Jing Yang led everyone back to the branch hall, where Xia Yucheng was sitting on a large chair, and everyone saluted: "I've seen Master." ”

Xia Yucheng bowed slightly: "Jingyang, where did you go just now?"

Jingyang said: "Back to Master, Sun Haiwei, Du Qing, and Li Xianglin from the East Branch just asked us to go to the Houshan Forest, and they fabricated that I and Qingfeng injured the disciples of their branch out of thin air, and we couldn't understand the theory with them, so we had to fight in the end." ”

Xia Yucheng said angrily: "Nonsense, fellow students in the academy should be united and friendly, how can you hurt your harmony by fighting for a trivial matter." ”

Jingyang said: "Master taught me a lesson, but they were quite unreasonable, and we had no choice but to take action." ”

Xia Yucheng said: "That's it, I won't investigate this matter for the time being, I came to you for another important matter." ”

Jingyang said, "What does the master command?"

Xia Yucheng said: "Listen well, you have to go out for a period of time on the orders of the master, and you must not make any more troubles during this period." Jingyang, Jia Lei, as the big disciples of the sect, as a teacher, will hand over the responsibility of taking care of the branch hall during the outing period to you, you two must urge the juniors and disciples to practice diligently every day, if anything important happens, remember to wait for the teacher to come back and deal with it, don't make decisions without authorization, do you understand?"

Jingyang and Zhong Jialei said respectfully: "Yes, Master, the disciple understands." ”

Xia Yucheng said: "Then you should retreat first." ”

The crowd said, "Yes, Master." He walked out.

The next day, Xia Yucheng set off to go out, Jingyang and Zhong Jialei were sent outside the mountain gate, and Xia Yucheng repeatedly explained a few sentences when parting, Jingyang and Zhong Jialei said yes again and again. Seeing that the master had gone away, Jing Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master is really, as if we have to cause trouble, a few words have been repeated hundreds of times." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "It's not, my ears are calloused." ”

The two returned to the school, only to see that the disciples were practicing honestly on the martial arts field, and when they saw that they were back, the disciples surrounded them and said, "How is it, the master is really gone?"

Jingyang said: "It's not like you're leaving, then there can be a fake, you can listen well, before the master leaves, let everyone practice diligently, you can't be lazy." ”

The disciples said, "I know, senior brother, let's continue to practice." As he spoke, they returned to their original positions and practiced.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time to eat, Jingyang said: "This morning's practice is over, everyone goes to the dining room to eat by themselves, and goes back here to practice on time in the afternoon, have you heard clearly?"

The disciples said, "I heard clearly. As he spoke, they dispersed.

Jingyang, Zhong Jialei, and Yi Qingfeng walked towards the dining room together, and Jingyang said as he walked: "I thought that as soon as the master left, these hairy monkeys in our branch hall should make a fuss, but I didn't expect them to be quite well-behaved and didn't cause me any trouble." ”

Yi Qingfeng said with a smile: "It's only been half a day, the days to come will be long, don't be too happy, maybe someone will poke the basket at some point." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Qingfeng is right, there are nearly 100 disciples up and down in our branch hall, and in the past, there was a master in fashion and there was no guarantee that nothing would happen, not to mention now, in my opinion, we should pay more attention, so as not to cause trouble everywhere in these hairy monkeys." ”

The three of them were talking, when they saw Hua Changyue and Lu Fang coming over in the distance, Yi Qingfeng said, "Coincidentally, look who is coming." ”

Jingyang raised his eyes and saw that it was Hua Changyue who appeared, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister Hua, what a coincidence, you are also here to eat?"

Hua Changyue said: "No, it's the time of the meal." I heard that Sun Haiwei from the East Branch was fighting with you in the back mountain yesterday, you didn't suffer a loss, did you?"

Jingyang said: "No, the disciples of our middle branch hall are not easy to mess with, Sun Haiwei and Du Qing were all beaten away by us." ”

Hua Changyue said: "Okay, I'm still worried that you will suffer a loss, Sun Haiwei's strength should not be underestimated, if they dare to come to trouble you, Senior Sister will definitely stand by you." ”

Jing Yang said: "That's great, with the support of our senior sister, we are even more confident." ”

Everyone chatted a few words, and then went into the dining room to eat.

The next few days were calm, although Xia Yucheng went out, but the disciples practiced on time every day under the supervision of Jingyang and Zhong Jialei, and did not cause trouble.

On this day, the two of them and Yi Qingfeng were discussing their martial arts experience together, when suddenly Ding Huan, who was practicing on the side, came over and said, "Senior Brother Jing, Tian Dongming and Li Huan have gone down the mountain to show you?"

