Chapter 156: Two Difficulties

Zhang Xiaohua was silent for a while.

I just want my second elder brother to join the Misty Sect, get rid of the blood-licking life of the Escort Bureau, and practice advanced martial arts by the way, and I have no other extravagant wishes. It's just a coincidence that he came under the family.

However, in the eyes of others, all these good things are just firewood for jealousy, which can only make people dizzy and reject this lucky and shallow villager from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua deeply felt that this human heart is really the most unpredictable thing in the world, even the Misty School, which is called the Holy Land in her mind, is hard to get rid of. I don't know if I pushed my second brother to the cusp of this storm, is it right or wrong?

A moment ago, he was still lively and joyful, but now, he was a little gloomy.

Fortune and misfortune depend on it, and the ancients never deceived them!

The careful Li Jinfeng had already noticed Zhang Xiaohua's strange movement, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiaohua, don't worry too much, after all, they don't know the secrets of it, so they won't make more guesses. It's not uncommon for the world to catch wind and shadows. See, you must learn to be calm. This is always the best touchstone for right and wrong. It can best temper people's character. After a lot of experience, you will naturally learn to be calm. A trivial matter is worth reading thousands of books. , if only in the pile of old papers, who can grow well?"

Zhang Xiaohua still forced herself to laugh, and said: "I know, Brother Li, I just feel a little uncomfortable. I did this for my second brother, and I can make people tell so much right and wrong. Captain He said that all the time, but he still doesn't know what to say behind his back?"

Li Jinfeng smiled and didn't try to persuade him any more. It's useless to talk about this kind of thing only by his own understanding. Zhang Xiaohua is only a teenager, so it's good to have such an idea. If he can penetrate people's hearts now and remain indifferent, then It's weird.

He Tianshu heard this, and laughed and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, you are thinking too much. They just say that the grapes are sour when they can't eat grapes. How can it be their turn to point fingers when it comes to matters involving big gang leaders? It's just that they have passed the addiction. That's all, I don't dare to say more, so don't worry."

As long as the bystanders are clear and the players are confused, this is probably the case. Zhang Xiaohua also knows this truth, but she still can't let it go.

Behind the archway is a huge square, facing a main entrance with carved beams and painted pillars, but the door is closed tightly. He Tianshu led the two of them, walked to the side door, and explained: "The main entrance is usually for the guild master or the guild leader. Only the distinguished guests can leave, and all the contacts in the gang usually go through the side doors."

Li Jinfeng nodded and said: "I have read these rules in the book. I thought they were outdated customs. Now that we are advancing with the times, we may not be able to see them. It is commendable that your gang still retains such an ancient style."

He Tianshu smiled and said: "Brother Li is a scholar, so he is naturally scholarly, and scolded Fang Qiu. Those who practice martial arts like us follow the old system and live in the ancient style. Such rules are not uncommon in Jianghu. If it takes a long time, Naturally know."

Li Jinfeng cupped his hands and said, "Be taught, be taught."

The two talked and talked, Zhang Xiaohua was absent-minded, the three of them walked for a while, and came to a lush place.

He Tianshu stopped walking and said: "This is the living place of the big gang leader and the elders' direct disciples. Where Zhang Xiaohu lives, we have to ask to know."

Just as he was speaking, a young man with a full moon face and an arrogant expression walked out from the door of a monastery.

He Tianshu hurried up, cupped his hands and said, "He Tianshu is in the lower pharmacy hall. He wants to come here to visit Zhang Xiaohu, the disciple Wen Wenhai just accepted, but he doesn't know where he lives? Could this brother tell you a thing or two?"

The man already had an expression of not being close to strangers, but after hearing He Tianshu's words, he frowned even more, as if he had seen a fly and reluctantly returned the gift, pointing impatiently to the left and said: "Go forward fifty steps, that There is a small tree in front of the door.

