Mu Zhou asked: "Were they the intruders last night? How many people did you kill?"
"……one."
Mu Zhou smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, and said something meaningless, "Brother Li, do you still remember what I said when I taught you the sword technique?"
Li Sui'an thought for a long time, "Which sentence?"
"'I hope you can use this knife skills to save more people in need,' and Brother Li's response at the time was also very interesting."
Li Sui'an didn't know what was going on, "Is this necessarily related to Daogang's mutation?"
Mu Zhou finally had time to say: "I believe Brother Li has noticed something. You are amazingly talented in the art of swordsmanship. You can learn the basic swordsmanship skills as soon as you practice them, and you can become perfect as soon as you practice them. In a short period of time, you have achieved the desired level of practice. However, when you cut
Yue Dao Gang is making slow progress."
Li Sui'an asked, "How do I have any talent for swordsmanship?"
He didn't want to admit what Mu Zhou said, but it was the truth.
The reason why he now focuses on basic sword techniques when practicing swordsmanship is because his proficiency in the Zangetsu sword technique increases slowly. In fact, at the beginning, he worked much more on the latter than the basic sword techniques.
In the past, I only thought that advanced knife skills would be so time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Now it sounds like that's not entirely the case.
Just listen to Mu Zhou continue to say: "This is still the early stage, Zhanyue Dao Gang becomes more and more difficult to practice as you go to the later stage. Do you know the fastest way to practice Zhan Yue Dao Gang?"
"Isn't it a step-by-step process?"
"It's murder."
Li Sui'an was speechless.
"After a person dies, the body's Qi does not dissipate immediately, but disintegrates into the body of Qi and blood. It will disappear between heaven and earth as time goes by. Zangyue Sword Technique has a unique characteristic, which can make people...
The energy and blood before death temper the sword. The more people you kill, the stronger the sword becomes. If you can't resist the temptation, you may become a murderer in the future."
"However……"
Mu Zhou wanted to speak but stopped.
"But what?" Li Sui'an asked impatiently.
I hate the Riddler the most.
"You will kill many people in the future. However, when you rely on killing people to push Dao Gang to great success, you will not be far away from death."
Li Sui'an felt a little angry, "Is there a fatal flaw in the sword technique?"
"No! Someone will come to claim your life. He will devour your Dao Gang and make your Dao Gang a part of his Dao Gang, eventually making him a stronger person."
"who?"
Mu Zhou looked melancholy, "He is my master, known as Yuesou."
"Yuesou... Yuesou?"
Isn’t this a furnace? Fatten it and then slaughter it? How about raising pigs and leaving them here?
Li Sui'an felt a little pained. The name "Yue Lao" was totally inconsistent with him. Shouldn't he be called Sword Demon or something like that?
"So you came to the Northland to escape for your life?"
"Yes and no."
"How strong is your master?"
"It's very strong, so strong that I can't guess. I'm just one of his many disciples. I know what you're thinking. I didn't come to Beidi because I wanted to avoid Master. Master doesn't restrict his disciples.
Freedom does not prohibit the leakage of sword skills. If you meet a good talent, you will even take the initiative to send sword skills. But as long as you use this sword skill and achieve the great achievement of sword power by killing people, he will sense it. Then travel thousands of miles,
Find you. No matter where you are hiding, he will come to your door and hack you to death."
"Back then, I had no choice but to take the initiative to become a disciple of Master. My sword skills were not very good, and I had to work hard to be granted this sword skill."
"Brother Li, don't worry, if you just use the Zangetsu Sword technique to kill demons, evil spirits, and monsters, you will be fine. The power of the Zangetsu Sword is definitely worth the money. And you have only killed one person.
, over time, through repeated tempering with one's own energy, when the sword's strength exceeds the current level again, the blood color will naturally fade away."
Li Sui'an was skeptical of Mu Zhou's remarks.
But after learning that it could be resolved, I felt relieved.
"Brother Mu, you really should have told me earlier?"
When Mu Zhou heard his complaint, he smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, I wanted to sell knives instead of sword skills. It was you who asked you to learn sword skills. And if you don't experience it yourself, no matter how much I say, you may not believe it.
. In case you are a person with a weak will, if I tell you in advance, it will make you take the initiative to go astray. I am afraid that it will be difficult to return after the introduction, and it is really my fault."
After hearing this explanation, Li Sui'an's depression was mostly gone, "Yes! My cleverness was misled by my cleverness, so I won't have to kill people with a sword in the future."
