Xu Yihang ignored Li Ying's stunning appearance, and Li Ying was not annoyed. She just turned around and moved to sit on the chair, picking up the teacup on the round table and sipping lightly.

The two of them were speechless for a moment, and Xu Yihang was also very embarrassed, neither leaving nor staying.

Li Ying saw Xu Yihang's embarrassment and said, "You can tell me if you want me to, but how about you tell me about the painting of the little girl first?"

Xu Yihang suddenly remembered the rhetoric prepared by Zhou Zhong, and replied: "The mountain peaks are dangerous, the old trees are dangerous, the baby birds are crying for food, and their parents have been killed by eagle talons. This painting of the girl is intended to express the difficulties that the baby birds are about to face.

Tragic fate.”

Li Ying said: "This is just the meaning shown in the painting. Could it be that with the young hero's intelligence, he only saw this?"

Xu Yihang asked: "Girl, does this painting have a deeper meaning?"

Li Ying said: "Young hero, can you bring the little girl's painting with you?"

Xu Yihang laughed at himself: "Three thousand taels of silver, naturally I carry it with me."

After Xu Yihang said this, he took off the painting tube behind his back and saw a long table under the window, so he strode over to take out the painting scroll and unfold it.

Li Ying remained silent, and Xu Yihang looked at the painting carefully. Upon closer inspection, he found something different. The two goshawks going away were one big and one small. One of them looked back at the young bird, and there was nothing in his eyes.

Killing intent; when faced with the murder of its parents, the young bird is supposed to be cowering in fear, but in the painting, it is standing by the nest and trying to flap its wings and fly. Is it chasing the corpses of its parents? Or... is it trying to follow the goshawk?

Walk?

Xu Yihang closed the scroll and said: "The parents were killed and the powerful enemy has not yet gone away. The behavior of the young bird is too abnormal."

Li Ying said: "Hmm? Young hero, please elaborate?"

Xu Yihang continued: "This young bird saw its parents being killed, so it should hide to save its life, but looking at the artistic conception of the painting, the young bird is not afraid of the goshawk at all. From what I can see below, the young bird wants to follow the goshawk. As for the reason?

, I’m afraid that this young bird has clearly seen the situation, and if it is left there by itself, it will starve to death sooner or later.”

Li Ying clapped her hands lightly and stood up and said, "It's a pity that the goshawk didn't take the young bird with her. Even the young bird's shrill cry filled the sky and it didn't make the goshawk look back."

Xu Yihang said: "It is the law of the jungle that preys on the strong. It is a mercy for the goshawk not to kill the young birds."

Li Ying said: "Take a closer look at what's under the talons of those two goshawks."

Xu Yihang wondered: "Aren't they just two big birds?"

Xu Yihang opened the scroll again, took a look, and said in surprise: "Are the two dead birds also eagles?"

Li Ying stopped talking and signaled Xu Yihang to put the scroll away and said, "Don't you want to know what true energy is, young hero?"

Xu Yihang hurriedly put away the scroll and said, "Please let me clear up my doubts."

Li Ying said: "Young hero, can you know the innate vitality?"

Xu Yihang replied: "Martial arts practitioners naturally know this innate vitality. The human body has twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, which are divided into two attributes: Yin and Yang. What we martial practitioners practice is Hou Tianqi, which is also divided into Yin and Yang, but this

Innate vitality is spread throughout the body's major veins, but there is no distinction between yin and yang."

Li Ying said slowly: "The true energy gathered in the Dantian is the internal force, and the innate vitality gathered in the Dantian is the true essence."

When Xu Yihang heard the words, he immediately understood, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there were too many doubts, so he asked again: "The innate vitality is so weak that it is undetectable, so how can it gather in the Dantian? Can this innate vitality also be cultivated? If martial arts practitioners can cultivate the innate vitality

, why has no martial arts been spread throughout the world in the past few hundred years?"

Li Ying said: "Thousands of years ago, there were secret books for cultivating innate vitality in this world. However, it was too difficult to cultivate the innate vitality, and it was gradually eliminated and forgotten by people. Today, everyone only knows about the inner power of the innate vitality, but very few people know about it.

The vitality and true essence.”

Xu Yihang asked: "How did the girl know this true essence?"

Li Ying did not answer, but asked: "How did the young hero know?"

Xu Yihang hesitated to speak. He couldn't tell Li Ying that he destroyed the Feijian Sect because he heard it from Huo Ying, the master of the Feijian Sect.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and finally Li Ying broke the brief silence. Li Ying said: "If you want to find out, young hero, you can go to the Shangqing Sect, Penglai Island, Tianzhu Peak, and Qingcheng Sect to inquire.

These sects that have been passed down for nearly a thousand years may give you an answer."

Li Ying gave Xu Yihang a clear direction, but the meaning of seeing off the guests was also obvious.

Xu Yihang thanked him and said, "Thank you very much for your guidance, miss. I'll take my leave."

Xu Yihang didn't hesitate, turned around, opened the door and left.

Not long after Xu Yihang left, an old man came out from behind the screen in Liying's room. The old man said: "You did a good job. If you want to achieve great things, you must learn to be patient. Xu Yihang will be of great use in the future."

Li Ying bowed and said, "Yan'er will follow Mr. Lu's teachings."

"Okay, it's getting late. I'm leaving. You should rest earlier." After saying that, the old man jumped out of the window and disappeared immediately.

The maid entered the room and helped Li Ying undress. When the white gauze dress was taken off, a purple birthmark the size of a dove egg was revealed on her snow-white neck.

In a private room on the third floor of Sihai Building, several tough men were sitting in the room. One man asked: "Brother, didn't you tell me to wait for assistance before? Why did you suddenly change it to surveillance?"

