Sacrifice

Li Muchan took Yuebai's plain silk scroll and slowly unfolded it to read.

On the plain silk with faint cloud patterns, four lines of small characters are beautiful and round. From top to bottom, from right to left, they are written by Mei Ruolan herself.

It is clearly written on it that Zhan Ran, a disciple of Tianshu Academy, is hereby ordered to go to Wulu Mansion in Tiannanlu Town on July 18th to present the birthday gift of two white jade statues of Amitabha Buddha and a scroll of the Diamond Sutra without delay.

Li Muchan frowned and looked at Xiao Yuan.

Xiaoyuan put on a serious face and said solemnly: "Zhanran, this is Miss's order. Except for the head of the family who has the right to disobey it, no one in the whole family can disobey it, unless they are not disciples of the Mei family!"

Li Muchan smiled and said, "What if I disobey the order?"

"Expelled from the mansion." Xiao Yuan gave her a serious look with no expression on her face.

Li Muchan shook his head. He was really powerful and had a lot of skills in chess. He had no power to fight back. The eldest lady's move was quite ruthless.

Zhao Yuzhen came over and asked curiously: "Is it the warrant from the eldest lady?"

"Not bad." Xiaoyuan nodded with a straight face.

Zhao Yuzhen raised his sword eyebrows and said: "The eldest lady rarely gives orders. Every time it is an important matter, Fifth Junior Brother, what is going on?"

"Elder brother, let's take a look." Li Muchan handed over the plain silk scroll.

Zhao Yuzhen carefully took the scroll, unfolded it slowly, and praised: "This beautiful calligraphy by the eldest lady is really beautiful, and it feels so comfortable to look at!"

As he was talking, he looked up in surprise when he saw the content inside: "That's it...?"

He originally thought that it was something big that the eldest lady had written in her own hand and issued the order. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a trivial matter. The contrast was so great that he was momentarily surprised and inexplicable.

Li Muchan smiled, and Xiao Yuan hummed: "Zhan Ran, did you take the order?"

Li Muchan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go on to ask, where are the things?"

Xiaoyuan said with a straight face: "I'll give it to you tomorrow, hurry up and prepare it, don't delay!"

She was about to turn around when she suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, the lady has already asked the swordsmithing hall to recast two swords for you, as well as some small arrows. I will take them with me tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Miss." Li Muchan nodded.

Madoka showed a smile: "Then I will reply to the lady!"

"Go." Li Muchan waved his hand.

Xiao Yuan Yingying left, and Zhao Yuzhen was still looking at the handwriting, thoughtfully.

"Elder brother." Li Muchan called with a smile.

Zhao Yuzhen was shocked, came to his senses, and looked at him with a frown: "Fifth Junior Brother, what's going on?"

At this time, He Nanshan and the others also came back. Seeing them, they came over and snatched Mei Ruolan's handwriting, studying it with relish.

Li Muchan smiled and downplayed the story of how he killed two sons of the Li family, provoked the entire Li family to pursue them, and finally introduced bald bandits, causing the Li family to lose troops and generals.

Of course, he changed it a bit and said that the reason for the murder was that the two boys plotted against him and he killed them in a rage. However, he did not expect that the Li family was actually a subordinate of the Helian family.

When they heard about the Helian family, the four people's expressions suddenly changed.

Zhao Yuzhen asked hurriedly: "Helian family? Which Helian family?"

"The No. 1 family in the northwest." Li Muchan smiled.

Zhao Yuzhen frowned and his face sank. Seeing this, He Nanshan hurriedly said: "The first family in the northwest, how come the Helian family and the Li family are together?"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "It seems to be some kind of relative... I heard from the young lady that the Helian family has sent someone here."

"Why are they here?" Yu Chiming was confused and said: "Is it to avenge those two boys? It's really making a fuss out of a molehill, hehe, hehe..."

"Yes, they want to kill me to avenge the two of them." Li Muchan nodded.

The laughter stopped suddenly, Yu Chiming's smile froze, he looked at him, then turned to look at Zhao Yuzhen.

Zhao Yuzhen sighed: "Miss, why did you send you out to avoid the Helian family?"

Li Muchan nodded.

"Miss, you really worked hard..." Zhao Yuzhen sighed.

His face was tense, his expression was gloomy, and there was a hint of anger.

Yu Chiming clapped his hands and shouted: "Yes, fifth junior brother, once you leave, the world is so big, how can we find the Helian family?"

Li Muchan shook his head and frowned: "When I leave, if the Helian family cannot be found, they will definitely vent their anger on the family. That would not be good!"

He Nanshan said warmly: "Since the young lady has arranged it like this, there must be countermeasures. Fifth junior brother does not need to worry."

"I hope the Penglai Wang family can come here soon." Li Muchan nodded with a relaxed expression.

Zhao Yuzhen sighed: "Fifth Junior Brother, you have to be careful. The Helian family is notoriously difficult to deal with. I'm not sure whether the Wang family will stand up for you...Besides, even if the Wang family speaks out, the Helian family will not

I will hunt you down!"

Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile: "Come on then, I want to see what is so clever about the first company in the northwest!"

