The sky full of stars gradually sinks in the west, and the sky without stars is dark like the bottom of a pot, which is the darkness before dawn. Zhang Qiusheng got up, punched once, and did hundreds of push-ups. After dawn, you have to hide in the cat's container and exercise now. This is a habit that Zhang Qiusheng has cultivated for many years, and even during this period of smuggling, he is unremitting.

The man in the container was still meditating, and he had been like this since he had been on the boat, except for eating and drinking. Even if he eats and drinks, Zhang Qiusheng will eat it when he hands it to him, and if he doesn't hand it, he won't want it. Every time Zhang Qiusheng handed him something, he didn't open his eyes, but he knew that water or food was coming, so he stretched out his hand and took it. After eating and drinking, he didn't say a word of thanks, and immediately returned to his original state. This person is also a picky eater, and he doesn't eat ham sausages, luncheon, meat, instant noodles, etc., and only eats fruits and tomatoes.

Zhang Qiusheng suffered a tragic change since he was 16 years old, except for five years in the army, the rest of the time was spent in prison or on the rivers and lakes, and he was the most righteous. During the five years in the army, he was either training or carrying out special tasks, and the comradeship of life and death is also the most precious affection in the world. To friends and comrades-in-arms, Zhang Qiusheng has always given as much as he wants, and he has never said half a word. What's more, now his heart is like stagnant water, and the masters originally have some strange tempers.

Zhang Qiusheng didn't care about this person's grotesque behavior at all, what should he do.

Zhang Qiusheng returned to the container, picked up a bottle of water and handed it to the man, and when the man drank it in one gulp, he sent over another apple. Then I started eating breakfast on my own, and I spent so many days like this.

If you want to show other smugglers about the smuggling method like theirs, you will be infuriated. Others are smuggling away in airtight cabins or containers for fear of being discovered and starving. The air was turbid, even the feces and urine were solved on the spot, and the dead bodies were thrown into the sea. Zhang Qiusheng also exercised early, ate three meals a day, and looked up at the starry sky.

There are still three or four bottles of water left, and there is not much food, so it looks like we are going to steal it tonight. Zhang Qiusheng brought enough supplies for a month, so he took the risk of slipping up and down repeatedly. Isn't there one more person now, and it's over budget. Zhang Qiusheng drank water one sip at a time, and just replenished the necessary water. The man drank all the bottles one at a time, without any regard for the preciousness of fresh water on the sea. With Zhang Qiusheng's skills, it's okay to steal some supplies, he has already stolen them twice, and he doesn't care about stealing a few more times.

The person who had been meditating suddenly stood up and got out of the container. Zhang Qiusheng was a little surprised, but he didn't look at him, maybe he was going to be convenient. There's a problem here, it seems that this person has never been convenient for so many days. How did he do it? Zhang Qiusheng just thought about it, and didn't take it to heart.

After a while, the man returned. After a while, I went out again, and so on three or four times. When I came back for the last time, I sat opposite Zhang Qiusheng. This time, I didn't sit on my feet, but sat like an ordinary person. This is very abnormal, and what is even more abnormal is that this person spoke: "I see that you are based on the Twelve Roads Tan Leg and Little Red Fist, majoring in Baguazhang. Then I practiced judo, karate, taekwondo and other messy foreign martial arts, and also practiced military fighting and fighting, but I learned miscellaneous but never practiced internal skills, right? ”

This man does not speak without speaking, and there is so much to say when he says it. Zhang Qiusheng was a little dazed, he was exercising in the darkest period before dawn. Just punch and do push-ups as you like. This man never seemed to have come out to see it. How did he know, and still know so well? This is not called a master, so how can it be called a master? It's a pity that it's too late to see each other, if you have met this kind of master before, you have to worship him as a teacher. Now it's too late, and Zhang Qiusheng, whose heart is like stagnant water, drifting around aimlessly, has no goal to live, and no desire to apprentice. Still, he replied respectfully, "Yes." However, the master said that the sect originally had internal strength, but a hundred years ago, when the country was worried about internal and external troubles, the elders in the door died and disappeared, and the internal strength of the mind was lost. ”

This person listened to Zhang Qiusheng's answer, didn't speak, and walked out of the container with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Qiusheng also followed. He is a very strong-willed man, and no one has ever been able to sway his will except for the orders of the head of the troops. This time, it came out inexplicably.

The container they were hiding was on the upper deck near the bow, not far in front of a tall crane. The man looked at the sea with his hands behind his back and didn't speak, and Zhang Qiusheng stood behind him and didn't speak.

