Pan Chongche could no longer remember how long it had been since he held the handle of the knife and regained the feeling of being proud and proud on the battlefield.

But the blood is still not cold, and the heart is still surging. Although the knife has not been seen, the knife is not in hand, but now the knife is everywhere.

Since entering the innate realm, I have understood the meaning of pursuing the way of heaven, but my life has become longer, and I have learned how to make myself go further. There is no longer much meaning in being needlessly competitive.

Although the practice after entering the innate realm is still so long and endless, at least a path to eternity has been found.

Every practitioner is exploring the meaning of life all the time and pursuing the hidden guidance in the way of heaven.

Pan Chongche's heart may be more urgent than ordinary people. From the first few decades of practice, he intended to become a strong man. The pursuit of moves, as long as you have enough perseverance, you will eventually break through to the desired level.

Breakthrough after breakthrough, duel after duel, Pan Chongche saw that his manpower was exhausted. Occasionally, I received advice from an expert, and I realized that there is still a way of heaven in the world. Although it sounds illusory, I see another world.

From simple strength training to Qi training at the threshold, colorful doors opened in front of Pan Chongche. He practiced like crazy and finally stood out. After countless attempts and hard work, coupled with the correct guidance from experts, the young Pan Chongche became a master of the family.

I saw countless masters coming to Lingnan and gathering at Prince Xing's Mansion, wanting to have a try with Liu Yan. The eye-opening Pan Chongche not only absorbed many useful experiences, but also broke through to the innate realm of refining qi and transforming into gods through constant practice and discussion in a short period of time.

From this, he took a crucial step on his pursuit of perfection. An ordinary inner master refined his energy and made a breakthrough. Not only did he become a master in the innate realm, he also had great confidence and perseverance. Soon after, he became a celebrity on the "Celebrity Strange Arts List".

Of course, Pan Chongche was also confused. Seeing Emperor Gaozu's skills that day, Pan Chongche knew that he had a long road to practice. The skills of Emperor Gaozu were all Pan Chongche's unreachable goals in this life.

As his cultivation level continued to improve, although Pan Chongche did not go out into the world, not only did he not feel proud of it, but he practiced more cautiously. However, he joined the military camp and earned a reputation as a swordsman with his unyielding momentum.

The Tyrant Sword is sharp and invincible. The Tyrant Sword also represents a kind of persistence. Pan Chongche is the embodiment of this momentum. Even in the military camp, he is enough to make his opponents feel timid. Over the years, as my state of mind has continued to improve, my cultivation has naturally become incomparable to what it was before.

On the contrary, Pan Chongche seemed to have changed a person, from an extremely powerful swordsman to a gentle and elegant ordinary person. Many people thought that after Pan Chongche returned to Prince Xing's Mansion, he wasted the struggle by entering the Chamber of Internal Affairs. Not only did his skills not improve, but his cultivation level declined greatly.

Since the death of the great ancestor Liu Yan, Lingnan has produced three masters on the "Celebrity Qiyi List". Although Pan Chongche, Shi and Yang are not as close as brothers, they often communicate and learn from each other, and they also benefited a lot from Liu Yan's side.

However, Shi and Yang knew that Pan Chongche had truly returned to his original nature. Both his state of mind and his cultivation level had changed from the aggressive and sharp-edged attitude of the past to a state where there was no breeze or drizzle in the ancient well. This is not only another change in the innate realm, but also an important stage in the differentiation of cultivation.

Shiwu devoted himself to cultivation and achieved his breakthrough one step ahead of two others. But this kind of subtle breakthrough only occurs in one thought, and there is a great danger that one thought can turn you into a devil and another thought can turn you into a Buddha. Only when you have truly stabilized your practice can you truly enter another realm.

Even though Shi and Wu had taken a firm step forward, they were not at all excited or proud. Instead, they were looking forward to Pan Chongche's breakthrough. In fact, there is not much difference in the cultivation level of the three people. The biggest difference is the difference in state of mind.

