There is a hot spring peak 100 miles away from Kyoto, famous for its 'Shio-yu', which was the private residence of the shogun.

And when the Warring States period began, the general was weak, and it became a scenic spot in the Kyoto area, where the big men enjoyed the flowers and the moon, and the best 'salt soup' in the middle of the mountain was covered by a mysterious big man all the year round, and this big man was Zhu Baozai.

Kou Li lay in the hot spring pool with his eyes closed, feeling the moisture brought by the groundwater to his body, every piece of skin, without a trace of pores, was swallowing and breathing.

Two coolly dressed Japanese slave girls nearby, one watered the soup, and the other gently wiped the beads of sweat on Kou Li's shoulders.

As soon as his eyes were closed, his body and spirit seemed to fall into the void.

If sincerity into the spirit is a manifestation of the concentration of the body and spirit to the limit, then sincerity into the void is the integration of man and heaven and earth, a certain level.

The surrounding heaven and earth seem to be himself, every move, all of which are in line with the heavens, the falling leaves, the blooming of flowers, the vigorous growth of trees, vitality and death, spring flowers and autumn moons, all the same.

This is also the level that Lin Xianshi once had, boxing practice to close to smashing the vacuum, qi and force, bone marrow hematopoiesis, you can sense the world around the body, a radius of twenty miles, silver needles on the ground, flying flowers and picking leaves, delicate into the ear.

He didn't know what the martial arts spirit of Lin Xianshi was to smash the void, but he knew that he knew that one person shook a country and shook the heavens and the earth.

And after punching into the void, Kou Li finally truly understood the essence of smashing the void, nothing else, it was the seven hundred and twenty acupoints of the body, just like the stars in the sky.

Smash the stars and see yourself.

After the spirit of boxing has reached this level, the next step is the improvement of the physical level.

When the boxing technique enters the void, the body must also enter the limit of the Dan Dao, and the two are combined, so that there is a slight opportunity.

The wooden door was slowly opened, and the old monk of the Central Plains slowly walked into the pool, full of emotion, and said: "You really did it, what the Pirate King didn't do back then, you did it." ”

Kou Li shook his head: "To be exact, I only walked half a step, and there is still half a step, and I didn't collapse." ”

"What do you mean?" the old monk was startled at first, as a boxer, how could anyone stop in front of the greatest temptation, he could obviously do it.

"Boxing into the void, it means that you finally have the qualifications to knock on the Immortal Gate, it doesn't mean that you will definitely succeed, you have been in the country of Japanese slaves for thirty years, you should find that this place is different from the Central Plains," Kou Li not only did not have the joy after success, his eyes were calm.

"Maybe in the eyes of mortals, there are only big countries and small countries, but you and I both know that there are too many things missing here, ghosts, gods and monsters are obviously weaker than the demons and monsters of the Central Plains, and the gods and gods of heaven are just a land god that has not yet been formed, and it is not as good as the mountain gods of the famous mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, so it is better to kill the gods or smash the martial arts, so it can only be said in this small country, and there are still some things missing. ”

"Meng Tianban didn't choose this path back then, I'm afraid it was also for the last step, so my sincerity into the void has to wait for an opportunity," Kou Li lowered his eyes, "I don't want to be the most hopeless one in the level of sincerity into the void." ”

"What Meng Tianban wants to do in one step, I have to take two steps. ”

The old monk didn't speak, and his mind began to recall the memory of that year, that ambitious man, the one in front of him, had ambitions that were not inferior to him at all.

But he was more sober, or rather, more practical, the demon dragon whale swallowed the Central Plains and died, and the Central Plains Demon King in front of him was already one position ahead.

"It's been a few days since I've been here, and it's time to meet the owner of this place," Kou stood up, and the two maidens wiped their bodies diligently, and then put on a cool silk garment.

"When I'm done with my business, I'll help you solve your demons," Kou Li said without replying.

The old monk smiled bitterly, he was still discovered by the other party, after he was completely defeated by Meng Tianban, he was harassed by the other party's demon shadow day and night, and he still can't forget that person.

According to Buddhism, this is called the devil of thought.

