Seeing Shen Qi's thoughtful appearance, Jiu'er's comforting words came to her lips but she choked back. She knew that Shen Qi was in an embarrassing situation now. In the past, it is natural that the dragon will enter the sea, and the clouds and rain will be just around the corner. If you can't get past it, I'm afraid this life is limited to this.

Shen Qi now has the three supreme internal strength cultivation methods of stealing the sky and changing the sun, the unphased divine skill and the unphased immortal skill, and it stands to reason that if he concentrates on cultivation, it should be a matter of time before he becomes famous!

But the problem is that whether it is the Stealing Heaven and Changing the Sun Divine Skill or the Phaseless Divine Skill, Shen Qi has only mastered the surface, but he has no understanding of the profound internal principles of the two great divine skills.

Although Shen Qi had previously fused the two great divine skills by chance to create a unique "duality to one divine skill", Shen Qi's strength had not increased significantly. Although this is related to the initial creation of divine power, in fact, more importantly, Shen Qi has not mastered a set of methods for the operation of internal power.

It can even be said that Shen Qi only understood the operation of internal power as wandering through the meridians in the body, but he did not really understand how and how the internal force operates.

Shen Qi's use of the Thunder Fist is the greatest evidence.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an extremely masculine exercise, but Shen Qi takes it for granted that he relies on Ren Mai to operate his internal force, which is obviously extremely wrong.

This is also the fact that his meridians have been washed twice and continuously washed by the immortal aura, so that he can withstand the wandering of true qi of different attributes. If I were someone else, I am afraid that I would have died a long time ago due to the burst of the meridians!

Zhang Ze looked at Shen Qi's thoughtful appearance, and said secretly in his heart: If you can calm down and think, you can still be saved!

After thinking for a while, Shen Qi stood up respectfully, bowed deeply to Zhang Ze, and said, "Thank you Brother Zhang for reminding me......!

"Okay! I agreed. Zhang Ze nodded.

"Brother Zhang, I haven't said anything yet. Shen Qi couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Brother Shen wants me to call you the method of internal power operation, right? I can teach you. Zhang Ze said.

As soon as Shen Qiyi heard that the other party was willing to teach, and even his title changed from "Shen Shengzi" to "Brother Shen", he couldn't help but look overjoyed, and he was busy bowing down to thank him.

Zhang Ze waved his hand abruptly and said, "Wait! Brother Shen doesn't need to be in a hurry to thank me." You must know that there is no free lunch in the world, and I am not teaching you for free. ”

Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It should be, I don't know what Brother Zhang wants?"

Zhang Ze glanced at Shen Qi deeply and said, "If I say, Brother Shen, you give up challenging Master Liang, are you willing?"

Shen Qi opened his mouth, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do it." ”

Zhang Ze's expression couldn't help but darken, and he immediately waved his hand and sighed: "Sure enough, it's as I thought." Brother Shen doesn't need to apologize, and it must not be your intention to challenge Master Liang. I'll ask you to give up the challenge, but it's a bit of a strong man's difficulty. ”

Shen Qi nodded with a wry smile and said, "Please...... Brother Zhang, change the conditions!"

Zhang Ze smiled and waved his hand, "I'm a Taoist priest." I should have no desires and no desires, just because Master Liang is my mentor and treats me like a parent. That's why I want to persuade Brother Shen to give up the challenge. Since this is not possible, I have nothing more to ask for. ”

When Shen Qi heard this, his expression couldn't help but darken, and he immediately reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "That being the case, it's time for us to leave." It's not getting early, we have to rush to the Taihe Sword Sect as soon as possible. ”

After speaking, Shen Qi turned around, Jiu'er hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the two were about to leave.

"Brother Shen, slow down!" Zhang Ze hurriedly shouted, and then said, "I didn't say I wouldn't teach you!"

Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately looked at Zhang Ze, his expression was a little complicated, and said, "But Brother Zhang, didn't you say that there is no free lunch in the world?"

Zhang Ze smiled: "But friends will also invite you to dinner!"

