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

Chapter 359 Chapter 350
Seeing them go out, Duan Wuji chatted with the old Taoist priest and asked about the situation in the temple.

"Old Immortal, what is the name of the Daoist?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the name of Xiaodao is Juechen."

"Old Immortal, how long have you been a monk?"

"I have already forgotten how many years I have been a monk, you call a monk, what's the use of remembering those!

I only remember that I became a monk since I was a child, and I don’t remember anything else. "

"Oh, so that's the case! That old fairy, how old is this year?"

"I don't even remember this, you say a monk, why remember those things!

What does the secular calendar have to do with me, an outsider?

Occasionally come to the Seven Stars Temple and sleep on a stone.

Jiazi is still tossing, and the year is over, and I don't know the year. "

After singing, the old Taoist laughed loudly!

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old Immortal Elder, you are so tall! I didn't expect to practice to the point of ecstasy.

It's really admirable!

Hey, old fairy, who is the other person in your view?What is his name? "

"Oh! You asked him? You are my apprentice, Taoist name Xuankongzi, lay name Yuan Tiangang, he went out for alms this time, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

How can my little apprentice have the talents of the sky and the earth!

He is practicing a kind of mysterious forecasting knowledge. He said that he wants to understand the secrets of the heavens and write a wonderful book on forecasting in the future for future generations to appreciate.

I don't know if he can succeed! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Oh! So that's how it is! If he comes back this time, I have to learn from him, so it won't be in vain to come to this meditation once."

Juechen laughed and said, "How easy is it to learn that!

Poor Dao, I have been comprehending for so many years, but I still can't comprehend it. Who dares to say whether he can comprehend it! "

Duan Changhong and Duan Changhao saw that it was useless for Duan Wuji to talk to the old Taoist, so they had no choice but to leave the room and find a place where there was no one to rest.

The two brothers are not interested in these things!

My heart said, what kind of mess is this!

well!This Wuji is really free, so why bother with this old man!

How can we have the spare time to listen to that!

What bullshit mysterious forecasting!Can it be eaten as a meal?If it can be eaten as a meal, that would be great!
It doesn't matter if you don't listen to such gossip, it's better to find a place to sleep and have a good night's sleep.

It wasn't long, and the two brothers slept in a spare room with their silver bags on their pillows.

After about an hour, Tie Niu and Duan Changqing came back leading the horse, and the two of them lifted the things they bought off the horse one by one and put them into the kitchen.

The rain was still dripping, and the yard was muddy.

Tie Niu walked into the house and said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, I bought all those things. It cost 12 taels of silver in total. Do you want to go out and have a look?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I see what's the use of that!

Now that I bought it back, I think let's eat quickly.

Let's go to bed early after dinner!

Elder Immortal, there is no need to cook tonight.

I asked my brothers to buy some food from outside, let's have dinner together. "

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, since the little benefactor has bought it back, let the poor Daoist get a little light!

A few, then let's hurry over. "

Duan Wuji smiled and said to Duan Changqing: "Brother Changqing, go and call Brother Changhong and Brother Changhao over here! It's already dinner, why don't they wake up?"

"Then where are they?"

"Where can they be! They just found a spare room and went to sleep.

I think the two of them have been exhausted these past few days, after all, they have never been out of the house!

It's not easy for them to persevere until now when they come to such a far away place that they are unfamiliar with. "

Duan Changqing listened and nodded.

"Well, then I'll go find them."

After finishing speaking, Duan Changqing walked out quickly. After a short time, Duan Changqing led the two of them back.

A few people walked into the kitchen and saw that Tie Niu and the others bought a lot of rice noodles and so on!

Even if they live here for a month, they can't finish eating this little food!

Tieniu put the big pancakes he bought and various cooked dishes on the table, and also brought two jars of wine on the table.

Duan Wuji poured wine.

"Old Immortal, where can we not meet again in the world! Old Immortal, since we have met each other, this is fate, come, let's have a drink together!
Brothers, come, let's have a drink with the old fairy. "

The old man smiled and said: "Wuliang Tianzun, the little old man has not drunk alcohol for many years, but today is a distinguished guest, so I will accompany the distinguished guest to drink up the glass."

A few people ate, drank and chatted, and after a while, a few people were full of wine and food.

The old man said with a smile: "Let's take the horses into the house later, or the autumn rain this night will make them sick!

There is a spare room in my east wing, and there is nothing in it. You are just bringing your horses into it.

A few benefactors, this meal has also been eaten, I think you should rest early.

Pindao has to go back to that house to continue practicing, so I won't accompany you guys anymore, let's talk tomorrow if we have something to do.

There are exactly two rooms in the East Wing, where there are beds and quilts, and you are going to rest early, and you must be tired after traveling for such a long time.

