Alienated Martial Arts

The sky is dim.

Wei Tao came out of the house.

Got some water to wash and clean up.

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

There was a soft squeaking sound.

The wooden door of the small courtyard was pushed open.

It's not even breakfast time yet, and someone comes over?

More importantly, he didn't even hear the sound of approaching footsteps.

Wei Tao turned around and saw that it was not the handyman delivering food, but the slender and tall figure that he was already very familiar with.

"Good morning Ni Daozi."

He closed his fist and bowed slightly.

Ni Xun looked hurriedly and said quickly, "I suddenly remembered a question about the Five Directions Pagoda, so I came here to remind you."

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

Then he dodged and came closer in an instant.

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

The tip of her nose kept quivering, sniffing around him.

"You actually cultivated a level 1 blood elephant?"

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

He asked with a complicated expression and some surprise.

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

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

Facing Ni Hao's burning gaze, he could only nod his head, "It's just a fluke."

"Just a fluke?"

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

Ni Hao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. His voice was full of expectation and seemed to be a little worried, "What about the Five Directions Pagoda? How far have you cultivated?"

She only observed and smelled the blood image of the first level, but did not perceive the first pagoda.

Wei Tao's heart moved, and his thoughts started to spin.

He slowly said, "Well, I have just started to practice Wufang Pagoda, and the further I practice, the more difficult it becomes, and I haven't made much progress."

According to his original plan, he was actually preparing to show off the realm of the First Pagoda.

It can be regarded as a little reward for her, so that she can attract greater sponsorship and get more training resources in the future.

But seeing the emotional tone she showed at this time, Wei Tao decided to hide his shame for the time being and wait for a while before talking.

"Have you already started?"

Ni Xun looked happy and nodded slowly, "It's not easy to get started in such a short time."

After a moment of silence, she asked with concern, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Wei Tao thought for a moment and stretched out his arm, "After entering the Five Directions Pagoda, I continued to practice deeper. My muscles seemed to be unable to withstand the increasing strength, and my skin had begun to tear."

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

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

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

"This is a Juyuan Pill that strengthens the body and promotes blood circulation and health. You should eat one pill every day before continuing the practice of the Five Directions Pagoda."

"Also, the official ultimatum from the mountain gate has been issued, and you will be going down the mountain to garrison at Qingfeng Temple 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 Pagoda, you must let me know as soon as possible. "

Wei Tao took the box and suddenly stopped talking, with a troubled expression on his face.

"Don't hide anything in front of me. Just say it."

Ni Hao frowned slightly and his voice turned cold, "Did anyone in this other courtyard suppress or bully you?"

Without waiting for Wei Tao's answer, she said indifferently, "Tell me who that person is, and I will go over and maim him."

"The people here are very nice, gentle, kind and approachable. No one bullies me."

Only then did Wei Tao have the chance to speak.

There was a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

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

"Don't get me wrong, Taozi. I'm not greedy, but I feel a lot of pressure to practice the Five Directions Pagoda, so I have to be fully prepared in advance."

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

"How many can Daozi have on hand?" Wei Tao asked.

He had just heard the news that he was going to be released, and he was ready to go all out.

You can give up the dough for the time being, but you must get enough of the wool from Ni Daozi before leaving.

"I do still have some on hand, but unfortunately the number is not large."

Ni Hao turned his eyes and fell into thinking, "But you are right. Even if you have a special physique, you must be fully prepared in advance to practice exercises such as Five Directions Pagoda and try to nip problems in the bud."

"I'm going back now to collect some for you, and try to get enough before you go down the mountain.

Even if I can't get you, don't worry. After all, Qingfeng Temple is not far from the mountain gate. As long as I grab it then...

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

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

……………………

Ten days later.

At noon.

Had a sumptuous farewell feast.

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

He bowed and said goodbye to the two deacons.

He got on his horse and ran forward for hundreds of feet, then suddenly looked back.

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

From participating in the selection of the Yuan Dynasty, to becoming an overseas guardian envoy.

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

Disciple of the outer sect, deacon of other courtyards, Yuan Daozi.

Faces flashed before my eyes, leaving deep or shallow marks on each one.

Taking one last look at the towering Qinglin Mountain, Wei Tao stopped staying and left with his horse whipped.

Half an hour later.

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

He quietly looked at the forked road that divided into left and right.

From here, heading south is the direction to Luoshui City.

If you turn north, you will return to Fucheng.

He didn't hesitate and headed 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 raised.

But he stopped without warning and turned his head to look downstream of the stream.

The sky was a little gloomy.

Dark clouds blocked the afternoon sun.

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

It's like playing a cheerful piece of music.

Wei Tao took a deep breath of the mist-filled air and looked at the coir raincoat fishermen fishing ten feet away.

The fisherman looked so focused that he seemed not to notice the observing eyes not far away.

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

But he didn't care, he just smiled.

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

"Wait a moment until I catch this fish."

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

It was like it sounded directly in Wei Tao's ears.

Uh-huh!

