"Have you... broken through to the blood-tempering realm?"
Old Meng's words made Lin Yansheng's eyes sharpen instantly.
He looked at the thin old man slumped on the recliner in front of him, his expression wary.
The old man Meng in front of him, who has always been regarded as a good old man in the town, is also a hidden master?
"Hey, you child, I told you not to be nervous. Not to mention that I have been retired for many years. Anyway, I have watched you grow up. I won't harm you. Come on, sit down."
The smile on Old Meng's kind old face was still there. He looked at Lin Yansheng, who looked wary, shook his head, and said helplessly.
"Grandpa Meng, do you have any advice?"
Lin Yansheng nodded when he heard the words, walked back to him, and looked at the person in front of him - although Old Meng's face and figure were still the same, his face that was always amiable to others was quite unfathomable in Lin Yansheng's eyes. means.
He sat down in front of Old Meng without any thought. Anyway, his strength was certainly not comparable to his own, so he might as well sit down obediently.
And besides, everyone runs a medical clinic. They have been neighbors for so many years. Lin Shenyan often came here to play with Old Man Meng when he was a child, and often stole his wine.
It can be said that the relationship between the two parties has always been very good, and Old Meng probably won't do anything to him.
However, it is true that tigers and leopards appear in the deep forests and unicorns hide in the fields. I never expected that in Tai'an Town, besides Qing Yu and Ye Chunyu, there would be such an expert hermit!
Of course, Old Meng was definitely not as tall as Qing Yu, and now that he was getting closer, with the help of the Lingzhu's field of vision, Lin Shengsheng could vaguely sense the details of Old Meng. It was difficult to say how deep his cultivation was, but his The vitality seems to be somewhat disordered...
It was as if...he had been injured in some way.
"Don't be nervous, I just think it's not easy to become a martial arts genius among mortals, so I just have a love for talents." Old Man Meng said with a smile, and the next words confirmed Lin Yansheng's conjecture:
"I suffered a fatal injury in my early years and lived in seclusion here in our Tai'an Town. A few years ago, your master came here and saw how pitiful I was, so he pulled me back from hell. Over the years, old man, I, I have always thought about his kindness, so I just wanted to talk to you."
Lin Yansheng looked hesitant and looked up and down at Old Meng. Old Meng usually seemed less reliable than Qing Yu. What could he teach him?
"You brat! You're not happy about it, are you!" Seeing Lin Shengsheng's appearance, Old Meng laughed angrily, "Don't look at me, old man, I'm not doing well now. When I was young, I almost became a hero. He is a figure of the Lord! This would have been decades ago, and how many people would have begged me to teach him!"
"Almost became a hero? Is it as good as my master?" Lin Shengsheng rolled his eyes, but he was secretly frightened in his heart. He almost became a hero... Come to think of it, the old man Meng in front of him might have been similar to Yun Kun in his prime. Well, with such strength, he is considered a figure in Leixiao Divine Kingdom.
"That's true... but your master is gone. There are still more than ten days before you enter Lei Xiaowu Mansion. Wouldn't it be better if I show you..." Old Meng rubbed his hands. Looking at Lin Yansheng's still hesitant face, he felt a little helpless: "On the day of your election, I happened to be in Zifeng City. Although you won the first place in Zifeng City's election, your foundation is still shallow. Old man, I What? Although my cultivation level is gone, I still have some knowledge after all, and I think it can be of some help to you."
"Then...Okay, Grandpa Meng, what are your plans?" Lin Shengsheng heard this and did not refuse. He also figured it out. Qingyu obviously knew that Old Meng was not a simple person, but she still kept him here. , obviously he was sure that he would not harm himself. In this case, he accepted it generously.
"Hmm...Did Qingyu leave any skills for you?" Old Meng pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Stayed."
"Which way to go?"
"Thunder Element Law, Master said my physique should be a fourth to fifth level lightning element spirit body."
