Chapter Eighty-Five: Sectarian Life
The four people talked, came to the mountain gate, in front of the mountain gate was originally the square, now the bluestone on the square has all been warped, the ground is full of potholes, three crippled excavators have fallen on the edge of the wall, the whole mountain gate looks simple and dilapidated.
Now the clock has turned, immediately enter the second half of the night, the mountain gate is closed, a group of people from the left side of the mountain gate detour, came to a wall, a lot of small shoe prints on the wall, at a glance you know that this guy usually from here over the wall out, no wonder so familiar with the road.
Qin Feng and the little fat man are both martial arts practitioners, stepping on the ground and borrowing strength, they have already stepped over the wall with two taps on the wall, leaving Li Haoran and the fat man dumbfounded, "I originally wanted to help the two of them." The fat man said speechlessly.
"I thought I'd send them up on my shoulder. Li Haoran also looked weird.
"Two uncles, come over quickly!" Qin Feng's voice came from inside the wall.
"Uncle?" The fat man suddenly became calm, facing the three-meter-high wall, the fat man was a little anxious, "That, mouse, can you squat down and let me take a shoulder?"
"That, you're more than 200 pounds, you just step on my shoulder, and I can't stand up. Li Haoran pouted.
"You can't get over yet, can't you get over?" said the little fat man inside the wall softly.
"We lost our grace when we climbed over the wall and went in, can we go and open the mountain gate wide?" Li Haoran said.
"Okay, you wait. Qin Feng's voice slowly walked away, and the little fat man still stayed in place, "What does it matter, no one sees it anyway, don't worry." ”
"I'm just worried, how to drop. The fat man was very depressed and followed Li Hao and left, this little fat man couldn't chat.
The two stood in front of the mountain gate for a while, the footsteps inside the door were far and near, the door opened, but it was not Qin Feng who opened the door, but a middle-aged man in his forties. The middle-aged man had a kind face and an extraordinary bearing, but at a glance, Li Haoran was sure that the person in front of him was none other than the head of the Iron Sword Sect, "Visiting late at night, there is a lot of disturbance, dare to ask Your Excellency is the head of the Iron Sword Sect?" Li Haoran stepped forward and saluted.
The middle-aged man waved his hand kindly and said: "No need to be polite, under the surname Wen, just call me Uncle Wen, I heard the two boys in the courtyard say that you want to come to stay, right?"
"Yes, we are here from Lijia Village, Bai County, and the main purpose of this trip is to find you, Uncle Wen. Li Haoran replied in a deep voice.
"Okay, it's cold outside, come in and talk. The head patted Li Haoran on the shoulder and beckoned the two to enter the door.
Entering the door is a huge practice ground, there are pine trees planted in the field, it looks very old, the northwest corner is a row of wooden stakes, there are high to low, the north field is placed with various stone locks, each size is one, the east field is placed two rows of weapon racks, the shelves are full of eighteen kinds of weapons. Follow the head of the house all the way to the front, pass a pavilion, and come to the inner courtyard, which looks more like a courtyard house, or a courtyard house.
The head took the two to a room, explained a few words, and went back to get the bedding. It is estimated that the two boys have been trained, and now they have gone to sleep, the room is very clean, there is no moisture, and the two wooden beds are placed against the wall. The two sat on the bed and waited, and after a while, the head came over, made the bed, and boiled hot water for the two.
It can be seen that the head of the house actually wants to know in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't ask now, but the head of the house has been waiting for the Tao to ask now, which makes Li Haoran have a lot of good feelings for the head of the house, and Li Haoran said about the situation of his uncle. When the head heard the news that his uncle had died, he let out a light sigh, the head listened quietly, and did not ask, Li Haoran recounted what happened in the cave on the way here, concisely and to the point, only said that the sword had been taken away from the air, and finally Li Haoran took out the iron card and handed it to the head.
The head took the iron card, and after a little inspection to see the return of the goods to the original owner, the head then asked some things about the uncle, and the two did not know much, and after a few words of greeting, the head left, walked to the door to help the two of them take the door, and listened to the footsteps to the backyard.
