As soon as Zhang Yifan came to the backyard and approached the kitchen, he heard Zhang Songpu's hearty laughter, probably because he was happy to talk to Chen.

Hearing the familiar laughter, Zhang Yifan's heart was hot, he grabbed the threshold, and shouted enthusiastically into the house before he entered the door: "Uncle Zhang, I'm back! Are you okay for the past six months?

"You little slippery head, you won't come back to see me and your aunt for half a year, now you think about it, I think you miss the food your aunt cooks. A man with a slightly majestic face and a wisp of a goatee turned around and said to Zhang Yifan with a smile on his face, it was Zhang Songpu.

"Uncle, you're really wrong about the boy. In order to be able to turn positive in the yamen as soon as possible, give you and your aunt a long face, and add glory to the villagers, I can work hard in the yamen. I'm going to become a junior catcher this year, and I'll become a god of Chu in the near future, so I'll trouble you to help record the life and deeds of the kid, and write a biography of the god hunt or something, wouldn't it be beautiful. ”

"Look at you, a poor mouth, you have to be honest in the public house, listen to the county order and catch the head, guard against arrogance and rashness, and be down-to-earth is serious. Zhang Songpu smiled and admonished, and the woman on the side watched the pair of uncles and nephews talk with a smile, and they didn't speak, and the work in their hands never stopped.

"What the uncle said is that the kid has been taught!" Zhang Yifan nodded and said with a straight face

"Let's all come to eat, Xiaofan will eat some more. Chen beckoned the two to sit down and eat.

The three of them were eating around a square table, chatting happily. Zhang Yifan hadn't felt such a warm moment for a long time, and he didn't realize that the amount of food had increased greatly, and he ate two big bowls.

At the end of dinner, Zhang Songpu pondered for a while, and then said to Zhang Yifan: "Xiaofan, how long have you been back to stay this time, is there anything going on in the yamen?"

"Uncle, I'll leave tomorrow, a strange thing happened at Xiandukou, the cattle of the two villagers in the nearby village disappeared mysteriously. I heard Uncle Chen from the county government say that it seems that a cow has been swallowed into the river, and I plan to go and see it myself tomorrow morning. ”

"You don't want to go into the water to check it yourself, do you? Xiaofan, although you have good water quality, the undercurrent in the water is not trivial, you must pay attention. The buffalo has been sucked in, not to mention people, don't act privately, let's wait for the yamen to come and investigate together. Zhang Songpu told Zhang Yifan with a worried face.

"Xiaofan, pay attention to safety, listen to your uncle, don't mess around. We have no children under our knees, and we have always treated you as our own son, if you have something, how can we explain to your parents. The woman on the side said with the same concern.

"Got it, uncle, auntie, I'll take a look at the periphery, I won't go into the water. Zhang Yifan's heart warmed, and he hurriedly assured the two.

After eating, the woman cleaned up the table, and Zhang's surname Songpu said to Zhang Yifan, "Xiaofan, you come to the West Wing in a while, I have something to tell you." ”

"Well, okay, you go first, I'll help the eldest lady clean up first, and I'll be there right away. ”

After cleaning up the kitchen and greeting the woman, Zhang Yifan walked to the west wing of the backyard.

Knock on the door and enter the house, the whole west wing is simply furnished but very clean. Zhang Songpu is not in the living room, it is estimated that he is in the back room. He shouted in the living room, "Uncle, I'm here." ”

"Well, you wait a minute, I'll come out right away. Zhang Yifan heard the slightly panting voice in the back room and replied.

Zhang Yifan felt a little strange in his heart, but he held back his doubts and sat down and waited for Zhang Songpu to come over.

After about a cup of tea, Zhang Yifan saw Zhang Songpu coming out of the back room, holding a simple and long wooden box with shoulder-length hands, walking tremblingly and tremblingly, looking very difficult.

Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the box, his hands suddenly felt sinking, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "What's in this box so heavy?"

Then he hurriedly took the box in one hand, and helped Zhang Songpu sit down with the other.

"Uncle, what's in this box, it feels very heavy, at least seventy pounds. Zhang Yifan asked suspiciously.

