Zhang Lingsheng had a layer of sweat on his body and shook his head, "Stop, stop, what happened, I have demonstrated it five times, why haven't you found the trick? I said, "Soom, relax and sink as much as possible; be steady, your legs must stand firmly, and you cannot sit on the ground when you sink; be flowing, every move must be as coherent as flowing water; be quiet, don't think about anything, concentrate on practicing boxing..."

The teenagers in Yelin Town were in a hurry, and no one could make a complete bone-forging fist as if they were pretty.

"Don't you have Taoist roots? You're still so stupid? I learned it after only reading it once." Zhang Lingsheng got angry and immediately held back, "Go to have breakfast first. Maybe your Taoist roots were produced too late, but I had it at the age of eight."

Zhang Lingsheng left on his own, and the teenagers walked to the front yard dining room in shame. Xiaoqiu did not move, and it was already difficult to read. He could not let himself fall behind in boxing anymore.

Chen Hao didn't leave either. The two looked at each other, without saying a word, and each set out to practice boxing.

The venue for practicing boxing is located between the main room and the east wing room of the backyard of the museum. A half-dead and half-growing ancient tree stands in the corner of the wall to provide shade. There is also a crooked stone bench under the tree, which can sit four or five people. Chen Hao gave up after practicing boxing for a while and sat on the stone bench to watch Xiaoqiu practice boxing.

There are eight or sixty-four moves in the bone-forging fist. Xiaoqiu stopped until the fifth part, "Do you have something to come to me?"

Chen Hao laughed twice, "Brother Xiaoqiu, I think you have practiced well, Taoist Zhang loves to pick bones in eggs."

Xiaoqiu shook his head. He was still self-aware. "I can remember the moves, but I have to think and practice while I can't be 'quiet' - are you doing something?"

"Yeah." Chen Hao stood up, "But I don't know if I should say it. After all... we were the opponents in the past, so you definitely don't believe me."

The second son of the Shen family was so humble and tactful. At this moment, Xiaoqiu didn't believe in his ears and eyes, not Chen Hao. "I certainly believe in you after so many things. If you have something to do, I will say it."

"It's not my business, it's Fangfang."

"What's wrong with Fangfang?"

"Yesterday Fangfang wanted to give you his fish, why didn't you pick it up?"

"What?" Xiaoqiu thought for a while, "When did Fangfang say he wanted to give me the fish? It was obviously Erliang who wanted it."

"Fangfang looked at you several times. As soon as you open your mouth, she will give you the fish."

"She doesn't like eating fish, tell me."

"Haha, Brother Xiaoqiu, why don't you even understand this when you dare to snatch Fangfang in front of the whole town? She is embarrassed, so she has to wait for you to speak first."

Xiaoqiu scratched his head. He was very smart, but some things were always so difficult to understand. Just like his father Lao Qiu once said that the second young master of the Shen family wanted to make friends with him, but he couldn't accept it at that time. Unexpectedly, it was about to become a reality now. "So that's it, Chen Hao, you have observed it very carefully."

Chen Hao suddenly became panicked for some reason and hurriedly said, "No, I miss home and don't like to eat, so I've watched too much."

When the two arrived at the dining room, the other teenagers were almost finished. Mei Chuan'an's mother specially left them food. She was particularly enthusiastic about Xiaoqiu and had no smile in her eyes. Xiaoqiu just lowered her head to make the rice, and immediately escaped from the dining room after eating.

The teenagers were not in the mood to read and read, and spent the whole morning practicing boxing. They hoped that tomorrow would satisfy Zhang Lingsheng. They were homeless and practicing Taoism was the only way out. No one wanted to go on a business trip the first step, only Fangfang was still in the study and read piles of books.

That afternoon, while other teenagers were still practicing boxing, Xiaoqiu found an excuse to run into the study.

Fangfang sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning against a stack of books she had read. The study room was obviously much cleaned up and was much cleaner. Compared with the tall piles of books, she looked particularly thin.

"Have you practiced the boxing skills?" Hearing the footsteps, Fangfang raised her head, and a bright light flashed in her eyes, as if the wisdom in the book was leaking from here.

Xiaoqiu turned her back to the sun and found that it was more difficult than expected to do it. She coughed a few times, "That... Fangfang, would you like to accompany me to Mei Chuan'an's house tonight? Mei's grandma... said she could make delicious food."

The two eyes above the book were stunned at first, then turned into crescent moons, "Okay."

Xiaoqiu was in a good mood all afternoon and had better boxing skills than anyone else.

Although Zhang Lingsheng was not an excellent disciple of Pangshan, he was meticulous in his practice. He just got dark and went into the house to meditate. He rarely controlled the young men and never restricted them from going out. However, Xiaoqiu and Fangfang were still a little nervous when they walked out of the door, as if they were going to do something bad.

Erliang Shen Xiuwei also wanted to go with him. He was interested in the meals at Grandma Mei's house, but was stopped by Daliang Shen Xiuming and Shen Hao.

Xiaoqiu walked in front, and Fangfang followed three steps.

