Mortal Mirror

Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar sighed when Li Muzhen asked him, "It all started twenty-eight years ago..."

It turned out that twenty-eight years ago, the Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar was still a handsome and bright scholar. That year, he fell in love with a woman.

He originally wanted to stay with this woman forever, but fate played tricks on him. The woman was spotted by the young master of the Wu family, who offered a valuable betrothal gift to her family. He, a poor scholar, was no match for a large family.

But he loved that woman too much, so he secretly arranged to elope with her. Unexpectedly, fate played tricks on him again. That night, there was heavy rain, but instead of the woman, he was met by a group of people from the Wu family wielding clubs.

He was beaten half to death. From then on, he lost interest in fame and only wanted to travel the world. Eventually, he received guidance from an expert and learned a body of martial arts.

In an accident, he broke off a little finger to save someone. From then on, there was the title of Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar in the martial world, and he was quite the sensation for a time.

A few years ago, he returned to his old place again. He still couldn't let go of what happened back then, so he went all the way and stole the treasure book passed down by the Wu family to vent his hatred.

Unexpectedly, the Wu family regarded the treasure book as their life. Wu Lao Jiu chased him for several years, but in an accident, he deliberately threw the treasure book into a fortune teller's stall, which was also to vent his anger.

And that Wu Lao Jiu was like a maggot attached to the bone, constantly chasing him. That's how he came to Sky Sword City. To escape this guy's pursuit, he pretended to rob, and then was locked in this black prison. Although it's boring, it's better than being chased every day.

After listening to the Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar's story, Li Muzhen didn't know what to say, only feeling that this old beggar was a wonderful person.

At this time, Li Muzhen asked again, "Master, I have committed a serious crime and will surely die. How are you going to help me avoid death?"

The Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar chuckled and said, "Boy, you are too young, you don't know the ways of the world. Don't worry, the two people you killed are worthless. I'll spend some money to take care of it.

But well, a life for a life, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is inevitable. Perhaps you will have to suffer a bit.

Enough nonsense, since I have become your master, I should teach you some life-saving skills now."

It must be said that this Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar was really a character. He immediately began to teach Li Muzhen some fist and foot techniques, and internal energy techniques.

To his surprise, this Li Muzhen was smart and clever, learning everything quickly and understanding everything at once. He was really a good seed for martial arts.

The old beggar was so happy that he really wanted to train his only disciple well, and he taught him everything he knew. In just one month, Li Muzhen actually learned seventy to eighty percent of the old beggar's skills.

Although he couldn't compare with the old beggar, he had three-tenths of his strength. Given time, with proper cultivation of internal energy, he would surpass his master, but it was only a matter of time.

The old beggar was amazed by this, thinking that he had found a treasure. He was delighted that his lineage had successors.

He only felt that this Li Muzhen was really a martial arts genius, but unfortunately he didn't know immortal techniques, otherwise, Li Muzhen's achievements would probably be more than this.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener was mindful. Li Muzhen immediately thought of the things in the box, the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth Art. He didn't know if he could cultivate it.

This Li Muzhen was born with wisdom and was extremely clever. With a foundation in martial arts, he began to study this Hongmeng Heaven and Earth Art.

When the rising sun first appeared, the world changed from dark to bright, as if it was the moment when heaven and earth were first separated.

At this moment, a trace of Hongmeng energy would rise between heaven and earth. This Hongmeng Heaven and Earth Art was to use this trace of Hongmeng energy to open up the meridians and dantian.

Once the first step was opened, he could cultivate normally. The book said that this technique created heaven and earth. When cultivated to the extreme, it could create the universe, overturn rivers and seas, and shatter heaven and earth.

Li Muzhen only felt that this introduction was a bit frightening, perhaps it was to deceive people into cultivating, and he couldn't believe it at all.

No matter what, he wanted to try it, but unfortunately, this prison was dark and could not see the sun, so he couldn't cultivate this method. He could only ask his master to find a way.

It must be said that the Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar was really an old Jianghu. He didn't know what method he used, but he took a lot of silver to bribe the officials.

Li Muzhen's sentence was finally approved. The evidence of his crime stated that Li Muzhen accidentally killed someone, and his crime did not deserve death. Therefore, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to Tianjian Pass to serve.

