Longevity begins with a proud smile

Zhou Zhiruo was separated from Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhao Min that day, and she felt like a lost sheep wandering on the wrong path.Lonely and helpless, a vague feeling hit my chest, and my heart was at a loss.

There seems to be countless loneliness that cannot be dismissed.

She dragged her heavy footsteps up a mountain, then down the mountain, then over a mountain stream, and then into a pine forest...

Unknowingly, after walking a long way, a gust of autumn wind blew past her hair, cooling her down.

Looking up at the sky, the beautiful sun has turned to the west, and there is sweat on the temples on my forehead. I stretched out my hand to wipe the sweat, and sat down on a rock.

She was still confused in her heart. She felt a little nostalgic about her departure and the people she spent day and night with, but when she thought about it, it was vague and unfounded.

Suddenly, a terrible thought passed through her mind: "Has God already abandoned me?"

All kinds of past events can't help but flow through her mind: her mother, the Xue family, came from an aristocratic family and was originally from Xiangyang. After the city of Xiangyang was destroyed, she fled south and became helpless. She married her father, but died early.

The father was just a boatman in the Han River and did not know any martial arts. As a result, Chang Yuchun took Zhou Ziwang's son to escape, which actually caused his father's death.

Fortunately, he was recommended by Zhang Zhenren, who took Zhang Wuji to Shaolin to seek medical treatment but failed. He studied martial arts hard in the Emei sect. The master said that he was extremely talented, which made many senior sisters jealous. Not really outstanding.

Then she went west to conquer the Mingjiao, first letting her reunite with Zhang Wuji, but then letting him stand up to protect the Mingjiao and become an enemy of the master. His adoptive father even had a grudge against the master to kill his brother;
Later, he was captured by Zhao Min and then met Zhuo Lingfeng. Knowing that he didn't like her, the master still insisted on following him. Even at this point, God refused to give up. Chen Youliang came out and gave him an aphrodisiac. .

People in the world even said that she was having an affair with Zhuo Lingfeng.

When others hear this, they may not necessarily believe it, but they are inevitably a little suspicious.Because of this kind of selfishness between men and women, ordinary people would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn’t exist.

The most irritating thing is that she didn't know when she was particularly concerned about Zhuo Lingfeng's thoughts. When she saw others being disrespectful to him, she always felt an uncontrollable anger.

However, she couldn't help but think of Zhang Wuji. Although she and Zhang Wuji didn't express their affection for each other, everyone felt that he had feelings for her and that they were interested in him when they were at Guangmingding.

She also thought about being like her master, becoming a nun and no longer thinking about these love affairs, but she couldn't let go of it in her heart.

But what made her most devastated was that she knew a huge secret.

This secret is incredible, yet earth-shattering.

Because she was on the boat that day and overheard part of the conversation between Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhao Min.

She knew that Zhuo Lingfeng was not an ordinary person. To be precise, he was not from this world. He was a person from outside the world, a person who had the hope of pursuing eternal life.

Her heart was confused and changed at that moment, and she was even more painful. She could only try her best to hide it so that no one would notice it.

Because she knew that for Zhuo Lingfeng, this secret was enough to make him kill and silence him.

Because once the world knows this secret, it will be ten times more tempting than the Nine Yin Manual and other martial arts secret books.

However, she thought of what Zhao Min said, if you live forever, you might not be able to take me with you, and her heart moved like never before.

However, whether this heartbeat is because of the person or the temptation, Zhou Zhiruo thought for a long time and still had no decision.

Until she heard that the cause of the Beggar Clan's dispute with Kunlun and Shaolin was the incident involving her and Zhuo Lingfeng's ship, she felt that these people were gloating over her misfortune when she was in pain and entanglement, just like a group of shameless onlookers, so she insisted on starting the fight. provocation.

He wanted to use this to test whether Zhuo Lingfeng had any affection for him, but in the end he said "No wonder people don't want you!"

The more Zhou Zhiruo thought about it, the angrier she became, but after the anger passed, she became confused again: "Who is that person?
Zhang Wuji?

It seems that even without Zhuo Lingfeng, Zhang Wuji still didn't want me. So what if I have great looks?So what if you are born smart?
Even though I am a unique woman in the world, I have neither the ability to save my relatives nor the ability to win my sweetheart, and I am even more unbearable about my future fate. "

In an instant, she was disheartened, lying on the stone, tears streaming down her cheeks, and burst into tears. As she cried, she fell asleep. She didn't know how long she lay there, but when she woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Zhou Zhiruo stumbled into a stream and drank some spring water, sobering up a little. However, when she saw her reflection in the water, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, but she still looked good.

But then I thought about whether my appearance was good or bad for me.