The day dawned, and the calm sea, like a pale blue satin, was printed against the light blue sky. Gradually, the sea turned red, redder and redder, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand rays of light radiated at the end of the sea, and the sky was also burned red. The sun showed half of its face against the backdrop of the red sea and red sky, slowly and slowly rising, rising, and suddenly jumping, and it was in the eastern half of the sky, sprinkling countless golden rays into the sea.

The two watched the sunrise silently, as if they were shocked by the magnificence of nature.

"Thank you for all these days to me, that, that" the man was choosing what words to use to express his gratitude.

Zhang Qiusheng heard this person thank him, and quickly said, "No thanks." It's true. When you're away from home, we're all friends. The transition to the same ship is all fate, not to mention that we are drifting across the ocean in the same boat. ”

As mentioned earlier, in the past 20 years, Zhang Qiusheng, except for five years in the army, the rest of the time is either a prison or a river and lake, no matter who he meets, he is called a friend, unless he is a rival, Zhang Qiusheng has no opponent but an enemy. He said that the man was just a friend on the rivers and lakes, and he didn't mean anything else.

The man listened to Zhang Qiusheng's words, paused for a moment, nodded and said, "Yuan, this is indeed Yuan." A smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "Friend, hehe, the old man has very few friends, and I still haven't seen each other for many years." Hehe, I didn't expect to have a friend before I died, hehe, hehe. ”

Talking, talking, how did you get to death? Zhang Qiusheng is confused. The hands were alive a few times, and then pointed at Zhang Qiusheng's head.

Zhang Qiusheng suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, as if there was something more in his brain. Zhang Qiusheng shook his head, but he didn't go to his heart. I heard the man say: "This is a set of internal strength and mental methods, and when you are older, it is impossible for you to practice to achieve great success." However, it's not bad to have a small success, and there are not many people who know how to work hard at present. I don't have time now, so I'll find a place to practice again when I go ashore. ”

Internal Strength? The legendary inner strength of the mind? Internal skills that only appear in martial arts novels, movies and television?

If Zhang Qiusheng had been before, he would definitely be excited, and he would have pushed the jade pillar and kowtowed to the teacher. But now he was out of interest. He has no goal to live, wandering across the ocean and aimlessly, and going to one place is one place. In his heart, he had decided that if someone beat him in the future, he would never fight back, and if someone wanted to kill him, as long as it was not too unreasonable, it would be better to let people kill him than to commit suicide. So, what's the use of being strong in martial arts?

In that person's life, I don't know how many people did not hesitate to break their heads in order to worship him as a teacher; In order to get his guidance one or two sentences, he was willing to make a cow and a horse. At this time, seeing that Zhang Qiusheng had obtained his internal strength, he was not excited at all, and he was still standing like that, and his expression on his face did not change at all.

Could it be that this young man has reached the state of having no joy or sorrow, no color and no appearance, no color and no self and no sentient beings? It doesn't look like it. The man wondered, the master is also a human being, isn't it?

"Don't like it?" The man finally asked, "It's put in, it's a little hard to pick it out." ”

Zhang Qiusheng shook his head. That's liking. Zhang Qiusheng still shook his head.

Tsk, that person is no longer wondering, but depressed. After thinking about it, he nodded: "Yes, it's the twenty-first century." No matter how powerful the martial arts are, can you still be more powerful than a gun? The carving insect skill is indeed the carving insect skill. ”

"No, no." Zhang Qiusheng was very embarrassed to see him say this, how many people have given you the coveted internal strength method, and you still have a straight face, and you are too uninteresting: "I like it very much, but I have already decided to quit martial arts, thank you for the kindness of the master." ”

"Quit martial arts?" It's a bit ridiculous: "And what about someone hitting you?" ”

"Then let him fight."

"And they're going to beat you to death?"

"It's better to kill and kill," Zhang Qiusheng said indispensably: "Suicide is a bit unacceptable." ”

Hey——, this kid was discouraged at a young age.

"Come, come, let's introduce myself first," the man said as he sat down, no longer staggering but sitting on the ground like an ordinary person, except that there was no ground here, it was just a hard and cold deck: "My surname is Zhang, my name is Daohan, and my word is Daguo." What about you? ”

"My name is Zhang Qiusheng. May I ask Master, which of your two names is your Dao number? "Poor baby, the real education is only a junior high school graduate, there is no culture, and I can't figure out the difference between a name, a character and a road number.

