Horse steps and chopping wood have almost become Mu Sheng's daily routine before his daily practice, and now, three or four months have passed, and Mu Sheng's swordsmanship has also improved greatly.

In the dense forest on the outskirts, Xiaoyi and Mu Sheng are learning from each other.

The two of them intersected with their swords, Mu Sheng's flowing water stabbed rapidly, stabbing straight towards Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi did not hide, Mu Sheng was frightened and anxious, the sword was halfway through, and turned abruptly, Xiaoyi held Xingyun and went straight away, Mu Sheng's internal strength was invincible, his heart was beating, he mustered up the strength of his life, protected himself with flowing water, and was hit by the sword qi and retreated several meters backwards.

"Why did you stop?" Xiao Yi held the sword behind him with his back hand and asked.

Mu Sheng was injured by the sword qi, half kneeling on the ground, a fishy sweetness welled up in his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spat out the ground.

"It's just a competition, you can really do it." Mu Sheng stood up on the ground with running water, frowned and said.

"Why did you stop, I ask?" Xiaoyi repeated it again.

"Are you stupid? If you don't stop, I'll stab you! Mu Sheng shouted helplessly, didn't he ask knowingly, wouldn't he stab him if he didn't put away his sword.

"If you don't hurt me, you'll hurt yourself." Xiaoyi's face was calm and said flatly.

Only then did Mu Sheng realize that yes, the moment he attacked him, he didn't hesitate at all.

"Still don't understand? You can't bear to hurt others, but others don't necessarily do the same to you. No matter who their lives are threatened, the first thing they have to do is to protect themselves. Xiaoyi said as he walked towards her.

She immediately understood that Xiaoyi was just warning her that she couldn't show mercy to anyone, and once she softened her heart, then only she would be hurt.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

"As long as you understand, my sword qi hurts you a lot, are you okay?" Xiaoyi regained her former gentleness and asked softly.

"It's okay, I'll be cured in a few days." Mu Sheng shook his head.

"Although your swordsmanship has improved a lot, your internal strength is still too weak, so you can't withstand the attack at all, and we have only used two percent of your strength, and you are already injured." Xiaoyi's face was worried.

"But after all, the internal force can not be improved in a short period of time, and now that the appointment of half a year is imminent, what better way is there?"

Mu Sheng didn't know anything, but he was originally a halfway monk, and now he hasn't learned the magic moves thoroughly, let alone the strong internal strength.

"Let's be here today, and I'll go back and find out if there's a way to go."

"Well, that's all there is to it."

Subsequently, the two returned to Qingxiao together.

After returning to Qingxiao, Xiaoyi has been sitting in the study, flipping through various books and classics, and he didn't even show up for dinner.

Chen Yi couldn't rest assured, so he came to the study with the food, wanting to see what Xiaoyi was busy with.

Pushing the door in, he saw Xiaoyi with a sad face and kept flipping through the books under his hand.

"You've been in the study since you came back today, what are you looking for, you can't even take care of eating?"

As soon as he heard Chen Yi's voice, Xiao Yi raised his head and muttered, "It's nothing, it's just to see if there are any ways to help with cultivation." ”

"What's the matter, isn't it going well to teach Mu Sheng's girl? Is she too stupid and too slow to learn? ”

"That's not it, although she doesn't have a foundation, she can be regarded as wise and transparent, and she learns very quickly."

Xiao Yi naturally couldn't tell Chen Yi about his worries, Chen Yi was already a little prejudiced against Mu Sheng, if he found a flaw at this time, he would definitely oppose it.

"Well, she'd better be like you say, and if she's really stupid and stupid, I can send her away sooner." Sure enough, he guessed that Chen Yi would definitely say this.

"Chenyi, you know that she is useful to our plan, you don't say such things again in the future."

"I know, I know, I don't talk about this. I have one more thing today" Chen Yi took out a secret book from his arms and shook it in front of Xiaoyi's eyes, "What is this?" Xiaoyi asked.

"I want to know, this is a secret book I got by chance, and guess what it's in!" Chen Yi pretended to be a mysterious way.

"Of course I can see it, if you don't guess, forget it if you don't say it." Seeing that Xiaoyi ignored it, Chen Yi suddenly lost his fun, every time.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you that it's not okay, this secret book is full of all kinds of evil secret techniques, all of which are very powerful." What Chen Yi said was mysterious.

Xiaoyi took the secret book and flipped through it, but after turning a few pages, one of the pages attracted him.

"I'll confiscate your secret art for the time being." Xiaoyi closed the secret book and pretended to be serious.

"Why? This is what I found, why do you want to confiscate it!? Chen Yi was naturally reluctant and asked rhetorically.

"What if there is any secret art in it, and you secretly learn it? So I'll keep it for you for the time being. "What Xiaoyi said is the truth.

"Then you won't learn secretly if you keep it? I see you're more suspicious than I am. Chen Yi retorted.

"It's useless to talk too much, I won't give it to you anyway, okay, it's not too early, you have to take your disciples to practice tomorrow, hurry up and go back to sleep."

Seeing Xiaoyi's resolute face, Chen Yi knew that it was impossible to return to the secret book, so he could only leave sullenly, and did not forget to tell Xiaoyi when he left: "You remember to eat." ”

"Got it." Xiaoyi should arrive.

After confirming that Chen Yi was gone, Xiaoyi opened the secret book again and found the page.

"The technique of connecting the qi and veins - connecting the two people's veins, taking the internal force as the guide, the person with strong internal force is the main, crossing its internal force to the body of the person with weak internal force, detaining its heart vein, connecting with it, so that the qi and veins are connected, and they are born and die together."

The hard work pays off, Xiaoyi didn't expect that he would be able to find a way so quickly, but Xiaoyi also understood that once he used such a technique, what the price he would have to bear, but the current situation could no longer allow him to think so much.

He tore it off and went to the garden.

He thought that Mu Sheng would hesitate, but he didn't expect her to be more crisp than he promised, and from that day on, the qi veins of the two were connected, and almost half of Xiaoyi's internal force was transferred to Mu Sheng, and after that, the same crimson dark pattern appeared on both of their wrists as a mark.

Chen Yi later secretly went back to find the secret book, and after finding it, he found that the secret book was missing a page, but he didn't know what was recorded, but he could vaguely guess that Xiao Yi must have hidden something from him, and after he took the secret book away, Xiao Yi never asked him about it, and he was even more sure that the missing page must have some ulterior secret.

Later, he learned that that kid Xiaoyi had done such a big thing without him, but helplessly, after all, he was his brother who was like a brother, what could he do with him.
