As the sun sets, a curl of white smoke rises next to the calm lake.

Meng Xiuyuan sat quietly by the fire and watched Lu Miaozi roasting two hares with his own hands.

A gust of evening wind blew from the lake, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat.

Lu Miaozi came forward slightly and smelled it, then smiled at Meng Xiuyuan with satisfaction and said:

"Little brother, my roasted rabbit will be ready soon.

You have to try it later and see how my skills compare to yours..."

Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, nodded, and did not answer. He just jumped up, picked some ripe wild fruits from the surrounding woods, washed them in the lake, and brought them back for dinner.

In half an afternoon, the old man and the young man had become quite familiar with each other and were very comfortable getting along with each other.

Lu Miaozi was a strange man, well-informed, and he knew a lot about everything he talked about. Although Meng Xiuyuan restrained himself a little because of his age, there was still a rare rapport between the two of them when they chatted.

.

Especially in terms of magic, the two discussed a lot, and each of them was frightened by the other's high level.

"Little brother, I really can't understand.

How could a genius like you, who is rare to be seen in a hundred years, embarrass himself and hide in such an inconspicuous little restaurant?

Is this the training arranged by your master for you?"

Lu Miaozi handed a roasted hare to Meng Xiuyuan, and at the same time asked openly about Meng Xiuyuan's life experience.

As he spoke, he was still quite curious about Meng Xiuyuan’s inheritance.

"Old sir, good craftsmanship..."

Meng Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and didn't care too much. He first praised Lu Miaozi's roasted hare and then answered:

"Working in a restaurant is nothing more than training.

It's just a matter of finding a place to stay for a while.

It is natural to support oneself by one's own efforts, so there is no need to feel wronged."

Lu Miaozi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then laughed loudly and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Haha, little brother is really a wonderful person.

I thought you were just talented and well-informed, but I didn't expect that your xinxing was also so outstanding.

I am now more and more certain that your master must be a rare master..."

At this point, Lu Miaozi's voice turned slightly lower, and then he continued to Meng Xiuyuan:

"I see that although my little brother is young, he is quite low-key in his words and deeds. He is obviously a cautious person.

Hiding in this small restaurant is probably to avoid being noticed.

To put it this way, I was too reckless to interrupt.

If I make such a fuss today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my little brother to stay in this town any longer..."

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head again when he heard this, and said to Lu Miaozi nonchalantly:

"The old gentleman said it carefully, there is no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing.

I have already made plans to travel far away in the next few days..."

Meng Xiuyuan had no intention of experiencing a hard life, so living in this small restaurant was a stopgap choice in the early stage of awakening.

Although Boss Zhang and his wife were nice people, they did not treat Meng Xiuyuan too harshly, but after all, things in the restaurant were complicated. They got up before dawn every day to work, greeting guests, washing dishes, and cleaning. These meaningless occupations of Meng Xiuyuan were

Too much precious time.

For several months, Meng Xiuyuan was doing odd jobs in that small restaurant while practicing Qigong painstakingly. Until recently, he had some ability to protect himself and no longer wanted to stay.

According to his plan, he was going to find a place deep in the mountains and old forests that were rarely visited, just like in his previous life, and practice with concentration for seven or eight years. Once he had some basic skills, he would go out to explore the world.

The reason why Meng Xiuyuan chatted so much with this old Mr. Lu Miaozi today was because he was not afraid of exposing his specialness. This was actually the reason why.

He could tell that this old gentleman's kung fu was not very powerful. Not to mention that he looked sane and righteous, and did not look like a bad person. Even if he was really malicious, he could not spare himself.

…

The sky was getting dark, and the wild fruits and roasted rabbits in their hands had been finished. Both of them had a free and easy character, so they said goodbye to each other immediately.

"Little brother, I, Lu Miaozi, have been traveling around the world for so many years, but not many people can catch my eye.

When I met you as a kid today, I felt quite attached to him.

Chatting with you for an afternoon is more interesting than those mediocre people say for a year and a half.

Even in terms of magic, I actually learned a lot of new things from you...

If you need help with anything in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Lu Miaozi looked at Meng Xiuyuan and said with a slight smile.

Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, cupped his hands towards Lu Miaozi, and said seriously:

"You're welcome, sir.

I also benefited a lot today.

I don’t know when I would have learned about many things if I hadn’t been reminded by my husband..."

