277. The old man who practices Taoism (8) (1/2)

When the rooster crows in the early morning, the old man is dancing with his sword in the open space of the yard.

He had been pampered since he was a child and had never touched the ground before he was five years old. Naturally, he would not have learned how to dance a sword after just one nap.

At this moment, a martial arts master was teaching next to him, "Master Marquis, your feet need to sink a little deeper. Yes, the sinker the better."

"This movement of yours is very good, but I didn't teach you it. Don't let your Qi slip during practice."

After finishing the sword dance, the old man put away his sword lightly and exhaled a breath of filthy breath towards the slowly rising sun.

The martial arts master was a little stunned when he saw his smooth and smooth sword sheathing movements. How could he do this so easily if it wasn't for the Lian family? Could it be that the Marquis has also practiced before?

Didn't I hear that the Marquis studied Dharma with a Taoist priest on weekdays?

Doubts turned out to be doubts, but when he thought about the silver coins he got, Master Wu still praised him a few times.

After Master Hou finished his martial arts practice, he seemed to be in a much better mood. He turned his head and asked him, "Have you ever worked in other people's houses? If not, you will stay in the Hou's house from now on."

Master Wu, who was originally called over so early in the morning before dawn, immediately became alert and agreed excitedly without thinking.

He has not been able to find a suitable job since he was kicked out of Prince Liang's Mansion last month. He still has a wife, children and an old lady at home, so it is not an option to just sit there and have nothing to do. Since he came out of Prince Liang's Mansion, other mansions have always been busy. They would think that he was kicked out because his hands and feet were dirty. Even if they recruited him to teach the children in the family to learn martial arts, they would kick him out without hesitation when they found out later.

Thinking of this, the happy expression on Master Wu's face dimmed, and he bowed respectfully to Wei Mingyan, "Master Marquis, before I leave, I was in Prince Liang's Mansion. If you don't mind..."

"oh?"

Wei Mingyan, who was wearing crisp robes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you no longer in Prince Liang's mansion?"

Master Wu gritted his teeth, his face turned green and white, and told the truth.

He was originally an orphan. Later, because of his good bones, he was brought home by his master to teach him martial arts while begging on the street. The master had always been in charge of teaching the young masters in Liang Prince's mansion to practice martial arts. After the master left, he would be the one to teach him martial arts. Come teach.

The master's savings were all left to him, and he also had money. He took his master's mother home to support him. Under her care, he soon married a wife and gave birth to two sons.

Everything was fine at first, but just last month, because the youngest young master in the mansion insisted on dragging him to practice until night, Master Wu had to stay in Prince Liang's mansion for one night, because the next day happened to be Xiu Mu, and he I got up early again, and when it was still dark, I walked through the back door to go back. On the way, I met two servants carrying some kind of cargo and didn't pay attention. As a result, when I went back, I was kicked out.

The reason was that he stole a jade ring from the young master that night when he lived in Prince Liang's Mansion.

Master Wu was at a loss for words, especially because for some reason the yamen sent by Prince Liang actually found a jade ring in their house. He was taken to the yamen and beaten. From what those yamen said, he was an exiled soldier at last. His sin was in despair when suddenly another news came from Prince Liang's Mansion. It was said that the princess was kind-hearted and knew about the incident and did not care about it. Master Wu saved a small life.

"Master Marquis, I can use the head on my neck to guarantee that I act upright, sit upright, and I definitely didn't do anything like a rooster or a dog robber!"

Wei Mingyan listened thoughtfully, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Master Wu who was looking at him nervously, and suddenly said, "You go home."

Master Wu's face immediately turned pale.

Sure enough, no one would believe him?

But the man who heard this was obviously a grandfather, but he still looked at the Marquis who had no wrinkles on his face and said, "You have black air between your eyebrows. The black air goes eastward. It will bring trouble to your wife and children at home. It's better to go home first." Just go and guard them."

Master Wu: "..."

I had long heard that Mr. Hou was learning Taoism from a sorcerer, and it turned out that what he was learning was the number of faces.

He didn't really believe it, but he had just agreed to let him work in the house. If he expressed his disbelief so bluntly, wouldn't he clearly offend people?

Master Wu saluted, pretended to believe it, and left.

When Mr. Wei came, he happened to see a stranger like him leaving his father's yard. He glanced at Master Wu's back in confusion, then yawned and entered the yard.

Wei Mingyan was dancing with his sword again, and his slow movements seemed to have no lethality at all. His back was turned to Mr. Wei, but it was as if there were eyes behind him. While dancing with the sword, he said lightly: "We are a rare guest. "

Master Wei blushed. He really didn't like coming to his father's house much before.

He couldn't help it. Mrs. Wei had been crying since she woke up. When he went to comfort her, she said that her jade pendant was missing and that it was her little sister who came to see her.

Mr. Wei had never heard of a little sister, but it did not prevent him from understanding the fact that this little sister was a ghost. He had just experienced such a thing last night, and when his wife cried like this, all the hairs on his back suddenly stood up.

But it was such a coincidence that the eldest son happened to come to greet them. After seeing his mother crying so miserably, the way he looked at Mr. Wei suddenly changed.

He is the eldest grandson of the family, so there is no news he can hide from him. Ever since he heard that his father was punished by his grandfather, he has been asking about it. Finally, he found out that his grandfather punished his father because he had a woman outside, so he hurriedly came. As soon as the result came, we saw this scene.

Mr. Wei was unable to argue. He wanted to explain but couldn't bear to explain to his son. In addition, Mrs. Wei suspected that she had encountered a ghost, so she hurriedly came to her father for help.

