Just as Qin Hong was telling Wang Li about the situation at the mountain gate, two figures suddenly fell out of thin air in the open space in the inner courtyard of the thatched cottage on the other side of the hillside.
One is tall and the other is short. One of them is about forty years old, holding a cane in his hand, with a gentle face, black hair and long beard. He is wearing a blue gown and is dressed as a scribe. The other is a girl holding a cane in his hand. A sugar painting is none other than Lin Baoer, whom Wang Li met in the afternoon.
"Senior Brother Wu Jing, Qiongxiao Sect's Seven Meridians, Jiuhua, Youfu, Yuandu, Cangyun, Guanghan, Yujing, Qianming, but you are the only one from Qianming Palace who has not applied for the quota. If you don't apply this year, If you introduce those two boys, they will be a generation of dwarves~"
"Our Guanghan Palace's entrance quota for this year has already been filled up."
After Lin Baoer finished speaking, he took a bite of the candy painting, and then said in a sweet voice: "Look at how fast Yuandugong moves. The last person who entered the palace became my senior brother, and the one in front of me has also been admitted to the sect. It’s time to build the foundation.”
"Did you take the gadgets belonging to the younger members of my clan again?"
The middle-aged scribe is Mr. Wu who teaches in the thatched cottage. He leaned on crutches and said, "Qin Hong has barely passed the test, but my junior's character is a bit worse. It may not be a good thing for him to start now. Let's temper his character." It is very necessary.”
"Tsk, tsk, you've driven them crazy. Look at Qin Hong, isn't he so anxious to ask for help?"
Lin Baoer walked to the side and sat on a stone bench in the courtyard of the thatched cottage. He curled his lips and said, "Speaking of character, the new entrant in Yuandu Palace, Senior Brother Zhang, was originally a pig butcher. Tell me, what is his character?" "
"Senior Brother Zhang was able to gather energy and become an elixir in just two months. He is truly a genius. Senior Uncle Zhengfang stopped by to take a look at you and found a good idea. Senior Brother, how come you have been here for a year? Did the people give it to Yuandu Palace?"
"Although Junior Brother Zhang was a butcher in this life, he is actually the reincarnation of a certain senior soul. It is normal for him to be so brave and diligent."
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Besides, I'm still in the realm of being casual and casual, but you, Master Zhengfang, have already reached the level of being casual. You should have higher standards than me."
"What about this kid?"
Lin Bao'er blinked, pursed his lips toward the outside of the courtyard, and then asked: "I was surprised when I found out on the road today that he had run the introductory mental method. I thought you had given him a quota, but I didn't know that he had entered the thatched cottage until I arrived. Yuandu Palace."
"Also, when we were observing from the sky just now, he seemed to look over, which made me think that my invisibility method was seen through."
"He did glance in the direction where we were standing. He must be born with a strong spiritual sense."
Mr. Wu nodded slightly and said: "You should have heard Qin Hong talk a lot about Wang Li's situation, and you must have understood the differences between him and many of his peers."
"As for why I didn't introduce him, it's because he hasn't entered my thatched cottage, so he has no chance to have access to Qianming Palace. In addition, you said that he only started to practice the inner teachings today. If you're not wrong, then he has extraordinary qualifications. "
Lin Baoer's eyes lit up, he held his chin with one hand, and said in deep thought: "I only heard that this kid is very good at sneaking into camps, but since senior brother, you said that he has extraordinary qualifications, then I have to observe carefully..."
Mr. Wu slowly shook his head and said: "Wang Li is different from Wu Yu, and there is nothing about him that you like."
When Lin Baoer heard this, he immediately pouted and said: "Brother, what are you talking about? In fact, I don't have any use for Wu Yu's things. It's just that there are many sisters in Guanghan Palace, and many of them have not yet been reborn. I will borrow those things."
The gadgets are all for them..."
"Okay, okay, you don't need to explain, I understand everything."
Mr. Wu waved his hand and frowned: "Compared to them, you are also a senior like me. Isn't it inconvenient to always act in front of others with this face?"
Lin Baoer opened her mouth and smiled: "Haha! I think it's quite funny. That guy Wu Yu really thinks I am a good sister who has just started."

night.
After Wang Li had dinner, he sat on the bed and opened the small wooden box he had brought back.
He took out the iron blocks, iron sheets and skewers that had been beaten in the town's blacksmith shop one by one and began to assemble them. At the same time, he thought about what he learned about the Qiongxiao Sect from Qin Hong's mouth, some of which were told to him by his father.
Some of them he accidentally heard from Mr. Wu, and some were his own personal speculations.
One of the pieces of information is very crucial, that is, there are mortals living in Qiongxiao Sect. Qin Hong definitely told him that the sect allows disciples to bring their families.
This solved his worries.
Soon there were only two thumb-thick black tubes left in the box, and Wang Li raised an exquisite crossbow in his hand.
Boom!
Wang Li lightly hooked the string, with a look of satisfaction on his face. In his previous life, his profession made it difficult to obtain firearms in some highly regulated places, but this thing was very easy to obtain. In the past, he had done it himself.
