Chapter 4 Success Loves Those Who Are Prepared
A ride on the red dust woke up the tranquility of Xiatun Village, and saw a white horse with no miscellaneous hair galloping to the gate of Tianfu. Immediately jumped down a young man wearing a blue shirt and a long sword at his waist, and the young man was immediately welcomed into the mansion by the housekeeper Li Xiong after dismounting.
All this fell into the eyes of Wei Li and Second Uncle Chen in the distance, and Wei Li unconsciously clenched his fists.
Second Uncle Chen beside him was very calm, patted Wei Li's shoulder with his hand, and said softly: "Let's go and wait at the archway, don't be nervous, there is no accident in this matter." ”
Wei Li only said that this was the second uncle's words to comfort him, so he didn't let go of his worries and followed the second uncle Chen to the gate of Tianfu.
Under the steps of the Tianfu lobby, Viscount Tian Chong was dressed in black, leading the whole family to wait for the arrival of the disciples of the "Jingwu Sect". Tian Chong's face was sallow, and the eldest lady was supporting him, and anyone who saw it could know that he was not in good health from this sick face.
Next to the eldest lady stood a tiger-headed boy, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a fierce face. Next to her was a young woman in her twenties, with eyebrows like a crescent moon and a charming face, Tian Fei was standing next to her obediently.
After the blue-shirted young man entered the gate and turned the screen, he found that Tian Chong actually brought his family to greet him in front of the hall, and hurriedly walked a few steps to salute Tian Chong and said, "After entering Li Ke at the end of school, I have seen Senior Brother Tian." ”
Tian Chong took two steps forward to hold Li Ke and gently picked him up, Li Ke secretly had luck, but he was still carried up by a huge force, and he was convinced: "Although the senior brother has been away from the mountain for many years, the legend that the senior brother has passed through the third floor of the "Tower of Babel" overnight can still be heard in the door. ”
Tian Chong coughed lightly, a trace of blush flashed on his face, and he sighed: "Blue is better than blue, it's not good to be old, senior brother doesn't have such deep internal strength as you when he is so old." The junior brother should have the strength to enter the "Young Master List"!"
This list of young masters is the masters under the age of 20 who are ranked in the rivers and lakes, and the masters below the innate realm of internal strength are selected. The generations of Jingwumen are quite strange, in terms of martial arts, they are divided into three generations, the physical realm, the true qi realm and the congenital realm, and people with the same realm are all commensurate with senior brothers, so although Tian Chong is more than ten years older than Li Ke, he still calls him junior brother.
Li Ke replied: "Senior brother also knows that the progress of our "Jingwumen" kung fu is slow in the early stage, and it will slowly catch up in the later stage, and only Senior Sister Ling Wei has entered the list of young masters at present. ”
Tian Chong greeted Li Ke over the steps carved into white marble, entered the lobby, only to see that the hall was gorgeously decorated, carved beams and painted buildings, the hall was surrounded by hollow incense burners, the hall was fragrant, and the floor of the lobby was paved with good ink stone, which was full of style.
After the guest sat down, Tian Chong said: "I have been away from the door for more than ten years, and I am disabled and sick, so I dare not go back to the master to disturb him." I don't know if the teacher is in good health, who is in charge of the door?"
Li Kedao: "Uncle Chang is in good health, he has been practicing the Seven Injuries Fist all these years, and he has never forgotten the injury of his senior brother back then. ”
Tian Chong's face was excited, there were tears in his eyes, and he only heard Li Ke continue: "The master of the Sanfeng Sect is in retreat all the year round, and the Chongyang Zhenren and Kongjian Divine Monk basically ignore things, and the things in the door are basically handled by Qiao Fengqiao Protector now. ”
Tian Chong said: "Senior Brother Qiao, hey, it should be called Qiao Protector now, he was a man of the year back then, and he couldn't hold our heads up in a generation, I'm afraid that in a few years, I will be able to enter the top ten grandmaster list!"
Li Ke agreed: "Qiao Protector is indeed gifted, any martial arts can have the effect of turning decay into magic in his hands, he values love and righteousness, and the disciples in the sect admire him very much." ”
After saying this, Li Ke went straight to the point and said: "This time, the master sent me to recruit disciples, and the senior brother can recommend two places, and the senior brother needs to make arrangements as soon as possible, and I can also return to the mountain to resume my life." ”
Tian Chong said: "This is exactly my headache, senior brother, there are three suitable candidates here now, and it is difficult to make a decision." After speaking, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
At this time, the beautiful woman beside Tian Fei interjected: "Master, there are only two candidates, Fei'er and Qi'er, how can there be so many people?" As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Chong's stern gaze was ushered in, and the latter words were swallowed into his mouth.
