"Brother Zhao is joking. You have acquired peak martial arts skills at such a young age. If you claim to be incapable of becoming an elegant person, then no one in this world would dare to say so. When I was as young as you,
I am just a young monk and nun in the Shaolin Temple. Compared with you, I am really far behind. In time, my achievements will be higher than mine." Zhang Sanfeng looked at Zhao Kai and said with a smile.
Chang Yuchun on the side straightened his eyes after hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words. He knew that Zhao Kai was highly skilled in martial arts, but he didn't know that the young man in front of him, who smiled harmlessly, had already reached the peak of his acquired skills.
, then doesn’t it mean that as long as the other party takes one more step forward, he will be able to enter the ranks of innate masters. He couldn’t help but admire Zhao Kai.
"Brother Zhang is a late bloomer, so don't laugh at me here. By the way, it seems that we have arrived at the Taiping store. Everyone is also hungry. I will go to the nearby town to buy some things first." Zhao Kai said with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, it's better not to show your face now. Let me ask the boatman to go to town and buy us some food." Zhang Sanfeng responded.
Zhang Sanfeng ordered the boat to anchor far away from the town. The boatman went to the town to buy food, cooked the food, and put it on the small table in the cabin. He cooked four large bowls of chicken, meat, fish, and vegetables in total. The space in the cabin was originally
It's not too big, but now that Zhao Kai and three others have been added, it seems a bit crowded.
Zhang Wuji had just finished getting rid of the cold poison, but his body was still very weak. Zhang Sanfeng asked Zhao Kai to eat first, while he fed Wuji. By this time, Zhou Zhiruo had also woken up, but her eyes were still a little red and swollen. Zhao Kai saw that she didn't want to eat.
, reached out and patted her little head, and said teasingly: "Why, I feel envious when I see others being fed, and I want to imitate her."
"No way!" Zhou Zhiruo's face turned red after hearing this, and she retorted. She was about to pick up the bowl and chopsticks to eat by herself, but Zhao Kai took it in his hands first.
"Okay, okay, brother, I will follow Brother Zhang's example and make an exception to feed you once today. Remember, it's only this once." Zhao Kai said with a smile.
"No need." Zhou Zhiruo protested in a low voice, but when Zhao Kai brought the rice to her mouth, she opened her mouth to eat. Zhao Kai carefully removed the fish bones and chicken bones, and added gravy to each mouthful of rice. Zhou Zhiruo ate very much.
It was so sweet that I ate up a big bowl of rice.
On the other hand, Zhang Sanfeng felt very relieved because Zhang Wuji knew that his cold poison was gone, his life was no longer in danger, and his appetite was very good.
Chang Yuchun, on the other hand, didn't touch the fish and just ate up the bowl of vegetables. Although he was seriously injured, he still had a big face worthy of his beard, and he actually ate four large bowls of white rice in one go. Zhang Sanfeng
Although he is a Taoist priest, he is not taboo
Seeing that Chang Yuchun ate a lot of meat, Chang Yuchun advised him to eat more chicken. Chang Yuchun said: "Master Zhang, I worship the Bodhisattva and don't eat meat." Zhang Sanfeng was enlightened and said: "Ah, the old Taoist has forgotten.
"That's when I remembered that the rules for human beings in the demon sect
The rules are extremely strict and abstain from eating meat and fish, and this has been the case since the Tang Dynasty. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, Fang La, the leader of the Ming Sect, started an uprising in eastern Zhejiang. At that time, the officials and people called it "eating vegetables is a demon sect." Eating vegetables and serving the devil are
These are the two major laws of the Demonic Cult.
It has been hundreds of years. Since the Song Dynasty, the government has been very strict with the demon sect, and people in the martial arts world have also been very discriminatory against it. Therefore, the demon sect's followers are very secretive. Although they are vegetarians, they pretend to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva to outsiders.
Dare to reveal your identity.
Zhao Kai was not very clear about this section, so he couldn't help but ask: "What? Do you believe in Bodhisattvas? I really can't tell."
