In the afternoon, the fifth senior brother stood in the courtyard practicing swords. For a senior disciple of his level, except for the morning martial arts practice with a few senior brothers, the rest of the time was at his own disposal.
He can be regarded as a relatively diligent disciple, as long as the master does not seek him, he will stay in the courtyard to practice swordsmanship. After all, to inherit the position of suzerain, he also needs to challenge the five elders.
"Fifth Senior Brother! Fifth Senior Brother!" A disciple walked in hastily. This disciple was promoted to an inner room disciple after the assessment of the New Disciple Academy. He has not yet joined the ranks of senior disciples, but he also has a wink, knowing that Fifth Senior Brother is the future The suzerain is the best candidate, so he is especially ingratiating to the fifth senior brother.
The fifth senior brother cut off the flower buds on the branch with a sword, and Meifeng said sternly: "What's the matter?"
The disciple admired the superb swordsmanship of the Fifth Senior Brother in his heart, and didn't know when he would reach the realm of the Fifth Senior Brother. After sighing, he remembered the business and whispered: "Fifth Senior Brother, I found out that the woman invited a master!"
"Master?" Fifth Senior Brother swung his sword again, and the sword energy made the leaves rustle.
The disciple stared straight into his eyes, and almost forgot to answer, but fortunately he came to his senses and said, "Yes, I practiced this morning, and I saw that woman going in the direction of the lake. I was puzzled, so I quietly followed her. I saw Someone seems to be teaching her martial arts. Fifth senior brother, do you think she hired a master from somewhere, and wants to learn some unique skills so that she can deal with the five elders?"
The fifth senior brother smiled sarcastically: "A person who dare not fight, what's the use of sharpening his gun before the battle? I think she is just an idiot. She was lucky to win it from the master in the capital earlier. After getting the token, she will have nothing to do with the five elders this time. That is to say, my senior brother spoils her and finds someone to accompany her. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Then... the fifth senior brother means... don't leave her alone? Let her practice as she likes?" the disciple asked.
The fifth brother sneered and said, "Not only will I not be a hindrance, but I will also help her. Go and tell her what place, weapon, or medicinal material you need to borrow. Just come to me. As long as I can do it, I will not be stingy. "
The disciple went away in a daze.
At this time, Qiao Wei had just regained a bit of strength, got up from the ground, and leaned on a big tree to eat fruit. Hearing what this disciple said, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "I heard it right? Your senior brother actually wants to provide me with convenient?"
The disciple said: "Yes, senior brother said, no matter what you need, whether it's a venue, weapons, even medicinal materials, as long as he can get it, he will give it to you without hesitation."
Qiao Wei looked him up and down, and asked, "Has your brother's brain been kicked by a donkey?"
The disciple was suddenly a little angry: "Our senior brother has good intentions, you don't want to forget it, and still insult him? Okay, I will report to the fifth senior brother right now, saying that you don't want him to meddle in his business."
"Come back!" Qiao Wei moved her eyes and stopped him.
The disciple turned around angrily, and looked at Qiao Wei like a fighting cock.
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "Since your five senior brothers are so kind, I am too embarrassed to refuse. I am doing forced training recently. It is easy to get injured. I don't want weapons or anything. I will send you to the Suxin sect." Waiting for ginseng, caterpillar fungus, snow lotus, bird's nest, deer antler, etc., give me a catty each!"
The disciple stomped his feet angrily: "You you you you...you are shameless!"
"Didn't your brother give me what I wanted? Could it be that he was just talking empty words? Then go back and ask him, what can he give me? Don't ask me to put forward conditions!" Qiao Wei As he said, he rolled his eyes, "Stingy."
The disciple went to the fifth senior brother's yard, and told the fifth senior brother Qiao Wei's words with embellishments. The fifth senior brother should be angry, but as long as he thought that Qiao Wei would be beaten to death by several elders soon, he felt that he would give her a gift in advance. A little funeral would be nice too.
