It's already autumn.
The wind blew all night last night, and dead leaves fell all over the ground.
After the garden.
Ming Lao yawned and walked out of the room, looking tired and listless.
Thinking back to yesterday, I thought I had found a genius with extraordinary talent, and could finally pass on the arithmetic of heaven. My long-cherished wish came true, and I felt happy.
But I didn't expect it.
Fetching water from a bamboo basket was in vain.
That guy watched the arithmetic for a whole day, but he didn't understand it at all.
Ming Lao was disappointed and stayed up all night.
As soon as it dawned, he came to the small courtyard next to the garden again and looked over with the last glimmer of hope.
But when I saw it, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
Li Ye was not learning the arithmetic of heaven, but actually practicing boxing.
yard.
He was full of energy, exhaled as if he had practiced in vain, and opened and closed every move.
His boxing skills were obviously on a fierce and domineering line.
The moves are connected smoothly, rounded and silky, and the body moves like a tiger and leopard, hiding murderous intent. Every move and every move is sharp, tricky and cruel.
The moves are deadly and contain countless changes.
Boxing seems simple, but in fact it has reached a state of returning to nature.
Like a master of martial arts.
The fallen leaves on the ground rotated with his boxing movements.
With a sudden punch, the void shook and all the fallen leaves were annihilated.
"This guy is cruel and cruel, killing people like crazy. It's not unreasonable!"
"At least this set of boxing skills is something that few people can match."
Ming Lao lit a pot of pipe against the threshold, smoked, and stopped to stare with admiration on his face.
Looking at it, he became interested.
He put down his pipe, rubbed his hands with a smile, jumped into the yard, and shouted: "Take a punch from me!"
The man was in the air and had already punched down, hitting Li Ye's face. But at the moment the attack landed, his body suddenly spun in the air and his fist hit Li Ye's bottom path.
He is an existence at the pinnacle of ferocity.
He has a high level of cultivation and powerful strength, and the most terrifying thing is that he is proficient in arithmetic.
With just a thought, you can predict the enemy's attack path.
now.
He predicted that Li Ye would block his oncoming moves, so he turned to attack the bottom lane.
But at this moment, as soon as the fist of the bottom lane fell, Li Ye's palm was already waiting there.
"Um?!"
Ming Lao was surprised, turned his fist, and struck Li Ye's abdomen.
He predicted that Li Ye had a loophole.
But as soon as his fist fell, Li Ye's palm was waiting there again.
"Hmph! I don't believe you are so lucky every time!"
Ming Lao snorted and changed his attack again.
But then he discovered that no matter how he predicted Li Ye's moves, Li Ye's palm would always be waiting there in advance when the attack landed.
Not more than a second.
Not less than one breath.
The timing is extremely precise.
After a while.
Still the same, Ming Lao's attack moves were all blocked by Li Ye in advance.
The more Ming Lao beat him, the more shocked he became, and his expression became even more incredible.
As if he thought of something.
He suddenly backed away in disbelief and said loudly: "Boy, did you foresee my prediction?"
Li Ye withdrew his move, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Thanks to the heavenly arithmetic taught by my senior, it is indeed extraordinary. When used in actual combat, it is really even more powerful."
This is an acknowledgment of the problem of old age.
Ming Lao was immediately shocked: "The art of prediction is the simplest art in the arithmetic. It seems simple, but if you want to predict other people's predictions, you must at least practice the arithmetic to the fifth level. Boy, you You were such a waste yesterday, why are you so useless today..."
He didn't know what to say, it was too hard to believe.
Li Ye grinned: "This junior had an epiphany last night, and by luck, he has mastered the arithmetic of heaven to the fifth level."
Ming Lao: "..."
He opened his mouth wide, astonished.
The arithmetic he gave Li Ye was only the first volume.
There are five floors in total.
Yesterday, Li Ye sat there all day without any feeling or understanding, but early this morning, he told himself that he had completed the fifth level of cultivation.
God.
What a joke!
