A martial artist, since the day he decided to learn martial arts, must continue to boil his body, which is not only the only way to refine his body and forge his soul, but also a way to strengthen his belief in martial arts.

There are many factors involved in how far a martial artist can go, but in the final analysis, it is talent and diligence.

Zhang Song has been a martial artist for ten years, and now he is refining the body five forgings, and when his talent is not outstanding, he can do this step, which is inseparable from his daily hard work.

Zhang Song is diligent in martial arts every day, and under the continuous tempering, the strength of his body has already exceeded the ordinary number of times, even if he does not urge the true qi, the slash with the back of a knife should not be blocked by a bamboo pole.

"This bamboo pole is weird! No, it's the person who threw the bamboo pole is weird!"

Zhang Song, who removed the anger in his heart with a knife, put the long knife into the scabbard, and no longer looked at the panicked and shocked girl on the side, but looked in the direction where the bamboo pole came from.

There were many villagers standing in the direction from which the bamboo poles came, but the only one who could attract Zhang Song's attention was a thin young man with tanned skin.

"You threw the bamboo pole just now?" Zhang Song looked at Meng Li, who was still throwing and asked, knowingly.

Meng Li, who was caught by the other party, naturally would not deny it, raised his legs and came to Meng Rou, blocked him behind him, and said directly to Zhang Song: "It's me." ”

Meng Jiangxi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because his daughter was saved, lifted his heart again after seeing Meng Li. The feet did not stop, he was rushing towards Zhang Song, ran to Meng Li's side, and shouted softly: "You kid, what can you do, go home and stay for me honestly." After speaking, he said to Zhang Song: "I'll go with you, I'll leave now." ”

"If I want to take you away, I can do it at any time. Zhang Song waved his hand, smiled coldly at Meng Jiangxi, and then looked at Meng Li and said: "When I entered the village last night, I met a young man named Meng Hou, Meng Hou helped me defend a teenager when he helped me guide the way, this young man is named Meng Li, I guess, you are that Meng Li!"

In fact, Meng Hou has defended Meng Li more than once. Early this morning, Zhang Song found Meng Hou to fulfill his promise, and when he helped Meng Hou to cross his body, Meng Hou interceded for Meng Li again, and Zhang Song, who felt this innocent friendship, only smiled slightly.

However, when he saw this Meng Li today, he found something strange.

This Meng Li, his qi and blood are vain, but he is full of physical strength, and he has a plausible taste of a martial artist, as if he has touched the martial arts barrier.

Did this boy learn martial arts?

Zhang Song was curious in his heart, if he really learned martial arts and always polished his qi and blood, how could he still have his qi and blood?

However, the bamboo pole that flew just now is indeed not simple, not to mention the accuracy of the throwing rod, just the explosive power that was thrown is not something that ordinary people can do.

Zhang Song looked at Meng Jiangxi, and suddenly realized that he seemed to smile and said: "Although our Southern Tang Dynasty promotes martial arts and spreads it all over the world, it is not unteachable, anyone can teach and learn." If you don't pass on the order of martial arts and give martial arts privately, then you don't respect the law of the country, and your crime can be big or small!"

Meng Jiangxi said: "Adults are like pearls, we have indeed cultivated, but that is just a way to strengthen the body, if adults are suspicious, you can explore at will to see if there are traces of true qi in our bodies." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hands and was fearless. The definition of a martial artist is the true qi circulation, if there is no true qi in the body, how can it be called the word "cultivation", cultivation can't be talked about, how can you talk about teaching martial arts privately?

"You're going to argue. Zhang Song, who had already learned about the situation in Meng Jiangxi before, naturally did not make any more moves, and said with a smile: "I used to call me a bastard, but now I call myself an adult, your ability to change your face is no worse than that of a woman." ”

Most women will not be very bad at changing their faces, and the sentence "changing faces is like turning a book" is exactly what it says.

Meng Jiangxi said with a calm face: "If you dare to make a move on my daughter again, I will never spare you." ”

Zhang Song snorted coldly, no longer paid attention to Meng Jiangxi, turned his head to look at Meng Li, and said, "Dare to shoot at me, you are very good." ”

"The adults praised it falsely, and the small people were just bent on saving people, and they had no choice but to do so. Meng Li clenched his fists with both hands, neither humble nor arrogant. In the face of this big man from the town of Leaning Water, even if he didn't like it in his heart, he couldn't show it.

"It's a last resort. Zhang Song laughed, couldn't help but look at Meng Li twice, and sighed: "No wonder it is a character who dares to contradict Li Botao, but he has a pair of sharp teeth." ”

Meng Li said: "Xiaomin's teeth have always been good, everything he eats is very fragrant, and he doesn't care about it." ”

"Humph, little one!"

