There were two strange words on the handle of the short blade, which Mei Yi didn't recognize, and when Master Xingyun came to teach, Mei Zhenyi asked her to identify it. Shitai studied it carefully for a long time, and deduced that it was the word "Kunwu" in ancient Jinwen. In the Taoist "Qingxu Sutra", there is such a passage: "King Mu of Zhou conquered Xirong, and Xirong offered the sword of Kunwu and the cloth of fire. Its sword is long and long, and the steel is red, and it is used to cut jade like mud. ”

Master Nebula guessed that it was probably the legendary Kunwu Sword, and this conclusion was astonishing!

Legend has it that the Kunwu sword can cut jade like mud, whether it is really verified, Mei Zhenyi found that it is indeed sharp, but it depends on how to use it. This sword is too light and forceless, and it is naturally sharp when used to cut tofu, and it is reluctant to cut wood, but if you use the mana of the imperial object and urge it with internal strength, you can directly insert it into the rock without hurting the blade, and it is really a treasure blade!

Mei Zhenyi was naughty, and tried the pair of bracers that Mei Yi gave him with the Kunwu sword, and found that the use of the Kunwu sword could not hurt the bracers, it may be that his mana is insufficient, on the other hand, it also shows that this pair of bracers is indeed extraordinary. How could the legendary Kunwu sword fall into the hands of a shaman? And the fact that the great witch died after breaking the sword shows that the status of the escapee he wants to protect is not ordinary.

Mei Yi heard that Master Xingyun guessed that this short blade had an extraordinary origin, and he also felt very surprised in his heart, vaguely feeling that he missed a great achievement by not catching up with all the remnants of the enemy at that time, and occasionally sighed to Mei Zhenyi: "Young master, our brother didn't catch up with the last fleeing enemy that day, and now I think about it a little regrettable, if I catch up that day, I may not be just a guerrilla general now." ”

Mei Zhenyi smiled and comforted: "Uncle Yi, meritorious deeds must also be enjoyed with a life! Have you ever thought of another possibility, you fortunately didn't catch up that day, if you really catch up in the end, maybe I won't be able to accompany the guerrilla general for the New Year today." ”

Mei Zhenyi analyzed with him, and there were still more than ten horsemen left in the remnants of the enemy that day. In addition to the leader, there should be elite subordinates, flying out of a big witch is so fierce and difficult to fight, what if there is another master? It doesn't need too much, and another master who is comparable to that big witch, Mei Gang and Mei Yi brothers are afraid that it will be dangerous.

Those people may not be afraid of the Mei brothers' team, but they don't want to expose their strength too much and entangle for too long, in case they alarm the main force of the nearby army to outflank them, they really can't escape. They probably just wanted to escape and didn't want to fight, so they let the Mei brothers choose a bargain.

Mei Xiaolang said afterwards, "The grassland is vast, and it is common to escape a few horses, and your brothers have also made a military exploit, so it's good that people can come back safely!" This last sentence was a little abrupt, as if it was a relief for the Mei brothers, and they may have thought of this.

After listening to Mei Zhenyi's explanation, Mei Yi also came back to his senses and remembered what Mei Xiaolang said. patted his chest and said: "I'm just a martial artist, I can't think so much on the battlefield, and I'm really a little lucky to hear the young master say this." Go home and cuddle your mother-in-law for a good New Year, poor mother-in-law. I almost didn't see the man come back. ”

Mei Zhenyi asked with a smile: "Uncle Yi, do all the people who come back from the battlefield miss their mother-in-law?" Don't be in such a hurry, it's not dark yet, you tell me first." How can the Great Witch slash down the five horsemen with one sword?"

Mei Yi: "I can see clearly, the seven sword rays emitted by the man's wave of his hand, my brother and I blocked it, and the five horsemen next to him were not so lucky." This sword is not simple, I'll try it for you. He took the Kunwu sword from Mei Zhenyi's hand, and swung it out with a low shout, only to see that the sword body emitted seven pieces of cold light like flying feathers, cutting into the ground and leaving seven deep cracks.

