The vast majority of martial artists reach the age of fourteen or fifteen and have practiced some basic martial arts before joining the sect as a tou master. In the "Seven Great Sects of the Central Plains", there is an endless stream of people from all walks of life who come to learn from the tou master every year.
You have to go through many tests, and only those with excellent qualifications will be admitted.
In fact, each sect has its own method of selecting and recruiting disciples. In the past, the "Five Tiger Heroes Conference" in Wuyang City was actually a competition held by the "Four Evils in Western Hunan" to recruit young disciples.
According to Hua Bushi's plan, in the next few years, the power of the "Evil Dog Sect" will expand to all areas of the Ming Dynasty. This requires recruiting a large number of disciples to expand combat power, otherwise everything will be a fantasy. "
After several recent battles, the "Evil Dog Sect" has gained some fame, but it is still a small local gang in Hunan Province. It is far from being compared with the famous sects of the "Seven sects of the Central Plains".
Human beings are very limited.
There are many martial arts schools in Changsha city where people can pay money to learn martial arts. The young men who formed the "Qingyun Guard" were selected from the disciples who practiced martial arts in these martial arts schools. However, the disciples in these martial arts schools were relatively well-qualified.
The number of recruits is also very limited. After two recruitments, it has reached the point where no one can recruit.
"Evil Dog Sect" does have a martial arts gym in Wuyang City, but it is also a business of teaching people to practice martial arts for a fee. But Hua Bushi has a different idea this time. He wants to open a martial arts gym that does not charge money.
.
Qualified geniuses are selected from a thousand, and a person with martial arts talent also needs opportunities to become a master. Whether it is to enter a martial arts gym to practice boxing or to hire a martial artist to teach boxing and sticks at home, it will require a lot of silver.
At least families with a little wealth can afford it. And most children from poor families, even if they have talents, will only end up being buried if no one discovers them.
That's why Hua Bushi thought of opening a martial arts gym that doesn't accept cash, recruits a large number of young disciples, and teaches them basic martial arts for free. In this way, it is possible to discover more talented people, so that when the "Evil Dog Gate" expands its power
, there is a continuous supply of talents.
However, although this idea is good, it is easier to think than to do. The biggest difficulty is none other than the cost of silver coins, and the most scarce thing in the "Evil Dog Gate" at the moment is silver coins.
Hua Bushi made some calculations and realized that if there were no more ways to make money, this grand plan could only be shelved for the time being.
It was already the third watch when we returned to the Hua family mansion from "Qifeng Tower".
As soon as Hua Bushi stepped into the door of the house, he saw Zhenniang standing by the door and quickly stopped to salute.
"Why did you come back just now? Have you gone to drink again?" Zhen Niang frowned and said cautiously when she smelled the smell of alcohol on the young master.
"It's just two drinks." Hua Bushi said sarcastically, "It's so late and Aunt Zhen isn't going to rest yet, but do you want to see me if you have anything to do?"
Zhenniang said: "Aunt Zhen is looking for you because she has nothing to do. It's Miss Qiaoyun who is looking for you. She came as soon as it got dark and has been waiting for you for more than two hours!"
Hua Bushi said: "Oh? Where is she now?"
Zhenniang said: "She is in the living room. She is as anxious as if she wanted to see you. She asked her what happened but refused to tell her. Have you done anything to disgrace this girl?"
Hua Bushi smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Zhen, don't talk nonsense. She and I are masters and disciples. How could anything happen? I'll just go see her right now."
When I walked into the hall, I saw Sun Qiaoyun in the hall, pacing back and forth. He was sweating profusely and his pretty face was red.
As soon as she saw Hua Bushi coming in, she hurriedly came forward to greet her, but she knelt on the ground with a bang and said, "It's all my fault. I let Sister Yang know the secret. Please punish me, Master!"
Hua Bushi's expression suddenly changed and he said, "What's going on? How could she know!"
Sun Qiaoyun lowered her head, almost crying, and said: "This afternoon, I...I..." She was so frightened that she could no longer speak.
As soon as Hua Bushi heard Sun Qiaoyun's words, he looked very shocked, but after only a moment he had regained his composure. He reached out and took Sun Qiaoyun's palm, helped her up from the ground, and said warmly: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about this matter. It's your fault. You can slowly tell me how my sister knew the secret."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yang Jiangyi and Hua Bushi returned to Wuyang City. Today is the third day.
During this period of time, Yang Jiangyi was three times busier than Hua Bushi. What she was busy with was recording and drawing the sword techniques and sword formations of the "Seven Swords of Qingyun".
The battle that took place in front of Gejiabao Pier that day could be said to be a battle between Hua Bushi's wisdom and knowledge, coupled with Yang Jiangyi's martial arts talent, and Yue Hanshan's peerless swordsmanship "Three Hundred Styles of Wild Geese". In this duel, the "Qingyun Sword Formation" narrowly won in the end, thanks to the tacit cooperation between Hua and Yang, who made up for all the shortcomings in the sword formation's offense and defense before the battle.
