A somewhat ear-wrenching sentence, but two completely different meanings.

Zhu Lao thought that Yuan Yuanxiang believed in Kong Qing's strength too much, and was afraid that Yuan Yuanxiang would be seriously injured because of Kong Qing's failure to block.

Although this is just an analogy, Yuan Yuanxiang doesn't think about it at all.

From the moment Yuan Yuanxiang made a move, he subconsciously thought from the bottom of his heart that Kong Qing would not let Yuan Yuanxiang get hurt, even if he gave up everything.

It is precisely because of this thought that Gen Yuanxiang can focus more on the battle with the old man. It is also more able to devote itself to waves of fierce attacks.

After a long time, the old man stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly, "No matter what, you are already very good, although the teacher takes little care of you on weekdays, but your growth is completely beyond my expectations."

The old man lying on the ground was a genuine median Earth Source Realm martial artist, although Kong Qing and Yuan Yuanxiang were also injured a lot, but the result was very good.

A journey of 100 kilometers, but in just three days, under the slow pace of Kong Qing and the others, they finally arrived at their destination.

Tile Rock City, the central location of the Tile Rock City.

After coming to Wayan City, Kong Qing was very surprised, compared with other cities, this Wayan City, except for being a little bigger, the appearance is not at all magnificent of other cities, even the previous Changming City can't catch up.

Most of the buildings in the city are made of wooden tiles, only a small number of particularly important buildings use the source stone, just came here, Kong Qing wondered if it was a mistake, and after confirming it again and again, Kong Qing knew that this was the tile rock city.

One of the five cities under Xingyang County, although the appearance is not as built as Kong Qing imagined, Kong Qing knows one thing very well, the strength of Wayan City is ranked first among the five cities, whether it is the power of the sect or the number of idle cultivators, it is not comparable to the other four cities.

The power of the sect is strong, and the power of the city lord's mansion is weak, although the area under the jurisdiction of the city lord's mansion is wide, the jurisdiction is basically some rough land, not only can you not see a few warriors, but even ordinary people do not have a few households.

It is this kind of tile rock city that makes the forces of the other four cities dare not provoke tile rock city, of course, the internal disputes in tile rock city are also the most chaotic, but if there are forces from outside the city that want to enter tile rock city to share a piece of cake, then you can see the real unity of tile rock city.

"Old rule, go find the inn first!"

As soon as they walked into Wayan City, Kong Qing and the three of them were shocked by the bustling flow of people in front of them, although they were very tired from the journey, but when they saw such a vibrant city, the tiredness on Kong Qing and the three of them disappeared instantly.

"Xiang'er, don't be in a hurry to find an inn yet" The old man stopped Yuan Yuanxiang.

Yuan Yuanxiang looked back and was stunned, and asked very puzzled, "Master, why don't you go to the inn, sleep on the street at night?"

Zhu Lao frowned, and said slowly, "This Tile Rock City has a big medicinal herb market, I want you to go and see it first, after all, you have been practicing for more than a year, although you know the names of those elixirs, you have not seen the elixir itself."

Seeing Kong Qing and Yuan Yuanxiang looking at each other, Zhu Lao coughed lightly, and added, "This is very helpful for your martial arts!"

Hearing Zhu Lao say this, Kong Qing and Yuan Yuanxiang nodded in agreement.

After walking a few streets, sure enough, as the old man said, Kong Qing asked from afar about a very strong medicinal fragrance, releasing the source power slightly, and he could feel the source power beating on the tip of his hand.

"It's worthy of a medicinal herb bazaar, such a huge medicinal power breath, even some dangerous places full of elixirs have never been reached," Kong Qing sighed.

You can also see a lot of medicine dealers on both sides of the road, these temporary drug dealers, don't underestimate them, almost some high-level elixirs, have the opportunity to see from their hands, lucky, you can also see some valuable heaven-level elixirs.

"The puppet show, the puppet show is going to open, the three golds are alone, come and come"

Kong Qing suddenly heard the shouting of an old man in a sixtieth armor, it turned out to be a puppeteer, and there were all kinds of puppets on a wooden cart, but these puppets were human puppets.

There are general puppets with extraordinary spirit, literati puppets with strong books, ordinary common people puppets, and peak martial arts puppets in the source world.

The people around to watch the puppet show were just some children, and of course there were many warriors who were interested in puppets.

Kong Qing scratched his head, and was just about to tell Yuan Yuanxiang, but found that there was no Yuan Yuanxiang beside him, Kong Qing rolled his eyes, and saw Yuan Yuanxiang's figure crowded in the crowd at a glance.

"Senior sister, this is too fast," Kong Qing laughed dryly, and then walked over with Zhu Lao.

Seeing that there were so many people around, the old man immediately pointed to the wooden box in the corner of the wooden car, and said with a charitable smile, "Three gold for one person, children are free"

Hearing the words of the old man, this group of children was not happy, jumped up and shouted, "Grandpa, why don't you take us money, we are also human."

"Hahaha, this kid"

"Where did the child come from, why is he not clever at all, and he is not happy if he doesn't want money"

For a while, the surrounding warriors all laughed.

