Chapter 27 Body Forging

After a while, someone came to him.

The person who came was a young military officer. Tang Zhao had met once, the one who confronted Yuan Qing before.His expression was still so stern, his brows were furrowed, as if he was unhappy in his heart.

"Follow me." He greeted briefly, turned around and left.

Tang Zhao's heart tightened, thinking that something important had happened.

The result is to go to Zhengtang to eat.

At this time, the partition screen in the main hall was removed, and the three main rooms were opened up, creating a spacious and spacious room.Candles are shining brightly in the hall, and the lights are brilliant.There is a banquet table in the center, although the banquet has not yet opened, it is already full of dried and fresh fruits.

Xing Ji changed into a brocade robe again, this one was more refined and close-fitting, and he looked like a master.The black widow is still in white clothes to accompany her in the main position.The two talked and laughed at Yan Yan, as if they had been friends for many years, and the weird atmosphere that had been hidden between them before was gone.

Tang Zhao secretly marveled, Xing Ji had already seen him, and beckoned, "Come, sit next to me." He was vacating an empty seat.

Although Tang Zhao seldom attended such occasions, he knew the etiquette of the seats, especially the young military officer who brought him here, he only took the last seat, so he declined, Xing Ji said: "This villa is the landlord, we are half landlords, you are Yuan Ke, it's just right to sit here. I'll wait for you to join the job later, and then sit in order when you have a job."

Tang Zhao sat down, most of the people at the banquet were people from the Black Spider Villa, and the rest were probably people from the District Inspection Department.The people in the villa are easy to recognize, they are all in black, and those who wear the same casual clothes as Xing Ji, do not wear official uniforms.

At this time, the banquet starts, and the price of all kinds of delicacies, wines and delicacies comes up.Everyone chatted and laughed happily, without any barriers, and the sound of toasting was endless.The light refracts on the fine porcelain wine vessel, reflecting light with different corners, dazzling and blooming.

Tang Zhao didn't understand the world of adults, so he buried his head in eating and drinking.The dishes are really good, with everything from chicken, duck to fish.Tang Zhao ate nonsense all the time, wishing he could get all his money back this month.

"Tang Zhao—"

Tang Zhao raised his head, swallowed the food, and saw Xing Ji looking at him with squinted eyes, his expression seemed to be drunk.

"In the next month, I will hand you over to Master Yin." He raised his hand to signal, pointing to the black widow.

The Black Widow smiled slightly, and said, "Exactly. This month, the Black Spider Villa is your home. You can eat and drink as much as you want, and just ask for anything."

"More than that." Xing Ji laughed with a voice full of alcohol, "Master Yin also hired a famous teacher to teach martial arts for you. It's luck. Haven't you toasted the owner yet?"

Tang Zhao was sure, and toasted the black widow, who drank it with a smile, and said, "In addition to the famous teacher, all the expenses of learning martial arts are also counted on my villa. You can just practice martial arts in peace."

Tang Zhao thanked you again and again, Xing Ji said: "It's a pity that I'm too busy this month, and I really can't take care of you. But I also left you a caregiver. You also met before, Si Liyu."

Naturally, he was referring to the young man, who was the youngest at the table besides Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao hurriedly got up to salute, and Si Liyu also got up, but his expression was cold, and his brows were still furrowed.

Xing Ji said: "Xiaosi is a rising star here, with outstanding talents, it is good everywhere. If it weren't for the special circumstances, he would have taken on a more important burden. Now look after you for me, and there are some additional training items called He teaches. And I also leave a resource for you, and put it with him."

When he praised Si Liyu, the young man's brows were still furrowed, and he didn't express anything at all. Only then did Tang Zhao confirm that this person was really born like this.

This person... is not easy to get along with.

But Tang Zhao had no choice, and offered him a toast as well, and Si Liyu did it with his head raised, and sat down upright.

After drinking a few more rounds, the food was eaten, the sun was setting outside the window, and the sky was getting late.

Xing Ji picked up a glass of wine and said loudly: "Let's have a drink together. From now on, everyone here is a grasshopper on a rope. Don't distinguish between officials and civilians, district inspectors, and five poison associations. , Blessings are shared, difficulties are shared, not a family, but a family. The storm is coming, I hope everyone will help each other!"

Everyone responded with a bang, raised their glasses one after another, and drank the wine in their glasses.

Tang Zhao drank a cup in a daze. Seeing that the table had become a gathering hall for thieves, he was about to weigh the gold and silver and kowtow to the hand. A thought flashed in his mind:

really?
After drinking it in one sip, he met a gaze on the opposite side, as cold as three winters of water, without any alcohol smell, it was Si Liyu.

