Spring birds flit among the lush green leaves of varying shades,
The sound of beating leaves through the forest makes the island more tranquil.
The study in the middle of the lake,
Xia Ji sat cross-legged under the eaves.
The courtyard outside the house is quiet and peaceful, with seventy-one disciples sitting on seventy-one futons.
The sunlight passes through the broken leaves and casts mottled golden light of different sizes on coins or washbasins. With the rustling wind, the light and shadow are constantly moving.
Xia Ji is preaching.
What he gave to the people of the world was one image made up of all dharmas, but now he has six images, so he is teaching it to his disciples, and they can understand as much as they can.
Teaching is mutual learning, and when he teaches, he is also deepening his understanding.
Time passed by unconsciously, and soon it was dusk.
The disciples stood up and were about to leave when Xia Ji suddenly said: "After listening to this article, it's time for you to look for your own life.
Those who want to bear my name must also bear my karma. The weight of my karma is beyond your imagination. "
After saying that, he saw a disciple coming out and was about to say something, so he raised his hand and said, "Don't think that your senior brother, junior sister, Nian Ying, Qiongfeng and the others recognized me outside, so that's why pressure,
He felt that not accepting the title of teacher would be disloyal and unfilial.
In fact, my teacher doesn’t want you to do this.
All I want to see is that you live in peace. "
He may have had other thoughts at first,
Thinking about raising such a group of children and using them for their own use later,
But now, he has changed his mind.
When you reach a certain level, strength or weakness is not measured by the number of people.
Xia Ji continued: "You have such skills, you are enough to run rampant in the world, and it is not necessarily difficult to become the overlord of a party. As long as you practice hard and grow normally in this fire disaster, you can survive these five hundred years. Arrive at the next minor epoch.
You should take this kind of life as your goal, rather than being bound to your teacher. Don't say that you share your worries with your teacher. You can't separate them now.
If you really want to do it, wait until you have enough strength in the future to do it. "
Xu Lingling raised her hand, "Teacher, teacher."
Xia Ji smiled and said, "Lingling, have you grown taller again?"
Xu Lingling said: "Na na na, I'm only thirty centimeters taller."
Xia Ji said: "Almost 2.8 meters tall, right?"
Xu Lingling nodded, tilted her head, and said innocently: "Teacher, who is your enemy?"
As soon as she asked this question, all the disciples hurriedly listened.
Xia Ji looked at these expectant and sincere eyes. He knew that no matter what he said, these children would regard what he said as their enemies from now on, and it would be their duty to kill these enemies.
So, he pondered for a while and said, "Fire Demon."
All the disciples were stunned.
Xia Ji continued: "Go out and work for a few years. When you feel a little more stable, go kill the fire demon."
Xu Lingling said directly: "Teacher, you are lying. The purpose of killing the fire demon is to improve the realm. It is to achieve the unification of the eight meridians and then break the mortal life wheel."
Xia Ji ignored her and said loudly: "Don't let me die easily. If you die in the hands of an unknown person, don't say that you are a disciple of your master when you go to hell."
Xu Lingling blinked, took a deep breath, and pretended that she would ask "who is the teacher's enemy" today, but before she opened her mouth, Xia Ji directly scolded: "Xu Lingling!"
The second senior sister's huge body trembled, and she suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Xia Jidao: "After listening to the sermon, you should leave Jinghu Lake."
The second senior sister turned her head away, as if she was a little hurt, "Master, I... was wrong..."
Xia Jidao: "You are not allowed to bear my name. If you leave Jinghu Lake, you will kill the fire demon for me. If you are blocked from the eight meridians, I will treat you as a teacher and expel you from the school."
Xu Lingling was stunned.
She naturally knew what the teacher meant, but she also felt an inexplicable pain.
Thousands of words gathered in my mind.
Finally, it turned into a sentence: "A hundred years later, Lingling returns to Jinghu Lake and bows to the teacher again. No matter who the teacher's enemy is, I am willing to take over this cause and effect."
She meant to remind Xia Ji not to give up hope, but to break through the eleventh realm and live longer than a mortal.
…
…
The time for preaching the last chapter passed after half a month.
The spring light of May fell on Xu Lingling's huge and oppressive body.
She bowed three times to the man in the study.
Xia Ji handed over a book of exercises that he had written long ago.
The skills fell beside Xu Lingling. She turned through a few pages. The skills on each page were completely specific to her. It could be said that the fit was 100%.
