As the sun sets, a cloud of white smoke rises from the calm lake.

Meng Xiuyuan sat quietly by the fire and watched Lu Miaozi roast two hares with his own hands.

An evening breeze blew from the lake, and the air was filled with the smell of meat.

Lu Miaozi leaned forward slightly and sniffed it, and then smiled at Meng Xiuyuan with a satisfied face:

"Little brother, my roast rabbit will be fine in no time.

You'll have to try it later, and see how my craft compares to you......"

Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, nodded, and didn't answer, just jumped up, picked some ripe wild fruits from the surrounding forests, washed them in the lake, and brought them back to accompany the meal.

In half an afternoon, the old and the young were already quite familiar with each other, and they were very comfortable getting along.

Lu Miaozi is a strange person, well-informed, no matter what he talks about, he has a lot of his own understanding. And although Meng Xiuyuan has reined in a little because of his age at the moment, it is still a rare deed between the two of them.

Especially in terms of the number of techniques, the two discussed a lot, and the other party's level was so high that they were all very frightened.

"Little brother, I really can't figure it out.

How could a once-in-a-century genius like you wronged himself and hid in such an inconspicuous restaurant?

Is it the training that your master arranged for you? ”

Lu Miaozi handed a roasted hare to Meng Xiuyuan, and at the same time asked about Meng Xiuyuan's life experience unabashedly.

Between the words, he was still quite curious about Meng Xiuyuan's teacher.

"Old man, good craftsmanship ......"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and didn't care too much, first praised Lu Miaozi, the roasted and fragrant hare, and then replied:

"Restaurant workmanship is a kind of training.

It's just a place to stay for a while.

Self-reliance, justified, how can there be grievances. ”

Lu Miaozi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then laughed, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Haha, little brother is such a wonderful person.

I thought you were just talented and well-informed, but I didn't expect that even your heart was so outstanding.

I'm more and more sure now that your master must be a rare master......"

Speaking of this, Lu Miaozi's voice turned slightly lower, and then he continued towards Meng Xiuyuan:

"I think that although the little brother is young, he is quite low-key between words and deeds, and he is obviously a cautious person.

Hiding in this small restaurant, I'm afraid it's also to avoid people's eyes.

In this way, it was the old man who bothered recklessly.

If I'm really making such a fuss today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my little brother to stay in this town any longer......"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head again when he heard this, and said to Lu Miaozi indifferently:

"The old gentleman is serious, and he can't talk about any interruption or non-interruption.

I've already made plans to travel far away in the next few days......"

Meng Xiuyuan had no intention of experiencing a hard life, and staying in this small restaurant was an expedient choice in the early stage of awakening.

Although the boss and his wife are not bad, they don't treat Meng Xiuyuan too harshly, but after all, things are complicated in the restaurant, and they get up before dawn every day to work, welcome customers and run the hall, wash dishes and clean, these meaningless take up too much of Meng Xiuyuan's precious time.

For a few months, Meng Xiuyuan practiced hard while doing chores in that small restaurant, and until recently, he had some self-preservation power, and he didn't want to stay any longer.

According to his plan, he was going to find a rare deep mountain and old forest to drill into it, and concentrate on cultivating for seven or eight years, and then come out to explore the rivers and lakes after he had some foundation.

The reason why Meng Xiuyuan talked so much with this old Mr. Lu Miaozi today and was not afraid of exposing his specialness was actually for this reason.

He could see that this old gentleman's kung fu was not too powerful, and he didn't look like a villain, but he was really malicious, but he couldn't keep himself.

……

The sky is getting dark, and the wild fruits and roast rabbits in their hands have been eaten, and both of them are free and easy personalities, so they simply say goodbye to each other.

"Little brother, I, Lu Miaozi, have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and there are not many people who can get into it.

When I saw you today, I was quite in love.

I talked to you for an afternoon, which is more interesting than those mediocre people say about the last year and a half.

Even in the field of arithmetic, I actually learned a lot of new things from you......

If you need help with anything in the future, please come to me. ”

Lu Miaozi looked at Meng Xiuyuan and said with a slight smile.

Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, arched his hand towards Lu Miaozi, and said seriously:

"The old gentleman is polite.

Today, I have also benefited a lot.

I don't know when I'll know a lot of things unless I ask him......"

