Alienated Martial Arts

Chapter 87 Choice
late at night.

Cangyuan Inner City, Huang Family Courtyard.

Still in that quiet courtyard.

The grandmother of the Huang family was sitting by the stove, holding a book of miscellaneous notes in her hand and reading slowly.

Suddenly, she frowned slightly, turned her head and looked out the door.

A small creak.

A plain embroidered shoe gently stepped into the door.

Immediately afterwards, her eyes blurred.

On the wooden bench in front of him, a slender figure quietly appeared.

This is a woman in her thirties who looks graceful and elegant.

"Sister Ruoyun, your life seems to be going well."

The woman smiled slightly and looked around the room.

The grandmother of the Huang family didn't come back to her senses until this time, and she didn't realize that her back was soaked in cold sweat.

"I'm really old and dim-sighted, I didn't see that it was Sister Gongyuan who came in person."

She hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully, "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so radiant, almost no different from back then."

"You and I made different choices back then, and the paths we took were even more different, but we can't say which one is better and which one is worse."

The woman sighed softly, picked up the miscellaneous journal from the table and flipped through it casually.

After a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I just came here this time to remind you of one thing, and I don't intend to kill you."

"Please tell me." The grandmother of the Huang family was cautious and accompanied her.

Like a maid, waiting for orders from her own lady.

The woman sighed softly and spoke slowly.

Listening to her narration, the grandmother of the Huang family's complexion changed again and again, and finally she lost all blood, and her body trembled slightly.

"Okay, that's all I want to say, and for your father's sake, I have pointed out a way for the Huang family.
What you do next depends on your own choices..."

The lingering sound lingered, and the graceful and elegant figure had disappeared from the room.

Only the grandmother of the Huang family was left with a gloomy and dignified expression, and she remained silent for a long time.

early morning.

Wei Tao opened the door of his house and walked into the long street shrouded in frost and mist.

I kept recalling the learning content of the past few days in my mind.

In addition to red line boxing and crossing mountain kick, he also included golden needle acupuncture and stimulating qi and blood into the scope of learning.

A needle pierced through, and the boys in the Qingshan Club complained endlessly. When they saw him, they fought with each other, almost wanting to leave first.

After seeing through others, let's see through ourselves.

Just to accurately find the circulation channels of qi and blood, countless golden needles were received on the arms and legs, and blood was dripping every night, and I couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Passing by the shop where he usually eats breakfast, Wei Tao restrained his thoughts, bought a stack of meatloaf, and walked towards the martial arts hall while eating.

Pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, and the number has decreased a lot compared to before.

But there are more city defense troops in solid clothes,
Patrols in all major neighborhoods have been stepped up.

The whole outer city exudes a dull and depressing atmosphere,

It was in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the past.

He tightened his fur coat and quickened his pace.

Passing by an intersection, many ragged beggars huddled together to resist the bone-chilling cold.

The few people on the outermost side were motionless, perhaps frozen to death.

Not long after, two women in white robes came out from an alley.

They each carried two buckets of white rice and put them on the side of the road.

The group of beggars rushed forward to fight for it immediately, and the sounds of beating, cursing and screaming became one piece.

Bang!
The middle-aged man who snatched the most ferociously was kicked away by the woman, rolled on the ground several times, and lay there motionless.

"Whatever to grab, whoever dares to grab, he will end up."

The white-robed woman said coldly, her eyes gliding over the faces, "After eating, everyone will follow me, only those who take refuge under the throne of the goddess can enjoy the food and clothes."

Everyone kowtowed one after another, shouting out their gratitude.

Wei Tao stopped in his tracks and stopped to observe.

The woman in white robe turned her head expressionlessly, and exchanged a glance with Wei Tao.

Her eyes were cold, with a bit of hostility and scrutiny.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

The woman shuddered and subconsciously looked away.

Xu Shi felt offended, she immediately stared back, only to find that the place was empty and Wei Tao had long since disappeared.

The two barrels of rice were quickly emptied.

Regardless of whether they had eaten or not, they all lined up neatly in two rows, followed the white-robed woman into the alley, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the thick fog.

I could only vaguely see two red lights floating around, like blood dripping on a white cloth.

When Wei Tao came to the martial arts hall, he quickly forgot about the morning's affairs, and began to concentrate on moving blood and practicing moves.

It was Tan Pan who practiced against him today.

Two figures tossed and turned in a corner of the inner courtyard, making the sound of fists and palms clashing from time to time.

After a while, Tan Pan jumped out of the battle circle with a backward leap.

He looked at Wei Tao, who was moving his body a few steps away, with a strange expression on his face.

"Today's sparring with Junior Brother Wei gave me a weird feeling I've never had before."

Tan Pan put on his coat, thought about it and said slowly, "How should I put it, Junior Brother Wei feels like a swimming fish to me, it's so slippery.
Not only can I avoid my attack in time every time, but also often appear in a position that makes me very uncomfortable,
This erratic pace and movement, coupled with the strength of the hammer, even I felt a lot of pressure. "

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something.

"The footwork of the seventh junior brother seems to me to be somewhat similar to that of the iron leg school, but it is not the same."