Mei Zhenyi applauded: "Uncle Yi is so powerful. It turns out that you will also do this hand. ”

Mei Yi: "This is nothing, I have used the sword technique to launch it with all my might, and it is okay to kill a few thieves within three zhang, but it is still impossible to kill the armored cavalry outside five zhang." You're right, if there is another master on the same day, my brother and I may both confess. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Uncle Yi doesn't have to be too modest, his swordsmanship is like yours." It's pretty smart. It's only a line away from the sword flying immortals in the world, and I'm so envious. ”

Mei Yi smiled: "Envy." Then practice well, with your cultivation today, you can already practice the Imperial Sword Technique. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Okay, when will we start practicing?"

Mei Yi's smile had a rare teasing taste: "Right now, start by chopping vegetables!"

It's not a joke to say that you start by cutting vegetables, you really start by cutting vegetables, and cutting the ground is a high-pole cabbage. Mei Zhenyi's current cultivation has just been able to master the most basic imperial weapon spells, holding the Kunwu sword in his hand, according to the imperial sword technique taught by Mei Yi, he can emit a faint sword light. This sword is the extension of his divine consciousness through the magic weapon, condensed by mana, if he does not break through the realm of the gods, if he is not on the way to cultivate the easy tendons and wash the marrow, he really can't master it.

Mei Yi's first step is not to let him have much powerful mana in a short period of time, the first thing is to learn to use his divine sense to accurately control the magic weapon and achieve a subtle state of being one with the body and mind, which is the synchronous training of energy and spirit. Mei Yi happened to see that there were servants in Qi Yunguan's backyard cutting cabbage stalks with knives, and he had an idea of a way to exercise Mei Zhenyi.

The first time I cut the vegetable stalks, I put them on the cutting board, and when I accidentally spit out the sword, I even cut three slits on the cutting board and table. It took three days for Mei Zhenyi to learn to accurately control the sword in a small space outside the tip of the sword. Mei Yi's requirements are not high, that is, he can send out three sword rays with a wave of his hand at will, and accurately cut the cabbage stalk into the shape needed to make pickled coriander.

It seems simple, and it doesn't have much power, but it is much more subtle than the control of weapons when killing enemies on the battlefield, and cultivators have a more subtle realm in terms of divine sense. In the first three days, Mei Zhenyi cut a mess, and hundreds of catties of good cabbage could not be used, so she could only chop it up and feed the pigs.

While practicing the sword technique, Mei Zhenyi also insisted on meditating and practicing the Lingshan Heart Method every day, sensing the clear state when the Yuan Shen was presented, and gradually, he became more and more proficient when cutting vegetables during the day. Urging the Kunwu Sword with mana, it sent out three sword rays with precision, just like gently stretching out his three fingers, sweeping them over the vegetable stems, cutting them into four long strips like chopsticks, and not hurting the cutting board below.

At first, the people were startled when they saw the young master doing this kind of rough work himself, and naturally discouraged him. But Mei Yi said that the young master was practicing swordsmanship, and the servants all helped the young master line up the cabbage. Seeing this, Zhang Guo issued an order: all the servants and tenants of the Mei family in Wuzhou do not need to make pickled coriander for the Chinese New Year this year, and the young master must personally process it, and Qi Yunguan will do it and send it to each family for the year.

The Mei family has thousands of tenants in Wuzhou, and there are tens of thousands of catties of pickled coriander for the New Year, which is still dried and pickled, and the amount of fresh high-pole white is more than 100,000 catties. Now Qiyun Guan is lively. Every day, servants go to the mountain to pick bundles of cabbage, and rows of long bamboo poles are erected in the open space outside the gate of Qiyunguan, on which are hung cabbage stalks that have been broken and tied upside down.

The pure land of the ashram has simply become a vegetable market, and there is only one kind of dish. There is no other reason, the eldest young master of the Mei family wants to practice swords.

After cutting skillfully on the cutting board, the pattern was changed, and more than a dozen vegetable stems were tied up at one end and hung upside down on the bamboo pole. Let the young master stand not far away and release the sword volley to cut. First, use the power of the air to swing a bundle of vegetable stalks, and the sword flies to cut them one by one, which is more than ten times more difficult than cutting on the cutting board, and Mei Zhenyi doesn't know how many bundles of cabbage have been cut, so he has mastered it.

