Show off your power

Li Muchan sat lazily at the table and said with a smile, "Teacher, are you really not afraid of death?"

Cao Ya stroked his beard and shook his head: "There is great terror between life and death. How can I not be afraid of death? But life and death are determined by destiny. Even if you want to struggle, you can't."

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Teacher is so knowledgeable that I thought he didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods."

Cao Ya chuckled and said: "It is better to have no book than to believe in the book. What is said in the book is only the opinion of one family. If you follow it without violating it, it will be miserable!"

Li Muchan had other psychic powers and could sense that Cao Ya was open-minded and fearless, which even he himself was far inferior to.

This is true cultivation, which is caused by the clear nature of reading. It is the true seed of reading. It is not something that a person like me can achieve. The realm is different, even if he is profound in Buddhism.

I am not afraid of death, not because I am not afraid of death, but because I know what death is like. I am afraid of the unknown. Once I understand it, I no longer have fear.

Cao Ya is different. He doesn't know what death is, but he can resist the erosion of fear with his faith. He is truly upright and upright. This cultivation is worthy of his apprenticeship.

Li Muchan said: "How many martial arts figures has the teacher offended?"

Cao Ya shook his head while stroking his beard and said: "I have never had a good impression of people in the martial arts world. When I was in office, I killed many martial arts figures and destroyed several sects. Now they all come to settle accounts with me."

Li Muchan frowned and said, "Then no one will come out to protect the teacher?"

Cao Ya shook his head and smiled: "The world is hot and cold, and human relationships are cold and warm. Now that I have no official position and a light body, I have become a useless person. It is not worth their lives."

Li Muchan pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's true. It's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I can't blame them, and the teacher doesn't need to be sad."

Cao Ya said with a smile: "I'm not worried about anything. It's just a death. I've lived for so long, so if I die, I will die. It's not a big deal."

Li Muchan frowned and said, "How old is your teacher's life?"

"Eighty." Cao Ya said.

Li Muchan said: "The teacher is not very old, why...?"

"I was deposed and demoted to a commoner." Cao Ya shook his head and sighed, showing a lonely look, stroking his beard and sighed: "The world is in trouble, and the officialdom is even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your hat. I have been intrigued for so many years.

, I’m really tired.”

Li Muchan frowned and said, "Teacher is a dismissed official?... Is that because someone is secretly exerting force?"

"Yeah." Cao Ya nodded and said, "How can we not have political enemies?"

Li Muchan said: "Can these people from the Mohu Gang be...?"

Cao Ya stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Wuji, you are not bad. You can think of this level, much better than Miao'er."

Cao Miao said angrily: "Father——!...Senior Brother Wuji, are you saying that it is the means of father's political enemies?"

Li Muchan nodded and said: "Teacher is an upright official. The other party may be afraid that Teacher will revolt again, so they want to eliminate the root cause and avoid future troubles."

"Well, it's very possible!" Cao Miao nodded lightly.

While they were talking, Xiao He was staring outside, holding a sword in his hand, ready to rush out at any moment. There was a muffled sound of "bang bang bang" from the house on the left, and Uncle Xu did not come back.

Cao Miao frowned and glanced at the door. Xiao He's face was tense and calm. She had no intention of rushing out to take a look and just stood quietly.

Li Muchan nodded secretly. This Xiaohe usually looked carefree, naive and naive, but once he encountered trouble, he was calm and composed, and his talent was really good.

"Teacher, Uncle Xu's skills are very good, can he be considered a first-class master?" Li Muchan asked.

Cao Ya stroked his beard and nodded: "Old Xu's kung fu is indeed very good. It's a blessing that he has been here these years, otherwise I would have been killed by people in the martial arts."

Cao Miao said: "Uncle Xu's martial arts are extremely high and he can be a first-rate master."

"Master." Uncle Xu walked in slowly, his square face still a bit sinister, and the room suddenly became cold and dropped a few degrees.

Cao Ya looked calm: "Is it cleaned up?"

"Yes." Uncle Xu nodded: "It's the guy from the Mohu Gang again, and his ghost is still there!"

Cao Ya said: "We will cross Baihuai soon, and they will indeed go crazy."

The forces of the Mohu Gang don't dare to cross Baihuai, otherwise they will be hunted down. They can't kill him now. They can't do anything if they cross Baihuai, so they have to start here anyway.

Li Muchan said: "Uncle Xu, I think these people are average in strength."

"They don't have many experts, but their numbers are powerful. No matter how powerful we are, we can't hold them back." Uncle Xu shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid that a slight oversight will cause them to hurt the master."

Li Muchan thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Can the guards outside stop them?"

"They..." Uncle Xu shook his head and said, "It's okay for them to kill the enemy on the battlefield. They are all warriors, but it's not good for them to fight against people in the martial arts world."

Li Muchan nodded. Martial arts are different from those on the battlefield. One is wide open and closed, and the other is small and delicate. If they really go to the battlefield, the soldiers will naturally have the upper hand. But in such a non-open place, battlefield martial arts cannot be used at all.

It's hard to take advantage.

Li Muchan said: "So, we have no power to fight back?"

