Chapter 156 2 Difficulties

Zhang Xiaohua was silent for a while after hearing this.

I just want my second brother to join the Piaomiao sect, get rid of the life of the escort agency, and practice advanced martial arts. I have no other extravagant desires. Wen Wenhai also has good intentions, and with the previous relationship, this I think it was just a coincidence that I was accepted as my disciple.

However, in the eyes of others, all these good things are just the fuel of jealousy, which can only make people dizzy and reject from the bottom of their hearts this shallow country boy who has great luck.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua deeply felt that this human heart is really the most unpredictable thing in the world. Even the Miao Miao Sect, which is called the Holy Land in her mind, cannot escape from the secular world. I don’t know if I am right or wrong in pushing my second brother to the forefront of this storm?

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

Blessings are the source of disasters, and the ancients did not deceive them!

The attentive Li Jinfeng had already noticed Zhang Xiaohua's strange behavior, smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Xiaohua, don't mind it too much. After all, they don't know the secrets of it, so they will inevitably not make more guesses. It's not uncommon in the world to make false claims. I see, you must learn to be calm. This is always the best touchstone of right and wrong, and the best way to temper people's character. The more you experience, the more 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'm just a little uncomfortable. I did this for my second brother, and I can actually let people say so many right and wrong. They are in front of Captain He said this, but he still doesn’t know what to say behind his back?”

Li Jinfeng smiled and stopped trying to persuade him. It would be useless to rely on his own understanding of this kind of thing. Zhang Xiaohua was only a young man, so it was good to have such an idea. If he could understand people's hearts now and remain indifferent, then It's weird.

After hearing this, He Tianshu chuckled and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, you are overthinking. They just say the grapes are sour because they can't eat them. How can it be their turn to point fingers in matters involving big gang leaders? It's just that they are addicted to it." That’s all, I don’t dare to say anything more, so don’t worry.”

It is generally true that those who are in the game are confused but those who are in the game are confused. 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 pillars, but that door is closed tightly. He Tianshu led the two of them towards the side door and explained: "This main entrance is usually occupied by the gang leader or the gang leader. Only VIPs can leave. On weekdays, people in the gang usually go through a few side doors nearby."

Li Jinfeng nodded and said: "I have read these rules in books a long time ago. I thought they were old customs. In today's era of advancing with the times, they may not be visible. It is commendable that your gang still retains such ancient customs."

He Tianshu smiled and said: "Brother Li is a scholar, so he naturally has a scholarly spirit and scolds Fang Qiu. We martial arts practitioners follow the old system and are content with the ancient customs. Such rules are not uncommon in the world. If time passes, Nature knows.”

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

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

He Tianshu stopped walking: "This is where the big gang leader and the disciples of the elders live. Where Zhang Xiaohu lives, you have to ask before you know."

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

He Tianshu hurriedly walked up, cupped his hands and said, "He Tianshu, who is in the Pharmacy Hall, wants to come here to visit Zhang Xiaohu, the disciple that Senior Brother Wen Wenhai has just accepted, but I don't know where he lives? Can this brother tell me something?"

The man had an expression of keeping away from strangers. After hearing He Tianshu's words, he frowned even more, as if he had seen a fly. He reluctantly returned the gift, pointed to the left impatiently and said: "Fifty steps forward, that one There is a small tree in front of the door.

"

Without waiting for He Tianshu to thank him, he walked away, muttering in a low voice: "They are a bunch of snobs again. Can't they practice martial arts well? I always want to go the wrong way. It seems that I have to ask the person in charge to put up a sign there. There is no reason for this. I served as a guide several times in just a few days.”

He Tianshu was puzzled when he saw the man's behavior. He asked him for directions in a decent manner and never lost his etiquette. Why was he so cold?

The three of them walked forward and saw a small tree at the entrance of a courtyard.

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

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

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, plucked his ears, and shouted in surprise: "Second brother, I am Xiaohua, I have heard your voice, how can you know about the training ground?"

Immediately, there was also a voice of surprise inside, saying: "Haha, little flower, wait a moment."

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

He Tianshu and the other three stood next to Zhang Xiaohu, looking at his series of strange actions. They were very puzzled. Zhang Xiaohua even asked: "Second brother, what are you doing? How much money do you owe me?"

Zhang Xiaohu turned around and said with a wry smile: "Sit inside. I'll talk about it in detail later."

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

Zhang Xiaohua first asked impatiently: "Second brother, what's going on? Do you really owe someone a debt?"

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 the way you were sneaking around just now was like the fool in our village whose father owed money to someone else."

Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said: "I am also forced to have no choice."

