The night in Blackwood City is nothing special, compared to the crowds of people coming and going during the day, the streets at night are unusually quiet, and the occasional footsteps of pedestrians can be heard and the dull sound of wheels running over bluestone slabs.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street are closed, their doors and windows are closed, and only a few inns are still open.

"You ordinary people, always hope that you can become a warrior one day, you worship warriors, and you also envy the longevity, fame and fortune of warriors, and their great strength, but you don't know that behind their brilliance is more difficult and cruel than the road of mortals......"

At this moment, on the third floor of Liu Dafu's tavern, Chu Qifan was sitting quietly in his room, and all that echoed in his mind was Hua Impermanence's tirade.

When he and Hua Wuchang rushed back to the tavern today, it was almost noon, and he was busy with what he needed to do as usual, and now it was finally time to rest. However, what is surprising is that when Liu Dafu saw him come back, he did not show any worried looks, but smiled at him with relief and gave him a strange look, which made him look inexplicable.

The fact is that Liu Dafu completely thought that he went to fall in love with Fang Xiyue last night, and it was normal for men and women to talk and do something, and Fang Xiyue looked like a beautiful flower, if Chu Qifan could really do what she did, it would be good, in short, it was much better than Zhao Kun's niece.

If Chu Qifan knew what Liu Dafu really thought, he would be embarrassed, he really just went to see him off last night, and the relationship between him and Fang Xiyue was also extremely pure, which was what he thought.

"This way of practicing martial arts is mainly divided into two major points, the first point is to use the vitality of this heaven and earth to constantly temper and strengthen one's body. As for the second point, it is to combine one's own actual perception and integrate it into one's own martial arts, which is simply to achieve enlightenment. The former focuses on hard work, and the latter pays more attention to a fateful word, and the two complement each other and are indispensable!"

As a martial arts novice, Chu Qifan's curiosity about martial arts can be imagined, no, as soon as it was closing time, he begged Hua Wuchang to popularize a lot of martial arts knowledge for him, although now he only heard some basic common sense.

At the same time, he also figured out a lot of things he didn't understand, such as what happened to him last night.

In Hua Wuchang's words, the other half of the jade pendant missing in Chu Qifan's hand was on his body before, in the past, he was killed by a strong enemy, and the half of the jade pendant he carried on his body when he was dying absorbed part of his soul power and forcibly pulled his soul into its internal space, and then escaped into the endless space with him.

The jade pendant has spiritual intelligence, and it seems that it has been flying aimlessly, but it is actually looking for the other half of the jade pendant, so what happened yesterday, when the other half of the jade pendant on Chu Qifan's body was found, the two broken jade pendants hugged together like long-lost old friends, and finally became one, and Chu Qifan was not the host, and lived in his body.

As for why he was able to cultivate suddenly, Hua Wuchang couldn't say why, so he could only vaguely say that the powerful power generated when the two jade pendants were combined had tempered his body and opened up something, well, that's probably it!

But these are not the point, what really makes Chu Qifan pay attention is the origin of this jade pendant, it is actually the treasure of the Chu family thousands of years ago, this Chu family can be described as a giant in the mainland at that time, this jade pendant can become the treasure of its town clan, and its ability should be extremely unheavenly, but even Hua Wuchang doesn't know what this thing is for, so it is even more impossible for him to know, he just needs to know that this is a very powerful thing

In fact, it's not completely useless, this jade pendant is its own space, and the space is not small, so it seems to be good to use it as a warehouse.

"Just like the bureaucracy of the mortal world, the world of martial artists is also divided into hierarchies, from low to high, they are the Qi Cultivation Realm, the Sea Realm, the Ning Yuan Realm, the Human Yuan Realm, the Earth Yuan Realm, the Tian Yuan Realm, the One Realm, the King Realm, the Emperor Realm, the Holy Realm, and the Immortal Realm, each realm is divided into nine levels, as you can say now that you can practice Qi one ......"

The illusory figure of Hua Impermanence sat at the head of the bed and continued: "As for whether there is a higher realm, I don't know, anyway, the strongest one I have heard in front of me has reached the peak of the Nine Levels of Sainthood, and I haven't even reached immortality, it's really embarrassing......"

Chu Qifan was disdainful in his heart, your way of thinking is really powerful, a super strong person is embarrassed by you.

"Then dare to ask what kind of cultivation you have in front of you?" Chu Qifan scratched the tip of his nose, cleared his throat, and asked.

"The Ninefold Peak of the King Realm"

Chu Qifan swallowed his saliva, and the look of shock on his face was self-evident.

"You don't look much older than me, how can you be so strong?" he paused slightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that the King Realm is just famous, but in fact, it is a rotten street existence in your martial arts world?"

Hua Wuchang glanced at him, and said angrily: "You look down on you Uncle Hua so much?" You Uncle Hua, I am our famous genius, only twenty-three years old was promoted to the Fengwang Realm, which is our second fastest record, to change to other people with mediocre talents, not to mention the Fengwang Realm, extremely poor all his life, whether he can touch the threshold of the Tianyuan Realm is a question!" Alas, at that time, I don't know how many genius saints of great power had a crush on me, but it's a pity that I'm more single-minded, and there is no destined answer between us, so I really pity those girls who are just beginning to fall in love......"

