There is only an eternal cause, and there is no eternal power.

Animal husbandry, an industry that has existed since ancient times, has been the basis for countless people's survival, and it has been the case in the past, and it is believed that it will be the case in the future.

But no force can exist forever, even if it is a super empire that is at its peak, it cannot get rid of the final result of falling apart, even if there is a peerless Tianjiao, turning the tide and crisscrossing the seas, it can only save the crisis for a while, but cannot protect the situation for eternity.

For example, Luo Zhicheng, the leader of the Wanma Gang, although he had ambitions, wanted to break the superficial balance of the five major forces in Fengxin Prefecture with his own eloquence, but his ability was insufficient, coupled with bad luck, the Luo family after several generations of painstaking management of the Wanma Gang, and finally in his hands by the leading boss of the great northwest horse industry, in the cruel struggle with various forces, especially Xiangyunzhuang, ended in failure. With the end of Luo Zhicheng's life, it means that the forces belonging to the Luo family are forced to withdraw from the historical stage of the Great Northwest, and the glory of the Wanma Gang will also disappear.

The demise of the Ten Thousand Horse Gang brings out the prosperity of Xiangyunzhuang. In the martial arts training ground of Fenghe Ranch, the grand annual sacrifice ceremony came to an end with the head of Luo Zhicheng, the former leader of the Wanma Gang, falling to the ground. Next, it's time for the big bonfire ball!

The gorgeous dance posture and dazzling dance steps make the entire martial arts training ground become a sea of dance, and people enjoy joy and laughter to celebrate this special moment!

After the annual festival, Xiangyunzhuang held a large-scale annual meeting. Based on the reception of the original Wanma Gang industry, the scale of Xiangyunzhuang is unprecedentedly strong, in order to make the industries can operate smoothly and develop sustainably, reasonable arrangements for effective manpower, and the rapid formation of grassroots leaders, has become an imminent event for Xiangyunzhuang!

After three days of meetings, all appointments were completed. It is worth mentioning that with the expansion of the scale of Xiangyunzhuang, the escort force urgently needs to be strengthened, and the original Xiangyunzhuang escort team has also been improved to the Xiangyun Escort Group.

Tai Shien, the former captain of the first brigade of the Xiangyunzhuang Guards, was promoted to the head of the Xiangyunzhuang Guards Regiment. Chu Tianxiao, a member of the original Xiangyunzhuang Escort Brigade, took over the post of Tai Shien and was promoted to the captain of the first brigade of the Xiangyunzhuang Escort Regiment! At the same time, the escort regiment also added three brigades of armed escort forces, so that the defense force of Xiangyunzhuang was doubled, and a total of six major escort teams were established, each with 108 people. This force can dominate the entire Fengxin Prefecture!

Under the excellent situation that the whole Xiangyun Village is like a broken bamboo and is thriving, everyone is full of enthusiasm and devotes themselves to the thriving cause! Of course, the matter of cultivation still cannot be put down!

In such a situation, the old stone's requirements for Ye Heng suddenly increased, and Ye Heng's words were naturally not happy. After the New Year's sacrifice, the old stone suddenly increased the amount of horse grass to be cut every day to three times the original, that is to say, now Ye Heng has to cut six carts of horse grass every day!

In this way, Ye Heng once again devoted himself to a simple, regular and boring life. Every day, he keeps repeating what he did the day before, but in this boring life after day, he also has his fun. He rejoiced at the accomplishment of breaking through the limits of his physical strength, and he could feel his physical strength increasing day by day, and the speed of the knife was getting faster and faster, and he could hold on longer and longer at the fastest swing speed, and at the same time, his long career of feeding horses gave him a special bond with the ten horses, and under the guidance of the old stone, he slowly learned how to communicate with the horses.

I have to admire, Ye Heng's adaptability is extremely strong, and after a period of adjustment, he quickly adapted to the new work intensity. After less than a month, a whole six carts of horse grass will only take an hour and a half to turn into inches of forage under Ye Heng's knife. With such a speed, it can completely set off how fast his knife should be! Ye Heng's rapid improvement, the old stone saw it in his eyes, and he was happy in his heart!

Despite this, Ye Heng's promotion not only did not make the old stone relax his requirements, but instead intensified his workload! From cutting six carts of grass every day, it quickly increased to 12, 18, 30, 40, and 50!

