In the middle of the room before and after the inn, there is a small empty field, which is suitable for playing with guns and sticks. Because there were no bystanders in the inn, it was temporarily changed to a martial arts arena.

Li Yi is humble and friendly, so he keeps a straight face and puts on a master's style, which he really can't do. Treating each other with kindness and pleasantness is of course not conducive to teaching, and the apostles' kung fu has different degrees of flaws. There are fewer requirements for many details, but the speed of several people learning martial arts has been accelerated a lot, and the master and apprentice are entertaining and have a good relationship.

Zhao Neng rushed to work day and night, delivering the spear to the hands of each apprentice, and the four of them had real guys, and Li San still played with the burning stick.

After a few days, Li Yi did some understanding of several people, their parents were all children of the Han Dynasty, and the reasons were different, but they were all forced by life, and they had to leave their hometowns and drift to the border gates. Wang Ren and Liu Ping studied in private school for a few days and knew thousands of men; Xue Wu and Song Si were both illiterate; Li San doesn't know much words, but his settling skills are first-class.

Wang Ren's father was a pioneer in Taiping Village, so the family was mostly fertile and fertile, and after more than ten years, the family was relatively well-off. With the death of his parents one after another, Wang Ren lost his restraint and gradually formed a disposition that loves to make friends and fight for others.

Liu Ping's family is quite passable, but he has been thin since he was a child, and he was always bullied by other children, and later befriended Wang Ren, under the protection of his brother, no one dared to trouble him. Liu Ping's weakness when he was a child also formed a character of being alert and fickle, and being sleek and old-fashioned.

Song Si and Xue Wu are from other villages, Song Si's home is more than 50 miles away from Taiping Village, he became an orphan when he was a teenager, because there is no one to discipline him, he is idle all day long, he doesn't want to hurt someone a few years ago, and fled over the mountains and mountains to avoid disaster to Taiping Village. With Wang Ren's protection, he can live a stable life.

Xue Wu's home is more than 30 miles away from here, he fights with people all day long, and is often beaten by his father when he is young, but as he grows older, his father sees that his bad habits are difficult to change, so he expels him from the house, and since then Xue Wu has been wandering in four towns. Without restraint, Xue Wupoke's basket was bigger, and as he made enemies everywhere, he could only hide in Tibet. When Xue Wu came to Taiping Village, Wang Ren saw that he was good and righteous, so he left him at home. Xue Wu was grateful for Wang Ren's kindness, and because Wang Ren's martial arts were a cut above him, under his restraint, his rough temper gradually converged.

Song Si, Xue Wu and Wang Ren have a deeper and deeper friendship, the three of them will have five moves and eight styles, Liu Ping and Wang Ren are good friends, because the four of them are like-minded, so they have a heart of worship. So Wang Ren, Liu Ping, Song Si, and Xue Wu formed brothers with different surnames. Among the four, Wang Ren is the longest, followed by Song Si, Liu Ping, and Xue Wu.

Li San's situation is more special, he doesn't know his origin, since he was a child, he followed the shopkeeper, drifted to Taiping Village, at that time was at the peak of the escape, the old shopkeeper saw a business opportunity, so it was convenient for the village to press a few thatched houses. As the business prospered, the inn expanded until it reached its current size.

The full moon is lost, and the prosperity must decline. As the area became overcrowded, its attractiveness gradually diminished, and the number of migrants declined rapidly, the inn business was not as good as it used to be. Especially three years ago, the war made the Han and Xian enemies, and the customs blockade and trade were not smooth, which dealt a fatal blow to the Taiping Inn. Later, the situation improved, Liaoxi is located in the middle of nowhere, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, smuggling and smuggling are becoming more and more rampant, the government turns a blind eye, fills the private pockets, makes a lot of money, so that the inn business has improved, but the reception is only seasonal merchants, and it is far away to regain the glory of the past.

As the saying goes, "Four people are concentric, and their profits are gold". With three good helpers, Wang Ren's strength is growing day by day, and he is restless, and the affairs of the four miles and eight villages cannot escape his control. Because of the strength of the four people, they won the title of "Taiping Four Tigers". Within a radius of dozens of miles, everyone knows the name of the "Taiping Four Tigers".

