"My Dragon and Tiger Mountain five-grade talisman seal, produced by the Heavenly Master's Mansion, is hand-carved by the master of the Zhang family's lineage, and if thrown out, it can at least raze the five zhang radius to the ground."

Chen Qisheng slapped his round arm on the table, and roared with a hideous face: "At least it can be worth 50,000 treasure bills!" ”

"Who are you bluffing, where is the sign of the Heavenly Master's Mansion on it? You will be recognized at most 10,000. Zou Sijiu pursed his lips.

"Zou Shenstick, do you know the goods? At least 40,000, no less! ”

Zou Sijiu rolled his eyes: "Twenty thousand." ”

"Okay, 20,000 is 20,000!"

Chen Qisheng's eyes were red, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Deal!" I'll definitely get it all back! ”

"Set? Then I'll deal the cards. ”

The master of the dragon, whose figure was shrunk to the point where he was no different from ordinary people, glanced at Zou Sijiu without a trace, and with a flick of his wrist, the cards that had been passed down from Xiyi fell from his palm.

Zou Sijiu glanced at the cards in his hand, and his brows suddenly furrowed: "I don't call this one." ”

"I don't call either." The Lord of the Worm followed suit, his tone full of melancholy.

"Looks like you're running out of firepower? Hahahaha, feng shui takes turns, and finally it comes to my house, I call! ”

Chen Qisheng's eyebrows fluttered, and he reached out to touch the three hole cards covered in the center of the table.

"Kick."

"Kick."

Chen Qisheng was about to open the palm of the hole card when his palm came to an abrupt halt, and his suspicious gaze flashed back and forth between the two.

"What are you doing in a daze, you still can't scream?"

Chen Qisheng glanced up at Fan Wuji, who was standing behind Zou Sijiu, holding his shoulders with both hands, nodded quietly, and said a word silently with his lips: Dry!

Chen Qisheng suddenly became angry, no longer hesitated, and reached out to grab the hole card back.

"Kick me, huh? Look at Dao Ye, how am I going to clean up you two this time! ”

Chen Qisheng laughed cruelly, took out a card with two fingers and threw it on the table.

"Three dozen heads, don't worry!"

"If you can't afford it, too."

Zou Sijiu pinched the cards expressionlessly, raised his hand and knocked on the table.

"You can't afford to pay for three, what kind of cards do you still play, this will definitely kill you"

"Fried!"

A low shout suddenly sounded, Chen Qisheng looked at the master with an incredible expression, and asked with a trembling voice: "Three. Are you all fried? ”

"Can't you?"

The master said arrogantly: "My main thing is that the momentum is enough, don't care how I fight, just ask if you want it?" ”

"You're out! I don't believe you can just kill me! ”

Chen Qisheng hesitated again and again, and finally chose to check.

"Three with one."

Chen Qisheng raised his eyebrows: "I'll care."

"See clearly, I'm three against three with one"

The master almost finished playing all the cards, leaving the last one in his hand and shaking it in front of Chen Qisheng's pale face.

"I've made a request."

"Me"

Chen Qisheng immediately regretted not being at the beginning, but before he could breathe a sigh, he heard Zou Sijiu smile and spit out a word.

"Fried!"

"I haven't shouted yet, why are you panicking?"

Zou Sijiu smiled, raised his hand and made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you come out." Anyway, the biggest bomb is in my hands, so it's a big deal for you to add more. ”

Chen Qisheng lowered his gaze inch by inch, and Mu Ran looked at the cards in his hand.

He can indeed ask for the master's card, but if he asks for it, his backhand will be intercepted by Zou Sijiu.

"Can't you afford it? It seems that this time Feng Shui still hasn't been your turn. ”

Zou Sijiu threw out the fried card slowly, and then drew out a 'three' and put it on the table.

"Four."

The Lord let out a relieved exhalation and sighed, "What a narrow victory! ”

"Win!"

Fan Wuji raised his hands high and high-fived Zou Sijiu.

"Xiao Hei, tell Lord Ma and let him not recuperate. Today, our Chen Daoye generously donated money and invited us to go to the White Emperor Mixed Hall to be chic! ”

"Great!"

Bang!

The master collided with his fists, and said in a solemn tone: "It seems that there is another practical class, and this time I will definitely be able to improve a lot!" ”

Airplanes.

