Chapter 17, The Path

Turn the courtyard of the master, to the east of the Xu land, a towering gatehouse rises from the ground, the stone gatehouse is high, the plaque is in the middle, and the end is engraved with two big characters - "ask the path". Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Asking Path area is a place where Tiepai disciples live and cultivate.

Ah Yuan glanced enviously into the gatehouse, turned around and took Abu's hands and said to him, "I'll send you here." ”

Ah Yuan actually wanted to go in and have a look. He had heard others say that there was a large martial arts arena in the Wenjing area, and different martial artists took turns teaching various skills every day. There are light skills that can make people fly wantonly, hard skills that can make people invulnerable, swordsmanship that takes people's heads for thousands of miles, and swordsmanship that is brave and invincible...... There are strict regulations in the palace that Mupai disciples are not allowed to enter and leave the Wenjing area at will, and once they trespass, they will be regarded as stealing martial arts and will be handed over to the Criminal Law Department for disposal. He sighed in his heart and let go of the hand that was holding Abu.

Abu looked at the fingers holding his hands and released them one by one, and an inexplicable sense of loss crept from the bottom of his heart. These hands that had taken care of him meticulously, these hands that had tried so hard to protect him, these hands that had been supporting him since he entered the Demon Palace, and had never let go, were finally completely released. At this moment, Abu felt a little frightened. He suddenly had an urge to reach out and hold Ah Yuan's hand back, and he didn't let go, but he bit his lip and held back. He turned and walked towards the gatehouse. The rest of the way, he may have to go on his own. But one day, he believes there will be, if he keeps trying, they will be able to work together again.

"Come, stop." Two men dressed in miscellaneous uniforms stepped out of the shadows under the gatehouse, stopped Abu, and said without humility or arrogance: "Please show the number plate." ”

Ab took off the number plate from his waist and held out his hand to them.

The two of them inspected the number plate separately and handed it back to Abu with both hands. One of them asked, "The little brother looks very old-eyed, but is it the first time you have come to ask the trail?" ”

Abu nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The man said: "The first time the little brother came to the Trail District, he must not know much about this place, but he needs someone to accompany him to familiarize himself?" ”

Abu hugged his fists and thanked: "I have never been to the Wenjing area, and I am worried that I don't know the way, but it is just right that someone accompanies me." Thank you very much. ”

"Little brother is very polite." The man turned around with a smile and shouted, "Amai! Amai! ”

Immediately, there was a ping-pong sound in the corner room of the gatehouse, as if a pile of things had fallen to the ground. As the voice sounded, a small figure appeared in the room, but it was a little boy who looked to be only five or six years old in the color of a miscellaneous servant, and the anguins and trousers were mottled gray and yellow, and I didn't know where I had shopped it at a glance.

"Uncle Yao, what's the matter?" The little boy asked.

The handyman surnamed Yao said to the little boy, "There is a new Tiepai disciple in the Wenjing District, you can walk around with you and familiarize yourself with everywhere." ”

The little boy originally looked faint, but after listening to the words of the handyman surnamed Yao, he lit up, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

The handyman surnamed Yao said to Abu: "This child's name is Amai. Don't look at his young age, ask about the things in the Jing District, there is nothing he doesn't know, if there is anything unclear, just ask him. ”

Abu nodded, thanked the two of them, and followed Amai into the Trail area.

Seeing that Abu's figure completely disappeared behind the gatehouse, A-Yuan turned around and left silently.

……

"Big brother, where do you live? I'll take you to put the baggage first...... Hey? What about your baggage? Amai led the way by jumping all the way, jumping forward for a while, walking backwards for a while, and jumping and jumping non-stop. When he turned around as he said "baggage", he realized that Abu had not come to the trail area with all his belongings on his back like those people usually did, and suddenly screamed as if he had discovered a new world. There are also new ascending iron brand disciples who come to the Jing District without baggage? His little head couldn't turn for a moment.

Abu smiled and said, "I don't live here. He liked Amai's lively appearance.

"Oh~" Amai snorted self-righteously, "That-" His dark eyes rolled quickly, and he immediately smiled at Abu and said, "Big brother, look, you don't live here anymore, those places to live, places to eat...... You don't have to go or anything! Let's go directly to the martial arts arena, it's fun there! ”

Abu also agreed with Amai in his heart, anyway, he lived in the newcomer area, except for the martial arts arena, there was really no place he wanted to see in the Wenjing area. At that moment, he smiled and said, "You have a point. Then let's go straight to the martial arts arena! ”

Amai happily agreed, and jumped forward to lead the way.

Abu looked at the small figure in front of him and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Since this little guy has become a handyman, after removing the two-year period of the newcomer, it stands to reason that he will enter the palace at the age of three or four at most. But a three- or four-year-old boy can actually pass the death test? It's also incredible. He was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Amai, how did you enter the Demon Palace?" ”

"Me! I picked it up by Deacon Yu. The little boy jumped and turned around, and said heartlessly, with no trace of sadness on his face.

"Then you didn't pass the rookie period before you became a miscellaneous servant?" Abu then asked.

Ah Mai stopped, grimaced at Ab, and laughed, "I was picked up by Deacon Yu not long after I was born. Big brother, have you ever heard that the baby can practice? As he spoke, he jumped away happily again. It's as if not passing the rookie period is nothing to him.

The child probably doesn't understand anything, Abu thought to himself.

The martial arts arena is in the northwest corner of the Wenjing area, crossing the moon gate engraved with the word "martial arts", and a wide flat land is displayed in front of Abu's eyes.

The line of sight suddenly enlarged from the small moon cave to the wide martial arts arena, and the strong contrast made Abu's heart shocked. Although I am accustomed to seeing the vastness of the grassland, the pure stone platform spreads out in front of me, and the feeling of grandeur and atmosphere cannot be felt in any way on the grassland.

