Chapter 12: The Aftermath
On the way back to Gu's house after everything, Gu Chayi was very excited, although he suffered a lot of wounds, he still looked swaggering and complacent; Wei Zeng flipped the money bag in his hand, it was their reward for fighting the Demon Sect, although he was also happy, he also looked thoughtful.
Thinking back to last night's battle, it can be described as thrilling, if it wasn't for the sneak attack and the opportunity to kill nearly half of the people in one fell swoop, the two people who were surrounded had no chance of winning at all; If it weren't for the method of breaking the shield with a javelin, and killing the shield leader with lightning speed, only a few moves of this person would have resulted in the two of them; If you don't make a desperate last bet and kill the last leader with a javelin, you can also consume yourself to death.
In short, everything was too lucky, Wei Zeng asked himself if he could do it again like yesterday, it was really hard to say. If it was Wendi, I am afraid that there would be no need to sneak attack at all, and directly fight head-on with a sword, and cut melons and vegetables to wipe out those ten people.
Wei Zeng secretly said in his heart that he must improve his martial arts, if it is so thrilling every time, the goddess of luck will patronize others sooner or later. Wei Zeng glanced back at Wei Zhen, only to see Wei Zhen quietly behind him, walking with his head down, looking at himself from time to time with his eyes full of dependence, but there was also a little firm gaze that seemed to decide something.
Wei Zhen cried bitterly in Wei Zeng's arms after being rescued, and held Wei Zeng's hand tightly while walking on the mountain road for fear that Brother Wei would leave him, but Wei Zhen never said anything. Seeing Wei Zeng looking back at himself, Wei Zhen mustered up the courage to say to Wei Zeng: "Brother Wei, you teach me to practice martial arts, I don't want to be too useless, I can't even protect myself." Looking at Wei Zhen's expectant look, for fear of his refusal, Wei Zeng nodded and agreed.
Early the next morning, Wei Zeng was pacing in the courtyard of the Gu family, and Gu Chayi was forced on the bed by Gu's mother to let him recuperate. Seeing Gu Chayi being taken care of by Gu Niang like a child, Wei Zeng smiled. Because of their injuries, Wei Gu and the others stayed at home to recuperate without practicing martial arts and working. After helping with household chores, Wei Zhen read the medical book.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wei Zeng said in his heart: Who will come at this time? When Yan Hudun heard the news of the two yesterday, he came to visit them and granted them a vacation. The official commendation was given yesterday, and a few dozen taels of silver and a plaque were awarded. There are usually no people from the Gu family, and it is impossible for him to have anyone he knows in Guiwu.
Wei Zeng opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man in a white suit with beautiful breasts standing in front of the door, it was a warrior of the Wind Regiment. This person said with a smile when he saw Wei Zeng open the door.
"You are Wei Zeng, sure enough, the hero is a young man, and the two of them dare to confront ten cultists. Even the famous samurai of our Breez Regiment are nothing more than that. ”
"Who are you, what are you doing here?"
"You learn martial arts from Brother Yan, I once saw you at Brother Yan's house. As for me, I'm here to ask you more about that group of cultists. This was asked by the general regiment to come, after all, it is very unpleasant to let a group of hostile forces wander around under their eyes. If the little brother can tell the truth, Zhai and the wind group will remember the little brother's kindness. The warrior surnamed Zhai said very directly.
Wei Zeng thought about it carefully, and he had really seen the warriors of the Wind Troupe visiting Yan Hudun's house, and he had really seen this warrior surnamed Zhai. It's just that at that time, all the people who came to visit were in civilian clothes, and when I saw that he was wearing a bhood uniform, I didn't recognize him for a while. Seeing that this person was very direct and frank, he looked bold. Wei Zeng thought that it would be okay, so he told his experience in detail.
