Chapter 7: The Wei Wuxian Couple
"Well, it's true that I didn't think enough about taking your disciples away for no reason, so let's do it! Old man Wu, I plan to take them away and let them help, and get this matter out first. The fiery red-skinned old man took a few sips of tea, put down his teacup, and took out the request he had refused last time and prepared it to be used as a quid pro quo for this exchange.
When the hunchbacked old man heard this, his face improved slightly, and he hurriedly picked up the teapot and added tea to the teacup that the fiery red-skinned old man had just put down.
"Okay, since Old Wei is generous in helping, I can't be unreasonable, although these two miscellaneous disciples are not as good as those inner disciples who have passed the assessment, they can also do something, and it is also good to be a helper for your old man. The hunchbacked old man made a favor and agreed to let the two of them go.
"Okay, this matter is settled, you have to prepare the materials for me, and I will ask them to send you a sword in three months. The fiery red-skinned old man put down his teacup, got up with his hands on his chair, and walked out towards the door.
"You two will follow Wei Lao in the future! If there is anything you can come here to see, Cao Qi, go and take the materials I prepared for these two to bring back." Steward Wu walked up to the two of them, patted Yun Zhonghai on the shoulder, instructed Cao Qi, and walked into the back room.
"Senior brother, the two of you are lucky, you can be favored by Wei Lao, this is the material, take it! Don't let Wei Lao and his old man wait for a long time. Senior Brother Cao took out a box from under the counter and handed it to Yun Zhonghai, then walked to the counter and picked up the pen and copied it again.
Yun Zhonghai and the two went out with the box, and the fiery red-skinned old man standing at the door glanced at them, and then walked into the woods, and the two followed.
The fiery red-skinned old man led the two of them, walked slowly along the path in the woods, walked in at a fork, turned east, turned west, and passed through a narrow canyon, and suddenly a small valley full of flowers appeared in front of several people.
On the right side of the valley there are many unknown fields of flowers and plants, on the left side there are all kinds of strange trees planted in the fields, and in the middle of the valley there are more than a dozen houses of large and small sizes. Looking around, only a narrow canyon is the entrance, and it looks like this is a paradise.
"This is the Yin Yang Valley, except for the disciples, outsiders are not allowed to enter the valley, you two can't bring people in casually, and the others can only wait outside the valley if they have anything, remember? Go and rest first! Come to the lobby tomorrow morning with the materials in the box to find me, I have something to tell you." The fiery red-skinned old man pointed to the smallest of the dozen rooms.
"By the way, the two of you will call me Wei Lao in the future. After speaking, Wei Wuxian walked step by step towards the relatively large and imposing room in the middle.
Yun Zhonghai and the two came to the small room, put the box under the bed, the time was not early, this day was taken away by Wu Lao after the assessment in the morning, and went to work in the armory in the afternoon and in the evening, and now they have become people in this small canyon, too much tossing and turning, making people haggard, and the two fell asleep.
A burst of birds and flowers came in from outside the house, Yun Zhonghai was woken up by the sound of birds early, he was lying on the bed looking at the roof as if thinking about something, at this time Leng Feng walked in with a steamed bun in his hand.
"Are you awake? Get up and have breakfast! After eating, let's go to Wei Lao's place. Leng Feng handed the two hot steamed buns in his hand to Yun Zhonghai, who got up and sat down, and kept two for himself.
"Well, thank you, trouble Brother Leng Feng!" Yun Zhonghai continued to eat the food.
The two slept all night, and they were a little hungry, and after a while, the two big steamed buns were eaten.
"Brother Leng Feng, let's go and see Wei Lao!" Yun Zhonghai got up and drank a sip of water, tidied himself up, took out the box from under the bed, and led Leng Feng towards Wei Lao's house.
"Wei Lao"
Wei ...... Wei Lao ......"
Wei Wuxian sat on the kang and drank tea, and next to him sat an old woman with a book in her hand and was slowly watching, this woman didn't seem to notice the arrival of the two, nor did she hear the greetings of the two.
Yun Zhonghai and the two of them were so frightened by this sudden woman that they couldn't speak well, this woman's face was wrinkled and pale, and her long snow-white hair almost covered her entire face, looking very vicious.
"You two will be my registered disciples first, this is the identity card of the two of you, I will teach you some common sense of refining, this is your master's wife, sometimes you can go with her to collect medicine and refine medicine, and maybe teach you some medical skills to save people, but we don't have time to teach you martial arts." Wei Wuxian took out two signs and handed them to the two, took a few sips of tea, and put down the tea in his hand again.
Yun Zhonghai put down the box in his hand, took a piece of identity card made of metal materials, hung it around his neck, and waited respectfully.
"I have two sets of mantras for self-cultivation and qi cultivation to teach you two of you, although you can't fight the enemy, but you can also make your body strong. If you feel uneasy, if you really want to learn a few real tricks, you can go to a few sect leaders to learn it, I will not object here, but in a year I want to see how the set of mantras you each practiced progressed, if there is no progress at all, don't blame me for being ruthless, you will be driven to the outer gate as outer disciples, have you two heard clearly?" Wei Wuxian's tone suddenly became heavy, it seemed that these two sets of mantras were very important.
"Yes, the disciple heard clearly. Yun Zhonghai replied in unison.
"Take the box, you two come with me, and get acquainted with the refining room. Wei Wuxian got up and went to the side room.
There are various metal materials on the shelves in the room, and a fire from the center of the earth is burning, and there is an ancient tripod on the flame.
"Put the ingredients in the box into the ding, and you two will use these two fans to lick the fire here. Wei Lao took out two fans and handed them over, and walked out himself.
Yun Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief gently, I didn't know why in the lobby just now, I didn't even dare to smoke the atmosphere, my whole brain jumped tightly, and after Wei Lao left, he slowly returned to normal.
In the next few days, Yun Zhonghai has been very happy, because he is finally a disciple of the Six Swords Sect, and the registered disciple is also a disciple, which is much better than not passing the training camp for three months, even if he fails to pass the test after a year, he can also go to the outer gate to be an outer disciple, and he can be an official and a half-post in the legion like Uncle Bai, and he has finally faded away from the identity of a miscellaneous disciple.
In the following days, I would come to Wei Lao in the morning to learn the knowledge of refining tools and medicine with my wife, and in the afternoon, I would go to the sect head and other children to learn basic teaching knowledge such as literacy and hyphenation and meridian acupuncture points on the body, and practice the basic skills together.
