Dragon City, a mortal martial arts gym.

Lu Qingshan looked around at the martial arts masters who smelled of alcohol, and shook his head slightly at the hidden sword beside him.

"No," seeing Lu Qingshan shaking his head, Zang Xiaojian was a little downcast and said listlessly: "It's not a big deal to find them one by one like this. It's been a long time and we have only investigated five people. How long will this take?

"

"That's right. We need to find a way to improve efficiency." Lu Qingshan agreed. After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea. He tapped the spirit beast bag and called out the Western Rat King.

Before King Xishu could figure out the specific situation, Lu Qingshan threw the jade slip to it. King Xishu hurriedly hugged the jade slip, which was about the same size as himself, with a confused look on his face, "What are you doing?

"

"Choose a name among them." Lu Qingshan said expressionlessly.

"Ah?" King Xishu and Zang Xiaojian were both confused.

"This kind of luck-taking thing, maybe it will work wonders," Lu Qingshan muttered, "It has always been very European."

"Oh?" Zang Xiaojian stared at Lu Qingshan with his big eyes.

"...It means destiny." Lu Qingshan thought for a while and gave an explanation that fits the world's background.

"This is a very pleasant thing to say. Lord Shu, I am indeed my destiny." Hearing Lu Qingshan's evaluation, King Xi Shu immediately narrowed his eyes, became proud, and picked a name from the jade slip very casually, "Then

Just him."

"Xue Zhuyong..." Zang Xiaojian muttered, "This is a carpenter who has been running a wood carving shop in a remote corner in the west of the city for more than thirty years. He is an old carpenter."

"Let's go and have a look." Lu Qingshan said calmly and unhurriedly.

...

"It's almost noon, and the shop isn't open yet?" King Xi Mouse looked at the closed door of the wood carving shop in front of him, and couldn't help complaining: "The shopkeeper of this shop is lazier than Lord Mouse and I."

"Lu Qingshan..." Zang Xiaojian did not answer King Xishu's words.

"Um?"

"It seems you are right. King Xishu may really be... his destiny." Zang Xiaojian swallowed his saliva and said in surprise: "Didn't I tell you that I have the ability to sense swords?

Extremely strong..."

"You mean?" Lu Qingshan understood the meaning of the hidden sword.

Zang Xiaojian nodded his head, pointed at the wooden carving shop with the closed door, and said: "I sensed it. The three-foot sharp sword is in the shop."

After many twists and turns, he finally saw the light of day. Even Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a bit of joy in his heart at this time.

But even though the three-foot sharp edge was right in front of him, Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked around and walked into a tailor shop next to the wood carving shop with his hidden sword.

"Sir, would you like to have your clothes made to measure?" The shopkeeper of the tailor shop saw a customer coming to the door and greeted him attentively.

Lu Qingshan waved his hand and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I would like to ask what is going on in the wood carving shop next door? Why hasn't it started doing business at this hour?"

The shopkeeper said oh and explained: "You mean shopkeeper Xue's wood carving shop.

Shopkeeper Xue is addicted to alcohol. I think he drank too much last night and he still hasn’t woken up from his sleep."

"That's right." Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and then asked, "Has Shopkeeper Xue always been like this?"

The shopkeeper of the tailor shop shook his head, showing a look of reminiscence, and sighed: "It wasn't like this earlier. In the early years, when I was young, shopkeeper Xue also liked drinking, but not as much as he does now.

situation."

Hmm... It should be after Shopkeeper Xue's wife died of illness that Shopkeeper Xue became more and more obsessed with drinking.

Alas, life is always going to be difficult, so drinking to drown your sorrows every day is not an option."

"When did Shopkeeper Xue's wife die of illness? I wonder if the shopkeeper still remembers it?" Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed and he asked again.

"It was probably when I started taking over my own tailor shop." The shop owner thought for a while and replied casually: "It should be seventeen or eighteen years ago specifically."

After getting the answer from the shopkeeper of the tailor shop, Lu Qingshan was relieved at first, and then a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

...Things seem to be getting more complicated and confusing.

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper." Lu Qingshan thanked the shopkeeper, turned to Zang Xiaojian and said, "Then let's wait here for a while, shopkeeper Xue."

Naturally, there will be no objection to hiding the small sword.

It's time to apply.

Close to the point where other shops were closed, the door of the wood carving shop slowly opened with a creaking and rubbing sound.

"Oh, are there any high-profile guests coming today?" Shopkeeper Xue, who still had a sleepy look on his face after a hangover, grabbed a wine gourd in his hand and glanced at Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiao who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Jian, took another sip of wine from the jug.

"Shopkeeper Xue's time to do business is really hard to wait for." Lu Qingshan looked at the thin middle-aged man with a cheeky face in front of him, chuckled, and walked into the small wood carving shop with Zang Xiaojian.

middle.

In the wood carving shop, there are many lifelike and dense wood carvings placed on many wooden shelves. Most of these wood carvings are ferocious monsters, vivid and extremely ferocious.

Lu Qingshan's eyes were sharp as he looked at a wooden sculpture on the wooden frame on the left.

This is a wooden sculpture of a dragon, and its appearance is exactly the same as the dragon statue in the center of the Dragon City Square.

This dragon is circling, and every scale on its body is extremely clear and lifelike.

What shocked Lu Qingshan even more was that although it was just a wooden sculpture in front of him, he seemed to see a dragon roaring in front of him, as if the wooden sculpture came to life.

Turn decay into magic!

In addition to these wood carvings of monster beasts, there are also a small number of wood carvings of some people, whether old people, young women, or middle-aged men. They all look ordinary, just ordinary passers-by. There is nothing mysterious about them, but among these character wood carvings

Above, there is a layer of vague and extremely strange feeling.

artistic conception!

Lu Qingshan was shocked and finally realized why these wood carvings were so "vibrant".

Because these wood carvings actually incorporate artistic conception.

It's just that his current state of mind is not enough. He can only vaguely perceive the extraordinary features of wood carvings, but cannot feel the spirit of artistic conception.

Artistic conception is the transformation that occurs when art reaches its peak, or it is a perception of the way of heaven. It is the supreme method that only high-level monks can master.

The artistic conception of sword cultivation is the sword intention.

Why is the Wind-Destroying Secret Sword so difficult to repair?

There is no other reason for this. The training requirement for Zhan Feng is to master the weak sword intention, and the artistic conception is the most difficult to understand.

The combat power blessing brought by the artistic conception is extremely huge. Under the same cultivation level, those who understand the artistic conception will be able to crush ordinary monks.

Has Xue Zhuyong, or rather the head of the Mo family, reached such a terrifying level of strength?

The moment he discovered this, Lu Qingshan glanced at Xue Zhuyong, who did not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations, and felt a sense of awe in his heart.

Although Zang Xiaojian, like Lu Qingshan, was also observing these wood carvings, she was not attracted by these wood carvings. She just glanced at them like a horse, and her eyes kept wandering around the store.

Suddenly, her gaze suddenly stopped, and then her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she pulled Lu Qingshan's sleeve excitedly.

Lu Qingshan looked in the direction of Zang Xiaojian's line of sight.
