Zhou Dezhou silently left the Guardian's camp and began his journey. He made his way through a barren land to an ancient town.

During a long and difficult journey, Zhou Dezhou came to a strange town. He had been walking for a long time, and he was already starving to death, and he wanted to find a place to rest, so he walked into a small restaurant.

Zhou Dezhou sat down and ordered a bowl of noodles and a glass of water. He slowly ate the noodles, feeling his body gradually regain some strength.

Just then, he saw an old man with a hunched back and a cane coming in at the door. The old man was dressed in an old robe, his hair was gray, and wrinkles were deep on his face.

The old man walked up to Zhou Dezhou, he gently tapped the table with his cane, and said, "It looks like you're hungry." ”

"Yes, I've come a long way." Zhou Dezhou expressed his gratitude.

"Young man, what are you looking for?" The old man asked.

"I'm looking for someone, my friend." Zhou Dezhou replied frankly.

"Friend......," the old man pondered for a moment, "I may be able to help you, but I need you to do me a favor." ”

Zhou Dezhou did not hesitate and immediately expressed his willingness to help the old man.

"There's an ancient artifact here, and I need it for one of my tasks. However, it is controlled by an evil force and I can't get close. Can you go and get this artifact back? The old man asked.

"Absolutely." Zhou Dezhou replied without hesitation.

The old man pointed out a location, and Zhou Dezhou launched a search operation. He faced many challenges and dangers, but in the end, he succeeded in retrieving the artifact.

"Thank you very much, young man." "In return," said the old man, "I can tell you a piece of information. To the southeast, there is a mysterious kingdom that is said to contain an ancient treasure that may contain the clues you're looking for. ”

Zhou Dezhou embarks on a journey to the southeast, and he knows that this journey will be full of challenges and dangers, but he also believes that he has enough courage and wisdom to deal with it.

Along the way, Zhou Dezhou encountered many strange people and things. He once helped a wounded hunter and had dinner with a group of traveling merchants.

Zhou Dezhou came to a calm and quaint town, where the streets are clean and tidy, the people are simple, and the people's lives are very comfortable. He rested in the town for a while, wanting to know a little bit about the place.

It just so happened that an old man came up to him, he looked kind and amiable, on crutches, and he was a man with a story. Zhou Dezhou walked over and greeted him: "Hello, Venerable, I am a traveler, how is the situation here?" ”

The old man shook his head slowly, looking a little worried. "The town has always been very peaceful, but recently it has become polluted. The land there has turned yellow, and even the water has become muddy. ”

Hearing these words, Zhou Dezhou felt very confused, "Polluted land? Can you tell me more about it? ”

The old man nodded, "The Tainted Land is an area eroded by the forces of darkness. It's been around for a long time, but we haven't found a workaround. ”

Zhou Dezhou thought of the mysterious gem in his hand, "Venerable, I may have a way to help you solve this problem. ”

The old man looked at Zhou Dezhou, looking a little puzzled, "You said you have a way?" What is this gemstone capable of? ”

Zhou Dezhou showed the gem in his hand, "This is a very magical gem. I'm not sure if it can clean up the polluted land, but I'd like to give it a try. ”

The old man nodded, still a little skeptical: "I have never seen such a gem, but if you can solve the problem of polluted land, it is a blessing for our town." ”

Zhou Dezhou replied with confidence: "Venerable, rest assured, I will do my best to solve this problem. ”

So, Zhou Dezhou came to the polluted land. He found it to be a dead land, barren, dry, and desolate. The harsh sunlight and gloomy sky mingle with an endless loneliness that envelops the area.

Zhou Dezhou carefully observed the gem in his hand, and he tried to use its power to purify the polluted land. At this moment, he heard a voice.

"Shhhhhhhhhh A laugh rang out, which surprised Zhou Dezhou a little.

He turned around and found a foreign woman watching his every move not far behind him. She was dressed in a dark robe and wore a black hat, and she looked very mysterious.

"I'm Zhou Dezhou, a traveler, and I'm here to clean up the polluted land and save this town." Zhou Dezhou explained to her.