Fifty cars! What is the concept of fifty cars? That's the storage capacity of an entire warehouse! Fortunately, there are hundreds of warehouses like Fenghe Ranch, but this can't withstand Ye Heng's crazy cultivation!

The pasture in June was fertile and beautiful, Ye Heng was dressed in a blue single coat, with a brand-new long knife stuck in his waist, and walked out of the house shirtless, at this time he was a head taller than when he first came to the ranch, and his body was several times stronger, and his strong arms showed the perfect curve of every muscle!

Looking at the long knife that had just been collared on his waist, Ye Heng smiled helplessly, this is the first one, he can't count the number of knives he can't count, the steward should know.

Now Ye Heng has long been a celebrity in Fenghe Ranch, and he is also well-known in the entire Xiangyun Village, just because he is the fastest person to change knives! A brand-new steel knife in his hand can be sharpened into a dagger in three days at most, and in the past few months, he has brought back a dagger and replaced it with a new knife almost every day. The most frustrating thing is that in the past half a month, Ye Heng has to change at least three new knives every day, and for the same reason, the previous long knife has become a child's toy-like dagger again!

These steel knives are not ordinary household kitchen knives, they are special knives used to cut horse grass, each one is doped with a small amount of Xuanyin steel, the hardness is several times that of ordinary kitchen knives, and many of the miscellaneous servants who cut grass in the pasture will change one or two a year. Now Ye Heng's worn and worn knives for half a year are less than the total amount of knives used by all other miscellaneous servants in a year.

Of course, everyone knows the reason why Ye Heng changed the knife. This also makes many people who have worked in the ranch all their lives embarrassed, and at the same time admire from the bottom of their hearts! Look at their own workload, and then look at other people's skills, we cut a month's amount is not worth the amount of other people's day, and sure enough, the goods have to be thrown away, and people have to die compared to people!

Similarly, when others ask him to get new utensils, he always pushes back and pushes back, and the words that often hang on his lips are "Isn't it very good, and it can be used for a while". But when facing Ye Heng, changing tools was a pleasure, and he complained vigorously, "It's all worn out like this, why didn't you change it earlier"?

Some people were not convinced, looking for a theory of stewardship, but the steward did not speak, and directly took out the knife used by Ye Heng and put it in front of the comer, and the comer took out the knife he wanted to change compared with the one used by others, and his own knife can be described in four words without damage, how can this make people embarrassed? Needless to say, he walked away in disgrace.

From then on, Ye Heng's name was known to everyone in Fenghe Ranch, and everyone knew it! The news of a super handyman in Fenghe Ranch naturally spread to Xiangyunzhuang.

"Ye Heng, from today onwards, you don't have to go to the warehouse to cut horse grass. The old stone appeared in front of Ye Heng and blocked his way.

"Grandpa Shi, do you really don't have to cut the grass anymore?" Ye Heng asked with some excitement. Although he had promised Lao Shi before that he would only do anything about his martial arts teaching methods, it was impossible for such a boring cultivation method to let a child who was at a lively and active age do it without rebellion in his heart! Countless times, even in his dreams, Ye Heng wanted to throw away the lawchopping knife in his hand! He complained, he hated, and even regretted! However, he had to comfort himself again and again, after all, the other party was a former martial artist, the pinnacle of the Shuntian Empire, and being able to practice martial arts under his guidance was something that many people dreamed of, how could he not cherish this opportunity?

Finally, he persevered! Finally persevered until the day when he didn't have to cut the grass anymore! Finally persevered until the day when he could learn martial arts! This made Ye Heng ecstatic, and his little face was red with excitement!

However, the old stone's next words made him fall into an ice cave!

"The grass still has to be cut!" Old Shi looked at Ye Heng, with a playful expression on his face: "It's just cutting the grass that grows on the ground!"

"Ahh

"Look at your sad face, don't forget our agreement!" reminded the old stone.

"Got it, just listen to you. Ye Heng replied weakly.

"Okay, okay, don't cry so sadly, I'll teach you something that interests you today!" The old stone stroked his beard, and laughed loudly, and Ye Heng, who was laughing, was embarrassed.

