different paths

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but there were fewer and fewer people in the store.After Shanzai left, bearers from the Beggar Gang and others came to pick them up soon, and the people from the Four Seas Sword League and Zhenyuan Escort also left in a hurry as if they were in a hurry.When Jia Wujue and Yue Chentan came out in the rain, there were only six people left in the store, including the broken man and the man in brocade who had been turning his back on everyone.

After the sound of thunder exploded, Gui Shoudong's eyes fell on the dancing candlelight on the table, and he said leisurely, "Boy, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see." The man in brocade who had been silent all this time chuckled, put down the wine glass he was playing with and turned around.With a face full of dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a suave demeanor, this person is none other than Gu Yiming.

"Why don't you stay in the capital and come here?" Gui Shoudong said in a familiar tone.

Gu Yiming smiled when he heard the words, and instead of answering, asked: "The five of you lived well in the valley, why did you come to such a remote place?"

Gui Shoudong immediately understood, and patted his head: "It seems that I am really old, and I can't even remember the rules of the valley."

"Since the old man wants to know, Yiming has nothing to hide." Gu Yiming smiled slightly, "My sister-in-law, who has never been married, has an accident, of course I have to visit, otherwise it would be a broken brotherhood."

"That's how it is." Gui Shoudong gave Gu Yiming a meaningful look, "Since it's a visit, why do you want to avoid people's eyes and ears?"

"Oh?"

"This old man has been waiting for the scene where the brothers and sisters will recognize each other, but unfortunately it didn't happen." Gui Shoudong said regretfully, "Otherwise, Old Yu might be able to compete with that kid."

Yu Shouxi nodded in agreement: "That's right."

"Competition?" Gu Yiming withdrew his smile slightly, "Mr. Yu actually intends to compete with my younger brother?"

"Your junior brother's skills, don't you know?" Gui Shou Dong was a little surprised, "His movement is fast and his lightness kung fu is wonderful. Among the five of us, only Lao Yu can compete with him." , he asked, "Do you know what kind of exercise he is practicing?"

Gu Yiming's eyes sank, and he said thoughtfully: "You are old and don't know the exercises taught by Gu Zhong? It's just such skills as lost steps, swallows copying water, although they are better than ordinary light skills, But if you want to compare it with Wu Lao's movement skills, it is naturally a big difference..."

"This is weird..." Gui Shoudong rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

"That kid's movement looks very familiar to me." Yu Shouxi said slowly.

"Could it be that Mr. Yu saw something?" Gu Yiming asked.

"Do you still remember the two questions I asked him?" Yu Shouxi said, "Actually, those two questions were also asked by others, but I was quite inexperienced at the time, and I couldn't find a suitable answer at all."

"Oh?" Gu Yiming's eyes flashed brightly, "What kind of person can live in old age?"

"Wu Ku." Yu Shouxi paused, and then added, "The Du Ku from Shaolin."

Dark night, heavy rain, dense forest.

In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, two figures are like swimming fish in the dense forest.The sound of rain, thunder, and leaves is endless, but there is no sound of human footsteps.

Walking through the forest without a sound, stepping on the water without a trace.

These two figures one in front and one behind, their qinggong is considered top-notch no matter what, but one of them is still not satisfied.

Jia Wuhai was very depressed at the moment.After seeing Yu Shouxi's kung fu in keeping his clothes from getting wet in the rainstorm, he decided to try it out with walking on the wind.Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, Yue Chentan followed him like a shadow.It would be fine if he was caught up by Yue Chentan in the past, but now that he has the newly learned lightness kung fu by his side, no matter how he thinks about it, he should be superior.Thinking of this, he thought of a competition.The wind is blowing under his feet, he walks faster and faster, the wind whistles by his ears, and the raindrops disperse when encountering the wind, and all of them float backwards. It is true that there is no rain on his body, but there is indeed a person behind him not far or near .

Still can't get rid of it?

Jia Wuyu was anxious, he circulated his true energy, raised his breath and jumped, and his whole body shot into the sky like a cannon.Before he had time to secretly rejoice, the whole person fell straight to the ground like a green onion.This is the first time Jia Wujuan has used the Walking on the Void Riding the Wind Step. Although this lightness kung fu is extremely wonderful, it is not easy to master it completely. If it is not enough, the breath will be confused and the control of the body will be lost.This was the case for Jia Wuchai at the moment. Compared to a kite with a broken string, he was more like a rubber ball, bouncing up and down in the air.He floated up as soon as the clear air flowed, and sank when the turbid air was disturbed. Regardless of whether he succeeded in getting rid of Yue Chentan or not, at this moment he had successfully confused himself.

Not far away, Yue Chentan stood still with his hands behind his back, admiring it for a while, and finally, with great kindness, he flew up and slapped Jia Wujia's two Jianjing points hard.Jia Wujue felt that the zhenqi in his body was withdrawn into his dantian suddenly, his body sank, and he fell straight down.He caught a glimpse of Yue Chentan standing on the ground, and he expected that the other party would never let him fall to the ground, so he put away his original panic.

"Snapped!"

It wasn't until Jia Wuhai was slapped in the mud all over the place that he fully realized how cruel the reality was.He was definitely not mistaken, just when he was about to bump into Yue Chentan, the other party dodged lightly, letting out the puddle of mud.

Jia Wuhai raised his head resentfully, his eyes moved from the feet next to his face to the face of the culprit——

This person was not guilty at all, but also had a vague expression of indignation.

"Qinggong still needs to be practiced well." Yue Chentan commented.

Jia Wukai grabbed a handful of mud balls in his hands, got up from the ground, rubbed his back molars and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Yue Chentan nodded "En" and said, "Let's go."

