The sunset, the city is towering and mountainous.

Su Mo walked on Taiping Street, still noisy and lively, except for the fence that was originally separated from other streets, which was forcibly demolished by the Commander's Mansion, and there was not much change overall.

Fortunately, after several purges, the security in the north of the city has changed a lot. Along the way, almost every street, there were soldiers wearing black armor patrolling back and forth to deter wrongdoers.

From this point of view, the Shi family's entry into the north of the city is a great good thing, worthy of the gilded plaque that the people raised tens of thousands of spirit stones and sent.

Su Mo didn't go to Xinghai Pavilion first, but took Song Zhao through three remote alleys, came to a delicate and tidy courtyard, opened the secret room, and inserted two pillars of cirrus incense on the divine platform full of spiritual positions.

These are all relatives and friends who died in battle for him, or because of him, or simply because of bad luck, and died of practicing the catastrophe.

No matter how good the strategy is, no matter how deep the thinking is, and no matter how clever the means, someone must implement it. Without a strong background, if you want to gain a foothold in an unfamiliar place, it is difficult to avoid those fights. With strife, death is inevitable.

Those who achieve great things are not informal, but life and death are impermanent, and any relative and friend is a proof of living in this world for him, and he can't bear it and can't afford it. This is also one of the reasons why he has been lurking for so many years after occupying Taiping Street.

Su Mo took two steps back and said with a smile: "Uncle Song, you will be your own person in the future, you can also put on two pillars of incense!"

"Yes, Childe!" Song Zhao looked solemn, took out two Fuyun incense, lit them carefully, inserted them on the altar, knelt on the ground, and whispered something.

The incense was swirling, and Su Mo only felt lazy all over, his head was empty, and he didn't have any sorrow.

All joys and sorrows start here, and all worries and hardships can only be released here.

In today's Beicheng, there is no night ban, but it is a remote place, and pedestrians are still scarce.

Su Mo left the small courtyard, took a slight detour, returned to the Blue Moon Building, and settled Song Zhao here, as for whether he would go to Xinghai Pavilion in the future, whether he was willing to do things under Rou Niang's hands or not was all up to his own will.

However, with Rou Niang's temperament, not to mention that Song Zhao has real skills, even if he doesn't, he will not snub his son-in-law's housekeeper, and he will definitely arrange it properly.

Coming to the dilapidated courtyard, Su Mo straightened his spine slightly, knocked on the door and entered.

Lu lame sat cross-legged, opened his eyes, and looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo sat opposite him, carrying a pot of wine, and handed it over.

The old man took the flask and said with a smile: "How does it feel to go out this time?"

Su Mo said lightly: "Thanks to your old blessing, there are not too many twists and turns, and the overall situation is quite smooth, but when I was in Hunian Mountain, I was a little reckless, and the injury was not light, and I haven't recovered yet!"

The old man sneered, "Do you want to complain about this danger?"

Su Mo said calmly: "If you can live comfortably, why do you want to fight and kill? No matter how small the danger is, after experiencing a lot, there will be times when the boat capsizes." I have a lot of time, plenty of time, and can afford to wait. ”

The old man frowned in displeasure.

Su Mo continued: "On the path of cultivation, of course, we must overcome obstacles and move forward bravely. But if you take risks for the sake of risk, and deliberately put yourself in danger of life and death again and again, I don't think it's good. No matter how high the calculation is, there will be many times, one day you will encounter a hurdle that you can't get over, and when the time comes, you will die. The sages have all said that when cultivating, we must first cultivate our mind, and first achieve a clean state of mind, so that when cultivating our strength, we can be less energetic and think more, otherwise the already difficult path of cultivation will become narrower and narrower, bumpy and difficult, and even become a dead-end road. ”

Lu Cripple frowned even deeper, and said with a sneer: "What's the matter? After going out for a walk and encountering a little thing, I feel that I have seen through the cultivation and is qualified to boast in front of the old man?"

The old man who had been abolished, at this moment, seemed to be like a flood beast, carrying a majestic momentum, pressing towards Su Mo.

Su Mo sat in place, unmoved.

The old man sneered: "Cultivation has not improved much, and the courage is a lot greater!"

Su Mo spread his hands and said helplessly: "Isn't it forced by you?"

The old man said with a smile: "If you are afraid of death, just say it, no one in the world is not afraid of death, and the old man will not laugh at you for this." However, whether it is martial arts or immortal dao, if you want to go far, the wealth and the law and land must always occupy the same, and the resources and fortune of the world will not run into your arms by themselves. With your lazy nature, if the old man doesn't force you to go, when will you be able to become successful and avenge the old man?"

