He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

"Think about it, what kind of escort mission can be worth five million Eagle Coins?"

The mercenaries either looked confused, or solemn, or had already started thinking about how to spend these three boring days.

Chatu paced on the spot and said with a smile: "Besides, our goal is to let the Jiuzhou military find us. As long as we can hold them back for three days, just three days, the employer can successfully implement his plan. After that, we can also obtain the information and leave Jiuzhou, complete the mission, and get the money that belongs to us."

When it comes to money, the mercenaries' eyes sparkle.

For mercenaries like them, money is the most important thing. Everything else is unimportant, or not that important.

For money, they can take on any task and do anything, even if it is against the law, even if it does not distinguish between right and wrong, even if it causes public outrage.

In the eyes of mercenaries, these are not problems.

"So, everyone, do you still think these three days are boring? After completing this simple task, everyone can get at least 300,000 Eagle Coins. You can use the money to squander, go to the casino, and find women!"

"And the price we have to pay to get this money is just to hide for three days and make sure we are not found by the Kyushu military during these three days. Finally, we take the information and the things and leave Kyushu, that's all. This is too easy for us!"

As soon as the words fell, the mercenaries all smiled, their eyes flashing with desire for money...

Seeing this, Chatu waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, let's spend these boring three days together."

……

Deep in the dense forest of Fenglan Mountain, Zhang Beixing was walking on the grass with a backpack on his back. The sound of his footsteps was intertwined with the sound of dry weeds breaking.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he came to a relatively wide open space. He looked around, put down his bag, and started the live broadcast room.

The moment the live broadcast room opened, hundreds of thousands of people flocked in instantly.

"Hello, everyone. It's time. We are on the air again." Zhang Beixing greeted enthusiastically.

The live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments, which quickly took over the entire screen.

[Host, one word, is there any sword kicking today? If not, we will leave immediately. ]

[My husband is finally on air! My husband, hurry up and practice swordplay, I can’t wait. 】

[What is the host going to play today? The scene has changed again. 】

[Are there any new special effects today? I suggest that the anchor show the new special effects directly, don't do those fancy things. After showing the new special effects, accept the gifts and then end the broadcast, so as not to waste our time. What do you think, anchor? Doghead]

[No problem at all, host, please show me the sword kick. This way, if you kick once, I will fire a rocket. If you can kick a hundred times, I will fire a hundred rockets! I promise to keep my promise!]

[Fuck, a rich guy suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room, please support him~]

Zhang Beixing's live broadcast room has completely turned into a live broadcast room for live performance, or in other words, a live broadcast room for live performance with barrage of comments.

Thinking of this, Zhang Beixing shook his head and smiled bitterly. He took out the Daodao Sword from his bag and said, "Today is still a normal sword practice, it may be different. However, there will be no sword kicking today."

Then, he looked at the decreasing number of people in the live broadcast room, but didn't care.

As for those fans who only care about whether to kick the sword or not, he doesn't care whether they stay or go.

The only thing he cares about is the "fake fans" in the live broadcast room, those who talk about special effects all day long.

These fake fans are his most solid foundation.

What's more, he is not short of money now. Live broadcast means you can broadcast whatever you want, why should you be influenced by others?

After making simple preparations, Zhang Beixing stood in front of the camera, drew out the unsharpened sword, and began to practice simple chopping movements.

Yesterday, he successfully mastered the sword moves, and had a certain understanding of the sword moves in his mind, and also summarized the characteristics of the sword moves.

Next, he needs to practice sword moves to touch the deeper power of sword energy.

Once the sword force is established and sword energy rises, it is possible to break through to the second level.

This was his previous guess. Now that he has mastered the sword power, he is more convinced that mastering the sword energy may be an opportunity to break through the second level, or in other words, it is a key that can open the second level.

It was because of this idea that Zhang Beixing decided to change the scene and come to this dense forest to continue training.

The Great Wall was no longer suitable for his practice because it was not quiet enough.

Judging from the experience of mastering sword moves, it is very important to keep your body and mind calm at the critical moment, which may lead to unexpected results.