She knew in her heart that this appearance made her popular among men, but women were naturally envious and jealous. Her senior sister targeted her because of her beauty!
But this beauty is not unique and cannot make any man bow down. Zhang Wuji doesn't want me, Zhuo Lingfeng avoids me like a snake and a scorpion. The only one who can see it is Song Qingshu, but he died early!
Thinking of this, she felt that God was making a joke on her, and she couldn't help but cry bitterly.

She was crying sadly, and a long burst of laughter came through the air. As soon as the laughter stopped, an energetic voice sounded: "This girl is crying, it is really sad to hear it and shed tears to the listener!"

Zhou Zhiruo heard the roar of the wind and turned around to see a young man in a blue shirt with a long sword standing in front of him.

His martial arts skills are pretty good, but unfortunately he has a deer-like head and rat-like eyes. He is born with a sinister look and is a character that makes people feel sick just by looking at him.

Zhou Zhiruo squeezed out the word "go" coldly.

The lustful cheeks of the blue-shirted young man immediately changed color, and he said with a smile: "Little lady..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zhiruo shouted and rushed forward.

"court death!"

As soon as the sound came out, a strong wind surged up, and a white jade-like palm clasped towards the blue-shirted young man's throat.

The young man in blue shirt was carrying a long sword and was naturally a martial artist. He laughed and said, "Little girl, why bother..."

Before he could say anything, he was startled. One hand reached out, and the other hand was eager to draw the sword. However, Zhou Zhiruo's body was as light as cotton wool. She reached out and grabbed his face, spun around in the air, and landed lightly on the ground. on the ground.

At the same time, the young man in blue shirt didn't even give his name, but his face was covered with blood and he died on the spot.

Zhou Zhiruo looked back and was suddenly stunned.

It turned out that she did not expect that her claws, as if flowing like clouds and flowing water, would actually kill a master with strong martial arts skills.

Zhou Zhiruo was stunned for a long time, and a thought flashed through her mind: "Whether you, Zhou Zhiruo, or this man in a blue shirt, standing between heaven and earth, is really no different from a mote of dust.

Even though Zhuo Lingfeng is an extraterrestrial person who cannot do as he pleases and is deeply troubled by emotions. Doesn't he have parents? Does everything go well for him?
What you call a life of ups and downs, and the gods playing tricks on people, is actually just a matter of course, just like the passing of spring and the coming of autumn. Why do you have to be so sentimental?
I have a small body, and it is a gift from God to learn martial arts with such appearance. So it is natural for me to lose something, so why should I blame God and others? "

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiruo's mind had a great change. She saw that the lush branches were full of dead leaves and dead branches. The man in blue shirt lay dead on the ground, but he was in his prime and full of skills.

Right here and now, it shows the laws of life and death, the rise and fall, and the endless cycle of operation.

In an instant, Zhou Zhiruo felt that the entanglement of love and hate, the intertwining of grievances and grudges were nothing more than the movement of heaven and earth.

Why should I be persistent when I am a mere mortal? Just let nature take its course.

At this moment, I should go to the Heroes Conference to show off my skills, rather than feeling sorry for myself here!
With this thought, Zhou Zhiruo immediately headed towards Butterfly Valley.

This heroes conference was held in the name of the Beggar Clan, and Zhuo Lingfeng naturally became the topic of conversation.Since his debut, his impressive feats in the martial arts world are certainly a cliché, but his love affair with Zhou Zhiruo has become even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As Kunlun disciples and Shaolin disciples learned more about the inside story, almost everyone said that Zhuo Lingfeng did it on purpose, because no one would believe that Chen Youliang, a Shaolin lay disciple, could manipulate Zhuo Lingfeng. !

As one of the most intelligent people in the world, Zhou Zhiruo also knew that she could not hide the public's opinions. No matter what she did, it would not help her reputation. Moreover, her loneliness and anger had been vented, so naturally she did not bother to kill anyone for it!
However, beauty always brings trouble to women.

Because most of the people who chatted with her on the road, she didn't care who they were, whether they were bad guys or good guys, she would kill them all!
Because after she figured out how the world works, she understood that what was right and wrong, good and evil, were all relative, so as long as it made her unhappy, that would be the right way to die!

As for the reputation of any sect, I don't care at all.

Because as far as heaven and earth are concerned, what is the difference between the so-called Emei sect and individuals? Aren’t they all just dust?

Until he met Ouyang Muzhi, an old pervert, and also met Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhao Min.

After she saw Zhuo Lingfeng, she was still upset and couldn't calm down for a long time, so she didn't want to talk to him.After hearing Zhao Min's words of "burning bridges across the river", he could only stop, curled his lips, and said coldly: "Are you two here to get paid?"

Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly said: "Miss Zhou..."

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly said coldly: "Who is you, Miss Zhou?"

