Alienated Martial Arts

Chapter 45 Five Surnames
The noon sun shines on the body, giving people a warm feeling.

In this cold winter season near the mountains, it is a rare good weather.

Wei Tao stayed at home all morning.

Carrying blood and blood, practicing alone.

Then he had another simple lunch with his family, and then Zheng Suyun drove him back to the house to rest, resolutely not allowing him to participate in the cleaning and maintenance of the house in the afternoon.

Until this time, the Wei family has not really jumped out of the foggy feeling.

Whether it was Wei Rongxing, Zheng Suyun or Wei Hong, they would subconsciously bite their lips or pinch their thighs from time to time.

They didn't let out a long sigh of relief until they really experienced the pain, and an unstoppable smile appeared on their faces.

Such a spacious yard.

A magnificent house.

Even if it is a dream, I have never dared to have such an unrealistic dream before.

Perhaps it was because he had consumed too much energy practicing these days, Wei Tao didn't open his eyes until the sun was setting.

After a good night's sleep, the energy of the whole person was restored to fullness, and even the thinking became much clearer and quicker.

He remembered Tan Pan's invitation to go to the martial arts hall in the evening, so he cleaned up as quickly as possible, and returned to the martial arts hall before night fell.

Tan Pan is in the inner courtyard.

In the room where he lives, a hot pot has already been set up.

The charcoal in the brazier is burning vigorously, and the soup inside is boiling, exuding a strong spicy taste.

"Junior Brother Wei is here, sit down and have a few drinks with me."

Tan Pan beckoned Wei Tao to sit down,
Begin loading the pan with the thinly sliced ​​lamb.

On the shelf next to it, there are also various green vegetables that are rare to see in cold weather.

Wei Tao sat down on the bench opposite,

Naturally, he took over the job of picking up the meat.

Neither of them spoke, they just ate the dipping sauce.

It wasn't until there was a high stack of empty plates in front of him that he picked up the wine glass for the first time, touched it and drank it down in one gulp.

"I'm looking for Junior Brother Wei to come over today. The main reason is to go to the inner city garden for a banquet tomorrow. I will explain to you in advance some things that need attention."

Wei Tao put down his wine glass, "Brother, please tell me."

Tan Pan thought slowly and said. "Everyone knows that there are three families in the inner city,

But many people ignore it. There are five other smaller families in it.
Although the five families are attached to the wings of the three families,
But in terms of combat power, every family has a figure who is like a pinnacle of Dinghai, sitting in the town,

If they try their best, they will definitely not be inferior to the teacher. "

"Zhao, Wu, Qu, Hong, Sun, if you meet young people with these five surnames, be careful not to easily conflict with them."

"There are other points that need attention. We will talk while eating, and you should keep it in your heart carefully..."

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

A hot pot meal lasted until midnight.

Dozens of plates of cut meat and countless vegetables were eaten up by the two of them.

Tan Pan finished the last bowl of medicinal wine,
Touching the undulating belly, he sighed.

"Oh, I don't know why Jiaoyun always likes to eat hot pot. I just can't get used to this way of eating."

Wei Tao said, "When the weather is very cold, it's good to eat hot pot to warm up your body."

"The taste is good, and it's hot, but I don't like this way of eating without taking a few bites and waiting for a while."

Tan Pan put down the wine bowl and sighed again, "The key is that it can't get enough to eat, just like now, I'm hungry again just after we finish eating."

He was slightly stunned, but Wei Tao nodded in agreement, "What senior brother said makes sense."

The two cleaned up the mess together.

Mainly Wei Tao was working, and Tan Pan went into the back room and didn't know what he was tossing about.

Not long after, he came out with two beautifully wrapped gift boxes.

It exudes a faint fragrance of powder.

Even the strong smell of hot pot in the house cannot completely cover it up.

"When we go to the inner city, please remember to remind me to bring these two boxes to Jiaoyun."

"I see." While speaking, Wei Tao put all the dishes into a big wooden basin, and was about to send it to the kitchen.

"Just put it outside the door. I'll let the kitchen clean it up tomorrow."

Tan Pan stopped him, poured tea for the two of them, and suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Wei is not married yet, right?"

Wei Tao was slightly taken aback, "No, but I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry to get married."

"How old are you this year?" Tan Pan sipped hot tea and half-lyed on the armchair.

"New Year's Eve."

"You'll be nineteen next year, isn't that still young?"

Tan Pan frowned, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Seventh Junior Brother should also think about starting a family."

"Brother, I'm really not in a hurry."

Wei Tao was a little confused for a moment, wondering why the topic suddenly changed to this aspect.

So, it's not easy to say.

Without getting a response, Tan Pan didn't continue, but changed the topic without any turning point.

"Junior Brother Wei, if you and I are martial arts practitioners, if you want to strengthen your body and condense your qi and blood, in addition to practicing hard, various medicinal materials and meat are also indispensable."

Wei Tao was deeply convinced of this.

"What the senior brother said is very true. Since I really came into contact with the internal training methods of this sect,
My food intake is also getting bigger and bigger, and I feel that I can't bear the consumption after eating so much every meal. "

Tan Pan smiled faintly, "Junior Brother has only been a beginner for a short time, so he may not know that there are obvious differences between the medicinal materials and blood food that are provided to us warriors for cultivation."

Once it comes to matters of cultivation, Wei Tao immediately listens attentively, and he is no longer distracted like before.

"Junior Brother Wei, as the steward of the martial arts gym, should be very clear about the difference between the medicines used by the registered disciples in the outer court and those of us direct disciples."

Tan Pan pointed to the wine jars piled up by the wall, "Not only are the medicinal materials different in age, potency, and concentration, but most of the registered disciples are not qualified to enjoy the medicinal wine and medicinal diet that we often take on weekdays."

"Mostly..." Wei Tao savored these words silently.

"Since it is the vast majority but not all, there is naturally a certain theory."

Tan Pan seemed to see his doubts, so he explained, "Brother Wei, if you think about the ninth junior sister who just started not long ago, you can easily understand the joints."

Wei Tao was stunned, "Junior Sister Ninth is the granddaughter of the master of Blacksmith Alley. With her family's influence and financial resources, naturally she will not be short of various precious medicinal materials and food like other disciples from poor backgrounds."

"That's right, it's said that Jiu Shimei is at home, and the herbal diet that she is forced to take every day is even better than what we use.

Otherwise, with her slender body, how could she have reached the entry standard in such a short period of time? "

Tan Pan took a sip of tea and continued with a little drunkenness, "Poor culture and rich martial arts, this has been the case since ancient times. Junior brother, don't you think that our inner courtyard disciples have enough pork, beef and mutton available every day, and enough medicinal materials for external application and internal administration?" , it’s pretty good.”
