There is melodious music, faint incense, ancient calligraphy and calligraphy, and green spider plants in the room, but the atmosphere is not as deadlocked as imagined.

The floor under your feet makes a slight creak with every step, which is very rhythmic and comfortable. Wang Jian even felt that he was not in a killing field in a foreign country, but in a century-old teahouse, where the fragrance of tea, flowers, and ink was mixed together, and there was an indescribable refreshment.

Slowly walking up to the second floor, Wang Jian's eyes was greeted by a very spacious hall, the hall also had a wooden floor, but there was no piece of furniture, but there were wooden stakes, wooden people and sandbags, as if it was a high-end and high-grade version of Wang Jian's martial arts museum.

In the middle of the martial arts hall, the person who had made Wang Jian look all the way was sitting there, dressed in a regular fighting uniform, with an incense burner in front of him, and the green smoke was gurgling out of it, looking light and ethereal in the huge hall.

He turned his back to Wang Jian, but as if he had eyes behind him, he raised his head for the first time on Wang Jian, and said softly: "The world is invincible, not really invincible." ”

"I don't know if I'm really invincible, but I know I'm your creditor today." After Wang Jian took off his shoes outside the door, he slowly walked in: "A debt from decades ago to the present, with interest. ”

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to take it." The old man gently stretched out his hand, pushed out the few books that had been wrapped, and then slowly turned his head: "Did the wind and dust along the way make you see more clearly?" ”

Wang Jian frowned, stepped forward, knelt on the futon like the old man according to etiquette, supported his knees with both hands, his waist was straight, and his eyes looked straight into the old man's eyes, without saying a word.

The old man shook his head with a smile, picked up a teacup with a bamboo clip, and re-washed the tea for Wang Jian. Then pour a full cup of tea.

The bitter aroma of the tea overwhelmed the incense in the room, and there was only a smell of tea left in the huge room in an instant.

"Tea is coarse tea, water is rough water." The old man smiled and stretched out his hand to Wang Jian: "Try it." ”

Wang Jian didn't doubt it at all, picked up the teacup and drank it all: "Not bad." ”

The old man looked Wang Jian up and down, smiled, raised his hand and poured another cup: "Do you know why you want to drink tea while it's hot?" Because hot tea needs to be drunk slowly, slow drinking can get its taste. Only taste it. This tea can be tea. Try again. ”

Wang Jian frowned, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, then took another sip. Sure enough, this time it was completely different from the taste just now, first it was the unique tingling feeling of this coarse tea, but then there was an indescribable bitterness. But after this bitterness is over, when it reaches the throat, there is an unprecedented sweetness. The tea is in the stomach, and then I take a cool breath through my nose, and when I exhale, the fragrance of tea that I didn't taste at all just now overflows my mouth and nose.

"Not bad."

"Life is like tea." The old man poured a third cup for Wang Jian: "First bitter and then sweet, and when you get old, you will be left with a room full of fen." ”

Wang Jian smiled playfully: "When you say this, don't you feel ashamed at all?" ”

"I was younger. I was crazier than you when I was younger, no, no, no, I was much crazier than you. The old man smiled and spread out his hands: "But a hundred years of life is just a flick of a finger." When the past came like a rising tide, I realized how ridiculous it was. ”

"Are you regretting it? It's late, I can't bring the tablet made by my master's hand, but ......," Wang Jian said, and took out a newly made tablet from the cloth bag behind him. Placed in a dignified position facing east and west: "I brought Master with me." ”

Seeing the handwriting painted with red paint on the tablet, the old man took a deep breath, straightened up, put his legs together and landed on his knees, put his hands in front of him with the backs of his hands facing down, and bowed three times with full prostration, each lasting more than five minutes.

