Text: Chapter 8 Xu Brahma

The next day, after Yu Tianzhu and Yu Tianmiao finished breakfast, they bid farewell to Miaoyi Zhenren and left the Spirit Realm Mountain. When he was halfway there, Yu Tianzhu suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped the horse. Yu Tianmiao saw that Yu Tianzhu suddenly stopped, and hurriedly stopped his horse. I saw Yu Tianzhu say: "Ming people don't do dark things, sneaky people are actually righteous people and gentlemen." ”

As soon as the words fell, a person suddenly came out of the towering weeds of the mountain road, but it was the little Taoist priest who opened the door for him in the Spirit Realm Mountain Taoist Temple.

"Why are you?" asked Yu Tianmiao, staring at him tightly.

The little Taoist priest didn't say a word, plopped down, and knelt down. Seeing this, Yu Tianzhu and Yu Tianmiao looked at each other. The two turned over and dismounted, Yu Tianmiao helped the little Taoist priest up, and asked, "Why does the little Taoist priest kneel?"

The little Taoist priest wanted to speak and stopped, and he was hesitant.

Yu Tianzhu saw that there was a small burden behind him, and he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "I also know that the little Taoist priest doesn't say that you secretly flowed out of the Spirit Realm Mountain Taoist Temple and want to go down the mountain with us." ”

Seeing that Yu Tianzhu saw through his mind at once, the little Taoist priest praised again and again: "Exactly, exactly." ”

Yu Tianzhu smiled slightly: "Since you are secretly going down the mountain, without the consent of Miaoyi Zhenren, we naturally can't take you down the mountain." ”

When the little Taoist priest heard that Yu Tianzhu refused to take him down the mountain, his eyes suddenly moistened, and he cried. Yu Tianzhu and Yu Tianmiao looked at each other blankly, not knowing why the little Taoist priest suddenly cried bitterly.

Yu Tianmiao patted the little Taoist priest on the shoulder and asked softly: "Little Taoist priest, don't cry first, why do you want to go down the mountain with us, is it that the Taoist temple is boring, so you want to go down the mountain with us to find fun?"

The little Taoist priest shook his head.

Yu Tianmiao shook his head when he saw him, and asked again: "That is because the master treats you too harshly, and you can't bear it, so you want to go down the mountain?"

The little Taoist priest still shook his head.

Yu Tianmiao also shook his head when he saw the little Taoist, and he also shook his head, and for a while the second monk was confused.

Yu Tianzhu said: "If you don't tell the reason, we won't be able to take you down the mountain." ”

The little Taoist priest stopped crying, looked up at Yu Tianzhu, and then said, "Is it that if I tell the reason, you are willing to take me down the mountain?"

Even so, it was impossible for Yu Tianzhu to take him down the mountain, but in order to find out the reason for the matter, Yu Tianzhu lied that this was the case.

Only then did the little Taoist priest say, "I want revenge." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Tianzhu and Yu Tianmiao's hearts couldn't help but tremble.

Yu Tianzhu then asked, "What revenge do you have to avenge, and who is the enemy?"

The little Taoist gritted his teeth and said, "Zhu Gaoxu." ”

Yu Tianzhu and Yu Tianmiao were surprised, and Yu Tianzhu continued to ask: "Zhu Gaoxu is your enemy?"

The little Taoist priest nodded, and then said, "My father is Xu Yedonkey, the commander of Yanjing who was brutally killed by Zhu Gaoxu, and my name is Xu Brahma. After my father's death, my mother was so grieved that she died a little more than a month later. I lost my parents, I was going to take refuge in my uncle who lived in Datong, but my uncle and aunt were afraid of getting into trouble, and did not dare to take me in, I had no way to take refuge, I was lonely, I could only beg everywhere, and then an old beggar took me in and asked me to beg for food with him, at first he treated me well, I couldn't ask for anything, he didn't blame, and always gave me half of the things. Later, we went all the way east, and when we arrived in Liucheng, the old beggar asked me to join a local gang, called the beggar gang, I was not familiar with the place, so I had to obey him. The old beggar said that I was the least senior in the beggar gang, and that I had to be sent by them, and that I had to go out and beg every day. At first, it was fine, but I was scolded at most if I couldn't get anything, then I was not allowed to eat, and then I was punched and kicked. In particular, there are four wicked people in the Beggar Gang, and they all call these four the four protectors of the Dharma. These four men were very bad, and not only did they often intimidate me, but sometimes they imprisoned me and denied me food. Once, I was really hungry and secretly ate one of their steamed buns, but they found out, they stripped me of my clothes and threw me out into the street, and it was freezing outside, and I couldn't bear it, so I passed out. When I woke up, I was already lying on a bed, and it turned out that it was my master Miao Yi Zhenren who saved me, and he held a cup of hot tea in his hand and let me drink it, which was the first time I felt warmth after losing my parents. I explained my background to Master and begged Master to accept me as an apprentice, but Master said that I did have a master-apprentice relationship with him, so he agreed to accept me as an apprentice, and then followed my Master to the Spiritual Mountain Taoist Temple. Although I lived comfortably and leisurely in the Spirit Realm Mountain, the enmity of my parents was not shared, and I always thought about personally cutting Zhu Gaoxu to avenge my parents. I heard you talk to Master about Zhu Gaoxu last night, and I know that you are going to look for him, so I am waiting for you here early this morning. Please, take me down the mountain!"

