Tian Zhiyu and Wu Lihan's room is in the wing room of the front yard, the room is very large, and all the facilities are complete, after the maids cleaned it just now, the room is spotless at this time. Since the charcoal fire has just been lit, it has not yet fully warmed up.

Okra gave the two of them a brief introduction to the interior of the room, then left the two of them and went out by themselves.

Tian Zhiyu and Wu Lihan's room was next to each other, Tian Zhiyu did not go back to his room at this time, he knew that Wu Lihan had some opinions on Ma Bencai, and he was afraid that he would be a little uncomfortable living in Ma Bencai's house, so he said: "Brother Wu Lihan, I know that you have never liked Brother Ma very much, now that we live in his house, will you be uncomfortable?"

Wu Lihan had almost complete trust in Tian Zhiyu, so he confessed: "When I was in prison, I thought that Ma Bencai was too a philistine and always discussed how to make money, so I didn't think much of him. But since you arrived, I've found that this man doesn't have bad ideas, and he's much better than a lot of vicious businessmen. The okra maid just now also said so many good things about him, so I thought that I might have been too narrow-minded before. It's not bad to make money in business, as long as you don't oppress others and don't make black money, then he is a good person. ”

"Yes, some time ago, I thought that Brother Ma was a shrewd businessman, but I didn't expect him to treat the subordinates in the house so kindly, it seems that his commercial success is no accident. “

Wu Lihan nodded and said, "Well, and he is really good to you to Zhiyu, let you live in his mansion, and is willing to take you to Jiangnan Province, so that I will be stained." ”

Tian Zhiyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Wulihan, you are too polite, you and I have just arrived here, and it is appropriate to take care of each other." Besides, you have helped me so much and made me realize the beauty of internal strength, and I should thank you for it. ”

"You don't have to be polite to Zhiyu," Wu Lihan and Tian Zhiyu sat by the fire, boiled a pot of water on the charcoal fire, and then said: "Speaking of internal strength, Zhiyu has already entered the middle grade, but if you don't have the corresponding internal strength, it will be difficult to improve again, do you have any plans? Find a sect to learn art, or what?"

This is also what Tian Zhiyu has been having a headache recently, and after entering the middle grade, he found that it was becoming more and more difficult to control the true qi in his body.

If he cultivates according to the mantra of the lower grade, then the true qi is quite obedient, but it can no longer be substantially improved, whenever he tries to improve the true qi, the true qi immediately begins to make trouble, and does not obey his command.

In order to prevent him from going mad, he had to give up the cultivation of the middle grade.

"I don't have a thought yet. If you want to find a sect, first of all, I don't know if people are willing to accept me, and even if they are willing to accept it, I don't know if I can stand the rules of others," Tian Zhiyu said truthfully: "I want to follow Brother Ma to Jiangnan Road this time to see if there is a suitable sect there." ”

Thinking of this, Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but feel a little emotional, I used to read martial arts novels, there were so many famous factions, some were admirable, some were despicable, the key was the style and character of the leader.

At that time, I thought that it was difficult to see a person's character clearly? Why could Yue Buqun disguise himself as a gentleman for so long? Now that I think about it, it is really difficult to see a person clearly.

Just like he is now, he knows that there is an infinite yearning for rivers and lakes in this world, and it can be said that he has now stepped into this rivers and lakes.

He also knows that there are many sects in this Jianghu, and through the popularization of Ma Bencai, he has also learned about the characteristics of some sects and the character of their leaders, but these sects, which are righteous and which are evil, and their leaders, which are good and which are bad, Tian Zhiyu has no way to know.

Or in this river and lake, how can there be absolute justice and evil, good and bad?

Maybe he chose a sect and people accepted him, but after a long time, he found that this sect also had a lot of dark places, what should he do?

Or maybe this sect is very upright, but the strength is average, and he can't learn advanced kung fu, what should he do?

This is probably "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain", you can easily distinguish between good and bad when you read novels, but when you are involved in it, everything becomes blurred.

