It was a harsh winter night, the sky was black and purple, and the earth was silvery white.

Yuan Qi came out of a tavern, a little drunk, and walked into a secluded alley.

This day is his thirtieth birthday.

Thirty-year-old Yuan Qi is still a third-rate figure on the rivers and lakes.

In terms of appearance, he is ordinary, and he is not handsome.

In terms of wisdom, he is reasonable, but he is not wise.

As for martial arts qualifications...... Indeed, he is better than the rest of the people. It's a pity that his master is a third-rate figure like him, and can only teach him some superficial kung fu.

All in all...... He is a man of mediocre appearance, mediocre intelligence, and mediocre martial arts.

In the rivers and lakes, most people like him will never come out.

If someone said to him at that time - "You can be the leader of the martial arts alliance in the future", then he would definitely think it was a joke, and even felt that it was a mockery.

However, someone really said this......

It was a blind fortune teller, with a slim figure and a rotten face.

On this cold winter night, the blind man sat at a tattered square table on the side of the road, holding a long banner, waiting for the guests to come to the door.

Yuan Qi, who was passing by, saw the blind man, so he walked over and sat down at the table.

"Sir, it's late at night." Yuan Qi said.

"So what?" The blind man's voice was strange, very hoarse, as if someone was choking him by the neck.

"There's no one on the street anymore." Yuan Qi said.

"I know." The blind man replied, "I can hear you." ”

Yuan Qi smiled and shook his head: "Sir, I have some scattered silver taels here, you can take it and go back to ......."

"I'm not asking for food." The blind man knew what Yuan Qi meant, and he directly interrupted the other party.

Yuan Qi pursed his lips, feeling that this blind man was a little ignorant, but after thinking about it, he felt that this blind man also had a bit of a backbone.

"That'...... Please sir give me a hexagram. Yuan Qi thought for a moment and continued.

"Okay. What are you asking? The blind man asked.

"Heh......" Yuan Qi laughed.

He didn't want to count any fate, but he just looked at this blind man pitifully...... The cold weather was still blowing on the side of the street, so I wanted to give him some silver to let him go back.

But at the moment, he didn't want to forget it, so Yuan Qi replied casually, "Then I'll ask about the future." ”

Yuan Qi also knows something about the fortune teller...... This is the craft of speaking, which pays attention to the observation of words and colors, and the plausible.

It's not easy to make a living with empty mouths and white teeth like this. Praise, coax, excite, scare...... There are different ways to deal with different people. I want to eat this bowl of rice. At least a few dozen sets of established rhetoric must be prepared; Not only do you have to memorize it well, but you also have to know how to adapt to it. If it is well said, it is not difficult to earn some money to make ends meet; And if you say the wrong thing, it is light to not get paid, and it is common to be beaten and scolded.

Yuan Qi has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and has dealt with the three religions and nine streams, and all kinds of doorways are a little bit known...... At the moment, he didn't want to embarrass the blind man. So I asked an "entry-level" question. I thought to myself...... Just listen to him brag a few words.

Unexpectedly......

"Okay." The blind man said, stretching out his hands, "Guest, let me touch your face." ”

Yuan Qi looked at the blind man's rough, thin hands. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Okay." ”

He is a man with five big and three thick, and he is indeed not afraid of being taken advantage of by this blind man, so he can touch it.

So, Yuan Qi guided the blind man's hand. Put it on your sideburns.

Another surprise to Yuan Qi was...... The blind man's hands were warm, not as cold as he had imagined, and they were strong. It gives a sense of thickness that does not match the appearance.

Soon, the blind man touched Yuan Qi's forehead, cheeks, chin, and even the top of his head and behind his ears, and then withdrew his hand.

"Heh......" Yuan Qi saw that the blind man bowed his head and was silent, so he deduced that the other party was about to start playing tricks, he laughed and asked, "How is it?" Mr. ”

"You are asking about the future, then I will point you to a future...... the blind man replied in a deep voice, "From today onwards, you will practice martial arts and walk the rivers and lakes as usual; Within ten years, there will be no more than three people in the entire martial arts who can compete with you. At that time, if you still haven't deviated from the right path, then the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance is also in your pocket. ”

When Yuan Qi heard this, he was stunned for a while before he reacted, and then he laughed out loud: "Ha! Hahahaha...... "He laughed so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes," this gentleman, hehe...... According to you, I just need to practice martial arts diligently and don't do evil...... Ten years at most, will it be a hegemony? ”

The blind man did not answer him this question, but asked him a question in turn: "Today, but your birthday?" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Qi was stunned when he heard this, and a little suspicious color immediately appeared on his face, and replied, "It's ......."

