In the evening, Tao Wenbao returned. The kitchen maid Chen Sangu renovated a table of banquets in the hall, and Li Bochen and Tao Wenbao drank a few glasses. Getting along with this pig director is like a spring breeze, and he is not restrained at all. He persuaded him to drink again and again, and Li Bochen drank more, and unconsciously got drunk and talked more.

Tao Wenbao asked him if he had ever practiced, and Li Bochen thought that this kind of thing could not be hidden, so he said it directly.

Tao Wenbao sighed: "Chen'er is also clamoring to practice, but I haven't come up with a charter." Since Mr. Li is a cultivator, what do you think?"

Li Bochen thought to himself that I was a half-ass, how could I have any lofty opinions. But since the owner asked, he had to think about it and said: "Tao Gong's family is rich and noble, and if he wants to call Dingchen to practice swords, it should be for martial arts and to strengthen his body." But when it comes to physical fitness, cultivation is more effective than martial arts. Tao Gong invited someone to see Dingchen's qualifications on the way to cultivation?"

Tao Wenbao said: "When he was five years old, I asked someone to see it. Said that the qualifications are acceptable and can get started. But to what extent it has been achieved in the future depends on the support of the family. ”

Li Bochen understood that this should mean that Tao Dingchen's qualifications were actually not very good. Practicing this kind of thing depends not only on talent, but also on wealth. Except for a very small number of talented people, most of the rest have to rely on various genius treasures to support them. Not to mention anything else, just say that the vitality in the cultivator's body is circulating, the vitality is vigorous, and the amount of food is larger than that of ordinary people. If even eating at home is a problem, it would be a fool's dream to practice.

There is also this reason for the slow entry of myself. Although they can eat enough in the army, there is still a huge gap between them and the kind of "eating well" of cultivators.

Li Bochen thought for a while: "Tao Gong's family situation is naturally not a problem, but there is another point. As soon as a person cultivates, there is spiritual power in his body. Some evil spirits and ghosts like to be close to people with strong spiritual power. To put it more seriously, it may also provoke some dangerous secret spirits, which is also a disadvantage of cultivation. ”

Tao Wenbao nodded again and again, added wine to the two of them, and drank a glass for himself first: "Exactly." That's what I think about – the higher the cultivation realm, the greater the risk. I've heard that there are some masters who have provoked the Demon King while they were cultivating, and as a result, they went mad and lost their lives. ”

"Alas...... That's why I couldn't make up my mind. I want to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, safe and stable, but I am afraid that if this situation is today, I am afraid that the prosperous days of Chengping will not last long. Does Mr. Li know, it is said that a few days ago, Wanyou City was attacked by the Demon Kingdom. ”

Li Bochen was startled, and felt that most of the wine was awake: "What!?"

He immediately realized his gaffe, but fortunately, Tao Wenbao was also drunk and didn't notice him. He breathed a sigh of relief and dried the wine in front of him, but his heart was still not calm.

Wanyou City is the same as Wuliang City, it is also a military fort, both cities are in the snow field Dangtu Mountain, Wanyou City is about 300 miles away from Wuliang City, and it is the pass between the old land of Sui State and Li State. He remembered that when Sui Buxiu went to Wuliang City to preside over the construction of the Zhongzhou enchantment, he said that the enchantment around Wanyou City had been completed, and from then on he could turn defense into attack.

But it hasn't been even a month since then, and Wanyou City has been breached!?

Li Bochen couldn't help but pour wine for the two of them again, and drank three glasses in a row. Although Tao Wenbao was a shrewd businessman, he probably didn't know much about military affairs—he only sighed at the moment, because he didn't know what it meant to have a ruined city.

Wanyou City is occupied by the Demon Kingdom, which not only means that the Zhongzhou Enchantment, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, is not used, but also means that the Demon Kingdom has finally gained a stronghold in the defense line of Dangtu Mountain. If you can stand up, you can attack from east to west in the future, and even cross Dangtu Mountain to take the mainland of the Six Kingdoms.

Can they stand still? Li Bochen thought about it carefully, and felt even more frightened. It is the middle of winter, and it is inconvenient to increase troops. What's more, the Wuliang City, which is closest to Wanyou City, has already lost its troops and has barely defended itself, let alone reinforcements.

If there is no earth-shattering reversal, I am afraid that Infinite City will be taken again, and it is only a matter of time.

Tao Wenbao saw a look of surprise on his face, so he sighed: "Yes, I am also as surprised as Mr. Li." The war on the front line is unfavorable, and I am afraid that in the next few decades, the country will have to make a big conquest. At that point...... Who can guarantee that my house will not be broken? At that time, if Chen'er was a cultivator, he might still be able to make a living and protect himself by his own skills, just like Mr. Li. ”

Li Bochen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Tao Wenbao was too optimistic. In a few decades, I am afraid that the worst outcome will be that in two or three years, the northernmost Sui and Li kingdoms will become battlefields full of corpses!

Speaking of which, both of them were a little excited. Then he drank a few more glasses of wine, ate some snacks, and dispersed.

Li Bochen washed his face with some cold water in the water room in the front yard, feeling a little sober. He went back to his room and took the half-dime of wine, and stood in front of the door and drank it slowly.

It's freezing, but the night sky is clearer because of it. The brilliant stars crossed the sky, and the sun shone brightly. He let out a white breath and couldn't help but sigh again. A few days ago, he wanted to settle the matter and live a stable life, but tonight when he heard that Wanyou City was breached, his heart was turbulent again.

If the Demon Kingdom really attacked Sui and Li, how could there be any safe haven in this world? I am afraid that I would have to cross the ocean to those legendary ancient lands.

If you want to survive in such troubled times, you can only make yourself stronger. This is a cannibalistic world, and if you don't become strong, you will only become more and more difficult, and even die. He didn't like this kind of world, but he knew that he couldn't change it, so he had to adapt.

Spirit Lord...... Spirit Lord...... He thought it to himself several times. His qualifications in the cultivation path are mediocre, and the only way to become stronger is probably the "Spirit Master" - if it is true.

He couldn't help but say in his heart, "If there really is a secret spirit attached to me, please give me some clear instructions." If you can tell me to live well in this troubled world, I don't mind offering something. ”

He said this three times, and then listened. But the night was lonely, only one or two barks were faintly heard from a distance, and all I heard was my own voice.

Looking at the front of me again, there are only one or two wax plum petals, and there is not even a trace of wind.

He smiled and drank the rest of the wine. Probably everyone in this world will feel like themselves, and feel that they are a different person. But maybe the end result is that they are all ordinary people after all. There will be extraordinary people in the world, but it won't be yourself.

This battle makes the power of the Yin Spirit ...... Maybe it's just some unknown ability related to his origins. Feathers, Jiao, Rakshasas, and Sumeru, aren't they all innate abilities?

Many people don't fully understand this until they are standing or not confused, but they understand it before they do.

Li Bochen pinched the wine jug and walked back to the house.

But as soon as he took a step, he was suddenly stunned.

He felt as if he knew what the "secret spirit" attached to him was.
