Chapter 10, The One-Year Covenant
"The intention is to form first, where the heart is, and the gold and stone are open. If you don't have the heart www.biquge.info of a warrior, no matter how strong your physique is and how good your skills are, you're just a reckless man. If I had just made a move, were you confident that you would have been able to dodge? Sui Lingxin said slowly.
Li Yan shook his head like a rattle. What are you kidding, if he fights to the death, he will definitely be killed in an instant.
"The key to everything is to calm yourself and calm your mind, which is the premise of a correct observation of everything in the world." Sui Lingxin and Li Yan sat opposite each other, and the two were extremely close, almost breathing each other.
Li Yan's eyes were tightly closed, and he put away all his chaotic thoughts. He sat loosely, and with the cold voice of the old spirit's heart, Li Yan felt that he had entered some kind of mysterious realm.
His attention slowly descended along the top of his head, completely relaxing every muscle in his body, allowing everything in himself to be still.
As if detached from his shell, he observed himself from the perspective of a spectator, listening to every powerful heartbeat and savoring every long breath.
The voice of the soul heart is like a clear spring, slowly flowing in the heart.
"The foundation of martial arts lies in the 'mental technique body', and the strength of the body lies in the 'essence and spirit'. The so-called 'essence' is the power of the physical body itself, the so-called 'qi' is the life energy flowing in the veins, and the 'god' is the metaphysical spiritual power. ”
"If you control the physical power, you can call it a 'strong man', if you control the flow of internal qi, you can call it an 'alien', and if you control the spiritual energy, you can call it a 'god man'. Sink your mind, let yourself be still, let the world stop moving, so that you can appreciate the mysteries inside your body. ”
Throughout the ages, the vast majority of generals and heroes are just 'strongmen', and those who have entered the realm of 'aliens' are none in ten thousand, and the realm of 'gods' is unparalleled in the world.
Li Yan couldn't help but want to ask, what kind of realm is Sui Lingxin, a woman who seems to be a Nine Heavens Immortal, in?
Without waiting for him to ask, Sui Lingxin stretched out his hand and imprinted the carved fingers of Bai Yu on the heart of Li Yan's eyebrows, and some indescribable spiritual power pierced into Li Yan's body, making him feel as if he had been enlightened, and he felt like he was being drenched in ice water on dog days.
Under the guidance of the old spirit, Li Yan seemed to see every cell in his body, and saw the life energy flowing in every vessel.
Strongman? Inhuman? God?
What a fascinating realm!
Time passed, and Li Yan suddenly didn't realize it.
――
After a long time, he stood up and stretched wide, "How do I feel like I've learned a lot, but when I think about it, I haven't learned anything?" ”
"Martial arts are not taught, nor are they practiced, but they are killed in battle again and again. Moreover, your current state of mind is not suitable for further training. Sui Lingxin seemed to see through Li Yan's careful thoughts, and said indifferently.
"Hey...... My aunt is discerning. Li Yan scratched his head a little embarrassed.
This is already the fourth day after the disaster, and the situation in H City is getting worse and worse. Several relatives in Li Yan's family and a few buddies who have a good time live in the city, and he must do something.
"It seems that the time has come to separate." Li Yan had a smile on his face, his tone seemed ordinary, but his heart was fluctuating.
"I have my mission, you have your pursuit, and it is best to forget about each other." Sui Lingxin's tone was calm, and there was still no wave.
"So, I just want to ask one question in the end......"
The old spirit seemed to have realized it a long time ago, and said, "Ask." ”
"My parents...... How are they now? ”
Hearing Li Yan's question, Sui Lingxin's eyes flickered slightly, and a strange emotion rose in his heart, which finally turned into a long sigh.
This question has been waiting for Li Yan to ask, and it has been three days!
"They...... Passed away, to help me accomplish my mission. ”
The two stood still for a long time.
This result had already been guessed, but now that it was confirmed by Sui Lingxin himself, Li Yan seemed to have changed as a person, his face was cold, like a demon.
"Who killed them? Where are they? Li Yan gritted his teeth and asked.
"Kill them in a powerful presence that you can't reach, and they're in a place of death that you can't get close to anyway. Do you understand? Sui Lingxin ignored Li Yan's eyes that seemed to be about to breathe fire, and said indifferently.
"I understand, I understand......" Li Yan took a few deep breaths and continued: "How can you tell me?" ”
"You're so smart, you should have guessed it a long time ago. When you're strong enough, I'll tell you everything. ”
"What makes it strong enough?"
"Enter the realm of the 'Inhumans'."
Li Yan smiled and smiled happily.
"Haha, it's just the realm of aliens, I thought I had to become a 'god'. One year! Just give me a year! ”
"No matter how stunning you are, even if you have the Inheritance Stone, it is impossible to become an 'Inhuman' within a year." Sui Lingxin shook his head and said in an unquestioning tone.
