The heat of summer makes the coolness of the night even more pleasant.

Ning Du and Hu Ran sat by the well to enjoy the shade, chatting with each other.

"Young master, you are so strange at noon today, you suddenly stopped moving, which made me worry for a long time. ”

Ning Du leaned back in his chair, looked at the night sky, and waited for a long time before replying. "Did you draw it today?"

"It's too hard to draw. Hu Ran sighed discouragedly, and looked at the night sky with his right hand on his cheek. "The clouds are so thin tonight, like torn marshmallows, they melt when they are blown. ”

"Go back to sleep. ”

"Young Master, what about you?"

"I think things. ”

"Oh. Hu Ran no longer went to care about Ning Du, and looked at the stars in the sky. She didn't have anything to think about, she just stared blankly, waiting for the young master to finish thinking about things.

At noon, when he was beside the Firefly Lake, Ning Du inexplicably and naturally broke through the second realm. He was wondering what the so-called difficult situation was like, and he was constantly verifying it with his own feelings.

The Empty Illumination Realm is a container that can completely control the flow of vitality in and out of itself, and if you add some cultivation methods on top of this, you can burst out with power far beyond ordinary people. Assuming that the amount of vitality that can be held in this container is full, what kind of way should we look for to have more vitality? There is no doubt that the more vitality we have, the stronger we are.

The realm of difficulty is to break through the upper limit of the human body's ability to accommodate vitality.

Almost everyone who is a practitioner can enter the difficult realm, but ninety percent of them will be stuck here. The original meaning of the difficult situation is to move forward with difficulty.

Ning Du looked at the night sky, his heart calming as he hoped. He still couldn't tell what the difficulty was. But he was clearly aware of his own difficulties, which should be much more difficult than others'. Others are difficult to climb the mountain, but he is difficult to dig mountain roads in the dark.

In addition to cultivation, Ning Du is also thinking about white blue and white.

If there is no mistake in perception, Bai Qinghua did not start to practice. From Ning Du's point of view, among the people he had seen in the entire heavenly capital, Bai Qinghua and Hu Ran's aura was the most similar to him, and the talents of these two people should not be too much inferior to him, but why didn't Bai Qinghua go to practice? Since Bai Qinghua didn't practice, why did he act as if he knew that Ning Du was about to break through the Second Realm, and left at the right time, was it just a coincidence? Why did Bai Qinghua let himself participate in the Dynasty of All Nations?

Ning Du couldn't figure out these questions, and he didn't want to ask Bai Qinghua in person, so he put it away.

The sound of gnats sounded in the corner of the courtyard, and the voices of people floating in the distance also receded, and it seemed much quieter, and it was indeed a good night for thinking.

"Hu Ran, I slept here tonight. Go back to sleep. Hu Ran, Hu Ran, Hu Ran......" Ning Du sighed helplessly, carried Hu Ran, who was already asleep, back to the house, lay alone in the courtyard and looked at the night sky, and slowly fell asleep.

——

The candles in the White Deer Cave burned out again, and the scholar immediately put on new candles to make sure that there were no people here, and the whole process was silent, only occasionally there was a slight cracking sound of the lamp oil, so that people could not notice that the candles had been replaced.

"He, how?" asked Mr. Zhang casually after teaching today's lesson.

Bai Yishi replied: "He can be the number one swordsman in the world." ”

"The number one person in the world can't be handed over. ”

"You also said that there are exceptions to everything. ”

"I'm just going to talk about it on paper, and in the end, it's up to you to decide. You have to remember that you can't be wrong. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Tomorrow learns 'vertical'. Mr. Zhang put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and his chin and beard slightly curled, and went out.

Bai Yishi sorted everything out, pondered for a moment, and closed the door. Back at his residence, he wrote down what he had done today. After a few strokes, he did not wash the pen immediately, but put it on the pen holder and sat in a chair to think quietly.

After a long time, Bai Yishi drew a sword on the paper and smiled.

"We're friends!"

——

The noisy sound in the restaurant penetrated the three floors, and when it reached the fourth floor, it lost its strength and scattered into a layer, as if it had put a messy background on the picture scroll. The light shines through the lattice window and prints old patterns on the floor, setting the tone of the painting. The night is dyed for a long time, and half of the silhouette of the person is set aside, which occupies most of the space and becomes the main body of the painting. The blue glaze with a dark color, Gu Zi is glowing with cold light, which can be regarded as decoration. The sound of babbling opera came, slamming lightly into the floating dust, adding a bit of oldness. Here, it is the ascending tower of Yulong Street.