Because along the way of cultivation, even people who come from the same discipline will have different results in the end. Every experience that the other person crosses may bring endless insights to oneself. Therefore, the knight-errant swordsmen in the martial arts world all hide their cultivation deeply and rarely share their precious cultivation experience with others.

The fact that three people grew up in Prince Xing's Mansion is really an anomaly in the world, and it is also one of the main reasons why Lingnan has not been disturbed by the outside world.

Of course, although the three of them were all in Prince Xing's Mansion, due to certain changes that year, they were no longer practicing together.

It was because of the death of Emperor Gaozu that year and the incident of seizing the rightful son among the princes, the structure of Prince Xing's Mansion had undergone tremendous changes. Not only did all the people around Liu Yan in Prince Xing's Mansion change, even Liu Bin, who succeeded the throne, refused to let go of his brother, not to mention various people who were close to his brother.

Although Pan Chongche had very little contact with Shi and Yang after entering the military camp, because they were both in Prince Xing's Mansion and the same court, although there was no hostility, the subtle perception between the masters made the three of them still feel distant. resonated.

Regarding the dispute between Liu Bin and Liu Sheng, Pan Chongche naturally did not want to get involved, and he did not expect that both Shi and Yang would side with Liu Sheng. He resolutely threw himself into the military camp stationed on the border, where he wanted to let his sword shine brightly.

He did not disappoint and joined various campaigns in the military camp. The Jiaozhou Rebellion, the Eight Kingdoms Rebellion in Zhongtian, and the Chu-Han War, here he reached the highest point of returning to his true nature.

Because Lingnan is located in a remote area, it has always been considered a wild land by the Central Plains and is easily ignored by people. Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, there would be the world's number one, the real Jiao Zhe Liu Yan, who was considered a century-old genius, and then the world-famous "Celebrity and Strange Arts List", which would be occupied by Lingnan in the third place. seats.

Although Emperor Gaozu Liu Yan pursued the unity of heaven and man, he ultimately failed when he attempted to break the void due to too much pride or some reasons unknown to outsiders, but he could not stop everyone from pursuing the way of heaven.

When Emperor Gaozu passed away, Pan Chongche, as a disciple who had received personal guidance in name, could not be by his side. Pan Chongche considered it a lifelong regret. So Pan Chongche, who returned to Prince Xing's Mansion, tried every means to enter the palace and see where Emperor Gaozu finally returned to see if there was any valuable experience left behind for him to refer to and learn from.

Pan Chongche didn't get what he wanted. All the sons of Emperor Gaozu were not easy to deal with. Although no one had become a master of the Qiyi List, they didn't want others to benefit. Liu Bin, who succeeded the throne at that time, not only listed Emperor Gaozu's former palace as a forbidden area, but also prohibited others from entering.

At this time, Liu Sheng found Pan Chongche. He knew Pan Chongche's wish. He promised to let Pan Chongche enter the palace to see or comprehend the scene when Gaozu Long returned after he accomplished his task.

Finally, Pan Chongche met Shi and Yang, and the two of them had reached a certain consensus with Liu Sheng that others could not understand. Pan Chongche felt it keenly. Because of the same keenness as a master, Pan Chongche made the choice calmly. Things went very smoothly, and they even saw them murdering Liu Bin.

Pan Chongche was not interested in such court battles, but Pan Chongche knew that in this era of supremacy of imperial power, personal power could be said to be insignificant, and even a single practitioner could not change anything. Seeing Liu Sheng ascending the throne, Pan Chongche was still a little excited, feeling that he was getting closer and closer to his hope.

Liu Sheng ascended the throne, and as he wished, Pan Chongche was allowed to enter the palace for one night, but there were several people with him that night. Naturally, Shi Wu and Yang Jiong were among them. As for what Pan Chongche felt that night, no one knew the outcome.

