Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, he looked at Xin Yu's back in surprise, and Xin Yu's little sister was also surprised, she was the fifth to pour wine, but found that Zhang Xuan's bowl had a lot less wine than others, she blinked, glanced at her sister in confusion, and poured wine for Zhang Xuan with a smile.

When the five girls had finished their wine, they saluted the guests together, and their faces were flushed, and they retreated, and the big tent was lively again.

Chai Shao gently turned Zhang Xuan with his arm, and asked with a low smile, "Why didn't she pour you wine just now?" ”

Zhang Xuan touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "I guess she is still angry with me, I let go of the dragon's spine kun that she was about to catch." ”

"Then try the second one!"

Chai Shao covered his mouth and smiled: "The second one is obviously interesting to you-"

Zhang Xuan coughed heavily, interrupting Chai Shao's words, he turned his head and asked Tulle in a loud voice: "May I ask the Great Chief, the Turks have suffered heavy losses, will they take revenge on the Kulun Ministry?" ”

This is also a matter of concern to everyone, all of them looked at Thule, Thule's face became a little gloomy, he said coldly: "This is a common thing, every year to fight against the increase in taxes for sheep, we have to fight a war with the Turks, the steppe is like this, for pasture, for water, for women, for cattle and sheep, war is commonplace, death is glory, two of my five daughters are widows." ”

Zhang Xuan also wanted to test the matter of the armor, but when he saw Li Jing giving him a look, he smiled and said no more, and raised his wine to Tole and toasted a bowl of wine

Like the Turkic customs, the Tiele people held a banquet for their guests lasted for two days and two nights, but it did not mean that they sat around the banquet all the time, except for the two large feasts at noon and evening, the rest of the time was spent leisurely.

Zhang Xuan's tent covers an area of half an acre, consisting of two parts, the inside is the sleeping tent, and the outside is the living quarters, and it is full of all kinds of expensive items, such as gold and silver utensils from Sogdia and carpets from Persia, as well as porcelain and Shu embroidery from the Central Plains, so that although the tent is large, it does not appear empty.

Zhang Xuan sat at the small table and carefully looked at the iron gun used for the first time today, this iron gun is one foot and two feet long, the lines are smooth, the gun is sharp, and the weight of fifty catties is much lighter for him, this is the effect he achieved after the first breakthrough of cohesion, and his strength has obviously increased a lot.

At this time, a deep voice came from outside the tent, "Zhang Gongzi, can I come in?" ”

The voice was very unfamiliar, but it was Han, and Zhang Xuan immediately said, "Please come in!" ”

As soon as the curtain was raised, a majestic figure appeared at the door of the big tent, only to see that he was full of beard and mighty, it turned out to be Zhang Zhongjian, after a fierce battle today, Zhang Xuan just greeted him under the introduction of Chai Shao, but did not talk deeply.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Zhongjian, Zhang Xuan was rude." ”

Zhang Zhongjian also saluted him back, and said with a slight smile: "Congratulations to Gongzi for his breakthrough!" ”

"Did Si Chang tell Brother Zhong Jian?"

"Nope! I can see that. ”

Zhang Zhongjian looked into his eyes and said, "Your gaze is much clearer and brighter than last time, which is an important sign of a breakthrough in cohesion." ”

"Brother Zhang, please take a seat!"

Zhang Xuan has always been grateful to Zhang Zhongjian, if it wasn't for the bluestone scripture he gave him, how could he go back and reshape his muscles and bones after the age of twenty-two, Zhang Xuan hurriedly cleaned up the dishes on the table and asked Zhang Zhongjian to sit down.

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head, "Go outside the tent, I want to try your progress!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled: "I can't ask for it!" ”

He casually picked up a blunt knife next to him, this was a fifteen-pound heavy knife, I don't know where Cheng Yanjin got it for him.

"Please!"

Zhang Zhongjian walked out of the tent door quickly, Zhang Zhongjian took out the double halberd from the war horse, and said with a smile: "Come on!" Just like last time, use all your strength to chop down. ”

Zhang Xuan slowly moved his shoulders, so that his strength was full in an instant, he shouted, jumped high, and the heavy knife in his hand slashed towards Zhang Zhongjian like a thunderbolt, the air wave in his face made Zhang Zhongjian breathe, and he also shouted, "Good come!" The twin halberds slammed outward.

'When! There was a piercing loud bang, Zhang Xuan only felt a overwhelming force attack, he was shocked to retreat five or six steps in a row, his arms were numb for a while, and the tiger's mouth was in severe pain, but this time the knife did not come out.

Zhang Zhongjian also took two steps back, looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise, nodded, put the double halberd back on the war horse, and waved his hand, "Enough, please!" ”

Zhang Xuan still noticed the gap between them, he couldn't help but feel frustrated, turned around and returned to the big tent, the two sat down at the table, Zhang Zhongjian said with great emotion: "Why didn't I expect that the virtuous brother could succeed." ”

"Brother Zhongjian thinks it's impossible for me to succeed?"