He didn't know how the blind man guessed that it was his birthday, he just knew...... This is not a brain-dead question such as "What troubles have you been having in your life lately?", but the fact that the probability of guessing is less than 1 in 300.

"Good!" After receiving the reply, the blind man said in a loud voice the word "good," and then said, "It seems that this is providence." ”

He muttered two inexplicable words, and then ...... Suddenly grabbed Yuan Qi's left arm resting on the table.

At this moment, Yuan Qi's wine had already woken up for the most part, and he took a sharp breath of cold air to sober up his brain a little: "Sir...... What does this mean? ”

"You have been practicing martial arts since you were twelve years old, and you have only studied with one master, and you have learned four and a half sets of kung fu from him, four of which are the lowest of the lower grades...... "The blind man suddenly said to himself.

And Yuan Qi was shocked to hear it, because what the other party said was exactly the same as the actual situation......

Yuan Qi's family was wealthy when he was young, and he went to private school for a few years, but he was really not a material for reading, and he didn't make much progress after studying for a few years. Thereupon...... When he was twelve years old, his father invited an old boxer who was very famous in the county town to let Yuan Qi worship him, and since then he has abandoned literature and martial arts.

Of course, the "name" of this boxer is only limited to the county seat of Yuan Qi's family; Put it on the rivers and lakes, it is a third-rate character. Thankfully, though...... Although this old master has limited martial arts, his teacher is impeccable. He taught and supervised Yuan Qi strictly, and before he died, he also passed on the "half of the secrets" passed down by his master to Yuan Qi.

"You...... Who are you? Yuan Qi asked in astonishment, "How do you know ......?"

The blind man ignored Yuan Qi's words. Grabbing his arm, he continued: "The half of the set of kung fu that you failed to practice is called 'Destiny Xuangong', which is a long-lost peerless divine skill. ”

While the blind man spoke, Yuan Qi felt a stream of heat being poured into his arm and running in a specific pattern in his meridians......

"This kind of martial arts is very peculiar, no matter how you practice on weekdays, you won't feel half an increase in your strength......" The blind man calmly recounted while drawing his strength, "Every year, the Xuangong of Destiny can only enter the realm once. And the timing of entry ...... It must be on the day of the cultivator's birthday. Once that day is missed, the Xuangong skills that the cultivator has worked hard for the entire year before will be in vain. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Qi's mind buzzed, and he almost fainted with his eyes.

Obviously...... Yuan Qi has practiced the "Xuangong of Destiny", and he has studied it very hard......

Even if he didn't know that this was a peerless divine skill, and he didn't even know what the kung fu he practiced was called, he could still see that the mental method on that "half of the secret book" was much more profound than the several martial arts taught by his master.

Anyone who wanders around the rivers and lakes is ambitious. Yuan Qi also knows very well that for a person like himself who is still very mediocre at the age of thirty. That half of the secret book is probably his last hope to get ahead.

However, in the past few years, no matter how hard he practiced that half of the mind, he was unable to improve his skills. Feel ...... It's better to practice those superficial kung fu. At least I can feel that my strength is gradually getting stronger.

Until today, after listening to the blind man's words, Yuan Qi finally knew the secret hidden in that half of the secret book.

"Senior ......" Yuan Qi's name for the blind has changed, because he has understood. The person in front of him is by no means a fortune teller, but a master who has only seen him in his life.

"Talk less." The blind man interrupted him again, "Remember the trend of my practice with your heart." It's something you don't have in that half of your book......"

When Yuan Qi heard this, he immediately closed his eyes and memorized it intently.

He was a man of bad luck, so he knew how to seize opportunities......

Yuan Qi knew that he was by no means the kind of martial arts wizard who could learn it as soon as he learned it, and the adventure at this moment was ...... I'm afraid there won't be a second time in this life, so he has to try his best to remember the other party's practice.

The north wind is howling and the night is getting thicker......

I don't know how long it took, the blind man reined in his internal force and let go of Yuan Qi's hand.

"Okay, I have used my internal strength to break through this year's New Year Pass for you...... The power of the Xuan Gong you have accumulated in the previous year has been stimulated, and you must be able to feel it as well......" The blind man's breath was still very stable when he spoke, which showed that his internal force was unfathomable, "From now on, you will still practice according to the mental method on your half of the secret book on weekdays, and on the day of your birthday, you will use the method I taught you today to run the internal force...... In this way, the true power of the Xuangong of Destiny can be brought into play. ”

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Qi had already knelt on the ground, trembling and kowtowing three times.

"Thank you, senior!" Yuan Qi almost choked up and said these four words.

Naturally, this is not some kind of performance, but an act that comes from the heart.

Yuan Qi's forehead had been broken and bleeding on the cold snow...... His eyes were full of tears.

These tears carry too many emotions of a mediocre person, bitterness, helplessness, despair, lamentation, joy, longing, excitement, and emotion.

