The blade is like a mountain, the knife intent follows, and the true qi is rampant!

There seemed to be resistance ahead, hindering the knife. Meng Li pushed it out, already out of breath.

Countless times to swing the knife, it is not as expensive as this one.

Call...... Call...... Call......

Raising his hand, the young man who looked at the wooden knife in his hand smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, if you want to integrate the knife intent into the knife technique, it is not that simple. ”

Mastering the sword intent does not mean that it can be used freely. It is very difficult to practice to the point where you can use your sword intent and exert the strongest power with each sword.

As far as Meng Li knew, even Zhuang Yu from the Seven Star Sect could not reach this realm.

The knife intent is not the end of the knife technique, for everyone who has been practicing the knife for decades, mastering the knife intent is just the beginning.

And the predecessors have summarized countless times, whether it is sword intent or sword intent. For the use of artistic conception, a very obvious boundary is also derived.

That's Enlightenment!

The so-called clarity is enlightenment, control, and use, which comes from the heart and is instinctive.

Only when you reach the clear realm, the knife intent will come out at will, so that the knife will be shot, and the knife will follow.

Of course, Meng Li is not unable to follow the sword with the sword now, but this is only the consumption of forcibly issuing the sword, which is something that no martial artist can bear.

This is also the reason why many warriors only use artistic conception as a killer feature in the early stage of mastering artistic conception.

If you want to achieve clear sword intent, in addition to understanding, you must also practice, which is very difficult, but it can't stop Meng Li's determination.

Meng Li took out the knife again and again, and endured the pain of draining his strength again and again, until he was exhausted and carried to the house by Wang Ergou.

After a night's rest, thanks to the miraculous effect of hard work, Meng Li had recovered as before dawn.

Early in the morning, when Wang Ergou saw Meng Li walking out of the room refreshed and playing a set of knife techniques, the whole person was about to be stupid.

Thinking of the picture of the other party lying on the table last night, looking haggard and almost dead, Wang Ergou couldn't help but scold secretly: Is this still a fucking human?

The Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall is open for business.

Wang Ergou took a group of little guys to practice boxing, humming haha, resounding through the martial arts hall.

There were passers-by in front of the door, and when they heard the sound of martial arts, they cast curious glances, and the Luo family sisters glanced at each other and took the initiative to carry out propaganda.

Everything was in order.

After Meng Li practiced the sword technique, he practiced the boxing technique with everyone, and walked out of the martial arts hall with satisfaction in this thriving atmosphere.

There are crowds of people outside the street, and Bei'anfang is still bustling.

Meng Li turned around and walked north, heading straight for the Bai Qi Painting Workshop on North Street.

Yesterday, Xue Baiqi was sent to the art workshop, and Meng Li returned to the martial arts hall to rest, thinking of taking a nap and taking a look at Xue Baiqi before dark, but he didn't expect to sleep directly and slept until the second half of the night.

Meng Li is still more worried about Xue Baiqi's situation, since the killing of Chang Ming Shengsheng, Xue Baiqi has been arrested and put in prison, although he has not been tortured, the mental pressure is unimaginable.

What's more, Xue Baiqi painted all night before he was arrested.

Bai Qi Painting Workshop, the door is closed.

This was a situation that Meng Li had already expected, and it was not unexpected.

stepped forward and knocked on the door, waited for a while, the door was opened from the inside, and a man in armor appeared in front of Meng Li.

Zhou Ming looked at Meng Li, who was shocked, and grinned.

"I didn't think we'd meet again!"

"Why are you here?"

When I knocked on the door before, I saw Shanxiuzhai on the opposite side, and the door was also closed.

Meng Li thought that Fan Xianlin, who took care of Xue Baiqi in the workshop, would be the one who opened the door.

"My horse is here, how can I not come?"

Zhou Ming, who walked out of the door, made a little joke, and his face changed: "I came here with the commander." ”

As soon as the words fell, a burly old man with full momentum strode out of the workshop, it was Xue Bawu, the captain of Jieshui City.

Meng Li had seen Xue Bawu in the Chuanwu assessment and was deeply impressed by this indifferent old man.

Seeing Xue Bawu, Meng Li stepped back slightly and saluted.

"Commander Xue!"

Xue Bawu glanced at Meng Li and said coldly: "Not bad!"

What's good?

Just when Meng Li was puzzled by this clueless sentence, he heard Xue Bawu turn his back to the door and say to Xue Baiqi, who was standing in the door with an indifferent expression: "You are so self-conscious." ”

After speaking, he strode away, and walked resolutely.

Looking at this old man who said he would leave, Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and said to Xue Baiqi: "Little young master, you can think about what the commander said, after all, you are a family." ”

Family!

The three words that had been lost for a long time made Xue Baiqi's gaze complicated.

Seeing the two leave, Xue Baiqi looked at Meng Li and said bitterly: "Let you see and laugh." ”

Meng Li smiled slightly, signaling Xue Baiqi not to care, but his heart was already overturned.

Xue Baiqi and Xue Bawu are ......

The problem is self-evident.

Meng Li was shocked in his heart and made himself behave as usual. He walked in from the position where Xue Baiqi got out of the way, and saw Fan Xianlin who was cleaning up the guest room.

There were two cups of tea on the guest table, and the tea was full and steaming.

"Brother Meng, please take a seat. ”

Xue Baiqi came to the guest table and motioned for Meng Li to sit down

Meng Li smiled slightly and sat down.

Fan Xianlin walked over to greet Meng Li, took the tea on the table away, and soon brought two new cups of hot tea.

Meng Li took the teacup and said with emotion: "Miss Fan is so virtuous, Brother Xue is so blessed." ”

Fan Xianlin's face flushed, and she retreated back shyly.

