The unity of man and knife is a very illusory thing, even the abbot can't say it clearly, and I can't say it clearly.

I can only feel that my mastery of the flying knife has changed from being confused at the beginning, to gradually touching some doorways, and it seems that I can feel the trajectory of the flying knife after it is shot, and it is improving little by little.

According to the average person, this is a result that must be carefully calculated, to give a simple example, how many turns a throwing knife rotates after it is shot before it can hit the target.

This is the most basic and the knife throwing technique that is performed in a circus in general.

However, Biyun Temple, as a holy place of martial arts, has a higher level of realm.

Biyun Temple pays more attention to the unity of people and knives, that is, to abandon all calculations, with their own feelings, shoot flying knives, and reach the highest level of winning without tricks.

But there is no shortcut to this realm, only diligence can reach the other side of success.

My progress depends on thinking more and practicing more, reflecting in practice, and practicing after reflection.

And I basically spent all my time and energy on practice.

When it comes to talent, I may not be high, but I believe that diligence can make up for it.

Thankfully, my hard work paid off.

After practicing hard for more than a month, my mastery of throwing knives has improved and I can master more flight changes.

For example, a month ago, when I first got a glimpse of the doorway, the flying knife could only fly in a simple curve, and it was basically impossible to make the curve a little larger and more complicated, not to mention that it was a fool's dream to attack the target at any angle like the abbot.

But now, I can get the knives to attack at a more tricky angle and in a larger arc.

To give another simple example, in the past, when I wanted to attack a given target, the throwing knife could only shoot the target from the front, but now it can make the flying knife show a larger curve and attack from the left and right, but it is still very difficult to go around the rear of the established target, and it is estimated that it will be good to succeed once or twice out of ten times.

The abbot came to check the results, and when he saw my performance, he had almost the same expression and said the same thing every time, stupid!

Maybe I'm really stupid, or maybe the abbot is afraid of my pride, so he's motivating me.

But no matter what, I didn't waver.

Because I know very well that I can only succeed if I practice diligently without interruption, and it is simply unrealistic to suddenly have an epiphany and master the mystery of flying knives.

At least, I don't think I have that kind of understanding.

I stayed in Biyun Temple for more than two months, and the eldest prince also moved to Zhongjing for more than two months, because there is still a hidden danger of stubborn stones on Suizhou Island, and every day passes, I have more worries in my heart.

I have a strong premonition that a crisis may come soon.

Another storm is coming.

This is almost a law, after a big war there must be calm, and after a calm there must be a big war.

It has been so quiet now that there is a high probability that a big war is on the verge of breaking out.

There are many possibilities to become the fuse, such as the change in the situation in Beijing, the turf competition on Suizhou Island, the game in the casino business, and personal grievances, all of which may become the fuse and lead to the outbreak of the war.

In this way, the pressure also accumulated in the time, prompting me to practice continuously, wanting to learn a day earlier and go down the mountain.

But things often backfire, and I practiced for more than a month, and when I went to Biyun Temple for almost four months, although my spinning flying skills have been greatly improved compared to before, I can attack the target with many changes, front and back, left and right, but the accuracy has been greatly reduced, and it is extremely unstable.

Sometimes I can hit three or four times out of ten, sometimes I can only hit one or two times out of ten, or even none at all, which makes me cry and laugh.

Am I improving, or am I regressing?

On this day, the abbot saw my performance and said that my situation is not proficient enough, because there are too many changes, but distracted, but unable to master, there is still no other way, only by a lot of practice to solve.

I made up my mind that night to increase the amount of training the next day, do devilish training, and strive to complete the study one day earlier.

However, the next morning after I made up my mind, a phone call came in.

It was the eldest prince who called.

The eldest prince was quite anxious, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me: "Xiao Kun, are you still in Biyun Temple?" ”

I snorted and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I'm still in Biyun Temple, is there anything wrong?" ”

The eldest prince said: "Murong Hang's son was assassinated last night and died on the spot. ”

"What!"

