The whole body of the dragon-slaying sword is made of black iron, so it is difficult to damage. However, when the back of the sword is exactly seven inches away from the hilt, the edge of the Yitian Sword, which is seven inches away from the hilt, is slowly cut into it, and serrations appear on the sword.

Meng Xiu saw this situation and knew that he had found the right method. He immediately continued to sharpen the saw slowly, and sure enough, he saw that the gaps in each sword were being sharpened deeper and deeper.

After a long while, there were two "snaps" without warning, and one sword and the other suddenly broke at the same time, and each fell to the ground.

"Master, what are you doing?!"

Seeing such a situation, Zhou Zhiruo felt very confused.

She didn't understand why Meng Xiuyuan destroyed these two magical weapons together. She also didn't understand how Meng Xiuyuan could break these two extremely strong weapons without using much force.

Meng Xiuyuan did not explain to her, but directly picked up the two broken blades. Sure enough, he saw that the broken edges were hollow, and there was a black iron piece hidden in each sword.

Among them, the black iron piece in the Yitian Sword was relatively small. After Meng Xiuyuan took a look at it, he stretched out his hand and handed it to Zhou Zhiruo, leaving only the large black iron piece in the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand.

Zhou Zhiruo subconsciously took it, and her first impression was that the black iron sheet was made of a special material and was almost five times as heavy as ordinary steel of the same size.

If you look closely, you can see seven small characters "Pudu Shandong Peach Blossom Island" etched on the front of the black iron piece. Turn over and look at the back, there are four rows of sixteen small characters:

Wu Mu's suicide note

Nine Yin Manual

Drive Hu Baomin

It's for orders

Zhou Zhiruo didn't know the reason and wanted to ask again, but Meng Xiuyuan was one step ahead of her and explained:

"'The supreme king of martial arts, he slays the dragon with his precious sword. When he orders the world, no one dares to disobey him. If he cannot rely on the sky, who can compete with him?'

This slogan that has been circulated for many years is actually just a last resort.

What we do is not to fight for hegemony in the rivers and lakes or to dominate the martial arts, but to drive away the Tartars for the people of the world and return our rivers and mountains."

With that said, Meng Xiuyuan began to introduce to Zhou Zhiruo in detail the hidden story behind the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword.

From the time when Guo Jing and Huang Rong's family worked together to defend Xiangyang for thirty years, until it was difficult to reverse the trend, he and his wife decided to die to serve the country, and finally they put Wu Mu's suicide note and the Nine Yin Scriptures into their swords to help the Han people in the future.

A heroic helping hand.

Meng Xiuyuan eloquently explained the whole process, and Zhou Zhiruo explained it in great detail.

Until the story was finished, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly asked Zhou Zhiruo:

"Do you know why I have to dismantle this sword with you and why I have to talk to you so much?"

Zhou Zhiruo was stunned when he heard this, thought for a long time, and then said with some uncertainty:

"Master, do you want me to go with you to Peach Blossom Island to find these secrets on the art of war?"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, looking a little disappointed, looking at Zhou Zhiruo and said:

"No, I can go to Peach Blossom Island alone. It's not difficult to get the secret military manual.

But, I want you to know the meaning behind this sword, this secret book and the art of war.

Let this inspire you and never forget your original intention.

Didn't you once tell me that the knights you admire most are Guo Jing and Huang Rong?

I thought that if I told you this, you would be moved by it.

Why, you don’t even remember?”

"Well..." Zhou Zhiruo wanted to answer something, but she looked too panicked and couldn't say anything.

Looking back now, she did say such words to Meng Xiuyuan, but at that time she only heard that Meng Xiuyuan respected these two heroes the most, so she echoed what her master said.

But he didn't expect that Meng Xiuyuan would think of it again today.

Seeing her like this, Meng Xiu shook his head helplessly and asked softly:

"Zhiruo, do you remember how I tested you before you started?"

Zhou Zhiruo nodded quickly and responded:

"Of course I remember.

Master gave me a diary, which contains stories about Master's heroic deeds, punishing rape and eradicating evil. Let me read the contents and find out where Master is wrong.

I still keep that book carefully and do not dare to lose it or damage it."

Meng Xiuyuan heard the sound and then asked again:

"Then do you remember how you answered me at that time?"

"Answer..." Zhou Zhiruo was suddenly asked by Meng Xiuyuan and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She thought about it carefully, but because it had been so long, her memory was a little blurry.

Meng Xiu saw the situation, took a deep breath, then looked into Zhou Zhiruo's eyes and said seriously:

"You told me at that time that the evildoers in that book had done many evil things and all of them deserved to die.

If you can learn this lesson in the future, you will be like me, punishing evil and promoting good.

Have you forgotten all of this?"

Zhou Zhiruo heard this and quickly shook his head in defense:

"Where, Master, how could I forget...

I just don’t understand why you suddenly said this, did I do something wrong?”

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiruo even felt a little aggrieved. She didn't know why Meng Xiuyuan's temperament had changed since he came back from drinking with the Mongolian princess.

The secret secret is that the coquettish foreign girl must have given the master some kind of ecstasy.

Seeing Zhou Zhiruo still looking like this, Meng Xiuyuan sighed and said in a deep voice:

"No, Zhiruo, it's because I've been busy practicing martial arts these years and neglected to teach you.

I only taught you martial arts, but I forgot to teach you more principles, and I forgot to let you go out and see the world more.

Now, compared to you, the Mongolian princess you mentioned is more like my disciple."

While talking, Meng Xiuyuan stood up and took off the Zhenwu sword hanging on the wall, and solemnly placed it in Zhou Zhiruo's hand:

"I took you in and taught you martial arts because I want you to pass on my ideas and skills.

Let you live your life well and achieve your own career.

Instead of letting you hang around me all day long... your heart is focused on me as the master.

Do you understand, Zhiruo?"
