Chapter 156: A dilemma
Zhang Xiaohua listened and was silent for a while.
I just want the second brother to throw himself into the ethereal faction, get rid of the life of licking blood from the knife head of the dart game, and by the way, he also cultivates advanced martial arts, and there is no other luxury, Wen Wenhai is also a piece of kindness, plus a little previous edge, this is under the door, it can be regarded as a coincidence.
It's just that all these good things are jealous firewood in the eyes of others, which can only make people dizzy and reject this shallow villager with good fortune from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua deeply felt that this human heart was really the most unpredictable thing in the world, even if it was an ethereal sect called a holy place in his mind, it was difficult to get rid of it. I don't know if it's right or wrong to push my second brother to the cusp?
A moment ago, I was still lively and happy, but at this time, I was a little gloomy.
Blessings, disasters are also relied upon, and the ancients did not deceive them!
The careful Li Jinfeng had already noticed Zhang Xiaohua's abnormal movements, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Xiaohua, don't mind too much, after all, they don't know the secrets, it is inevitable that they will not speculate more, chasing the wind and shadows is not uncommon in the world, you must learn to be calm, this is the most litmus test of right and wrong, the most able to hone people's hearts, the more experienced, the natural learning to be calm." A trivial matter is comparable to reading 10,000 books, if you are only in the pile of old papers, who can grow very much?"
Zhang Xiaohua still forced herself to laugh and said: "I know, Brother Li, I'm just a little uncomfortable, I did this for my second brother, and I can actually make people say so much right and wrong, they all say this in front of Captain He, and I don't know how to say it behind my back?"
Li Jinfeng smiled, and no longer persuaded him, this kind of thing, only relying on his own understanding, it is useless to say more, Zhang Xiaohua is only a teenager, it is not bad to have such an idea, if he can penetrate people's hearts now and be indifferent, it would be weird.
He Tianshu listened, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiaohua, you are thinking too much, they just say that grapes are sour when they can't eat grapes, this kind of thing involving the big gang leader, where is their turn to point fingers? ”
But all the bystanders are clear, and those in the game are confused, probably so, Zhang Xiaohua also knows this truth, but she still can't let go in her heart.
Behind the archway is a huge square, facing the main gate of a carved beam and painted pillars, but the door is closed, He Tianshu took the two of them, while walking to the side door, while explaining: "This main gate is generally the leader of the gang or the VIP who comes to the gang to walk, and the comings and goings of the gang on weekdays are a few side doors." ”
Li Jinfeng nodded and said: "These rules have been read in the book for a long time, I thought they were stereotypes, but in the era of advancing with the times, they may not be visible, and your gang still retains such an ancient style, which is commendable." ”
He Tianshu smiled and said: "Brother Li is a scholar who learns literature, and he is naturally scholarly and scolds Fang Xuan, but our martial arts practitioners follow the old system and are content with the ancient style, and such rules are not uncommon in the rivers and lakes." If it's been a long time, you will naturally know. ”
Li Jinfeng arched his hand and said: "Be taught, be taught." ”
The two talked about it, but Zhang Xiaohua was absent-minded, and the three of them walked for a while and came to a lush place.
He Tianshu stopped and said: "This is the living place of the big gang leader and the elders and disciples, where Zhang Xiaohu lives, I have to wait to ask to know." ”
As he spoke, from the door of a house, a young man with a face like a full moon and a proud expression walked out.
He Tianshu hurriedly walked up and arched his hand: "He Tianshu in the Pharmacy Hall, I want to come here to visit Zhang Xiaohu, the disciple that Senior Brother Wen Wenhai just received, but I don't know where he lives?
The man already had an expression of not approaching, and after listening to He Tianshu's words, he frowned even more, as if he had seen a fly, and reluctantly returned the salute, and pointed to the left impatiently and said, "Fifty steps forward, there is a small tree in front of the door." ”
didn't wait for He Tianshu to thank him, brushed his sleeves and left, muttering in a low voice as he walked: "It's another group of snobs, can't you practice martial arts well?" I always want to go to the left side of the door, it seems that I have to find a steward to set up a sign over there, and I have been a guide a few times in the past few days for no reason. ”
He Tianshu looked at the person's demeanor, and he was also inexplicable, he asked him for directions in a decent manner, and he never lost his etiquette, why was he so cold?
