Chapter 158

Li Mu was also startled by the sharpness of the sword, but when he heard Dugu Jiu's exclamation, he quickly put away his surprised expression. When he turned around, he had a calm expression of "Ki Cao Wu 6". It seemed even more mysterious when he fell into Dugu Jiu's eyes.

Li Mu bounced his fingers and the sword immediately made a crisp buzzing sound, the sound was as clear as gold and stone.

"This sword contains meteorite iron, which was originally considered a sword embryo, but after my forging, it has played out the characteristics of meteorite iron. Now it has become a sharp and fierce, invincible, and sharp iron like mud! Since it has been reborn, it is not appropriate to call the original name. You can give it a new name."

Dugu Jiu hurriedly said, "It's the eldest brother who gave this sword a new life, so let's take it."

"Um..." Li Mu did not shy away, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since you and I have become brothers, I won't hide it from you. Although I don't know martial arts, I am a weapon master. In the process of studying forging weapons, I also have some experiences about various weapons. In my opinion, swords are not as big as other weapons. Swordsman, moves are very important. But if you are too immersed in moves, it is invisible to build barriers for yourself, and it is even more difficult to go further. If your brother is not wrong, you are now in this situation. Your martial arts have not improved for a long time, right?"

Dugu Jiu didn't expect that Li Mu still knew martial arts, and he explained his crux of the problem in one sentence, and hurriedly said: "What my brother said is very true. Half a year ago, my swordsmanship stopped moving forward!"

Li Mu took the beef jerky handed over by Li Chongyi and stuffed it into his mouth to replenish his physical strength. While chewing, he said, "You still haven't understood the true meaning of swordsmanship. What is the most important thing when fighting against others? Is it the elegance of moves? No! Fighting against others is the most important thing when defeating opponents! How to defeat opponents quickly and effortlessly is the key to swordsmanship. When you beginners, it is right to learn moves. But think carefully, if you learn moves, others will also learn moves. You recognize the moves and know how to break the moves. When you use your moves, others will also know how to break the moves. In this way, how can you beat others?"

Dugu Jiuchong pointed at the key point and said, "Brother is right, so I have been working hard to make my moves faster. As long as I move faster than my opponent, I will win!"

"The idea is good, but it won't take you further."

Li Mu handed the sword to Dugu Jiu and said, "You can be fast, your opponent can be fast. As long as you make a move, you will have flaws when you think of the moves. If you want to have no flaws, you can only forget the moves, focus on the opponent's weaknesses, and fight hard. If you can see through his moves, he can't see your moves. Only by winning no moves can you be invincible."

Dugu Jiu said ignorantly: "But such an offense, how to defend?"

"If you can see through your opponent's moves, take advantage of the opportunity to enter, and then come first. The moves are all attacks, and you have to defend when attacking the enemy, so of course you don't have to defend yourself." As he said that, Li Mu pointed to the bored Li Chongyi next to him and said, "Tell me, what moves did you use when you swung the big axe that day? What do you feel?"

Dugu Jiu recalled the situation at that time, and his spine was still a little chilling. At that time, he felt like three words, and he was about to die. His eyes were covered by the shadow of axe that was coming to his face, and it was pitch black that could not escape.

Dugu Jiu seemed to understand what Li Mu meant and said, "I understand. Brother, is it that I want me to learn from the big guy?"

"Yes, right?" Li Mu smiled and said, "You are different from the big guy. He is born with divine power. He has never learned martial arts. Any moves he uses are just instinct and there is no trick at all. But with the blessing of his natural divine power, you can't defend or defend every move. Therefore, every move he attacks is a killer move. No one is his opponent within the range of the giant axe. Although you don't have divine power, you can still learn from your experience. As long as you can attack instead of defending, no move is better than moves, and with your sharp blade that cuts iron like mud, your swordsmanship will definitely be more diligent."

After Li Mu said, he said, "In order to better understand the essence of no moves, I named this sword 'Wu Ming'. The sword is not famous, and the move is invisible. Understand it well and break through the current realm, and it is just around the corner."

"Sword Wuming, move Wuying..." Dugu Jiu murmured, as if he was crazy.

Li Mu sighed and thanked Mr. Jin. If he hadn't seen the God of Condor Heroes, where did this passage of Yunshan and mist come from? Suddenly, a very interesting idea came up with Li Mu. Dugu Qiubai's surname is Dugu. Could it be that Dugu Jiu is Dugu Qiubai, and Dugu Jiujian came from his name, right?

After knocking for a while, Li Mu was tired. He asked Li Chongyi to send the stupid Dugu Jiu back to rest. Li Mu packed up his tools and went back to the backyard. He ordered the maid to boil water and take a shower, hugged his beautiful wife and concubine to sleep, and passed by beautifully all night.

