After leaving the door, Tang Zhao realized how big the Black Spider Villa was. There were endless corridors, courtyards, and courtyards to see. But the color is still monotonous, black walls, black tiles, endless black.
After walking for more than half an hour, I suddenly became enlightened. There is a large open sand field in the backyard, with stone drums, stone locks, sandbags, archery targets and other martial arts training equipment. More than a dozen people are practicing in the field. There were men and women, big and small, some had full beards, and some were not as tall as Tang Zhao. Most of these people were not wearing the signature black clothes of the Villa, but were wearing gray shorts.
When Tang Zhao and the others passed through the playground, everyone was immersed in practicing martial arts and didn't care.
This was Tang Zhao's first time watching someone practice martial arts up close, and he couldn't help but be curious.
In the field, some were boxing, some were standing, and some were holding stone locks to practice their strength. There are also people practicing concealed weapons at the shooting range. The standing posture is nothing to look at. Tang Zhao's body-building exercise can also be regarded as a kind of posture technique, but the posture is more awkward. Instead, the fists and feet of the boxing are reflected, and the wind is strong, and a burst of energy rushes towards the face.
Suddenly, Tang Zhao felt the sound of wind ringing in his ears. Before he could react, a white hand stretched out and pinched something next to his ear.
When Tang Zhao came to his senses, he saw that the little maid was holding a small black arrow in her hand, only a few feet away from his ear. If the maid didn't stop him, the arrow would definitely hit his cheek.
In danger for no reason, Tang Zhao broke into a cold sweat and said, "Thank you, sister, for saving my life."
The maid smiled and said, "Young Master, you don't have to be polite." After saying that, she lowered her face, hugged her shoulders and stopped moving forward.
Wei Changle was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, leaned into Tang Zhao's ear and said, "Let's not look closely at other people's martial arts. It's a taboo."
Tang Zhao had never heard of this rule and nodded quickly. Then he realized that the cold arrow just now was not an accident, but a warning from someone else, and it was a fatal warning!
Tang Zhao regretted that he was not careful. A disciple in gray clothes ran from a distance and said with a smile: "It turns out it's Sister Xiao Pei who is here. I just made a mistake and surprised my sister. Damn it, damn it."
Xiao Pei said: "Do you recognize me?"
The gray-clothed disciple smiled and said: "Sister Xiaopei is the person close to Aunt Yuanqing, who doesn't recognize her? Besides, my sister is so well-born, who can forget her after seeing her?"
Xiao Pei nodded and said: "If you have eyesight, your arrow." Then he threw the arrow to him.
The gray-clothed disciple reached out to catch it, but Xiao Pei's move was a false move. Although he made a throwing motion, the arrow was not released, so the man caught it in vain. Taking advantage of the moment when the man was stunned, Xiao Pei flicked his backhand and shot the small arrow into the man's face.
The arrow hit his eye, and the man screamed, fell to the ground, covered his eyes and howled.
Tang Zhao was dumbfounded, but he heard Xiao Pei sneer: "Since you recognize me, you know who I am and who I am with. Can't you see the brand on the young master's waist? Dare you ask him Take action, are you provoking Sister Yuanqing?"
After saying that, he turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he saw that Tang Zhao was still in a daze. He waved and said with a smile: "Master, go this way."
When the three of them came to the end of the playground, they saw a row of small houses, each one closely arranged like a hive.
Xiao Pei pointed to the two rooms at the end for them to put their things, then stood in the courtyard and clapped his hands and said, "Come here, everyone."
This little maid actually has great power. Like a bird entering the forest, hundreds of birds silence their voices. All the disciples in gray clothes stopped and gathered silently.
"Who is this Gray Spider King?"
Tang Zhaozheng was wondering who would call such an incomprehensible name. A young man aged 16 or 17 with a gloomy face had already stood up and said, "I am."
Xiao Pei asked: "What's your name?"
The young man said: "Jiao Feng."
Xiao Pei said: "Okay, Jiao Feng, I remember you. The two of them -" she pointed at Tang Zhao, "I'll leave it to you. From today on, you share their fate. In this month, they will have If there is any accident, Sister Yuanqing will definitely kill you." After saying goodbye, he said goodbye to Tang Zhao, turned around and left.