"I don't believe it. I was so talented back then that I mastered the art of heavenly arithmetic in half a cup of tea. But it took ten years to practice the first level, fifty years to practice the second level... and it took me fifty years to practice the fifth level. , it took a full hundred years.”
"How is it possible for you to complete the entire fifth-level volume overnight?"
Ming Lao's face turned red, a little angry and disappointed.
I felt that Li Ye was lying to himself.
"I want to test you... Well, you can deduce it now, what kind of underwear am I wearing today?"
Ming Lao looked serious.
This is a very basic deduction. You don't need a turtle shell, just count with your fingers.
Li Ye moved his fingers slightly and said immediately: "Senior is not wearing underwear today."
Ming Lao was surprised.
He rolled his eyes and looked at the old and thin donkey coming from the backyard, braying all the way, and said:
"Can you deduce the bald guy? How many female donkeys will he get along with this year?"
Li Ye calculated again and said with a smile: "Er Baldy has not had an easy time with a female donkey this year. He only had a one-night fling with a mare."
"Ang ang ang!"
The old and skinny donkey suddenly brayed in embarrassment and squealed in embarrassment, slapping his hoofs back and forth in the yard. He was obviously very embarrassed.
at the same time.
There was an unbelievable look of surprise in its donkey eyes.
Li Ye has really mastered heavenly arithmetic?
And it was accomplished overnight?
It stood upright, waved its two front donkey hooves, gestured at Li Ye, and made regular donkey sounds from its mouth.
Ming Lao smiled when he saw this, and was about to translate it to Li Ye, but Li Ye said: "Based on my deduction, you want to say, let me calculate what the weather will be like today, right?"
Life is old and dull.
The old thin donkey blinked.
Li Ye can actually deduce donkey words?
This day, arithmetic came into his hands, and he was really superb.
Ming Lao was filled with joy and excitement and said, "That's right, please give us a prediction for the weather this afternoon."
Li Ye immediately said: "In the afternoon, it will turn from sunny to cloudy, cloudy to light rain, light wind, and at dusk it will turn to heavy rain."
Ming Lao nodded, this was exactly what he had deduced.
He circled around Li Ye, looking up and down, his old eyes shining, and he murmured to himself excitedly:
"A genius, a genius from heaven, a genius from all eternity, a genius even stronger than me!"
"I have never seen such aptitude and understanding in my travels in the world. I can complete the five-level arithmetic in one night. Li Ye, you are really a top-notch person!"
He was as excited as a child, dancing, talking non-stop, and laughing in the yard.
He was smiling and laughing, but he started crying again, his body was shaking, and he was crying very sadly.
Li Ye walked over to comfort him.
In any case, the arithmetic given to him by the other party was true.
And it was cultivated by myself.
Since then, he has mastered the third ancient art in the seventy-two ancient inheritances, besides the pig-weaving technique and the paper-tying technique:
Heavenly arithmetic.
The art of pig hunting is only superficial and cannot be truly taught.
The art of paper-tying is something you have to explore on your own and is not considered orthodox.
Only this celestial arithmetic, even though it only has the fifth level of the first volume, is indeed a genuine inherited ancient art and is very authentic.
Ming Lao wiped his tears and turned back to look at Li Ye, his expression was gratified and happy.
With a wave of his hand, he took out a lot of things and placed them in front of Li Ye.
"Child, these are ancient teleportation jade talismans. There are three in total. I'll give them all to you. If you encounter danger in the future, just teleport away."
Ming Lao smiled kindly and put three ancient teleportation jade talismans into Li Ye's hands.
"This is a body-protecting golden silk divine armor. It can be big or small. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It has strong body protection and defense. Even the masters at the peak of the murderous master can't hurt you at all. Come on, wear it too."
Ming Lao took off a golden armor like cicada wings from his body and put it on Li Ye himself.
"This is the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill. As long as you are still breathing, you can recover quickly after taking this pill. Come on, take it!"
"This is the Dragon Bone Nirvana Pill. It can help you temper your body. Here it is for you!"