Jinghu Village was a little bustling in the evening, with smoke rising from cooking and fragrant vegetables coming. When they saw two disciples of Pangshan, they were as respectful and enthusiastic as ever, and gave their best food. Xiaoqiu and Fangfang both politely refused.

However, when Xiaoqiu asked an elderly villager where Mei Chuan'an's home was, the situation changed. The old man's face changed slightly, and he said vaguely that he didn't know, so he turned around and retreated to himself and closed the door.

The news spread quickly through the fence. In the next journey, no villagers came out to say hello or deliver food. Instead, they hid behind the courtyard wall and stared at the two of them with a strange look.

After passing several houses one after another, a middle-aged woman with high cheekbones leaned behind the gate of the courtyard. When the two of them walked over in confusion, she immediately asked in a mysterious tone that she had known each other for a long time: "Are you going to the Mei family in the south end of the village?"

"Yes." Xiaoqiu said.

"I advise you not to go."

"Why?" Xiaoqiu was both puzzled and a little angry. He didn't like the villagers' attitude towards the Mei family.

"Mei Chuan'an is a madman..."

"I know."

"Not only that." The middle-aged woman's voice became even lower. "When Mei Chuan'an was still a disciple of Pangshan, his mother was very proud and always felt that she was superior. When his son became demonized, the old woman could not stand the blow. Over the years, she became more and more strange, and it was a bit...unusual. She always said to people, 'If you become demons, you will take away the inner elixir? I don't believe that every disciple of Pangshan is like this. This is unfair'. You are still young, don't be deceived by the old woman. Being possessed by demons for a while will be a demon for life. Everyone knows this principle, where does it come from unfairness..."

The woman was very verbose. If she hadn't said a few more words, Xiaoqiu might have been shaken. However, the teenagers in Yelin Town had just survived the invasion of the demon species and were particularly sensitive to the words "being possessed for a moment and being a demon for the rest of their lives".

"Thank you for your reminder." Xiao Qiu interrupted the woman, "But I have already agreed to the Mei family, so I have to go there no matter how I have to go."

The woman didn't care about the other party's attitude and said to the backs of the two: "Don't believe a word about Mei Crazy Man. He always told others that he had learned a new method, but it was actually all lie!"

When he reached a place where no one was around, Xiaoqiu stopped and turned around and said, "Fangfang, you go back to the museum, I'll go by myself."

"No, I'll go with you, we agreed." Fangfang's expression seemed to be stronger than Xiaoqiu, and she was not scared by the village woman at all.

"Actually, there is a reason for me to go to the Mei family." Xiaoqiu decided to say more to Fangfang. "When I first met Mei Chuan'an at the gate, he glanced at me. His eyes... suddenly emitted light, not like a madman at all, but seemed to recognize me. Later, Taoist Zhang said that he was Zuo Liuying's apprentice, and I had a feeling that it was not accidental for Mei Chuan'an to run to the gate of the museum."

Fangfang was stunned, "Can the head of the Ban Secret Department hate us to this extent, even the deviled disciples need to use it?"

"I'll check it out tonight anyway."

Grandma Mei had already been waiting at her doorstep and prepared a sumptuous dinner, including a chicken, a duck and a fish.

Simple and neat, these two words can almost cover everything in Jinghu Village, and the same is true for Mei Chuan'an's family. The tables and chairs are all made of wood and painted with raw paint. It seems that they have been used for many years. The inside and outside the house are spotless. Although there are chickens, ducks, pigs and other poultry in the yard, there is no odor.

Xiaoqiu didn't see Mei Chuan'an, "Where is Taoist Mei?" In the Nine Daotong, Taoist priest is the most common name. Xiaohe said it casually, but Grandma Mei was so excited that she burst into tears. "It's been a long time since no one called Shaoan that. He is in the back garden, he... I can't let him run around in the village anymore."

Thinking of the strange expressions of the villagers, Xiaoqiu was a little indignant, especially the food on the table was so delicious, and he was even more upset by the Mei family. "I used to think that the people in Jinghu Village were very enthusiastic, but I didn't expect..."

Grandma Mei shook her hand quickly, "It's not about the villagers' business, it's my son... He's fine most of the time, but sometimes he suddenly becomes manic, breaking things in the village, and hurting several children. Alas, this is all fate."

"How long has Taoist Mei been like this?" Fangfang asked. She ate a few bites of each dish and soon became full.

"It's exactly ten years old. I'm sorry, he's only thirty-eight years old. If there's nothing like this..."

Speaking of the saddest part, Grandma Mei stopped crying, her expression was indifferent and calm. It was a resigned attitude and was ready to face the worst.

Xiaoqiu glanced at Fangfang, "We are full, go see Taoist Mei."

Behind the three rooms is a square vegetable garden with all kinds of vegetables planted. Near the back window is a stone pier of three feet high. Mei Chuan'an, a former disciple of Pangshan and the first student of the Ban Secretology Department, has a thick straw rope tied around his waist and is bound to this stone pier.

Xiaoqiu felt very nervous. When she thought of herself eating and drinking in the room, Mei Chuan'an was standing outside the room like a prisoner. He felt very uncomfortable. Fangfang was obviously like him and exclaimed softly.
