In the evening, Ding Diandian held up his chin and stared at the disgraced Chen Mobai for a long time, then said slowly: "Aren't you tired? You just finished a fierce fight, and you went to ask for a beating from Brother Murong."
"I need to gain experience against each other."
"I've been fighting a lot of people along the way."
"It's different. Many of those bandit bullies are people who don't know martial arts or have mediocre martial arts. It's hard to see the problem clearly from them. It wasn't until I fought against Lu Sanzhi that I realized that my biggest shortcoming was not my martial arts. It’s not about your level, it’s about your lack of experience. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to fight back against Lu Sanzi.”
"Mo Bai is right. I didn't realize this before. I have been practicing martial arts in the Star Sword Sect since I was a child. I often competed with my brothers and followed my seniors down the mountain to practice, so I ignored Mo Bai's lack of these experiences."
Chen Mobai knew that he had just made a move. Although he told Murong Tianji not to hold back, the other party's character would definitely not use his full strength, so he asked the other party how much force he used.
"About sixty percent."
"Brother Murong, I want to spar with you again after dinner."
"good."
Murong Tianji agreed immediately.
"Still fighting? Aren't you tired?"
"Although I'm not a famous teacher, and I can't give any advice on Mo Bai's martial arts, I can help him gain some fighting experience."
Ding Diandian rolled his eyes and went back to his room to rest after dinner.
The three people who planned to set off the next day stayed at the inn for another night because Chen Mobai took Murong Tianji to practice. During this period, the two of them kept fighting each other, and Murong Tianji also went from using six points of strength to the point where he needed to use eight points of strength.
"Mo Bai, these two days have really shocked Brother Yu. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it without using my full strength."
"I would also like to thank Brother Murong for his generous teachings."
"I don't want to take this advice seriously. It's just that the degree of your true energy released has exceeded the strength of Qiyou, but you still can't feel any affinity. It's really rare."
Chen Mobai didn't care about this and said: "Thanks to Brother Murong these two days, I have learned a lot. I hope you can use your full strength for the last time."
"Okay, come on."
Ding Diandian ran to the roof of the inn at some point and looked at the two of them boredly. I was still feeling bored, but suddenly I saw Chen Mobai disappearing from the same place. When he saw clearly again, he was already behind Murong Tianji, and Ding Diandian suddenly became more energetic. After the iron rod collided with the long sword, Chen Mobai's figure magically flashed past and appeared on the other side of Murong Tianji.
Originally, he wanted to see Chen Mobai being repaired, and then deliberately angered him for not overestimating his abilities, but the scene in front of him was beyond Ding Dian's understanding of him.
At this time, Murong Tianji's movement was also very different from before. His body shape changed rapidly in a small space. While avoiding Chen Mobai's attack, he made moves. The movements of the two almost made Dingdian's eyes follow him. Not on.
"It's strange. Brother Murong is a master in the realm of life and appearance. It doesn't matter if I can't see clearly. Why can't I even see the stingy guy clearly?"
When I was confused, I vaguely saw a dozen or so flickering light spots in the midair, which looked like starlight, but they were not hanging high in the sky. Suddenly, the starlight turned into hot sword energy and fell violently.
Chen Mobai was in the center of the starlight, knowing that he could not escape. He raised the iron rod and struck hard in the air, forcefully deflecting the sword energy that hit him.
"You can defeat ten levels with one effort." Murong Tianji couldn't help but praise.
"I am coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mobai appeared behind Murong Tianji. The iron rod was like a dancing black dragon, and he pounced on the opponent with open teeth and claws. The fluctuations of zhenqi made a buzzing sound, like the low moan of a black dragon.
This made Murong Tianji feel an unprecedented sense of oppression in the past two days. He immediately mobilized all his true energy to converge on the sword. The light red true energy was visible to the naked eye, and the long sword stabbed through the night sky like a shooting star.
The collision between the two cars produced a powerful aftermath, and the air waves rolled up almost caused the car to fall off the eaves.
After regaining his balance, he looked at the two men again. Flying ashes were flying everywhere, and he could only vaguely see the movement of the figures among them, as well as the crisp sound of the collision of weapons.
After about half a stick of incense, it finally became quiet.
When the dust and smoke cleared, they could see that the iron rod and the tip of the sword were firmly pressed against each other, and they were still trembling slightly. This was the infuriating energy of the two fighting each other through the swords.
Just when there was a stalemate, the light red color on the long sword gradually became heavier, until suddenly a tongue of fire spurted out.
This change caught Chen Mobai unexpectedly. Subconsciously, there was a faint flash of white light, and tongues of fire exploded in the air and scattered around.
Murong Tianji quickly sheathed her sword and was a little surprised when she saw Chen Mobai's fist.
"Brother Murong! Was it just now?"