Zhang Daohan said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm not a Taoist monk, how can I have any Taoist numbers?" You are also surnamed Zhang, it seems that we are still a family. My old man lives at such an age, although he looks down on life and death, he is still a little greedy for red dust. Why are you so disheartened at such a young age? ”

yes, why am I so discouraged? But what if I'm not discouraged? Can a co-worker work in the sun like everyone else? Can you fall in love and get married like everyone else? Can you openly help the old lady cross the street?

Zhang Qiusheng was silent.

"People like me originally took life and death very lightly, and looking at it lightly does not mean ignoring life and death. Well, do you know what kind of person I am? Zhang Daohan said and suddenly asked such a sentence, you can't really talk without opening your heart, and it's not the way of friends, is it?

"I guess, I guess it's a cultivator, right?" Zhang Qiusheng really guessed when he saw people asking. It turned out that Zhang Daohan could conjure things out of thin air. With a gesture of both hands and a finger, the inner strength of the heart can be imprinted into his head. If you don't and pee for more than twenty days, you're not an ordinary person. Although Zhang Qiusheng doesn't often watch novels, movies and TV dramas, and doesn't often surf the Internet, it doesn't mean that he doesn't watch it once. In the era of information explosion, all kinds of information are drilled straight into people's heads. Xiuxian novels, Xiuxian film and television, Xiuxian online games, etc. Who is living now, especially young people, who doesn't know about cultivating the truth? It's just that no one thinks it's true.

Zhang Qiusheng didn't take it seriously, even if he saw something strange, he didn't take it to heart. Zhang Daohan asked, of course, he guessed. I didn't take it to heart before, but now when I guess and say it again, Zhang Qiusheng is not calm. This is a real cultivator, a living cultivator. There are really real cultivators in this world, my obedient and long, I'm not dreaming, right?

Zhang Daohan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Zhang Qiusheng had changed from the original Pepsi to the appearance of an idiot now, but it also fully showed that he didn't have a plan and was courteous. He was an honest child.

"It's not a big deal to cultivate real people," Zhang Daohan paused for a moment, and then said, "Originally, I could have told you about the cultivation realm, but now I don't have time. I'll give you the knowledge and a set of cultivation techniques,————"

A sailor came to the bow with an oil jug, and was startled at the sight of the two men, and screamed in his mouth.

Zhang Qiusheng and the two completely took this sailor as transparent, and took his shouting as the wind in their ears, Zhang Daohan continued: "You don't care about life and death, I don't have time to say anything about you, anyway, people always have to die, and it doesn't make a difference if you die sooner or later." ——”

The sailor probably knew that he was frightened and unconsciously spoke in his native language, but the people did not understand, so he shouted in English: "You, you, who are you and what are you doing?" ”

"But, you have to remember," the two of them didn't pee at all the sailor's shout, and Zhang Daohan said without even a beating: "It's better to be alive than anything else." ”

The sailor grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Report, report, there is a situation, there is a situation, there is a situation report, there is a situation report from the second track Hankerson, I found ———— here"

Before the sailor's report was finished, a call came from the intercom: "Know, know, come back quickly, come back quickly, second-track Hankerson hurry back, enter the isolation cabin." Again, come back immediately and go into the quarantine chamber. As soon as the call fell, the bell rang loudly on the ship's floor, accompanied by the captain's order: "Attention all the crew, enter the isolation cabin immediately!" Pirates are spotted, pirates are discovered, and the entire crew is immediately put into the isolation cabin! ”

The sailors were frightened and immediately ran. In the panic, I didn't pay attention to the iron pillar between the ship's side and the container to fix the container to prevent the cargo from moving, and I was tripped and fell all the way. Before reaching the watertight hatch, a dense burst of gunfire rang out. There really are pirates coming.

The bullet hit the anti-pirate steel plate on the side of the ship, making a "chirp,—— dang, dang. Trumpeter - dang, dang. "Ringing.

Zhang Qiusheng and the two approached the port side, and the three small boats on the sea on the starboard side were speeding towards the big ship. There were two or three people on each speedboat, and the speedboat rushed towards the big ship at a high speed, and the AK47 spewed flames arrogantly.

The sky that was still shining with the sun just now, I don't know when it was overcast, and the dark clouds were thick, and the black pressure was close to the top of people's heads. The clouds grew lower and thicker, like horses galloping like dragons tumbling.

