In the Blade

In the wine shop, Du Chengfeng and Huode Xingjun sat opposite each other, both of them looked gloomy.

Because they were acquaintances, Du Chengfeng simply paid for the wine. After all, it was nothing more than adding an extra cup, which was not a big deal for him. But who would have thought that his friendly gesture would make Huode Xingjun even angrier. The old man with red hair and red beard almost fought with him again.

"No, it's wrong to pay the bill?"

Du Chengfeng was puzzled. This old man was already a great man, why did he still eat without paying?

But as Huode Xingjun told him, Du Chengfeng realized that it was not the case at all.

Huode Xingjun's current state was actually similar to his. On the one hand, he had not found a suitable path for himself, and on the other hand, he was also affected by the death intention, so he chose to come down and take a walk. Huode Xingjun, on the other hand, was injured by the fisherman once before, so he also needed to come out and take a walk to make up for the damage in his state of mind.

And now, not paying for meals is the path that Huode Xingjun has chosen for himself.

Or, it is the beginning of this path.

"You also saw that so many people surrounded me and beat me just now, but I beat them all down."

After drinking a mouthful of wine, Huode Xingjun's face was full of resentment.

"Since I have done such evil, many people will naturally come to attack me. When I defeat them one by one, I can also attract more people. If I continue to do this, I can reap victory again and again. Their passion, like a raging fire, can also rekindle my Tao heart."

The plan is very full, but the execution is completely different. Huode Xingjun, who is determined to be a big devil, never thought that his set of hatred chain operations has not started yet, and he was directly suppressed by Du Chengfeng who suddenly appeared.

The wine money was paid, and even the soup and medicine for beating people were paid together. Du Chengfeng has always been comprehensive in handling things.

"You mean I paid the wrong money, right?"

Du Chengfeng looked gloomy, he didn't expect it to be like this.

In fact, when he made the move, he had a vague feeling in his heart. At that time, he thought that he might be able to take chivalry as his guideline for action, at least this concept could last for a while - but who would have thought that the person he arrested was actually an acquaintance, and this acquaintance was actually a powerful person.

Even though he was already a powerful person, he still wanted to use such a dirty trick. Yes, this Fire Virtue Star Lord can gain perfection in his state of mind, and those masters of evil spirits who were knocked down will probably also gain some experience. But who did the owner of the wine shop offend? Didn't he still lose money for a meal?

Oh, the owner of the wine shop didn't lose money either, after all, he paid the money in the end.

"Why don't we find a place to practice."

Du Chengfeng was a little angry, he wanted to fight with this old Deng to vent his anger.

But this Fire Virtue Star Lord didn't mean to fight him.

"My state of mind is damaged and I can't fight with all my strength. Isn't it a bit unethical to fight with you at this time?"

While shaking his head, the Fire Star Lord stood up.

"Well, it's my bad luck to meet you today. Forget it, I'm going to continue looking for things. The road is wide and we can go our separate ways. Don't interfere with my work next time."

"Don't let me run into you again. If I run into you again, I'll beat you out of your breakfast."

Du Chengfeng's face was also quite ugly, but he still didn't choose to take action at this time. After all, he did have martial virtues and would not take advantage of others.

However, the more he endured, the angrier he became. The more he took a step back, the more he thought about it. So he quietly followed the Fire Star Lord for two streets, and then directly put a sack on the Fire Star Lord in an empty alley and beat him up.

Facts have proved that although Huo De Xing Jun is indeed a powerful person, his fighting skills at the level of mortals are still a little rusty, which makes Du Chengfeng very pessimistic about the path that Huo De Xing Jun is taking. He wants to gain blood and passion by defeating masters, but Huo De Xing Jun may not be good enough.

"Wait for me!"

Huo De Xing Jun, who was beaten up, climbed up. He could sense who did it, but when he stood up and wanted to fight back, Du Chengfeng had already run away.

However, during the whole process, they were very tacit and did not use those overly extraordinary powers.

"Or, try not to destroy the surrounding environment."

Du Chengfeng recalled what the coyote said before, and compared it with the current behavior of Huo De Xing Jun, Du Chengfeng roughly summarized some ways.

After all, they came down to repair their state of mind, and the environment they chose was also the venue for them to repair their state of mind - or to put it in a more understandable way, the surrounding environment is equivalent to a cooking pot.

It's okay to eat and eat until you're full, but it's wrong to smash the pot while eating.

"What's more, it's too simple to solve everything with those powers beyond common sense."

Du Chengfeng thought so.

This is indeed the case. After all, the great power that can fly to the sky by itself has strength far beyond ordinary understanding. For example, Du Chengfeng at the moment, even if he faces the entire Southern Chen Empire alone, he can probably kill several rounds from it - so if he must use this power, it's a bit like turning on the modifier when playing a game. Although it can make him pass the level quickly, it also directly makes him lose the fun of the game.

Too simple a solution means that it is difficult to feel the details in the middle, but the things that can really touch them are often hidden in these details.

After all, they come here to practice their minds, to repair their moods, to find inspiration, not to kill people.

Blindly resorting to power is putting the cart before the horse.

"Then, I have completely understood."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but nod repeatedly. This is really a good idea.

However, although the method is good, it is still a bit difficult to implement.

For example, Du Chengfeng is like this now. Although he has a solution, he is still in a state of aimlessness. Although he also knows that he wants to find something he can believe in and stick to in this world, just like when he was sitting next to the fish pond, he doesn't know where to start.

"Or... start with interest?"

Du Chengfeng vaguely thought of a direction, and then shook his head repeatedly.