The flying sword crashed into the abyss and slowly emerged from behind Chen Qisheng, the sword body trembled, and the tail flame was blazing.

The cards were crumpled into fine powders and sprinkled between the Taoist's fingers. The corners of Chen Qisheng's eyes twitched, and he said word by word: "You cheated me?" ”

"You can't afford to lose, can you?!"

Zou Sijiu moved like a rabbit, dodging behind the master, only poking out half of his head.

"You dare to rely on the account of the Sanpin Mojia, Chen Qisheng, you think clearly!"

Chen Qisheng bowed his back and stood up, reached out and grabbed the sword, and looked at Zou Sijiu fixedly: "Master, get out of the way, I will give you no bad money." But Zou Sijiu, the bastard, must drop a few taels of meat today! ”

"Pay attention to your appearance before class, and don't bring a bloody body, otherwise it will affect the teacher's performance."

The master moved a step sideways, exposing Zou Sijiu behind him.

"Lord You"

Zou Sijiu was furious, but after being glanced at by the master of the, he almost swallowed the swear words that came to his lips, and turned his head to point to Fan Wuyi on the side.

"Why don't you cut him, what's just staring at me?!"

Chen Qisheng rolled his eyes when he heard this, and the tip of his sword pointed directly at Fan Wujiao.

"What's the matter with me!"

Fan Wuyi was so rushed back a few steps by the murderous aura that rushed in front of him, and his back was against the wall: "I didn't even go to the table!" ”

"It's not you, how could I be called?! Fan is not guilty, die! ”

In the midst of a loud and screaming movement, a weak and helpless voice slowly sounded.

"Didn't I say, did you play cards in the ward like this?"

In the twelfth year of Jiaqi, the seventh day of the fifth month.

On the fifth day after the Osaka Castle incident, Li Jun finally woke up in the medical room of Inuyama Castle Hyaknohesu.

Li Jun grinned and said to Chen Qisheng: "Don't be stunned, you cut people first." It just so happened that I also saw red, so I thought it was a rush. ”

"Dead !!!"

After a while, calm finally returned to the medical room, and only Li Jun and the master were left.

"I didn't expect you, Lord Chi, to be in Osaka Castle all along. If I had known this, I wouldn't have played with the wilderness. ”

Li Jun leaned on the head of the bed, his pale face still had a faint dull yellow, and the dark circles under his eyes made his expression look particularly dry.

"If you don't play with him, then I can only collect your body, and at most kill him to help you avenge it."

The master said lightly: "Although Su Ce is very optimistic about you, you have to come by yourself who should be killed." I won't say the truth, but you should be able to understand it. ”

Although there is a relationship between Su Ce, Li Jun and the master are not familiar with each other, and even now it is the first official meeting of one person and one Jia.

"Understood."

Li Jun didn't care about the slightly cold attitude of the Lord, and said sincerely: "But anyway, thank you this time." ”

The master waved his hand: "You don't need to thank me, but I should thank you." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met you. ”

Elegant?

Li Jun, who had just woken up, was confused, and the master didn't explain too much, turned around and walked towards the door.

"You should talk about the matter of Wuxu by yourself."

The master standing by the door raised his hand and snapped his fingers, then closed the door and left.

The light in the room dimmed suddenly, and a craggy cliff rose from the floor.

In the projection, Su Ce sat alone on the edge of the cliff, holding a wrist-thick metal fishing rod in his hand, and a churning wave under his feet.

"Awake?"

Su Ce casually inserted the terrifyingly thick fishing rod into the cliff rock, and said in a tone with a hint of envy: "It's a day earlier than I expected, and it seems that the genes of the Solo Martial Order are indeed much stronger than the Sect Martial Order." When the old man was beaten so badly like you, he was in a coma for half a month before he woke up. ”

"The desolate world is dead."

Li Jun's words had no beginning or end, but Su Ce understood what he meant.

"Are you wondering why you still couldn't be promoted to Martial Fourth after killing Huang Shilie?"

Li Jun said in a deep voice: "That's right. ”

Huang Shilie, the fourth martial order of the sect, is the promotion ritual prepared by Su Ce for Li Jun.

Although Su Ce didn't say it explicitly from beginning to end, Li Jun was not a stupid person and had already understood this.

But after he killed the desolate Shilie, he didn't gain anything other than a whopping 270 mastery points.

