Chapter 746 Deng Tai’a showed off his skills in western Shu, and Jiang Axe Ding untied his heart
There are nine consecutive mountains in the north of Western Shu, all like swords, among which the two cliffs of big and small swords face each other. The old emperor of Western Shu in the previous dynasty chiseled stones on the cliff to open the door. The world called it the sword gate, and set up a flying beam plank road, which was extremely dangerous. Just because Li Yang unified the Central Plains, Jianmen Mountain Road was launched and Jianmen Mountain Road was thrown into the cold palace for many years. For many years, only those merchants who did small business transactions would come and go.
Regarding Jianmen, after Jian Jiuhuang fought with Wang Xianzhi in Wudi City, some people said that the reason why he had such a nickname was because he had observed the mountain and realized the sword here. Some people even said that Jian Jiuhuang carved a sword score on a stone wall on a plank road before leaving Shu. Now, there are many young Western Shu sword-seeking tours who went to the plank road to look for opportunities.
In summer when the peaches gradually fell, the sheep-intestine path was embedded between the mountain walls, which was slightly dark and damp. A middle-aged man rode a donkey, and a pretty boy with a book boy looked like a book boy, leading the donkey. The boy was carrying a big bamboo box and muttering to himself. The man who was not astonishingly handsome was probably used to the boy’s complaints, turned a deaf ear to him, and was dozing leisurely on the donkey’s back. At this time, a group of people came towards us, leading the common mountain woodcutters in Western Shu, with a group of young men and women in brocade clothes. The boy’s eyes lit up, and he gently threw a bunch of peach branches inserted into the bamboo box to the middle-aged man, and urged in a low voice: “Master, hurry up, turn around and ride a donkey! It’s time for you to recite poems loudly now! Otherwise, there are so many followers riding donkeys in the world today, and you can’t show your identity. Otherwise, you can’t call yourself the Tao Sword God, and no one believes it.”
The middle-aged man said helplessly: “I have met more than a dozen pedestrians along the way. I have to recite poems every time, and I have to carry the word “peach”. Where do I get so many poems in my belly?”
The boy glared and threatened: “Then repeat the previous song, “The Immortals in the Gate”, which sounds very fairy-like. Master, if you don’t read it, I won’t help you lead the donkey.”
The middle-aged man is indeed a good temper and can speak. He turned around and rode a donkey backwards, holding the peach branch in his hand, and then recited loudly: “Look at the peaches in the valley, the dusk is getting deeper and deeper. The old man teaches me the Three Pure Ones, and he will laugh at the king for thousands of years…”
The young man who was as tired as a dog just now instantly put on the extraordinary demeanor of a boy under the celestial throne, without looking sideways, and strides forward with the donkey.
The young man who hired a woodcutter to help lead the way was stunned for a moment after seeing this scene, and then someone turned to his head and rolled his eyes to his companions, “Hey, these two big and small talismans bullied us never seen the world. I really thought that it was Deng Tai, who made a donkey to bring a peach branch, and I also made a white horse and a knife, which was Xu Fengnian!”
The boy blushed with anger. The middle-aged man laughed, turned around and stopped riding the donkey backwards, and threw the peach branch into the gap of the bamboo box. The two groups passed by in a quiet and gentle manner. The boy who led the donkey carefully set up a chance encounter, but only countless times were rolling his eyes. The man looked at the depressed boy’s back and chuckled:”Don’t be angry if you are angry. In fact, Master has long wanted to tell you that there is a real person in the world who does not show his appearance or does not show his appearance…”
The boy snorted coldly, obviously still angry.
The middle-aged man comforted him, “Okay, Master will definitely take you to see the wonderful scenery of Shu this time.”
The young man remained silent.
The middle-aged man had no choice but to laugh, “Other, Master will walk on the sword and give those people a long experience.”
The young man sighed, “Forget it, those guys are blind, but they are at a disadvantage anyway.”
The young man had his own sadness: “Master, it’s not that I’m talking about you, among the four masters in the world, Cao Changqing admired you, and later fought with Tuoba Bodhisattva to shock the world and cry ghosts and gods. Even Xu Fengnian’s flying sword was given by you, but now it is said that Cao Changqing defeated that useless monk and how he was domineering. He said that Xu Fengnian and Tuoba Bodhisattva fought thousands of miles in the Western Regions and were unprecedented and never came. No one said good things about you, I’m worried.”
The middle-aged man joked, “Why do I teach you sword skills? I fish for three days and dry the net for two days every time?”
The young man sighed very old-fashionedly, “I have no self-knowledge, neither has the roots nor qualifications. If you are not good at being an apprentice, you have to think that your master is more promising.”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “You kid are so open-minded!”
The young man suddenly turned his head and asked, “Master, why did you accept me as your apprentice back then? Look at Wang Xianzhi, Yu Xinlang, Lin Ya and others are all first-class martial arts masters, so I have to tell you that you should not expect me to help you become famous in the world in the future.”
The middle-aged man said freely and freely: “Master, why do I want that reputation? It would be great to live happily and die without regrets. Do you think Cao Changqing, Xu Fengnian, and Tuoba Bodhisattva can do this, they can’t do it. If Master dies tomorrow, you can be self-reliant and have no worries about food and clothing, so I don’t have much people or things to worry about. Xu Fengnian can’t let go of the family fortune left by his father, Cao Changqing can’t let go of the great Chu country, and Tuoba Bodhisattva can’t let go of fame and fortune. Don’t envy such a land god who lives unhappy.”
