A clear whip mark on Ling Zhi's face was still transmitting bursts of pain, he lay among the bushes, looking through the sparse branches, looking at the gorgeous gate of the City Lord's Mansion, all kinds of inferiority, anger, and lamentation that had just risen in his heart gradually turned into calm in Ling Zhi's heart.

The bush where he was located, with his back against a wall, far away from the downtown streets, was not far from the city lord's mansion, but it was not close, but he could hide in it and quietly watch the dignitaries and dignitaries who entered and exited the gate of the mansion, and it was not easy to be discovered.

Normally, he and Lin Hai are hiding inside, but today Lin Hai is not there, he is alone and quietly staying inside, because in it, he feels that he belongs to himself, and he is not himself at other times.

Ling Zhi thought quietly, he was humiliated by Du Ruoran, and he became her target, he had to find a solution, otherwise he would be killed sooner or later judging by the ruthlessness of Du Ruoran's attack today.

Either run or get stronger yourself!

If you run, the Du family in the entire Tongxi City City Lord's Mansion is second to none, and its power spreads throughout the entire city, if he does not appear in Du Ruoran's practice hall tomorrow, Du Ruoran will definitely search for himself, and where can he run to, outside the city, he can at least survive as a short-term worker in the City Lord's Mansion, if he runs outside, how can he survive, since Du Ruoran dares to let him back, he will definitely have the means to deal with himself, and this road will definitely not work.

Then make yourself stronger, yes, make yourself stronger, so that you will not be killed. And this incident must have been done by Pang Fatzi, he deliberately made himself angry with Du Ruoran, but Pang Fatzi is a housekeeper in the back kitchen, and he has connections with other housekeepers in the mansion, and the relationship network is not small in the city lord's mansion, and only when he becomes stronger can he give him a look.

If you become stronger, you can only go to the mysterious old man, yes, only in this way can you have a glimmer of life. After clarifying his thoughts, Ling Zhi's whole mind was extremely clear, and he understood how to go next.

Suddenly, a cat meow was heard.

"Meow Meow"

I saw a few stray cats quickly walking through the bushes to Ling Zhi's side, and the leader of them was a black cat.

"Xiao Hei, you have met so many friends today"

When Ling Zhi saw these stray cats, he was overjoyed, leaned down and hurriedly took out some vegetables and meat that he secretly collected when he was working in the back kitchen today, and he often brought some leftover meat to these stray cats nearby, and now Ling Zhi is also very familiar with them.

"Today your friend is blessed to be able to eat the meal of the lord of the castle."

The black cat raised its head and stared at Ling Zhi with a pair of spiritual eyes. Seeing the big eyes of the black cat's deep spirituality, Ling Zhi suddenly envied these stray cats, although they were stray, they were not oppressed and were free.

"Meow"

He barked softly, then lowered his head and began to nibble on the vegetables brought by Ling Zhi, and several other stray cats also began to eat.

Ling Zhi watched these stray cats scrambling to eat the vegetables and meat he brought, and his heart was also very satisfied, he reached out and gently stroked the smooth and soft back of the little black cat's neck.

"Xiao Hei, do you know, I saw a majestic army today, I am so envious"

"If only I could be a part of that army, do you think I could be one of them?"

Ling Zhi was muttering in a low voice while gently stroking the black cat, and the black cat suddenly raised its head and glanced at him, and its deep eyes seemed to understand Ling Zhi's words.

"Meow"

Then the black cat lowered its head and continued to eat, and Ling Zhi was full of joy when he saw the black cat's action.

"Are you saying I'll be one of them?"

Ling Zhi said happily, and hurriedly hugged the little black cat into the air and looked at its big eyes.

"Do you mean I'm going to be one of them?"

Ling Zhi watched the cats finish eating what he had brought, so he cleaned up the messy open space and dragged his tired body back to the small dilapidated house where he and the mysterious old man lived temporarily.

"Boy, you're back"

An old man with gray temples slowly walked out of the room, with a fine light in his eyes, and an unusually calm momentum exuded from his body, there was no doubt that this was the strange old man. This strange old man helped him once, and then he came to the place where he lived, and his temper was still very big, if Ling Zhi hadn't seen him so old as an old man, he would definitely not care about him.

The northwest border has been violated by the Hu people all the year round, and the people on the border have wandered and lost, and Ling Zhi himself has been a street child since he was a child, mixed in with a group of street children.

Why is Ling Zhi called Ling Zhi, it is because he originally had a long-life lock, which was engraved with the word Ling Zhi, and this is how Ling Zhi's name came from. Ling Zhi has been wandering since he was a child, from this wandering group to another wandering group, and later the longevity lock was taken to a pawnshop by himself, because he was hungry.

A few months ago, Ling Zhi met this old man, and the old man couldn't bear to see Ling Zhi being bullied by the gangsters who accompanied him, so he helped Ling Zhi repel those gangsters. Ling Zhi was very grateful to this old man and respected him very much, so he encountered that the City Lord's Mansion of Tongxi City was recruiting short-term workers, so he went to the City Lord's Mansion as a short-term worker to support this old man.