Zhuo Lingfeng was slightly startled by her rebuttal, and said with a smile: "If I don't call you Miss Zhou, why would I call you?" Zhou Zhiruo hummed and said, "My name is Zhou Zhiruo, just call me by my name."

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said: "If you call it that, wouldn't it be annoying?"

Zhou Zhiruo said: "Don't we have different identities?"

After a pause, he continued: "Zhou Zhiruo just received a helping hand, so I would like to thank you for that."

Zhuo Lingfeng was very embarrassed and said, "You don't have to be polite about these little things."

At this point, he cupped his hands and said, "Girl, you know, that day I was in a hurry and spoke indiscriminately. I said the wrong thing and made you angry. However, you have a lot of money, so please forgive me."

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly remembered what he said that day, "No wonder people don't want you." Then she thought that he was not from this world, and her thoughts were filled with thoughts.

Zhuo Lingfeng saw Zhou Zhiruo staring at him in confusion, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Zhou, you...?"

Zhou Zhiruo's thoughts turned around, her face turned red, she turned away and whispered: "Who told you to call me Miss Zhou!"

Zhao Min snorted: "Then I want to recognize you as my sister and call you Zhiruo, but you won't allow it!"

Zhou Zhiruo also hummed: "Whoever wants to be his sister, I have already told you that I, Zhou Zhiruo, will die and my life and death will be determined by God!"

At this point, she hesitated to speak, but suddenly thought of some rumors she heard on the road, vividly describing the incident between her and Zhuo Lingfeng, her eyes reddened, and tears came to her eyes.

Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhao Min looked at each other, and Zhuo Lingfeng whispered: "Miss Zhou, it was indeed my fault that day. I apologize to you. If you don't want to forgive, you can hate me.

But when you arrive at Butterfly Valley, if there is a martial arts competition, you'd better not participate. Please listen to these words! "

He knew that Zhou Zhiruo's current martial arts skills were just a miracle, and it would take a few years to settle down. If he took action at the Heroes Conference, people would inevitably recognize his true identity. She could not afford the reputation of the Nine Yin Manual.

In the original trajectory, the two elders Xuan Ming attacked her. If Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min hadn't happened to come to the rescue, she would have been in trouble!
Now that Zhao Min is with him, it is hard to say whether Zhang Wuji can be such a coincidence.

Zhuo Lingfeng said, cupping his hands and saying, "That's all, you can take care of yourself, and we'll say goodbye!" He pulled Zhao Min up and left.

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly became angry, shook her sleeves fiercely, and said angrily: "Now that we have entered Baoshan, how can we come back empty-handed? Why don't you want me to participate in the action? Can't I make a name for myself?"

She couldn't get love, and as a result, Zhuo Lingfeng even had her career in the world cut off.

I was so angry that I suddenly sat on the ground, hugged my knees and cried loudly.

This scene and emotion were like a desolate and moving picture. Although Zhuo Lingfeng had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and experienced the joys and sorrows of life, he was still stunned. Moreover, when he saw Zhou Zhiruo like this, he felt extremely unhappy for some reason. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Min.

Zhao Min rolled his eyes sideways, looked at Zhuo Lingfeng and said with an angry smile: "Okay! You are so full of thoughts that you don't want to say it directly, but I asked you to solve the problem for me. Tell me, what do you have in mind? Heart?"

Zhuo Lingfeng was stunned, then smiled and said, "I really don't understand what my daughter's family is thinking. I..." He winked.

Zhao Min stared at him with red eyes. Although she was cunning and eccentric, and she had some prejudice against Zhou Zhiruo, she knew her husband's thoughts and was extremely sympathetic to Zhou Zhiruo's experience.After all, she often heard people spreading rumors about the two of them.Even the postures of the two people were described in a vulgar and shameless manner.

At this time, he walked up to her side, patted her shoulder, and said quietly: "You, you look very smart on weekdays, but once something happens, you become confused!
In this hero's conference, your martial arts can indeed show off your abilities, but there are people who are better than others, and the outcome is unpredictable. Let's not mention it. Even if you can surpass the heroes with your skills, people who are interested will definitely see the clues.

The "Nine Yin Manual" has such a great reputation. It was so bloody in the past that the Five Jue Swordsmanship was discussed.Your current martial arts skills are not invincible. There will definitely be masters who will attack you regardless of face. If something happens to you and your master, how will you let him deal with it? "

Zhuo Lingfeng came over and said, "Okay, madam, I really like your understanding and righteousness."

He really didn't tell Zhao Min about the incident in Far Track, where Zhou Zhiruo was targeted by the two elders Xuan Ming after showing off her martial arts skills.

