Wei He didn't say anything more and continued to hone his energy.
Ouyang Zhuang also knew the personality of his senior brother. He was usually taciturn, did not like to speak, did not like to socialize, and only focused on practicing hard.
I didn’t say much at the moment and just started practicing hard together.
At the end of the day, at noon, after eating, Wei He returned to his position against the wall and stood in the hot light.
He looked at the sandbags, black stones and medicine basins that he practiced hard day and night, and stood quietly in place for a long time.
He really wanted to rely on himself and concentrate on making breakthroughs. But in fact, he knew in his heart that his qualifications were mediocre, and reaching the current level was already the limit. If he went up further, without using the realm-breaking beads, he would probably be at this level for the rest of his life.
But what if? What if I can make a breakthrough on my own?
Wei He was conflicted in his thoughts.
I don’t blame him for being entangled, but it’s just that it’s too difficult to save the realm-breaking beads. It took me so long to save them once.
You really can't use it indiscriminately.
And the most important thing is, he wants to know, are his qualifications really that mediocre? What if it is some kind of hidden qualification? What if there are other hidden things that he didn't discover?
After a long time, Wei He shook his head and decided to keep trying for two more days.
After going back to take a short nap, a group of people in the yard started a new exercise again.
In Nuoda's courtyard, there are fewer and fewer new people and more and more old people.
Wei He practiced hard all afternoon, but he could only feel that the energy and blood in his body were not moving. There was no progress at all.
He returned to the Wei family courtyard in a bad mood.
The second sister, Wei Ying, was collecting the clothes that had been dried in a wooden basin. She happened to receive her own underwear and skirt. When she saw Wei He entering the door, she quickly moved quickly and covered her underwear and other things with her outer skirt.
Then he straightened his long hair, suppressed the heat in his face, and turned around.
"You're back? The food is ready. Sister Zhang from the yard just came to visit, so I chatted with her for a short while. It took me a little time."
"It's okay, I'm going to change clothes." Wei He closed the door with his backhand and walked to his bedroom.
To avoid suspicion, his and his second sister's bedrooms were the two furthest apart.
Fortunately, the yard is not big. Even the farthest rooms are only a dozen steps away, so you can hear movements at any time.
Wei Ying went to bring the food and put it on the table one by one. The two of them sat down on a wooden table in the middle courtyard under the eaves.
When it's still dark, most people take advantage of the last bit of light to finish eating quickly, put away the dishes, and then do other things.
This is a way of life for poor people because they want to save lamp oil.
Although the two siblings now have some spare energy, they still maintain the good habit they developed in the past.
Sitting under the eaves at the door of the house.
Wei Ying picked up her rice bowl and looked at her brother.
"Just now, when Sister Zhang came over to chat with me, she said something. I thought, although this matter has nothing to do with you, I still want to talk to you."
"What's the matter?" Wei He raised his head and asked in confusion. "Are you trying to tell you about your husband's family again?"
"What, no." Wei Ying said angrily, "It's that Li Huanhuan in your yard. Sister Zhang asked me to keep an eye on you and don't get close to her."
"Li Huanhuan?" Wei He reacted for a moment before remembering who the name was.
The new free girl in the yard who replaced the second sister Wei Ying and continued to take care of Mr. Zheng is good-looking. Although her figure is not as good as that of the second sister, she is still well-shaped.
But he wasn't very impressed because he was focused on practicing hard.
As for Li Huanhuan, she mainly likes to hang around and take care of disciples with good family backgrounds.
So there is no intersection.
"What's wrong with her?" Wei He asked. He lowered his head and put a handful of scrambled tomatoes and eggs into his mouth.
"She...Sister Zhang said she has relationships with many men in the yard..." Wei Ying felt like she was speaking ill of people behind their backs, and she always felt a little bad.
"Does it matter?" Wei He was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
"Well, it's not a good relationship anyway. Sister Zhang saw her coming out of different disciples' residences more than once. You have to be careful and don't get stuck with that Li Huanhuan." Wei Ying whispered. "Whether it's true or not, I
It’s always better to stay away.”
"I know." When Wei He thought about it, he also remembered that indeed, Li Huanhuan was a little too close when greeting some of his fellow apprentices.
In the yard of muscular men who sweat profusely and exercise hard every day, with the blood surging, if the woman really wants to seduce, it is really easy to succeed.
Wei He made a mental note and planned to look back and pay attention.
Picking up the bowl, he continued to plan the rice quickly, but this time he still didn't plan a few bites when there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Is anyone here?" A rich male voice came in from outside.
"Who?" Wei He stood up and walked to the door.
"I am the younger brother of my next-door neighbor Xu Chun. Please open the door." The man said loudly.
Wei He narrowed his eyes, paused, and turned around to signal Wei Ying to go into the back room and hide.
Wei Ying understood immediately, stood up quietly, quickly entered the back room and closed the door.
Suddenly Wei He was the only one left in the yard.
He stood in front of the courtyard door, reached out and gently opened the door latch, and pulled it in.
A burly man was standing outside the door.
The man has a beard and is wearing a white coat. He rolls up his sleeves with both hands, revealing his thick forearms.
Seeing Wei He open the door, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wei He.
"Excuse me, my sister Xu Chun, my name is Xu Wei. A few days ago, my sister was brutally beaten at home. Now she is blind, unable to see, and unable to take care of herself.
So I wanted to ask my neighbor if he heard any noise from next door that day?"
