From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 139 Burning Heart
The sunset is beautiful and the breeze is blowing.

It is like sitting in front of a low desk with a backrest behind you, looking lazy.

"Sit down and talk." Ying Rushi didn't tie her hair up. She moved her head slightly and pointed her chin at the opposite side.

Meng Yuan immediately stepped forward and knelt opposite him, with a low table between them.

The low table was cluttered with various books and a single candle covered with a gauze.

Having suffered losses before, Meng Yuan did not show any covetousness this time. Instead, he lowered his eyebrows, not looking into Ying Rushi's eyes, but only looking below her neck.

After bathing, he was lazy, wearing loose robe and plain clothes, which made him look a little different.

It can be seen that Hu Qian's mother did contribute, and the third young lady has also tasted the benefits.

Meng Yuan immediately talked about his trip to Qishui Town, and explained everything about Yang Youzhi and even the trouble caused by Monk Xuanzhen, only skipping the killing of Huang Yousheng and Chou Bulai.

Of course, killing is to protect life. Even if Meng Yuan said so, the third lady knew that Meng Yuan was innocent.

"From what you said, it was Yang Youzhi who was unable to control his lust, which is why he showed his true colors." After listening to the whole story, Ying Ru commented, "It can be seen that greed can blind people's minds, and the same is true for lust."

"I guess it's because he has been suppressing himself for too long and he is too arrogant, which is why he failed." Meng Yuan said.

"You should also use people as a mirror." It should be said like this.

"I'll keep it in mind!" Meng Yuan agreed, but he didn't quite agree in his heart.

Meng Yuan leaned forward a little, lowered his voice and said, "The location of the July Seven Taoist Conference is not far from Qishui Town. Yang Youzhi is from the Yang family, and the Yang family seems to have some dealings with Prince Xin."

Seeing that the third young lady was silent, Meng Yuan started talking about Yang Huaiyi, then about her chance encounter with Liu Dabao, and finally about Yang Youzhi.

Anyway, there is no definite evidence, but the people of the Yang family are indeed concerned about Qing Guangzi's matter and are basically following the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau.

If Prince Xin is really behind the Yang family, then Prince Xin may also be paying attention to the matter of Qing Guangzi.

There may be other causes and effects involved, but Meng Yuan cannot see through it clearly.

"Miss Third, what is the realm of Prince Xin?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

“I heard that he just broke through to the fifth level of martial arts.” It was getting dark, and Ying Rushi pushed her hair behind her ears.

Heard? This was a very distant statement, as if we hadn't seen each other for a long time, not even through letters.

Meng Yuan didn't dare to show any other thoughts.

You should say: "You are too far away from him, don't have any other thoughts in your mind."

"I will study hard and become the third lady's true bodyguard as soon as possible!" Meng Yuan said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Ying Rushi raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She felt that Meng Yuan's words were very strange, as if he was saying that Prince Xin was a fake guard and he should be a real guard.

But judging from his appearance, this future true guard didn't have any good intentions.

"Dugu Kang regarded you as his close friend, and the two of you wrote poems together, but you didn't learn even a single bit of his strengths." This is what you should say.

"Yes," Meng Yuan agreed immediately, "I will also be compassionate and not kill any living things from now on."

"Okay." Seeing that this man was shameless and rogue, playing tricks that made people unable to understand him, Ying Rushi waved her hand and said, "Don't investigate the matter between Prince Xin and Yang."

Seeing that Meng Yuan was a little puzzled, she said, "It's too dangerous."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Third." Meng Yuan now knew that the Third Miss had him in her heart.

"Is there anything else?" Ying Rushi put one hand between her eyebrows, looking a little tired and helpless.

"Miss Third." Meng Yuan leaned forward again and said, "I heard that a warrior can open another Dantian, and then he can stimulate two kinds of divine powers at the same time. I also heard that it is possible to expand the Dantian, making it larger and the jade liquid more condensed."

Ying Rushi propped up the low table with his hands, tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, and said, "Go find Nie Yannian. He must have made some arrangements."

