When Pei Ye came to the county office, Chang Zhiyuan had not yet returned, Shen Yanping was sitting in the courtyard polishing his thin and thin saber, while Feng Zhi squatted aside to inspect a halberd and a set of heavy armor brought out from the arsenal.

"I'm afraid I can't even touch the corners of people's clothes when I wear this."

"I can't touch it in the first place, but I can take two more hits if I put on this."

Shen Yanping shook his head and smiled.

"Damn, I haven't used it for a long time, the rope is rotten - boy, you came just in time, tie these two nail leaves."

Pei Ye came to the two of them and squatted down, leaned his sword against the stone bench and made a "dang chang" sound.

Feng Zhi glanced up: "If we are really defeated, it is best not to even take out the sheath of this sword, and immediately flee into the deep mountains, and go in the direction of the state city, there is still a glimmer of life." ”

Shen Yanping sighed lightly: "If one person escapes, it is just another person who dies, just like last night's ......."

Pei Ye said: "Are the two adults worried that the person will make a move in advance?" ”

"I haven't seen any signs of arresting anyone on Lord Chang's side just now, but who knows if he will wait for us to gather the talented people in the city and pick seven more?" Shen Yanping shook his head, "There are too few enemies to guard against." The most dangerous period of time should be the time or two when people are gathered in the county government and arrived at the time when Jing Duwei arrived. ”

Pei Ye pursed his lips and said, "I can also help defend against the enemy." ”

Before Shen Yanping could speak, Feng Zhi frowned and raised his head: "I remember that you didn't fail to break the seed?" ”

"Yes." Pei Li said, "But I know a sword technique, and maybe I can use it." ”

"......" Feng Zhi rolled his eyes, "Young people really always have a kind of stupid self-confidence. ”

Shen Yanping smiled, raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Thank you Pei Shaoxia for being benevolent." But Pei Shaoxia did his best to protect himself and prevent the murderer from succeeding, which is a common victory for us and others. ”

Pei Ye was silent and nodded.

Shen Yanping suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Actually, the situation is not so critical, it's just that I'm too worried." If the other party can arrest people in advance, the best way should be to capture twelve people at once, and then hide in the mountains to hold the ceremony in three days. Judging from the current situation, it is likely that they will be able to communicate with some kind of mysterious power at the time of the ceremony, so as to lock in the candidate. At that time, Jing Duwei had already arrived. ”

To tell the truth, this is indeed the current objective situation, but Feng Zhi and Shen Yanping are like candidates who are confident after the exam and are anxious before the release of the list, but whenever there is a slight possibility of accidents, they will inevitably be worried.

Pei Ye hesitated, hugged his fists and said: "The kid is shallow, dare to ask if this Lord Du Lieutenant will definitely be able to resolve the crisis when he arrives?" ”

This time, not only Shen Yanping smiled, but Feng Zhi also hooked the corners of his mouth.

Shen Yanping said: "Lord Lin's meridian tree has five lives, according to the traces, this murderer should be seven lives, and he is indeed a rare master." But Jing Duwei had been pondering in the Eight Realms of the Vein Tree ten years ago, and at the beginning of this year, he finally hung his clothes, and now he has to be called a grandmaster. ”

Pei Ye was stunned, this is really foolproof.

If we want to talk about "dantian planting" and "meridian tree", we must start from the beginning and first clarify the concept of martial arts.

Whether it is a martial arts hall, a family house, a sect, or an army, when ordinary people start to practice, the first lesson is always "what is martial arts".

What is martial arts? In the eyes of ordinary people, it is the word "can play". Like Pei Li, he can make swords, fly eaves and walls, and win fights, even if he is a "first-class master" in a small county. But to put it bluntly, this is still just more strength, jumping farther, reacting faster, plus practicing weapons all year round, practice makes perfect.

"True martial arts...... It's something that makes you a different kind of person. Pei Li remembered that Grandpa Yue said so.

Why can picking leaves and flying flowers pierce people's necks? Why can a person of more than 100 pounds stand on a branch and tread water to fly? And how to transmit the sound into the secret, how to take things from the air?

All this can only be done after the seed in the dantian splits into two small buds, which is the so-called 'meridian tree life'. If there is no true qi, even if you can fight, it is not a beginner, but it is just a "landlubber" ridiculed by insiders.

Pei Ye is now a rather strong "landlubber".

With these two small buds, the further division is four, that is, the vein tree is two, then three gives birth to eight, and four gives birth to sixteen, and finally can be derived eight times, reaching the number of two hundred and fifty-six.

The size of the meridian tree is directly related to the stock of true qi, and if you understand this mechanism, you can have a rough judgment of the strength or weakness of the martial artist.

Cultivators with three lives and below, with the number of meridians of two, four, and eight, are not too far away from the "landlubbers".

At this stage, although the true qi is infinitely useful, and there is a huge difference between people with or without it, but after all, fighting is not a big or small comparison, and many factors such as strength, skills, experience, environment, and even weapons can bridge the gap caused by true qi.

But then again, this kind of victory over the strong with the weak basically stops at less than three lives.

The fourth life is eight to sixteen, the fifth life is sixteen to thirty-two, and the sixth life is thirty-two to sixty-four, and this explosive growth has far exceeded the limit of human physical strength.

From now on, no matter how much you are born with divine power, no matter how congenitally weak the other party is, you will not be able to offset the true qi that is strong to a certain extent. What's more, the biggest advantage of the opponent is not the blessing of the true qi on the physique, and more importantly, the person without the true qi does not understand the magic of the true qi at all, so he cannot get used to the way the opponent attacks. You think this knife move is old, but the opponent's wrist flip is a stronger slash; You think that the other party has nowhere to borrow power in the air, but the other party can just sweep through the air.

Even if these things are said, the enemy does not have time to think and react.

It was all kinds of incredible angles, all kinds of whimsical ideas, and the overall improvement of the five senses such as ears, eyes, mouth, nose, etc., and the "impossible" that landlubbers were used to was just a casual blow to those who mastered the true qi.

"True Qi" has almost completely changed the martial artist's theory of martial arts, and coupled with all kinds of mysterious uses, it is indeed not an exaggeration to call the martial artist "another person".

And when it came to the seven births and one hundred and twenty-eight veins and the eight births and two hundred and fifty-six veins, this perverted growth had completely distanced them from the people below.

Four may be able to win five, if Feng Zhi and Lin Lin play 20 games, maybe they can win one game; Five can occasionally win six, such as those famous young heroes, but the record of six wins and seven wins and eight wins has never been rare.

It is not unreasonable for some people to advocate that the seven and eight beings should be listed separately in a separate realm.

As for the realm after the meridian tree is fully formed, it has nothing to do with the vast majority of people, and it has nothing to do with the word "martial", that is the position of the Jing Duwei, "On Martial Arts" says "Establish the jade step of Xuanmen, turn your life into Qiankun, and ascend to the immortal tower of the sky", where warlocks and warriors will return to the same place.