This person's breath is long, his heartbeat is slow, and his muscles are quite smooth without any lumps.
The most important thing is that this person's eyes glanced left and right, as if...
It seems that he is looking to see if there is anyone else around!
Wei He's heart suddenly became more vigilant.
"Nothing coming from next door? I didn't hear it. I'm going to have a rest soon. You can leave if you have nothing to do." He pretended to be impatient and wanted to close the door.
"Don't worry."
The man who called himself Xu Wei reached out and blocked the wooden door from closing.
"Neighbors, my sister is now blind. I'm here to ask about the situation. Why don't I just give you the time to say a few words?"
Xu Wei's face turned cold.
My sister was resting at home and no longer looking for trouble in the church, but unexpectedly something went wrong.
"I don't know what you are talking about, take your hands away!" Wei He stared.
"Hey, friend, do you know something?" Xu Wei sneered.
At such a close distance, there was a beating happening on one side, but the other side didn't hear anything at all, and there was no movement?
How is that possible? It’s just that I don’t want to reveal it.
"I don't know anything. Take your hands away!" Wei He raised his voice again.
"Why did you take it away? Why are you so excited? Could it be that you were the one who touched my sister!?" Xu Wei recalled the look in his sister's eyes.
The doctor told him that quicklime had entered his eyes, which would cause eye problems over time.
But my sister rarely goes out on weekdays and always burns incense at home. She won’t offend anyone at all, so how could someone throw quicklime on her?
Xu Wei glanced at this moment and immediately saw the bag of quicklime hanging on Wei He's waist.
"It must be you!!!" His eyes suddenly opened as wide as bells, and he pounced forward.
A stroke of the White Lotus Coming to the World palm technique hit Wei He hard in the chest.
It happened that Wei He also raised his right fist to gather strength and punched him hard.
The two exchanged blows head-on.
Bang!
Fists and palms clashed, and Wei and Xu Wei each took a step back with surprised expressions on their faces.
Wei He felt a strong force coming from the opponent's palm, and he actually blocked his fist forcefully.
He had accumulated all his strength to deliver this back-to-the-mountain punch, but he still couldn't gain the upper hand.
Xu Wei was also surprised.
Although he did not use all his strength with this palm technique, he still used 60% of his strength, and was actually blocked and stopped.
As the incense master of the Katori Sect, he immediately realized that this was a hard fight.
The opponent's strength is not much different from his.
Now he took a step back.
"It turned out to be a disciple of Huishan Quan. There was a misunderstanding. It was probably a misunderstanding. My sister's body is covered with scars from sticks. The perpetrator used a short stick. Now her body is covered with scars. Her old illness has relapsed and her injuries are serious. Please respect me.
Tell the truth truthfully, and you will be rewarded in the future!" Xu Wei said seriously.
"I really don't know. I was practicing boxing in the yard that day and the sound of hitting the sandbags was very loud. I had no idea what was going on next door." At this time, Wei He also felt that the other party was difficult to deal with, so his tone softened.
"Seriously?" Xu Wei asked, his eyes softening slightly, probably feeling that he had made a mistake.
"Seriously." Wei He replied affirmatively.
"...Okay, in that case, excuse me for disturbing you." Xu Wei looked at Wei He seriously, then turned around and left quickly.
Before leaving Wei's house, he turned a corner and came to an alley.
Xu Wei slowed down, and there were already two people waiting in the alley, both church members wearing gray and white clothes and round-brimmed straw hats.
"Incense Master? How about it?" someone asked in a low voice.
"No matter what, the person living in this courtyard is an official disciple of Huishan Quan. He is not weak. I can't handle it by myself. He might escape.
Just in case, go back and ask Master Shangguan Xiang to come over and help me."
Xu Wei's eyes flashed fiercely and he said fiercely: "No matter what, that guy also had a lime bag on his waist that was designed to use tricks. He also lied to me that he didn't hear a sound that day. Is it possible? At such a close distance, even if
Even if you yell, it's impossible not to hear a single sound. Not to mention someone with such keen senses!
It was clearly him who did it! If it wasn't him, it must be someone related to him. My sister went to his bun shop just before she fell ill, and he kicked her out after that.
This guy must have a grudge and secretly attack behind him. Do you really think I can't guess it?"
Xu Wei was not a fool. He investigated the situation and immediately identified the person who was most likely to be the murderer as soon as he contacted him.
"Okay, go back quickly! Let Lord Hu Xiang come with you. I'll guard here and don't let that kid escape. Anyone who dares to offend me, Xiang Qiu, doesn't know how to write the word "death!" Xu Wei said in a cold tone.
"Okay!" The two quickly turned around and trotted away along the other end of the alley.
If the three incense masters join forces, they won't be able to kill that kid!
Xu Wei felt an evil fire rising in his heart.
the other side.
In the yard.
Wei He closed the door and took two steps back. The more he thought about it, it was wrong.
When the man left, his eyes flashed and he clenched his fists, obviously unwilling to do so.
Since he is the younger brother who teaches next door to Katori, he must also be from Katori. If he calls for someone to come, I will be unable to defeat him with two fists... Wouldn't it be a disaster?
The more Wei He thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he worried, the more afraid he became.
At that moment, he surrounded the wall from the side, turned over, and walked out without leaving the door. After landing, he was about to go around the alley from the other side.
Suddenly, two men in straw hats passed by him, wearing clothes that looked like the Katori Sect style.
