Although she was really tired this night, Jiang Lili still got up early.

In addition to being seriously injured and really unable to get out of bed or in critical condition, no matter the wind and rain, Jiang Lili did not forget to get up early to practice knives.

He won't say, "Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat", or "the industry is good at diligence and frolic, and the success is in thinking and ruining", he only knows that there is only one thing in the world that has never been lazy and has been lazy countless times.

In many cases, it is not only in books, everyone has their own reasons for acting, which may not be able to be spoken, but this truth does exist in everyone's heart.

It's still the three knives that are boring to the extreme, Jiang Lili doesn't know how many times he has practiced these three knives, he only knows that as long as he touches the handle of the Tiger Soul Knife, his arm can dance these three knives uncontrollably.

So it became more and more proficient, and it became more and more fluid and natural.

Sweated.

It's been a long time since the sun had been out, but there was still a slight snoring coming from the room.

Jiang Lili took a breath, and when he swung the knife, a long wind blew, and when he swung it out, there were clouds gathering, and the third knife fell, and the surroundings were quiet and silent.

After a long time, Jiang Lili exhaled, and then he withdrew the Tiger Soul Knife from the scabbard, holding the Tiger Soul Knife, he squinted slightly, feeling the vastness between heaven and earth.

There was applause behind him, Jiang Lili turned his head, and what he saw was Zhang Wei's house.

Zhang Wei just got up, and before he washed up, he took the wine gourd and drank heavily, and he was really the kind of person who loved wine to the core. He said: "Sure enough, the momentum of these three swords has reached its peak, and it may be able to reach a higher level, it depends on your own understanding." ”

Jiang Lili didn't say a word, pondering what Zhang Wei said.

"You're at the peak of the fourth mountain now, which is not what I expected. I remember that when you were in Luoyang two years ago, you were the peak of the third mountain, and it has only been two years, and it is beyond my expectation that you can reach this situation. I thought it would be great for you to reach the fourth mountain. ”

Jiang Lili sneered, "You think I'm a bastard like you?"

"Hahaha," Zhang Wei laughed three times, "You are indeed much stronger than me, when I was your age, I was only cultivating on the top of Fuhu Mountain, and I had never come to the door, let alone walked the entire Great Sui over and over like you." ”

Zhang Wei took another sip of wine, he didn't expect that since he went down the mountain for the first time, he had already been exiled to the end of the world, and there was no time to go back.

He actually had a few people he wanted to meet.

"What's the matter? I didn't expect you to be like that pedantic literati. Who do you want to show this look to?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment and still smiled, "I thought you kid had grown up a lot, but I didn't expect you to be the same as two years ago, but it can be regarded as a good thing to another extent." ”

"Don't talk about me. Zhang Wei said again: "Tell me about you, now that you are the peak of the fourth mountain, how can you climb the fifth mountain?"

"Dragon Elephant Realm?" Jiang Lili frowned slightly.

"You know this statement!" Zhang Wei was a little surprised, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in his heart that two years have passed, and this kid is not a sword walker who does not want to listen to people's speeches, and he knows that this statement is not unusual, so he said: "Since you know, it will be easy to do, Dragon Elephant Realm, as the name suggests, monks who climb this heavy realm can have the power of dragon elephants, and their combat power can be much higher." If you had already ascended to this Dragon Elephant Realm, the ghost mother wouldn't have needed me to surrender last night. ”

Jiang Lili only knew this statement of the Dragon Elephant Realm, and was actually ignorant of this heavy realm, and thinking about the monstrous ghost aura of the ghost mother last night, he couldn't help but ask: "Can I win the battle?"

Zhang Wei smiled and nodded, "One heavy mountain and one heavy sky, what we are talking about is the difference in combat power between the warriors of each heavy mountain, and the difference between the fourth mountain and the fifth mountain is even more cloudy. The most obvious reason is why the fifth mountain began to be called the Dragon Elephant Realm, and the fourth mountain has no title? Between this fourth mountain and the Dragon Elephant Realm is a huge watershed, and most of the monks are stuck on this watershed, and they will not be able to enter an inch until they die. ”

At the end, Zhang Wei asked a little solemnly: "You are now a cultivator at the peak of the Fourth Mountain, how can you ascend to this Dragon Elephant Realm?" Do you have any thoughts in your heart?"