The woman didn't answer immediately, but quietly observed Zhou Dezhou, "You have a very mysterious gem, do you really believe that it can purify this barren land?" ”

When Zhou Dezhou heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited, "It can afford this responsibility." I will use my inner force to stimulate its energy to achieve this. ”

The woman looked at Zhou Dezhou for a while, and then spoke again: "Then, since you want to save this place, then you need my help, and I will teach you how to use it to maximize its effect." ”

Zhou Dezhou smiled slightly, "Thank you for your help." ”

The woman shook her head, "There's nothing to be thankful for, after all, I also want this land to have a new lease of life." ”

After that, under the guidance of the woman, Zhou Dezhou successfully used the power of the gem and finally purified the polluted land. When he returned to the town, he found that it had been renovated and full of life and energy.

The old man was very happy to see this scene, "You really did it, and you really solved the problem of our town." ”

Zhou Dezhou showed a kind smile, "It was this lady who taught me how to use this gem." ”

The old man bowed to Zhou Dezhou and said gratefully, "Thank you very much and your friends, you have given our town a new lease of life. ”

In a vast grassland, Zhou Dezhou strolled, enjoying the quiet and beautiful scenery. He felt that his internal strength was getting stronger and stronger, but he still felt that he had a lot of deficiencies and needed more cultivation.

At this moment, he saw an old man on crutches walking towards him. The old man looked kind and amiable, dressed in a gray robe, with a kind expression, full of wisdom and trust.

"Young man, I see that you are not small, you are a person who knows internal skills, right?" The old man spoke.

Zhou Dezhou smiled and nodded, "Yes, Venerable, I will have some internal skills." ”

The old man looked at Zhou Dezhou affectionately, as if he had a hint, "My child, your internal strength is not strong enough. If you want to become a true warrior, you'll have to learn how to unleash deadly attacks. ”

Hearing this proposal, Zhou Dezhou was a little strange, "Venerable, is there an opportunity to learn this skill here?" ”

The old man smiled, "I'm not talking about this. Wait, let me see your level of internal strength. He stretched out his right hand, easily crushed a small flower, and then looked at Zhou Dezhou affectionately and asked, "Can your internal strength do this?" ”

Zhou Dezhou took a deep breath, stared at the old man's gaze, concentrated, and used his internal strength to try to crush a leaf. He had been concentrating and found that there could not be even the slightest shaking, and after countless attempts, he finally did it.

The old man looked at Zhou Dezhou and smiled, "Very good, you have done it." Well, I'll teach you how to deliver a lethal attack. ”

"A deadly attack?" Zhou Dezhou asked in surprise, "Will you teach me how to kill?" ”

The old man shook his head, "My child, violence is not the only way to solve problems. A lethal attack can mean striking at the opponent's vital point and depriving them of the opportunity to fight back. This requires a certain amount of skill and a way to apply internal forces. ”

Zhou Dezhou listened attentively to the old man's words, looking forward to the next teaching.

The old man said succinctly, "First of all, you need to learn to transmit internal forces to your fingers. When you master this technique, you will be able to unleash deadly attacks. ”

Zhou Dezhou felt excited and excited, "So, what should I do?" ”

The old man smiled gently, "First of all, relax your body. Then, concentrate your internal forces on your fingers so that you can gather your power into a force that can strike at the enemy's vital points. ”

Zhou Dezhou was eager to try, "Okay, Venerable, I understand. Could you please demonstrate this? ”

The old man nodded, stretched out a hand, gently flicked a small piece of grass, gathered an internal force on his fingers, and then tore the grass apart with all his might.

When Zhou Dezhou saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and felt the strength and experience of the old man. He understood that he still needed to keep practicing and learning in order to become a true martial artist.

"Thank you for your teachings, Your Holiness. I will work hard to master this technique as soon as possible. Zhou Dezhou said with confidence.

The old man nodded, "My child, remember, there is a limit to internal strength, and you must learn to use it reasonably." ”

Zhou Dezhou took a deep breath and felt his inner peace and faith, "Thank you for your guidance, Venerable. I will remember your teachings. ”

On this grassland, Zhou Dezhou mastered new techniques, learned to deliver deadly attacks, and understood the importance and limitations of internal strength. He is determined to continue to practice, grow, and become a true martial artist.
