A bonfire crackled in a small open space, and an unknown piece of animal meat was roasted to a crisp. Obviously the person who cooked the barbecue was not very good at it. Many places were scorched, and grease dripped on the fire.
There is no fragrance but a burnt smell.
Beside the fire, an old man wearing linen clothes sat cross-legged. Although his face was rosy, his long snow-white hair showed that he was no longer young.
He looked at the barbecue with all his concentration, turning it from time to time. He didn't seem to think that the appearance of the barbecue was simply inedible. Instead, it seemed like a supreme delicacy. His eyes were expectant and focused.
There is a long knife lying across the knee of this old man in sackcloth. The handle is black and the scabbard is also black. It seems very ordinary, but the terrifying cracks hundreds of miles long on the ground in the distance are actually this seemingly ordinary knife.
Cut with a knife!
This is an ascetic who walks on the edge of life and death, putting his own safety aside to seek the ultimate breakthrough. He has been in this restricted area for an unknown amount of time, and his face is full of dust.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly, still looking at the barbecue and said solemnly: "Don't you understand that I told you to get out of here? Do you think that my knife can't kill you?"
In the distance, Bai Yang put away the Dharma form, and his true form brought Mao Mao Qinghe and the others over. He tentatively approached and said, "Senior, to be honest, I am also an ascetic. I think we should be able to communicate...
"
"..."
The old man who was grilling meat made a move, and he was probably speechless and wanted to complain.
You come to this restricted area where you can lose your life at any time and you bring a bunch of beautiful women with you. Who do you think you are as an ascetic?
"If you want to make me happy, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. The fact that you can dodge my knife proves that you have some skills. I'll give you a piece of advice. Either get out of here right away or be killed by me. Countless people have died at my hands.
I don’t mind adding a few more!” the old man said indifferently.
Looking at the old man thousands of meters away, Bai Yang quickly weighed in his mind. He understood that this person was probably an extreme person. This kind of person is often very pure. If he is not careful, he will draw a sword against him. But on the contrary, if he does what he wants,
, you can become friends very quickly, and they are the kind of people who are willing to give in to each other.
However, becoming friends with this kind of person requires taking a lot of risk, as the other person may turn against you at some point.
Stopping, Bai Yang cupped his hands and said: "Senior, I am really an ascetic. I wander around the edge of life and death in search of breakthroughs, trying to climb the supreme peak of the spiritual path. To be honest, I also know several ascetics.
Well, each of them is a supremely powerful person, each of them has blazed his own path..."
"Is there an ascetic who leads women through life and death? Young man, get out of my way before I get angry!" the old man said with a cold look.
Ignoring Bai Yang, he reached out and grabbed the charred barbecue and chewed it. The meat was not roasted well, and bloodshot blood spilled from his lips while chewing.
This old man was a bit inexperienced. Bai Yang continued: "Senior, the path I take is different from yours. I take the path of the world of mortals. I have cares and perseverance in my heart. Not only do I have to master the powerful strength to climb the heights bravely,
I also need to protect the people around me, so I take them with me. Only by taking care of everything can I unleash my greatest potential and improve myself."
Is there such a way of practice? There seems to be some truth. Being strong alone is not considered strong. Being able to protect everyone around you is truly strong...
Seemingly feeling what Bai Yang said, the old man's face softened a little. After finishing the barbecue in several bites, he took out a wine bottle and took a big sip. He burped and said, "Tell me about the ascetic friends you know."
Everyone who is aspiring to climb the peak knows that working behind closed doors will only lead to complacency. This old man still understands the principle that rocks from other mountains can attack jade, and he wants to learn from other ascetics.
Bai Yang had an idea, so he tentatively approached some of the others but did not refuse, so he simply took the kitten and the others to the fire.
Instructing the kittens and the others to calm down, Bai Yang sat down, took out a wine flask, took a sip of wine and said, "Senior, the ascetics I know are incredible, every one of them is a peerless person.
It’s a pity that their whereabouts are elusive, and I have only met them once or even just heard of them..."
The old man did not speak. He seemed not good at talking. He did not urge Bai Yang and listened quietly.
Always paying attention to the movements of the other party, and seeing that the old man was unmoved, Bai Yang continued: "One of the ascetics I know, no one knows his real name, he has never been defeated in his life, he is a swordsman, and he used a sword when he was young.
He defeated all the powerful enemies in the world with his green-fronted long sword. When he was middle-aged, he felt that the green-fronted long sword was too murderous, so he switched to an edgeless heavy sword. The heavy sword without edge was ingenious and inefficient, and no one in the world could take his sword.
After another period of time, his swordsmanship reached its peak. He no longer relied on the power of weapons, but instead used a wooden sword. He was still invincible and had never encountered an opponent in the world. When his swordsmanship reached its peak, he abandoned the sword and used it, and everything in the world was covered by mountains, stones, grass and trees.
At that time, he was already invincible with his swords. He created a set of Dugu Nine Swords, which could defeat all the techniques and moves in the world. At that time, he sighed but failed to win, so he called himself Dugu Qiu, and he retired to the mountains and forests without a trace...
…”
Bai Yang observed the old man's face as he spoke. After hearing this, the other man's face was moved, his eyes flashed and he was mumbling some words.
The long sword with green edge...the heavy sword without edge...the wooden sword of mercy...the sword of heaven and earth...Dugu Qiufe, this is an invincible and lonely swordsman...