Fortunately, this kind of high-pole white is not expensive in Wuzhou. It is a vegetable planted after the autumn harvest to before the severe winter, with high yield and low price, mainly used for pickled coriander. Almost all the tenants in the neighborhood sent all the high-pole white they planted to Qiyunguan, and Zhang Guo also rewarded them.

Tie the leaves into bundles and hang them on a pole and cut them. After practicing and skilled, I changed another trick. Pile up the broken vegetable leaves on the clean ground, Zhang Guo cast a demon spell to roll up a gust of wind, rolling the vegetable leaves flying all over the sky. Mei Zhenyi stood majestically in the middle of the clearing, carrying a small sword and flying up and down, the sword was shining in the air, and then left a mess of rotten vegetables. - Alas, we have to feed the pigs again.

In short, during the wax moon before the Chinese New Year, Mei Zhenyi did almost nothing else. It is to meditate at night and chop vegetables during the day. At the end of the exercise, the leaves fell to the ground, and the long white stems were neatly cut into four strips. Mei Yi finally said: "Young Master, you don't need to practice, your skills are already proficient, what is missing now is the strength of mana and the degree of extension of divine sense, this is not a place that can be exercised by cutting vegetables." ”

Mei Zhenyi also felt the same way, and now uses the Kunwu sword. He didn't need to look. As long as the divine consciousness can sense, it is within the range of mana control. With a wave of his hand, the sword is more flexible than his own hand, and he can hover and fly at will no matter what direction he is in.

It is said that after a long time, someone asked the Mei brothers: "How did you practice the Mei family's swordsmanship in the first place?" Mei Danan replied: "It is chopping vegetables, pickled coriander, a specialty of Wuzhou." Mei's also opened the first professional pickle processing factory in Wuzhou, and the shopkeeper was Ji Shancheng, the owner of Wanjia Hotel, who sold Wuzhou's specialty pickled coriander to all parts of the Yangtze River, which is a later story.

Mei Yi asked the young master not to cut vegetables anymore, but Mei Zhenyi shook his head and said: "No, Zhang Guo has already said that he will send pickled coriander to all tenants in the New Year, so many dishes have to be cut by people, and they must not be exhausted to death, so I will come." ”

In the next few days, the eldest young master cut all the dishes with his own hands with "divine speed", and completed the most complex shredding process of pickled coriander. So this year, there was a popular saying in Wuzhou - this year's New Year does not receive gifts, and pickled coriander is accepted as gifts.

Without further ado, Mei Zhenyi's swordsmanship has just begun, and the lively New Year has finally arrived. This is the second New Year he has passed after the crossing, and on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he specially returned to Jingwu Mountain Villa, where he has not lived for a long time, and the atmosphere in the mountain villa has never been more enthusiastic. It's a good feeling, but there's also a hint of regret.

He was an orphan before the crossing, but Mei's homeland was almost entirely his relatives. Now there are Zhang Guo and the Mei brothers and others accompanying them like stars, but they still feel like an orphan, and their father who has not met is busy in Luoyang, and the stepmother obviously does not want to see her. Alas, it is difficult to be perfect in the world, since ancient times!

He inexplicably remembered familiar faces such as Mei Taigong, Professor Qu, Qu Yimin, etc., and when his mind turned, he remembered another person, that is, He Yougu, who resembled Qu Yimin. I don't know what happened to this congenitally weak little girl's health? Although that bottle of Shengyuan Pill was very helpful to cultivation and could help increase mana, he was reluctant to use any of it, so it was time to send it to He Yougu.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, he returned to Qiyunguan, and as usual in previous years, he sent a hundred taels of silver to Qu Zhensheng, the main viewer, Qu Zhensheng patted him on the shoulder and made two jokes, and accepted it with a smile. Then he changed into a Taoist dress. With some broken silver in his arms, he left with Zhang Guo, preparing to go to Hejia Village, Yangxian Township, at the foot of Miaomen Mountain, to visit He Yougu.

As soon as he walked out of Qiyun Temple, he saw that under a big tree next to the mountain road in the distance, there was a high-hairpin Taoist priest sitting in his hand, shaking a broken pu fan, it was Zhong Liquan. Mei Zhenyi and Zhang Guo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Senior Zhongli." I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've been waiting in the view, and I haven't seen you until the New Year. ”

Zhong Liquan glared: "What, should my old man stay here all the time?"

