Chapter 37 I
Wang Shi put all the official silver in the wine vat on the mule cart, and drove the mule cart all the way down the mountain, not to the east, but to the south, thinking about the importance of finding a hiding place first. A path to the south for more than 40 miles, look at the day and night, drive into the front village to stay, asked a few households, the house is narrow, it is inconvenient to stay overnight, Wang Shi drove to the head of the village, saw three green brick houses, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man at the door, wearing a red soft scarf, wearing a green cloth cotton jacket, sitting in front of the door, Wang Shi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and hugged his fist to salute: "Xiaosheng is a passing guest, passing through your place at night, can you spend the night in the house, and pay the house money tomorrow." β
The boy said, "I'll ask Daddy." Saying that, he turned around and went in, and after a while, a middle-aged man came out together, Wang Shi said what he just said again, and the middle-aged man said: "It's okay to stay overnight, but you two heads need to go to the back to mow the grass to feed." β
Wang Shi said: "Xiaosheng is tired of walking, please help me get some forage to feed, and count the money together." β
When the middle-aged man saw that he was giving money, he told his son to go and bring some straw and corn to feed the horses and mules. I stayed here at night.
It is said that Cai Dutou and all the soldiers, until it was dark, still unable to get up, everyone until the middle of the night, the abdomen is not so painful, one by one has the strength to support each other, gathered on the road, all the soldiers asked Cai Dutou and said: "Now that I have lost the silver, how can I live." β
Cai Dutou said weakly: "This place is already the ground of the old county, and we went to the county seat, met the magistrate, and reported the case." I don't think the thief is far away. β
All the soldiers got on the carriage, followed Cai Dutou to the old county seat, and went straight to the next day, Cai Dutou went to the county office, saw the county, and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly. Cai Rengui brought his own soldiers to take the road back to Tianshui.
It is said that Wang Shi got up early on the second day, drove the mule cart, continued to walk south, and traveled for three days in a row, at noon on this day, Wang Shi was driving the mule cart and walked around, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind him, and when he looked back, he was taken aback, and saw that behind him, a boy with two pigtails on his head rode a donkey called a donkey, and caught up, but he did not see the old man with yellow teeth. After a little steady, he added two whips to the mule's back, and the pigtailed boy followed him all the way out of four or five miles, and cried out in a loud voice, "Leave the silver quickly!"
Wang Shi was shocked, how did he know that Guan Yin was in the car, ignored him, continued to add a few whips, and the two walked out of ten miles one after the other, the mule was weak and gradually slowed down. Seeing that the boy was getting closer and closer, Wang Shi thought to himself: "Being chased by him like this, it is better to make a decision with him, thinking about how capable this little boy can be, subduing him, tying him up with a rope, and throwing him by the side of the road, so as to save him from being behind him." After thinking about this, he parked the cart on the side of the road, jumped down from the mule cart, stood in the middle of the road with his forked hands, and the boy with pigtails rode to a donkey and came to a stop fifty paces from Wang Shi, and on the donkey's back: "Leave the silver quickly, and I will let you go." β
Wang Shi crossed his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "It's really not a small tone, why didn't the yellow-toothed old man come with you." β
The boy with yellow horns and pigtails smiled: "To deal with you, I don't need a master to go out, just me is more than enough." β
"You little boy, your tone is really not small, then don't blame me for being rude. He said: "Look at the arrow!" raised his hand to put three sleeve arrows on Tong'er, only to see Tong'er on the back of the donkey's left and right hands one after another, and the last one was shot at Tong'er's mouth, Wang Shi laughed: "Say big things, now you are hit by an arrow." When he saw that the boy had fallen on the donkey's back with an arrow, he thought about pulling it back. So he walked to the boy's side, stretched out his hand and pulled the arrow from his mouth, and pulled it several times in a row, but it did not come down, and the arrow was stuck in his mouth as if it were made of pig iron. Wang Shixin said: He is on the back of a donkey, it is not easy to pull out, and I will put him on the ground from the back of the donkey, and put his foot on his chest, so that it is more powerful. Both hands went to the donkey's back and was about to pick up the pigtail boy, only to see the boy suddenly turn over and sit up, laughing, it turned out that the sleeve arrow was bitten in his mouth with his teeth, and the boy also took the sleeve arrow in his hand, "You really shot me to death by you." It's funny. β
At that time, Wang Shi was about to hug him, but the boy suddenly sat up suddenly, making Wang Shi take three steps back in fright, and then he was ridiculed by the boy. Annoyed, a few arrows went up, and the right hand went to lift the collar of the child, it was really strange to say, the right hand just touched the collar, and suddenly a force shook Wang Shi out four or five steps away, almost unsteady on his feet, and almost sat on the ground. Wang Shi was secretly frightened, what kind of magic did this little boy do! He shouted, "What kind of magic are you?" Plotter!"
