Chapter 97
The little shoemaker was so frightened that he quickly hid the shoe of his sweetheart, but he was targeted by the robber, and the younger robber insisted on the shoe.To this, the little shoemaker hugged tightly and said, "If you want shoes, you will die."

The two robbers fought him decisively.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Ji Ming appeared, sat next to the old man, and asked, "Old man, where are you going by boat this time?"

"When I go back to my hometown, I'm old. I always think about the place where I was born. If I don't go back and have a look, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go back in the future." The old man said casually.Ji Ming smiled when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true, you might be able to ascend to immortality in the next second, and live forever!"

While speaking, he looked at the old man carefully, and found that he was already dying.

This old man's cultivation level is very high, it can even be said to be ridiculously high: he is almost completely integrated with the sky and the earth, and the whole person sits there, as unfathomable as the sea-this is not an ordinary bridge between heaven and earth, but The Bridge of Heaven and Earth goes a step further, a whole new realm.

However, Jindan is the right way of martial arts!
The old man pushed the bridge of heaven and earth to the realm of "unity of man and nature", which seemed to be a step closer, but in fact he cut himself off.

The strength of the Martial Dao Golden Elixir is not about strength, but after the internal force is solidified, the person is almost no longer affected by the years, and can achieve a state of pseudo-longevity.That is to say, as long as the skill is not exhausted and there is no fatal internal injury, a strong person in the golden core realm of martial arts is immortal.

But the old man in front of him is different, he is too powerful, he is no longer in the world, and his life span is not as good as that of ordinary warriors.

If he is allowed to grow, sooner or later, his existence will affect the operation of the heaven and the earth, and then collapse the whole world.In other words, his "unity of man and nature" is similar to destructive devouring, once it reaches a certain level, it will destroy the whole world.

Therefore, he was condemned by heaven, and his life was not long.

"No chance. When I was young, I was eager to break through and hurt my own foundation. Now I have run out of fuel." The old man shook his head and said, "My internal force will never be transformed into a golden core. Maybe there is a way You can let me live, but people are useless, what's the point of living?"

Having said that, he sighed.

Seeing this, Ji Ming said, "If you don't mind, old man, can you tell me your story?"

"What can't I talk about?" The old man smiled slightly and said, "It's been too long, and I have forgotten many things. If you want to hear it, the old man will tell you something about the time when I was an official." Bar!"

Maybe he didn't want the world to forget him completely, or because he could talk to Ji Ming, he actually talked about his own experience.

"When I was young, I studied hard for decades, and finally won the first prize in an imperial examination." The old man recalled and murmured: "I was over 50 years old at that time, and the emperor sent me to practice Taoism. I studied every single word, and unexpectedly, I practiced a peerless martial art."

Having said that, he stretched out his hand and popped out a peanut, helping the little shoemaker defeat the two robbers.

Then, he said: "At that time, Mingjiao had just been introduced to China, and the emperor ordered me to go and destroy Mingjiao. Unexpectedly, among the followers of Mingjiao, there were indeed many masters of martial arts, and all the followers of Mingjiao fought desperately. It’s not like the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who are so greedy for life and afraid of death that we have fought several battles, but we have never won a single one.”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Ming was completely sure of the old man's identity, while Wang Chongyang's eyes widened in shock.

"Then, senior, you personally challenged the masters of the Ming Cult and killed several dharma kings and envoys in one go, didn't you?" Wang Chongyang asked.

"En." The old man nodded.

"This old man was so powerful when he was young?" The little shoemaker came over and asked in surprise.

Immediately, Wang Chongyang shook his head and said, "It wasn't when I was young. I heard from my master that the old man was nearly 70 years old when he was fighting against the masters of the Mingjiao. Melon split jujube, killing it is a pleasure."

Wang Chongyang is also a member of Taoism, so he has a natural dislike for Mingjiao.

"No, the old man had only practiced martial arts for a few years at that time, and he was far from having such profound internal strength." The old man shook his head and said, "There were a few dharma kings at that time, and their martial arts were actually not inferior to the old man, but they underestimated' Daozang's mystery, so that all died tragically in my hands."

"It's only been a few years of practice?" The little shoemaker asked in surprise.

"It's not that great. Although the old man defeated many of their masters at that time, they were outnumbered after all. In the end, they were defeated and fled." The old man sighed and said, "Who would have thought that they were full of Jianghu rules, But I didn’t obey the rules, and killed my wife, children, and children.”

Hearing this, the little Taoist also sighed.

But the little shoemaker, who didn't know the dangers of the world, was so frightened that he gasped.

"For revenge, I even gave up the 'Jindan Avenue' leading to longevity, but who ever thought that when I came out, it had been 40 years, even if I had an invincible martial arts, who would I seek revenge from?" Go?" The old man sighed again when he said this.

Seeing this, the little shoemaker said, "Old man, people don't live for hatred, you should think of something happy."

"Young man, you have good comprehension." The old man nodded to the shoemaker and said appreciatively, "You can become a master of martial arts in the future, just because you can think about it so well."

Hearing this, the little Taoist immediately asked, "What about me?"

"Your aptitude is mediocre, and whether you can achieve something depends on your own efforts and opportunities." The old man said.

"You are different from me. I have learned flying swords before." said the little shoemaker.

"After I let go of my hatred, I concentrated on practicing martial arts. At the same time, I recorded what I had learned all my life and wrote it into a book called "Nine Yin Manuals." As the old man said, he took out a cheat book from his pocket and handed it to the shoemaker, saying: "Son, don't practice the martial arts in those comic strips. This is a real martial arts secret book. You can practice it well and you will become a master in a short time."

Although the martial arts practiced by the little shoemaker in the past was somewhat sophisticated, the old man took it as a fake because he played too hard.

"Those who have a picture can never forget it, but those who don't have a picture will be sleepy." The little shoemaker took it over and looked it over, and then threw it to the little Taoist priest.Regarding this, the old man couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and said: "Forget it, everyone has his own ambitions, little Taoist priest, it is your chance to get this "Nine Yin Manual", you should practice hard, don't ruin the reputation of the old Taoist Huang Chang! "

This old man is the founder of the "Nine Yin Scriptures", a generation of strange people Huang Chang!
"I really know how to fly swords..." the little shoemaker was suddenly taken aback as he spoke.

It wasn't until then that he realized that his master, Ji Ming, had also come to the boat at some point.

"I used to sit and discuss Taoism with Zhuangzi, and I went to the battlefield with Guan Yunchang, I competed with Xiao Feng, and taught Xu Zhu martial arts." Ji Ming smiled slightly, and said to Huang Chang: "Time does not leave a trace on me, Little old man, I have the 'Avenue of Eternal Life' here, do you want it?"