Su Mo wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to refute.

The old man was silent for a moment, and said: "Your martial arts foundation is solid, and the accumulation of immortal dao is also good, so the old man will force you, although you have been a little anxious in the past two years, but the overall is quite flat." This is naturally your strength, which does not hurt the origin of your body, and stabilizes your state of mind. However, you are an overly cautious person, striving for perfection in everything and introspecting. In the two realms of immortal and martial arts, if there is a slight imbalance, there will be gains and losses, and those flaws will be examined over and over again, such as condensing the abyss, and you can't extricate yourself. ”

Su Mo nodded and said, "When I broke through to the Foundation Building Realm, I realized this, lest I lose one or the other and shake the foundation of the martial arts. I forcibly broke through at the Xusheng Inn, and with the help of martial arts cultivation, I barely succeeded, which had a great impact on me......"

Speaking of this, Su Mo's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly: "After leaving the customs, I also reflected, not unaware, and even when I was in Fox Nian Mountain, I had already begun to eliminate this influence, hoping to repair the flaws in my state of mind." ”

The old man laughed and said: "Immortal and martial arts double cultivation, it is a greedy move, not only should you not make a decision when you find a problem, but you are more and more cautious, this kind of indecisive approach, do you think you can separate them?"

Su Mo suddenly realized that this kind of cultivation matter, only by asking people who have come over, can he find a more reliable answer, so he humbly asked: "Then what should I do?"

The old man sneered: "It seems that this breakthrough has made your mentality unbalanced, not to mention, and even your head is rusty." ”

Su Mo just looked at Lu Cripple.

The old man raised his right hand, clenched his fists and said, "Martial arts"

The old man raised his left hand and pinched the trick and said, "Immortal Dao." ”

"How do you divide the priority into the two great avenues that are recognized by heaven and earth? How do you divide the priority into the secondary? How do you take care of the priority when you have the priority? Don't let one of them lag behind? Cultivation is not a rush, you just need to bury your head in the front and go, and you must think clearly at every step. As hesitant as you are, it's a fluke to be able to finish this long trip. Fortunately, you stumbled by mistake and didn't choose the martial arts realm to break through the realm, otherwise from the stable sea viewing realm to the golden body realm with wind leaking on all sides, not only will it hinder the condensation of the golden pill in the future, but most of your martial arts cultivation will also be abolished!"

As he spoke, the old man took out a purple talisman from his bosom and threw it out.

The next moment, the runes shone, the formation isolated the breath inside and outside the small courtyard, a golden armor god would appear, and the qi rushed to his face, Su Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had to use his yuan force to resist.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the Golden Armor God raised his foot and kicked at Su Mo, and with a bang, before Su Mo could defend himself, the whole person slammed into the wall, and the Yuan Force operating in his body also stagnated.

The old man smiled and said, "Boy, you, you just walked too smoothly, how can a cultivator who really ascend to the heights drag the mud and water like you." You must know that cultivating and cultivating is the Great Dao, walking is oneself, and self-improvement, and there are some things that you can't bypass by being smart!"

Su Mo's face was distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Cripple Lu, what you said is good, you are so heavy, are you sure there is no personal grudge in it?"

The old man said happily: "What if there is? The old man is neither your protector nor your master, and he can't reap any benefits for teaching you to practice!"

Without waiting for Su Mo to refute, the Golden Armor God bent down and smashed Su Mo's abdomen with a punch, and the furious fist accurately hit the qi and blood boiling in the chest.

Su Mo sat against the wall, coughing up blood, looking happy.

The old man sneered: "At a young age, my heart is heavy, I really owe it!"

Su Mo smiled bitterly: "I said that I was helping me polish my state of mind, but how could you have such a polishing method, you were beaten from beginning to end, and you couldn't even escape." ”

The old man said angrily: "Boy, what's the point of telling you those great truths? Only by being in it and experiencing the subtleties can you turn it into your own use and use it freely." ”

Su Mo rolled his eyes: "Isn't it because I think my cultivation is too low, and I don't bother to reason with me!"

The old man didn't laugh angrily: "That's true, the mood is in line with the Tao, if I explain it to you in a meticulous way, how much time will the old man waste?"

Su Mo looked at the Golden Armor Divine General, smiled, and said, "This talisman is good!"

Old man: "......"