"

Without waiting for He Tianshu to thank him, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves, muttering in a low voice as he walked: "It's another group of snobs, can't you practice martial arts well? I always want to go sideways. It seems that I have to ask someone in charge to put up a sign over there. There is no reason for this In a few days, I have been a guide several times."

He Tianshu looked at the man's behavior, but he was also puzzled. He asked him the way in a well-behaved way, and he never lost his etiquette. Why is he so indifferent?

The three walked forward and saw a small tree at the gate of a yard.

Zhang Xiaohua hurried a few steps, stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, Zhang Xiaohu's voice came from the door: "Zhang Xiaohu is not here, he went to practice martial arts at the training ground."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, picked her ears, and shouted in amazement: "Second brother, I'm Xiaohua, I've heard your voice, how can you know the training ground?"

Immediately, there was also a surprised voice from inside, saying: "Haha, Xiaohua, wait a minute."

The door opened with a sound of "Zhila", and it was Zhang Xiaohu who poked his head out. He was very happy to see the three people in front of the door, so he hurriedly let them in, and then carefully looked outside to confirm that there was no one there. Close the courtyard door.

The three of He Tianshu stood beside Zhang Xiaohu, watching his series of strange actions, they were very surprised, Zhang Xiaohua even asked: "Second brother, what are you doing? How much money do you owe?"

Zhang Xiaohu turned around and smiled wryly: "Sit inside, and I'll talk about it in detail later."

This is a rather delicate courtyard. There is an open space in the corner, where weapons and stone locks and other martial arts equipment are placed. The layout of the courtyard is similar to that of the Huanxi Villa, with a stone table and stone benches. Now that the weather is mild, the four of them sat in the yard, Zhang Xiaohu poured tea for everyone, and then began to talk.

Zhang Xiaohua first asked impatiently: "Second brother, what's going on? Are you really in debt to others?"

Zhang Xiaohu glared at him and said, "When did you see your second brother owe someone money?"

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue, and said: "Then you were sneaking around just now, just like a fool in our village whose father owes money to someone."

Zhang Xiaohu smiled wryly, "I was also forced to do nothing."

He Tianshu asked: "Zhang Xiaohu, if you can worship Brother Wen, you are a direct disciple of the Ou Da Clan's main gang. Who can force you?"

Zhang Xiaohu said helplessly: "It's just because he is the direct disciple of the Great Clan Master that this is the case."

Seeing that everyone was surprised, Zhang Xiaohu took a sip of water, and then explained: "That day, I was accepted by the master in the meeting hall, and then I had a teacher's apprentice ceremony, so I was assigned to this small courtyard."

He Tianshu interjected and said, "Tsk tsk, there is really a difference in treatment. When I first started, it was a hut for several people to live in. When I advanced through meritorious service, when I reached adulthood, it was still a room for two people. You just got started. Living alone in a small courtyard is really a world of difference, no wonder everyone forced their heads to become direct disciples."

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Uncle He, don't laugh at me, I would rather live in a house with several people. Not long after I moved here, several people came to visit, I don't understand what's going on, I just warmly entertained them, but they didn’t say anything, they just chattered around, so I had to accompany them. But they didn’t sit for a while, and then someone came again. My small courtyard has never been interrupted all day long. After a long time, I realized that people's feelings are here to get close, and they want to build a good relationship with me, to see if I can give them some benefits. You said, they are not talking about chicken and duck? I can join Master's door, is it just a trust? I was blessed by Xiaohua, but I can’t tell them about it. They just thought I had some secret connections and they wanted to come to find out. Many people offered some jaw-dropping conditions, so I had no choice but to evade them, but the more I evaded them, the more they thought. The more I decide, the more entangled I will be."

When He Tianshu heard this, he couldn't help curling his lips. He is also a representative of the Misty sect, who believes that as long as he is good at martial arts, everything is everything. He is indifferent to the world, and only concentrates on practicing martial arts. Although he is successful in martial arts now, he has become someone who is not loved by his grandma and uncle. It was only then that he was sent to Huanxi Villa. Now that he heard other people's tricks, he only looked up, that is, he looked up.