That moment of realization, Yuan Qi will never forget.

"Don't thank me, I said it...... This is providence. As he spoke, the blind man stood up and fumbled for the wooden banner beside him, "You can meet me here and now, and let me tell you your fortune, these are things that only God can calculate." ”

He paused, and then said, "Actually, before you sat down, I had already found out seven or eight points of your martial arts path and internal strength cultivation. I raised my hand to touch your bones, I really wanted to tell you a fortune, but I didn't expect to find out half a set of fortune mysteries......"

When the blind man said this, he slowly turned around: "In today's martial arts, the people who can create their own superior martial arts are almost extinct, and the magic skills left by the ancestors are gradually lost in the hands of some fools who can teach but not learn, and who can learn or not teach. He shook his head and snorted coldly, "Huh...... I met you. It's a matter of chance. If I do it today...... can make the Xuangong of Destiny reappear in the world, and it can be regarded as adding a little interest to the martial arts of this generation that is not as good as the generation. ”

At that time, Yuan Qi couldn't understand the meaning of the blind man's two sentences at all, and the Yuan League leader twenty years later ...... It seems to be understood.

For those laypeople who are crawling around in the rivers and lakes, "getting" is the most important thing.

Peerless martial arts, Wanguan family wealth, and the name of Xuanhe...... That's what they want.

And for a worldly master like the "blind", "getting" is not so important.

When martial arts practice is difficult to defeat, what you get is loneliness; When the wealth accumulated is incalculable, what you get is numbness; When fame is known to the whole world, what you get is emptiness.

A person who is so strong that he is lonely, numb, and empty will either go to destruction. Or go to detachment.

The blind man is obviously a detached person, and the detached person will travel far and wide for a momentary situation, and will stop for a wisp of dust, but they will not toil for fame and fortune, nor will they be sad and happy for the immediate gains and losses.

Pity...... Although Yuan Qi has understood a lot of things now, he is no longer the Yuan Qi of the past. He knows what a transcendent person is like, so he also knows...... I'll never be like that.

…………

Twenty years later, buried in the valley of the heart.

Boom –

The palm wind blooms, and the palm shadow is like a mountain.

Yuan Qi's seven successes. Who can stop anyone in today's martial arts?

The answer is...... No one can.

Unlike those martial arts celebrities who became famous at a young age and had smooth sailing, Yuan Qi's first half of his life was bleak, he deeply understood the pain of a mediocre person, and the fear of this pain...... It's his endless motivation.

Driven by this drive. Yuan Qi's assiduous cultivation of Xuangong far exceeded the blind man's estimate...... After 20 years of precipitation, it has gone through 20 breakthroughs...... Yuan Qi's destiny Xuangong has already reached the realm of pure green.

Since he ascended to the throne of the martial arts alliance leader ten years ago with the name of "No. 1 in the world of martial arts", he has never used his full strength again. Because since then, look at the entire martial arts. I can't find an opponent who can match him.

It's too late, it's too soon!

But seeing that, Yuan Qi's palm power easily broke a big tree with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying. took advantage of the situation and beat Song Wuqi, who was hiding behind the trunk, into two.

The blood and entrails that spurted out of it stood out in the green forest, and it seemed as if it would glow in the light of the mist......

Of all the people in the martial arts who witnessed this palm, there was not a single one who was not amazed by Yuan Qi's strength...... For them, that palm is simply beyond the reach of a lifetime.

However, there are also people who show disdain and complain there: "Cut...... It's not that strong, is it...... If I develop the performance of Arashi's foot again, I should be able to kick moves with similar power. ”

"I'm curious...... Hanama didn't pay attention to Brother Jue's words, but said, "In martial arts scripts, will a humanoid NPC of this strength be killed by ordinary bullets......

"Yes, we tried." Ruoyu answered her question directly, "In fact, bullets work wonders in this kind of script...... Most NPCs that are not very strong can be killed by a sneak attack with a normal firearm, and they are almost defenseless against such attacks; Boss-level guys are not like that, but they can also kill them from a distance with powerful shooting attacks. ”

"Hmm...... "Hanama muttered, "I suddenly felt ...... There seems to be a bit of a problem with the staffing arrangement of this meeting. ”

"Cut~" Brother Jue knew what Miss An meant, and he immediately shook his head and responded, "What if Xiao Ling restrains the NPCs in the script?" We're a contest ~OK? The lineup I put out is for Red Sakura, not for the script. Besides...... The script is also random, how do I know it's going to be a martial arts world? ”

"Obviously the person who is obsessed with completing the plot every time actually uses this excuse......" Ruoyu said coldly, "Then I have to take a good look at it today...... How you focus on the 'game'. (To be continued......)