Knowing his way, Bai Yang kept up his efforts and continued: "Let's talk about another ascetic that I know, named Zhang Sanfeng. He was unknown all his life until he was old. He traveled around the world to learn various martial arts techniques and moves. When he was old, he once
Enlightenment, watching the sun rise and the moon set, comprehending the yin and yang avenue, and creating many peerless skills, among which boxing and swordsmanship are the most famous. Whether it is boxing or swordsmanship, it pays attention to the combination of yin and yang, hardness and softness, hardness in the middle, softness in the middle, hardness in the middle, and four or two moves of a thousand pounds.
, including the principles of martial arts such as the use of softness to overcome strength, etc., he directly created a martial arts school. This is a truly supreme master. However, his whereabouts are currently unknown. I am afraid he is seeking to break through to a higher level..."
The Great Way of Yin and Yang... use softness to overcome hardness, and use four ounces to lift a heavy catty...
Hearing Bai Yang talk about Zhang Sanfeng, the white-haired old man was moved again. He murmured to himself and his eyes flickered as if he had some understanding.
When the other party was almost digested, Bai Yang added: "There is another ascetic named Bodhidharma. No one knows where he was born. He came out of nowhere, defeated all the heroes in the world, and displayed seventy-two invincible stunts."
, there is no repetition, like the scorching sun suppressing eternity, but this invincible ascetic is also short-lived. Rumor has it that he will sit in seclusion for nine thousand years to seek greater breakthroughs. By the way, it seems that he is studying a peerless magical skill.
What is it called the indestructible body of vajra? Once it becomes a physical body, it is indestructible and will remain invincible forever..."
Bodhidharma, seventy-two unique skills, retreat to death, indestructible body...
"There is also an invincible emperor, a being at the level of the Emperor of Heaven. He proclaims himself the First Emperor. He creates the magical skill of covering the sky with one hand. He uses the power of one country to sweep through the six surrounding celestial dynasties, leaving behind a set of invincible magical weapons named Twelve
The golden man is missing..."
"There is also a Taoist master named Li Er. It is said that he was born with white hair, and the world calls him Lao Tzu. At first, he did not know how to practice, and he specialized in learning. One day, he had an epiphany, wrote a moral scripture, and became a saint from heaven.
The purple energy spreads for thirty thousand miles..."
"There is also Xiao Han, who was born in Hedong in the thirty years and in Hexi in the thirty years..."
"By the way, I also know that an invincible monkey ascetic was held down by a Taoist master for 500 yuan at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. Once he had an epiphany, he created the seventy-two magical powers that opened the sky, and he called himself the Great Sage Qitian. He once
A monkey's stick destroyed an entire dynasty..."
Bai Yang told the white-haired old man one by one about the ascetics he knew. After listening to the other party, he remained calm at first, then slowly became moved, then became fascinated, and then was simply shocked beyond measure.
I have always been just a frog in the well. It turns out that there are so many ways in the world, and it turns out that there are so many peerless powerful people that I don't know about.
After the white-haired old man had almost digested it, Bai Yang said: "Senior, this junior is really an ascetic. If I am not an ascetic, how can I know those ascetics, right?"
When Bai Yang said this, he secretly changed his concept. At first, he said that those ascetics were all his friends.
The white-haired old man didn't know whether he noticed this and didn't care about it or didn't realize it. He finally said: "Okay, I believe you are an ascetic, so what is your purpose in finding me?"
"To be honest, senior, although I am an ascetic, I have not completely walked out of my own way. Now there are two powerful enemies behind me who are chasing me..." Bai Yang said calmly.
"For the sake of you telling me that there are so many roads in martial arts and Shinto that will help me, I can help you with the two people behind. You can go," the white-haired old man said with his head lowered.
"Thank you, senior. I have one more thing I would like to ask you." Bai Yang stood up and said with his hands.
"Tell me I'm in a good mood, tell me." The old man lowered his head and said without looking at Bai Yang.
"I think senior has been in this restricted area for a while. I wonder which place is more dangerous? Ascetics like us seek a breakthrough between life and death. I want to go to a dangerous place. I hope senior can tell me."
After hearing these words, the white-haired old man finally raised his head and looked at Bai Yang. After watching for a moment, he found that Bai Yang had a calm face, and then he said: "There are many dangerous places in the restricted area, but the most dangerous place is the center of the restricted area.
The source of the evil energy is the abyss where the Tianyin Sect's Tianyin Bell suppresses the evil energy. No one can get close to it. Once the Tianyin Bell is alerted, there will be no life under the Earth Emperor Realm!"
"Thank you, senior, for informing me. I'll take my leave, junior!" After getting the information he wanted, Bai Yang handed over and left, taking the kitten and others with him.
After leaving a distance, Mao Mao asked Bai Yang: "Master, will that senior ascetic really help kill Lu Tiande and Wang Yue'e behind?"
"I don't know. I don't expect the old ascetic to help kill the two people behind him. I just need to hold them back for a while." Bai Yang shook his head and said.
Qinghe next to him flashed his eyes and said, "Does Bai Lang want to use Tianyin Bell to kill Lu Tiande and Wang Yue'e?"
"Sure enough, Qing He has a beautiful heart. You have guessed all this." Bai Yang smiled and said without comment...