This is not a polite statement. In fact, Meng Xiuyuan in this life is indeed the most confused compared to the previous two lives.

It has been several months since he saw through the mystery in the womb and recovered his memory.

But during this period, he asked many people in the small restaurant, but he couldn't determine what kind of world he had entered.

After all, it was just a quiet and peaceful Jiangnan town, too far away from Jianghu.

It wasn't until today that he got a hint from this old Mr. Lu Miaozi and figured out the situation.

The work "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is quite famous, but unfortunately Meng Xiuyuan has not been deeply impressed by it. Not only has he not read the original work, but he has only watched the TV series piecemeal when he was a teenager in his previous life.

After two lifetimes and decades, the plot in his memory has almost faded away. Meng Xiuyuan only remembers outstanding martial arts techniques such as "The Secret of Immortality" and "Cihang Sword Code", as well as the names of a few key figures.

Today he heard Lu Miaozi comment on the masters of the world and mentioned the names Ning Daoqi, Fu Cailin, and Bi Xuan, which really confirmed his current situation.

"Haha, then, little brother, let's meet again..."

While Lu Miaozi was joking and saying goodbye, he stretched out his hand to pat Meng Xiuyuan on the shoulder, but it was his inconspicuous movement that made Meng Xiuyuan suddenly alert.

"brush!"

Hearing the roar of the wind, Lu Miaozi's palms suddenly increased speed in mid-air and rushed towards Meng Xiuyuan's chest.

After all, Meng Xiuyuan had two lifetimes of experience against the enemy, and he discovered his intention earlier. He immediately stepped on his toes harder, causing the soil under his feet to explode and fly, and then used this force to suddenly retreat three feet away.

"Old sir, what do you mean?"

Meng Xiuyuan looked at the old man opposite with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.

He could see that the opponent's move only had the intention of controlling the enemy, but not murderous intent, so he wanted to ask the matter clearly.

Unexpectedly, Nalu Miaozi didn't even want to explain even half a word. After missing a single blow, he immediately used Qinggong again and attacked Meng Xiuyuan like a big bird.

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan didn't have any body-protecting Qi in his body. Although his internal organs had been tempered to be very tough, he was unwilling to go head-to-head with such a master who could hurt people with his inner strength.

Immediately, Meng Xiuyuan displayed his true kung fu, kicking with a pair of legs containing explosive power, which actually cracked the ground under his feet. In the flying dust, his figure was as fast as lightning, and with just the strength of his physical body, he was in a blink of an eye.

In a moment, he pushed Lu Miaozi far away.

Seeing this scene, Lu Miaozi was shocked, and a trace of hesitation flashed across his face. It could be seen that he was quite entangled in his heart. However, after a moment, he still looked solemn, and immediately flicked his sleeves and rolled up a piece of dozens of kilograms.

The heavy bluestone hit Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiu saw the situation, but still did not resist. He sidestepped for a moment, and when the bluestone flew to his side, he suddenly struck it to pieces with a palm, and at the same time took many of its fragments into his arms.

The next moment, there was only the sound of countless "whooshing" sounds piercing the air. Meng Xiuyuan's hands flashed like phantoms, shooting countless bluestone fragments towards Naru Taeko using the technique of "Flicking the Magical Power".

The original version of this kung fu requires the coordination of the true energy to exert its maximum power. But at this time, Meng Xiuyuan used that terrifying physical power to inspire, and the power was equally impressive.

Countless rocks came like a storm, forcing Lu Miaozi to use all her energy and wave her sleeves to barely resist.

After all the gravel in his hand was used up, Meng Xiuyuan was about to make another move when he suddenly heard Nalu Miaozi say:

"Little brother, wait a minute.

It seems to me that your martial arts skills are not from the Yingui sect?"

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this and said in confusion:

"What Yingui sect?"

Lu Miaozi stared at Meng Xiuyuan's face carefully and saw that his expression did not look like he was faking it. He then recalled that he had used strange martial arts in the fight just now and kept his hands everywhere. After a long while, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and took the steel weapon that had been hidden in his hand.

The claws were retracted into the sleeves again.

"Little brother, I'm really sorry..."

Lu Miaozi immediately sat on the ground, calming down her slightly disturbed breath, and explained to Meng Xiuyuan apologetically:

"It's true that a peerless genius like you is too rare, and the origin of your apprenticeship is unknown, so I can't help but be cautious.
To be continued...