Tong'er laughed: "What kind of witchcraft is this, this kung fu is called Eighteen Dips in Clothes." β
No wonder you fell so far as I got my hand on your clothes. After Wang Shi finished speaking, he turned around and jumped on the mule cart and left, the child beat the donkey on the butt a few times, the donkey quickly chased up, the child overtook the mule cart from the side, and put the donkey in the middle of the road, Wang Shi had to stop the mule cart, "You are such a little child, what do you want silver, forget it! Forget it, I will give you ten taels of silver to buy candy to eat" said that he went to his arms and took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to Tong'er, Tong'er took the silver in his hand, and threw the silver back to Wang Shi, Wang Shi continued. smiled: "This is for you, don't blame others." Get out of the way. β
Tong'er said: "I'm not rare for you to have this bit of broken silver, I want the official silver in your car." β
Wang Shi said: "Why should I give you the official silver that I robbed, why don't you rob it yourself, wait for me to get the silver, but you come to get the ready-made, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world." β
Seeing that Wang Shi was unwilling, Tong'er didn't speak, jumped off the back of the donkey and walked towards Wang Shi, Wang Shi saw Tong'er coming, jumped down from the carriage, and walked in front of the mule, only to see Tong'er stretch his right hand forward: "Make a move, master, I'll let you make three moves first, if you can win me, you take the silver and go yourself." β
Wang Shi sneered: "The tone is really not small, don't think that what did you use to dip your clothes just now, and you fell me, I'm afraid of you." Then an arrow step jumped forward, and the right hand pushed the monument with one palm, only to see the child's figure flash to the side, and he had already avoided it, and said: "A move." Wang Shi saw that he was very fast, and he actually avoided the palm just now, and then quickly rushed in, one move Arhat captured the tiger, and grabbed the air, Tong'er said: "Two moves." Wang Shi saw that he had avoided two moves in a row, and he jumped in a little panic, and used a stunt, the king of heaven covered the top, and slapped his palm directly at the top door of Tong'er. Tong'er just shook his body lightly, Wang Shi's move was empty again, and Tong'er said: "Three moves." Then he shouted: "Offended!" Wang Shi didn't see what was going on, the pigtail boy had already flashed on the right side of his body, and the sword finger of his right hand poked at Wang Shi's waist and eyes, and suddenly, his whole body was numb, his hands and feet were paralyzed, and his mouth was speechless, like a puddle of mud falling to the ground. Tong'er walked over, grabbed Wang Shi's belt with one hand, lifted it gently, threw it on the side of the road in the future, searched him again, took out the remaining more than two hundred taels of silver in his arms, and then threw ten taels of silver back on Wang Shi's chest: "You gave me ten taels of silver just now, and I will pay you back ten taels of silver now, although you didn't accept the silver when you gave me just now, but I still want to pay you back this favor." Then the boy untied the reins of the red horse from behind the mule cart: "I will leave your horse for you." I took the money. Then he tied the reins of the donkey, to the back of the mule cart, paused, looked back at Wang Shi, who was lying on the side of the road, clasped his hands into fists and shouted, "Offend!" Then he jumped on the mule cart and drove away.
Wang Shi's body couldn't move, his mouth couldn't speak, and he knew in his heart that he had clicked on the acupoints. I was depressed, it was exactly: the strong have their own strong hands, and today they are planted in the hands of a yellow-mouthed child.
Wang Shi lay on the side of the road, until twelve hours before the body gradually moved, lay in the field all night, and could not move, almost froze to death at night, the next day got up and felt a little strange in the chest, led the jujube red horse to walk the Xu Road, felt that the body was warmer, jumped on the back of the horse and thought, their kung fu turned out to be so shallow, I should visit famous teachers, learn stunts, and be ashamed of snow today!