"So, let's make a bet!" Li Yan seemed to have returned to his high school years, he grinned and let out an arrogant laugh, as if there was nothing in this world that he couldn't accomplish.
"If I become an 'alien' within a year, I want you to grant me one request!"
A request, this request does not limit any scope, looking at Li Yan's arrogant smiling face, the old spirit heart is still unwavering.
"Don't say one, even 10,000 doesn't make sense, because it's impossible."
In a long period of time, she has seen too many martial artists with the name of "genius", even the overlord of Chu who ignores everything and is unparalleled in the world has spent ten years.
"I just ask you if you say yes!"
"What about saying yes?"
"Good!"
Li Yan seemed to have won, staring straight at Sui Lingxin's eyes, full of undisguised possessiveness.
"Lingxin, you have to remember that Guo'er loves her aunt, and Guo'er will definitely fulfill her agreement. Right here, right now, we'll see you in a year! For the first time, Li Yanzheng used his name to call the beauty in front of him.
Sui Lingxin took two steps back, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a shallow smile, beautiful as the morning glow, which made the flowers in the world ashamed.
"Then I'll wait for you."
Finally, she whispered.
--
Sui Lingxin left, she went north, and Li Yan went south.
Smile and say goodbye, forget each other in the rivers and lakes, isn't it happy?
Infected by her, Li Yan also seemed to have some more ancient chivalrous bones, he hummed the melody of "smiling proud rivers and lakes", while packing his bags, and began to ponder the various situations in this last world in his mind.
Now the world is in turmoil, with a total population of less than one billion, and all civilian logistics systems are paralyzed except for the military.
How long can a city survive without logistics to deliver food? I can't last a day!
Millions of mouths are waiting to be fed in the entire H urban area, but all the important materials are occupied by the facelings, and only the Chihai New District, where birds don't, is left, and in a few days I am afraid that there will be a hellish scene of starvation, devouring corpses, and cannibalism.
If it was simply to survive, Li Yan would probably choose to flee to the countryside and find a granary, and it would not be a problem to survive for a year or two.
But that doesn't make sense, for Li Yan, a madman, he either lives at the peak, or dies on the way to the peak, and he doesn't know how to write the word "cowardice" in his heart.
The ancients said that "life can't be eaten with five tripods, and death should also be cooked with five tripods", Li Yan thought so.
Not to mention that there is also that "one-year covenant", how to fight if you stay away from danger? How can the strength be improved without experiencing enough battles?
Where others stay away, Li Yan wants to do the opposite. His first destination was the Chihai New Area!
He made bread out of flour and corn from the house as dry food, filled a large bottle of water, carried it on his back in a bag, and then unloaded an iron rod two fingers thick from the ploughing implement, and put it on his shoulders.
That image...... is like a green forest hero who ran out of "Water Margin".
He walked south along the field path, swaggering and swaggering, hoping to crash into a few Facelings.
The closer you get to the highway, the more traces of human or Faceling activity there become. Li Yan suddenly saw a half-gnawed corpse, which seemed to be still fresh and had just died.
After seeing too much of the corpse, Li Yan didn't even feel disgusted, he leaned over and squatted down to observe carefully. Judging from his appearance, he should be a man of about fifty years old, and his waist down was amputated, as if he had been torn apart by brute force.
Li Yan was not afraid of disgust, reached out and flipped through the half of the corpse, and took out a mobile phone from under his body.
"Amitabha, go to life as soon as possible. It's just that this mobile phone has a fate with me, so I'll take it and turn it on. Li Yan clasped his hands together and bowed.
The phone still has power, Li Yan pressed the power button, and several small dots appeared on the screen, and a correct graphic must be drawn to unlock it.
"Hehe, it looks like a bit of a challenge."
Although this kind of secrecy has a lot of variations and is almost impossible to crack, for normal people, some common graphics are often used as passwords, which makes this graphic password a very insecure way of secrecy.
While walking, Li Yan casually drew patterns on the screen, and after trying more than 20 kinds of patterns, he easily unlocked them.
"It's just a simple Z, it's too unchallenging." This too simple pattern made him a little dissatisfied, "Hehe, what's in there?" ”
Human beings have voyeuristic desires, and Li Yan is no exception. He looked obscene, and first clicked on the mobile phone album.
The first row of pictures at the beginning is a beautiful girl in her twenties, who seems to have gone to a scenic spot to play, holding an antique red umbrella, and taking seven or eight photos in a row in the background of beautiful mountains and rivers.
In the subsequent photo album, the girl appeared many times, obviously having a lot to do with the owner of the phone.
Looking at the girl's white and pure face, Li Yan felt as if he had seen it somewhere, and after a while of hard thought, he blurted out a name.
"Shen Xiaoyan!?"
