The matter of apprenticeship is naturally a lie, even if Li Qingchen himself doesn't know anything, but it is impossible for Yuan Lao to let the god who once gifted him a body of martial arts and is also a teacher and friend worship him as a teacher, even if the other party has been reincarnated.

In fact, when Li Qingchen woke up from the arsenal, Yuan Lao was already gone.

He is just a clone deliberately left in the world before the death of the main body, in order to wait for Li Qingchen in this life to cut off the cause and effect between the two sides, and the true immortals of the heavenly realm have also done so.

Everything in the outside world has nothing to do with him, even if he knows a lot of things, but he won't say it, even if he knows what will happen later, he won't stop it, this is the doppelganger of cause and effect, they only come for the purpose set early, and they will never easily cause trouble, because that will only involve more cause and effect.

As Yuan Lao said before, he had already died, one hundred and fifty years ago, his body failed, his body died, and even a wisp of true spirit did not exist in the world, but this did not prevent Li Qingchen from pulling his tiger skin to build momentum for himself.

Lao Wang didn't seem to hear the meaning of Li Qingchen's questioning, he just soaked in the water, and said in a leisurely manner: "Yiyi is not Yang Chen's opponent, but we really need someone who can stop him, so we picked you." ”

Li Qingchen was not moved by it at all, but said bluntly: "No, you are lying, because no matter how strong Lord Wang is, it is impossible to anticipate Yuan Lao's affairs in advance, and if there is no guidance from Yuan Lao, the original Li Qingchen will never be Yang Chen's opponent." ”

There are only three people in the world who really know what kind of transformation he has undergone in these six days, and two of them are already deceased.

Previously in the ring, in order to save Shen Jianxin, he had unexpectedly punched Yang Chen, but even if the latter lost the opportunity, he only took two steps back, and there was no slight injury at all, this kind of strength should not be something that the original Li Qingchen could deal with, and Lao Wang could not have anticipated Yuan Lao's affairs, otherwise he would not have simply gone to the arsenal to get the secret book from the beginning.

Lao Wang turned his head and said faintly: "A dead horse is just a live horse doctor, are you satisfied with this explanation now?"

Li Qingchen stared at Lao Wang's pair of ancient well-free eyes, but the latter was expressionless and seemed unmoved, Li Qingchen took a deep breath, and finally decided to show off directly to the other party.

"No, Lord Wang, in fact, you already know who I really am, because it was you who gave that order to the Wusi of Youzhou Town!"

When Lao Wang heard this, he just kept a calm face and looked at him quietly, but Li Qingchen looked at him without fear, even if he knew that the person in front of him could kill him with just one move, but he was not afraid, because this matter had been held in his heart for too long, and now he finally caught a line, and naturally refused to give up.

After the two sides looked at each other for more than ten breaths, Lao Wang's original solemn expression finally calmed down slowly, Li Qingchen saw this, and took advantage of the situation to continue to ask: "What is Lord Wang asking for? Because of your paperwork, thousands of miles away in the Wusi of Youzhou Town, there are some people who died, and they died innocently, what good is it to you, Lord Wang?"

"That ability to laugh is really not small. ”

After Lao Wang said this, he lowered his head again and was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he finally raised his head and slowly threw out a sentence.

"Lao Xin and I are old acquaintances!"

The pool water heated up rapidly, it was Li Qingchen's uncontrollable true qi leaking, just a few times it burned Lao Ge retracted his feet, he rubbed his calluses all over the place, but now his feet were burned red, while wanting to open his mouth and scold what the bath pool was doing, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't speak in front of him, but just looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.

Li Qingchen's heart was extremely shocked, he never expected that he would hear this answer, you know, Lao Xin Ke has never mentioned it to himself, he actually knows someone who works in the martial arts division of Chang'an Town, and he is also a martial artist with high strength and status.

After hearing Lao Wang sigh, he continued: "He and I are fellow villagers, but unlike me, Lao Xin has limited talent on the way to martial arts, and this is where the gap between me and him in this life lies. ”

Lao Wang said as he spoke, and at the same time his eyes showed a look of remembrance.

"Back then, I lived in the same alley with him, it was a friendship of peeing and mud, but real friends are like this, I hope that the other party is good, but I don't want the other party to live too well, when we came to Chang'an together, I emerged at the martial arts meeting, and was selected by the Chang'an Division, but he was eliminated early, left gloomily, and began to wander the rivers and lakes alone, everyone has their own ambitions, I thought I had a good future, naturally it is impossible to accompany him. ”

"When I saw him again, he was already in Youzhou Town Wusi, a farewell for thirteen years, me and him, have changed too much, he has been so strong in his life, and he doesn't want to be weaker than me, so that time, we just drank separately, that is, at that time, I knew about your existence, in fact, I could see at that time that Lao Xin wanted me to take you back to Chang'an Town Wusi, but he didn't say this sentence in the end. ”

"He didn't want to ask you, and he didn't want to beg me, and I, all the time, waited for him to give in, so I didn't say anything at the time, heh, now it seems, young and vigorous, too ridiculous. ”

Lao Wang shook his head, sighing at what he had done back then.

