The rivers and lakes have been mixed for a long time, and they have seen a lot of people's warmth and coldness, and their hearts have been thinned, and if they don't give them these people who serve tea and water, their faces are already good, don't say that they are so polite.

"I see!" Meng Li scratched his head with a smirk and glanced at the master sitting opposite, with a hint of solicitation in his eyes.

Yan Xingguan ate peanuts to himself, pretending not to see them. I am not afraid of making mistakes, but I am afraid that I don't even have the opportunity to make mistakes, and some things are meaningful when I experience them myself.

The young man saw Meng Li's difficulty and said with a smile: "What questions does the guest officer want to ask the little one?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Meng Li, who was poked in the center by this word, nodded hurriedly, habitually leaned over, and asked in a low voice: "I saw that there are a lot of people in your store, so I thought about asking if there was something big going on in your store." ”

The guy couldn't help but laugh and said: "Guest officer, you are joking, our store is a serious business, in addition to entertaining customers every day, it is to serve customers, where can anything big happen." ”

Meng Li thought about it, and felt that what this guy said really made some sense, if something always happened to open an inn, then what should this business do? Thinking of the masters of the rivers and lakes who fought in inns and taverns at every turn in the novel, Meng Li suddenly felt ridiculous.

"Then why are these people gathered here?" The words had already begun, and Meng Li simply broke the casserole and asked to the end.

When the guy was asked by him, he seemed to really think of something, patted his head, and suddenly said, "I said that there are so many guests today, it turns out that it is for this." ”

Meng Li looked at him with burning eyes, waiting for the following.

The guy said: "Guest officer, you don't know, there is a big family surnamed Li in our town, who started from the grain and oil business, a few days ago, Li Yuanwai's youngest son went to learn martial arts by relying on the Water Martial Arts Hall, but he didn't expect to be a little genius, and he completed the foundation in just five days and became a real martial artist. When Li Yuanwai learned about this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed to Jieshui City to spend a lot of money to buy two exquisite swordsmanship. After the young son of the Li family learned swordsmanship, he thought that he was invincible in one forging, and now he is setting up a ring on the street behind!"

"A martial artist still has to set up a ring? Can you be so arrogant in five days of building a foundation?" Meng Li, who heard the guy's explanation, was suddenly stunned, as a "genius" who successfully forged his body after practicing the exercises, Meng Li really didn't have any feelings about the concept of forging his body in five days. However, to others, this is inevitably a bit ignorant.

The guy with a smile on his face was just about to tell this "young man" who must not have built a foundation about the meaning of the five-day forging. I heard frequent shouts from the tables next to me.

The smile on the guy's face suddenly turned into a wry smile, confessed to Meng Li and the others, and hurriedly trotted over, lest he snub this group of uncles whose temper is greater than their skills.

Meng Li glanced at the guy who was walking through the hall, and after retracting his gaze, he turned to Yan Xingguan and asked, "Master, what does this five-day forging body mean, is it really a great feat?"

Heaven is pitiful, Meng Li's words did not mean the slightest ridicule, but even in the ears of Yan Xingguan, who had been forging his body one day, it was still a little harsh.

A forging body, really can't be provoked!

Yan Xingguan, who rolled his eyes while Meng Li was not paying attention, pouted and said: "Building a foundation is the most common criterion for judging martial arts talent, nine out of nine martial artists, it is already good to be able to complete the foundation building within a month, and those who build the foundation in five days, if they encounter some opportunities, may not be able to achieve acceptance." At that time, it can be regarded as a real entry into the circle of rivers and lakes. ”

The lakes are deep and shallow, and the rivers and lakes are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the so-called rivers and lakes leave their names, and those who stay are the names of those real masters, in their eyes, the martial artists of the body refining realm are just some fish and shrimp cannon fodder, and they don't even have the qualifications to enter the eyes.

The road to martial arts is still very long!

Meng Li, who didn't know what kind of difficult road he would have to walk out of in the future, was extremely calm in his heart, and said with a smile: "If you can be angry, wouldn't it be to be in the same realm as the master, no wonder you dare to do such a crazy act, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must have a good relationship with this Li family genius." ”

It's always good to have one more friend, not to mention a friend on the road to martial arts.

Yan Xingguan glanced at this naïve apprentice and sneered, "Do you know how old it is?"

Meng Li shook his face and said: "It's been a long time, it's not necessarily good, I've heard this allusion." ”

Yan Xingguan said: "When you are young, you have high talent, but when you grow up, you may not have achievements, a martial artist, if you don't work hard enough, no matter how good your talent is, it is useless, you need to keep this in mind." ”

These words are not only about the genius of the Li family, but also about Meng Li.

Meng Li, who knew his master's intentions, nodded and said heavily, "I know." ”

After they were full of wine and food, the master and apprentice walked out of the inn, looking at Meng Li, who was full of people and didn't know where to go, he suddenly asked the master for help: "Master, where should we go next?

Yan Xingguan waved his hand and said: "Go directly to the yamen to ask for someone, that is the next policy, the best way is to let the government release the person by hand." ”

"Let the government release people with their own hands?" Meng Li's eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that Master, can you talk to the government?" As a martial artist, there will be many privileges that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and the master is so powerful that it is impossible to know if you hear it from the heavens.

