In the next few days, Xiaohai and I brought a lot of food to Hanako, some cotton clothes and bedding, and a stove. The windows that were in disrepair were slightly repaired using tools, and the inside and outside of the windows were re-pasted with newspapers. The temple door is in good condition overall. I found a pair of cotton curtains from home to hang it up. With this little arrangement, the whole temple suddenly felt warm. It turns out that the bed boards used by the monks in the temple are basically intact. With a little cleaning and new bedding, it is actually not a problem to accommodate people.
"Xiaoshan, your name is Xiaoshan, right?" At this time, Hanako had already put on new cotton clothes, and had her hair and beard styled again. In this temple, people who didn't know her would have thought she was a Taoist priest at first glance. Indeed, after arranging his beard and hair, this flower child's face is indeed quite strange. Maybe he was really a Taoist priest before.
Me: "Yes, senior, my real name is Li Shan, also known as Yuanle. Senior, may I ask what your last name is? How should I call you?"
Hanako smiled slightly: "My original lay name has long been forgotten. Now I only have one Taoist name, called Tianjizi. The name I walk in this secular world is now called Li Tianji, and my surname is Li. I am destined to be with you."
It turns out he is really a Taoist priest, no wonder people speak differently. Me: "It turns out to be Senior Tianji, please accept Li Shan's bow."
Li Tianji smiled: "Li Shan, Li Shan, you want to learn from me, but your name is really ominous..."
I was stunned: "Ah, senior, what do you mean by this?"
Li Tianji laughed: "Li Shan, Li Shan, look at the world outside this door now."
Without waiting for my answer, Li Tianji asked himself and answered: "In today's world, evil people are in power, good people suffer, heaven and earth are reversed, yin and yang are out of balance, and all kinds of monsters and monsters come out to eat people. Tell me about you, in this chaotic world In the world of cannibalism, your name is actually Li Shan. Tell yourself, is it very ominous?"
Li Tianji's words reminded me of my dead friend. Is my friend a good person when he works to save the country? Although Jidong's name does not contain the word "kind", he can be regarded as a very kind person. Even such a kind person was killed by Sun Chuanhu. In other cities, countless students lost their lives because of revolutionary demonstrations. Besides, his original body also suffered a disaster. It can be seen that in this chaotic old world, the word "kind" is indeed not auspicious. I stared at Li Tianji blankly and remained silent.
Li Tianji: "Li Shan, do you really want to learn from me?"
I gritted my teeth and said firmly: "I must learn kung fu."
"Okay, since you want to learn Kung Fu from me, your name must be changed. Are you... willing?"
In the old society, a person's name could not be changed at will. Because people at that time were very superstitious and believed that changing one's name at will would lead to unknown disasters, and the government and clan gentry at that time were very strict in name management. If a person wanted to change his or her name, the government and the squire would definitely stop and punish him. Of course, there are exceptions, that is, through the imperial examination system of the old society, the teacher chooses a new surname for himself. For example, my surname is Yuanle, and I can also be called Li Yuanle.
However, no matter how he chooses his first name, his real name is Li Shan, and no one dares to change it for him.
Fortunately, the Li Shan of today is no longer the Li Shan of the past, and I don’t have these taboos. Furthermore, the country is in turmoil now, and we are unable to protect ourselves. I have also encountered a death crisis. For a person who has been reborn after death, it is estimated that no one in the county will interfere with changing his name.
I said: "I do."
"What name do you want to give me?"
Li Tianji stroked his beard and said: "Li - good, good! What is good? Nowadays, good and evil are in different places. Good is evil and evil is good. The most evil name in the world is those weapons that kill people. Your name Ah, I need to add a little bit of sword spirit. Hmm..."
Li Tianji shook his head and talked to himself.
"Oh, yes. Let's call him Li Shanfeng. Goodness is the ultimate good, and the sharp edge is a sharp edge. From gold to reverse, good and evil are reversed. Good is evil, and evil is good. Good front, good front, a handful The sharp edge that reverses good and evil is both great good and great evil. Hahaha, what a good name. From now on, you will be called Shan Feng. What do you think? Not satisfied? If you want to learn from me in the future, you can only call me Shan Feng. This name."
"Thank you, senior, for the name." I bowed my head and saluted. Shan Feng, this name is quite strange. I complained silently in my mind.
Li Tianji laughed loudly: "From now on, I will call you Master, Shanfeng Disciple..."
Me: "Disciple Shanfeng, please pay homage to Master."
Li Tianji laughed happily again: "Well, when you go out, keep everything simple. But no matter how simple it is, three rings are indispensable. Tomorrow morning, Shanfeng will come over early, remember to prepare some fruits, and wait until you worship the ancestor. , when that time comes, Master will naturally have the real ability to teach you. Do you understand?"
"Okay Master, I will definitely come here early tomorrow. I will go back today and inform my mother and neighbors about the name change."
Li Tianji: "Shan Feng..."
"Master, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Li Tianji: "Don't publicize the name change for the time being. Just tell your mother. Now that I am traveling abroad, I am traveling in secret. Don't mention my existence to too many people. In the future, you will come here sooner or later. , don’t move around when there are many people at noon, except Xiaohai, don’t bring too many people here, you know?”