This is a technique that is extremely powerful when used by Xu Lingling, but weak when used by others.
"Thank you teacher."
Second Senior Sister bowed deeply and was about to leave when a thin man suddenly walked out and said: "Senior...Senior Sister, can I still be with you?"
The man who spoke was Pang Yi, who was ranked second to last. He was considered a junior, and he was a bit timid. He had partnered with Xu Lingling for a year before.
The second senior sister glanced at him and said, "Waiting for you."
Pang Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly went over to kowtow to the teacher and say goodbye.
Xia Ji looked at this scene with a smile. The friendship between fellow students was what he wanted to see, so he gave Pang Yi the skill and then watched him and Xu Lingling leave.
As the two left, other disciples gradually came over to say goodbye.
Most of them also say farewell to each other, and it is obvious that they have developed a kindred spirit in their previous partnership operations.
Xia Ji distributed the "customized exercises" he had written long ago to them one by one.
…
…
Another half month later.
Jinghu Lake is already empty. Except for Xia Ji, there are less than ten people left.
"Chuixue, Qiongfeng, Yingying..."
Xia Ji read the names of his disciples one by one, and then said with a smile: "If you want to break free from the wheel of mortal life, go to the north. Otherwise, go to another place to establish your merits. Now is the time."
None of these disciples wanted to leave, but they knew they had to leave.
Nian Ying said: "Master, won't you go to the north? If master goes... I will be with you. If master doesn't go, I will serve you forever."
"Teacher has his own arrangements," Xia Jida said, "Yingying, you should have your own life. Go ahead."
"teacher… "
"As a teacher, I have accumulated a lot of experience. If I can break through the eleven realms, open the Dharma orifice, and open the eight meridians, I might be able to complete it in a day or night. If you are really serious, just work hard to become stronger and try to live for five hundred years. Don't do it. I asked the white-haired person to send the black-haired person as my master."
Nian Ying suddenly started crying.
Zhao Yange went to pull her and called "senior sister" softly.
But Nian Ying was like a little girl, kneeling there and crying non-stop.
Xia Ji stood up and walked to Nian Ying, touched her long and smooth hair, and said softly: "Believe me, my teacher will not point you to the wrong path, nor will I let you down.
It only takes a few decades to break through the mortal life wheel, and it will take a hundred years to break through, two hundred years, or even five hundred years to meet again. If you can't break through, how can you serve? "
Nian Ying sobbed: "You are lying. You obviously want us to practice in peace and make breakthroughs, but you have already given up. You just want to deceive us."
Xia Ji wiped away her tears with the back of his hand and said gently: "I swear."
Nian Ying's eyes turned red.
Xie Qiongfeng on the side said: "Junior sister, I believe in Master. Master is a scholar of heaven and man. If he cannot live for five hundred years, who can do it?"
Feng Chuixue nodded, "I also believe in Master."
Xia Ji waved his hand again: "Yan Ge, you are the last one among my many disciples, but winning or losing is not just about face-to-face strength. My master has written a book on the Assassin's Way for you. You should study hard.
After you go out, follow your senior brother. "
Zhao Yange knew what the teacher meant. Although the senior brother was powerful, he was really short-sighted in some aspects, so she said respectfully: "Disciple, please obey the teacher's orders."
Xia Ji said: "Let's all go."
Nian Ying stood up with sobs and walked to the courtyard. Suddenly she turned back and choked with sobs: "Teacher can't lie, right?"
Xia Ji said: "I won't lie to you."
He cast his eyes on the disciple who stayed in the courtyard at the end, "Fubixue, do you have anything else to ask?"
Feng Chui Xue said: "I... would like to ask the teacher, what is the strongest?"
He has been thinking about it for a long time but can't find the answer.
Xia Ji said: "Fate."
"Destiny?" Feng Chuixue pondered for a moment, but still didn't understand, "If destiny is the strongest, then what's the point of working hard? If someone inherits destiny, isn't he the strongest? Then what's the point of our efforts?"
Xia Ji smiled: "If I reveal the answer to you now, you will hate me in the future.
This is my gift to you. When you can find the answer one day, I believe you will be at a high place.
As a teacher, I look forward to that day. "
…
…
Plop.
A spiritual fruit fell into the lake, splashing crystal water.
The sound broke the silence of the manor.
Immediately afterwards, a golden-red figure happily swam out from the bottom of the lake, bit the spiritual fruit, and then swayed back and forth in the water, as if doing a belly dance to thank Xia Ji.
