After a while, the little servant stopped at the door of a room and said, "Guest officer, this Geng 12 cabin is your room." This is your key, please keep it. As he spoke, he handed him an iron key.

Li Miao nodded and said, "Thank you, you can get busy." "Take the key, open the door, and go in."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from the depths of the cabin, and a figure walked slowly.

He glanced at it, and through the light cast by the openwork window, he saw that it was a man in a brown cloth coat and a hat on his head.

Although he was in the cabin, he still did not take off his hat, and pressed the edge of the hat very low, covering most of his face, and only the chin with a full beard could be seen.

"How is he?"

Li Miao was a little surprised.

This person is none other than the mysterious monk who stopped him and Concubine Qi yesterday and told him the origin of the two swords "Zijun" and "Qingxuan".

The man in the hat walked over, originally wanting to go to the main cabin, but after finding him, he suddenly stopped, raised his face slightly and said, "It's your Zijun's new master." ”

"Li Miao has seen his predecessors. ”

Li Miao knew that the other party's strength was profound, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said with his hand.

The man in the hat nodded slightly in response, and asked, "Where are you going when you get on this boat?"

"The county seat. ”

Li Miao did not hide it, and directly said the destination of his trip. Then he said, "Senior, where are you going, oh yes, I don't know what to call senior."

The man in the hat said lightly, "I have no name or surname, you can call me a butcher." Since we are going to the county town, you and I are also fated, but we can have a companion. ”

"Butcher"

Li Miao chewed on the meaning of this name, and strange thoughts flooded his heart.

Ordinary people don't use the name "butcher", this person is either a former butcher, or a fierce person who has killed countless people and slaughtered like demons.

However, judging from the appearance and temperament, it seems that both of them are not quite consistent with their images

Li Miao pondered for a moment.

At this time, the butcher asked him, "Junior, do you drink?"

Li Miao nodded and said, "When it's not a war, drink it occasionally." ”

"That's right, come and have a few drinks with me. ”

The corners of the butcher's mouth moved slightly, and he nodded in satisfaction and greeted.

It's also an honor to be able to drink with senior masters.

Li Miao did not refuse, closed the door, and followed the butcher to the main cabin.

The main cabin was actually a hall, like a tavern lobby, with seven or eight tables.

Due to the small space on board, the tables were close to each other, and the stronger ones had to lean sideways to get through.

A dozen ordinary businessmen-looking people occupied a few tables, where they talked and didn't know what to say. When Li Miao and the butcher came, there happened to be an empty table, so they sat down.

"Little brother, come to two large jars of wine, the stronger the better. As soon as the butcher sat down, he shouted to the little servant next to him.

The little guy replied, "Okay, wait a minute, here we come." ”

Then he walked into the small warehouse next to him and took out two jars of ten-pound wine.

"Five-year-old burnt knives, spicy and warm, burning when on fire, should suit your taste. The little guy put the wine jar on the table and said with a smile.

The butcher took over a jar and slapped the mud seal open, and the strong aroma of the wine immediately overflowed, and when you smelled it, you knew that it was a pure spirit that had not been mixed with water.

"Yes, yes, among mortal drinks, it's strong enough. He was satisfied, and paid a heavy silver tael.

"Then you two use it slowly. The little guy took the money and stepped back with a smile.

"Come, taste it. ”

The butcher filled himself with a bowl, greeted Li Miao, and drank it himself.

Li Miao hadn't tasted wine for two or three years since he last went out with the army, and he was a little moved at the moment, so he took another jar and poured himself a big bowl.

When the wine is poured into the bowl, the smell of wine immediately hits the face.

He took a sip, only to feel the pain in his mouth as if he had swallowed dozens of tiny blades. If it weren't for the physique far beyond ordinary people, I would have choked on tears just this bite.

"What a strong wine," Li Miao couldn't help but exclaim.

The butcher raised his eyes slightly, seeing that he couldn't bear the pungency of the burning knife, and smiled, "It seems that your alcohol consumption is not very good." ”

"This"

Li Miao smiled awkwardly and replied, "I used to be in the army, and I wasn't allowed to drink more." Drink it occasionally, it's all mild drinks, and it's the first time I've encountered such a hot drink. ”

The butcher shook his head and said, "That's not good. As a swordsman, it's important to learn how to drink. If you don't know the intention of drinking, it will be difficult to understand the sword momentum, if you don't understand the sword momentum, it will be difficult to cultivate the sword heart, and if you don't know the sword heart, it will be difficult to understand the sword way. A person who only practices the style is not worthy to be called a swordsman. ”

said it, the words were sonorous.