"Don't brag, be serious!" Chu Qifan interrupted him, he had been with this product for almost a day, he didn't know anything else, but he still knew at a glance about narcissism, if he allowed this product to blow like this, he wouldn't be able to learn anything useful in the future.

But narcissism is narcissism, if it is really as he said, then Chu Qifan has to admit that this thing is indeed a ruthless person.

According to your cultivation, you can be regarded as a master in front of you, but why don't you have the reserve of a master?

Thinking about it, Chu Qifan couldn't help but disdain it again.

"Uh-huh...... Isn't I trying to let you know that cultivation is not easy?" Hua Wuchang coughed dryly, his face returned to normal and said: "Since you have entered the martial arts, then the cultivation of martial arts and spiritual weapons is also necessary, let's talk about the former first, the straightforward point of the martial arts is that it is a kind of book that records the martial arts of the predecessors, from low to high in terms of grade, it is yellow level, Xuan level, earth level, heaven level and the legendary supreme secret technique. ”

"The difference in the martial arts skills learned will greatly affect the direct combat power of the two martial artists, I won't give an example of this, I think you also understand the reason. ”

Chu Qifan nodded, the deeper he learned, the stronger he naturally became.

"As for the spirit weapon, I suddenly decided not to tell you, because it's useless, I'll explain it to you slowly when you meet you in the future......" Hua Wuchang looked at Chu Qifan and said.

"Why?"

"Because you won't be able to touch it for a while. ”

Hua Wuchang's words are not unreasonable, if it is a martial art, he knows a lot in front of him, if Chu Qifan pats his ass more, he doesn't mind directly teaching him a few copies in the form of memory fragments, but when it comes to spiritual weapons, there are indeed a lot of them in front of him, but they are all in his storage ring, and his storage ring may still be in the hands of Zhao Broken Soul now?

"Zhao Broken Soul, Li Heiyun, Thousand Feet of Bones, I will come back one day with Impermanence!"

Thinking of the impermanence of those three people, his heart was full of anger, if it wasn't for those three people besieging him, how could he end up with such a person who is not a ghost or a ghost.

"Brother Fan, I don't know if you still think of me occasionally now?" But soon, the anger in his heart was washed away by the beautiful shadow in his memory, how could he forget the woman he had worked so hard to protect all his life: "Soon, I will be back soon!"

Chu Qifan looked at him silently, and didn't bother, everyone has their own thoughts, not to mention the existence of the soul that only leaves the dead like Hua Impermanence.

"Well, he told me a lot today, so let's rest!"

Thinking in his heart, Chu Qifan slowly got up and opened the window of the room as quietly as he could, and suddenly a cool breeze blew across his face.

The wind is light, the night is not sun, and the moon hangs in the sky, reflecting a little sad.

Chu Qifan couldn't help but shudder.

"It's really cold in the middle of the night!"

......

The night passed, and the next morning, the sun saw the east, as if it had not yet woken up, and it was not dazzling.

The plan of the day was in the morning, the crowds on the streets of Blackwood City began to flow, and the doors of the shops on both sides of the street also opened one after another, and Chu Qifan's busy day began again.

"Little shopkeeper, get me some wild boar, corn and chicken kernels......"

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Er to send it to you later. ”

"Boy, get me some of your strongest liquor......

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you later!"

"Little brother, bring me a spicy chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, oh yes, don't put spicy chicken, don't add sugar to sweet and sour tenderloin, I'm not used to sweet and spicy!"

Chu Qifan: "......"

After running back and forth for a while, running up and down, Chu Qifan finally survived the peak period of crowds and had time to rest.

At this time, he was sitting at a wine table with a leisurely face, holding a teacup in his hand, tasting quietly, although the quality of the tea was not as good as the teahouse that Fang Xiyue took him to before, it also had its own taste.

"Boy, how long are you going to grind?As a martial artist, the road ahead is very long, and you must not be bound to this square inch of land......" Hua Wuchang, who was staying in the Emperor Jade Space, suddenly asked.

Yesterday, I stayed outside for too long, and without the support of the carrier, Hua Impermanence's soul power was also a little weaker, just in case of accidents, I went back to the Emperor Jade Space to recover my strength first.

"Let me help him for another three days, my life was picked up by my father-in-law, and he has the grace of nurturing me, and it's a bit inappropriate to say that he can leave!" Chu Qifan said: "And I have been taking care of this tavern for so long, and I know a lot of people, so I am really reluctant to leave all of a sudden!"

In fact, since this morning, Hua Wuchang has been urging him to pack his bags and leave quickly, nagging in his mind, expressing great disdain for him to continue to do chores here.

In fact, it's no wonder that Hua Wuchang is like this, originally martial artists and mortals are in two different worlds, and what mortals do is meaningless in the eyes of martial artists, if other martial artists see Chu Qifan like this, it is estimated that they are more anxious than Hua Wuchang, and it is not impossible to forcibly take him away.

