Chapter 157: Martial Arts
The reincarnation tone was very certain, with the strength of the person in front of him, if he really had any treacherous intentions against Shi Lan, he could capture Shi Lan silently without revealing the slightest trace.
Moreover, this kind of pretending to be a master outside the world, pretending to meet by chance, and receiving genius disciples, is the usual method used by those top powerhouses.
This can be attributed to the act of accepting apprentices to the word 'fate', which can not only accept disciples, but also maintain their so-called shelf as top powerhouses, killing two birds with one stone.
This is all the experience that reincarnation has gained from the experiences of previous hosts.
The old man in front of him, now with the suspicion of 'pretending-beep-', is almost about to print the four big characters of 'worldly master' on his face.
Shi Lan listened, turned around, and took a step without hesitation.
No matter who this old man was and what he was going to do, Shi Lan didn't want to have anything to do with him.
She has no shortage of exercises, foreign objects such as magic weapons and divine weapons, there will be in the future after all, in terms of background, she also has reincarnation behind her as a reliance, and she is very safe for the time being, so you don't have to worry.
With these external conditions, Shi Lan had no reason to deal with a terrifying powerhouse above the triple realm of heaven and man, she had too many secrets, and intersecting with such a powerhouse would only bring trouble.
The old man who was sitting by the river and fishing frowned slightly, and then slowly let go.
Yes, the heart is calm, and it is a material that can be made.
Shi Lan had just taken two steps before he stopped.
The old man appeared before her again, and the distance was a little closer.
The Vientiane Realm martial artist can touch the power of space, the power of the Heaven and Man Realm, and it is very simple to change the direction in which she is going.
Obviously, the old man had no intention of letting her go.
"Seniors, can you let the juniors leave?" Unable to get out, Shi Lan simply stepped forward to say hello and said bluntly.
"Girl, the old man wants to ask you a question." The old man spoke slowly.
"Can you leave it unasked?" Shi Lan hesitated.
The old man's face froze for a moment, and then he instantly regained his composure and said, "No." ”
"Can I not answer, then?"
After being silent for a while, Shi Lan said again.
"No, either."
"Then senior, may I ask." Shi Lan lowered her eyes and gave up struggling.
"What do you think martial arts are?" The old man stared at the empty hook and said meaningfully.
'Martial arts is what you can put in front of me right now. ’
Shi Lan silently recited a sentence in her heart, and said with an unmoving face: "The strength of the juniors is still shallow, please ask the seniors to solve their doubts." ”
"Martial arts are martial arts, and Tao is Taoism, and people in the world always say that the two are mixed up."
The old man flicked the fishing rod lightly, and the hook broke through the water, catching a big fish nearly a foot long.
The corners of Shi Lan's eyes twitched, and she could see clearly that the hook disappeared in an instant, and then suddenly appeared in the mouth of this big fish.
The old man took the hook off and released it.
"What did you just see?"
The old man flung the hook back into the water, his eyes narrowing again.
"Senpai, this is the second question?" Shi Lan was a little puzzled.
The old man coughed, "Sort of." ”
"You just caught a fish."
Shi Lan said, and couldn't help but slander: "If you have something to say, you can't say it directly, you have to engage in these twists and turns." ’
"The life and death of this fish, in my thoughts, the life and death of the creatures in this entire river, are also in the palm of my hand, this is Wu, as for the Tao...... Now that you've said it, you won't understand it. ”
The old man put down the fishing rod in his hand and said softly: "Martial arts can control the life and death of others, and the Tao determines the limit of your martial arts, and determines the life and death of what kind of person you can control." ”
"You are young and have already entered the earth, and your martial arts are enough for you to decide the life and death of eighty percent of the living beings in the Heavenly Domain, but your Dao has just begun."
"In many cases, the meaning of Wu is different, just like when the demon army resists the demon clan, Wu is the guard, and in the hands of some crazy people, Wu is a butcher's knife."
"If you look at the entire vast land of Shenzhou, that martial arts represent power, status, and all the fundamentals of achieving one's own desires, so most people in the world only practice martial arts, but do not seek the way, because of small losses."
"However, the word martial arts, from ancient times to the present, has always represented fighting, and every martial art has been created, no matter what the reason, its fundamental purpose is to defeat or even kill the opponent......"
Shi Lan silently listened to the old man's words, and realized in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised that the old man seemed to be really telling her about martial arts.
"The old man knows that you are difficult to understand for a while, but I think that you have a relationship with my old man, you can come here again tomorrow, and at that time, I am slowly solving your doubts, you can go."
Halfway through his words, the old man suddenly stopped talking, waved his hand, lifted the empty fish basket, and disappeared in place in an instant.
As soon as Shi Lan entered the state, the old man was gone, which made her feel a pity for a while, she had already been hung up.
……
After returning to the camp to practice for a day, at the same time the next day, Shi Lan came to the small river again, and the old man was still fishing by the river.
From the place of reincarnation, Shi Lan learned that the old man was already here before dawn.
Seeing Shi Lan coming, the old man nodded and smiled, and continued to explain to Shi Lan what he understood the martial arts.
Shi Lan listened very carefully, and she could feel that what the old man said was valuable experience.
At sunset, the old man finished teaching.
"Thank you for your teachings." Shi Lan bowed.
During this day, Shi Lan also asked the old man's name, but he was perfunctory, and after two or three times, Shi Lan did not speak again.
The old man bowed slightly, and said slowly: "Tomorrow, the old man will not come again." ”
"When will the senior come again?" Shi Lan's face was stunned, but she understood in her heart that she was finally about to get to the point.
"Not again." The old man shook his head slightly.
"Where are the seniors going?"
"Whereabouts are uncertain." The old man looked at Shi Lan with an obvious hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"The juniors send off the seniors, and the seniors have a smooth journey."
Shi Lan saluted again.
A trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and he couldn't help but speak: "If the old man goes, you and I may not have a goodbye day." ”
"Please, senior, wait." Shi Lan's expression suddenly dawned, and he turned around and ran towards the camp.
The old man raised his hand to dust off the non-existent dust on his body, withdrew the divine consciousness that surrounded Shi Lan, and smiled with satisfaction, not in vain for his obvious hint.
Shi Lan quickly turned back, holding a large flag with gold characters on a black background in his hand, and handed it to the old man.
"Under the jurisdiction of the demon army in Xiazhen, there is a small commander, who has no family background, so he can only give this military flag to each other, I hope that the predecessors will not dislike it, and the right will be used as a souvenir."
The old man's eyes widened, he thought that Shi Lan went back to prepare something like an apprenticeship, but he never expected Shi Lan to prepare such a 'special' gift for him.
