The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 127 Chapter 120
Back home, Duan Wuji said to his father: "Father, our family has a lot of money now, let's hurry up and build a house during this slack season.

In the spring of next year, I will go to sell horses. From now on, I will hurry up to practice martial arts. All these things will depend on you and my brother. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Wuji, don't worry about building the house, you can make arrangements for your father.

From today on, you should hurry up and practice martial arts. You don't need to take care of everything at home, so don't worry about it. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Okay then, father, you can rest, I'm off to practice martial arts."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji stepped out of the yard.

In the following ten days, Duan Wuji seized the time to practice martial arts every day. He went for a long-distance run outside the village in the morning, practiced stick and sword skills during the day, practiced archery when he was tired, and practiced internal strength at night. It can be said that he used all his time up.

This morning, Tieniu led Duan Changqing, Duan Changhong, and Duan Changhao over on horseback.

The five brothers were very happy when they met. The five chatted for a while, and then practiced martial arts together.

That's when you practiced and I appeared on the stage again, the five people communicated with each other and learned from each other. Everyone shared their own martial arts and experience together, and the five people benefited a lot from each other.

In the evening, none of the four brothers left, and they all lived together after dinner.

Duan Wuji explained to them the method of practicing the new method of inner strength and the principles he realized from practicing inner strength. After the explanation, the five of them sat cross-legged on the kang and began to practice, and they fell asleep until the middle of the night.

The next day, Duan Wuji got up early, and then called four people to go out for a quick run. The five people came back when the sun was three shots. Several people ate something and continued to verify martial arts with each other. From boxing and kicking to horseback riding and archery, from new methods of internal strength to how to improve luck, there are all kinds of things.

The five of them stayed together for more than half a month. During these half a month, Duan Changqing, Duan Changhong, and Duan Changhao worked really hard.

This morning, Duan Changchun came suddenly. When Duan Changhong and Duan Changhao saw their grandfather coming, they immediately ran over.

"Grandpa, why are you here? Is there anything at home?"

Duan Yingchun laughed and said: "You have all lived here for half a month, your grandpa misses you very much, you are so close to home, you don't even talk about going back to see his old man.

This is not, let me call you today. "

Duan Changqing came over and took Duan Yingchun's hand and said, "Second Grandpa, is my grandpa's health okay?"

Duan Yingchun laughed and said: "Your grandpa is too old. He is already in his [-]s. Will he be in good health?"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Duan Yingchun: "Second Grandpa, I have that tiger bone wine at home, you can bring him two jars today, I heard that this stuff can nourish Qi and strengthen Yang, it is a great tonic! You moved two altars over today for him to try?"

Duan Yingchun smiled wryly after hearing this: "Wuji, why don't you give me such a precious thing?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "What is precious or not? Isn't it just two jars of wine? If drinking it is good for your body, come over and move it after drinking it. There are ten jars in my house."

After hearing this, Tieniu quickly said: "Second Grandpa, I also have ten jars of tiger bone wine at home. After drinking these two jars from Wuji's house, move a few jars from my house. Our family is young now, and this thing is kept at home. Let it go, why don't you let the third grandfather drink it."

After hearing this, Duan Yingchun was moved and said: "Tie Niu, thank you, let's talk about it after drinking the two jars of Wuji's house. If it's the most important thing, the jars of tiger meat wine in your house can't escape. Okay, let's That `s a deal.

Changqing, Changhong, why don't you follow your brother Wuji to move wine? "

The two agreed and followed Duan Wuji into the room, and after a while they came out carrying two jars of wine.

Duan Yingchun said to the two people: "You carry the wine jar and go first, Chang Hao and I will lead the horses for you.

Be careful, on the road, don't drop the wine jar. "

The two laughed and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, we won't be so worthless."

The two of them moved forward carrying the wine jar, and then Duan Yingchun and Duan Changhao followed behind, leading the horse.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu sent them away from the gate before turning back.

Tieniu looked at Duan Tianji and said with a smile: "How nice do you think he is? I have only been out for a few days and some people think, what about me, even if I have been out for three years, no one will ask.

I say that grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love, who calls me the boss! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Tieniu, why are you complaining? If you are full of complaints, you will be heartbroken!

Uncle and aunt know that you live in our house, what are they worried about?

If I stay at your house, my parents won't look for me, so why worry about food and drink?

Okay, okay, let's stop talking about these things, let's practice martial arts. "

The two stood up, and immediately started practicing boxing and kicking in the yard. They didn't stop practicing until noon.

After lunch, the two went back to the West Wing to rest. Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said, "Brother Tieniu, we've been staying at home for almost two months, and I'm getting a little annoyed by practicing martial arts every day. I plan to go out and play for a while in a few days, let's part in a few days, let's discuss martial arts together when I come back."

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, where are you going to play? Have you figured out where to go? You say you are annoying, brother, I am even more annoyed. Fortunately, you are my company during this time, otherwise I would not be able to stay any longer.

Brother, how can this trip not take me?What a joy to travel with me as your company. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I haven't decided where to go, but I just went for a walk, and I went out to practice my footwork.

You said that we have been wearing this sandbag for almost a year, and I don’t know when we will practice this skill of stepping on the snow without a trace. Recently, I am very annoyed.

