Half an hour later, everyone came out of the meeting room and dispersed to begin their practice.

Wei Tao was in front of a human pile, and he practiced his playing moves for a while.

His brow furrowed from time to time, as if he was a little distracted, thinking about something.

"The seventh junior brother has good acting skills, and he almost deceived me,

If you want to sing on stage, senior brother, I will definitely go over, not only to support the people, but also to the money. ”

Senior Brother Tan Pan quietly approached, lowered his voice and said with a smile.

"Oh? I don't understand what this means, brother. ”

He gathered his fists and stood up, picked up the towel that was set aside and wiped his sweat.

"If I hadn't seen you smash Chen Chengyuan's leg with one punch, Senior Brother would have been deceived by you today."

Tan Pan winked and said with a smile, "But the seventh junior brother doesn't have to think about it, since the Iron Leg Sect wiped out, no one has mentioned this matter, and the teacher naturally doesn't know about it." ”

Wei Tao said solemnly, "The tenth junior brother is full of blood and quality, and his fist is powerful and heavy, I am indeed not an opponent." ”

Tan Pan nodded approvingly, "To make the teacher value it so much, Xiao Shi is naturally very talented, in addition to being young and vigorous, competitive and aggressive, he is indeed impeccable in his cultivation progress, and several of our senior brothers are far behind." ”

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and once again put on a red line fist starting pose, "Young people are not vigorous, are they still called young people, wait for a few years, just settle down a little." ”

"I hope so, Senior Brother Wei reminded me, when I have the opportunity, I still have to tell the teacher, discipline Xiao Shi strictly, and let him not be too publicistic outside, lest Mu Xiu be destroyed by the forest wind......"

Tan Pan sighed and changed the topic in another direction, "The matter of the rebels just mentioned by the teacher, Senior Brother Wei should not take it seriously,

The family must make some preparations in advance, in addition to stocking up on some food, it is best to pack the necessary salutes, in case there is any change in the future, you can also carry it and leave, and come to the martial arts hall to gather and take refuge. ”

Wei Tao listened silently, and suddenly asked, "I haven't gone out for a while, could it be that the rebels over there in Mozhou have approached Cangyuan City?" ”

Tan Pan said, "Mozhou and Qizhou are separated by endless mountain ranges, and it is not so easy for a large number of rebels to come over.

However, there are some small bandits who are making trouble on the ground in Qizhou, and they have to be guarded against. ”

"I just heard the news from Jiao Yun last time, Huang Xu's family has been sending people outside the city recently, cooperating with the Fenglin Army to exterminate these wandering bandits.

It's just that the military town suffered huge losses when encircling and suppressing a certain sect disciple, and the situation that had been stabilized was once again negligent. ”

"Just before and after we went to the inner city to participate in the garden party, a black cavalry team of the Zhou family suffered a defeat outside the city, and it is said that they have not recovered until now."

When Wei Tao heard this, he suddenly remembered the team of Zhou family martial artists he met on the street that day, and nodded thoughtfully.

After saying a few more words, Tan Pan turned around to leave, but turned back a few steps later.

"I was interrupted by the seventh junior brother just now, and I almost forgot the most important thing."

He coughed lightly, a strange smile on his face, "Seventh Senior Brother, someone wants to invite you to dinner. ”

"Invite me to dinner?"

Wei Tao restrained his qi and blood, and his expression was puzzled.

"Senior brother, you also know that I am neither famous nor powerful, and I really can't think of anyone who would want to invite me to dinner."

Tan Pan blinked, "It doesn't matter if the junior brother is nameless and powerful, but she has the person who is going to invite you to dinner." ”

"Senior brother, don't play dumb riddles, just tell me who it is."

"It's Mrs. Qu." Tan Pan leaned closer, his voice lower.

Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, and listened to Tan Pan continue with some speechlessness.

"Yesterday I went to the inner city, Mrs. Qu invited me to have tea with Jiaoyun, and we specifically mentioned the seventh junior brother to her.

She said at the time, when you are done with the things at hand, I will find a day and invite your family to have a light meal. ”

Ahem......

Tan Pan choked on his own saliva and cleared his throat several times, "I always feel that this matter needs to be thought about." ”

"What to ponder, is there anything worth pondering?"

Wei Tao sighed, "Didn't you take the initiative to mention my name, senior brother, and people just said that?" ”

He found that after Tan Pan was injured, he seemed to be a different person.

Could it be that after not practicing boxing hard for a while, he turned his energy to other aspects?

Tan Pan's brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought, "I've been thinking about what Mrs. Qu really wants to express in her words. ”

"Is it about the parents of the two sides meeting, or does she want to meet the parents of the seventh junior brother?"

Muttering to himself, he turned to leave, ignoring Wei Tao's surprised eyes at all.

