Wang Chao and Tang Zichen's encounter is in the near future, Wang Chao is on the verge of achieving Jindan at this time, next summer, the dragon snake will officially enter the last year, there are a lot of things that have happened this year, from this May to the Spring Festival of the Tang Sect Earnest Conference, is the last opportunity for himself and Luo Xiaomeng to calm down and improve themselves.

Luo Xiaomeng's kung fu has reached the current limit, and it has been more than two years since he entered the body, and with the addition of the method of forging the body and the way of practicing qi, his physical strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the realm of "breaking the void and seeing God", and it is not much better than Ba Liming, whom Wang Chao saw for the first time. However, in terms of playing style, it is not as good as a cultivator in the realm of Qi and Blood Jindan. Her will to fight may not be comparable to even a martial artist who has just entered the dark power, and her comprehensive combat power, that is, a Jindan master like Liu Mubai, is not even comparable to Yan Yuanyi, let alone standing in front of Wang Chao and God after a year and a half. At this point, she had to get out of her own way.

And he is currently practicing in many years of retreat, tempering his mind, polishing his spirit, and doing everything he wants but secretly following the rules. is not perverse or depressed, every word and deed, every move has returned to the point of casualness, which is in line with the principle of health preservation and the artistic conception of the unity of nature and man.

In the book of dragons and snakes, it is Wang Chao's kind of "taking people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses", and the realm of being able to preliminarily judge safety through the surrounding environment, only half a step away, which is the spiritual realm of "the way of sincerity, you can know in advance". Sensitive minds, wind and grass can't escape their words and deeds.

Tang Zichen relied on the realm of "Sincerity", and could sense the danger that existed in the underworld before the incident, so she went through thousands of assassinations without any damage, because she avoided all the real dangers. This is the realm of "Autumn Wind Before Moving the Cicada", which is comparable to the spiritual realm of the cultivators of the "Knowing Destiny Realm" in the main world, and it is also one of Guan Mingyu's greatest pursuits when he came to the Dragon and Snake World.

However, to take this step, Tang Zichen gave up all his force and walked through thousands of mountains and rivers step by step before stepping into this realm. Old man Guo Yunshen stepped into this realm by relying on his devotion to martial arts. In ancient times, Confucianism relied on decades of cultivation and perseverance. This step is equivalent to the "leakage of all the passes" of Buddhism and the "knowing the destiny of heaven" of Confucianism, how difficult is it?

Guan Mingyu's tempering in the past few years is just getting closer to this realm, but it is only the physical function reaction of the martial artist itself under the spiritual condensation, and other help is needed to step into this step.

Another big goal is knife skills. In terms of boxing, the boxing methods of the dragon and snake world, except for the "innate twelve entanglements" that have not yet been created by God, Guan Mingyu is basically proficient in all the rest of the boxing methods. There is only knife technique, Wang Keng's ox knife is still second, and the most important thing is Qiu Cicada's "Wuji Knife".

After next year, Wang Chao will go to the big circle to help his party and take on the title of "the world's first master", and he will fight with Wang Keng when the time comes, so you can naturally take a look. More importantly, Wang Keng's knife was defeated by Qiu Cicada's "Wuji Knife", and Qiu Cicada's Wuji Knife has already practiced the realm of "picturesque rivers and mountains", and he must see it.

If Wang Keng's knife is a technique, then Qiu Cicada's knife is the Tao, and between the two, there is a difference between cloud and mud.

Guan Mingyu once again exerted his skills in death, and took Luo Xiaomeng to the unspeakable place, to see the world's most ambitious original painting "So Many Delicate Rivers and Mountains".

There are many ways to deal with technology in the overworld, and Guan Mingyu has the system in his hand, as long as he smashes the cause and effect points, there are dozens of ways to evade guards and monitoring. He was ruthless, and for the sake of his own development, he smashed out a lot of cause and effect points and sneaked here.

In the dead of night, Guan Mingyu sneaked in with Luo Xiaomeng and stood in front of this giant painting.

In Guan Mingyu's eyes, this huge painting, which is 5.5 meters high and 9 meters long, has been hanging here for decades, and a kind of repulsive spirit permeates this solemn scene. Fu Lao and Guan Lao, under the explanation of a group of great people, took several months to complete. Fu Lao personally went to Changsha and Shaoshan to experience the great man's mood, Guan Lao walked the Great Wall for hundreds of miles, crossed the Yangtze River in person, and saw the magnificent mountains and rivers.

From the pine and green bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River to the snowy miles in the north, inside and outside the Great Wall, only the remaining recklessness, up and down the big river, suddenly lost and surging. On the east side of the painting, there is a round of red sun shining all over the mountains and rivers, which is hope and light.

The poems of the great man and the paintings of the old man complement each other.

Standing in front of this painting, Guan Mingyu was infected by the spirit of this painting, a feeling of thunderbolt in the world, competing with the sun, and in the progress of these decades, it seems to have returned to the era of pointing out the country and inspiring words.

He lowered his head and saluted Luo Xiaomeng reverently before leaving silently.