Jiao Feng was silent and stared at Tang Zhao, as if he wanted to see where the grasshopper that was suddenly tied to him came from.
Behind him, dozens of people stood silently, staring at Tang Zhao like Jiao Feng, like spiders in a web watching their stuck prey.
The atmosphere here is completely different from the high-rise terrace in front. The last layer of human filters has been removed, and the air is filled with a faint haze, intertwined with the black walls and dust to form a dim world.
"Okay, it's all gone." A man in black stepped forward, shooed the others away, and said, "Go back and practice martial arts. You only have less than a month. If you can't walk out of the grape courtyard vertically, you can't walk out horizontally. Go down to the Spider Pond.”
The crowd shrank, exploded in silence, and walked away cleanly.
The man in black clasped his hands and said sadly: "I know you. If you are as white and tender as you, if you don't want to be eaten alive, just stay calm. This is the vineyard, Yuan Qing's hands It can't be stretched that long." After saying that, he turned and left.
The two of them followed silently and went back to clean up the house.
The room in the vineyard is extremely small, with only enough room for a table and bed. There is a box under the bed, and all the extra things are placed in the box.
According to Yuan Qing's arrangement, the two of them need to wait for the teacher specially hired by the Black Widow to come for guidance, and the others do not need to care.
And in such an environment, if you don't want to care about other people, you need inner strength.
The two settled down separately, waiting for the teacher to arrive. Wei Changle came in and said, "Brother Zhao, it's very weird here. Let's be careful."
Tang Zhao knew that he had seen him watch others practicing martial arts and had been provoked by cold arrows. He was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he came here to remind him, saying: "No. I don't understand the rules of the world here at all. I don't know who I offended on any given day." "
Wei Changle said: "No wonder Brother Zhao didn't know. When you were studying in the past, what did you do if you looked at outsiders? It's not cheating in the examination room. Who would lift the table and beat someone because of it? Jianghu is a very dangerous place, and martial arts is not only The people who eat are more important than their lives, and their care is extremely important. If anyone else glances at them, they will make up for the vendetta."
Tang Zhao nodded repeatedly.
Wei Changle added: "Then again, don't you and I seem to be easy to bully? Not to mention that we have strong martial arts, but if Fan is tall and round, and looks a little more vicious, how can they take action without asking? Wu Wu Function is a matter of life and death, and a strong person can kill a weak person with just a raise of his hands, so people in the world know who can bully and who cannot."
Tang Zhao was a little curious about Wei Changle's origins. He originally thought that he was an ordinary refugee, living as hard as millions of refugees, young and old, but after getting to know him, he gradually did not conceal his speech and behavior, but he became more and more unlike ordinary people.
Wei Changle said: "What's more, this is the Five Poison Society, which is more lawless than other places in the Jianghu."
Tang Zhao had also heard about the Five Poison Society. In the lobby before, Xing Ji had pretended to be a member of the Five Poison Society and said: "The Five Poison Society... the name is like a demon heretic."
Wei Changle muttered: "They should be the top evil cult, at least in this area, they are the most infamous. I have heard many legends about them along the way. Not only are they cruel, but they are also the most bizarre and domineering. There are many rumors in the world. , They are simply not human beings, they are just a group of snakes, insects, rats, ants, and bugs, completely inhumane." At the end of his speech, his voice dropped to an extremely low level, becoming flat and hoarse.
Tang Zhao suddenly thought of the dead spider on Yuan Qing's head, and his heart was awe-inspiring. To be fair, Black Widow and Yuan Qing treat me well, and even if I don't really get close to them, I won't dislike them. But each of them seems to be covered with a mysterious shadow. The entire Zhuangzi has that weird, vicious and even inhuman atmosphere. The Grape Courtyard is not special.
Wei Changle continued: "For example, I heard rumors on the road that there was a gang called the Giant Ant Gang under the Five Poison Society, which razed half the county overnight."
Tang Zhao repeated: "Raze it?"
Wei Changle said: "It literally means that the giant ant gang released hundreds of millions of ants and ate up half of the city. Not even a brick or a tile was left."
Tang Zhao had goosebumps all over his body and said, "Is this a monster?"
