"Ah Huang!" Zhang Taiping scolded, and Ah Huang obediently stopped barking.

The man stopped looking this way and continued to climb the stairs. At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky. Between the trees, he could see two big birds hovering in the blue sky.

The man stepped out and stopped again. He became interested in Zhang Taiping and the others. He turned around and asked, "Are those two big eagles in the sky yours?"

From the ground, Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng, who looked a bit mutated, did look a bit like eagles. Zhang Taiping did not explain, but just nodded.

"So you also raised these big dogs?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Not bad!"

The man added: "I see that your big dog looks like the ghost-faced Tibetan Mastiff on the edge of Tianshan Mountain. It is a very good Tibetan Mastiff, and what's even more rare is that it can be so obedient. The other two can also see some clues, only just now

That one looks a little weird. I’ve seen a lot of dogs. I’m blinded today. I wonder what kind of dog this is?”

Zhang Taiping laughed and said, "This is just a local dog."

"A native dog?" the man wondered, "It's a wonder that a native dog can grow so big."

Zhang Taiping smiled slightly and said nothing.

The man didn't take it seriously, and turned around again and continued to climb the stairs. Ponytail who was following her turned back and glanced at Zhang Taiping and the others. She had never seen the man in front of her take the initiative to talk to a stranger about eagle dogs. Some

curious.

The two of them walked to the top of the steps and disappeared into the Taoist temple.

Cai Xiaomei looked at the direction in which she disappeared and said, "These two are not simple people."

Zhang Taiping nodded. Some people are born with a temperament that is different from ordinary people. Even if they are in the mountains and wearing ordinary clothes, they can't hide that kind of self-confidence that comes from the soul.

"There is another Taoist temple here, let's go! Let's go in and have a look." After saying that, Fan Ming took the lead and ran up the steps.

Zhang Taiping asked from behind: "Your feet don't hurt now?" Zhang Taiping and the others followed them up the steps.

When you walk into the Taoist temple, in addition to the smell of burning incense, there is also the morning tea, a specialty of this mountain. The morning tea picked in the early morning before the sun comes up and the dew disappears does not need to be fried, and it naturally carries the fragrance of the mountain soil.

.

There are two Taoist priests living in the Taoist temple, an old one and a young one. The old Taoist priest is sitting on both sides of the Eight Immortals table with the man. He stands behind the man with his ponytail holding a wooden box. The young Taoist priest is pouring tea for the two of them.

The young Taoist priest also brought a bowl of tea to Ponytail, but Ponytail did not take it and shook his head slightly.

The man picked up the tea and smelled it first, then took a sip and praised: "Not bad."

When the old Taoist priest saw someone else coming in, he picked up the tea cup and laughed again after seeing clearly that it was Zhang Taiping and said: "I didn't expect that the commander came here and went to the mountains to collect medicine again?"

Zhang Taiping didn't expect that an acquaintance lived here. This Taoist priest named Ma had once been to his home to play chess with the old man. He smiled and replied, "I didn't expect Taoist Master Ma to live here either. This time I went into the mountain.

Those who collect herbs are just here to pick up some things."

Taoist Master Ma said: "If you are not in a hurry, just sit down and have a cup of tea."

Zhang Taiping said: "If Taoist Master Ma has guests, I won't disturb them."

"It's okay, sit down and try the new tea I picked, and go back and bring some to the old man," Taoist Master Ma said.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Zhang Taiping bowed his hands and sat on the bamboo chair brought by the young Taoist priest.

When the man saw the old Taoist priest asking Zhang Taiping to sit down, he didn't say anything. He drank a cup of tea silently and put down the cup. At the same time, Taoist Master Ma also put down the cup.

Zhang Taiping felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere since he entered the Taoist temple. Now looking at the scene between the two of them, he knew that the visitor was unkind. So he sat down, otherwise he would not join in when others were entertaining guests.

When the man was about to speak, a monkey wearing clothes suddenly jumped out from the door of the Taoist temple. The man was slightly surprised and closed his mouth again.

The one who came in was naturally Wukong. After he came in, he was smiling like Wukong in Journey to the West and waving his hands outside. A moment later, monkeys who had been wearing clothes jumped in. They were holding unknown monkeys in their hands.

