Xie Yun knew the taste of the marrow, and cultivated the "Purple Qi Technique" more and more diligently, and the first layer of Qi cultivation had broken through unconsciously, and Xie Yun found that he had already entered without even the slightest preparation.

"Now I'm finally relieved, who dares to say that Lao Tzu is a waste of firewood!" Xie Yun thought about it, but he didn't realize that no one had ever said that he was a waste of firewood, but he just thought so.

After breaking through the first layer of Qi refining, Xie Yun continued to work hard to cultivate, trying to break through the second layer of Qi refining.

Since leading Yang Peng to solve the water monster in the morning, Xie Yun has never left the guest room since he came to the inn, and he didn't even go out to eat breakfast and dinner, and he has been cultivating until the early morning of the next day, but he has not felt the slightest hunger.

When the sun was rising, Xie Yun finally opened his eyes, refined the second layer of qi, and finally broke through!

"In the past, the apprentice was always better than the master, so how can it be done, and now the master has finally caught up!" He was in a very good mood, and he wanted to sing a song when he opened his mouth.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and Yang Peng's voice came from outside the room: "Master, it's me." ”

"Come in. ”

Yang Peng then entered the house, and his appearance simply startled Xie Yun. I saw Yang Peng's face haggard, with two dark circles hanging on his face, as if he hadn't slept all night.

This kid, shouldn't he have internal injuries from his practice, right? Xie Yun thought suspiciously, it seems that I was pushing too hard, and I had to let him slow down in the future.

"The disciple is stupid," Yang Peng said, "The disciple thought about it for a while before he understood the master's painstaking efforts. ”

Xie Yun tilted his head, which one is this singing, when did he have any painstaking thoughts?

I only heard Yang Peng continue: "Master led his disciples to kill water monsters, not just to teach his disciples." The greater the strength, the greater the responsibility, and the principle is that the disciples will break through at the time of life and death, and want to tell the disciples that when they encounter difficulties, even when they are life and death, they must not flinch and rise to the occasion; tell the disciples that there is nothing terrible about death, and let the disciples feel the fear of dying firsthand, so as to overcome the fears; and tell the disciples that in this sinister world, only strength is the most fundamental reliance, and they must be diligent and hardworking, and constantly enhance their own strength. ”

Xie Yun couldn't help but be dumbfounded, when did he become so wise and powerful, take his apprentice to kill a monster, gain some experience, earn some rewards, and he could conjure up so many deep meanings. It seems that this is all Yang Peng, a stupid boy, came up with it himself, he thought hard all night for such a thing, it seems that his worship of himself is really getting more and more out of control. Thinking of this, Xie Yun couldn't help but burst into tears, thinking that he was an unknown otaku at the beginning, and he also had a day when he was worshipped.

If you think like this, you can't say it on your lips. Xie Yun sat precariously, put on an unfathomable look and said: "Apprentice, you can understand the hard work of being a teacher, you are very pleased to be a teacher, and being a teacher in the future will make you face more experience, more life and death, can you persevere?"

Yang Peng's gaze was firm: "Since the disciple has followed the master on the path of cultivating the truth, he will definitely be firm in his mind and fearless!"

Xie Yun nodded, and was about to say something encouraging, "Knock knock!" The knock on the door sounded again.

"Who?"

"The small one is from the Dajiang Gang, and I came to deliver a message to the hero: the county commander learned that someone had killed the water monster for the people, and he had already set up a celebration banquet in Yanguilou today to reward the hero who killed the water monster, and officially read such a good news to the people in the city, and also let the people of the city see the hero's demeanor. ”

Xie Yun used to be most annoyed by dealing with officials, and besides, he didn't plan to stay in Mingyang City for a long time, it was too close to the place where the immortal book was discovered, and under the noses of those treasure hunters, it was not possible that there would be a possible surname that would be revealed, so he didn't plan to meet with the county official.

"No, no, no!" Xie Yun said impatiently, "What kind of political achievements does he want to make, let him get it himself, and let people send my apprentice's bounty over." ”

The Dajiang Gang outside the door hesitated for a while and did not leave.

"Is there anything else?" Xie Yun asked.

The gang outside the door gritted their teeth and finally said: "Please forgive the hero, the corpse of the water monster that the hero explained to us was carried away by the people of the government." ”

"How could this be!" Xie Yun was shocked, the corpse of the water monster was of great benefit to Yang Peng's cultivation of "Jiaolong Transformation" according to the immortal book, and it was actually taken away by someone like this, and he should have taken care of it himself.

"Back to the hero, the county commander wants to show the corpse of the water monster in the city, so that the people of the city will know the fate of the water monster that harmed the party. ”

"Didn't I let you take care of it?" Xie Yun said angrily, "Why did you let them take it away?"

"The hero is angry, the county order is also a parent official, what he wants, our helper wants to stop it, but it can't be stopped. ”

"Forget it," Xie Yun didn't plan to deal with a little minion, "Take me to find the county order, I want our things back." ”

Xie Yun beckoned Yang Peng out of the guest room, and the Dajiang Gang outside the room lay on the ground, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Xie Yun couldn't help but wonder, himself or Yang Peng, are we so terrible?

