Time passed, and two years passed imperceptibly.

After two years of painstaking cultivation, Zhang Ming's strength has reached 8,000 catties, which is not far from the strength of 10,000 catties of first-class martial artists.

Zhang Ming is different from ordinary second-rate martial artists, he has no internal strength in his body. All the internal energy channeled by Tuna is used to temper qi, blood, muscles and bones, and strengthen the internal organs.

Zhang Ming now has pure blood and internal organs, less impurities, more vitality in the muscles and bones, strong endurance, carrying a thousand catties of boulders, running in the mountains for two days and two nights, he will feel tired, which shows that his physical strength is strong, and he has reached the extreme of the human body.

"Ming Gongzi, is Ming Gongzi at home?" a swarthy man shouted outside the house with a brand-new green steel sword.

Seeing Zhang Ming walk out, the swarthy man smiled and said, "Master Ming, the sword you want has already been built." ”

Qiang.

Zhang Ming took the green steel sword, pulled out the long sword, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this green steel sword is of high quality." ”

There was a hint of pride in the swarthy man's eyes: "My Lao Li relies on iron-striking skills to eat, if a green steel sword can't be built well, isn't this a slap in my Lao Li's face." How can my blacksmith shop have business after that?"

"I'll give you the money. Zhang Ming went back to the house and took the silver and handed it to the blacksmith Lao Li, "Twenty-five taels of silver, you can click on it." ”

Lao Li smiled honestly and said: "No need to order, can't my Lao Li still trust you, Gongzi Ming?"

..................

Zhang Ming's boxing technique has been superb, and he can achieve the strength of the heart to the fist, in the words of the martial artist, he is already in the realm of the grandmaster of the unity of god and form.

Zhang Ming decided to cultivate weapons.

The weapon used by the scholar is, of course, the long sword the first choice.

Zhang Ming doesn't have a sword spectrum, but the basic swordsmanship is not difficult to find, and if he cultivates the basic swordsmanship to a profound realm, it may not be as good as those advanced swordsmanship.

After cultivating basic swordsmanship, there is another advantage, that is, in the future, you will have exquisite swordsmanship cheats, and you will be able to learn them quickly and integrate them. Because no matter how advanced and subtle the swordsmanship is, it is evolved from the basic swordsmanship.

The long sword swung slowly in Zhang Ming's hand, and the blade cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

"Weapons, the extension of hands and feet. If you want to get started with swordsmanship, you must reach the tip of the sword, so that the long sword has a keen sense of touch like skin. ”

When the long sword becomes an extension of the hands and feet, it is the realm of the unity of man and sword.

Zhang Ming has a solid foundation in martial arts, and his first sword practice quickly reached the realm of lifting as if it were heavy. This realm has not been reached by many first-class martial artists. The long sword weighing dozens of catties was slowly waved in Zhang Ming's hand, and it hit an attack force of almost tens of thousands of catties, which was terrifying when you thought about it.

In the afternoon, Zhang Ming prepared to go into the mountains to hunt, and now that he could enter the depths of the mountains, the threat to him from those large beasts was minimal. Because of this, Zhang Ming can eat and drink without worry, and he can save some spare money.

Before he could go out, the village chief came to him.

"Village Chief, why are you here, is there anything wrong?" asked Zhang Ming. The village chief rarely comes to the house, and this time he came, something must have happened in the village.

Zhang Ming is a talent, coupled with his strong martial arts, half of the income from hunting is given to the village to improve the lives of the children, so Zhang Ming's prestige in the village is much higher than that of the village chief.

The village chief said with a sad face: "Zhang Ming, your child grew up with an old man, and he has been kind-hearted since he was a child. ”

Children are the hope of the village, and they are most valued, whether they are reading and reading or practicing martial arts, as long as there is a way, they must do it for them.

Children don't want to be famous, but at least they must be literate, otherwise even if they have a subtle martial arts cheats in front of them, they don't know it, which is unforgivable.

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Village Chief, how do you say this?" Didn't the village invite an old master?"

The village chief sighed and said, "The old master is sick, and he has returned to his hometown yesterday. The conditions in the village are poor, and we can't afford much money, so ordinary masters will not come to our village, and it is really not easy to find a master in the poor countryside. The old man thought for a while, Zhang Ming, you are the most learned person in our village, or let you come to study with your children. ”

Zhang Ming thought about it for a while and felt that it was not good for the children to be taught to read. After reading and reasoning, it is very important to learn martial arts, and Zhang Ming has experienced it himself.

If you want to be successful, you must study.

"Good. I promised, I will definitely teach the children well. However, the village chief also has to ask for a master, because in another year, I will have to take the prefectural examination in Anxi Province, and I am afraid that I will not have time to teach at that time. Zhang Ming said.

Seeing Zhang Ming agree, the village chief said happily: "This is natural, and it will definitely not delay your house test." If you can get into the middle school, there will be a man in the village, and we will have a light on our faces. ”

..................

Since then, in addition to reading, practicing martial arts, and hunting, Zhang Ming has one more job and becomes the master of the village, teaching children to read. He even occasionally instructed the children in martial arts.

Zhang Ming taught according to his aptitude, and under his teaching, the children's knowledge and martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds.