Jiang Lili was actually confused about how to advance in cultivation, he didn't have a master to explain to him in detail how this martial artist advanced, he just relied on Zhang Jiuling's three-move sword technique to practice hard to such a realm, or it could be said that the time had come, and it would be a matter of course.

Now after hearing Zhang Wei say this, he had some doubts in his heart, or it could be said that he was in a hurry, so he asked, "How did you advance to the Dragon Elephant Realm?"

Zhang Wei thought for a moment and replied, "How did I get to this Dragon Elephant Realm? If I tell you all about my experience, I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while. In this way, the cultivation of our Taoist priests on Fulong Mountain is roughly similar to that of the Qi Refiners in Yunling Shengzhou, so I will talk about how the Qi Refiners advanced to this Dragon Elephant Realm. ”

After carefully considering his words, after brewing for a long time, Zhang Wei said slowly: "I remember that I told you roughly before, this Dragon Elephant Realm is called the Three Transformations of the Soul Diagram in the cultivation system of Qi Refiners, which is to refine a trace of innate spiritual energy in one's Purple Mansion, and then follow the innate spiritual energy to nourish the soul, pass the spirit, and understand the Dao heart, which is called the three changes. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lili was even more confused, "What is the Purple Mansion?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and explained with a smile: "This purple mansion is the spiritual aperture, which is called the heart platform in the Buddha's temple. ”

"What is the spiritual aperture, and what is the heart platform?"

"It's the Purple Mansion!"

Jiang Lili was annoyed, "You don't give me these things, can you tell me something useful?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said: "The difference in cultivation between this qi refiner and the martial artist is really bigger, not to mention anything else, just say that the qi refiner, after each level, you have to improve your state of mind, so the advancement of the qi refiner is much simpler than that of the martial artist and even Confucianism and Buddhism, which is also the reason why the qi refiner has firmly occupied half of the place for tens of thousands of years." ”

"Speak useful!"

"Okay," Zhang Wei hurriedly said, but he was stunned just as he was about to speak, and he didn't know what to say to Jiang Lili for a while, so he said stupidly: "I can't tell anything if you ask me to talk about it at this moment, I am very familiar with the cultivation path of a qi refiner, and I am also quite familiar with the cultivation path of a martial artist, but I really don't know how you advanced as a martial artist!"

Jiang Lili's face turned blue, "Then aren't you talking nonsense here for half a day?"

Zhang Wei only felt that he was a little embarrassed that he couldn't explain the cultivation problem of a junior as a "senior master", so he tried to save face, "Why don't you wait for me for a few more years, I can't tell when I meet that mountain Xie Xingzhi and ask you a question?"

"Yes

Can you meet Xie Xingzhi in this life?" replied Jiang Lili unceremoniously.

Zhang Wei laughed, "Could it be that you have encountered it? Everything is possible, haven't you heard who said that? Dreams still have to be had, what if they come true?"

"Who said that?" Jiang Lili asked.

Zhang Wei snorted, "I said it." ”

Jiang Lili rolled her eyes widely.

Chengru woke up very late this day, and even after waking up, he was weak, indeed because he didn't sleep well last night.

Last night, I was swept away by those ghost babies in a daze, and I was scared for a long time, and finally followed Jiang Lili and Zhang Wei into the dry well, and finally came back, but I kept having nightmares, and I woke up three times in the middle of the night, and finally fell asleep in a daze when it was dawn.

He yawned and wore a crooked hat, and without asking what he could eat, he hastily brought the censer and the candle from the front hall of the house, and trotted out.

"Hey, where are you going?!" Jiang Lili shouted.

"I'm going to overdo the dead!"

"What do you care about them?"

Cheng Ru didn't reply, and had already run away.

