Li Botao is forty-six years old this year, and as a martial artist who has been practicing diligently for more than 20 years, this time should be his peak period.

However, a battle for the master of the martial arts hall last year caused his old injury to recur, not only did he no longer have the possibility of cultivating to improve, but even his own cultivation realm showed signs of regression.

Mortal cultivators, if they want to become a martial artist, they must boil their bodies and go through the forging stage.

Anyone who learns martial arts knows that there are nine stages of forging the body, and only by completing the first forging can you achieve the path of martial arts and practice true qi. It's like a metamorphosis.

The road of the nine forgings is also the path of the warrior, the path of the warrior is only the most ordinary journey on the martial arts, and it is also the foundation of the martial arts. However, life is long and trivial matters, if it is not a rich and noble family, how many people can concentrate on martial arts? After all, martial artists are also human beings, and they also need to fill their stomachs.

Li Botao was born in poverty, and was fortunate to learn martial arts when he was young, but due to the compulsion of life, he soon disappeared from the public and wasted the best opportunity to practice martial arts.

Practicing the nine stages of the body, all of the following five forgings are second-rate martial artists, until the five forgings can release their true qi, revealing the extraordinary means that belong to the first-class martial artists. As for the Sixth Forging, which is one step further, in addition to the stronger True Qi, there are also extremely high requirements for the control of True Qi.

Li Botao wasted his best years, and being able to promote to the Six Forging Martial Arts was already a great opportunity. Like this kind of martial artist, he should be arrogant and dedicated to martial arts, and he disdains to do trivial things to pass on martial arts, but he has no choice. His cultivation has regressed, and now it is a foregone conclusion, if there is no natural treasure in this life, I am afraid that there is no possibility of improvement. But how can heaven and earth be something that can be easily obtained?

Li Botao, who has no hope of improving all his life, has long lost his ambition under the heavy blow of this year, and now he just wants to spend his old age in peace, find a successor, and pass on the exquisite sword moves he got by chance when he was young.

Mengjia Village was his first stop, and he didn't have much hope for this most remote village of the Yishui Dynasty, never thinking that he would find a good seedling here.

Looking at Meng Xi, who was a head taller than his peers in front of him, Li Botao's eyes bloomed with excitement, and a pair of rough big hands groped up and down on Meng Xi's body, as if he was so excited that he didn't know where to put it.

"Okay, good, good martial bones, your qualifications, if you don't learn swords with me, it's a pity. Li Botao pulled the young man he had just met, and said enthusiastically: "Child, are you willing to learn martial arts with me?"

"I, can I?" Meng Xi, who had never thought that such a change would happen, stretched out his hand to himself, unable to believe it.

Although this was his expectation, when it was realized, he was a little difficult to accept.

Maybe this opportunity came too suddenly, too easily......

"Yes, that's great!" Li Botao laughed, patted Meng Xi's shoulders, and said categorically: "From now on, you will be my Li Botao's disciple, if you don't like anyone, just tell the teacher, and the teacher will help you settle it." ”

Li Botao's words can not be described as domineering, as the number one master in the water town, he is indeed qualified to say such things.

Li Botao is not an arrogant person, he speaks and acts in a measured manner, the reason why he has such short-term remarks is really because his new apprentice is too important, such an amazing talent, almost rare in the world, and he will become famous in the future, and he, as a master, will naturally be able to follow the glory of his ancestors.

A baby apprentice, a domineering master, I can't say who is more advantageous, the two are all immersed in their own visions, and the surrounding teenagers look at Meng Xi, all showing envious eyes.

Meng Li, who had just arrived at the martial arts field, happened to see the scene that had just happened, and like his peers around him, he was also very envious.

Meng Li's appearance attracted the attention of the people in the audience, and Meng Hou, who was the first to see Meng Li, breathed a sigh of relief. Forced by the presence of the martial artist, he could not act without authorization, so he could only signal with his eyes and let Meng Wei'an be safe.

Meng Li saw Meng Hou, smiled back, and then walked to Li Botao, the only stranger in the martial arts, as a junior, as an ordinary young man, Meng Li should be the first to pay tribute to a first-class martial artist who has been cultivated by six forgings.

"Student Meng Li, meet the martial artist. ”

Looking at this embarrassed young man who suddenly appeared, Li Botao frowned slightly, but thinking that there was no class, even if he didn't like this late child, he still nodded and said "um" lightly.

"Let's go back!" Li Botao happened to be a good disciple today, and he was in a good mood, stretching out a hand and pointing to the teenagers who were standing in a straight line not far away.

Spread the martial day, and the matter of spreading the martial arts is today. In the next year, Li Botao will stay in Mengjia Village to teach the children to practice martial arts, but the most important thing is the method of tuna to be practiced on the first day of martial arts.

Only by knowing how to breathe in can we strengthen our body and forge ourselves, and this is the key to opening the door of martial artists.

"I can finally learn martial arts!" Meng Li forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and he was about to return to the team, and on the other side, Meng Hou had already made way for Meng Li. But before Meng Li could walk over, Meng Xi walked over first.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Botao looked at his precious apprentice, puzzled, and asked, "Good apprentice, what's wrong?"