He Tianshu asked: "Zhang Xiaohu, if you can become a disciple of Senior Brother Wen, you are a direct disciple of the Ou Da Gang, who can force you?"

Zhang Xiaohu said helplessly: "It's just because he is the direct disciple of the big gang leader that this is the case."

Seeing everyone's expressions of surprise, Zhang Xiaohu took a sip of water and then explained: "That day, I was accepted by the master in the meeting hall, and then performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and was arranged to this small courtyard."

He Tianshu interrupted and said: "Tsk tsk, there is really a difference in treatment. When I first started, it was a small house with a few people. When I advanced to adulthood, it was still two people living in a room. You just started. Living alone in a small courtyard is really a world of difference, no wonder everyone is so obsessed with becoming direct disciples."

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Uncle He, please don't laugh at me. I would rather live in a house with a few people. Not long after I moved here, several people came to visit. I don't understand what happened. I greeted them warmly, but they didn’t say anything and just talked about it, so I had to accompany them. But they didn’t sit there for a while before someone else came. There were no people in my small courtyard all day long. After a lot of time, I realized that people are trying to get close to each other, and they want to build a good relationship with me to see if I can do them some good. Do you think they are just talking nonsense? I can join Master's disciples myself, and it's not a matter of trust. For Xiao Hua’s sake, I couldn’t tell them. They just thought I had some secret connections and wanted to find out. Many people offered some shocking conditions, so I had no choice but to dodge, but the more I tried to dodge, the more they thought they would. The more I decide, the more entangled I become."

He Tianshu couldn't help but curl his lips after hearing this. He is also a representative of this misty sect. He believes that as long as he is good at martial arts, everything is important. He is not sociable in worldly affairs and neglects to move around. He only concentrates on practicing martial arts. Although he is successful in martial arts now, he has become a person that his grandma does not love and his uncle does not love. , was sent to Huanxi Villa, and now after hearing other people's tactics, I can only look up to him, that is, I still have to look up to him.

Zhang Xiaohu continued: "So, on the second day, I saw that the crowd was still there, so I pretended to go to the master's place to practice martial arts, and then I hid out. After everyone had left, I came back secretly. I have been closed for the past few days. No one is there when you open the door. Someone knocks on the door and it’s urgent, but I’m just a cleaner. Anyway, they are not familiar with me and can’t hear my voice, hehe.” He looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

Zhang Xiaohua was relieved and said: "So that's it. It seems I'm right in not becoming a disciple of the Miao Miao Sect. It's annoying to me to face such people every day."

He Tianshu curled his lips again and said disdainfully: "You are going to join the Piaomiao Sect and you will be 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 true, Captain He, your martial arts skills are considered to be among the best in the sect, how can you get to such an extent?"

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

Then he became lazy and disheartened.

Li Jinfeng comforted him: "Captain He is so handsome. Wherever there are people, there will be snobbishness and worldliness. Without these things, wouldn't the mortal world become a pure land of bliss?"

Zhang Xiaohu also smiled and said: "Master Li is right. Seeing me like this, doesn't Master He also worry about such trivial matters and can't even hide away?"

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said: "Second brother, in my heart, I always feel that the Piaomiao Sect is a pure land. The disciples in the Piaomiao Sect are all captains, Wen Daxia and other masters. Their minds must be noble. But according to what you said , there are also a lot of perfunctory tendencies, sycophants? 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 college. It was the first time I saw the teachers of the college making power and money transactions with others, and I was also depressed. It took a few days, but later I realized that the teacher is also a mortal, a mortal must have selfish desires, and it is normal to do shady things."

Zhang Xiaohua also imitated He Tianshu, heaved a sigh of relief and said: "I finally understand what it means to emerge from the silt without being stained. If there is no silt, how can there be no purity that is not stained?"

Then, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to remember something again and asked, "By the way, second brother, we were at the archway just now, and we heard the guards talking about you."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu still smiled bitterly and said: "I know. I go out on weekdays and hear others mention it. They don't know that they are talking about me, so naturally they have no scruples. It seems that the status of the direct disciple of the leader of the gang is really It’s extraordinary. Not only are there many people who want to speculate, but there are also many people who look down on me, a disciple who came out halfway, and think that I am only able to achieve such a good fortune because of others.”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed and said, "Second brother, I am to blame for this matter. I didn't discuss it with you beforehand. It's really 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 you gave me such a good opportunity to practice martial arts for the sake of my second brother. Wasn't I so happy that I went crazy? How could I think so much? It’s too late for my second brother to thank you, so how can I blame you? People who look up at the stars are not all appreciating the beauty of the night sky. Maybe some people are suffering from nosebleeds, so it’s better to keep their feet on the ground. Besides, go your own way, Let others talk about it. I follow my own path to martial arts, who cares what others think? As long as I practice hard and achieve results, these rumors will naturally disappear."