"Thunder attribute spirit body?" Old Man Meng was a little surprised, and then his eyes showed admiration, and he sighed: "Spirit body is extremely rare, even in my Lei Xiaowu Mansion, it is also extremely rare, I didn't expect this kid like you The talent is so amazing.”
"And the thunder spirit body... Our Lei Xiao Wu Mansion respects thunder. When you enter the Lei Xiao Wu Mansion, you will be very advantageous!" Old Man Meng stroked his gray beard, nodded and smiled.
"Well, Lei Xiaowu Mansion is indeed... Wait, Grandpa Meng, were you also a disciple of Lei Xiaowu Mansion before?" Lin Yansheng suddenly realized something.
He noticed that what Old Meng just said was clearly "my Lei Xiaowu Mansion".
"Yes, it's a pity that that happened two hundred years ago. Speaking of which, I can still be regarded as your senior brother, but... well, don't mention it."
Speaking of this, a trace of nostalgia condensed in Old Meng's eyes, but soon, he seemed to think of his old and decrepit body, and the light in his eyes dimmed rapidly.
"Grandpa Meng..."
Lin Yansheng naturally saw the loss of Old Man Meng. Seeing the desolate look of this old man who had always taken good care of him, he naturally felt uncomfortable. His heart was racing and he wanted to offer words of comfort.
"Haha, it's okay, it's all over... Although the spirit body is good, we must not be complacent and slack off. Well, we have the technique... Have you thought of your own weapons?" Fortunately, Old Man Meng adjusted it quickly. He was in a good mood, but he obviously didn't want to say more on this topic, so he changed the topic.
"Well, I want to use a knife."
"Knife? Swords are the most powerful among soldiers. They are used to drink blood on the battlefield. They are not ordinary objects. There are many types of knives. What kind of knife do you want to use?"
"Just use this one!" Lin Yansheng turned his hand, and a long knife appeared in his hand. It was the long knife left by Qing Yu.
How can the clear rain left behind be a common thing? As soon as the knife came out, it immediately reflected a cold light, and a sharp murderous aura penetrated the bone marrow!
"Oh? This knife..." After seeing the style of the knife clearly, Old Meng's eyes suddenly condensed.
This knife is really interesting.
First of all, the blade of this knife is four feet long, but the handle is only about one foot. The total length is close to six feet, which is taller than Lin Shenxian!
There are strips of lavender lines on the blade, like redbud flowers in the field, very beautiful.
Except for the faint purple lines, the entire long knife has no decorations. It is completely white and looks quite simple.
However, Lin Yansheng and Old Man Meng did not really think that this sword was that simple. Judging from the vague murderous aura emanating from this sword, this sword would never be used in Tao Ranxuan's "Biquan". "Under the sword"!
And why is this knife interesting? Because the proportions of its various parts are really weird.
In Lei Xiaoshen's country, knives can be roughly divided into four types, the longest of which is the Mo Dao, which can "kill horses". Although the Mo Dao blade is six feet long, its handle is also four feet long. This is for This allows the user to hold the knife steadily with both hands, preventing the weapon from falling off on the battlefield.
But the handle of Lin's sword is similar to that of an ordinary long sword, so it can obviously only be wielded with one hand.
However, the proportions of Mo Dao are aimed at mortal soldiers. The wrist and grip strength of a warrior cannot be measured by ordinary standards. The sword can be swung with one hand as steadily as a mountain, so this ratio... is still acceptable.
In addition, Qingyu seemed to want Lin Yansheng's sword to go very fast. Although the blade was exaggeratedly long, it was only two inches wide and had a slight curvature.
Generally speaking, the longer the blade, the longer the speed and the greater the power, while the narrower the blade, the faster the swing speed!
Lin Shengxuan's knife has both of these two points!
However, the blade is too long and too narrow, which may cause it to break easily in battle. However, Qingyu dared to give him this knife, thinking that he had enough confidence!
"This knife... is indeed good, but it is not easy to use it well!" Old Man Meng looked at the long knife for a long time and said thoughtfully.
The blade is so narrow and long, it is powerful enough, but it is also extremely difficult to control!
