C11 Residence in damien
The three of them were pressed down in the hall, surrounded by the blade-wielding people. The one sitting in the middle of the hall, who looked like a scholar, was glaring at them.
The scholar said, "Who the hell are you people? You actually dare to use my Great Ming Sect's nameplate to swindle and swindle around here!? "Whether he's a spy or not, hurry up and tell us!"
Shaoming quickly said, "Why are you guys so unreasonable?!" We are Old Tie's friends. Old Tie doesn't know if he's dead or alive, so he told us to bring a sign for you guys. Hurry up and send someone to save him! "
Hearing this, the scholarly man was stunned, "What's your relationship with Old Tie? Why didn't he mention you? Did you steal Old Tie's tag to trick us into going into his ambush? Tell me!"
Shaoming said, "How can you be so detestable! What do you want us to believe in?! "
At this moment, another person in scholar's clothes came up to the person on the chair and whispered to him. The person then waved his hand and said, "Let's suppress them first. We'll talk about it when things are confirmed!"
As a result, everyone tied up the three of them and pressed them down.
The three of them were pressed down the corridor and locked in a basement.
Shaoming was angry and annoyed, but he still felt a bit scared. He hastily asked Old Li, "Old Li, who are these people exactly?"
Old Li said, "I've heard Old Tie talk about the Great Ming Sect before, it seems like they are people of the Great Ming Sect. The Great Ming Sect is the church that was secretly supported by the Feudal Lord, after the Great Finger King was overthrown by the new dynasty, they have been secretly plotting a rebellion and their power cannot be underestimated!"
If Shaoming heard it, wouldn't that be the same as the world in his own world?!
"Old Brother Tie, why are you with these people?" Shaoming asked.
Old Li said, "I'm not sure about that, but Old Tie has always been a part of the martial arts world. He has involved too many things, many things that we don't understand. "Sigh!"
Shao Ming said, "Why are these people so suspicious? They don't believe it even if they have the tag Old Tie gave them. They're still not willing to send troops to save Old Tie. How hateful!"
Old Li said, "Their sect is very secretive and cautious in their actions, so they must be overly suspicious! It's fine, they will send someone to investigate, let's wait! "
Shao Ming sighed and said, "It's a pity that Old Brother Tie's fate isn't good. It's truly sad!" "Sigh!"
Old Li said, "Everything has its fate. When Old Tie stepped into the martial arts world, he predicted that such a day would come. He had told me about this before. Sigh, he just arrived a little early!"
Shaoming said, "Why is it that good people don't get paid back? Sigh!"
The younger sister consoled, "Brother Shaoming, don't worry, let's pray for Old Tie!"
Shaoming felt sad, so he closed his eyes and secretly prayed for the old beggar.
After an unknown period of time, the trio of Shaoming's group of three passed out from hunger. As they were sleeping, the door of the cell suddenly opened. A man walked in and shouted, "Come out!"
The three of them woke up, opened their eyes and slowly stood up. Then, they followed the person out of the cell.
The three of them were brought to the hall where they were originally tied up. The people sitting in the middle of the room were still the same middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, but he had now changed to a slightly amiable look. His eyes were no longer sharp as he looked at the three of them and said, "Untie them!"
When the men beside him heard this, they untied Shao Ming and the other two. The scholar said, "Sit!"
The person next to them took three more chairs. The three of them didn't know what was going on, but the atmosphere seemed much better, so they sat down.
The scholar opened his mouth and said, "We have let the three of you suffer grievances. We have already investigated this. You are really Old Tie's friends, this is really a misunderstanding! "
Shaoming quickly asked, "How is Old Tie?"
The man who looked like a scholar sighed and said, "Old Tie already died to cover your escape!"
When the three people heard this, they were greatly shocked and immediately froze in place, speechless.
The scholar continued, "Old Tie originally came back to lead his brothers and attack the government army, but unfortunately, the traitor already knew the situation of his previous residence. When he found out, it was already too late, so he retreated back to his residence to inform you that he would not let you all fall into the danger of death. "Sigh!"
The two sisters couldn't help but shed tears. Shaoming and Old Li were also sad.
Shaoming said, "Where is Old Tie's corpse now?"
The scholar said, "We have already buried him!"
"Can we go see him?" Shaoming asked.
The scholar said, "Little Spring, take the three of you to see Old Iron!"
Someone beside him replied, "Yes!"
As he spoke, he came over and asked the three people of Shao Ming's group to follow him.
On top of a hill outside the city stood a lonely grave. The person called Little Spring had brought along the three of them as he said, "This is Old Tie's grave!"
The trio lowered their heads in grief.
After paying their respects to the old beggar, the three of them followed Little Spring back to the medicine store.
The three of them were arranged to stay in their respective rooms. After going through all of this, the peaceful lives of Shao Ming and his sister were disrupted. The two of them were currently feeling lost, not knowing where to go.
In the evening, after dinner, the two of them would sit in the yard and stare at the moon in a daze.
The younger sister said, "Brother Shaoming, what should we do now?"
Shao Ming replied, "I don't know either. Why is it that destiny always causes trouble like this? Sigh, a good day is ruined just like that. Sigh!"
The younger sister said, "Right now we are in the Great Ming Sect, are we going to join them and do things for them?"
"We don't know anything about this sect, not to mention that they are the sect that is going against the Government of the Conferred Finger Kingdom. Before the dynasty is restored, it is a place where dangerous things are done, and there are too many conflicts in the martial arts world. If we join them, we might be caught in the vortex of the martial arts world, like an old beggar or your grandmother!"