When listening to Wei Zeng's speech, the warrior surnamed Zhai looked thoughtful, and after Wei Zeng finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Wei Zeng and said: "Thank you little brother for telling me, Zhai still has the affairs of the community to do, so I will leave, if the little brother needs help in the future, go to Jijia Lane in Dongcheng to find me, and report the name of Zhai Lichai to find it below." Little brother heroic boy, if you can join my wind group, you should have a lot to do. ”
Wei Zeng saw that his solicitation politely refused, but Zhai Lichai did not force it, and left with a farewell. Because cultists and human traffickers are two different things, after Wei Zeng returned to the city, the official recruited various martial arts sects and asked them to cooperate in tracking down the cultists. The people of the Blaster Regiment also dispatched to fight the nearby demonic sect forces. As several small demon sect strongholds were defeated, many young girls were rescued, and some were brutally murdered late to go. As a result, the power of the demon sect faded out and returned to the surrounding area.
Not long after Zhai Li chased away, the door of the Gu family was knocked again, it seems that today is really eventful. Gu Cha couldn't stand the boredom of lying on the bed early in the morning, so he ran to the courtyard to talk to Wei Zeng, mostly about martial arts. He also picked up a spear and was about to practice, but was discovered by Gu Mu and almost caught back to bed. When they heard a knock at the door, they opened the door to look. Previously, Zhai Lichai had come to visit, and Wei Zeng had informed Gu Chayi.
This time the person who came was an acquaintance, Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi both knew each other, and they were the supervisors of the martial arts hall where the two of them used to be miscellaneous servants, and this was the first time they had seen this person since they practiced martial arts with Yan Hudun. I saw that this person was very enthusiastic and greeted Wei Gu and the others, and he was familiar with people. Then he said that he wanted to solicit the two of them, and he was euphemistically said.
Wei Zeng also sighed in his heart: In the past, he was looking for a teacher and wanted to learn martial arts, but he was ignored. Later, he happened to meet Yan Hudun and helped him fight the wolf in order to learn martial arts. Now that he has fought a war, he has made a small name, and someone has taken the initiative to invite him to join. Fame is really useful, no wonder those fledgling martial arts practitioners, even if they take great risks, have to challenge people everywhere and participate in various activities just for the word fame. The world is hot and cold, unless the Taoist hermit is far away from the world and retreats to the mountains and forests, otherwise he will be mixed in the world, who can avoid the vulgar.
As soon as Gu Cha saw that someone recognized him and felt really good to be complimented, he had to agree. But looking at Wei Zeng, he still looked like he was thinking, knowing that Wei Zeng was still very unique in seeing people and things, and thinking that he was now learning art with Yan Hudun, he might not be as good as the martial artist of the martial arts hall, so he didn't say much and saw how Wei Zeng responded.
"Thank you Guiwu Pavilion for the invitation, Guiwu Pavilion is also famous in Guiwu, and I think the martial artists in the hall are also strong in martial arts. But we are now learning art with others, and it is the most taboo to be a man and do things, and Master Yan has great kindness to himself, and he is willing to learn art with Master Yan. When the art is successful, if the Guiwu Pavilion does not dislike it, it is willing to contribute to the Guiwu Pavilion. Wei Zeng said.
"Now that the little brother has said this, it is too eyeless to force it down. The little brother is loyal and righteous, and he can be praised when he is successful in martial arts. As the saying goes, one more friend has one more way, and the little brother can't enter the museum, which is a loss for the museum. But the museum is willing to make a friend of the little brother, if there is something to come to the museum, as much as possible to help. Seeing Wei Zeng's resoluteness, the man showed disappointment, but immediately said decently. Then the man looked at Gu Chayi, as if asking.
"Me too." Gu Chayi also said. Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the man said a few kind words and took his leave. Before leaving, he handed the two of them a post, saying that the major martial arts sects were going to have a meeting on the fifteenth of this month to discuss some things. I hope that the two of them can come to the scene and communicate with the martial artists of Guiwu City.