There is no doubt that the night was fruitful. No matter how many people benefited that day, he has since entered a new stage. The realization of Emperor Gaozu's dragon's return eventually led Pan Chongche to meditate in his mansion for three years. What height Pan Chongche reached, but no one knew the result. After that, Pan Chongche came back and was finally ordered to go on an expedition.

Although Pan Chongche easily won the battle with Bian Hao on the top of Baoshan Mountain in Chenzhou, he was rightfully listed on the "Celebrity Strange Arts List". But it made him miss the feelings he had in the palace that day even more. He needed to return to that place, so he introduced to the world Shi Wu and Yang Jiong, who had changed their names.

Regardless of whether he made Shi Wu and Yang Jiong a success, or they made him a success. After returning to Prince Xing's Mansion in triumph, he was summoned to the palace to see Liu Sheng, and finally agreed to Emperor Liu Sheng's three moves against Yang Jiong who was invisible in the palace.

No one knows how it will end, but since then Lingnan has had three masters on the Qiyi list, and no one has dared to challenge them for many years.

Emperor Liu Sheng seemed to be calm and calm. He seemed to have identified Pan Chongche's weakness and persuaded him to serve as an internal servant.

For a master, this shame is intolerable to many people. But for Pan Chongche, he actually didn't take it seriously, because he knew that he had successfully returned to his original nature, and he had already half-stepped the threshold of refining the gods and returning to the void.

The road to spiritual practice is so long. For that dream back then, he must enter the palace to find his own dream.

I still remember that it was winter. The weather in Lingnan is always hot, but it is also very cold. Pan Chongche met that person for the first time, that aloof young man, the person who influenced his life.

He was standing in the crowd, surrounded by majestic guards, but he seemed to stand out from the crowd.

More than a hundred orphans were carefully selected and summoned to the palace of Prince Xing's Mansion. Pan Chongche became one of the ten luckiest. At that time, he was still a young man who was just beginning to understand human affairs. That year, because he saw that admirable young man, he made a vow that would affect him for the rest of his life!

He later found out that this ruthlessly handsome young man was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, a man named Liu Yan. A young man who made the King of Chu, Ma Yin, admire him, a man who made the King of Tang, Li Bian, sigh, a young man who made Jiaozhou surrender, and a man who made Fujian and Yunnan fawn over.

Today, Pan Chongche still clearly remembers that handsome face. The image of that young man that day was like the most important Zi Zi Tian among the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and it was too important in Pan Chongche's heart. But in those eyes that were like a deep pool, Pan Chongche seemed to see the shadow of another person at this moment.

This shadow is not so clear, and even a little blurry, so vague that it feels familiar. His familiar face seemed to be constantly calling to him in the deep pool, and he seemed to have fallen into the deep pool, swimming forward with all his strength, as if he just wanted to see who this person was!

Although I couldn't see the face clearly, it seemed that this person had been deeply ingrained in my mind, as if he was born to be there, and he vaguely and suddenly overlapped with Liu Yan.

"It turns out that they are supposed to be the same kind of people, but a certain family has always refused to admit it in their hearts!" A shouting voice sounded in his heart, and he seemed a little helpless, but Pan Chongche knew clearly that this was him! Another self hidden in my heart.

I have always underestimated Liu Jixing. From the first time I saw Xia Qinghou following him, I thought it was necessary for Dao Zun's world plan. Later, he took over the power easily and made preemptive arrangements for preparations.

If what really touched me was his ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities and his grasp of the surrounding separatist forces. I always thought that he was controlled by Tao Zun, but I didn't expect that the secret party he established would actually control everything from behind.

At such a young age, not only is his scheming hidden deep, he is also able to express himself freely. How many people in the various vassals and towns in the world can compare? If only a few years pass, who else in the world will be our rival.

Looking at the distant mountains in front of him, Pan Chongche's thoughts flashed through his mind.

