Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xin Yu's back in surprise. There was also Xin Yu's little sister in surprise. She was the fifth time to pour wine, but found that Zhang Xuan's bowl was much less than others. She blinked and looked at her sister in confusion, and then smiled and filled the wine for Zhang Xuan. ∽↗

After the five girls finished the drink, they saluted the guests again, their pretty faces were covered with redness, and they all retreated, and the tent became lively again.

Chai Shao gently twisted Zhang Xuan with his arm, and asked in a low voice: "That... why didn't she pour you wine?"

Zhang Xuan touched her nose and smiled bitterly: "I guess she is still angry with me. I let the Long Ji Kun she was about to catch."

"Then try the second one!"

Chai Shao covered his mouth and smiled: "The second one is obviously interesting to you-"

Zhang Xuan coughed heavily and interrupted Chai Shao's words. He turned his head and asked Tule loudly, "May I ask the chief, will the Turks take revenge on the club?"

This is also a question that everyone is concerned about. Everyone looked at Tule. Tule's face became a little gloomy. He said coldly: "This is something that happens frequently. Every year to fight the tax sheep increase, we and the Turks have to fight a war. This is the grassland, for pastures, water sources, women, cattle and sheep. War is common, and death is glory. Two of my five daughters became widows."

Zhang Xuan also wanted to test the military armor. When he saw Li Jing winking at him, he smiled and said nothing more, and raised his wine to toast a bowl of wine to Tule.

.........

The Tiel people, like the Turkish customs, had banquets for distinguished guests lasted for two days and two nights, but it did not mean that they would sit next to the banquet at all times. Except for the two big banquets at noon and evening, they spent the rest of the time leisurely.

Zhang Xuan's camp covers an area of ​​half an acre, consisting of two parts: inside and outside. The inside is a tent, and the outside is a living place, filled with various expensive items, such as gold and silver utensils from Sogdians and carpets from Persia, as well as porcelain and Shu embroidery from the Central Plains, making the tent wide but not empty.

Zhang Xuan sat at the small table and carefully looked at the iron gun he used for the first time today. The iron gun was 12 feet long, with smooth lines and sharp guns. The weight of fifty kilograms was much lighter for him. This was the effect he achieved after the first time he focused his strength and made it significantly improved his strength.

At this time, a low voice came from outside the tent, "Young Master Zhang, can I come in?"

The voice was very strange, but it was a Han Chinese. Zhang Xuan immediately said: "Please come in!"

As soon as the curtain was raised, a majestic figure appeared at the door of the tent. He was covered in a curly beard and powerful. It turned out to be Zhang Zhongjian. After a fierce battle today, Zhang Xuan just greeted him under the introduction of Chai Shao, but did not have a deep conversation.

Zhang Xuan quickly stood up, bowed and smiled, "It turns out it's Brother Zhongjian, Zhang Xuan is rude."

Zhang Zhongjian also bowed to him and smiled and said, "Congratulations to young master for breaking through!"

"Is Sichang telling Brother Zhongjian?"

"No! I can see."

Zhang Zhongjian looked into his eyes and said, "Your gaze is much clearer and brighter than last time. This is an important sign of a breakthrough in focusing on the breakthrough."

"Brother Zhang, please sit down!"

Zhang Xuan has always been grateful to Zhang Zhongjian. If it weren't for the bluestone scripture he gave him, how could he have turned back to reshape his muscles and bones after he was twenty-two years old? Zhang Xuan hurriedly packed up the bowls and plates on the table and asked Zhang Zhongjian to sit down.

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head, "Go outside the tent, I want to try your progress!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I can't ask for it!"

He picked up a blunt knife next to him. It was a 15-pound heavy knife. I wonder where Cheng Yaojin got it for him.

"please!"

Zhang Zhongjian quickly walked out of the tent, Zhang Zhongjian pulled out his two halberds from the war horse and smiled and said, "Come on! Just like last time, use all your strength to chop down."

Zhang Xuan slowly moved his shoulders to fill his strength in an instant. He shouted loudly, jumped high, and slashed at Zhang Zhongjian like a thunderous thunder. The wave of air coming towards him suffocated Zhang Zhongjian's breathing, and he also shouted, "Good come!" The double halberd lattice blocked outwards.

With a sharp sound, Zhang Xuan felt a wave of overwhelming force coming. He was shocked and took five or six steps in a row. His arms were numb and his mouth hurt severely, but this time the knife did not escape.

Zhang Zhongjian also took two steps back, looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise, nodded, put the two halberds back into the war horse, and waved his hand, "It's enough, please!"

Zhang Xuan still noticed the gap between them. He couldn't help but feel depressed. He turned around and returned to the big tent. The two sat down at the table. Zhang Zhongjian sighed with emotion: "Why didn't I expect my brother to succeed?"

"Does Brother Zhongjian think I can't succeed?"