Nothing to do, I went back to the room.

Hey, remember to close the gate of this temple in a while!Sleep like this and you should be more at ease! "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Don't worry, the elder fairy, we can't do anything about these things, so you can rest assured and practice."

Daoist Juechen turned around and went back to his room.

After Tie Niu ran over to close the door of the Seven Stars Temple, and locked the door, he, Duan Changqing and the others led the horse into the empty room, and then closed the door again.

Several people came to the room where they were staying, Duan Wuji looked at the brothers and said: "My brothers, you should rest quickly, I am on duty for the first half of the shift, I think you are already tired.

Hurry up and go to bed early. "

Tie Niu laughed and said: "Brother, you still know me, I'm tired enough today, if you don't tell me, I still want to ask you.

It's great of you to be on the first half of the shift, and I'm just in time for a good night's sleep.

Brother, don't worry, I will be on duty for the rest of the night, and I will replace you. "

Several people were all tired, and after going to bed, there was not much time, and they all fell asleep.

Duan Wuji sat cross-legged on the bed, monitoring the movement outside while practicing.

The rain outside was still falling non-stop, and the raindrops hit the roof tiles, making a slight sound, and the rain on the house dripped onto the ground again, making a dripping sound.

Everything appeared to be quiet and peaceful, Duan Wuji circulated his heart vessels, and practiced slowly little by little. After a while, he reached the state of ecstasy, and the white air above his head had already risen again.

The more Duan Wuji practiced, the more addicted he became. As soon as he practiced, he did not reach the fifth watch.

Until the iron ox turned over and sat up, and said softly: "Brother, stop practicing, you can sleep for a while, and let me, the iron ox, practice for a while.

You can rest assured to sleep. "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji lay down and began to sleep. After a while, Duan Wuji made a slight snoring sound.

After dawn, the rain outside was still ticking.

After everyone got up, Duan Wuji ordered: "Brother Changhong, Brother Changhao, you two brothers take our horses out and let them go for a while.

Brother Changqing, hurry up and go cook. "

The three brothers agreed and went out.

Tieniu looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Brother, what should I do? I'm so annoyed by not doing anything."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Go out and buy some cooked meat and come back, and buy some wine, let's continue to drink and eat meat!

There is nothing wrong now, what are you doing if you don’t eat!

If you don't eat or drink, who will you tell when you die? "

Tieniu laughed and said, "Okay, I'll go out right away.

Buy more this time and try to make enough for us to eat for a day.

Running back and forth all day is troublesome enough. "

"Well, okay! Go early and come back early, let's have dinner early when we come back.

After eating, we continue to rest. "

Tieniu stepped out.

Duan Wuji had nothing to do, so he walked straight to the room of the old man Juechen. When he entered the room, he saw that the old man was still practicing on the futon.

After Duan Wuji came in, the old man opened his eyes.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, little benefactor, how many monks are there in all of you!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old Immortal, why are you asking this?

There are five of us, all of whom are martial arts practitioners. All five of us practice, but my brother Tieniu and I practice for a little longer. "

"Oh, so that's the case! Then who was practicing last night?"

"Old Immortal, to tell you the truth, I was the one who practiced last night and the first half of the night.

When it was about to dawn, it was my brother Tieniu who was practicing.

Alas, old fairy, why can't you remember to ask this? "

"Well, that's right.

Last night, I was out of my mind and found that there was a white gas in the east wing room. It was exactly as you said, in the first half of the night.The white light was extremely intense.

When the sky was about to dawn, the white light suddenly became dim again. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so I asked you what was going on? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old Immortal, you even know this, that's really amazing!"

The old man laughed and said, "What's the point! Anyone with advanced cultivation can discover this. If you can't even discover this, then what kind of monk are you?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old Immortal, are you laughing at us?

Like you practicing kung fu in this room, we didn't find anything at all! "

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, little benefactor, to tell you the truth, this means that each method has its own strengths, and each method has its own shortcomings!

The kung fu you practice is not the same as the kung fu we practice, the test points are not the same!

You can't find out that we practice, that's also reasonable!

In fact, little benefactor, your kung fu is already very profound.

Well, let's eat!After dinner, I will teach you a question.

Come and test your chances in the future! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Okay, ok, ok, you see it's raining now, and we just happen to have nothing to do.

After dinner, I just want to communicate with you. "

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, little benefactor, let's make a deal."

At this moment, Duan Changqing shouted loudly: "Dinner is ready! Dinner is ready! Come and eat!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Old Immortal, let's go to eat, when we have nothing to do after eating, let's talk about the exchange!"

"Well, that's fine!"

After speaking, the two stood up and walked straight to the kitchen.
