Wei Qing'er listened to Lu Deng's words, and thought to himself in his heart: "Yes, my original intention was to learn martial arts to avenge the blood of my parents and fellow villagers, I am actually ...... for a woman now", when he thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Besides, if I can become a hero like the hero in Tsing Yi who saved me, I can naturally win the favor of Miss Cheng, why bother to be around her, if I forget my righteousness, maybe I will be looked down upon by Miss Cheng", Wei Qing's mind suddenly appeared in the demeanor of the man in Tsing Yi that day.

He made up his mind, so he knelt down in front of Lin Hu and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Please Master teach me martial arts, teach my apprentice a skill, kill all the dogs, report the grace of the master's teachings, and report the revenge of my parents and the innocent people in the whole village." Lin Hu already liked Wei Qing as a straightforward young man, and now he saw that he was very sincere in his apprenticeship, so he immediately helped him up with joy on his face, patted him on the shoulder again and again, and wanted to encourage him, but he was not good at words and didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Deng smiled and said: "Master He Xilin has to accept high-level apprentices, even if he is blue in the future, he may not be able to, haha." After he said that, he pointed at Wei Qing and turned his head to Cheng Bin and said: "I also like this kid very much, he has meritorious service in this report, and now he has to meet a famous teacher, and this official has to show one or two."

Lu Deng called a servant to whisper a few words, and after a while, the servant took out a long box from the back hall. Lu Deng got up and opened the lid of the box, and took out a long sword that everyone could see, the sword body was black, and there were no traces of building up and down, which made people feel that although this sword was indestructible, it felt that there was no trace of killing.

Lu Deng held the sword in both hands and handed it to Wei Qing, and said: "This sword is called Zhanlu, according to legend, it was made by Ou Yezi, a sword maker in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Cheng Bin was born in a wealthy family, and knew that this Zhanlu sword was extremely precious and could be called a priceless treasure, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Lu, this sword is rare, how can you give it to others." Lin Hu is a rough man with a straightforward personality, in addition to martial arts, he knows too much etiquette, he saw that Lu Deng, as an envoy of the state festival, was so kind to his newly recruited apprentices, and he felt that he had gained face in front of Cheng Bin, his heart was extremely happy, and he kept grinning, but at this moment, seeing Cheng Bin come forward to stop Lu Deng's gift of the sword, his heart was angry, and his face suddenly sank.

Lu Deng smiled slightly, stroked the long sword in his hand and said to himself: "This sword is the sword of benevolence, although it has been with me for a long time, it has never been unsheathed to kill the enemy, the sword is empty, it is better to give it to useful people, so that it can thirst for the blood of the enemy." He turned sideways and said to Lin Hu and Cheng Bin: "This kid is thousands of miles away to report the news, he is a person with strong ambitions, he met a great enemy but was rescued by a master, it can be seen that the fortune is also deep, he is now worshipping the beggar gang, no matter who he is learning from, he also asks the two masters to teach more sooner or later, and in the future to make a career for the country and the people, and it will not live up to my love of giving a sword today." Lin Hu hugged Lu Deng's fist, and Cheng Bin also said, "I am making up my mind to remember the adult's entrustment."

Although Wei Qing felt that this sword was black and inconspicuous, not as sharp as he imagined, he heard Cheng Bin say that this sword was precious, and saw Lu Deng's solemn expression, so he took the sword with both hands solemnly, and knelt down to Lu Deng to thank him, and then stood up and stuck the sword in his waist.

The three of them talked for a while about sending people to the north to find out the news, or planting eyeliner in the city to eliminate spies, and so on, before they left. Walking out of the door of the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, Lin Hu arched his hand to Cheng Bin, and was about to say goodbye, Cheng Bin said with a kind face: "Wei Xian's nephew is talented, if Lin Duo Master will teach what he has learned, he will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future." Lin Hu "snorted" and didn't say anything, turned around and walked away quickly, Wei Qing hurriedly made a gesture to Cheng Bin, and also chased after Lin Hu.

Lin Hu took Wei Qing back to his residence, summoned a group of disciples to explain the matter of accepting apprentices, and all the beggars congratulated Lin Hu and Wei Qing after hearing about it, and Cao Lu was even more happy to pull Wei Qing to immediately go out of the city to get some game and come back for a big meal, or Wei Qing excused himself on the grounds that it was too late to close the city gate. However, that night, Cao Lu didn't know where to call a flower dog and it was burned to a good degree, so he dragged Lin Hu and the rest of the people to have a big meal. During the banquet, Cao Lu and Wei Qing talked about the title, Wei Qing was a few months older, but Cao Lu started first, and both of them were unwilling to admit that they were low and small, and then Cao Lu was pouted and poured several pots of wine, and he was delirious while telling everyone about the process of knowing Wei Qing, while sighing at the deep brotherhood between the two, when it came to the emotional place, he actually hugged Wei Qing and generously said that even if he was a junior brother, he was willing to give up the title of senior brother to Wei Qing, Lin Hu was also happy to laugh, saying that there was no rule for his subordinates to get started first, and they were all sorted according to age。

On the second day, Lin Hu summoned Wei Qing, first told him about some rules in the beggar gang, which were nothing more than regulations such as not bullying the weak and not bullying women and children, and then simply arranged the incense case, so that Wei Qing worshiped the ancestor and performed the entrance ceremony, and then said: " Since I accept you as a disciple, you must know that the teacher is a disciple of the Boyang School in the local Taihang Mountains in Shanxi, and the most proud crafts of this school are three, one is the broken palm, one is the five-element stick, and the other is the three care of the law, the practice needs to be obtained from the inside out, and the inner cultivation can be in the heart in order to be outside the form, from today on, I will first pass on the introductory rules of the three care methods of your own school and the three starting styles of the broken palm, and then teach you the kung fu behind you."

