Looking at Han Jie's lost back when she left, my heart was also mixed.

Actually, I really want to renew my relationship with her. However, since she chose to leave me five years ago, and I chose Xia Yin City, now she and I are no longer the same people!

It is difficult to reunite when the mirror is broken, and it is difficult to collect it when it is covered with water. Since they all chose to give up at the beginning, it is even more difficult to pick it up now. What has been lost has been lost, and the past that cannot be returned cannot be returned after all!

At the same time, I secretly made up my mind that I still had to find a way to go down to the underworld to find Liu Han! Whether she wants to accept me or not, and how difficult it is to do so!

Because, only she and I can really be regarded as a pair of "bitter mandarin ducks"!

With such mixed feelings, the next day I hurried back to Zuoqiu City in accordance with the agreement with Lord Xiao. This trip home, although it was a failure emotionally, it was a great gain in career. Treasure knives, mental methods, recipes, and a jar of mysterious void melon seeds, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a full return!

The first thing to do is to prepare the ingredients for the meal, because it takes a lot of time to prepare. The yellow spring water needed for "Yellow Spring Soup" and the yin vein soil needed to grow the void melon must be collected in the yin veins outside the slave gate, but I don't want to go over to dig the soil and carry the water myself, after all, such a strange behavior is too eye-catching. So, I thought of asking someone for help.

At present, the one I trust the most in Zuoqiu City and is also suitable for doing this is the big stupid cow Lu Dian. He is now a ghost leader in the ghost gang honeycomb, and he is responsible for bringing a group of ghost slaves to the yin vein to collect yin yuan every day.

I asked Lu Dian to go to the Yin Vein and dig a large pot of soil for me first. Because these yin vein soils contain the dense yin qi in the yin veins, they are especially suitable for planting void melons. Of course, when the Yin vein soil leaves the Yin vein, the Yin Qi content will gradually decrease, so it is necessary to change the soil frequently.

I planted the Void Melon in a large flower pot, and I also asked Lu Dian to bring a bucket of underground river water to the Yin vein and put it in the Yin vein, absorb enough Yin Qi and then retrieve it.

Lu Dian didn't doubt him, and didn't ask much, so he said, "This is also easy to do!" ”

He directly told one of his old ghost slaves to do what I asked, and he did it properly. Every day, I brought it in and Shen Shi brought it back, this is the most basic yellow spring water.

I watered half of the yellow spring water I got for the void melons in the pot, and kept half for the soup.

It is said that the wild Void Melon, which originally grew in the thin Yin veins, is rare, and few people pay attention to it, and it is estimated that only the people of the Ghost Diet Gate know its true value. However, now the wild Void Melon is hard to find, and it is almost extinct.

After planting it so carefully for about a month, the void melon is considered ripe. The grown Void Melon is completely transparent, with a body and no body, and only a few small gray melon seeds show its presence. As Master said, the Void Melon, not a single bit of Yang Qi can be touched, not even the hands of Yin Xiu. So I had to carefully harvest it with a knife and store it in a ruyi bowl.

When the knife cut the bowl, I felt in my hand that the void melon was indeed there. Its shape is about oval, the skin is smooth, about a pound and a half heavy, and it feels crispy when cut into pieces, so it should taste similar to winter melon.

After cutting the pieces, I had to carefully pick off a few small Void melon seeds and put them in a clay pot for preservation. After the Yin Vein soil in the big pot is replaced, you can plant it again.

After the materials were ready, I did a few experiments to make comparisons. If you only use the void melon and the primary yellow spring water to cook it into a light yellow spring soup and eat it, the promotion effect on yin gong cultivation is only better than nothing, and it is even far less obvious than the previous Shiquan dog meat pot. Therefore, it is still necessary to be willing to spend money and add enough materials to show its efficacy.

Porpoise meat and glacial snails are also not valuable ingredients, and the effect of improving them is also limited. In the end, I gritted my teeth and bought the most expensive Stygian Sea Shell and added it to it, and boiled it into a virtual melon Stygian Shell Yellow Spring Soup. The effect was much stronger, but my wallet was empty quickly.

There's no way, maybe you really have to wait until you can enter the underworld, and then find a way to get real yellow spring water, maybe you can save some money at that time!

After returning to the training ground of the Black Tiger Regiment, I began to try to practice the normal sword.

I only saw this treasure knife used by the master once, and that was when the Gu family dealt with the skeleton ghosts raised by Xiao Jiuhe. I still can't forget the power it burst out of Master's hands at that time, and now that it has finally reached my hands, I can't wait to put it to great use!

However, in the three days of training before the next competition, I practiced several sets of knife techniques that I had learned one by one with the usual knife, but I always felt a little awkward. In addition to the fact that the length of the knife is shorter than that of the original short knife, the weight of the blade has also increased, and it is necessary to readjust to the feel.

"Smack!"

"Ouch!"

