In the small village, the night was quiet.

Before dawn on the second day, the plain girl got up early, quickly cleaned up the table that had been messed up last night, and prepared breakfast with her hands.

When the time came, Li Jing and Daniel Zhang walked out of the room one after another, each had breakfast, and sat at the table and chatted for a while.

Only Meng Xiuyuan was alone, and he didn't appear for a long time.

"Brother Daniel Zhang, did you and Young Master Meng talk late last night?"

Li Jing looked up at the sun that had risen high, and felt a little wrong in his heart.

Daniel Zhang shook his head when he heard this, and said blankly:

"It's not too late...... Before he arrived, Brother Meng suddenly said that he would not drink and would go back to his room to rest.

I haven't drunk half of the jars of wine I've found. ”

When Li Jing heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, only to feel that things were really a little strange. How could a person with superb martial arts like Meng Xiuyuan easily oversleep.

At this moment, Su Su, who had been silently cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, suddenly said:

"I think Meng Gongzi should be practicing in the house, and he was too devoted, so he forgot the time for a while......"

Daniel Zhang next to him was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask:

"Why did Miss Su Su say that, but what is wrong with Brother Meng?"

When everyone was eating and chatting last night, Daniel Zhang cared the most about this beautiful girl, so he could be regarded as having a rough understanding of her personality, knowing that this gentle girl would never interject casually if she had no reason.

Su Su nodded when he heard this, and in the puzzled eyes of Li Jing and Daniel Zhang, he said quite methodically:

"I saw that breakfast was going to be cold just now, so I thought I would send one to Meng Gongzi's room.

But as soon as I reached a foot outside his house, I felt a cold wind blowing, and my whole body felt as if I was about to freeze.

I remember that the young lady and the old man once said that among the top masters in the world, some can control the cold and heat around them.

So I guessed that Meng Gongzi had practiced to the critical point, so I didn't dare to disturb him......"

"I see...... Su Su girl is so knowledgeable! Daniel Zhang suddenly nodded when he heard this.

When they exchanged identities yesterday, Daniel Zhang learned that the origin of this Susu girl in front of him was not simple, not just a village girl in this small village.

She is actually a member of the Wagang Army, and she has served Zhai Wufang, the only daughter of Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army, since she was a child, and she is like a sister to Miss Zhai. Later, it was because he was attacked by gangsters when he was playing with the young lady, so he lived in this small village temporarily.

That Zhai Rang is a famous martial artist in the world, and Su Su has been exposed to it in his home, so it is not surprising that he has such knowledge.

When Daniel Zhang looked at Su Su with admiration, Li Jing's face next to him suddenly turned solemn, and he immediately shook his head and said:

"No, although the master can invoke the power of cold and heat due to the special nature of his innate true qi, it is a means that can only be used when he hurts the enemy.

Meng Gongzi is like this, I'm afraid things are not simple......"

At this point, Li Jing had already flashed out and went straight to the village house where Meng Xiuyuan lived. When Daniel Zhang and Su Su saw this scene, they also hurriedly chased after them.

When the three of them came to the place, they just approached the door, and sure enough, they noticed something unusual. However, unlike what Su Su said, this time it was a surging hot wind coming out of the house.

Its strength made both Li Jing and Daniel Zhang sweat slightly, and Su Su, who had no martial arts skills, did not dare to approach.

"Brother Li Jing, what should we do?" Daniel Zhang also felt that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly asked.

Li Jing glanced at the door, shook his head, and said softly:

"What can I do, wait quietly, don't bother.

I only hope that this is a sign of Meng Gongzi's great progress, not how to go mad......"

……

This was two hours, and until noon, Meng Xiuyuan was still not seen walking out of the house.

And the three people who were originally standing at the door had already retreated to the outside of the courtyard, not daring to get too close to the house.

