My Transformed System is Toxic

Chapter 158 Martial Arts
Samsara's tone was very affirmative, with the strength of the person in front of him, if he really had any unscrupulous intentions towards Shi Lan, he could capture Shi Lan silently without showing the slightest trace by raising his hand.

Moreover, this kind of pretending to be an expert outside the world, under the guise of chance encounters, and recruiting genius disciples is a common method used by those top powerhouses.

This can attribute the act of recruiting disciples to the word 'Yuan', which can not only recruit disciples, but also maintain their so-called airs as top powerhouses, killing two birds with one stone.

This is all the experience that reincarnation has gained from the experience of several past hosts.

The old man in front of him, with his suspected 'pretend-beep-', is almost about to print the four characters of 'worldly expert' on his face.

After hearing this, Shi Lan turned around and took a step without hesitation.

No matter where the old man is from or what he is going to do, Shi Lan doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

She has no lack of skills, and foreign objects such as magic weapons and magical weapons will eventually be available in the future. In terms of background, she also has reincarnation as a support behind her, so she is safe for the time being, so don't worry about it.

With these external conditions, Shi Lan has no reason to deal with a terrifying strong man above the third level of the Heaven-Human Realm. She has too many secrets, and having an intersection with such a strong man will only bring trouble.

The old man who was fishing by the river frowned imperceptibly, and then slowly let go.

Yes, a calm mind is a material that can be made.

Shi Lan had just taken two steps before stopping.

The old man reappeared in front of her eyes, and the distance was even closer.

A martial artist in the Vientiane Realm can touch the power of space, the power of the Heaven-Human Realm, and changing her direction is an easy thing to do.

Obviously, the old man had no intention of letting her go.

"Senior, can you let this junior go?" Unable to get away, Shi Lan simply stepped forward to say hello and said bluntly.

"Girl, the old man wants to ask you a question." The old man said slowly.

"Can I not ask?" Shi Lan hesitated and asked.

The old man's face froze for a moment, then he regained his composure instantly, and said, "No."

"Then can I not answer?"

After being silent for a while, Shi Lan said again.

"Neither."

"Excuse me, senior." Shi Lan lowered her eyes and gave up struggling.

"What do you think martial arts are?" the old man stared at the empty hook, and said meaningfully.

"Budao is what allows you to act—beep—in front of me right now. '

Shi Lan murmured a sentence in his heart, and cupped his hands without moving his face, and said, "This junior's strength is still weak, so please ask senior to clarify."

"Wu is Wu, and Dao is Dao. People in the world always confuse the two."

The old man flicked the fishing rod lightly, the hook broke through the water surface, and caught a large fish nearly a foot long.

The corners of Shi Lan's eyes twitched. She could see clearly that the hook disappeared in an instant, and then suddenly appeared in the mouth of this big fish.

Holding the big fish in his palm, the old man took off the hook and released it.

"What did you just see?"

The old man threw the hook back into the water and narrowed his eyes again.

"Senior, is this the second question?" Shi Lan asked with some doubts.

The old man coughed, "That's right."

"You just caught a fish."

As Shi Lan spoke, she couldn't help slandering: "If you have something to say, you can't say it directly, you have to make these twists and turns." '

"The life and death of this fish is in the palm of my hand, and the life and death of the creatures in the whole river are also in the palm of my hand. This is Wu. As for the Tao...you can't understand it now."

The old man put down the fishing rod in his hand, and said softly: "Martial arts can control the life and death of others, but Tao determines the limit of your martial arts, and determines what kind of life and death you can control."

"You are young, you have entered the Earth Sha, your martial arts are enough to allow you to decide the life and death of [-]% of the living beings in the Tianyu, but your Dao has just started."

"Wu often has different meanings. It's like when the demon suppressing army resists the demon clan, Wu is the guardian, but in the hands of some crazy people, Wu is a butcher's knife."

"If you look at the entire vast land of China, martial arts represent power, status, and everything that is fundamental to achieving one's own wishes. Therefore, most people in the world only practice martial arts and do not seek the way. Small things lose big things."

"However, the word martial arts, from ancient times to the present, has always represented fighting. Every martial skill is created, no matter what the reason is, its fundamental purpose is to defeat or even kill the opponent..."

Shi Lan silently listened to the old man's narration, and if she realized something in her heart, she couldn't help being a little surprised that the old man seemed to be really explaining martial arts to her.

"I know it's hard for you to understand at the moment, but it's because you have a predestined relationship with my old man. You can come here again tomorrow. At that time, I will slowly clear up your doubts with you. Go ahead."

Halfway through the conversation, the old man suddenly stopped talking, waved his hand, picked up the empty fish basket, and disappeared in place in an instant.

Just as Shi Lan entered the state, the old man stopped talking, which made her feel a pity, she had already whetted her appetite.

……

After returning to the camp to practice for a day, at the same time the next day, Shi Lan came to the small river again, and the old man was still fishing by the river.

From reincarnation, Shi Lan learned that the old man was already here before dawn.

Seeing Shi Lan coming, the old man nodded and smiled, and continued to explain the martial arts he understood to Shi Lan.

Shi Lan listened very carefully, she could feel that what the old man said was valuable experience.

At sunset, the old man ended his teaching.

"Thank you for your teaching, Senior." Shi Lan cupped his hands and saluted.

During this day, Shi Lan also asked the old man's name, but was perfunctory. After two or three times, Shi Lan didn't ask again.

The old man nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Tomorrow, the old man will not come again."

"When will the senior come again?" Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, but she understood in her heart that she was finally getting to the point.

"I won't come again." The old man shook his head slightly.

"Where are you going, senior?"

"Where to go is uncertain." The old man looked at Shi Lan with a trace of expectation in his eyes.

"The younger generation will send the senior off respectfully, and the senior will have a smooth journey."

Shi Lan saluted again.

There was a flash of surprise in the old man's eyes, and he couldn't help but said: "This old man, you and I may not see each other again."

"Senior, please wait a moment." Shi Lan suddenly realized, turned around and ran towards the camp.

The old man raised his hand to brush off the dust that didn't exist on his body, retracted the consciousness surrounding Shi Lan, and smiled with satisfaction, his obvious hint was not in vain.

Shi Lan quickly turned back, holding a big banner with gold letters on a black background, and handed it to the old man.

"A small commander under the command of the Yao army in Xiazhen, who has no family background, can only present this military flag as a gift. I hope the seniors will not dislike it, and I have the right to keep it as a souvenir."

The old man's eyes widened. He originally thought that Shi Lan was going back to prepare for the apprentice ceremony or something, but he never expected that Shi Lan would prepare such a 'special' gift for him.