Yu Tianzhu hesitated slightly, and then said: "Do you know that Zhu Gaoxu not only has many officers and soldiers around him to protect him, but also has many martial arts masters who are working for him, and it is not easy to kill him." ”

Xu Brahma felt that what Yu Tianzhu said was true, but no matter how difficult his parents' blood feud was, he would definitely have to revenge, so he thought of this and said: "I know that it is difficult to kill Zhu Gaoxu, but the revenge of my parents must be avenged, and besides, killing people does not have to rely on martial arts, it is okay to outwit." ”

Yu Tianzhu shook his head and said, "I can understand your revenge, but reality is reality after all, you still have to think twice." You can learn more martial arts from Miao Yi Zhenren, and when you are successful, it is not too late to go down the mountain to take revenge. The meaning of the words was actually a polite rejection of him.

Xu Brahma thought that Yu Tianzhu disliked his low martial arts, so he was reluctant to take him down the mountain, so he said: "Although I have not followed the master for a long time, I have also learned a lot of skills from the master. ”

Yu Tianzhu and Yu Tianmiao glanced at each other, and Yu Tianzhu smiled: "Then what skills have you learned?"

Miao Yi naturally did not teach Xu Brahma real martial arts, but some fist and foot kung fu and internal martial arts were still taught. Xu Brahma posed a posture, his right palm was raised, his palm was up, and his lower body was slightly bent, which was the first move in the palm of the divine crane taught to him by Miao Yi Zhenren. Then Xu Brahma split down with his right palm, pushed forward with his left palm, and at the same time took a step with his right leg, retracted his waist with his left palm, lifted his right palm back, and then split down, which was the response of the second crane to the song. Then hook the left foot, protect the chest with the left palm, push forward with the right palm, and the tip of the palm outward, which is the third trick to stand out from the crowd. Then the fourth move crane chirped ape, the fifth move drove the crane westward, to the sixth move, Yu Tianzhu suddenly stretched out his right hand, five fingers together, attacking the middle line of Xu Brahma, this move came suddenly, Xu Brahma was unexpected, hurriedly closed his palm to block, did not expect Yu Tianzhu's elbow to bend down, and then draw a semicircle, the back of his hand swept towards Xu Brahma's face, Xu Brahma hurriedly leaned back, Yu Tianzhu retracted his arm again, Xu Brahma was completely exposed in the middle line, defenseless, Yu Tianzhu's palm to the middle of the acupoint, Xu Brahma felt that his chest was suddenly chaotic, his body was unable to recover, and he fell to the ground, fortunately, Yu Tianzhu just used his strength, Xu Brahma was fine。 Yu Tianmiao helped Xu Brahma up and said with a smile: "Your Divine Crane Palm is good, but it lacks a little heat, if you use logistics and cultivation, maybe you will make a difference." ”

Xu Brahma's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to respond.

I saw him hesitantly said: "My β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ martial arts β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ is indeed not high, but I will practice diligently in the future β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’, and I hope that the two seniors can take me down the mountain." With that, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. Yu Tianmiao wanted to pull him up, but he refused.

Yu Tianzhu was very embarrassed when he saw this. If you take him down the mountain, without the consent of Miaoichi Zhenren, it will naturally be difficult to explain. If you don't take him down the mountain, he will be entangled.

Just when he was in a dilemma, suddenly an extremely slight voice came from his ears, and he saw that voice say: "Xu Brahma's experience is still shallow, and the Spirit Mountain is a place of cultivation after all, which will not help to increase Xu Brahma's experience, so I asked two old friends to take him down the mountain." But his martial arts cultivation is not high, and he is burdened with family feuds, for fear that he will be impulsive and go to find trouble with Zhu Gaoxu in private, which will cause death, and I hope that the two of them will watch him closely. "The person who spoke was none other than Miaoichi. Miao Yi Zhenren uses the method of transmitting sound for thousands of miles, and it can only be displayed after the internal force reaches the refinement, and it is also necessary for people with profound internal strength to realize that Xu Fantian's strength is weak, so he naturally does not know that his master has allowed him to go down the mountain at this time.

