Sun Zikai sat in the courtyard for a long time, he always placed himself on the edge of one "connection", and then tried to set aside a clear path and enter the center.

An hour later, he walked out of the door, Feng Yueyi was waiting for her, she wondered, "How have you practiced qi for a while?" Is this the reason why the rich master suddenly wants to take you as an apprentice? ”

"Why are you here?" Sun Zikai asked.

"I'll lead you to recognize the way, lest you be taken away by the Ma family halfway." Feng Yueyi stuck out her tongue, led Sun Zikai out of the door, and said, "Ma Dairan of the Medicine Sect and Ma Guanzheng of the Shu Sect are the two big leaders of the Ma family, and the Ma family of these two factions has the most, in addition, Qu Hanrong of the Medicine Sect is the lackey of the Ma family. She lowered her voice and whispered: "They are all bad people, their hearts are bad, they should stay away from them, and my master said, that old woman of Zhi Weici is not a good thing, and don't believe what she said, but no, her apprentice Sister Runan is a good person, and she is my sister." ”

"The master of the Tiger Gate can't get together with anyone, but he is the benefactor of your master and my master, you have to respect him, and oh, Ma Guanzheng's son Ma Yuhong, it's not easy to mess with, don't provoke him, it's very fierce! His cousin is Ma Kaiyu, who is praised as a genius, but in fact, they are all brewed with medicine, as well as the two of them's little followers and little lackeys! Hmph, one is Qu Yuezhi, and the other is Yang Huanman. ”

"Yang Huanman?" Sun Zikai said suspiciously, "I remember that there was a girl named Yang Youshi." ”

"Yang Youshi is Yang Huanman, Ma Dairan's old man disliked that name was too vulgar, so he changed it for her, that guy was very obedient, let her do whatever she wanted, my master said, she was cultivated by the Ma family, and the minions of Ma Yuhong and Ma Kaiyu in the future are just like the relationship between Ma Dairan, Ma Guanzheng and Qu Hanrong now, hey!"

It seems that Feng Yueyi forgot that Sun Zikai had told her that he was Yang Youshi's friend. But he didn't care about this, and asked instead: "What is the realm of Ma Dairan and Ma Guanzheng?" ”

"Jin Danbei."

Sun Zikai recalled that Jiang Yujin had told him about the cultivation realm, after practicing qi, it was to build the foundation, consolidate the yuan, accumulate the spirit, and tie the pill, and after the knot, it was the golden pill, and only those who had the golden pill could go to heaven and earth.

"Is it strong?"

"Of course, Ma Dairan is a third-grade golden pill, Ma Guan is a fourth-grade golden pill, my master and your master were eager to tie the Dan back then, and they didn't accumulate enough aura, they are all seven-grade golden pills, don't look at the number is not much different, the difference in strength is really worlds apart, our master was yin by the Ma family back then, and almost died, it was the Humen master who risked his own half of his life and saved them, and the Humen master was also moved by the Ma family, and he was only a sixth-grade Jindan."

"What's the trick?" Sun Zikai asked puzzled.

"Fool" Feng Yueyi said, "The geniuses of the Ma family are all boiled out of medicine, our masters are all real geniuses, like your master began to form a pill before he was twenty years old, he can accumulate ten years, twenty years or even more of the aura, to reach the realm of the second grade or even the first grade of the golden pill, but the Ma family does not allow this kind of thing to happen, so they lead him into danger, forcing him to break through in advance, in the case of insufficient preparation, your master also broke through to the seventh grade, it is really not easy." ”

"Doesn't the sect care?"

"What's the matter, the sect master turned out to be the apprentice of Ma Dairan's father, because of the situation, he was reluctant to tear his face with the Ma family at first, but later realized that the Ma family's power had developed to an uncontrollable point, and it was too late to do it, the Ma family pushed him to become the sect master, and the sect master protected the Ma family, and it turned out to be a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger now." She looked around, her words and deeds were very cunning and cute, and she leaned over and whispered: "My master said that the sect master has been assassinated by the Ma family more than ten times, you quietly, don't tell others." ”

Sun Zikai couldn't hold back, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Girl, you are a big mouth, you promised me to keep it secret, and you told your master so quietly." ”

"Oh, that's... It was an accident. Feng Yueyi blushed shyly, "Not in the future, my mouth is very strict." She hurriedly changed the words and said: "The apprentice of the master of the Tiger Gate, Brother Gao Yang, he is very good, you can ask him for help with anything, he was originally a little beggar in the city, he was met by the Lord of the Tiger Gate, and when he had not yet stepped into the path of cultivation, he was accepted as an apprentice, my master can say that a master like the master of the Tiger Gate can't take care of himself in life, and Brother Gao Yang can cultivate to the fifth stage of qi cultivation by himself, which can be said to be very good." ”

"You are also very good, you have practiced the second stage of qi."

"Hehe, I just broke through yesterday, but Yang Huanman's guy broke through to the third stage, hey, it's good to have medicine, now I'm at the bottom, oh no, you're at the bottom, hehe."

Crossed the Xianyuan High Bridge, came to the west, just went out a hundred steps away, a middle-aged man stopped in front of the two, Feng Yueyi whispered that it was the Ma family, and then lowered his head and no longer dared to speak.