............

After Kou Li came out of the hot spring pool, naturally there were servants to lead the way, only to see the prosperous scenery all around, the small bridge flowing water, the clouds and mist, not only the characteristics of the Japanese slave country are exquisite, but also a large number of famous flowers and grass of the Central Plains, looking down from the mountain, the scenery is more charming, no wonder Zhu Baozai will cultivate here all the year round.

This is indeed a good place to cultivate one's life—if it weren't for the exotic beauties from various foreign states along the way, Kou Li would have thought that this old pirate would have been good.

Bypassing the mountains and rivers, the guards came to a small tea-drinking building, there was a faint laughter of men and women, the guards pushed open the wooden door of the cherry shrimp, and heard a voice full of vitality shouted, "There are friends from the Central Plains, and I am happy." ”

Although Kou Li has been here for a few days, it is really the first time he has seen the real Zhu Baozai himself, the second great pirate to rise after the Pirate King.

The Baolong prince in front of him has no appearance that matches his status at all, his face is ordinary, and even a little ugly, with a slight hunchback, short hands and short feet, all of which are ugly scars.

It's the **** in his arms, with a charming and moving face, apricot face and peach cheeks, eyes like autumn water cherry blossoms, two water eyebrows depicted long and demonic, convex in front and concave in the back, the years don't seem to have left much traces on her;

Seeing Kou Li, the beautiful woman blushed and broke free from the arms of the prince of Baolong, knelt down and saluted gently, and then retreated in small steps.

"So many years have passed, the old man doesn't know how many women he has slept, in the end it is still the most desirable, except for her, the others are welcome, the old man has always been a generous person, by the way, I have an old brother, specially snatched a pair of sisters from Siam, how about one of our grandfathers?"

Kou Li twitched, he also understood where Zhu Ying'er's bad personality had been learned.

Zhu Baozai saw that the other party ignored him, and coughed dryly, "This, the old man is weak and failed to entertain the guests in time, and I ask the guests not to forgive me." ”

"I heard that the prince of Baolong has not recovered from his serious injuries, and the righteous sons are looking for medicine and treatment for your lordship everywhere, but I don't see the severity of your injuries," Kou Li raised his eyebrows and said, this old guy didn't even hide it in front of him, it seems that he is completely sure?

Zhu Baozai sighed, "I'm sick and seriously ill, my precious sons, one by one, I feel that my wings are stiff, fanning the flames everywhere, my heart hurts!"

Kou Li can also see that this guy is an old rascal, and his ability to pretend to be crazy and stupid is the pinnacle, so he simply went straight to the point and said, "I asked Zhu Ying'er to bring the letter, Your Excellency should have received it." ”

"Hey, the old man went to sea at the age of four, killed people at the age of five, and has been a pirate for more than 50 years, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil, thinking that it's time to hang a gold belt, but when you are an official, he is afraid when you are ruthless, and when you want to obey the rules, he takes Qiao up, hey, the gold under the sea produces mountains of gold every day, how many troubles can be solved for the emperor Lao'er, when the emperor is angry, I see who died," Zhu Baozai's eyes flashed with cold light.

"But your kid's idea is a bit interesting, the emperor gives us a guarantee, is responsible for selling the stolen goods, and we give the emperor a cut, this is the way. ”

"What does the prince think?" Kou Li said softly: "Doesn't the prince want to return to his roots, joining the armed merchant company is a good citizen on the sea, and the business of killing heads has become a stable livelihood, and it will be passed on from generation to generation in the future, and it is also a family business." ”

"The pirate's family business," Zhu Baozai smiled self-deprecatingly, "My old and rough father has told me since he was a child, like you, if you can find a big-footed ugly woman in the future, even if you are lucky, the old man is all given by the sea, and he is ready to die here. ”

"I don't dare to believe it in the imperial court, I don't know how many people are counting on my head to be promoted and make a fortune," Zhu Baozai's voice changed, "But there is no reason for the old man not to do the business of making money." ”

After that, he clapped his hands, a secret door was opened, and a person walked out—it was Mo Yi, who had not been seen for many days.