"Alas..." Zhao Yuzhen stood up, slapped the vermilion pillar hard, and said bitterly: "If you are not strong in martial arts, you can only let mermaids eat meat. What's the point of living like this?!"

The rest of the people were silent. They all felt a trace of resentment and unwillingness. In front of the Helian family, they were like ants and elephants, who could trample them to death with just one kick.

This feeling of powerlessness makes them painful and angry.

Zhao Yuzhen said in a deep voice: "Four junior brothers, no matter what, you can't be lazy when practicing, you have to work hard. If you don't work hard now, you will be dead in the future!"

The four of them were silent, and Li Muchan smiled and said: "First senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother, fourth senior brother, don't be so downcast. Maybe I am lucky enough to be able to stop the Helian family!"

The four of them forced a smile, feeling heavy and not taking it seriously at all.

The Helian family is here, and even the head of the family can't stop it, let alone him!

While they were talking, Jin Kaitai walked over, stood on the steps, squinted his eyes, glanced like lightning, and said in a deep voice: "Zhanran, come with me!"

The four people clasped their fists one after another, and Li Muchan saluted in unison.

Jin Kaitai waved his hands and said in a deep voice: "Don't be so chatty, I don't have time to talk!...Zhanran, don't waste time, hurry up and leave!"

Li Muchan nodded to Zhao Yuzhen and the others, and followed Jin Kaitai out of Tianshu Academy.

The two of them walked south along the edge of Ming Lake, passed through the whirling willow branches, and then turned west and arrived in front of the Jingyuan. Jin Kaitai opened the door and walked in.

This quiet garden is unique to Tianshu Academy, and no one else is allowed to enter except for the disciples of Tianshu Academy.

The garden is filled with rockeries, woods, wild grasses and flowers, and is full of life. It is an excellent place for meditating, regulating the breath, nourishing the body and enjoying the mood. Xiang Yuzhen and the others like it.

The two came to a small circular place in front of the rockery. Next to it was a weapons rack with a complete set of swords, guns and sticks, and on the other side were several stone locks.

The fragrance is faint and the greenery is abundant.

Jin Kaitai's steps were non-stop, like a bear walking, steady and heavy, but silent under his feet, showing a bit of agility and agility, obviously his body skills were extremely high.

Li Muchan didn't think that Jin Kaitai's body skills were good before, but he thought that his spirit was extraordinary. Now his skills have greatly improved, and his horizons have also greatly improved. Looking at Jin Kaitai's walking again, he realizes how wonderful it is.

Obviously, he has a unique footwork.

Jin Kaitai stopped in the middle of the small circular field, turned to look at Li Muchan, his eyes were bright: "Zhan Ran, I am going to teach you the Tianshu Sword Technique today!"

Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Tianshu Yuan Zhen Sect swordsmanship?"

"That's right!" Jin Kaitai nodded and showed a smile: "Just now, the lady personally ordered me to teach you this set of swordsmanship!"

"What should I do, Senior Brother?" Li Muchan frowned.

He suddenly remembered that only one disciple from each academy could practice Zhenyuan swordsmanship. The one in Yaoguang Academy was Senior Sister Gong, and the one in Tianshu Academy was Senior Brother Zhao Yuzhen.

If you learn it yourself, then senior brother cannot learn it again.

"Yu Zhen has already learned the Tianshu sword technique." Jin Kaitai said.

"This..." Li Muchan looked at him in surprise.

Jin Kaitai said in a deep voice: "In extraordinary times, we do extraordinary things. Although the eldest lady is strict, she is not a rigid person who doesn't know how to adapt!"

"Yes!" Li Muchan said no more.

Tianshu sword technique, the sword intention is taken from the Tianshu star in the Tiangang Beidou. The light is not visible, but it controls the other six stars, which is the center.

Tianshu's sword technique is gentle and calm, neither fast nor slow, but taking the lead step by step, just like marching to settle accounts, anticipating the enemy's opportunities and calculating all possible strategies.

This sword technique looks plain, but it is extremely difficult to practice.

After rehearsing three times in one go, Jin Kaitai put away his sword and sighed: "Among the swordsmanship of the Qiyuan Zhen sect, Tianshu swordsmanship is the most difficult to practice. It takes ten years and eight years to master it, and you can't figure it out!"

Li Muchan nodded slowly. This set of Tianshu swordsmanship indeed looked ordinary, but each sword contained strange changes. The more he thought about it, the more mysterious it became.

Seeing him frowning and thinking, Jin Kaitai said: "This set of swordsmanship is the most important thing about understanding. In fact, it is the most suitable for you to practice this swordsmanship. Unfortunately, you practice it too early...it is not a good thing to encourage others!"

Li Muchan nodded, understanding what he meant.

This set of Tianshu swordsmanship may seem plain and unremarkable at first glance, but the more you think about it, the more wonderful it becomes, and every move contains something inexplicable.

If I had never seen the Qiankun Sword Technique, experienced a few fights, or changed into a bodyguard, I would not have been able to appreciate this mystery.

"Practice and see." Jin Kaitai said, handing over the sword.

Li Muchan had completely memorized it, took the sword, and slowly made gestures, as if he was practicing Tai Chi sword. He made a few gestures, then slowly stopped, thought about it, and made a few more lazy gestures.