After Tan Pan left, Wei Tao gathered his thoughts and immersed his mind in the practice of Red Line Fist again.

From time to time, a picture of a long river running through the mountains appears in front of me.

That was the Red Line Fist visualization scroll that Master Zhou showed them and finally found with great difficulty.

At the first glance of this picture, Wei Tao didn't feel anything yet.

But in the next moment, he was inexplicably obsessed.

It was as if the picture of that scroll was full of magic and attracted all his spirit.

The qi and blood in the body also seemed to be inexplicably pulled, and began to speed up along the most basic running route.

In an instant, he suddenly came to his senses and secretly observed the rest of the people in the meeting room.

Only then did I find that only Senior Brother Tan Pan was staring at the scroll, looking like he was in a state of distraction, while the others did not react, even the ten disciples newly accepted by the teacher were no different.

Perhaps only by cultivating to the depths of the blood coagulation realm can this picture be resonated with.

If the progress of internal training is insufficient, it will not be affected in any way.

Wei Tao's heart was full of surprise.

The visualization scroll unfolded by Master Zhou clearly looks like an ordinary ink landscape painting.

Not to mention anything else, paintings of almost the same level, at most, only need less than a penny of silver, and you can find a bunch of painters in Cangyuan City to steal business, and if you want a large amount, you can even break a bone.

Why, then, does this picture have an indescribable effect on people?

Could it be because of the material of the scroll?

Or is there something else hidden inside?

Wei Tao was a little puzzled.

However, he also had the Iron Leg Sect's Blood Lotus Catalogue in his possession.

When it's okay, I'll take it out and rub it to watch,

I never saw anything surprising about the material.

Perhaps only when the pan leg has also reached the full coagulation and 100% progress can we find the difference.

Until Master Zhou folded the red line catalogue and put it away, Wei Tao was in some kind of inexplicable emotion, and it continued throughout the afternoon of boxing practice.

Little by little, time passed.

By the time Wei Tao finished his practice, the sky had darkened and the wind had gradually become stronger, quickly blowing away the temperature of the earth from the daytime sunlight.

He had dinner at the martial arts hall by the way, but after going out, he didn't go home directly, but turned in another direction.

As soon as it got dark, there were few pedestrians on the streets.

Passing by the meatloaf shop he used to eat, Wei Tao just wanted to go over and buy some for supper, but found that the small shop that was originally thriving was closed.

Opened inward through the crack in the door panel, and the light inside was blind, and no one was even seen.

"I haven't come here to buy meatloaf for a few days, don't look at it, this house is gone." The old man sitting next to him smoking a dry cigarette said.

"Hasn't their business always been good, why did they suddenly stop doing it?" Wei Tao asked.

"The shopkeeper and his eldest son had an accident, and the proprietress couldn't support the stall alone, so she could only take her young son back to her hometown."

"What's wrong?"

"They have saved a lot of money over the years, so they bought a small grange outside the city, found a few long-term workers to farm and collect grain, and waited for them to be older, so they cashed in the store and went to Zhuangzi to retire."

The old man sighed and slapped his thigh.

A few days ago, the shopkeeper went to the Grange to pick up the house as usual.

Unexpectedly, he was attacked by bandits who came over him, and not even a few long-term workers survived......"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, "The Grange on the edge of Cangyuan City can also have an accident, it seems that the situation is indeed getting more and more chaotic." ”

"Alas, it is said that it is a bandit, but in fact, I see, these people are not easy to say what their identity is on the surface,

Maybe you will be a bandit at night, and if you change your clothes during the day, you will become a submissive citizen of the imperial court again......"

The old man babbled, knocking his cigarette stick on the wall from time to time, shaking off a little spark.

Wei Tao silently turned to leave, and soon left the long street and entered the alley,

After turning left and right, I stopped in a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.

Two men in Tsing Yi glanced through the crack in the door.

Hurriedly put away the blade in his hand and opened the door through a gap.

Wei Tao glanced left and right, and flashed in, "Where is that disciple of the Iron Leg Sect." ”

A man in Tsing Yi said respectfully, "Hui Gongzi, he got drunk at noon and is still sleeping in the house." ”

"Take me there."

Wei Tao was led into the room, and in the dark and damp environment, the room was full of alcohol.

A man curled up on a bed in the corner, wrapped in a quilt, was sleeping deeply.

"He's a disciple of the Iron Leg Sect, Shang Bian?"

Wei Tao came closer to take a closer look, "Why doesn't it look like a person who practices martial arts?" ”

"Back to Gongzi, when we found him, this person seemed to have suffered serious internal injuries, and he has been like this since he was rescued."

"Wake him up and find me next door."

Wei Tao dropped a sentence and turned around and walked out of the room.