The young man sighed, “It’s so tiring.”
It was Deng Tai’a who was the real Tao Sword God who smiled and said, “Is it because I said that you won’t be so tired if you lead the donkey?”
The young man yelled, not like he was having fun in pain, but said sincerely, “Master, it’s true.”
A movement came from behind the master and apprentice. The young man turned around and saw that it was the young master and daughter who had been walking back for a while and stopped not far away, and then sent the woodcutter to run to them. The woodcutter seemed a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and smiled at Deng Taia on the back of the donkey, “Can you discuss something?”
Deng Taia smiled and said, “Brother,”,you say. “
The woodcutter lowered his voice and said, “Big brother, I’m sorry. Those children from rich families said they wanted to buy a donkey from you. I can’t afford to offend them. I can’t afford to run away. If you are willing to sell, I think you might as well say the price is higher and you will ask for 20 to 30 taels. I guess they don’t care about the difference between the 10 to 20 taels. “
Before Deng Tai’a could speak, the young man was already furious and did not take his anger on the woodcutter. Instead, he turned around and shouted to the wealthy children: “We don’t sell donkeys! I won’t sell it if I give it ten thousand taels! “
Deng Tai’a, who turned the donkey’s head, touched her chin and said softly: “If it’s gold, sell it. “
The young man who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos added: “You are lucky, Master said, you can sell 10,000 taels of gold! “
The woodcutter shook his head. These two people really don’t know the sinisterness of the world. If the group of annoyed young people in this wilderness had malicious intentions, would it be that they would go to report to the officials after going down the mountain? The men and women all spoke loudly, and they were the prefect of a certain county, which was not like the ordinary family. They were really good and bad. Just when the woodcutter was praying to calm the situation, the seven or eight people were already walking towards them with great momentum. One of the strong young men wearing swords on their waists took off their scabbards and pointed at Deng Tai’a and sneered: “Old guy, don’t be shameless. I am very arrogant. I will give you a chance in the end. I bought this donkey, fifty taels of silver. It’s not that we can’t afford a higher price. I once went out for 4,000 taels of real money and silver in a month! However, I have always had a purpose in dealing with people and things, that is, even if I am a sucker, I have to have a bottom line. “
The young man worked hard to suppress his anger in his heart: “Master, you can tolerate this, but I don’t want to endure it anymore, I want to take action! It’s not possible to deal with the Grandmaster, but I’m enough to deal with these guys. “
Deng Tai’a glanced at a young woman with a very outstanding appearance in the team, and then looked at her apprentice. The young man swallowed guiltily.
Deng Tai’a looked at this apprentice who had quietly grown from a child to a young man at some point. Back then, the orphan was rescued by the road on the snowy day. For so many years, it seemed that this child was taking care of his master. At that time, Deng Tai’a had just left the Wu family’s sword tomb. He was not a Tao Sword God. He was unknown in the world. He had no interest in shaking sword skills with others. He could tolerate it when he could. In the past few years, this stupid apprentice saw injustice again and again, and his small body was self-deprecating. However, he beaten into a pig’s head every time. Perhaps this is his natural chivalrous heart, but it is precisely what he, Deng Tai A, does not have. For Deng Tai A, everything in the world is nothing to do with his own heart. Later, one day, I heard the storyteller’s legend in the world in the restaurant and commented on the sects and masters in the world. My little apprentice suddenly said he wanted to practice martial arts. Deng Tai A smiled and asked him what if he had learned martial arts. He said that he had not thought about it yet, and he would learn it first and think about other things. Deng Tai A was alsoHe was so happy to throw away this oil bottle, which secretly led to him entering a small gang. When the child, who was considered to be “clear and strange in nature”, became the direct disciple of the small sect, not long after, the energy of practicing martial arts and masters was quickly exhausted. This child is usually practicing martial arts, but as a direct disciple, he has one or two pieces of silver to take every month, which makes the child a little money fan. When Deng Tai’a, who was worried about him, had to show up. The child was surprised to see Deng Tai’a at the gate and said that he would ask him to go to the restaurant to pick up a meal, then ran back to the sect and took almost all the bag of broken silver he saved. As a result, the child bought a knife for Deng Tai’a and the sect. Because the child used to travel with Deng Tai’a, he would occasionally hear Deng Tai’a sneer at the swordsmen in the world, and felt that this life-saving benefactor who could not buy weapons should not like swordsmen but yearn for the career of swordsmen. Since then, Deng Taia accepted his only apprentice in his life. And that knife was replaced with a donkey. When Deng Tai’a went to the Wudi City of Donghai to fight Wang Xianzhi, it was also the time when Taoyuan was a man. The apprentice was very concerned. At least, he was much more concerned than Deng Taia, who left empty-handed. He tried his best to advise the master not to fight with others naked. It was too disadvantageous. In the end, he was so tired that he didn’t convince the master who was unwilling to lift the sword. The child had to point at a peach tree angrily and said, “Master, you can carry a peach branch to make a sword.”
