A few days later.

Wei Tao took care of his body and came out of the house,

Follow the main road with many pedestrians and come to the martial arts hall cautiously.

He was ready to continue to pull Tan Pan to chat.

First, to gather more information about the Red Lantern Society,

Second, I can also ask for more spiritual experience by the way.

To his surprise, there was no one in the inner courtyard.

Tan Pan, who was still recuperating, didn't know where he went.

"Steward Wei, have you eaten?" Chef Fang saw Wei Tao from afar, and immediately ran to say hello to An, "The villain stewed meat in the inner kitchen, and the freshly steamed white flour steamed buns......"

"I really don't care about eating, so let's go get a bite."

Wei Tao touched his stomach and turned around and walked towards the small cafeteria.

"Senior Brother Seven, come and sit here."

As soon as she entered the cafeteria door, a slender girl stood up and greeted Wei Tao loudly.

Behind her, there were two middle-aged women with dark skin and tall stature, who looked at her vigilantly.

"You guys stay outside for a while, and I'll have a few words with Senior Brother Seven." Qi Wuya turned around and whispered,

Wei Tao's gaze stayed on the two of them for a moment, and then he smiled and greeted Qi Wuya.

"Senior Sister Qi, you are here today, could it be that you should be on duty today?"

"I'm not good at it, I can't teach people."

Qi Wuya smiled shyly, "Today is the third senior brother on duty, but he stayed in the outer courtyard for less than an hour in the morning and left, and he didn't stay for lunch." ”

"Where's the big brother?" Wei Tao pulled out a chair and sat down, taking the dishes and chopsticks handed by Qi Wuya.

"Senior brother went out early in the morning, and I don't know where he went."

"But I heard that it seems that the three families in the inner city convened a meeting, and it is related to the chaos and bandits that are getting more and more fierce outside."

Qi Wuya obviously knew something, and she chattered non-stop.

"More than one village outside the city has been ransacked by bandits, who not only looted things, but also committed mass killing.

I heard from my grandfather that many places are empty now, and people have either run away or have been found and killed......"

"If this continues, our martial arts hall may all be recruited, cooperate with the strength of the three major families, and join in the suppression of bandits."

"Also, now it's not just the chaos outside the city, but even inside the city, a lot of terrible things have happened recently."

"What's the matter?" Wei Tao asked.

Qi Wuya took a sip of broth and lowered her voice, "Senior Brother Seventh may not know yet,

In some slum settlements on the edge of the outer city, many people have disappeared without a trace.

Some alleys have even turned into dead ends. ”

"Missing? Didn't even find the body? ”

Wei Tao put down the dishes and chopsticks and frowned slightly.

Qi Wuya shuddered, "Occasionally, the corpses that are found seem to have been drained of blood, and they are dying miserably.

Grandpa said that he didn't let me run around for a while, and even if he came to the martial arts hall, he sent someone to follow him all the way to protect him. ”

Dry corpses, empty alleys......

It should be inseparable from the red light meeting.

However, these people are so blatant, do those guys in the inner city really ignore it and let it spread and develop?

Wei Tao listened silently, glanced at Qi Wuya, whose face was full of palpitations, and suddenly said, "Ninth Senior Sister, can you build protective gear at home?" ”

Speaking of the field he was familiar with, Qi Wuya suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, I can do such a simple little thing for Senior Brother Seven." ”

"The armor I want, preferably able to block the attacks of the Blood Condensation Martial Artist without damage, may be a little difficult."

Wei Tao thought about it and said slowly, "Listening to what Senior Sister Jiu said, the current situation is getting more and more chaotic, so I want to prepare some for myself in advance to defend myself." ”

"Blocking the attack of a master like Big Brother?"

Qi Wuya was silent for a moment and sighed, "I originally wanted to try to build it myself, but I didn't expect that Senior Brother Seventh would be so demanding, so I could only ask Grandpa to help." ”

As soon as he heard that it could be done, Wei Tao was suddenly in a good mood, grabbed a steamed bun and put it in his mouth, chewed it in three or two strokes, and swallowed it.

Immediately afterwards, he scooped up a fat chicken leg from the basin, put a whole piece of meat with bones and meat into his mouth, and chewed it and swallowed it in three or two strokes.

Qi Wuya, who was sitting opposite, was holding half a steamed bun and was stunned.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Wei Tao buried his head and quickly swept away the pot of stew in front of him, looked up at Qi Wuya, who was sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Oh, I'm full."

Qi Wuya hurriedly showed a smile, and added in her heart, "Just watching Senior Brother Seventh eat, I feel full." ”

"Then I'll eat them all."

Wei Tao nodded, took the basket of steamed buns directly in front of him, and filled a pot of stew, as if no one was around.

Qi Wuya didn't leave, she still sat there, holding her chin and watching him eat.

After waiting for a while, she hesitated and said, "Senior Brother Seven, I have a question. ”

Wei Tao didn't raise his head, "You say." ”

"I, I just want to ask, what realm has the Seventh Senior Brother reached now that he is practicing the Red Line Fist of the Sect?"

Wei Tao suddenly paused, and suddenly looked up into her eyes.

Seeing the eyes shot from the other side, Qi Wuya shivered.

She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Senior brother, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, I don't mean anything else, I really don't mean anything else, that is, I'm just a little curious." ”

Wei Tao did not speak.