This is not a polite remark, in fact, Meng Xiuyuan in this life is indeed the most confused compared to the previous two lives.

It has been a few months since he saw through the mystery in the womb and regained his memory.

But during this time, he asked many questions in the small restaurant, but he was not sure what kind of world he had reached.

After all, it is just a quiet and peaceful Jiangnan town, and it is too far away from the rivers and lakes.

It wasn't until today that he got a hint from this old Mr. Lu Miaozi and figured out the situation.

The work "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is quite famous, but unfortunately Meng Xiuyuan is not impressed by it. Not only did I not read the original book, but even the TV series only watched a little bit in bits and pieces when I was a teenager in my previous life.

After decades of two lives, the plot in his memory has long since dissipated, and Meng Xiuyuan only remembers brilliant martial arts techniques such as "The Secret of Eternal Life" and "Cihang Sword Codex", as well as the names of a few key figures.

Today, he listened to Lu Miaozi comment on the masters of the rivers and lakes, and mentioned the names of Ning Daoqi, Fu Cailin, and Bi Xuan, so that he really confirmed his situation at this time.

"Haha, that little brother, let's see you again......"

Lu Miaozi said goodbye with a smile, and reached out to pat Meng Xiuyuan's shoulder, but it was his inconspicuous action that made Meng Xiuyuan suddenly alert.

"Brush!"

I could only hear the wind whistling, and Lu Miaozi's palm suddenly increased in mid-air, and it grabbed Meng Xiuyuan's chest sharply.

After all, Meng Xiuyuan had two lifetimes of experience in the enemy, and he discovered his intention earlier, and immediately pressed his toes a little, stepping on the soil under his feet to explode and fly, and then used this force to abruptly withdraw three zhang away.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Meng Xiuyuan's eyes looked at the old man from afar.

He could see that the other party's move only had the intention of controlling the enemy, but it did not bring killing intent, so he wanted to ask the matter clearly.

Unexpectedly, Na Lu Miaozi didn't want to explain half a sentence, and when he missed the blow, he immediately carried a light skill and attacked Meng Xiuyuan like a big bird.

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan did not have any protective true qi on his body, and although his internal organs had been refined to be very tough, he was unwilling to go head-to-head with such a master who could hurt people with his internal strength.

Immediately, Meng Xiuyuan showed his real kung fu, and a pair of legs containing explosive power kicked in a row, and he actually cracked the ground under his feet inch by inch. In the dust, his body was as fast as lightning, and with the power of his body alone, he threw Lu Miaozi far away in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Lu Miaozi was surprised, but a trace of hesitation flashed on her face, and she could see that she was quite entangled in her heart. However, after a while, his face was still grim, and he immediately threw off his robe, rolled up a piece of bluestone weighing dozens of catties and smashed it towards Meng Xiuyuan.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu still didn't resist, and suddenly dodged sideways, and when the bluestone flew to his side, he suddenly smashed it with a palm, and at the same time took many fragments of it into his arms.

The next moment, only countless "whoosh" sounds were heard in the air, and Meng Xiuyuan's hands flashed like phantoms, shooting countless bluestone fragments at Nalu Miaozi with the technique of "Finger Magic".

This original version of Kung Fu requires the operation and cooperation of True Qi in order to exert its maximum power. But at this time, Meng Xiuyuan was inspired by that terrifying physical power, and the power was also good.

The stormy countless stones struck, forcing Lu Miaozi to have enough true qi and barely resist with a wave of his sleeves.

When the gravel in his hand was exhausted, Meng Xiuyuan was about to make another move, but suddenly heard Nalu Miaozi speak:

"Little brother, wait.

I see that your martial arts don't seem to come from the Yin Sect? ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and said puzzledly:

"What Yin Sect?"

Lu Miaozi stared at Meng Xiuyuan's face carefully, seeing that his face did not seem to be fake, and then recalled the strange martial arts he used when he fought just now, leaving his hands everywhere, and after a while, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and withdrew the steel claw that had been hidden in his hand into his sleeve.

"Little brother, I'm really sorry......"

Lu Miaozi immediately sat on the ground, calming down his slightly disordered breath, and at the same time explained apologetically to Meng Xiuyuan:

"It's really too rare for a peerless genius like you, and the origin of the teacher is unknown, so I can't help but care.