He Tianshu stroked his palm and said: "Zhang Xiaohu, what you said is very good and you have great potential. No wonder Junior Brother Wen has taken a liking to you. I wish you success in the Piaomiao Sect with tea instead of wine."

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

Putting down the tea cup, Zhang Xiaohu said to Zhang Xiaohua mysteriously: "Xiaohua, wait here, the second brother will get you something good."

After saying that, he walked into the room. After a while, he took out a booklet, handed it to Zhang Xiaohua, and said: "Here, Xiaohua, this is the inner strength and mental method that I specially requested for you from the master."

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and immediately stood up from the stone bench, waving her hands and saying: "Second brother, I can't do it, I can't do it. I've already taken a copy of the "Worry-Free Heart Sutra" from the library. I can't ask for any more from your Miao Miao sect. It’s something, doesn’t this mean you put it in wrongly?”

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Master has told me everything about your "Worry-free Heart Sutra". Xiaohua, you are really amazing. There are so many internal skills and mental methods in Manshu Pavilion, why did you choose that one? Ben? It is precisely because of this that I asked Master for help. In fact, it is not as you think, there is no mistake to make. This "Rang Niu Jin" is just a superficial internal skill of another sect, although it cannot be seen from the outside. Yes, but in the Piaomiao Sect, it is worthless, so just take it with confidence, this is something the master nodded to, I got it from his study."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the thin secret book and asked tentatively: "Second brother, is this "Mang Niu Jin" really okay if you take it away?"

Zhang Xiaohu raised his hand and threw it into his arms, laughing and scolding: "It's okay if you say it's okay. Looking at you like that, 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 Miao Miao sect are very strict. Not just any inner skill or mental method can be practiced by others."

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

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Uncle He is joking, even if I let you see this technique, will you see it?"

He Tianshu stopped talking and smiled.

Then, Zhang Xiaohu said with concern to Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, I heard from the master that this "Wild Bull Strength" is extremely easy. Anyone with a little understanding can learn it. Moreover, the internal skills and mental methods are not complicated, and the exercise route is also simple. It’s extremely simple, and there is generally no danger of going too far. I remember that when you were learning boxing, you could never forget the boxing charts, so this won’t be too difficult for you.”

"You have a photographic memory of boxing scores?" He Tianshu was puzzled. Is this Zhang Xiaohua?

Zhang Xiaohu continued: "This book of inner strength and mental skills was specially selected by master for you. It should be correct. However, if you have never practiced inner strength and mental skills, you should be careful. If you don't understand anything, ask Master He. .”

He turned to He Tianshu and said, "Master Uncle He, please take care of my brother more in the future."

He Tianshu said with a smile: "So many people in the faction are looking for you to form gangs, why do you need to look for me?"

Then, he added: "I've heard of this "Mangniu Jin". It's very easy to learn. It seems that I haven't heard anyone talk about being obsessed with it. However, Zhang Xiaohua, if you have any questions, you can always ask, but I can't I’m teaching you this thing. After all, I’m not practicing "Mangniu Jin".

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

Later, He Tianshu asked curiously: "Zhang Xiaohu, I wonder what kind of internal skills and mental methods you want to practice?"

Zhang Xiaohu said awkwardly: "Uncle He, you also know that I practiced internal skills for a period in the Lotus Escort Agency. The master said that those internal skills were too rough and would be no good for the future, so he asked me to stop a long time ago. Fortunately, I still have time to practice. It's short and it won't affect my new internal skills training. He hasn't decided what internal skills he wants to teach me yet."

He Tianshu was envious again and thought to himself: "Your master gave away the internal skills and mental methods of other sects so casually. How can you still practice fake ones? Maybe it's the "Piao Miao Divine Skill"."

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

"Martial arts competition?" Zhang Xiaohua, who was immersed in acquiring inner skills, seemed to have heard something interesting and asked.

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Master He is joking again. This disciple has just joined the sect and has not learned half of his fists, kicks, internal skills and swordsmanship. How can he participate in this conference? Wouldn't that embarrass the master?"

Zhang Xiaohua, who was originally going to read the book "Mang Niu Jin", immediately became interested. She still thought about the internal skills and mental methods that she had never been able to obtain before. She looked at the two of them curiously and asked. Said: "Tell me, what is this martial arts competition?"