Murong Tianji was also pleasantly surprised, and then said: "We haven't reached it yet, but it's not far away. I didn't expect that this fight with you not only made me use all my strength at the last moment, but also made myself reach a higher level, and I have already touched it. The transformed gate."
"Transformation?"
"When the true energy can transform, it has entered the realm of transformation." Ding Diandian ran over and explained.
"That's true, but the flame just now doesn't mean that I have transformed, because I can't control it freely yet."
"That's not far away. Brother Murong, you are so powerful. You are going to become a master of transformation at such a young age."
Murong Tianji smiled and said: "How can it be so easy? It can take as little as three to five years or as many as ten years to understand the essence of the true energy that has been unintentionally transformed into a shape. Even if you are extremely talented, it takes two years. Three years of enlightenment and practice.”
"No matter what, we are always one step closer. First of all, congratulations to Brother Murong." Chen Mobai said.
"Don't talk about me first, Mo Bai, what is your martial arts... that's all. I don't ask that much, but your potential really opened my eyes. Are you hiding your clumsiness?"
Chen Mobai smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Murong is joking, but I am also a little strange. I seem to respond instinctively to Brother Murong's moves. It seems...it seems a bit familiar."
Murong Tianji was shocked and said: "This is even more strange. Could it be that the martial arts you practice are specifically aimed at the Star Reaching Sword Technique? As far as I know, there is no such kind of martial arts in the world."
"I am not sure as well."
"Mo Bai, the more I get along with you, the more mysterious you become."
Chen Mobai just smiled and said nothing.
After one night, the three of them set off again.
Just half a day after the three people left the inn, a group of people came to the inn. The first person entered the inn and took out a portrait and asked if he had seen this person. The waiter saw that the person in the painting was very similar to Murong Tianji, so he said that the three of them had just left not long ago. The man smiled after hearing this. .
"Three people, two men and one woman, northwest." The man walked out of the inn and said to the others.
"There are two more people? Who are they?"
"I don't know, whoever stops him will die."
Besides, Chen Mobai and the other two passed by an ancient city called Long'an on the way. Although it was an ancient city, it was well-preserved. It is now one of the famous big cities in northern Sichuan. The city wall made of huge stones has withstood the wind and rain, but it is still majestic. Although the city has been baptized by the years, the ancient things are well maintained. Coupled with the thousands of years of historical heritage, the ancient city of Long An attracts tourists from all over the world.
"Finally arrived in Long'an."
"Brother Murong, I didn't expect you to be quite familiar with Northern Sichuan."
"I came here once with my master when I was young, but I was too young at that time, so I didn't understand many things. Now I can only think of some things based on my memory."
Ding Diandian glanced at Murong Tianji's expression and asked with a smile: "Huh? Brother Murong, what did you think of that makes you so happy? Is there a story here?"
"You girl, you are really a brat. Yes, you have some memories. It was in Long'an that my junior sister and I met, and that's why we became senior brothers and sisters."
"Hey~ Brother Murong, is the junior sister you are talking about Jiang Tianxuan, who is also one of the Seven Heroes of Yushan? Is it possible that you like her?"
"Little one, don't talk nonsense." Chen Mobai interrupted.
Murong Tianji smiled generously and said: "It doesn't matter, this is not an ulterior secret. I do fall in love with Junior Sister, but Junior Sister Tianxuan is very good, and I am not the only one who likes her."
"Tch, if you ask me, they are definitely not as good as you, so Brother Murong, you have to work hard!"
"Thank you little girl, I will definitely work hard."
When the three of them entered Long'an City, they saw a completely different scene compared to Wangjiang City. Chen Mobai originally thought that Wangjiang City looked like a big town, but compared with this place, it pales in comparison.
"Take a look, take a look! The fresh fruit is juicy, sweet and delicious~"
"Excellent beef and mutton..."
All kinds of hawking also attracted Dingdian's attention.
"Are these guests here for fun? Do you want to stay in a hotel?" The inn facing the street would come up to solicit business whenever a stranger walked by.
"Mo Bai, Diandian, I think we should find an inn to eat something first and settle down."
"Okay, okay~ I've been hungry for a long time~"
While we were eating, the noise in the inn gradually grew louder. It turned out that the waiter and an old man were arguing.
"I said you are such a shameless old man. You are so confident that you can eat for free without paying for food."
The old man looked calm, pinched his beard and said: "You are such a ungrateful kid. Old man, if I block the trouble for your store, isn't it worth a meal?"
The waiter in the shop made the atmosphere even more exciting. He raised the tone a few times and said, "Bah, bah, bah! This misfortune comes for no reason. It's really bad luck! I won't be polite if you don't leave!"
"The food is not finished yet, why are you leaving?"
"Hey! You old thing!"
Seeing that the waiter was about to take action.
