Chapter 86: Choice
Late at night.
Cangyuan inner city, Huang family compound.
Still in that quiet courtyard.
The grandmother of the Huang family sat on the edge of the stove, holding a miscellaneous book in her hand and reading it slowly.
Suddenly, she frowned slightly and turned her head to look out the door.
There was a soft squeak.
A plain embroidered shoe gently stepped into the door.
Immediately after, a flower bloomed in front of her eyes.
On the wooden bench in front of him, a slender figure silently appeared.
This is a woman in her thirties who looks graceful and elegant.
"Sister Qi Yun, your life seems to be doing well."
The woman smiled slightly, and her eyes wandered around the room.
The grandmother of the Huang family did not come back to her senses until this time, unaware that her back was soaked with cold sweat.
"I'm really dizzy, I didn't see that it was the sister of the palace in person."
She hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still so radiant, almost no different from back then." ”
"You and I chose different times back then, and the paths we took were even more different, but we can't say which is better and which is worse."
The woman sighed softly and picked up the miscellaneous book from the table and flipped through it casually.
After a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I just came here this time to remind you of one thing, and I don't want to kill you." ”
"Tell me." The grandmother of the Huang family was cautious and accompanied by her side.
It's like a maid, waiting for her own lady's orders.
The woman sighed softly and spoke slowly.
Listening to her story, the Huang family's grandmother's face changed again and again, and finally there was no blood at all, and her body trembled slightly.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, it can be regarded as pointing out a clear path for the Huang family for the sake of your father's face,
What you do next is up to you......"
The aftermath lingered, and the graceful and elegant figure was no longer visible in the room.
Only the grandmother of the Huang family was left, her face was gloomy and solemn, and she was silent for a long time.
Early morning.
Wei Tao opened the door and disappeared into the long street shrouded in frost and mist.
I kept recalling the learning content of the past few days.
In addition to the red line fist and the mountain leg, he also included the golden needle puncture point and the stimulation of qi and blood into the scope of study.
With a needle penetrated, those boys from the Tsing Shirt Club complained bitterly, and when they saw him, they trembled and almost wanted to go first.
After penetrating others, he also penetrated himself.
Just to accurately find the flow of qi and blood, I don't know how many golden needles I have on my arms and legs, and I can't bear to look at them directly every night.
Passing by the shop where he was accustomed to eating breakfast, Wei Tao gathered his thoughts, bought a stack of meatloaf, and walked towards the martial arts hall while eating.
The number of pedestrians on the street is in a hurry, and the number is much smaller than before.
But there are more stubborn city defense troops,
Patrols have been intensified in major neighbourhoods.
The whole outer city exudes a dull and oppressive atmosphere,
It is in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the past.
He tightened his fur and quickened his pace.
Passing by an intersection, many ragged beggars huddled together, resisting the bone-chilling air.
The outermost few people remained motionless, perhaps frozen to death.
A short time later, two women in white robes came out of an alley.
They each carried two buckets of white rice and put them on the side of the road.
The group of beggars immediately rushed forward to fight, and the sound of beating and screaming was one after another.
Boom!
The middle-aged man who snatched the most ferociously was kicked away by the woman, rolled on the ground a few times, and lay there motionless.
"What to rob, whoever dares to rob again, he will be the end."
The white-robed woman said coldly, her gaze slid over the faces, "After eating, everyone comes with me, only by taking refuge under the Celestial Maiden can you enjoy food and clothing." ”
Everyone prostrated one after another, and their mouths shouted thanksgiving.
Wei Tao stopped and observed.
The white-robed woman slowly turned her head expressionlessly and glanced at Wei Tao.
Her eyes were cold, with a bit of hostility and scrutiny.
Wei Tao frowned slightly, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
The woman shuddered and subconsciously looked away.
Xu Shi felt offended, and she immediately glared back, only to find that the place was empty, and Wei Tao had long since disappeared.
The two buckets of rice were quickly snatched up.
Whether it was those who ate it or those who didn't, they all lined up in two neat rows, followed the white-robed woman into the alley, and soon disappeared into the depths of the vast fog.
I could only vaguely see two red lights floating around, like blood dripping on a white cloth.
Wei Tao came to the martial arts hall, quickly put the morning's events behind him, and began to concentrate on carrying qi and blood, practicing moves.
Today's training with him is Tan Pan.
The two figures tossed and turned in a corner of the inner courtyard, and from time to time there was a sound of fists and palms.
A moment later, Tan Pan jumped out of the battle circle with a backward jump.
He looked at Wei Tao, who was moving a few steps away, with a strange expression.
"Practicing against Senior Brother Wei today gave me a weird feeling that I had never felt before."
Tan Pan put on his coat and said slowly after thinking, "How can I say it, Senior Brother Wei gives me the feeling that he is like a swimming fish, he is simply slippery and does not leave his hands.
Not only can I avoid my attacks in time every time, but I also often appear in positions that make me very uncomfortable,
This erratic pace, coupled with the strength of the hammer, even I felt a lot of pressure. ”
Speaking of this, something suddenly occurred to him.
"The footwork of the seventh junior brother seems to me to be somewhat similar to the Iron Leg Sect, but it is not the same."
