Start with ten times the talent of Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 288
Originally, according to Meng Xiuyuan's plan, he should have set off for Chang'an immediately after learning about the keys to Duke Yang's treasure from Lu Miaozi.

After all, there are many nights and dreams, and if there is any leisure and anecdotes between old friends, it will not be too late to talk about it after solving the powerful enemy of Momen.

Unexpectedly, Lu Miaozi's accidental words during that banquet actually pointed out a magnanimous path for Meng Xiuyuan's martial arts, which had come to an end.

The inconspicuous word "detailed" seems to be a key, unlocking Meng Xiuyuan's own potential treasure house, making his body that has been tempered to an extraordinary level gradually reveal more and more astonishing power.

Practicing kung fu cannot be accomplished overnight. Although Meng Xiuyuan has already found a way to initially integrate the spirit and body into one, the details still need time to explore and try.

Therefore, even though three days have passed since the banquet, Meng Xiuyuan has never stepped out of the bamboo forest, and has been exploring the mysteries of this "delicate" realm without distraction.

Lu Miaozi and Zhang Yong knew Meng Xiuyuan's personality, so they didn't bother him, but they could hear the rumbling sound coming from the depths of the bamboo forest day and night.

Three days later, the rumbling sound finally stopped, and when the two entered the bamboo forest to meet Meng Xiuyuan, they saw gravel all over the ground, and the solid rock wall that stood on one side was suddenly missing a corner. It looks like it was chiseled by a fairy knife and axe, and it looks extremely terrifying.

Looking at the dust and rocks that had not been swept away in Meng Xiuyuan's palms, the two of them could guess what was going on, and they were shocked and speechless for a while.

After a while, Zhang Yong swallowed his saliva, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Brother Meng, in the "Essence of Horizontal Alchemy" you gave me, it says that if you practice horizontal kung fu to the extreme, you can be invulnerable to swords and guns, and your physical strength is almost inexhaustible.

I thought it was just a metaphor, but I didn't expect it to be true.

If you have practiced kung fu to Brother Meng's level, it really seems to be about the same as a god, that is, Brother Meng has no intention of fighting for the world, otherwise the thousands of troops on the battlefield will not be able to stop you in the slightest.

From now on, I will definitely work hard day and night, so that one day in the future, I can also practice [-] to [-]% of Brother Meng's skills..."

As soon as this remark came out, before Meng Xiuyuan could answer, Lu Miaozi couldn't help persuading him:
"Zhang Xiaoyou, I have lived to be eighty or ninety years old, and I have practiced martial arts for a lifetime, so I can share some experiences with you.

The road to martial arts is long, as long as you work hard and persevere, and make progress every day, you don't need to compare yourself with others.

After all, everyone's talents and circumstances are different, and it is really difficult to generalize.

Although I am conceited that I am talented, I always say that it is because I put all my energy into miscellaneous studies and distracted my energy, so I delayed my entry into martial arts, and in the end I was killed by that temptress Zhu Yuyan.

But speaking from the bottom of my heart, even if I don't do miscellaneous studies, and just force myself to be a warrior, I am afraid that it will still be difficult to reach the realm of great masters like Ning Daoqi and Shi Zhixuan..."

While speaking, Lu Miaozi glanced at Meng Xiuyuan, and then his face became more and more sighing:

"People like them who can reach the peak of martial arts, which one is not a genius.

For example, when I first met Brother Meng more than ten years ago, he was only about ten years old, but he was already a top-notch expert in the world.

He obviously doesn't have a trace of true energy in his body, but with physical strength alone, he can still defeat me cleanly.Such a natural endowment is really an anecdote in the world, and it cannot be made up for by others with strong perseverance.

If you don't want to stare at them, it's just adding trouble to yourself..."

Hearing Lu Miaozi's words, Meng Xiuyuan felt a little embarrassed by being overly flattered, but in order to make Zhang Yongmo more ambitious, he finally nodded in agreement.

He asked himself, most of the achievements he has today are due to his innate hacks and the knowledge of martial arts accumulated through three lifetimes.It is really too difficult for Zhang Yong to reach the situation like him.

Unexpectedly, seeing this situation, Zhang Yong didn't show any signs of depression, instead he smiled brightly, looked at Lu Miaozi and shook his head and said:

"Mr. Lu is right, I really can't compare with Brother Meng.

But I think, no matter what, working hard towards his back is the most correct thing I have ever done in my life.

If it weren't for this, I might still be in the small restaurant at this moment, wandering around the stove every day..."

Speaking of which, Zhang Yong turned to look at Meng Xiuyuan, and continued:
"A person has a talent for a person's situation, Brother Meng is indeed uniquely endowed.

But in the same way, if Brother Meng hadn't been sincere and devoted to martial arts, even if he had several times more talent, he might not be able to achieve the level he is today.

I still remember when I was in my parents' restaurant when I was young, Brother Meng would always find a remote corner to practice martial arts by himself, no matter how tired he was, whenever he finished chores in the kitchen.

