In a small room in the inn, Yue Fan and Xiao Qin sat opposite each other, and the two children stayed quietly beside them.

"Why do you believe me?"

"I'm not trusting you completely, I'm gambling. I don't know how the rivers and lakes are sinister, but luck is also very important if you want to survive. Looks like I'm in luck. ”

Xiao Qin smiled slightly, although the scar on his face was very hideous, Yue Fan could see that it was a smile from the heart.

After a pause, Xiao Qin continued, "I've noticed you since I stepped here. The moment you looked at me, I sensed that your mental power was very strong, and it was very powerful. ”

"Oh!"

Yue Fan nodded and said, "That's right, I also found you unusual, but I can't figure out what's going on now." ”

Xiao Qin was surprised: "Could it be that you were born with such a strong spiritual power?"

"It's not. Yue Fan shook his head and said: "My spiritual power is a little special, and many variables have happened in it, so it will be like this." ”

Xiao Qin was surprised: "In this way, you still can't control your mental power. ”

Yue Fan smiled bitterly: "I have always explored by myself, and my knowledge is very limited, so I want to confirm this matter from you." ”

“......”

Xiao Qin pondered for a moment and said: "Little brother claims to be not from the rivers and lakes, then I don't want you to get involved in right and wrong." If you are kind to us, I will tell you what I know about the method of controlling mental power, which can be regarded as a reward. ”

Yue Fan was very excited in his heart, and his doubts for many years were about to be solved, how could ordinary people understand such a mood. He struggled to control his emotions and nodded his head in thanks.

......

"Spiritual power, in a vain word, is actually the power of the soul, it is very ethereal, and it is also very real. Those who understand understand, and those who don't understand will not understand......"

"Spiritual power is divided into innate and acquired, people with strong innate spiritual power can control their spiritual power very easily, just like a part of themselves, while the spiritual power cultivated after tomorrow is very difficult to control, and it requires some special circumstances...... The method of controlling the spirit is difficult to say, and it is simple to say that it is simple, and the main thing is to comprehend the two words. You can think of mental power as a kind of energy in yourself, and you must first feel its existence before you can communicate with it. ”

After a pause, Xiao Qin looked at Yue Fan and said, "This step is very difficult, because this kind of energy seems ethereal, and there is nothing to learn from, so you can only feel it with your own heart." When you feel it, take control of it with your mind. The heart moves with it, and the thoughts are endless......"

Yue Fan asked, "How does the spiritual power attack?"

"When you fully learn to control your mental power, you will be able to see what it does. Different people have different mental powers, and there are many ways to attack. For example, invisibility, vacancy, object control, illusion, alienation, etc. Under normal circumstances, a magician will only have one type of magic, but a few magicians with very strong mental power will have two or three kinds of magic, and the power should not be underestimated. In addition, there are some side branch magicians, and the changes in their mental power are even more strange. Evil spells such as witchcraft and Gu magic ......"

Xiao Qin said carefully, Yue Fan listened attentively, and unconsciously thought it was late at night. And the two children have been running around for a day, and they have already fallen asleep in bed.

Looking at the two sleeping children, Xiao Qin's eyes were full of warmth, and then he changed into deep sorrow.

Seeing this, Yue Fan couldn't say anything, but said lightly: "How can you become strong without experiencing wind and rain." ”

Xiao Qin nodded, retracting the sadness in his heart.

......

"How does mental power compare with martial arts?"

"A gravity, a heavy god, there is no way to compare the two, if you really want to compare, the magician is essentially weaker than the warrior, and can only rely on the magic tricks to win, so the general magician will hide in the shadows, not known by the world. ”

"Spiritual power and martial arts can be cultivated at the same time, right?"

"That's right! I'm half an anomalic. But the premise is that the innate spiritual power must be strong enough, otherwise it will not be able to take care of both sides at all, and even if you are reluctant to cultivate, you will not be able to reach the peak in the end. ”

"What is the peak of mental power?"

Xiao Qin thought for a while and said, "Spiritual power will only get stronger and stronger, and there is no such thing as a peak." However, as far as I know, when the spiritual power reaches a certain level, it will change, and at this time, the magicians call the spiritual power 'spiritual sense'. However, there are only five magicians in the world who have refined their spiritual power into 'spiritual sense', and their lethality is not far behind that of grandmaster-level innate masters. ”

Yue Fan said curiously: "There is also a difference between innate masters?"