"Senior brother's eyes are like torches, and he can see it at a glance."

Wei Tao had already thought up his speech, and upon hearing the words, he explained, "That day the Iron Legs sent Chen Chengshan to compete with the senior brother. I saw that this person's movements were unpredictable, so I thought about integrating it into my own practice."

"Junior brother's idea is very good, but there is one thing that needs attention."

Tan Pan corrected his tone and said with a solemn expression, "You can learn the movement steps of other sects,
But you must remember, don't try to transfer blood by yourself,

There is no suitable prescription and practice method, and there is no guidance from someone who has experienced it.

Practicing blindly by yourself will cause big problems. "

Wei Tao said, "Brother, don't worry, I know this."

"And..." Tan Pan added, "Even if the above conditions are met, it is best not to practice other martial arts, especially kung fu other than boxing, before you really step into the red line realm."

Wei Tao nodded, "Brother told me before that the practice of blood coagulation level is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I have average aptitude and talent, and I will never make the mistake of chewing more than I can chew."

After a morning of practice, Master Zhou called all his direct disciples to the small cafeteria to gather.

The meals and staple food were already set on the table, but no one moved their chopsticks, they were all waiting for the teacher's instructions.

"Xiao Pan, tell me." Master Zhou took a sip of tea.

"Yes, teacher." Tan Pan nodded.

He cleared his throat, "Just received the news from the inner city this morning, we will set off in the next few days, and together with other gangs in the outer city, we will start to clean up the bandits around Cangyuan City."

There was no sound in the small cafeteria, and everyone was listening quietly.

"This door is responsible for the place here."

Tan Pan opened a map drawn on animal skins, and circled a small area on it with charcoal.

"In addition to us, there is also a team of servants under Mr. Hu's command, led by his adopted daughter Hu Qingfeng,
At that time, how the two parties will cooperate specifically, whether to join together or fight independently, will be discussed after meeting. "

Tan Pan looked around for a week, "This time out of the city to suppress the bandits, the teacher, me, and the seventh junior brother are walking with the registered disciples of the outer court.

Third Junior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother, your families should have received corresponding notices. The teacher has communicated with Chief Bodyguard Zheng and Master Suo Fang, so you should each follow your own team. "

Speaking of this, he showed a smile, "Of course, the Hongxianmen, Changlefang, and Fushun Escorts are all connected, and the areas we are responsible for are not too far away. It will be convenient and quick to support and take care of each other at that time." .”

Yan Shi was sitting in the corner, drinking tea in one gulp, with a look of resentment on his face.

"What about me? I didn't seem to hear my name just now."

Suddenly, a slightly shy voice sounded.

Tan Pan turned his head and looked, "Oh, Jiu Shimei, you are on vacation. Before we come back, stay at home and rest."

Coming out of the martial arts hall, Wei Tao went directly to the stronghold of the Qinghehui.

"Mr. just said last time that he might go out with the team to suppress the bandits. I didn't expect to actually start so soon."

Shang Bian frowned, couldn't even sit still, and began to walk back and forth in the room.

"Sir, you must remember that this kind of large-scale chaotic battle is completely different from the fighting between warriors. Any unexpected dangerous situation may occur, so you must be fully prepared. There is only one purpose, and that is to let yourself come back alive .”

He walked faster and faster, and kept emphasizing in his mouth.

"Whether the enemy is a martial artist who has internally cultivated Qi and blood, or a rioter who doesn't know kung fu, sir, you must not be careless in the slightest;

Even children, women, and the elderly cannot relax their vigilance against them, and must not be soft when it is time to kill;
Danger often comes from inconspicuous details, often just a negligence, and a heavy price will be paid;

Pay attention to maintaining your physical strength, and never waste more strength on that person if you can kill him with one move;
Also, don't show off your bravery for a while, and run when you see the situation is not good, so as not to let yourself be surrounded..."

Wei Tao sat on the chair, took a medicinal bath to remove the blood, and listened silently.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and nodded slowly, "I have written down what Master Shang said."

Shang Bian wiped the sweat off his forehead, and let out a long breath of foul air.

"There are three major organizations joining forces, and all the big forces in the outer city are participating at the same time, just to clear up some bandits, and the situations I mentioned should not happen.

But my husband also said that everything must be considered for the worst, so you must make sufficient preparations. Even if you just go out of the city to catch a rabbit, you must be fully armed and have all the food and medicine ready! "

"Master Shang's words are very true. Everything can be done if it is forewarned, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. It is not a bad thing to think of difficulties first."

While talking, Shi Huishou hurried over.

Wei Tao didn't waste time, and cut straight to the point, "After I left the city, the Qinghe Society hid and lurked. Don't think that the power of the outer city gangs is empty, so you want to take a bite secretly."

"Don't worry, son, we know this."

"Also, my family didn't know that I went out of the city to suppress the bandits. In addition to the Qingshan Society's guards around, you also sent some quick-witted brothers to keep an eye on the places where they work."

Speaking of this, Wei Tao raised his head and stared into Shi Huishou's eyes, "If any critical situation arises, we must protect their safety at all costs."
