"Has anything happened in the martial arts hall these days?"
The mist inside the pharmacy was rising, filled with a strong bitter taste.
Wei Tao counted the time and sealed the fire.
He asked Qi Wuya who was standing aside with his eyes closed.
Her face was full of intoxication,
Breathing in the steam in the room.
The fishy smell that is unacceptable to most people seems to be a rare and delicious food here in Qiwuya.
"Ah...ah!?" She sat upright on the bench suddenly, "What is the seventh senior brother talking about?"
Wei Tao first drank a bowl of medicinal soup, wiped his mouth and asked again, "I've been away for the past few days, has anything happened in the martial arts hall?"
"Nothing happened. I just transport energy and blood and hone my martial arts skills every day. I'm exhausted." Qi Wuya complained with an unhappy look on his face.
"Where's the teacher? Did you say anything?"
"Teacher, what else can you say besides training people?" Qi Wuya yawned, looking bored, "Oh, the teacher went to the inner city yesterday and seemed to have been invited to discuss matters."
"Do you know what happened?" Wei Tao asked.
"It's because of the serious banditry outside the city. The three families are planning to unite all the forces in the outer city and organize a cleanup before the New Year. But from the look of the teacher, it doesn't seem to be a big deal."
Wei Tao nodded, "Are there any others?"
"No, no, I'm not an inquirer. How can I know so many things?"
Qi Wuya rubbed her eyes and yawned again, "I slept too late yesterday. If senior brother doesn't need help, I will just lean on the stove and sleep for a while."
"Go to sleep. I'll call you if something happens."
As soon as Qi Wuya closed her eyes, she was about to fall asleep.
After a moment, she suddenly sat up straight again, came closer to Wei Tao, and said mysteriously, "I just remembered that there is something really interesting. The seventh senior brother should be very interested."
"Oh? Tell me something interesting."
Wei Tao nodded indifferently and acted as if he was all ears.
"Senior Brother Seventh, you were not in the martial arts hall at that time, so you didn't see the distracted look of Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother.
It was really beyond my expectation. It was completely different from the aloof and keep-out attitude in front of other people.
They are exuding that kind of... from head to toe."
When Qi Wuya said this, she raised her thick arm and scratched her forehead, seemingly unable to think of any words to describe it.
Wei Tao put down the second empty medicine bowl with a helpless expression on his face.
He sighed lowly and said as calmly as possible, "Junior Sister Ninth, tell the important point, tell the important point."
"The important point, I've already said it."
Wei Tao closed his eyes and said speechlessly again, "Time, place, people, events, please explain the important things clearly."
"oh."
Qi Wuya fiddled with the corners of her clothes and thought for a while before speaking slowly.
"The time was the day before yesterday,
The location is a martial arts school,
The character is a beautiful sister who comes to visit,
What happened was that when the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother saw that sister, their eyes went straight.
Everyone was at a loss, not knowing how to show their courtesy..."
When she said this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she became interested again. She spoke very quickly with rich facial expressions and kept talking.
Wei Tao rubbed the porcelain bowl that was still warm, and after thinking silently for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Do you know the name of the woman who came to the martial arts school and what she looks like specifically?"
"That beautiful sister's surname is Bai, and her name is Bai Youyou, so is the seventh senior brother also interested in Miss Bai?"
Qi Wuya smiled with his eyes widened and an excited expression on his face.
"Seventh Senior Brother, you can definitely do it. Even if you can't, you must at least be better than Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother.
The two of them always have a cold face when they are in the martial arts studio, as if they are owed money..."
Wei Tao listened to every word, but his heart had already fallen into deep thought.
Her surname is Bai and her given name is Youyou. She is also a beautiful woman.
Basically, it can be determined that this person is the Bai Youyou who appeared in Meiyuan in the inner city and sat with the eldest son of the Huang family.
So, what is she doing in the martial arts gym?
Is it really just a simple visit?
Wei Tao took a sip of the bitter medicinal soup and suddenly interrupted Qi Wuya's various descriptions and asked, "Where's Senior Brother? Was he there at the time?"
"Of course the senior brother was present, and he and the teacher talked with the white girl in the small living room for a long time."
"Did you hear what they talked about?"
"I wasn't in the small living room with you, so how could I possibly know what was said?"
Qi Wuya was obviously not interested in this kind of topic, and the conversation changed immediately.
"Senior Brother Seventh, you are worrying too much. The eldest brother is already getting married soon.
We are still looking for the second young lady of the Huang family. She will not have any thoughts about this Miss Bai anymore, so don’t worry, seventh senior brother."
Wei Tao became more and more speechless, "What should I worry about? Don't talk nonsense. I have never seen Miss Bai at all, so how could I have any thoughts..."
"Senior Brother Seven, you are talking nonsense. Senior Brother has told me that you met Sister Bai when you went to the inner city last time. Not only did you talk to her face to face, she also gave you a gold leaf as a gift.
"
Qi Wuya murmured to herself, "Sure enough, what mother said is right, and there are few words of truth in men's mouths."
