Thirty miles away from Bujian Garden, in a karst cave in the middle of a cliff.

"Boy, what's wrong?" the old man frowned, looked at Zhang Yang and asked.

Zhang Yang reluctantly said: "Thank you seniors, I'm fine!"

"What senior, I'm your master now!" the old man's beard trembled, and his brows turned upside down.

Zhang Yang said blankly: "Master, when did I worship you as a teacher?"

The old man was condescending and said domineeringly: "You broke my chess game, the old man said that he would give you a great creation, rest assured, the old man will never break his promise, and he will definitely accept you as an apprentice!"

"What, this is the so-called great creation?" Zhang Yang was dumbfounded, completely looking deceived.

"Why, do you still feel wronged, if it is someone else, even if he has gold and silver mountains and a golden lotus tongue, the old man will never agree. The old man's face was flushed, and there were really few people in his life who he could look down on. At that time, I don't know how many people at the helm of famous sects, with treasures that were enough to shake anyone, promised countless tempting conditions, the purpose was to let their children and grandchildren worship under his door.

But these were rejected by the old man one by one, first, his eyes were too high, even if he was the top genius in each sect, in his eyes he was just a person with mediocre qualifications.

Second, he himself likes the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and tries his best to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, how can he have time to teach others.

Decades have passed, and his martial arts are difficult to find opponents in the entire martial arts. At this time, he was also old, looking at his peers who debuted with him, with happy families and children and grandchildren around his knees, he suddenly felt a kind of helpless loneliness.

In his life, apart from practicing outstanding martial arts, what else is there?

So, he remembered the woman who admired him and made a vow that he would not marry. He decided to go to the infatuated woman, but when he found her, he found that the old man had died, leaving only a game of chess, in which all her love threads and what she had to say to him were sealed.

In order to unravel the secrets, he became obsessed with chess again, and immersed himself in it for ten years.

Life flies by in a flash, and the old man feels that his days are numbered, and if he does not unlock the secret sealed in the chess game, he will leave a deep regret until he dies.

During this period, he visited all over the world chess masters to unravel the secrets, but in the end they all ended in vain.

But he didn't give up, he thought again, the world is big, but most of the real masters are hidden in the city.

With this idea, he traveled all over the vast land of China, regardless of his identity, and pretended to be crazy, the purpose was to attract the attention of chess masters, and he was provoked to help him with his wish.

At the same time, he also made a great vow that if someone could help him fulfill his wish, he would give him what he had learned in his life as a thank you.

But how many years have passed, and no one has been able to unlock the secret.

And today, he saw that Zhang Yang was going to die in the Bujian Court. Suddenly, he felt compassion and led him to play chess, thinking that if he was lucky enough to break this chess game, then he would save him!

But he didn't expect that his unintentional move was really hit by Zhang Yang and cracked the secret in that chess game.

Therefore, he will come to the rescue and be willing to show off as an apprentice.

But he didn't expect that the guy in front of him seemed to be unwilling.

The creation that others can't ask for, but this kid doesn't appreciate it, it's really unreasonable.

There was almost a flame burning in the old man's eyes, and this kid really didn't know how thick the sky was.

I only heard Zhang Yang say: "The seniors are good, the younger generations have the heart, although the younger generations have low martial arts, they are also quite arrogant." Although the seniors are strong in martial arts, if you want to take advantage of this to be arrogant and look down on the juniors, then no matter how advanced your martial arts are, I will not learn them, let alone worship the teacher! What I want to cultivate is a frank martial arts, not something that others give me or impose on me!"

"Hehe...... the old man's face was gloomy, and he suddenly smiled again, and the smile was very weird.

Suddenly, Zhang Yang's heart was a little hairy, and he always felt that the old man's laughter was chilling and a trace of ill will.

Sure enough, the smile on the old man's face disappeared in an instant, his face became extremely gloomy, and a pair of thin old hands reached out like lightning and pinched Zhang Yang's shoulders.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Yang was shocked, because he felt that a powerful force was swimming in his body, wantonly dissolving his own power!

The old man sneered and said ruthlessly: "From the moment you broke my chess game, your martial arts are already doomed, my way is your way! You have no choice!"

Zhang Yang's forehead was bruised, but he couldn't move for half a minute, he said angrily: "Old guy, don't think that you saved my life, just want me to be at your mercy, you are delusional!"

The old man sneered: "Scold, scold, no matter how you have a thousand grievances, all kinds of helplessness, in this life, don't want to practice other martial arts." ”

After speaking, the old man withdrew his palm and glanced at Zhang Yang coldly.

At this moment, Zhang Yang's only remaining three successes were also dissolved, leaving only an empty dantian. What's even more terrifying is that in his dantian, there is also an extremely strong internal force suppressing, completely sealing his entire dantian!

In Zhang Yang's heart, the anger was monstrous, but his whole body was paralyzed and weak, and he didn't even have the strength to scold.

He could only use his hateful gaze to slash at the old man in front of him with a thousand knives.

