As the Lushan people took each step, with startling steps, the ice cracked under each footprint. The cracks intertwined with each other on the river, spreading all the way north, densely packed, traversing the north and south.
The old man in gray robe stood proudly, with his right hand spread out in front and his left hand behind his back. His awe-inspiring aura was rising steadily, filling the world.
The old man took his time and lightly tapped his black cloth shoes. With him as the center, the ice within a radius of a hundred meters began to vibrate.
Immediately afterwards, there was a shattering sound like broken glass as the ice stretched out, and the friction sound of the ice surfaces squeezing each other. The dense sounds were superimposed on each other, making it sharp and harsh.
"Get up". The old man's right hand in front of him slowly rose up. The ice layer with a radius of a hundred meters moved at the sound, and irregular ice blocks broke out of the river and hung in the air.
"Go"! The raised right hand flipped up and shot forward. The ice cubes in the sky flew away at the command, piercing the cold air and making a whooshing sound.
Lu Shanmin did not use brute force to break through it, nor did he slow down. The energy in his body was boiling. He stepped on the seven stars, walked like a dragon and snake, and moved around in the air to avoid the incoming ice cubes.
At a distance of only ten feet, the mountain people and the incoming ice passed by each other in an instant, and the old man was right in front of them.
Reaching out, opening fists, and pushing palms, all the acupoints on the body are opened, and the inner energy suddenly pours into both hands like a flood.
The old gray-robed Taoist was astonished by Lu Shanmin's clever footwork and the speed of mobilizing his inner energy. He snorted coldly, drew a circle with one hand and wrapped it around his palm, while retreating all the way.
As the old man's palm moved around, a strong pulling force firmly fixed Lu Shanmin's palm in the circle.
Lu Shanmin activated his inner energy again, thrust forward with his feet, and took a step closer to the old man's chest with his palms.
The old man's beard and hair were flying, and the speed of circling with his right hand increased, leaving a circle of afterimages.
"Break!" Lu Shanmin shouted, his energy level rose again, and his palm broke out of the circle.
The gray-robed old man snorted softly, and raised his right hand in the air to resist Lu Shanmin's palm.
The two palms met, Lu Shanmin continued to move forward, and the old man continued to retreat.
"Suppress"! The old man's robe suddenly expanded, and awe-inspiring energy spurted out from his palm. At the same time, he swung his left hand forward, and hit Lu Shanmin's forehead with the back of his hand.
Under the pressure of the old man's strong Qi, Lu Shanmin's internal Qi condensed, and he was already a beat too slow to evade.
He was hit hard on the forehead and his whole body slid backwards.
One palm slaps back the mountain people and old people, one step takes one step forward, and the last move comes first.
"Pressure"! A seemingly random wave of the palm brought down thousands of pressures.
Lu Shanmin's footing was not stable, and he moved with seven-star steps to avoid this palm.
Before he could gather his strength to fight back, the gray-robed Taoist's left palm was already waiting on his way to escape.
"boom"!
A slap on the forehead made Lu Shanmin retreat another ten feet.
The old man walked, seemingly leisurely, but in fact he was already close to him again in a few steps.
"Although this poor Taoist has not yet entered the realm of transformation, he has been half-stepping into the realm of transformation for nearly thirty years. He has thoroughly understood the celestial phenomena, is at ease with the Tao, and has an upright and majestic aura that understands and is compatible with every acupuncture point in the body. How can you be the only one who is still standing at the door and watching?
no fanatic can compare with it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's palm appeared in front of the door again.
The old man's Qi was pure and domineering, with a majesty that suppressed all things. In front of him, the internal Qi in Lu Shanmin's body showed signs of being restrained, and he was unable to completely do whatever he wanted.
Unable to avoid it, this palm fell on the forehead again
superior.
His body was blasted out again like a cannonball, leaving a long shadow on the ice. He slid back more than two feet, and he was half-kneeling on the ice with his head bowed.
The old man continued to move forward. This time, he did not take action and put his hands behind his back.
"You have cultivated both internally and externally. You are an ancient genius. If it weren't for your half-step vajra body, which is like fine iron, you would have been useless."
Under the three palms, despite his strong physique, Lu Shanmin's head was buzzing at this time. For a moment, his state of mind was shaken. Even if this person is so strong, how invincible is Lu Bugui? Could it be that he is so powerful?
This time I guessed wrong and became a meat bun beating a dog.
"Cultivation is not easy. Don't let down the good talent God has given you. Let's go."
Just when he thought the old man would kill him, the old man stopped.
Lu Shanmin suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and red due to the collision of energy. Naturally, he did not believe what the gray-robed Taoist said. Lu Bugui sent an invitation to invite him, so how could he let him leave so easily? What's more, the Lu family is a family.
A hypocrite.
"Old Taoist priest, are you kidding me?"
The old man shook his head helplessly, "You are so obsessed with the devil that you no longer trust anyone."
Lu Shanmin chuckled and sneered, "You are wrong, I just don't believe your Lu family."
The gray-robed Taoist looked at the Lushan people with pity and said calmly: "You are no match for me."
"Yeah"?
"If you correct your evil ways and return to the right path, follow the righteous path of Heaven, and realize the true meaning of Heaven's Way, if you are given twenty or ten years, you may have a chance, but now you have been invaded by demons and have deviated from Heaven's way. Let alone taking one step further, your realm will be reduced all the way.
fall".