"Senior brother's eyes are like torches, and he can see it at a glance."
Wei Tao had already thought of his words, and when he heard the words, he explained, "That day, the Iron Legs sent Chen Chengshan to compete with the senior brother, and I saw that the pace of this person's body method was unpredictable, so I pondered and integrated it into my own practice. ”
"The idea of the junior brother is very good, but there is one thing to pay attention to."
Tan Pan straightened his tone and said with a solemn expression, "You can learn the steps of other sects,
But you must remember not to try to carry your own qi and blood indiscriminately,
There is no suitable prescription and practice, and there is no guidance from people who have come over.
Practicing blindly on your own will cause big problems. ”
Wei Tao said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I know this." ”
"There are ......," Tan Pan added, "Even if the above conditions are in place, it is best for junior disciples not to practice other martial arts at the same time, especially kung fu other than boxing, before they really set foot in the red line realm." ”
Wei Tao nodded, "Senior Brother told me before, the cultivation of the blood condensation level is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, my qualifications and talents are average, and I will not make the mistake of being greedy and chewing too much no matter what." ”
After a morning of practice, Master Zhou called all his disciples to the small cafeteria.
Meals and staple foods were already set on the table, but no one moved their chopsticks, waiting for the teacher's instructions.
"Xiaopan, come on." Master Zhou took a sip of tea.
"Yes, Teacher." Tan Pan nodded.
He cleared his throat, "I just received news from the inner city in the morning, and in the next few days, we will set off and start to clean up the bandits around Cangyuan City together with other gangs in the outer city. ”
There was silence in the small cafeteria, and everyone was listening quietly.
"This is where the door is responsible."
Tan Pan opened a map drawn on animal skins and circled a small area on it with charcoal.
"In addition to us, there is also a team of family members under Mr. Hu, led by his adopted daughter Hu Qingfeng.
At that time, how the two sides will cooperate specifically, whether they will be together or fight separately, will be discussed after they meet. ”
Tan Pan looked around, "This time I went out of the city to suppress bandits, the teacher, me, and the seventh junior disciple walked with the registered disciples of the outer court,
The third junior brother and the fourth junior brother, your family should have also received the corresponding notice, the teacher has communicated with Zheng Dart Master and Suo Fang Master, and you will each follow your own team. ”
Speaking of this, he showed a hint of a smile, "Of course, the Red Line Gate, Changle Fang, and Fushun Dart Bureau are all in the same breath, and the area in charge of the three of us is not too far away, so it will be convenient to quickly support and take care of each other when the time comes." ”
Yan Shi sat in the corner, sipping tea with a look of indignation on his face.
"What about me? I didn't seem to hear my name just now. ”
Suddenly, a slightly shy voice sounded.
Tan Pan turned his head to look, "Oh, Senior Sister Jiu, you're on vacation, so stay at home and rest until we come back." ”
Coming out of the martial arts hall, Wei Tao went directly to the stronghold of the Youth Alliance.
"Mr. just said last time that he might have to go out of the city with the team to suppress bandits, but I didn't expect to really set off so soon."
Shang Bian's brows furrowed, he couldn't even sit still, and began to walk back and forth in the room.
"Sir, you must remember that this kind of large-scale chaotic battle is completely different from the battle between warriors, and any unexpected dangerous situation may occur, so you must be fully prepared, and there is only one purpose, that is, to bring yourself back alive."
He walked faster and faster, his mouth emphasizing.
"Whether the enemy is a martial artist who trains his qi and blood internally, or a chaotic person who doesn't know kung fu, Mr. can't be careless;
Even children, women, and the elderly must not relax their vigilance against them, and they must not be soft when it is time to kill;
Danger often comes from the smallest details, and often a single negligence can cost dearly;
Pay attention to maintaining physical strength, and if you can kill with one move, you must never waste more strength on that person;
Also, don't be brave in the moment, run when you see a bad situation, and avoid getting yourself into a siege......"
Wei Tao sat on the chair, carrying qi and blood in the medicinal bath, while listening silently.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and nodded slowly, "I have written down everything Master Shang said. ”
Shang Bian wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled a long breath.
"There are three major organizations working together, and all the big forces in the outer city are participating at the same time, just to clean up some bandits, and the situations I mentioned should not occur.
But the gentleman also said that if you think about the worst in advance, you must be well prepared, even if it is just to go out of the city to catch a rabbit, you must be fully armed and have food and medicine ready! ”
"What Master Shang said is extremely true, everything is foreseen, everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, it is not a bad thing to think about difficulties in front of you."
While speaking, Shi Huishou hurried over.
Wei Tao didn't waste time, and went straight to the point, "After I leave the city, the Youth Gang will hide and lurk, don't feel that the power of the gangs in the outer city is empty, so you want to secretly eat a bite." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, we know this."
"Also, my family doesn't know about me going out of the city to suppress bandits, in addition to the guard points of the Tsing Yi Society in the surrounding area, you will send some more responsive brothers to keep an eye on where they work."
Speaking of this, Wei Tao raised his head and stared into Shi Huishou's eyes, "In case of any critical situation, we must protect them at all costs." ”