The two looked at each other, looking at each other silently.

Tang Zhao repeated in his heart:
really?
After the banquet broke up, although Tang Zhao didn't drink much, he was young and frail, and his head was already dizzy because he didn't have the capacity to drink. He sat there to sober up for a while, and the maid who served the banquet wrapped up the remaining dishes and swayed with the smell of alcohol. Akira walked back to the room.

At the door, someone was waiting for him.

Si Liyu leaned in front of the door, with his hands folded, his eyes deep.

The moonlight was dim, and his whole body was like a blue-gray stone sculpture, cold and rough.

"Master Si... Are you waiting for me?"

Tang Zhao asked cautiously.

"This is for you—" Si Liyu pulled out one hand and handed him a bamboo tube. "The guardian envoy gave it to you."

"Guardian envoy..." Tang Zhao was taken aback.

Seeing Tang Zhao took it, Si Liyu turned and left. In the night, he seemed to hear him say:
"Weakness. Why are you..."

The voice gradually disappeared into the night.

Tang Zhao went to see Wei Changle first, brought him dinner, and confirmed that his health was getting better, and it seemed that the wound medicine was effective.

Then when talking about future plans, Tang Zhao didn't need to ask, he just obeyed the arrangement for martial arts training, and then asked Wei Changle.

Wei Changle said: "I have nowhere to go, if only I could follow you."

Tang Zhaodao: "I'll try. It's just that my life and death will be unpredictable in a month, and you are nowhere to be found."

Wei Changle said: "It's good to have a stable life without worrying about food and clothing for a month. Still thinking about what will happen in a month? One day, count as one day."

Tang Zhaodao: "In this way, I am invincible this month. I expect that I will answer any request. You practice martial arts with me first, and at the end of the month I will beg him to let you go first. You take the money and set up a shop to wait for me first. In case I get out, we will open a big business, if I can't get out, you will inherit my will..."

Wei Changle hurriedly said: "Stop talking nonsense. How can I take your money..."

Tang Zhaodao: "Otherwise who shall I give it to? Is it confiscated?"

Wei Changle shook his head repeatedly, sighed again, and said, "Let's talk about it when the time comes."

After going out of Wei Changle's place, Tang Zhao's smell of alcohol gradually rose again, and his mind became dizzy again. He walked slowly along the eaves to his own residence, and when he pushed the door, his whole body shivered.

"Master Si? Why are you here?"

Si Liyu sat on the desk, glanced at him coldly, and asked, "Where did you go?"

Tang Zhao was stunned and thought: What does it matter to you where I go?
But his temper is still good, even though the smell of alcohol is still there, he still replied calmly: "Go to see a friend."

Si Liyu repeated: "Friend?" With only two words, there was a wave of suspicion, as if Tang Zhao was lying blatantly.

Tang Zhao was still dizzy. He wandered to the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He found that there were two teacups in the teapot. He poured a cup for him and said, "Well, who doesn't have a friend yet? My lord has gone and returned , what advice do you have?"

Si Liyu said: "Have you seen it?"

He spoke without beginning or end, Tang Zhao was stunned for a while, and realized that he was talking about the bamboo tube.

"It's not too late." Tang Zhao drank the tea. Under the pressure of alcohol, his IQ returned a little, and he fell silent, only feeling strange in his heart.It didn't take more than half an hour to go inside and out, isn't this too impatient?I knew you wouldn't leave, okay?
Si Liyu frowned even deeper, the wrinkles on his forehead appeared, and said, "I didn't see it, why do you still have time to visit friends? Look."

Tang Zhao had no choice but to open the bamboo tube, and there was only a roll of brocade inside.

Opening the brocade silk, it turned out to be a scroll of pictures, or in other words, a scroll of comic strips.

"This is……"

The opening part shows a man lunging and posing for a punch.The back is still in human form, posing in various poses, and there are notes in small print underneath.

"Is it a martial arts secret book?"

"Secret book?" Si Liyu obviously didn't understand the word "secret", so I showed you all, could it be a "secret" book?
"Copy of the Forging Body Chapter of the District Inspection Division."

Tang Zhao was delighted to see it. Compared with the misty "Tung Blossoms Attracting the Phoenix", this one with both pictures and texts can be understood at a glance, how good it is!

Of course, if you say it's great, he can't see what's great.I just feel that the postures in the front are still human movements, and those in the back are too weird, not like what the human body can do.