In comparison, it's not that Hua Wuchang is noble, he is just a soul body, and he still needs to rely on the emperor jade in the other party's body to survive, if he accidentally makes the other party angry, it will be fun to stay outside forever in a rage.

"Cut!" Hua Wuchang in the imperial jade space sneered secretly, and then kept silent, falling into deep thought, or remembrance.

In fact, Hua Wuchang is also selfish, he is not from this place, and he doesn't have Chu Qifan's kind of emotion, he just wants Chu Qifan to become stronger as soon as possible, and take him back to that place, he wants to take revenge, and he wants to see that Qianying again, even if it is just to look at her from a distance in her current state.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked in at the door of the tavern, and at a glance, he saw Chu Qifan sitting there, and shouted.

"Xiaoqi, I heard that you ran out on a date with that little girl the day before yesterday?"

A familiar voice came, naturally it was Zhao Kun's goods.

"Poof!" Chu Qifan's tea sprayed on the table, hurriedly wiped the table, and said, "Who...... Who said that?"

Zhao Kun said with a smile on his face: "Young man, don't be shy, I think your Uncle Zhao also came over with your aunt like this back then." ”

"No, I ......"

"It's good to have this mind, it's much better than your father-in-law's old bachelor!" Zhao Kun didn't care what Chu Qifan said at all, he just said to himself.

Liu Dafu over there was unhappy, and immediately shouted: "Your uncle, Zhao Er Mazi, in the future, I will give you a 200% discount on everything you have!"

"Look at you like that!" Zhao Kun ignored Liu Dafu, just looked at Chu Qifan, rubbed his hands and said: "Xiaoqi, your Uncle Zhao just wants to ask, do you have any thoughts about my niece, although my niece is not as beautiful as that little girl, but she is still okay, and it is okay to be a concubine for you." ”

"I ......" Chu Qifan had a black line, and just walked a flower impermanence, and this came Zhao Kun again.

And Uncle Zhao, how unbearable your niece is, you need to sell it back and forth all the time, and you can even be a concubine.

Thinking of Liu Dafu's reaction when he heard Zhao Kun and his niece, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Hehe, but seriously, Fang Xiyue is really beautiful"

......

chatting in the tavern during the day, thinking about martial arts at night, in an instant, three days have passed, and the time of parting will finally come.

Unlike in the past, the sky of Blackwood City today is not covered with red clouds, but instead thick clouds.

In front of a tavern, an obese middle-aged man and a teenager stand opposite each other, and behind the teenager are pedestrians coming and going.

"Qi'er, father-in-law, I have also gained a lot over the years, you take these and keep them on the road to buy wine and drink!"

The obese middle-aged man and the young man are naturally Liu Dafu and Chu Qifan, who are about to be separated.

It's just that Liu Dafu, who has always been leisurely and comfortable, has become unusually serious today, and his fat face is covered with vicissitudes.

As early as two days ago, he learned that Chu Qifan had become a martial artist, and he also knew Chu Qifan's decision, he did not keep it, he was not disappointed, but only the care and connivance of the elders for the younger generations, as well as deep encouragement.

To be able to become a martial artist, who wants to be a mortal for the rest of his life? Since Chu Qifan has chosen this path, he, as a father-in-law, will naturally do his best to support him.

Liu Dafu took out a money bag from his arms, handed it into the latter's hand, and said: "Father-in-law, I am just a mediocre person, the world of martial artists is too far away from us, whether this road is a blessing or a curse, it depends on you to break through, and I can help you, that's all!"

The weight of the money bag is very heavy, obviously there will be no less coins inside, Chu Qifan did not refuse, accepted the money bag, and then bowed deeply to Liu Dafu, and said seriously: "Qi'er thank you for the care of your father-in-law over the years, if there is no father-in-law's re-creation grace, there is no me now, my father-in-law helped me, and it will be difficult for my son to return in this life." In the future, if you are fortunate enough to return to your hometown, you will definitely live a better life. ”

"Okay, okay, father-in-law, I won't eat your set!" Liu Dafu's fat face squeezed out a smile, patted Chu Qifan's shoulder, and said: "Hurry up and go, while it's still early, there is still a seat at the post station, and the good positions will be picked away if it's too late!"

"Father-in-law......"

Seeing Chu Qifan, who was a little stunned, Liu Dafu nudged him and said, "Let's go, my father-in-law, I'm still waiting for the opening!"

Chu Qifan looked deeply at the familiar fat figure, and finally stopped being nostalgic and turned to leave.

"If you're tired, go back to this little broken tavern for tea!"

Behind, Liu Dafu's voice sounded quietly, making Chu Qifan's footsteps stutter as he walked, and there seemed to be fog in his eyes, and after calming down for a moment, he set off again and slowly walked along the street crowd.

Farewell, tavern!

Looking at Chu Qifan's gradually disappearing back, the smile on Liu Dafu's face slowly dissipated, and a touch of remembrance was replaced, and five years passed like this.

Standing in place for a long time, Liu Dafu sighed lightly, and finally returned to the tavern with heavy steps, and the door of the tavern was also closed.

The tavern is not open today.

......