"Of course. Xiao Qin said slowly: "The innate masters are divided into peerless masters, a generation of grandmasters, and heavenly masters, which respectively represent the innate stage from the beginning to the Hinayana and the Hinayana to the Mahayana, and the innate Great Perfection is the realm of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao master has become a legend in the past hundred years. Perhaps, but not in the red dust. ”

"By the way......" After a pause, Xiao Qin reminded: "There is another thing you must remember that the contradictions between the magicians and the people in the rivers and lakes are fierce, and the two rarely coexist, so it is best not to be discovered by others. ”

"I understand. Yue Fan nodded lightly. In fact, there is no need to be reminded by the other party, and he is not a high-profile person.

"The two of them are also people with strong innate spiritual power, right?" Yue Fan looked at the two children on the bed.

"That's right, they are all hard-working children, and their strong spiritual power does not bring them happiness, but endless evil. Xiao Qin sighed.

Yue Fan didn't want to pay attention to the matters involving the rivers and lakes, so he didn't ask.

As if remembering something, Yue Fan suddenly spoke: "Senior, look at your Yin Tang purple, your eyes are cloudy, and the tips of your hair are yellow, because you should have been hit by a rare strange poison. ”

"I didn't expect the little brother to be able to disagree with the yellow technique!"

Xiao Qin was a little surprised, and then nodded and said: "That's right, I was poisoned by the poison of the Hidden Medicine King-Purple Begonia, if I hadn't relied on my skills to suppress the poison, I'm afraid I would have returned to the West long ago." Even so, it can only last for a while, and the people in the rivers and lakes who are looking for trouble for us today are not the first batch, and I don't think they are the last, if I fall, what will happen to these two children!

Yue Fan bowed his head and said: "I have also heard of the poison of the purple begonia, it is indeed extremely poisonous, you can suppress the poison and show that you have profound skills, but if you don't detoxify it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't last for half a month." ”

"I also know, but ......" Xiao Qin was shocked and said, "It's difficult...... Don't...... Little brother, you ...... Do you have a solution?"

Xiao Qin's eyes flickered, like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw and staring at Yue Fan tightly.

Yue Fan picked up the empty cup on the table, and suddenly the knife in his hand flashed, and a deep scar was drawn on his left wrist, and blood slowly flowed out and dripped into the cup...... The wound then heals, leaving only a thin scar on the wrist. He knew many years ago that after swallowing the blood gallbladder of the black viper, his own blood could indeed cure many strange poisons.

Xiao Qin looked at the wound on Yue Fan's wrist in surprise, and his expression was incredible: "This ...... Little brother, what are you doing?"

Yue Fan said indifferently: "This is my secret. ”

Xiao Qin immediately restrained his expression when he heard this, nodded and stopped asking.

Yue Fan handed the cup of blood to Xiao Qin and said solemnly: "I will drink it if I believe it." ”

Xiao Qin was stunned, looking at the half cup of blood, he suddenly felt a little disgusted, although he had killed countless people himself, but he had never had such an extreme method of drinking blood.

Xiao Qin looked at the two children on the bed, then at Yue Fan, and finally took the blood cup and drank it in one gulp......

As soon as the blood entered his mouth, Xiao Qin felt that a fresh fragrance was refreshing, without the slightest fishy smell, just like drinking tea.

Then Xiao Qin felt that the cold in his body was gradually dissipated, and his whole body became warm, and there was no discomfort at all, and it was comfortable. When he came back to his senses, he found that Yue Fan had already left.

"This little brother is really a strange man, and it is also a blessing to meet him. Pity...... I don't even know the name of the benefactor. ”

Xiao Qin was secretly distressed, and it was difficult to calm down in his heart.

......

―――――――――――― back to his room, Yue Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, carefully experiencing Xiao Qin's experience.

After a night of talking, Yue Fan finally had a general understanding of spiritual power, although the actual situation of the two was different, he felt that the road ahead was a vast sky, and his heart was excited.

......

Early the next morning.

Yue Fan slowly opened his eyes, and an imperceptible melancholy flashed in his eyes.

"Officialdom is like turning back to the shore of the sea, and once you enter the rivers and lakes, you will never return. "Yue Fan knows that Xiao Qin and the others have already left, and the road ahead is still a thorn, is this the rivers and lakes!?

"Big brother! Get up. Xie Xiao's crisp and tender shout came from outside the door, and he muttered: "I can't get up so late, I'm really lazy." ”

After Yue Fan opened the door, the little girl walked into his room with a big grin, and said curiously: "Big brother, I don't seem to have seen you smile, can you laugh?"

Yue Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "I used to." Then he touched his face and said secretly, "yes, I haven't laughed in a long time." ”

"Let's go, let's go. ”

......