"Well, you young people still have strength, I'm old. Zhang Songpu was a little out of breath, slowed down, and then sighed.

"Uncle, tell me quickly, what is this?"

"Hehe, Xiao Fan, don't worry, you open the wooden box first to see what it is. Zhang Songpu said to Zhang Yifan a little mysteriously.

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately couldn't wait to open the wooden box, only to see that there was a piece of yellow brocade wrapped in a long strip in the wooden box. He opened the yellow brocade and revealed the contents of it, and found that it was an old mace.

This look is very quaint, and the appearance is a little old, I think it is some years old. It is about four feet three inches long, like jade not jade, like gold not gold, divided into nine sections, and the handle and body seem to be engraved with pale gold runes. As he stared at the old gong, he felt that there was occasionally a flash of yellow light in his eyes, which was very magical.

This is the same as the two wooden maces placed in the east wing of the front yard, but the weight is much heavier.

"Uncle, this is a heavy mace, it looks a little old, it looks the same as the two wooden maces in our family's martial arts room, where did you get it?"

"Well, that's a long way to say. You've grown up, and it's time for you to know, and I'll tell you about it slowly. Zhang Songpu sighed and finally decided to tell Zhang Yifan.

"Anyway, your father gave me the things in this, and said that you can decide how to dispose of this thing after the path you want to take is decided..."Zhang Songpu began to explain the cause and effect of this thing to Zhang Yifan.

It turned out that Zhang's father had a secret conversation with Zhang Songpu before leaving, and Zhang's father felt that the future of the trip was uncertain, and he was afraid that if he couldn't come back, he handed over the ancestral heirloom of the Zhang family to Zhang Songpu for safekeeping.

Zhang's father explained that if he couldn't come back for five years, if Zhang Yifan grew up, he would collect this thing and cheats from the text, and wait for Zhang's mother to be buried with him after a hundred years, so as not to cause trouble. If Zhang Yifan is a martial artist, he needs to wait for him to have a certain foundation before handing it over to him to inherit the Zhang family's ancestral relics and learning.

Because Zhang Songpu was a scholar and didn't know martial arts, he saw that Zhang Yifan was a junior catcher of the county government, and he thought that he should have a certain foundation, so he simply took out this thing today along with the cheats and prepared to hand it over to Zhang Yifan.

After telling Zhang Yifan about the cause and effect of this matter, Zhang Songpu took out a slightly old cheatbook from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yifan.

Zhang Yifan held the heavy gong in one hand and the secret book in the other, his face was a little sad, and he said to Zhang Songpu: "Uncle, thank you for keeping the ancestral remarks and cheats of the Zhang family, and hand them over to the kid today, the kid must live up to his father's expectations and teachings, practice martial arts well, and carry forward the Zhang family's method." ”

"Xiaofan has ambition and fatherly demeanor, I don't know martial arts, the fights and killings on the rivers and lakes are quite dangerous, uncle hopes that you can pay attention to safety, be kind to others, and live well. ”

"Okay, uncle, I will. ”

After catching up with Zhang Songpu for a while, Zhang Yifan said goodbye and went out.

On the way, he thought for a while, and did not go back to the east wing room to rest, but walked towards the front yard martial arts room, he wanted to see the heavy gong and cheats first.

Push open the door of the martial arts room, light the large candles in the four corners of the room, and the room suddenly brightens up as day.

Zhang Yifan put down the heavy gong first, took out the cheats in his arms and began to look at it.

The name of the cheats is written by the ancient small seal, called "Xinghuo Jue", and the first page of the opening chapter is written with eight big characters of "the fire of the stars, burning the plain and boiling the mountain".

