"If cultivated properly, a martial cultivator can try to control this spiritual power and use spiritual power to stimulate his internal strength. But these are always a bit mysterious, and the cultivation of spiritual power is subtle, and it is not easy to strengthen it specifically. However, the strength of the internal force can be mastered through cultivation, and the method of absorbing qi and practicing qi, and running Zhou Tian can improve the internal force. ”

"So," Huang Dunyi concluded, "You two can't be lazy in the past few months, and in the future, whether there is supervision or not, if you want to become stronger, you must work hard and persist in cultivation." ”

"Well, I see, Mr. Huang. ”

Tomorrow is about to separate, the two and Huang Dunyi talked about a lot of things, and when it was late, everyone finally ate some dry food at will to satisfy their hunger. After returning to the grass house, Ji Longjun's brothers were still tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"No," Ji Longjun asked in a low voice, "You have never left my side for so many years, tomorrow you will go to the Trapped Demon Valley with Mr. Huang, whether the people of the Trapped Demon Valley get along well or not, we don't know if they are used to eating habits, without me and Da Kai to accompany you, are you afraid of my brother?"

Ji didn't smile and whispered, "Don't be afraid." ”

Ji Kai interjected: "If you're afraid, you have to go!" My brother, we've been afraid of too many things over the years, we're afraid of the dark, let's go to the black mine, we're afraid of the cat demon, not only do we have to defeat the cat demon, but we also have jackals, tigers and leopards. In the past, we were afraid of the warriors of Qicheng, but we were hunted down and killed along the way, didn't we also defeat a lot of warriors in Qicheng?"

Ji Longjun nodded and answered, "That's right." It's useless to be afraid, because it's unknown, because you don't have the strength to defeat it. As long as we rise to the challenge, get close to it, understand it, and finally overcome it, there is nothing in this world that can make us afraid anymore!"

Ji didn't speak, but there was a clear hint of confidence in the future in his bright eyes.

Ji Kai looked at Ji Longjun and whispered, "Brother, why did you agree to join the Fengshen Temple so happily that day?"

"Hehe, my brother, what do you say?" Ji Longjun asked rhetorically.

"I don't think it's like your character. Brother, when did you start wanting to protect the world? I, Ji Dakai, have known you for sixteen years, but I have never found out that you have such ambitions!"

"Da Kai, let me ask you," Ji Longjun didn't answer Ji Kai's question, but asked instead: "Do you think that you and you can't go to the Demon Stream Mansion, and you can really integrate into it and treat the Demon Stream Mansion as your own home, or do those people in the Demon Stream Mansion really treat you two as brothers?"

Ji Kai thought about it and shook his head silently.

"Yes, 'those who are not of my race will have different hearts.' This sentence was taught to me by the gentleman of the private school back then, which means that if you are not a brother of a family or clan, your heart and aspirations will definitely not be screwed together in the future, and there will be differences. ”

Ji Longjun said solemnly: "Don't say that we are wild boys from the Wonder Realm and have no background, how big is the gap between us and the children of those families in the Demon Stream Mansion, that is, within our Wonder Realm, the mining city and several nearby cottages are still fighting with each other, and those officials in the Wonder City never treat the people in the outer city as their own." Have you forgotten the way those people looked at people from outside the city?"

“...... Didn't forget. ”

"Therefore, whether it is the Demon Stream Mansion or the White Sun Gate, it is a place where we learn martial arts, and it is difficult to become our 'home' there, and I am afraid it will be difficult to become our 'root' in the future. I'm not saying this to mean that you deliberately want to be alone or anything, I'm just worried that in the future, if you invest too much in a sect and end up not getting a reciprocal response, it will hurt your own feelings. This world is always about strength, if you are weak, no matter how humble you behave, no one will really respect you. ”

"Da Kai, I agreed to join the Fengshen Temple, not for anything for the world, and I don't have that ability. My goal is to have a reliable organization behind me, so that we can have a strong backer. Just like Mr. Huang and Immortal Chang, even if everyone is from different backgrounds and has strong and weak martial arts, as long as they have the same philosophy, they can get along very happily even if they come from hostile forces. ”

"According to what the Immortal Chief said, the Fengshen Temple is an organization formed by people of all colors in the Nine Realms of the world, and according to their personality preferences, the brothers and sisters in the organization can be freely combined, and they can also do what they want in the vast world almost unrestrained under the guise of the supervisor's demonic energy. ”

"This is very important and very suitable for our situation. And after agreeing, Xian Chang and Mr. Huang will really treat us as comrades, rather than the so-called substitute teacher. Xian Chang and Mr. Huang are both good people, and I think it is our luck to be able to become lifelong confidants with them, and it is also a very worthwhile thing to do. ”

Ji Kai nodded silently, admitting that Ji Longjun was right.