Not long after ―――――――――――― Yuefan and the others left, the small Ping'an Inn welcomed new guests.

A woman with a silk scarf slowly walked into the inn, followed by four men and one woman.

When the shopkeeper saw someone coming, he said impatiently: "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, the small shop is decorated and will not be accepted for the time being." ”

The woman with a silk scarf said indifferently: "I'm not here to stay at the hotel, I want to ask you something." After a gesture, the plain-clothed girl in the back handed over a piece of silver.

The voice of the woman in the silk scarf was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, beautiful and floating, which made the shopkeeper suddenly stupid, standing there stupidly, not even asking for money.

The plain-clothed girl knocked on the table with silver, and the shopkeeper came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Miss, please say, the little one must know everything." As he spoke, he put on an expression of going up and down the oil pot.

A trace of disdain and disgust flashed in the silk scarf woman's eyes, and she said, "I want to know everything that happened here yesterday. ”

The shopkeeper shrank and said nervously: "They are all gone, I haven't done anything!"

The woman in the silk scarf said coldly: "Say, what is the situation?"

"Yes...... Yes, last night this ...... Here came a large group of Jianghu characters...... "The shopkeeper recounted the events of last night in a hurry!"

When she heard a white-haired man relieving the two children, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the woman in the silk scarf and the other four men, but the plain-clothed girl was shocked. Could it be that she knows Yue Fan?

"Go get us four rooms. ”

The woman in the silk scarf waved her hand impatiently, but no one noticed the strange expression of the plain-clothed girl.

......

―――――――――――― the inn room, the plain-clothed woman just now walked up to the mirror, dipped her face with water from a basin, and gently tore off a leather mask along her cheeks...... What a subtle disguise technique!

At this time, a delicate-faced, shy girl appeared in the mirror. If Yue Fan was here, he would definitely recognize that the person in the mirror was Mr. Wan's granddaughter Ya'er.

I haven't seen each other for four years, and the world is separated.

It's a pity that providence made people, but this time they passed by.

......

―――――――――――― Taiyuan is also known as the state, the Jin Temple, Tianlong Mountain, Wei Mountain and other landscapes are magnificent and magnificent, each with different colors, therefore, since ancient times, there is the reputation of "splendid Taiyuan City".

A few days later is the Mid-Autumn Festival, at this time Taiyuan city is full of lanterns, lively and extraordinary, a joyful atmosphere, the faces of the people who pass endlessly, are filled with a kind of homesickness happiness.

People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together.

On such a day, who would have thought that in the back alley of a restaurant, there were two fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers looking for food in the cold and cold of the scraps here.

The two men were emaciated, their hair unkempt, and their bodies dirty, a little scruffier than beggars.

"Ah Jun, this festival is good! His grandmother's, there are so many delicacies, they haven't been eaten for almost a month, this time if you don't have a good meal, I'm really sorry for my stomach." The shorter boy said excitedly as he grabbed his meal.

"Of course!"

The tall young man raised his eyebrows, took a bite of the meat and bone in his hand, and said arrogantly: "Lao Tzu is right, this Taiyuan is a rich land, as long as we can raise enough money and find a big sect to learn art, one day we will be famous all over the world." ”

"Eun!"

The short boy's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but nod desperately.

......

The tall boy is called Long Jun, and the short boy is named Ding Yi. Both were orphans, and their relatives died in the famine, and they walked together because of the smell. They have lived together for three years, lived and died together, shared hardships, and their feelings are closer than their own brothers.

Long Jun and Ding Yi yearn for the pleasure of the rivers and lakes, and in the past few years, they have traveled south and north, and they know a little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. In order to learn from the teacher, the two went all the way north, looking for mountains everywhere to apprentice, hoping to learn peerless martial arts and sword worlds, and be happy in the rivers and lakes.

Juvenile feelings are always dreams, who can see through them, who is willing to be ordinary?

Unfortunately, everything is unpredictable......

Due to Ding Yi's poor qualifications, other sects naturally would not accept such people who ate and drank for nothing, so they were turned away. But Long Jun didn't want his brothers to be separated, and finally chose to leave together.

I heard that the land of Taiyuan is relatively rich, so Long Jun and the others came here more than a month ago. But......

"It's the two stinky boys who dare to go to Lao Tzu's territory to grab food, and the brothers will give it to me. ”

At the entrance of the alley, a lame beggar came menacingly, leading a dozen beggars to rush towards Long Jun and the others.

......

It turned out that after Long Jun and Ding Yi came to Taiyuan, they all ran out of entanglements, and they didn't want others to give alms, because they were weak and couldn't make a living, so they could only feed on turning over garbage, which offended the beggar leaders here.