"So many years. Do you have anything to say to Master? Wang Jian smiled cruelly: "You haven't forgotten the Shimen Codex, right?" ”

"Those who deceive teachers and destroy ancestors and treacherously will be killed." The old man slowly stood up, turned his head to look at Wang Jian: "I said, it depends on your ability." ”

Wang Jian closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "If you guess correctly." You are my grandfather and my senior brother, and Master did not expel you from the school. Therefore, I killed you, it is unfilial and unkind. According to the teacher's code, I will cut off my palm, which can be regarded as an explanation. ”

"You? Are you sure to kill me? ”

Wang Jian shrugged helplessly: "Anyway, today, only one of us can go out." ”

"You...... Don't want to know about your biological father? ”

"Does it matter? I don't want to know what I should know, and I don't want to know what I shouldn't. ”

The old man raised his head and looked at the ceiling: "In my life, there are only two people who are sorry, one is Master, I will go down one day sooner or later, and I will explain myself when the time comes." The other one is my daughter, your mother. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father, I used her as a tool to achieve my goals, I could even use my own flesh and blood, I don't think I really qualified to be a person. ”

Wang Jian didn't speak, he knew that in the face of such a master, if he was distracted, he would probably be killed in seconds, this was not the result he wanted, he came this time to settle the bills for many years, not to come here to sacrifice his life.

"Aren't you in a hurry to kill me? Then it's never too late to listen to me and say a few words. The old man poured himself a cup of tea: "Many years ago, I thought I could be the only mountain in the world. I'm superstitious about my own power, just like you. I was angry at Master's complacency, I was angry, I was annoyed, I couldn't listen to a word of what he said, do you know what he said when he saw me for the last time? ”

Wang Jian closed his eyes and shook his head silently: "I don't know." ”

He said that the mountain is not high, but clear and beautiful. The river is not wide, but calm. The sea is not big, but all-encompassing. I didn't understand at the time, and felt that he was no longer the wise man I admired, just a pathetic man who had been carried away by comfort. The old man silently lowered his head and smiled slightly: "So I am full of disdain for him." ”

"So, I did all the bad things for my hopes and dreams, because I wanted to be the highest mountain, the widest river, and the biggest sea. Unfortunately, I finally came to the end, and looking back, I was never a mountain, never a river, never a sea, I was nothing. Not even a son. Not a father, not a person. The old man muttered, as if talking to himself, "I used to want to live forever, so I devised to use my daughter to seduce my brother, your father, and then lure him into a demon, in order to get what he has." ”

"Then I devised to steal the final secret of the master. That secret that I didn't even know. But I was defeated by the master, and there was no suspense. He didn't kill me, he told me that one day in the future, I would bear the bitter consequences of what I did. I didn't know what the bitter fruit was, but I know now. The old man looked Wang Jian up and down: "You appeared." Is that right? ”

"Master, don't let me take revenge."

Wang Jian smiled slightly, and finally knew the reason why the old carpenter did not let him take revenge. This feud ...... For Wang Jian, it is definitely a fight between himself and himself, whether he wins or loses, it is not good for Wang Jian.

"You see, how similar we are. Master's words. You don't listen, but you do the opposite. The old man took out a pair of jade pendants from his pocket: "You can keep this, your mother prepared it for your brothers and sisters." It's just that I haven't given it to you yet, and I ruined my family. ”

Wang Jian silently accepted the two jade pendants, then gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay?" Can you start? ”

"Give me a little more time." The old man took out a horn comb and gently combed his hair: "After I was defeated by Master, I returned here. Entered the Heavenly Society and became Shanova's teacher. You know her, do you feel that she has a lot of similarities with you? That's right, that's it. I poured all my emotions as a father into her, and she was my most proud work and my most failed work. Because I didn't expect to be like this for her. When it comes to you, it's doomed. Promise me one thing, don't hurt her, she's a good boy. Good obedient boy. Some willful and a little sloppy, but at least she's just a poor girl imprisoned by reality. No matter what happens in the future, I don't ask for much, only that you will spare her life. ”

Wang Jian nodded: "I'll tell you the truth, I can't do anything to her." ”

"She does the same to you." After the old man finished speaking, he slowly stood up and moved away from the sea of tea: "Okay, let's start." ”

When the real old man stood up, Wang Jian realized that when this out-and-out bad guy went to that station, there was a wind-like feeling everywhere, unpredictable and impossible to fiddle with.