But Zhang Beixing has not done well in this regard.

Therefore, after a night of thinking, he determined the next direction and goal of practice.

In the process of practicing sword, he had to practice to keep his inner peace, extreme peace.

Because only in this way can he break through to the second level faster.

Moreover, Zhang Beixing was aware deep in his heart that mastering the ability to stay calm at all times would not only be of great benefit to his swordsmanship training, but would also help to take his flying needle skills to a higher level.

In fact, in the future, no matter what kind of unique martial arts he wants to learn or what weapon he wants to master, this state of mind will be a huge help to him.

After all, many cultivation methods are interconnected and can be applied across fields.

Soon, Zhang Beixing was immersed in the world of sword practice, dancing with the sword freely and ecstatically in the quiet forest.

He tried his best to pursue the state where the sword and man became one, while maintaining peace of mind and experiencing the sense of relaxation after all the tension in his body and mind.

This is the state he has always dreamed of and the state he must achieve.

Time passed quietly and he didn't even notice how much time had passed.

When he felt the silence around him grow deeper, he sheathed his sword and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He walked in front of the camera and glanced at the time.

This time, he actually lasted a full five hours practicing sword skills.

The comments in the live broadcast room were sparse, and the audience seemed to have fallen into silence.

But as soon as Zhang Beixing appeared, barrage of comments immediately came like a tide.

"Anchor, have you finally remembered us?"

"Oh, thank you host for remembering us little fans and coming to visit us."

"Oh my god, the missing people... no, the amnesiacs have returned. That's great!"

"It's not easy. The host actually remembered us."

"Haha, don't go too far. We are honored that the host remembered us. How can you be so sarcastic?"

“Thanks to the anchor, I was able to experience a live broadcast that was even more boring than watching others sleep.”

"Don't say that. The anchor is at least still moving. The one who was sleeping during the live broadcast was really sleeping. I could even hear him snoring."

Zhang Beixing laughed and complained, "You guys are fake fans." Then he smiled and said, "Isn't it just that I was so absorbed in sword practice that I forgot about you? Besides, I'm a sword practice anchor, so of course I have to focus on sword practice."

"Hey, look at the host's attitude. He actually looks down on us, his bread and butter! Brothers, where are the unfollowers?"

"I will unfollow you right away. I have never seen such an arrogant anchor. I will unfollow you right now to let you know how powerful I am."

"Anchor, please beg me. If you only ask me, I won't unfollow you."

"Unless the anchor performs a sword kick, we will unfollow you and reduce your fan count by one! Humph, scare you to death."

"This streamer lost at least three followers, one of which was my secondary account."

"Host, I advise you to beg me immediately. To tell you the truth, the live broadcast room is full of my small accounts. Do you believe me when I use another small account to post this sentence?"

"That's right, I'm the fake account. As long as you apologize, I'll unfollow you." Zhang Beixing shook his head and smiled bitterly, then looked at the live broadcast room with a smile: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I'm going to end the live broadcast and go eat. I'm hungry after practicing sword for a whole day."

"Friends, if nothing unexpected happens, see you in our live studio tomorrow."

After saying that, Zhang Beixing didn't give the fake fans time to react and directly closed the live broadcast room.

“Revenue from this live broadcast: 179238 yuan.”

This number is staggering.

You can earn 18 yuan a day.

Although it is not as good as yesterday's astonishing nearly 200 million, it is also a considerable income.

There was no sword-kicking performance or other activities today. I just practiced swordplay for a day and earned so much money.

If Zhang Beixing was not practicing sword skills but doing live streaming, his income would at least triple.

However, now that he has enough money, Zhang Beixing has no plans to do live streaming professionally. He only wants to improve his swordsmanship.

After packing up his things, Zhang Beixing walked into the depths of the dense forest while summarizing today's experience.

The biggest gain from practicing sword today is that I found that feeling of peace of mind.

It's like... just like a sword fanatic who practices alone in a valley, not caring about worldly affairs, and focusing only on practicing sword.

The sword moves with the body, the mind follows the sword...

Suddenly, Zhang Beixing stopped and muttered to himself what he had just said.

