The poor people who have no power, in this troubled world, are already stormy, and they can't help themselves, if it weren't for Er Mazi and Xiao Yueming to meet each other this time, the Liu family of three would definitely be ruined, in fact, if it weren't for Liu Lin getting acquainted with Xiao Yueming, he would definitely not provoke Xu Xiangxiong, the causal cycle in this is really unpredictable.

The old man is old, he can't withstand the fierce stimulation, and the news of her son's arrest is enough to make her scared, and now the only concern in this world can return home safely, the old man is also satisfied and glad in his heart, and he has gone to bed early.

Although Liu Lin's injuries looked serious and the wounds were dripping with blood, they were just flesh wounds, not broken muscles and bones, after cleaning the wound and applying healing herbs, Liu Lin changed into clean clothes, and the three of them sat at the wooden table together.

Er Mazi's sword has been taken back and is being placed on the table, next to it is a hundred taels of silver given by the county lord, a silver ingot with a seductive light, neatly stacked in a wooden plate, around Liu Lin loves money so much, even twenty taels of silver are regarded as treasures, but now a hundred taels of silver are placed in front of him, and he is at his fingertips, but he didn't look at it, but lowered his head, as if he was afraid of something.

Er Mazi saw some clues, thinking that Liu Lin had been severely tortured in the dungeon, and before he could recover his senses, he asked out loud:

"Liu Lin, what's wrong with you, are you still scared?"

Although Liu Lin was afraid of Xu Xiangxiong, in his eyes, Xiao Yueming seemed to be gentle and elegant, but in fact, he was more fierce than anyone else, just looking at his eyes at the gate of the county government was enough to make him unforgettable for life.

If Liu Lin was given another chance to choose again, he would never think of stroking Xiao Yueming's tiger whiskers, but now, although his plan to use Xiao Yueming's name has been successful, Liu Lin is not happy at all, and his heart has been occupied by fear that is so strong that it is substantial.

"Second brother, you, you don't have to worry about me, I just feel a little flustered, rest for a while, and it'll be fine." ”

Liu Lin's tone was a little timid and whispered.

Carefully calculated by the little people, the result this time, fortunately, was harmless to himself, Liu Lin's city government thoughts, to Xiao Yueming sounded the alarm bell, if it weren't for this Liu Lin is Er Mazi's brother, Xiao Yueming would definitely not let him go easily.

Xiao Yueming picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and then said:

"Now that Xu Xu Xiangxiong has been duly punished, I will write a letter tonight to report this matter to Hongjun Shou, the county order is a personal essence, presumably he will immediately clean up and flee for his life overnight, leaving Xu Xiangxiong alone to bear all the anger of the imperial court. ”

Hearing this, Er Mazi slammed the table hard, scolded the old fox for damning, and then asked with some doubts:

"Brother Xiao, since you know that this county order is planning to run away, why don't you control him first, and then wait for the court to fall?"

Xiao Yueming smiled and shook his head:

"Brother Mazi, as I said in front of the county yamen, I am not an official of the imperial court, nor am I a hero of the rivers and lakes, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, in the entire vast Sizhou Imperial City, the hidden dragon dynasty is innumerable, you two Mazi is my brother Xiao Yueming, let you get out of the tiger's mouth, in my mind, is the most important. ”

"As for eradicating corrupt officials like today, it's just a matter of doing it, whether the county order of Jiyang County escapes or not, whether it can be sanctioned by the imperial court, I don't care. ”

Er Mazi looked pensive, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly:

"What Brother Xiao said makes sense, I have to be more careful in the future, there is still an old lady at home, if others still threaten their relatives like Xu Xiangxiong, I don't know what to do. ”

Xiao Yueming was deeply gratified in his heart, after Er Mazi went to the county government, he had indeed grown a lot:

"Brother Mazi can think like this, that's the best, it's not that I'm ruthless and unrighteous, but the rivers and lakes are in crisis step by step, there are many masters, there are not many strange people, we must be careful, from ancient times to the present, people in the martial arts and the imperial court, the well water has always been not the river water, besides, now is the time to change the dynasty, about to change the sky, we still don't interfere as well. ”

Er Mazi didn't understand what Xiao Yueming said about the situation in the country, but don't make trouble, he still understands the superficial truth of doing what he can, seeing that his face was condensed, he said in a solemn tone:

"Brother Xiao, I want to learn martial arts!"

Xiao Yueming had already promised Er Mazi to pass on his exercises, but now it is different from the past, the huge changes may affect Er Mazi's character, Xiao Yueming must investigate it, otherwise it will be extremely easy to go mad, but it will hurt him.

did not respond directly, Xiao Yueming's expression was indifferent:

"Brother Mazi, you have to pay attention to a cause and effect reason in everything you do, why do you want to learn martial arts?"

