A familiar feeling came like a tide.

Just when he thought he was about to break through.

The spiritual energy in his body flowed to the meridians again, escaping from his body.

It rushed down!

"Failed again."

Two years later.

Ren Pingsheng once again experienced what despair was.

"Is it possible that I was born incapable?"

At this moment, Ren Pingsheng began to doubt his body.

Ninth rank... For others, as long as there are enough resources, they can break through, but for him, it is like an insurmountable gap.

Maybe he was not born to practice.

There is no other explanation for why his talent for practice is so poor.

"Do your best and leave it to fate. Let nature take its course in the future."

Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, slowly stood up, bent down to pick up the long sword on the ground, walked into the courtyard, and practiced martial arts as usual.

Near dusk.

In the courtyard.

Ren Pingsheng waved the long sword in his hand, turning and moving, the sword light flashed, sometimes as light as a swallow, sometimes as sudden as lightning.

It was April, and the crabapple blossomed, exuding fragrance.

A sword danced with breeze, causing the branches to sway gently.

The petals flew in the air, drifting like snowflakes, and fell on Ren Pingsheng.

I don't know how long it took.

Ren Pingsheng put down the sword in his hand, sat on the ground, looking at the pink petals all over the ground, and suddenly a poem emerged in his mind.

"Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers."

Not afraid of setbacks, unwilling to sink.

This is the evaluation of the poet by the high school Chinese teacher.

I didn't care at the time, but now I read it with more feelings.

Just eight short words.

It's not easy to do well.

I don't know why.

At this moment.

Ren Pingsheng thought of his wife who had not yet married - Princess Chang'an Liu Ruyan.

The higher you climb, the more scenery you see, and the more painful it is when you fall.

Compared with her, I am still lucky, at least I didn't experience the despair of falling thousands of feet.

But, in the end, the two of them had the same goal, both were blocked in the martial arts, and both had difficulty climbing to the top.

"We share the same pain."

Ren Pingsheng laughed at himself and got up from the ground.

No sword practice tonight.

He wanted to drink

In the blink of an eye, night fell, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Ren Pingsheng sat in the yard, drinking alone.

It was rare to empty himself.

He didn't think about anything, didn't do anything, just drank.

Da Zhou is rich in yellow wine, which has a low alcohol content. With Ren Pingsheng's alcohol tolerance, it is difficult to get drunk.

He drank the second glass of wine in one gulp.

Ren Pingsheng picked up the wine pot and planned to pour another glass. Before the glass fell, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the side room.

Turning his head, he could see in the moonlight that there was a thin figure in the room, bending over, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Ghost?"

Ren Pingsheng was startled, holding the long sword beside him, and was about to retreat slowly.

"Chi!"

At this moment, accompanied by a strange sound, the figure in the room disappeared.

This sound is a bit familiar.

Ren Pingsheng was slightly startled, and after a moment of recollection, he suddenly said: "Is it that little black guy?"

There are monsters in this world.

It is not common for animals to cultivate into spirits and transform into human forms, but it is not rare.

Of course.

The possibility of a mouse cultivating into a spirit with only a waste pill is extremely low!

...But it is not impossible.

"If it is really as I guessed, doesn't it mean that my talent is not as good as a little black mouse?"

Ren Pingsheng felt the critical damage again.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the side room and said slowly: "Come out, I won't kill you."

"."

No movement at all.

Can't understand human language?

Or don't want to come out?

Just when Ren Pingsheng was considering whether to call the guards.

The strange sound sounded again.

"Chi!"

A black mouse tiptoed to the door, and its mung bean-sized eyes showed deep fear, and it didn't dare to look directly at the human in front of it.

"You"

Ren Pingsheng wanted to ask it if it understood human language.

Before he opened his mouth, he saw Shushu kneeling on the ground, kowtowed continuously, and made a "chi chi" sound from his mouth, as if begging the human in front of him to spare his life.

"."

At this moment, Ren Pingsheng suddenly understood what it meant to be as timid as a mouse.

"Forget it, if there was no waste pill, you wouldn't have to worry about changing your shape."

Ren Pingsheng looked at Shushu who kept kowtowing, hoping to escape the disaster, sighed in his heart, picked up a piece of cake on the table, and threw it over: "After eating, leave Ren Mansion, and let bygones be bygones."

The cake fell in front of Shushu, and its mung bean-sized eyes showed desire, but it was afraid of Ren Pingsheng and did not dare to step forward.

After a while, Ren Pingsheng turned around and ignored it.

It just showed a look of joy, holding the cake with two small paws and gobbling it up.

After a while, a piece of cake fell into its stomach.

The amazing thing is that after eating the cake that was bigger than its body, its belly didn't change at all.

"Chi!"

Shushu stood there, looking at the cake on the table in the distance, pursed its lips, and subconsciously stretched out its little paws.

But when it saw the huge monster sitting next to it, its mind, which was overwhelmed by hunger, quickly sobered up.

Its four little paws gently dug the ground and ran away.

Shushu knew what he wanted.

To live,

Then go to the human's house to get some food.

"What do I want?"

Facing the bright moonlight, Ren Pingsheng rarely thinks.

Picnic and fishing in the suburbs, playing chess and listening to music in the Jiaofangsi... Such days are very good, but I always feel that something is missing.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that because of the existence of the emperor, he can't spend his life so comfortably.

Now the North is peaceful and the years are peaceful because of his father, the King of Zhenbei.

When one day, his father is gone, how can he support the sky of the North?

"Chi!"

The strange sound sounded again, pulling Ren Pingsheng, who was thinking wildly, back to reality.

Turning his head, he saw Shushu coming back.

The little paw pointed to the left, and the movement was hurried.

Ren Pingsheng looked in the direction, and there was nothing unusual.

"Why come back?"

Facing Shushu's strange behavior, Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Chiji chiji chiji!"

In the hurried voice.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

At the same time.

A strange voice sounded in his ears.

"Don't move!"

The person who spoke was a woman, who sounded young.

At this moment, Ren Pingsheng finally understood that Shushu was telling him the news. He looked over subconsciously and saw Shushu running away.

With its courage, telling the news was the limit of what it could do.

"I don't know who sent this woman, what she wants to do, and whether there is room for maneuver."

Ren Pingsheng's mind was working very fast, thinking about how to get out. Before he could figure it out, he heard a noise coming from outside.

Then he heard the woman behind him say:

"Help me get out, I will reward you in the future!"

Ren Pingsheng was stunned when he heard this.

From what she said, she was being chased by someone and happened to escape here?

It was an important place in the capital, and it was also a heavily guarded inner city.

The chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes did not dare to act rashly. It was not surprising that the people chasing her were people from the court.

I just don't know what she did to make the officials chase her here.

"Harboring a fugitive is a serious crime. It's best not to get involved, but in the current situation, it seems there is no other choice."

While thinking, Ren Pingsheng has made a decision and said in a deep voice: "Follow me into the house."