Jingyang said: "They told me early in the morning that Dongming's father was not in good health, and Li Huan accompanied him home to take a look, it was not a big deal, and they would come back in two days." ”

Ding Huan said: "Senior Brother Jing just believes what they say?"

Seeing that there was something in Ding Huan's words, Jing Yang said: "What do you mean by this, do they dare to lie to me?"

Ding Huan said: "It's not a secret, Tian Dongming and Li Huan may not have something to do at home when they go down the mountain, as far as I know, they really went to Wangxi City to participate in private fights to earn bonuses." ”

Jingyang was taken aback and said, "Is this true?"

Ding Huan said: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, the day before yesterday I happened to hear them talk about it, at that time I thought they were just talking and playing, but I didn't expect them to be so bold that they really went down the mountain in spite of the school's iron order." ”

Jingyang said angrily: "How can this be true, these two people have really eaten the guts of the bear's heart and leopard, and they are known by the master, how can they have a foothold here, I am afraid that we will all be implicated by then." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "How is this good, we have to send someone to chase them back quickly." ”

Jingyang said: "Where to catch up at this time, I'm afraid that the two of them will have already run away, so I can only wait for them to come back and then make plans." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Then how to do it, the big mistake has been made by then, only wait to be expelled from the master, and now rush to there or have a glimmer of life, Jingyang, you are here to supervise the disciples to practice, and leave this matter to me." As he spoke, he hurried down the mountain.

Let's say that Tian Dongming and Li Huan left the school early in the morning and came to Wangxi City, just as Ding Huan said, their trip was indeed to participate in a private fight in the city. It turns out that martial arts are prevalent in the city, and there are often people who promise a lot of money to hold martial arts competitions, as long as they can win the first place, they can enjoy high bonuses, this matter is not a secret in the city, and the government has not explicitly prohibited it, and the local villagers are also happy to watch this kind of martial arts, but as the leading local martial arts school, it has always been in line with the purpose of practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, and it is expressly forbidden for disciples to participate in such martial arts.

Since there is such a strict order, why did Tian Dongming and Li Huan still risk their lives, it turned out that there was a reason for the incident. The two entered Yaowutang in the same year and came from the same village, so they had a close personal relationship in Yaowutang for several years. A few days ago, Tian Dongming's family sent a letter, saying that Dongming's eldest brother was falsely accused of being imprisoned, and now the family is in a mess, raising money up and down to open up the joints to the government, but it is not enough to spend a lot of silver, and the family has nothing to do.

Tian Dongming was so anxious when he learned that his brother had suffered this catastrophe, he had to discuss with Li Huan, and the two thought about it and felt that participating in the martial arts fight was the only way to solve their urgent needs. The two hurriedly came to the outside of the martial arts arena, only to see that the huge venue was full of people who came to watch, and two big men guarded the gate, Tian Dongming said: "It's here, let's go and ask how to participate in this martial arts." As he spoke, he and Li Huan stepped forward.

Walking to the door, the big man guarding the gate said: "Boy, what are you two doing, if you want to watch the competition, you can obediently hand over the silver." ”

Tian Dongming said: "We didn't come to see it, we want to participate in the martial arts." ”

Dahan said: "Okay, then come with me." Saying that, he led the two into the venue, and the two of them went to a side room under the leadership of Dahan, where a man with a good appearance was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and Dahan said: "Manager Jia, these two boys said that they came to participate in the martial arts, and I brought them in." ”

Jia Chun said: "I know, you can step back first." ”

Dahan immediately retreated, and Jia Chun forgave Tian Dongming and Li Huan up and down and said slowly: "Two, this martial arts fist has no eyes, it all depends on ability, if it is a human life, it has nothing to do with this company, you two can think clearly." ”

Tian Dongming said: "I understand that life and death depend on fate, if there is really an accident, you will not be blamed." ”

Jia Chun said: "Okay, enough for the masters, in that case, the two of you signed this life and death certificate." ”

Tian Dongming said: "Don't worry, there is something unclear below, I want to ask how much silver I can get if I win this martial arts?"

Jia Chundao: "The first game is five taels, the second game is ten taels, the third game is twenty taels, the fourth game is forty taels, the fifth game is one hundred taels, and the bonuses after that are all one hundred taels, until you win ten games, you can choose any game with a prize of five taels to five hundred taels, of course, the higher the bonus, the stronger the opponent." ”

Tian Dongming said: "I understand, please bring the life and death certificate to us to sign." ”

Jia Chun said: "The life and death situation is on the table, and the two of them came forward to sign it." ”

Tian Dongming and Li Huan immediately signed their names.

Jia Chun said: "Okay, the two of you will go to the next room to rest for a while, and then someone will call the two of you to go to the competition." ”

Tian Dongming and Li Huan said: "Thank you, then we will retire first." He walked out.
