"Brother Zhou, I heard that your martial arts were taught by a Taoist, why did he let you come back again?" Zhao Yuan said on the side.

Ding Rai also had the same question.

Zhou Tai raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said: "It's not a secret, the world has been in turmoil recently, and the master has sent his disciples down the mountain in order to help the world.

"What else can I do? Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"Still writing a book? I heard that you have all been selected for promotion, but it is a pity that you did not become an official. Zhou Tai sighed.

Zhao Yuandao: "I was all taken by Ziqi to write books, his writing is much better than mine, without him, I would not have been able to publish so many books to subsidize my family." ”

Zhou Tai looked at Zhao Ziqi, he knew Zhao Ziqi himself, although he didn't have much contact, but when he was a child, Zhao Ziqi was also a talented son of the Zhao family, but he didn't go to the exam, he has been traveling around, and even compiled his experience into a book, he has read Zhao Ziqi's book in other places, called "The Strange Tales of the World", specializing in collecting anecdotes in the world, and even some legends have been recorded by Zhao Ziqi, and there are some names.

"Brother Ziqi is really wonderful, I have also read your books, they are well written, but unfortunately the shortcomings are that you are too secular, if you are unified and organized, it is possible to go to the high hall, and when the time comes, you will gain fame and fortune, why not try?" Zhou Tai said.

Zhao Ziqi smiled: "How can it be so easy, Brother Zhou, you are precocious, but you have not compiled a book, I am afraid that you don't know about it." ”

Zhou Tai let out a long "oh" and didn't answer, this Zhao Ziqi was still as always, his heart was very high, and he was more arrogant than Zhou Tai himself.

Zhou Tai turned his head, looked at Ding Lei, Zhao Yuan, and pointed to Mu Ning beside him: "Brother Ding, Zhao Yuan, this is Mu Ning, the third son of the Mu family, and he is also a writer who loves literature, you can communicate more, I will be an introducer for the time being, so that you can exchange experiences." ”

"I've seen Brother Mu!" Ding Lei and Zhao Yuan both bowed.

Mu Ning smiled with a white cheek: "I've met a few, it's the first time I've seen you, if it weren't for Zhou Tai telling me that his good friend is Zhao Yuan, I wouldn't have met a literary genius like you, it's good luck to be lucky to meet you." ”

Whether his hands or face, he is all pale, as white as white paper, Wenwen's weak face seems to hide some thoughts, when talking to Ding Lei, he is always distracted, looking left and right.

Ding Lei noticed Mu Ning's strange appearance, he didn't break it, thinking that this person was just absent-minded.

"By the way, what do you Mu family do, is it also a martial arts family?" Ding Lei said suddenly.

Mu Ning let out an "ah", then came to his senses and said, "No, but our Mu family's identity is special, and there are generals guarding it in Cloud Temples City." As for me, I've been frail and sickly since I was a child, and I can't practice martial arts at all, so I ......"

He paused, it seemed that there were some lies, and he was a little at a loss, Ding Lei's mind was sharp, and he had already seen it in his eyes.

This Mu Ning is not better than Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai is frank, but Mu Ning is hiding and pinching, a little weird, the literati temperament on his body is fully revealed, when it comes to martial arts, his expression seems to change slightly, making people feel that his words are untrue.

Ding Lei's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "I don't think you can do it, it's really not a good seedling for martial arts, but it's okay, there is no way to improve your strength in this world, there is no need to follow the steps, you can take shortcuts." ”

"A shortcut?" Zhou Tai said curiously: "Practicing martial arts can also be a shortcut, you can really take the pill, you can see immediate results, even if there is an elixir to improve internal qi, you also need to have a way to carry qi and blood, in order to be able to integrate it, no one can take a shortcut." Of course, there is another way, that is, epiphany, but this possibility is very small, one in 10,000 people will have such a thing, and it must be combined with the right time, place and people, it is impossible to say that epiphany will be epiphany, and there is no way to control it. In short, I don't believe in shortcuts, I only believe in my hard work. ”

"Brother Zhou is right. Ding Rai didn't argue, and laughed: "I don't have that much time to practice martial arts, so I'm always opportunistic." ”

"You're not yet twenty. Zhou Taidao.

"More than seventeen this year, eighteen years old, just an adult. Ding Leidao.

Zhou Tai was even more surprised: "With such a young age and such a horizontal practice of kung fu, it seems that your master is an amazing character." ”

"He is indeed very powerful, his kung fu is unpredictable, I don't know which Heng is stronger than the Taoist behind you?" Ding Lei said. He was talking about the monk who taught the "Bronze Man Change".

Zhou Tai smiled: "How can it be compared? There is no comparison at all, I don't know your master's name, and you don't know my master, unless we fight each other, we can enhance each other's understanding through learning." ”

Ding Lei said: "That's what I mean, but it's not now, we don't have time now, the recent things, I'm afraid you also know about the seventy-seven-eighty-eight, the people of the Song family, when they are the first evil in Cangyan City, don't talk about getting rid of it, at least give them a lesson." ”

A few people cheered up, they all knew the purpose of this trip, and the previous words were all high-minded talk, but now they are getting to the point.