Zhang Wei took the wine gourd and asked with some curiosity: "What? Is he a Taoist priest?

"I've been a Taoist priest for a while, I don't know where I got the three-legged cat kung fu from, in fact, I don't know anything, in fact, if you are a monk, you should be more proficient. Jiang Lili didn't have that kind of kindness to cover up Chengru.

Zhang Wei was stunned, "Monk, he is a monk." ”

"Or what do you think he's wearing that hat for?"

"Monks also eat wine?"

"What do you think?"

Zhang Wei laughed, and after saying something that won my heart, he asked, "By the way, where are you going to go?

Jiang Lili nodded, and suddenly frowned, "What? Don't you want to go to that ghost town too?

Zhang Wei shook his head, "No, I'm not in a hurry for a while, when I came here last night, I seemed to feel a faint ghost aura in the southwest direction, where do I have to go to take a look, maybe someone will suffer from the scourge of ghosts now?"

Jiang Lili pursed his lips, he really couldn't understand Zhang Wei's intention of going to the soup for a person he didn't know, so he stopped talking, and went to the head of the village by the way, first, thinking that he was going to go out of this village anyway, and secondly, he also wanted to see what kind of means Cheng Ru said's excesses were in his mouth.

While walking, Zhang Wei turned his head and asked, "By the way, I have never asked you what you are doing in the ghost town, can you give me a foundation?"

Jiang Lili sneered: "You asked yesterday!"

"Really?" Zhang Wei pretended to be confused, "How did you answer at that time?"

"I said it's your!"

Zhang Wei's tone was stagnant, and he shook his head, "Anyway, this ghost city can be regarded as a netherworld, if the living people go in, it will definitely arouse the hatred of those ghosts, you still have to be careful." ”

"I know, do you need to say more?"

"If only you knew. ”

The two had already walked to the entrance of the village, and saw Cheng Ru lighting two white candles and three long incense sticks above the well, and he was sitting cross-legged behind the incense stove, chanting words in his mouth.

"What are you reading? Read it louder, otherwise how can those white bones be heard?"

Cheng Ru didn't pay attention to Jiang Lili's sarcasm, or said that he had poured all his mind into this transcendence, and was completely unaware of the movements in the outside world.

Cheng Ru ignored him, and Jiang Lili would not be annoyed enough to walk up and give Cheng Ru a kick, telling Cheng Ru to return his words. Then he turned his head to look at Zhang Wei, "When are you leaving?"

"Is it natural that the sooner the better?"

Jiang Lili said again: "How fast does that have to be?"

"Immediately, now! If you can get there one step earlier, you may be able to save the next person's life in time, and you can also let those who are plagued by ghosts escape suffering one step earlier. ”

Jiang Lili just smiled when he looked at Zhang Wei, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Zhang Wei's face changed from solemn to sneering, and finally blushed, and muttered: "It's just that I am shy in my pocket, not for the travel expenses, but I just want to borrow some silver taels from you to buy wine and eat." ”

The corners of Jiang Lili's eyes rose slightly, "I know that there must be something in your heart, you have no money, you borrowed money from me in Luoyang last time, but you didn't pay me back!"

Jiang Lili refused categorically.

Zhang Weiyang begged: "Isn't this also because I went around and called the money in my pocket to run out? What can I do? If I have, I will definitely have to pay you back, do you think I, Zhang Wei, look like the kind of person who borrows money and doesn't pay it back?"

Jiang Lili snorted coldly and turned his face away.

Zhang Wei was furious, "Could it be that I saved your life yesterday with more than these few things outside your body?"

"It is said that martial artists break through the realm in battle, if I had been fighting with that ghost mother last night, I am afraid that it would already be the Dragon Elephant Realm, where would you be told to do more?"

