Chapter 43: Tang Family Honor! Return to Shaolin
Night falls.

In Kaifeng Prefecture, Governor Tang had already sent people to set up a banquet to entertain Abbot Sanzang and his entourage.

When the butler went to the front hall to inform Tang Xiaolong and others to have dinner, he was enthusiastically telling Lin Xuan and Hua Xiaolan about the anecdotes of the former prime minister of the dynasty.

When he learned that the dinner was ready, he shut up with a feeling of unsatisfied feeling.

Take Lin Xuan and Hua Xiaolan to the flower hall for dinner.

There is no need to say much about the food in the prefect's house.

Not to mention delicacies from land and sea, at least they are some delicious food.

Faced with these delicacies, Lin Xuan's appetite grew, and he and Hua Xiaolan just lowered their heads and ate.

at this time.

Tang Fuyin suddenly looked at Tang Xiaolong and said:
"Xiaolong, do you want to go to Shaolin to learn martial arts?"

"Abbot Sanzang sees that you have good aptitude and would like to take you in as his disciple. Are you willing?"

Say it.

Hua Xiaolan's beautiful face changed slightly.

I couldn't help but look up at Abbot Sanzang and felt strange.

How long has it been?
Why does Abbot Sanzang want to accept another disciple?

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was not surprised by this.

He had already guessed it.

For this reason, when he heard what Tang Fuyin said, he remained calm and just concentrated on eating.

Hearing this, Tang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, but finally shook his head and refused:
"Father, my ambition is to be a scholar. How can I go to the mountains to learn martial arts?"

Shaolin Temple is a holy place for martial artists all over the world.

It is impossible to say that Tang Xiaolong has no intention of joining Shaolin Temple.

But this went against his ambitions.

In desperation, he could only give up.

Seeing this, Tang Fuyin had something in mind and kept persuading Xiaolong:
"My child, I am only letting you stay in the mountain as a lay disciple of Shaolin. When you grow up, you can still go down the mountain and become an official."

"Whether you are an official or a scholar, your father will not interfere."

"Our Tang family has produced many scholars and officials throughout the ages, but we have yet to produce a general. Right now, bandits are everywhere and wars are constant. If you go to Shaolin and practice martial arts well, you may be able to take on the position of a general in the future."

"This is a great event that will bring honor to our family. The Tang family has never produced such a person!"

"My child, if you can do this, your father will be proud of you, and our Tang family ancestors will also be pleased in their graves!"

After hearing what his father said, Tang Xiaolong was stunned.

He was a little bewildered.

I didn’t expect that my father had such high hopes for me!
The task of bringing honor to the family is placed on oneself?
But then again, the Tang family doesn’t seem to have produced any great generals!
If he becomes a general in the future, he will definitely bring glory to the family!
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaolong began to feel restless.

While hesitating.

Tang Fuyin looked at Xiaolong earnestly and said:

"My child, your father has taken out our ancestral sword."

"I believe you won't bury that precious sword!"

Hear the words.

Tang Xiaolong was completely shocked!

The sword passed down from his ancestors was called the Wulu Sword.

It is said that the sword was given to an ancestor of the Tang family by a sword-making master when he was traveling around the world.

After that, the sword was kept in the home.

Because few people in the Tang family take up the path of martial arts.

Therefore, this sword was shelved for many years.

Now, my father has given me this sword, which is of great significance!

You know, the sword is a gentleman's weapon!

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaolong no longer hesitated and immediately agreed:
"Father, I am willing to take Abbot Sanzang as my master and become a lay disciple of Shaolin to bring honor to the family!"

Seeing Xiaolong agree, Tang Fuyin was delighted and clapped his hands in praise:

"Good! You are worthy of being a member of my Tang family!"

"Then you should eat more tonight, and return to Shaolin with Abbot Sanzang tomorrow."

Tang Xiaolong: “…”

See this scene.

Lin Xuan smiled silently in his heart.

I always feel that Tang Xiaolong was tricked by Tang Fuyin into going to Shaolin.

……

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, after breakfast, the group prepared to set off.

Tang Xiaolong packed his bag, took the ancestral Wulu sword, said goodbye to his father, and got on Abbot Sanzang's carriage.

It was not his first time going out, so he did not feel reluctant to leave.

In fact.

The journey from Kaifeng to Shaolin is not that far.

It’s only a little over a hundred miles away.

If you really want to go home, you can go back anytime.

With Lin Xuan and Hua Xiaolan, two companions of similar age, Tang Xiaolong would not be bored on the road.

As he still had to escort 100 dan of grain, Tang Fuyin had no choice but to send several guards from his mansion to accompany him in three horse-drawn carriages.

After arriving outside the city, Lin Xuan proposed to Abbot Sanzang that they go back to Xiawa Village to visit their parents.

Abbot Sanzang had already agreed to this matter, so he naturally would not refuse.

Ever since.

So he lent him the carriage he was driving.

And told him to go and come back quickly.

Lin Xuan took the reins and drove to Xiawa Village at full speed.

Right now, Lin Xuan is quite strong.

It was easy to control the horse.

About half an hour later, Lin Xuan drove back to Xiawa Village.

I haven't been home for more than ten months.

Now that he was back in Xiawa Village, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel very at home.

After more than a month of renovation, Xiawa Village has completely recovered.

Even before reaching the village entrance, I could hear the sounds of chickens and dogs, and a pastoral atmosphere filled the air.

When they returned home, Lin's father and mother were overjoyed to see Lin Xuan coming back.

Compared with a few months ago, Lin Xuan was not only taller, but also looked much better.

Especially the eyes, bright and clear.

However, Lin Xuan didn't have much time, so he chatted with his parents for a while, told them about what he had seen and heard in Shaolin during these days, and then turned to go to Zhang Dong's house.

After staying in Xiawa Village for about half an hour, Lin Xuan hurriedly drove to meet up with Abbot Sanzang and others.

In this way, after driving for more than an hour, they finally caught up with Abbot Sanzang and others.

This was because Abbot Sanzang deliberately slowed down and waited for him.

Otherwise, Lin Xuan would not be able to catch up after more than an hour.

The carriage was handed back to Abbot Sanzang to drive, and Lin Xuan sat in the back.

At that time, Tang Xiaolong and Hua Xiaolan were having a great chat.

"Brother, you are finally back."

"Xiaolong still doesn't believe that I have extraordinary talent and can practice Qi on my own?"

Seeing Lin Xuan sitting in front of her, Hua Xiaolan blinked and smiled.

"Brother, is this true?"

Tang Xiaolong came over and asked curiously.

He also has a general understanding of the internal skills and techniques.

I know that many people must be guided by elders when they practice Qigong for the first time.

The internal skills of Shaolin must be of the highest quality.

If Hua Xiaolan practiced Qigong alone for the first time, then her aptitude and understanding must be extraordinary.

"it is true."

Lin Xuandao.

Hearing this, Hua Xiaolan looked at Tang Xiaolong "showing off":
"How about it, Xiaolong, do you believe it now?"

Tang Xiaolong crossed his arms, leaned against the car, and snorted coldly:

"Humph!"

"It's no big deal."

"When I go to the Sutra Library and choose some Kung Fu, I can succeed when I practice Qigong on my own for the first time!"

however.

Just as he finished speaking.

Abbot Sanzang suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the horse.
