If you want to learn martial arts well, you can't just bury your head in hard practice, but also learn more and see more.

Two miles outside Mengjia Village, Meng Li's master and apprentice hid in a huge banyan tree with new leaves replacing old leaves.

Meng Li pulled his head out of the dense branches and leaves, looked at the familiar dirt path under his feet, and wondered, "Master, what are you bringing me here for?"

Recently. A group of wild beasts migrated near Mengjia Village, and everyone in the village also organized an encirclement and suppression under the leadership of the old village chief, but they didn't want to have fierce beasts in the seemingly small herd, and the purpose of hunting not only failed to achieve, but also almost set themselves on fire.

Yan Xingguan, who was sitting opposite Meng Li and listening attentively to the sound of horses' hooves several miles away, stared at the end of the path with his eyes, and said absentmindedly: "It's not wrong to say that it's hunting." ”

Mengjia Village relies on water to draft, and most of the daily satiety is the fresh fish in the water of the Huaichuan River, but even if the things in the river are delicious, the three meals a day are eaten uninterruptedly, and they will be tired in the morning and evening. The reason why Mengjia Village had to round up the herd even if it took a risk was that there was no reason for Mengjiacun to round up the herd even if they took risks, so after mentioning the word hunting, Meng Li's first reaction was drooling.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the master is also a person in this way, with the master here tonight, it seems that I can feast on the apprentice. ”

"What kind of people in this way? What kind of feast? Do you even eat human flesh?" Yan Xingguan turned his head and looked at Meng Li with a strange expression.

"Human flesh?" Meng Li covered his mouth, holding back the exclamation that was almost about to shout, he leaned in front of Yan Xingguan and said nervously: "Master, what are we going to do?"

Yan Xingguan rolled his eyelids and said, "Fight!"

"Fight?" Meng Li grabbed his messy hair and asked, "Who are you fighting with?"

Yan Xingguan said expressionlessly: "Whoever passes by here, I will fight with whomever I want." ”

Meng Li looked at Yan Xingguan, who looked indifferent, and his expression was shocked, such unreasonable words, I am afraid that only this person can say so reasonably.

Recalling the scene that happened in the fishing ground this morning, Meng Wei shuddered and said, "Master is waiting for the official errand from the water town?"

At the fishing ground this morning, Li Botao made it clear that the news of Meng Huaiyang's murder had been sent to Shui Town, and the official sent by Shui Town to handle the case should also arrive.

Yan Xing nodded and said, "To be precise, it is a servant of the town by the water. ”

Meng Li said strangely: "Is there anything unusual about this official that the master can personally intercept here?"

Yan Xingguan said: "There is nothing special, refining the body and forging five forgings, but I have just reached the realm of a first-class martial artist." ”

Meng Li leaned in front of Yan Xingguan and said with a hippie smile: "Apprentice, I've always been curious, what kind of cultivation are you, Master?"

Yan Xingguan raised his chin and said proudly: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, as a teacher, I am in the late stage of Qi transformation, and I am only a line away from the Shaping Life Realm, in fact, the reason why I came to your poor countryside is also the meaning of retreat and breakthrough, and when I successfully break through to the Shaping Life Realm as a teacher, hehe......

Yan Xingguan didn't say the latter words, but what he wanted to express could be seen from his smug expression, but unfortunately, his behavior was destined to be flattering to the blind.

"Absorb Qi and transform into a Shape of Life?" Meng Li looked at Yan Xingguan in confusion, and said in confusion: "Isn't the highest cultivation of martial artists Nine Forgings? What are these?"

After refining the body, it is to absorb qi, and the qi is divided into two stages: condensation and transformation, and after transformation, it is to shape life. The so-called life shaping is the change of life after breaking through the limit, and it is a process of reshaping and renewing.

Cultivating to the realm of shaping life, the road of martial arts has basically come to an end, and then moving forward, although there is still an infinite realm that can open the door of the palace, but it is just a legendary realm that will only appear in the treasures of the book, the infinite line of heaven, the separation of this line, is the gap between heaven and earth, are two completely different worlds. In this world, there is no one who has achieved infinite achievements. Even the hidden ancestors of the eight major sects who guarded the sect were only two or three times at most.

At such an age, if Yan Xingguan can achieve a life-shaping, he will inevitably achieve an earth-shattering feat, and the entire rivers and lakes will be shocked at that time. But Meng couldn't learn martial arts for a day, and he didn't understand the power of transformation and life shaping, in his eyes, there was only one forging and one heavy heaven, and nine forging was the ultimate refining realm, and it was already a great thing to be able to achieve a first-class martial artist.

"Go, go, don't bother to pay attention to you. Yan Xingguan stretched out his hand to push away Meng Li, who was close at hand, and said with a look of disgust: "In the future, you can find out about the problems related to the cultivation realm, don't bother me." ”

Meng Li said stupidly: "The apprentice knows that the master is powerful, but the apprentice still doesn't know something, since the master is so powerful, why can't he get along with the officials of the water town?"

Yan Xingguan said: "Being a teacher is not to get along with him, but he happened to meet at the right time and happened to lend it to us." ”

Meng Li shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

Yan Xingguan turned his head and glanced at him, but the next moment he entered the state of a strict teacher, and said with a calm face: "In the matter of learning martial arts, you can't practice hard, but also pay attention to accumulation, listen and watch more, touch and bypass, and when your vision is high, some superficial truths, you don't need me to tell you, you can understand it yourself." ”

Only the truth that he understands can always be remembered in his heart, and he Yan Xingguan is also well-intentioned in order to teach a good apprentice!

"So Master wants me to gain insights from watching the battle. Meng Li, who learned the truth, was surprised, it turned out that martial arts can also be learned like this!

