The ethereal mountain villa was really far away, and the carriage went out of the city gate, and traveled eastward for nearly a pillar of incense, and then came to the front of a straight avenue, the carriage stopped, and the three of them got out of the carriage.

Qiu Tong pointed to the avenue and said: "Go further, after the avenue is the Ethereal Villa, I can't send you any further, I live in Huanxi Villa, you can play with me if you have the opportunity." ”

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu said some words of thanks, Qiu Tong got into the carriage, the carriage turned around, and slowly walked back, Qiu Tong waved goodbye to the two in the car.

The two brothers of the Zhang family, looking at the wide and straight avenue and the huge trees next to it, couldn't help but feel a solemn feeling in their hearts, the two took a deep breath and strode forward.

After walking for a short time, I saw the tall archway in front of me, and when I got closer, I could see the big "ethereal" on the archway more clearly, wasn't it the two words on the token?

The brothers' hearts beat faster, and they could see hope when they saw it.

There are a few people standing straight below the archway, and there is a person who is cruising around the left and right, it should be the leader, it is noon, the avenue under the sun is only the two brothers of the Zhang family walking, they have naturally seen it a long time ago, looking at the two people are still moving forward, the person greeted him, raised his right hand, stopped the two from moving forward, looked at the two of them for a long time, and asked: "Please stay in front of you, the front is my help." ”

Zhang Xiaohu stepped forward, clasped his fists and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Ethereal Mountain Villa?"

The man looked at Zhang Xiaohu suspiciously, and replied, "It's the Ethereal Villa." ”

Zhang Xiaohu said happily: "Great, what we are looking for is the Ethereal Villa." ”

The man took a step back vigilantly and asked, "Excuse me, what is this friend doing?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "We are here to learn art from the Ethereal School. ”

The man was stunned, as if he had seen something funny, and looked at Zhang Xiaohu, and the straight guards next to him who were still standing just now looked at the two of them with strange expressions, just like that person.

Zhang Xiaohua asked strangely: "What's the matter? We came from Luzhen to learn art." ”

The man couldn't help it at this moment, smiled and covered his stomach, pointed at the two of them, and said, "Apprenticeship?

Those guards also bent down with laughter, and a few even sat on the ground, as if they had heard the world's first daxiao words.

The two brothers of the Zhang family didn't understand what everyone was laughing at, so they had to stand there obediently, and when they had laughed enough, they cautiously asked, "What are you laughing at?"

This remark caused a burst of laughter from the crowd, but when they laughed again, the leader said, "Two more poor creatures attracted by the legend of the rivers and lakes." ”

Then, he waved his hand at them and said, "The Ethereal Sect has already recruited disciples some time ago, and now it is no longer recruiting, so you better go home." ”

Zhang Xiaohua was anxious and said, "We came from Luzhen, sat in the car for several days, and spent a lot of silver, why did we let us go home?"

Zhang Xiaohu was also stunned, he really didn't think about it before he came, he thought that he would be able to learn martial arts when he came, how did he know that people don't recruit disciples now, this can be done?

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohu thought of something, and he said to the leader: "This big brother, I know the Wen Wenhai Wen hero of your faction, can you take us to meet him?"

The leader looked at him and said, "We have Wen Daxia in our Ethereal Sect, but there are more people who know his name, which does not mean that you know him." ”

When Zhang Xiaohu heard it, he felt that there was a play, so he said: "You just said that he is the Zhang family brother in Luzhen, I believe he has some impressions." ”

The leader said, "It's a pity, even if you know Wen Daxia, I can't take you to see him, because he is not in the villa at all." ”

Zhang Xiaohu was disappointed for a while, and at this time, Zhang Xiaohua interjected and said, "Then, what about Lu Yueming and Lu Daxia?"

The leader said: "Hey, you know a lot, but Lu Daxia is not in the villa, there is still no way, alas, in fact, even if you know them, they will not let you learn the arts, you better go back quickly, so haode can farm at home and live." ”

The leader had vicious eyes, and he had already seen through the identities of the two peasant families.

The Zhang brothers wanted to say something more, but the leader said: "This is the gateway to the Ethereal Villa, and it has always been forbidden for strangers to approach and make noise, and now it is still a sensitive period, it is not right for me to tell you so much, you better stop pestering and leave early." ”

When the two heard this, they were very frustrated, and they had no choice but to walk away slowly with their heads down.

At this time, someone from the guard standing guard whispered to the leader: "Boss, these two people have even said the names of a few of our core disciples, is it possible that they really know them? Although it is a joke to learn the art of apprenticeship, if a few bosses know that someone they know is looking for them and actually let us run away, wouldn't it offend people?"

The leader couldn't help but ponder, and another guard next to him said: "I heard that the Lotus Dart Bureau is not recruiting, let them try, if they don't succeed and go home, the bosses will know, and we can be regarded as showing the way, and we can't blame us." ”

When the chief heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This is true, but you are a clever boy." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly caught up with the Zhang family brothers who had just walked a short distance, and shouted loudly: "Two brothers, go slowly." ”

Zhang Xiaohua and the two were walking forward dejectedly, and when they heard someone calling him, they immediately stopped and asked, "What's the matter, but let us in?"