Because Yang Jiong was sent to deliver the message in person, Pan Chongche obtained greater information. The shock in his heart kept Pan Chongche awake all night. He summoned generals above the rank of captain who had been training for half a year to make temporary arrangements for operations.

Although he and Yang Jiong had been separated for some time, Pan Chongche was still shocked and speechless when he thought of what he told him about the current situation. He was ordered to lead a team towards Hengzhou, just to copy Zhou Xingfeng's general Zhang Wenbiao's records.

Pan Chongche did not expect that the Lingnan army not only occupied Chuxi, but also firmly established a foothold in Wuxi. Now it has directly occupied Daozhou and has also entered the area around Yongzhou City. What's more important is that Guo Jing's men have penetrated deep into the central area of ​​Chu, and now they want to encircle Hengzhou with him and swallow up all the southern areas of Chu.

If this is the most shocking news Pan Chongche has heard in these years, then Yang Jiong brought the news from Shuzhong, which completely fried Pan Chongche. The Emperor of Shu, Meng Chang, was actually captured alive by Lingnan. Now Lingnan is sending people to take control of the situation in Shu. If nothing unexpected happens, in the next six months, two-thirds of Shu will enter the territory of Lingnan.

If Yang Jiong hadn't come to deliver the message in person, Pan Chongche would have thought he was talking nonsense. Now I have to believe that, and I have to shoulder the responsibility of pacifying the vicinity of Chunan Hengzhou and be prepared to fight against the Southern Tang Dynasty at any time.

With renewed ambition, Pan Chongche was less angry than before and more thoughtful and reserved.

The soldiers usually stationed in Yanling and Chaling undoubtedly played a great role at this time.

With Pan Chongche's foot power, it would not take long to reach Hengzhou City, but it was not that simple to restrain Hengzhou City. Therefore, Pan Chongche divided his troops into two groups, each with only more than a thousand people, and wanted to encircle the garrison in Hengzhou.

At this time, the mountain peak where Pan Chongche was standing was only more than ten miles away from Hengzhou City, and Hengzhou City was already in sight. Dozens of miles away behind him, a team following him was coming. They traveled all night, following him without stopping at all.

Presumably as soon as they arrive and take a short rest, he can enter Hengzhou City first to see this world-famous town.

I'm in your arms,

At this moment you are holding my hot body,

Your warm eyes are full of tenderness!

Melted the tenderness in my heart.

But I don’t know the misery and pain in my heart!

You look at me as if you want to integrate me into your body!

I hold you tightly, for fear that you will leave me.

But you find that I am gradually moving away from you,

We seem to be getting farther and farther away.

Because I feel so helpless,

I don't know how to choose,

looking into your eyes,

I have no way to avoid it.

Give you a knife!

This is the only thing I can do at the moment,

No one can avoid it,

No one can refuse.

Being stabbed in the face by the one I love,

What would it feel like!

His eyes are full of passion and love,

My heart is full of love and melancholy,

But there was no pause in his hand.

This terrible tenderness,

This fatal knife!

No one knows,

What would it feel like!

Only the knife is in the body,

My heart is already broken!

The knife penetrates the body,

Like wine into soft intestines!

Farewell to that sad and resentful look,

But I can never forget it.

I know I will lose you forever,

It's this knife,

At this glance,

Never see you again in this life!

Zhang Yuan looked at the face in front of him, and his surprised eyes began to blur. Blood spurted out from Zhang Yuan's body, and his handsome and distressing face was rapidly turning pale.

Life was draining away quickly. He tried to block the wound on his chest with both hands, but he didn't have the strength to do so. This knife not only penetrated the chest, but also directly cut off the heart veins. How could someone other than a professional assassin be so powerful with this precise and ruthless technique?

That gentle face seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and the eyes that he had always loved were disappearing in his mind. He tried hard to open his eyes wide, as if he wanted to see the last tenderness clearly, but his mind went blank.