Zhang Xiaohu went on to say: "So, on the second day, I saw that the flow of people was still there, so I pretended to go to Master's place to practice martial arts, and then I hid out. After everyone left, I came back secretly. No one was there when I opened the door. Someone knocked on the door urgently, and I was the cleaner, and they didn’t know me well anyway, so they couldn’t hear my voice, hehe.” A cunning look of a successful trick.

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua feel relieved, and said: "So it's like this. It seems that I'm not a disciple of the Misty Sect, so I'm right. If I have to face such a person every day, I will be bored to death."

He Tianshu curled his lips again, and said disdainfully: "You are going to join the Misty Sect, and you are also my disciple. If a ghost comes to you, I will let you be my master."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a "hehe" smile: "That's not enough, Captain He, your martial arts skills are quite good in the school, how can you get so far?"

He Tianshu let out a long breath and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable, and how can you know the world's sophistication?"

Immediately, he became lazy and ashamed.

Li Jinfeng comforted: "Captain He has a picture. Where there are people, there will be snobbery and sophistication. Without these things, wouldn't the world of mortals become a pure land of bliss?"

Zhang Xiaohu also smiled and said: "Young Master Li is right, Mr. He sees me like this, isn't he also troubled by such trivial matters, and can't hide?"

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said: "Second brother, in my heart, I always feel that the Misty Sect is a pure land, and the disciples of the Misty Sect are all captains, such as Wen Daxia and other experts, their hearts must be noble, I can hear what you said , There are also a lot of perfunctory tendencies in it, flattering people? It's really unexpected."

Li Jinfeng understood Zhang Xiaohua's mood very well, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua's mood is the same as when I first arrived at the academy. It was the first time I saw the teacher of the academy trading power and money with others, and I was also depressed. After a few days, I finally realized that the teacher is also a mortal, and mortals must have selfish desires, and it is normal to do some shady things."

Zhang Xiaohua also imitated He Tianshu, took a long breath, and said: "I finally understand what it means to get out of the mud and not be stained. If there is no mud, how can there be Gao Jie who is not stained?"

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaohua thought of something again, and asked, "By the way, second brother, we were at the archway just now, and we heard those guards talking about you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu smiled wryly as before, and said, "I know. When I go out on weekdays, I also hear others mention it. They don't know it's me, so naturally they don't have any scruples. It's not normal. Not only are many people wanting to speculate, but there are also many people who look down on me, a disciple who made it halfway, and think that I am only able to have such good luck because of the favor of others."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Second brother, I'm to blame for this matter, and I didn't discuss it with you beforehand. It's my fault that you are in such a dilemma now."

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a smile and said: "It's okay, Xiaohua, I know that you gave me such a good opportunity to practice martial arts for the sake of my second brother. I was so happy that I was so stupid? How could I think so much?" It’s too late for the second brother to thank you, how can I blame you? Not all people who look up at the starry sky are admiring the beauty of the night sky. Maybe some people are suffering from nosebleeds, so it’s better to be down-to-earth. Besides, the ancients said, Go your own way, let others talk. I go my own way of martial arts, who cares about other people's opinions? As long as I practice hard and achieve results, these rumors will naturally disappear."

He Tianshu clapped his hands and said: "Zhang Xiaohu, what you said is very good and you have great potential. No wonder Junior Brother Wen has taken a fancy to you. Uncle Master uses tea instead of wine to wish you a great success in Misty Sect."

So the four of them raised their teacups and drank them all in one gulp.

Putting down the teacup, Zhang Xiaohu said to Zhang Xiaohua mysteriously: "Xiaohua, you wait here, the second brother will bring you something nice."

After speaking, he walked into the room, and after a while, he took out a booklet, handed it to Zhang Xiaohua, and said, "Here, Xiaohua, this is the inner strength method I specially asked for from Master."