"The sword moves with the body, the mind follows the sword... the mind follows the sword!"

His pupils shrank, as if he had grasped some key information.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand.

If the sword force is to affect the airflow around the sword body, causing it to surround, entangle, and wrap around the sword body, and form sword force to oppress the surroundings.

Then the sword energy is no longer simply affecting the airflow.

The sword moves with the body, and the sword's momentum is composed of the momentum of the sword holder and the surrounding airflow affected by swinging the sword.

And sword energy... is intention, it is sword intention.

However, this sword intent was different from what Zhang Beixing had understood before.

This sword intent is the original intention of the sword, that is, the sword's own momentum and the intention of the sword wielder.

Simply put, if you want to cultivate sword energy, you must comprehend the true meaning of the sword and find the most fundamental source - the original meaning of the sword.

As a sword wielder, he must find the feeling of unity between man and sword, with his mind following the sword and sword energy coming naturally.

Once the sword energy is formed... the second level will be broken through.

The next day.

The atmosphere inside the Fenglan City Military District’s temporary combat command center was tense.

Xu Tairan frowned, his expression solemn.

"Haven't you found anyone yet?" he asked in a deep voice, turning his head and staring at the people behind him with a stern look.

The deputy commander, the chief of staff, and a group of officers all lowered their heads and remained silent.

"It's true that we haven't found it yet, Commander Xu. However, we are rushing to look for it, and have already requested assistance from the police..." The deputy commander took a deep breath and answered seriously.

Xu Tairan didn't say anything, but just stared at the big screen, his fists clenched tightly.

This group of mercenaries is extremely dangerous. If we can't find them for a long time, the consequences will be disastrous.

After all, they are a group of lawless mercenaries who are only interested in money.

As you can expect, they will never do anything good.

"Is there any place you haven't searched yet?" Xu Tairan asked sternly, narrowing his eyes.

The Chief of Staff stepped forward, raised his hand and saluted, "Reporting to the Commander, there are still Fenglan Mountain C area, the city center and some hospitals that have not been checked."

Xu Tairan lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Fenglan Mountain C area...city center...some hospitals."

From the current perspective, Fenglan Mountain is indeed a good place to hide.

However, Fenglan Mountain is vast, and it is extremely difficult to conduct a thorough investigation with the military force of the Fenglan City Military Region.

It requires a lot of time and manpower.

However, I can't care about that now.

He raised his head and looked at everyone present solemnly: "Mobilize a large number of troops and go to Fenglan Mountain to search. I suspect that the group of mercenaries is likely hiding in Fenglan Mountain."

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief." Everyone answered in unison, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Following his order, a large number of officers walked out of the combat command center to arrange the search.

Xu Tairan still stood there with a gloomy look on his face.

He hoped that the group of mercenaries were really hiding in Fenglan Mountain, and that this search would be able to find their traces.

If that group of mercenaries were allowed to complete their mission and take out a large amount of important information that could harm Kyushu, it would be a huge provocation to the military and a serious dereliction of duty on his part.

He would never let this happen, and he would never allow this to happen.

All the initiative must be in their hands.

……

The autumn wind is bleak and the dry smell permeates every corner.

The withered yellow leaves covered the ground, making a crackling sound when stepped on.

In the dense forest of Fenglan Mountain, Zhang Beixing, carrying a backpack on his back, strolled in the sea of ​​golden leaves with his head lowered, his chin supported by one hand, thinking.

He had been summarizing the results of yesterday's training and how to break through to the second level.

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I unknowingly came to the depths of the dense forest.

quack quack.

At this moment, the hoarse and unpleasant cry of the crow was heard, which brought Zhang Beixing back to his senses briefly.

He raised his head and looked around blankly at the scene that was both strange and familiar.

This is where?
Could it be that he got lost because he was thinking about something?
He quickly thought of this possibility.

There were only dense trees and endless forests around. There were no animals, not even a single person in sight.

After standing there for a few minutes, he shook his head helplessly.

Does every swordsman have the ability to get lost?

Zhang Beixing laughed at himself and found a place to sit on the ground. (End of this chapter)