Wei Qing waited for Lin Hu to teach the mantra and perform the palm method, so he went to the courtyard to figure out the practice, he practiced for a while before he saw Cao Lu lazily dragging the green bamboo pole in, Wei Qing happened to have something he didn't understand, so he asked Cao Lu about the method of practice. Cao Lu was depressed because he was drunk last night and inexplicably turned into a junior brother, but since Lin Hu had approved in public, he couldn't think about it, so he had to admit this loss, but he was open-minded by nature, and he wouldn't keep this matter in his heart, but although he acquiesced to the identity of Wei Qing's senior brother, he still called Wei Qing "Brother Qing", and the word senior brother was always difficult to say.

Since then, Wei Qing has practiced martial arts for half a day every day, and followed Cao Lu and other disciples and brothers in the city to keep an eye on people and find out the news. Wei Qing has always been obsessed with Cheng Qian in his heart, and always hoped to meet her in the city, but he never got his wish.

Unconsciously, more than half a year has passed, and seeing that summer has turned into autumn, Wei Qing's three levels of introductory heart method and the three styles of breaking the ridge palm have also been practiced, which can be regarded as a slight success, but the Jurchens in the north don't know if it is because of the leakage of news, and they have not been prepared to move south. On this day, Lin Hu summoned all the disciples to consider the progress of everyone's martial arts training, and then said: "Now the season is close to autumn, it is the day of autumn high horse fat, although there is no news that the Jin people are going south, but everyone should be careful to beware of the dog disturbing the border from now on", and then he arranged for the people to act separately, and most of the disciples sent to the north to spy on the military situation are some older disciples who have been in the beginner's time for a long time, and small apprentices like Wei Qing and Cao Lu are only responsible for sitting in the city in addition to practicing martial arts every day.

Wei Qing and Cao Lu were assigned to Chengxi Street to check if there were any suspicious people, and the two of them wandered around the street for a long time without finding any useful news, all of them were neighbors who lived in the local area, or some woodcutters and hunters who often went out. At noon, Cao Lu asked for a few steamed buns and Wei Qing sat on the side of the street and filled their stomachs casually, and suddenly there was a sound of shouting and scolding in an alley next to them, and the two followed the sound to check, but it turned out to be a gambling stall, and the gamblers quarreled and quarreled. Wei Qing saw that there was nothing abnormal and was about to leave, but Cao Lu reached out to grab him, took out a few corners of broken silver from his arms and said, "Brother Qing, wait until I gamble on both hands."

Wei Qing was puzzled: "I have never seen the master issue silver and save money, where did you get the silver." Cao Lu laughed, the corners of his eyebrows rose and said proudly: "Every time I hunt wild things with you, I quietly peel the skin to dry, and then secretly sell it to the leather dealer, and finally saved the three coins of silver, no one else knows about this, don't poke it out for me, otherwise the senior brothers have to let me invite everyone to drink, and if I win later, I will invite you to Wang Ji at the east gate to eat big meat buns."

Wei Qing said: "No wonder you have to rush to peel and wash the prey every time, the money you have saved yourself, it is none of my business to spend it as you want, I am just worried about whether I will miss the master's orders." Cao Lu laughed and said: "I haven't seen any suspicious people and things for most of the day, and this gambling stall is a mixture of dragons and snakes, so I can't ask about anything useful, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion in my heart, and I won't miss something."

Wei Qing also felt that there would be nothing to be found on the street, maybe Cao Lu could really find out anything unusual from the gambling stall, so he said: "Then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the alley, if there is something, I will call you, don't gamble for too long." Cao Lu waved his hand impatiently and said, "You can go yourself, I will come to meet you if I win."

Wei Qing knew that the life in the beggar gang was hard, and he relied on the daily begging and helpers of the disciples in the gang to earn some subsistence food and cloth, and it was not easy for Cao Lu to save these three coins of silver, so he couldn't help but say two more words on the occasion of parting: "Remember to accept it when you see it, don't bet too much at once." Cao Lu shouted without looking back: "Got it, young mother-in-law."

Wei Qing returned to the alley alone and squatted on the side of the road in a daze, and suddenly came out of his mind when he and Cheng Qian first met that day, the pretty figure standing under the locust tree at the door, thinking about it, his vision became more and more blurred, and the figure in his mind appeared in front of him as if it had become real, but the clothes on her body had changed, not the well-cut fur fur that had been cut at the beginning, but a bright red silk shirt.

"No, this time it's the real Miss Cheng", Wei Qing jumped up from the ground suddenly.
