God's will is getting warmer, and the surroundings of Huangzhong Ridge are already lush and green.

As the saying goes, spring is sleepy and autumn is lackluster. Wu Gen sat bored under the locust tree in the courtyard, squinting and taking a nap. There were rumbling sounds and vibrations from behind the mountain, and the leaves of the locust tree fell down one after another.

"Ah sneeze." Wu Gen sneezed and picked off a few leaves that fell on his face. "You can't stop calming down. With this strength, you can carry a few bags of private salt." He muttered a few words in a low voice.

, looked at the back of the mountain angrily.

Needless to say, this is Shui Congyue practicing martial arts on the mountain. Every day at dawn, Shui Congyue goes to the back mountain alone, practicing diligently. This happens every day, and he only goes down the mountain during meal time. His moves are extremely domineering.

, the back mountain was already in a mess. From time to time, gravel fell down, covering the entire courtyard.

Wu Gen was a little worried. If it continued like this, the name of Barren Tomb Ridge might not be preserved and it would be demolished sooner or later.

Going in and out of ghosts several times has really helped Shui Congyue a lot. Now, the light in his eyes is restrained, and his aggressive and murderous aura is gradually receding. This is a sign that the bright energy has turned into darkness, and all the murderous power has been absorbed into his body. When he is quiet

, it looked even more moist like jade. When I took action, it was like a dragon or a tiger.

After looking at the sun, Wu Gen was about to get up and go to the kitchen to cook. Now he was the owner of the village and the owner of a private salt shop, and he was also the chef. He had to wait for water from the moon for three meals a day.

"Ouch." Wu Gen exclaimed, tripped on a stone on the ground, and fell heavily to the ground.

"I can't live this life." Wu Gen murmured like a resentful woman, looking at the stones in the courtyard and sighing. The movement in the back mountain gradually became smaller, Wu Gen sighed, got up and walked to the kitchen, quickly starting to cook.

Come.

Today’s dish is wild boar stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried with a plate of newly discovered wild vegetables from the mountains, and topped with a plate of fried dried fish. It’s lunch for two.

While he was busy, Shui Congyue walked in, and Wu Gen said without looking back, "Take a break, the food will be on the table soon."

Instead of sitting at the table and waiting like before, Shui Congyue said: "Let's add another dish. I brought the prey in the courtyard. I will prepare the prey today, which can be regarded as a reward for taking care of me for many days."

"Huh?" Wu Gen was stunned and looked up to the west, but he didn't see the sun. The water had never touched Yangchun water on weekdays. Today was unusual, which made Wu Gen a little uncomfortable.

"Forget it, I'll do it. I don't know what you brought back." Wu Gen wiped his hands with his apron and walked out. As soon as his feet were out of the threshold, he jumped back again and saw a dozen people standing in front of the kitchen door.

A big snake that was more than ten feet long, with its bloody head facing the door of the house.

"This, this, this..." Wu Gen pointed at the big snake and looked back at Shui Congyue, "Such a big python can't fit in our pot, and besides, it takes a lot of firewood to cook it.

"The snake is so big that it takes up almost half of the space in the courtyard.

"Hmm... That's true. Let's cut it into smaller pieces." Shui Congyue thought for a while, picked up the euphorbia, and with a few strokes, the big snake was divided into several parts. "This kind of big snake has been practicing in the mountains for many years.

The qi and blood are very strong, which can be said to be a great tonic for people practicing martial arts. Especially snake gallbladder has the effect of dispelling poison and breaking delusion, which is really difficult."

Wu Gen helplessly looked at the sections of snake body that were taller than himself, then looked at the big pot behind him, then turned around to prepare the barbecue rack.

He put a section of the snake body up and was about to light it on fire, but was stopped by Shui Congyue. He saw a murmur in his mouth, a ball of flame appeared at his fingertips, and with a shake of his hand, the flame fell on the snake.

The snake's body was sizzling with oil, and Wu Gen was filled with envy. "Cong Yue, I will definitely take you with me when I go on outings from now on. There is no need to look for firewood." Watching Shui Cong Yue concentrate on the barbecue, Wu Gen turned around and walked back to the house to continue.

Cook meals.

After a while, a burning smell came. Wu Gen quickly pulled away to check, but he saw Shui Congyue looking embarrassed. The snake body was as black as charcoal, and it was obviously inedible.