"Ah Jun, they're here again, let's run. Ding Yi hurriedly shouted:

"Damn, isn't it just to find something to eat, you can chase Lao Tzu every day? Wait for Lao Tzu to learn kung fu well, and see who dares to bully Lao Tzu. Long Jun ran desperately, cursing in his mouth.

......

"Stinky boy, stop!"

In the blink of an eye, a group of people chased them down the street. Long Jun and the others pushed away the crowd and desperately drilled forward.

"Whoa!"

A lantern stall was knocked down by the two, causing the vendors to scold angrily.

"Run!"

Long Jun shouted loudly, his feet slippery as oil.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, and before he could react, the person had already crashed into it.

"Peng!"

With a muffled sound, Long Jun was bounced out, and it happened to press Ding Yi.

Seeing this, Ding Yi immediately flashed to the side, and stroked his chest and said, "Fortunately, I flashed fast enough, or I would be unlucky." ”

"Ouch—"

Long Jun fell to the ground and screamed in pain, and kept scolding: "Damn, which bastard doesn't have long eyes...... Ding Shorty, you remember Lao Tzu, you dare not catch Lao Tzu. Ouch-"

"Quick, they're in front, catch them. ”

At this time, a large group of beggars chased after them.

Ding Yi's face changed greatly, and he immediately helped Long Jun up and said, "They're here, hurry!"

"Let's go, where are you going?"

The crowd dispersed, and a dozen or so beggars chased after them in two or three steps, surrounding Long Jun and the others.

Long Jun got up from the ground and said angrily: "Damn, which guy who didn't open his eyes just now blocked Lao Tzu, grandma's." ”

"It's me, but I didn't stand in your way, you bumped into it yourself. ”

The person who spoke was Yue Fan, after three days of travel, he finally arrived in Taiyuan City, and he had just seen the noise in the city, but he encountered a farce again.

"You ......"

Long Jun saw that the other party was young and had white hair, and immediately choked all the dirty words in his throat and couldn't say half a sentence.

The beggar at the head said: "Don't talk nonsense, you ran away last time, and this time I have to break your legs." ”

Ding Yi was unconvinced: "Didn't you just grab a bowl of rice, do you need to chase us like this?"

The beggar said loudly in a broken voice: "The beggars here are all under the control of the beggars, you two don't know the rules, of course you have to teach a lesson." The brothers drove them out of Taiyuan City and beat me hard. ”

"Hey!"......

"Ahh......h

"Oh I kick ......."

"Oh! my little man's waist ......"

"Haha-" This kind of fight made the people around him laugh.

......

"Run......

After a fight, Long Jun took advantage of the chaos to touch a fat man's money bag, and then scattered on the ground, shouting: "Haha! The God of Wealth has scattered money, everyone come quickly." Hey...... I call you to see the excitement, I call you to watch ......"

"Ahh......h Don't pick it up, it's my money, it's my ......" The fat man didn't have time to get angry, and hurriedly ran to pick up the money.

It doesn't matter who he is, as long as it falls to the ground, it belongs to everyone. Those beggars no longer paid attention to Long Jun and the others, and hugged them together, picking up as much as they could.

"Quick...... Stop those two stinky boys. Wow! my money!"

When the bitter lord came back to his senses, Long Jun and the others had already fled.

......

Yue Fan saw right and wrong again, and felt irritable for a while, and said to everyone in the dart game: "Since you have arrived in Taiyuan, then I will go on my own road." ”

Xie Xiaoqing was immersed in the joy of the festival, and the whole person was excited, but when he heard Yue Fan's words, his heart felt like he had been splashed with cold water.

Gently pulled Yue Fan's sleeve to: "Big brother is leaving, why don't you go to my house to rest first! You see that the weather is so hot now." ”

"No, I'm going back early, there's still someone waiting for me at home. ”

Yue Fan said lightly, anyone could hear the thoughts in his heart.

Every festive season, Xie Xiaoqing is also a sensible child, seeing Yue Fan in such a mood, he didn't force it anymore, just asked with a smile: "Will the big brother still come to see me?"

"If there is time...... Yes!"

Yue Fan didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, seeing that he couldn't ruthlessly refuse a child's little wish, especially now.

Hearing the other party's answer, Xie Xiaoqing was very happy, and pretended to offer a hand: "Thank you, big brother, for taking care of you these days." In fact, I already knew that you would go the same way to protect Xiaoqing, I ......"