It's not that they were afraid of disturbing Meng Xiuyuan by making a noise, but it was really that the waves of cold and hot alternating air coming from the house became stronger and wider, forcing the three of them to retreat again and again.

"I think Brother Meng must have made a breakthrough in martial arts after the battle with Du Fuwei yesterday.

Otherwise, if you really go crazy, how can you release this breath stronger than a wave? ”

Seeing that the Susu girl was worried, Daniel Zhang pretended to be calm and said with a smile.

Su Su nodded when she heard this, but her face did not change in the slightest, still worried about Meng Xiuyuan, who saved her life.

At this moment, a hearty voice came from the house, which made the three of them immediately look uplifted:

"Yongzi, you're only half right.

I have made good progress in my kung fu, but it has nothing to do with the cold and hot breath I emit.

Besides, if you talk about the reason for my breakthrough, I should thank you more than Du Fuwei......"

Between the words, Meng Xiuyuan walked out of the house slowly. When the three people outside the hospital saw him for the first time, their eyes immediately lit up, and the plain girl couldn't help but scream "ah".

Just because this already handsome Meng Gongzi is becoming more and more radiant at this moment.

Not only does there seem to be a shining light on his face, adding three points of dazzling brilliance, but the originally slightly indifferent demeanor is naturally much more kind.

"Brother Meng, what kind of kung fu are you, why do you seem to have practiced like the person in the painting......"

Daniel Zhang saw Su Su beside him looking at Meng Xiuyuan's stunned gaze, and couldn't help but scratch his head helplessly, and said with emotion.

Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, but he didn't answer him.

In fact, Meng Xiuyuan didn't know how to fully explain his current state for a while.

What he can be sure of is that he has finally thoroughly practiced the first five graphics of "The Recipe of Eternal Life" and connected them with each other after last night.

The essence of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys circulates, causing the innate qi of the five elements to restrain each other, and finally reach a near-perfect balance.

From now on, if Meng Xiuyuan practices the first five diagrams of this "Recipe for Longevity", he will be able to walk the five diagrams together, attracting the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth between heaven and earth to pour into his body together, and strengthen the five internal organs and even the entire body in a balanced manner.

And the reason why Meng Xiuyuan just said that he should be very grateful to Daniel Zhang for this matter is because the opportunity for this breakthrough came from the two of them drinking and talking.

With Meng Xiuyuan's internal talent, he has been cultivating the first five pictures of the "Recipe for Longevity" for nearly a year, and he has already accumulated a rather solid foundation.

The reason why the five pictures have not been connected in series is actually just a stimulus and a key to open one's own treasure house.

Last night, I heard Daniel Zhang talk about the topic of "the meaning of life lies in experience", and Meng Xiuyuan actually felt a lot in his heart.

Since he was picked up by his master Zhang Zhenren and went to Wudang Mountain, he has been reincarnated three times. Every time he experienced a world, he felt that his heart was inevitably a little more closed.

Until he came to this Tang world, Meng Xiuyuan only felt that he was about to become a game character named "Meng Xiuyuan", in order to cultivate martial arts as soon as possible, defeat the strongest person in this world, and clear this dungeon.

As for the people, things, and beautiful scenery along the way, he rarely stops.

In fact, if you ask yourself, Meng Xiuyuan himself can't tell why he was born with such a change.

Maybe it's because of the years of solitary retreat, maybe it's because of the repeated partings with family and friends, or maybe it's because you look too high and too far to ignore the present.

Meng Xiuyuan couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad, maybe such concentration and tranquility made it easier for him to pursue the martial arts and the heavenly way.

It's just that after listening to Daniel Zhang's words, his heart suddenly moved, and many profound experiences from the past came to his mind, as if he had personally reproduced them.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and fear, mixed feelings, correspond to the five organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

At that moment, the kung fu of the first five pictures of Meng Xiuyuan's "Recipe for Longevity" unconsciously came into operation and gradually merged into one.