Seeing that Tian Zhiyu was deep in thought, Wu Lihan did not bother, and after the water boiled, he poured a cup for both of them. When Tian Zhiyu raised his head, Wu Lihan said, "Zhiyu, I'll try your internal strength again." ”

Tian Zhiyu gave his hand to Wu Lihan, and Wu Li Han gently held the pulse and felt Tian Zhiyu's true qi with his true qi.

When he first felt Wu Lihan's true qi, Tian Zhiyu obviously felt that his true qi immediately formed a defense, wanting to resist the invasion of Wu Lihan's true qi.

Later, he may feel that Ulhan's true qi is not aggressive, so he slowly begins to accept and even guide Ulhan's true qi to operate in his body.

At first, Tian Zhiyu was still confused, but gradually he found that Wu Lihan's true qi was running more and more regularly, and the acupuncture points he walked through were also fixed.

Slowly, Tian Zhiyu figured out what had happened, Wu Lihan was helping himself, he was telling himself how to run the enhanced True Qi, he was teaching the Zhongpin Nei Gong Method.

When the True Qi in Tian Zhiyu's body learned a new route, Wu Lihan slowly withdrew his True Qi from his body, and then asked, "Zhiyu, do you feel it?"

"Big Brother Ullihan......"

Wu Lihan stopped what Tian Zhiyu wanted to say, and said, "Don't say it, just experience it yourself." ”

Tian Zhiyu was a little moved, last time Wu Lihan said that the middle grade and top grade internal strength of a sect must not be passed on to people outside the sect, and even the disciples within the sect may not necessarily teach it, and at this time he secretly taught it to himself.

At this moment, words are superfluous, Wu Lihan has also clearly refused to worship him as a teacher, and Tian Zhiyu also prefers the two to get along as brothers, if they become masters and apprentices, it always feels weird.

Tian Zhiyu was familiar with the running line of Zhongpin Zhenqi while it was hot, and this time it seemed to open a new world, and the problems that he couldn't figure out in front of him suddenly became clear.

After running it a few times, Tian Zhiyu had mastered the cultivation method, and he slowly opened his eyes and saw that Wu Lihan was looking at him.

"Zhiyu, you are really a martial arts wizard that you have not met in a hundred years, it has only been about a quarter of an hour, and you have completely mastered it," Wu Lihan was shocked by Tian Zhiyu again.

At that time, when the master taught him the Zhongpin Nei Gong Mental Method, it took him three months to learn how to operate, and it took him another half a year to completely control the true qi in his body.

"Thank you, Brother Ulihan. Tian Zhiyu also felt the change in himself, and couldn't help but express his heartfelt gratitude to Wu Lihan again.

Ullihan gestured to him that he didn't have to be polite anymore.

"Zhiyu, as long as you practice diligently, I believe that you will soon be able to go further, with your talent, it is a matter of time before you enter the top grade. Wu Lihan thought to himself, maybe your birth will shock the whole rivers and lakes, I really hope to see the performance of the people in the rivers and lakes at that time, thinking of this, he couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh.

"Brother Ulihan, why are you so happy?"

Wu Lihan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I think of a little happy thing." By the way, do you also have to build a handy weapon? I know that there is a sword-forging master in Taiyuan, called Zhuo Buzhi, do you want to go to him and see if there is a suitable sword for you?"

Walking the rivers and lakes, it is still very important to have a weapon, not only to defend yourself, but also to look more like a chivalrous warrior, but I can't help but feel a little discouraged when I think I don't have a penny on me.

"I'd love to have a weapon, but I'm penniless now, so Master Zhuo probably won't sell it to me," Tian Zhiyu smiled.

"It's okay, you can go and see if you don't have money, pick and choose, and it's not too late to buy it when you have money," Ulihan said.

Tian Zhiyu thought about it, so he agreed with Wu Lihan to go to Zhuo Buzhi in the afternoon to have a look.

After eating at noon, Tian Zhiyu and Okra inquired about the location of Zhuo Bu, so they went out with Wu Lihan.

As the first important town in the north of Dongyang Kingdom, Taiyuan City is also a historical city, and its layout and planning are unique.

