Chapter 8: The Past in the Desert
Sima Mo was thinking that at the end of last year, his father did go on a long trip, saying that he was going to run a business, and he went for more than two months, and he came back when the New Year was almost over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but I was shuttling through various relatives' houses to ask for red envelopes, so I didn't pay much attention to it, and now it seems that something must have happened at that time.
Sima Shi said that he had already spoken, and when he saw that he was uneven, he drew his sword to help, and Poor Dao couldn't get used to seeing those thieves doing evil, so he just taught a lesson by the way. Wang Daochang said.
Sima Mo listened on the sidelines, these two people came and went politely, they hadn't said anything yet, they couldn't do it in a hurry, so they hurriedly asked their father, "Father, what is the matter? Why didn't I know you were in danger?"
Sima Zhengyang glanced at Sima Mo, and pretended to be angry and said, "Hmph, what do you know, you know that you are playing outside every day, and when I die one day, I don't know if you can manage such a big family business." “
"Hehe, father, I promise not to be so playful in the future! I promise to study hard and practice martial arts well! But you have to tell me what the hell is going on, right?"
Sima Mo looked at Sima Zhengyang and said mischievously. Wang Daochang smiled without saying a word, picked up the teacup and took a sip, it was really a good tea, fragrant and endless.
"That was at the end of last year, I took a batch of goods from my family to Shacheng in the Western Regions to sell, I remember bringing two boxes of East China Sea pearls, two boxes of silk, two boxes of tea, and more than 20 Jiading and Steward Sun with me. “
When Sima Mo heard it, it was really at that time, so he stopped talking and listened carefully to his father's story.
"In that place in Shacheng, the poor and the white are full of desolation, and these things in our south are treasures in the eyes of their rich merchants and officials. It didn't take a few days to sell them all, and I rushed home with four large boxes of gold and silver, looking for a good New Year. As a result, the father ignored a big thing, that is, the quicksand sect, the quicksand sect is the largest cult in the desert, and there are a large number of sects, and there are ears and eyes everywhere in Shacheng, so the news that our carriage is pulling money spreads far and wide, and it reaches the ears of the leader of the quicksand sect. This was a big deal, and he sent two elders from his sect to rob him. The day after we left Shacheng, we walked to Mobei Town, the weather was very bad, and the wind was strong, so I asked everyone to rest in a teahouse and wait for the weather to clear before continuing on our way. At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of screaming outside, so I led the family out to see what was going on. “
Speaking of this, Sima Zhengyang's expression moved slightly, as if he had seen something terrible, and continued, "I saw that there was still a strong wind outside, but the town was not what it used to be. Suddenly, a few masked people jumped down from the trees in the distance, and at the same time, the sand on the ground appeared a raised pile of sand, which was rapidly attacking me and the family, I saw that the situation was not good, and immediately asked them to take out weapons to deal with it, Steward Sun had been a lay disciple in Shaolin, and had learned some kung fu, and he was also very anxious to see this scene, and he pulled out a thin sword while letting me escape from the back of the teahouse. At this time, a person jumped out of every pile of sand on the ground, and he also covered his face, and began to kill without saying a word, I hurried back to the teahouse and ran out of the back door, only to hear the screams behind me, I was afraid of death, and ran forward vigorously, but I didn't run far, and two people appeared in front of me. The two men were emaciated, dressed in black armor, and their faces were full of ferocity. I stopped and asked who they were, and the person on the left replied 'Samo Evil' and the person on the right replied 'Samor Evil', and as soon as I heard it, I thought that these were the two great protectors of the Quicksand Cult. Immediately, there was a sense of despair in my heart. “
After speaking, Sima Zhengyang let out a sigh of relief, as if he was frightened, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before slowly continuing.
"I told them to take all the money away, I don't want anything, as long as they let me go, every year I come to the desert in the future, I will teach some treasures to the quicksand. But neither of them listened to Ben, but just whispered, 'Everyone who knows about this is dead, including you.'" Frightened, knowing that they would definitely not let me go, so I took out a brush and fought with them, but how did I learn shallowly, I was not the opponent of the two at all, and after a few moves, I was slashed in the leg, and I couldn't move while sitting on the ground, and the two people also slowly walked towards me, and without saying a word, raised the knife in their hands and slashed at me. I was so desperate that I could only close my eyes and wait for death, but suddenly, someone from behind the two people in front of me shouted, 'Er Dare!'"
When Sima Zhengyang said this, he glanced at Wang Daochang on the side, and his eyes were full of gratitude. Wang Daochang just smiled faintly and continued to drink tea.
"Then what's going on? Father, say it quickly!" Sima Mo didn't want his father to stop at this time, he was as serious as listening to a play.