Zhang Zhongjian nodded, "It is useless to give you the bluestone scriptures. You have to practice hard in the extremely cold place for two months before you can break through. Ten years ago, I went to the bitter cold place near the Beihai for a winter to practice for one winter before I achieved the first breakthrough. I also used ten purple insect jade pupas, but I only gave you two, and it is early summer now, how could you succeed?"

Zhang Zhongjian stared at Zhang Xuan with confusion. When he first met Zhang Xuan in the morning, he was really shocked. He never dreamed that Zhang Xuan would succeed.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "This is Li Jing's credit."

Zhang Xuan told Zhang Zhongjian in detail how Li Jing guided him to reduce the weight and allowed him to make a breakthrough after practicing at the bottom of the Shuihe River.

Zhang Zhongjian's eyes became more and more surprised. It took more than ten years of repeated experiments by his master Ziyang to complete the Bluestone Sutra. But even the master could not think of a way to achieve success by reducing medicine. He needed to master the efficacy and dosage of each medicine, and to have a very deep understanding of pharmacology and Bluestone Sutra, but Li Jing actually did it.

He sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that there was such a wise man in the world who could break the secret of the Blue Stone Sutra. I want to make friends with this person."

A strange thought arose in Zhang Xuan's mind. Did the friendship between the bearded guest and Li Jing start because of his introduction?

However, at this time, Zhang Xuan didn't care about exploring such trivial matters. He had too many questions in his mind to ask Zhang Zhongjian for answers. He hurriedly asked: "I've only made a breakthrough for the first time. Can I make another breakthrough in the future?"

"sure!"

Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "There are four practice pictures on the Blue Stone Sutra, which means that you can break through four times at most, but how many times you can break through vary from person to person. I have only broken through three times. This is my limit. The technique of gathering strength can break through four times. As far as I know, there are only three in the world."

"Is Shi Wansui the same person?"

"He is the first person, and in fact he is also my uncle. Unfortunately, he died unjustly. The second person is Yuwen Chengdu. He is Yu Juluo's apprentice. Yu Juluo himself has only made three breakthroughs, but he has accepted a good apprentice."

At this time, Zhang Xuan thought and asked tentatively: "Is the third person Li Xuanba?"

Zhang Zhongjian smiled in surprise and said, "How do you know?"

"I heard from Li Shentong that his nephew practiced martial arts at Ziyang Zhenren."

"He couldn't know that my master has been secretly cultivating Xuanba. Except for very few people who know Xuanba's achievements, it is impossible for outsiders to know."

Zhang Zhongjian was puzzled, how could Zhang Xuan know? Could it be that Xuan Ba ​​himself revealed the secret to his family?

"Li Shentong just said that his nephew has made great achievements in martial arts practice, so I just randomly guessed that my brother should not be surprised."

Zhang Xuan said that he misunderstood and hurriedly covered up in a vague way. Zhang Zhongjian thought about it. Perhaps Zhang Xuan was really guessing it unintentionally. He stopped asking questions and said to Zhang Xuan again: "The key to the Blue Stone Sutra is the first breakthrough. As long as you break through the first time, it will be much easier for the next few times. Of course, if you have poor qualifications, you will not be able to break through the first time. Ordinary people cannot withstand the torture of the extraordinary heat in their bodies. At the very least, they will be disabled for life, and at worst they will die. If you succeed for the first time, you can at least break through again."

"When usually comes? I mean the second time."

"It will come soon, and it will be unconsciously, but I believe you won't be as ecstasy as you did when you first break through."

"Why?" Zhang Xuan asked in confusion.

"There is nothing to explain, maybe it is a state of mind! If a person succeeds more often, he will become numb. The most unforgettable thing is always the first time he succeeds."

Zhang Xuan nodded. He could fully understand Zhang Zhongjian's explanation. At this time, he remembered something again and asked quickly: "There is also the purple insect jade pupa, where can I get it?"

Zhang Zhongjian smiled slightly, "This is a big problem! It is the key to practicing the Blue Stone Sutra. In fact, the purple insect jade pupa is the name given by my master. If you buy it in the Turks, you must say that you buy ice slag worms. They don't know what the purple insect jade pupa is."

Zhang Zhongjian took out a small crystal bottle from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xuan, "I got it from a Turkic family last month. Unfortunately, there are only two ones. I don't need it anymore. I'll give it to you! You can only find the rest yourself."

Zhang Xuan hurriedly took the bottle, "Thank you brother for your kindness!"

He raised the bottle high and stared at the purple juice in the bottle, feeling a little regretful, but unfortunately there were only two.

Zhang Zhongjian patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "You can break through with only two purple insects. This shows how high your qualifications are. If you practice hard, I believe you will surpass me."

Zhang Zhongjian stood up and smiled and said, "I'll get to know Li Jing and see if he can help me solve some of the questions in my heart. In addition, since we are destined to be, I'll give you another treasure."

He took out a scroll from his arms and placed it on the table, laughed, turned around and strode away from the tent.

Zhang Xuan picked up the yellow scroll and slowly unfolded it. He saw a line of large characters written on the top, "The Thirteen Essences of the Ji Method" and the Thirteen Pictures behind them, with dense annotations written next to them.