On the dock that day, Hua Bushi called out the directions of hundreds of acupuncture points, all of which were flaws in the sword formation. Yang Jiangyi randomly changed formations to respond to the enemy and eliminated these flaws. As soon as the battle was over, she began to All the changes were recalled one by one, recorded, and drawn into a complete map of the sword formation.
These are all obtained from the quick wits between life and death that day. They can be said to be the gains gained by risking one's life. Of course, they are very precious. However, the hasty response at the time of war will still leave many imperfections, which still need to be dealt with one by one. After careful consideration and revision, Yang Jiangyi was not sloppy in the least bit about the sword manuals and sword formations created by his master.
After this overhaul, the remaining flaws in the "Qingyun Sword Formation" have been reduced to very few, and the swordsmanship has also become perfect. It will definitely become more powerful when encountering a strong enemy again.
For three days after returning to Wuyang, Yang Jiangyi never walked out of the gate of the "Evil Dog Courtyard". She spent all day long on drawing and revising the sword array map, almost forgetting to sleep and eat, and her eyes were all closed. It was not until the afternoon of the third day that she finally finished drawing all the seven-way sword techniques and the twenty-eight types of sword formation diagrams.
Putting away the newly painted swordsmanship chart, Yang Jiangyi was very tired, but she was also quite excited. She walked out of the house and came to the atrium courtyard.
In addition to the back garden, there are three main courtyards at the front and back of the "Evil Dog Villa". Each courtyard has a radius of tens of feet, and there are as many as eight courtyards in the east-west direction, and there are fifty wing rooms, which can accommodate hundreds of people. There are more than enough people, and its scale is comparable to the courtyard of an ordinary large family. Although the area is not small, the courtyard has always been empty and deserted. In a few years, only "five small" people lived and practiced here. Even if Yang Jiangyi came later, there were only six people.
This time when Hua Bushi came back from Changsha City, the "Evil Dog Courtyard" changed from its previous deserted state and became much more lively in one day. This was because all the "Qingyun Guards" had moved in.
Dozens of young people were practicing martial arts and swordsmanship on the martial arts ground in the atrium courtyard, rehearsing battle formations. The swords were whistling and shouts and shouts were heard one after another, making the whole manor seem lively and lively.
Yang Jiangyi is the leader of the "Qingyun Guard", and she teaches the swordsmanship to these young people. Seeing the eldest lady of the Hua family coming from a distance, the young people stepped forward to salute and greet each other, while Yang Jiangyi waved her hand gently.
Indicate to them that there is no need to be polite and just continue practicing.
Standing next to the martial arts training ground, Yang Jiangyi saw these teenagers practicing swordsmanship, but what she was thinking about was the scene when Hua Bushi took her into the "Evil Dog Villa" for the first time that day.
At that time, like this group of teenagers, she was quite curious about the many strange exercise equipment in front of her, and the "Linglong Room" in the small courtyard next to her, which made her suffer a lot. At that time,
It was still early spring, and in the blink of an eye she had been at the "Evil Dog Gate" for more than half a year, but she still felt like what happened yesterday.
When she thought of Hua Bushi, Yang Jiangyi remembered that she hadn't seen him for several days. This was of course the reason why she had been locked in the house drawing maps these days and never went out. She didn't know that the young master was here.
What to do? Are you busy dealing with the affairs of the sect, or are you being forced by your father Hua Tianxiong to accompany his new wife Hai Hongzhu?
After experiencing many things in Changsha City, Yang Jiangyi found that she actually cared for Hua Bushi in her heart. She had not seen him for a few days and felt very uncomfortable.
Should we go to the Hua family mansion to look for him now? But when he came to the door like this without anything going on, Yang Jiangyi couldn't help but hesitate when thinking of Zhenniang's smiling face that seemed to be able to guess everything. Her thoughts turned again and again.
, she still couldn't make up her mind, and finally decided to take a look at Sun Qiaoyun first.
Miss Qiaoyun is Hua Bushi's new disciple. She must know what the young master has been doing these days. Moreover, it is very easy to find Sun Qiaoyun. There is no need to go to the Hua family mansion. She lives in the "Evil Dog Villa"
"inside.
Sun Qiaoyun lives in the west wing of the courtyard, and she is also in the house at the moment.
She was holding a book thicker than a brick and reading it attentively. When Yang Jiangyi walked into the yard, she was completely unaware of it.
Yang Jiangyi walked all the way to the door and knocked gently on the open wooden door. Sun Qiaoyun suddenly realized it and hurriedly stood up from the table and said: "It turns out that Sister Yang is here. Please... please come in!"
"
Yang Jiangyi said with a smile: "Sister Qiaoyun, you're welcome, I just have nothing to do and want to chat with my sister!"
While she was speaking, she saw Sun Qiaoyun picking up a small piece of paper from the table and quickly putting it into the book in his hand. This was not a very strange move at first, but when Sun Qiaoyun did this, his face
However, his expression looked quite panicked and his movements were hurried, as if he didn't want Yang Jiangyi to notice.
Sun Qiaoyun hid the note, but still held the book in his hand, and responded: "Sister, what do you want to talk about? Qiaoyun's knowledge is shallow, and he really doesn't know much."