This time I go out, I plan not to ride a horse, but to walk, wherever I go, anyway, I will just come back during the Chinese New Year. "

Tie Niu heard this and said: "Okay, then don't ride a horse, shall we still take the horse?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Take it, our horses are psychic, can't we just lead them for a walk, and it will be more convenient for us when we need them.

Brother Tieniu, what do you think? "

"Well, that's fine too. Hey, brother, when do you think we're leaving? How much money do we bring with us?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said, "Can we go out the day after tomorrow? As for how much money we should bring? I think each of us can bring 300 taels of scattered silver. Isn't it just over two months in total? This amount of money is enough gone."

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Okay! Let's settle that.

Well, I'm going home now, one is to tell my parents, and the other is to bring the money.

Brother, you rest first, I'm going home. "

After speaking, Tieniu turned around and went out.

Duan Wuji sat cross-legged on the kang, and immediately began to meditate. Duan Wuji didn't finish his practice until the sun went down.

When it was time to light up the lamp, Duan Wuji walked into the main room and saw Duan Yanqing sitting on the Eight Immortals table drinking tea.

Duan Wuji sat beside his father and whispered: "Father, I've been very annoying recently. I plan to go out with my brother Tieniu for a while. Tomorrow, you can prepare me 300 taels of scattered silver. It will be handy for us on the road." .”

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "How can 300 taels of silver be enough? Let me prepare 400 taels of silver for you tomorrow.

Wuji, I'm not afraid if you go out to play, but don't cause trouble for me on the road! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Father, see what you said? I'm so honest, what troubles can I cause on the road? My kind of person, Dad, don't you know?"

At this moment, Duan Changsheng came out from the back room. Hearing the conversation between the two, Duan Changsheng smiled and said, "Father, what's the use of talking to him like that? Hey, he's honest, he's honest. What do you say?" When will he be honest? Of course, except when he is asleep."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother, no matter how you say it, it's fine if I'm honest, can I be so honest all day long? I don't fight back when someone beats me, and if I don't fight back when someone scolds me, it's okay? If that's the case, wouldn't I be dead?"

"Father, haven't you heard what Er Dan said? It's still dishonest after talking about it for a long time? Coupled with the bad mother and son of Tie Niu, maybe something bad will happen."

Duan Yanqing smiled wryly after hearing this: "Hey, this is a big deal, so let's go anyway, as long as they don't suffer from going out.

Promise!Let's not cause trouble when we go out, and don't be afraid of trouble if something happens, as long as we don't suffer.

Well, the rice should be cooked, let's eat, what's the point of arguing about it. "

After a while, Liu Caihua brought the food, and the family sat together for dinner.

As soon as Liu Caihua heard that her youngest son was going out again, she hurriedly looked for clothes for Duan Wuji all night, washing and sewing what needed to be done.It was not until midnight that Duan Wuji's luggage was packed.

Duan Wuji returned to the West Wing, sat cross-legged on the kang to practice, and did not fall asleep until midnight.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji still got up early, tied up sandbags and went for a long-distance run. After running for twenty miles, Duan Wuji turned around and ran back. When he got home, the sun had already set three poles.

Duan Wuji wiped off the sweat from his face and went back to the room to eat something, then went back to the West Wing to rest for a while, not much time, that Wang Jinhua walked in.

Wang Jinhua looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Wuji, I heard that you are going out tomorrow, you have to be careful on the way!

You must not cause trouble on the road!Lest people worry about you. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, I will pay attention to it, so you can rest assured. You said that I didn't even marry a married woman. Do I dare to cause trouble?"

Wang Jinhuahua blushed when she heard this, and muttered softly, "Who told you not to marry?"

Duan Wuji saw that there was no one outside, he hugged Wang Jinhua fiercely, and kissed Wang Jinhua fiercely on the face twice.

Wang Jinhua's face was flushed into a red cloth, Wang Jinhua gently pushed Duan Wuji away, and ran out.

At this moment, the iron ox walked in quickly.

"Brother, I have everything ready, no, money and clothes are all wrapped inside!"

With that said, Tieniu gently put his little burden on the kang, and the two of them walked out of the yard and immediately started practicing martial arts.

At noon, the two came to the dining table and had a meal in a hurry.The two returned to the West Wing to discuss which direction to go tomorrow.

Tieniu looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Brother, tell me which direction we are going tomorrow?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Brother Tieniu, I think we can still go in the direction of the capital. Let's go find that old man and see how the old man is doing. By the way, let's kick Huashan again. That mountain is really interesting, and it’s just for physical training, if we practice in that place for a month, our skills will definitely grow.”

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well, well, if you are willing to climb Mount Hua, then let's go, the place is beautiful, but the mountain is too steep, and it is a bit strenuous to climb that mountain!

However, it's not that we haven't stepped on that mountain, and it's nothing special.

To be honest, that old man Liaochen is pretty good, but the bad idea he gave us has made us miserable.

Alas, I don't know if the skill of stepping on the snow and Wuhen can be practiced, you see what happened. "

After everything was discussed, Duan Wuji walked to the main room. Duan Wuji asked his father for 400 taels of scattered silver to wrap it up. The two went to the yard to practice martial arts for a while until the sun turned west. The talent returned to the West Wing to continue practicing the new method of inner strength.

It wasn't until the sun went down that the two of them ended their practice.

The two of them went back to the main room and ate something, then hurried back to the West Wing. They practiced their inner strength for a while and went to bed early.
