Go back in time!

Not long after Meng Li left the Ming Mansion, Ming Xuan came to the backyard.

In the backyard of the Ming Mansion, there is a special iron cage, and a gray-feathered falcon is held in the iron cage.

The falcon's eyes are sharp and bright.

The Southern Tang Dynasty Heavy Eagle, its national beast is the famous Purple Feather Stone Eagle.

The one in front of Ming Xuan is also a stone eagle, but it is not a purple feather with a noble bloodline, but a gray feather.

"Old man, it's your turn. ”

The Grey Feather Eagle seemed to understand his words and jumped back and forth in the iron cage.

Ming Xuan smiled slightly, released the gray feather eagle, and tied the letter he had just written to the latter.

"Go ahead, bring back the news of Senior Brother Li!"

Xizhou City, entrenched in the northwest region of Xizhou, covers a vast area and covers thousands of miles.

Twenty miles east of Xizhou City, there is a mountain called Baijian Mountain, and there is a sect on the mountain called Baijian Cave.

Baijian Cave, although there is a hole in the name, is not a sect opened up in the cave, but built around the mountain, and the weather is thousands.

There are many palaces in the sect, there are the main hall of the sect, the pavilion of the scriptures, the lecture hall, the sword test hole, the sword forging room......

At this time, in the lecture hall, there was a group of white sword disciples dressed in white talking about the scriptures.

On the podium, there was a white-haired elder, looking at the lively scene in the hall, showing a satisfied expression.

The white-haired elder nodded, and was about to withdraw his gaze when he was suddenly attracted by a silent figure in the corner.

Knock!

The elder tapped twice on the lectern, and the disciples immediately sat upright, not smiling.

There was instant silence in the lecture hall.

The white-haired old man slowly walked down from the stage with his hands behind his back and came to the silent figure.

"Li Qifeng, everyone was discussing just now, why are you the only one who is silent?"

Li Qifeng, who was dressed in a white disciple's uniform, stood up and said respectfully: "Second Elder Hui, the disciple has just thought about it in his heart. ”

"Oh!"

The second elder's thick eyebrows with gray eyebrows were lightly raised, and he said with great interest: "What are you thinking about?"

Li Qifeng said: "The disciple is thinking about the fifth chapter of the Lightless Sword Codex. ”

The disciples exclaimed in surprise when they heard this, and looked at Li Qifeng with surprise in their eyes.

The second elder smiled and said, "The other disciples are all discussing the fourth chapter, but you are thinking about the fifth chapter?"

Li Qifeng nodded. "The disciple has already understood the fourth chapter, and the fifth chapter has also been gained. ”

The second elder straightened his chest, looked directly at Li Qifeng, and said slowly: "What have you realized in the fifth chapter?"

Li Qifeng said eight words.

"The sword is steady, and it swallows it with the sword. ”

"The sword is steady, swallow the light with the sword, ......" The second elder secretly attached eight words in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Not bad, not bad. ”

He nodded, and said with relief: "It is worthy of being a closed disciple accepted by the third child unusually, and in just a few months, he has already understood the fifth layer of the Dullless Sword Codex, and over time, he may not be able to achieve the position of the sword." ”

Hearing the words of the second elder, all the disciples suddenly burst into an uproar, and for a while, they exchanged heads and whispered.

You must know that the Lightless Sword Code is divided into ten articles, and the first four articles are limited, and only from the fifth chapter onwards will the power of the Lightless Sword Code be truly reflected.

Therefore, from the fifth chapter onwards, the difficulty of comprehending the Lightless Sword Code will also be greatly increased.

Li Qifeng has only been getting started for a few months, and he can cultivate the Lightless Sword Code to the fifth chapter in a short period of time, and this kind of cultivation speed is not much better than the previous swords.

Seeing that Li Qifeng was neither humble nor arrogant, the second elder was even more satisfied, and pressed his hand with a smile.

"Recently, there have been demons in Xizhou City, and many people in the city have been killed. After a while, you will go to the sword cave to get a good sword, and go down the mountain with them to practice. ”

White Sword Cave likes to call evil gangsters demons. The door will also cooperate with the local government and issue the task of eliminating demons to the disciples.

"Disciple obeys!"

Cultivation was a very boring thing, but Meng Li had long been used to it.

It's just that the martial artists below the Naqi realm are in retreat, and they don't have the ability to sit on the death level, and they will still be hungry after a long time.

Meng Li, who had been in retreat for a day, pushed open the door of the secret room alone in the middle of the night.

The courtyard was empty, except for a few night bugs floating in mid-air.

Knowing the fact that everyone was asleep, Meng Li smiled helplessly, and then quietly came to the kitchen.

The kitchen was pitch black.

Only the white moonlight shines on the windowsill.

On the cooking stove, there is a plate of leftovers, in addition to two fist-sized white flour steamed buns.

Ignoring the fact that the food was cold, the young man, who had been hungry for a day, poured a glass of water for himself and began to gobble it up.

Swallowing the dinner simply and rudely, Meng Li took a sip of the hot water that was not completely cold, warmed his stomach, and returned to his room.

Before falling asleep, I couldn't help but sigh: "What a tired day!"

In this way, he practiced for three days in a row. On the night of the third day, Meng Li finally succeeded in breaking through to the Six Forgings.

After several months, from the water town to the boundary water city, in the five forging of the body refining, Meng Li experienced the biggest change in his life and began to grow independently and grow.

And now he's finally taken another step.

The wind at night was slightly cool, just like three days ago, Meng Li was still standing alone in the courtyard, but today, he had a different understanding.

What a blessing it would be if the days to come could be like the present.

Just do what you love every day, don't worry about anything, don't care about anything, carefree, no worries.

