bottom of the mountain and looked up: "My mother, this mountain is so good." Da Kui sighed while climbing the mountain, and there were countless beautiful scenery along the way. Halfway up the mountain, look up at the top of the mountain. Lush among the eaves of the pavilion, there is a Taoist temple. By the time Da Kui arrived at the mountain gate, he was already sweating profusely.
On the steps in front of the door, a beautiful Taoist boy was sweeping the fallen leaves on the steps, and Da Kui took three steps and two steps over and asked, "Little master, is this Feiyun Temple?"
Dao Tong smiled and said, "This is Qingxuguan, don't you recognize the words?" Da Kui looked up and saw that there were indeed three big characters under the gatehouse. It's a pity that Da Kui hasn't read a book and doesn't recognize it.
Da Kui asked again: "Is there a flying cloud temple on this Tiantai Mountain?"
Dao Tong said: "I haven't heard of it. ”
Da Kui was stupid and thought to himself, 'How could Brother Tang lie to me'. This little Taoist boy was only eleven or twelve years old at first glance, and he said in his heart: 'How can he know that Tiantai Mountain is so big'.
Da Kui rushed in with a glimmer of hope, and Dao Tong hurriedly reached out to stop him. "Why are you like this? Da Kui said: "You don't know Feiyun Guan, I'll go find someone else to ask." The two were arguing in front of the door.
A majestic voice came from inside the door: "Who trespassed?" I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest walking out of the mountain gate to block the way. Dao Tong hurriedly complained: "Master, this person came to find Feiyun Temple, I said I didn't know about him and broke in." ”
When the middle-aged Taoist priest saw Da Kui's ragged face and yellow muscles, he couldn't help but ask, "Dare to ask where the donor is from?"
Da Kui said: "I came from Jeju, Shandong, and I am looking for an infatuated Taoist to learn art." ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest said: "I'm afraid that the donor is mistaken, there is no Feiyun View in the radius of hundreds of miles of Tiantai Mountain, and there is no infatuated Taoist friend you said." ”
Da Kui argued: "I have here a letter from Brother Tang, and he called me here. ”
When the middle-aged Taoist priest heard this, he smiled and said, "I have a letter to show me." ”
Da Kui took out the soup and the letter from his arms and handed them to the middle-aged Taoist priest, who took the letterhead and unfolded it, looked at it twice, and then handed it to the Taoist boy and said, "Disciple, you come and read it to him." ”
"Yes, Master" Dao Tong took the letter and read it aloud: "Brother Da Kui sees words like faces, although you and I meet in the water, but I know that my brother is a loyal, benevolent and filial person after two days of getting along. My brother wanted to go with me, but I remembered that there was still a high hall alive in my brother's family. Besides, the younger brother is still young and straightforward. The military is not the best destination for brothers, I hope that brothers will think of their mothers at home, and don't give birth to branches! Brother Tang Dingchen advised. ”
When Da Kui heard this, it was like five thunderbolts. muttered to himself: "No, Brother Tang won't lie to me." Da Kui was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran away, and the middle-aged Taoist couldn't stop it.
Da Kui was full of hope that he could learn art when he arrived at Tiantai Mountain, but he didn't think that everything was in vain. Disappointed and sad, with mixed feelings, he panicked and ran down the mountain. Crying and screaming while running: "Brother Tang, why are you lying to me, why?ah~~!" At this time, Da Kui was already like crazy, and he only cared about running around the mountains. I didn't want to be tripped by thorns under my feet, and I suddenly fell to the ground solidly.
Da Kui lay on the ground and cried bitterly, holding the thorns and weeds on the ground with both hands, letting the wooden thorns on the thorns pierce the pain in his hands, and the pain in his heart at this moment was still more than the pain in his hands. He didn't believe that he had come from afar, and what he had received in exchange was a lie and deception. In Da Kui's heart, Tang He is a big hero, and how can a big hero deceive people?
Da Kui lay on the ground and cried for a long time, until the hoarse tears had dried up, Da Kui got up and ran wildly, unconsciously ran to a cliff and there was no way out, this is actually a valley embraced by mountains.
I heard the sound of rumbling water from afar, and I didn't know what Da Kui thought, so he ran away in search of the sound of water. Turning the foot of the mountain, there is a scenery in front of you; looking at the dangerous peaks in the distance, the auspicious clouds and mist are shrouded in the middle, and a waterfall is like a curtain of water flowing down with a shocking momentum.
Under the waterfall, a large lake with a radius of several miles is naturally formed, the water of the lake is clear and vast, and a few water birds are sometimes seen on it. But there is a person wearing a hat and holding a fishing rod, leisurely fishing on the blue shore of this lake and mountains. This situation and this scene are beautiful, isn't it a paradise in Yaochi Wonderland?
At this time, Da Kui had no intention of appreciating it, and he felt all kinds of grievances in his heart. There is no penni on his body, and if he can't learn art, he will have the face to see his mother again. Thinking of this, Da Kui rushed towards the big lake.