Although Li Yi is kind and humble, the four apprentices only talk about the scenery, but they don't say a word about the things that can't be put on the table, Li San also saw the wind and the rudder, knowing that this eldest brother is not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later there will be a day when he leaves, he doesn't dare to say more gossip. Li Yi has always been kept in the dark.

Wang Ren and others already have some foundations, and they are all ordinary people, and they learn faster than ordinary people. The master and apprentice worked together, and in only seven days, several of them learned the whole set of marksmanship.

In the early morning of the eighth day, the four apprentices came to the inn again as usual. Li Yi has already taught the ability to take care of the house. Seeing that a few people were still unsatisfied, revealing expectant eyes, Li Yi was very helpless, and he said happily: "Master's little ability has all been shaken. As the saying goes: The master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual. As a teacher, you can only take a glimpse of the door, and the next road requires your own efforts. Practice makes perfect, if you want to go to the next level, you need to put down a heart and repeat every action tirelessly. The initial interest in learning martial arts is motivated, but as time passes, the novelty will gradually fade. Simple repetition is boring, what is needed is willpower, perseverance, perseverance, in order to have the last laugh. ”

Several people looked at each other, revealing different expressions. Xue Wu was very proud, and satisfaction made him feel happy. Song Si's expression was normal, and he felt a little moody. Wang Ren's expression was gloomy, and the pursuit of higher goals was his greatest wish. Liu Ping let out a long breath, it's okay to practice martial arts, but what's the use? With his thin and withered physique, is it possible to fight bravely and ruthlessly, and even charge into battle? Li San's expression was gloomy, and the eldest brother showed a tone of traveling far away, after he finished teaching kung fu, wouldn't he want to leave?

Li Yi glanced at everyone, his eyes were full of expectation and nostalgia, and they were about to part, and he didn't know when they would meet again. Li Yi didn't feel a sour nose, he looked into the distance, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time. After being silent for a long time, Li Yi reluctantly smiled and said: "We got together because of fate, but I am poor and have no gifts to give." Li Yi is obsessed with how old you are, and after recognizing a few more words, he is arrogant and has the intention to give the name of the watch as a permanent memorial, I don't know what a few people think? ”

Everyone was stunned, especially Wang Ren, according to his judgment, Li Yi was alone, without worry, and he would provide food and lodging, and he would have no worries, wouldn't it be a good home?

Wang Ren is planning to think of some way to push Li Yi into the water, and his status is naturally above the three brothers. Seeing that the master was leaving now was a big shock to his plan, which made Wang Ren feel shocked in his heart.

"Master, isn't it good for the apprentices to take you?" Wang Ren couldn't help but blurt out.

"Good! Very good, everyone respects me Li Yi, and I thank you very much. But everyone has their own ambitions, I am an idle person, the first task has been accomplished, you are all smart and clever, I am very pleased. The next challenge is waiting for me, I have to leave Taiping Village! Li Yi's eyes were blazing, and he looked in the southwest direction.

Wang Ren knew that he couldn't keep it, he was upset, frowned and asked, "What does Master want?" ”

Where to go? Li Yi's thoughts were not mature enough, but several people were staring at him, and he hesitated again and again: "Luoyang!" ”

"Luoyang!" Xue Wu couldn't help but exclaim, in his thoughts, it was an unreachable place, and he might not go once in his life, and he couldn't help but be very surprised that the master was going to Luoyang.

"In Luoyang, the imperial capital, the great-grandfather of the apprentice went there once, but at that time the family was still well-off, and the residence was twice as close to the capital. But this is outside the border gate, thousands of miles away from Luoyang, the master is on foot, I don't know what year and month to reach the destination? Liu Ping has enough knowledge, has a certain relationship with his ancestors, has excellent genetics, and his ideology is also very different from ordinary people.

"Yes, Master still don't go, be with the apprentices, guide the martial arts, and watch the apprentices learn skills, isn't it great, why go to such a far place and suffer that sin?" Xue Wu's expression was full of reluctance.

