Chapter 50 Observing Others and Observing Ourselves

After Zhang Yuze's horse left the station, he soon felt that someone was chasing after him, although the person who came was only on foot, but under the gallop, it was not inferior to his horse under his seat, and even approached him a little bit.

He roughly estimated that if the situation continued like this, and the situation did not change much, then he would be overtaken by his men after almost a summer time.

At that time, the conflict between the two sides will be unavoidable, so if he wants to retreat peacefully, he must find a way to solve this person.

It's just that before that, you should try to stay away from Jihe first, so as not to have helpers.

When Fang Cai was running separately, he consciously chose to go east, which was not the way back to Ruiguang, but the direction of the Ansan Mountains.

When he began to retreat, when he saw the other party's calm appearance, he guessed that there were probably still people in ambush on the way back to the north, and he walked here, because there was a wilderness ahead, so he could naturally avoid interception.

He adjusted his breathing and began to slowly adjust himself, this battle must be fought, he has Xia Jian in his hand, plus a hand of swordsmanship, even if the other party has the support of the heart light, as long as he grasps the opportunity, he can also cut it.

However, this is only his own advantage, before fighting, he not only needs to be a confidant, but also needs to try to know his opponent.

He doesn't know the details of the other party now, and what means he has, so it is necessary to test it.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he brought the horse's back pocket to the front, and took out a crossbow machine, and a bundled leather scabbard, in which were inserted five finely workmanlike, sharp crossbow arrows with a dark glow.

This thing was kept in it by the assistants, and it was standard on every horse, and it was meant to be convenient for them to hunt the beasts that roamed the wasteland, but it was also useful for people, and in some cases even better than firearms.

He looked around, and now he had not yet reached the relatively flat wilderness, and the terrain here was still somewhat undulating, with a little concealment, which was just convenient for his own shots.

So he wound his crossbow and waited for his chance, but just as he had turned a mound and was about to try an arrow the next moment, he suddenly found that the man who was chasing behind had not followed, but had gone in the other direction.

He was a little surprised, but he thought about it, and vaguely guessed what the reason was, so he put the crossbow string back into place, put it back in the bag, and seized the opportunity to ride forward.

After galloping all night until dawn, he stopped by a stream, and then took out a handful of secret beans from the horse feed bag and fed it to the horse, which could make the horse recover his energy as soon as possible and replenish his consumption.

After feeding, he let the horse drink, and he went to a clearing, took out the bone whistle that the peach charm had given him, and flicked his fingers into the sky, and the thing immediately let out a sharp screech, and when the thing fell down slowly, he caught it again.

After waiting for a while, there seemed to be a sound of wind drifting behind me.

If he realized something, he turned around and saw that Tao Dingfu was already standing there with a sword, and said, "Senior brother is looking for me, but do you want to ask me to do anything?"

Zhang Yu asked, "Senior Brother Tao is the one who led that person away?"

Tao Dingfu smiled: "It's just some little tricks, you can deceive him for a while, at most, before noon, he will catch up again." ”

Zhang Yu clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Tao Dingfu waved his hand and said, "I still have to rely on you to find a cultivation method, I don't want you to be killed by that person now, but ......" his expression turned solemn, "I will also make such a move, junior brother, you should know, our true cultivation usually avoids mixing with things between Xuan Xiu, and it is already an exception to do so." ”

Zhang Yu did have a point in his heart.

When he was practicing under the old cultivator, he had heard a fellow disciple mention that it seemed that there was an agreement between the true cultivator and the meta cultivator, so the true cultivator would not usually appear in the place where the meta cultivator was, nor would he clash with them without being offended, so even if he asked Tao Dingfu to fulfill his promise to deal with these monks who practiced the Hun Zhang, this one would definitely refuse.

However, there are many ways, and he can't make a direct move, but it doesn't mean that he can't help him in other places, he thought for a while, and said, "Senior Brother may see that the Xuan Xiu who is chasing me has some means?"

