Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 159
Twilight.

Wei Tao came out from the house.

Hit some water to wash and clean up.

Then he came to the courtyard as usual, and while waiting for breakfast, he stretched his muscles and practiced martial arts.

A small creak.

The wooden door of the courtyard was pushed open.

Before it was time for breakfast, someone came over?
More importantly, he didn't even hear the sound of footsteps approaching.

Wei Tao turned his head to look, and what he saw was indeed not the handyman delivering meals, but the slender and tall figure he was already very familiar with.

"Good morning, Ni Daozi."

He retracted his fists and bowed slightly.

With a hasty look on his face, Ni Xuan said quickly, "I suddenly remembered a question about the Wufang Pagoda, so I came here to remind you."

She was just about to continue to say something, but her eyes froze suddenly.

Immediately after a dodge, he came to the front in an instant.

She stared at Wei Tao's shoulder with burning eyes.

The tip of the nose kept moving, sniffing around him.

"You actually cultivated a blood image?"

After a while, Ni Tang returned to his original position.

With a complicated expression, he asked in surprise.

Wei Tao lowered his head and glanced at his shoulder, which was tightly wrapped by thick clothes, and there was no change at all on the surface.

I don't know why her eyes are so sharp, her nose is so sharp, and the changes in his body can be seen through two layers of clothes.

Facing Ni Tang's scorching gaze, he had no choice but to nod, "It's just a fluke."

"Just a fluke?"

"Do you know that for those Taoist soldiers in this sect, if they want to reach the realm of first-level blood image, it will take at least several years, ten years, or even decades to slowly train their bodies and gradually figure it out?"

Ni Tang took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, his voice was full of expectation, and seemed to be a little worried, "Then what about Wufang Pagoda, how far have you cultivated?"

She only observed and smelled a blood phenomenon, but did not perceive the first pagoda.

Wei Tao's heart moved, and his thoughts turned.

Slowly said, "Uh, I've only just started to practice Wufang Buddha, and the more I practice backward, the more difficult it becomes, and I haven't made much progress."

According to his original plan, he was actually preparing to show the realm of the first Buddha.

It can be regarded as giving her a little return, in order to attract greater sponsorship and get more cultivation resources.

But seeing her emotional tone at this time, Wei Tao decided to hide his clumsiness for the time being and wait for a while before speaking.

"Have you started yet?"

Ni Xuan showed joy and nodded slowly, "It's not easy to get started in such a short time."

After a moment of silence, she asked again with concern, "Do you feel unwell?"

Wei Tao thought for a while, then stretched out his arms, "After entering the Wufang Buddha, I continued to practice deeper, and my muscles seemed to be unable to withstand the increasing force, and my skin began to tear."

"So I have to slow down the progress of my practice."

"That's what I want to remind you. Fortunately, you discovered it yourself and responded in time."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a wooden box from her body, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.

"This is the Juyuan Pill for strengthening the body, promoting blood circulation and nourishing health. You should eat up one pill a day before continuing to practice the five-direction pagoda."

"Also, the official order of the mountain gate has come down, and you will go down the mountain to garrison Qingfengguan in the near future.

After arriving in Luoshui City, I will find someone to contact you. When you break through the realm of the first Buddha, be sure to let me know as soon as possible. "

Wei Tao took the box, and suddenly he hesitated to speak, showing embarrassment.

"In front of me, don't hide anything, just say it."

Ni Huang frowned slightly, his voice turned cold, "Could it be that someone suppressed and bullied you in this other courtyard?"

Without waiting for Wei Tao's answer, she said indifferently, "Tell me who that person is, I'll go there and beat him up."

"People here are very nice, gentle, kind, and approachable. No one oppresses or bullies me."

Wei Tao didn't have a chance to speak until now.

There was a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

"Actually, what I want to say is, can Daozi give me more Heqiao Pill, Juyuan Pill, and other medicinal pills?"

"Don't get me wrong, Daozi, it's not because I'm greedy, but because I feel a lot of pressure to practice the five-direction pagoda, so I have to make full preparations in advance."

"How much more do you want?" Ni Tang asked.

"How much can Daozi have?" Wei Tao asked back.

He just heard the news that it was about to be released, so he also went all out.

The dough can be discarded for the time being, but the handful of wool before leaving must be plucked enough from Ni Daozi.

"I do still have some in my hand, but unfortunately the number is not too many."