Wei Changle said: "There must be some absurdity here, but we have also seen incredible true things. Who knows which one is true and which one is false?"
The more Tang Zhao thought about it, the more his teeth became sore, and said: "They are practicing evil skills, right? Driving insects... Is this what we want to practice?"
Wei Changle said carefully, "I don't know if it's an evil skill, but if it's a powerful evil skill, and it's their ability to make a living, I guess it won't be spread easily, right?"
Tang Zhao understood immediately. He wanted to learn evil skills, and he had to be willing to teach him. This is someone’s special skill. How could it be taught to you so easily? It would be nice to learn some popular stuff.
Furthermore, the Inspector has already given him his own "Body Training Chapter" and his identity is already clear, so the Five Poisons Association will not regard him as one of their own, and they will have to screen the big-name goods again before they are willing to teach him.
After Wei Changle finished speaking, he pondered to himself and thought to himself: Although Mr. Wu was invited by the Five Poison Society, it was the District Inspector who made the decision. If Mr. Xing really values Brother Zhao, what he wants to do is not very dangerous, then The martial arts arranged must be ordinary things, so that Brother Zhao and Wudu will not be too involved, and the inspection department will make other arrangements later. If it is only used urgently once, or the task is too dangerous, and there is a narrow escape, then maybe some evil skills that are counterproductive will be instilled, or even drugs will be used to encourage them. If that is the case...
It’s time to make plans early!
Wei Changle did not mention his concerns to Tang Zhao. For the time being, he only needed to speculate on others with the darkest thoughts.
In the afternoon, someone finally informed them that the teacher was coming.
The person who came was a big man, nearly ten feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. He wore short clothes and cloth shoes, and his muscles were almost bulging out of his clothes.
Tang Zhao raised his head and looked at the big man with the words "Lian Jia Zi" on his face. He felt respectful and raised his hands: "Are you the teacher?"
The big man said with no expression on his face: "The teacher calls you. Come with me."
The two were led to a small independent courtyard at the end. There was also a small playground in the courtyard. Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs. At this time, the door to the upper room was ajar, with thick curtains hanging down. There was another big man who was as strong as this man guarding the door. He said with a smile: "Are these two? Hey, they are just like little chickens."
The cold-faced man didn't answer and said, "Who is Tang Zhao?"
Tang Zhao stepped forward to answer the call, and the big man said: "You go in first, sir, waiting for you inside."
The two teenagers looked at each other and Tang Zhao said, "I'll go in first this time."
When you walk into the room, the door curtain hangs naturally.
The light suddenly dimmed, and gradually dimmed from the door to the inner hall.
The innermost part of the inner hall is almost hidden in shadow.
"This way."
The sound came, as bright as a bell.
Tang Zhao turned around suddenly, and the voice came from the west room. There is a screen between the two rooms. There seemed to be a glimmer of light coming from the other side of the translucent amber screen.
Carefully walking around the screen, my eyes suddenly opened up.
The windows were open, and the midday sun was shining abundantly. A man was sitting at the table, bathed in the light, and his body was golden, as if he had a layer of golden hair.
Golden Retriever...Bear King?
Tang Zhao suddenly thought of such a word.
That man is too tall, too wide, too bearish!
If the two men outside are strong men, then this man is a real human bear. His broad body almost blocks all sight lines. The tables and chairs used by normal humans are not worthy of his model. They are small and small. Like a toy. The two giant palms resting on the table almost covered the entire tabletop.
"Yeah..."
Tang Zhao's back molars moved slightly, and he suddenly thought: If he wanted to eat me, how many bites would it take?
One bite and your brain is gone, right?
He was thinking wildly as he looked at the bear, and the man looked at him too.
This condescending look comes from the natural height difference between the two. Although Tang Zhao was standing, the other party was sitting.
After a moment, the other party said: "Tang Zhao?"
Tang Zhao stood upright, straightened his body, cupped his hands and said, "Teacher."
The man said: "My surname is Guan. You call me Teacher Guan."
Tang Zhao said seriously: "Teacher Guan." His etiquette has always been good, and it is good at all times.
The man nodded, his expression not necessarily too ferocious, and said: "Come, let's show off."