In my heart just now, there is a fifty percent probability that you are a personal disciple trained by the demon woman Zhu Yuyan.

In this case, for the sake of my own life, I have to try your martial arts skills. ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then recalled the temptations in Lu Miaozi's words just now, and only felt that everything had a reason.

"Old man, do you have a grudge against that Zhu Yuyan?"

Meng Xiu saw Lu Miaozi's appearance and knew that he had a secret injury on his body, but he still tried his best to make a move, which was obviously true. Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan didn't care about it, and only asked.

Lu Miaozi nodded when she heard this, and sighed:

"Alas! One of the two things I've done in my life that I've regretted for the rest of my life is falling in love with this woman.

I think I, Lu Miaozi, am conceited and smart, but because she is wrong again and again, it is really a creation to make people......"

Immediately, in order to give Meng Xiuyuan an explanation, this Lu Miaozi immediately told a rough story about himself and Zhu Yuyan, the queen of the yin.

It turned out that twenty years ago, he had a good relationship with Zhu Yuyan, the first master of the Demon Gate, "Queen Yin", but then the woman suddenly changed her mind and wanted to kill him again.

Mr. Lu's martial arts were far inferior to the other party, and he was seriously injured immediately, but he still relied on his miscellaneous studies to barely escape.

Over the years, he has devised all kinds of suspicious tactics to trick the demon woman into thinking that he had fled overseas in order to save his life.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan today, I didn't notice it at first, but the more I came into contact, the more I felt that this mature boy with a handsome appearance, peerless talent, and far beyond his peers was by no means something that ordinary masters could teach, much like Zhu Yuyan's handwriting.

After many years of heart attack, Lu Miaozi was afraid that Zhu Yuyan would find out because of this, but he couldn't care about it, so he could only try it himself.

That's why he did it suddenly.

"Oh, I see......"

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and he only felt that he was reminded by his words, and many fragmentary memories of his previous life gradually recovered, and he only felt that there was indeed such a thing.

Subsequently, Meng Xiuyuan gradually regained a little impression of the role of Lu Miaozi in the original book.

……

After a while, the two said goodbye to each other again.

Compared with just now, although there is less cheerful atmosphere at the moment, it seems much more sincere.

Lu Miaozi looked at Meng Xiuyuan, hesitated for a moment, and said to Meng Xiuyuan with a slightly pale face:

"Little brother, it is really rare for you to be humble and kind-hearted.

I'm so embarrassed that I was so upset by the demons in my heart just now......"

While speaking, Lu Miaozi suddenly threw out a steel claw from his sleeve and handed it to Meng Xiu from afar:

"This" Flying God Escape ", is the baby I relied on to escape Zhu Yuyan's pursuit, the steel ring behind the tail is connected with a rare ice silk ten zhang long, with your true qi, you can make the steel claw flexible as a human hand, and the silk can be long or short.

The light work you have just performed is quite impressive. With this small object, I want to be able to compete with the world's first-class masters.

Count it as a little apology for me, and please accept it......"

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't think much about it, nodded with a smile, and reached out to take it.

No, at the moment when Meng Xiuyuan's hand touched the steel claw, Na Lu Miaozi actually held the ice silk at the other end of his hand, and sent a subtle wisp of true qi to Meng Xiuyuan's body in a moment.

There are two layers of steel claws and silk to block it, and the trace of true qi sent by Lu Miaozi is very weak, and it can't pose any threat at all, and Meng Xiuyuan also knows this reason, so he is not on guard against this.

"Old gentleman, it seems that the queen of yin has indeed hurt you a lot.

You're suspicious, but it's really serious......"

Seeing this, Meng Xiu knew that his purpose was only to probe his martial arts skills, so he didn't get angry, but just said with a smile.

However, Na Lu Miaozi didn't care about Meng Xiuyuan's teasing, just looked at him and asked blankly:

"Where's your true anger?

How come I can't detect the true qi in your body?! ”

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head and did not answer.

In the months since the crossing, he has been obsessed with studying the mysteries of the human body that he saw during the crossing, and even if he has practiced his true qi, he has been tempered into his body with the "Fitness Technique", and he has not been retained.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's expression, with Lu Miaozi's intelligence, he couldn't figure out the reason.

He immediately froze in place, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"So, when I was fighting just now, you actually ...... It turned out to be ......"