I was kicked in the stomach by Yang Yi during a training battle and fell to the ground screaming in pain. Yang Yi took the opportunity to jump over and pointed another wooden sword at my throat. I lost!

But I was a little embarrassed to lose. In order to be able to use the usual knife in actual combat as soon as possible, I specially found Yang Yi to spar with him, he used a double wooden sword, and I used a normal knife with a sheath.

In Fang Cai's last move, Yang Yi fired with both swords. I blocked one of the swords with my shield, and naturally slashed the other with my usual sword. The tactics are right, and the effect is amazing, so good that even I can't believe it: the sheathed Ru Usual knife actually cut off the wooden sword directly!

I was stunned for a moment, but I was kicked over by Yang Yi, who reacted quickly, and pointed a sword at my throat. This one was a mess!

"Brother Zhai, what's wrong with you? Why are you frozen? Yang Yi also saw the clue and asked me.

"Alas, the last slash of your sword was too strong and was confiscated, it should be because the blade is too heavy!" I replied helplessly.

"But you're a good knife! I can cut my wooden sword through the scabbard! "Yang Yi curiously borrowed my usual knife to see that the treasure knife was not unsheathed, and the scabbard was intact.

He pulled out the normal knife, except for the mysterious charm engraved on the knife, the whole knife was indeed unpretentious and unremarkable.

"I'm going to play tomorrow, should I change the knife?" I was like, "I'm not using this knife very well, so why don't I use my old short knife as usual?" ”

Yang Yi also nodded: "Well, for the sake of prudence, I also think you don't need to be in such a hurry to change your main attack weapon!" ”

At this time, Master Xiao also came over. Although he is old, his eyesight is still very powerful, and he saw the usual knife in Yang Yi's hand at first glance.

"Where did this knife come from?" He asked in surprise.

"Brother Zhai's."

"Show me!"

Xiao Tuan Master took the usual knife, turned it over and looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but admire: "What a knife!" ”

It seems that he is also a knowledgeable person.

"Domineering and restrained! Rigidity and softness! Invincible! What is this knife called? ”

"Treasure knife as usual!"

"As usual?" Master Xiao was also stunned for a moment, but then sighed again: "Good name!" The avenue is invisible, and the big thing is as usual! Good! Good! Good! ”

Actually, I'm not very interested in the name of the usual knife, and I always feel that it deserves a more awesome name. But perhaps the idea of the masters is different from those of us who are small characters, and they prefer to play tricks and take a literary crepe name.

"Where did you get this knife?" Master Xiao asked me again.

"My master passed it on to me!"

"Your master is ......"

"Feng Daozhang!"

Lord Xiao was slightly taken aback again: "Feng Daozhang, the former head of the imperial dining room of the underground government? ”

"It's my master!"

"No wonder!" He smiled strangely, "With such a master, it is not surprising that you use such a weapon. However, the shield wok and this normal knife are indeed rare good tools! ”

Since the group leader Xiao was very interested in my normal knife, I took the opportunity to ask him: "Group leader, the normal knife is indeed a treasure knife. But I've practiced many times in the past two days, but I still can't get used to it. Do you think I should use the original short knife for tomorrow's match, or should I use this normal knife? ”

Master Xiao returned the usual knife to me and said, "Since this is a treasure that your master taught you, you should use it, otherwise it would be a pity to waste it!" ”

"But with it, the knife techniques I used to practice are no longer applicable!"

Master Xiao disagreed with my statement, shook his head and said: "Whether it is a sword technique or a sword technique, there is no such thing as whether it is applicable or not." Practicing the knife technique to the highest depth, it is the unity of the knife and the man, and there is no trick to win! Since your sword name is 'as usual', you should relax and make moves as usual! ”

I still smiled bitterly: "My master also said this truth, but I don't feel that easy to use it." When I fought against Yang Yi just now, I made the usual moves, and I was able to cut off his wooden sword through the scabbard. But because the blade was too heavy, I couldn't get it back, and he caught my flaw and won with one blow! ”

"I saw your battle from afar. You didn't lose in moves, not in weapons, but in your own confidence! Xiao Tuan Leader still shook his head and insisted on his point of view.

"Self-confidence?" I was stunned, am I not confident enough?

"It's not your own self-confidence, it's your confidence in the usual knife!"

"Faith in the knife......" I seemed to begin to understand what he meant.

"If a swordsman can't even trust his own sword, then how can he achieve the unity of a knife and a man?" Master Xiao smiled meaningfully, "If you're still afraid that you won't be able to control this normal knife, I'll give you a suggestion." You just need to simplify the original sword techniques and moves, and show them more domineering and unreasonable! Especially when it comes to the knife, don't hesitate! Do you understand? ”

"More domineering, more unreasonable......"

"That's right!" Master Xiao patted me on the shoulder and encouraged, "Bring your usual knife for tomorrow's game, you will learn how to use it!" ”