"It doesn't matter, just use less firepower." Looking at the pile of snake bodies in the courtyard, Wu Gen didn't care and turned back to the house. When the meal was ready, when he went out to see it, Wu Gen was dumbfounded.

There was a pile of black charcoal in the courtyard, and many snake bodies were gone. Shui Congyue's fair face was covered with gray marks, and like a little cat, he was gnashing his teeth and grabbing the last snake body.

With a slap on the forehead, Wu Gen quickly snatched the snake body from his hands. This guy really wasn't good at cooking, so he might as well go do more promising things like fighting and killing.

After eating, Shui Congyue sat on a chair under the locust tree, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm leaving."

"Well, go ahead and come back early." Wu Gen waved his hand indifferently.

"I'm going back to Zhu Juan Country."

"Go early and come back early. Huh? Are you leaving?"

"Yes, after traveling for a long time, there is always a time to return. I have been practicing many times in the ghost world, and I have reached a bottleneck. A martial artist can draw on the strengths of others, but if he cannot follow his own path, he will never be able to become everyone."

Wu Gen had a complicated expression and thought for a long time before saying: "I still have three pages of the Sutra here, you might as well take a look."

"The scriptures are the wisdom of the predecessors, which can be used for reference, but cannot be relied upon. The most important thing in the journey of martial arts is to find your own way. Those who say in novels that they have achieved great success after getting some secrets can only hide under the shadow of their predecessors, and in the end they are

It can't be anything great." Shui Congyue looked into the distance and said slowly.

"Come back?" Seeing that Shui Congyue had decided to leave, Wu Gen suddenly felt a little reluctant.

He has been an orphan since he was a child. What he likes most is laughing and talking, and what he fears most is being lonely and desolate. Therefore, Wu Gen usually looks carefree and cynical, which is essentially to cover up his inner loneliness.

A child was hiding in a dark room in the stockade, with no one around him. He only hugged his knees and sobbed softly. Loneliness and fear pressed hard like darkness, making people breathless. Over the years, I have often had such a dream.

, Wu Gen would always wake up from his dreams.

Shui Congyue did not answer, but instead advised, "A real man should have ambitions from all over the world. Why do you have to live in this barren mountain? When you go out, you will find that wherever you look, there are so many categories and capable people.

Know how big the world is."

Wu Gen looked towards the distant mountains with a gloomy look on his face, "Of course I know, but you are a noble person from Yue, so you naturally have the capital to travel around the world."

He stood up and pointed to the distant mountains, "But I am different from you. I once thought that there were many roads to choose from in the world, but when I took a step forward, I found that there were many invisible walls around me. The boundaries were all around me. The world was not as big as you imagined."

"

Shui Congyue suddenly stood up and slashed hard with his right hand, "Then smash these walls. Even if you hit your head and bleed, you will have no regrets. Because I have been there, tried it, and fought hard.

There will be no regrets in life."

"Break the wall..." Wu Gen looked down at his hands. Wu Gen took a deep breath, slowly clenched his fists, and laughed, "Yes, then break the wall. Let this world become

The real world."

"Okay, I hope that you and I can walk side by side on the road ahead. However, the road ahead is bumpy, and you must have some foundation for establishing yourself.

These days, I have also discovered that you are talented and intelligent, but you rely too much on so-called means and are a bit neglected in your martial arts. You may have means, but they are not the foundation of your life. Before leaving, I will fight with you, which can be regarded as

A parting gift."

At night, Shui Congyue and Wu Gen were walking on the road to the back mountain. When they arrived at the place where Shui Congyue usually practiced martial arts, they stopped and the two of them separated.

Shui Congyue stood on a rock, with long hair flying and bright eyes, "Wu Gen, the two of us fought one move that day. Today, the two of us used three moves. Tonight, I will not hold back any more energy and go out with all my strength. If

If you don’t want to be beaten to death by me, just try your best to attack.”

Feeling Shui Congyue's murderous intent, Wu Gen felt awe in his heart and slowly drew out his broken knife.

"The sword is also one of the methods. If you abandon the sword, today we will only fight with fists and feet. How dare you." Shui Congyue said sternly.

"Okay, just use fists and kicks. In my life, I have never fought to the death with anyone. Today, let me experience how powerful Cong Yue is. To tell you the truth, the Mind Sutra and Heart Technique can be used for both sword and boxing techniques. Continue

Let's move." Wu Gen threw the knife away, tightened his belt, slightly arched his body, and slowly stretched out his left palm.