"Second brother, don't be too hasty. I paid for this old gentleman's meal." Chen Mobai took out the money from his pocket and handed it to him, then asked the old man: "Old man, why are you freeloading and saying you can?" Is there any trouble?"
The old man slowly took a mouthful of vegetables and put it in his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he took a sip of wine and then said slowly: "Hehehehe, there have been many people coming to Long'an City in recent days. This wine mixed with water, the locals People are used to it, and it’s okay to trick ordinary customers, but if you encounter someone who is not easy to mess with, you think it’s a disaster. I told the waiter that if he sees a customer with a fierce look on his face, he must not trick them. Water and wine to avoid trouble, does this count as avoiding trouble for them?”
Ding Diandian said to Murong Tianji from the side: "This old man is really good at talking nonsense. Only a stingy person would be stupid enough to pay him for his meal."
Murong Tianji said: "Otherwise, this wine is indeed mixed with water. Although it is not obvious, there is still a difference. Many shops use this method to make profits. It is common. But what the old man said is not wrong, it's just How can you say that you will encounter this kind of thing whenever you encounter it?"
While he was talking, five or six big men holding strange weapons entered the store.
"Boy! Bring some good wine and fresh venison!"
"Just a moment, you guys, we'll be here soon~"
Soon, the food and wine were served, and the big men just took a sip and cursed: "Young man! Get the fuck over here!"
The waiter came over in a hurry, bowed his waist and asked, "What orders do you have for our guests?"
"I told you to grandma! Are you fooling me with wine mixed with water?" One of the big men stood up and kicked the waiter to the ground.
The waiter in the shop was also panicked. He looked at the old man from the corner of his eye and complained in his heart that this old man had a crow's mouth, and he really didn't mean what he said.
The big man was still upset, so he grabbed the bowl on the table and threw it at the waiter's door. In the midst of lightning and flint, there was an imperceptible soft sound, and the bowl that was supposed to hit the waiter in the face was bounced aside.
"What's going on!" the big man said in surprise.
Murong Tianji's eyes lit up and he said quietly: "That old man is not simple."
"Brother Murong, what did you say?"
Before Ding Diandian could react, several big men had already stood up, picked up the guy and walked towards the waiter.
At this time, Chen Mobai quickly came to the waiter and said: "Everyone, if you have something to say, even if the store's wine is mixed with water, you have already taught this guy a lesson. Just ask the store to refill the wine without water. Please Please show mercy."
"Did you do anything just now?" One of the big men asked, staring at Chen Mobai.
"I?"
"Stop talking nonsense to him!"
Those few people didn't bother to talk nonsense and started taking action directly. Chen Mobai hurriedly retreated, grabbing the waiter and pulling him back to avoid the opponent's weapon.
"Old sir, please hide aside quickly."
Chen Mobai was afraid of accidentally injuring the old man, so he quickly reminded him.
The big men didn't give up, they raised their weapons and started to chop. Chen Mobai didn't want to engage in such a meaningless fight, so he just dodged, but the other party ignored him and almost accidentally injured the old man several times.
And the old man always had a calm look on his face, either lowering his head to pick up the food or yawning in the middle, always seemingly dodging the opponent's attacks by chance.
Chen Mobai wanted to stay away from the old man, but was surrounded by several people from the other party.
"If the old man remains indifferent, I won't care about you anymore!"
Seeing the old man's behavior, Chen Mobai also knew that the old man was not an ordinary person, and his words fell on deaf ears, and the old man remained unmoved.
"Brother Murong, aren't we going to help?" Ding Diandian asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, Mo Bai just doesn't want to take action. These barbarians can't hurt him yet. I'm curious about what the old gentleman will do next."
It wasn't until the old man finished his meal, stretched out and stood up in a hurry. When he walked through the big men and came to the door of the store, everyone realized that the old man's body skills were so exquisite.
The old man stopped, grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the side, flicked them, and knocked the weapons out of the hands of several big men, and then said slowly: "Little baby, this is a thank you for your meal money, and... I won't offend anyone who doesn't offend me. If someone else's offense is fatal, why should you just tolerate it?"
After speaking, the old man's figure disappeared from sight in an instant.
The big men looked at Chen Mobai again, with an iron rod in their hands, and their expressions were completely different from before. This change and the old man just now made them wary. They hurriedly picked up the knocked down weapons, carefully distanced themselves and retreated to the door of the store.
"I'll let you go this time, let's go!"
After saying these words, several people turned around and ran away.
Seeing that the person was gone, Chen Mobai put away the iron rod, helped the waiter who was still lying on the ground, and comforted: "My grandfather told me before that if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot. Please don't say bad words to the old man again in the future." Don’t fool your guests with wine mixed with water anymore.”
The waiter was still shocked and nodded blankly.