Then he said to Zhou Zhiruo: "The Heroes Conference has not been held for a hundred years since Daxia Guo. I don't know how many masters of latent cultivation will come out this time. The lineup must be extraordinary.

Your current martial arts is just a fantasy, and your internal strength and combat experience cannot be achieved overnight. You should practice hard for three to five years, and then your world will be yours.

This is called making a fortune by simmering the sound! "

At this time, Zhou Zhiruo also realized that Zhuo Lingfeng was thinking about herself, and her heart softened, so she wiped her tears, raised her head suddenly, swung her hair back, opened her beautiful eyes, and said, "It's not that I don't understand you. It's for my own good. But you have manipulated my life, do you understand? You can see my destiny clearly, but I can't, do you understand?"

Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but frown.

Seeing his confused look, Zhou Zhiruo felt a little relieved. She wanted to smile, but she couldn't. She stood up suddenly, calmed down and said slowly: "Actually, I don't hate you when you scolded me that day. "

Zhao Min said: "If you don't hate him, why are you crying?"

Zhou Zhiruo gave her a fierce look and said loudly: "I am born to cry, can't I?"

When Zhuo Lingfeng heard this, he couldn't help being shocked. Zhao Min had said this to him a while ago. At this moment, he felt a soft finger digging into his palm. It was Zhao Min beside him.

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "That's the truth. Your daughter's family loves to cry!"

Zhao Min said angrily: "Who loves to cry? How dare you say that to me!" As he spoke, he punched out his fists, and raindrops seemed to fall on Zhuo Lingfeng, cursing: "We cry, aren't we all because of you stinky men! "

Zhuo Lingfeng channeled his inner strength just right and let her beat him, saying with a grimace: "There is no way. Who asked Nuwa to create a man but to create a man? If only there were women, that would be fine!"

Zhou Zhiruo looked at the two of them, feeling sad in her heart: "Why is he so nice to her? Oh, why doesn't anyone treat me like this?"

Her heart was as chaotic as soft silk, and she turned a thousand times. Suddenly her eyes became hot and she shed tears. At this time, she was afraid of being seen by the two people. She turned around, took a few steps, and suddenly said: "Follow me, I have I want to say a few words to you alone." After that, he walked away.

Zhuo Lingfeng looked at Zhao Min, who said: "Go, can I still prevent you from going?"

Zhuo Lingfeng hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll go and come back quickly!"

Suddenly seeing Zhao Min's strange eyes, his cheeks immediately felt hot, but he still followed Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo had figured out their temperaments and knew that they wanted to make her feel at ease. Zhuo Lingfeng was aboveboard, while Zhao Min was arrogant. Therefore, at this juncture, they wanted to talk to Zhuo Lingfeng alone, and neither of them would refuse. .

When the two reached a secluded place, Zhou Zhiruo said, "I want to ask you something!"

Zhuo Lingfeng asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Zhiruo hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said with embarrassment: "I said this, you have to tell me. I also promise that you know that I know, and I will never tell others."

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I promise to tell you everything!"

Zhou Zhiruo said: "Are you..." At this point, she showed a slightly sad expression, shook her head, and shed tears again.

Zhou Zhiruo originally felt that Zhuo Lingfeng was an outsider. It was unbelievable, and the matter was even more important. Once she lost control, she would increasingly feel that God had played a big joke on her, and she didn't know how to express it.

Zhuo Lingfeng put down Zhao Min and followed her, but he couldn't help but become agitated and said: "You are a person who asks questions but doesn't tell them. You are always crying. If you don't tell me, how can I tell you?"

Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "You, can you really tell me everything?"

Zhuo Lingfeng held his breath and said in a low voice: "Since you are afraid that I won't tell the truth, why are you asking me what I am doing?"

When Zhou Zhiruo saw that he looked kindly to Zhao Min and said nothing to her, but looked impatient, she was inevitably angry. She snorted coldly and said, "You insist on chasing me!"

Zhuo Lingfeng stared at her and said strangely: "If I don't chase you, will I watch you fight all the way to Butterfly Valley?"

Zhou Zhiruo said: "If I offend a master, it would be better if I died. People living in this world will eventually be sad, so what's the point."

Zhuo Lingfeng Ru Zhang Er Jingang couldn't figure it out. He thought Zhou Zhiruo had turned dark and was about to become a powerful figure, and everyone would change his mind after hearing it, so he would actually say this.

He couldn't help but sigh and said: "In life, everyone hopes for gentle years, but who has been spared by these years?
Who is not happy and sad, sometimes confused, sometimes sober, but after thousands of sails, still maintaining kindness and bottom line, this is the greatest meaning of life in the world! "

Zhou Zhiruo was silent for a while, then she straightened her face and said, "Are you a person from outside the world, so you have the ability to predict the unknown?" (End of Chapter)