Chang Yuchun replied: "Mr. Zhao Eng, you have been of great help to me. Besides, everyone knows my origin, so there is no need to hide it from me. I am a member of Mingjiao who serves Mingzun. The imperial government treats us as heinous crimes."
Disciple, well-known family
The chivalry of the faction looked down upon us, and even the gangsters who robbed homes, killed people, and set fires said we were monsters. You old man, knowing my identity and origin, still came to my rescue. I really don’t know how to repay this kindness."
Zhao Kai had heard a little bit about the origin of Mingjiao. He knew that the great demon king worshiped by Mingjiao was called Mani, and people in the religion called it "Mingzun". The religion was introduced to China during the Yuanhe period of Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, and was called "
Manichaeism", also known as "Dayun Guangming Sect", believers
It calls itself the "Ming Cult", but others call it the Demon Cult. I just didn't know that people in the Ming Cult actually want to abstain from eating meat and fish, which is really hard to understand. But thinking about it, not many people still abide by this rule. Chang Yuchun can always insist on it.
It's really not easy.
Zhang Sanfeng was an open-minded person, and he did not have much prejudice against good and evil. On that day, he also said to Zhang Cuishan: "It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. If a disciple of the upright sect has evil intentions, he is an evil disciple; if a person in the evil sect is
He who is devoted to good deeds is a gentleman." He also said that although Yin Tianzheng, the leader of the Tianying Cult, has an extreme surname and eccentric behavior, he is an upright and upright person, which is very deplorable.
He made this friend. But since Zhang Cuishan committed suicide, he was saddened by the death of his beloved disciple, and couldn't help but hate the Sky Eagle Sect. He thought that the third disciple Yu Daiyan would be disabled for life, and the fifth disciple Zhang Cuishan would die and his reputation would be ruined, all because of the Sky Eagle Sect.
Since then, although he has reluctantly suppressed his desire to seek revenge against Yin Tianzheng, no matter how broad-minded he is, he still hates the word "evil" very deeply.
Zhang Sanfeng admired Chang Yuchun very much, but after all, he was from Mingjiao, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Yuchun, how old are you this year?"
Chang Yuchun answered honestly: "I am exactly twenty years old."
I really didn't notice it. Although Zhao Kai knew from the other party's words and deeds that he must be older than his appearance, he really didn't expect to be so young.
Zhang Sanfeng continued: "You have just grown up, Chengren. Although you have joined the demon sect, you have not fallen deeply into it. It is not too late to turn back as soon as possible. I have some unpleasant words to advise you. I hope you will not take offense."
Chang Yuchun said: "Zhang Zhenzhen saw the teachings, how dare you take offense?" Zhang Sanfeng said: "Okay! I advise you to change your mind immediately and give up the cult. If you don't think that the Wudang sect's skills are low, the old Taoist will appoint me as a disciple.
Song Yuanqiao will accept you as his disciple. From now on, you will travel around the world with pride and pride, and no one will dare to look down upon you."
Song Yuanqiao is the leader of the Seven Heroes, and he is famous all over the world. It is not easy for ordinary people in the martial arts to meet him. The Wudang heroes have only begun to accept disciples in recent years, but the selection is very strict.
decide
You cannot join the Wudang sect. Chang Yuchun was born in a demon sect, and ordinary people would have frowned upon hearing that, but Zhang Sanfeng favored him and asked him to join the Song Yuanqiao sect. For those who study martial arts, it is a rare and great blessing.
Little did they know that Chang Yuchun said loudly: "I am very grateful that I have been respected by Master Zhang, but I belong to the Ming Cult and I will never dare to betray my teachings in my life." Zhang Sanfeng tried to persuade him a few more times, but Chang Yuchun resolutely refused to obey.
"Okay, Brother Zhang, please stop trying to persuade me. Everyone has their own path to take. Since Brother Chang is so insistent, he certainly has his reasons." Zhao Kai spoke at this time and said lightly.
Chang Yuchun cast a grateful look at Zhao Kai for his rescue.