Tao Dingfu said in a joking tone: "If the junior brother wants to know, how about this as one thing that the brother promised you?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "If Senior Brother thinks this is more appropriate, then it is okay." ”

"Still don't need to. Tao Dingfu raised his hand holding the sword and waved it, decisively rejecting his suggestion, and said, "I'm just joking, I'll tell my junior brother what I know." ”

Zhang Yu glanced at him, saw that his expression was slightly solemn, and his mind turned, and he also guessed a little bit of his thoughts.

The old cultivation talks about both chance and experience, and the process of finding one's own exercises is actually a tempering of oneself. The heavier the promise and the more price you pay, the more likely you are to find that opportunity.

If the promise made is easily fulfilled, it is not only insincere to one's own heart, but also dishonest to one's spiritual practice.

Of course, this is only the opinion of the old cultivators, and the new Fa cultivators do not have this kind of understanding, and they never believe in it. Even if it is an old practice, it is specific to each person, and the views on different things are completely different, and it cannot be generalized.

However, he knew that because this kind of action not only had the karma and effect that the old cultivation insisted on, but also involved the Dao mind that the teacher repeatedly mentioned, it could be regarded as a process of self-affirmation and self-cultivation, so there was still some truth in some aspects.

Tao Dingfu thought for a moment at this time, and said: "I haven't been in contact with that person, and I don't know much about it, but I can give you a few suggestions for my junior brother, whether it is Xuan Xiu or True Xiu, fighting against opponents, the most important thing is to 'watch people', you must remember this." “

Zhang Yu thoughtfully, "Watching people......"

"'Watching people' is not only used before engaging in battle, but also needs to be used in battle, if you learn to 'watch people' and use it reasonably, then you will be invincible. ”

Tao Dingfu smiled, "There are thousands of people in the world, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, sometimes you don't need to know how strong your opponent is, you just need to know how weak he is." ”

At this point, he stopped his mouth and said no more.

Zhang Yu thought about it for a while, if there was another person here, hearing these remarks, he would probably feel inexplicable, and feel as if he didn't say anything here.

But the old cultivator spoke, just in this style.

He can't explain everything to you, you have to understand everything yourself, and how much you can understand is your own business.

He's used to it. However, in his opinion, these words of Tao Dingfu have actually been expressed clearly enough, and they also hint at some very important information. So he put his hands together and said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

The peach charm waved his hand very casually.

Zhang Yu thought about it again at this time and asked, "Senior brother, do you know what happened to my fellow Xuanfu who escaped?"

Tao Dingfu said: "I don't know about the others, but your Senior Brother Cai, that is, that Cai Hui, is likely to be in the same group as those who are chasing and killing you." ”

Zhang Yui didn't see any surprise on his face, and said in a calm tone: "I guessed, when Senior Brother Cai asked us to leave, and when he stepped forward to block it, although he seemed generous and fierce on the surface, his emotions were very stable, and he did not have the belief of fighting to the death in his heart." ”

Tao Dingfu looked at him and suddenly smiled.

Seeing him laughing, Zhang Yu raised his head and cast an inquiring look.

"Nothing. Tao Dingfu smiled again and said, "Senior brother, you are still so calm and wise, I remember when you first entered the teacher's door, you were only twelve years old at that time, right? ”

Zhang Yu said lightly: "Senior brother, you are wrong, I can't worship under the teacher." The teacher would not admit that I was his disciple, at most I was just a student. ”

Tao Dingfu raised his head, looked at the sky, and sighed: "I'm the same, the teacher hasn't found a real disciple yet, I originally thought it would be you, but I didn't expect you to fail the teacher's test in the end." ”

Zhang Yu walked to the side of the horse at this time, patted it gently, and then turned over and saddled.

Tao Dingfu looked at him and said, "Senior brother, don't you really need help?" Actually, I can use a spell to help you get as far away from here as possible, and when that person catches up, maybe you can run to a safer place." ”

Zhang Yudao: "No need, thank you, senior brother, I will solve this matter myself." He put his hands together on horseback, and then rode his horse east again, and after going out for a while, he glanced sideways, and there was only a wilderness behind him, and the figure of the peach dingfu had disappeared without a trace.