"Senior Brother Seventh, you don't need to explain. An explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the beginning of a lie."
Wei Tao simply turned his head and remained silent.
His thoughts had already drifted far away.
In Meiyuan in the inner city, Miss Bai gave a few Blood Jade Pills as a reward for the competition.
More importantly, several Blood Jade Pills were also found on the men of the Red Lantern Club Ding Altar Master.
If there was no relationship between the two, he wouldn't believe it.
But what the relationship is, the information currently available is incomplete and cannot be truly determined.
The only thing he could be sure of was that this woman had absolutely bad intentions.
It's best to stay away from her.
If you really can't escape, just beat her to death without stopping.
There was a soft squeaking sound.
The door of the pharmacy was pushed open.
"Tenth Junior Brother, you are here to get medicine again." Qi Wuya greeted warmly.
"Yeah." Yan Shi just nodded expressionlessly and went inside to get two packets of medicinal ingredients.
Wei Tao also opened his eyes and showed a gentle smile, "The tenth junior brother's cultivation is getting better and better day by day. It is really a blessing to our sect."
Snap.
Yan Shi stopped and there was no smile on his slightly childish face.
He looked at Wei Tao and said, "I have been practicing hard, at least unlike you, who was injured for not being good at studying, but still wasting time here without making any progress."
Although the heat was still rising, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.
Wei Tao narrowed his eyes little by little and met Yan Shi's eyes.
After a moment, he slowly laughed again, "Tenth Junior Brother is young and energetic, but he also has the energy of youth and vigour, which is not bad."
Yan Shi lowered his eyes, "That's not called vigor, but confidence."
After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping for a moment.
"Seventh Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother?"
Qi Wuya secretly observed and said cautiously, "Junior Brother Yan has always been like this. He is still young and often speaks without restraint..."
Wei Tao held down the armrest and slowly stood up from the wooden chair, "Junior Sister Ninth, there is no need to say more. We are all disciples of the teacher. I still have basic etiquette and politeness."
He put on his coat and went out, quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.
……………………
at dusk.
Burning White House was crowded with people.
In the cold winter, eating a roast chicken with chili pepper and drinking a few bowls of soju is definitely a rare luxury for people who have been working hard and freezing for a day.
In a private room upstairs facing the street.
Wei Tao and Tan Pan sat opposite each other.
The table was filled with all kinds of meats, and there were two jars of soju that had just been opened on the floor, exuding a rich aroma.
"Miss Bai Youyou studied under a famous sect. This time she will practice martial arts and discuss Taoism with her teacher, and have a good conversation. This can be regarded as an excellent opportunity for the development and growth of our sect."
Tan Pan finished the cup of soju, tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth, sighing with satisfaction.
Wei Tao refilled their wine glasses, "Senior brother, do you know which famous master Miss Bai studied under?"
"Seventh Junior Brother, have you ever heard of the sect?" Tan Pan asked.
"I have heard of it, but only occasionally."
“When the Zhou Dynasty was founded, Xuanwu Tao, which had shown great success in the founding war, was adopted as the state religion.
In addition, the names of six other major sects will be officially conferred, and a tour department will be set up to liaise with them.
This continued for more than two hundred years, and the world collectively referred to these seven sects as sects."
Wei Tao thought thoughtfully, "So, Miss Bai is a disciple of a certain sect?"
Tan Pan nodded, "I only know that she is a close disciple of a certain master of the Dingxuan Sect. As for the more specific information, we cannot know it."
The two of them ate and drank for a while, discussed boxing practice, and chatted about anecdotes from the market, each feeling a little tipsy.
After having another drink, Wei Tao asked, "Senior Brother, have you visualized the Red Line Secret Record of our sect?"
"Secret Records of the Red Line..."
Tan Pan was silent for a moment, and sighed with a complicated expression, "I looked at it, but I was still confused and couldn't find the key to breaking through."
Wei Tao sighed.
"Even senior brother can't understand it thoroughly. With mediocre qualifications, even if I break through to the blood coagulation level in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it even more. I'll be wasting my time until my energy and blood begin to decline, and I won't be able to reach the highest realm of our sect.
"
Tan Pan drank and ate meat in silence. After a while, he suddenly said, "Junior Brother Wei's concerns are indeed justified."
He frowned in thought and said to himself, "Although it is difficult for me to open the door and take in the wonderful scenery of the red line realm,
But every time I visualize against the Red Line Secret Record, I can vaguely feel that the images drawn above have some mysterious and mysterious connection with the circulation route of our qi and blood..."
"Then, what if the other direct disciples can be exposed to the visualization catalog before blood coagulation is completed?"
"Is it possible to improve their cultivation progress?"
Wei Tao's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, then he looked up at Tan Pan, who was lost in thought, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.
But his anticipation only lasted a few seconds.
Tan Pan shook his head, "This idea won't work. The Red Line Secret Record is the most precious treasure of our sect. It is impossible for a teacher to just take it out for disciples to observe and learn.
Only those who practice to the perfection of coagulation and are regarded by the teacher as inheritors of the mantle will be allowed to observe and comprehend."