Zhang Zhongjian nodded, "It's useless to just give you the bluestone scripture, you have to go to the extremely cold land to practice hard for two months before it is possible to break through, ten years ago I went to the bitter cold land near Beihai to practice for a winter, and only got the first breakthrough, and I also used ten purple insect jade pupa, but I only gave you two, and it is early summer, how can you succeed?" ”

Zhang Zhongjian looked at Zhang Xuan with doubt, when he first saw Zhang Xuan in the morning, he was really shocked, he never dreamed that Zhang Xuan would actually succeed.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "This is Li Jing's credit." ”

Zhang Xuan told Zhang Zhongjian in detail how Li Jing instructed him to reduce his weight and let himself get a breakthrough after practicing at the bottom of the river.

Zhang Zhongjian's eyes became more and more surprised, his master Ziyang Zhenren took more than ten years of trial and error to complete the Qingshi Sutra, but even the master could not think of using the method of reducing medicine to achieve success, that required mastering the efficacy and dosage of each medicine, and needed to have an extremely deep understanding of pharmacology and the Qingshi Sutra, but this Li Jing actually did it.

He sighed and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a clever person in the world, who can break the secret of the Bluestone Sutra, I want to make a good friend of this person." ”

A strange thought rose in Zhang Xuan's heart, could it be that the friendship between the bearded guest and Li Jing started because of his introduction?

However, at this time, Zhang Xuan didn't care about exploring such trivial matters, he had too many questions in his heart to ask Zhang Zhongjian for solution, and he hurriedly asked: "I just broke through for the first time, can I break through again in the future?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile: "There are four practice diagrams on the Bluestone Sutra, that is, you can break through up to four times, but how many times you can break through varies from person to person, I only broke through three times, this is my limit, and the person who can break through four times in the technique of cohesion, as far as I know, there are only three in the world." ”

"Is Shi Wansui alone?"

"He is the first person, in fact, he is also my uncle, but unfortunately he died unjustly, the second person is Yuwen Chengdu, he is Yu Juluo's apprentice, Yu Juluo himself has only broken through three times, but he has accepted a good apprentice."

At this time, Zhang Xuan's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Is the third person Li Xuanba?" ”

Zhang Zhongjian smiled in surprise: "How do you know? ”

"I heard Li Shentong say that his nephew practiced martial arts with Ziyang Zhenren."

"It is impossible for him to know that my master has been secretly cultivating Xuanba, and it is impossible for outsiders to know about Xuanba's achievements except for very few people who know about them."

Zhang Zhongjian wondered in his heart, how could Zhang Xuan know? Could it be that Xuanba himself leaked the secret to his family?

"Li Shentong just said that his nephew has made great achievements in martial arts, so I'm just guessing casually, and my brother doesn't need to be surprised."

Zhang Xuan said that he leaked his mouth, and hurriedly covered up the past vaguely, Zhang Zhongjian thought about it, maybe it was really Zhang Xuan who had no intention of guessing, so he stopped asking, and said to Zhang Xuan: "The key to the bluestone scripture is the first breakthrough, as long as you break through the first time, the next few times will be much easier, of course, if the qualification is not good, even the first time can not break through, ordinary people can't bear the torment of the strange heat in the body at all, at least you will be disabled for life, and at worst you will be killed, you can succeed for the first time, then you can at least break through again." ”

"When does it usually come? I mean the second time. ”

"Soon, and before you know it, but I'm sure you won't have the same ecstasy as you did when you first broke through."

"Why?" Jaung Hyun asked puzzled.

"There's nothing to explain, maybe it's a realm! When a person succeeds many times, he will become numb, and the most unforgettable thing is always the first success. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, he could fully understand Zhang Zhongjian's explanation, at this time, he remembered something again, and hurriedly asked: "There is also a purple insect jade chrysalis, where can I get it?" ”

Zhang Zhongjian smiled slightly, "This is a big problem!" It is the key to practicing the bluestone scripture, in fact, the purple insect jade chrysalis is the name given by my master, you buy it in the Turks, you must say that you buy the ice slag worm, they don't know what the purple insect jade chrysalis is. ”

Zhang Zhongjian took out a small crystal bottle from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xuan, "I got this from a Turkic family last month, but unfortunately there are only two, I don't need them, give them to you!" You'll have to find the rest yourself. ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly took the vial, "Thank you brother for your love!" ”

He held the bottle high and stared at the purple slurry in the bottle, feeling a little regretful in his heart, but unfortunately there were only two.

Zhang Zhongjian patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "You can break through with only two purple worms, which shows that your qualifications are high, practice hard, I believe you will surpass me." ”

Zhang Zhongjian stood up and said with a smile: "I'll go get to know Li Jing and see if he can also help me solve some questions in my heart, and besides, since we are destined, I will give you another treasure." ”

He took a scroll from his bosom and placed it on the table, laughed, turned around, and strode out of the tent.

Zhang Xuan picked up the yellowed scroll and slowly unfolded it, only to see a line of large characters written on the top, 'Halberd Law Thirteen Uniques', followed by thirteen pictures, and densely written annotations next to them.

Zhang Xuan felt an indescribable taste in his heart, an indescribable touch, his nose was a little sour, he couldn't help but sigh lowly, what is generosity and benevolence, he finally realized it today.