Xue Baiqi smiled bitterly: "Brother Meng is making fun of us again. ”

Meng Li stared at Xue Baiqi and said with concern, "How does Brother Xue feel?"

Xue Baiqi said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Meng for your concern, I rested for one night, and there is no big problem." ”

"It's okay, so I can rest assured. ”

Xue Baiqi smiled and suddenly said, "Brother Meng, please wait a moment!"

In Meng Li's puzzled gaze, Xue Baiqi got up and left, and when he came back, he already had an extra picture scroll in his hand.

"It's!"

Meng Li stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the scroll, excited and nervous.

"This is my aunt's portrait!"

Xue Baiqi slowly opened the scroll, and a quiet and simple woman slowly appeared in front of Meng Li.

"Mother!"

When Meng Li saw the familiar woman in the portrait, his body was shocked, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Gentle and kind, this warm feeling......

That's right, this is his mother!

"Brother Xue, thank you!"

Meng Li spat out four words heavily, and these four words seemed to exhaust all his strength.

This painting carries all of Meng Li's thoughts and is a treasure that can be regarded as life.

Xue Baiqi rolled up the portrait and put it into Meng Li's hand very solemnly.

For Meng Li's excitement, he both understood and was moved, and the calamity he suffered before also felt that it was worth it.

Meng Li, whose nose was already sour, resisted the urge to cry. But just when he thought the matter was over, Xue Baiqi took out another painting.

"Brother Xue, you are ......"

Seeing the second painting, Meng Li didn't know why.

Did you paint two of them?

"It's a thank you!"

Xue Baiqi said, and then opened the painting.

On the pure white canvas, a beautiful woman in a pale blue palace gauze dress stood quietly.

The woman lifted the long sword upside down, and her expression was vivid, as if she was about to walk out of the painting.

This is not a portrait of a mother!

When Meng Li saw the portrait, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was amazed by the expressive brushwork on the portrait.

is a masterpiece, compared to the portrait of his mother that Xue Baiqi took out before, this one is another realm.

Xue Baiqi said: "This painting is the heirloom of my Xue family, Brother Meng saved Xue Baiqi in danger, Xue Baiqi had nothing to repay, but to give this painting to Brother Meng." ”

This painting is equivalent to Fan Xianlin's Shang Yu Qianhuang, which is Xue Baiqi's most important painting. Speaking of Shang said Qianhuang, I want to mention here that when he sent Xue Baiqi back yesterday, he had already returned the yellow cloth to Zhao.

"It's too valuable, I can't take it!"

Xue Baiqi held the portrait, his arms moved forward steadily, his eyes looked directly at Meng Li, and said in an unusually serious tone: "My character, Brother Meng, should know, if you don't accept it, I will not be able to mind it in my life." ”

Sure enough, it's Xue Baiqi's style, and he owes no favor!

"This ...... Alright!"

Meng Li, who knew Xue Baiqi, could only compromise, took the portrait and said with a wry smile: "I will keep this painting for you first, and if you want it in the future, you can come to me at any time." ”

Xue Baiqi smiled when he heard this, noncommittal.

Later, he asked about what happened in the past two days.

Meng Li told him frankly, from going out of the city to guarding the mansion to rushing to the Nancheng execution ground, the causes and consequences were explained in great detail.

When Xue Baiqi heard about the assassination of the city gate, he couldn't help but gasp and sweat for Meng Li.

Fan Xianlin came to the side, covered his mouth, and did not breathe.

I'm scared.

"Thank goodness you're all right!"

Meng Li said with a smile: "Yuan Yuting couldn't harm people, but he became a cocoon and bound himself, and if he died, no one in Jieshui City would embarrass you." ”

Xue Baiqi experienced this catastrophe, his mentality has grown unprecedentedly, and he is no longer the stupid scholar who does not understand the world, and sighed: "Maybe so!"

After sitting in the Baiqi Painting Workshop for a while, Meng Li got up and retired.

Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall, everything is as before.

As soon as Meng Li returned to the martial arts hall, Luo Ying ran over with the account book in his hand and boasted: "Childe, look, my sister and I have pulled a lot of business today!"

"Oh, really?"

Meng Li took the account book and looked at it, and his expression instantly stiffened.

"Help Aunt Liu from Beipingfang find the lost sheets?"

"Help Old Man Zhang catch ten red line earthworms?"

"Looking for a lost kitten?"

"Investigate the old king next door!"

Especially the last one, investigating the old Wang next door, did the person who posted this task feel that his head was green?

Meng Li took the account book, looked at the two sisters who seemed to be offering treasures, and said speechlessly: "This is the task you took today?"

Luo Xia said shyly: "These tasks are safe and risk-free. ”

No risk?

Meng Qian moved and said with a smile: "Then hand over these tasks to the little ones, just let them exercise." ”

The Luo family sisters nodded and stood silent.

Meng Li was puzzled: "What else is going on?"

Luo Ying hesitated: "Childe, do we want to leave for a while?"

"I remember you just came here two days ago, right?" Meng Li frowned and looked at the two of them carefully.

Between the sisters' brows, he seemed to see a hint of worry.

"Did something happen to you?"

"Childe ......"

Luo Xia was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Luo Ying, and saw Luo Ying smile slightly, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, Childe, we just want to go out to do some private things, and we will come back in a few days if we are fast." ”

"Oh, that's it!"

Meng Li didn't look into it in detail, since people wanted to do private affairs, he didn't want to ask too much.

Subsequently, the two were granted a few days off, and another hundred taels of silver were given to the two.

"You're visiting Boundary Water City for the first time, right? ”

"Thank you, Childe!"

Luo Ying took the silver and looked at Meng Li's departing back, with a hint of complexity in his expression.

For a maid like them, a hundred taels of silver is already a huge amount of money.