Zhang Guo shook his hand again and again: "My young master didn't mean this, he thought that you were still in the mountains, so he specially prepared good wine and good food before the New Year, hoping to invite the seniors to be lively and lively together, and not to be lonely and lonely." ”

Zhong Liquan: "Oh. This is a kind heart, but my old man will not be lonely, you will celebrate the New Year and I will also celebrate the New Year, I will go to Zhongnan Mountain to see the disciples and grandchildren of Donghua. I just came back today, and I just happened to see you old and young going out. Where is this going?"

Mei Zhenyi: "We plan to go to Hejia Village, Yangxian Township to do something, but there is no need to be anxious to see the seniors here, so we respectfully invite the seniors to Qiyunguan as guests, and the juniors have always wanted to ask for advice." ”

Zhong Liquan patted his ass and stood up: "Do your business." Don't delay because of me, you are also wearing a Taoist uniform today? It is just right for the two of us to walk together! I also know Hejia Village, so let's let Zhang Guo go back, I will accompany you, I just want to ask you if I have something. ”

He persuaded Zhang Guo to retreat, and with a wave of his fan, an invisible force enveloped Mei Zhenyi. In the blink of an eye, the two of them flew into the sky side by side. This time the flying sky is different from the last time, it is no longer a hazy and you can't see anything, the white clouds around you float by, and you look down at the clear and clear water fields of the far and near rivers. Mei Zhenyi felt very mysterious, and her body seemed to be down-to-earth, but her body slowly flew forward in the air with Zhong Liquan.

Mei Zhenyi bowed down and asked, "Master Zhongli, take me to heaven and say that you have something to ask, what are your orders?"

Zhong Liquan: "Boy. Finally willing to call me Master? This is not heavenly. It's just a cloud in mid-air, I ask you. What have you been doing all this time?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Practice at night and practice swords during the day." ”

Zhong Liquan snorted and said lightly: "The swordsmanship practice is not bad, but the good cabbage has made the pig arch!"

Mei Zhenyi: "Disciple is ashamed, it turns out that you always see my every move. ”

Zhong Liquan: "Except for the New Year, I have been observing you in the mountains for the rest of the day, and I heard that you have two treasures, take them out for me to see." ”

Mei Zhenyi took out the short blade from the boot and handed it over: "This sword was taken by the Tang Dynasty soldiers from the hands of the Turkic witches on the battlefield, some people speculate that this is the legendary Kunwu sword, Master, can you take a look?"

Zhong Liquan took the sword and looked at it, and then gave it back to him: "Yes, it is the Kunwu sword, the most powerful weapon in the world, it is really a good treasure, and even I can't find its wonderful use if I don't hold it in my hand, you put it away." ”

Mei Zhenyi rolled up his sleeves again and said: "There are also these bracers, which were given to me by General Mei Yi from the Mei family, and it is said that they were once the property of Du Fuwei, the king of Wu, I don't know what its name is." ”

Zhong Liquan was stunned as soon as he saw the bracers, his expression was indescribably weird, he stretched out his hand and touched it for a long time, and suddenly laughed, and the clouds around him who were laughing were scattered. Mei Zhenyi was inexplicably laughed by him, and finally waited for Zhong Liquan to stop laughing before asking, "Why is Master laughing, a pair of bracers can make you smile like this?"

Zhong Liquan: "Do you know what this thing is? It took me a long time to recognize it, its origin is not simple, it was originally worn on the hooves of animals." ”

What is the origin of that bracer? Mei Yi didn't know that Zhong Liquan could recognize it, this thing was originally owned by Taiyi Zhenren, and was worn on the two front hooves of his mount, the Nine Lions, to prevent it from running around and trampling on the flowers and plants in the cave. Later, the nine lions slipped out of the nether realm of the cave as demons, and this pair of hoof rings was also lost in the world, and they didn't want to fall into the hands of Wu Wang Du Fuwei, and they were also used as a pair of bracers.

After saying that, Zhong Liquan smiled again: "Boy, do you also treat yourself as a beast?

Mei Zhenyi also felt surprised and wanted to laugh, but she didn't take off the bracers, she thought about it and asked, "Isn't the lion wearing a bracer on its front hooves?"