But Li Miao didn't quite agree with his statement.

Because he had heard stories of several sword masters in the Silver League, some of them liked to drink, but some of them were extremely self-disciplined and did not drink at all.

Whether you drink or not is not that important, what really matters is the swordsman's understanding of the creation of the world.

Of course, he won't say what is in his heart and dismantle the stage of his predecessors.

Li Miao just replied: "The seniors may have misunderstood. Although I got Zijun, I am not a person who wields a sword. What I'm better at is actually knife skills. ”

"Knife Technique"

The butcher's voice suddenly rose a little higher, the hat was slightly raised, and the hand holding the bowl was fixed in mid-air.

"Yes, what's wrong with the knife technique" Li Miao was a little confused.

The butcher pondered in silence.

After a while, he brought the bowl of wine to his lips and drank it all.

After drinking, he put down the bowl, took two chopsticks from the chopsticks next to him, threw one to Li Miao, and said, "I haven't seen a decent swordsman for a long time." Come, play with your knife and see. ”

Li Miao caught the chopsticks, a little confused.

However, he still acted according to his words, using a very faint trace of original energy, injecting it into the chopsticks, replacing the knife with a chopstick, and slashing at the butcher obliquely.

The butcher's eyes under the hat looked indifferently, and when the chopsticks were handed over, he also moved the chopsticks, and clicked on Li Miao's chopsticks lightly.

This time, he didn't use any true yuan mana, just an action made with mortal-level power.

But he coincidentally hit the weakest point of Li Miao's "knife momentum", and instantly broke the sharp knife qi.

Both of them moved quickly, from the voice falling, to picking up chopsticks, to defusing the knife, it was just two blinks of an eye.

Li Miao's knife momentum was broken, and he was stunned for a moment.

Before he could think about it, the butcher said in disgust, "It's too rough, and this is worthy of the knife technique again."

Li Miao changed his move again, and handed out a "knife" again with the momentum of splitting the mountain.

The butcher's movements are still simple, raise your hand, move the chopstick, and lightly.

"Smack".

The two chopsticks met in the sky above the hat table, and Li Miao's one was directly bounced out, spun in the air for several weeks, and inserted into the wooden wall next to it.

"It's so reckless. Advancing without retreating is the way to death. Again. The butcher's tone was even more disgusted, and his brows furrowed under the hat.

After saying that, he took out another chopstick and threw it over.

Li Miao held the second chopstick, and his heart shook.

He asked himself that all his combat skills had been honed in countless battles, and if he was not perfect, at least he could be called proficient.

But in the eyes of the butcher, it was as if he was just a child, and there was no merit at all.

The two light pokes hit the weakest part of his strength with unmistakable accuracy, like a snake striking seven inches and a horse stumbling on its front hooves. The weakness was broken, and no matter how fierce his momentum was, it was like a deflated ball, and it was empty in an instant.

This is undoubtedly an extremely clever skill, focusing on people's weaknesses and killing the strongest enemy with the least force

With a little shock and a little joy of meeting a master, Li Miao pinched the chopsticks and sent out the knife qi for the third time.

This time, he used the Elemental Devouring Knife Technique to annihilate energy, and even the air was slightly distorted wherever the chopsticks passed.

Seeing this, the butcher nodded slightly, more satisfied.

Of course, to deal with this "knife", his movements are still lightly clicked.

The chopsticks flickered, and he came first, pointing on the thumb of Li Miao's right hand holding the chopsticks.

This time, he hit Li Miao's right hand "Yuji Point" unbiasedly.

With a slight feeling of paralysis, Li Miao's fingers were soft, and the chopsticks fell directly off his hand and fell on the table.

"Dodo"

The chopsticks containing the power of devouring the yuan were inserted deep into the wooden table, directly poking the tabletop through it.

The butcher said, "The knife technique is acceptable, but the posture of holding the knife is too rash. You can't even hold a knife steadily, and you are worthy of being called a knife man."

Li Miao looked excited.

Being criticized and questioned three times in a row, he was not frustrated, but was extremely pleasantly surprised

Because he knows that this is a great opportunity and a great creation

This butcher was far superior to his previous guess of strength.