Where can I find wild fruits? I can actually find them in the middle of winter. Only these darlings of the mountains can have this skill.

The man asked Taoist Master Ma, "Are these two little monkeys raised by the Taoist Master?"

Taoist Master Ma smiled and shook his head and said: "I am not raised by an experienced Taoist. The experienced Taoist does not have this ability yet."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "You came with me."

After Wukong came in, he saw the young Taoist priest holding a teapot in his hand. His eyes lit up and he jumped to him and tried to snatch the teapot away. However, the young Taoist priest was not weak in martial arts and easily dodged it. Remember Wukong

Jumping up and down and screaming.

Taoist Ma smiled and said: "Qingmu, stop teasing it and add two more bowls."

The young Taoist priest known as Qingmu took two more wooden bowls and poured a bowl of tea for each of the two monkeys.

Wukong and the others were really thirsty. He picked up the bowl and drank all the tea with a bang. Then he jumped to the Eight Immortals table and looked at the people around them curiously.

Zhang Taiping waved his hand and drove Wukong away. There must be something to discuss here, and he couldn't let him cause trouble here.

The man said: "I have been in the mountains since the first day of junior high school. Yesterday I went to Laojun Temple in the west of Shanxi to meet the master of Laojun Temple. Today I came here specifically to learn from Taoist Master Ma's clever tricks."

Since we had already entered the mountain yesterday and were still able to come here today, it means that the master of Laojun Temple has failed.

Taoist Master Ma smiled and said: "Since Donor Ye wants to weigh the old Taoist's weight, the old Taoist can only accompany him."

Aoki, who was in charge of pouring tea next to him, said: "Master, let me ask Donor Ye for some tips."

Taoist Master Ma shook his head and said: "Your kung fu is still far behind. Go over and get my sword."

Taoist Aoki walked to the statue of Emperor Zhenwu and took off the sword from the statue's hand and put it in the hand of the old Taoist priest.

The man surnamed Ye stood up from the Eight Immortals table. He opened the wooden box in his arms with his ponytail, took out a three-foot long knife and put it in the hand of the man surnamed Ye.

"Please!" Taoist Master Ma took out his sword and made a gesture of invitation.

The man surnamed Ye stood opposite him, took out his long sword from its sheath, looked at Taoist Master Ma and said, "I hope that the Taoist Master will not hesitate to teach me." After saying that, the long sword slashed across a semicircular light towards Taoist Master Ma.

.

Taoist Master Ma waved his sword to meet him, and the clanging sound of swords clashing could be heard in the air.

The two little monkeys felt the biting cold light around the two fighting men, as if they had been stabbed in the butt by a needle, and jumped far away before stopping. The big dogs also felt the great crisis, and they all exploded.

All the hair on the body grew.

Fan Ming said in a low voice, a little stunned: "I didn't expect that there really are swordsmen and swordsmen like those shown on TV. I wonder if there are still so-called rivers and lakes?"

Cai Xiaomei tilted her head and said: "What are rivers and lakes? Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. No matter what era you come to, rivers and lakes will not disappear, but ordinary people cannot touch their existence."

Zhang Taiping listened to the conversation between the two but did not say anything. The concept of the word "jianghu" was now very vague, and he could not explain whether there were still real "jianghu" for pure warriors. He squinted his eyes and looked at the two people carefully. moves.

The sword is the king of weapons. It is also a holy item in ancient times. It is the most noble and revered by humans and gods. It is the ancestor of short-range weapons and a weapon for close combat. It has become a legend because of its profound Taoist skills. In fact, because of its lightness, it is easy to carry. The charm of wearing it and the quickness of its use have made all the princes, emperors, scribes, knights, merchants and common people of all dynasties proud to wear it.

The sword is the tyrant among soldiers and is known for its forward momentum. Compared with the elegance and lightness of the sword, the sword is more brutal and domineering.

Some people say that "swords are worn by gentlemen, and swords are used by thieves." This somewhat exaggerates the sword and suppresses the sword. In fact, many people are attracted to the brave and wild character of the sword. Especially in later generations, the use of swords There are more people who use the sword than those who use it. This is due to the simplicity and wildness of using the sword. Even a person who cannot use the sword can still dance like a tiger.