This has nothing to do with Li Jun's missing last five-grade body method.

The fact that all the exercises injected have reached the current stage of the Great Perfection is only the best condition for promotion, not a necessary condition.

At the moment when the aura of the desolate world was cut off, Li Jun clearly felt that the genes in his body were boiling to the peak, but he was still one line away from completely breaking through the invisible door that imprisoned the rest of the silent genes.

Li Jun knows very well that the gap in this line is not something that can be made up by the little gene carried by the five-grade body method.

The real problem is sadhana.

In other words, the fact that he defeated the desolate world martyr across the order was not the ritual for him to be promoted to the fourth rank of the solo martial order, and it did not make his genes really 'excited' to the limit!

"I'm wrong."

Su Ce sighed, "I originally thought that raising the difficulty of the sect's martial arts promotion ritual by another level should be able to meet the requirements of your sequence." But now it seems that I still underestimated the strength of the lone martial order, and also underestimated the unwillingness and fear in the hearts of those predecessors. ”

"Senior."

Li Jun frowned, and asked for some reason, "What do they have to do with my promotion?" ”

"You kid wouldn't think that the branch of the Solo Martial Order was born out of thin air, right? Everything in this world is traceable, and if you don't know it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. ”

Su Ce said with a smile: "The Taoist priest said that three feet above his head is the abode of the gods, the monk pays attention to the Buddha and sits in his heart, and the scholar puts Confucius on the altar, to put it bluntly, he is looking for a foothold and a source for his own sequence." ”

"As the oldest sequence of the Martial Order, this is beyond the reach of any other sequence. The traces of Wuxu's existence can be traced back to the end of the history of the Ming people, and even include those myths and stories that cannot be distinguished from the fake. So we don't have to believe in any God at all, but in ourselves. But what is the source in ourselves? ”

Speaking of this, Su Ce deliberately paused to give Li Jun enough time to digest.

In the long silence, the surging waves were still crashing against the reef under the cliff, the broken waves were foaming at the beginning, and the roaring sound echoed in Li Jun's ears.

"It's instinct."

Li Jun finally spoke up and gave his own answer.

"That's right, instinct."

Su Ce smiled with satisfaction: "When people come to this world, the first thing they do is not to cry, but to clench their fists and prepare to face the unknown. Even those inhuman Huangliang ghosts, after taking away the human body, were ready to fight and kill as soon as they opened their eyes. ”

"The rest of the sequences are repetition of past history. We are the only ones who face the unknown after history. This sentence may seem like a trick on the part of those religious believers, but one day you will understand what it means when you get to my point. ”

Li Jun tried his best to maintain the clarity of his thinking and asked, "What does that instinct have to do with the predecessors?" ”

"Born with 'this', but 'ability' is the accumulation of generations of people, it is the martial arts that they have refined by swinging their fists and swords day and night, and it is the method of martial order."

Su Ce replied: "If you inject martial arts, you have inherited the 'ability' of your predecessors. If you have received their favor, you will naturally inherit their enmity and ambition. Think back to your previous sadhana, and you should be able to understand it. ”

Countless pictures changed in Li Jun's mind like a marquee.

It is the corpse of the cold blade on the blood gold ring on Kowloon Street.

It is the quiet streets of Songpanwei and the collapsed Buddha country of Mucuo.

It is a vicious lone man who drinks blood and chews Buddha's bones, and it is a murderous man in the flaming golden building.

"If you are a sect martial arts like me, and you are infused with the same line of martial arts, then it will not be too difficult to face the pass, because even if a sect is prosperous, how many people can there be, and how many are qualified to leave their genes? Very few. ”

Even if all these martial arts on your body are cultivated by yourself step by step, then there will be no threshold at all, and naturally there will be no need for any so-called rituals. ”

"But that old-fashioned cultivation method has long been lost in history, and even if you want to practice it yourself, there will be no cheats or anything like that for you to learn. Using the injector is equivalent to taking the favor of others, saving the ink and wash work of the drop stone, and at the same time, you will naturally have to face the test they give you. ”

"There is no restriction on injecting martial arts into the solitary martial arts order, that is, with thousands of people as teachers, it is natural to face the difficulties of thousands of people!"

Su Ce's voice was low: "Or, in other words, facing their fear and unwillingness. ”

Speaking of which, Li Jun did not ask again what fear and unwillingness were, because the answer was already obvious.