To be personally trained by such a master is a great blessing that others can't ask for

"I beg my seniors to give me advice," Li Miao said excitedly.

The butcher glanced up at him slightly, lowered his head and drank, and said lightly, "Why should I teach you"

"This"

Li Miao was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

He and the butcher had only just met, and the two of them were not related to each other, and they had no interests, so he couldn't think of a reason to let the butcher teach him skills.

"Can Zijun be counted as a reason?" he asked with some confidence.

The butcher shook his head slightly, and replied, "If it's for Zijun, I should pass on your sword skills, not sword skills." ”

Swordsmanship

With the skills shown by the butcher, his swordsmanship is of course extremely powerful.

But he only had the idea of temptation after hearing himself say that he was "good at using a knife", which shows that he cares about "knife" more than "sword".

So it's certain that the butcher's knife skills are definitely more powerful than the sword skills

"I want to learn the art of swordsmanship, I want to be a real strong man," Li Miao said.

He couldn't find a good reason, so he could only say what he was thinking at the moment.

Before meeting the butcher, he just felt that his methods were too simple, and when fighting the enemy, he was easy to use old moves and be seen through.

But now he understands that the skills he has practiced in the "virtual life and death field" are nothing more than child's play in front of real masters, and they are not worth mentioning at all

That kind of knife technique that kills enemies quickly is only suitable for slaughtering enemies weaker than oneself and effectively eliminating targets in the melee.

And when he encounters an evenly matched opponent, he will appear stretched and often weak.

When I played against Lu Yan yesterday, I felt like this

The butcher took two sips of the liquor and fell into thought.

After a while, he asked, "There are countless people in the world who want to be strong, why don't I choose someone with a better foundation and teach you?"

Li Miao replied, "There may be many, many people with a better foundation than me, but those with stronger mental methods than me, I'm afraid I can't find a few people all over the world." ”

He said this confidently.

Otherwise, in front of a master like the butcher, he didn't dare to brag indiscriminately.

But the heart of the universe he dares

Because this channeling technique was created by the Great Alliance Master of the Galactic Transcendent Alliance with countless efforts and energy.

And the Great Alliance Lord is a cosmic overlord who controls the laws of the universe and crushes stars as easily as crushing briquettes

If even this kind of mental method is not top-notch, then this world of immortal cultivation is too terrifying.

Li Miao's self-confidence surprised the butcher.

The butcher put down the bowl and said, "Not a small tone. You work on your mind, let me see what's so special. ”

Li Miao didn't say a word, just sat on the bench, closed his eyes and operated the guidance technique of the heart of the universe.

In an instant, the cosmic origin energy inside and outside the cabin was aroused, and wisps of invisible cosmic origin power swarmed towards him, burrowing into his body from his limbs and hundreds of remains.

The butcher didn't notice anything unusual at first.

Because within the scope of his perception, the aura of heaven and earth was calm, and there was no fluctuation at all.

But soon, he noticed something different.

The aura of heaven and earth did not move, but another, more elusive energy did

"I haven't even seen this kind of exercise. ”

The butcher let out an exclamation in his heart, and the tiger's eyes under the hat couldn't help but widen a little.

"That's it. He interrupted Li Miao's practice with a loud voice.

Half of Li Miao's mind was left in the outside world, and he didn't really enter the cultivation state, and he immediately opened his eyes when he heard the words.

Asked, "Senpai, how is this?"

The butcher didn't answer, but said, "Pass me a trace of your mana." ”

Li Miao did as he was told, and passed a wisp of original energy to the other party's hands.

The butcher sensed the immense creativity contained in that ray of primal energy, and a storm was set in his heart.

With his insight, it is naturally not difficult to see what mysterious effect the power of the original energy has on living beings.

At the moment, he secretly said in his heart, "This power is similar to the primordial immortal qi, but it is more pure than the primordial immortal qi, and it is simply the same as the rumored origin of the opening of the heavens." Between heaven and earth, when did such a magical mental method appear, the origin of this son is probably unusual. ”

He lowered his head in contemplation, lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Where did the mental method come from, Li Miao was stopped by this question.

The Heart of the Universe is something that the Great Alliance Master has placed in the Expeditionary Force's merit vault, and anyone can redeem it as long as the merit is sufficient.