Of course, except for the man named Mu Ning, he was hearing the conversation between Ding Lei and Zhou Tai before, his eyebrows twitched inadvertently, his eyes flickered, and his hands were slightly pinched on the cup.

This is obviously unable to grasp the strength, just like a child suddenly has a thousand pounds of power, unable to control it, when holding the cup, even because of this force, there will be abnormalities. This strange appearance was felt by Ding Lei's sense of hearing, and his heart felt even more strange: "Obviously, this person's body is up and down, and there is no trace of martial arts practice at all, but he has such strength, and he can't even hold the cup, and almost pinches the cup, this is still the result of his intentional control, if the control is not done properly, he will be alarmed on the spot." ”

Ding Leihu was suspicious, Mu Ning had already put the cup down, and there was a crack lying quietly on it, and a slight wine leaked out, but it was well covered up by Mu Ning.

At this time, Zhou Tai's voice came: "I also understand what you said about the Song family, what are you going to do this time?"

When he asked, Zhao Sheng raised his voice and said, "You guys be quiet, I'm here on behalf of the Zhao family and want to cooperate with your Zhou family." ”

Zhao Sheng's eyebrows flew when he talked to Zhou Shang before, and both of them knew something, and now Zhao Sheng said in a loud voice, and he also wanted to repeat the plan on the spot.

Everyone listened quietly, and saw Zhou Shang ask someone to close the door, and Zhao Sheng said: "I haven't been so high-spirited and proud for many years. My son and nephew Qi, as well as this Ding Lei knight, have arranged things properly, how to arrange them specifically, and listen to me one by one, as well as the young people of the Mu family, if you want to participate, this is a good opportunity to bring down the Song family, and if things are done at that time, your Mu family will also have a chance to be among the top of the Cangyan City family. ”

Mu Ning frowned slightly at first, then after thinking about it, he finally struggled and said: "I'm still not involved, this matter is a big matter, I'm afraid of the power of one person, I can't move the Mu family, I'm sorry." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Tai on the side, and said: "Mu Ning, I know that this matter is big, and it is difficult for you to choose your identity now, but if you listen to it, maybe you have an idea again, if you make a meritorious contribution and the family spends all its financial resources to wash your muscles and marrow, won't you be able to practice martial arts?"

When Ding Lei heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

He secretly asked Zhao Yuan beside him, and only listened to Zhao Yuan: "Mu Ning has been a meridian blockade since he was a child, and he can't practice martial arts at all, so he has always been engaged in some literary things, but he doesn't like to be an official, even if he takes the exam, he doesn't go to work." I heard that he secretly spent a lot of effort and wanted to practice martial arts, but for so many years, he didn't make an inch. He is also living one day at a time, and he has no ambitions. Ay. ”

"Then can't his family help him? For example, what Zhou Tai said before about washing the muscles and cutting the marrow. Ding Leidao.

Zhao Ziqi said from the side: "I have heard from many classics, and some legends have also been recorded, to do this, there must be a myelin washing pill, there is no marrow washing pill, there is no marrow washing pill, those who are born with poor meridians, no matter how they can't dredge, there is another way, that is, to find a master, through internal strength impact meridians, this kind of thing is very dangerous, compared to the myelin washing pill is much more dangerous, ordinary people will not do it, even if it is done, it may not have much effect, this kind of natural meridian occlusion, it is impossible to practice martial arts." ”

Ding Lei was surprised: "I can't imagine that Brother Ziqi, you actually know so much, are you the legendary 'encyclopedia'." ”

"It's over, I only heard about it in my early years, I heard that the Mu family gave up training for him because of this, and never let him contact the core affairs, and many children of the family knew that he was a waste, and they also bullied him since he was a child, and developed the mentality that Mu Ning doesn't like to talk. You see him so restrained, you understand, how to endure so many years to survive, he only thinks about how to live well, although the living conditions are much better than many poor people, but then again, he is the product of great contrast, it is really regrettable. Zhao Ziqi said.

Ding Leituo pondered, thinking of Mu Ning's previous actions and attitude, he felt that this person was becoming more and more difficult.

However, he doesn't seem to be good at hiding, and more importantly, he doesn't know how to use power, he is obviously powerful, but he is like a child lifting an elephant, full of omissions, which is exposed, all this is seen by Ding Lei, but Zhou Tai is unaware, and listens to Zhao Sheng and them.

After Zhao Sheng confided in Zhao Ziqi's previous plan, there was a silence in the audience, and then Zhou Shang couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "This is what Ziqi came up with? Yes, turning defeat into victory, at this critical moment, if you do well, the Song family is really likely to suffer a beating, but then speaking, it is difficult to do, their Song family is a martial arts family, you want to send that Li Wei to the Song family, and light fireworks to make it clear, the risk is quite difficult, can you be prepared?"
