The Wei family of Qingshi Town, its mansion is located in the north of Qingshi Town, the southern foot of Qingshi Mountain, an extremely open land. The area of Wei's Mansion is very broad, roughly square, north and south and east and west long, each about 1,000 meters. Wei's Mansion sits in the north and faces south, facing the monk tribe in the north of the flat and wide bluestone town on the south side, backed by the huge bluestone mountain, and its interior scenery is very beautiful.

The Wei Mansion is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts of the Wei Clan, which are the Wei Inner Mansion and the Wei Outer Mansion, which are separated by a huge artificial river.

The central location of the inner mansion is the main building of the Wei family, which is also the core of the Wei family's mansion, which is mainly the place where the head of the Wei family and the core monks of the Wei family live and deal with daily affairs. The main building is surrounded by a large number of other buildings. The main building and all the other buildings around it are organically connected by various avenues and paths.

Between all the buildings, there are many other buildings and landscapes, there are echo corridors, stone guardrails, stone steps, carved stone tablets, flower beds for planting flowers and trees, small pools, small statues made of jade, and so on. On these buildings, there are inscriptions, carved various patterns, painted with rare and exotic beasts, flowers, birds, fish and insects, wooden buildings are carved beams and painted buildings, there are strange flowers and plants planted in the flower beds, when the flowers bloom, the fragrance is overflowing, and there are various small fish in the small pool, which can be appreciated.

Hundreds of meters away from the main building is the Wei martial arts arena, which is the place where the competition is held. The martial arts arena is square, north and south and east and west long, each about hundreds of meters, very broad. In the center of the arena is a huge circular ring; on the north side of the arena is the rostrum, which can be used for the upper repair to watch the fight; on the south side is a very wide square, which is the audience seat; on the east and west sides are the players' seats, the front part of the players' seats is rows of seats, and the back part is several low rooms for the players to rest and prepare; there is also an independent platform in the south corner of the ring, called the referee's seat, which is the place used by the referee team during the big competition.

The outer perimeter of the Inner House is surrounded by a circular artificial river that separates the Inner House from the Outer Province. The water of the artificial river starts from the northwest corner of the artificial river, and the water flows separately to the east and south, and the water flowing to the east reaches the northeast corner after a distance of nearly one thousand meters, and then turns to flow south, and then flows through more than 1,000 meters to reach the southeast corner; the water flowing to the south reaches the southwest corner after more than 1,000 meters, and then turns to flow eastward, and then flows through more than 1,000 meters, and also reaches the southeast corner. The two branches of the man-made river flow from the northwest corner and eventually converge at the southeast corner, thus forming a "circular river". A circular river surrounds the inner house.

The northwest corner and the southeast corner of the artificial river each have a huge opening, and these two mouths are just connected to a river, which is called "Qingshi River".

The Qingshi River originates from the Qingshi Mountain, flows through the Wei's Fudi, flows from the northwest corner of the Wei's Fudi artificial river, and then flows out from the southeast corner, just including the artificial river, and the artificial river of Wei's Fudi is organically separated into the Qingshi River and becomes a part of the Qingshi River.

The largest river in Qingshi Town is the Liusha River, which originates from the Qingcheng Mountains in the center of Qingcheng City, and stretches for thousands of kilometers, passing through Qingshi Town. In addition to the main stream of the Liusha River, there are several tributaries of Qingshi Town. There are several tributaries in the north of Qingshi Town, including Xisha River, Yangliu River, Qingshi River, Shanhua River, Dongsha River, and so on. The Qingshi River is one of the tributaries of the Liusha River.

The Qingshi River originates from the Qingshi Mountain. The green mountains and green waters on the bluestone mountain, the four seasons often flow, there are several big clear springs flowing out from the middle of the mountainside, flowing through the north of Qingshi Town, and finally will meet the Liusha River, these few clear springs form several small rivers in the north of Qingshi Town, it is several tributaries of the Liusha River, one of which is the Qingshi River.

The Qingshi River starts from the southern foot of the Qingshi Mountain, and will pass through the Wei Mansion, and the artificial river of the Wei Mansion is just connected to the Qingshi River and becomes a part of the Qingshi River.

The bluestone river flows into the bluestone landscape water all year round, forming a steady stream of living water, and the artificial river just makes effective use of the river water of the bluestone river, forming a beautiful scenery.

The periphery of the artificial river is the outer mansion of the Wei family's mansion, and the structure of the outer mansion is empty in the south, and the north, west, and east parts are all kinds of buildings in the outer mansion that are wider than the inner mansion.

The Inner Mansion and the Outer Mansion together form the Wei Mansion at the same time, and between the two provinces is an artificial river, which is connected by several huge stone bridges. The river surface of the four parts of the artificial north, south, west and east is equal in width, tens of meters, and the two banks are the inner and outer two provinces, and the two provinces are connected by several huge stone bridges.

There are several Weifu Bridges, among them, located in the south, the stone bridge connecting the inner house and the outside world, called "Fuqian Bridge", the north side of the Fuqian Bridge is the martial arts field, and the south side of the Fuqian Bridge is an open land, leading to the monk tribe in the north of Qingshi Town. The martial arts arena is the place where the competition is held, and the villagers who participate in and watch the big competition mainly enter the martial arts arena from the Fuqian Bridge.

