I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Li Mu stood in the yard, thinking about the "Art of Hidden Blade" mental method that Li Ling'er had read to him before, and used his fingers to make a sword, imitating Li Ling'er's movements in the carriage and began to imitate them.

Xiao Zhao, who arrived later, looked at Li Mu, who was gesturing awkwardly in the yard, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"This is the Kung Fu that you learned at Qingfeng Temple. The old immortal has been using this inferior swordsmanship to deceive our young master for so many years. It's a pity that he has suffered so much for so many years."

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and I clenched my fists tightly.

At this moment, a light laugh suddenly came from outside the yard.

Li Ling'er stood outside the waist-high bamboo wall and said sarcastically:

"Second brother is really hardworking, getting up so early to practice martial arts."

Li Mu turned his head to look at Li Ling'er, then looked at his own courtyard gate, muttering in his heart

"Your wall is not even as high as my bird. What's the point of having this door? There's no privacy at all."

Li Ling'er saw the impatience in Li Mu's eyes and felt even more unhappy.

I don't know what I was thinking yesterday. Seeing Li Mu staring at Xiao Zhao, I actually gave Xiao Zhao to him. I even had an argument with Li Wu about this.

Seeing Li Mu's clumsy appearance, he couldn't understand how Li Mu blocked the sword of the assassin in the bamboo hat and saved himself at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain that day.

The more Li Ling'er thought about it, the more headache she had. Looking at the 'Second Brother' in front of her, she disliked him even more.

So he said coldly:

"I have to go out of the house for something. Second brother, just stay in the courtyard to recover from your injuries. No one needs to come to see you."

After saying this, Li Linger glanced at Xiao Zhao who was standing in the distance, and saw anger in his eyes, and she felt mixed emotions.

Then he turned and left.

Li Mu clearly understood the meaning of Li Ling'er's words, and felt aggrieved.

"What have I done to offend anyone? If I could beat you, I would have run away long ago. I will make cement and cannons when I get out. I don't want you to dare to peek at me taking a bath."

Xiao Zhao was also very confused when she saw Li Ling'er's attitude towards Li Mu.

"The young lady was obviously very happy when she knew that the second young master could go down the mountain and return home. Why is she so happy now..."

"Xiao Zhao, go get the bamboo slips I brought back yesterday."

Li Mu complained a few words in his heart, then instructed Xiao Zhao, thinking about studying the contents of the bamboo slips himself.

Xiao Zhao hurried back to the house and returned a moment later.

He handed two old bamboo slips to Li Mu.

Li Mu took the bamboo slips, looked at the sides of the two slips, handed the one with Chinese characters written on it back to Xiao Zhao, and opened the other one to read.

Thinking about what Li Ling'er had read to him before, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"That's okay!"

Li Mu discovered that he matched what Li Ling'er had read to him before with the words on the bamboo slips one by one. With his inhuman memory, he memorized all the words on the bamboo slips in his mind.

"It turns out that my photographic memory is my golden finger. It's a little low, but it's better than nothing. With this knowledge, I can escape from the palace without even noticing a street sign."

Thinking of this, Li Mu quickly scanned the sword moves that followed and found that what Li Linger was demonstrating at the time was even worse than the copycat version and was completely fooling him.

How could he know that Li Ling'er was just curious at first and didn't think she could learn it at all, let alone teach him seriously. She just gestured casually but it was just a habit for people who practiced martial arts.

Li Mu confirmed that he had memorized all the sword moves, and as he thought about the mental method in his mind, his body began to move.

As he performed sword moves one after another, Li Mu felt as if there was a new kind of power in his body, guided by his thoughts.

The next moment, Li Mu's fingers moved from bottom to top, and then there was a loud bang in the air.

Seeing this, Li Mu stared blankly at the scene in front of him, then looked down at his fingers, and was unable to come back to his senses for a while.

Xiao Zhao was also stunned when she saw this scene. Her eyes were full of little stars and her lips were slightly open, looking very adorable.

"So the young master cares so much about the young lady. The young lady just got angry and the young master suddenly realized it."

Xiao Zhao took Li Mu's surprise just now as an epiphany of martial arts. If he knew that Li Mu was surprised that he would no longer be illiterate, he would not know what to think. The two of them were completely on different channels.