"Here we come." With a loud shout, Wu Liang kicked his feet and shot his body towards Shui Congyue like an arrow. The speed was so fast that a trail of smoke and dust was left behind him.

Shui Congyue jumped up and faced him straight up. Their fists suddenly collided. There was a loud bang, air waves burst out from the fists, and the surrounding trees roared.

The water fell gently from the moon onto the stone that was standing just now, and the stone remained motionless.

However, Wu Gen came quickly and retreated even faster. Being punched by Shui Congyue, it was as if he hit an iron wall. His body rolled and flew backwards. After falling to the ground, his strength was still unabated. A figure appeared on the ground in front of him.

A long deep ditch formed.

"This is your strength. Isn't it funny to be as weak as a woman?" Shui Congyue shouted coldly, raising his chin slightly and looking at Wu Gen who was lying on the ground.

"Come again, you coward." Shui Congyue refused to give up.

Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wu Gen slowly stood up. The bones in his body ached as if they were broken. Looking at Shui Congyue with a look of contempt on his face, he said, "Okay, I really have to use my full strength this time."

He sank down and squatted down, his mind meridians were running wildly, and the qi and blood all over his body surged like a roaring wave in his body, striking over and over again the qi orifices that had been difficult to shake in the past.

"Open." Wu Gen raised his fist with his heart raised, stretched out his arms, and said with a ferocious expression, "If it's not enough, open again."

The muscles on his body continued to roll, and there was a clicking sound in his body. This was a sign that the bones could not bear the heavy pressure. "Ouch." Wu Gen roared in a voice that was not like a human voice. He raised his head high, his eyes were red, and his neck exploded.

Veins appeared.

The surrounding air flow was turbulent, constantly rotating and rolling around his body, bringing up the leaves and gravel around him. Suddenly, the turbulence suddenly stopped, Wu Gen slowly lowered his head, staring at Shui Congyue standing on the stone like a wild beast, "Triple Cut"

.”

With a bang, Wu Gen's body disappeared, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Shui Congyue, with a fierce look in his eyes, his right elbow raised high, and he hit his face hard.

Shui Congyue's expression became solemn. Wu Gen was coming so fast this time that he couldn't even stand up. He finally felt the threat of death. He caught Wu Gen's elbow with his left hand, pulled it behind him, and punched hard with his right fist.

His abdomen rushed forward and collided with Wu Gen's sneak attack knee.

Before Wu Gen could change his move, Shui Congyue twisted his left hand, flew up with his right foot, and kicked Wu Gen.

Just like the first move, Wu Gen fell heavily to the ground, gravel flew everywhere when he landed, and a large human-shaped pit appeared on the ground.

Lying in the pit, Wu Gen gasped for air, his chest heaved rapidly, and blood gurgled out of his mouth and nose.

"Yes, I have made some progress, but it is not enough. Wu Gen, I know that you always value love and justice and don't want to compromise the brothers around you. But with this little ability, let's forget it. It will harm our brothers instead. It's better to be honest

Marry a wife and take care of the baby at home.

It's a joke to break the wall ahead, you can only stay here forever, you are not even qualified to be a bandit." Shui Congyue sneered, the stone under his feet had turned into powder under that blow.

"I am the one who wants to be the leader of the village, Shui Congyue, you should die." Wu Gen's roar came from the ground, and the true energy rushed wildly in the body, rushing towards the acupuncture points that were not recorded in the Yi Jing.

The ground shook rhythmically, as if there was a huge heart beating underground. The surrounding rocks gradually cracked, and the rubble fell. Some flew into the air, colliding with each other and making a dull collision sound, and some rolled towards the distance, as if

Pushed away by an invisible force.

Suddenly, Wu Gen's figure flew up from the pit, his hair wildly dancing, his clothes were already in tatters, and his whole body was bright red. Blood drops fell but then shot away in all directions in an instant.

"Transform it into a slash." Wu Gen ran toward Shui Cong Yue and punched out with a powerful momentum, pressing down like a mountain.

"Good boxing skills." Shui Congyue didn't dare to be careless anymore. He took a step back and met him with his fist.

There was a roar of thunder, a howling wind at the intersection of the fists, and flying sand and rocks all around, covering up the situation. With a thud, Shui appeared from Yue's figure and took three steps back. His face was a little ugly. It took him a long time to calm down before suppressing the irritation in his chest.
