"What's going on? This dagger has become so light." Xu Zhuchen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled for a moment. She held the dagger in the palm of her hand and tipped it carefully. The dagger was pushed up into the air and floated swaying, but did not fall to the ground for a long time.
"No, you didn't change the weight of the dagger." Xu Zhuchen looked at the dagger that glowed red and said, "No matter what the weight is, a piece of iron or a piece of shortbread, after being thrown from a high altitude, it will fall to the ground at the same speed. The reason why the dagger fell to the ground so slowly is definitely not because of its weight."
This was something she had personally tested. More than ten years ago, on the fourth-floor balcony of Fengheli Yunjiang Pavilion, Shi Song and Han Ling were holding each other's swords, while the other was holding freshly baked plain fruits. Neither one was convinced by the other. Xu Zhuchen walked past them, not knowing what they were arguing about, but he happily gave both of their buttocks a slap. So, the three people opened their mouths wide and witnessed with their own eyes that the fruit and the sword fell into the surging Meichuan River.
When she said this, she suddenly recalled the grand neem flowers that filled the sky and were fixed by Xiao neem in mid-air when they first met. But at that time, Xiao Mei's internal strength was unfathomable, but now only this pitiful amount is left. Xu Zhuchen thought about this and couldn't help but ask: "Azadirachta, did you use your inner strength?"
Xiao Mei saw what she was thinking, took the dagger with a smile, and tapped Xu Zhuchen's eyebrows with his finger: "Why are you grimacing again? It took a lot of effort for me to condense a little bit of internal energy, and there is no way I can use it so lavishly. ." She untied the cloth strips wrapped around the dagger layer by layer, and the cloth strips fell away, revealing the hilt that glowed red.
"This is the same stone as the ring. After injecting internal energy according to the lines of the stone, it will become very light and you can even move it at will." She said, and withdrew her hand, but the dagger did not withdraw with her, but was fierce. He stabbed forward fiercely and nailed it to the window lattice. Xiao Mei raised his hand to retract the dagger again, and while wrapping the cloth strip back to the handle, he continued to explain, "This method will only lose a small part of the internal force absorbed by the stone. In comparison, it consumes less than using internal force to defend objects externally. It is too small and will not cause the stone to break. I don’t know why I didn’t notice this when I used it before, but I discovered it now.”
After wrapping the dagger, Xiao Mei took out his inner strength and said, "I was thinking that we might be able to use this move to catch the coachman by surprise."
After hearing her explanation, Xu Zhuchen felt inexplicably depressed. She quickly removed the cloth strip from the other dagger and poured her inner strength into the stone under Xiao Mei's guidance. Seeing the stone emitting a crystal clear blue cold light, Xu Zhuchen raised his right hand and wanted to hang the dagger, but the dagger did not obey the command at all. Instead, it fell to the ground uncontrollably, making a "dong" sound.
A few friendly greetings in Yuan Gong dialect came from downstairs. Xiao Mei frowned and was about to pick up the fallen dagger, but was stopped by Xu Zhuchen.
I saw her calmly concentrating, interlacing her hands, rotating a few times, and making a gesture in front of herself. In an instant, a burst of internal energy burst out, and the room was immediately swept by snow-white cold air, and the air in the entire room seemed to be frozen into ice. She was serious about it. Seeing Xu Zhuchen raise his finger again, in an instant, the two swords Zhanlu and Xingyun were unsheathed and flew to Xu Zhuchen's side, swirling out a blast of cold air. However, even so, the dagger on the ground remained motionless and out of her control at all.
Xiao Mei was stabbed by her strong internal force and couldn't help but take a step back and grasp the bedpost. She activated the ring on her right hand and used her inner strength to protect her heart. The red sparks barely resisted the coldness that bit into the bone marrow. Xu Zhuchen quickly withdrew his inner strength and withdrew the part of the dagger. Then he pulled out the dagger, took a step forward, and stared at Xiao Mei closely.
"Ah, it's different. These two internal powers are different."
Xiao Mei's "internal force" - perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is an external force turned into his own use - is obviously integrated with the stone and plays a role in controlling the movement of the stone. Xu Zhuchen's internal power came from herself. Even if it was separated and forcibly catalyzed by herself, it would still not have the effect of the internal power in Xiao Mei's hands.
When he was in Zhiyang, what Li Fenglong gave Xiao Mei was the internal energy that Li Fenglong had separated from himself. Therefore, it was normal for Xiao Mei not to notice the "lightness" of the internal energy. But she had clearly used Li Fenglong's internal power condensed with her own, but she didn't realize that these were just two seemingly identical abilities, which made people a little suspicious.
Xu Zhuchen was suspicious of this just because he noticed the difference between the rings on Xiao Mei's hands. As smart as Xiao Mei, how could he not notice it?
"Azadirachta, what exactly are you practicing?"
Seeing Xu Zhuchen's serious expression, Xiao Mei paused for a moment, and before he was about to explain, he heard a rapid knock on the door.
The two quickly grasped the sword. Xu Zhuchen went to open the door. Outside the door was the boy who had been busy.
"You two girls," the boy nodded and bowed with a smile, "I'm really sorry, but our shopkeeper asked you two to go down and talk."
The shopkeeper was a capable man. When he met Xu and Xiao, he didn't say much. He just used the fan in his hand to point at the two beams on the ceiling that were cracked by the frost and the three beams that were shaken by the impact of the dagger. Table in half. Seeing that they understood each other, she turned the fan over again, rolled her eyelids, and stretched out five fingers.
They had no choice but to hand over the money and sign the guarantee letter handed over by the landlady, so they didn't get kicked out.
Xu Zhuchen was really ashamed, so he paid the money, took Xiao Mei and went out. The two of them have lost a lot of money in the past two days, one thing after another. They can only comfort themselves, losing money will avoid disaster, and losing money will avoid disaster.
After leaving the inn, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile helplessly. Riding horses was taboo in the city, and their physical skills were pretty good, so they flew up the wall and rushed to the coachman's address.
Jixiang Hotel is still some distance away from this place. While rushing on the road, Xiao Mei took the initiative to pick up the previous conversation: "Zhu Chen, I do feel that the two 'internal forces' are different, but due to the limitations of my body, I don't feel it clearly." She paused, Then he said, "You know, the exercises I practice have a certain impact on the body, which itself reduces the body's perception. In addition, my own meridians are injured and I cannot move the exercises normally to generate internal force, so it is difficult to distinguish between the two. The difference. I am not the producer of internal force, I am just a container and user."
After she finished speaking, she came close to Xu Zhuchen and raised a smile: "But, with you watching next to me, I'm not afraid that this kind of skill will really backfire one day."
Xu Zhuchen was angry and funny. She looked at Xiao Mei's eyes that were slightly red due to the exercise, and said: "I'm not afraid that you will become a demon heretic. Ah Mei, do you know? The demon in the rumors in the world was borrowed by Li Fenglong The 'Han Ling' who created the campaign, he is my friend, my best friend since childhood." Her voice was a little low, "He was misunderstood as a villain. A major reason is that his internal power is derived from other people's bodies. Take it from our common friend, Shi Song. What about you, Azadirachta? You almost had an epiphany last night, and you have never condensed so much power before. Where did your power come from?"
Xiao Mei clenched her fists in silence, and after a while, she laughed again.
"I guess that my strength comes from all things in the world. This epiphany is probably a gift from nature." Xiao Mei raised his right hand with a hearty smile in his voice. She looked at Xu Zhuchen, stretched out her left hand in front of her, and said word by word, "And this power is given by my best friend, my Zhuchen. No matter which part it is, I will not use it in evil ways." superior."