When I heard the words of the eldest prince, I couldn't help but be shocked.

The eldest prince said: "After the last assassination, Murong Hang especially strengthened the protection of his son, and it has been a long time since there was an accident, maybe his people were a little negligent, so he gave the assassin a chance." ”

I said, "How so? Does anyone know what to do? ”

The eldest prince said: "It is not known who the assassin is, and when the assassin committed the murder, he wore silk stockings, and he could not see his appearance clearly, only his body shape." The assassin was very strong, and in just a few minutes, he killed all the bodyguards who protected Murong Hang's son, and finally solved Murong Hang's son, cleanly. ”

When I heard the words of the eldest prince, I couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cool air, it seems that he is a top master.

If you want to kill the bodyguards of the Second Prince's Mansion in a short time, kill Murong Hang's son, and then go away, you can't do it if you are a master of the level of Eighth Master and Xu Yuanshan.

He asked, "What is Murong Hang's reaction now?" ”

The eldest prince said: "Murong Hang swore in public that he would catch the murderer until his body was broken into pieces. Although he did not name anyone, he pointed the finger at us, suspecting that I had instructed him to start moving around my mansion. What I'm most worried about now is that Murong Hang will take revenge because of his son's death and losing his mind, so you'd better hurry back to Suizhou Island in case something happens. ”

When I heard the words of the eldest prince, my heart tightened, the words of the eldest prince were by no means alarmist, Murong Hang's son died, whether it was for the purpose of revenge or the purpose of attacking the eldest prince, it was possible to assassinate me and the eldest princess's son.

If the son of the eldest princess and I also die, then the eldest prince and the second prince are on the same running line.

At the moment, he said: "I understand Your Highness, I strive to return to Suizhou Island as soon as possible." ”

The eldest prince was very worried, and was not satisfied with my words, and said, "It is better to be at once, and there may be danger at a later moment." ”

I said, "I'll go and say goodbye to the abbot right away." ”

"Hmm."

The eldest prince hummed and hung up the phone.

I hung up the phone and thought about it, and made another call to Zhao Wanli.

Zhao Wanli quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, Brother Kun, what's the matter?"

Zhao Wanli said.

I said: "Just now I received news from the eldest prince, the son of the second prince Murong Hang was assassinated in Zhongjing last night, and the prince may be in danger, you immediately send additional manpower to protect the eldest prince's mansion twenty-four hours a day, and prohibit anyone from entering the eldest prince's mansion until I come back." ”

Zhao Wanli also realized the seriousness of the matter when he heard my words, and hurriedly agreed: "Understood, I will arrange it immediately." ”

I still felt uneasy, and said, "It's best that you, Shi Zhao, and Brother Yao take turns on duty in person." ”

Zhao Wanli said: "No problem, I'll inform them immediately." Brother Kun, when are you coming back? ”

I said, "I'll be back in a day or two at the latest." ”

After instructing Zhao Wanli, I made another call to the eldest princess and communicated with the eldest princess.

The eldest princess now knows the news of the second prince's son being killed, and she is also very nervous, and when she receives a call from me, she first asks me when I will return to Suizhou Island, and when I hear me say that I will go back soon, my heart has settled down a little.

Then he asked me who was so ruthless.

I told the eldest princess that even the eldest prince could not be found, and it was impossible for me to know, but it was certain that my son and the eldest princess were in a very dangerous situation, not only was it possible for the second prince to retaliate because he suspected the eldest prince, but the person who committed the murder in secret was also possible to strike again, kill me and the eldest princess's son, and create a contradiction between the eldest prince and the second prince.

After talking to the eldest princess on the phone, I thought about it.

Who killed Murong Hang's son? Who is most beneficial to kill Murong Hang's son?

On the surface, the eldest prince is the biggest beneficiary, but in fact, Murong Qi is the biggest beneficiary.

Just imagine, if there is a conflict between the eldest prince and the second prince, who will benefit from the fisherman?