"You're hurt, and you're hurting internally"

The old man's eyes were sharp, and he asked directly.

"I want to be stronger"

Ling Zhi looked directly at the old man, and his tone seemed to have made a lot of determination. Every boy has a heroic dream, thinking that he can become a big hero who stands up to the sky, but thinking back to the ugly face of the kitchen housekeeper today, Du Ruoran's ruthless heart, and humiliating his humble status as a miscellaneous servant, Ling Zhi was angry in his heart.

"Why, is it because I was beaten today"

The old man asked with a mocking smile on his face, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Are you being bullied again, yes, according to your current skills, it's normal to be beaten"

"You"

Ling Zhigang wanted to refute, but found that he had nothing to refute, what the old man said was not wrong, it was indeed that he was too weak. Ling Zhi clenched his fists, his body trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"I want to be stronger, I hope you can help me"

The old man didn't speak when he heard Ling Zhi's words, his eyes glanced sharply at Ling Zhi, Ling Zhi was swept by this gaze, and he felt as if his whole body had been seen through, and he didn't seem to have the slightest secret in front of this old man.

"Your body was injured by others, the meridians were impacted, the internal strength was not reached, the flow was blocked, there is no big problem now, it will paralyze your whole body after a while, like a waste person, the person who injured you has slender internal strength, sharp but graceful, ruthless but feminine, if the old man didn't guess wrong, it should be a young woman."

The old man's words were sharp, hitting Ling Zhi's heart. Ling Zhi was shocked when he heard this, this is definitely a master, and suddenly his face showed an anxious look, he is still young, although he is at the bottom, but he still does not want to be abolished like this.

"Plop"

Ling Zhi knelt directly in front of the old man, "I hope you can help me" After speaking, he slammed his head three times, how could he manage so much for his own life.

The old man didn't speak, quietly watching Ling Zhi's actions, and suddenly the old man turned around and looked out of the room, looking into the distance. Ling Zhi saw that the old man seemed to be thinking about something, and he also knelt on the ground, but he didn't dare to speak.

Suddenly, there were bursts of autumn rain in the sky, the sky became more and more gloomy, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and it seemed that the rain could not be stopped for the time being.

"What are you getting strong for?"

The old man suddenly asked with Ling Zhi behind his back.

"In order not to be bullied, in order to teach those who bully and humiliate me"

When Ling Zhi heard the old man ask, he raised his head and looked at the old man's back and said.

"Haha, dignified martial arts, how can you say that this yellow-haired boy is a fighting technique"

The old man burst out laughing, and his body leaped suddenly, snatching him like a sharp sword into the heavy rain, and bursts of white mist rose from his body.

"Hiss"

As soon as the soybean-like raindrops approached the old man's clothes, they were steamed away by an invisible momentum, and the rain was still falling, Ling Zhi felt terrifying that the old man's body was not wet, forming an invisible shield around him, and no raindrops could fall on his body.

Ling Zhi was stunned!

"Taoist Zhuang Sheng once said that the sword is divided into three classes, the sword of the people, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the Son of Heaven"

The old man stood in the autumn rain, exhaling white mist from his mouth, and his voice was like a thunderclap that shook Ling Zhi's eardrums.

"Martial arts are also divided into three grades, inferior martial arts, swaggering through the market, blood spattered philistine, fierce fighting, this is the martial arts of martial arts; medium martial arts, vertical and horizontal mountains and seas, clamping the dynasty, unparalleled in the world, this is the martial arts of martial arts; superior martial arts, heaven and earth as the bureau, the system of the five elements, the prime minister yin and yang, reversing the creation, holding the spring and summer, the line of autumn and winter, this is the martial arts of the martial gods"

The old man said sonorously and forcefully, every word was fine, hitting Ling Zhi's heart.

After that, Duan Lao's pair of big hands were like dragons, like lightning, and his hands had a strong irresistible aura, approaching the autumn rain in the sky.

"Sneer"

In the heavy rain of late autumn, the old man turned his palms into fists and shot out one palpitating offensive after another, as if he was about to break through the sky.

Ling Zhi was stunned, this was a world he had never seen before, the old man showed him a whole new world today! A new world of martial arts!

"Boom Boom"

It was as if the old man was left alone between heaven and earth, and everything was eclipsed in front of him. The old man's startled momentum formed an endless river, like the sound of heavenly music soaring straight into the sky, rushing up to the boundless sky, as if the colorful stones that made up the sky were broken, and the autumn rain fell from the sky.

"Nuwa refines the stone to make up for the sky, and the stone breaks the sky and teases the autumn rain"

The old man's gaze suddenly became firm, his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring, his hands were burning like a gale, even if it was raining now, Ling Zhi clearly felt that the temperature around him had risen suddenly, and waves of heat were rolling in. The shot made Ling Zhi's body roll over and over, embarrassed.

"Boy, this is the real martial arts"

The old man shouted.

It was terrifying, Ling Zhi's first reaction in his heart was this thought, and his face turned pale from the shock of momentum. Subsequently, Ling Zhi also strengthened his determination to become stronger, this is the real life, this is the real strong!
