Chapter Forty-Nine: The Shield of the West Mountain

"Girl, I'm from out of town, and I don't know much about the Xishan faction, can you tell me a thing or two about the situation of the Xishan faction." Wei Zeng said to Wu Linzi, who was holding the little gray donkey with a smile on his face.

"The situation of the Xishan faction? What do you want to know, my master said that everything should be put in the first place, and he didn't tell me much about the affairs of the sect, and I didn't know much. If only my senior brother or second brother were here, they would know everything. Wu Linzi replied.

"I'm not looking into any secrets, I just want to know some of the current situation of the Xishan faction. For example, who there are, what martial arts they practice, and the relationship with other sects. Wei Zeng replied.

"We have five people, including my master, my mother, my senior brother, my second senior brother and me. Practicing martial arts is naturally the martial arts taught by the master, and the main thing is to make a shield. The relationship with its sect, is there any other sect besides our Xishan sect? I don't know. Wu Linzi thought for a moment and replied.

"Just five people? You don't recruit disciples, don't you all say it first: You have a strange bone and something like that, right? And the girl, this is the first time I've gone out. Wei Zeng said.

"Hey, how can you be all right, did you really not know about our Xishan Sect before? Those words of accepting disciples were indeed taught by my master, and this is how I was accepted as a disciple by my master in the first place. Master also taught some techniques, but they were too complicated for me to remember. I have been practicing martial arts with Master since I was a child, and this is the first time I have gone out, and Master said that I will either travel abroad for a year, or I will bring him an apprentice back. I didn't expect to be able to go back just after I went out, thank you very much. Wu Linzi said.

"Hehe, the girl is so funny. Can you give me an overview of the people in the sect? Wei Zeng had a feeling of being pitted. But I think that although this girl is a little cute, her martial arts are indeed not bad, anyway, she is going to learn martial arts, as long as she can learn skills, why care about anything else.

"I haven't asked what my master's name is, anyway, it's very good at martial arts, and I know a lot of truths. Shi Niang is very kind to our disciples and very good, but Shi Niang doesn't know martial arts. The elder brother's name is Chi Xuewen, and he likes to read, write, write and draw after practicing martial arts, have you seen the painting on my shield, it is the senior brother's flower. The pattern on the cloth on Xiao Ash's body was embroidered by myself by asking the senior brother to help draw the pattern. The second senior brother is called Zhen Haocai, he likes to collect some very old bottles and cans, and he also likes to save money, but all the money he saves is used to buy bottles and cans. My second senior brother is very smart, and he takes care of the expenses of our sect, and he also told me some truths that the master did not teach when he went out this time. He also told me not to talk about accepting apprentices as taught by the master, and to travel abroad for a year, otherwise I would be beaten. Oops, I forgot. Brother Wei, you won't beat me, right! Wu Linzi remembered this as he spoke, took a step back and looked at Wei Zeng with some concern.

"Hehe, where will I beat you, besides, I can't beat you." Wei Zeng said with a dry smile.

"If you don't hit me, it's fine. Master said you can't hit someone for no reason. The second senior brother said that he could beat someone for a reason. Brother Wei, you have a reason, you don't beat me, you are a good person. Wu Linzi put his mind at ease, and happily led the little gray donkey in front of him.

"Sister Wu, you gave me this donkey, but you walked by yourself, how bad is this, or you should come up too." Feng Liansheng said to Wu Linzi.

"Sister Feng, you don't have to worry about me, anyway, I don't ride Xiao Ash. Master said that walking can strengthen the body, and as a shield guard, the body is the most important, so walking with weight is the best. Sister Feng, you are so beautiful, your body is not heavy, you are the most suitable to ride Xiao Ash, I have been thinking of ways to make Xiao Ash look more beautiful, and now the problem is solved. Wu Linzi said excitedly.

My sister was laughing again. I also saw this little gray donkey a few days ago, but I didn't expect this meeting to be a big change, sister, why do you like the little gray donkey so much? Feng Liansheng said.

