"No matter what, let's go back first. The mysterious force behind it is probably still concentrating on tracking the witch and has no time to care about anything else."
Wei He thought for a while, gritted his teeth and turned around again.
In the mountain forest, he quickly returned to the original place under the moonlight and saw a group of wild wolves feasting on the corpse.
From a distance, you can only see that the body has been torn into pieces and is being eaten by hungry wolves.
Each of these wild wolves is as long as a person, with green eyes, long black hair, and a very scary appearance.
Wei He kept watching until the remains of the body were picked up by wolves, and the blood stains on the ground were jumped on and licked wildly by a group of mole-like animals.
Then he quietly turned around again and rushed down the mountain.
When they returned to the escort team, a group of people had just begun to gather, preparing to return quickly.
It was getting dark this day, and although the danger was greater, the group was able to get up much faster without the cargo.
Moreover, without the goods, the probability of being robbed is much lower, and the escorts all look much more relaxed.
Wei He pretended to go out and walk around. Although his whereabouts were unknown, few people paid attention to him.
The old escort who was with him paid some attention, but deliberately pretended not to know.
These days, everyone only cares about the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's roofs. Sometimes caring too much will cause trouble for yourself.
The team stayed for a while, then slowly and leisurely headed back, holding torches.
What makes Wei He a little strange is that generally few teams will travel at night, and does Feiye City not close the city gate at night? This is also strange.
The escort team went back all the way, everyone was talking and laughing. It seemed that the escort cargo was very troublesome before. Now that it was unloaded, it suddenly became much easier.
The journey was uneventful and we returned to Feiye City.
The city gate was indeed closed, and it was pitch black. Only torches could be seen walking around on the wall.
But soon, someone in the team shouted a few words loudly.
The city gate slowly opened a crack, allowing the team to slowly enter.
Wei He suppressed the surprise in his heart and remained silent until he entered the city gate and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What? Does it feel weird?" Chen Shiniu, who was traveling with us, said with a smile. When it came to disbanding, he didn't hold back and asked directly.
"It's a bit." Wei He nodded. Didn't it mean that wild animals roam wild at night, which is very dangerous?
"There is a saying that there are many wild animals at night and they are easily attacked, so you have to travel during the day. This is a good saying, but you have to look at the place." Chen Shiniu said with a smile.
"Our escort trip was always near the city. There were very few robbers, and the wild animals were further away. So this life was actually very easy."
That being the case, why would someone spend money to hire a escort when they are at such a short distance? Isn’t it the same as sending them there yourself?
Wei He never expressed this doubt in his mind.
No matter how weird this escort trip was, he finally took the money and left.
Soon, the chief escort who led the team said that everyone should go to the chief escort bureau to collect their wages for this trip during the day tomorrow.
Then they dispersed.
Wei He didn't dare to delay at all and hurried home.
The people from the Katori religion he met the last night were still fresh in his memory.
When I got home, I quickly washed up, lay down, put on my clothes, and had a deep sleep.
He slept until dawn before he got up. Instead of going back to Shanquan, he went to the escort agency early in the morning and collected his part of the salary.
Then he put it home and hid it, then changed his clothes and went to the Huishanquan yard.
Bang.
Wei Gehe opened Cheng Shaoji's fist, lowered his head, and returned with a swing of his right hand.
The fist was also easily blocked.
The two of them were going back and forth, their fists sometimes paused and sometimes struck suddenly.
Driven by Qi and blood, both of them moved much faster than ordinary people.
Not long after, Wei He couldn't hold on anymore and was gently knocked away by a swinging fist. He staggered back two steps and almost fell down.
"Okay, why are you so excited today? My fists are much stronger than usual." Cheng Shaojiu asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Today, Wei He's fists are much more tricky to deal with than usual, and many times he punches and retracts decisively and sharply.
If he hadn't practiced it several times in small meetings, he might not have been able to keep up with Wei He's reaction.
Many times, he thought Wei He would use the third move of Huishan Fist, but Wei He suddenly jumped and used the fifth move.
This lack of rhythm made Cheng Shaoji very uncomfortable.
Wei He took a step back and wiped away his sweat.
He recalled that when he had fought with the guy who was tracking the black-lettered insect, the other person's eyes were clearly fascinated and his strength was about to run out, but he could still hold on for so long.
"Third Senior Brother, how should you deal with this in actual combat? What if you encounter an opponent who is much stronger than you?"
He asked suddenly.
"Haha... Well, come to my martial arts training ground later and I'll explain it to you in detail." Cheng Shaojiu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to ask this question.
However, Wei He's previous actions made him understand that this junior brother had reached the stage he should have reached.
Everyone who practices martial arts will start to think about this question after they become proficient in the moves: How to fight in a battle?
"Although Master Zheng has explained how we should deal with various opponents, various environments, and various situations, there are fixed Huishanquan routines.
But there are some things that are not enough to just talk about. I will explain them to you in detail later." Cheng Shaojiu said mysteriously.
Wei He suddenly realized that many fellow apprentices in this courtyard had their own secrets.
This kind of secret, or a kind of private skill, is usually the experience and training skills that you have developed over many years.
But few people choose to teach it to others.
If the third senior brother planned to pass this on to him, maybe...
Wei He's heart moved slightly, and he also started drinking water, resting, and then changing to another person for sparring.
