When I entered the plum garden, I saw Lin Ling feeding the cranes.

Seeing him move so leisurely, Meng Shuai's heart calmed down, and his distractions disappeared - even if the sun stopped rising, the rivers stopped flowing, and the sky collapsed and the summer rain and snow fell, Lin Ling's life would not be disturbed.

Lin Ling naturally found Meng Shuai, combed the crane's feathers casually, and said, "Pick up the lantern and martial arts?"

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "It's over?"

Lin Ling said: "You won?"

Meng Shuai said: "I won." ”

Lin Ling said: "Got a lot of color heads?"

Meng Shuai patted his head and said, "Ouch, I'll go, forget about this stubble." ”

Lin Ling said lightly: "I see that you have brought so many people here, and you have received a lot of benefits." I didn't expect it to be upside down. You are so happy to work in vain, you are really doing too well. ”

Meng Shuai was depressed in his heart and said, "They are looking for you to discuss important matters." I also think you might want to meet them. ”

Lin Ling asked rhetorically, "Who do I want to see over the years?"

Meng Shuai was speechless, and said for a long time: "Do you need me to inform them to glue feathers and come in with a sharp beak to see you?"

Lin Ling's eyebrows moved, and he said, "It's so cold." He released the crane and said, "Bring them in and say I'm in retreat." See you tomorrow. Then he turned around.

Meng Shuaiqi said: "Retreat, are you going to sleep?"

Lin Ling said: "I have to wait for the Snow Girl to come." I'm not alone. And give time to those who have other thoughts in it. ”

Meng Shuai immediately remembered Jiao Nanshan, who had repeatedly asked to see Lin Ling alone, and secretly said in his heart that his hall seemed cold, but in fact, he was like a mirror in his heart.

He went out and brought a few of them in. Hearing that Lin Ling was in retreat, everyone didn't say anything, and Jiao Nanshan flashed with joy. Meng Shuai arranged them in the guest room and entertained them with snacks. As for the good wine on the mountain, first, Meng Shuai is not qualified to move without permission, and secondly, he doesn't think that these people are worth wasting those good wines.

Mu Hengjiu said: "There are many ice peaks, I don't know if I can hang out?"

Meng Shuai said: "I'm afraid not." Dissatisfied with Brother Mu, every inch of Bingfeng is under the observation of Tangzun, even if I say yes, Tangzun does not allow it, I am afraid that Brother Mu will not be free. However, these few Merlins can be walked around casually. Just try not to pick flowers, and don't hurt cranes, nothing else. ”

With Meng Shuai's approval, most of the younger generation got up to go to the plum garden, but the older generation stayed and drank tea in the hall, after all, they were all heroes, and it would be a shame to sit still like children.

When it was time for free activities, Meng Shuai didn't have to accompany Mu Hengjiu from time to time, and of course he didn't want to stay and hang out with a few owners, so he turned his head and went into the garden to hang out.

After walking for a while, I saw another person coming from the side, looking lazy, don't this wooden sword, it is Xie Li.

When Meng Shuai saw him, his heart moved, he remembered something, and said, "Brother Xie." ”

Xie Li saw that it was him, ahhhh ”

Meng Shuai returned the salute and said, "Brother Xie is too polite." In terms of age, brother, I am ten years old, please call him by his first name. ”

Xie Li said: "Don't dare." When he got closer, he looked a little hesitant, and he stopped talking, but said, "The scenery here is good." ”

Meng Shuai smiled: "Yes, Tangzun has been on this for decades." Ah, by the way, Brother Xie, I have an inquiry, I don't know if it's offended. Seeing Xie Li's hesitation, he expected that he was thinking about one thing with himself, but since he didn't speak, he simply let himself speak.

Xie Li said: "Don't dare, please speak." ”

Meng Shuai said: "I heard that Brother Xie is from Hanlu Villa. Dare to ask, is it all a professor of Hanlu Villa?"

Xie Li understood what he meant, and said, "Yes, it's not." That's a long story. I am the son of the guest of Hanlu Villa, and I was enlightened and practiced martial arts at the age of eight. Although the northern world stipulates that children in the Bada Mountain Villa can learn martial arts, the poorer the world, the fewer martial arts they can choose. came from a humble background, which made Brother Meng smile. ”

Meng Shuai said: "Where-I still came up from the lower realm, and the hero doesn't ask where he comes from." ”

Xie Li glanced at Meng Shuai in surprise, obviously the phrase "heroes don't ask about their origins" in the Wufang World is not very popular. The world of the five directions is composed of big forces, if there is no protection of the big forces, ordinary people even have a problem to survive, and the education received by the disciples of the big forces is even more far away, and the gap in strength is more closely related to the level of status, the identity background is crucial, how can you not ask the source?

Just as Meng Shuai was casually comforting, Xie Li said: "That was also when I was nine years old." Once I went to transport coal, I picked out a piece of tortoiseshell from the carbon pile......"

Meng Shuai perked up and said, "Tortoise shell?"