"Forget it... In that case, I will help you become familiar with the use of this knife in these days!"
Old Meng straightened up from the recliner, and a long needle appeared in his hand like magic.
At the same time, his aura completely changed at this time, and a huge pressure of vitality enveloped Lin Shengxin's body!
Under the pressure, Lin Shengsheng's figure suddenly sank.
"Hiss...this kind of pressure is worthy of someone close to the hero..." Lin Shengsheng was secretly surprised. This old man Meng is really not simple. Even if he is seriously injured, he is by no means comparable to the head of the Zhang family.
However, isn't this kind of pressure exactly what he needs! ?
Old Man Meng's training for Lin Yansheng was simple and crude. He kept shooting him with silver needles and asked him to block them with the long knife in his hand. This was an important step for Lin Yansheng to gain the "feel".
Under this kind of training, Lin Yansheng's use of the knife has naturally improved rapidly. Although he does not have any systematic knife skills, after more than ten days, he can already wield it freely.
Soon, there were only five days left before the report day at Lei Xiaowu Mansion. Just when Lin Shengsheng was about to set off, people from the Governor's Mansion approached him.
"Your master has asked Governor Tao to take you to Lei Xiaowu Mansion." This was Tao Yunshen's oral instruction.
Lin Shenyan happily agreed. The night before leaving, he had a meal with Old Man Meng, which was considered farewell.
That night, for the first time, Old Meng took out a few jars of good wine and drank heavily there.
But if you drink too much, you will naturally talk more.
"Haha, you kid is going to Lei Xiaowu Mansion, so you have to practice hard. After all, I have been taking care of you for a while! Don't look back and run back dejected!"
"Since you have a spirit body, and you still need the sun and thunder system skills, then naturally you have to get the best! You must not miss the "Tianxiao Thunder Technique" of my Leixiaowu Mansion! That is the founding emperor of our Leixiao Divine Kingdom. The supreme scripture written by him!"
It has to be said that Old Man Meng may not have anyone who can understand his pain on weekdays. There are many things in his heart. Today, he is not as kind and peaceful as usual. His words are very wild, as if he wants to suppress the things in his heart. , spit it out all in one breath.
After three rounds of drinking, Old Meng began to lose control of his mouth and told some of his past events:
"I think that when I was young, Meng Sui was also considered a genius. Even in the Lei Xiaowu Mansion where the geniuses gather, I still have a place and a bright future!"
"After graduation, I practiced again and again and went through a lot of hardships before I reached the point where I was close to being a hero... It's a pity..."
Having said this, Old Meng banged the table violently and grabbed Lin Yansheng's shoulders, looking like a madman: "A secret realm... just an adventure! That damn 'Spiritual Breath Ruins'! When I was at my peak, it brought me The most fatal injury! From then on...sigh...I...my martial arts path is gone, all gone!"
Lin Shengsheng did not drink, but silently listened to Old Man Meng's confession. These confessions may have been buried in the heart of this old man who is now silent and declining, but also has a glorious past, so that he is willing to be with him. A junior said.
After Old Meng fell asleep on the table, Lin Yansheng stood up and saluted Old Meng: "Grandpa Meng, don't worry, when Yanshen succeeds in his studies, he will find a way to cure your injury." !”
Not to mention the kindness he received over the past ten days, Old Meng has been the closest old man to him in Tai'an Town for more than ten years.
After saying that, Lin Yansheng walked out gently, ready to leave.
"My injury...you don't have to think too much about it."
But just when Lin Yansheng was about to exit the room, Old Meng suddenly raised his head, his drunken eyes in confusion.
"After so many years, I have become accustomed to it...your master failed to restore my strength, but restored my longevity. But after so many years, I don't want to leave."
"Because I understand that life is nothing more than grass and trees."
"Spin off...if you are really tired in the future, maybe you don't need to be persistent."
Lin Yansheng remained silent, saluted again, and left Old Meng's home.
The next day, he followed the people from the Governor's Mansion and began his journey out of Tai'an Town and towards the vast world!