"Friend......" Shen Qi was stunned, then grinned and said, "Brother Zhang, I am deeply honored to know you as a friend." ”

Zhang Ze smiled and said, "Brother Shen, don't say it too early, you should feel honored, maybe it's me." ”

After speaking, Zhang Ze looked at the sky and said, "It seems that no one else will come today." If you don't dislike it, why don't you go and sit with me?"

Shen Qi glanced at Jiu'er, Jiu'er smiled softly, and said, "You are in charge." ”

Shen Qi couldn't help but move in his heart, hugged Jiu'er hard, and then said to Zhang Ze: "Since Brother Zhang invited, then we might as well obey our fate respectfully." ”

Zhang Ze secretly pursed his lips and said to himself: "Tsk, I was fed another handful of dog food!"

Shen Qi had excellent hearing, so he naturally heard Zhang Ze's self-talk, but he secretly said in great confusion: What does Brother Zhang mean? Someone fed him...... Dog food? Doesn't the dog eat leftovers and whatevers, is there food specifically for dogs?

Zhang Ze naturally didn't know that Shen Qi had heard him talking to himself, so he nodded at the two of them and said, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

After saying that, Zhang Ze turned around first and walked towards the woods on the side.

Shen Qi and Jiu'er glanced at each other, and also took the horses and followed.

The three of them walked for about half an hour, and the surrounding woods suddenly became open, and Shen Qi looked at the scene in front of him with some incredulity.

About thirty paces in front of the three of them, there was a small lake, and there was a very thick tree by the lake, and there was a small wooden house on the tree!

"House...... On the tree?" Shen Qi couldn't help but look at Zhang Ze in surprise.

Jiu'er's eyes were also full of surprise.

Zhang Ze looked at the tree house with a somewhat complicated expression, and said, "It's called a 'tree house', and it can be regarded as a construction method in my hometown. ”

Shen Qi couldn't help but blurt out: "Your hometown is amazing......! Tree House!"

Zhang Ze grinned and said, "It's more interesting in the house, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Okay!" Shen Qi couldn't help but nod.

Zhang Ze grinned, walked quickly to the big tree, stretched out his hand and pressed it in an inconspicuous place on the side, and then a wooden ladder fell above his head.

"Tricks?" Jiu'er couldn't help but be surprised, then shook her head again, and said, "It's not right...... This is not the Zhu family's trick, nor is it like the trick of the 'Shenmu Hall'......"

Zhang Ze smiled and said, "It's just a small mechanism that doesn't go into the stream, and the girl doesn't need to care." ”

After speaking, Zhang Ze climbed the wooden ladder first, and entered the wooden house after a few breaths.

Shen Qi's curiosity rose and he climbed into the wooden house behind Zhang Ze.

Jiu'er looked at the place where Zhang Ze had pressed before, and then followed the two and climbed into the wooden house.

The decoration in the treehouse is not complicated, but there are all kinds of daily necessities such as wooden beds, tables and chairs, and tableware, and most of them are all wooden.

"Brother Zhang, these ...... You did it all?" Shen Qi asked in surprise, pointing to the objects around him.

Zhang Ze grinned and said, "On weekdays, there is nothing else to do except practice and homework, so I built such a tree house by this lake." ”

"This ......" Although Shen Qi had already guessed, he was still very surprised when he heard Zhang Ze admit it himself, so he asked, "How long did it take you to make it to such a scale?"

"Two years. Zhang Ze said lightly.

"Two years?" Shen Qi couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Could it be that you come down from the mountain every day?"

Zhang Ze smiled bitterly and said, "I live here...... It's been two years. ”

Hearing this, Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately understood that Zhang Ze probably didn't live here out of his own will, and what should have happened to make him the guardian of this Taihe Sword Sect.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, who is this 'mountain keeper'?" Shen Qi couldn't help asking.