There was a clattering of footsteps on the deck, and the pirates boarded the ship. The pirates were also frightened by the terrifying celestial appearance, and in a hurry they just wanted to finish the job quickly, and frantically smashed the watertight hatch. After a few smashes, the pirate fired at the door handle and keyhole. For a while, gunfire erupted on the deck, and the crew in the isolation cabin below deck anxiously cried for help.

The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the sun. Behind the dark clouds, the golden light flickered, and from time to time it spouted with a snake-like light.

Zhang Daohan concealed the tension in his heart, and said to Zhang Qiusheng calmly: "This is to deal with my Flying Ascension Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation is only for the person who should be robbed, and has nothing to do with other people. I'm going to have to prepare. There is a rule in the cultivation realm: it is not allowed to use spells in front of ordinary people. You hide for a while, and don't come over under any circumstances. ”

The dark clouds churned more ferociously, and the golden electric light continued to expand and contract, as if trying to test how to deal a fatal blow to the people below.

The ship's anti-piracy facilities were probably strong, and the pirates were slamming on the doors and gunshots.

Suddenly, there was a thunderbolt like a landslide, accompanied by dozens of golden lightning, and smashed towards Zhang Daohan together.

And then there was the silence, the silence of death. There was not a sound all around, the pirates stopped slamming on the door, and the ship's main engine stopped roaring. Suddenly the clouds dispersed, and the sun shone on the sea.

Zhang Qiusheng finally came back to his senses and hurriedly ran towards Zhang Daohan.

Zhang Daohan leaned against the container and panted, his clothes were in tatters, his hair stood on end, his face was black, and there was a ground of spar powder and broken copper and iron scattered on the deck around him.

Zhang Qiusheng took out a bottle of water from the container and handed it to him, and asked happily: "Has the catastrophe passed?" Isn't it about to soar? "Fortunately, Zhang Qiusheng has no habit of chasing stars, otherwise he would have to sign an autograph.

Zhang Daohan drank a few sips of water, and only after recovering his strength did he speak: "How can you survive the catastrophe so easily?" There are a total of ninety-nine paths in this ascension tribulation, which are divided into three formations, one formation at a time and thirty-three paths. You also saw it just now, and it slammed down thirty-three paths together, so that you have no way to dodge and no way to escape, so you can only hold on. If it was split one by one, let alone ninety-nine, ninety-nine, most cultivators would be able to dodge it. For more than 1,500 years, none of them have survived. The lives of the cultivators will eventually disappear in the end. I know that today is certain death, that's why I have talked so much to you, and I have sent you the inner strength and mental method and the secret book of cultivating the truth. The bird will die and its song will mourn, and the man will die and his words will be good. ”

Hearing Zhang Daohan say this, Zhang Qiusheng was anxious. But he didn't understand anything about Xiuzhen, so he rushed to the doctor and said: "Then you autopsy, I heard that Xiuzhen cultivates to a great extent, and he can get out of his body." You're out of your body now, and you're running far away. Keeping the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood. ”

"Hehe," Zhang Daohan saw that Zhang Qiusheng was really worried about him, and said with a relieved smile: "Of course the autopsy is good, you and I have been alive for more than 2,500 years, it was the autopsy that was dissected several times, and then reincarnated as a new person." My reincarnation this time was in the second year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, and the Gregorian calendar was 1797, so I was already more than 200 years old. Reincarnation is a taste of fat, and life is also alive, let's change the way we play this time. Don't you see the anchorage port of this ship in Amsterdam? It must go to the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal. When I passed through the Apennine Peninsula, I went down in Italy and took refuge in the papal basilica.

Western monks cultivate the soul, and after death go to heaven or hell. The Oriental monk is a dual cultivation of spirit and flesh, and the ultimate goal is to become an immortal in the flesh and ascend in the daytime. The Western monks don't have a catastrophe, so I'll hide from them and see what happens. No, when you die, you can also grab a few pads.

What the? Why not Edgeworth? With the old man's cultivation, can you use the magic weapon for flying? But I, a person who is about to cross the catastrophe, use mana to fly, and the thunder will not split faster. Just like you are fleeing, you can run to the public security organs and say, "Get me a passport, I'm going abroad." All right? ”

Zhang Daohan said so many words in one breath, and he gasped a little. Zhang Qiusheng hurriedly asked him to rest the meeting to meet the next wave of thunder.

As he spoke, it was dark again, and dark clouds were overhead. In this way, the pirates were frightened, and they stopped slamming the door, and looked up at the sky with the muzzle of their guns downward.
