Sun Zikai became a god in one battle, and his name even spread throughout the fourteen cities in the pass. The women returned to the back of the pass. The hustle and bustle of a few days was over, and the days had to continue. The gatekeepers of "Ansheng Pass" still got on their horses and raised the He got a sword and went out to kill the barbarians. But in the days to come, Sun Zikai not only got the opportunity to leave the barrier, but also got his own horse.
The gatekeeper had a second team leader outside the gate. Many times, Lao Zhang and Lao Yang did not speak, listening to Sun Zikai arranging actions. It is also this kid who is very thoughtful and never makes any mistakes every time he travels. Even if he encounters barbarians, he not only escapes unscathed, but also often gains a lot.
After a year of this, the eight-year-old Sun Zikai finally got higher than the horse's belly, and galloped across the horse with swords. In the second half of the year, barbarians were rampant outside the pass, and the scope of action of the gatekeepers was reduced to within ten miles. It is said that this is the best time. The decision was to retreat to the pass and not come out, but Sun Zikai acted alone and turned the gatekeeper into a knife and penetrated the barbarian tribe. He understood the temperament of the barbarians. They all existed as tribes and had no cohesion at all. Going outside the customs is all for the sake of the interests within the customs. Interests can gather people's hearts, but they can also cause disputes.
Setting fires in this barbarian tribe and killing people in that barbarian tribe, who would have thought that the gatekeepers could rush here? Therefore, the conflicts among the barbarians became deeper and deeper. When they accumulated to a certain number, the fighting among the tribes began. For the gatekeepers, the more barbarians die, the better. If the barbarians discover their traces, they will never fight hard or let go and run away. They will run for a while and then get behind the barbarians to catch them off guard. The barbarians will chase them back. , and fled to various places, shooting cold arrows from time to time, and robbed the barbarians of food, drink, and food wherever they went.
The barbarians made this team of gatekeepers very angry and could not live in peace. The thing that the gatekeepers later talked about the most was that at this time, the barbarians put aside their disputes and gathered into a large tribe, vowing to destroy the gatekeepers. , Sun Zikai asked everyone to hide the horses, mix into barbarians, and join the large barbarian tribe. The barbarians were a mixed bag, so it would be good to have a common goal, and they went to "Ansheng Pass" with great momentum to kill, and the gatekeeper was However, the team members took the opportunity to lag behind, and the rear family was small who specialized in killing barbarians.
Not all of them were killed. Those who specifically killed a tribe were not killed completely. Half were killed and half were left, and then set on fire. When the men saw the fire in the rear, they all retreated. As a result, they found that one of the tribe's family members was slaughtered and was still alive. The women cried and told the tribal men that a group of barbarians rushed in and killed them.
The hatred among the barbarian tribes was ignited again, and before the troops were launched, the internal fighting started again, and the fighting was fierce. The gatekeepers were mixed in, everyone helped, but everyone was killed. If any tribe was tired of fighting, they would rush in. Kill the little ones in the past and blow off your anger again. In the most chaotic moment, the hidden horses were found, and the gatekeeper retreated and walked away.
On the way back, everyone was in high spirits and counted the number of barbarians they killed. Sun Zikai was not very happy. He seemed to be thinking about something all the way. Lao Yang patted him on the shoulder and asked him what he was hesitating about. Sun Zikai replied: "Barbarians." Fighting between people is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. Sooner or later, a barbarian will appear and rule all the barbarian tribes with force. Once the barbarians gather their strength together, 'Ansheng Pass' cannot be defended."
Lao Zhang wondered where Sun Zikai got these ideas and why he knew so much. Sun Zikai smiled and replied: "My father took me to grow food before, but we were deceived by the landlord who sold the land. Then The land was full of wild rabbits, and there was more than one nest. No farmer dared to plant that kind of food, but we didn’t know it, so we planted it. At first, rabbits were rampant, and they gnawed whatever we planted. Later, the food became less, and among the rabbits They started fighting over time, one nest after another. I thought the rabbits would continue fighting like this. But after dozens of days, I looked again and found that all the food had been eaten up, and the rabbits in that area had a leader. , all the little rabbits in the other litters will be bitten to death, and the leader rabbit will give birth to his own offspring in each litter. From now on, no matter what you plant, they will be able to eat cleanly, and there will not be any fights. "
Liu Zi said: "Even if the barbarians are like rabbits, looking at the current situation, they will not immediately gather into a nest."