But he is not a god after all, his eyes can't kill, seeing the old man's triumphant appearance, after anger, he began to fall into endless despair.

"Martial arts are useless again, hehe, will there be anyone worse than me in this world?" Zhang Yang's body couldn't help but tremble, he laughed wildly, tears flowed from his eyes, and his body leaned weakly against the stone wall.

The old man just sneered, without any sympathy or guilt the whole time.

Unconsciously, Zhang Yang felt very tired and fell asleep groggily.

When he woke up again, he didn't know when.

When he opened his eyes, the figure of the old man was gone, and there was no breath of life in the empty cave.

"Where did the old fellow go, oh yes, he was rejected by me, and he was angry and abolished my martial arts, and then abandoned me here, presumably to let myself destroy myself. When he came in, Zhang Yang vaguely remembered that outside the stone cave, there was a steep cliff.

Zhang Yang sighed melancholy, feeling a little hungry in his stomach, but looking around, there was nothing but the strips hanging from the top of the cave, the large and small cone-shaped stalactites, and the endless stalagmites on the ground, the steep and beautiful peaks.

Suddenly, there was a tick. Zhang Yang felt that there was liquid dripping from the top of his head, and his face was wet.

He couldn't help but touch it with his hand, but it was a smear of crystal water.

At this moment, Zhang Yang was hungry and thirsty, and his fingers unconsciously stuffed into his mouth, but the entrance was sweet.

"Well, it tastes pretty good!" Zhang Yang exclaimed in his heart, opened his mouth, pointed at the stone cone, and rolled the dripping droplets into his throat.

However, the water droplets on the stone cone fell too slowly, and it took only one drop for a long time. Zhang Yang had an idea, and secretly calculated the time interval between the water droplets falling on each stone cone.

In this way, his figure shuttled back and forth under more than a dozen stone cones, and he didn't fall a drop, catching all the water droplets dripping from above.

After going back and forth like this for half an hour, Zhang Yang felt that his stomach was already full of water, and finally stopped.

At this time, he was surprised to find that the original unbearable hunger had disappeared. He was refreshed and refreshed.

Zhang Yang was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: "You old guy, you want me to die, I want to live well!"

There are cliffs outside, and Zhang Yang knows that not to mention his current state, even in his heyday, if he wants to climb up from the cliff outside, it will take a lot of effort.

So, he didn't even think about going out.

Nesting in this lifeless place, any normal person will suffocate to death. Boredom, Zhang Yang couldn't help but wonder about this cave, where does such a big cave lead, and what kind of wonderful scene will there be in it.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yang couldn't help but raise his legs and walked towards the depths of the cave.

"Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk......" At this moment, in the empty cave, two crisp bird calls suddenly sounded.

Zhang Yang's face was happy, and he saw that from under the clothes on his chest, a black strange bird showed its head little by little.

It didn't seem to wake up, squinting its eyes, and its shiny feathers rubbed against Zhang Yang's body, naughty and cute.

"You little lazy man, finally woke up?" Zhang Yang smiled helplessly.

Ever since that day when Tuk Tuk spat out the fragment of the sword blade from his mouth and killed the tall and thin man in the Bu Jian Court, in Zhang Yang's memory, since that day, Tuk Tuk seemed to have become extremely lethargic, and his eyelids never opened.

If he hadn't seen its breathing fluctuate vigorously, Zhang Yang would have wondered if it was sick or dead. After all, it had swallowed almost an entire piece of iron from a sword.

Now seeing that he is safe and sound, and in such a lonely and helpless time, he can have it by his side, Zhang Yang suddenly feels a lot better.

"Tuk Tuk, get up!" Zhang Yang stretched out his fingers, flicking its feathers.

Tuk Tuk seemed to be very dissatisfied, shook his head, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Huh, still sleeping?" Zhang Yang suddenly stretched out his hand, caught a drop of water from the stone cone next to him, and then flicked towards the tuk tuk.

Whoosh, before the water droplets fell on Tuk Tuk, Tuk Tuk had already flapped his wings and flew out at once, fanning his wings in place, suspended in mid-air.

This time, it was completely sleepy, and its eyes were shining brightly.

And Zhang Yang has already made great strides forward.

As he walked, he said, "Tuk Tuk, keep up!"

Before the words fell, Tutu's figure turned into a bolt of lightning and landed steadily on Zhang Yang's shoulder, with a pair of black eyes, looking around curiously.

Occasionally, the heart is playful, and the sharp beak of the bird gently pecks at the upside-down stalactite, causing a large area to collapse, and it is so frightened that Zhang Yang is not embarrassed.

His eyes were on fire, but he was helpless, he knew that this must be this little guy, taking revenge on himself for disturbing his sweet dreams.

After a while, perhaps feeling that the revenge was almost over, Tuk Tuk finally stopped, no longer teasing Zhang Yang, and lay quietly on Zhang Yang's shoulder.

Let's say that Zhang Yang went all the way inside, the road was winding, and he didn't know how far he went.

Suddenly, Zhang Yang looked forward, and the scene in front of him stunned him.