"I have made up my mind, and I will never change it." Li Yi shook his head: "The boy is determined to go out and break through, only then can he know the size of the world, otherwise he will never be able to escape the fate of the caged bird and the frog at the bottom of the well." ”

"A good boy has ambitions in all directions, and Master's words are very good, and I, Song Si, agree with this point of view!" Song Si was silent for a long time, and he was shocked when he spoke.

Glancing at Song Si, Wang Ren reluctantly smiled and said, "Ren failed to do what the master wanted, which made you unhappy, but the master is open-minded and generous, and he will not worry about it." Our master and apprentice, although the time is very short, but the friendship is long, and we are willing to send the horse to travel for the master when we are leaving! ”

That's a generous shot! Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he thought to himself: If such a rich gift is accepted, wouldn't it be a little too arrogant? If you don't accept it, you will live up to his wishes.

Li Yi seemed to be in a dilemma, and he had an idea: "My gift has not been given yet, how can I receive your gift!" Let's get down to business and get back to the point. ”

From the moment Li Yi accepted the apprentice, he had the idea of changing the name of his apprentice, but he was not very familiar with it at that time, and it was not easy to be arrogant. Later, I learned that Song Si, Xue Wu, and Li San were all lonely, and the prince of heaven and earth was a teacher, and it should be feasible for him to be a master and eldest brother, and to give his apprentices and brothers a more elegant name.

"Good!" Xue Wu applauded, Song Si, Li San and others also echoed, in front of others, Li San only remained silent, only when he was alone with Li Yi, he would reveal his true feelings and talk about everything.

Li Yi is a science student, not as knowledgeable as a literati, and his export is complete, he pondered for a moment, wondering who to start with?

Pregnant! Wang Ren! He is the leader of the crowd, if he is killed, will others be dissatisfied? Li Yi Zhenzhen said: "The word benevolence is the first of the five constants, the benevolence of the king, the monarch of the people, to love the people like a son, the heart of the people, not to add to themselves." The benevolence of the common people is for unity and fraternity, mutual help, sympathy for the weak, and benevolence. There is no virtue and no benevolence, otherwise false benevolence and false righteousness! Wang Ren's expression is Huaide, I hope you will be more benevolent in the future and spread virtue. ”

When a man reaches the age of the weak crown, the elder of the parent will hold a coming-of-age ceremony to crown it. But it is limited to the upper class of scholars and doctors, and the people at the bottom are busy with their livelihoods, how can there be such leisure and elegance. Wang Ren's family is well-off, and he is in the middle of the two, if his father is reincarnated, he may be crowned with a watch, but his father has been dead for many years, and the people who have intersected with him, how many illiterate men, who will mention such things, and who has such talents? Therefore, after a long delay, it ended without a problem.

Seeing that the master was right, Wang Ren was very happy in his heart, but he heard that the false benevolence was false and righteous? He suddenly felt in his heart, could it be that he had leaked some rumors? Master is waking me up with words? No, the master has been kind and pleasant for the past few days, and has never expressed the slightest dissatisfaction. That master should have been improvised, and he felt it, and saw that my Wang Ren was unwilling to be reluctant, and took it as a wake-up call!

Time was urgent, Wang Ren had no time to think about it, he was noncommittal, he could only nod again and again, and then said with a hearty smile: "Huaide, what an atmospheric word, disciple remember the master's teachings!" "Say a deep salute.

Li Yi has some understanding of this kind of Wenzi game, he just disassembled and assembled, and it does not contain any meaning. Wang Ren is a thief with a weak heart and thinks too much.

Everyone saw Li Yi's witty words, Wang Ren nodded and applauded frequently, and they all felt that the master was talented, and they admired it more and more.