"Actually, I don't just like Little Gray, I also like Little Flower, Little White, Little Yellow, and I've always liked to dress them up beautifully. The elder brother said that beautiful things can be pleasing to the eye, and those who love beauty will also become noble, and only when there is beauty in life will people be nostalgic. I'm going to bring beauty to all the little animals I love. Wu Linzi replied very seriously.

"Sister Wu is really a person who loves beauty, and to love beauty is to create beauty, to complete beauty, and to bring beauty to the things you love. This is much better than those who only know how to possess beauty. Feng Liansheng sighed and said.

"Sister, are you still praising me? Sounds like a lot of fun. In fact, my sister is the most beautiful, and it would be good to be with my sister every day in the future. Wu Linzi said happily.

"I will always follow Brother Wei, as long as Brother Wei is willing to learn martial arts in the Xishan Sect, I will naturally stay, and I will naturally be able to get along with my sister every day." Feng Liansheng said.

"Brother Wei, you must stay in our Xishan faction, my master is really strong in martial arts, the senior brother is very knowledgeable, the second senior brother is very shrewd, you can learn a lot if you stay." Wu Linzi turned his head and said to Wei Zeng.

"As long as I can learn that skill, I will naturally learn from him." Wei Zeng replied.

After five or six days, the three of them arrived at a narrow valley surrounded by green hills, and there were no other homes around. There are several houses in the valley, and there are several acres of reclaimed land in front of and behind the houses.

There are rows of mulberry and willow trees planted in front of the house and behind the house, and a man in Confucian clothes is holding a book and shaking his head under the tree in front of the house. Wu Linzi happily greeted the man from afar.

"Isn't this a little junior sister? Haven't you traveled outside, how can you come back after only a few ****, isn't it that you are not entangled. For my brother, I still have some savings here, so let's take it for the time being. When the man saw Wu Linzi put down the book, he was about to take the money out of his arms.

"No, big brother, I'm not short of money. Master didn't say that I would either travel for a year or bring him back with a famous disciple. This Wei Zengwei brother wants to learn art from the master, so I will bring it back. Wu Linzi replied.

"You won't rely on Master to teach you those words to bring people back, right? This Wei Zeng brother doesn't look stupid. I'm sorry Brother Wei Zeng, I'm complimenting you on being smart. In the lower pond of learning, this is polite. Chi Xuewen said.

"Of course I relied on the things taught by the master, and the things taught by the master really worked, as soon as I said Brother Wei, I came." Wu Linzi said.

"Little junior sister is really powerful, it seems that our Xishan faction is expected to prosper! For my brother, I can't catch up with the horse. Hearing this, Chi Xuewen gave a thumbs up and said with admiration on his face.

"This is all taught well by the master." Wu Linzi said modestly.

"Is this girl also here to learn martial arts, it's never been a matter for two people to come at once." Chi Xuewen said.

"This Sister Feng is with Brother Wei, not here to learn martial arts. Where is the second senior brother, why haven't I seen it? Wu Linzi replied.

"Your second senior brother has gone out to buy daily necessities, and he can come back in the evening. Master come out quickly, the little junior sister has brought you an apprentice back. Chi Xuewen shouted into the room.

An elderly man in his forties came out of the room, holding a wooden staff in his hand, with a goatee, and a somewhat sallow but powerful face. The elder was a little displeased, holding a wooden cane and pointing at Chi Xuewen and said.

"You kid usually looks quite honest, and he even makes fun of his teacher. I took a lot of hard work to accept your three apprentices, how can your little junior sister bring people back after only going out for more than ten days. It seems that you have also learned badly with the second child. ”

"Master, I really didn't lie to you, isn't this the person brought back by the little junior sister?" Chi Xuewen pointed at Wei Zeng and said to the elder.

"In the next Wei Zeng, I am here to meet my seniors. Wei Zeng went out this time to find a teacher to practice martial arts, and I heard Miss Wu say that her predecessors were strong in martial arts, so she came here. Wei Zeng said with a bow to the elder.