Outside the door of the inn, there was already an official messenger waiting, when the official messenger saw the two of them, he couldn't help frowning, didn't the people who witnessed it say that it was a teenager who killed the water monster, why did two people come out this time, what did the people of the Dajiang Gang do? He looked at Yang Peng, the appearance of this fifteen or sixteen-year-old just matched the rhetoric of the onlookers, and Xie Yun next to him, the appearance of a twenty-year-old man obviously did not match it at all.

The official did not know that Liu Gang, the leader of the Dajiang Gang, saw that the county commander led someone to forcibly take away the body of the water monster, and he was very angry, so he did not tell the county order about Yang Peng and a master, this matter was only known to the people of the Dajiang Gang, at that time, the surrounding onlookers were driven away by the Dajiang Gang, and only the people of the Dajiang Gang had contact with Xie Yun, Liu Gang did this with the intention that the county order would inadvertently offend Xie Yun, so that Xie Yun would not be co-opted by the people of the government.

The official who didn't know these things arrogantly asked Xie Yun, "Did you kill the water monster?"

Xie Yun shook his head: "No." Then he pointed to Yang Peng next to him with his hand and said, "It's him." ”

"Then what are you doing here, the county magistrate didn't invite you. ”

"Coincidentally!" Xie Yun replied, "I happened to be looking for something from the county order. ”

"What are you!" the official was furious, "the county magistrate can see you if you want." Acquaintances, get out of the way, or I'll hold you in prison and break your dog's legs!"

Xie Yun was already angry because he was detained by the county order to detain the body of the water monster, and when he heard the official say this, he laughed angrily: "In these years, even a dog's leg dares to say wildly, he should be beaten!"

The official's eyes were round, looking at Xie Yun's clothes, it was clear that he was a country boy, when did a country boy dare to be so arrogant. He only felt that Xie Yun was talking to himself like this in public, which was obviously making himself lose face, and he sneered: "You kid is looking for death!" After speaking, he raised his slap high and slapped it towards Xie Yun's face. This kind of thing is a perfect game, and I don't know how many people in Mingyang City who dare to be presumptuous have been slapped by his own slap and broken their front teeth, and he is determined to let this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky understand some truths.

Xie Yun didn't dodge, he was also planning to try how powerful his second-level qi refining level could be, and he didn't worry about what this official could do to him, if the second-level qi refining monk couldn't even deal with a small official errand, it would really be a vain cultivation.

"It's too slow!" Looking at the official's palm as if in slow motion, Xie Yun sighed, how can his current six senses be comparable to before, he quietly waited for the official's slap to be about to hit his face, and suddenly made a move and gave the official a backhand slap.

"Smack!" a crisp sound sounded.

The people who watched the excitement around only slapped Xie Yun in the face as an official, but suddenly saw the official flying out upside down, and suddenly fell asleep on the ground, his cheeks were black and swollen.

Xie Yun looked at his hands, and his strength had increased by at least six times that of before.

The onlookers couldn't help but rub their eyes, could it be that they were mistaken, just now it was obviously the hand of the official messenger, why is it now that the official messenger himself has been beaten away?

The official sat on the ground with tears and snot flowing together, he turned his head to see that the people around him were pointing at him and snickering secretly, how could he have been so embarrassed, and suddenly a nameless anger rushed to his head, dizzying his reason. I saw the official screaming in his mouth: "You dare to attack the official, Lao Tzu wants you to die!"

With that, he pulled out the long knife at his waist, screamed and rushed towards Xie Yun.

Xie Yun's expression was cold, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "Dare to use a knife against me, I think you are the one who wants to die!"

The official screamed and flew out upside down, and a concave fist mark appeared under the ribs, and it looked like the ribs had been punched at least three times.

This time it was Yang Peng who made the move, he saw that this official was rude to his master, he was already angry, and finally couldn't help but make a move. But he was also merciful, and only used a little strength, and did not kill the official on the spot. From this punch, it can be seen that Yang Peng, who cultivates the body refining technique, is indeed much greater in strength than Xie Yun, who is practicing qi.

The official vomited out a mouthful of red blood, his face became as pale as tin foil, he looked at the depression under his ribs in horror, and shouted at Xie Yun fiercely: "Dare to beat Lao Tzu like this, you little bastard will definitely not survive today! When you go to prison, Lao Tzu will torture you for three days and three nights, and then peel your skin and hang it in the city to show the public!"

"Disciple, have you ever killed someone?" Xie Yun asked suddenly.

Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and shook his head while looking at the official who was lying on the ground scolding.

"Then go and kill him," Xie Yun said undoubtedly, "This is the beginning, but it will definitely not be the end." ”

Yang Peng's face was hesitant, he grew up in a mountain village since he was a child, at most he had killed chickens, and he never dared to imagine such a thing. However, Master's words are a holy decree for him, and the scene of the villagers of Woniu Village bullying him appeared in front of his eyes, if there was no Master, it is estimated that he would have died.

"If you don't kill in the face of evil, it's not good!" he gritted his teeth and strode forward.