After pondering for a moment, Er Mazi said firmly:

"Brother Xiao, I don't want to be bullied anymore, if I learn martial arts, I will have the power to protect myself, and I will be able to keep my family safe, besides, we will go to the rivers and lakes together in the future, I don't want to be a burden to you and Brother Su." ”

Er Mazi's face was sincere, and he looked at Xiao Yueming with anticipation.

Xiao Yueming nodded slowly, he had plans to teach Ermazi martial arts, after all, it was also excellent to go to the rivers and lakes and learn a skill.

"That's fine. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yueming responded, Er Mazi couldn't help but scratch his head and laughed.

The two came to Er Mazi's room, the layout of the room was simple, a bed, a table, a cabinet, and there was nothing else, Er Mazi learned to see it in the book, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said excitedly:

"Brother Xiao, since you taught me martial arts, will you be my master in the future? ”

Xiao Yueming couldn't help laughing when she heard this:

"What kind of master, let's learn martial arts at most, besides, I don't plan to accept an apprentice who is older than me. ”

Er Mazi's face turned red, and he quickly said:

"Yes, yes, otherwise it will be awkward to shout in the future. ”

Xiao Yueming carried his hands behind his back, paced in the room, and told him the basic realm of the martial artist:

"If you want to learn martial arts, you must know the realm of this martial artist, basically, it is divided into three major realms, the third-rate realm, the second-rate realm, and the first-class realm, each realm is divided into three small realms, beginner, ordinary, top, the higher this realm, the more difficult it is to break through, and the greater the gap in strength. ”

Er Mazi forced himself to memorize this knowledge in his not smart mind, and then wondered:

"Then I learned martial arts, did I get to that third-rate realm?"

When Xiao Yueming heard this, she sighed:

"How can it be so easy, only by exercising the internal force, and successfully controlling the internal force to flow smoothly through the acupuncture points of the whole body, this can be regarded as the threshold of the third rate, and it is also for the future to break through the seventy-two acupoints and twenty-four meridians to prepare, the third-rate martial arts, can open six meridians, eighteen acupoints, and so on, until the first-class realm, for some ordinary martial arts students, just want to touch the boundary of the third-rate realm, it is also more difficult, some people even for a lifetime, are in the realm of not entering the stream. ”

When Er Mazi heard that this martial arts journey was so difficult, it was completely different from the story of those heroes in the rivers and lakes told by the storyteller, and the story of the success of the exercises in one night, the original self-confidence in his heart was also broken up by half, and he saw Er Mazi breaking his fingers and counting, and then asked:

"It is said that these third-rate martial artists open six meridians and eighteen acupoints, second-rate martial artists open twelve meridians and thirty-six acupoints, and first-class martial artists open eighteen tendons and fifty-four acupoints.

When Xiao Yueming heard what Er Mazi said, she couldn't help but think of when she was young, she asked Chang Muyin on Black Maple Island, and there were many questions like this:

"How can there be an end to the journey of martial arts, if you open all the tricks of the whole body, then you will reach the peak of the top first-class realm, and the masters of this realm, the strength of cultivation can be described as terrifying, and you can turn over the mountains and seas with your hands, the head of the six major sects of Taoism in our Central Plains is the top first-class realm. ”

With a wave of her robe, Xiao Yueming looked up at the red sun outside the window, and her heart was filled with a trace of yearning:

"If you open up the twenty-four meridians and the seventy-two acupoints, then what you are pursuing is an ethereal avenue, and this realm is too far away from you, and it will not be good for you to talk too much. ”

Slowly walked to the side of the bed, looking at the two pockmarks sitting on the wooden bed in a serious way, Xiao Yueming couldn't help laughing, and then picked up the long sword placed on the side of the bed, only to hear a sword sound, a trace of cold flashed in the room, Xiao Yueming praised loudly:

"Yes, a good sword. ”

Er Mazi said proudly:

"This sword is my father's saber before his death, and it was sealed in a wooden box and hidden by my mother for thirteen years, and she also knew that I was going to enter the rivers and lakes, so she was willing to take it out. ”

Putting the long sword back into the sheath, Xiao Yueming nodded slowly, with his father's will, it was also a good thing for Er Mazi, who had no experience in the rivers and lakes.

Picking up the pen, ink and paper that had been prepared on the table, Xiao Yueming thought about the memory in his mind, held the pen and wrote, and after a while, a few pieces of rice paper with dense small characters were written quietly in Xiao Yueming's hands, and after finally checking it, he saw him walk to Er Mazi's side.

Holding a few pieces of rice paper with dense handwriting, Er Mazi looked puzzled, Xiao Yueming immediately explained:

"This is the exercise I have seen, I wrote it down by virtue of memory, this internal force exercise is called swallowing whale three yuan, this sword technique, is a dragon outing, all are medium grade, get it to the rivers and lakes, it is enough to be regarded as some small factions of the town school martial arts, you are still late in practice, a little older, has passed the best age to fight the bones, if you thoroughly learn these two martial arts, it will be enough to break out of your reputation in the rivers and lakes. ”