I was ignorant at the beginning, and all I thought about was how to play and play every day, but after seeing more of his devotion, I couldn't help being infected by him, and gradually improved and benefited a lot.

I may not be able to learn Brother Meng's talent, but he has personally taught me several unique skills, which are hard for most people in the world to find.

If I can still be as sincere as Brother Meng in martial arts, I will definitely be able to make some achievements in the future.

Maybe it's not enough to be famous in the world, but it can still deal with those gangsters and prevent them from bullying innocent people..."

Zhang Yong's words were firm and his eyes were shining brightly, which surprised Lu Miaozi and Meng Xiuyuan when they saw this.

Especially Meng Xiuyuan, when he was doing odd jobs in a restaurant in Cuishan Town, he rarely paid close attention to Zhang Yong. He only felt that this little brother had a simple and honest personality, even a little dull.

However, since the two reunited after they became adults, Zhang Yong has always been able to say something that touched Meng Xiuyuan a lot, which greatly changed Meng Xiuyuan's view of him.

So far, Meng Xiuyuan has been able to confirm that Zhang Yong, the silly son of the restaurant owner, is by no means as ordinary and mediocre as he appears on the outside, but a person with true inner wisdom and ambition.

Such a change made Meng Xiuyuan secretly sigh with emotion.

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Xiuyuan finally got a clear understanding of the situation of Duke Yang's treasure house from Lu Miaozi, and immediately set off for Chang'an.

And because the epee he asked Lu Miaozi to cast for Zhang Yong has not yet formed, so Zhang Yong has to stay in the Pegasus Ranch by himself for a few more days.

When parting, Zhang Yong was still reluctant to part, and asked Meng Xiuyuan when he would be lucky enough to meet again in the future.

But this time, Meng Xiuyuan didn't perfunctory him, instead he responded positively with a meaningful sentence:
"After your heavy sword is cast, if you are not afraid of the threat of the Demon Sect and really want to do something useful for the people of the world, you can come to Chang'an to find me, and you can count as a helper for me."

Zhang Yong was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he had heard the hidden meaning in Meng Xiuyuan's words, his eyes were wide open, looking at him in disbelief.

However, Meng Xiuyuan didn't explain much. He tapped his toe and turned into a blue shadow, which disappeared into the mountains in an instant.

……

The reason why the Weihe Plain where Chang'an is located is called Guanzhong, because there is Tongguan in the east, Dashanguan in the west, Wuguan in the south, and Xiaoguan in the north. It is located within the four passes, so it is called Guanzhong.

Meng Xiuyuan headed north all the way from the Pegasus Ranch, and then turned west when he reached the vicinity of Luoyang, entering Guanzhong from Tongguan.

This Tongguan is the first of the four passes and was built by the Qin people during the Warring States period.It borders the Yellow River in the north and the mountains in the south. It is more than a hundred miles from east to west. The road is opened in the cracks of the rocks. It was renamed Tongguan after the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And Meng Xiuyuan was ambushed as soon as he set foot in the most dangerous place in Tongguan.

A team of nearly a hundred people, all of whom were skilled in martial arts, came out from the cliff above Meng Xiuyuan's head at the most opportune moment.

The other party had obviously known Meng Xiuyuan's strength for a long time, so although everyone was strong, they didn't have the air of a master at all, and they used everything in their moves.The falling stones from the crossbow, the poisonous smoke from the explosives, all the insidious tricks fell in one go, leaving no way for Meng Xiuyuan to survive.

If it weren't for Meng Xiuyuan's recent rapid improvement in realm, and he was able to perceive danger anytime and anywhere with his spiritual sense, their ingenious calculations would have really made Meng Xiuyuan flustered.

In the subsequent close combat, these masked masters also performed very well-trained. Whether it was the initial chaos caused by an ambush and joint siege, or the scattered retreat after dozens of people were killed by Meng Xiuyuan casually, they all performed well. Simply decisive.

It's a pity that for Meng Xiuyuan at this moment, if the opponent has not reached a certain level of martial arts, no matter how many numbers and how well coordinated, it is really difficult to have much effect.

In less than a cup of tea, this group of assassins who had fled in all directions had been hunted down by Meng Xiuyuan until only one leader remained, fleeing alone in the distant forest.

For the last person, Meng Xiuyuan could have killed him with a flying sword from afar, but out of consideration of knowing himself and the enemy, Meng Xiuyuan still decided to capture him and force him to find out which force was behind the ambush.

During the confrontation just now, this group of people really hid themselves very well. Meng Xiuyuan could only tell that they were divided into two factions, one was using martial arts from the Central Plains, and the other was using martial arts from the northern Great Wall. The rest of the information was not found. .

At this moment, the news is all on the person in front of him, how could Meng Xiuyuan allow him to escape, and immediately used all his strength to follow the traces left by the other party and a little bit of spiritual awareness in pursuit.