"I hope so. Although I didn't see that person last night with my own eyes, I could feel his surging energy from a distance, and he must be at the peak of body tempering. His strength is far beyond yours, but you used the Zangetsu Sword to
Gang, the weak defeated the strong and killed him easily. I wonder how many warriors in the world can resist the temptation of rapidly improving the Zhanyue Sword Gang with such a powerful sword skill in hand."
Li Sui'an looked serious, "You are right. The Zhanyue Dao Gang is indeed extremely powerful and has helped me a lot. If I am in a different place, if I am in danger and urgently need to increase my strength to save myself, I may not be able to control myself.
Go kill people to increase the power of the sword."
In last night's battle, the biggest contributor was naturally the instant escape, and he had no excuse.
After all, if you spend money to buy such swordsmanship, you will naturally make a lot of money. If you continue to act like you are unwilling to give up, it will be a bit ungrateful.
"As long as you can understand. Brother Li, if you have time, you might as well read more Buddhist scriptures and Taoist books."
"Buddhist scriptures or Taoist books? Okay, I've written them down."
…
When he returned home, Li Sui'an had a bronze token in his hand.
The token is engraved with a ghost head emblem.
[Edict to deliver the message. Identity: Ghost. Merit value: thirty-five.]
Ghost error?
After hurriedly disposing of the body last night, we found something like this from the man in black.
Looking left and right, I couldn't figure out which organization's token it was.
But since this object can produce text bubbles, it must be a magical weapon.
He thought of the strange movement and martial arts skills of the man last night, and his inheritance should not be weak.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
He turned over his hand and put the bronze token into the empty nest, calmed down and continued practicing.
A sudden encounter with a gangster last night made the atmosphere in the house tense.
Fu Qingnian no longer had the excitement of winning the championship at the previous wine tasting. After finishing his work, he found Li Sui'an who was practicing swordsmanship.
"Lin Qing is leaving?"
"Yes. He has passed the recruitment assessment of the Night Watch. As long as his military merit is sufficient, he can become a regular member."
After Li Sui'an understood the situation, it was difficult to persuade him to stay. After all, the other party wanted to pursue his own martial arts.
Moreover, he can open the road to "the end of the universe". As a civil servant, there is nothing comparable to a small security guard in a restaurant.
Before leaving, Li Sui'an personally presented him with a hundred taels of silver as a thank you for his contribution to the Li family over the years.
"When we meet in the future, I might as well call you Mr. Lin."
Lin Qing felt very guilty because now was the time when Ruyifang needed manpower the most, yet he offered to bid farewell.
"My boss, please don't treat me badly. I have been well taken care of in Ruyifang these years. If my boss needs anything in the future, just come to Lin."
Li Sui'an didn't take it seriously, he just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Once you enter the Lantern Department, work hard and come back for a drink when you have time."
A few days later, a night watchman with a lantern holder suddenly came to summon him. It turned out to be Xiaoqi Song Yan, a former acquaintance.
"Your Majesty the Governor has invited us. Shopkeeper Li, please come with us."
When Li Sui'an saw him, he just pretended that he didn't know him.
Don't use Xiaoqi to disqualify yourself as an official. After all, you are still in the seventh rank.
"Sir, wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes."
"No, let's go now. Your Excellency is waiting for you."
"Then let's go."
Climb into the night watchman's carriage and speed along.
Passers-by and horses gave way.
Although the Lion Rock is right outside his back door and can be seen from the backyard window, he has never been there once.
The carriage went straight to Lion Rock.
There is a group of ancient buildings on the mountain, with a majestic tower in the middle.
The Lantern Division occupies the most scenic spot in the city. To the east, you can overlook the whole city, and to the west, you can see the bustling port, with scores of sailboats coming and going in an endless stream.
Go inside, a dragon fish suit of water.
The official uniform of the night watchman is known as the most handsome official uniform in fighting, just like the uniform of the Japanese army.
They use color lapels to distinguish grades, iron gray small flag, copper color general flag, silver gray for hundreds of households, gold thread for thousands of households. Above the thousand households, there are dragon fish uniforms of different colors.
After walking around for a while, we arrived at the main hall, where a middle-aged man wearing a cloud-patterned cloak was waiting.
Moiré.
Be obedient, the governor of the town, the local leader of the lamp-carrying department.
"Sir, Li Sui'an has been brought here."
Li Sui'an followed suit, bowed and knelt down on one knee, "Li Sui'an, a common man, see you, sir."
"You go first."
"yes."
Song Yan stepped back respectfully and turned around to leave when he reached the door.
"Get up. Shopkeeper Li, please feel free to sit down."
"Thank you, sir."
This governor does not look like a high-ranking official with great power, but like a libertine from an aristocratic family who knows everything about the world. His every move is calm and calm, as if he doesn't care about anything in the world.