Looking at the back of the other party leaving calmly, Jia Wukai couldn't restrain himself, and threw the ball of mud in his hand towards Yue Chentan's tall and straight back.Originally, he only wanted to vent his anger, but he expected that the opponent would certainly be able to avoid such a low-level attack.Unexpectedly, Yue Chentan didn't respond to the "attack" from behind, and let the fist-sized mud ball leave a dirty mark on his back.

Jia Wuchao was stunned and stopped in his tracks.

Yue Chentan turned around, looked at the rotting mud balls at his feet, then looked at Jia Wuchai, and said calmly, "Have you not relieved your anger yet?"

Jia Wuchai felt a little embarrassed by the other party's non-blaming attitude, and said falteringly, "Aren't you angry..."

Yue Chentan carelessly kicked away the mud at his feet: "So what if you get angry, smash it back?" He looked at Jia Wuchai, raised his eyebrows, "Are you a child?"

Jia Wuchao choked for a moment, and then said: "Have you noticed that sometimes you have a bad temper, and sometimes you are very nice?"

Yue Chentan quickly glanced at Jia Wuchai, and then turned his back: "The elders are always more tolerant towards the younger." After saying this, he left without looking back.

"..." Jia Wujue felt that Yue Chentan's good temper must be his own illusion.

The sound of the rain is getting quieter, and the sky will be white.

On the other side of the bamboo forest, in front of a ruined temple, stood two beaming children.Seeing the figures of Jia Wuchao and the two of them, they immediately greeted them: "You two young heroes, my palace master has specially sent me to wait here, please follow me." Temple walk.

Jia Wujue followed behind the two of them, and calmly winked at Yue Chentan: "Yi Qingling sent someone to pick him up, there must be fraud."

Yue Chentan stepped into the temple expressionlessly, as if any tricks were not worth mentioning to him.

"Sit down for a while, both of you." The two boys confessed to Jia Wuhai and they wanted to leave.

The ruined temple was empty, except for the hay all over the ground, there were only two wooden Buddhas standing in the center.As soon as the cool breeze passed, Jia Wuchai shook involuntarily.

"Cold?" Yue Chentan glanced at him.

"fine--"

Before Jia Wu had finished speaking, he saw Yue Chentan walk up to a wooden Buddha and kicked it, the whole wooden Buddha fell down with a "boom".Seeing him again, he pointed to the sword, forced the internal force to the fingertips, and used the dry thatch as a guide, and the wooden Buddha burned blazingly in an instant.

Seeing this, the two children rushed towards the wooden Buddha, and shouted at Yue Chentan: "Young Xia, what are you doing! Why are you burning our wooden Buddha!"

All this happened so suddenly that Jia Wuhai didn't even have time to react, and a good wooden Buddha became firewood.He looked Yue Chentan up and down, carefully observing whether the other party showed signs of losing his mind.

Regrettably, Yue Chentan was not only not crazy, but also very calm.

He glanced at the two children, as if what he did was very reasonable and said: "Of course I am burning the relics."

The two boys frowned and said, "How can the wooden Buddha have any relics!"

Yue Chentan patted the ashes on his hands: "Since there is no relic, I will burn another one."

Just as he was about to stand up, there was a silver bell-like laughter from outside the temple: "As expected of Shaolin disciples, this machine strikes well. Langyue, Fanxing, take them away."

"Yes." The two boys, Lang Yue and Fan Xing, swept away the anger just now, looked at Yue Chentan and the two with a smile, and said, "The first level of the Palace Master has been passed, please go this way."

Jia Wujue praised: "Brother Yue's unintentional move actually broke Yi Qingling's first test. I admire him."

"It's not unintentional." Yue Chentan said calmly, "This is a case in Zen Buddhism, I just copied it."

"There are so many Zen gongan, why did Brother Yue think of using them here?" Jia Wujue asked in confusion.

"I heard that Yi Qingling is very fond of Zen theory, and is good at debating scriptures with Zen masters. Many of my classmates have been forced to refute without words by her." Yue Chentan did not answer his question directly, but said indifferently, "But there is a person, But it is a mountain that she will never be able to overcome."

"Which eminent monk is it?" Jia Wuchai asked curiously.

"Master Du Ku." Yue Chentan said, "After Master Du Ku retreated, Yi Qingling visited several times but failed. After writing hundreds of books, one of them finally got a reply from Master Du Ku. But since then, She never publicly challenged Shaolin monks again."

"So it's Master Overcoming Kuk." Jia Wujue suddenly said, "Then what did Yi Qingling ask in the letter?"

"Yi Qingling always starts with a question. If the other party's answer doesn't satisfy her, she will catch the flaws and go step by step until the question leaves the other party speechless. But this time, Master Du Ku, she miscalculated." Yue Chen Tan paused, and said, "She asked Uncle Du Ku how to practice hard as a monk?"

"How did Master Du Ku answer?"

"'Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired'." Yue Chentan said, "Master means that those who get it don't stick to form. Those who understand the Tao are nothing but the Tao. Those who understand the Dharma are nothing but the Dharma. The same is true for burning wooden Buddhas, since Yi Qingling agrees with Uncle Du Kuu's answer, even if the two wooden Buddhas are not erected for testing, burning one of them is harmless."

After he finished speaking, seeing Jia Wujue looking at him with emotion, he asked inexplicably, "What?"

Jia Wujue patted Yue Chentan on the shoulder: "After three days, I will treat you with admiration. Brother Yue, your sensitivity is far better than before!"

Yue Chentan pushed his hands away expressionlessly: "Thank you."
