"Silver?" The two brothers asked in unison, "Do you still have to pay silver to learn martial arts?"

When Fourth Master Wen heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and the brush in his hand slapped on the table with a "snap", and said angrily: "Who will teach you if you don't take the silver?

The brothers of the Zhang family didn't even dare to say it, and then Zhang Xiaohu told the guards of the Ethereal Villa that they came over, and Fourth Master Wen's anger subsided slightly, picked up the teacup on the table, drank a sip of water, and then spoke: "It seems that the doorman made a mistake, and you can't blame you for this matter." ”

Zhang Xiaohu said curiously: "May I ask the fourth master, what is wrong?"

Fourth Master Wen looked at Zhang Xiaohu's respectful appearance, cleared his throat, and said as a good teacher: "Seeing that you have come from afar, I will briefly tell you." ”

"This teacher generally has a martial arts hall, to pay tuition, eat and live in the martial arts hall, of course, there must be room and board fees, Pingyang City is our lotus dart bureau dominant, there is no separate martial arts hall, our dart bureau also has the role of a martial arts hall, and also recruits people to learn martial arts on weekdays. However, it is wrong for you to go to the Ethereal Villa to learn martial arts, the martial arts hall recruits people regardless of age, depending on the foundation and understanding of martial arts, it is generally acceptable, but the best age to practice martial arts is the best when people are five or six years old, and it will be difficult to practice martial arts in the future. ”

Speaking of which, the faces of the two brothers of the Zhang family changed dramatically, they thought that they would live in the Lotus Dart Bureau for a while, but they still wanted to devote themselves to the ethereal, but it seemed that they were thinking too simply.

Zhang Xiaohua asked nervously: "Then Fourth Master, what do the guards of the villa mean by calling us here?"

Wen Siye smiled, twisted his beard, and said: "In addition to recruiting people to practice martial arts in the martial arts hall, the Lotus Dart Bureau is of course mainly engaged in the trading of the Dart Bureau. ”

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly asked, "Do you need to pay silver?"

Wen Siye said: "The guards and executioners of the darts work for the dart board, of course, they don't have to pay the silver, and they are paid every month." ”

Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Can you learn martial arts?"

Wen Siye said: "Yes, of course, you have to defend yourself with martial arts, how can you do it without learning martial arts?"

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu's eyes immediately shone brightly, this errand that can practice martial arts and get silver is really good.

However, Fourth Master Wen's following words made the two of them immediately fall into the abyss: "However, the executioners and guards of this move also have to have a foundation in martial arts, have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Zhang Xiaohu pursed his lips and whispered, "I haven't practiced." ”

Fourth Master Wen's face immediately sank, and he said, "How can the guards of this Ethereal Mountain Villa do foolish things? Why are you sent here without asking carefully, just let you go home." ”

Then, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Where are you from?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Lu Zhen." ”

Fourth Master Wen muttered: "Lu Zhen, Lu Zhen, I didn't hear that the disciple's home is in Lu Town." ”

Then he asked: "Lu Zhen is very far away from here, how do you know about the Ethereal Sect?"

Zhang Xiaohu only said that he knew Wen Wenhai and Lu Yueming, and did not elaborate on anything else.

Fourth Master Wen's brows loosened at this time, and he understood the meaning of the guard in his heart.

He immediately said with a little pleasant face: "Since this is the case, then you should go to the executioner to have a look, there is no foundation for martial arts, the guards will definitely not be accepted, if the executioner is still short of people, there is still some hope, go, the old man is fine, take you to Li Lao Liu." ”

After speaking, he got up and walked out with the two of them, which flattered the Zhang brothers.

Fourth Master Wen took the brothers of the Zhang family to the fourth room next door, asked the two to wait outside the house for a while, and he pushed the door in, there was a thin man in the house, about thirty years old, who was smoking a dry cigarette, and when he saw Fourth Master Wen come in, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can Fourth Master Wen have time to come to me?"

Fourth Master Wen looked at the smoke all over the house, walked to the window, pushed open the window, fanned the smoke in front of him with his hand and said: "Li Lao Liu, two less puffs can kill people, the house is full of smoke, who loves to come." ”

Then, he asked, "Have you been able to recruit people smoothly in the past few days?" ”

Li Lao Liu took the dry tobacco, knocked the smoke pot on the stool and said: "It's almost the same, the bodyguards are still one or two, the executioner is a little troublesome, almost a lot, after all, the money is less, and you have to work hard, a little basic love to be a bodyguard, and even if you can almost be a guard for the carriage and horse shop, it is better than working hard in the dart bureau." ”

Fourth Master Wen smiled and said, "That's just right." ”

Then he turned around and let the Zhang brothers into the house, and said to Zhang Xiaohu: "This is Li Liuye, who is responsible for recruiting executioners." Get acquainted. ”

Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Li Lao Liu looked at Zhang Xiaohu, then looked at Wen Siye strangely, and said, "Which play are you singing?