Not having to die, Li Muzhen was naturally very happy. The Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar also told him that as long as he didn't die, he could operate again after going to Tianjian Pass to restore his freedom.

Li Muzhen now admired this master very much. So, after being imprisoned for more than a month, Li Muzhen, whose face was pale, saw the long-lost sunshine for the first time.

Tianjian Pass, the first majestic pass on the eastern border of the Great Xia Dynasty. Its tall city walls were fifteen feet high and ten feet thick. The top of the city wall was extremely spacious, and several carriages could pass through at the same time.

The majestic pass was long, but it had never stopped being repaired over the years.

Because, every once in a while, the barbarians outside the pass would attack here. It could be seen that the city walls were covered with mottled colors, which was the witness of history.

Li Muzhen thought that the soldiers guarding the city were all ordinary martial artists, but when he saw those who could fly with swords and those with great magical powers, he realized that the world was not what he saw.

At this moment, he also realized that this was what immortals looked like, which made his heart even more fiery.

Li Muzhen was arranged to move stones to the top of the city wall to reinforce the city wall. The stones here seemed to be endless. He was exhausted like a dead dog every day. If he hadn't cultivated his skills and his physique was much better than before, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

These days, he would get up before dawn, just to wait for the rising sun, the moment when darkness and light alternated, and the chaotic energy rose and roamed between heaven and earth.

At this time, Li Muzhen would sense the Hongmeng energy. It must be said that this kid was really a rare genius. In just seven days, he felt the existence of that trace of Hongmeng energy.

When there is a wisp of Hongmeng, heaven and earth are free. From then on, he will become an immortal body, and there will be no mortals in the world.

On the second day of sensing the Hongmeng energy, Li Muzhen opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then converged at the bottom of his eyes. His eyes were full of excitement.

He only felt that there was a strand of chaotic energy as thick as a hair wandering in his meridians. He knew that he had succeeded. At this moment, he felt as if his whole body was full of infinite power.

He was overjoyed and really wanted to shout. If others knew that he had refined a trace of spiritual energy in just eight days, I wonder if they would be amazed. After all, this was too shocking.

You must know that Chen Qingping, who was known as the peerless genius and the number one person in the world in Yunzhitian Palace, took half a month to understand the introduction to spiritual energy.

If such a good seed was discovered, I really don't know how many people would compete for this child.

Unfortunately, he was like an undiscovered steed, and could only lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. We still have to believe that gold will shine sooner or later. A roc rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles.

Young man, the road ahead is at your feet. No matter how rough and bumpy the road ahead is, you must not be afraid of difficulties and move forward.

Li Muzhen was happy in his heart, but after thinking about it, he decided not to tell his master. After all, he secretly cultivated the skills, and he didn't know if it was good or not, or if it was a betrayal of his master. You must know that he used to listen to storytellers telling Jianghu stories. If he secretly cultivated other martial arts and was discovered by his master, he would be abolished his martial arts at least, and directly executed at worst.

The following days seemed to be stable. Li Muzhen also found it much easier to move stones every day. As the cultivation time became longer and longer, Li Muzhen couldn't help but discover that the immortal method was much more terrifying than he imagined.

Li Muzhen cultivated diligently and did not attract people's attention. However, as time went on, he became more and more sturdy, from a skinny boy to a more and more handsome boy.

He also found that the dragon-shaped jade pendant on his neck could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into him, which made his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds.

From then on, Li Muzhen began his secret cultivation journey. Who knows what achievements he will achieve in the future.

At this moment, in Yucheng, in Huangfeng Valley, Li Ergou suddenly opened his eyes, with endless sharpness in his eyes. It could be seen that countless large tendons on his body bulged, as if old tree roots were wrapped around his body.

Now he has cultivated the large tendons very powerfully, but it will take a long time to reach the extreme. As for the sword bones, they have been completely refined by him and are no different from his own.

Now, under his daily sacrifice, the sword bones have become more and more transparent, tougher, and more spiritual. With perseverance, they will definitely become a major weapon for him.

After several months of cultivation, the use of countless great medicines and spirit crystals, his martial arts and divine cultivation have all reached the peak of the second realm.

He felt that it would not be long before he could break through the foundation building stage of divine way and the qi condensation stage of martial arts.