Yu Tianmiao saw that Yu Tianzhu suddenly stood still, so he asked, "Senior brother, did Miaoyi Zhenren bring something to say?"

Yu Tianzhu nodded, then turned to Xu Brahma and said, "You get up, your master just brought a message and allowed you to go down the mountain with us." ”

Xu Brahma looked around, half-convinced, and said in his heart, "When will Master bring the message?" But when he heard that Yu Tianzhu suddenly agreed to take him down the mountain, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Yu Tianzhu turned over and said to Xu Brahma, "You can sit behind me." Xu Brahma looked happy, hurriedly got up and walked over, Yu Tianzhu moved his left foot away, gave him the stirrup, and the little Taoist stepped on the stirrup and turned over on the horse, and sat behind Yu Tianzhu. Yu Tianzhu grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "You sit tight." ”

Xu Brahma said hello.

Yu Tianmiao was also on the horse and said, "Senior brother, are we going to find Wanhuahong next?"

Yu Tianzhu said: "Let's go to Liucheng first." ”

When Xu Brahma heard that he was going to Liucheng, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he secretly thought: "What is the eldest brother going to Liucheng for?"

The three of them traveled for half a day to Liucheng, and at this time it was past noon, and they were already hungry. After the three of them entered the city, they found an inn, ordered a few small dishes at random, and then ate them. While they were eating vigorously, two beggars, one old and one young, each with a broken bowl, begged whenever they met, but basically no one paid any attention to them. Soon they walked in front of the three of them, and at this time, the shopkeeper had already walked over, stopped them, and was about to drive them away, when suddenly Xu Brahma said, "Why are you?" The two beggars seemed to recognize Xu Brahma, and saw that the little beggar was very excited, his eyes flashed, and he exclaimed: "Brother Tian, why are you here?"

Xu Brahma also seemed to be very happy, and his face was rippling with joy: "Han'er, you seem to have grown taller." The little beggar grinned, and a mouthful of white teeth appeared on his dirty face. Xu Brahma shifted his gaze to the old beggar and said respectfully, "Second Uncle Liu, long time no see." ”

Second Uncle Liu nodded lightly in response.

When the shopkeeper saw that the guests knew the old beggar, he was naturally embarrassed to drive them away, so he let them go, and turned around and walked into the back room.

Xu Brahma pointed to the bench beside him and said, "Second Uncle Liu, Han'er, you sit down." Although Xu Brahma was full of fists, he saw that Second Uncle Liu was unmoved. Han Er was very happy, and just as he was about to sit down, he was pulled up by Second Uncle Liu. Han Er seemed to be squeezed, and Nunu's mouth, which was very reluctant, was covered with a layer of gloom. Xu Brahma didn't know why Second Uncle Liu treated him so coldly, in order to divert the embarrassment, Xu Brahma said to Yu Tianzhu and Yu Tianmiao: "Big brother, sister-in-law, this is Second Uncle Liu who took good care of me when I was in the beggar gang before, and Han Er always played with me when I was lonely, they are all good people." ”

Yu Tianzhu and Yu Tianmiao just nodded slightly, and then continued to eat.

Second Uncle Liu suddenly spoke: "Xiaotian, do you know that you left the beggar gang without permission, but you committed the taboo of the beggar gang. Now that the money helmsman of Liucheng has ordered you to be treated as a traitor, anyone from the beggar gang must arrest you back when they see you. ”

When Xu Brahma heard that Second Uncle Liu was going to arrest him and return to the helm, he was so frightened that he stood up and said, "Second Uncle Liu, I β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ meβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ I am not betraying β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’."

Xu Brahma was nervous, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he couldn't defend himself at all.

Second Uncle Liu sighed and said, "Xiaotian, it's not that Second Uncle Liu said you, you have suffered a lot in the beggar gang, and I can understand that you secretly left the beggar gang." But after you leave, you will never return to Liucheng. But you're going to turn back here, aren't you throwing yourself into the net?"

Xu Brahma saw that Second Uncle Liu had both blame and concern for him in his words, and his worried mood just now calmed down a lot. He knew that Second Uncle Liu couldn't bear to arrest him back to the helm. He wanted to say that he didn't want to go back to Liucheng, but Brother Yu wanted to come to Liucheng. But he was afraid that as soon as these words came out, Yu Tian would mistake him for being reluctant to go down the mountain with him, so he could only bury the words in his heart and dare not say it.

