Grass is full of life.

In the back garden of the Ming Mansion, Ming Fan and his wife, dressed in casual clothes, were chatting and laughing with a beautiful woman in white.

This beautiful woman's surname is Bai, her name is Bai Shuang, she is the wife of the head of the Cloud Sword Sect, and she is Du Mu's biological mother.

Now that she is a mother, she can't see the traces left by the years, she is nearly forty years old, and her skin is still blown, and she is no different from a twenty-year-old girl.

makes Du Erniang, who usually pays great attention to maintenance, I don't know how envious she is.

The two Mingxuan, who had just returned from the Fubin Building, happened to meet the three elders talking and laughing, and came over to salute and greet them.

Ming Fan was a little surprised: "Why did you come back so early?"

Young people make friends, which is a good thing and needs encouragement.

Take Du Mu as an example, this withdrawn personality makes those of them who are elders not know how much to worry about.

Ming Xuan replied: "Zhou Wei has official business, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, and Meng Li also has to cultivate, so he came back early." ”

For Meng Li's impression, Ming Fan was very profound, and said with a smile: "You still have to cultivate so late, what a hard-working young man!"

Ming Xuan said: "Indeed, Meng Li is the hardest martial artist I have ever seen. ”

"It's not just in martial arts. Du Mu reminded at the right time.

Mingxuan looked at Baishuang and said sincerely: "Uncle, Xuan'er has something to ask for. ”

"Oh, that's a rare thing. White Frost chuckled, and suddenly became interested.

"I would like to ask my aunt to take in an apprentice. ”

That's right, the master that Ming Xuan wants to help Meng Li find is Baishuang.

As a sect of Fu Jian cultivators, the level of talisman making is naturally not bad, and the teaching of talisman making for the disciples in the sect is in charge of Bai Shuang.

Hearing Ming Xuan's request, without waiting for Bai Shuang to react, Ming Fan's father was displeased.

"How dare Xuan'er be presumptuous!"

The talisman should not be passed on lightly, how can this apprentice say that he can receive it?

Bai Shuang waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law doesn't need to care, I'm very curious, who can make Xuan'er try so hard." ”

Ming Xuan said: "It's Meng Li." ”

"Oh, it's the boy with the wooden knife!"

Hearing Meng Li's name, Bai Shuang was even more curious, as far as she knew, this person didn't have any foundation in talisman making.

A person who is extremely talented in martial arts, but has no foundation in talisman making, suddenly wants to learn talismans, isn't this a sacrifice of the basics, what is it?

Ming Fan said in a deep voice: "Xuan'er, don't mess around anymore, we all know the situation of Meng Li's little pavilion owner, as his friend, if you don't stop him, forget it, how can you help the abuse?"

Ming Xuan took a deep breath, bowed respectfully to the three elders, and said: "Father, mother, aunt, you don't know much about Meng Li's situation, now Meng Li is in danger, and he urgently needs a talisman to improve his strength, and he doesn't have no foundation at all, he once made a talisman, and even the eight forging martial artists saw it. ”

"And Meng Licai has only refined the body for six forgings!"

Du Mu added that he knew very well what this meant when he learned talisman making since he was a child.

"Refining the body for six forgings, but being able to make a talisman that threatens the eight forging martial artists?"

After hearing this, Bai Shuang was secretly frightened, like this talisman that far exceeded his own strength, it was not an ordinary talisman, and it could be made already explained a lot of things.

If it weren't for Ming Xuan and Du Mu telling her, she would even think it was a funny joke.

White Frost pinched the tips of her black hair, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Okay then! I reluctantly accepted Meng Li's disciple. ”

Seeing the smile on his mother's face, Du Mu lowered his head, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping.

Meng Li, ask for more blessings from you!

After returning to the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall, Meng Li took out the Hundred Broken Sword Technique and began to formally study.

This Hundred Broken Knife Method is a second-grade knife method, and in terms of power, it is quite acceptable. But compared with his three-style knife technique, it is still a little worse.

Of course, as an accumulation of vision, this knife method is still a good choice.

The Hundred Broken Knife Method, as the name of this knife technique, has a total of 100 styles, which is claimed to be able to deal with all situations, and is the "encyclopedia" of knife techniques.

After reading the sword technique carefully and knowing it in his heart, Meng Li did not immediately cultivate, but took out the mysterious jade plate.

"I don't know if it will work?"

Holding the jade plaque in his hand, his heart was full of anticipation.

This jade plaque has the ability to perfect the exercises, and I don't know if it will have an effect on this knife technique.

Full of anticipation, Meng Li put the jade plate up.

The next moment, the ghostly light flashed, and the secret book of the Hundred Broken Sword Technique turned into ashes.

Unable to clean up the ashes, Meng Li couldn't wait to pick up the jade plaque.

As I have said before, this sword technique came from the imperial court's military department, and it took a lot of manpower to compile it for nearly a year. With such a cheat, it is close to perfection, and Meng Li is very curious about what this sword technique will become after it is perfected by the jade plate.

The brilliance on the jade plaque flows, and the perfected knife technique emerges on it.

To Meng Li's surprise, after being perfected by the jade brand, there were only three moves left.

What is the concept of reducing from a hundred moves to three moves?

"Is this Hundred Broken Sword Technique so watery?"

Looking at the few knives on the jade plate, Meng Li couldn't cry or laugh.