"Alas..." Uncle Xu sighed and said with a wry smile: "The tree fell and the hozens dispersed. This master's loss of power has only added insult to injury to everyone. There is no one who can add fuel to the fire."

Cao Ya waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Lao Xu, I can't blame others for this. It's because I failed too much and didn't make many friends."

"Uncle Hu can't get away..." Cao Miao frowned and said, "Now it seems that someone is deliberately stumbling, isn't it, dad?"

"Well, that's right." Cao Ya nodded and said, "You finally figured it out, so don't count on Lao Hu, just let nature take its course!"

Cao Miao snorted: "Dad, you have been honest all your life, but you have ended up like this. It is really disgusting. I really don't accept it. This God is so unfair!"

"Silly girl, has the world ever been fair?" Cao Ya smiled, stroking his beard.

After everyone had dinner, they stayed in a nearby inn and rented a courtyard. Although Cao Ya was an honest official, he was not from a poor family. He was originally from a wealthy family.

Li Muchan lived in the west wing, Xiao He and Cao Miao lived in the west room, Cao Ya lived in the east room, Xu Bo lived in the east wing, and the soldiers lived in the courtyards on both sides.

Li Muchan chatted with Cao Ya for a while, listening to him talk about history.

Li Muchan listened eagerly and absorbed this knowledge. He had a dark eye on this world and urgently needed to understand it, otherwise it would be difficult to move forward.

Cao Ya was the source of his knowledge. Through Cao Ya's words, he knew the local customs, historical anecdotes, and the structure of the world.

Cao Ya is a knowledge base, which saves him countless efforts to understand. Cao Ya sees that he is so eager to learn, and also knows that he has lost his memory.

Don’t forget, being able to draw inferences from one instance is a real pleasure to teach such disciples.

The two of them talked one by one and listened to each other, discussing a few words from time to time. Unknowingly, the night turned dark. Li Muchan saw Cao Ya showing tiredness, stood up and said with a smile: "Teacher, it's getting late. Let's come here today. Teacher, take a good rest."

.”

"Well..." Cao Ya stood up, opened the window and looked at the moon. The moon hung like a silver disk in the sky. It had passed the zenith and tilted to the west, emitting a soft and clear brilliance. He smiled and said: "It's really not too early.

Yes, I’ve been saying it for so long!...Okay, you go back to sleep."

"Yes." Li Muchan clasped his fists and was about to leave the room. Suddenly his face changed slightly, he raised his right hand, and a ray of white light shot out of the window, making a muffled "bang" sound.

Uncle Xu suddenly came out, came to the window and brought out a person. He was dressed in black night clothes, his head and face were covered, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

The light in the room shone on him through the window, and a flying knife stuck in his throat swayed gently under the light, shining brightly.

Uncle Xu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If..., he didn't dare to think about it. When did this killer show up? He actually hid it from him silently!

Li Muchan shook his head: "Is this also from the Mohu Gang?"

"Well, the Mohu Gang should not be underestimated. There are such masters!" Uncle Xu's face was ashen, his eyes were blazing, and he gritted his teeth and sneered.

If it weren't for Li Muchan's presence, the master's life would not have been saved this time, and he would have no shame in living in this world.

"Is this a member of the Mohu Gang?" Li Muchan looked out.

"It must be one of theirs!" Uncle Xu snorted.

Li Muchan shook his head and said: "When did he sneak over? He didn't know it. If the teacher hadn't poked his head in just now and he moved, I wouldn't have felt it!"

Xu Bodao: "They must have arranged for manpower to wait, Mohu Gang!"

The moonlight was like water, Uncle Xu was outside, and Li Muchan and Cao Ya were in the room. As soon as the three of them talked, the man had died of anger. Uncle Xu pulled out the flying knife and handed it back to Li Muchan.

Cao Miao and Xiao He ran out. Seeing this situation, Xiao He snorted: "What's going on?"

Uncle Xu gritted his teeth, snorted, and told what happened. Xiao He was startled, and Cao Miao was also frightened, and looked at Cao Ya.

Cao Ya looked calm and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter to me, thanks to Wuji's alertness this time."

Li Muchan said: "It's the teacher's auspicious sign."

Cao Miao took a deep look at Li Muchan. This senior brother really did the right thing. He saved his life. He saved his father two or three times.

If he hadn't been saved, his father would have been in trouble now in the face of the Mohu Gang's crazy assassinations. This is really a good deed that pays off.

The moonlight was like water, shining on her crystal-clear face, which was charming.

Li Muchan's expression remained unchanged. He had already seen through her veil and saw her true face. She was indeed beautiful. Although she was inferior to Feng Mingxue and the others, she was still a first-class beauty.

"I'm really annoying, forget it, just bury him." Cao Ya pointed at the man in black on the ground and sighed: "I don't know when it will end."

"Master, it will be fine if we pass Baihuai City tomorrow." Xu Bo said.

"I hope so." Cao Ya shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this person is not from the Mohu Gang. He may be a killer sent by that gang."

"What the teacher said makes sense, we must be careful." Li Muchan nodded.

Uncle Xu frowned: "This is troublesome!"

Cao Miaodao: "How about hiring someone from the escort agency?"
