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

Chapter 134 Chapter 120

When the folks heard that there was still a banquet to go to in the evening, they were overjoyed, and everyone helped to make arrangements.

Duan Wuji smiled, then turned and went back to sleep in the room.When it was getting dark, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu were called up, and they went to the yard, only to see that the yard was brightly lit, and more than a dozen tables of banquets had already been set up.

Adults and children filled the entire yard, and the two of them were arranged to sit down in the VIP seats.

Hou Guantang said to all the neighbors with a happy face: "Folks, today is my daughter's engagement banquet, welcome everyone to attend my daughter's engagement banquet, everyone must eat and drink well today!

Everyone must know Jin Ping's future husband. My son-in-law is highly skilled in martial arts, has outstanding character, and he is also a wealthy family. This is my blessing from Jin Ping's cultivation!

Come, come, come, let's all hold up our wine glasses, let's eat and drink. "

The whole yard suddenly became lively, and the sound of punching and ordering suddenly rang out, and the whole yard was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

Duan Wuji picked up the chopsticks and ate it all the time. When Tieniu saw his brother like this, he was not polite, so he picked up the chopsticks and competed with Duan Wuji. The two of them were fighting for each other!

There is not much time, and two people are full.

Everyone knew these two people, and they all knew what they were capable of, so they couldn't stop pointing at them.

When Duan Wuji saw this, he pulled the iron bull with his hands, and the two of them quietly left the stage. When they returned to the house, they sat cross-legged on the kang and began to meditate. The time was not long, and the two of them were immersed in the cultivation. .

The next morning, the two of them got up early, packed up their things, ate a little breakfast and started on the road.

The old Hou's family sent them all the way to the official road, Hou Guantang took Duan Wuji's hand and said: "My benefactor, you see that you have secured this matchmaker. When do you think they will get married?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Old man, what do your family members think? Can you tell me and listen?"

Hou Guantang listened and smiled.

"Of course our family hopes that the sooner the better, even if you marry her away tomorrow, our family won't have any objections."

Duan Wuji looked at Hou Jinping with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, how are you? Tell me and let me hear."

Hou Jinping blushed when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "My father's opinion is our family's opinion, and he bowed his head after speaking."

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu again.

"Brother Tieniu, what do you think? Can you tell me too?"

Tieniu thought for a while and said, "My idea is that I will marry her next year when we earn money from selling horses. Brother, what do you think about this matter?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Let's wait until May or June next year, we will come to greet the relatives then."

Hou Guantang nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, okay, then we've settled on this. You two, you should be more careful along the way!"

The two got on their horses and immediately rode their horses straight to the direction of Mount Hua.Along the way, the two of them were hungry for food and drink, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight. After two days of hard work, the two of them finally arrived at the foot of Mount Hua. Tongtianguan took a look, only to see that the scenery remained the same, without any change.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu tied the horses to the village in the yard, and walked straight to the room where Yin and Liaochen lived.

When I entered the room, I saw Chen sleeping in the room alone. The two couldn't bear to be scratched, and retreated from the room again.

The two of them went to the room they lived in and took a look, only to see that nothing in the room had been touched at all, and the quilt on the kang was still there.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the kang and began to meditate. An hour later, Liao Chen came out of the house. When Liao Chen saw the two horses tied in the yard, he recognized them immediately. The two horses were raised here. Can you not know each other after such a long time?

Liao Chen pulled out a basket of green grass to feed the two horses, and then waited quietly for Duan Wuji and Tie Niu to come out.

After waiting for a while, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu had rested enough, they walked out of the room, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu saw that Liao Chen was sitting under a tree watching two horses grazing, hurry up Came over to talk to Chen.

Liao Chen looked at Duan Wuji and Tie Niu and said, "You two benefactors, how long have you been here? Do you think my firewood is about to run out, so you came to buy me firewood again?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master Liaochen, we are here, do we still need to worry about the daily necessities? Don't worry, you don't need to worry about those little things."

Liaochen laughed when he heard this.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, benefactor, as the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. This person is iron, and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry. Why is this trivial matter?"

Tie Niu looked at Chen and said, "Old Immortal, why didn't you see Daoist Yin? Where did Master Yin go?"

Liao Chen laughed and said, "He! He went home to visit his relatives, and he has been away for more than 20 days. Hey, he has been a monk for nearly 40 years, so it's time to go home."

"Master Liaochen, where is the origin of Master Liaoyin? Why hasn't he returned home for so many years?"

Daoist Liaochen smiled.

"I heard that he is from Sichuan. Sichuan is thousands of miles away from us. How can we go back as soon as we want? Was there no cost on the way?
Our monks are extremely poor and miserable, and we may have to save up for a trip home for many years before we dare to go back.

Little benefactor, the last time I went home, if you hadn’t given me such a small amount of silver, I might have received a lot of stares when I went home. These things are not something you people can understand. "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu listened and nodded.