He never mentioned this request again.
Cheng Shaojiu also pretended as if nothing had happened and went to practice sparring with other stronger senior brothers and sisters.
Senior brother Zhao Hong happened to be there, so he went over to ask Zhao Hong for help.
Throughout the whole day, when Wei He was practicing, his previous fight with the pursuer kept echoing in his mind.
He knew very well that although there was a big difference in energy and blood between himself and the other party, there was no reason why the pursuer would be both weak in energy and blood and could not see in the end.
He still couldn't take it down quickly.
You still have to rely on sneak attacks to win.
At noon, after eating and resting for a while, he couldn't sleep alone, so he stood in front of the wooden pile and pondered this matter.
It was not until the afternoon that they were completely disbanded. Cheng Shaojiu took him and continued riding the carriage to Cheng Mansion.
The two took off their coats and stood facing each other in the martial arts field. There was no one else around.
Cheng Shaojiu smiled and spoke.
"I see that you have been in a daze all day. Have you been thinking about this?"
"Yes." Wei He nodded, there was nothing to hide. "To be honest, I went to Changfeng Escort Agency to take a job in order to familiarize myself with the situation of the Escort Agency. When I arrived at my destination, I met someone while wandering around alone.
Robbers, and then I felt that I lacked too much in terms of actual combat."
"Of course, you can't teach anyone well just by being taught by a teacher." Cheng Shaojiu lightly tapped his feet back and forth and moved his body.
"During this period of time, I realized a key point during the small meeting." He said with a smile.
"What's the key?" Wei He blurted out, but immediately felt that it was inappropriate. Since it was Xiaohui's experience, it was inappropriate to teach it to him in private.
As if seeing what he meant, Cheng Shaojiu shook his head: "Don't worry, I realized this by myself and don't need other people's consent."
He swayed and circled around, and for a while he slowly stopped talking and seemed to be moving his body.
Wei He waited for him to answer, but saw this man turning around with a smile on his face, but he didn't speak.
I knew that this guy was worthy of being Mr. Zheng's disciple, and he had learned Mr. Zheng's habit of appeasing his appetite perfectly.
At that moment, he was no longer anxious and stood silently, not asking any further questions.
He has studied with Mr. Zheng for so long, and he has long known that the old man's biggest problem is that he waits leisurely for others to ask questions.
What I like most is watching people look so anxious that I just don't say anything.
The more anxious others are, the happier he will be.
This bad taste is quite bad.
Sure enough, after waiting for a short while, Cheng Shaojiu looked left and right, and turned around several times, but he didn't wait until Wei He asked.
After all, his own skill was not that of Mr. Zheng, so he couldn't help it.
"Well, since you want to hear it so much, I'll explain it to you in detail." He sighed and pretended to continue what he said naturally.
"Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up the confusion." Wei He immediately followed, cupping his fists and saluting.
Cheng Shaojiu was blocked for a while and felt unhappy, but he didn't get angry anymore and said bluntly: "In actual combat, the most important thing is eyesight."
"eyesight?"
"Yes, it's just observation. Let's take a look first."
Cheng Shaojiu pointed out: "Look at the opponent, judge the opponent, and classify him into what type?"
"First of all, take a rough look at the opponent's type. Is he good at fists, legs, or weapons? If it is a weapon, what kind of weapon is it?
You have to understand that people who are good at weapons are much more dangerous than ordinary people. No matter how hard your fists are, if you encounter sharp weapons, you will suffer under hard resistance. So you must predict."
"But the prediction I'm talking about is not just this. If you have done more actual combat, you will naturally understand this. The key to what I want to say is shock."
When Cheng Shaojiu said this, his expression became solemn.
"I heard from my father and brother that real masters pay great attention to Qi when fighting."
"Qi machine?" Wei He felt a little weak.
"Yes, it sounds mysterious, but to put it bluntly, qi means momentum and opportunity." Cheng Shaojiu smiled, "Just imagine, if there are dozens of servants standing behind me who are always aiming at you with crossbows, if you and
I'll take action. Do you dare to use your full strength?"
Wei He suddenly understood.
"Is this the qi machine?"
"Yes, this is momentum. I don't understand momentum very well, but when my father and brother gave me an example, they used it like this. I will repeat the exact words to you." Cheng Shaojiu continued.
“The stronger your eyesight, the more details you can see about your opponent, the greater your grasp of actual combat, and the harder it is to make mistakes.
As for the Qi machine, it's probably about trying to find ways to prevent your opponent from exerting all his strength and exerting his full strength. Then you try your best to bring out your best. If you attack the weak with the strong, you will win!"
"Fight the weak with the strong..." Wei He's eyes lit up, and he suddenly seemed to have caught something.
Isn't this what he's been doing all along?
So he won.
The same goes for killing Chen Biao before, and the same goes for killing the pursuer at Mingde Temple.
The pursuer is obviously stronger than him, so if they come face to face, he will die.
But the opponent still died in his hands in the end. This was because he used secret calculations to weaken the opponent's strength.
It turns out that a winner must do whatever it takes to weaken his opponent and strengthen himself.
Wei He suddenly understood.
He bowed gratefully to Cheng Shaojiu.
"Thank you, senior brother, for the advice!"
"Do you understand?" Cheng Shaojiu said with a smile. He obviously didn't know what his junior brother's understanding was.