The three of them went on again, and saw a small tree at the gate of a courtyard.
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly took a few steps and stepped forward to knock on the door.
After a while, Zhang Xiaohu's voice came from inside the door: "Zhang Xiaohu is not here, he went to the practice ground to practice martial arts." ”
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, plucked out her ears, and shouted in surprise: "Second brother, I'm Xiaohua, I heard your voice, how can you practice in the field?"
Immediately, there was also a surprised voice inside, saying, "Haha, Xiaohua, wait a while." ”
The door opened with a "know", and it was Zhang Xiaohu who poked his head out, and he was very happy to see the three people in front of the door, so he quickly let the three of them in, and then carefully looked outside to confirm that there was no one, so he closed the courtyard door.
He Tianshu and the three of them stood next to Zhang Xiaohu, watching his series of strange actions, very puzzled, Zhang Xiaohua even asked: "Second brother, what are you doing here? How much money do you owe to others?"
Zhang Xiaohu turned around and smiled bitterly: "Sit inside, and talk in detail in a while." ”
This is a rather delicate small courtyard, there is an open space in the corner of the wall, where weapons and stone locks are placed to practice martial arts equipment, and the courtyard is also like the layout of the courtyard of Huanxi Villa, there is a stone table, and a stone bench. Now that the weather is mild, the four of them sat in the courtyard, and Zhang Xiaohu poured tea for everyone again, and then began to speak.
Zhang Xiaohua first couldn't wait to ask: "Second brother, what's going on? Are you really in debt to others?"
Zhang Xiaohu glared at him and said, "When did you see that your second brother owed someone money?"
Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and said, "Then the way you sneaked around just now is like the second man in our village who is stunned and his father owes people money." ”
Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly: "I'm also forced to be helpless." ”
He Tianshu asked: "Zhang Xiaohu, you can worship Senior Brother Wen, you are the descendant disciple of the Ouda Gang, who can force you." ”
Zhang Xiaohu said helplessly: "It is precisely because he is a disciple of the great gang leader that this is so." ”
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Zhang Xiaohu took a sip of water, and then explained: "That day, he was accepted by the master in the council hall, and then he bowed to the master, and he was arranged to this small courtyard. ”
He Tianshu interjected and said: "Tsk, there is really a difference in treatment, when I first started, it was a hut where several people lived, and when I was promoted, when I reached adulthood, it was still two people in a room, and you just started to live alone in a small courtyard, it is really a world of difference, no wonder everyone forced their heads to want to be a disciple." ”
Zhang Xiaohu said: "Uncle He, don't laugh at it, I'd rather live in a room with a few people." Not long after I moved here, a few people came to visit, and I didn't understand what was going on, so I gave them a warm welcome, but they didn't say anything, they just talked about it, and I had to accompany them. But they didn't sit for a while, and someone came again, and my small courtyard didn't break off people all day, and when there were more people, I realized that people's feelings were close to it, and they wanted to have a good relationship with me to see if they could give them a little benefit. You say, they don't talk to chickens and ducks? I can join the master's disciple myself, not because of Xiaohua's blessing, and I can't tell them, they just think that I have some secret way, and they have to come to investigate, and many people have put forward some jaw-dropping conditions, so I have to shirk it, but the more I push them, the more they think I can handle it, and the more entanglement I become. ”
He Tianshu couldn't help pouting when he heard this. He is also a representative of this ethereal faction, thinking that as long as his martial arts are good, he is everything, for people who are sophisticated, neglect to move around, and only practice martial arts, although he is now successful in martial arts, he has become a person who does not love his uncle and grandmother, so he was assigned to Huanxi Villa, and now he has listened to other people's drilling methods, and his heart is not only looking up, that is, there is still looking up.