Yu Tianzhu sandwiched a piece of fat chicken leg and beckoned to the little beggar: "This chicken leg is for you." When the little beggar saw the chicken legs, he swallowed his saliva, but he did not dare to go over and get the chicken legs. Then he looked at Second Uncle Liu again, as if he wanted to ask for his consent. Second Uncle Liu said: "We are beggars, and we will take it if someone gives us food, and we can rest easy." Seeing that Second Uncle Liu agreed, the little beggar happily walked over to pick up the chicken legs. At this moment, three more beggars in ragged clothes and unkempt faces, who did not look too old. They held a bamboo stick in their right hand and a broken bowl in their left hand, and they asked for alms when they met people, but they were all refused. One of the beggars touched the arm of the other with his elbow, and the other beggar smiled contemptuously, his eyes falling on Second Uncle Liu and Han Er. They came over at the same time, and soon came to Second Uncle Liu's side. Xu Brahma suddenly saw three beggars coming over, thinking that they were coming to arrest him, and immediately became nervous in his heart, not daring to look at them directly. But the three beggars didn't seem to pay attention to Xu Brahma.

"Old man Liu, when will I return a few taels of silver?" said one of the beggars.

Second Uncle Liu looked embarrassed, frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't you say that you would be tolerant for a few more days?"

The beggar said, "How many days of tolerance?" Hmph, even if you are tolerant for another month, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay back that money." ”

When Xu Brahma heard this, he thought, "Why does Second Uncle Liu owe them money?"

At this time, the beggar standing on the left saw Han Er holding a fat chicken leg in his hand, and walked over with a stride, so he wanted to snatch the chicken leg from his hand. As soon as his hand touched the chicken leg, his hands suddenly retracted as if they had been clicked. It turned out to be Yu Tianzhu, who used bamboo chopsticks to pick out a peanut and hit the person's Waiguan acupoint. When the beggar saw that Yu Tianzhu was playing tricks on him, he asked, "Who are you?"

Yu Tianzhu put a peanut into his mouth and chewed it. Then he said slowly: "You beggar really don't know how to be polite, this chicken leg was given to this little beggar by me, and if you take his chicken leg, it is equivalent to taking my chicken leg." ”

The beggar said: "If the chicken leg is not in your hand, it is not yours, what do I have to do with you if I take the chicken leg from his hand?"

Yu Tianmiao suddenly said: "You like to eat chicken thighs so much, then please eat a piece." As soon as the words fell, I saw that the chicken leg held by Yu Tianmiao's chopsticks had flown out, and the beggar had time to react, only to see that the chicken leg was clamped with a force, which happened to hit the beggar's mouth, and the beggar screamed miserably and fell to the ground, only to feel that his mouth was full of fishy smell, and he spit out a few front teeth.

The remaining two beggars saw that Yu Tianmiao's internal strength was so strong, and they knew that the two were definitely not idle people. I saw one of the beggars walk over and lift the fallen beggar to his feet. Another beggar asked, "Who are you?" and you hurt my beggar brother. ”

Yu Tianzhu put a peanut in his mouth, and said slowly: "You and other moths can be regarded as beggar disciples." ”

The beggar saw Yu Tianzhu's contemptuous words, and suddenly became angry, only to see the bamboo stick towards Yu Tianzhu's head, Yu Tianzhu unhurriedly dialed the chopsticks, only to see the chopsticks gently picked, and then the beggar's attack was resolved. The beggar led the bamboo stick back and attacked from the side of Yu Tianzhu, Yu Tianzhu's two chopsticks opened a mouth, and then clamped the bamboo stick tightly, as if it had grown a root, no matter how hard the beggar tried, the bamboo stick could not be pulled out of Yu Tianzhu's chopsticks.

Yu Tianzhu said: "Today, for the sake of Tang Yidao, the leader of the Eastern Beggar Gang, and spare your life, if you bully the weak again, then don't blame me for being unkind." After that, the chopsticks in his hand were clamped, only to hear a click, and the bamboo stick in the beggar's hand was broken in two. Seeing that Yu Tianzhu easily pinched his bamboo stick with only a pair of slender chopsticks, the beggar knew that the other party's martial arts were far superior to his own, so he didn't dare to be bored anymore, and left the inn with the remaining two beggars.

After the three beggars left, Xu Brahma asked, "Second Uncle Liu, how can you owe them money?"

Second Uncle Liu didn't say anything, took Han Er's hand, and left the inn.

After Second Uncle Liu left, Xu Brahma was worried about the safety of Second Uncle Liu and Han Er, after all, Xu Brahma had seen the methods of beggars to torture people.

"Are you still worried about the father and son?" Yu Tianzhu seemed to see through Xu Brahma's thoughts. Xu Brahma replied softly. Yu Tianzhu said kindly: "I believe those people will not embarrass them." We'll go and meet the money helmsman later. ”

Xu Brahma saw that Yu Tianzhu was going to take him to the rudder, and couldn't help but worry more, that place was Xu Brahma's nightmare, but Yu Tianzhu actually said this, Xu Brahma was going to go hard.