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 fisherman in coir raincoat stood up and packed up his fishing gear.

After gently taking a few steps forward, he had already crossed ten feet and arrived in front of Wei Tao.

Wei Tao's clothes moved automatically without any wind, and his body tightened little by little.

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

"Given your age and your practice of heretic methods, it is extremely difficult for you to reach such a high level."

After a pause, the fisherman continued, "No wonder my nephew Mufang thinks so highly of you and talked about it in front of me more than once."

Wei Tao's mind turned and he bowed slightly, "I don't know if it's Uncle Mu in front of me, but it's a bit rude."

Deacon Mu smiled faintly, "Don't be surprised if you don't know. What's more, you are already the deacon of Qingfengguan in Luoshui City. You are on the same level as me, so why should you be rude?"

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

"You doll can talk."

Deacon Mu nodded, "Although my nephew has low qualifications and is unwilling to work hard to practice, he rarely makes mistakes when looking at people. Therefore, I will naturally take a second look at the brothers who can be recognized by Xiaofang."

"In addition, you are favored by that person, and you have already marked yourself as being of the same origin as me..."

When Deaconess Mu said this, he suddenly became silent.

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

"Uncle Mu, please speak."

Wei Tao nodded and made a gesture of listening.

He was also a little strange, why did he go to this deserted and deserted mountain instead of saying that the matter was not in another courtyard?

Deacon Mu raised his bamboo hat and looked far away at Qinglin Mountain hidden deep in the clouds and mist.

"The mountain gate is very large, and there are many people. Wherever there are people, there are entangled interests, and there are even more conflicts and disputes. This is a common thing in the world and is unavoidable."

"Just like Xiao Wei, since you can be valued by noble people, they will personally pave the way for you and train you.

Naturally, you may also be hostile to another noble person, who will regard you as a stumbling block on the way forward and will be kicked away at any time. "

"As for the other people in the mountain gate, some are in the middle of the game, so they will go first.

Although some are on the outside, they are still interested and waiting for subsequent developments.

Others are aloof and don't care.

But for you at the center of the chess game, there is no option 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 and said, "I understand, thank you Uncle Mu for reminding me."

“I just don’t know, who is that noble person who dislikes this junior?

It would be better for the younger generation to stay away from him in the future and try not to touch that person's bad luck. "

"Just understand, even though they are members of the Yuan sect, they will not kill directly.

But even if you use various other methods, after you arrive at Qingfeng Temple in Luoshui City, you must be careful and vigilant at all times to avoid falling into the trap of others. "

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

A grass carp probed 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 is not an easy person."

"But don't worry too much. Now that you have joined her, if something happens, as long as you are reasonable and not embarrassed, with her usual temperament, she will naturally not let you suffer injustice for no reason."

Wei Tao nodded and suddenly smiled, "Uncle Mu, don't worry, I am a person who can bend and stretch. I am not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat."

Deacon Mu said, "It's good if you think so. In the past, I have seen many talented and talented young people die early and lose their bright future because they didn't know how to advance or retreat."

"So, when you should curl up, don't stretch. If you insist on stretching, you deserve to lose your life.

But when you shouldn't be curled up, if anyone insists on holding you down to prevent you from stretching, you will beat them to death. "

At this point, his tone suddenly changed, chilling Sen Han, "If you can't be beaten to death, then 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 really happens, how should I judge whether I should curl up or stretch out?"

"You can do whatever you want with the little things. As for the big things, you don't have to judge."

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

"Naturally, if Ni Daozi asks you to curl up, you can only curl up; if he asks you to stretch, you can stretch as much as you want."

Wei Tao was slightly startled, and his smile faltered.

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

He didn't know how to proceed.

But for him, he has his own clear standards for how to judge big and small things.

After all, there is nothing important except death.

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

Then everything is a trivial matter. You only need to judge by yourself whether to curl up or stretch out, and there is no need to trouble Daozi Ni Xun who is far away on Qinglin Mountain.

Deaconess Mu left quietly.

Wei Tao continued to move towards Fucheng.

On the next road, I was a little more vigilant and careful.

I have been thinking about the noble Yuan Daodao in my heart.

Two noble people.

One of them is naturally Yuan Daozi Ni Xun.

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

That person's name seems to be Qingye.

Wei Tao rode his horse, his thoughts flying.

It was really helpless to involve him in the matter between the two Daozi.

It can only be said that invisible imagination is the most deadly.

Even the superior Taoist disciples are just like ordinary people when it comes to certain things, they are anxious to get angry and get angry.

Of course, it is possible that the noble person that Deacon Mu mentioned was not Aoba, but someone else.

The clues we have now are a bit thin, and we can't draw a conclusion directly yet.

There was the sound of hooves and the dust was flying.

In the far outskirts of Fucheng, Wei Tao was reining in a small forest.

He looked back and suddenly sighed, "You guys have been following me for so long, it's time to show your face."

There was a crash, and the sound of clothes was heard all around at the same time, and people were quickly surrounding here from all directions.