Meng Xiuyuan noticed the change, hurriedly said goodbye to Daniel Zhang, and returned to the room to meditate and stabilize. By the time the sky dawned, it was already done.

The reason why it was delayed for such a long time was actually because Meng Xiuyuan wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and directly began to attack the sixth and seventh pictures behind "The Recipe for Eternal Life".

It's a pity that although he was able to attract the two innate essences of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth, because the Northern Darkness True Qi was circulating in his body all the time, the cultivation path of the last two diagrams, which was already very complicated, was quite affected, and it was difficult to succeed for a while.

However, under the solid foundation laid by the first five pictures, Meng Xiuyuan could try it at will, without fear of being injured by the innate essence introduced into his body.

When you think about it, it's only a matter of time before you succeed.

……

After the interlude, the four of them began to discuss the departure of the journey.

"Meng Gongzi, I don't know where you're going?"

Li Jing was the first to speak and asked Meng Xiuyuan. Daniel Zhang and Su Su also turned their heads to look, their eyes full of inquiry.

Obviously, in the troubled times, the three of them hoped to go a little longer with Meng Xiuyuan.

"I'm going to Hubei to meet an old friend.

But it's not a hurry, and it doesn't hurt to take a detour and walk around with you. ”

What Meng Xiuyuan thought in his heart was that he realized that he had probably learned all the seven pictures of the "Recipe for Longevity", and wanted to return to Wudang Mountain to meet Shilong and hand over the divine book to the other party for study.

However, as he said, there is still some time before the agreed one-year period, and Meng Xiuyuan, who had secretly changed his mentality last night, did not hesitate to give these three people a ride at this moment.

Li Jing then looked at Su Su and Daniel Zhang, and when the two saw this, their eyes were paired, and Daniel Zhang said:

"I promised Miss Susu to send her back to the Xingyang Wagang Army and let her return to her own young lady......"

Xingyang is located in Henan, and in the 21st century, it is located near Zhengzhou.

Su Su nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and at the same time cast a grateful glance at Daniel Zhang.

Hearing this, Li Jing also nodded, and said:

"I want to look at the qi number of the Sui people to determine my future choice......"

The "Dadu" of the Sui Dynasty refers to the Daxing City in Guanzhong, which was later called Chang'an.

At this time, Li Jing's eyes looked at Meng Xiuyuan, as if waiting for his decision.

Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he saw this, nodded and said:

"Both horizontally and vertically are heading to the northwest, not too far away, so I'll give the three of them a ride."

……

In this way, the matter was decided, and the four of them immediately packed their luggage and set off for the north.

There were war horses left behind by Du Fuwei's cavalry, and the four of them hurried quickly, and by noon on the second day, they had already reached the edge of the Yangtze River.

However, at this time, the four of them were in a little trouble, just because they had just experienced a cruel war, and the ferries that used to come and go by the river were all gone at this moment.

The four of them looked at the waves of the river on horseback, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"If it really doesn't work, let's give up the horses, and I'll take you across the river one by one......"

With Meng Xiuyuan's skill at this time, the so-called miracle of "crossing the river with a reed" is just ordinary, and even with a big man as thick as Daniel Zhang on his body, it is not a problem to think of it.

But let him carry a war horse across the river, it would be really embarrassing.

The image of Meng Xiuyuan's "peerless master" by the three of them had already been deeply rooted in their hearts, and when they heard that he was going to perform such a miracle, they were only slightly stunned before accepting it. Seeing that there was no other way, they immediately nodded in agreement.

"It's a pity that after crossing the river, there are no horses to walk, so we have to walk much slower......"

Daniel Zhang touched the war horse under his crotch, feeling regretful in his heart. He was a cavalryman in Duvowei's army for a long time, and he had a lot of affection for the horses under his seat.

At this moment, a large boat on the upstream river came from afar, with flags waving on the boat, white lines on a black background, and the appearance of a whale was painted.