Sun Zikai looked at the man's eyes, and after a long time, the man spoke: "It is worthy of being a murderer, and his temperament is really extraordinary, little brother, come with me to have a cup of tea." ”

Feng Yueyi hurriedly said: "I am ordered by my master Wu Sect Master, and I also have the order of his master Fu Sect Master, I want to take him to ......"

"Do you have a part in talking?" The man said fiercely.

Feng Yueyi was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head, it seemed that this man's identity was not ordinary, Sun Zikai said calmly: "My lord, I'm going to see my master, if there is anything mundane, let's talk about it after I visit my master." ”

"It's just seven grades, what's there to worship, follow the unpromising people, and there is no future in your life, I am giving you a chance, and it is also a warning, now, give me the answer immediately."

Feng Yueyi was already dead, who expected Sun Zikai to take her hand and walk over casually, when the staggered time, the man's murderous aura was no longer hidden, Sun Zikai walked out three steps, suddenly stopped, turned sideways, and said indifferently: "Are you trying to kill me?" ”

The man's expression showed a hint of surprise, he stared at the child's eyes, and couldn't see any emotion, but after a while, a wisp of breath poured out of Sun Zikai's body, it was the breath of fear.

The man hadn't felt fear for many years, and those indifferent eyes, like a declaration of death, shocked him into forgetting to breathe, and when he came back to his senses, Sun Zikai and Feng Yueyi had already gone away.

went out hundreds of steps, and after turning the corner, Feng Yueyi's heartbeat slowed down, and she said with a look of admiration: "You almost died, why aren't you afraid, he is bad, my master doesn't dare to mess with him." ”

"Can he go to heaven?"

"Not yet, it's been ten years since the spirit was accumulated, and our master is a disciple of the same generation, originally supported by medicine, so he was barely on an equal footing with our master, and then the masters were forced to finish the pill, he was not in a hurry, slowly accumulating the spirit, and the future may be the third and the gold pill."

"Oh, then he must have done a lot of bad things."

"But it's bad, does your master's master know? It's called Bai Zhu, and when he is old, he was slapped in the face by that guy in public. She lowered her voice again and whispered, "Your master disappeared a year ago, some people say that he was unwilling to accept the Ma family's wooing and was eliminated by the Ma family. ”

After a while, the two came to the depths of the inner door, and turned into the courtyard of Fu Zhe, Fu Zhe and his master acted in the opposite way, his residence was not as big as the elders, extremely simple, can use wood and never use jade, in addition to the necessary furniture, the most can be put on the table, is the gold pen plaque hanging on the door.

Don't look at the small place in the courtyard, but there is a pond and a pavilion, and Fuzhe waits in the pavilion for a long time.

Sun Zikai stepped forward and called out to Master, and Fu Zhe asked, "Have you met the Ma family?" ”

Feng Yueyi rushed to speak: "I met it, it's the evil tiger." But Brother Kai was not afraid, we just ignored him. ”

Fu Zhe sighed and said, "You won't have to be idle in the future." ”

"How many people are there in the Ma family, Master?"

This question made Fu Zhe pause for a moment, he thought for a while, and said, "The sect alone accounts for a quarter. ”

"So much?" Sun Zikai nodded.

Fu Zhe asked, "Do you have a grudge against the Ma family?" ”

"There's a grudge." Since Wu Lanmu has seen himself through, Sun Zikai doesn't want to hide his purpose.

"What's the grudge?"

"Small hatred and small hatred are not enough to worry about." Sun Zikai said, "You haven't said those three conditions yet. ”

"You answer me a question first." Fu Zhe asked: "A year ago, my master Bai Zhu flew out of the sect, I judged that he went to Linghou Guanwai, since you have been active outside the Guanguan at that time, have you ever seen him?" ”

At this time, Sun Zikai naturally knew who that person was, he pretended to think, and replied after a few breaths: "I haven't seen it." ”

"Didn't he go outside the gates?"

"It's impossible to lose a character like your master."

"He is Jin Dan, Liupin, it is not easy to kill him." Fu Zhe sighed, although his master was full of evil, he was still good to him.

After a while, Fu Zhe began to state his conditions, he took out a knife, placed it on the table, and spread a silk cloth on the table, and said, "You are too angry to practice, and with this knife, you can cut off one of your arms." ”

Sun Zikai picked up the knife, the blade was very sharp, and he asked, "If I don't cut it, I won't be able to practice?" ”

"It's just my condition, of course you can go back, after you go back, the Ma family will find you again, you can choose to worship the Ma family, that is also a shortcut to practice."

"Is this a condition? Or is it a warning? ”

"Condition."

"I think it's a choice." Sun Zikai threw the knife on the table and said, "Give up, you will kill me and cut off your arm... A person who doesn't even care about his own body, how can he care about the lives of others, to put it bluntly, you just want to abolish me, I understand your disgust and fear of my bloody hands, but as I have stated to you, everything is the best choice of last resort, I don't choose anything, do you think I meet your conditions? ”

Fu Zhe was silent for a while, and then replied, "Yes, you are very smart. ”

"It's better to be more self-aware, in fact, people like me, you need it, I guess you are helpless against the Ma family, and the further you go, the more powerless you will be, I will be a good weapon, as long as it is operated properly..."