Yan Xingguan had a satisfied expression of being teachable, and said with a smile: "The reason why you work tirelessly for the teacher is to let you listen and watch more, and when you go down to fight for the teacher later, you must observe carefully, and you have to check the results for the teacher afterwards." ”

In the end, Yan Xingguan's eyes widened, as if Meng Li really dared to let him be busy in vain, he would eat Meng Li. We must not suffer in vain, this is a major criterion for Yan Xingguan to deal with people.

Meng Li said aggrievedly: "Master, you are a master, just demonstrate two tricks, it is enough for me to benefit immensely, why do you still use such trouble?"

Yan Xingguan stretched out his hand, tapped it lightly on Meng Li's head, and shouted: "You know a fart, just because you are a master as a teacher, you can't show it to you, otherwise why do you think I want to make trouble for myself?"

Of course, there is no problem with climbing the mountain high and looking at the bottom of the mountain, but if you climb too high and are in the clouds, you will not see anything.

Under the investigation of Yan Xingguan's Qi cultivation, there were two martial artists who came from the water town at this time, except for a decent five-forging martial artist, the remaining one was just the most ordinary second-rate martial artist. Yan Xingguan's goal is, of course, that five-forging martial artist, and fighting a martial artist of this level just happens to show something that Meng Li can understand.

Yan Xingguan's mind Meng Li didn't understand, but after all, the other party was from the government, so they had nothing to do, was it really good?

Meng Li opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he saw Yan Xingguan's eyes suddenly cold, and then he heard a low shout.

"Attention, they're coming!"

In the distance of the road, two fast horses gradually emerged from the night.

Meng Li looked at the two figures in the night, and said worriedly: "Master, you should pay attention for a while, if you beat the other party to death, we will be in even greater trouble." ”

Yan Xingguan smiled: "Don't worry, Master, I have a sense of proportion." ”

"That's good. Meng Li was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard Yan Xingguan say again: "Even if we kill someone, no one will notice us." ”

"Then forget it!" Meng Li sighed, and was about to persuade Yan Xingguan when the latter had already jumped from the tree. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell him to hide it.

On the road leading to Mengjia Village by the water town, two fast horses galloped past, and on the first one sat a man with a saber nearly thirty years old, the man had a cold face, and he was wearing an official uniform with a white face and a blue background.

The town is located in a remote area, it is a small township among the countless towns in the Southern Tang Dynasty, there is no major incident in the town, and the last time there was a homicide was two years ago.

Living and working in peace and contentment in the water town has always been the most proud thing for Ling Shou here, but now that there is a murder case, how can he condone it? Not to mention that the news of the murder case is still transmitted by Li Botao. As a first-class martial artist, Li Botao has a very high status in the town of Shui Shui, so his request should naturally be taken more seriously, and he sent the best catcher in the government on the spot.

Zhang Song is the martial artist who catches fast and refines the body five forgings, and he is only a wall away from a first-class martial artist, serving as the head catcher in the government, and he is also the one who is the best at dealing with murders among the people.

There have been no homicides for two years, and the stable situation in Shuizhen has given Zhang Song very few opportunities to show his strengths, and the occasional cases are all trivial matters. Zhang Song, who had been silent for two years, immediately rode his horse and galloped to Mengjia Fishing Village after hearing the news.

When it was about to get dark, Mengjiacun was already close in front of him, looking at the lights that were gradually shining in the distance, and the ride that followed Zhang Song all the way suddenly sounded.

"Brother Zhang, it's Mengjia Village in front, right?"

Zhang Song drove the jujube red horse, turned his head to look at the young man who followed all the way behind him, the twenty-year-old young face was full of excitement, and the look in his eyes made people can't help but envy.

Looking at this young and energetic face, Zhang Song sighed. "That's right, the front is Mengjia Village, when you get there, put away all your stinky problems for me, if it affects the reputation of our water town, see if I don't pick your skin!"

A young man whose heart had already flown out hurriedly took his mind back, and said resignedly: "Knowing Brother Zhang, I, Wang Ergou, promise to keep to myself." ”

Zhang Song shook his head and said, "I don't understand, why do you have to join in this fun." ”

The young man named Wang Ergou smiled and didn't explain much.

Wang Ergou grew up in the alleys of the town by the water, and his family opened a small teahouse that was famous far and wide. The small teahouse can not only drink tea, but also listen to books. When he was a child, Wang Ergou didn't know the wonder of tea, and his favorite thing was to lie on the nearest seat of the storytelling table and listen to Mr. Tell the story.

The geographical location of the water town is not good, and if you want to swim in the rivers and lakes, it is inherently more difficult than elsewhere. Wang Ergou's talent is not outstanding, although he caught up with the good time of spreading martial arts in the world, but after several years of hard training, he still did not meet the standard of becoming a teacher, so he did not enter the rivers and lakes for a long time.

Some people are just so funny, and the more they don't get it, the more they crave it. Wang Ergou is now twenty years old, because he has not been able to enter the rivers and lakes, he is even more yearning for what he hears in the rivers and lakes, but relying on the fart of Shuizhen, there are not many people who know martial arts, let alone any well-known deeds in the rivers and lakes. Today's murder is probably the most sensational incident in Yishui Town in the past two years, as a "good man", how can he ignore it?

Approaching Mengjia Village, Wang Ergou was even more excited, before he came, he had heard that the wound on the victim's body was a hideous knife wound, and he didn't know if it was done by people in the rivers and lakes?

In this mood, Wang Ergou rushed all the way, and he would never have thought that before they arrived in Mengjia Village, he and Zhang Song met a warm "welcome", and it was the master of the rivers and lakes that he dreamed of welcoming them.
