Fang Xie didn't go out again after returning to his room, closed the window and practiced a few times in the house. It is still to practice the right hand first and then the left hand, although this kind of preparation was not used in the examination of the Martial Arts Academy, but Fang Jie's cautious personality dictated that he always felt that this left-handed one-style knife was well hidden, and sooner or later he could save his life. This feeling may just be caused by worries about your future, but it's never a bad thing to be prepared.

The old lame man relied on the fierce style of the knife that he became famous for when he was young, and it is obviously not suitable for him to use it at his current age. In fact, there is something cowardly in Fang Jie's character. This style of sword practice has been practiced for a long time, and he himself has not noticed that the hidden cowardice is gradually disappearing.

People are always changing, and Fang Xie insisted on not killing people when he was in Fan Gu.

But when he got out of Fangu City, he had to start killing.

His mind also began to shift from a purely past-life modern man, and this adaptation to the environment can be said to be progressive. It is not possible for anyone to suddenly go from a world of peace and stability and the rule of law to a world where people sometimes have to kill people and there is no culpability for them. If there is such a person, then he must have been a vicious person in his previous life.

It took a long time to understand this change, but even then he was still resistant to killing.

The old lame man gave him a knife that was too short, to be more precise, a knife that had been cut off. The blade is only half of its original, and the port is very flat, which should have been cut off by some sharp weapon. Fang Xie tried, and this residual knife was very hard and sharp. The standard horizontal knife made by Da Sui Seiko is already very good, but this residual knife can be easily cut.

So Fang Xie was very curious, what kind of divine weapon cut off the old lame's weapon back then?

Although the remnant knife is very short, it happens to play the close-quarters and ruthless moves of the one-style knife better. And Fang Jie's physique determines that he must fight in close quarters against others. Only those who can practice, and even those who have a high level of cultivation can resist the sword. For example, the old man in the royal blue robe, his sword is both tangible and invisible.

Fang Xie practiced the knife, just looking for a quick word. Trick is the essence of a knife. Fast is where the method of a knife lies. Only by doing both the words treacherous and fast can the power of the one-style knife be revealed.

After practicing the knife, Fang Jie, who was sweating, sat down cross-legged at the head of the bed. Close your eyes and start feeling your muscles. He was clearly not satisfied with what he now knew was the potential of muscles to defend passively, and he had never been a passive person. After striking at the enemy, the party will lose this strength.

If you can control your muscles at will, then you will be able to realize the potential of this powerful body. Cross your knees and close your eyes to try to control your muscles in a meditative way. But it's easier said than done, but how easy is it to concentrate all your minds without a single distraction?

The more cautious and cautious people are, the less easy it is for their minds to be at ease.

He tried to make himself do it, and his muscles could react even when there was no external force. The idea is simple, but the implementation is incredibly difficult.

He started by thinking about meditating to control his muscles. For example, if a drop of water falls somewhere in his body, then the corresponding muscles will harden to block the external force. This is passive, and the active that Fang Xie wants is to make changes in the muscles without the action of external forces.

But he failed.

After meditating for an hour, he felt that he had been able to concentrate and dedicate himself wholeheartedly, but he still had no way to control a certain part of his muscles. The body does not move, and the muscles do not obey.

Fang Xie changed his approach after pondering, giving up trying to control a certain part of the muscle. Instead, turn to meditation and let the muscles of your whole body change. It may seem that controlling the whole body is more difficult than controlling a little, but it is actually much easier. The difficulty of overall change is actually lower than that of general unchanged local changes.

It's hard to get one part of your body to harden and keep the rest of your body in its original state. But to change the body completely, the requirements for mental control are much lower.

But the solution failed again.

After it was completely dark, Fang Xie still couldn't change his physical state at will. When he stays still, his muscles are loose. No matter how hard he tried in his mind to change his muscles, he never succeeded. Pure meditation did not allow the solution to find a way to control the muscles.

It is only when you move that your muscles change.

For example, the fist clenches drive the muscles in the arms. But if you don't move, how can your muscles change?

Fang Xie got into the tip of a bull's horn, unable to extricate himself.

The Kirin stood guard at the door, looking back from time to time at the solution he had pondered. He frowned slightly, but he couldn't guess what Fang Xie was doing, but he knew that Fang Xie must have encountered a problem. And this honest man had no way to help Fang Jie, so he could only stand by his side with all his heart.

No one wanted to walk past him and get close to Fang Jie.

……

……

When the sun rose the next day, Zhang Qi was waiting at the door of Fang Xie early. Yesterday, Professor Mo Wanwu made a bet with the student named Liu Shuang, and Fang Xie and Zhang Qi were very interested. After all, this is a competition involving scouts, and both of them are the best among the border scouts.

"How do you think today's competition will be played?"

Zhang asked as he walked.

Fang Xie smiled and said, "It's nothing more than letting that Liu Shuang take most of the students as a team, and then the professor takes a few students as a team." However, the side with a large number of people cannot be left behind. So, the professor took a big advantage. This kind of competition actually has no practical significance. I can't even understand how a professor of the Martial Arts Academy could be angry with a student who has little knowledge. ”

"I really like this kind of character."

Zhang Mad smiled and said, "It's very similar to our border army." ”

"Yes!"

Fang Xie nodded and said, "They are all people with true temperaments, not as pretentious as others." ”

Zhang Mad snorted, and after being silent for a while, he didn't speak, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, obviously because he was difficult to say something.