Later, the previous introduction reads, "This method is divided into "Star Word Formula", "Royal Word Formula" and "Fire Word Formula", the star is the attack, the royal is the defense, and the fire is the potential. There are three taboos in cultivating this secret, those with small strength cannot practice, those with internal strength cannot practice, and those with unrighteous hearts cannot practice. Within three years, Xiao Chengxing and Yu Liangjue, and cultivating the internal power of the Starfire, you can cultivate the "Fire Word Formula". Remember to use too much force, too much, and there is a danger of going mad. This recipe is the best to practice with the Demon Suppression, followed by the heavy heavy materials of cold iron and fine iron. In the practice of this skill, we should uphold justice, punish adultery and eliminate evil, and should not bully the weak and kill innocents indiscriminately. The descendants of the Zhang family, remember, remember. ”

At the end of the article, Zhang Chengfeng was written, and he thought it should be an ancestor of Zhang Yifan.

In about an hour, Zhang Yifan finished reading the entire cheats. Stretching, he couldn't help but ponder.

Looking at the whole cheats, there are a lot of requirements, first of all, you need to be born with great strength to control the heavy blow, you need at least 100 catties of strength with one hand, and secondly, you can't cultivate internal force, otherwise you can't cultivate the Xinghuo Jue's exclusive Xinghuo internal force, and you will lose all your martial arts at light, and you will go crazy and die. Finally, and the most strange thing is that if you want to cultivate the Spark Technique, you must have a righteous heart, otherwise it is very easy to fall into a state of madness and harm others and yourself.

As for how to know whether you have righteousness in your heart, there is no specific statement about the ambiguity in the book. Zhang Yifan speculated that it was related to the Fu Mo Gong, because the ancestors of the previous dynasties were the heads of the family who held the Fu Mo Gong, and the side branches rarely said that there was a Fu Mo Dacheng.

Because the Zhang family declined very early, Zhang's father rarely mentioned the past of the Zhang family, so Zhang Yifan knew very little, so he had to put aside his doubts and began to study the martial arts in the cheats.

It is mentioned in the cheats that as long as the Xingzi Jue and the Royal Character Jue reach a small achievement, you can try to cultivate the internal force of the Xinghuo, Zhang Yifan has been practicing the Xingzi Jue and the Yuzi Jue Xiaocheng for more than a year, and there is no inch of progress since then, and there is no internal force generation in the body.

Through this cheat, he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, the internal power of the spark was not so easy to cultivate, and in the past, it was relatively rare for the people of the Zhang family to cultivate the internal power of the spark.

Fortunately, the cheats told how to practice the Xingzi Recipe and the Imperial Character Recipe to Dacheng, and at the same time recorded a few stunts for learning, as for the stunts and the three major tricks of the Spark Recipe that came with the Fire Character Recipe mentioned in the book, they were far away from him, and he decided to put them aside for the time being, and then study them after cultivating the internal power of the Xinghuo.

After studying the cheats, Zhang Yifan set his eyes on the heavy sword and examined it carefully.

Through the cheats, he knew that this mace is called Fu Demon Gong, the material is unknown, the mace weighs seventy-three pounds, the overall length is about four feet three inches, the head of the mace is about one inch wide, and the tail is three inches wide, it is a square nine sections, and the style is very powerful.

It takes a hundred catties of strength in one arm to barely use it, and two hundred catties of strength in a single arm if you want to move such as an arm.

There is no edge in the heavy work, and the big ingenuity is not worked. This method focuses on smashing, splitting, sweeping, picking, blocking and other simple but skillful moves, so if you want to achieve the first two tricks, you must practice according to the method in the cheats, and you need to forge your body to improve your strength.

The surface of the demon is smooth, like jade but not jade, like gold and not gold, and the whole body is engraved with strange golden runes on all sides and the handle, and the style is very simple. This made Zhang Yifan overjoyed, and he suddenly couldn't put it down. He decided to cultivate hard and never let this good thing be buried in his hands.

At this moment, it was late at night, Zhang Yifan cleaned up his mood and prepared to go back to his room to sleep. He put the cheats in his arms, tied the heavy gong with a rope and put it behind his back, thinking about changing Ming'er to find the old blacksmith in the village to make a suitable wedge set on his body, one is used to cover the heavy wedge, after all, the shape of this thing is too exaggerated, and the other is to carry heavy objects on his back for forging.

After packing his things, he pondered going to Xiandu Port tomorrow to see the situation, and then went back to the yamen to find Uncle Chen and they would meet, and then went to sleep.
