Alienated Martial Arts

There was a soft squeaking sound.

Wei Tao looked around and gently pushed open the wooden door of his small courtyard.

The room was dark, and then the oil lamp came on, and a man carried him to the door of the main house.

"It's Brother Tao who's back. The food is still on the stove for you." Wei Rongxing put down the wooden stick that stuck in the door and opened the door.

"Where's mother?" Wei Tao entered the room, picked up the water bowl on the table and took a sip.

"Today I went to work in the jade workshop with your sister. This way my family can earn two or three more coins every month, and I can often buy you some meat to replenish your health."

Wei Rongxing brought a large bowl of rice from the stove and a piece of pickles from the vegetable vat, and placed them all in front of him.

Wei Tao turned around to retrieve an empty bowl and divided half of the rice out. "I ate a lot at the martial arts school at noon. I can't finish this big bowl of rice. Father, please help me eat some."

"I had porridge in the evening." Wei Rongxing rubbed his hands and refused halfway, but was defeated by those determined eyes and reached out to take the bowl and chopsticks.

"Does mother and sister live together in Jade Workshop?"

"Yes, they take care of food and housing there. It's good to earn more and be safe." Wei Rongxing ate very quickly, finishing half a bowl of rice with pickles in just two sentences.

"I also took on a big job recently. If I do it this way, I can almost scrape together the accommodation expenses for two months at the martial arts school, and I won't have to go back and forth."

"Which family's job did my father take?"

"Well, the customer seems to be a teacher. He bought a courtyard near the inner city two days ago. A few of us old guys went over to help build a house and make furniture for the entire courtyard."

Wei Tao nodded and emphasized, "I heard from the teacher that the city has not been very peaceful recently, so you should be more careful when going out."

"I know, that gentleman also mentioned that there seems to be a war going on outside, and there are a lot of bandits and bandits of all kinds."

Wei Rongxing waited for him to finish eating, then blew out the oil lamp and started to put away the tableware under the dim moonlight, "Don't worry, we are all going together as a group. We will come back before dark and there won't be any problems."

The night is getting darker.

Wei Tao lay on the bed, recalling the tragic battle that took place in the alley again and again in his mind.

More than a dozen living lives turned into cold corpses in an instant.

A ray of moonlight shone in through the crack in the window, leaving a straight mark on his cheek like a sword blade.

This is troubled times.

Human life is lower than vegetation.

Without truly strong strength, you may face the threat of death at any time.

After a long time, he calmed down his complicated thoughts, quietly opened the door and came to the yard.

Picking up the homemade stone lock, I started practicing over and over again.

Qi and blood are sensed in their circulation.

Then it operates more skillfully.

Suddenly, the sound of opening a floodgate and releasing water suddenly sounded between his hands.

Wei Tao subconsciously mobilized the energy and blood in his hands again.

Two streams of heat meander under the skin,

Follow the mirrored route around for a week,

Finally, it condenses in the center of the palm.

With a move in his heart, he clasped his hands together, palms together.

The sound was the crisp sound of jade stones clashing.

"The palm of your hand is as red as blood and as hard as stone to the touch."

"It took me more than two months, and with the help of the progress of Youshiquan, I finally opened the door to Red Line Boxing before the deadline until I had some feelings from watching the fight today."

Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

……………………

Swish, swish, swish!

Next to the hot cauldron, Wei Tao plunged his arms deeply into it.

Qi and blood quickly gathered in the palm of the hand, and then remained stable as bright red as blood and as hard as stone.

He could clearly feel that his ability to absorb the medicinal powder had at least doubled compared to before.

And the chain reaction caused by this is enough to change the effect of the entire practice.

After completing two sets of scrubs, Wei Tao slowly dispersed the energy and blood in his palms and came to rest on a stone bench nearby.

Many people on the field were still practicing hard in the scorching sun, and no one was in the mood to talk. Only Wang Lianshan was wandering around, muttering to more than one person, not knowing what he was talking about.

The person on duty today to guide the practice was the second senior sister. Except for standing next to Wang Lianshan to give some guidance at the beginning, she spent the rest of the time sitting alone in the shade of a tree with her eyes closed, as if she was not allowed to approach strangers.

Wei Tao naturally had no intention of going to her to report his breakthrough.

Until the next day, senior brother Tan Pan appeared on the martial arts training ground.

Wei Tao first practiced in the iron sand for half an hour, and then came to the stone lock area in the corner.

After using gold coins to directly upgrade to the level of entering the palace, and after more than a month of non-stop practice, he has improved the proficiency of Youshiquan by another 10%, reaching a level of 70% proficiency.

Under his control, the stone lock flew up and down, very agile, as if it had a life of its own.

Tan Pan's attention was quickly attracted, and he came close to watch with interest.

As time passed, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Especially when Wei Tao raised his palms upward and held up the heavy stone lock with one hand, spinning it rapidly, making the sound of gold and jade colliding and rubbing, he couldn't help stroking his palms and shouting "Hello".

"Big Brother."

Wei Tao put down the stone lock, cupped his fists and bowed.

Tan Pan's eyes fell on his hand, and he said with a smile, "Junior Brother Wei, do you know that you have exceeded the entry level?"

"Ah, have I already started?" Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of surprise slowly appeared on his face.

He originally wanted to wait until Peng Yue was on duty and then prove that he met the entry standards, which would save him a lot of trouble.

After all, among the six formal disciples in the inner courtyard, he and Peng Yue, who also came from a poor background, were closest to each other.

Not only was it a common secret that he shared money for killing people on the first day of his apprenticeship, but also because after that day, he used the money he received from time to time to invite Peng Yue out to sit down and drink a few glasses of wine together to enhance their relationship.

As the saying goes, relationships become deeper as time goes by, and become shallower with use.

Especially when the status of the two parties is not equal, it will cost more to maintain the relationship.

Whether in modern society before time travel or in the world after time travel, the relationship between people is roughly the same.

What Peng Yue said a few days ago in Shaobailou made him vaguely aware that finding his senior brother would have the same effect.

"Junior Brother Wei, please follow me to the inner courtyard to meet the teacher."

Tan Pan walked towards the inner courtyard first and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Peng has talked about you in front of me more than once. Now it seems that he has a pretty good taste."

On the martial arts training ground, Wang Lianshan suddenly pulled his arms out of the iron sand and looked thoughtfully at the backs of the two people as they entered the inner courtyard.

"Haha, after observing for so many days, I actually made a mistake."

Wang Lianshan turned around and looked at the registered disciple on the side, and suddenly laughed out loud, "I thought he could jump around for a few days, but I didn't expect that he met the entry requirements at the last moment and entered the inner courtyard before me. , became the seventh direct disciple of the Red Line Sect."

His eyes were cold, and his expression did not look like that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. "But, I, Wang Lianshan, don't really like the number eight."

"Young Master Wang, has Wei Tao met the entry requirements?"

"Won't you go and see it yourself?" Wang Lianshan stopped smiling, and the irritability and anxiety appeared in the depths of his eyes again.

His palms touched lightly, and there was a crisp sound like gold and iron, "I was so excited just now that my blood was surging, and I accidentally reached the entry level."

In the martial arts training ground, all the registered disciples immediately cast extremely envious and jealous looks.