At this moment, he felt terribly strong. What made him speechless the most was the blood spirit. Because this guy devoured the blood and flesh Taoist, his cultivation had also reached the peak of foundation building. If it weren't for his main body, he suspected that this guy had already broken through foundation building and achieved golden elixir.

This thing is really powerful. To be honest, although he has obtained a lot of benefits from this thing, he is still relatively repelled by him in his heart. After all, anyone who has something that does not belong to him in his body will be very upset and uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, he has no choice for the time being. Let's make himself stronger first, especially this time, he wants to achieve something in the world's first martial arts conference, and he needs a strong strength as a foundation.

Shaking his head slightly, he raised one hand, and Dafu, one of the five ghosts, immediately appeared beside him and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

Li Ergou couldn't help but ask, "During the time I was in seclusion, has anything special happened in Yucheng?"

Da Gui shook his head quickly and said, "Everything has been calm during this time, and nothing special has happened, but..."

Li Ergou raised his eyebrows when he saw Da Fu hesitating and said, "If you have something to say, don't be so motherly."

Da Fu stopped hesitating and then continued: "Although nothing has happened in Yucheng, recently, many knife-lending people have appeared on the streets. These people sell you knives, but they don't want money. They say that they will come to collect the knife money when the fish in the Yulong River come ashore.

This is so strange, how can fish come ashore? Isn't this a fantasy?

But those knives are selling very fast, after all, they don't cost money. Everyone thinks that fish will not come ashore, and only a fool would not take advantage of such a cheap thing. For a time, those knife-lending people were very popular and sold a lot of knives."

Li Ergou was also stunned when he heard this. These knife-lending people were really unbelievable. He didn't care too much and thought that those guys might be some evil cultists who came to cause trouble.

However, if they don't cause damage to the safety of Yucheng, there is no need to pay attention to them. He just listened to it as a joke.

After a moment of silence, he said, "It's time to leave the seclusion. The next stage is to prepare to break through the foundation building and achieve the golden elixir, but I still need to prepare for a while."

Thinking of this, he looked at the five ghosts and said, "I'm leaving now. You must protect this place well. You must not let those ghost soldiers you organized go out to hurt people, otherwise, I won't spare you."

Da Fu immediately said, "Master, please rest assured, I will just manage the surrounding ghosts well so that they will not go out to cause chaos in the world."

Li Ergou didn't say much, rode Gou Jianqiang and left Huangfeng Valley.

On Orange Mountain, everything was fiery red. The oranges in the orange forest had reached the season of maturity. The scenery in the orange forest was very beautiful, and Li Ergou was pleasing to the eye along the way.

Back at Orange Mountain, Mei'er and Jing'er were cooking. Li Ergou said with a look of surprise, "Eh, you know I'm coming back today? That's not right, I didn't tell you in advance."

Jing'er and Mei'er were naturally very happy to see Li Ergou.

Mei'er said, "Of course we didn't know you were coming back. Today, we invited Wanwan, the Qin Fairy, and Bai Su to get together. Who knows, you would come back."

Li Ergou didn't want these women to get along so well.

Then he said, "They are coming? What festival is it today?"

Mei'er smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course not, but well, today is a good day."

Li Ergou rolled his eyes and said, "Can you not be so mysterious? Say it quickly, it's making people itchy."

Jing'er chuckled and said, "Mei'er, don't embarrass our Ergou master. Young master, to tell you the truth, today Ye Wanwan is also officially coming to live on our Orange Mountain, and we are also a welcome ceremony.

Moreover, the Sitianjian said that there will be a very grand meteor shower tonight, and we can just watch the moon and watch the meteor shower."

Li Ergou was slightly surprised and said, "That girl insisted on going out by herself some time ago, why is she coming back again?"

Jing'er chuckled and said, "She said, to save money."

Li Ergou: "..."

To be honest, he was always a little worried about Ye Wanwan, a girl, being outside by herself. Even if she was strong, she was still a girl, unlike here, at least Jing'er and Mei'er would take care of her.

When that girl first came to Yucheng, she originally lived on Orange Mountain, but she didn't live there for long before she clamored to go out, and no one knew why. Now that she is coming back, he is naturally very happy, at least he doesn't have to worry about her anymore.

Li Ergou asked them to make more delicious food and went back to his room first.