"What if there is no arrangement?" Meng Yuan knew that although Master Nie looked rude, he was actually very meticulous and might have made some arrangements.

"If he didn't make any arrangements, it means you didn't coax Nie Qingqing well." Ying said.

That's fine, Sister Qingqing has already coaxed her out of bed and out of bed. "Anything else?" Ying Rushi asked.

Seeing that they were about to drive him away, Meng Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Miss Third, I feel overwhelmed while I am away this time. I have to accompany Miss Mingyue again at the beginning of next month, and I..."

"You think you are incompetent and have lost my face?" Ying Rushi continued Meng Yuan's words with a smile on her face. "You first tricked a copy of the Heaven's Secret Map from Mingyue, and then took another copy from Dugu Kang. Finally, Master Meng has taken action against me."

Why does it feel so strange to say this? Meng Yuan looked up at Ying Rushi, only to see that there seemed to be ripples in her eyes, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

But the two of them were separated by a narrow table, and when their eyes met, Meng Yuan felt a little confused.

"What are you thinking about?" Ying Rushi frowned.

"..."Meng Yuan only thought about the etiquette between the humble and the noble, and did not think much about it.

"You have a courageous heart. I have prepared a scroll of the Heavenly Secret Map for you. However, your mind is not calm and you have opened too few acupoints. It is too early to start practicing." You should say so.

Is there such a reason? Meng Yuan felt as if his clothes had been taken off, but his life was not right.

"I was wrong." Meng Yuan admitted his mistake sincerely.

Seeing Meng Yuan admit his mistake so quickly, Ying Rushi said, "Just now I said to use people as a mirror, you really didn't take it to heart!"

She took out a piece of thin paper from her sleeve and said, "Since you want to open your Dantian again, you need to be calm, have great perseverance, and be fearless of difficulties."

"Burning heart?" Meng Yuan took the thin paper and looked at it carefully.

"I heard that you have a habit of burning yourself after killing your enemies. Your karma is burning you, and you can only save yourself by burning your heart. This method is in line with your heart and your actions."

Ying Rushi said slowly: "Burn your heart with fire, refine your nature with gold, when water and fire are in harmony, you will transcend the ordinary and become a saint."

"Miss Third is asking me to refine my heart with fire?" Meng Yuan understood.

You should nod slightly.

"Miss Third's advice is valuable and kind. I am deeply grateful and will keep it in mind." Meng Yuan agreed immediately.

Seeing that the Third Miss was silent and it was indeed late, Meng Yuan could not stay for long and stood up.

After bowing and leaving, Meng Yuan returned home.

The dining room was lit and bustling with activity. Hu Qian, Wu Changsheng and Tie Niu were all there.

The meal was ready, but no one ate it. It was obvious that they were waiting for Meng Yuan.

Jiang Tang had changed into casual clothes and was holding Xiangling in his arms. Hu Qian and the other two were sitting around and talking about Xiangling's small schoolbag.

"Let's eat!" Meng Yuan entered the room.

Uncle Jiang prepared some wine, and everyone ate and chatted.

After chatting for a while, Xiangling started talking about the poetry club and Hu Qian wanted to join it.

Xiangling was very excited and looked at Tieniu and Wu Changsheng. They looked at each other and nodded.

"It's not easy to join the society!" Xiangling looked at Hu Qian and the other two expectantly, "There's a group of geese at the foot of the mountain, and they were booed and driven into the river. You're right!"

Tie Niu didn't know many words and had no talent for poetry, so he just scratched his head. Wu Changsheng was an ambitious man who knew a lot of words, but he also lacked quick wit.

"Whoever has more goose eggs in his home can find their nest at night." Hu Qian came from a good family and had been a Taoist nun, so she did have some skills.

"You're quite good at this!" Xiangling was very happy. "Laobekeng Poetry Society needs talents like you!"

"Hello, President!" Hu Qian clasped her fists humbly.

"Hello, Member Hu." Xiangling returned the greeting.

Jiang Tang held his forehead with his hand, Tie Niu and Wu Changsheng were both very confused.