Ma Bencai's house is very close to the Jin Palace, which is the center of the city and the most prosperous area. The road was built wide enough to accommodate two horse-drawn carriages side by side. There are many stalls on both sides of the road, selling everything from food and drink supplies to household clothing items.

Since today is the Spring Festival, the streets are very lively, and many families who are usually reluctant to buy alcohol and meat will also buy some to celebrate the New Year.

Tian Zhiyu looked around carefully while walking, and it felt that there was still a big gap between it and the ancient streets in the TV series, people's clothes were generally not so bright, and most of people's clothes were hessy or cotton, and they looked wrinkled.

Moreover, the height of people in this era is generally not high, and it is rare to reach more than 1.8 meters by eyesight. So Tian Zhiyu and Wu Lihan walked in the crowd, quite a bit of a stand out from the crowd.

The two walked all the way and inquired, and finally found a very large courtyard in the northwest corner of Taiyuan City, the wall of the courtyard is not high, and when you look up, you can see the fire inside, and the surrounding area is full of a slightly sour smell.

However, the door of this courtyard is quite magnificent, with a plaque hanging on it, and two big characters written in Lishu: Longquan

The two walked to the door, Tian Zhiyu knocked on the door, there was no response, and after waiting for a while, Tian Zhiyu tried to push the door, but the door was not locked.

They walked in and saw a scene of great excitement in the courtyard. Seven or eight stoves were blazing, and the molten iron in the pot was boiling, and there were people who were sorting molds, forging sword blanks with hammers, and helping to change the water at the side.

The two of them were watching, and then a middle-aged man came over and asked, "Are the two of you going to buy weapons?"

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "We want to see if there is a suitable sword." ”

The man made a gesture of invitation and said, "Come with me, those two." ”

Tian Zhiyu and the others followed him into the room, and saw that the walls of the room were covered with all kinds of weapons, in addition to swords, axes, hooks, forks, and so on.

"What price do you want to see?" the man asked.

"What's the price?" Tian Zhiyu asked casually as he looked around.

"There are from five taels to five hundred taels," the man said, pointing to a pile of swords placed on a table, "This is a handful of five taels of silver, which is the most suitable for ordinary people to defend themselves." ”

Then he pointed to the sword with a stand on the wooden frame next to him: "At this time, ten taels of silver are more suitable for young masters with little strength, the price is not expensive, and it is easy to use." ”

Then he introduced swords of various price points one by one. The more expensive the sword, the better the placement and the more beautiful the decoration.

Finally, he pointed to the position in the middle of the wall and said: "This sword is made by our master Zhuo himself, the material is made of fine iron, the fire is burned with carbon from a century-old tree, after 7749 processes, thousands of tempering, and placed in a deep well for 7749 days before casting this sword, so the price is also the most expensive, to tattoo five hundred taels of silver." ”

"Can I take it down and have a look?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

The man nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Tian Zhiyu took off the sword, and suddenly felt heavy and weighty. However, it was much lighter than the iron sword on Ullihan's body. The scabbard of this sword is also iron, with elaborate carvings on it.

He slowly pulled out the blade of the sword, and after a flash of light flashed in his eyes, the sword appeared in front of him.

He looked at the sword carefully, it looked extremely sharp, he casually made a few moves, and felt that it was quite easy to use, but thinking about the price, he had to reluctantly return the sword.

The man saw that Tian Zhiyu was dressed ordinarily, and it didn't seem like the master who could afford five hundred taels of silver, so he said: "Childe, in fact, if you wear it with you, there is no need to buy such an expensive one, an ordinary sword is enough." A sword that is too good can be an easy target for thieves. ”

Tian Zhiyu was just about to say something, when another middle-aged man came out of the inner room and said to the guy: "Old Han, how is the short sword that the master asked the guest is forged?"

The guy surnamed Han immediately replied: "It's already polishing, just a moment." ”

The man said hurry up again, and was about to go back to the inner room, when he turned around, he looked at Tian Zhiyu, and then at Ulhan, and when he saw the sword behind Ullihan, his eyes were immediately attracted.