I remembered that I had heard Qin Wen say that there were Taoist masters in Wudang Mountain, so why not go to Wudang Mountain to find a famous teacher. The idea has been decided, riding the horse trail to Shiyan, Hubei Province, in Lu Xiaoxing night stay will and half a moon, at this time is walking to the city of Shangnan County, to see that the silver around has been very little, only one or two pieces of silver, not enough for a few days, plus that time was pointed to the acupoint, in the field suffered some cold, now more and more coughing and wheezing, into Shangnan County, looking for an inn to live, at this time thought that it was the twenty-fifth of the lunar month, every household was busy with the Spring Festival, Wang Shi wanted to be around and there was no entanglement, asked the shop Xiao Er: "There is a mule and horse market here." β
The shopkeeper said: "Go out of the main street to the right, and walk two miles to the mule and horse market." Wang Shi thanked the shopkeeper, led the jujube red horse all the way to the mule and horse market, inserted a straw mark on the horse's head, and a mule and horse dealer came over at a while, "Do you want to sell this horse?"
Wang Shidao: "Exactly!"
Then the mule and horse dealer came forward, looked at the teeth, weighed the horse, and asked, "How much silver do you want to sell?"
Wang Shi said: "One hundred taels of silver." β
The mule and horse dealer shook his head and said, "It is worth so much, I will kill it, and I will sell it for thirty taels of silver at most, including bones and meat." Give you twenty taels of silver, and you will not be able to do more. β
When Wang Shi heard this, he was furious: "What? You are going to buy and kill meat, and you will not sell it if you don't sell it! I won't sell it to you for three hundred taels of silver." β
Wang Shi was annoyed, so he simply led the horse back to the store, remembering that he had also studied medicine with the teacher, and now he had no money to catch medicine, so he led the horse to the suburbs, and while letting the horse go, he picked some herbs, perilla, Yin Chenhao, and parsnip. I took it back to the store and borrowed a pot to boil it, and after drinking it for a few days, my condition gradually improved. On this day, Wang Shi was eating in the lobby, and the shopkeeper came over and smiled: "Guest officer, look at the room money in the past few days, can you help settle it, seeing that tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve." This year's accounts will be cleared first, and the next year will be profitable. β
Wang Shi reached out to touch it in his arms, only to find two coins of broken silver, and the shopkeeper looked at it and said, "This bit of silver is not enough." β
Wang Shi's face was crimson with shame, "Little second brother, it's the Spring Festival, so I asked the store for pen and ink, I went to buy a few pieces of red paper, set up a stall at your door, write some Spring Festival couplets, and always take advantage of a few taels of silver." How is it. β
Shopkeeper: "If that's the case, I'll go and help you get it." Wang Shi handed the two pieces of broken silver to the shopkeeper, and after a while, the shopkeeper moved a table, a bench, and came to install it next to the door, on the side of the street, and cut the red paper, Wang Shi sat on the bench and waited for the business to come to the door, and waited until the afternoon, and a few masters came, and everyone saw that he wrote well, and the literature and science were transparent, and the neighbors on the left and right came to take care of the business, and after half a day's work, they got five taels of silver. After settling the money for the meal, there was still one or two left, and every morning he went to the door to set up a stall, until the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, he collected the stall, the shop Xiaoer, "Gongzi has a good deal these days, congratulations!" Wang Shi took two dollars of silver to thank the shop Xiaoer, calculated the balance, fifteen taels of silver, Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Shi lay alone in the room of the inn, recalling when he was at home when he was a child, every Chinese New Year's Eve, the family sat in front of the big wooden table in the hall house, eating reunion dinner, and his mother was always around, busy before and after, adding soup and rice, so warm! , Now wandering alone, it is also Chinese New Year's Eve, but now it is cold and deserted, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel, and when I am sad, the shop Xiaoer comes to knock on the door: "Guest officer! Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the treasurer asked me to send you a bowl of dumplings." Wang Shi got up from the bed, wiped his tears with his sleeves, walked and opened the door, and saw the shopkeeper standing outside the door with a bowl of steaming dumplings, with a smile on his face, Wang Shi took the bowl, thanked the shopkeeper, and went back to the room while eating dumplings, and couldn't stop the homesickness becoming more and more uncontrollable, and got up and chanted:
The sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve made the wanderer's heart wander.
In the past, the festival was harmonious, and today we are crying alone.