"No need to be so alarmed."

The old man slowly swung the sword in his hand, without giving Mr. Wei the slightest glance from the beginning to the end, "That piece of jade was given to her by your wife."

It's okay if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, Mr. Wei's suspicion turned into reality, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead immediately, "Father, this, this, this..."

"The weather is nice today. Come, my father will teach you martial arts."

Like a wooden figure, he was manipulated and stood opposite the old man. Mr. Wei looked at the sword in his father's hand, then looked down at his empty hands, with a confused look on his face.

"Father, aren't you practicing martial arts?"

"That's right."

The old man raised the sword in his hand, "Now, my father is going to stab you with his sword, so you have to dodge."

Mr. Wei: "...What? But I...ah!!"

Before Master Wei could finish speaking, the sharp sword stabbed him accurately. He screamed and ran back quickly, avoiding his father's sword.

He had just taken two steps when the back of his neck was grabbed.

Behind him, the old man's eyes were filled with hatred, "My father asked you to block me, so why did you run away?"

At the moment of life and death, Mr. Wei was so frightened that he was about to pee.

He answered tremblingly, fearing that his father would stab him with a sword if he answered incorrectly, "Father, father... aren't we practicing martial arts? At least... you have to give your son a sword..."

"Eh..." The father let out a long breath.

"Ziqing, my father also wants to give you a sword, but your salary is too low and life in the house is so difficult. Where can I sell you another sword?"

Although Mr. Wei was frightened, his IQ was still intact and he said cautiously, "Now go to Madam and get money to buy..."

"shut up!"

The old man's roar frightened Master Wei so much that he stood stiffly on the spot.

Wei Mingyan's face was full of disgust, "You, a dignified man, actually want to take money from my wife, are you worthy of me and your wife!"

Looking at the pain in his father's eyes, Mr. Wei lowered his head in shame, "Father, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay to know you were wrong."

The old man, who looked a bit younger than Mr. Wei, patted his son on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Come on, let's continue practicing."

"Whenever you can dodge my father's sword, my father will tell you a secret."

secret!

Mr. Wei, who had been wilting just now, immediately became energetic.

Could it be that it's his father's ability?

Although he was still a little timid, since he had no choice, Mr. Wei still practiced honestly.

He is his own son, and the tiger's poison does not eat its seeds, so there should be no danger...right?

Soon, he discovered that although his father's moves were fierce, he always used the same template and had not changed much at all.

Mr. Wei carefully observed several times, and the last time, he not only dodged the stabbing sword, but also kicked the sword away.

--clang!

The sword was stuck directly into the ground.

Mr. Wei was a little excited, and he couldn't wait to look at the old man, "Father, my son can hide away!"

"Okay, father, I will tell you this secret that is related to the life and death of our family."

Wei Mingyan looked serious and took his son out of the yard. As he walked towards the door, he said in a solemn tone, "I always thought you were too young before, so I didn't say anything to you. Ziqing, do you really think so?" When you grow up, are you able to bear everything?”

Mr. Wei was excited and speculative at the same time, but looking at his father's eyes looking at him, he finally nodded firmly.

He can accept anything.

The father and son walked out of the Hou Mansion. Wei Mingyan remained silent along the way, as if he didn't know how to tell his son this big secret.

The more he behaves like this, the faster Mr. Wei's heart beats.

He could imagine that this matter must be beyond his imagination.

Because he was always guessing, Mr. Wei didn't notice that he was being led through the streets and alleys by his father, and finally arrived at a lively street.

Wei Mingyan glanced at the man dressed as a nobleman on the street and protected by servants until he saw him walking up to a small vendor and taking a sachet to look at, but the small vendor's hand quietly reached out. left side.

He sighed, "The secret is..."

Master Wei raised his heart and finally said it.

"There is not much money left in the house, Ziqing. You have to work hard to improve your official position and earn money for your father."

"Father, I believe you can do it, right?"

A cold light flashed, and Wei Mingyan stretched out his hand and pushed his confused son out.

Mr. Wei staggered a few steps and stood still. As soon as his feet landed, he saw a sword stabbing in his direction, and he immediately dodged it reflexively.

He dodged once, and the man stabbed him a second time. Looking at the familiar moves, Master Wei didn't panic, dodged again very skillfully, and kicked him smoothly.

"clang--"

After a set of moves was completed smoothly and the sword was stuck on the ground, Master Wei realized, wasn't this the move his father used just now?

But the man dressed as a civilian who had his sword kicked away suddenly rushed up again and attacked with his bare hands. Master Wei was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, but in the eyes of others, he dodged calmly.

And immediately from the group of people he had turned his back to, two people dressed as servants came out. After a fight, they pinned the guy who was holding the sword to stab someone to the ground.

The man's face was on the ground, and he was still cursing, "Emperor Dog, you... uh uh uh..."

The mouth was gagged.

From the incident to the end, there was not even a minute. Mr. Wei was completely conditioned. Looking at this scene now, he was completely stupid.

What?

what happened?

Behind him, the man in luxurious clothes stretched out his hand to block the servant who was about to step forward, and stepped forward to thank Master Wei, "Thank you knight for saving me."

He left the palace on a temporary basis today, and he didn't bring many people with him. The person just came out suddenly again. If Master Wei hadn't suddenly rushed out to block him, he would have been injured today.

Mr. Wei looked at the person in front of him blankly, "No, you're welcome."

Looks familiar.

Did you see me on the Dragon Throne last time?