"It's the ship of the Giant Kun Gang...... This giant Kun gang is one of the three major gangs on the southeast coast, and it is listed in the world's 'eight gangs and ten associations', which is quite powerful.

But with Meng Gongzi here, we can say hello to them. ”

Li Jingjianghu has a wide range of knowledge, and immediately opened his mouth to explain to the people around him.

Daniel Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed forward, waving loudly at the ship of the giant Kun Gang. The people on the boat quickly noticed his movements, and they all looked towards the shore and saw the faces of Meng Xiuyuan and the four of them clearly.

Immediately, the big ship of the Giant Kun Gang really closed its sails and slowed down and approached the shore. And before the ship could be stopped, a charming woman appeared on the ship, and said in a crisp voice downward:

"I didn't expect to meet Meng Xiuyuan and Meng Gongzi here, it's really an honor......

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't remember that he had seen such a person, and he didn't know the details of the other party, so he immediately turned his head to look at Li Jing beside him.

Li Jing's mind was quick, how could he not see through Meng Xiuyuan's doubts, and immediately explained in a low voice:

"This should be the new leader of the Giant Kun Gang, Yun Yuzhen, who is known as the 'Red Pink Gang Leader'.

Her father, Yun Guangling, the previous leader of the Giant Kun Gang, was assassinated two years ago.

This Yun Yu is really quite capable, and after taking over, he has taken care of the Giant Kun Gang with a good reputation, and he is even more valuable and has superb martial arts, especially his father......"

Before Li Jing finished speaking, Yun Yuzhen had already jumped up from the big boat, crossed the river like a nimble bird, and landed directly in front of Meng Xiuyuan.

This light skill alone is really eye-catching.

"Tsk, the portrait of the imperial court is really difficult to show the appearance and demeanor of Meng Gongzi in one thousand......

If Yu Zhen hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have thought that there would be a man like Meng Gongzi in the world. ”

Yun Yuzhen looked at Meng Xiuyuan, his eyes burning, and he didn't hide it at all.

Meng Xiu saw this scene and felt quite strange in his heart. He was reincarnated in three lives, and he has never seen such an open woman, so I don't know if it is due to the atmosphere of this world.

However, he could also understand it, and as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he indicated that he knew Meng Xiuyuan from the wanted notice of the imperial court, and he was obviously releasing a friendly message.

"I've seen the Yun Gang Leader below, I wonder if you can ask your gang to make it convenient and take the four of me across the river?"

Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to talk to the other party, so he immediately opened his mouth to get down to business.

Yun Yuzhen chuckled when he heard this, and said warmly to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Meng Gongzi opened his mouth, and the matter of crossing the river is naturally not a problem.

It's just that Yuzhen saw Meng Gongzi for the first time today, so he had to say goodbye immediately, and he was really a little reluctant in his heart.

Since Meng Gongzi wants to cross the river, he must be rushing to the north.

My Giant Kun Gang is also going to the north on this trip, I wonder if I can take Meng Gongzi for a ride? ”

Meng Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said to Yunyu Zhen:

"The cloud gang master is polite, although they are all going north, how can it be so easy to follow the road.

Trouble the master, just take us across the river. ”

How do you think, after Meng Xiuyuan's words came out, Yun Yuzhen was still unwilling to give up, and stepped forward to Meng Xiuyuan and said softly:

"Meng Gongzi doesn't say it, how can you be sure that it will be smooth or not?

Yuzhen is completely kind, and please don't misunderstand......"

At this point, perhaps to make Meng Xiuyuan believe in her sincerity, Yun Yuzhen deliberately added another sentence, indicating his movements and purpose:

"Our Giant Kun Gang is going north along the canal and going to Pengcheng to meet the second son of the Li family.

If Meng Gongzi thinks it's a good trip, why don't we go on a ride? ”

Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, not only because the four of them and this Yun Yuzhen really went by the way, but also because of the "second son of the Li family" in the other party's mouth.
