Zhang Ren's horse was given by Zhu Yunwen. Although this horse is not a famous horse, it can be regarded as a rare and good horse.
All good horses have one characteristic, that is, they are more or less human.
When Zhang Ren came into contact with the horse, he showed no ill intentions, so the horse was always very submissive.
If such a horse begins to neigh, it must be under some threat.
Zhang Ren put his chopsticks at ease and walked straight out of the inn.
Sure enough, just as he came out, he saw two gangsters untying the horse's reins with the intention of stealing the horse.
Zhang Ren frowned and shouted sternly: "Where is the thief? How dare you steal my horse?"
Those horse thieves didn't seem to be afraid of Zhang Ren. They even glanced at Zhang Ren and said with disdain: "I stole your horse because I am looking down on you. If you are wise, get away quickly, otherwise I will definitely make you regret it." Come to this world!"
Zhang Ren laughed angrily at these words. With his current level of martial arts, he could naturally see that these two horse thieves were careless and did not know any martial arts at all. However, these two people dared to steal horses in broad daylight. What to rely on.
Zhang Ren asked: "I wonder which path you two are on?"
Hearing Zhang Ren's question, one of the horse thieves said proudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the county magistrate is my seventh uncle!"
How many noble disciples did Zhang Ren see in Yingtian Mansion? But no matter how arrogant and rude those noble children are, no matter how rich their background is, no one dares to rob others on the street. But here, a relative of a county magistrate actually dares to do such a thing.
Zhang Ren curled his lips and said: "Return to my seventh uncle and grandpa? Do you think you are Yan Xiaoliu? Even if your seventh uncle and grandpa came in person today, you would never touch my horse!"
The horse thief looked Zhang Ren up and down, then immediately put on a scowl on his face and said, "Huh? I encountered a tough problem today. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
As the horse thief said this, he actually started to roll up his sleeves, as if he wanted to do something.
Originally, the innkeeper was watching the excitement at the door, but now that he saw that a physical conflict was about to occur, he immediately pushed him into the store and locked the door tightly.
Zhang Ren shook his head helplessly. Although he did not want to cause trouble, Zhang Ren had no intention of enduring the bullying. So what if the county magistrate was behind him? I have so many brands in my arms that I would scare the county magistrate to death if I took out any one at random.
Zhang Ren took a step forward and was about to take action, but was interrupted by a voice.
"Stop it, you two! If you dare to take action in Wudang territory, are you not putting me in the eyes of the Wudang Sect?"
Zhang Ren looked around and saw that the person speaking was a Taoist boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
The two horse thieves looked at each other. They were quite arrogant just now, but now they lost their momentum. One of them said: "They are Taoist priests from the Wudang sect. My seventh uncle said not to provoke them, let's go!" "
They no longer wanted Zhang Ren's horse, but turned around and left. Of course, before they left, they did not forget to give Zhang Ren a harsh word: "There are Taoist priests from Wudang here today. I will let you go for now." Ma, when you leave this town, I’ll see if I don’t break your legs.”
….
What Zhang Ren didn't like the most was this kind of fearless verbal battle. If he scolded them fiercely now, it would be better to just beat them to the ground and find their teeth in the future. That would be more satisfying.
After the two horse thieves left, Zhang Ren turned around and cupped his hands towards the Taoist boy and said, "Thank you, Taoist brother."
The Taoist boy smiled shyly, scratched his head and said, "But there's no need to thank me. It's because I, the Wudang Sect, didn't take good care of me."
Zhang Ren then asked, "Brother Taoist, is he from the Wudang sect?"
The Taoist boy looked inexperienced and extremely shy. He nodded and said, "Yes, I am a disciple of Wudang. There are always some Jianghu people passing through this town. As the landlord here, the Wudang sect is the sect. This disciple is here to welcome you and send you off."
After hearing this, Zhang Ren cupped his hands towards the Taoist boy and said, "That's a coincidence. I happen to have something to do and want to go up the mountain to visit the head of Wudang. I wonder if I can introduce you to him?"
The Taoist boy blushed and quickly waved his hands and said, "Look at you.
You should be a few years older than me, and you are from the world, so I think you can just call me Junior Brother. "
Zhang Ren nodded and asked, "Don't you know your junior brother's name?"
The Taoist boy replied: "Xiao Dao is from the generation of Wudang Tong, and the Tao name is Tongyi."
"Tongyi? This nickname is somewhat interesting." Zhang Ren said casually.
Tao Tong explained: "It is said that two are born, two beget three, and three beget all things. As I understand one, I understand all things."
Zhang Ren had never read the Taoist scriptures and did not know much about Taoism. He could only agree: "Junior Brother Tongyi's Taoist title is really extraordinary."
Tong Yi blushed and smiled, saying: "Thank you for the compliment, senior brother. I don't know your senior brother's name, and what sect he belongs to?"
I went to Wudang Mountain firstly to avoid a lot of troubles in the world, and secondly because I really wanted to learn some martial arts at Wudang Mountain.
Since he is learning from a master, he has to use his real name.