Zhang Ze beckoned Shen Qi and Jiu'er to sit down on the wooden bench on the side, and then spoke: "This mountain keeper is just like the gatekeeper of the ordinary compound. If there are people who don't open their eyes to challenge the sect, the mountain guards are the first line of defense. If someone sneaks into the sect, the mountain guards will stop it. If someone in the sect offends an outsider, the mountain keeper will come forward to negotiate. In short, the mountain guards are the guardians of the sect, and even if they risk their own lives, they must not let the sect get into trouble. ”

"Oh!" Shen Qi nodded, then frowned and asked, "What does that ...... 'defense line' mean?"

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The line of defense...... It is a defensive position formed to defend against the enemy's attack. That's probably what it means. ”

"Wouldn't it take a lot of people to form a 'line of defense'?" Shen Qi asked with some puzzlement.

Zhang Ze couldn't help but be stunned, then coughed and said, "What's that, it's a comparison...... The important ...... to describe the mountain keepers Hmmm!"

"Oh......" Shen Qi scratched his head and said, "That Brother Zhang is really powerful!

Zhang Ze opened his mouth, then got up and took out a porcelain bottle from the wooden cabinet on the side, then returned to his original position with a complicated expression and sat down, and said, "This is the wine I brewed myself based on my memory, if Brother Shen doesn't dislike it, let's taste it together?"

Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "Brother Zhang is really ...... It's all about it! Compared with Brother Zhang, it's really ...... in the next place."

Jiu'er held Shen Qi's hand tightly and smiled gently.

Zhang Ze sighed and said, "This Brother Shen is ten times stronger than Zaixia!"

Jiu'er couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly turned her face away, not daring to look at Shen Qi.

Zhang Ze gave Shen Qi a thumbs up and said, "Brother Shen is really ...... Young and promising, for brother...... I can't even hold the hand of the person I like! Compared to Brother Shen, I really ......."

Shen Qi scratched his head a little embarrassed.

To be honest, he and Jiu'er haven't been together for a long time, but the two seem to have known each other for a long time. It's impossible to say who liked whom first, in short, the two liked each other like that, and then they were together.

"Poof—"

With a bang, Zhang Ze lined up the seal of the wine jar, took out three beautifully carved wooden bowls from the side and placed them on the wooden table in front, and then poured the wine jar.

The pale yellow liquor falls into the bowl, and a rich aroma wafts out.

"It's so fragrant!" Shen Qi couldn't help but exclaim.

Although Shen Qi doesn't know about wine, whether it is the fine wine he drank in Yingxue Mountain Villa or the tribute wine "Xuyangchun" he drank in Yunkeju, it seems that there is no such strong aroma of wine.

Zhang Ze grinned and said, "Two, let's try it?"

Shen Qi couldn't wait to pick up the wooden bowl and send it to his nose, and immediately a completely different fragrance came over.

"Huh, this wine ......" Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then took a sip lightly.

"Yes...... The smell of fruit!" Shen Qi couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "It smells like apricots...... There is also the taste of oranges...... Well...... It still smells like plums?"

Hearing this, Jiu'er couldn't help but take a sip, and then said, "I taste the taste of peaches and pears." Hmmm? No, no, it seems to be a ...... Be...... The smell of lychee!"

Zhang Ze also took a sip slowly, closed his eyes and tasted it slowly for a long time, and said, "It's not bad, I didn't expect it to be successful in the first winemaking." ”

"Brother Zhang, what kind of name is this?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask.

"It's called Baiguoxiang, which is made from dozens of different fruits and fermented many times, and it is a peculiar fruit wine from my hometown. It is best enjoyed by women. Zhang Ze said.

Shen Qi's heart moved, and he said secretly: It is the most suitable for women to drink? Why did Brother Zhang deliberately brew this kind of wine? Could it be that it was for ......

"Brother Zhang, the person you like...... Is it Miss Su?" Shen Qi asked in a low voice.

Zhang Ze was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately his face turned red, and said, "You...... What are you talking nonsense, how can I ...... to her?"

"Brother Zhang, I didn't say that Miss Su is the senior sister of your faction, Miss Su Jingxuan. Shen Qi said with a smile.

Zhang Ze was stunned, then lowered his head, and drank the fruit fragrance silently, but no longer spoke.
