The Counterattack of the Villains

Although Li Mu was not really that drunk during the whole performance, he actually fell asleep directly after being helped to bed by Ruan Xiong and Wang Tiejiang.

The two brothers, who were in high spirits, returned to the table and continued drinking.

When the two of them talked about Li Mu's swordsmanship, they were both filled with admiration.

Although Blacksmith Wang is just a blacksmith, he has also learned several hand-holding techniques. With his arm strength, he can easily beat ten or eight rogues with his bare hands.

If you have a knife in your hand, your combat effectiveness will be doubled, and you can perform dozens of moves with Ruan Xiong.

But Li Mu's swordsmanship really exceeded their imagination.

Their world is not big, and they have not seen many excellent martial arts. It is estimated that Li Mu's swordsmanship should be the best in the world.

In the future, if my daughter follows Li Mu, she will be able to learn this superb swordsmanship, and my son will probably be able to learn it too.

In this way, sooner or later the Ruan family will become a martial arts family with a place in the world.

Ruan Xiong became extremely excited when he thought of this, and eventually became extremely drunk.

Knowing that her officials were happy, Mrs. Ruan didn't mind and did her best to help Ruan Xiong sleep.

Blacksmith Wang was also very drunk. When he left, Mrs. Ruan gave him five kilograms of Langyatai to take away.

When Li Mu woke up the next morning, the apprentices had already started training.

Fourteen young people have also arrived. They don't know Li Mu's situation at this time, and they are not sure whether they are coming for Ruan Xingzhu as they thought.

So I'll calm down for the time being and practice sword practice as usual.

After getting up, Li Mu found that the wooden basin on the washstand had been filled with light water, and there was a clean washcloth on the stand.

A relatively primitive toothbrush for cleaning teeth is placed on the wooden shelf.

This toothbrush has a bamboo handle, the hair is boar bristles or horsetail hair, and the toothpaste has the same effect as soap locust juice.

Although the comfort and taste are not as good as those of later generations of toothpastes and toothbrushes, the effect is not any worse.

This condition is pretty good, and it is better than using willow branches and green salt to clean teeth before the Tang and Song Dynasties.

After washing, Li Mu pushed the door open and walked out. The teenagers practicing martial arts looked at him subconsciously and then went about their own business.

When Ruan Xiong saw Li Mu going out, he came over with a smile and said, "Did you sleep well last night, Master?"

Li Mu cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "Thank you for your concern, senior. I slept well."

After speaking, he said with a cautious look: "Senior drank a little too much last night, wasn't that rude?"

Ruan Xiong was shocked when he saw this, he was drunk.

Although there is no word fragment in this era, it still means that.

He chuckled and said, "No, no, the young master drinks very well and is not drunk crazy."

Li Mu looked relieved and said, "That's good."

But Ruan Xiong turned around, faced Li Mu sideways, and whispered softly: "Meeting you for the first time is like an old friend returning home. The love does not know where it started. It goes deeper and deeper. Good sentence, good sentence."

Li Mu heard the words and praised them: "It is indeed a good sentence. It explains the four words 'love at first sight' vividly. I'm just sorry that I am ignorant, but I don't know where this sentence comes from?"

Ruan Xiong turned his head and looked at him teasingly, and said: "This sentence comes from here, from the mouth of a good young master with both civil and military talents."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and a look of astonishment gradually appeared on his face. He silently pointed at himself and looked at Ruan Xiong.

"Hahaha..." Seeing his reaction, Ruan Xiong finally couldn't help laughing, patted his shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the young master has such literary talent."

Li Mu, who was originally bold and generous, became a little embarrassed when he heard what he said, and said with a stunned expression: "This... junior Meng Lang, I hope senior will forgive me."

Ruan Xiong's smile became even thicker and he said meaningfully: "It's okay for young people to be a bit more aggressive. The key is that when you say something, you need to be responsible."

Li Mu said sternly: "Although this junior is not talented, he is also a courageous person. Even if it is a drunken remark, he will never deny it."

Ruan Xiong praised: "Well said, this is the behavior of a man."

After saying that, he asked with a smile: "In that case, when do you plan to propose marriage to me?"

Li Mu looked at the martial arts apprentices in the courtyard and whispered: "It's better to wait until tonight and let's discuss it in private."

Ruan Xiong suddenly came to his senses. Now was indeed not a good time to talk about this matter, so he nodded and said, "That's fine."

While talking, Ruan Xingzhu walked out of the kitchen holding a tray with a porcelain bowl on it.

Ruan Xingzhu walked up to Li Mu, with a slight smile on his lips, and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Li, have a bowl of hangover soup! Your head won't hurt."

"Okay." Li Mu happily picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp. Then he put the bowl back on the tray and said to Ruan Xiong: "Uncle, I wonder if there is any secluded place around here?"

"Yesterday, when my nephew was at the river beach, he had some new insights into swordsmanship and needed a secluded place to meditate."

Hearing Li Mu's title and self-identification, Ruan Xiongzhong made up his mind and said happily: "There is a bamboo forest more than a hundred feet away from the back of the house. The environment there is quiet and very suitable for meditation. Just let Xingzhu take you there later."

…

The bamboo forest behind Ruan's house is indeed very quiet. The breeze blows and the bamboo forest sways gently and rustles softly.

Li Mu smiled at Ruan Xingzhu who brought him over and said, "You should go back first! Once I have digested this understanding, I will teach you the swordsmanship."

Ruan Xingzhu said happily: "I'll call you again during breakfast."

"good."

Ruan Xingzhu turned around and left. After taking a few steps, she stopped again and did not turn around. She just said, "Brother Li, what you said last night...is it true?"

Li Mu looked at her back, his lips slightly curved, and said: "I probably remember that I practiced swordsmanship last night and promised to pass it on to you. I can't remember exactly what else was said."

"But whether I remember it or not, whether I'm drunk or not, as long as I say it, it must be from the heart and it must be true."

That's enough. After hearing what Li Mu said, Ruan Xingzhu calmed down, turned around and smiled brightly, saying: "I'll go back first."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, saying: "Well, go ahead!"

Ruan Xingzhu left the bamboo forest with brisk steps and headed home.

Looking at her slightly excited back, Li Mu smiled knowingly.

Then he pulled out the long sword and began to think about the method of transforming the Six Meridians Divine Sword into the long sword.

The long sword itself can be used as a carrier of true energy. When fighting against an enemy, injecting true energy into the sword body can not only increase the lethality of the long sword, but also protect the sword body from getting nicked in the exchange.

But it is not that easy to turn the true energy into sword energy and release it. It must require a special method. It does not mean that you can do it if you have deep enough internal strength.

Just like Zhang Wuji, after mastering the Nine Yang Divine Art, his skills are indeed profound, at least in terms of body protection, it is unparalleled.

However, without using the method, he could not exert the power of his internal energy to cause external damage, and he could not even push away a huge boulder.

It wasn't until he learned the Great Shift of the Universe and acquired the method of movement that his inner strength was truly transformed into fighting power, allowing him to easily push away boulders.

In the same way, without the relevant luck skills, it is simply impossible to release sword energy.

The Six Meridians Divine Sword shoots the sword energy directly from the fingers. If you hold the sword and cast it, it is more likely that the sword energy will be shot from the fingers and then hit the sword hilt, destroying the sword hilt.

Therefore, if you want to use the long sword to cast the Six Meridians Divine Sword, you must make appropriate changes to the luck method.