The atmosphere became a little dreary.

She suddenly became even more flustered, and said in a trembling voice, "What's more, although I am also a beginner and have become a disciple of the personal lineage, I have not made much progress in my cultivation these days.

So I wanted to ask my brother for advice to see if there was something wrong. ”

Wei Tao slowly retracted his gaze and asked as if unintentionally, "You don't ask Senior Brother, and Third Senior Brother is here in the morning, why do you have to ask me?" ”

"Senior brother is very busy, and the third senior brother looks like no one is close, and I don't dare to disturb."

Qi Wuya kept rubbing the corners of her practice clothes and whispered, "And I think Senior Brother Wei is also very powerful." ”

"Don't guess nonsense yourself, compared to other senior brothers, I'm still far behind, where can I be considered powerful?"

Wei Tao's brows furrowed, and his tone became serious again.

"However, when I stood in front of Senior Brother Wei, the feeling of oppression I felt was encountered by Senior Brother before."

Facing Wei Tao's serious tone and calm expression, Qi Wuya's body trembled slightly, and even a little moisture was faintly visible in her eyes.

Wei Tao pondered in silence for a moment, trying to show a gentle smile.

"Maybe it's because I'm so fierce, that's why I make you scared.

If you really want to talk about strength, I do have a big gap with a few senior brothers, and it will take a long time to catch up.

Therefore, we should not only look at things on the surface, but also go deep into the essence, so that we will not be deceived by our own eyes. ”

He slowed down his voice and spoke, stabilizing Qi Wuya's mood a little.

Then he asked, "How long did it take for you to go from becoming a registered disciple to getting started?" ”

Qi Wuya roughly calculated and replied in a low voice, "My qualifications are average, and it took almost two months to barely pass the test." ”

"Two months isn't fast, but it's okay, at least much faster than me."

Wei Tao paused, knocked on the table, "Take your hand out." ”

"Ah, okay." She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised her hands from under the table.

"Roll up your sleeves." Wei Tao tapped on the table again.

Qi Wuya rolled up her sleeves in a panic.

The ten fingers are as slender as jade, and the wrists are snow-white and creamy.

Coupled with a small arm as moist as a freshly peeled onion, it is slightly reflected in the afternoon sun, as if it is a pure work of art.

His gaze lingered on this work of art for a moment, and finally he couldn't help but sigh, "What have you been doing here?" ”

She opened her mouth, her eyes full of doubt, "Senior Brother Seven, didn't you ask me to take my hand out?" ”

Wei Tao took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, trying to calm his tone, "Running Qi and blood, what can you see just by holding up your hands?" ”

"Oh." Qi Wuya nodded suddenly, her hands and forearms gradually reddened, and her muscles began to swell and bulge a little.

It's really a little bit.

It's better than nothing, but it's also only a limited amount of strength.

I have to wonder if she really fights against people, how much of the power of the red line fist can be exerted.

Maybe it's really like what Senior Brother said, the reason why Senior Sister Nine was able to get started successfully was because she was forced to pour out all kinds of precious medicinal materials.

"Alright, let's put it down."

Wei Tao fell silent again, thinking for more than a dozen breaths before he thought about it and said slowly, "I probably found a little problem, but what I said may not be right.

Just listen to it, if you can do the best, even if you can't, there is actually no loss to you. ”

"Senior Brother Seven, please wait a moment, I'll go get a pen and paper to record it."

Qi Wuya's eyes lit up, and she was about to get up from her chair.

"Don't bother, you just listen."

"Seventh Senior Brother, please speak." She sat upright and put on a deaf look.

He organized the language.

"Your qualifications are actually good, and you should have reached the entry requirements earlier.

The progress of cultivation after becoming a disciple of the sect should not be the current situation. ”

Qi Wuya was surprised, "What does Senior Brother Seven mean that I can really do better?" ”

Wei Tao slowly bowed his head, "In my opinion, what really prevents you from making progress is your amount of food!" ”

"My ...... Appetite!? Qi Wuya's eyes widened.

Wei Tao nodded solemnly, "Yes, it's the amount of food." ”

"The strength of qi and blood is closely related to physical fitness, and the two complement each other and promote each other.

You are so thin, and you don't eat much, even if you use all kinds of precious medicinal materials, but after all, you can't keep up with the consumption, so how can you strengthen your own qi and blood? ”

"It's like having a rabbit and a pig,

In the same case, how to practice rabbit it,

Can it be more abundant than a pig to practice qi and blood? ”

"If you don't like it, even if it is a god from the sky, it gives you the blood that far surpasses the elder brother,

With your thin and young body now, I am afraid that you will tear your flesh and explode to death on the spot. ”

Qi Wuya listened in a daze.

"But, I really can't eat too much, and I can't drink too bitter medicine." ”

Wei Tao drank all the broth in the basin, "I can't eat anything, this is the attitude you want to improve your cultivation?" ”

He pushed away his chair and got up.

"You can't even endure the trivial pain of eating, drinking, and vomiting, what else can you do?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to just don't practice martial arts and go home to get married and hug your children?"

Only Qi Wuya was left in the small cafeteria.

She stared blankly at the rice bowl in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind, reached out and grabbed a piece of fat meat bigger than her palm, and shoved it into her mouth.