Back at the martial arts hall, he said, "Xiaomeng, starting tomorrow, let's go find our own way." My sword technique, your realm, you must find a way to improve. ”

Luo Xiaomeng was also infected by the solemn picture, and she asked: "Master, but it's June now, and although I don't have a course, I still have two subjects to take the exam." ”

"Xiao Meng, I went this time to experience thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and prepare for me to find my knife path. After seeing the autumn cicada, I will take you to find a master and improve your martial arts. If you're busy, I'll set off first, and when you're done with the exam, I'll come back to you and see this colorful martial art with you. ”

Luo Xiaomeng raised her head in surprise, she was already nineteen years old, and she only had exams left in her junior year. Since she came to the martial arts hall with Guan Mingyu, she has basically never been separated, even if it is the Spring Festival, she has only gone back once, and the rest is basically accompanied by her parents in Beijing. The school where she studied is not far away, and she occasionally doesn't go back to the martial arts gym for two days, but Guan Mingyu has been away for a month, and she has never experienced it.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I'll apply for a deferment of the exam, and I believe the professor will approve it." When the next semester starts, I'll take the exam with my classmates, and we'll go. ”

"Xiaomeng, you don't need to accommodate me, you have to go through the path you need to take, and what martial arts needs is self. You study hard, you have your classmates, your friends, you love to cry, laugh and make trouble, and you can grasp the direction in order to grasp your own destiny. ”

"Master, you are wrong. From the time you brought me to Beijing, my martial arts, my studies, and my life, you are arranging them. When you learn something, when you practice something, I do it according to your requirements. It is even more impossible to say that you would lose yourself in this way. You are you, I am me, I learn martial arts from you, and I also learn lessons from teachers, and this is nothing. ”

"Xiaomeng, you don't understand. When you were a child, you had a pure mind, and you were easily affected by external things. At that time, I taught you to be self-reliant, to teach you to be self-reliant, to teach you to be self-reliant, to love yourself, to face difficulties with a brave heart, to face life with a warm smile, and to tolerate everything you encounter with a loving heart. You're fine now, you're quiet, you're moving, you're got your own spirituality, and now, it's time to be on your own. ”

Guan Mingyu stretched out his hand, ready to touch Luo Xiaomeng's head, he suddenly remembered that Luo Xiaomeng was no longer the little girl she was back then, she was nineteen years old. Thinking of this, he paused his hand and slowly took it back.

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.

Luo Xiaomeng's body shook and fell silent, her expression serious and focused. After a while, she raised her head, her eyes were full of stubbornness: "Master, I have thought about it, I want to go with you." ”

Guan Mingyu sighed: "Okay, then you deal with things, and we'll leave next week." I'll go talk to Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu. ”

Luo Xiaomeng snorted, she lowered her head, picked up her phone, and played silently.

Traveling at public expense, Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu were naturally happy, Guan Mingyu saw this, and went back to rest by himself.

The next day, Guan Mingyu went to see Li Lao again.

Seeing Li Lao again, it has been three and a half years since the first meeting, Guan Mingyu is carrying a bottle of medicinal wine, Li Lao's hair is gray, but his mental state is very good, when Guan Mingyu went, he was boxing in the grove outside the military region.

Seeing Guan Mingyu, Li Lao didn't stop, he was stunned and changed his moves.

Li Laoxin's punch is a tiger in the shape of a tiger, his body is no longer as flexible as when he was young, but every move and style is as majestic and calm as a tiger. It wasn't until the punch was over that he stopped.

Guan Mingyu and Li Lao didn't say much, he just felt it last night, and his mind realized the magnificence of that era, so he came to see Li Lao again, and after watching the old man's punch, it was naturally enough.

Li Lao watched his back disappear and coughed violently. The more he coughed, the worse he became, until he bent down, he heard his voice clearly: "The country is picturesque, it's better than being quiet and doing nothing, this is a good seedling, don't grow crooked." ”

When Guan Mingyu returned to the martial arts hall, Luo Xiaomeng had already gone to school. She doesn't have classes now, but she has to go through the procedures for deferring the exam, so naturally the sooner the better. Guan Mingyu took a sip of porridge and was about to turn around and go back to the study when he heard Aunt Liu speak: "Xiaoguan, I have something to tell you." ”

Guan Mingyu sat down, he smiled and asked, "Aunt Liu, what's wrong?"

Aunt Liu smiled: "No, my grandson has just turned one year old, and we have been outside for many years, and we have accompanied them less, and your Uncle Wang is still chattering." While you go out, I will go back to live with your Uncle Wang, so that your Uncle Wang will not always talk about it. ”

Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu are from Hebei, and when they first arrived at the martial arts gym, they were just about fifty years old. In the blink of an eye, four or five years later, the grandchildren have turned one year old, and it is not good to be away from home for a long time. Thinking of this, Guan Mingyu had to put away the idea of inviting Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu to accompany him, he nodded and said, "It's okay, then Aunt Liu, you can go back with Uncle Wang, you can come back whenever you want." ”

Aunt Liu responded: "That's Cheng, I'm really embarrassed." Call me when you come back, your uncle and I will come back as soon as possible, and you and Xiaomeng should be careful along the way. ”

Guan Mingyu nodded, and then walked towards the study.

Aunt Liu walked all the way to the house at the door of the courtyard of the house. This room is Uncle Wang's bedroom. She walked into the house, Uncle Wang was watching TV, there was an anti-Japanese TV series playing inside, and when he saw Aunt Liu coming in, he asked, "Okay?"

Aunt Liu nodded and whispered back, "Well, Xiao Guan agreed." She then sighed, "Oh......."

Both of them fell silent, except for the rumbling of artillery fire from the TV series.