"Ninth Master, I've been to see it. That person's realm is not high, it should be the second realm. Aside from cultivation, his skills are excellent. He first killed one person with a move similar to sword qi, and then killed ten people. After that, he went on a rampage, killing seventeen people almost instantly, all of which he did by himself. In the end, he shattered the short knife in his hand and stabbed the cultivator on the opposite side. There are two strange things here: one is that he can kill everyone with his cultivation, but he uses his skills, and the other is that he finally killed the other party with a shattered blade, which is not quite like to cover up his whereabouts. ”

Jun Jiuye was half-lying on the bench, showing a little old, swaying gently, closing his eyes to recuperate, thinking for a moment, without explaining these two questions, and asked, "Is it from Qingteng Garden?"

"Yes, he should have found Lao Qi and retreated to Qingteng Garden. ”

"Hmm. Then don't go and ask him. ”

"Ninth Master......" Xun Er wanted to speak and stopped. In his opinion, it is really unreasonable not to invite the other party.

"Second realm, sword qi kills. Only someone like Shang Chonggu can do it. ”

That person couldn't be Shang Chonggu, only his disciple. According to Shang Chonggu's temperament, he is extremely disgusted with these people in the gray area, and it is best not to stick a hot face to a cold ass. Xun Er immediately understood, and replied, "Understood, Ninth Master." ”

At this time, someone pushed the door and walked in, shouting happily, "Dad, I'm back!"

"Master, your injuries are not healed, don't walk around. Xun Er hurriedly went over to help Jun Yuangui, but was blocked by him.

Jun Yuangui waved his arm. said with a smile: "It's just a small injury, the second uncle doesn't have to worry." ”

I haven't seen my son for three years, but I was able to see each other today, Jun Jiuye's face did not show joy, and he said in a calm tone: "Sit, eat tea, and speak slowly if you have something to say." ”

Jun Yuangui sat down directly, and said excitedly: "Dad, you let me go out to travel for three years, I have grown a lot of knowledge and skills!"

"Eat tea. ”

The two simple words did not completely extinguish Jun Yuangui's enthusiasm, and he continued: "Dad, I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, and I can't wait to talk to you. Our Yulong Street has been trapped in Tiandu for too long, and it is long overdue to expand its territory. As soon as I came back this time, someone dared to attack me, which shows that the other party doesn't care about us at all. Dad, we can't go on like this. You listen to me about my plan ......"

Jun Jiuye interrupted: "Who do you think is going to kill you?"

"Tsing Yi Lane, small alley, fireworks lane, in addition to these three can compete with our Yulong Street, who else? I don't think the fireworks are likely to be big, the small alley lacks some ambition, and the eight achievements are Tsing Yi Lane. ”

Jun Jiuye raised his eyelids slightly, turned to look at Xun Er, and asked in a steady tone, "Second brother, what do you think?"

"Ninth Master, what the little master said is not wrong at all. We have all investigated clearly, it is the hands of the people in Tsing Yi Lane. Even though they invited people with no identity, they were still able to find them by clues. In addition, in the past few years, Tsing Yi Lane has also been actively expanding outward, and it is not once or twice that it has clashed with us. ”

Jun Jiuye closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep, and had no intention of saying any more.

"Dad, ......" Jun Yuan returned and wanted to say something more, but the second uncle patted him on the shoulder with his hand and signaled him not to say any more.

Jun Yuangui was a little disappointed, looked at his father, who seemed to be asleep, got up and saluted, and exited the room with his second uncle.

"Second uncle, am I not right, why does my father have such an attitude towards me?" Jun Yuangui couldn't understand, and there was anxiety in his tone.

Xun Er said patiently: "Master, why do you think the Ninth Master let you go out for three years?"

"Experience, in the future, we will be able to do a good job of our fish and dragon street. ”

"What are you going through?"

"Vision, courage, courage, behave in the world, and strategize. ”

"Do you think you're enough, sir?"

Jun Yuangui's mind suddenly became cold, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "It's not enough." ”

"Master, you are still young, and I was still doing chores in the south of the city when I was your age. Hold your breath and take your time, there's definitely a chance for you to make a difference. ”

"Thank you for the teachings of the second uncle, and keep it in mind when you return from afar. ”

"Okay, it's not early, you should rest early, pay attention to your injuries. ”

"Okay, second uncle. Jun Yuangui took two steps, remembered something again, turned around and asked, "By the way, second uncle, has the person who saved me yesterday found out? ”

Xun Er thought for a while and said, "Chaomingfang, Kexing Hutong, there is a person named Bingjian." Make such friends, don't bring identity. ”

"I know, second uncle, I'll see him tomorrow!" Jun Yuangui left in a hurry, as if there was always a package of things waiting for him to do.