Me: "I know, Master, I'll give Xiao Hai some advice later."
I had just said goodbye to my master, Li Tianji, and was walking home. Before I even reached the door, I saw Yu Zhi running over in a panic.
I was so surprised: "Yuzhi, why are you free to come here today? Why are you in such a panic? What happened?"
Yuzhi grabbed my arm: "Brother Shan, something happened."
I quickly led Yuzhi to my home, and while making tea, I asked: "What happened? Yuzhi, don't be anxious, tell me slowly."
Yuzhi said slightly horrified: "Do you still remember that day when we all came to see you?"
"of course I remember."
Yuzhi: "We came to see you that day, and we also talked about dealing with Sun Chuanhu and buying guns. Now the matter has been exposed. The Tianlang family, the Tianlang family..."
My heart skipped a beat again: "What's going on? What happened to Tianlang's family?"
Yu Zhi said: "Tianlang's house has been ransacked by Sun Chuanhu. Except for Bai Laoer who ran away, all the other 15 members of Tianlang's family were arrested and imprisoned. When I came here, I also heard that Sun Chuanhu was preparing to Lead the troops to catch all the officials of our National Salvation Congress and arrest them all in prison. Brother Shan, Brother Shan, you and I are both officials of the National Salvation Congress. Let’s run away..."
When I heard about this, I was very frightened, anxious and angry at the same time.
"The great traitor, the great evil man, Sun Chuanhu, he is so unscrupulous. Do we scholars really have to suffer all their oppression?"
When Yu Zhi heard me scolding Sun Chuanhu angrily, he was so frightened that he looked outside the house.
"Brother Shan, be silent, be silent, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth." At this time, Yuzhi was already frightened, and I was almost the same.
I picked up a bowl of tea and drank it in one gulp. After thinking for a moment, I said: "Yuzhi, I can't run. Yuzhi, you can't run either. We can't run."
Yuzhi said hurriedly: "Why, brother Shan, if we don't run away, are we waiting to be arrested and humiliated by them?"
Me: "Uzhi, the weather is getting colder and colder now. If we run out, where should we go to hide? Another one, I ran out. In this cold winter, my mother is home alone, and I am really worried. So, Let’s go to the city to find Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun and Sun Chuanhu are from the same hometown. We go to him to beg for mercy and get over this hurdle for the time being..."
Yuzhi was furious: "Li Shan! You actually want to go out of your way to beg that evil man, to beg that traitor! Have you forgotten how Jidong died? You have forgotten the scar on your head! I, Liu Yuzhi, am really I’m so blind that I consider you my friend!”
After Liu Yuzhi finished speaking, he immediately slammed the door and walked out without waiting for my explanation. I hurriedly chased him to the door to explain, but when I reached the door, Yuzhi had already run away.
At this time, a cold wind suddenly blew up on the street, and there was heavy snow falling in the sky.
"There is no good or evil in this old world. If you want to live, you must change." I murmured to myself, looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky.
When I returned to the courtyard, I saw my mother at the door. It was obvious that my mother had already heard what she and Yu Zhi just said.
"Mother, how many silver coins are there at home? Can you take out 5 of them?"
The mother said: "There are still more than a dozen coins. We don't have much money at home. Your father who died long ago left it to us and my mother. If you take out another five coins, you will have to find a job next year. But you can't You are fooling around with that Bai Bai Lang again. Look at Bai Bai Lang, he is a bitch on weekdays, but if something happens, the whole family will be affected. From now on, you are not allowed to mention anything about saving the National Congress."
After my mother finished speaking, she went to the house and took out 5 silver coins, wrapped them in a piece of red cloth, and gave them to me.
"Xiaoshan, when you meet Teacher Sun, talk to them. If it doesn't work next year, go to Teacher Sun to help. I remember that he still likes you. Talk to them."
I took the silver dollar and said, "Okay mother. Don't worry. I won't disappoint you."
"By the way, mother, I worshiped a teacher today, named Li Tianji, who is a Taoist priest. From now on, I will learn some kung fu from him sooner or later, as well as some skills in treating diseases and saving people. Teacher Li Tianji is a capable person. He said that I The name was flawed. They said it was inappropriate to call it Li Shan, so I changed a word..."
Mother: "Really? Did the Taoist priest change that word for you?"
I said: "I added a word to the name, called Li Shanfeng. The edge is a sharp edge, Li Shanfeng."
Mother: "Well, okay. It's time to change it, change your name, change your destiny. I'll tell my ancestors later."
I silently agreed. Telling the ancestors what the mother said is actually to pay homage to the ancestors and talk about changing the names of the descendants. It can be regarded as a feudal superstition in the old Chinese society.
"By the way, mother, please don't mention my master Li Tianji's affairs to others for the time being. As for my name, when the neighbors ask, they will say that I changed it myself."
My mother agreed to all of my requests one by one.
With five silver dollars in my arms, I rushed to the city despite the heavy snow. I met several acquaintances on the road and asked questions, and I responded to them all. That is to say, if I have something to do temporarily, I will go to the city.