Zhang Xiaohu continued: "So, when I arrived the next day, I saw that the flow of people was still there, so I pretended to go to the master to practice martial arts, so I hid out, and waited for everyone to leave, and then came back secretly. Someone knocked on the door in a hurry, I was the one who cleaned, anyway, they were not familiar with me, and they couldn't hear my voice, hehe. "A cunning look that has succeeded in a treacherous scheme.
Zhang Xiaohua relieved her heart and said, "I see." It seems that I didn't become a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, which is right, if I want to face such a person every day, I will be annoyed to death. ”
He Tianshu pursed his lips again and said disdainfully: "You are going to enter the Ethereal Sect, and you are also my disciple, if a ghost comes to you, I will let you be my master." ”
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "No, Captain He, your martial arts are also considered to be some in the sect, how can you get mixed up like this?"
He Tianshu let out a long breath and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, how can you know that people are sophisticated?"
Then he became lazy and discouraged.
Li Jinfeng comforted: "Captain He is in good shape, where there are people, there will be snobbery, and there will be people who are sophisticated, if there are no these things, wouldn't the red mortal world become the Pure Land of Bliss?"
Zhang Xiaohu also smiled and said: "What Gongzi Li said is right, Uncle He looks at me like this, isn't he also worried about such trivial matters, and he can't hide?"
Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said: "Second brother, in my heart, I always feel that the Ethereal Sect is a pure land, and the disciples in the Ethereal Sect are all captains, Wen Daxia and other masters, and their hearts must be noble, but listen to what you said, there are also a lot of perfunctory tendencies in this, flattery? ”
Li Jinfeng understood Zhang Xiaohua's mood very well, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua's mood is the same as when I first arrived at the college, the first time I saw the head of the college trading power and money with others, I was also depressed for a few days, and then I realized that the teacher is also a mortal, and a mortal must have selfish desires, and it is normal to do some shady things." ”
Zhang Xiaohua also learned from He Tianshu, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "I finally understand what it means to get out of the mud without staining, if there is no silt, where is there no noble cleanliness without staining?"
Then, Zhang Xiaohua remembered something again and asked, "By the way, second brother, we were on the side of the archway just now, and we heard those guards talk about you." ”
Zhang Xiaohu listened, still smiled bitterly, and said: "I know, I go out on weekdays, and I also hear others mention it, they don't know what I'm talking about, so naturally I don't have any scruples, it seems that the identity of the disciple of the big gang leader is really unusual." Not only do many people want to speculate in the camp, but there are also many people who look down on me, a disciple who has been killed halfway, and think that I am just stained with the light of others to have such a creation. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed and said: "Second brother, I am to blame for this matter, I didn't discuss it with you beforehand, so I really blame you for being in such a dilemma now." ”
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a smile and said: "It's okay, Xiaohua, I know that you gave me such a chance to practice martial arts for the good of your second brother, wasn't I stupid to be happy at the time? How can I think of so many things." It's too late for the second brother to thank you, how can I blame you? People who look up at the starry sky are not all appreciating the beauty of the night sky, maybe someone is bleeding from the nose, or it is better to be down-to-earth. Besides, the ancients are good, go your own way, and let others say go. I have followed my own path of martial arts, and who cares what others think? As long as I practice hard and achieve results, these rumors will naturally disappear. ”
He Tianshu stroked his palm and said: "Zhang Xiaohu, what you said is very good, you have a lot of potential, no wonder Senior Brother Wen can take a fancy to you, Uncle Wen wishes you to get ahead in the Ethereal Sect with tea instead of wine." ”
So the four of them each raised their teacups and drank them all.
