Winter nights come quickly, and by the time you reach the end of the day, it will be dark.

Xiao Hei had already made dinner, knowing that the old man he admired was sick, Xiao Hei was worried all day, and he would go to see if his old man was in good health after a while.

For breakfast and dinner, the old blind man should not eat oily food, just a little better, Xiao Hei made a duck soup and stewed white eel to make up for his body.

At this time, the old blind man sat at the table in the hall and ate with relish, not yet, Tianxiang was serving on the side, but he could only drink the last altar of wine alone, and Xu Xiao was envious of it.

The old blind man ate and said, "Tianxiang, Xiao Hei, you go to rest first, I have something to discuss with Xu Xiao."

The old blind man has improved a lot, at least the complexion on his face is not bad, and his lips are still a little dry.

The old blind man said: "It really surprises me that you can defeat Di Poyu, his swordsmanship comes from marksmanship, and he is already one of the best players in the rivers and lakes." ”

Xu Xiao sighed and said, "I was also surprised, but I did win." ”

"A teenager can have such a heart and martial arts as you, I am really curious about your background and martial arts. ”

Xu Xiao didn't say anything, and the old blind man continued: "There can only be two reasons for being able to defeat Di Poyu with ordinary stones, one is that your martial arts have reached the ultimate level, and your internal strength may reach a rare point in the world, and the other is that you deliberately conceal your own martial arts, and you may even lose your life and are unwilling to use your martial arts, and win Di Poyu by mistake." Which one are you?"

Xu Xiao still didn't talk.

The old blind man looked at Xu Xiao with his cloudy eyes and said, "I have never seen the legendary Zhen Realm, and I have never heard of anyone who has reached this realm, whether this realm is true or false is debatable, so you are hiding your own martial arts?"

Xu Xiao did not answer the old blind man's question directly, and said: "That kind of realm really exists. ”

Living to the age of an old blind man, what can move him is nothing more than two things, one is to avenge Prince Zhao, and the other is martial arts.

"What kind of realm is that?" the old blind man's voice trembled a little, and there seemed to be longing in his cloudy eyes.

"It is no longer a realm that should exist in the world, and those who have reached this realm use moves that should not exist in the world, which are cold and cruel, as if they were demons from hell, and this demon will not only eat the flesh of his enemies, but may also eat his own flesh. Xu Xiao's expression was very calm when he said this, but there was a kind of loneliness in his voice, he had already seen the old blind man's desire for this realm, so he continued: "I advise you not to try to spy on this realm with martial arts, once you step into this realm, you will become a messenger of the devil, driven by the devil, and finally become a tool for killing." ”

"Why is that?" the old blind man asked, as if unwilling.

"All things in heaven and earth have their way, and the Tao is nature, and nature is the way. Everything in the world exists in the Tao, flowers bloom and fall, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, all follow the guidance of the Tao. The same is true of martial arts, when your martial arts have gone beyond the "Dao", and your people are still in the Dao, you will not be able to control your martial arts, if your martial arts have surpassed the "Dao", your people have also surpassed the "Dao", you can control your martial arts. If you are not matched, you will suffer from it, and if you are not worthy of virtue, there will be disaster, that is. But how can there be a perfect person in the world, from ancient times to the present, only the Dharma Patriarch of Buddhism and the Hui Taoist of Taoism have cultivated martial arts and virtues to the extreme, transcended the constraints of "Tao", feathered up to immortals, and enjoyed the fireworks in the world. Hui Ke Zen Master got the true transmission of the Bodhidharma Patriarch, although the martial arts did not reach the realm, but his virtue has entered the Tao, obtained the body of a half-immortal, and lived for more than a hundred years, and the same is true for Ziyang Zhenren. Although martial arts is not a small road, but virtue is the avenue, only by cultivating virtue first, can we cultivate martial arts. ”

Xu Xiao put down the wine glass, looked at the old blind man, and asked: "Do you have the mind of Patriarch Bodhidharma who "died of poison", and do you have the ambition of returning to the Tao to "purify the world"? ”

"No. ”

"So even if your martial arts transcend the Tao and enter the Zhen Realm, you will only become a devil, and you will not become an immortal, such as Bai Qi, the killing god during the Warring States Period, whose martial arts and military paths have entered the Zhen realm, but his virtue has not entered the Dao, and he will eventually become a devil and kill 400,000 Zhao troops. ”

Xu Xiao's voice was not loud, but it was very firm, the old blind man had already understood Xu Xiao's meaning, he knew that his virtue was not enough, and he had to dispel his desire for the realm, and everyone would be afraid of what he could not grasp, what he held in his hand was his own, and he still knew the truth that the water was overflowing, but the old blind man became more and more curious about Xu Xiao's origin. So he asked: "I don't understand you more and more, what kind of sect are you, obviously a teenager, and sometimes you feel like an eighty-year-old man in the world?"

Xu Xiao changed the heaviness just now, and said with a smile: "Stone Gang, didn't I tell you before." ”

The old blind man also smiled and said, "You kid, you know how to make fun of me." ”

Xu Xiao said: "Where am I making fun of you, I am originally from the Stone Gang, but this Stone Gang was founded by me, and I am the leader of the gang." ”

"Then Gang Master, can the villain join your gang? ”

"Naturally, no. ”

"Why?"

"Our Stone Gang never accepts people who are about to die, it is unknown whether you will die or live tomorrow, and the people who come tomorrow will definitely be difficult to deal with. Xu Xiao said.

The old blind man showed no concern on his face, and said, "I have my own countermeasures. ”

Xu Xiao pursed his lips and said, "If I hadn't defeated Na Di Poyu today, you would have died, what else could you do." ”

The old blind man smiled and did not speak.

Xu Xiao continued: "Old blind man, you tell the truth, why does the bloody clothes house have to kill you, you look for them to seek revenge, they just hide, you are not a good match, why send someone to kill you, isn't this a meat bun beating a dog?"

"Because I have a list in my head. ”

"What list?"

"When Prince Zhao investigated the Bloody Clothes Building, he found some secrets of the Bloody Clothes Building, and one of the most important secrets was the list of the helmsmen of the eight rudders of the Bloody Clothes Building. ”

"Then why don't you just go for revenge, and wait here for them to kill you. Xu Xiao asked.

"The list of these eight helmsmen is only a nickname and a basic characteristic, and the exact ones need to be investigated. ”

"And how are you investigating here?"

The old blind man was full of smugness and said, "I have my own countermeasures. ”

This damn old blind man, Xu said with a smile.