"This is the Tiancan Talisman. Write the enemy's name on it and curse it for seventy-seven and forty-nine days. It is enough to make enemies whose cultivation level is one level higher than yours fall to death."
"This is….."
Ming Lao handed a bunch of treasures to Li Ye one by one, with a kind smile on his face, very concerned and warm.
Li Ye was dazzled when he received a gift for the first time.
With so many treasures, taking out any one of them would cause countless people to fight over them, but at this moment, Ming Lao gave them all to himself.
Li Ye felt moved and warm in his heart.
"My child, although there are many treasures, they are all external objects. Only when you are strong is the foundation." Ming Lao patted the back of Li Ye's hand and said with a smile, "Excessive reliance on treasures will make you lose your desire to conquer and your fearlessness. Being fearless is the way to be strong.”
"You have a wild temper and ruthless methods. Although they are advantages, they are also disadvantages."
"Only by having an inner square and an outer circle can you live longer in this dangerous world. Sometimes, even enemies can take advantage of them. There is no need to kill them all."
"You used two evil men, the Black Snake and the Three-Eyed Crow, to ambush the evil master of the Blood Dragon. It's a good idea. This is a strategy. You can do this more in the future. It's dangerous to seek skin from a tiger, but it's also an opportunity."
Ming Lao spoke with sincerity and sincerity, explaining his own experience.
Li Ye nodded "Yeah" and took note of it carefully.
Complex emotions arose in my heart.
The other party is a monster, and he is a human being, but regardless of this difference, the two of them are very harmonious and cordial at this moment.
Li Ye's heart was also touched.
Since he traveled to this world, apart from Lao Wang, this was the second time, the second person, to give him so much care like an elder.
He showed a grateful smile, stamped his feet together, bowed ninety degrees to Ming Lao, and said loudly:
"Senior, please rest assured, I will definitely remember your teachings!"
Ming Lao smiled and nodded.
Looking at Li Ye, he said: "The reason why your cultivation is stuck in the Sky Realm and cannot break through to the fierce level is because you have ignored the fundamentals of the Sky Realm."
"The realm of emptiness is the understanding of the power of the void."
"Only by fully comprehending the power of the void can one be promoted to the Fierce Lord. Why are the creatures at the Fierce Lord level so huge? It's because they have fully comprehended the power of the void, broken the barriers of the void, and greatly strengthened their physical bodies."
Ming Lao took the initiative to give Li Ye some guidance.
Hearing this, Li Ye suddenly realized that no wonder he was stuck in the Sky Realm and could not be promoted to the Fierce Master. At this moment, he suddenly understood that this was the reason.
He saluted and thanked Ming Lao again.
Ming Lao asked about Li Ye's cultivation process and learned that Li Ye had been groping for cultivation on his own. He was surprised and couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"No one can teach you that you can reach this point. If you meet a Master, you will definitely go higher than the current state."
"You have a bit of a destiny's son. You are very similar to the younger ones I met before. You all have great luck. The future King of Monsters will definitely be born among you."
Ming Lao sighed and revealed a secret.
Li Ye is not the only one he likes about the King of Monsters.
There are other creatures.
Ming Lao talked about his own cultivation path and gave Li Ye a reference. He also mentioned the eternal homeland, the fairyland of mountains and seas.
That was the world before Ming Lao.
A huge caged world that is also imprisoned.
"The hunters have come out and are following us. My child, you have practiced human Buddhism. As long as you hide carefully, you will be able to escape."
Ming Lao said that when he mentioned hunters, he felt a sense of fear and apprehension.
"But if you want to be truly safe, you have to find the Wordless Sky Monument."
"Borrow the power of the heavenly monument to conceal your energy, hide it from the sky, and avoid being hunted by hunters."
Li Ye asked: "How strong are hunters?"
Ming Lao sighed and shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of cultivation level, it's that the hunters are born extraordinary. They are the immortals in the immortal world of mountains and seas, and we are just ordinary creatures. We may seem powerful, but in front of the immortal magic, we are like ants. "
At this point, he paused.