"We will meet sooner or later," Sun Zikai said, "We have to find a way to get them to gather into two piles, no, three piles. As long as there are three piles, we will be safe."
At this time, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the sky. The gatekeepers looked up and saw a person flying out from the direction of the gate. The man was flying with a weapon, surrounded by tangible Qi. He was flying very fast, leaving the ground. About a few hundred feet away, Xu saw the horse team and the man fell down.
Lao Zhang said: "It's those people from the sect. Why do they come to us?"
Sun Zikai immediately realized something was wrong and whispered to everyone: "Don't say that you are gatekeepers, we are wearing barbarian clothes now!"
Then, the capable man landed in front of the cavalry team with an extremely arrogant attitude. He looked at the broken-arm old Yang and said, "Where did you get the horse?"
Sun Zikai immediately said: "Sir, we are from the west. Our clan raises horses and we want to rush into the pass to grab some things for the winter."
"Humph..." The man looked at him coldly, "Want to enter the customs?"
"Yes," Sun Zikai said with a flattering smile, then turned to Lao Yang and said, "Dad, is this man helping us enter the customs?"
Lao Yang had no idea what this kid was going to do. He could only nodded dully and shook his head. The man seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of the team. He looked like a low-minded and reliable person, which was in line with his perception of barbarians. Know.
Then, the cultivator said: "I will show you a way to bypass the 'Ansheng Pass'. There is a city there with enough wine and meat. If you go there, just rob, just kill, and run away when you get an advantage. How about that?"
Sun Zikai let out a long oh, pretending to be surprised and said: "You are the god-man in our clan who helps us survive the winter. God-man, please help us directly push the 'Ansheng Pass', okay? We will do it in the future." I can keep rushing in to grab meat!”
"Hey, little piggy." The practitioner looked at him with disdain, "It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. I'll give you three breaths to think about it, or I'll find other barbarians."
The gatekeepers are all gnashing their teeth. Until now, no one understands what this guy wants to do. Those sects are short of things again. When the barbarians enter the city to kill people and are unable to control it, it is the time for them to come down to search openly. But no one dared to reveal their identity. This guy who escaped from heaven and earth might kill them all in order to keep his mouth shut.
Lao Yang suppressed his anger and said with an apologetic smile: "Sir, let's go to Ansheng Pass and give it a try. People from our tribe were massacred by the people who guarded the pass. This time we picked all the strong men in the tribe. The horses, armed with the sharpest knives, are here to take revenge.”
The cultivator spat impatiently and cursed: "Pig." Then he flew into the sky and flew in the direction of the barbarians. The gatekeepers cursed, but even if they cursed his ancestors for eight generations, it didn't help. , guarding the gate for generations, guarding the gate with their lives, these man-eating sects make their sacrifices meaningless.
Sun Zikai had never had a good impression of the sect, but now it turned into resentment. But not long after, another person flew out from the direction of the pass. This person was also walking with a weapon. He also saw the team and landed.
This man was relatively young, only over thirty. He was holding a green-edged sword, pointing at everyone and shouting: "What are you doing here!"
Sun Zikai was good at observing words and expressions, and immediately said: "We are the guards of Ansheng Pass, and we have just returned from killing the barbarians."
"How to prove it!"
The gatekeeper immediately took off his disguise, and Lao Yang took out the gatekeeper's belt. The man's face immediately relaxed a lot and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Sun Zikai immediately pointed to the back and said, "There was a man flying in the sky just now, who seemed to be helping the barbarians enter the border."
When the man heard this, his face immediately showed anger, and he said angrily: "I know, I came out just to stop him."
"Are you going to kill him?" Sun Zikai asked.
The man was startled and replied: "No."
"Then can you teach me how to kill him?"
The man looked at Sun Zikai blankly, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Sun Zikai asked again: "Sir, look at me, can I practice?"
Sun Zikai took off his shirt, and all his muscles were on the body of an eight-year-old child, which made the man feel very awkward. The man refused: "Practice depends on your understanding, not your physical strength. My son, you should go back to the city to live your life."
People from the sect really don't care about the affairs of the people in the city. As long as they come down and take a look around, they will definitely recognize who the child in front of them is.
Sun Zikai was very puzzled and said: "Sir, isn't the purpose of practicing cultivation just to become stronger? You can do anything in heaven or on earth. If that's the case, why don't you cultivate yourself?"