She was still in front of him, a woman he loved deeply, Liu Yin, the most famous Liu Yin in Yanzhuang in Hengzhou City.

She was holding a bloody short knife in her hand. The knife had just been pulled out from her chest, carrying the hot blood in her body.

But the seven-inch knife is extremely sharp.

The blade is sharp, not ordinary iron or crude steel.

Her beautiful eyes looked at her quietly, as if her eyes no longer had the gentleness of the past, but only had a firm calmness.

Zhang Yuan only heard a soft voice, which seemed to come from nine days away: "I'm sorry, forgive me!"

Is this meant for me?

His originally desperate eyes seemed to suddenly have a warmth and a happy smile, because he heard the voice that once fascinated him. He really heard the voice, and she was actually apologizing to him.

She cares about me, she cares about me, she spoke to herself, and Zhang Yuan felt like he was about to fly.

But there seems to be a little question in my mind, why did she want to kill me?

She must have been forced, she didn't want to kill herself, Zhang Yuan still thought so even if his thoughts stopped at that moment.

With his last self-comfort, and a mentality that no one knew, Zhang Yuan's eyes gave out the final death light, and he fell on the soft red fragrant couch.

It seems like a long time, but in fact it was just a blink of an eye!

The warm expectation was met with a fatal blow. As the Sima of Hengzhou City and the highest official in the absence of the governor, and as the uncle of Zhang Wenbiao, the governor of Hengzhou, he always boasted that he was the leader of Hengzhou, one person below ten thousand people. Zhang Yuan just fell down with his eyes open.

He didn't even understand until his death that the beauty he saved with his own hands, the talented little girl who was now the most talented in Yancheng, drew a knife to kill him.

"Are you a little nervous?" A young man dressed in fine clothes had a gentle voice and walked out from behind the screen without any surprise. He looked elegant and distinguished, just like a descendant of everyone.

When he walked up to the woman, he looked at Zhang Yuan, who was still holding a sharp knife and looking at the blood-stained red incense couch quietly. His face was calm and kind. Obviously he is familiar with this woman, and being able to hide behind the screen shows that he and this woman have an unusual relationship.

Zhang Yuan's guards were outside the courtyard, but they didn't know that Zhang Yuan had been killed. When Zhang Yuan came to meet this woman, he habitually left the guards outside the hospital. Because the place is surrounded by Zhang Yuan's troops, no one can sneak in.

But a man who was hiding in the room escaped the guards' search; and a man who had never been in danger actually drew his sword and killed Zhang Yuan. It was this impossibility that destined Zhang Yuan's death.

The beautiful woman Liu Yin turned her head to look at the young man, her eyes so calm that it made people feel sad. She looked at the young man coldly, then looked at Zhang Yuan who was lying on the couch, and bit her lower lip gently: "The key and tiger charm you want are in his arms!"

The young man looked at Liu Yin quietly, his eyes suddenly became sharp. She was a beautiful woman, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. This woman seemed very strange to herself, not the person she knew at all!

The original reason why she was sent to Hengzhou City was due to today's needs, and she seemed to have made a small change in her plan. Although she had no right to restrain her, what if the plan failed because of her?

What should I do?

The young man felt a little cold in his heart. He was also his companion. His fingers could not help but slowly tighten, and his fists almost turned white.

After taking a deep look at Liu Yin, the young man naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. He strode to Zhang Yuan's side, searched out a bunch of things, and naturally found what he wanted as expected.

Then he turned back to look at Liu Yin who had already sat down. Seeing her looking at him quietly, as if she didn't care, the young man felt relieved, and his eyes suddenly flashed as if he thought of something.

"Although there is a way out! But it is not certain that it is safe. For your safety, I hope you will follow a certain family closely!" Although the young man's voice was a little cold, his eyes looking at this beautiful woman Liu Yin were a little warm.