Putting down the teacup, Zhang Xiaohu said to Zhang Xiaohua mysteriously: "Xiaohua, you wait here, the second brother will bring you something good." ”
After speaking, he walked into the room, and after a while, he took out a booklet, handed it to Zhang Xiaohua, and said, "Here, Xiaohua, this is the internal strength method that I specially asked for you from my master." ”
Zhang Xiaohua was shocked, immediately stood up from the stone bench, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Second brother, I can't help it, I can't help it, I haven't already taken a copy of the "Worry-free Heart Sutra" from the Library Pavilion, I can't ask for your ethereal things anymore, isn't it for you to put it wrong." ”
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Master has already told me about your "Worry-free Heart Sutra" as it is, Xiaohua, you are really powerful, there are so many internal skills in the Manshu Pavilion, why did you choose that one? It is precisely because of this that I asked Master for help." In fact, it's not as you imagined, there are no mistakes to make, this "Mangniu Jin" is just a kind of superficial internal strength of other factions, although it can't be seen outside, but in the ethereal faction, it's not worth a penny, you can take it with confidence, this is what the master nodded, I took it from his study. ”
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the thin cheats book with her eyes, and still said tentatively: "Second brother, is it really okay to take this "Mangniu Jin" away?"
Zhang Xiaohu raised his hand and threw it into his arms, and scolded with a smile: "It's okay to say it's okay, look at you like that, you obviously want to take it, but you're afraid of burning your hands." ”
Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her hand to take it, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will make mistakes, I heard that your ethereal faction's gang rules are very strict, and it's not just any internal strength that can be cultivated by others." ”
He Tianshu was also envious for a while, and said: "The descendants are different, I just want to see these exercises, and I have to ask the elders, you can give them away casually, it's really unfair." ”
Zhang Xiaohu said: "Uncle He said that he laughed, even if this exercise is for you to see, will you see it?"
He Tianshu stopped talking, hehe smiled.
Then, Zhang Xiaohu said to Zhang Xiaohua with concern: "Xiaohua, listen to the master, this "Mangniu Jin" is extremely easy, anyone who has a little understanding can also learn it, and the internal strength method is not complicated, and the practice route is also extremely simple, and there is generally no danger of going mad. ”
"Don't forget to watch the boxing score?" He Tianshu wondered when he heard it, was this Zhang Xiaohua?
Zhang Xiaohu continued: "This internal strength method was specially selected for you by the master, it should be true, however, you have not practiced the internal strength method, you should also be careful, if there is anything you don't understand, ask Uncle He." ”
Turning his head to He Tianshu, he said, "Please also ask Uncle He to take care of my brother more in the future." ”
He Tianshu smiled and said, "So many people in the faction are looking for you to form a gang, why are you looking for me?"
Then, he said: "I have heard of this "Mangniu Jin", it is very easy to get started, it seems that no one has heard of going crazy, but, Zhang Xiaohua, you can ask at any time if you have any difficulties, but I can't teach you this thing, after all, I am not practicing "Mangniu Jin""
Seeing He Tianshu agree, Zhang Xiaohu was very happy and thanked him repeatedly.
Subsequently, He Tianshu asked curiously: "Zhang Xiaohu, I don't know what internal strength method you want to practice?"
Zhang Xiaohu said embarrassedly: "Uncle He, you also know that I have practiced internal skills for a period of time in the Lotus Dart Bureau, and the master said that those internal skills are too rough and not good for the future, so I have already stopped them, but fortunately, the cultivation time is still short, and it will not affect the new internal strength cultivation, and he hasn't thought about what internal skills to teach me." ”
He Tianshu was envious again, and said in his heart: "The internal strength of the other sect was sent out so casually by your master, can you still have a fake cultivation?" Maybe it's "Ethereal Divine Skill"." ”
However, how could he say this, he just smiled and said: "That's a pity, you probably won't be able to participate in this year's martial arts conference." ”
"Martial arts conference?" Zhang Xiaohua, who was immersed in getting the inner strength method, seemed to hear something interesting and asked.
Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Uncle He, this is another joke, the disciple has just joined the master's sect, and he has not yet learned half a point in his fists and feet, internal strength and swordsmanship, how can he participate in this conference? Isn't that a disgrace to the master?"
Zhang Xiaohua, who was going to take a good look at the book "Mangniu Jin", immediately became interested, and thought about it in the past, but couldn't get it, and the internal strength method was still on the stone table, looked at the two of them curiously, and asked: "Tell me quickly, what is this martial arts conference?"
