"Just you?" Guo Xiaodao pursed his lips disdainfully and looked disbelieving: "You are so capable that you can still be chased all over the ground by those Jianghu guests?"

Why are you being chased all over the ground by those second-rate and third-rate guys in the rivers and lakes, you don't have a point in your heart? Bai Xiaosheng was about to have a seizure.

This way shopkeeper with Guo Xiaodao everyone trekking through mountains and rivers, today drilling ravines and climbing dirt roads tomorrow, is to avoid contact with the rivers and lakes, so as not to have extraneous branches, although the shopkeeper is very unhappy about this, thinking that this is a good time to start their own "I have no worries" signboard, but in order to take care of the weak Guo Xiaodao has to do this.

The shopkeeper's eyebrows raised: "What, don't believe it?" The shopkeeper threw a boxy contract into Guo Xiaodao's arms: "This is a contract, you can see it yourself." ”

Seeing that the contract fell into his arms, Guo Xiaodao got up in fright, he still remembered that he was covered in water! But when Guo Xiaodao stood up, he found that the water on his body had dried up at some point, not only that, but even the remaining water in the bucket had dried up, leaving only a faint layer of gray powder.

The shopkeeper also noticed this situation and chuckled: "It seems that the situation is worse than I thought." ”

Guo Xiaodao rolled his eyes and muttered, "So it's mysterious." Saying that, opening the contract, Lao Guo's name was signed under the contract, because Lao Guo would always habitually bring a flying white every time he finished writing, so Guo Xiaodao, who was taught by Lao Guo since he was a child, could recognize at a glance that the name was indeed written by Lao Guo himself, and the contract did write what the shopkeeper had said before, but there was a clause below, that is, "The condition can only take effect if Guo Xiaodao meets the conditions." ”

"What does this mean?" Guo Xiaodao couldn't understand when he saw this, and frowned.

Seeing Guo Xiaodao's appearance, Bai Xiaosheng very consciously explained for his shopkeeper: "It's actually very simple, you were too weak before, and it would be too wasteful if this condition was realized in that period, so a boundary was set, and this limit is the period when the condition takes effect." ”

The shopkeeper's words may be doubted by Guo Xiaodao, but what Bai Xiaosheng, as the "good man and big brother Bai" in Guo Xiaodao's heart, said Guo Xiaodao really did not doubt it: "If this is really the case, no wonder you didn't come to save me when I was besieged by wild thieves before, then what do you mean by telling me now? What does this boundary mean?"

The shopkeeper's opening: "The boundary is very simple, that is, you can reach a certain level, and that level is enough for you to be able to mix independently on the rivers and lakes, after all, you were too weak before, and of course you can't be strong now." ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Guo Xiaodao felt that he was despised, and immediately became unhappy: "If you have the ability, you are now comparing with me?" Although it was not appropriate, the fact that he easily pinched Ning Shisan's arm bones with his bare hands really made Guo Xiaodao's confidence skyrocket.

"Do you think you're strong now?" the shopkeeper smiled strangely, "If I tell you that this state continues like this, you will die of exhaustion in less than two hours, what will you do?"

Hearing that this was a matter of life and death, Guo Xiaodao's face changed: "What did you say?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "Do you know? People at a certain level on the rivers and lakes divide the strength of the rivers and lakes into three stages, the first stage is to condense the power of qi and blood, which is the so-called strengthening of oneself, which is also the exercise you have always wanted to carry out before. ”

Hearing this, Guo Xiaodao snorted coldly: "But you only handed me over and stepped on my fingers." ”

Listening to the shopkeeper's words, everyone couldn't help but come around, Ning Shisan was experienced in injuries, and he tied up the arm that was accidentally pinched by Guo Xiaodao by himself, and judged that it would take about 100 days to recover with years of injury experience, and he heard that the shopkeeper was talking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes again. And the knife is also a wild thief in the wilderness, and he has never heard of the practice of martial arts in stages, and Mo Xiaoxiao has never heard of this statement, so he is naturally curious.

In the face of Guo Xiaodao's condemnation, the shopkeeper was unimpressed, and then raised a second finger: "The second stage is to learn to use the power of qi and blood, and only those who step into this stage can be called entering the house and becoming the so-called first-class master." And the third stage is to form your own unique martial arts style according to your own expertise, I can't tell you what it is, this is the third stage that everyone has to go through, and it can only be understood but not spoken. ”

Hearing this, Guo Xiaodao squeezed his fist thoughtfully: "Then I'm in the first stage now?"

"Nope. However, the shopkeeper shook his head and smiled and drew a V, indicating that "you are now at the threshold of the second stage." ”

Guo Xiaodao looked confused, and the shopkeeper smiled: "Because your progress is too slow, it will prolong the time I spend on this contract, so I used drugs and strange things to push you to the threshold of the second stage." ”

Guo Xiaodao looked incredulous: "Then according to what you say, I am now a quasi-first-class master?" Saying that, Guo Xiaodao tried to punch the air twice, and the sound brought by the fist wind was obviously a lot heavier.

"You're thinking beautifully. The shopkeeper shook his head: "Do you know what you have been emanating from you?"

Guo Xiaodao shook his head.

The shopkeeper said: "This is what people in the second stage need to learn - control the power of qi and blood, the power of qi and blood is in other words the power of life, and the living things will definitely release some weak life force, if these life forces cannot be controlled, they will be slowly drained like this, just like your current situation." ”

Guo Xiaodao faintly guessed something in his heart, and asked uneasily: "What will happen if it keeps being like this?"

The shopkeeper shrugged: "Probably just prostration, death, right?"

That is, to die of prostration? To die of prostration is also death! Don't say it so lightly!

Guo Xiaodao immediately became anxious: "How could it be!"

"How could it not?" the shopkeeper chuckled, "With your current virtue, I estimate that you will collapse and die in a few hours." ”

In fact, Guo Xiaodao faintly felt the changes in his body, the majestic power covered his body and the strength in his body was also consumed little by little, and if it continued like this, it would be the end of what the shopkeeper said, Guo Xiaodao suddenly understood what the shopkeeper meant by teaching himself to save his life, and looked up at the shopkeeper suddenly: "Aren't you going to teach me to save my life?"

The shopkeeper unhurriedly found a clean place to lie down on his side, took out a wild fruit and took a bite of it, chewed it unhurriedly, and asked inarticulate playfully while chewing: "Don't worry, I will teach you, but ...... Is this your begging attitude?"

Everyone: "......"

It seems that he was underestimated before, and the shopkeeper is still very unhappy.

Everyone had expressions that I knew, and only Bai Xiaosheng showed a thoughtful look, as if he had thought of something.