"The first one." Si Liyu did not know when he was standing straight in the field.The posture is clearly to supervise him to start exercising.

Now?

But it was already late at night, and the smell of wine from the banquet hadn't dissipated yet.Didn't Si Liyu himself drink a lot at the banquet?
Tang Zhao looked up, Si Liyu's eyes were deep, Yue Zhiyuan looked up, and he didn't feel drunk at all.

Tang Zhao immediately understood that this was a man who acted vigorously and kept his word.

"Seize the day? All right."

After a while, Tang Zhao figured it out for himself, learning martial arts is for himself first, teaching others is giving, and exercising by himself is gaining, only he begs others, no one else begs himself.People are willing to teach, no matter sooner or later, I should fully cooperate.

It's better than facing a book from the sky, having nowhere to start, or even being obsessed.

Thinking of Tianshu, he immediately thought of glasses.I wonder if there will be annotations when reading this book with glasses?Will there be fairies?
It's a pity that the glasses are cracked, probably not useful.

The first move was unremarkable, and Tang Zhao could easily follow it.

Si Liyu glanced at it, and pulled or pressed Tang Zhao's shoulders and knees with his hands, correcting his posture until it was perfect.

"It needs to last for half an hour." Although he said so, it was obvious that he put teaching first, and he didn't really let Tang Zhao last that long, so he quickly said, "The second one."

The next painting is an independent pose similar to that of a golden rooster, which is quite weird. Tang Zhao tried it, and it seemed to work.It was a little wobbly, but after Si Liyu corrected it, it became less wobbly, and seemed to have reached a stable balance.

"next."

The latter paintings were weirder than the last, and the postures were more difficult than the last. Tang Zhao could only do it reluctantly, which was very uncomfortable.

Although Si Liyu didn't talk much, he was patient. He guided Tang Zhao to make every movement flawless, and he didn't rush too much.

When it came to the eighth painting, Tang Zhao couldn't do it no matter what, and said, "This is too difficult."

Si Liyu asked, "Continue."

Is that what it means to do your best?
Tang Zhao tried his best as he said, but his body didn't listen to him. The human body really has limits. He wondered if anyone could do such twisted movements, and said, "It's a bit difficult."

Si Liyu said: "I don't think so." He stepped on Tang Zhao's knee to the bottom.

Tang Zhao screamed, and tears filled his eyes under the severe pain. Si Liyu took his arm and placed it on the painting, saying, "Isn't this done? Hold ten breaths, and I'll count them for you." Hold on." There seemed to be infinite power in his palm, manipulating Tang Zhao's body was like manipulating a puppet, not to mention pulling it into any position, even if it was broken, it would be effortless.

Tang Zhao only felt buzzing in his ears, as if the muscles in his body were torn, and wanted to fall down, but for some reason, he resisted it in one breath, holding ten breaths firmly.

Si Liyu nodded imperceptibly, raised his foot, and Tang Zhao fell to the ground.

He only felt that his joints were loose, his muscles were trembling, and his whole body was dripping with sweat, and it took him a while to recover.Supporting himself up, Tang Zhao looked up without looking at Si Liyu.

He needed a little time to hold back the tears that just overflowed unconsciously.

Si Liyu rolled up the scroll by himself, put it on the table, and said, "Practice every day at Mao, and I will come to you at night."

Tang Zhao gave a "hmm" and said, "What about the daytime?"

Si Liyu said: "During the day, the poisonous insects from the Five Poisons Society will teach you." His tone was slightly disgusted, not at all like someone who just drank the alliance wine an hour ago.

Leaving the room, Si Liyu walked out of the yard alone, her footsteps were silent, as if she was born a part of the night.

He walked across the courtyard without anyone noticing.

Except for one person in the main hall.

Xing Ji sat in front of the window, holding a glass of wine and looking out the window quietly, as if admiring the scenery.

His clothes, his demeanor, and his posture are all like a rich man singing in the wind and playing with the moon in the courtyard.

Just rewards are different.

Some enjoy flowers, some appreciate snow, and others appreciate night.

The night was dark, his eyes were clear, but his expression was already a little drunk.

"As expected of Xiaosi. There are thousands of dissatisfaction in my heart, and I will always do my duty and be trustworthy."

"Little Xiucai won't be fooled by him, right?"

"That's fine, otherwise he would be a good talker like me."

"I also hope that he can win a little bit and prove that I have good eyesight. He is more suitable than Xiao Si for this matter—more suitable than anyone else!"

　New year and new atmosphere, full of energy and sincerity!