What Qiao Wei wanted arrived soon, but before Qiao Wei could be happy, Master Huo dragged her to the other side of Houhu Lake, where there was a huge deep pit, oval in shape, like a buried in the ground. The huge egg is just cut in half by the ground. The inner wall of the pit is covered with white marble, which is smooth and delicate. When the sun shines, it reflects a circle... a very strange light.
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin puzzledly: "There is still such a place in Suxinzong. It used to be a bathing pool, right? Mr. Huo, why did you bring me here?"
Master Huo stretched out his hand, pressed her shoulder, and pushed her down!
"ah-"
Boom!
Joe's gang leader fell firmly into the bottom of the pit.
Mother, my own mother, are you sure Master Huo is here to help me, not to punish me
When she got to the bottom of the pit, Qiao Wei found out what the strange layer of light was all about. Every piece of white marble in the pool had been waxed, so she stood up and fell again. She looked blankly at the top of her head and saw the sun On the splendid ground, one, two, three, four small round heads protruded, all of them looked at her with wide and curious eyes.
Qiao Wei narrowed her eyes dangerously, you little heartless people just watched me being pushed down, wait for me to go up, and see how I deal with you!
Master Huo's figure also came into Qiao Wei's eyes: "Climb up in the time of a stick of incense."
How to climb so slippery
Qiao Wei squatted down to untie the sandbags tied to her legs.
Master Huo popped a stone and opened Qiao Wei's hand.
Qiao Wei was in pain, shook her hands, and looked at Master Huo in puzzlement, Master Huo said: "Don't understand."
If you don't understand, you don't understand!
Isn't it just a pit more than three meters deep? This helper can climb up after a little help!
It's a pity that the bottom of the pit is very narrow, and there's not much room for a run-up. Qiao Wei stuck herself against the wall of the pool and ran towards the opposite side with all her strength. Before taking two steps, she slammed into the pool on the wall!
Qiao Wei clung to the wall of the pool like an octopus, and then slipped slipperily down to the bottom of the pool.
Wang Shu lay on the grass, resting his cheeks with both hands, opened his eyes wide, and looked at his mother: "Mother, please come on."
Qiao Wei: Why don't you throw this chubby down too
once!
twice!
three times!
…
Qiao Wei's heart was broken from climbing, and she lay powerlessly on the wall of the pool: "Hurry up and pull me up, I won't climb anymore..."
Wang Shu spread his hands innocently: "But Tai Shigong said, you can't pull Niangqin up, you have to do it yourself!"
Qiao Wei was aggrieved and said, "Am I your mother, or is he your mother? Who do you listen to?"
Wang Shu tilted his head and said: "But last night, it was mother who told us that we must listen to Grand Master!"
Am I wrong
woo woo...
"Pull me up, I want to drink water, people will die of thirst if they don't drink water." Qiao Wei said expressionlessly.
A small basket slowly swayed down and landed in front of Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei looked at the water bag in the basket, frowned, raised her eyes to look at the top of her head, and saw Shu Zheng holding the other end of the rope, smiling. Looking at herself anxiously: "Mother, drink more."
soy Mujer!
Qiao Wei took the water bag angrily, and took a few sips indiscriminately: "I don't want to drink water anymore, I want to eat!"
Wang Shu hurriedly said: "Mother, wait, I will send it down for you."
Qiao Wei pushed away the basket in front of her in disgust: "What can you give me in this crappy little basket? I want to eat roast goose, braised chicken, lamb chops, pig's trotters, and shiitake mushrooms..."
Halfway through the conversation, a huge food box was put down by Wang Shu. The food box has five layers in total, and each layer has four dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, everything you expect.
Qiao Wei clenched her fist, Xiaopang smashed it, you will regret it for treating your mother like this!
…
Qiao Wei opened the food box, took out the dishes, and ate them with big mouthfuls.
"Ah - help!"
It's Wang Shu's voice!
Qiao Wei's eyebrows twitched, she stood up abruptly, inserted her chopsticks into the pool wall, stepped on the food box with her toes, and leaped, kicking her feet on the smooth pool wall and the fragile wooden chopsticks. on the ground.
"Wang Shu!"