The younger sister said, "But as things are now, where can we go?"
Shaoming said, "I don't know either. I'll just see how it goes!"
The two had nothing to say for a while, so they both went back to rest late at night.
The next day, Little Spring called the two of them to get up and eat breakfast. After breakfast, the scholarly middle-aged man came to the main hall. Over the past two days, Shao Ming had heard people talk about him, saying that he was the Three Purities Sect's Protector and that he was in charge of this hall.
Protector Three Purities arrived at the main hall. Many brothers of the Great Ming Sect were gathered around him, including Shao Ming and his little sister.
Protector Sanqing called out Shao Ming and his little sister, Old Li, and asked, "Now that Old Tie is dead, you guys were once his friends, and your identities have already been figured out by the government's spies. If you leave, you'll definitely be chased by the government's troops. What if you join our Great Ming Sect?"
Old Li said, "I am willing to join the Great Ming Sect! In the future, I will listen to whatever the Great Ming Sect says! "
However, Shao Ming and his sister didn't say anything as they didn't know what to do.
Everyone turned to look at the two of them. Protector Three Purities continued, "What do you think?"
The younger sister looked at Shao Ming and asked, "Brother Shaoming, what should we do?"
Shao Ming thought for a moment, then looked up at Three Purities. "Big Brother Protector, the two of us only wanted to lead a peaceful life and never thought of getting involved in any conflicts in the martial arts world. Now that something like this has happened, how about we consider it?"
Protector Three Purities laughed, "Very well, it won't be too late to join after you've thought it through. I believe you will join us sooner or later!" In the future, you guys should stay with our Great Ming Sect for the time being! "
Shaoming hastily thanked him, "Thank you, Protector Three Purities!"
Three Purities said, "Little brother, there is no need to be courteous. From now on, the Great Ming Sect is your home. Live a good life here. If you want to do something, you can have some work arranged for you!"
"Many thanks!"
Protector Three Purities said, "You can leave this matter to Little Spring. If you have any questions in the future, just ask Little Spring. Little Spring will help you solve them!"
Little Spring hurriedly said, "Yes, Protector!"
"Then we'll take our leave first!"
As he spoke, he took his sister and retreated back into his own room.
In front of the house, there was a small yard with some flowers and plants growing on it. The two of them stood in the yard and chatted.
The younger sister said, "Brother Shaoming, what should we do?"
Shao Ming said, "We have nowhere to go now, so we can temporarily stay here. However, this isn't a long-term solution. We have to find a way or else we won't be able to survive in this dangerous and chaotic world." "Oh right, why don't we use that martial arts manual that your grandmother left for you to practice and improve our martial arts a little? We won't have to worry about that anymore after we get some good martial arts!"
The younger sister said, "Yes. Let's start tomorrow! "
On the second night, the two of them took advantage of the darkness of the night to go outside to practice in seclusion.
Just like this, more days passed. Shao Ming and his sister continued to live in the Great Ming Medicine Shop. They would help organize and sell medicinal herbs, and they would also learn how to treat patients. However, they did not officially join the Great Ming Sect.
The Great Ming Sect didn't force them, and only felt that when the time was right, they would naturally join.
In the evening, Shaoming and his sister would read the martial arts manual left behind by the old woman and learn all kinds of inner force skills. Then, they would find time to take advantage of Night Walker's quietness to go outside and practice the skills.
Another month passed. Today, Shaoming and his sister went shopping on the streets. As they were walking, they suddenly saw someone performing on the streets. Their sister wanted to watch the show, so the two of them went closer to him.
He saw a few artists from the martial arts world performing all kinds of martial arts and special techniques. There were many people surrounding them, and they were all cheering from time to time.
One of them was a girl performing a walk on the steel wire. The steel wire hung from two big trees. The girl was standing on the steel wire with a long bamboo pole in her hand. She was walking slowly from one end to the other.
Everyone was worried that she would fall down.
At this moment, Shao Ming raised his head to look at her. However, the sunlight was dazzling, and the woman's face couldn't be seen clearly.
After a while, the girl finally succeeded in walking from one end of the steel wire to the other. Everyone immediately cried out in alarm.
The woman jumped down from the steel wire and clasped her fists towards the crowd. At that moment, a man brought a plate to them to demand money, and everyone began to contribute generously.
At this time, Shaoming looked at the woman walking on the tightrope and was surprised. Wasn't this Little Blue!?
Shao Ming almost cried out. At this moment, the man who asked for money walked up to Shao Ming and said, "Young Master, please give me a few!"
The man blocked Shao Ming's line of sight, making it hard to see the girl who looked like Xiaoqing. The man asked again, "Young Master, please give me some rewards!"
Seeing that Shao Ming wasn't moving, the little sister hastily pulled on his sleeves. Shaoming came to his senses, he hastily took out some copper coins and handed them over to the man. The man quickly thanked him and walked to the next person.
Shaoming quickly turned his head to look at the woman on the tightrope, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"It's too similar, could it really be Xiaoqing, but why is Xiaoqing selling her skills here?" Maybe it's just that they look similar, or maybe I just misjudged them, aiya! " Shaoming pondered.
The younger sister said, "Brother Shaoming." What's wrong with you? Why are you so distracted today? "
Shaoming said, "No problem, let's go back!"
As he said this, Shao Ming turned his head to take a look, then strode back to the medicine store with his sister.
