There was a soft squeak.

Wei Tao looked around left and right, and gently pushed open the wooden door of his small courtyard.

It was pitch black in the house, and then the oil lamp was lit, and a person carried him to the door of the main house.

"It's Brother Tao who is back, and the food is still stuffy for you on the stove." Wei Rongxing put down the wooden stick that was inserted into the door and opened the door.

"What about Mother?" Wei Tao entered the room, picked up the water bowl on the table and took a sip.

"Today, I went to work in the jade workshop with your sister, so that my family can earn an extra two or three dollars of silver every month, and I can often buy you some meat to replenish your body."

Wei Rongxing brought a large bowl of rice from the stove, took out a piece of pickles from the vegetable jar, and put them all in front of him.

Wei Tao turned around and retrieved an empty bowl and divided the rice in half, "I ate a lot at noon in the martial arts hall, I can't finish this big bowl of rice, my father will help me eat some." ”

"I've had porridge at night." Wei Rongxing rubbed his hands and refused halfway, but he was defeated by those resolute eyes, and reached out to take the dishes and chopsticks.

"Did my mother and sister live together in the Jade Workshop?"

"Yes, they are there to take care of food and housing, and it is safe to earn a lot of money, which is good." Wei Rongxing ate quickly, and in just two sentences, he had already eaten half a bowl of rice with pickles.

"I also took a big job recently, so if you come down like this, you can almost make up enough for your accommodation in the martial arts hall for two months, and you don't have to toss back and forth."

"Which family did my father take over?"

"Well, the customer seems to be a teaching gentleman, two days ago we bought a yard near the inner city, and a few of our old fellows went to help people build houses, and the furniture of the whole house was built."

Wei Tao nodded, and emphasized again, "I heard from the teacher that the city has not been very peaceful recently, so you should be careful when you go out." ”

"I know, that gentleman also mentioned that there seems to be a war outside, and there are a lot of bandits of all kinds."

Wei Rongxing waited for him to finish eating, directly blew out the oil lamp, and began to clean up the dishes by the dim moonlight, "Don't worry, we come and go with a few people, and we will come back before dark, and there will be no problems." ”

The night was getting deeper.

Wei Tao lay on the bed, and his mind recalled again and again the tragic battle that took place in the alley.

More than a dozen living lives became cold corpses in an instant.

A ray of moonlight shone through the crack in the window, leaving a straight mark on his cheek like a sword's blade.

These are troubled times.

Human life is cheaper than grass and trees.

Without real strength, there is a threat of death at any time.

After a long time, he gathered his chaotic thoughts, quietly pushed open the door and came to the courtyard.

Pick up the homemade stone lock and start practicing it over and over again.

Qi and blood are sensed in motion.

And then it's more skillful.

Suddenly, the sound of opening the sluice gate and releasing water suddenly sounded between the hands.

Wei Tao subconsciously carried the qi and blood in his hands again.

Two streams of heat meander beneath the skin,

Circle along the route of the mirror,

Finally, it is condensed in the center of the palm.

His heart moved, his hands folded, palms intersected.

It was the crisp sound of the jade clash of stones.

"The palm of the palm is bright red like blood, and the touch is as hard as stone."

"It took me more than two months, and with the help of the improvement of Youshiquan's progress, it wasn't until I watched the fight tonight that I finally opened the door to Red Line Fist before the deadline."

Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes.

A flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

……………………

Whew!

Next to the hot cauldron, Wei Tao continued to sink his arms deep into it.

Qi and blood quickly converge in the palm of the hand, and then stabilize in a state of bright red like blood and hard as stone.

He could clearly feel that his potency for the absorption of the medicinal powder had at least doubled compared to before.

And the chain reaction brought about by this is enough to change the effect of the entire practice.

After practicing two sets of scrubs, Wei Tao slowly dissipated the qi and blood in his palms and came to the stone bench on the side to rest.

Many people on the field were still practicing hard in the scorching sun, and no one had the heart to speak, only Wang Lianshan was there alone, muttering to more than one person, not knowing what he was talking about.

The second senior sister who was on duty to guide the cultivation today was the second senior sister, except for standing beside Wang Lianshan at the beginning and giving some pointers, the rest of the time she was alone in the shade of the tree and meditated quietly, looking like no one was close to her.

Wei Tao naturally didn't go to her to report his idea of breakthrough.

Until the next day, senior brother Tan Pan appeared on the martial arts training ground.

Wei Tao practiced in the iron sand for half an hour, and then came to the stone lock area in the corner.

After using the gold coins to directly improve the progress of entering the hall, after more than a month of non-stop practice, he has improved the proficiency of You Shiquan by one percent, reaching seventy percent of the realm of perfection.

Under his control, the stone lock flew up and down, very agile, as if it had a life of its own.

Tan Pan was quickly attracted to attention, and came to a close place to watch with interest.

As time passed, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Especially when Wei Tao palmed up, held up the heavy stone lock with one hand, rotated rapidly, and made the sound of gold and jade colliding and rubbing, he couldn't help but stroking his palm and shouting hello.

"Big brother."

Wei Tao put down the stone lock, clenched his fists and bowed.

Tan Pan's eyes fell on his hand, and he said with a smile, "Senior Brother Wei, do you know that you have exceeded the entry standard?" ”

"Ah, am I already getting started?" Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, and then a surprised expression slowly appeared on his face.

He originally wanted to wait until Peng Yue was on duty, and then find out that he had reached the entry standard, which would save a lot of trouble.

After all, among the six official disciples in the inner court, he and Peng Yue, who was also from a poor background, walked the closest.

is not only the common secret of killing people and sharing money on the first day of apprenticeship, but also because after that day, he used the money he distributed at that time from time to time to invite Peng Yue to go out to sit and have a few glasses of water and wine to chat together to enhance the relationship.

As the so-called relationship goes deeper and deeper, the more it is used, the shallower it becomes.

Especially when the status of the two parties is not equal, it will cost more to maintain the relationship.

Whether it is in the modern society before the time travel or in the world after the time travel, the relationship between people is about the same.

And what Peng Yue said a few days ago in the burning of the White Building made him vaguely know that looking for a senior brother should have the same effect.

"Senior Brother Wei will follow me to the inner courtyard to see the teacher."

Tan Pan walked towards the inner courtyard first, and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Peng has talked about you in front of me more than once, and now it seems that his vision is not bad. ”

On the martial arts training ground, Wang Lianshan suddenly pulled his arms out of the iron sand, and watched thoughtfully at the backs of the two of them entering the inner courtyard.

"Heh, after observing for so many days, I actually lost my eyes."

Wang Lianshan turned to look at the registered disciple on the side, and laughed out loud, "I thought he would not be able to jump for a few days, but I didn't expect him to meet the entry requirements at the last moment, and he also entered the inner courtyard before me, and became the seventh disciple of the Red Line Gate." ”

His eyes were cold, and his expression was not at all like that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, "However, I, Wang Lianshan, don't like the number eight very much." ”

"Wang Shao, Wei Tao, he has already met the entry requirements?"

"Won't you go and see it yourself?" Wang Lianshan restrained his smile, and irritability and anxiety appeared in the depths of his eyes again.

His palms touched lightly, making a crisp sound like the symphony of gold and iron, "Just now the mood was agitated and blood surged, and even I accidentally reached the entry standard." ”

On the martial arts training ground, a group of registered disciples suddenly cast extremely envious and jealous eyes.