After the lone martial order appeared in the 'world divided into martial arts', the fear of the predecessors naturally came from the enemies of the year, and the unwillingness was their powerlessness to decline the martial order.

"It's such a difficult path, if those old bastards who don't admit defeat don't want to kill their own people, they should leave some special instincts for those who follow your path. You can rise so fast, I'm afraid this is the reason. ”

Su Ce's words made Li Jun's heart tighten, and he instantly thought of the black fonts that appeared in front of him when he killed someone.

On the cliff, Su Ce looked at Li Jun, who pursed his lips and looked hesitant in the picture, and laughed: "Then you kid looks like this, don't worry, the old man is not interested in what those bastards left behind." As long as the old man has not died for a day, then the lone line may not be able to defeat the sect! ”

Su Ce's words changed sharply, and he said solemnly: "But no matter who asks in the future, you must be like now, and you can't confide a word." Now in the entire Ming Empire, I know that you are the only one left who is still alive. Others, either as slices for research, or as breeding cattle and horses. ”

Li Jun nodded heavily: "I remember!" ”

"My experience doesn't apply to you anymore. It's up to you to decide what your future path will be. ”

Su Ce sat on the edge of the cliff, his hair fluttering, facing the endless sea, and laughed loudly: "But don't go too slowly, you kid, the old man doesn't have so much time to wait for you!" ”

The projection snapped, and the rod stuck in the cliff suddenly bent downward, making a tooth-aching, twisting sound.

There are fish on the hook!

Su Ce grabbed the rod, and the sea exploded, and a vicious shark with a body size of two feet jumped up through the sea and flew towards the cliff.

Poof!

The long pole was like a spear, and it easily pierced the body of the evil shark.

At this moment, a flat boat broke through the waves on the sea in the distance, and on the bow of the boat stood a middle-aged scholar with an elegant temperament.

Before the person arrived, the sound came first.

"Huating Xu Valve, Xu Haichao, I've seen Senior Su!"

Bang!

Su Ce's palm holding the fishing rod shook slightly, and the corpse of the evil shark that penetrated it instantly exploded into a misty blood mist, which was blown by the strong wind on the cliff and disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't so much a fishing rod as a bladeless steel spear that gently swung between Su Ce's fingers.

I saw him grasp the middle of the spear and throw it at the boat that was galloping from a great distance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The spear that escaped was like a siege crossbow that was off the string, piercing a deafening sonic boom, and the wind that swept through the deep ravines on the sea.

The middle-aged scholar's face on the head of the boat changed in an instant, and he didn't care about any demeanor, so he was busy flying and jumping.

The spear hit the boat like a cannonball, exploding a column of water that soared into the sky.

The outer layer of steel decorated with antique wood grain instantly shattered and flew in all directions.

Xu Haichao, who was drenched in seawater, stood on a large wreckage, and looked at the pair of eyes on the cliff with anger in his heart.

"Senior Su, what does this mean?"

Across the sea, Xu Haichao's voice still came clearly into Su Ce's ears.

"This is my meeting gift for Li Bufeng for you, are you still satisfied?"

Xu Haichao's hands hidden in his sleeve robe suddenly clenched into fists, and a reluctant smile on his face, "Of course I am satisfied." ”

"It's good to be satisfied."

Su Ce nodded, and said with an indifferent expression: "The old man asks you again, do you understand?" ”

"I understand, I must be kind to all the Jinyi Wei brothers in the Japanese District."

"Put the bright spots, and after this period of time with your tail between your legs, you can take whatever benefits you want. But if you dare to pretend in front of the old man and play these tricks, next time it will not be fishing, it will be fishing for you. ”

Xu Haichao, who was standing on the sea, looked at the figure on the cliff that walked away, and the expression on his face was always respectful.

It wasn't until Su Ce's figure completely disappeared that his right hand slowly poked out of his cuff, holding an electronic case between his fingers.

Click.

Xu Haichao's five fingers were closed, and the fine cracks instantly spread to the screen of the case, and a line of words could be vaguely seen in the flickering picture.

[On the Settlement of Su Ce of Jinyi Wei Thousand Households in the Wa District]

"I don't understand why you don't want to hear it, but."

A smile slowly appeared on Xu Haichao's face: "It's exactly what I want." ”
