Chapter two hundred and seventieth pride and showing off
The higher you fly, the harder you fall.
Lin Yi didn't have the same reputation as Li Moxiao, so he certainly didn't know what the defeat in Meishan meant to Li Moxiao.
In Li Moxiao's view at the time, although he was as famous as Ni Yunshan, it was only a matter of time before he completely surpassed Ni Yunshan.
Because as the spiritual famine intensifies, Ni Yunshan's outstanding talents in Zhenyuan cultivation and other aspects will naturally be continuously weakened. However, his strength lies in his skills, and he can master various martial arts after watching them several times.
Under the situation of similar true energy cultivation, naturally the more subtle tricks you master, the stronger you will be.
At least that's what he thought before Meishan was defeated by Lin Yi.
So of course he felt that he was the first among the young generation of practitioners in the Southern Dynasties.
However, when he floated too high, he was defeated at the hands of his junior brother, whom he didn't take seriously at all.
So that battle almost destroyed his entire previous life.
So Lin Yi didn't know that Li Moxiao was walking aimlessly in Meishan at that time, and even wanted to die. He wanted to see a Northern Wei cultivator passing by, so he just happened to kill him with a sword.
However, God's will did not arrange it this way.
No Northern Wei cultivator happened to bump into him.
So he had enough time to be numb, enough time to wake up and think.
He carefully recalled every scene of Lin Yi's battle with him many times, and then he discovered that besides pure strength and skill, there were many other things that determined the outcome of the battle itself.
For example, mentality, courage, and even not being afraid of pain or losing to your opponent.
Then he discovered that he had learned to reflect.
He seemed to have become a completely different person from before.
He no longer had the arrogant pride before, and became humble and learned from the strengths of others.
Li Moxiao didn't resent Lin Yi.
On the contrary, he felt that Lin Yi made him much stronger, but of course he was not convinced. He felt that he could already defeat Lin Yi.
Cultivation requires perseverance.
So he came to find Lin Yi.
But he fought Lin Yi again and failed again, but the voice in his heart still sounded that he could still fight like this.
But the people who changed him the most this time were the sergeants of the Tiece Army who cheered for him and were not even practitioners.
From the moment he knows the truth, he is a genius among practitioners.
His life trajectory has little intersection with ordinary people, even ordinary people in Jiankang City.
The world of ordinary people is a very far away world for him.
He believed that his own honor and disgrace naturally depended on the views of practitioners.
However, those praises and cheers today changed his view.
Whether it is the world of practitioners or the world of ordinary people, nothing is too eternal.
Even a strong person like the Three Saints of the South Heaven will eventually come to an end.
Since everything will eventually come to an end, it naturally depends on whether the traces left behind are wonderful enough and can make others feel wonderful.
Hearing that Li Moxiao was going to stay, the Tiece Army sergeants in the entire camp immediately cheered one after another.
These Tiece Army sergeants are most practical.
Previously, there were only a few cultivators in the Tie Ce Army. As for the cultivators above Ruyijing, in addition to those generals, the rest were occasionally seconded. A cultivator as powerful as Li Moxiao would be a big deal for them.
It is even more important than the five bird-winged crossbows.
…
"How about it?"
Lin Yi looked at Li Moxiao who was being welcomed to his residence by the cheerful Tie Cejun, then glanced at Qi Zhuji and said with some pride.
Qi Zhuji frowned, "What is it like?"
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I told you that my cultivation talent is also good, but you don't believe me."
Qi Zhuji was unusually not angry, but frowned and said, "Can't you be less proud? Can't you be more modest?"
"How can I be proud? Pride and showing off are two different things." Lin Yi chuckled.
"It's not a good thing to show off." Qi Zhuji said, "It's just annoying."
"I seem to like to show off in front of you." Lin Yi said with a smile: "Because you always don't believe me. Even if I speak seriously, you always seem to disagree."
Qi Zhuji was startled.
This time he was really not angry, which rarely happened during his bickering with Lin Yi.
"It seems reasonable." He thought for a moment and said softly.
"Of course it makes sense."
Lin Yi looked at Qi Zhuji and said: "Because you don't understand what your problem is... For example, this time, I said that I was very confident to defeat Li Moxiao, but you didn't ask me seriously why, but you were very straightforward.
Don’t believe me. You always look at problems purely based on your judgment. For example, you think I am Lin Fox, and you think my cultivation talent is not as good as Li Moxiao’s. But these are just your thoughts. Sometimes what you think may not be accurate.
You are also not modest enough, and you don’t have the patience to carefully look at the things you have already determined. Without patience, your judgment will not change, and it is easy to make mistakes.”
Qi Zhuji's brows frowned deeply.
He was silent for a long time, and then he spoke: "You should be right."
"Of course, I'm too lazy to talk to him that much." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Qi Zhuji raised her eyebrows and said seriously: "Then why were you so confident in defeating Li Moxiao from the beginning?"
"Because I defeated him once." Lin Yi said: "I understand what is scary about him, and I told you that what I am best at is thinking of ways. Before I do it, I have figured out how to use these spears, and
He should mainly use flying swords, and I am no longer afraid of flying swords these days...He naturally has no advantage in front of me."
Qi Zhuji looked calm on her face, but she was shocked in her heart.
He felt that he had indeed underestimated Lin Yi in many aspects, or he simply did not want to think too much of Lin Yi.
"Then Li Moxiao will fight you again next time, where do you think your chance of victory is?" Qi Zhuji asked for the first time not with the attitude of quarreling with Lin Yi, but with a serious and probing attitude.
"Strength and defense." Lin Yi didn't spend too much time thinking about it. "If I have suitable heavy armor, if I encounter him on the battlefield, it should be impossible for him to break through my heavy armor. Then I will naturally be invincible."
Of course, in this kind of competition, it would be too bullying for me to directly wear heavy armor, but I should not be afraid of flying swords at that time. No matter how weird his flying swords are, I will just defend and let him attack at close range.
There is still a chance, and it should be him who has a headache. If he wants to deal with these spears of mine, I am afraid that flaws will be exposed in other places."
Qi Zhuji listened carefully as never before.
The scary thing is that he still feels that it makes a lot of sense.
"Lin Yi, it's a pity that you don't want to teach." Qi Zhuji looked at Lin Yi and said softly sincerely.