In the northwest of the inner house, there is a courtyard group, called "Disciple's Courtyard", which is the place where the disciples of the Wei clan live, and there are nine disciples of the younger generation of the Wei clan, except for Wei Shengjin, the other eight people live in the various courtyards of the Disciple's Courtyard. As a disciple of his own clan, Wei Shengjin did not live here, but lived somewhere in the outer mansion.

The north of the Disciple's Courtyard, the north and south banks of the artificial river, are connected by a bridge, this bridge is called "Swallow Bridge", the south bank of the Swallow Bridge is the Disciple's Courtyard, and the north bank is somewhere in the outer house, where Wei Shengjin lives. Wei Shengjin's residence, belongs to the Waifu, it is in the northwest corner of the Waifu, just leaning on the Qingshi River, here is the place where the Qingshi River and the artificial river are connected, there is an independent courtyard here, it is the place where Wei Shengjin lives, Wei Shengjin named it called Snail House Xiaoxuan.

The west side of the snail dwelling Xiaoxuan is the Qingshi River, and on both sides of the Qingshi River here, a big stone bridge has also been erected, called "Xingwu Bridge", and the south side of the snail dwelling Xiaoxuan is an artificial river, and the artificial river is a swallow bridge.

Although the snail dwelling Xiaoxuan is also a separate courtyard, compared to the courtyards of Wei Shengqiu, Li Yanran and others, it is really not worth mentioning, and it is not the same, the residences of the other people are spacious and comfortable, while Wei Shengjian's snail dwelling Xiaoxuan is much smaller.

When Wei Shengjin was a child, his parents died early, leaving only Wei Shengjian's son, who became an orphan.

Wei Wei, the head of the Wei family, did not show that he did not want to see Wei Shengjin when Wei Shengjin was young, and maybe Wei Shengsheng did not really feel it at that time. At that time, Wei Wei also arranged for Wei Shengjin to live in the disciple's courtyard. As Wei Shengjin grew up day by day, Wei Mixing's prejudice against him was revealed, and Wei Mizhen arranged Wei Shengjin to live in Xiaoxuan, which was called to let Wei Shengjin better exercise himself, and at the same time live with other inner disciples, so that he could better manage his inner disciples. Wei Shengjin was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, and he was helpless and did not dare to complain.

The small house where Wei Shengjin lives is not large, but it is a single courtyard, with a courtyard gate, a female wall, a main hall, a bedroom, a few miscellaneous rooms, a yard, and some potted flowers and plants are planted in the yard.

Soon after the death of his parents, Wei Shengjin was sent back to Wei, and then arranged to live in Xiaoxuan, where it has been more than ten years. Although the snail house Xiaoxuan is not big, fortunately, there are still things and objects that should be there, Wei Shengjin has lived here for more than ten years, and his feelings for it are still very deep.

On the 50th day of September 50, 5,613, Wei Shengjian, as usual, woke up on time from the bedroom, and Wei Shengjian's ears listened to the water gurgling above the bedroom and outside the ear window, and he was in a very happy mood. Wei Shengjin's bedroom happened to be leaning against the Qingshi River, and a window was built on the west wall of the bedroom, so that you could see the water outside, and you could hear the sound of the flowing water outside all year round.

Wei Shengjin got up, put on his clothes, and then went out, then opened the small door of the women's wall on the west side, and then went down several stone steps to the Qingshi River, and then washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and cleaned up in the river. After washing, Wei Shengscarf returned home, made some preparations, took a few items, carried them on his back, and then went out.

Wei Shengscarf carried a few things on his back, opened the courtyard door, walked out of the courtyard, went around to the back of the snail house Xiaoxuan, and walked towards the bluestone mountain. Wei Shengjin walked along the thin bluestone mountain road to the top of the mountain, this mountain road is rugged, and very narrow, very difficult to walk, on both sides of the path, there are thorns, if you are not careful, you may be torn by thorns and skin. Wei Shengjin was in this rugged mountain road, walking like flying, and gradually walked to a place halfway up the mountainside, where there was a huge rock, standing in the mountain, Wei Shengjin called this place "Shiji stop".

After Wei Shengjin arrived at Shiji Stop, he felt that his body began to feel heavy, so he stopped at Shiji Stop for a while and freed an item on his back to the ground. This item, at first glance, looks like a giant sword, but if you look closely, it is not very similar, but like a ruler, this item is an important item of Wei Shengjin, its name is "Wulian Ruler".

There is no ruler, the shape is just like a big ruler, the body is dark, about one meter long, placed on the ground, just the position of Qi Weisheng's navel, it is about twenty centimeters wide and about five centimeters thick. The upper end of the ruler is a grip that is similar to a cylindrical shape, and Wei Shengjin is used to hold this grip at this time, and its lower end is a flat rectangle, which is directly inserted into the ground at this time, which is like a long sword with a broken sharp edge inserted into the ground. It is extremely heavy without a ruler, reaching several hundred kilograms.