Zhang Wei opened his mouth and didn't speak, mainly because the opportunity for martial artists to break the mirror has always been precious, and the opportunity for bad people is like killing their parents, and for a while, Zhang Wei actually felt that what Jiang Lili said made some sense, and he couldn't find a place to refute it. He said: "Even if it is not for the sake of me saving your life, then it must be for the sake of the many innocent civilians in South Korea." Think about it, I claim to be an immortal after drinking, if I don't have alcohol, how can I beat those ghosts and ghosts who have become spirits?"

Jiang Lili sneered: "When did you see me take the lives of those irrelevant people to heart?"

Zhang Wei was dumbfounded.

"But it's not impossible. Just when Zhang Wei was thinking about where he should make some money to buy wine and food for himself, Jiang Lili suddenly said something again, so he quickly turned around and said with a sneer: "Really?"

"Don't be too happy, do you think I won't have the conditions?" Jiang Lili turned his gaze to the wine gourd on Zhang Wei's waist.

"What conditions?" Zhang Wei covered his wine gourd with some vigilance, "Don't you beat my wine gourd idea, this is my baby." ”

"What do I want you to do with this wine gourd?" Jiang Lili said in a deep voice: "I want that female ghost in your wine gourd!"

Zhang Wei frowned, "What do you want her to do? This ghost mother is not Wu Zhou's house! Wu Zhou's heart is inchred, I dared to hand it over to you at that time! But this ghost mother is extremely ghostly, and you can't suppress her." If there is a day when she is counterattacked, it is not a trivial matter. ”

Jiang Lili was stunned for a long time, and said, "You don't need to make more mentions, I have my own way." ”

"What's the solution?"

Jiang Lili squinted slightly, "Do you have to get to the bottom of it?"

Zhang Wei smacked his lips and took it off

The wine gourd poured a few drops of sake into his mouth, "This is for your sake." ”

"I never wanted others to think about me, I had my own reasons. Jiang Lili replied coldly.

Zhang Wei thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Do you want to use her to break through the realm?"

Jiang Lili didn't say anything more.

"This is too dangerous, you are extremely talented Jiang boy, you don't have to use this method. ”

"I can't wait. ”

Zhang Wei opened his mouth, but did not persuade again.

What he knows is that the cultivation of a martial artist is the original heart, and the cultivation is the persistence of not dying and not looking back after the sword goes sideways!

If you can change your mind because of two or three words of persuasion from others, then this martial artist will not go far after all!

After secretly considering the pros and cons of the period, Zhang Wei sighed, "Take your ghost raising bag." ”

After taking the ghost raising bag in Jiang Lili's hand, Zhang Wei directly released the ghost mother in the scorching sun, and when he saw the ghost mother screaming again and again by the scorching sun, Zhang Wei said coldly: "From today on, your master is the person in front of you, you need to take good care of it, if you dare to do such a rebellious act one day, I will make your soul fly!"

The ghost mother still glanced at Jiang Lili amid the screams, revealing a trace of disdain.

Zhang Wei sneered.

The ghost qi was constantly steaming, and the ghost mother begged for mercy loudly, wailing again and again, claiming that she would never kill the master, but Zhang Wei still watched.

The ghost mother's anger in her heart was finally stimulated, and she rushed towards Zhang Wei with a roar, but Zhang Wei easily slapped her sword away!

The ghost mother attacked again, but under this bright sun, where was Zhang Wei's one-in-one enemy? He was directly trampled under Zhang Wei's feet and submerged in the dirt!

Finally, after the ghost mother was dying, Zhang Wei said to the ghost mother to remember what I said to you, and then put this ghost mother into Jiang Lili's ghost raising bag, and handed it over to Jiang Lili's hands, Zhang Wei said: "I have reduced her ghost qi by seventy-seven eighty-eight, and she will not be able to recover her heyday in half a year, and she will also leave a way out for you." Don't scold me for doing too much, if she uses her backlash as a means to break the realm, her current strength is enough. However, it will take at least a month for her to regain her ability to fight back, which will also give you some time to prepare. ”

Jiang Lili took the ghost raising bag into his arms and said yes.

Zhang Wei stood for a long time, "It's already for you." ”

Jiang Lili snorted again.