Yue Fan interrupted: "Don't thank me, we are indeed on the same road." ”

Xie Xiaoqing said: "Big brother, you wait first, I'll buy you something." ”

So saying, the little girl jumped up and ran towards the city.

......

―――――――――――― in a dilapidated house outside the east of the city, Long Jun and Ding Yi were lying on the ground panting, their faces blue and purple.

Ding Yi glanced at his lips and said, "Ah Jun, what should we do in the future? I'm afraid this Taiyuan won't be able to stay." ”

Long Jun thought for a while, his eyes narrowed and said: "It's okay, let's go to Kyoto, I heard that it is even richer than here, and you can pick up silver on the ground, maybe our brothers will get ahead there." ”

"But before we go, we've got to get to that guy. ”

"Who is that guy?" Ding Yi said puzzled.

Long Jun said hatefully: "Hmph, it's just to block our person." Damn, if he hadn't been in the way, how would those lame beggars have been able to catch up with us?"

"That's a good word, but how can we take revenge?"

"Hey, hey, I've been keeping an eye out for a while, he's going to pass by us, and we'll clean him up when the time comes. ”

"He seems to be very good, how can we fight?"

"We don't fight...... You go find some shit, mud and pebbles. ”

"Uh! You're so poisonous. ”

......

―――――――――――― Xie Xiaoqing bought large bags of goods from various stores, including local specialties, dry food, living utensils, etc., all of which were stuffed into Yue Fan's body, and if he couldn't take it, he put it on horseback, which was more than what he bought when he went home for the New Year.

Yue Fan really couldn't bear to be angry with the little girl's enthusiasm, so he could only accept it all, but it was bitter that the horse was carrying so many things in vain.

With his things, Yue Fan led the horse and set off to the east gate of Taiyuan, and finally embarked on the road home......

......

After Yue Fan left the city, he rode a horse, and suddenly felt alert in his heart, just like returning to the feeling he had when he was hunting before. Stop immediately and use your mental energy to observe your surroundings......

With Yue Fan's powerful spiritual power, everything around him was reflected in his mind. With a cold snort of disdain, Yue Fan drove the horse and continued to set off.

......

"Up—"

When he passed a big tree, there was a loud shout from above, and then a tattered fishing net fell from the sky and went straight to Yue Fan's body.

"Drive!"

Yue Fan's legs clamped suddenly, and the speed of the horse under his crotch suddenly increased, and he ran forward like the wind, just avoiding the range covered by the fishing net.

Long Jun originally planned to entangle Yue Fan with a fishing net first, and then throw him with dirt, expecting that such a plan would definitely come true, but who knew that the horse suddenly ran through the trap as if he had eaten a strong pill.

I was feeling discouraged in my heart, but I saw Yue Fan jumping down and running back.

"Haha, that fool is back, good chance! Throw him ......"

Long Jun and Ding Yi hurriedly picked up the stones beside them, and when they were about to throw them down, they were stunned: "What is he going to do?"

Yue Fan's speed was so fast, I saw him run to the bottom of the tree in three or four steps, and the strength of the strength was fired at the big tree, "Bang!", "Bang!" After two sounds, there was no movement, and then he left, jumped back on the horse, and stomped away.

In the blink of an eye, Yue Fan ran back and forth like this, and the remaining two people on the tree You look at me, I look at you, I don't know what the other party is going to do.

Ding Yi said with a puzzled face: "Ah Jun, what was he doing just now?"

"Damn, you ask Lao Tzu, how does Lao Tzu know ......?"

"Ahh

Before Long Jun could finish speaking, the whole tree shook.

"Ahh

"Jump! The tree is falling!"

"Boom-"

The tree suddenly broke into several pieces, and was shattered in the middle.

"Ouch, my ass ......"

Ding Yi screamed, but he was crushed by the trunk.

......

After a while, Long Jun struggled to push away the tree trunk that was pressing on his body, quickly got up, pulled Ding Yi up and chased after Yue Fan.

"Ah Jun, why are we going here?"

"Grandma's! That person just now is so powerful, better than anyone I've ever seen, he must be a legendary master, such a rare opportunity, let's catch up and apprentice." ”

Ding Yi was a little frightened and said, "Ah?!Then what if he wants to kill us?"

"If he had killed us, he wouldn't have beaten the tree. If those two blows had fallen on us, we would have been like the tree just now. ”

"Then we're not going to Kyoto. ”

"it!" Long Jun said as he ran, "When we learn peerless martial arts, we don't want anything." ”

"Well, that's right, let's chase after it. ”

"He takes the official road, then we will chase after him. ”

......

――――――――――――