When you are young, everyone has a good face, and you will always make a lot of mistakes because you are reluctant to save face, and when you look back many years later, you will find that your thoughts and actions back then were too ridiculous, in the final analysis, you are too young.

"In the next thirteen years, I didn't have any contact with him, but occasionally I would get some news about him, after all, Lao Xin was doing well in Youzhou, until half a year ago, when the court and the Turkic tribes had been fighting for a few months, and the war situation had been very anxious, and the people above wanted to make a final decision, so at that time I thought of an idea, as long as Lao Xin and you can make enough contributions, then I have a reason to transfer him to Chang'an, at least, I can also bring you to Chang'an Town Wusi, which can be regarded as a way for me to reconcile with him. ”

"You know, since the beginning, our Zhenwu Division is independent of the existence of the six departments, even the credit, is calculated separately, although it looks free, but in fact, it is extremely difficult to be promoted, just relying on the merit of suppressing the martial arts, it is nothing more than in exchange for some pill blades and peerless learning, etc., but this is not proportional to the risk we take, many times, often beyond the means, of course, for our martial artists, we don't care about these worldly power and money status, everything we want, Zhen Wusi has given enough, especially for those who are warlike, can sharpen their martial arts through non-stop fighting at the same timeAs long as Lao Xin can bring back the heads of some Turkic nobles, after calculating the military merits, I will operate in Chang'an, and there will be enough reasons to transfer him to the Chang'an Division with you. ”

"But I never imagined that it would end up like this. Lao Wang paused, seeming a little sad, and after a long time, he continued," Everything has become too fast, only a few short months have passed, first the first emperor collapsed, and then the main battle faction originally headed by King Yong was slaughtered as today's son, the court wanted to make peace with the Turks, and my calculations were all frustrated, and what I didn't expect was that the court would erase your existence in that way, or perhaps, in the eyes of the court, we are just a group of raised eagle dogs, we have to bite whoever we want, if you don't need it, you can discard it at any time. ”

"At that time, I was in retreat, and when I got out, everything was a foregone conclusion, even if I was sad and angry, there was nothing I could do. ”

Lao Wang looked lonely, half a lifelong friend, died like this, and a large part of it was because of him, but he didn't even know who to go to for an explanation, which made him extremely self-blaming and even depressed for a while.

"When you arrived in Chang'an and participated in the martial arts meeting under your real name, I was thinking, could it be you, but I don't dare to confirm it, because I know that if the imperial court makes up its mind to erase a person, even I can only escape, not to mention that you were only five grades at most at that time, but when I know that you are from Youzhou, and you call yourself Li Qingchen, even the age is right, I already have seven or eight points of certainty, after all, where is there such a coincidence in this world, not to mention, the more innocent the resume found by the Hanging Mirror Division, the more suspicious it is, and when you show those few hands in the ring, I finally confirmed, it is youHeaven forbid, you are still alive!"

"I want to protect you, because I know that to Lao Xin, you are his own son, and since I killed him, then I must pay for this sin. ”

"I know very well that if the imperial court knew that you were still alive, they would never let you go, so I began to plan for you to join the Chang'an Division to get shelter, and at the same time I wanted to do my best to help you improve your strength, indeed, at the beginning, I didn't expect Yuan Lao to really value you, and I didn't expect that you would be able to get to this point, but please believe that everything I said now is true. ”

Li Qingchen's eyes were dull, Lao Wang's words, he couldn't hear too many flaws for a while, and he didn't know that it was Yuan Lao's name that scared him and made him dare not do anything to himself, so he made up a big lie, or was it really as he said, he and Lao Xin were old friends, all of this was true, he could only ask: "Why didn't you say it at the beginning?"

When Lao Wang heard this, he smiled bitterly, his expression was very helpless.

"Say, how do you say it? Even I don't know what happened outside during my retreat, so even if I told you, what's the use? Besides, you can trust me?"

After that, he persuaded bitterly: " These things, you don't care about it for the time being, everything in this world, is respected by strength, I was too angry, I wanted to create my own magic skills, straight to the top of the mountain, but unfortunately now I can't keep the artistic conception of God, if there is no chance, I'm afraid that this life will be like this, Sanpin, heh, indeed, for some people, I am the sky, but only I know that above me, and that day outside the sky, in this world, there are too many things that I touch and die, but you are different, since you are favored by a big man like Yuan Lao, even if there is no me, it is enough to live here for a long time, I will help you do a good job of resume, you just need to stay here to practice, one dayWhen you can look down on the sky from the clouds, what do you want to know but can't know?"

In the steaming room, Li Qingchen casually scooped up a pool of hot water that was burned hot by his own leaked true qi, and poured it back into the pool, looking at his broken face in the constantly rippling water under his feet, Li Qingchen said faintly: "It's better to listen to my story too." ”