"Where's my silver?!" Zhang Wei nodded.

Jiang Lili only felt a little funny, took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Zhang Wei, the denomination was fifty taels, and Zhang Wei smiled.

"Don't be happy too soon, you have to pay it back. Jiang Lili reminded.

"What? Do you want to pay it back?" Zhang Wei took the silver ticket into his arms, and then glared angrily, "You kid can really climb up the pole! Do you know how much such a ghost mother can sell for? Hundreds of thousands of taels are less, you only gave me fifty taels of silver, I didn't ask you for money is already a great righteousness, you even asked me to pay back?"

The more Zhang Wei thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, "Tell me, are there still few brothers in the world who turn their faces and don't recognize people because of a few taels of silver? Lao Tzu has hundreds of thousands of taels here! I gave it to you without blinking an eyebrow, and you still called me back? Do you have a face? Are you embarrassed?"

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and turned away from Zhang Wei, "I'm afraid that one or two of your innocent people who were harmed by ghosts have died now, why don't you go quickly?"

Zhang Wei was stunned, a leap landed on the treetops, and with another leap, only a small shadow remained, "If Lao Tzu returns these fifty taels to you, Lao Tzu will be a dog!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's figure go away, a thin middle-aged man was revealed in the shade of the big tree, it was Wu Zhou.

Wu Zhou said: "I know that you don't want this ghost mother to cultivate, just to see if you can ask for the news of the underworld from her mouth, then you don't need to go to that ghost city again, and you have saved a lot of effort." But why don't you tell Zhang Wei the reason directly? I don't think he will refuse. ”

Jiang Lili said in a deep voice: "I don't want him to know that I am going to the underworld. ”

"Oh?" Wu Zhou asked, "Why?"

Jiang Lili was silent for a long time and then turned his head and sneered: "You like to get to the bottom of it so much? You should have seen the tragic situation of the ghost mother just now, you also want to taste it?"

Wu Zhou was silent.

He hid in this shade for a long time, and with Zhang Wei's ability, it was impossible for Zhang Wei not to discover him. Exposing the female ghost to the scorching sun to evaporate her ghost qi is not only for the reason that Zhang Wei said before, but also for the purpose of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Wu Zhou's figure disappeared and returned to the ghost raising bag.

Jiang Lili held the Tiger Soul Knife and stood under the scorching sun like this, waiting for Cheng Ruyi.

In fact, Zhang Wei's conjecture is not a lie, he does have some thoughts about finding an opportunity to break through the realm in this ghost mother.

It had been a long time since he had felt his sword intent grow, and even if he had never bothered to understand the details of his cultivation, he knew that he had reached a bottleneck, a real bottleneck.

It's just a ghost born in Korea who makes him scramble, so what if he goes to the underworld?

He was a little flustered.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that he would die halfway through.

So what to do?

In his heart, he didn't want Zhang Wei to know the news that he was going to the underworld, if Zhang Wei knew, he would definitely go with him, he was a little resistant to this kind of thing, and he was a little unwilling.

A trip to the underworld is sure to be a life of death, everyone knows.

Is this a small thought in his heart? Wu Zhou looked at Jiang Lili and asked to himself in his heart.

Cheng Ru opened his eyes, he looked left and right, "Hey, why are you standing under the sun, how hot is it?"

"Tell you to care?"

"What about Zhang Wei? I still want to beg for a drink. ”

"Gone. ”

"Where?"

"I don't know. ”

"Oh... By the way, where are we going?"

"Northwest, Tianfu. ”

"It's so far? It's going to take a year. ”

"If you hadn't lost the carriage, would we have been able to go for a year?"

Cheng Ru bowed his head and didn't speak again.

It's so hot!

Just after Cheng Ru got up, the area around the dry well was much cooler. Cheng Ru sat on the mark left under the undried soil at the edge of the dry well, and there was a faint halo shining.

The incense burner was covered with bricks and tiles to keep the incense from being blown out by the wind.

The incense burns slowly, and the green smoke curls.

This is called kindness.
