In the Blade

The only dead person finally appeared in the place of great danger, and that was Mr. Feng Shui himself who said that this was the place of great danger.

As for the cause of the Feng Shui master's death, Du Chengfeng checked several times and finally ruled out the suspicion of homicide - after all, no one came to the inn at night and no one entered the room, which meant that there could be no possibility of death. What external force is at work?

And when Du Chengfeng checked, he also discovered that this Feng Shui master had clearly scared him out of his wits.

"this……"

Du Chengfeng didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only discuss it with the young apprentice, find a place, and bury the Feng Shui master.

According to what the apprentice said, this Feng Shui master had always wanted to live in Sanshan Town. Although the person was gone now, the body was buried in Sanshan Town, so it could be considered as a final resting place.

The young apprentice's surname was Huang, and he called himself Da Xian. This was more of a nickname than a name - it was precisely because Huang Da Xian was an idle man with nothing to do that he learned the secrets of Feng Shui from the Feng Shui master. technique. But right now, I haven’t learned much about Feng Shui, and the master is gone. This is really...

"It would be good if you can learn a little bit about it. Feng Shui is all a lie anyway."

Du Chengfeng thought for a moment and comforted the crying young man.

"Why don't you start with interior decoration?"

"I... will inherit the master's legacy and learn everything he left behind."

The young Huang Daxian held the package left by Mr. Feng Shui. It was the last legacy left by Mr. Feng Shui. The books inside were summed up by the old Feng Shui master and were the lifelong secrets of that Feng Shui master.

Of course, because it is a unique skill, it must be kept secret. Just like what is written in this book, no one can understand it except the Feng Shui master himself.

"This...come on."

Du Chengfeng scratched his head and didn't know what to say. He could only encourage the boy to continue studying hard.

But studying hard is studying hard. If you really want to study, you have to have money. As the saying goes, food, clothing, housing and transportation, if this kid really wants to study, he must at least have a place to live - but the money originally left by the master and apprentice to buy a house , but all of it was used for Mr. Feng Shui’s funeral, which directly led to the fact that the money left in this kid’s hand was not enough to live out.

"Forget it, I'll charge you half of the rent for the time being, so you can live here first."

In the end, the old man in charge of the inn made the decision. After all, the late Feng Shui master was also an old man, and the two old men were almost the same age. Seeing his peers disappear so mysteriously, the old man felt a little sad.

It is precisely because of this that when the old man looks at Huang Daxian again, he treats him as his junior and takes care of him.

The half price is to make Huang Daxian's life easier, and the other half price is to prevent Huang Daxian from slacking off and at least maintaining his ability to be independent. In order to take care of this young junior, the old man took great pains.

As for Du Chengfeng...

He was still sitting in front of the Feng Shui master's grave.

"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense."

This time, it was Du Chengfeng's turn to start scratching his head. He never expected that this matter would end in this way - he had taken all precautions, but a dead person still appeared.

From this perspective, the old Feng Shui master's conclusion was indeed correct. At least to the old Feng Shui master, this inn was indeed a dangerous place, and it was indeed a place where people would die.

"this……"

With the facts before his eyes, Du Chengfeng could not say anything else.

What's more, he keenly sensed something more special from this matter.

This old Feng Shui master believed in his own Feng Shui skills and had no doubt about it. The purity of his will was enough to change reality - but the way he changed reality directly harmed the Feng Shui master. Death, no matter how you look at it, this is a bit outrageous.

"And it's too dangerous."

Du Chengfeng frowned slightly.

It was at this time that he realized that this further mental power was far more dangerous than the evil spirit.

If you don't get the evil spirit right, the evil spirit will enter your brain and turn into a madman who only knows how to kill, or simply turn into a monster. This is indeed very dangerous, but at least there are traces to follow. As long as If the will is strong enough, one can still resist the influence of evil spirits.

But this thing of mental strength...

It's too dangerous.

So what if the will is strong enough? The old Feng Shui master's trust in Feng Shui was almost crazy, but it was precisely because of this belief that it could change reality that the old Feng Shui master died a violent death.

And in the eyes of ordinary people, this old Feng Shui master was just frightened. If he didn't do a careful autopsy, it wouldn't be surprising to say that he died of his old age.

To put it simply, except for Du Chengfeng, who already knows something about mind power, almost no one knows the real cause of the old Feng Shui master's death. The old Feng Shui master's death was completely normal, just like a flower in the sea. Splash.

How many simple deaths like this would happen on a daily basis?

"Too much, too much."

Du Chengfeng looked at the grave in front of him, but in his mind he remembered the time when he fought against those masters.

This made him sweat for a while.

Indeed, those deaths can be considered normal. After all, in this world where ghosts have been seen, dead people are simply too normal - at least for Du Chengfeng before, everything was normal.

But now it seems that if you add your mental energy to it...

Isn't it really the desire of those masters to find a strong enemy that made them meet him?

The will of the masters is extremely firm, and the firm will can even affect reality, and the reality is that Du Chengfeng appeared in front of those masters and chopped off their heads with a knife.

"So... I am actually their retribution?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but slap his head.

The word retribution is not appropriate to use here, but it can indeed be understood in this way. The firm will of those masters who want to go further affects reality, and reality responds to these masters with Du Chengfeng - if you look at it this way, those masters The masters indeed have their dreams come true, although the results may not be the same as they thought.