The chief smiled and said, "It is absolutely impossible to go in." But the two little brothers are here to learn from the teacher, so I'll show you the way. “

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu's eyes lit up, and they asked in unison, "Where is the road?"

The leader said: "There is a lotus dart bureau in Pingyang City, and it is recruiting people at this time, you can try it, if you can be hired, someone will naturally teach you martial arts." ”

When the two of them heard it, this was not the place where Shangguan Yun and Yu Lun went, it seemed that what Yu Lun and Yu Lun said was true. In the morning, I thought about coming to the Ethereal Villa, but I left the Lotus Dart Game behind, and it seems that I have to ask for the second best today.

The two hurriedly took the leader's guidance and asked in detail about the location of the Lotus Dart Bureau, and then waved goodbye.

At this time, it was already afternoon, the sun was shining, and what he ate in the morning had already been digested, Zhang Xiaohua was so hungry that he was close to his heart, and Zhang Xiaohu was no better, but fortunately, there were scattered people in front of the Ethereal Villa, and there were many people who begged for a living here, and the two brothers found a small shop and ate a little hastily.

When I came, I was hitchhiking, although it was far away, but there were people talking, I didn't feel too bored, when I went back, there were two people, one after the other, there was a ride without a ride, there was a cool place to be good, when I was exposed to the sun, it was really difficult, there were not many people walking on this road from the Ethereal Villa to Pingyang City, even if there were all riding horses or riding carriages, these people were in a hurry, and no one paid attention to the two brothers walking on the side of the road.

When the two brothers walked to the vicinity of Pingyang City, they were already sweating, but when they saw the outline of the city gate, the two immediately came to their senses, and their steps accelerated.

Fortunately, the Lotus Dart Bureau was near the city gate, and it was also easy to inquire, and after a while, the two brothers came to a gate.

This is a very big door, in front of the door is the statue of two lions, the left and right of the door are one each, it looks very magnificent, there is a black plaque hanging on the door, there are four golden characters on it, Zhang Xiaohua recognizes the second "flower" word, it is estimated that it is "Lotus Dart Bureau".

There were also a few people standing at the door, but they were all dressed in cloth, and there was no sword hanging from their waists, and the two brothers walked up the stairs, and immediately one of them greeted them, and the man looked at the two brothers' dresses, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but he still asked with a smile: "Excuse me, two brothers, are you here to find a guard, or are you here to find someone to send a dart?"

Fortunately, I heard Yu Lun talk about the dart game before, but Zhang Xiaohu didn't make a fool of himself, and he also hugged his fists and said: "Our brothers came to the Lotus Dart Bureau to learn art. ”

The man looked Zhang Xiaohu up and down, nodded, and said, "Please wait." ”

Then, he shouted to the back: "Little Four, come and bring these two to the side room, they are here to learn martial arts." ”

There was a very clever and thin guy in the back, who answered, ran over, and led the Zhang brothers into the gate.

There is a very wide field in the gate, a lot of weapons are placed on one side of the field, and some stone locks and other things are placed in the corner, the sun is still very strong at this time, there is no one in the field, and the people who should practice martial arts are still resting.

The little guy took the Zhang brothers to the front of a row of houses on the right hand side of the field, walked to the second door, knocked on the door carefully, and after a while, a hoarse voice inside asked, "Who, come in." ”

The little guy pushed open the door and took the Zhang brothers into the house, the room was a study, and there was a man in his forties sitting behind the desk, dressed as a Confucian student, with sleepy eyes, it seemed that he had just taken a nap at the desk.

Of course, the one who was disturbed by his good dreams was not very happy, looked at everyone, and asked unhappily: "Little Four, what's the matter?"

The little guy hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Wen, these two are here to learn from the teacher, can you arrange it?"

Wen Ye listened, waved his hand, and said, "Got it, you can go"

The little girl smiled and said, "Then trouble Master Wen, I'll go out." ”

Then, he said to Zhang Xiaohu: "This is the fourth master of our Lotus Dart Bureau, who is in charge of recruiting people in the martial arts hall, you can listen to his arrangement." ”

Zhang Xiaohu hugged his fists and thanked him, and the little guy went out and closed the door with his backhand.

Fourth Master Wen looked at the dress of the two and frowned, but he still took a booklet from the left side of the table, opened it, asked the names of the two, wrote them down with hair, and then asked, "Do you say you live in the dart game, or do you live outside?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Of course, I live in the dart game. ”

Fourth Master Wen nodded and said, "Okay, the tuition fee for practicing martial arts for a year is fifty taels of silver, the cost of room and board is thirty taels of silver, and the two of you are one hundred and sixty taels of silver, bring the silver ticket." ”

When Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua heard this, they were dumbfounded.