Starting from his interest, he would find a place to be a cook, but this idea reminded him of his experience in Sanshan Town. He was indeed a cook during that time, but there was no explanation for that peaceful time. That kind of comfortable life was obviously closer to eternal sleep.

In other words, if he really did that, he would probably be close to a real eternal sleep.

"I still have to find something less comfortable to do."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng began to ask around for some anecdotes.

Perhaps because of his good luck, he really found out about something - this was a notice issued by Wang Yuanwai's family in the town, saying that the house was haunted and disturbed the family, so he wanted to find a master to help clean it up.

This kind of thing is usually done by monks and Taoist priests, but sometimes, masters of evil spirits can actually do it. After all, most of these martial arts crazy people who have been possessed by evil spirits are not afraid of ghosts. They think that the evil spirit weapons in their hands can kill even living people, so dead ghosts can be killed in the same way.

And Du Chengfeng, with the title of evil spirit master, entered the house of Mr. Wang.

The haunted room is in the wing room in the backyard. It is said that the room was originally occupied by Mr. Wang’s concubine, but because of a sudden illness, the concubine died, so it is now vacant - but it is in this vacant room that the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling is often heard.

"Even my daughter, my poor daughter..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Wang has already burst into tears.

It turned out that Wang Yuanwai's daughter was a brave one, and she was also good at swordsmanship, so when the ghost first appeared, Wang Yuanwai's daughter simply broke in directly - but who would have thought that after a quarter of an hour, Wang Yuanwai's daughter flew out backwards, covered with wounds, and died at that time.

"It means that this ghost can still kill people."

Du Chengfeng collected enough information, which was not dangerous to him. On the contrary, the feeling of danger made him feel quite exciting.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing can't hurt me."

After saying this, Du Chengfeng naturally moved in.

During the day, the ghosts naturally didn't make trouble, so Du Chengfeng simply waited until midnight - and in the process, Du Chengfeng, who had nothing to do, began to think about his personal development plan. Now that he had a good start, he might be able to go down this path and solve strange stories in various places with the identity of exorcising demons.

In this process, he might also find what he wants to believe in, find the path he wants to take, and find the thing that can support him to keep going.

"It's getting better, it's getting better this time."

Thinking like this, Du Chengfeng lay on the bed and fell asleep.

This is also a flaw he deliberately exposed. After all, he waited until midnight, and the ghost didn't come out, which means that this so-called ghost may have vaguely sensed the danger-there is nothing he can do about it. Even if Du Chengfeng doesn't use the power of those powerful people, or even any power, and only relies on simple fists and feet, he is now at the level of a first-class master.

If you count this copper skin and iron bones, although this can only be regarded as a weakened version of the steel body, it is no longer something that a master of evil spirits can hurt. This means that even if a so-called super-first-class master comes, he may be able to knock him down with just fists and feet.

With such combat power, no matter whether the existence hidden in the dark is a ghost or not, it is obviously not dare to move.

So since there was no chance, Du Chengfeng could only take the initiative to create opportunities for the other party to attack, just like now, he was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, his body had no defensive posture, just waiting for others to chop him.

So, he was really stabbed.

"Ouch!"

Feeling a little itchy, Du Chengfeng cried out in pain, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he actually saw a ghost.

Or rather, this is not really a ghost. Although the body under the other party's helmet and armor is indeed a corpse, he feels that the appearance of this corpse soldier is a little familiar.

"And the marks left by the knife on your body... Did I chop you?"

Du Chengfeng grabbed the corpse soldier's neck and lifted him up in the air.

"Why are there teeth marks on my body...are they bitten by a wolf?"

The corpse soldier in mid-air was shaking all over, and his teeth were chattering.

And Du Chengfeng's expression became increasingly gloomy.

"No..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look up in the direction of the beam.

The expression on his face was exactly the same as when he saw Mr. Huo Dexing.

Just because the person appearing in front of him right now is indeed a person similar to Lord Huo Dexing.

That was also a powerful person named Zheng Qixing.

It's just different from when they parted before. Now Zheng Qixing just nodded his head. Looking at his kind-hearted look, he was just like a rich man in the world - but Zheng Qixing's next words made Du a little bit confused. Chengfeng got angry because Zheng Qixing actually asked him to put down the corpse soldier.

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."

Zheng Qixing waved his hands repeatedly.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng realized that the Corpse Soldier came here for a reason - it turned out that the concubine who died in the Wang Yuanwai's family was the blood descendant of the Corpse Soldier, and the Corpse Soldier's greatest wish was , just to be able to take a look at whether one's offspring are doing well.

But who would have thought that when the corpse soldier was brought back and took a look at it from a distance, he happened to see the king's first wife and his men beating this concubine to death.

"Speaking of which, this child's life is also miserable. Because he has some good looks, he was tricked by the king to break up his family, and then he married her by force. After he got married, he was not tolerated by the eldest wife, and the result was..."

Speaking of this, Zheng Qixing also looked sad.

"So I can only let this dead soul let go and do whatever he wants. After all, he can only rest in peace after punishing this evil-doing king... This is also my practice. I hope you can forgive me."

"hiss……"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

He felt inexplicably that things were starting to get hot.

"It's not a big deal."

Seeing that Du Chengfeng hadn't given up yet, Zheng Qixing quickly continued to persuade him.

"The king is a treacherous person to begin with. He has done a lot of evil things in order to amass wealth. Now, brother, letting go of this dead soul is also to punish the treacherous and eradicate the evil..."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Throwing the undead aside, Du Chengfeng's expression became more subtle.

"I want to say, how come you can meet familiar people wherever you go?"

"You are practicing, what should I practice?"