Fourth Master Wen nodded, Li Lao Liu looked at Zhang Xiaohu up and down, and asked, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you haven't practiced martial arts, right?"

Zhang Xiaohu replied respectfully: "Yes, I haven't practiced." ”

Li Lao Liu looked at Fourth Master Wen in confusion and said, "I haven't practiced, what are you doing, how can you let me collect it? The executioner is also in danger, and you haven't made it clear to him about this life-saving matter?"

Fourth Master Wen said with a smile: "This time the executioner is no better than a bodyguard, and it is not necessary to know martial arts, I still know this, he just wants to learn martial arts, and..."

Then, Wen Siye muttered a few words in Li Laoliu's ear, and Li Laoliu nodded again and again when he heard it, but Zuihou still said: "Although the executioner didn't say that he must have martial arts, if he is not physically good and does not have a certain talent for martial arts, I still can't ask for it, otherwise if something goes wrong in the future, I won't be able to explain it to those people." ”

Fourth Master Wen said with a smile: "They are all from crop men, and their bodies should be fine, you take him to the martial arts training ground to test it, he can do it best, if not, just explain to him, you can't just take your life because you want to practice martial arts." ”

turned back to Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Did you say?"

Zhang Xiaohu nodded again and again.

Li Lao Liu had no choice but to say to Zhang Xiaohu: "Okay, you come with me." ”

After speaking, he took Zhang Xiaohu to the square outside the house, at this time there were already some people practicing martial arts in the martial arts training ground, some people were practicing fists and feet, some people were fighting around with weapons, and some people were holding stone locks and fighting hard. Li Laoliu took Zhang Xiaohu to the side of the stone lock, and several people who lifted the stone lock put down the stone lock, gave Li Laoliu and others a salute, and stood next to him, Li Laoliu pointed to a stone lock and said to Zhang Xiaohu: "This is a 100-pound stone lock, can you lift it?"

Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't lifted it before." ”

Li Lao Liu said: "Then you can try it." ”

Zhang Xiaohu nodded, stepped forward, grabbed the stone lock with his hand, lifted it vigorously, and then took a deep breath, learned the way the person lifted the stone lock just now, and suddenly lifted the stone lock over his head with one hand, and then put it down, looked back at Li Laoliu, Li Laoliu nodded and said: "It's okay, that one is one hundred and fifty catties, you try again." ”

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the slightly larger stone lock next to him, and still raised it, but the forehead was already sweating, Li Laoliu seemed to be a little satisfied, and the people watching the excitement next to him did not have the contempt just now, after all, Zhang Xiaohu was at this age, and his body was not very strong, and it was good to lift one hundred and fifty catties without training, Li Laoliu did not give up, and pointed to the other one and said: "This is two hundred catties, you try again." ”

At this time, the people next to him were also fluted, and the two hundred catties of stone locks were not the heaviest in the martial arts training ground, however, not everyone in this group could lift them when they first came, only a few men who looked obviously muscular could show their faces at the beginning, and the rest were all after practicing and boiling up their strength before they could lift the two hundred catties of stone locks, this Li Lao Liu now let Zhang Xiaohu try to lift, either because he wanted to make things difficult or to see Zhang Xiaohu's potential.

Zhang Xiaohu was like a rising calf at this time, naturally he was not afraid, he stepped forward and weighed it first, and felt very heavy, however, thinking about the future practice of martial arts, he still took a deep breath as before, and raised his one-arm strength xiangshang, but unfortunately when he was about to lift it above his head, his arm was weak, and the stone lock fell to the ground, Zhang Xiaohu's face was a little pale, but the people around him applauded, several people applauded, Li Laoliu also nodded, smiled and said: "Not bad, very good." ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaohu knew that he should have passed the test in terms of strength.

Then, Li Lao Liu asked Zhang Xiaohu: "You haven't practiced martial arts at all, have you?"

Zhang Xiaohu nodded yes.

At this time, the people practicing martial arts next to him were attracted by the applause here, Li Laoliu pointed to a young man who had just come over and was about the same grade as Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Little monkey, come here, give us a set of six and boxing." ”

Then, he turned his head to Zhang Xiaohu and said, "You watch it carefully, and when he finishes fighting, you can repeat it to me." ”

The six and boxing is a simple set of introductory boxing methods, under the hands of the little monkey, it is also impressive, it seems that there is no lack of effort, Zhang Xiaohu is attentive to look at his moves, and when the little monkey finishes the work, there is no less applause next to him.

Li Laoliu looked at Zhang Xiaohu, Zhang Xiaohu closed his eyes, as if recalling, and waited for a while, before slowly fighting from the first move, slowly fighting, although there was no momentum in the fight, but it was also a board and a glance, and there was a good order, and the more he fought, the more frightened Li Laoliu was, and everyone was stunned until he played a set of boxing methods of six or seven out of ten, then he stopped, scratched his head, Zhang Xiaohu said embarrassedly: "I forgot the rest." ”

Li Lao Liu said sharply: "To be honest, you really haven't practiced martial arts before?"