After getting Wang Ren, Li Yi turned to Liu Ping and said: "The meaning of the word flat is very numerous, and the words are too many to list, such as ordinary, ordinary, etc., which are extremely ordinary. As a teacher, I will take this ordinary, for you to express the word extraordinary, I hope you can be down-to-earth, work hard, and become an extraordinary talent! ”

Liu Ping was so happy when he heard this, he praised repeatedly: "Thank you Master, thank you Master for your kindness, follow Master's teachings, start from ordinary things in a down-to-earth manner, and finally be reborn!" ”

Li Yi nodded with a smile, then turned his head to look at Song Si and Xue Wudao: "As the saying goes, one day is a teacher, and one life is a father." The two of you either unfortunately lost your father, or broke off with your father, and Master will have the courage to change your nickname! ”

Although Xue Wu and Song Si are illiterate in big characters, they are also self-aware, listening to those who read, they all have a beautiful name, and their names can be called names? That's simply a code name. With the acquaintance with Wang Ren, several people twisted into a rope, their careers flourished, and their status gradually improved.

Wang Ren is understandable in his behavior, but he does not understand the spiritual needs of his brothers and does not consider the two of them. And Li Yi is materially poor and can only do other articles.

"The master has a wide range of knowledge, and the disciple can't ask for it!" Song Si thought of his deceased parents, and he said with tears in his eyes: "I have lost my parents, and now, you are the only elder of the disciples. ”

In the interval between practicing martial arts, Li Yi once talked to his apprentices about the use of your words, and he half-jokingly said: "Your words and hearts are for you, which means to put the other party in your heart; When you say that you are going to someone, when you call you, you are insulting that the other party is not a person! I didn't think of unintentional words, but they were used by Song Si.

Before Song Si's words fell, Xue Wu immediately patted his chest and said: "I, Xue Wu, have been constantly getting into trouble since I came out of the womb, and my parents have long stopped seeing my son, otherwise they wouldn't have kicked me out of the house!" Now it doesn't matter if I go home or not, they don't care if I change my name or name, Master, you can think about it! ”

After listening to Xue Wu's words, Li Yi was angry and funny, thinking that I had to enlighten him and help him untie the knot. So he said earnestly: "Children will always be precious in the hearts of parents, parents are eager to become talents, it is inevitable to hate iron and steel, and it is understandable that words and deeds are excessive, but they will regret it afterwards, but they will not give in in front of their children because of their face, but they have long hoped that you will go home in their hearts." The five constants of Confucianism are 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith', since you are the fifth oldest at home, you will be called Xue Xin. People are based on faith, and filial piety is the first, and your expression is called filial piety. ”

Xue Xin lay on the ground, kowtowed his head again and again, and said: "The disciple remembers the great kindness of the master, but the master does not know the temper of the father, if the apprentice does nothing, he will go home with such a swagger, he will definitely be beaten and scolded by the father, and then driven out of the house." The disciple swore that he would never go home if he didn't make a fool of himself! ”

Li Yi nodded, thinking in his heart: It seems that his hard work has not been in vain, I just hope that Xue Xin is not a whim, he can understand from his heart and make something great from now on. Li Yi bent down to help Xue Xin up, and comforted him with kind words: "People say: Where there is a will, there is a way!" If you have great ambitions, you are not afraid of the day when you do not succeed, and the master hopes that you can get your wish, and when you get ahead, the master will accompany you home and meet your father! ”

Although he said this, Li Yi didn't know if he could really accompany him home. Xue Xin was very grateful when he heard this, and knelt down and kowtowed again, Li Yi was afraid that he would break his head, so he hurriedly grabbed him.

Li Yi set his eyes on Song Si, and he pondered for a moment and said: "The four are wise, and the wise are smart, so you will be called Zhizi Sicong!" I hope you are sensitive, studious, diligent in thinking, and become a smart and wise person of insight! ”

Song Zhi acted calmly and flexibly, but his family was poor, which limited his development, seeing that the master had high expectations for him, Song Zhi said: "Thank you Master for your apprenticeship, but I don't know what this wisdom and cong look like!" Xue Xin also shouted on the side: "I'm so big, I'm afraid that I can read, except for being able to write the two words Xue Wu!" I don't know a few words, as for the letter and filial piety, I am also the same as Song Laosi, it knows me, but I don't know it! ”