But those results were what Du Chengfeng thought. After all, he didn't want to die in the battle for no reason. He was very serious in every fight, and he was serious about surviving even if he risked his life.

However, what really made Du Chengfeng sweat was not the thoughts of these masters.

But, his own thoughts.

Just like those masters, his thoughts also mean mental strength. He also wants to make his strength further, and he also wants to make himself stronger by defeating powerful enemies-this means that if If he continues to insist on this idea, then this firm will will...

"Don't?"

Du Chengfeng was suddenly startled.

It was at this time that he realized why there were not many masters emerging in this world even though there was such an efficient way to quickly advance through evil spirits - he originally thought that most of those masters had secluded themselves from the world, just like that Taizu Nanchen, or Yuan Zhixian who was beaten to death by him before.

But looking at it now...

Is it possible that the determination of those masters actually killed themselves?

"hiss……"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but take a breath.

Indeed, he has explored that a firm will can indeed change reality, but it is not until now that he realizes that the firm will itself is actually another poison that can kill people.

This is not the kind of magical internal power that can do anything. It is even more dangerous than the evil spirit. This is a dangerous double-edged sword that will kill you in turn if you are not careful.

"This world..."

Du Chengfeng turned his head again and looked at the huge mental whirlpool in the air of Sanshan Town.

Those complicated thoughts were spiraling like a dark cloud, weighing heavily on Du Chengfeng's heart.

This world doesn't seem to be so friendly to the strong.

The weak will die from weapons, and the strong will die from themselves. Perhaps even in this idealistic world that has seen ghosts, there has never been any path to immortality.

Although Du Chengfeng himself had never thought about pursuing immortality, the thought that he had become so strong and had one foot on the edge of the cliff gave him a toothache.

"Anyway...it's a good thing to be able to see this clearly."

Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng decided to have a happy funeral.

Everything has a bad side, and naturally it also has a good side. It seems that although he now realizes that the mind power thing is not that easy to use, at least he has a better understanding of its operating mechanism - the double-edged sword is indeed dangerous. , but after all, it still has one edge facing outward. If used properly, it may not be able to help him.

It seemed like now, he at least had a rough idea of ​​how to try.

"Anyway, think about good things. For example, if you wake up early today, the food you buy will definitely be fresh..."

With this in mind, Du Chengfeng walked all the way into the town and went to the vegetable market. Since he came too early, the vegetable farmers and butchers had just opened their stalls, so they really bought him a lot of fresh vegetables and meat.

The use of mental energy has initially yielded results, which also made Du Chengfeng's originally frowning brows relax a lot.

Of course, strictly speaking, this was just because he got up too early, but that didn't stop him from thinking it was a good thing.

Since it is a good thing, then think more about it. At least Du Chengfeng has decided not to think about things about fighting and killing for the time being - mainly because when reviewing his recent experiences, he also noticed that maybe it was Because recently he has not had the same requirements for his own strength as before, but has turned his attention to cooking, so the powerful enemies he encountered in the past have never appeared again.

Originally, he thought it was good luck that allowed him to live a peaceful life for a while, but now it seems... it may not have been due to hard work.

According to his current understanding of the mechanism of mental power, when he does not think about powerful enemies and is not obsessed with defeating powerful enemies, the so-called powerful enemies will naturally not appear.

"If you think about it this way...if I hadn't met He Xiqing back then and could have lived a normal life, maybe my wish back then would have really come true?"

Du Chengfeng felt a little sad when he thought about the time when he first arrived.

If he could understand this back then, he would probably have fled southward. Anyway, if there was someone high enough to hold him up when the sky fell, it would be good for him to live a good life - but it was a pity that that At that time, he happened to take the butcher's knife. With the strength, he thought about being the tallest one and solving the problem by himself.

Different choices led him to a different life. Originally, he thought that the strong enemies along the way were purely due to his bad luck and he could only fight hard, but now it seems...

That was the path he chose. Can he blame luck?

"Is choice more important than hard work?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

If he had really chosen another path back then, he might be a wealthy man in Jiankang City now. Even if he didn't have a group of wives and concubines, he might still be able to claim to have thousands of acres of fertile land - at least a house of his own. Yes, it can be regarded as fulfilling his original dream.

As for now...

“It’s cold at high places.”

Du Chengfeng shook his head.

As a master, he has indeed escaped the danger of death, and his own strength has brought him a sufficient sense of security. However, this journey has indeed been bumpy and walking on thin ice - just like now, trying Even though he controlled his mental power, he was half-stepping into the edge of death. He had brought all this on himself.

And the most outrageous thing is that no one can actually understand what situation he is in right now. Only his research on mental strength has reached this point. Now he has truly realized his ideas and walked in this world. The frontier, but the one at the front is also the most dangerous one.

"Forget it, forget it, I still don't want this."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng shook his head and quickly dismissed his thoughts.

Having understood the working mechanism of his mind, he didn't dare to think wildly, especially when he was thinking the worst about his situation - after all, in this hellish idealistic world, a firm will can really change reality, right? As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of will come. When he kept imagining that he was in danger, he was afraid that he was not really in danger.

"How can it be dangerous? This town is so peaceful, and those martial arts masters are not real masters... Even if there is a fight, they can't even scratch my skin, so what danger can I be in?"

Du Chengfeng thought this, and his face gradually became cheerful and optimistic.

But this kind of thing is like the classic don't be like an elephant. The more you force yourself not to think about something, the more subconsciously you will think of something.