Yan Xingguan looked at Meng Li like an idiot, and said speechlessly: "What do you want? No matter how powerful the martial artist is, the prisoners of the official government can't be released if they want to." ”

Meng Li said with a sad face: "Then what can I do!"

Yan Xingguan said: "Don't worry about saving your old Uncle Meng, he is just a suspect now, he won't be convicted if he can't find evidence, at most he will suffer a little, but his life is worry-free." ”

Meng Li heard what Yan Xingguan meant and asked, "What should we do now?"

Yan Xingguan walked forward along the flow of people, and said unhurriedly as he walked: "It's rare to come to the water town once, you always have to take a turn, and by the way, I will take you to see for a long time." ”

Meng Li also walked and said: "But ......" Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Yan Xingguan, who was leading the way in front, stretched out his hand.

"In the future, when walking the rivers and lakes, remember to guard against arrogance and rashness, which is also the first lesson I want to teach you today. Take a turn with me first, and when your heart is stable, you are thinking about saving people. After speaking, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me, nothing will happen." ”

The two of them circled around the downtown of the town near the water, and by the time they walked to the inn, the sun was about to set.

Yan Xingguan turned his head to look at Meng Li, who was following behind him without saying a word, and asked, "Is your heart calm?"

Meng Li nodded, guarding against arrogance and rashness does not mean letting go of everything, but the master is right about one thing, with him, there will be no problem.

An hour later!

"Master, let's go around again!"

Yan Xingguan, who was holding a piece of black cloth and a cowhide mask in his hand, never thought that Meng Lihui would be so open, nodded and said with relief: "Where else do you want to go?"

"The young master of the Li family set up a ring in the back street, and the apprentice and he are both martial artists, and they are about the same age, after thinking about it, I feel that I can't miss it. ”

When eating at the inn during the day, Meng Li was already moved when he heard the guy talk about it, but at that time, he was eager to save people, and he didn't have time to think about it, but now that he calmed down, his heart itched somehow.

After all, it is a teenager's temperament, and he loves to watch the excitement, but this is fine, listen more and watch more, this is what a person in the rivers and lakes should look like. What are Jianghu people, to put it bluntly, they love to join in the fun. You can't even be lively, how can you let people remember your name, can't keep your name, and what kind of excitement do you have?

Yan Xingguan, who sighed slightly in his heart, shook his head and chuckled, and said, "It's okay to join in the fun, but you need to solve the trouble yourself?"

"What's the trouble with a lively scene?" Meng Li, who was not deeply involved in the world and didn't know what the sudden change in the situation was, showed an innocent look.

Yan Xingguan smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of metaphysics?"

Meng Li, who didn't know why the other party suddenly mentioned metaphysics, was stunned for a moment and said: "I have read the "Tongyi Quanjie" left by my father, and I know a little about metaphysics. ”

Yan Xingguan suddenly put on an unfathomable appearance, and said solemnly: "Xuanzhi and Xuan, called metaphysics, we classify many unexplained phenomena as mysteries, with the evolution of this phenomenon, there is the doctrine of metaphysics, some people say that all the metaphysical visions that cannot be explained by normal laws are because there is a wonderful connection between this continent and the human body, and the strange differences produced by this wonderful connection are the origin of those that are difficult to explain. Just like cultivating martial arts, there are many unexplained phenomena. ”

Listening to this seemingly nonsense remark, Meng Li smiled and said, "For example, ......"

Yan Xing glanced at him and said, "Just like your current situation, after the foundation is successfully built, the true qi will be infused into the body and the first forging of the body refining will be completed, but have you ever thought about why there is a forging body in the body refining realm?"

Meng Li seemed to smell a solemn breath, his expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Why?"

Yan Xingguan said: "Forging the body is the tempering of the body, this is a process of continuous evolution, when you complete the foundation building and become a martial artist, your body has begun to transform unconsciously, which also means that you will build a new connection with this world, and in the process of adaptation, many things that you couldn't think of before will follow, and I call these things troubles." You don't look for trouble, but trouble will come to you, and this is the first level you have to pass after becoming a martial artist. ”

Meng Li looked at Yan Xingguan dumbfounded, and said speechlessly: "Can you still do this?"

From his father's book "The Complete Explanation of Tongyi", he did see some statements about the strange relationship between man and heaven and earth, and his father called it a magnetic field. The magnetic field between man and heaven and earth should always be constant, and even if there is a change, it is an extremely weak change, and the impact is not great. According to his master, after becoming a martial artist, the body will undergo a transformation due to a forging body, and this change will build a new magnetic field with heaven and earth, and in this process, the chaotic magnetic field changes will cause the parties to encounter many crises.

It may sound ridiculous, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

"Master, why don't we go!" Meng Li, who was afraid of being inexplicably harmed by the fish in the pond, immediately confessed, turned his head and ran towards the inn.

Yan Xingguan grabbed Meng Li and said excitedly: "It's too late to run now, you didn't say that I didn't think of it before, it seems that this time is indeed a good opportunity to train you." ”

Meng Li, who had never seen his master so excited, suddenly realized a serious problem, it seemed that he had dug a hole for himself!