At Meng Xiuyuan's current state of "delicacy", the physical body and true qi are fully mobilized, and the two tacitly cooperate with each other. It can be said that it is the most effective when used in light kung fu, and the speed is almost twice as fast as before.

In just a split second, Meng Xiuyuan turned into a breeze, and chased after the man, sealing the big hole on his back with Yuanyao's finger, trying to capture him.

But to Meng Xiuyuan's surprise, the man had already fallen down before his pointing force was on his body.After chasing to his eyes and looking closely, he saw that his face was black and purple, and his mouth was green.

Obviously, from the moment the mission failed, this group of assassins never wanted to go back alive, they scattered and fled, they just bought time for the poison on their teeth to work.

Meng Xiuyuan immediately used "Shen Nong's Anti-drug Technique" to detoxify the assassin in front of him, but even though the poison was removed, the damage left by the poison was difficult to recover, and the leader of the assassin was dying.

Fortunately, Meng Xiuyuan possessed the true energy of longevity, and the infusion of this vigorous true energy was enough to hang his life for a few breaths no matter what.

That is to say, taking advantage of these few breaths, Meng Xiuyuan used the "soul-destroying method" to hypnotize him, and roughly asked who was behind him.

The result was quite unexpected. This group of assassins was actually members of the Li Clan. They were considered to be quite an elite assassin team among the Li Clan, with outstanding achievements in the past.

But it's a pity that the Li Clan's internal organization is tight, and pawns like them who are ordered by others don't know where the order comes from.

The Emperor Li Yuan, the three princes, and even several power officials in the Li Clan all have the right to mobilize them, so it is difficult to determine whose idea this assassination is.

Although from a logical point of view, if Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the two brothers who are quite at odds with Li Shimin, were moved, seeing Meng Xiuyuan's close relationship with Li Shimin, he was afraid that he, a peerless master, would add strength to Li Shimin's family, so he wanted to be with him. It makes sense to eradicate them in advance before entering the customs.

But this is only an inference after all, without evidence, Meng Xiuyuan is unwilling to speculate on anyone maliciously.

So for a while, Meng Xiuyuan was not angry, but was a little surprised. He did not expect that this trip to Chang'an would have an enemy besides the Demon Sect.

One must know that at this moment, the entire pass is dominated by the Li family, and there is no doubt that such a high-ranking figure in the Tang Dynasty who is in the dark wants to deal with him, which undoubtedly makes Meng Xiuyuan a little more troublesome.

But the matter has come to this point, Meng Xiuyuan didn't think much about it, he just said that the soldiers came to block him, and the water came to cover him, if that person made another move, he would be easily picked out, it wouldn't be a big deal.

With such thoughts in mind, Meng Xiuyuan turned back, walked leisurely through the corpses of all the assassins towards Tongguan, and formally entered the gate of Guanzhong.

……

After such a battle, Meng Xiuyuan didn't encounter any twists and turns, and walked safely all the way, and arrived near Chang'an City not long after.

But just as Meng Xiuyuan passed by the foot of Zhongnan Mountain dozens of miles away from Chang'an, a familiar figure on the side of the road surprised Meng Xiuyuan a little.

"Mr. Meng, it seems that you are not in a hurry to hurry. I actually arrived one step ahead of you..."

Shi Qingxuan wore a light veil, which obscured her delicate and exquisite face, but Meng Xiuyuan could still guess that there must be a playful smile under her veil at the moment with that slightly teasing voice.

"Miss Shi, didn't you go back to Sichuan, why did you come back to Guanzhong again.

Judging from your tone, it must be that you have received some rumors and came to Guanzhong on purpose.

In my impression, Miss Shi is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun, why must she come to this troubled water in this troubled time? "

Meng Xiuyuan was not happy to meet a beautiful woman suddenly, instead he frowned slightly and asked in a slightly lower voice.

When Shi Qingxuan saw Meng Xiuyuan, she originally had some joy in her words, but when she heard Meng Xiuyuan's questioning, she immediately lowered her voice and replied with a little dissatisfaction:
"It is true that Qingxuan has received a letter from Fei Ge from Senior Lu Miaozi, that's why she came to Guanzhong to see Mr. Meng.

But I'm not here to join in the fun, but to get down to business.

Young master, do you remember that you once promised me that after the Luoyang incident, you would come to Shuzhong to meet me, so that I could hand over the "Immortal Seal Scroll" to you.

But I waited and waited, and only the news of Mr. Meng's fame came, but I still did not see Mr. Meng..."

At this point, Shi Qingxuan's voice paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes looked straight at Meng Xiuyuan's, and she asked crisply:
"A cruel-hearted person like Mr. Meng seems to be a habitual offender.

I don't know if the young master has made an agreement with other women like he did with Qingxuan in the past, but he has not fulfilled the agreement for a long time? "

A faint question at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain made Meng Xiuyuan, who has hundreds of years of skill, still suffocate, and his mind was full of thoughts.