On both sides of the moon gate, rows of porch houses stretch endlessly into the distance. Some of the people were resting in the corridor, some were chatting in twos and threes, and occasionally someone raised their heads and looked at Ab who had come in from outside the moon gate, and looked away with little interest.

"There, there......" Abu was looking around as Amai screamed excitedly and threw himself out.

Abu saw a crowd of people pouring out from the porch not far to his right. Amai was running towards that side. So Abu followed after Amai to see what made the little boy so excited.

As soon as he arrived at the crowd, Amai drilled into it with great familiarity. Abu is also short, and the crowd is full of shadows, and he can't see what is going on inside. As soon as he saw Amai drilling in, he also rubbed in. When I got in and stood still, it turned out to be a man playing a big knife.

But seeing that the big man held a long knife in his hand, he slowly performed the techniques of holding, piercing, splitting, chopping, chopping, cutting, pounce, hitting, pointing, clipping, stabbing, pumping, wiping, dragging, pulling, dialing, crutches, painting, hanging, picking, cutting, hanging, cutting, hanging, hanging, hanging, hanging, cutting, hanging, hanging, cutting, fighting, fighting, cutting, cutting, fighting, fighting, pointing, clipping, stabbing, pumping, wiping, dragging, pulling, drawing, painting, hanging, picking, cutting, hanging, picking, cutting, hanging, hanging, cutting, hanging, hanging, cutting, hanging, hanging, hanging, cutting, hanging, hanging, hanging, cutting, hanging, hanging, cutting, hanging, hanging, cutting, hanging, hanging

After the performance was over, the crowd dispersed, and Amai came out of the crowd with unfinished thinking, "Let's go, let's go and see the others." ”

"Yes!" Abu also didn't feel enough, and responded, only then did he realize that something was wrong, and asked with some doubts: "What are you looking at all this?" Can handymen still learn martial arts? ”

Amai was not happy, and felt that Abu clearly looked down on his identity as a handyman, and said angrily: "Who said that handymen can't learn martial arts?" I'm on the second floor, and I'm just a little worse than you, big brother. ”

Well, even if you can practice the Condensing Qi Scroll, but the martial arts that the Mupai disciples are not allowed to learn, how can the miscellaneous servants be allowed to learn it?

So Abu kindly reminded Ah Mai and said, "The martial arts of the Ask Trail District can't even be learned by the disciples of the wooden brand. You're a handyman, and if you get caught, it will be bad. ”

Ah Mai glanced at Abu: "There is a rule in the palace that Mupai disciples are not allowed to enter the Qing area, but did you say that miscellaneous servants are not allowed to enter the Qing area?" Is there a rule that miscellaneous servants can't learn martial arts in the Wenjing District? ”

Ab was dumbfounded and speechless. For the first time, he discovered that there was someone in this world who could misinterpret the rules of the Demon Palace more than himself.

Ah Mai looked at Abu's speechless appearance, and suddenly felt proud in his heart, and he was not angry at what he said before, looked left and right at no one, pulled Abu's sleeve and whispered to him: "The martial artists who teach the techniques in the Wenjing District are mostly disciples who have not advanced in the Wenjing District for five years and cannot be promoted. Who would have come here to steal school? If you really want to learn martial arts, you have to go to the Xuanwu Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. That's where the real best martial arts are available. Ask about the martial arts of the Jing District, the palace doesn't care if it will be passed on! ”

"Then why do you stipulate that no disciple in the rookie area can enter the questioning area?" Abu didn't understand.

"It's not that I'm afraid of the newcomer's distraction! Deacon Yu said that if you practice the condensation roll, you will get twice the result with half the effort if you practice martial arts again. If the foundation is not laid, and you are still distracted to practice martial arts, take more time and not talk about it, in case the two ends do not land, it is like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon. Speaking of this, Amai tilted his head and smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of grasping both hands, winked at Abu and said, "I didn't listen to what Old Man Yu said, and I won't let go of all the sesame watermelons." "He's young, so he's not afraid to spend a little more time.

Old man? Although Deacon Yu looks a little more rigid, he won't become an old man in Ah Mai's mouth! Abu thought about Deacon Yu's appearance that he was obviously still very young, and he couldn't help but snicker in his heart. I can't take care of my own children, so I see that you will take care of Ayuan's affairs in the future!

It's justβ€”

"You're all a handyman, why are you still learning this?" No matter how good you practice, you're still a handyman!

When Ah Mai heard this, he was obviously unhappy, and said loudly: "Miscellaneous servants are also people, and they can also learn martial arts. There has never been a palace rule in the palace that stipulates that miscellaneous servants cannot practice martial arts. ”

"Can a handyman really practice martial arts?" Abu's heart moved.

"Of course!" Amai looked very sure.

"Miscellaneous servants can't be promoted, what's the use of learning this?" Abu asked.

"Although the miscellaneous servants can't be promoted, as long as someone is willing to accept it, they can continue to cultivate. Even Deacon Ning Qi is not a problem. That's what Deacon Yu told me! In order to prove the reliability of his words, Amai even moved out with Deacon Yu.

"Can Ning Wu really apprentice?" Ab asked again. If that's the case –

"yes!" Amai said confidently. Even if others don't accept him, at least Deacon Yu won't ignore him. As for the others...... Ah Mai thought of Yao Miscellaneous Servants, who had always been very good to him, and remembered the other miscellaneous servants who had been taking care of him, his high mood slowly lowered, and the pride in his heart disappeared, and he said in a low voice: "It's just that for most miscellaneous servants, these are no longer possible......

When Abu heard this, his heart ached. yes, what's the use of knowing that? Amai is just a special case. For Ah Yuan, the road to martial arts has been broken.