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked, and immediately stood up from the stone bench, and quickly waved her hands and said, "Second brother, I can't help it, I can't help it, haven't I already taken the "Worriless Heart Sutra" from the Cangshu Pavilion, I can't ask for your Misty Sect anymore. It’s something, it’s not for you to make a mistake.”

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Master has already told me everything about your "Worry-Free Heart Sutra". Ben? It is precisely because of this that I asked Master for help. In fact, it is not as you imagined, there are no mistakes to make. Yes, but in the Misty Sect, it is worthless, so you can take it with confidence, this is master's nod, I took it from his study."

Zhang Xiaohua stared at the thin cheat book, and still tentatively said: "Second brother, is it okay to take this "Reckless Bull Strength"?"

Zhang Xiaohu raised his hand and threw it into his arms, scolding with a smile: "It's okay if you say it's okay, look at you, you obviously want to take it, but you're afraid of burning your hands."

Zhang Xiaohua reached out to take it, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will make mistakes. I heard that the gang rules of your Misty Sect are very strict, not just any inner strength and mind can be cultivated by others."

He Tianshu was also envious for a while, and said: "The disciples of the direct line are different. Even if I want to see these exercises, I have to ask the elders for instructions. You can give them away casually. It's really unfair."

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Uncle He was joking, even if this exercise is for you to read, will you read it?"

He Tianshu stopped talking, just smiled.

Then, Zhang Xiaohu said to Zhang Xiaohua with concern: "Xiaohua, I heard from Master that this "Rang Niu Jin" is extremely easy, and anyone with a little understanding can learn it. Moreover, the inner power and mental method are not complicated, and the practice route is also easy. It's extremely simple, and generally there is no danger of going crazy, I remember that when you were learning boxing, you could never forget the boxing records, so this thing will not be too difficult for you."

"Do you have a photographic memory after reading boxing records?" He Tianshu was puzzled when he heard this, did he mean Zhang Xiaohua?

Zhang Xiaohu went on to say: "This book of inner strength and mind method is specially chosen by Master for you. It should be correct. However, you have never practiced inner strength and mind method, so you should be careful. If you don't understand something, ask Master Uncle He a lot." .”

Turning to He Tianshu, he said, "Please Master He take care of my little brother in the future."

He Tianshu smiled and said, "So many people in the faction are looking for you to form a clique, why do you need me?"

Then, he said: "I've heard of this "Rang Niu Jin", and it's very easy to learn. It seems that I haven't heard of anyone who goes crazy. However, Zhang Xiaohua, you can ask any questions at any time, but I can't I am the one who taught you this, after all, I am not practicing "Reckless Bull Strength""

Seeing that He Tianshu agreed, Zhang Xiaohu was very happy and thanked him repeatedly.

Afterwards, He Tianshu asked curiously: "Zhang Xiaohu, I don't know what kind of internal skills you want to practice?"

Zhang Xiaohu said embarrassingly: "Uncle He, you also know that I practiced internal skills in the Lotus Escort for a period of time. The master said that the internal skills were too rough and would not be good for the future, so he asked me to stop a long time ago. Fortunately, there is still time to practice. Short, it will not affect the new internal strength training, he hasn't figured out what internal strength he wants to teach me yet."

He Tianshu envied again, and said in his heart: "Your master gave away the inner strength of other sects so casually, how can your practice be fake? Maybe it's "Miaomiao Shengong"."

However, how could he say that, he just smiled and said: "That's a pity, you probably won't be able to participate in this year's martial arts competition."

"Martial Arts Competition?" Zhang Xiaohua, who was immersed in gaining inner strength, asked as if hearing something interesting.

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Uncle He is just joking again. This disciple has just joined the master's school. He hasn't learned half a point of fist, foot, internal strength and swordsmanship. How can he participate in this conference? Isn't that embarrassing for the master?"

Zhang Xiaohua, who was going to read the book "Reckless Cow Strength", immediately became interested, and kept the inner strength and mentality that she had never been able to obtain before, and was still on the stone table. She looked at the two of them curiously, and asked Said: "Quickly tell me, what is this martial arts competition?"