Seeing this, the elder took back his wooden staff, straightened his clothes, and put on a high-ranking appearance, and said, "You are here to learn from the teacher, not bad." It's hard to say about my Xishan faction, but the real ability is definitely there. It seems that you have also studied martial arts, let me take the test of your martial arts first. Take out your weapons and attack me as hard as you can, don't worry, if I can't even stop this, how can I have the face to be someone else's master. ”

"That's offended." Wei Zeng also wanted to see how the old man's martial arts were, so he took out his shield staff and attacked the old man.

The old man didn't make any big moves, but he simply defused Wei Zeng's offensive with a simple wave of the staff in one hand. Wei Zeng was surprised in his heart, this old man waved his hand, and the strength was difficult for Wei Zeng to resist, which was different from the skill of four or two thousand catties. After Wei Zeng made more than a dozen moves, the elder hit Wei Zeng's shield with a cane, knocked Wei Zeng back a few steps, and then retracted his staff and stroked his beard and said.

"You have indeed worked hard to practice kung fu, but unfortunately your strength is not right, you can't send and receive freely, you are just relying on a fierce attack on the enemy. It's okay to deal with ordinary people in this way, but if you meet a good martial artist or a powerful person, then you will suffer. And you're not on a steady footing and you're not at the right pace. As a shield guard is very important, because the shield guard cannot be avoided, can only be hard to receive the enemy's moves, only the next game is stable, in order to counterattack after being attacked by the enemy, otherwise they will not be able to stand firm, let alone attack the enemy. And you won't be able to unload the force, relying entirely on the strength of the body to withstand the attack, which will suffer a big loss. But in general, you have a foundation, and the mistakes are not very serious, as long as you correct them, you can quickly fix them. ”

Wei Zeng endured the old man's last cane, and after taking a few steps back, he was numb, and it was difficult to attack for a while, and he was also surprised by the old man's martial arts in his heart. Hearing the old man's comment that he did talk about the illness of his martial arts, Wei Zeng admired the old man for a while.

"What the predecessors said is extremely true. Wei Zeng has been taught, and I don't know if the seniors can accept him as an apprentice. ”

"Is this it? You were brought back by Lin Zi, I still trust Lin Zi's vision, you explain your life history clearly, and I will think about it. "In fact, the old man wants to agree immediately, but when he thinks about cheap things, people will not cherish them, and if he loses his value, this apprentice may not be able to receive it, and this has not happened before.

So when Wei Zeng introduced his life experience, the elder frowned and pretended to be very embarrassed.

"You have traveled thousands of miles from Kanbei to Kansai to save people, and you are also a loyal person, the character of this martial artist is the most important, and martial arts is secondary. Lin Zi really didn't see the wrong person. Originally, I was too old to accept any more apprentices, but seeing that you were so sincere, I reluctantly accepted you. This Feng girl can also stay, she must be with you. If she is interested, she can also learn martial arts to strengthen her body. Come with me to the statue of the patriarch and bow to the teacher. ”

"Wei increased his gratitude. I haven't consulted my teacher's name yet. ”

"This name is just a code name, why bother too much, just call me Master, don't you want to call me by my name in the future." The elder said teasingly.

"If you don't dare, you're reckless." Wei Zeng hurriedly apologized.

The old man took Wei to pay homage to the house, and the old man was excited: "I finally received the fourth apprentice, it's not easy, it's not easy." I think how much it took to bring back the three apprentices, and each one is more wonderful than the other. This time, I finally received a normal apprentice. ”

"Lin Zi did a good job, this time as a teacher, I will definitely reward you well, say what do you want?" The elder said to Wu Linzi after Chi Xuewen left with Wei Zeng.

"Master, can you do anything?"

"Nature can do anything."

"Then can you give me that string of beads from my master?"

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a string of beads, just give it to you."

"Great, my little ash can be prettier."