Ni Xuan's eyes turned, and he fell into deep thought, "But you are right. Even if you have a special physique, you must make complete preparations in advance to practice exercises such as Wufang Buddha, so as to eliminate problems in the bud as much as possible."

"I'll go back now and collect some for you, trying to get enough of them before you go down the mountain.

Don't worry even if you can't get there, after all, Qingfeng Temple is not too far from the mountain gate, as long as I grab it...

Oh, what I said is that as long as you find a batch, I will send you a batch, which will definitely not affect your subsequent use. "

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left without stopping any further.

........................

ten days later.

noon.

Had a great farewell dinner.

Accompanied by Deacon Wen and Deacon Qi, Wei Tao slowly walked out of the gate of Qinglin Bieyuan.

He bowed and said goodbye to the two deacons.

Turning on his horse, he ran forward several hundred feet, and then suddenly looked back.

The Taoist temple gradually disappeared into the depths of the green mountains and green trees, and the magnificent building could no longer be seen.

From participating in Yuan Yi's selection, to becoming a guardian envoy to the outside world.

In just over a month, it was like having a bizarre dream.

Disciple of the outer sect, deacon of the other courtyard, son of Yuan Dao.

Faces flashed in front of my eyes, each leaving deep or shallow imprints.

Looking at the towering Qinglin Mountain for the last time, Wei Tao didn't stay any longer, and left with his horse and whip.

After half an hour.

Wei Tao let go of the rein, fed the horse a few handfuls of beans, and let it go to a nearby stream to drink.

I quietly looked at the fork in the left and right.

From then on, going south is the direction to Luoshui City.

If you turn north, you will return to Fucheng.

Without any hesitation, he headed straight north.

I plan to go home first, and then go to Qingfengguan in Luoshui City to take up my job.

Wei Tao got on his horse and was about to leave with his whip.

But it stopped without warning, and turned to look downstream of the creek.

The sky was a little gloomy.

Dark clouds blocked out the afternoon sun.

However, the stream has been flowing happily, hitting the large and small stones, making a crisp ding-dong sound.

It's like playing a cheerful movement.

Wei Tao took a deep breath of the misty air, and looked at the coir raincoat fishermen ten feet away.

The fisherman looked focused, as if he didn't notice the watching eyes not far away.

Suddenly when he lifted the fishing rod, there was nothing on the hook.

He didn't care, just smiled leisurely.

Still taking out a meat worm from the earthen jar beside him and hanging it on the hook, he flicked the fishing rod into the water again.

"Wait a moment, wait for me to catch this fish."

This person's voice is ethereal and melodious, very pleasant.

It was as if it sounded directly in Wei Tao's ear.

Swish!
The fishing line suddenly straightened, and a grass carp jumped out of the water and fell directly into the bamboo basket by the stream.

The coir raincoat fisherman got up and packed his fishing gear.

Taking a few steps forward lightly, he has already crossed a distance of ten feet and came to Wei Tao.

Wei Tao's clothes moved automatically without wind, and his body tensed up a little.

But at the next moment, when the fisherman spoke again, what he said surprised him.

"At your age, and you are practicing heretic methods, it is not easy to reach such a high level."

After a pause, the fisherman continued, "No wonder my nephew, Mufang, values ​​you so much, and he kept nagging in front of the old man more than once."

Wei Tao's thoughts turned, and he bowed slightly, "I don't know if it's Uncle Mu in person, but it's a little rude."

Deacon Mu smiled faintly, "Those who don't know don't blame it, not to mention that you are already the guardian deacon of Qingfengguan in Luoshui City, and you are on the same level as me, so how can you be rude?"

Wei Tao clasped his fists again, "In front of Uncle Mu, the younger generation can only be the brother of Brother Mu Fang, not the guardian deacon of the Taoist temple in the outer courtyard."

"You doll can talk."

Deacon Mu nodded, "Although my nephew has low aptitude and refuses to practice hard, he seldom makes mistakes in seeing people, so I will naturally pay more attention to brothers who can be recognized by Xiao Fang."

"In addition, you are quite favored by that person, and you have already stamped the label of being in the same vein as the old man..."

When Deacon Mu said this, he suddenly fell silent.

After a long silence, he continued, "I was entrusted by her, and there are some things that I need to explain to you in advance."

"Uncle Mu, please tell me."

Wei Tao nodded, making a gesture of listening attentively.