Zhang Ren opened his mouth and said, "My name is Zhang Ren. I have no sect and no sect. I just taught myself some boxing and basic kung fu. I took the liberty to come here this time because I want to join the Wudang sect."
Tong Yi blinked his big eyes and said: "This matter is not urgent. Since I, the Wudang Sect, are the landlord here, I naturally have to entertain the guests well. How about I take my senior brother around first?"
Zhang Ren is not familiar with Wudang Mountain, so he can take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the environment of Wudang Mountain. After all, he will probably live here for a while after becoming a member of Wudang Mountain.
Zhang Ren nodded, cupped his hands towards Tong Yi and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. I'm sorry to trouble Junior Brother Tong Yi."
Tong nodded and started walking around with Zhang Ren. He talked as he walked, just like a tour guide, but this tour lasted more than an hour.
Tong Yi never mentioned the matter of going to the mountain to become a disciple.
The scenery of Wudang Mountain is nice, but after seeing too much, it becomes boring. Besides, Zhang Ren is focused on going up the mountain at this moment, so he can only say: "Junior Brother Tongyi, when will you take me up the mountain? Let's just hang around for a while. It’s been a long time.”
Tong turned around and showed a wry smile. He said sheepishly, "I'm really sorry. There are so many rules when going up the mountain. I'm afraid I won't be able to take my senior brother up there."
Zhang Ren looked puzzled and asked quickly: "Why is this?"
But Tongyi took out a Bagua sign from his arms and said, "I dare not hide it, senior brother. Our Wudang sect can be regarded as a existence like Mount Tai and Beidou in the martial arts world. In the past, people who wanted to go up the mountain to become a disciple or want to meet the leader There are too many to count. The leader has to manage the sect, practice martial arts, and teach disciples. He is already extremely busy, so how can he have time to recruit new disciples?"
….
Zhang Ren thought for a while and realized there was nothing wrong with what he said. He nodded slightly and said, "To be honest, as long as Junior Brother Tongyi can take me to meet the leader, he will definitely accept me."
Zhang Ren had a good relationship with Lin Ling, and he possessed the Nine Sun Magic Skills and the Great Shift of the Universe. He also had a relationship with Zhang Wuji, so the head of Wudang would not turn him away.
Tongyi looked embarrassed and said: "Usually, nine out of ten people who go to the mountain to learn skills say the same thing, but in the end they are not kicked out? I also received a lot of criticism from the leader because of this matter. As for the punishment, senior brother, please spare me."
Zhang Ren raised his head and looked at Wudang Mountain, sighed, and said, "Is there any other way?"
Tong Yi's little face turned red from suppressing it, and he said rather embarrassedly: "Tell me the truth, brother, my brand is worth twenty taels. This is the rule set by the master. As long as you buy this brand and go up the mountain, the master will We will meet each other soon."
Tong Yi said and waved the Bagua sign in his hand.
Zhang Ren's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "The mighty Wudang Sect still has such rules?"
Tongyi covered his face with one hand and said with a blush: "Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. Even a monk has to live. The Wudang sect has no land and no shops to make a living. The leader also hopes to make some money through this. We Wudang Sect are really poor."
At the end of Tongyi's words, some crystal tears appeared on his originally embarrassed face.
It seems that Wudang is really poor.
Isn't it the same when I went to the Beggar Clan General Forum before? Those so-called nine-bag elders bowed to me for one hundred taels of silver. From this point of view, twenty taels for a Wudang Sect brand is already an extremely good deal.
Zhang Ren didn't doubt that he was there, so he took out a twenty-tael silver note and said, "This is the bank note. Now you can take me up the mountain, right?"
Tong Yi took the votes one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, handed the gossip sign to Zhang Ren.
"Brother, just take the sign and go straight up the mountain. Whenever someone blocks you, just show this sign and you can pass."
Zhang Ren was puzzled and asked with a suspicious look on his face: "Junior Brother Tongyi, won't you go up the mountain with me?"
Tong Yi immediately wiped his eyes and said, "I don't dare to deceive my senior brother. There has been no food on the mountain for several days. Thanks to my senior brother's money today, I'd better hurry up and buy some food."
Zhang Ren looked incredulous and asked: "Junior Brother Tongyi, are you kidding me? Wudang Sect! Any disciple can be considered a master. How can such a sect run out of food?"
Tong Yi nodded solemnly and said: "It's because we are the Wudang sect. Our Wudang is a famous sect in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. There are countless pairs of eyes in the world looking at it. Therefore, the leader said that people in Wudang You must not do unjust things, you must not make ill-gotten gains, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and you must not use force to obtain food and money, even if you starve to death."
After hearing this, Zhang Ren couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Even if people in the world have learned some rudimentary martial arts, it is enough for ordinary people to look up to them. As long as they use kung fu, regardless of whether it is money or food, isn't it easy to get it?
Therefore, there are many murderers in the world.
When a person has strong abilities, it is no longer the law that can restrain him, but morality.
Therefore, in Zhang Ren's eyes, even though he has never met the Wudang leader, he must be a highly respected person.
Night rivers and lakes.