Somewhat uncertainly:
"There is another saying that the hunters and the immortals in the mountain and sea fairy world are all real living people, living creatures, and we are all dead people, or dead creatures."
"That's why we are restrained by them."
Li Ye was shocked when he heard this.
This was the first time since Wuzu that he heard the talk of the dead and the living.
The two communicated in the yard.
Most of the time, Ming Lao is talking and Li Ye is listening.
The old and thin donkey next to me would bray loudly from time to time and add a few words.
It is not young anymore. It has followed Ming all its life and knows a lot of secrets and past events.
period.
Hua Qinhan came once and brought food. Like a little daughter-in-law, she stood beside Li Ye, respectful and well-behaved. She didn't speak and only listened to the exchange between Li Ye and Ming Lao.
On her beautiful face, sometimes she is amazed, sometimes confused, sometimes smiling, sometimes incredulous...
After talking for a long time.
Ming Lao handed Li Ye his ten-thousand-year-old tortoise shell full of cracks and said seriously:
"Child, this is the inherited artifact of our Tianshu Shu. The seventy-two ancient inheritances each have their own inherited artifact. You must keep it and don't lose it."
"It must be used in arithmetic and calculations."
"But don't touch some creatures or things that cannot be deduced, as they may easily suffer backlash."
He fingered the cracks in the turtle's shell.
There are tens of thousands of dense paths.
These are the traces left behind by the Ming Lao of past generations when they deduced some things that cannot be deduced.
He also told Li Ye some of the "dangerous things" pointed out by the elders of the past dynasties, so that Li Ye could avoid these "pits" in future deductions.
Li Ye took note of it carefully and was moved in his heart and asked:
"Senior, you gave me the inheritance turtle shell. What about you, how will you deduce it in the future?"
Ming Lao smiled slightly and did not answer.
The old skinny donkey beside him had moist eyes, a sad expression, and shed a line of tears.
"Let's go, it's getting dark, come with me to visit the night market!" Ming Lao said, and Li Ye helped him get up.
The two left the East Palace and wandered around the streets and alleys.
Hua Qinhan carried the money bag, changed her clothes, and followed behind.
at this time.
The night is dark.
Qingtian City was brightly lit. Although it was raining, when the rain stopped, there were more people on the street.
Various vendors and pushcarts hawk their goods one after another.
Ming Lao wanted to eat hot and sour noodles, so Li Ye treated him to three large bowls.
Payment by flower celery.
Seeing that the tofu noodle was not bad, the two of them sat down and each ate ten bowls.
Flower celery checkout.
The aroma of rice rolls from Tianxing Alley spread everywhere. Ming Lao asked for another bowl, so Li Ye waved his hand and ordered eight bowls.
Hua Qinhan settled accounts and gave money.
Wandering around, I walked into Fireworks Alley, and the voices of charming women in the drunken red building kept coming and going.
Heart-warming.
Ming Lao's eyes were shining and he couldn't walk without licking his lips.
Li Ye understood, and as the two distinguished guests upstairs shouted, they went to the private room and ordered number 258 and several other talented ladies.
Payment by flower celery.
And took the initiative to apply for a distinguished membership card for Li Ye.
When Li Ye helped Ming Lao out, she quietly stuffed the card into Li Ye's pocket.
Ming Lao looked at her with a smile and nodded, praising her for being such a rare and good wife, and once again told Li Ye to treat her well in the future.
There are not many women like this anymore.
Li Ye nodded when he heard this and glanced at Hua Qinhan who was walking behind him. She hurriedly smiled and pointed to another dark alley next to her, saying that there was an "aunt" standing on the street there. It was very fun. Do you want to try it?
Li Ye asked Ming Lao, but Ming Lao said it was a lie and boring.
The three of them traveled forward.
Looking at the surging flow of people on the streets, there are also the flying fish guards on patrol, the yamen agents on errands, and the guards standing guard on the streets. They are all monsters in human skin.
Ming Lao asked Li Ye about his views on the future development of Qingtian City.