Do learning, review the old and learn the new.

Zhang Ming was very cautious because he wanted to teach children, for fear of misleading people's children, and the knowledge he taught was strictly in accordance with the words of the sages, so that he himself had improved a lot in learning.

A gentleman carries things with virtue.

Now Zhang Ming is very stable in his work and practice, without the slightest impetuous atmosphere of young people, and his temperament is as thick as a mountain.

Gradually, Zhang Ming integrated learning and martial arts into his life, and truly achieved the "unity of knowledge and action".

The strength of his heart makes Zhang Ming's martial arts even more sophisticated.

Before you know it, another three months have passed. Zhang Ming's strength reached 10,000 catties, and he officially stepped into the ranks of first-class martial artists.

became a first-class martial artist, Zhang Ming did not have much joy, but looked indifferent.

"It's full of power. ”

Don't be sad or happy, cultivate with peace of mind, keep moving forward on the right path, and become a first-class martial artist, it's just a matter of course, and there is nothing to rejoice in.

"Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world in ancient times should rule their country first, and those who want to rule their country should first gather their families, and those who want to unify their families should first cultivate their bodies, and those who want to cultivate their bodies should first correct their hearts...... The practice of martial arts is the same, you must be right. If the heart is not right, nothing can be accomplished. The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the village, and Zhang Ming, who was in class, had a bad premonition and said to the children: "Today's class is here and school, but don't go out for the time being, just read in the seat." ”

Zhang Ming came to the entrance of the village to take a look, and the village chief and Jiang Kui confronted the young men in the village with more than 20 men on horseback. These men were dressed in sackcloth and carried all kinds of weapons on their backs, and they were obviously not from the imperial court.

"Bandits. Zhang Ming was shocked.

When the people in the village saw Zhang Ming come out, they immediately gave way to a road, after all, Zhang Ming was the number one master in the village, and when he was there, Jiang Kui and the village chief had confidence.

These more than 20 bandits are not weak in martial arts, and there are five third-rate martial artists, and the men at the head are even second-rate martial artists.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you are doing in our village? Zhang Ming clenched his fists and smiled.

The man at the head laughed loudly: "You kid is white and pure, his aura is extraordinary, and he is a scholar." ”

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "The kid is the master of the village, teaching the children to read. ”

"Haha, the reader is good, the reader is reasonable. The man at the head said with a smile, "The first time our brother came to Anxi Mansion, he begged for a life within a radius of 100 miles, and in your village, each person can enjoy a year's peace by paying one or two taels of silver every year, otherwise ......"

As he spoke, the man at the head had a murderous look in his eyes. As long as they don't give money, these bandits will kill people.

Zhang Ming frowned, one tael of silver per person, wouldn't the village have to hand over hundreds of taels of silver? A few hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, enough for the children in the village to eat and drink for more than half a year.

"What, you don't want to?" said the man at the head of the group.

Zhang Ming smiled: "No, no, we paid a few hundred taels of silver." ”

Zhang Ming said to the village chief again: "Village chief, all the heroes are just asking for money, since this is the case, take the money." ”

The village chief sighed: "Okay. ”

The situation is stronger than people, and you can't do it without paying.

After the thieves collected the money, they laughed and rode away: "You guys are very good, our brother will come to collect the money next year, haha." ”

It wasn't until the bandits disappeared at the end of the road that the people of the village showed unwilling expressions. Hundreds of taels of silver, almost half of the annual income of the entire village.

"Ming Gongzi, just let them take the silver and leave?" Jiang Kui said angrily, "Damn, you have to come every year, so how can we live in our village? Isn't it that the money saved every year is used to support this gang of bandits and bandits." ”

Zhang Ming's face was flat, and he said: "Master Jiang, you are right, our village can afford a few hundred taels of silver, but if you have to attach it to us every year to suck blood, it will definitely not work." There are more than a few bandits, and although I can kill them, it will bring great trouble and even disaster to the village. So I'm going to follow them and find their lair. If possible, we will hunt them all down and get rid of them forever. ”

Zhang Ming had a killing machine in his heart, these bandits are strong and strong, and they have martial arts, even if they go to the coolies, they can eat their stomachs. But they actually relied on their high force to oppress the people, which is really damned.

Jiang Kui looked at Zhang Ming in shock and asked, "Young Master Ming, you are already a first-class martial artist?"

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "I just had the power of ten thousand catties a few days ago. ”

To become a first-class martial artist, there is nothing to hide.

Jiang Kui knew that he had underestimated Zhang Ming's talent, Zhang Ming had only been practicing martial arts for more than two years, and he had become a first-class martial artist, which made them those who practiced martial arts dozens of abilities and worthy of being a third-rate martial artist.

No wonder he dared to go to the bandit's lair, it turned out to be a first-class martial artist. Jiang Kui looked at Zhang Ming with envy on his face.

The village chief said: "Zhang Ming, you must pay attention to safety, if you can't do anything, just come back." ”

Zhang Ming said: "Village chief, don't worry, I won't let myself be in danger." ”

Back in the house, Zhang Ming changed into a black power suit, put on a mask, picked up the green steel sword, and quickly chased after the bandits.
