Years later.

When Xiao Liuzi became famous in the rivers and lakes, broke into a great name, and was called the sixth master by the world.

His apprentice asked him curiously one day, the palm of his left hand was broken when he met that strong enemy in that great battle, Xiao Liuzi replied.

"What kind of big war, what kind of big war, strong enemy? What kind of strong enemy am I in front of that adult, I'm afraid that I can't even count as an opponent, and my palm is purely for the tuition paid by this Jianghu. ”

The disciple was shocked and asked who it was?

Xiao Liuzi looked up at the sky, his gaze was far away, as if he wanted to see the world above the sky.

......

In the tea shop, several people from the Five Holy Gates had already left, and Lin Kuohai called the store back again.

If the tea shop is opened in this kind of place, the store will naturally be surprised by the scene in the tea shop, and pick up the tools on the side and start cleaning up.

In fact, when digging deeper, people like the store can be regarded as half of the people in the rivers and lakes, and when checking out, Ah Qiduo gave the store a little silver, and the store flattered and thanked him.

"By the way, you can go and buy a better coffin for the white-clothed man on the ground to collect the body, and when someone comes to look for it, it is estimated that you can get a sum of silver. ”

Before riding the horse and leaving, Shen Ming turned his head and pointed to Gao Cheng's corpse and said with a smile to the shopkeeper.

After leaving the tea shop, the four of them still went to Yanlai City at the original speed, and the itinerary was not affected because of the incident of the Five Holy Gates.

"Master, why didn't you kill them all just now, especially the one named Xiao Liuzi. ”

Thinking about what happened just now, relying on the fact that she had become familiar with Shen Ming a lot in the past few days, Ah Duoer had the courage to ask.

Shen Ming knew what Aduo'er wanted to express, smiled, and said, "This is the reason why you have been unable to break through the Innate Realm for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Adol was even more puzzled.

Shen Ming said: "Although your current martial arts are first-class in the rivers and lakes, your state of mind is still third-rate, in the final analysis, although your body is far away from the threat of that monster, but in your heart, you are still living in the shadow of that monster." ”

Ah Qi added coldly: "Sir never regards the people he has defeated as a threat, let alone this kind of goods that are not taken seriously by Mr. at all, and there is no one in this world who can defeat Mr. ”

Hearing this, Adol was shocked, and immediately stopped talking, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, obviously gaining something from these words.

As Ah Qi said, Shen Ming has never regarded those people he let go of as opponents or threats, even if he thinks Xiao Liuzi is very interesting, and he may be a character in the future, and he doesn't even mind mentioning a few words, but in his heart, Xiao Liuzi is no different from seeing a good sword for him.

What is a strong person?

Infinite strength is strong, resourcefulness is unparalleled, invincible in the world is strong?

Perhaps these can be called strong.

But only the strong in the soul is the real strong, the strong should be indomitable, all the way forward, the strong, when not afraid of any threats and challenges in the world, the strong, are not extremely confident in their own people.

Compared with martial arts, Xiuzhen pays more attention to the state of mind, and for cultivators, the state of mind is the first place, and qualifications and resources are still second.

It is precisely because of this kind of self-improvement and self-confidence that Shen Mingfang has been able to cultivate from an ordinary person who does not know how to practice to his current realm in just thirty years.

......

Yanlai City.

It is located in the place of transportation hub, through the north and south, even the east and west, the business is prosperous, and the terrain is dangerous, there is a Xiongguan, the city resident excellent soldiers and horses are very famous in the rivers and lakes or the court, and at the same time with the other two famous cities in the northwest, they are called the three cities in the northwest by the people of the rivers and lakes.

For a city, with fame comes everything, population, wealth, trade...... All these things will come with fame.

Lin Kuohai's Four Seas Dart Bureau, it is precisely because he feels that Yanlai City is famous in the rivers and lakes, and it is also in a superior position, suitable for taking darts and taking orders, so he opened the dart game here.

It was almost evening, and in the distance, Lin Kuohai rode his horse and pointed to the brightly lit Yanlai City in front of him.

"Brother Shen, there is Yanlai City in front. ”

As the saying goes, even if you have seen Yanlai City from afar, by the time Shen Ming and the others really arrived, it was already completely dark.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were quite sturdy, all of them were armed with swords and armor, and when they saw the dress of Shen Ming and the others, they naturally knew that their group was from the rivers and lakes.

"Yo, Lin Darttou is back, this trip is good, right?"

The soldiers guarding the gate knew Lin Kuohai, greeted him with a smile, and then ordered his men to open the city gate and let them go.

"General Liu, accept your auspicious words, this harvest is okay, it's so late, this bit of silver is the wine money I invited my brothers to drink. ”

Lin Kuohai replied with a smile, handed over some silver, and then led a few people who entered the city gate to the Four Seas Dart Bureau.

"I haven't seen you for thirty years, if it weren't for the three words Yanlai City at the gate of the city just now, I would have thought I had returned to the capital. ”

Along the way, Shen Ming was really surprised by the prosperous night scene of Yanlai City.

Although it was late at night, the city was still full of pedestrians, and the shops on both sides of the street were still lit up and their doors were open, and the whole city was like daylight.

"Haha, it's rare to see Brother Shen's expression, Yanlai City has indeed changed a lot over the years, and it is also thanks to the blessing of the one sitting on the dragon chair, since he succeeded to the throne for thirty years, he has made great efforts to govern and vigorously reform, so that the government and the opposition are clear, and he is really a hero. ”

Shen Ming wasn't interested in paying attention to any male masters, the years of penance in the Great Snow Mountain had changed his opinion a lot, and for him who set foot on the road of cultivation, the Emperor's Diagram hegemony was really just an empty one, so he just calmly followed Lin Kuohai's guidance all the way forward.

After a while, several people arrived at the Sihai Dart Bureau under the leadership of Lin Kuohai, Lin Kuohai knocked on the door, and the door was opened by an old man with white hair.

Shen Mingzai looked at the old man, and found that it was a little familiar, and after a closer look, he remembered that he was hiding in Lin Kuohai's dart team, and the leader seemed to be the old man.

The years are really unforgiving, will I have such a day?

Shen Ming looked at the old man, and then at Lin Kuohai, whose hair was already gray, and couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, he suddenly remembered a question recorded on the first page of the opening chapter of "The Avenue to Heaven".

Why do you practice?

The answer he gave in his heart was revenge, revenge, revenge!

Later, years of lonely practice resolved a lot of his anger, and the answer became revenge and revenge!

And now, he felt that he should have one more purpose for his cultivation.

In order to live longer, the road of eternal life mentioned in the certificate will see more scenery, listen to more stories, and even make your own stories spread between heaven and earth.