When he was reading the cheats before, he had already discovered that in the entire hundred sword techniques, there were only three moves that could really help him. At this time, these three moves are the enhanced version of the three-style knife technique.

The new knife method has no name, and Meng Li called it separately for the sake of convenience: breaking one, breaking ten, and breaking hundred.

From one to hundred, it also has the meaning of commemorating the hundred broken knife method.

In the process of learning the new knife technique, Meng Li was pleasantly surprised to find that these three knife techniques were not as simple as he imagined.

The reason why he was pleasantly surprised was not because of how powerful the knife technique was, but because of the skills involved in the use of some sword intent in these three sword techniques.

It was very helpful for Meng Li, who was bent on practicing the sword intent to make a long sound.

Recently, a major event happened in Xizhou City.

A third-rate gang in the city called the Zhudong Gang was removed from Xizhou City overnight.

Hundreds of people in the gang, including maids and subordinates, without exception, all died under the poison.

At the scene, only the word "desperate" written in blood and water was left.

All of a sudden, rumors spread in Xizhou City.

And these rumors all point to the desperate miracle doctor.

As we all know, the ability of the desperate god to heal the sick and save people is unparalleled in the world, and his ability to use poison is also not weak.

It is known in the rivers and lakes that the person with the highest ability to use poison is Liao Yan, one of the six devils.

And the desperate miracle doctors, who are also the six devils, are the top people who use poison the most, except for Liao Yan.

At the scene of the Zhudong Gang crime, Qiu Yanming, a white-haired city guard from Xizhou, personally arrived at the scene to check the progress of the case.

Two years later will be Qiu Yanming's 70th birthday, this old man who is almost old should have returned to his hometown five years ago, but it coincided with the Beiliang riots, and there were military horses on the border ready to move.

At that time, Emperor Zhiwen issued three gold medal orders and arrows, ordering Qiu Yanming to guard Xizhou City, and as a last resort, Qiu Yanming, who was already old, could only stay, but he didn't expect to stay for five years.

In five years, Qiu Yanming tried his best to develop Xizhou City, not only stabilizing the situation, but also developing Xizhou City into a more prosperous state, making Xizhou the upper three states of the six states of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

With the development and growth of Xizhou City, Xizhou City has become more and more stable, and such a tragedy like this has not happened for a long time.

Qiu Yanming's appearance this time is to tell everyone that Xizhou is not a place of lawlessness, and those who want to do evil again will definitely suffer a heavy blow from him.

And after he came here, three young people with good temperament quickly caught his attention.

The three of them were holding white swords and dressed in white, and they were the three Liu Yun of the White Sword Cave.

Liu Yun covered his mouth and nose, looking at the hundreds of dead bodies spread out in the courtyard with a gloomy face.

More than 100 members of the Zhudong gang were poisoned at the same time, but no one noticed it, and the murderer's poisoning methods were so high that it was breathtaking.

You must know that the third-rate gangs in Xizhou City are no better than the third-rate gangs in other cities.

As the main city of Xizhou, the third-rate gangs that can gain a firm foothold in Xizhou City must at least have a master of the Qi Acceptance Realm.

Like the Zhudong Gang, there are three Qi Acceptance Realms, among which the highest cultivator is the one who is about to break through the transformation stage.

If you put it in Jieshui City, you can create a second-rate sect.

"Senior Brother Xing, how is the investigation?"

Xing Ming was squatting in front of a deceased person to check the situation at this time.

Hearing Senior Brother Liu's inquiry, he re-covered the deceased with a white cloth, got up and said, "Senior brother, you guessed right, this matter is indeed related to the demon we are looking for. ”

Not long ago, the three of them were investigating the traces of demons in the city, and they came across this murder by chance.

Before this case, there was also a murder in a town outside Xizhou City, and the victim was also poisoned and died, and the death after poisoning was exactly the same as that of more than 100 members of the Zhudong Gang.

And that case is one of the clues they have to track down the traces of the demon.

"I know, how could it be so coincidental, just after the desperate doctor arrived in Xizhou City, such a big murder happened in the city, obviously someone is planting the blame. ”

Li Qifeng was puzzled: "But why did the murderer do this?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a grudge between the rivers and lakes, maybe it's just a pleasure to kill people. ”

As Liu Yun was talking, he saw a gray-haired old man walking over.

Seeing the old man, Liu Yun looked solemn and immediately greeted him.

"Meet Qiu Chengshou. ”

Qiu Yanming smiled heartily and said, "Boy Liu Yun, I didn't expect to meet you here, how is your master lately?"

"The tutor has always been in good health, thank you for the care. ”

Li Yun studied under the White Sword Cave, as the second-ranked sword in the White Sword Cave, his mentor in the White Sword Cave is naturally not simple, and he is the Great Elder in the White Sword Cave whose status is second only to the cave master.

The Great Elder is also close to Gu Xi now, and he formed a deep friendship with Qiu Yanming when he was young, and he is a very good friend.

The fact that Xizhou City was able to develop so smoothly was not unrelated to the Great Elder's support for Qiu Yanming.

As if remembering the past, Qiu Yanming said with emotion: "Back then, I traveled to the city with your master to appreciate the weather in Xizhou, but now I don't have this opportunity. By the way, Senior Nephew Liu Yun, what are you doing here?"

Liu Yundao: "Not long ago, the government sent a task of assistance to the sect, and the juniors were ordered by the master to come down the mountain with two junior brothers. After a series of investigations, it was found that there was some involvement in the case here. ”