Ji Longjun thought for a while, and then said, "Da Kai, have you noticed that when we met those two demons a few days ago, they didn't have anything abnormal except for their special martial arts and tempers that were more irritable than ordinary people?"

"Yes, brother, don't you say that I still want to ask you, Immortal Chang and Mr. Huang keep saying how terrifying and ferocious those demons are, as if they are not normal humans at all. But as far as I can see, those two demons have to go out together, they have to bake the fire when it's cold, they have to bake the cake when they're hungry, and they even curse when they're in a hurry. What's the difference between this and our normal people, is it because of the difference in martial arts......"

Ji Longjun nodded, interrupted Ji Kai's words, and whispered: "My brother, we can just know this kind of thing, don't say it again in the future, especially don't say it in the organization." ”

Ji Longjun said, and looked out the window along the crack in the window.

It's a habit he's been in for two years.

There was a crack in the window, and even the lower edge of the door and the four corners of the thatched hut were deliberately left a small gap under Ji Longjun.

These crevices are extremely difficult to spot from the outside, but from the inside of the house, and at night, there are obvious traces.

Because the moonlight outside shines on the grass hut, there will be a faint moonlight penetrating through the cracks.

And if there are ears outside the wall, even if this person hides silently, the faint moonlight in the corners of the walls and doors and windows will reveal his whereabouts!

It's not that Ji Longjun can't trust anyone, but the Black Forest and the Fengshen Temple have too many secrets, and Huang Dunyi and the vast real people also have too many secrets. Can't just say a word from Ji Wanfeng who met in Pingshui, they just came here completely unguarded and were at the mercy of Huang Dun and one or two?

Although Ji Longjun can be sure that these masters of the rivers and lakes are not bad people and have no ill will towards them, the ups and downs of these years have made Ji Ji Longjun develop a habit, that is:

Leave room for everything, and don't expose the old bottom.

In the past two years, almost every time the Ji Longjun brothers chatted, they had to choose the night when the moon and stars were bright, but whenever it was cloudy and cloudy, the Ji Longjun brothers would honestly meditate and practice qi, and never talk nonsense.

Ji Kai nodded silently, he is not a fool, which words are pleasing and which are annoying, he knows very well in his heart, these are all due to the fate of this creation.

"This world is not peaceful. According to what Mr. Huang and Immortal Chang said in the past two years, the Nine Realms are so big that it is almost difficult to walk down in their lives on two legs. There are too many forces in the world, and there are so many so-called 'cults' and 'demons' in the shadows, who knows what else is beyond the Nine Realms. We are really helpless, the only thing I can rely on is the two of you, and the one you can rely on is me. Remember, no matter where we go in this world, no matter what sect we are in, we can do things that are fun to help others, but we must not do stupid things that sacrifice ourselves to save others or save lives with our lives! Because we can't keep ourselves, what's the use of saving others?"

"Whose life is worth more than whom?"

Ji Kai smirked and said in a low voice: "Brother, I am willing to sacrifice me to save you!"

Ji Ye also smiled: "Me too!"

Ji Longjun snorted and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense! The three of us have long been you who are me, and I am you, what is the difference between who saves whom." Sleep, tomorrow we will be leaving, rest well, don't think too much!"

"Hmm!"

There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.

But this separation is more like a temporary farewell for the sake of reuniting again in the future.

Early the next morning, Ji Longjun and Ji Kai bid farewell to their two predecessors and left the two wooden houses that had accompanied him for two years.

Huang Dunyi also took Ji Bu to leave that day, and traveled westward through the Black Forest and then went north along the western line at the foot of Qishan Mountain, heading towards the Trapped Demon Valley.

Out of the "Black Forest Gate", although Ji Kai had roundworms in his stomach collectively rebelled and snorted non-stop, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, he just urged Ji Longjun to hurry up.

The few dollars left in the hands of the brothers were not enough to buy a horse, so they had to buy a skinny donkey from the old farmer.

Although the donkey is not as fast as the horse, the donkey has excellent foot strength, especially good at walking mountain roads, which is incomparable to the horse.

Moreover, Ji Longjun and the others crossed the northern border and then crossed the Wild Boar Ridge, the road conditions were extremely poor, and if they really rode a horse, they might not be faster than riding a donkey.

A few days later, the two donkeys walked through Huangsha City, the Gobi Desert, and the windbreak, and finally returned to the north gate of Qicheng.

The north city gate is the gate that the Longjun brothers took when they escaped from Qicheng, where there is less flow of people, and the city defense is relatively lax.

"My brother, stop!" Long Jun suddenly frowned and said in a low voice.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Ji Kai grabbed the reins violently, looked at the empty city gate, and then looked at Ji Longjun with a serious expression behind him.

"My brother, look, what is that?"

Long Jun stretched out his hand and pointed, not in the direction of the city gate, but pointed to the stone bricks in front of the road.

There, a cloud of white smoke lay on the central stone path leading to the city gate.