Meng Xi bowed respectfully to Li Botao and asked, "The master came to my Mengjia Village to teach my disciples in Mengjia Village, if they are not from Mengjia Village, can they study together." ”

Li Botao said: "I Southern Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and even more established martial arts in state affairs, which should be taught without class, and everyone can practice martial arts, but the state officials have strict laws, whether to pass on martial arts, how to pass on martial arts, there are laws." On this day, I received the regulations of Mengjia Village, and people from other villages naturally couldn't learn it. ”

"That's right. Getting the answer he wanted, Meng Xi had a satisfied smile on his face.

Meng Hou, who knew his brother the most, felt faintly uneasy in his heart after seeing Meng Xi's expression, he came to Meng Xi's side and asked in a low voice: "Meng Xi, what are you doing? Didn't you tell me that you wouldn't embarrass Meng Li?"

Meng Xi looked directly at Meng Li and sneered: "I didn't embarrass him, but on a case-by-case basis, Meng Li, I asked you, can you admit that you are from Mengjia Village." ”

Meng Li said without hesitation: "I have lived in Mengjia Village for twelve years, so I am naturally from Mengjia Village. ”

"Since you are from Mengjia Village, why don't you enter the ancestral temple of the Meng family? Why are you disrespectful to your ancestors?" Meng Xi broke off, and a pair of round eyes glared at Meng Li fiercely.

Hearing the other party's question, Meng Li secretly sighed. After his father was "buried" at the bottom of the river, Mengjia Village thanked him for his contribution and allowed him, a person from another village, to enter the ancestral temple of the Meng family and enjoy the incense of the Meng family, but his mother insisted on the fact that his father was not dead, and he was not allowed to worship in the past few years.

This is a misunderstanding, but it is not yet explained. It seems to be a special relationship between his father's identity, and his mother once said that this was the best result, and repeatedly told him not to let him say it.

Meng Li frowned and said: "Whether you can enter the ancestral temple of the Meng family or not, whether you worship the tablet of the ancestors or not, that's my own business, what does it have to do with you?"

"As the son of Mengjia Village, I Meng Xi has the obligation to maintain the honor of Mengjia Village, Meng Li you do not enter the ancestral temple, do not worship the ancestors, it is disrespectful to Mengjia Village, so disrespectful, how can you be a person from Mengjia Village? Today, I will not force you to enter the ancestral temple, you only need to kowtow to Uncle Meng's tablet, and I will recognize your identity as a villager of the Meng family. ”

Meng Xi's tone was sonorous and powerful, and after speaking, he reached into his arms and took out a tablet, which was written "Meng is difficult to return", which was the tablet of Meng Li's father.

Seeing Meng Nangui's tablet, everyone was stunned on the spot, and their eyes looked at Meng Xi, all showing disbelief.

What did he do today, but he was prepared for a long time?

Someone in the crowd made a noise.

"Meng Li, you just kowtow, anyway, it's your own father, you won't lose one. ”

A few of his peers who are at odds with Meng on weekdays are already laughing. Meng Xi held the tablet in one hand, pointed at Meng Li with the other, and said proudly: "Meng Li, today, you have to knock, you have to knock, you have to knock if you don't." ”

Meng Li stared at the tablet in Meng Xi's hand, his face was pale, he never thought that the other party's obsession would be so deep, even on such an important day as Chuanwu Day, he would have no scruples.

On weekdays, Meng Xi fights and makes trouble again, and Meng Li will not care about him, just because it is a nonsense between children, and it is insignificant, but in today's situation, the other party's actions are tantamount to tearing the dough, and there is no room for maneuver.

"Or you can knock one!" Meng Hou was also persuading Meng Li, in his opinion, the opportunity to learn martial arts was more important than dignity.

Meng Li looked at Meng Hou and showed a wry smile, he never expected that even his most trusted brother would let him compromise.

Meng Li is now like being forced to a cliff, he can knock his head, but he shouldn't do it in such a tough way, once he kowtows today, he won't want to raise his head again in this life.

Besides, after learning about the abnormality of his bloodline, he was even more sure that his father was still alive, how could he curse his father?

"This head, I don't knock!"

These six words, Meng Li almost said them through gritted teeth.

Meng Xi's eyes flashed coldly, and he said angrily: "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being unkind." After saying that, he suddenly turned to face his newly recognized cheap master, and pleaded: "Please also ask the master to call the shots and expel Meng Li from the martial arts." ”

Although Li Botao didn't know the past between the two children, he was now ready to fly, and immediately decided: "Don't worry, the teacher will definitely make decisions for you." ”

His own precious apprentice still has to hurt himself.

Li Botao glared at Meng Li, his eyes were like a pair of daggers, blooming with a cold cold light.

"The blood is weak, the nature is cold, not to mention that you are a waste with very poor talent, you will never be able to complete the foundation building, even if you are lucky enough to learn martial arts, in the end it will be a disaster, today I, Li Botao, will expel you from the Mengcun martial arts field, lest you harm others in the future." ”

In the other party's gaze, there seemed to be true qi pressure, Meng Li couldn't bear it, and when he heard such a heart-wrenching remark at this time, his legs suddenly weakened, and he fell to the ground in despair.

The blood is weak, the nature is cold, and he is not worthy of learning martial arts? Meng Li looked at the other party, and a look of resentment appeared on his face.

This Li Baitao is really too vicious, and with this person's status in the town of Lean, making such a inferior evaluation of him is equivalent to completely banning his martial arts path, even if he does not use the martial arts day, he will never want to learn martial arts from other martial artists who are qualified to pass on martial arts.

Breaking people in martial arts is like killing parents, Li Botao is using a soft knife at this time, and there is no blood when he kills!