Lu Shanmin stood up slowly and laughed. Did he really find it funny, "You seem to know the way of heaven very well"?
"I have been away from the mortal world for decades and devoted myself to understanding the way of heaven. I can't say that I understand it very well, but at least I understand it a little bit."
Lu Shanmin slowly adjusted the Qi in his body, with a sarcastic smile on his lips. "If God has a spirit, he will definitely laugh at you for being a fool."
"You"! Anger appeared on the gray-robed Taoist's face, but then it gradually dissipated.
Lu Shanmin walked forward step by step, "You still understand a little bit? You can't even tell the difference between good and evil in the world, and yet you dare to say that you understand it a little bit. You don't even know the joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows of the world, and you dare to say that you understand it a little bit.
Tell me are you stupid?"
The old man in gray robe shook his sleeves and closed his eyes slightly, "Ignorant child is just trying to use his words. I advise you to leave quickly. This place is only ten miles away from Guixi Temple. My ancestors should have sensed your arrival by now.
, you still have time to leave now."
Lu Shanmin continued to move forward and looked at the gray-robed Taoist with half-squinted eyes. He couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart. However, this doubt only passed away for a moment. Soon, he stabilized his mood again. Regardless of whether this person was being mysterious or not, since he had already
How could he come back without success? Besides, he didn't believe that Lu Bugui would just let him go.
Once his state of mind stabilized, the energy in Lu Shanmin's body became more surging. At the same time, every muscle cell began to shout and his momentum soared. "The level of the state is not an inevitable condition for victory or defeat."
Lu Shanmin's face was resolute, and the murderous aura in his body gradually condensed, "Do you know why the inner family is always half as good as the outer family at the same level? It's because the inner family is too focused on understanding and lacks actual killing. And the outer family, every level is based on
"Fighted out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."
The two of them were ten meters apart. The muscles on Lu Shanmin's body were bulging. "You are at a higher level than me, but your experience in killing is not enough. The experience of being killed is not enough."
It’s not enough. You think you will win with just a few tricks. You are too naive.”
The old man sighed, "I don't know how high the sky is."
"Then I will let you know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is"!
"Roar"! Lu Shanmin roared and jumped up high.

Lu Zimin stretched out his hand outside the porch and caught a piece of snowflake. The snowflake was crystal clear and gradually disappeared under the warmth of his palm.
"I didn't expect that person to be able to carry it for so long."
Lu Bugui stroked his beard and said, "Do you think your grandpa can beat him?"
"Isn't it?" Lu Zimin said matter-of-factly.
"Do you know why your grandfather stayed at Half-Step Qi Transformation for thirty years and was unable to break through?"
Lu Zimin looked at Lu Bugui with curiosity on his face, "Why?"
"Because he has not yet understood the four words 'Heaven is ruthless'".
"Heaven is merciless"? Lu Zimin opened his mouth in shock.
"Children, only by understanding the ruthless nature of heaven can we transcend the shackles of heaven."
Lu Zimin's eyes widened even more, and he didn't believe that these words came from the old man's mouth. "Ancestor, haven't you always said that the law is natural and that one should do nothing. The way of heaven governs all things, so how can all things transcend the shackles of the way of heaven?
And why should we transcend the way of heaven?"
"Because the way of heaven is ruthless."
Lu Zimin was a little confused. Not only did he not understand, but he became even more confused.
Lu Bugui smiled and said, "Don't think in a hurry. You just need to remember what you heard and saw today. There will be plenty of time to understand slowly in the future."
Lu Zimin snorted and asked without thinking further, "Does this have something to do with the fight between grandpa and that man?"
"Of course there is. It is not unreasonable for outsiders to go against the will of heaven and enter Taoism through martial arts. They are bent on death and seeking survival in death. As I just said, there will always be a few fish that slip out of the net."
"Want to die and live in death"? Lu Zimin read it silently and seemed to understand something, but he seemed to understand nothing.
"That man is only twenty-eight years old no matter how defiant he is. He has just entered the half-step of Qi transformation. Grandpa has been immersed in the half-step of Qi transformation for thirty years. How can he lose?"
"I didn't say he would definitely lose. Although that person is a cultivator both internally and externally, his own strength is not terrible. What is terrible is his Tao."
"What is his way"?
Lu Bugui frowned slightly and thought for a long time, "I don't know how to describe it. He practices the way of heaven, but he doesn't seem to believe in it. He is in awe of heaven and earth, but he doesn't seem to be shackles by heaven and earth. He should be aloof, but he is willing to
Living with ants. Maybe he regards all things as the Tao, or maybe he doesn’t have the Tao at all.”
The more Lu Zimin listened, the more confused he became. Everyone who has reached the peak of cultivation must have his own way, otherwise there will be no goal or direction. That is the core of the state of mind. Without this core, the state of mind will be like a plate of loose sand and will never be stable.
The rocks gather together.
Lu Zimin seemed to have thought of something and blurted out, "Ancestor, you mean that he is just an ordinary person, just like those walking dead ants among all living beings."
Lu Bugui's eyes suddenly lit up. He stared at Lu Zimin blankly for a long time, then he looked up and laughed loudly. The laughter resounded throughout the world and made the snowflakes tremble.
Lu Zimin looked confused, not knowing why his ancestor was laughing.
