Chapter 148 Progress

Two days later, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng and their group went to the Xia family in Dongcheng.

The environment around the yard where the Xia family rented was particularly beautiful, and there was a big tree between them and the nearest neighbor's house.

When Master Decheng and his party entered the front yard, they saw the landscape screen at first sight; before they got close, they could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.

After Shi Zelan came closer and saw it clearly, he was amazed that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of that time was beyond people's imagination.

The mountains are still mountains, the water is still water, but the sound of flowing has never stopped.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan deliberately walked around the landscape screen and only after a careful look did they understand the mechanism carefully designed by the craftsmen.

When Xia's father Qiyuan Zhenren and Xia's uncle Qicheng Zhenren came out to greet the guests, they saw the two of them circling around the screen.

They smiled sincerely to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng: "After living here, I feel that it is worth every penny."

Master Qiyuan's brothers warmly invited Master Decheng and his party to sit in the courtyard. After the guests sat down, Master Qiyuan clapped his hands and the servants immediately brought tea.

The tea was placed on the table. Master Qi Yuan waved his hand, the tea boiled, and the servants retreated.

At this time, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng said to Master Qiyuan and his brother, "The servants you use here are the work of the Master of the Dharma Instrument Hall, right?"

Qi Yuan Zhenren laughed proudly and said to De Cheng Zhenren and Shan Zheng Zhenren: "I know that we can't hide it from your eyes. We let them out only to hide them from the neighbors' scrutiny."

As the elders were talking, they felt that the presence of the three younger generations made them feel uncomfortable, so they asked the three younger generations to leave.

After the three of them left the front yard, Xia Yu took Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan to the backyard and said to them, "The backyard of this house is very spacious. You can come to my house to practice swordplay when you are free."

They walked to the backyard and saw the wide martial arts training ground. Shi Xiaoliu asked in surprise, "Is your landlord a military commander?"

Xia Yu shook his head: "His ancestor was a great general, but after the general passed away, his descendants were not as successful as his ancestor.

They rented out this yard because they saw that we were from outside the area, were willing to rent it for a year, and could afford the price. ”

Shi Zelan pinched her fingers and sighed, "It's not even three generations yet, and the descendants can't keep the glory of their ancestors."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances. They had been in the capital for some time and had heard some things. The generals who had followed the saints to fight lived quite wealthy lives in their later years.

Xia Yu listened to Shi Zelan's words and said to her: "Sister Lan, I heard about the young wife."

Shi Zelan was not surprised at all and said, "Such a big thing happened a few days ago, so you can naturally hear some rumors."

Xia Yu sighed and said, "What a pity. If we had come a few days earlier, I would have also gone to knock on the door of my young wife's clan."

Shi Zelan looked at him in shock: "The people in the capital did not go to smash the courtyard door of the young wife's family.

The officials were guarding the entrance to the alley where they lived, and if someone really broke down the door, the officials would step out to stop them. ”

"I went out yesterday and heard people say that everyone had smashed down the doors of her mother's family and even their walls.

Everyone said that it took their tribesmen two or three days to repair the courtyard gate and wall. ”

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan laughed and told Xia Yu what they had seen and heard that day. After listening, he sighed and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder they have to clean the gate and repair the courtyard wall."

Shi Xiaoliu saw the empty weapons rack in the corner of the yard. He walked over and touched it, and found that the wood was as hard as iron. He immediately became interested.

He waved at Shi Zelan and said, "Sister Lan, this kind of wood is very rare. The ancestors of this family spent a lot of effort on the martial arts training ground."

Shi Zelan walked over and touched the weapon rack as well, then reached out and lifted it up, saying to Shi Xiaoliu, "This kind of wood is very heavy, suitable for making bricks."

Xia Yu was a little puzzled when she heard what Shi Zelan said, "Sister Lan, do you like bricks now?"

"Xia Yu, don't you think that a brick doesn't take up much space? You can just pick it up and smash it."

"It doesn't take up space, but if you smash it out, will you no longer need the bricks?"

“Yes.”

"After you smashed it, didn't you pick it up?

If you want to pick it up and continue using it, then it is still suitable for swords. ”

Shi Zelan looked at him and said, "I want a brick magic weapon. Naturally, I don't have to pick it up. It will return to my hands by itself."

Xia Yu felt relieved when she heard her words: "Fortunately, you didn't become stupid by staying in the mortal world."

"You are stupid. Now that you have come to the capital, aren't you worried that Wanyu will find a way to follow you?"

"Let her come if she wants. Can I still stop her master and her decision?"

Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu, who had an indifferent expression. As expected, she could not witness the scene of her childhood sweethearts with her own eyes.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were fighting in the backyard. Xia Yu was so excited that he joined in.

The person sitting in the front yard heard the noise in the backyard and rushed over, and saw three small sword lights flashing.

Master Qi Yuan used to think that Shi Zelan was a beautiful flower, who was pampered by the people of Zizai Peak and kept in the peak gate.

In his heart, he secretly sympathized with Master Shanzheng, thinking that he was too kind, which was why he accepted Shi Zelan as his personal disciple.

After seeing Shi Zelan's sword moves, he immediately understood that he had underestimated Shi Zelan. Every move she made could be used for attacking or defending.

Even when Xia Yu and Shi Xiaoliu worked together, Shi Zelan never showed any signs of defeat.

Qi Yuan Zhenren looked at Shan Zheng Zhenren with great admiration: "Shan Zheng, you are very good at teaching disciples."

Shan Zheng Zhenren laughed and said, "Her swordsmanship was taught by my senior brother himself. I am not proficient in swordsmanship to begin with, so I dare not teach her carelessly."

“Fang Cheng was very good at swordsmanship when he was young, but it’s a pity that he has no interest in swordsmanship, otherwise your sect would have produced a swordsmanship master.

Sister Lan, are you planning to work hard on kendo in the future? ”

Shanzheng Zhenren smiled and shook his head: "This child likes kendo, but she uses sword practice to exercise her body."

Master Qicheng was paying attention to Shi Xiaoliu's swordsmanship. He said to Master Decheng, "Xiaoliu's swordplay is quite domineering, which is not quite like his personality."

Master Decheng smiled and said, "Young people always have a competitive spirit. It just so happens that they have aroused his desire to win or lose."

Master Qicheng carefully observed Shi Zelan's sword moves and said to Master Decheng, "Sister Lan has really made great progress outside. We should bring the child out for a walk."

The three juniors put away their swords and were still willing to stop to discuss. Xia Yu directly invited them, "Xiao Liu, Lan Jie'er, next time you come, we can fight in another way."

Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Okay. I usually fight with Lan Jie'er, but it's not as exciting as fighting with three people together."

Shi Zelan agreed: "It turns out that only when more people practice can there be progress."