Just buy the materials and make them at home.
When his mother Wang asked him about it during the day, he made an excuse and said it was something Qin Hong asked him to buy. In fact, the crossbow was a tool he planned to use to hunt in the mountains when he could find an opportunity in the future.
As for the wages, Wang Li killed the two gangsters who blackmailed him, found half of the money on the corpses, kept some for himself after returning home, and gave the rest to his mother in the name of Qin Hong to cover up.
Originally, when he made this crossbow, he just wanted to find a hunter to learn some skills in the future and improve the situation of his family. However, after getting the skills given to him by Uncle Zhang, hunting became more important.
The combination of that chant and the three human body exercise diagrams is the complete foundation building method, especially those three exercise diagrams are the key to Nayuan body training.
Songs and diagrams complement each other in the foundation building stage, and are methods of cultivating both life and life.
A little bit of spiritual clarity and no ignorance is the nature, and a little bit of vitality is the constant balance of life.
‘Xing’ refers to human nature or spirit, and ‘ming’ refers to the energy, blood, etc. needed by the human body.
The song formula cultivates the mind and calms the spirit, and the map strengthens the body and cultivates the life. It doesn't matter if you cultivate the mind and calm the mind, but to exercise the body, you need to nourish yourself with flesh, flesh, and rice. The side of the map explains these very clearly. It not only states the key points, but also provides a prescription for the medicine.
In addition, Uncle Zhang was very interesting and specially gave him six taels of silver.
Unfortunately, after he returned home, he heard his mother happily say that she had sent five taels to her grandfather, and also said that her grandfather had apologized to her today.
Wang Li sighed in his heart. He saw an unprecedented relief on his mother's face, and she was smiling all the time while eating.
Normally, his mother and he would live frugally and save the money Wang Li earned in the village, intent on paying off his grandfather's debt for his missing father.
Now that the matter has come to this, you can only rely on yourself from now on. If you can't exercise well, you are not qualified to find a guide.
I don’t know what Uncle Zhang’s situation is, but it took him less than half a month to teach him how to read and then left the village.
Could it be that he succeeded in exercising during that half-month period when he was studying and literacy?
After adjusting the crossbow, Wang Li took out a leather bag from under the bed and put it away. He sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the exercise chart.
He carefully read the essence of the annotations, and then silently recited the Xiao Qingxu Song Jue in his heart. After a cup of tea, he felt refreshed, and then began to practice according to the first diagram...
~~~~~~~~
At noon the next day, Wang Li made an excuse with his mother and went out after lunch. First he went to hang out with the hunters in the village, then he carried his skin bag to avoid others, and stepped into the hunting grounds where hunters from several surrounding villages usually hunt.
Entrance to the woods.
This small forest is called Youdeer Forest. It has nothing but deer deer.
Wang Li just came here to explore and mark the route today. He didn't intend to go deep. He found a flat ground and looked around. He took off his leather bag and took out a piece of silk, wiped out a piece of charcoal and started drawing on it.
Originally, he wanted to buy the map directly from the hunter.
After a while, Wang Li put away his things and stood up to leave. But just after taking a few steps, Wang Li suddenly turned his head and looked at a tung tree ten steps away.
He saw a blue bird the size of a dove standing on a tung tree branch that had almost lost all its leaves in autumn.
Wang Li was a little strange. He had just taken two steps and felt like he was being watched. This feeling had saved him from danger several times in his previous life, but occasionally he made mistakes.
By the way, I had the same feeling when I was talking to Qin Hong last night.
I took a look today based on my feeling and unexpectedly saw a bird.
Seeing where the birds were combing their feathers with their beaks, Wang Li smiled and stepped into the woods. Not long after he disappeared, the bluebird on the sycamore tree also flew in along the route he had taken.
forest.
Two hours later...
Wang Li was leaning on a stone to drink water. This was on the other side of the woods. Surrounding him was an abandoned mine. Within a radius of twenty meters, there was not a single big tree except for stones.
He sat on the ground and looked vaguely into the distance. In the direction he was looking, there was a blue bird chirping happily.
This blue bird was the one when Wang Li entered the woods just now.
During these two hours, Wang Li could see this blue bird wherever he went. It was obviously following him.
Several times he wanted to shoot it to death with a flying needle, but when he got closer, the bird immediately jumped into the sky. Then he used a crossbow and fishing net, but every time the blue bird narrowly escaped.
.
Once is a coincidence, but it is no longer a coincidence if you can avoid it every time.
After that, Wang Li ran several times to get out of the sight of the bird, but it was useless. What was even more annoying was that once Wang Li spotted an injured deer from a distance, and before he could take action, the bird rushed over and made a scene.
The movement frightened the deer away.
Deciding that there was nothing he could do to capture the bird, Wang Li had no choice but to walk out of the woods.
This bird disturbed his good deeds, but it was so spiritual. Wang Li grew up in a village and worked everywhere, but he never heard of anyone raising such a bird.
Today's efforts were in vain.
"We have to find a way to kill it..."
Wang Li remembered that the bird had deliberately scared away its prey before, and he began to make plans in his mind.