People who practice martial arts generally get up early, and there is a sound of greeting each other outside just after dawn, listening to the voice, the two boys also got up, and lay down for half an hour, it is estimated that it is the rest time of the two boys, and the two of them took advantage of no one to pay attention, and came to the courtyard and called out softly to Li Haoran and the fat man.
"Uncle?" As soon as he heard this title, the bed could no longer keep the two of them, Li Haoran put on a dress and pushed open the door, and said to the little fat man: "You little fat man, can you not call uncle, it seems to be too much, isn't it." ”
"Then, call you junior brother?" Qin Feng said curiously.
"Senior brother, forget it, you two should call uncle. Li Haoran turned around and went back to the bed to get dressed, and the two boys followed.
Li Haoran reacted at this time, the feelings of these two boys are coming to see the junior brother, apprenticeship is a very serious issue, first come and come, it has nothing to do with their own age, the first apprentice is the senior brother, and the second apprentice is the junior brother, this is almost a big round, when the time comes to call these two stinky boys senior brother, Li Haoran feels ashamed when he thinks about it, and the matter of apprenticeship is still pushed back first.
"Senior brother, I'm sorry for what happened last night, I was just about to open the door, when I saw my master and father standing in the courtyard, and then we were driven back to the room to sleep. Qin Feng explained with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, who let the two of you sneak out, by the way, just call uncle, I'm not here to worship your master as a teacher, it's something else. Li Haoran pouted.
"Okay, junior brother, then what are you here for?" Qin Feng had an innocent look on his face, obviously on purpose.
Li Haoran's face darkened, and he pointed at the fat man and explained: "You have a master uncle, and the fat man and I are the registered disciples of your master uncle, so according to the seniority, the two of you should call us senior brothers." ”
"Where are you two little broken boys running to be lazy? I'll count to three,......。 A young girl's sharp call came from outside the door, and Qin Feng and the little fat man didn't even have time to say hello, so they hurriedly ran out.
After getting up, a simple wash, there are only more than ten people in the huge iron sword gate, sitting together for breakfast, the atmosphere of the whole family is very harmonious, during which Li Haoran said that he wants to learn kung fu here for a month, and the head of the door nodded in agreement. Iron Sword Gate is an independent sect, originated from the Mo family, and has little to do with Taoism and Buddhism, about merit incense and incense money basically do not exist, so life is very tight, and the daily expenses are managed by the insiders of the head.
The lady of the head is about the same age as the head of the house, a woman in her forties, graceful figure, cold appearance, and a daughter under her knees, the girl's name is Yu Ruolan, her personality follows her mother, with a heroic face, and she is a female man at a young age. Qin Feng and the little fat man were talking to Li Haoran before, and she was the one who shouted outside the door, because they had a relationship at noon yesterday, the two broke into each other's school by mistake, which made the girl misunderstand the two of them, and directly equated the IQ of the two with the two little broken children.
So far, the head of the sect has accepted one disciple who is Qin Feng, and the rest can only be regarded as registered disciples, such as the little fat man, the little fat man is called Zhao Tiedan, who is the same age as Qin Feng, and in addition to being a registered disciple, he also acts as Qin Feng's playmate. There are more than a dozen people left, most of them are orphans, and there are also three or four who went up the mountain with tuition fees to learn art, originally they wanted to go to the Sword Sect, but the tuition fees of the Sword Sect were too expensive, so they retreated. After learning some housekeeping skills, you will go out to find a job, do martial arts, become a coach, open a martial arts gym and other swordsmanship-related industries.
According to the current situation, the entire Iron Sword Gate is unable to make ends meet, and there is a senior brother in charge outside who is pressing step by step, so it has to go out of business if it continues like this. Li Haoran and the fat man got a sum of ill-gotten wealth on the way here, considering the next livelihood problem of Tiejianmen, after leaving some travel expenses, they donated all the remaining money, but the lady of the head couldn't refuse, so she accepted it, after this incident, Yu Ruolan's attitude towards the two of them changed, and they got along quite well in the following days.
may be due to the upcoming New Year, the atmosphere of martial arts training in the division is slack, and the head of the sect has more time to supervise the two. Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, the senior brother in charge came up, one came to worship the master, came to send some food and clothing, the two senior brothers did not talk a few words and dispersed, cut off the sky to see Li Haoran and the fat man were also there, immediately informed the disciples to return the sword used by the uncle before his death, and the person who sent the sword both recognized that it was the young swordsman who almost stabbed the fat man to death with a sword.