Originally, in order to coordinate with each other, the various martial arts sects often met with each other, and sometimes some well-known scattered people were invited to participate. Of course, Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi could not participate in the deliberations, and it was a pure exchange of feelings.
In the past few days of Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi's cultivation, it can be said that it is not quiet at all. There are often martial arts sects invited, and no one comes when they are rejected. The family members of the girl who were rescued by the two also came to thank them, put down some local products and said goodbye.
After dealing with the constant visitors, the two of them were also well injured, and they began to practice martial arts again. Because of his small fame and caravans inviting him to accompany him, Yan Hudun felt that it would be good for the two of them to have more experience, so he persuaded him to agree. Although Gu's mother felt sorry for her son, she also knew the righteousness, so she allowed him to go out. Of course, the two of them knew that their martial arts were not mature, so they only took over the business in Guanbei, and as for the dangerous Yushan Mountain Road, the two would never go.
Going back and forth to Guiwu, Lu Ye, and Hebing, the two of them really saw the customs of Guanbei. Wei Zhen still studied medicine after he came back, and when he had time, he practiced some rough kung fu with Wei Gu and the others for self-defense. After the demon cultists were expelled from the vicinity of Guiwu, Weizhen began to go out to collect medicine again, but he was much more careful, and also helped the villagers to diagnose and treat some minor illnesses when passing through the village. In the villages near Wucheng, there is a little doctor in green, who often haunts the neighborhood to treat people's diseases. It was rumored that Weizhen had a good reputation.
On the fifteenth day of the same month, Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi participated in the gathering of various martial arts sects, and got to know many people in the martial arts of Wucheng. Exchanging martial arts experience with various martial arts people, inquiring about martial arts, and understanding the dynamics of martial arts also gave Wei Gu and the two people a lot of knowledge.
Wen Di once said in his competition with Wei Zeng that it was as important as a warrior to protect himself as it was to wound his enemies. The way to protect yourself is to dodge and block your weapons. Through his light and agile body, Wen Di made it difficult for Wei Gu and the others to touch his body, and he was invincible. And to damage the enemy, one depends on strength, and the other depends on speed. If you don't have enough strength to hit the enemy, you won't be able to do a lot of damage; Without speed, you can't hit the enemy's vital points when the enemy's flaws are exposed. The use of both requires skill, and the most basic is to send and receive freely. When a person's old power is exhausted and the new power is not released, it is also the time when the flaws in the body are exposed, and the master often seizes this time to defeat the enemy.
The master's strength only takes seven points, so the master's sword is very slow, but the master can return to the defense at any time to block, can change his moves halfway, and can also test the enemy multiple times. The master's sword is also very fast, and when the enemy's flaw appears, even if it is just a trace, the sword will take people's lives like a poisonous snake attack in an instant.
Wei Zeng thought that he would never be as agile as Wen Di, but Wei Zeng firmly believed that his strength was definitely strong enough. In addition, Yan Hudun attaches great importance to the training of basic skills, and Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi's next game kung fu are extremely well practiced. Wei Zeng specially asked the blacksmith to create a strong shield, practice the kung fu of shield fighting, and the powerful wielding of the steel cane in his hand, a wrestler style.
"If you can't dodge, block it." Wei Zeng just thought so simply. Ten flying knives on his waist, four javelins on his back, a wooden shield in his left hand, and a steel staff in his right hand This is the image of Wei Zeng now.
Gu Chayi has mastered the essence of Yan Hudun's marksmanship, and under Yan Hudun's guidance, his marksmanship is getting better and better. Yan Hudun also wanted Wei Zeng to learn marksmanship, but seeing that he practiced a shield and a staff very well, he didn't say much, and only taught him the staff and shield techniques he knew.
After the battle, Gu Cha also knew that his bow and arrow damage was too small, and he practiced his arm strength hard, although he couldn't fill the bow (Gu Cha Yi replaced a strong bow), but it was okay to be half smaller.
Time flies by like this, and it's been two years in the blink of an eye.