Zhang Song sneered twice, no longer paid attention to this insignificant young man, waved his hand, and said to Wang Ergou behind him: "Let's go, if there is any obstruction, there will be no forgiveness." ”

There is no forgiveness for killing, although the voice is soft, but everyone who says it is cold!

Zhang Song turned his head and walked outside the village, and Wang Ergou didn't know where to find a rope and tie Meng Jiangxi's hands. said "offended" again, pushed Meng Jiangxi to walk out, and when he passed by Liu Hui's side, the latter said softly: "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Meng Jiangxi smiled bitterly, but did not speak, and walked outside in silence.

On the road outside the village, two clouds of smoke and dust soon rose, and the sound of horses' hooves galloping gradually faded away.

The departure of her father made Meng Rou's suppressed emotions completely explode, and she fell into Meng Li's arms and cried.

Meng Li touched her head, as if he had comforted her when he was a child, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely let Old Uncle Meng come back safely!"

When Zhang Song and Wang Ergou took Meng Jiangxi away, Li Botao was sitting quietly in the room. His room was spacious and bright, with everything from tables, chairs, benches, and bookcases to flatbed bookcases, all by the best carpenters in the village. This house, which was specially prepared by the old village chief because of his martial arts, is almost the best house in the village, but for Li Botao, who insists on penance every day and has long integrated life and cultivation, such things outside his body are not worth caring about.

Not long after Li Botao's cultivation, Meng Xi walked in from outside, just like going home, and found a chair to sit down at will.

Li Botao, who noticed that Meng Xi was coming in, reined in the exercises, exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, opened his eyes and said, "Zhang Song, are they leaving?"

Meng Xi nodded, and stopped talking.

Seeing him so restrained, Li Botao said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just ask, there is nothing to say between you and me." ”

Meng Xi said: "Master, do you think Meng Jiangxi will be the murderer?"

Li Botao asked rhetorically: "Do you think he will be a murderer?"

Meng Xi shook his head. Li Botao thought he would say that he didn't know, but he said "no", and his tone was very resolute.

Meng Xi said firmly: "Meng Jiangxi can never be a murderer, my grandfather once said that he is a man with a very sense of responsibility, and he will never harm his family because of personal grievances, or he will not do anything that may hurt his family." He has a long-standing grudge with my second uncle, and if something had happened, it should have happened a long time ago, so why would he wait until today?"

Li Botao praised: "What you said is very reasonable, but some things can't just look at the surface, your second uncle died at the hands of a warrior, there is no doubt about this, and in Mengjia Village, only Meng Jiangxi can exert the power of a warrior, in other words, he is the only breakthrough." ”

Meng Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Is he really a martial artist?"

Li Botao said: "He is not a martial artist, just like a martial artist, his cultivation method has some flaws, and he cannot convert all the power he cultivates into force." ”

Meng Xi shook his head and said, "I don't believe he will be a murderer no matter what." ”

"Then let the facts speak!" Li Botao was not in a hurry to argue with this disciple whom he loved very much, and said with a smile: "I heard that your grandfather is coming back?"

Meng Xi said: "The letter from this morning is already on the way back, but Grandpa still has some things to deal with, and he will go to Shui Town before returning to the village." ”

"Are you going to Shui Town?" Li Botao showed an expression of surprise on his face, and immediately said with relief: "That's fine, I was still thinking about how to tell your grandfather about this before, but now I don't need to, he will definitely get involved when he goes to Shui Town." ”

Meng Xi worried: "If I can, I'd rather my grandfather never know about it." Thinking of his grandfather, whose health has become worse and worse in recent years, a trace of worry flashed on Meng Xi's face and asked, "Master, can I go to Shui Town?"

Li Botao frowned and scolded: "Now is the critical moment for you to build your foundation, how can you run around casually?"

"But I'm ......" Meng Xi was about to ask for his master's understanding when he saw the latter raise his hand and interrupt his words.

"I know what you're worried about, but your grandfather will be fine, after all, he's a man of a long age, and there's nothing else to see. Of course, if you have to go out, it's not impossible. I pass on your martial arts, after all, not to restrict your freedom, it's also a good thing to go out and walk more. But before you go, you need to finish the first forge. ”

Hearing that he would not be able to leave the village until he had completed the first forging, Meng Xi said with a sad face: "How long will it take to practice?"

"Rest assured, it won't be long. Li Botao said with relief: "Through these two days of cultivation, I have a basic understanding of your situation, your talent is indeed rare in the world, in just two days, most of the foundation building has been completed, I believe that in two days, you will be able to complete the first forging." ”

Meng Xi clenched his fists, looked at the south of the village through the window, and muttered, "Do you want two more days?" ”