The burly man sitting in the main seat replied: "We just obey orders and do what we are told. We don't need to know the reasons."

If Xu Yihang saw this man at this time, he would be shocked if he had a good memory. These people were none other than Zhu Qingjue and other Vajra Sect masters who were supposed to assist Xu Yihang.

There were some intersections in the tomb, but Xu Yihang's name was Yi Tianhang at that time.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong had already left Sihai Tower and were about to go to the market to finish their breakfast. They had spent more than three thousand taels last night and this morning their pockets were cleaner than their faces.

The two of them had just walked not far when they heard someone behind them shouting: "You two will stay for now, Xiao Ke has something to discuss."

The person who came was Manager Wei from Sihailou.

Manager Wei ran up to Xu Zhou in a few steps, raised his hands and said, "Can you two take a moment to talk?"

Xu Yihang looked around and replied: "Manager Wei, let me know if you have anything to say. The two of us are still hungry."

With a smile on his face, Manager Wei said: "Xu Shaoxia is quick to talk, so I won't be polite. Just now Beicang sent Mr. Su to find me and asked me to buy paintings with Shaoxia."

Xu Yihang said: "Master Su? Is that the one from last night?"

Manager Wei replied: "It's true that Mr. Su has a deep affection for Miss Li Ying and wants to ask Shaoxia Xu to give him Miss Li Ying's paintings."

Xu Yihang said: "Why doesn't Su Weixian come by himself?"

Manager Wei said: "Young Master Su is also a man of honor. It was already embarrassing enough that he failed to buy my sweetheart's calligraphy due to lack of money last night. Today I want to buy this painting at such a low price from you. I really don't have the shame to come here in person."

Zhou Zhong was not happy about this, and said sarcastically: "Buy it cheap? How cheap? It doesn't matter if I can't give you three thousand taels, but according to his bid last night, it will be two thousand one hundred taels."

Manager Wei smiled and said, "Master Su spent a lot last night. I'm afraid he doesn't have two thousand taels of silver left."

Xu Yihang asked: "How much does he plan to pay?"

Manager Wei said: "Um...one hundred taels."

"How much?!" Zhou Zhong shouted after hearing this, which frightened the pedestrians around him and attracted contemptuous looks from passers-by.

Xu Yihang smiled and said: "What's the difference between the price Su Weixian gave and Mingqiang? This is also called a deep feeling?"

Manager Wei replied: "Young hero is unaware of something. I am afraid that young hero will not be able to leave the city today. Last night, young hero reported his identity. This morning, a large number of people gathered outside the city. The masters from the Iron Horse Gang and Zhenwu Division have arrived."

Xu Yihang sneered: "Are you threatening me?"

Manager Wei still had the same smile and said: "I don't dare, but Young Master Su has made a promise. As long as you give up Miss Liying's calligraphy treasure to him, he will escort the young hero out of the city."

Xu Yihang said: "He, Su Weixian, is only at the top of the list. Where does this confidence come from?"

Manager Wei said: "The head of Beicang Sect Su is Mr. Su's father. If you want to get out of the city safely, Mr. Su's carriage is a good place to go. If you are willing, you can quickly go back to the restaurant and get Mr. Su's carriage from the Zhenwu Division."

People don’t care whether they are inside or outside the city. Once the city gate opens, the young hero will not be able to escape."

Zhou Zhong heard this and said anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."

Xu Yihang said: "Please also ask Manager Wei to lead the way."

A quarter of an hour later, at the west gate of Daliang City, a luxurious four-horse carriage slowly left the city.

The officers from the Zhenwu Division came forward to stop the car and wanted to search it, but they heard the coachman say arrogantly: "This is Mr. Su's car, you won't get out of here!"

The officers of the town's military division came all night and were already exhausted. After arriving at Daliang City early in the morning, they began to search for Xu Zhou's people. They did not have a moment to rest and were already full of complaints. At this time, the few officers who stayed at the city gate

I was scolded by the coachman again, so I couldn't hold back my anger, why did I care about him?

There was a "clanging" sound of swords being drawn out. Several officers from the Zhenwu Division each held swords in their hands. One person shouted loudly: "How dare you! How dare you obstruct the Zhenwu Division from handling the case!"

Upon seeing this, the city gate guards and the Iron Horse Gang rushed over. In just a moment, twenty or thirty people gathered and immediately surrounded the driver.

Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong hid in the secret compartment of the carriage. Xu Yihang whispered: "Master Su, if I am discovered by the Zhenwu Division, you will owe me two thousand nine hundred taels of silver."

Su Weixian smiled and said: "Brother Xu is really good at joking. I, Mr. Su, think to myself that in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, no one dares to check my carriage except when entering and leaving the imperial city."

As soon as Su Weixian finished speaking, he heard a painful cry from the driver outside, and the curtain of the carriage was thrown open.

Su Weixian looked embarrassed, the slap in the face was too fast.

The Zhenwu officer who lifted the curtain stared at Su Weixian fiercely and said: "Get off the car! Everyone will get off the car and be interrogated!"

Su Weixian was scolded for no reason. No matter how good-tempered he was, he was still a little annoyed. Su Weixian said coldly: "I am a little sleepy and don't want to get out of the car!"

Just as the official of Zhenwu Division was about to get angry, Su Weixian said again: "Is this Daliang City the responsibility of Lord Yuan Shiyi?"

The officer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said to himself: "Does this young master recognize my Lord Yuan?"

The officer's tone softened slightly and he asked: "Master Yuan has gone to the city to search for thieves. Who are you?"

At this time, the driver outside shouted loudly: "You are so brave. Inside the car is Mr. Su from Beicang Sect! Even if your family is here, you would not dare to be so rude when meeting Mr. Su!"