Fang Xie smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You seem to be embarrassed by this, let's say, do you have a crush on a female student and want me to help you match?" ”

"Not ......"

"What's that?"

Fang asked.

Zhang Mad's face flushed slightly, and he opened his mouth and finally shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

"You treat me as a friend?"

"Naturally!"

"Then say!"

Fang Jie...... I'm too embarrassed to speak. ”

"W-!"

Fang Xie looked at his twisted appearance, and couldn't help but exclaim slightly: "You can't have a crush on me, right?!" ”

"Fuck off!"

Zhang scolded wildly, hesitated for a while, and said, "Chatting with Brother Mo last night, both of us had a headache...... You know, we are all from the border army, and the salary is low, and this martial arts academy needs money everywhere, and meals are not free...... Both of us, both ......."

"I see!"

Fang Xie nodded, said wait for me, then turned around and ran back to his room, snatched some silver tickets from Qilin's hand, trotted back and said with a smile: "Look at my friend, it's too picky." The money is in his hands, and I must beg him. I also did some small business in my spare time when I was in Fangu, so I still had some money to spare. You and Brother Mo use these first, of course, you have to pay them back. ”

If it weren't for the last four words, Zhang Qi might not have received the silver ticket handed over.

"Not much, a few hundred taels."

Fang Xie scratched his hair and said, "After arriving in the imperial capital, I looked at it for a long time, and found that there was no business that others could not do well. If you want to get rich, it's hard. ”

"You're a soldier, how can you still do business?"

Zhang Qiang was surprised: "Isn't this being ridiculed when it goes out?" Soldiers in business, this ...... Not good. ”

"Do you want to go hungry or be laughed at?"

"I ......"

Zhang was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "A penny is difficult to defeat a hero." If it weren't for the fact that Brother Mo and I were a little lavish after we arrived in the imperial capital, the subsidy money issued by the imperial court would be enough. But you know, Brother Mo's character, when he goes out with people, he naturally doesn't allow others to pay. I went back and forth, and my money ran out. ”

"I understand!"

Fang Xie nodded and said, "Our brothers are not outsiders, so why be embarrassed to say it." ”

Zhang Yan bowed his head, as if trying to hide what was in his eyes. But Fang Xie was still keenly aware that there seemed to be a kind of resentment and madness in his arrogant eyes, although it was fleeting, but it was so intense. But Fang Xie didn't care too much, he just thought that he was embarrassed to be arrogant.

"Silver ......"

Zhang Mad sighed and muttered, "I have been born and died in Northern Xinjiang for so many years, and the silver I got in exchange is not enough to eat. ”

Fang Xie patted him on the shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.

……

……

In the middle of the jungle

Zhuo Buyi's face suddenly changed, and he whispered to the others: "There are people coming from behind, and the speed is very fast." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three reacted immediately. The proprietress Du Hongxian stretched her figure, jumped lightly onto a big tree, and hid her figure with the help of dense branches and leaves. Linan pulled the young man by his hand, and the two of them hid behind a large rock.

And Zhuo Buyi didn't move, standing there with his hands in his hands looking in the direction they came. It seems that they are just hiding at random, but if someone peeks from a high place, they can find that the position of the other hidden people and Zhuo Buyi is very delicate, and if someone gets close to Zhuo Buyi, they will immediately fall into the encirclement of the four of them.

The person who came was not an enemy, and when the blood-red robe appeared in Zhuo Buyi's eyes, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed.

It's a crane man.

"Dao Chief, why are you here?"

The young man leaning out from behind the stone asked curiously.

"I've seen Your Highness"

The crane Taoist first leaned down slightly to salute, and then replied, "I chased all the way due west, but I never found a trace. Later, I received a message from the flying pigeon, knowing that you had chased you into the mountains, so I rushed over immediately. ”

"We have enough men."

The young man smiled.

"I came to ask His Highness to return to Chang'an immediately at the behest of His Majesty."

The crane said.

"Huh? How did the Emperor know? ”

The young man was stunned, then shook his head and said: "I won't go back, I won't go back if I don't catch the bald donkey who dares to be presumptuous in Chang'an, I will never go back, what, do you think I will drag you back, so you moved out of my father to press me?" ”

"Naturally not, although His Highness is young, he is amazingly talented, and the Great Sui is so wide, and I can't find any young man who can compare to His Highness. But this matter is extremely dangerous after all, how can Your Majesty rest assured that you are in danger? ”

"I'm not going back!"

The young man stomped his feet and said, "You still dare to capture me?" ”

"Don't dare...... But His Highness can't help but return. ”

The crane man glanced back and said, "Because they have come to invite you." ”

The young man glanced into the distance, and then was shocked: "Give the camp?!" Father sent these perverts to arrest me! ”

Dozens of meters away, more than two dozen soldiers in black armor stood there quietly. They just stood like that, but it seemed to chill the air around them. Each of them is like a long lance that is slightly raised. Even a nine-rank master like Zhuo Buyi and them was slightly shocked when they saw these twenty or so soldiers.

Martial Arts Academy

Professor Mo Wanwu looked at the students who had already assembled, smiled and said, "Since you want to fight, you have to fight more realistically." Now set off, the goal is the mountain on the north side of Chang'an. Liu Shuang, take your thirty people all the way. Fang Xie and I were arrogant all the way, ending at the Crescent Moon Lake in the big mountain. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Shuang was stunned: "Mr. only two people?" ”

"Right"

Mo Wanwu raised his chin slightly and said, "The two of them are my scouts, and I am their army!" ”