She ran towards the small figure lying on the ground as if unable to move.
Wang Shu turned his head cautiously, revealed the little poisonous snake in his hand, and said pitifully, "I accidentally stepped on it."
Qiao Wei frowned: "You stepped on it, why are you calling for help? It's the one calling!"
Wang Shu said seriously: "It won't, I yelled for it."
This little brat scared her to death!
Wang Shu blinked his eyes and said, "Mother, are you here? How did you come up?"
Qiao Wei didn't know how she came up, her mind went blank at that moment, and she reacted almost by instinct.
Master Huo came over.
Qiao Wei looked at him with a smile: "Master Huo, I'm here! I came up by myself!"
Master Huo nodded, patted her on the shoulder, and pushed her down again...
Qiao Wei: "..."
…
It was twelve days before Qiao Wei was able to climb up from the waxed pool without the aid of anything. After all, she was in good health. If someone else was tossed about like this and stopped cooking early, she could still lean on the big tree Take a breath, and then there is another hero.
Qiao Wei wiped off her sweat and said, "Master Huo, we've only practiced these two for so many days, don't you want to practice something else? For example, the Huo family footwork you mentioned earlier?"
Huo Shigong said: "There is one last thing left, after you practice, the footwork is in your heart."
Qiao Wei covered her heart, feeling a chill on her forehead.
Huo Shigong brought Qiao Wei into the woods in the back lake. The woods looked old. The trees were all very tall, and the branches and leaves were intertwined, like an impenetrable net, ninety percent of the sunlight was filtered out. , The rest of the photos are taken, and there is no warmth left.
In front of a big sycamore tree, Mr. Huo stopped, took out two strings from his bag, tied one end to Qiao Wei's leg, and the other end to the tree body.
"What is this for?" Qiao Wei asked puzzled.
Master Huo took out a bottle from his arms and said, "There is a bee in it, you catch it."
"Catch bees." Qiao Wei rubbed her chin, "Do you want to catch the bees alive or dead?"
"Anything is fine." Huo Shigong said.
It would be much easier if you can do it. If you don't need to be afraid of strength, people's aim will often be much stronger, and she has checked visually. The two thin ropes are each three meters long. As long as the bees don't fly beyond this distance, she will There is a 90% chance of catching it.
It's just that after being tortured by this master for a long time, she has been tortured out of a psychological shadow as big as the Pacific Ocean. She always feels that this matter is not so simple, and there must be a pit waiting for her to jump into.
"Are you ready?" Master Huo asked.
"Wait." Carefully sailing for thousands of years, Qiao Wei untied the purse at her waist, dumped the contents into her bosom, and opened the mouth of the purse to the maximum, "Okay."
Master Huo went to uncork the bottle.
"Wait!" Qiao Wei stopped him again, "Is it really just catching a bee?"
Huo Shigong emphasized: "It is to catch this bee."
Qiao Wei said: "Understood, if it flies out of the bottle, I have to catch it right away. Is there a time limit?"
"No."
But even if you don't, don't get too excited.
Huo Shigong's eyes fell on Qiao Wei's face, Qiao Wei also looked at Huo Shigong innocently, and where Qiao Wei couldn't see, there was a big and heavy hornet's nest hanging on the branch of this plane tree It is not difficult to catch a bee, but it is very difficult to catch a bee in a swarm of wasps. You may not even see the shadow of the target, and you will be stung by the swarm of ferocious wasps.
Huo Shigong's thumb stuck to the cork, and he took a leaf in his other hand. Later, he will use force at the same time, and at the same time, he will use lightness kung fu to fly out.
Three, two, one.
call out! Bar!
The leaves flew up, the bottle cork fell off, Master Huo performed lightness kung fu, and jumped up!
His sleeve robe was blown by the wind, his black hair was blown by the wind, he was like an eagle soaring high!
Just when he was about to fly out of the woods, with a click, the long sword got stuck again, and the hornet's nest that was shaken by him with the leaves was hanging in front of him, and the hornets emerged from the nest one by one. Face.
Master Huo: "..."