"Two benefactors, is there anything wrong with your visit to Tongtian Temple this time? Tell me if you have any."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master Liaochen, to tell you the truth, we are here on a trip this time, thinking that we are destined to be with you, so we want to come and visit you.

By the way, I will stay with you for a few more days, and we will climb Huashan Mountain to appreciate the scenery of Huashan Mountain after autumn. "

Liao Chen twisted his beard and smiled.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, since the two benefactors have nothing to do, I can rest assured. You can live in this temple as you like, and I will feed your horses for you, so you can rest assured to play. Who told us that we are destined?"

Duan Wuji smiled slightly. "Then I would like to thank Master Chen."

Liaochen laughed when he heard this.

"You two benefactors, what are you thanking me for? To be honest, I should be the one thanking you. The rice noodles you bought for Xiaodao last time were enough for us to eat for the Chinese New Year, but when the Chinese New Year is over, Xiaoguanbu has to be broken. cooking?

You are here this time, why don't you have to buy some more for Pindao before you leave?Isn't this what I have to thank you for? "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu took down their belongings and put them on the kang, Duan Wuji pulled Niu Tie with his hand.

"Brother Tieniu, let's go, let's run on the river beach, let's stop resting."

The two of them said hello to Liao Chen, then ran out in a hurry and came to the beach. The two of them ran to the distance quickly. The two of them ran for thirty miles, and when they were tired, they sat on the beach. rest.

After resting for a while, the two turned around and ran back. When they came back, the two of them were tired and sweaty.

When the two returned to Tongtian Temple, Liao Chen had already cooked the meal, and the three of them sat around the small table and ate some food.

Liao Chen looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Little benefactor, where did you go to play this afternoon?"

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "My brother and I went for a run on the beach by the river. Master, what's the matter?"

"Well, it's all right. Hey, little benefactor, are you still tied the sandbag?"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "It's tied, we've been tying sandbags for almost a year, how come we haven't practiced the skill of stepping on the snow without a trace?"

Liao Chen listened and said with a smile: "Little benefactor, do you think that stepping Xue Wuhen's kung fu is so easy to practice? If it is so easy to practice, can it still be called a peerless martial art?
I think it was because I thought it was too hard to practice this kung fu, so I failed to practice it after three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. You two must not learn from me! "

Tieniu laughed and said, "Master Liaochen, who knows how long we can last? However, we have made a lot of progress in less than a year of training. Now we feel that we are full of strength. This That's enough."

Liao Chen laughed and said, "You two benefactors, I'll see how you run in a few days."

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Okay! Teacher, father, you are welcome to guide us in a few days."

Tieniu looked at Chen and said: "Master Liaochen, our food at Tongtianguan is too bland. It would be nice if there was some meat."

Duan Wuji listened to Tieniu.

"Brother Tieniu, don't talk about those useless things. How can monks eat meat? Isn't that breaking the precept? It's okay, it's okay, let's go to bed quickly."

Liao Chen laughed and said: "Little benefactor, our Taoism is different from Buddhism, there is no such thing as breaking the precepts or not breaking the precepts in our school, the reason why we are vegetarians is because financial resources do not allow it, if allowed, eating some meat is still allowed. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Since that's the case, let's buy him a hundred catties of fresh meat tomorrow, so that we can save two dollars.

Brother Tieniu, we don't have much money now, let's save some money. "

Tie Niu listened and nodded. "Okay, we'll do that tomorrow."

After speaking, the two went back to their room to practice.

In the morning of the next day, the two had something to eat at the restaurant, and immediately went to Huashan Mountain. After descending the mountain at noon, the two bought a piece of pork and another [-] catties of beef, and then went straight to Huashan Mountain with the meat between them. Tongtian Temple is coming.

After entering the temple, the two of them gave the meat to Chen, and then they went back to their room to rest.

After a while, a smell of meat wafted out, and after a while, Daoist Daochen shouted loudly: "You two benefactors, come out to eat."

The two walked out of the house, the three ate around the small table, the two rested in the house for a while, and went for a run on the beach by the river in the afternoon.

The two of them spent more than 20 days at Tongtian Temple. During these 20 days, they went to climb Huashan Mountain every morning and went for a run in the sand by the river in the afternoon. These 20 days never stopped.

This afternoon, the two of them returned to the Tongtian Temple after running, only to see that Daoist Yin had returned.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Master, when did you come back?"

"Well, it's been less than an hour since I came back."

Duan Wuji went into the room and said to Chen: "Master Liao Chen, since Master Yin is back, let's cook a few more dishes tonight, let's follow Master Yin to clean up the dust."

Liao Chen nodded.

"Okay, that's what I mean too.
You two go to rest first, and I will call you after cooking. Let's have a few drinks together tonight. "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji and Tieniu went back to the house immediately.