The eldest lady Jia Shi took the opportunity and said: "Fei'er is still young, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of myself when I enter the mountain gate, I think it is better to wait for the next time to participate, and it will not delay the age." ”
The beautiful woman didn't expect such a result, she was a little scared, and couldn't help but beg: "Master!"
At this time, Tian Fei beside him said: "I want to be a general in the future, so I don't want to go to practice martial arts and suffer!"
Jia Shi took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Qi'er is going alone and needs someone to take care of him, Wei Li, that child can be self-reliant since he was a child, and the master can let him go with him." ”
Old God Li Ke was sitting on the Taishi chair, deaf to the internal struggle of the Tian family, he was also from a big family, for this kind of struggle in the family, anyway, as long as he recruited two disciples and completed the task, he would not wade into troubled waters.
Tian Chong didn't know what the purpose was, so he didn't approve or oppose the eldest lady's suggestion, but said, "Li Xiong, you go and call Wei Li and let Senior Brother Li see this child." ”
Li Xiong, who was at the entrance of the lobby, hurriedly walked down the steps and went to look for Wei Li.
Wei Li followed behind Li Xiong, putting away all his thoughts to deal with the next situation, he already knew the situation in the hall from Li Xiong's mouth.
Walking to the door of the lobby, Li Xiong said softly: "You can go in by yourself, as for whether it can be successful, it depends on your performance." ”
Wei Li tidied up his clothes and walked into the lobby calmly, his steps were steady, his forehead was slightly lower, neither looking cowardly nor arrogant.
After entering the lobby, the light became a little dim, and Wei Li took the opportunity to glance at the situation in the hall. He bowed and saluted: "The boy Wei Li greets the viscount, meets the hero, meets the eldest lady, and meets the second lady." ”
He did not kneel, this is a fairly open dynasty, if there is no great grace, there is no need to kneel, the so-called great grace does not say thanks, can only kneel. It is also said that a man has gold under his knees, and only kneels to the sky and his parents.
Tian Chong looked at Wei Li, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Wei Li, how old are you this year, why do you want to wander the rivers and lakes? That is very dangerous, and you will lose your life at any time." ”
Wei Li had thought of dozens of reasons for the answer to this question, such as acting chivalrous and righteous, killing the rich and helping the poor, etc., but at this time he only dared to say: "Viscount Hui, Wei Li is fourteen years old this year, and he has also read a few books, knowing that "the eldest husband can't eat five tripods in life, and he should cook five tripods when he dies", and he would rather die vigorously than die mediocre. ”
Tian Chong was noncommittal, but asked Li Kedao: "Senior Brother Li, what do you think of this child?"
In fact, Li Ke is only sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than Wei Li.
At this time, Li Ke was graceful and replied: "The observation is meticulous, bold and not afraid of death, but he is a material for breaking into the rivers and lakes." ”
Tian Chong said: "So the two places this time are Qi'er and Wei Li!"
Li Ke naturally would not object, only the second lady Lu Shi looked at Wei Li with resentful eyes. Tian Fei ran to Wei Li's body and suddenly realized: "So you are not stupid!"
Wei Li could only smile bitterly, and then heard Tian Chong say: "Wei Li, you go back to prepare first, and then follow Senior Brother Li to set off tomorrow." Senior Brother Li, I have arranged some programs, and I will definitely let my junior brother enjoy tonight, you can watch it. ”
Li Ke nodded and said, "Everything is under the orders of Senior Brother." ”
Wei Li hurriedly said goodbye and left, he knew that Tian Chong would definitely take advantage of this time to do a good job of public relations, and let Li Ke take care of them in the door in the future.
Until he left Tianfu, Wei Li still couldn't believe it, and the major event that would determine the fate of his life was decided in these three words. Thinking about it, I take it for granted, if I didn't do the work in advance, how could I have the opportunity to say a few words.
After telling the news to Second Uncle Chen, Wei Li did not return home, but walked towards the second uncle Wei Dong's house in the village. Since he became a shepherd at the age of eight, he has never set foot in Wei Dong's house again, and he has quite complicated thoughts about Wei Dong, blaming him for bullying the original owner of this body, but also a little lucky, otherwise it would not be his turn to occupy the dove's nest.