"Don't get that grass chopher back quickly, from now on, you won't need it. The old stone looked at Ye Heng, who was still in a daze, and reminded him loudly. Ye Heng agreed excitedly, and rushed away with a strange scream.

When Ye Heng followed the old stone to a vast meadow, the two stopped. The old stone suddenly had an extra long knife in his hand, and Ye Heng's eyes couldn't help but light up, this is the real knife!

I saw that the blade of this knife is like snow, the back is black like ink, three feet and three inches long, the lower straight arc, the thick back, the broad blade, the blade, the tip of the head, although it is not a famous treasure knife, it is also called hundreds of good knives!

"Ye Heng, I will teach you a set of sword techniques today, this is also the only set of martial arts I want to teach you at present, you look carefully!" Looking at the old stone's serious expression, Ye Heng nodded cautiously and stared at the old stone intently.

"This knife method is called "Qiankun Wuji Knife", which is the most basic knife method. It can be said to be the introduction of knife techniques, and it can also be said to be the essence of knife techniques, you must practice diligently in the future!" The old stone turned around and told Ye Heng, and then took a few steps forward to open a distance from Ye Heng. In vain, his eyes were round, standing tall, and in an instant, the old stone seemed to be a different person, and his posture was like a standing spear, without a trace of old age.

"The first style, stand up to split Shenzhou!" I saw the old stone take a step with his left foot, holding the knife with both hands, raising it above his head, the tip of the knife went directly to the sky, the blade forward, and then the legs were bent, the center of gravity shifted downward, and the long knife in his hand was like a thunderbolt, slashing vertically!

"The second style, cut off the mountains and rivers!" I saw the long knife that slashed straight down through an arc, both hands shoulder-to-shoulder, flat knife blade, blade to the right, and at the same time the right leg stepped forward, forward and back bow, horizontal knife sweeping, across a light and shadow.

"The third style, Qi runs through Changhong!" The left foot stepped forward, and the long knife that swept over moved over the shoulder, the blade deviated to the right thirty degrees, and then slashed diagonally to the side, and the blade crossed most of the arc in the air, falling on the left side of the body, at a thirty-degree angle with the body.

"The fourth pose, reverse the world!" This pose takes the sole of the left foot as the axis, the body rotates once, the knife goes with the person while rotating, the left hand hands hand over the knife from the back to the right hand, after the front turns, the right foot takes a step forward, the hands converge and the right side of the body to hold the knife, the blade and the body are still at a 30-degree angle, and then reverse the blade, from the bottom to the top of the knife shadow crossed.

"Fifth style, the sunset of the long river!" This time with the sole of the right foot as the axis, the left leg is withdrawn, and at the same time the knife is received to the right side of the waist with both hands, the body rotates around, the front is forward, the retracted left leg suddenly steps forward, in the form of a forward rush, the long knife in the waist is stabbed forward at this time, and the upper body is in a straight line with the blade after the stab.

Finally, the heel of the right leg is further retracted, and the body once again stands up into a spear!

"Ye Heng, have you seen it clearly? This set of "Qiankun Wuji Knife", in just five styles, includes the five most primitive uses of knives: vertical splitting, horizontal cutting, side chopping, reverse stroke, and straight stab! I just held the knife with both hands to demonstrate for you, so that it can better reflect the characteristics of the knife technique, that is, 'the knife moves are mighty, and the momentum is strong and heavy'!" After the old stone practice, he briefly explained a few words, and then directly explained the mystery of using the knife, and then continued: "There are a total of five styles of this knife method, and each style can also be used alone! After speaking, without waiting for Ye Heng to respond, he disrupted the original order, and each style became a separate move, and they practiced it several times.

Ye Heng looked very intently, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes didn't blink!

After the split-type exercise, Lao Shi continued: "This knife technique can also be used with one hand, you look carefully!" As he spoke, he first practiced it with his right hand, and then practiced it with his left hand.

At this point, Lao Shi's martial arts teaching came to an end, and no matter whether Ye Heng remembered it or not, whether he understood it or not, he didn't explain it anymore, but just told Ye Heng to practice diligently, and then threw the knife into the air, then turned around and drank wine and left.

Ye Heng stood in place, thinking back to the knife technique taught by the old stone just now, as if he was stupid. Unnoticed, the long knife that flew high into the air fell vertically, and happened to land in front of him, straight into the place where he raised his hand.