Wang Shi ate dumplings, while crying alone, alone in the room spent a Chinese New Year's Eve, the second day is the Spring Festival, in the morning the store sent rice balls, in the store has been living past the sixth day of the first month, see the weather is clear, the body will also rest well, the morning of the seventh day of the first month before the return of the room meal, and the remainder, five taels of silver, Wang Shi rode all the way to Shiyan, Hubei, traveled on the road for seven or eight days, arrived at the foot of Shiyan Wudang, asked the path the next morning all the way to Zixiao Palace, came to the gate of Zixiao Palace, a group of Taoists are practicing martial arts, practicing swordsmanshipγ Standing on the side and looking at the fascination, a Taoist priest in his thirties walked over next to him, with his hair in a bun on his head, a hairpin inserted horizontally, white skin, red phoenix eyes, and a few wisps of green beard under his chin, walked to Wang Shi and asked: "Immeasurable Tianzun!, I don't know what the donor is doing here?"
Wang Shi hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Xiaosheng Wang Shi, if you want to, come to learn from the teacher, I don't know if you are willing to accommodate it." β
The Taoist chief listened and smiled: "Hehe, there are tourists here every day, saying that they want to learn art, but they are not strong-minded, and they often learn halfway, so they can't bear this hardship and go down the mountain." The donor wants to enter my Wudang sect, it's okay, but you need to see the master first. β
When Wang Shi heard him say this, he said, "There is labor! β
The Taoist priest led the way in front, and took Wang Shi to the apse, went in first, and then came out to invite Wang Shi in, Wang Shi walked into the inner room, only to see a person sitting cross-legged on the bamboo couch, wearing a purple gold crown, wearing a yellow robe, in front of a Tai Chi Yin and Yang Bagua diagram, sitting blindly, with white hair, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, describing thin, this person is Zhang Sanfeng, the head of the Wudang faction, Wang Shi bowed and stood in front for a long time, Zhang Sanfeng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Shi for a while, and said: "The Shi wants to vote for my Wudang disciple?"
Wang Shi said: "Exactly, I hope the master will take it in." β
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and was silent for a while, "You stay first, and after a while, I'll talk about it to see if you can endure this hardship." Then he called the Taoist priest just now in and instructed, "Qing Xiu, you settle down this benefactor first, and let him learn some basic kung fu from you first." The Taoist priest took the order and took Wang Shi to a side room in the back to settle down.
The next day, the head of the Qing cultivator came to the door early in the morning and called the door: "Lord Wang, get up quickly and follow me to practice." β
When Wang Shi heard this, he turned over and got up from the bed, hastily freshened up, and followed the Qing Xiu Daoist to the front of the martial arts arena, Qing Xiu asked: "Have you ever learned any kung fu before, Wang Shi said: "In the past, Zen Master Yuanhui learned all the way to boxing." β
Qing Xiu was surprised: "The Yuanhui Zen Master you are talking about is the junior disciple of Elder Yuanzhen. β
Wang Shidao: "Exactly." β
Qing Xiu said: "That Yuanhui Zen Master, the master came out of Shaolin, since you are his apprentice, why do you come to Wudang again now." β
Wang Shi explained: "Zen Master Yuanhui is not willing to be my master, he only says to pass on some boxing techniques, and does not judge him as a master and apprentice. β
Seeing him say this, Qing Xiu was still a little undecided, so he walked in and told the head Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng listened, didn't speak, just waved his hand. Qing Xiu didn't know what it meant, came out, only asked Wang Shi to squat on the horse, squatting for a few days in a row, feeling bored, this day Qing Xiu Dao took all the disciples to practice swords in the martial arts field, Wang Shi came over, and did not squat on the horse step forward to hug his fist and salute and asked: "I don't know when the senior brother taught me swordsmanship." β
Qing Xiu said: "When you are squatting steadily, you can learn other kung fu." β
Wang Shi felt bored, packed up his baggage, and went to the main hall to say goodbye to Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng said: "Donor take care all the way." β
Wang Shi disturbed each other, so he took the road down the mountain, and heard that the swordsmanship of the Huashan faction walked alone in the rivers and lakes. Then take the road, go to Huashan to come, in the road for nearly a month, to the foot of Dehua Mountain, but see that Huashan is full of cliffs, to the mountain for a day, to Canglongling, and go forward to Xu, see a view, so go up and knock on the door, come out of a little Taotong, the head, asked: "What is the matter with the donor?"
Wang Shidao: "May I ask the Huashan faction, how to go, Xiao Tong said: "This is the Huashan faction." β
