Chapter Twenty-Three: One Breath
Although he didn't drop a drop of wine into his stomach, his body was still full of alcohol, and Zheng Ze couldn't stand the smell a little.
Xun Zilanxuan's attendant asked for a lantern, walking on the dark street, feeling the silence of no one around, without Flame Spirit Ji by his side, he suddenly had no sense of security, and his steps couldn't help but be a little faster.
"You can't afford it?" A faint voice suddenly sounded from behind him, startling him, and then reacting.
He was a little surprised, and when he turned around, he saw the flame spirit Ji shining in the light, "You didn't go back?" ”
Flame Lingji snorted lightly, and casually lifted out a sack, revealing the people inside, Zheng Ze leaned over the lantern to take a look, although his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he still recognized it.
Isn't this the person who hit him just now, looking at his current appearance, he should have been knocked unconscious by Flame Spirit Ji.
"Are you going to kill him?" Flame Spirit Ji said lightly.
This made Zheng Ze's heart pause, and he suddenly remembered that although she was looking forward to life in front of her now, she was still so indifferent to other people's lives, just like when they first met.
But how many good people are there in this world? The difference is that her means can protect herself, but the person who is beaten cannot.
Thinking that she secretly came out to vent her anger, Zheng Ze suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"No, let him go." Reached out and took the sack from his hand and threw it casually to the side of the road.
"Hmph, indecisive." Flame Lingji's face was not very good-looking, and she was very dissatisfied with Zheng Ze taking the opportunity to do something to her just now, but she planned to go back and settle the account.
Zheng Ze shook his head, it wasn't that he was kind, it was this person he really didn't take to heart.
smiled and said to Flame Spirit Ji: "Senseless people, it's not worth caring too much. What do you see this is? ”
He took out a cloth wrap from the sleeve that wasn't stained with wine and handed it to Flame Spirit Ji.
She frowned slightly, took the package, put it in her hand and opened it.
"I saw you didn't eat anything just now, in fact, Zilanxuan's pastries are not bad, you taste them, if you don't eat them, you will be hungry at night."
Flame Spirit Ji's eyes moved slightly, pursed her lips, and turned her head slightly, "Nothing to do!" ”
Picking up a piece and tasting it, she suddenly raised her head and stared at him with bright eyes, "Shouldn't this be like what you just said, be good to others first, and then make bad play with her?" ”
Zheng Ze didn't care, he shook his head with a smile, "It's just nonsense, let his wife have been better recently, and he probably won't live to be bad." Let's go, go back first. ”
The lantern reflected the figures of the two people, on the long street, walking farther and farther.
……
"There are many kinds of martial arts in the world, some people use strength to break the skill, some people use swordsmanship, and some people practice the secret art handed down from ancient times, Baiyue has mastered several powerful witchcraft, it is said that the Yin and Yang family has also obtained extremely mysterious witchcraft in the ancient inheritance, the most commonly known, there are Taoist Taoist ......"
Listening to Flame Lingji's gentle introduction, he slowly lowered his arm with a flat short knife, his face thoughtful.
"There is never a rigid judgment on the strength of these techniques, and the effects of different people are also different. But all of this has a common premise, tell me what you're going to do next, and I'll tell you how? ”
Hearing the critical moment, Flame Spirit Ji's sudden behavior of asking for payment made Zheng Ze roll his eyes, wipe the sweat on his head, and didn't know what the method was, so he casually tried physical training, but he didn't see any effect, it was just a normal appearance after exercise.
"What you're talking about isn't a secret, I guess the Seven Peerless Hall also knows."
If you don't tell me, I'll go find someone else?
Flame Spirit Ji glanced at him angrily, "Boring." ”
"Magic is just the outer way, and strength is itself. Whether it is swordsmanship or secret arts, the most powerful thing is one breath, as long as you refine the breath in your heart, you can get twice the result with half the effort and exert a power that is different from ordinary people. ”
Seeing that Zheng Ze didn't take the bait, she still told the story, to be honest, she didn't expect that the other party really didn't even know this, and for a while she couldn't think of what kind of background could have such a high level of insight and such a stretched cognition.
"...... in one breath" Zheng Ze thought about it and probably understood what she meant.
This should be equivalent to internal strength, which is the embodiment of the realm; And those swordsmanship, witchcraft and the like are combat skills, which reflect their own proficiency and personal unique experience.
"That's right, if you practice that breath early, you will definitely be able to lay a solid foundation with your qualifications. Now......" she shook her head, looking a little gloating, "As far as I know, the top mental methods for refining the breath should be mastered by the top few of the hundred schools, and only the most core disciples can be obtained." ”
Listening to her words, Zheng Ze nodded, is that ......
At present, in Xinzheng, he is preparing three things, which are different from each other but are inextricably linked.
The first is to continue to gain the favor of Flame Spirit Ji, on the one hand, because of herself, and on the other hand, because of Bai Yue behind her.
The second is to get enough money to start the next stage of the puppet, last time it did give him a big surprise, although the transformation of the body has not seen the effect at the moment, but it has a deep impact on what he will do next.
He has always been an adventurous person, just like the last time he marked "ten taels of coins", and he directly sacrificed all the treasures of a nobleman. It's the same this time, even if the mark on it is "Golden Ten Taels", his goal is very clear, that is, the 100,000 military salary in the "ghost soldier borrowing the road" rumored in Xinzheng now! However, we need to wait for the right time.
Finally, and most importantly, he is ready to do a big thing with a profound impact, which may attract the attention of all the forces in Xinzheng, and even not only Xinzheng, but also the seven kingdoms of the world, the sons of the hundred schools, and maybe they will take action for it. And getting the support of the Seven Peerless Halls, is the first step in this matter!
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Seeing that he was still calm and relaxed, Flame Spirit Ji frowned lightly and asked with some curiosity.
Judging from these days, she felt that this person must have a big thing hidden in his heart, and she couldn't say how big it was. Anyway, with the other party's enthusiasm for martial arts, he must attach great importance to this aspect.
Knowing that your talent is wasted, isn't it in a hurry?
Zheng Ze raised his head and looked at her bright cheeks, "Being anxious is the most useless emotion, maybe you should think about it, if one day I am stronger than you, what kind of attitude should you have towards me." ”
Hearing this, Flame Spirit Ji disdained, there has never been a way to trick herself in martial arts, so why should she be one step faster?
At this moment, the people from the Seven Peerless Hall came to visit, and the two glanced at each other, Zheng Ze knew that the person he was waiting for was coming!