But he is like a boulder sharpened by the wind, looking extremely hard, but powerless to resist.

Standing up, Wang Jian gently closed his eyes, his hands were flat, as if standing on the mountain peak and feeling the breath of the wind, and did not rush to attack.

The old man smiled lightly, put one hand on Wang Jian's hand, and the two of them remained motionless, quietly waiting for the opportunity, waiting for each other's flaws.

Suddenly, Wang Jian's left foot moved slightly, and the old man's hand hit Wang Jian's left chest like lightning, Wang Jian didn't have time to react at all, so he was bounced out, and the huge force made him roll all the way on the ground, until he hit the wall before stopping.

"You're too slow, too slow." The old man shook his head and said, "Go back, you will be killed." ”

Wang Jian stood up from the ground without turning a deaf ear, coughed a few times to stretch the breath that was beaten and depressed in his body, and then slowly walked in front of the old man, continued to close his eyes and put his hand on his hand.

No one moved for a long time, but this time the old man's body shook slightly, and Wang Jian suddenly found the opportunity to punch him with all his might! Wang Jian, who thought he could punch the flesh, felt half cold the moment he stretched out his hand. Then, a soft force slapped on his fist, and then another fierce force hit Wang Jian's chest again.

Without any suspense, Wang Jian was beaten and rolled on the ground again, and this time it was more terrible than the last time, and a blood line gradually flowed out from the corner of Wang Jian's mouth, dripping on his dirty clothes.

He knelt on one knee, one hand covering his chest and gasping for air, but his eyes were always closed and his expression was indifferent.

"You are slow, not slow in your hands, but slow in your heart." The old man walked up to him with his hands behind his back and looked at Wang Jian condescendingly: "Your heart is blinded by something." There is too much prosperity in this world, and martial arts must not be interfered with in any way, as long as you still have a trace of thought, you will not be my opponent. ”

Wang Jian didn't answer, but just stood up again, and his strong body recovery ability allowed his injuries to be suppressed quickly.

But Wang Jian then found that no matter what method or move he used, as long as he made a move, he would be intercepted and counterattacked immediately, but the old man could find those untraceable loopholes on Wang Jian's body every time without warning, and then it was a fast, accurate and steady blow, and Wang Jian couldn't block the demolition move at all, so the tricks were straight and simple and neat.

When he was knocked to the ground for the fifteenth time, Wang Jian was close to his limit, but he still struggled to stand up, although he was panting, his expression remained the same, the pain made him more awake than ever, so awake that he could feel the flow of breath around him even when his eyes were closed.

Wait a minute! Wang Jian froze suddenly. He had never experienced this feeling before, a blank space after exhaustion had made him reach a state of complete emptiness for the first time, the darkness gradually ceased to be dark, and the surroundings gradually became clearer.

There is no longer a concept of face in his mind, just lines, the outline of the window, the outline of the room, the outline of the people in the room, and even he can see it clearly, as if there is a bug in the game and enters the perspective of God.

He quietly observed, silently manipulating his body towards the old man, and put his hand on the old man's hand again, but this time he could clearly see his own body and the other party's body.

After a while, he revealed a flaw that even he could clearly see, and the old man naturally found it, and hit it with a lightning blow, but this time, the movements that could not be captured at all were clearly visible in front of Wang Jian, and even the speed made Wang Jian feel incredibly slow.

He had even dodged the attack that he couldn't dodge anyway.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then took a step back, smiled, and slapped him. But what he didn't expect was that Wang Jian's body hadn't come over yet, and this move was originally unavoidable, but what the old man didn't expect was that Wang Jian suddenly freed up an arm and pressed his elbow joint against this palm, and the strength of the two sides suddenly canceled each other, and then there was silence.

And Wang Jian suddenly felt the feeling of the wind in his hand at that moment just now.