The man obviously didn't want to waste any more words with the child, so he just hesitated for a few words and then flew in the direction of the previous man. There was no battle between practitioners that everyone wanted to see. It was calm outside the pass, but the gatekeeper waited in fear for many days. , Fortunately, there was no news that a certain city in the pass was breached.
Sun Zikai has been sitting sadly on the wall these days. Old Yang walked to him with five-year-old Yang Youshi in his arms. Youshi shouted: "Brother Kai, why don't you teach me about medicinal herbs?"
Sun Zikai sat lonely on the ground, his eyes always staring outside the pass. Lao Yang saw his thoughts and asked Youshi to go back and play by himself. When he came to Sun Zikai, Lao Yang said: "People's cultivation methods are different, which is most suitable for you." The best is the best. When you kill enemies outside the pass, you can't do it without the strength of your hands. You must strengthen your body. But those people from the sect have their troubles elsewhere. They don't need bayonets to see red, and they don't know how to do it. We and they won't understand each other if they go into battle shirtless like us."
At this time, Lao Yang noticed that Sun Zikai had carved a picture on the stone next to him, which was a pair of wings. Before Lao Yang could speak, Sun Zikai said: "Lao Yang, we are here to stay, but we can never stand the human heart. , how can you be locked up in a cage?"
"If we can't hold on, we must hold on. The people in the pass, our relatives, want to live."
"But those people from the sect are also from Guan Nei. If they send someone here or teach us how to practice, wouldn't Guan Nei become more peaceful?" Sun Zikai was silent, but before Lao Yang could answer, he came up with an idea The answer, he suddenly said: "Oh - I understand, they can't do this, because when the person guarding the gate raises a tiger, the person attacking the gate will bring a group of jackals, and there will always be someone who wants the gate to open and close. , so the way of practice appears here, and the way of practice will also appear outside. If one day everyone who attacks the city can go to heaven and earth, then who will save the situation? Ah - in the end, we are still alive How can people lose their freedom in a cage?"
Lao Yang didn't expect the answer. He admired the child's thoughts that seemed to see through everything, and also realized that this small "safety barrier" could not contain the child's free heart.
Sun Zikai said: "Old Yang, I'm out of seclusion."
"It's not time to leave seclusion now."
"I'll get out on my own."
"No, please calm down. As people live for a long time, they will find that there are many things that cannot be controlled by ourselves. We often have no ability to change them and can only accept them forcefully."
Sun Zikai smiled and said: "Old Yang, I'm not giving up on myself and going to die. I thought of what you just said. What's best for you is the best. Yes, I'm guarding the door. I need a strong body and the ability to kill enemies. Skills, I will go out and practice hard. One day, maybe my bare-chested killing skills can also deal with those in heaven and earth."
As he spoke and touched the wings he carved on the side, Lao Yang asked, "What are these."
"Lao Yang, I don't believe that everything in the world is formed by a spiritual energy. Even if it is, is there no other possibility? When I picked up the knife..." He rolled up his sleeves, and the arm holding the knife was thick and powerful. Filled with and releasing strength, this is power, not spiritual energy. If my strength is so strong that I can break a door with one punch, how can it not be regarded as a kind of spiritual attainment?"
Lao Yang listened with great interest. Although he felt that what the child said was fantasy, it was also a beautiful fantasy. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to realize it yourself?"
"Yes, I also gave this strength in myself a name."
"Oh? What's the name?"
"Energy! The existence of all things in the world is inseparable from it. People have energy and strength to breathe and live. Pigs, dogs, ants...every move they make requires energy. People in the sect regard spiritual energy as As the source of the world, according to my opinion, energy is the basis of an 'object'. Just think of me as nonsense, but in fact, I really don't have the opportunity to come into contact with the way of cultivation. Therefore, I think Whatever comes out is the way to practice."
Lao Yang sighed and said, "It seems I can't stop you from leaving seclusion on your own. Will you come back?"
"Hey, I don't want to go out to live. I want to go out anytime and anywhere, and come back anytime and anywhere."
"So free?" Lao Yang said with a smile, "Child, you really make people feel special. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you are the wolf, invincible and fearless. Whoever wants to give If you put a rein around your neck, you are the purest fool, and you haven't told me what you are carving."
Sun Zikai looked into the distance and said: "I will practice according to my own ideas. If one day my practice has results, I will give myself a pair of wings, and the name will be - Wings of Freedom!"