He was also a little strange, why did he go to this empty wilderness mountain instead of explaining the matter to another courtyard?

Deacon Mu raised the bamboo hat on top and looked far away at Qinglin Mountain hidden in the depths of the clouds.

"The mountain gate is very large and there are many people, but where there are people, there will be conflicts of interests and even more conflicts and disputes. This is a common thing in the world and it is unavoidable."

"It's like Xiao Wei, since you can be valued by noble people, I will personally pave the way for you to train.

Naturally, it is also possible that another noble person will be hostile and regard you as a stumbling block in the way forward, and will kick you away with a casual kick. "

"As for the other people in the mountain gate, some are in the middle of the game, and the master goes first.

Although some are outside the game, they are also very interested, waiting for the follow-up development.

Others are superior and don't care about it.

But for you who are at the center of the chess game, there is no choice to stay out of it. "

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wei Tao, "Do you understand what I said?"

Wei Tao's expression was calm and thoughtful.

Not long after, he suddenly smiled, "I see, thank you Uncle Mu for reminding me."

"I just don't know, who is that noble man who dislikes the younger generation?
The younger generation might as well stay away in the future and try not to touch that bad guy. "

"It's good that you understand, even though they are members of the Yuan family, they will not kill directly.

But even with various other methods, after you arrive at the Qingfeng Temple in Luoshui City, you must be careful and vigilant, and always pay attention to avoid falling into other people's traps. "

Deacon Mu slightly raised his hand and threw the bamboo basket into the water.

A grass carp poked its head and fled quickly.

He sighed softly, and continued, "As for who that person is, I can only tell you that this person has deep roots in the mountain gate, and he is not an easy person."

"But don't worry too much. Since you have already invested in her, if something really happens, as long as you are reasonable and not ashamed, with her usual temperament, she will naturally not let you be wronged for no reason."

Wei Tao nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, Uncle Mu, I'm flexible, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat."

Deacon Mu said, "It's good that you can think like this. I have seen many talented and talented young people before, but because they didn't know how to advance or retreat, they died early and lost their great future and destiny."

"So, when it's time to curl up, don't stretch out. If you insist on stretching out, you deserve your life.

But when you shouldn't be curled up, if anyone insists on holding you down and preventing you from stretching, you will kill them directly. "

Speaking of this, his tone suddenly changed, chilling Senhan, "If you can't be beaten to death, you will try your best to escape. As long as you find me or Ni Daozi, we will naturally support you."

Wei Tao asked, "Uncle Mu, if something happens to me, how should I judge whether I should curl up or stretch out?"

"You can do whatever you want with small things, but you don't need to judge big things."

Deacon Mu looked at the stream flowing, and his tone was somewhat meaningful.

"Naturally, Ni Daozi asked you to curl up, so you can only curl up, and if you ask you to stretch, you can stretch as much as you want."

Wei Tao was slightly taken aback, and his smile also faltered.

This sentence is said to be so, but it sounds inexplicably weird.

Let him not know how to proceed.

However, as far as he is concerned, how to judge big and small matters has his own clear standard.

After all, nothing matters except death.

So, as long as he hasn't actually been threatened with death.

Then everything is trivial, you only need to judge for yourself whether to curl up or stretch out, and you don't need to bother Daozi Ni Tang who is far away on Qinglin Mountain.

Deacon Mu left quietly.

Wei Tao continued to move towards Fucheng.

The next road is a little more vigilant and careful.

I have been thinking about the nobleman Yuanyi in my heart.

Two noblemen.

One of them is naturally Yuan Daozi Ni Tang.

As for the other one, the most likely one is Yuan Daozi.

That person's name seems to be Aoba.

Wei Tao rode his horse, his thoughts wandering.

It is really helpless to involve him in the matter between the two Taoists.

It can only be said that invisible brain supplements are the most deadly.

Even the high-ranking Taoists are just like ordinary people in certain things, anxious to get angry and add their heads.

Of course, the noble person mentioned by Deacon Mu may not be Aoba, but someone else.

The clues I have now are a bit weak, and I can't directly draw a conclusion.

There was a sound of hoofbeats, and the dust was flying.

In the outskirts of Fucheng, Wei Tao reined in beside a small forest.

He looked back, and suddenly sighed, "Everyone has been with me for so long, it's time to show your face."

Crashing, there was a sound of clothes from all around at the same time, and they quickly surrounded here from all directions.