Li Ye told him his thoughts.
Ming Lao added a few words after listening, and finally explained: "We must put people first, grasp both blood and human hearts, adhere to the idea of captivity, and beware of sugar-coated bullets and internal corrosion."
"Blood food is the core, but the stability of people's hearts is the foundation. We must walk on two legs. We cannot ask for unlimited blood food but do not allow blood food to develop. This will not work."
"It is absolutely impossible to exhaust the lake to catch fish. What we want is long-term and stable development, and finally achieve the goal of enslaving the world and the entire continent."
Having said this, he looked towards the west, his eyes sparkling, and said:
"I heard that there is a western continent on the opposite side of the endless forest, where humans are more prosperous and powerful. If one day, you can cross the endless forest, fight through the night, and enter that continent, I believe that you will become stronger .”
"The blood food there is the real delicacy!"
Ming Lao sighs with emotion and hopes.
Li Ye supported him and said with a smile: "Senior, don't worry, one day, I will enter the western continent and offer you the most delicious blood food to taste."
Ming Lao laughed, but his eyes became dim and desolate for a while.
After visiting for a while, the three of them returned to the East Palace Garden.
Ming Laoping retreated from Hua Qinhan who was about to rub his shoulders, leaving only Li Ye behind. He closed the door, locked the windows, and set up a shielding formation.
He looked at Li Ye and said seriously: "My child, the last and most important inheritance of Tianshu Shu, I will give it to you now!"
Li Ye was curious.
Are there any other inheritances of Tianshu Shu?
Ming Lao did not explain and asked Li Ye to sit cross-legged face to face with him.
He shouted loudly, muttering mysterious and obscure formulas, and a turtle shell phantom flew out of his body, flowing with a terrifying and mysterious aura.
In a flash, it fell into Li Ye's body.
All of a sudden.
Li Ye felt that Tianshu Shu was in perfect harmony.
It seems to have a soul.
He had a clearer understanding of the arithmetic of heaven, and his deduction skills quietly improved.
Somewhere.
Li Ye felt that at this moment, he had mastered the arithmetic of heaven.
In the bracelet, the inherited turtle shell given to him by Ming Lao shone with divine light, marking Li Ye's mark.
Li Ye seriously understood this change and immersed himself in it.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally opened his eyes and looked forward, but he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
I saw that Ming Lao, who was still energetic before, was now white-haired, haggard, lifeless, and looked like his life span had been exhausted.
"Ming Lao, how could this happen?"
Li Ye was shocked and wanted to help him check his physical condition.
Ming Lao shook his head, with a kind smile in his cloudy old eyes. He looked at Li Ye and said weakly: "This is the fate of the destiny master!"
"After each generation of Minglao preaches, teaches and resolves doubts, he will pass on the final inheritance to the next generation of Minglao."
"This inheritance is the mark of life."
"As an old man of this generation, I am very happy that my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled today. Don't be sad. You should be happy for me."
Li Ye was puzzled and said, "Do I have to die?"
Ming Lao sighed and asked Li Ye to touch his heart.
Li Ye stretched out his hand and was shocked.
Ming Lao's heart, including other organs, turned out to be empty.
"how so?"
Li Ye is horrified.
Ming Lao sighed and said: "This is the price of having too many divination secrets. Every generation of divination masters will not die well. I died many years ago. It is the inheritance mark that keeps me alive until now, but it has come to an end."
"Thank you for finding you. Otherwise, today's arithmetic would really be lost. Alas!"
Li Ye felt dizzy after hearing this.
It felt like I had fallen into a pit.
Seeing this, Ming Lao wanted to laugh, but suddenly he coughed violently and said weakly:
"You don't have to worry. I have paid the price for you. After my death, I will not be reincarnated. My soul will fall into endless hell forever. Your predictions will not be harmed in any way."
Li Ye's eyes widened when he heard this, his throat was choked and his eyes were red.
He lowered his head and shed tears. When he looked up again, the tears had evaporated. He choked and asked, "Senior, why are you so kind to this junior?"