Then I opened my eyes, only to see the distant Wang Dao Chang stepping into the air, holding the dust, in the blink of an eye to the Sha Mo evil behind them, a palm out, the Sha Mo evil was knocked away several meters in response, the side of the Sha Mo evil reaction, turned back is a knife, Wang Dao Chang is easy to dodge, I looked on the ground, just now the knife wind actually cut the sand on the ground out of a big crack, scared me immediately moved back. At this time, Sha Mo Xie also rushed over, and the two of them worked together to kill Wang Dao Chang, but Wang Dao Chang's body was very strange, Sha Mo and the two of them, as the two elders of the Quicksand Sect, their strength was naturally good, but countless sword qi slashed back and forth, and they didn't hurt Wang Dao Chang at all. My father thinks that he has seen a lot of people in the market and a lot of knights, but the strength of Wang Daochang is really the first time he has seen it, and he can't help but secretly admire it. The two of them were also aware of this, and Wang Daochang had been dodging erratically, but he didn't kill the two. The two of them stopped, glanced at Wang Daochang, and flew away to the side. Then Wang Daochang didn't chase me, walked up to me, poured some gold medicine on my leg, and helped me up. Later, when I returned to the teahouse, I saw that the gold and silver were long gone, and the corpses of Steward Sun and those family members on the ground were full of knife marks, which was obviously a fierce battle. Later, I came back with Wang Daochang. “
After speaking, Sima Zhengyang felt that his mouth was dry, so he cleared his throat and took a sip of tea. Sima Mo on the side was shocked and speechless for a long time, and it took five or six minutes before he came to his senses, let out a long breath, wiped the sweat on his head, as if he had just experienced the big battle, and then stood up and looked at Wang Daochang and bowed and said
"Thank you Wang Daochang for saving my father from danger, Wang Daochang is really powerful, please accept me as an apprentice!" After speaking, he knelt down to Wang Daochang.
Wang Daochang was stunned for a moment, then quickly put down the teacup and helped Sima Mo up, and said: "Son, don't do this great gift, poor Dao saving your father is just accumulating virtue for himself, don't need this, get up quickly." ”
Sima Zhengyang next to him smiled slightly, this is what he meant when he came to Wang Daochang today, although his son is very fond of it, but he can't let him be idle all the time, he should find someone to teach him some martial arts, his family is rich and rivals the country, and he doesn't need him to do anything, I just hope that he won't be bullied in the future. Seeing that Sima Mo was very smart and began to apprentice, he was secretly happy in his heart, and said in passing: "Haha, why didn't I think of it! Wang Daochang, you just accept the dog, you will be the gentleman of my Sima Mansion in the future, whatever you need, I will give you something!"
"Master Sima must not, the poor road never accepts apprentices, so don't be embarrassed by the poor road. Wang Daochang said apologetically.
When Sima Zhengyang heard it, this old way meant to reject himself. This is not good, I finally met such a master, and I must not let it go.
"Hey, forget it, since Wang Daochang doesn't look down on dogs, he has to give up, and I, Sima Zhengyang, am not a person who is difficult for a strong man. Sima Zhengyang said with a regretful face: "I have a copy of the Taoist "Dao Fa Hui Yuan" here, as a gift to the Taoist chief, in order to report the chief's life-saving grace." After speaking, he took out a Taoist scripture book from the bookcase on the side.
Wang Daochang looked at it, his eyes lit up, let go of Sima Mo and walked over, took it respectfully with trembling hands, stared at the scripture and said, "Where did the donor find it? This scripture has long been extinct in the rivers and lakes, how can it be here with you?"
"Oh, once a Taoist master gave it to me, I can't understand the mystery, it's useless to keep it, I want to come to the Taoist martial arts, and I must know the truth, so I gave it to the Taoist, and I hope the Taoist will smile. ”
"Laugh, I... I'm sure I'm smiling, it's wonderful!" Wang Daochang couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and looked straight at the scriptures. Sima Zhengyang showed a smile on his face at this time, in fact, this scripture was given to him by a master, obviously he once dug an ancient tomb and found it, it seems to be the tomb of a Taoist old man, and now he takes it out and gives it to Wang Daochang, but it is just a matter of returning to the source, and he does not feel distressed.
Wang Daochang smiled, quickly put the scriptures into his robe, clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply, and said, "Master Sima is very gracious, and the poor road will never be forgotten." As for Sima Gongzi, the poor road is indeed not accepting apprentices, and it is not easy to go down the mountain once, but the donor can let Gongzi go to the Yunwu Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Fancheng, that is, the Chongyang Sect to practice, I should recommend it to my senior brother in charge and do my best to help Gongzi. ”
"Really?haha! That's great! Mo'er didn't hurry up to thank the Dao Chief!" Sima Zhengyang was also extremely happy when he heard Dao Chang Wang's words, although this was expected, but he was still very excited to hear the Dao Chief say it himself.
"Sima Mo thank you, the aisle!" said Sima Mo.
"Well, don't thank me first, the path of cultivation is very hard, and it's not too late to thank Poor Dao when Gongzi can hold on and officially become a disciple of our sect. ”
"Then it's decided, Daoist Wang! You go back first, and I'll arrange for Mo'er to leave in the near future. Sima Zhengyang said happily.
"Okay donor, don't bother with the poor road, go back to the sect first, and there will be a period after the Sima donor. After saying that, Wang Daochang left with a smile, and when he walked into the courtyard, he didn't forget to touch the Taoist scripture on his chest. Excited as if getting a super treasure.
"Mo'er, you go and clean up too. “
"Yes, Father!"