Hearing this, the old man was a little stunned, but he quickly recovered, pulled the pigtails on the child's head, and said with a smile, "The child doesn't need to give money, grandpa invites you to see it for free."

"No, no, no, I want to give money, my father taught me, the more free things in the world, the more expensive they are, I don't want to be free"

"Yes, yes, yes, we all have to give money"

This group of children didn't care whether the old man agreed or not, they directly took out the gold in their pockets and threw three of them into the wooden box.

This caused the surrounding warriors to laugh.

Everyone gave money, and the old man picked up a general puppet and a female puppet. Scale Literature

"The story I am playing you today is the story of Tie Kezhuo, the victorious general of the Great Southern Kingdom, and Shen Yanfang, the princess of Liangcheng, thousands of years ago..."

The old man smiled slightly, and then picked up the general's puppet.

The puppet has a total of twelve wires, which are connected to the joint position of the puppet, one hand controls the other, and two hands can completely control the two puppets.

Ready, the old man also started the performance at the urging of the surrounding crowd.

"General Changsheng waved his robe, and five thunderclouds floated in the sky, and the dripping rain came up, and a beautiful woman chased after him..."

The story is not very exciting, but the old man's skillful manipulation techniques have attracted praise from the surrounding warriors.

Whether it is the puppet's movements and the imitation of sounds, under the old man's delicate ten fingers, the story is performed without any mistakes.

"General Changsheng suddenly opened the princess of Liangcheng and cried miserably..."

The child listens to the story from the old man's mouth, and the warrior is watching the old man's fingers twist flexibly...

"Master..."Yuan Yuanxiang suddenly looked up at Zhu Lao.

"What's wrong?"

Obviously, Zhu Lao was also concentrating on watching this puppet show, and after being interrupted by Yuan Yuanxiang, he asked suspiciously.

Kong Qing also looked at Yuan Yuanxiang curiously, and when he saw Yuan Yuanxiang's eyes suddenly calming down, Kong Qing was also a little puzzled.

"Master, do you say that this puppet is just like our warriors, bound by the twelve thin threads in the hands of the old man, and all the movements can only be carried out according to the old man's wishes"

"But if ......" Yuan Yuanxiang suddenly raised her voice, but she didn't continue, under the kind and gentle gaze of the old man, Yuan Yuanxiang didn't continue.

Chai Lao showed a rare smile, "So what do you want to say?"

Yuan Yuanxiang pursed her lips, pinched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and after a while, she looked up at Zhu Lao and asked very seriously, "If these puppets also have life, souls, and ideas, but the biggest difference between puppets and us is these twelve thin lines, if there are no thin lines, the puppets will be happy."

Hearing that what Yuan Yuanxiang wanted to say was actually this, Zhulao smiled silently, and then looked at Kong Qing, who was also in deep thought because of Yuanyuanxiang's words, and Zhulao looked up at the puppet.

"You see, although this puppet is controlled by twelve thin threads, it is these twelve thin threads that allow the puppet to walk and move like us."

"Kong Qing, Xiang'er, you can stand and think about it from another angle, if the puppets don't have these twelve thin wires, can they still stand up..."

As soon as the old man's words fell, he saw that the thin threads of the old man's fingers were broken, and the puppet also fell directly on the wooden cart.

"Oops, I'm sorry, this thread doesn't seem to be tied strongly, everyone wait a minute, I'll get it right away......"

Looking at the old man's sloppy movements, he put one hand on Yuan Yuanxiang's shoulder and the other on Kong Qing's shoulder.

Brought Kong Qing and Yuan Yuanxiang out of the crowd.

"Oh, I can't catch it like this, everyone wait a little longer, I'll take a look at ......"

As soon as he walked out of the crowd, he stopped again, walked in front of Kong Qing and Yuan Yuanxiang, and looked at Kong Qing and Yuan Yuanxiang kindly.

"Kong Qing, Xiang'er, as a teacher, I hope you promise me one thing today"

Looking at the deep eyes of the old man, Kong Qing and Yuan Yuanxiang were stunned in place at a loss.

The old man said slowly.

"You still have a long way to go, and you will encounter many difficult things in your life, maybe you will meet a strong enemy, maybe you will meet someone you want to protect very much, maybe you will be discouraged by temporary failure"

"In any case, the teacher hopes that you will not be like puppets, tightly bound by prison chains, and that everything you do and every decision you make in the future can be done according to your own ideas."

"Don't care if it's right or wrong, because the answer is in your hearts, people should live like this, live according to their own ideas, live for the people they care about, and live for their dreams"

"Don't be like the master, because even the most beautiful puppets will be bound by chains......"

Just as the old man turned around and was about to leave, the puppet thread in the old man's hand suddenly broke.

"Oops, what's going on, why is it all broken"

"Look at anything, the thread is unstable..."

Just as the crowd was about to leave, one of the children suddenly noticed that the puppet with broken strings suddenly came to life.

"Look, everyone, the puppet moved on its own..."

"Oh, hell, how did the puppet move on its own......"

Live according to your own wishes, don't be like a puppet, bound by cold chains, don't care if everything you do is right or wrong, there is no right or wrong in the world, it is the eyes of those around you who change the essence of things.

It's easy to live, it's hard to live like yourself!