The next morning, Li Mu did not sleep in again. Because according to the agreement, today was the time for the first batch of shareholders to pay the subscription fee. Li Mu agreed to be at the Ministry of Works. When the new official office of the Ministry of Works, Li Mu also built a huge cellar, claiming that it was for ice storage.

There was no refrigerator in ancient times. In summer, I wanted to use ice, so I could only store it in winter. Dig a huge cellar and cut ice from the river to transport it in. As long as the ice cubes are large enough and the amount is large, it can be kept for use in summer. Not only the Ministry of Works, but also the major mansions in Chang'an City, there are ice cellars. Li Mu's Zhulu Hou Mansion also has a small size.

At that time, Li Mu made this request, but did not attract attention. He only thought it was a benefit for Li Mu to be kind to the officials of the Ministry of Industry. However, during the construction, Li Mu instructed Yuwengui to expand the scale of the cellar, and the materials were extremely luxurious. A foot thick bluestone was used as a wall, a foundation with water shaking sand, and a glutinous rice mixed with stone powder. After solidification, it was as solid as a rock, and its strength was stronger than that of later concrete. If it was just used as an ice cellar, it would not be necessary. However, Li Mu insisted on this, and Yuwengui did not dare to say anything. Anyway, he did not pay the money, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Until today, Yu Wengui looked at the long queue of "money car" at the entrance of the industrial department and understood the meaning of Li Mu's "ice cellar". He was shocked. He could not think about it. Could it be that Li Mu had today a few months ago? If this is true, it would be too scary!

Before Li Mu arrived, no one dared to act rashly. They all looked at the door of the house, hoping that Li Mu would come sooner. Finally, the three Li Mu brothers came over on horseback. Yu Wengui quickly came forward and greeted him as soon as he was far away.

Li Mu got off the horse and said with a smile: "Dr. Yuwen, there is no need to be polite. Now I am no longer from the Ministry of Works. I just borrowed the ice cellar of the Ministry of Works. If you are so polite, I will blush."

Yuwengui quickly said, "Where did the Marquis say? The whole workshop was built by you. Without you, there would be no today in the Ministry of Works. At that time, you are the backbone of the Ministry of Works. Only the Marquis will follow the leader of the Ministry of Works."

Li Mu pretended to be unhappy and said, "Hey! That's wrong. Where did you place Li Shangshu?"

Yuwengui smiled and said, "This is what Lord Shangshu said. As a subordinate, we should obey it."

Li Mu laughed out loud.

While we were greeting, we soon arrived at the entrance of the ice cellar. This ice cellar was called an ice cellar, but anyone who saw it could tell that it was selling dog meat with a sheep's head. The thing in front of us did not look like an ice cellar. I saw that this building was mostly underground, with only four walls about half a person high on the ground, with no windows on the ground. The top of the cellar was a herringbone-shaped ridge and double slope, which was also made of bluestone, and the interior was arched, very much like a city gate buried underground.

There is only one entrance and exit, and this entrance and exit also has a mechanism made of a whole stone slab. What should an ordinary ice cellar do if it is a mechanism comparable to a tomb chamber?

Faced with the curiosity of the people, Li Mu had no explanation at all. When building this ice cellar, he was still the Minister of Works, and he paid for it himself. If you have money, can you be happy?

Without further ado, Li Mu sat behind the table Yuwengui had prepared, raised a charcoal basin, dispelled the chill, and began to collect money into the warehouse! All the officials of the Ministry of Industry, no matter which department they belonged to, were recruited to serve as strong men. Three people, one group, one accounted, two counted, replaced them. They were divided into five groups and started work at the same time.

From time to time, you can hear the sound of disputes.

"This string of money is not good, it's not all Kaiyuan Tongbao, and it's mixed with Wuzhu coins. Is it possible to succeed!"

"Why can't it be? You can have the same flowers in the West City..."

"If you say it, you won't succeed. The rules set by the Marquis, I will obey the orders. You either change it or talk to the Marquis, and you can't tell us!"

Another group next to it.

"These silver will be discounted by 13%."

"Why is it discount? Tell you, I am from Duke Shen's mansion!"

"No matter which mansion is, your money is not good enough. You can only discount the price. I will obey orders. Either you exchange it or you will talk to the marquis!"

The disputes were heard all the time. But Li Mu didn't care at all. He had to pay the money in full. Otherwise, who would make up for the deficit and let him make up for it? Even if he had money, he could not be the sucker!

Under the nitpicking of the officials of the Ministry of Works, many people failed to get the money. They wanted to make peace and even bribe money. Under Li Mu's nose, who dared to accept bribes. Helplessly, if there was a problem, they had to go back to their house to exchange it. It is impossible to withdraw the shares. This part of the loss is another lot of money.
