Zhao Lei's poisonous dwelling was filthy and stank, with chaotic scenery in the courtyard. The walls were crawling with poisonous insects and beasts, and the corners were piled with "earthenware," inside which venomous snakes, scorpions, and maggots fought and devoured each other.
Martial Artists practice Martial Arts, not just for brute force. Comprehending the heavens, understanding nature, and realizing the myriad ways... that is what they seek. Some martial artists are quite ruthless, but it does not hinder their understanding of the universe. Their homes may be bloody or frightening... not all are peaceful, elegant, and fresh, but one can often see their understanding of Martial Arts.
A chaotic dwelling like this shows Zhao Lei's lack of foundation. Although Hao Qingshe was her master and taught her Poison Skill, he never seriously instructed her.