Xie Li said: "Yes." The tortoise shell, because of the age, is charred and blackened, and it looks like carbon shavings. But after I picked it up, I accidentally found that there was a font in it, a total of more than 500 characters, which was bent and profound. I didn't understand it, so I just looked at it and saw it. Until one day when I practiced swordsmanship, I suddenly realized in my heart that I realized a sword technique, which was the sword move I had used before. ”

Meng Shuai praised: "Such a subtle sword move was actually realized by Brother Xie." Brother Xie's understanding is truly remarkable. ”

Xie Li shook his head and said, "Is there any understanding below...... That's it. However, since I got the true biography of those few hundred words, my mind is indeed much clearer than before. Therefore, he was later transferred, and was favored by the owner of the village, accepted as a registered disciple, and had to pass on martial arts. After that, it was smooth sailing. After that, every three or five times, they would realize some sword moves, and gradually formed the current sword array. ”

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "Sure enough, you also know that this is a sword formation." ”

Xie Li said: "I didn't know about it, but after I became a disciple of Hanlu Villa, I saw more and had a guess. Among them, there are also classics about Qimen Dunjia and the number of formations, and I have also specially studied them. However, there are similarities in the formation path, but I think my sword formation seems to be different, and I haven't seen anyone who is the truth. Only in Brother Meng......"

He looked at Meng Shuai solemnly and said, "When you broke the Cloud Luoshu Formation, I seemed to have caught a little bit of the same taste, but it just disappeared in a flash, I don't know if I guessed wrong." ”

Meng Shuai smiled - when he broke the formation, of course, he added a little bit of the principle of the Turtle Gate Baguazhang, and it was deliberate. If not, with his attainments in the seal, he can also quickly break the formation, but it is rare to see the formation that he has figured out with the Turtle Gate, and he is a little itchy, so he gives it a try, and now it seems that Xie Li really has a relationship.

Xie Li said again: "Even if it is not because of the origin of the formation, Brother Meng's formation cultivation is a hundred times better than mine. I only look at my brother's means, and I already admire it. I want to ask for advice, but I am afraid of being abrupt. Since Brother Meng mentioned it first, I asked Brother Meng to teach me. He bowed deeply.

Meng Shuai hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him and said, "Brother Xie, don't make such a big gift." Listen to me. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since I am a companion in the north, if it is what I have learned and Brother Xie wants to communicate, then I will definitely know everything and say everything." But this is a teacher's teaching. I have no right to teach it privately. That's a bit of a problem. ”

Xie Li was slightly disappointed and said, "This gossip sword array is the secret inheritance of Lord Meiyuan?"

Meng Shuai was stunned for a moment before he said, "No, it has nothing to do with him." After a pause, he said, "It's my master." I want to be mysterious, and my teacher left a few years ago, and the fairy trail is gone. Otherwise, I can ask him for advice. ”

Xie Li said: "This ......" pondered for a while, and said, "Is your sect strict in accepting disciples? I may have inadvertently obtained the inheritance of your sect, I don't know if it is considered a registered disciple of your sect?"

Meng Shuai suddenly said: "I see. There is also this trick!" This can circumvent the rule that the Turtle Gate Method cannot be passed on, as long as Xie Li is also a disciple of the Turtle Gate, then Meng Shuai can pass on the Method, even if he communicates with the same door, he will not violate the taboo at all.

That's a good idea, but only if the tortoiseshell is really a tortoiseshell.

Without waiting for Meng Shuai to ask questions, Xie Li said: "The tortoise shell is here, I don't know if it is something from your door?"

As early as when he frankly told Meng Shuai about his experience, he had the consciousness of taking out the tortoise shell. Even if there is no hurdle of Meng Shuai's master, it is normal for the other party to ask for advice from others, such as borrowing a tortoise shell. He has studied tortoiseshells repeatedly for so many years, and he has long been familiar with the words by heart, even if he loses it, there is no loss, it is better to exchange it for further opportunities.

The tortoise shell is bigger than Meng Shuai imagined, there is a palm-sized, and it is unexpectedly thick, Meng Shuai twisted it, it is a finger thick, looming on it, engraved with a few lines of words, the font is very different from now, it is an old font, but it is not old enough, that is, the level of the small seal, far from being as unrecognizable as the oracle bone inscription, and it is completely decipherable if it is a little more knowledgeable.

Turning it over and turning it over, it was difficult for Meng Shuai to confirm whether this was a tortoise shell from his own sect. It's child's play to identify it as your own based on just one material.

Because it can't be confirmed, Meng Shuai doesn't read the text on it. If he reads it, it means that he is willing to exchange with the other party, and then he must teach the exercises of the Kamemon Gate. If you don't teach the Fa and ask for the other party's things for nothing, Meng Shuai doesn't do this kind of thing.

After hesitating for a long time, Xie Li also saw that he was embarrassed, and said: "There are three words at the end of that paragraph, I think it should be a payment." Brother Meng confirmed. ”

Meng Shuai's heart was relieved and said, "It's okay." Turning the tortoise shell over, he saw the three words behind him, he recognized the three words "Shui Wushou", his eyes lit up, and he said, "Taishi Zu." ”

When Shui Sigui taught Meng Shuai, he also mentioned the ancestor of Guimen, anyway, Guimen has a single lineage, and there are few ancestors, so it is easy to remember. This Shui Wushou is Meng Shuai's Taishi ancestor, that is, Shui Sigui's ancestor, that is, the master's master, and Meng Shuai is three generations apart.

Seeing these three words, Meng Shuai was relieved, this is the thing of the Turtle Gate. At the same time, he also lamented the longevity of these old monsters in Kamemon. This tortoise shell looks like it is thousands of years old, and for the turtle gate, it is only three generations, and each generation must be at least a thousand years old, right?

He nodded and said, "It's something from my door, how about borrowing it from me for a few days?"

Xie Li smiled: "Please." Since it is your thing, it should be returned to its original owner. ”

Meng Shuai was about to accept it, when he suddenly felt a burst of abnormality, picked it up and looked at it carefully, his heart moved, and said, "Brother Xie-do you know the seal?"
