Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 5

After a while, one night, when Wu Xian was cooking in the ruined temple, the old man Li mysteriously handed Wu Xian a medical book, which marked the acupuncture points and meridians of the human body in detail, which surprised Wu Xian. .

Wu Xian embraced the secret book and medical skills tightly. This yellowed book, with its ethereal steps and posture, is really a dream. The world is prosperous and the vicissitudes of the world are seen, and it is not in vain to live a lifetime.

Old man Li ate rotten vegetable porridge, took a sip of wine, laughed and said: "Look at your worthless appearance, don't hold the secret book all day, first memorize the secret book and then hide it, so as not to be discovered by others. The important thing is that when you practice, choose a time when no one is there, and don't reveal it in front of outsiders, so as not to cause trouble for our grandparents."

I don't know if he was in a hurry to drink, or he was choking on the hot food. Old man Li coughed violently, and his face also turned from red to white, but in an instant. "Master Li, are you okay?" Wu Xian hurried over, patted Old Man Li on the shoulder and asked concerned.

Old man Li laughed and didn't care: "It's okay, I'm sick, just drink a sip of wine and it will be fine." Then he took another sip of wine.

Although the rivers and lakes are chaotic, the vicinity of Dadu is still calm. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor. Even the soldiers of the Tartars have restrained themselves, and people in the rivers and lakes dare not make mistakes. In the past year, the red apricot has made a little success in stepping on the branches.

Wu Xian joined the Beggars' Gang and became a glorious new bagless disciple of the Beggars' Gang. The Huimeng Heart Sutra and Sleeping Arhat Boxing that Wu Xian learned were passed down by Hong Qigong's disciples. The gang is now divided and declining, and its reputation is far less than before, but I have received the Sleeping Arhat Fist, so I will credit all the favors to the beggars' gang.

Wu Xian also learned some basic martial arts of the beggar gang, the basic breathing method of lotus flower falling, the basic fist palm martial arts lotus palm and copper hammer hand, the basic leg skills iron broom leg method, and the basic stick martial arts dog fighting stick method.

"Master Li, how long do we have to stay in Dadu? I have to say that you are a great man. Look at me, I am fat and fat." Wu Xian lowered his head to look at his fat and tender hands and body, and blamed Mr. Li. But such a white and fat person can't win sympathy, and can't beg for food.In the past year, Wu Xian has become fat, but old man Li's body has become weak. Recently, he often coughs non-stop, and the two of them have no money to see a doctor.

Old man Li laughed, and said, "Leave when you want to go." Mainly, old man Li didn't want Wu Xian to travel all the way at a young age, eat and sleep in the open, so he stayed in Dadu for so long.

Wu Xian said rather critically: "Master Li, have you ever seen such a white and fat beggar like me? I have been begging for the past few days, and I can't collect a few pennies. I have to find a way to make a living."

Old man Li looked at some thin booklets edited by Wu Xian next to him, pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "You mean that pile of torn blue books, how much are they worth, I can pick them up outside Qian Xueshi's mansion tomorrow." So many."

Wu Xian chuckled and said nothing, every boy has a dream of being a hero, Wu Xian himself is not too sure, anyway, he is idle, just writing, drawing, tinkering and playing. "By the way, Master Li, how much money do we have? You have been coughing a lot lately. Find a doctor to take a look."

Old man Li's eyes flickered, and he said: "I know my body, it's nothing serious, a drink of wine can cure all diseases." Seeing that old man Li didn't answer, Wu Xian sighed, and there was nothing he could do. Empty and penniless.

The moon sets and the sky dawns, and the dawn has not yet risen. Practice the exercises in the summer and the winter.

At the third watch, Wu Xian immediately sat cross-legged to practice kung fu after waking up, turning back to the Dream Heart Sutra, and the one-year kung fu slowly circulated in the body, increasing slightly insignificantly.

Then practiced boxing, legs, palms, and sticks. The whole body was drenched in sweat after practicing, and there was a whistle unconsciously. At this moment, the wind blew gently, and autumn leaves fluttered in the wind. Wu Xian mentioned In one breath, he leaped to the top of the tree, and then stepped, stepped, jumped, and stretched, it was really elegant, light, and changeable.

Old man Li arrived under the tree at some point, looked at Wu Xian who was practicing with admiration in his eyes, and smiled gratifiedly while stroking his gray beard.

"Master Li, when did you come here?" Wu Xian quickly came to Old Man Li's side, the brilliance of lightness kung fu can be seen, it is said that Wu Xian is really like the reincarnation of an Arhat, with unsurpassed talent, he can master any martial arts as soon as he learns it, he is really a martial arts genius .

"That's right, that's right. In just one year, the lightness kung fu has surpassed my ability." Old man Li stroked his beard and smiled, his words were full of pride.

The two ate two steamed buns each, and old man Li went out to beg, while Wu Xian was ready to start a business with his secret book in his arms.When I came to Dadu Street, many pedestrians and knights shuttled through the downtown area, and there were also young children singing nursery rhymes on the street corners.

Wu Xian was sitting on a high stone platform, watching all kinds of beings, suddenly, Wu Xian's eyes flashed, he went down, then hurried over and fell in the middle of the road, Wu Xian acted as if nothing happened, Standing up and shaking the corners of his clothes, he sneaked into a remote alley.

Wu Xian glanced sideways, but no one was following him, then flicked his sleeve lightly, a pearl hairpin fell into his hand, the pearl hairpin he looked at squinted was carved out of gold thread, looking magnificent, with two huge pearl pendants on both sides , secretly rejoicing in his heart, now there is hope for Li Ye's money for medical treatment.

"Hey, why are you stealing from me?" A voice as crisp as a lark sounded, Wu Xian was startled, quickly calmed down, quietly shot the pearl hairpin into his treasure bag, turned around and said innocently : "What are you talking about, I don't know." Immediately, as if there was no one else around, humming a tune and preparing to leave.

The little girl stretched out her hands, and her small body blocked Wu Xian, preventing Wu Xian from going forward.

Wu Xian puffed up his chest, with sharp and fierce eyes, stretched out his little finger of his right hand, and said contemptuously, "I'm going to go today, you're not even a dick, what do you want to do?"

The streets were patrolled by people, the little girl was clever and cunning, her hands were clasped into trumpet shapes, and she was gesturing to shout, Wu Xian's heart tightened, seeing that the little girl with pigtails was a Mongolian, dressed beautifully, wearing gold hairpins and jade beads, and a jade ring on her waist There was a clear sound, thinking that if I could run away like a monk, I would not be able to run away from the temple, and I would get angry and hurt the old beggar. I was really regretful in my heart, but my face was still calm and calm, and there was no trace of panic.

Wait until someone catches her, regardless of whether the search finds dirty things, according to the little girl's family background and status, she is doomed.

Wu Xian saw that the little girl was treacherous and cunning, and it was not easy to fool her at all, but although she was about to shout, she didn't open her mouth, so she hurriedly stopped her body.

"Don't be so stubborn now." The little girl said with a smile, her voice was clear and clear, her black and white jade-like eyes were shining brightly, she looked like a very clever girl.

Wu Xian argued forcefully: "You say that I stole your pearl hairpin, or I stole your pearl hairpin. Do you have any evidence?"

"I put the pearl hairpin there with my own hands. Two people have already picked up my pearl hairpin, and now they have been beheaded to show the public. You are the third one. Besides, I have my father backing me. If you want to chop off anyone Who." The little girl smiled mischievously, her eyes narrowed slightly like a crescent moon hanging from the sky, and she poked her head from time to time, wanting to see Wu Xian's surprised and terrified appearance.