Fu Zhe interrupted him sharply: "If you worship me as a teacher, you will be my great apprentice, not a sharp weapon, nor an abandoned son." ”

"Yes."

Fu Zhe said: "The second condition, I don't care where your heart was in the past, from now on, you must step into the right path, establish your heart for heaven and earth, and establish your life for the people." ”

"Yes."

"The third condition, in the future, no killing."

Sun Zikai was silent, Fu Zhe frowned, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Sun Zikai asked, "You tell me, is revenge justice?" Is killing for revenge evil? ”

Fu Zhe thought about it for a long time, he was only thirty-two years old, and he was only pitted by the Ma family once in his life, of course, it was also the most painful one, he did not have Sun Zikai's experience, and it seemed that he could not answer this question properly, after a long time, he asked: "What hatred?" ”

"The revenge of killing father and mother."

Fu Zhe was stunned, and Sun Zikai's eyes were indifferent, not like he was talking about his own business, Fu Zhe said: "If this is the case, of course, you can kill the enemy, provided that you have this strength." ”

"If you have the strength, you can kill?"

"It's for revenge, that's why..."

"How and how much should I kill for revenge?"

"You can't implicate innocent people, you can only kill the enemy."

"What if many people are involved in the process of committing a wicked sin? Their hands did not hold the last butcher knife, but everyone pushed the person who held the knife, are they guilty? Can it be killed? ”

Fu Zhe couldn't answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "In your opinion, what will you do?" ”

"I'll kill them all."

"No!"

"You mean, they're innocent, and only the last one to drop the butcher's knife deserves to die?"

Fu Zhe replied: "Human nature is good, and the person who holds the knife will eventually be opposed by the butcher's knife, so you might as well throw the knife and give people a chance to atone for their sins and redeem." ”

"Your master killed the people of city after city, in fact, killing him is the best solution, but you didn't do this, is this the righteous redemption that you acquiesce in your heart?"

Fu Zhe was stunned, this was the most difficult question for him to face.

"Eight hundred mud bodhisattvas on the mountain, two hundred years of Chang Ansheng, every time I kill a barbarian, I don't have any hesitation, salvation? I always feel ridiculous, if the knife in my hand hesitates, it is cut on the bones of the ancestors and the backbone of the descendants, the justice of this world varies from person to person, maybe you are right, but my experience and insight do not allow me to reach the point of letting go of grievances, I can't do your third condition, I will still kill, you can't give me the answer whether I should kill or not, and I naturally can't really become your disciple. ”

Sun Zikai stood up and walked out, Fu Zhe stopped him and said, "Can you do the second one?" ”

"Justice?"

"Yes."

Sun Zikai lowered his head and was silent for a long time before replying, "I can." ”

"I will take you as an apprentice."

Sun Zikai knelt down on the spot and said, "Meet Master." ”

Fu Zhe laughed at himself: "I am also a half-person, and I have not realized justice, but you have to promise me that you will not kill people at will, and you can only raise the butcher knife until you have to, and you must tell me." ”

Sun Zikai replied: "It sounds really difficult to do, but the disciple must do it." ”

Fu Zhe nodded, pointed to a room next to him, and said, "You will live here in the future." ”

"Well, Master, the apprentice wants to live in his own courtyard."

Fu Zhe frowned and said, "You think this place is shabby? ”

"No, the disciple spent a hundred taels in that house, a full hundred taels, and the vegetables in the field are almost growing, and the pond is just waiting to put fish fry... So..."

"Oh, then you'd better live there."

"Thank you, Master."

"Kai."

"Master."

Fu Zhe said sharply: "Go with me to practice." ”

"Yes!"

The Ma family came to another palatial courtyard, with dozens of buildings in front and back, as well as three independent medicine houses, and a large number of servants, disciples, and elders coming and going every day.

Ma Dairan was sitting in the house, amusing Ma Kaiyu and Yang Huanman, and when he saw the man coming, he took the two away, still smiling on his face.

The man shook his head, a cold light flashed in Ma Dairan's eyes, and asked, "Who will stop you?" ”

"No one came, I didn't make a move."

"Why?"

"I... I didn't make a move for a while, and it was too late to think about it again. ”

"There's a chance you're too late to make a move?" Ma Dairan's gaze became cold, "That kid is not ordinary." ”

"It's very unusual, he doesn't have a murderous aura on him, but it makes me cold, Anshengguan shouldn't have lied to those miscellaneous pieces, that kid, he has killed more than a thousand."

Ma Dairan sneered: "Let you... It's all chilling. ”

The man immediately knelt down, looked very nervous, and said, "Uncle, it's my fault, what do you want me to do?" ”

"How old are you, you have to let me pee on you?" Under Ma Dairan's smile, a trace of killing intent was revealed.

The man immediately kowtowed, said something clear, and then retreated, after he left, Ma Kaiyu and Yang Huanman walked in, and Ma Dairan chatted with them about the joy of cultivation again.