Afterwards, Li Mu practiced it many times again, and it was no different from before.

He just wanted to strike out with that last, seemingly powerful sword, and he would have to use all the previous moves again.

It’s just like the action list in a game. If you don’t complete the moves, you won’t be able to unleash the final big move.

"This is so un-martial!"

Li Mu complained in his heart and didn't know who to ask for advice.

This move looks very powerful, but when you think about it carefully, it is too impractical.

Who would stand there, waiting for someone to show off their skills and then use their ultimate move?

Looking at Xiao Zhao in the distance, he was about to ask, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

At this time, Xiao Zhao took out a handkerchief from her bosom and trotted towards Li Mu. Her figure was undulating, which made Li Mu's eyes twitch. He thought,

"I didn't realize this girl was so talented before. I actually fell asleep the moment I lay down last night. What a loss."

Xiao Zhao stood timidly in front of Li Mu, her face slightly red, she tiptoed lightly, holding a handkerchief in her right hand, wanting to help Li Mu wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Seeing the cute look of the little girl, Li Mu felt warm in his heart. He bowed slightly and put his forehead close to Xiao Zhao. He could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from the girl.

Xiao Zhao felt the hot breath coming from her neck and her face flushed red, but she still wiped the sweat off Li Mu seriously and did not dodge.

Seeing this, Li Mu stopped teasing Xiao Zhao and slowly stood up.

Xiao Zhao noticed Li Mu's action and quickly withdrew his hand. He lowered his head and said softly:

"Congratulations, young master. Once you have a sudden realization, it won't take long before you can enter the second level and condense the whirlwind energy."

Li Mu looked at the girl in front of him and thought,

"She is pretty, but she is too thin-skinned. If she could be more lively, she would be more charming. Charming?"

Li Mu came back to his senses in an instant, and put away the emotions on his face, pretending to ask casually:

"Xiao Zhao also understands this?"

This question seemed to hit Xiao Zhao's sore spot.

The little girl became very excited, and her previous shyness disappeared.

With his chin slightly raised, he began to chatter:

"Xiao Zhao understands! Xiao Yu once said, 'A warrior reaches the twelfth realm and steps out of the human world.'"

Li Mu did not interrupt, but just listened attentively, trying to find some useful information from it.

I don’t know if the little girl is really naive or if she did it on purpose.

Li Mu easily got the information he wanted to know.

If you look closely, there is nothing special about the military men of the Xing Dynasty.

Usually, it starts with strengthening the body, and then divides into internal and external styles.

The internal school focuses on cultivating the true Qi in the body. Beginners can wrap the true Qi in weapons, which is called flowing Qi.

The more advanced ones are the qi condensed on the surface of the body, and the swirling qi produced when the true qi is released after it has reached perfection.

As for the first level of internal martial arts, Xiao Zhao didn't know much about it.

As for the external family, it is fist and palm weapons, from fourth level to first level, they are respectively, a glimpse of the inner workings, a mastery of the knowledge, making light of heavy tasks and returning to basics.

Li Mu could roughly understand it from the literal meaning, but when he asked Xiao Zhao what the specific difference was between them, Xiao Zhao hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain it clearly.

However, what interested Li Mu the most was actually the most basic physical training.

When one's body is refined to the third stage, it is the most obvious difference between ordinary people and warriors. Not only can one increase strength, but the ability to run and jump will also be greatly improved.

Li Mu had even begun to imagine himself climbing over eaves and walls.

The second level, which strengthens the five senses and six consciousnesses, should be similar to the concept of identifying positions by sound in martial arts novels.

Of course, Li Mu still couldn't get any information about the first stage from Xiao Zhao. He only heard that the first stage mainly trains the internal organs, which was beyond Xiao Zhao's understanding.

However, Li Mu was already very satisfied to be able to learn this information from a little maid.

Li Mu thought about it for a moment. Seeing Xiao Zhao was so serious about martial arts training, and thinking about how she pushed him several meters away yesterday, he asked:

"What is Xiao Zhao's current strength?"

"Level three!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao seemed a little shy and answered with his head down.