"We are neither relatives nor friends. We have only known each other for more than a month."
Ming Lao smiled, glanced at the portrait of Hua Qinhan on the wall of the room, a look of reluctance flashed through his eyes, and sighed: "You will know in the future..."
"Okay, let me ask you one last question." Ming Lao looked at Li Ye.
"Senior, please tell me."
"Tell me, child, are you human or a monster?"
Ming Lao's eyes glowed and he stared at Li Ye.
Li Ye met his eyes and said seriously: "I am a monster, a black-haired monster!"
Ming Lao heard this and smiled, as if he understood something, and suddenly shouted: "Well said——!"
His head tilted and his body fell softly into Li Ye's arms.
Completely dead.
No breath at all.
Li Ye felt sad in his heart. He held Ming Lao's body and weighed it lightly. The internal organs had long since disappeared, leaving only a flesh and blood skeleton. Now, it has completely lost its vitality.
"Ang ang ang!"
Outside the room, a sad donkey brayed, but the sound quickly weakened.
Li Ye pushed the door open and walked out.
I found an old, thin donkey and two bald men lying motionless on the steps outside the door.
After sniffing for breath, I saw that it was actually dead.
In the distance, under the light of the corridor.
A beautiful figure with a ball head in a green shirt stands tall.
Under dim light.
There were two lines of clear tears on her face, sad and lonely.
Li Ye looked at her, counted with his fingers, and understood everything immediately.
Take a few steps quickly and hug her into your arms.
"Don't worry, I will be good to you in the future!"
The voice wasn't very loud, but it was as firm as iron.
Qianying’s delicate body trembled.
Her white jade hands wrapped around Li Ye's strong waist and hugged her. He leaned his head on Li Ye's chest and sobbed softly, unable to calm down for a long time.
night.
The darkness fades and dawn arrives.
In Qingtian City, the whole city is plain, and the suona plays mournful music. Li Ye mourns the deceased, and personally sends the old man to his grave to rest in peace. He carries out the disciple's ceremony and wears sackcloth and mourning for the old man.
Deep in the Shiwan Mountain, countless ferocious monsters took the form of humans and came to bid farewell to Ming Lao.
this day.
The cry shook the mountains.
The death of Ming Lao represents the fall of a highly respected and powerful patron in the world of monsters.
From then on, there was no one to protect them and predict the secrets.
"No, we still have the next generation!"
"He is Beidi, Li Ye!"
Someone suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound spread throughout the city.
Everyone looked around and found that it was actually the West Demon, the Sky-Swallowing Giant Deer, the Lord of the West Palace, that burly bald man.
With a sad look in his eyes, but with excitement and excitement, he walked from the street, looked at Li Ye, walked a few steps quickly, suddenly knelt down and saluted:
"Please invite the new generation to name the elder, Northern Emperor Li Ye, as King Qingtian!"
The Lord of the East Palace, the East Emperor, Hua Qinhan also knelt down and bowed to Li Ye, saying loudly: "Please invite the Northern Emperor Li Ye to be the King of Qingtian!"
Upon seeing this, the human-skinned monsters in Qingtian City looked at each other, knelt down and cheered loudly:
"King Qingtian, King Qingtian, King Qingtian!"
The human people in the city followed suit and shouted.
The sound vibrated in all directions and soared into the sky.
King Qingtian rules the entire Qingtian City.
Li Ye's heart was surging. Under the attention of everyone, he put on the royal robe prepared by Hua Qinhan, climbed up the ninety-nine steps of the king step by step, and sat on the purple gold throne.
His eyes opened and closed, twinkling with lightning and divine light. He was extremely majestic, and when his body moved, it caused the sky to sway.
Just about to speak,
Outside Qingtian City.
But suddenly there was an excited and arrogant laugh...
"Hahaha, is this the blood-eating city left to us by our ancestors?"
"God, Moon God, we are finally here!"
"Brave knights, charge into the city and plunder your blood and food! Roar—!"