The arrival of the broken space made the two of them more diligent in practicing martial arts, and the head of the house saw it in his eyes, and faintly planned to accept the two as apprentices, and the two of them also became the registered disciples of the head of the house. It is estimated that Qin Feng and the little fat man have waited for this day for a long time, and the little fat man has already gone home for the New Year.
Qin Feng followed behind the two all day long and called "junior brother", for Qin Feng, life here is boring and very boring, he has become a senior brother, Qin Feng often uses the name of senior brother, aside from senior sister, and takes the two junior brothers down the mountain to play video games.
In this way, the days passed quickly, and in two days it was the day of parting, and during this month, the head of the sect taught all the basic skills, and did not teach any swordsmanship. There is a study room inside the sect, and the two of them have also entered, but some ordinary books and classics of the sect, and there are no legendary cheats of the town faction, but there is a book that has attracted Li Haoran's attention, it is a booklet with a sense of age, the traditional Chinese characters used, and the printing time is the Republic of China period.
Li Haoran got a dagger when he was trapped in the brick factory, so he paid special attention to the use of daggers and the like, the iron sword gate just did not pass on the swordsmanship, but he was not so particular about this kind of skill, and he had the personal guidance of the master, and a few days later, Li Haoran and the fat man were also a little successful. The skills learned by the two belong to a sect in the Republic of China period, called the Little Knife Society, I don't know what happened, the classics of the Little Knife Society will appear in the Iron Sword Gate. This booklet is less than twenty pages in total, with a pattern in the middle and traditional characters all around, Li Haoran vaguely feels that the things taught by the head are much more than recorded in this book, since the head of the house taught secretly, the two of them did not break it, and they are even more grateful to the head of the house.
I have to leave tomorrow, rest this afternoon, the two of them were entangled by Qin Feng, Qin Feng as a senior brother wanted to test the two junior brothers, there were darts and targets in the martial arts training venue, the two of them could only shoot the darts at the target, but they could not shoot the bull's-eye, but Qin Feng shot eight or nine times out of ten, after a competition, the two of them were not convinced, but they didn't expect Qin Feng to have such ability.
The way of accepting apprentices in the Iron Sword Gate is more special, the head of the previous generation only accepted three disciples, namely the uncle, the broken sky and the current head, each disciple can only accept three disciples if they accept apprentices, these three disciples are also very particular, divided into three kinds of heaven, earth and people.
Heaven, talented and intelligent, this is to break the sky, can create a sword move, the masters who have been famous for a long time have heard of the name of a sword to break the sky, the cut off is equivalent to the ancient martial arts public enemy, or the scum of the martial arts, the broken sky can be stunned for so long, and it has a lot to do with his own strength, and now the transformation is successful, becoming a generation of grandmasters, and still killing.
The earth, immovable as a mountain, this is the current head, mainly responsible for the inheritance of the sect, the previous head is generally the earth, there are exceptions, the Republic of China period is the previous head of the heavenly person, maybe the iron sword door in the Republic of China period has something changed. People, to the love of sex, this is the uncle, is a temperament, about the life of the uncle knows very little, so not much to describe, may be the person is too affectionate to sex, so the head of the past dynasties has not been a person.
According to Qin Feng, he belongs to the heavens, and the heavens are often able to turn the tide in crises, such as taking the initiative to take them up the mountain that night, of course, Li Haoran and the fat man scoffed, which is obviously a coincidence. There is no banquet in the world, on the day of separation, Qin Feng took the initiative to ask to send the two down the mountain, this mountain road has been walked many times, this time it is the slowest to walk, come to the bottom of the mountain, find a newsstand, the fat man called home, and handed the microphone to Li Haoran without saying a few times, after Li Haoran took it, his face was obviously surprised, "What? Xiaoliu came to Jiaozuo to find me, a month ago?"