But unfortunately, life is always full of problems, and the value of his existence seems to be to constantly solve problems.

I just went back to the house and slept for a while, and the problem really came.

In the fourteenth year of Chongwu, May 20.

The weather is fine!

The early morning sun spilled into the courtyard, the birds chirped in the sky, and Meng Li, who had just finished practicing the knife, had not yet washed off the hot sweat on his body, and the martial arts hall ushered in an uninvited guest.

On the side of the unified army, the iron face is ruthless.

The person who came was none other than the captain of Jieshui City, Xue Bawu.

Today's Xue Bawu has changed from his previous armor and is wearing a very ordinary black robe.

The desolate old man is arrogant.

Xue Bawu, who is in his sixties, has gray sideburns, set off by a black robe, and the majesty revealed by his gestures can't help but be a little thicker.

Hearing the news of Xue Bawu's sudden visit, Meng Li secretly smiled bitterly, and had to do his best to receive this domineering old man known as an iron face.

"Meet Commander Xue!"

"Do you know why I'm seeing you today?"

The old man is usually used to being domineering, and after seeing Meng Li, he didn't say hello, and went straight to the point and asked a question that he didn't expect.

Why? I should ask that, right?

Meng Li's eyes widened and he looked at Xue Bawu pitifully.

"The Commander has something to do with me?"

Xue Bawu clapped his hands expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Brother Guo, come in!"

Two people came in outside the door, one old and one young.

The old one is not too old, he is middle-aged, in his early forties, and the young one is not too little, looking at his appearance, he is also fourteen or fifteen years old.

At this time, Meng Li realized that it was not only Xue Bawu who came to the door this time.

Meng Li suddenly remembered what Wang Ergou had told him before, looked at the two who were obviously father and son, and secretly asked in his heart: These two people are the father and son who came here from Xizhou City?

I saw Xue Bawu pointing at the two of them, and said lightly: "You guys get to know each other!"

Is this happily decided?

Meng Li looked at Xue Bawu blankly, revealing an incredulous expression.

This kind of attitude, even if it is Lao Tzu to his son, is nothing more than that!

Thinking of the Xue family's tense father-son relationship, Meng Li seemed to understand something.

"Since the two of you are friends with Commander Xue, they are the distinguished guests of the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall, let's invite you. ”

Passing the old man who likes to act arbitrarily, Meng Li came to the Guo family's father and son, clasped his fists with both hands, and was polite.

"Lord Meng is polite. The middle-aged man replied with a salute and introduced himself: "In Xia Guo Fuyuan, this is the dog Guo Cong, when our father and son followed the tribute team through Jieshui City, they suddenly heard that you solved the Kaolan bandit by yourself, and admired it in my heart, so I took the liberty to disturb." ”

"Mr. Guo has an overreputation!"

Meng Li smiled slightly, but there was no excessive expression on his face.

This performance made Guo Fuyuan even more admired.

You must know that the Kaolan bandit is related to the safety of Xizhou, and getting rid of this tumor is not a small credit. Under this glory, he can still not be arrogant or rash, and the mentality of young people is enough to explain the problem.

"Okay, what's the matter, let's talk inside!"

Then, Meng Li took the three of them to the living room and ordered the Luo sisters to prepare hot tea.

Looking at the empty wall, Meng Li suddenly felt a little lucky, fortunately, the portrait was received early, if he was seen by Xue Bawu, with the character of this domineering old man, he would not have to eat him.

The tea was quickly served, Meng Li stretched out a hand, signaling everyone to take care of themselves, and at the same time looked at Guo Fuyuan and said, "Does Mr. Guo plan to stay in Jieshui City this time, or does he have other plans?"

Guo Fuyuan said: "Our Guo family is doing iron sound in Xizhou City, and this time we also have plans to expand our business in Jieshui City, and we should live for a long time." ”

Xue Bawu added: "The Guo family's iron ware is famous in Xizhou, and it is no worse than the Yuan family in all aspects. ”

Is this to rob the Yuan family's business?

The three famous shops in Jieshui City, Yuan's Iron Shop, Bai Canteen, and Treasure Hunting Pavilion.

The Yuan family has made a living from the iron business for generations, and the Yuan family's iron shop is their largest industry, especially the treasure business, which is an important means for them to amass wealth.

If the Yuan family's ironware business is affected, the Yuan family's status in Jieshui City will be greatly reduced.

What a good thing!

Meng Li thought about it for a while, and felt that Guo Fuyuan's appearance was very beneficial to him, and said warmly: "Welcome, Mr. Guo has opened a store in Jieshui City, and our Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall is willing to be your first customer." ”

Guo Fuyuan laughed and said, "With the support of Pavilion Master Meng, Guo is more confident." When I visited this time, I actually had one more thing to ask for. ”

"Mr. Guo doesn't have to be polite, just say it!" Meng Li sat upright, looked at Xue Bawu with an expressionless face, and secretly said that he was finally here.

When they entered the door together, Meng Li realized that things would not be so simple.

Guo Fuyuan said in a deep voice: "It's not a secret, after hearing the deeds of the Meng Pavilion Master, the dog was extremely worshipful and wanted to join the Guiwu Pavilion and learn from the Meng Pavilion Master." ”

Meng Li turned his head to look at Guo Cong, and at the same time, the other party was also looking at him.

"Hey, hey!" the thick-eyed boy smirked.

This kid has a bit of a problem with his brain!

Meng Li looked at Xue Bawu and asked, "What do you think, senior?"

Xue Bawu snorted coldly: "You decide your own martial arts hall, you don't need to ask me." ”

Meng Li rolled his eyes.

What he can be sure of is that if he dares to refuse, the first person to shoot him to death will definitely be this old man who lets him watch it himself.