Xia Ji sat cross-legged by the lake and said to the golden-red fish as if talking to someone: "Not long after, I may have to go far away and won't come back for a long, long time.
I'll take you to the East China Sea, a bigger world, okay? "
The little fish was stunned, looked at him blankly for a long time, and swam over.
Xia Ji put his hand into the water, and the little fish twisted against the back of his hand a few times, slippery and cold.
Xia Ji smiled and said, "Can't bear to part with you?"
The little fish man stood upright in the lake in a humane manner and patted his body, which was a nod.
Xia Jidao: "You are a psychic. Since you are destined, I will give you a chance."
As he spoke, he swung out a fish tank from his sleeve, sucked in with his right hand, and sucked the entire lake water and small fish into the fish tank.
The fish twisted its body, blew bubbles from its mouth, and kept rushing towards the direction of the lake, seeming to be expressing something.
Xia Ji looked at it for a while and asked tentatively: "Are you going to get something?"
The fish nodded quickly.
Xia Ji curiously put the fish back into the lake.
The little golden-red fish got into the water, and soon there was a small bracelet made of three red beads hanging on the fish, and it emerged from the lake water, seeming to say "I'm ready."
Xia Ji couldn't help laughing and lowered the fish tank.
As soon as the fish hit the lake water, the whole fish flew out and accurately shot into the fish tank.
Xia Ji held the fish tank and came to the martial arts hall.
In the center of the hall, the purple magic fire of the crystal ball has not been extinguished, and in the center is burning pure black magic flame.
Xia Ji placed the fish tank in the corner of the martial arts hall and put in thirty spiritual fruits. "The quagmire can't raise a Kunpeng, and the river can't raise a giant dragon. In one month, I will take you to the East China Sea. If you and I are destined, See you again in the future.”
Xiaoyu suddenly moved forward, pressed his mouth against the glass, and looked at him quietly with his eyes.
Xia Ji said: "I will pick you up in a month. Now I have something to do."
He wanted to finish some things he had owed.
First things first…
In the moonlight.
He walked into the underworld transfer station.
Three days ago, Ji Xuan gave him a message: Yinjun went to the north.
Nowadays, there is only one purpose for going to the north, and that is to kill the fire demon and obtain fire.
Xia Ji remembered that he still owed a promise. He once said before Gu Chen died, "Waiting for the Qingming Festival, I will bring her to visit your grave." Now is the time to fulfill this promise.
…
…
The burned northland has no four seasons.
late at night.
Wu Ji walked on this land without seasons, holding a short knife in her hand and looking around cautiously.
The appearance of fire monsters is easy to detect. First, there will be a rush of hot wind, and then the air in one area will be distorted due to toxins and high temperature. Then you will see various fire beasts and fire monsters. So, keep an eye on it. It is very necessary to have four ears to listen to all directions.
But in recent years, the family has received news that a terrifying invisible fire demon seems to have appeared in the depths of the North. These fire demons will even control their own temperature, quietly dormant behind you and then reappear, but when you encounter this kind of fire demon The probability is very small.
Therefore, although Wu Ji is already at the eleventh level of the Dharma Aperture Realm, she is still very cautious.
She had a stunning appearance, and she was once the most beautiful girl in the Dashang royal family. Now, although her stunning face was hidden under the Houtu mask, it was still only a little pale, but there were no other changes.
Women will always care about how they look.
Wu Ji is no exception.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang! !
Suddenly there was a rhythmic sound in the distance, like the sound of war drums.
Wu Ji showed a vigilant look and quietly hid behind a hot boulder.
Not long after, the target appeared. It turned out to be a giant elephant-like fire demon burning with purple flames. The "bang bang" sound was the movement caused by its elephant hooves stepping on the ground.
Wu Ji carefully observed that the fire monsters burning purple smoke usually walked alone, and any ordinary fire monsters that came close to them would be devoured.
As time goes by, they become stronger and stronger and become very dangerous, but such fire monsters are the best training targets.
Wu Ji scanned the area with her spiritual consciousness, and after confirming that there were no other fire demons, she rushed out resolutely.
When the purple flame elephant saw its prey, it swung its hooves without saying a word, and rushed forward like a gun, with flames billowing as it stepped.
Wu Ji is not afraid.
Although the robbery land is the home of the fire demon, the night is also her home.
She tried to swing a knife, and the knife energy cut forward and hit the fire elephant, making a dull sound of gold and iron.
She then swung the sword violently, and the magic image produced by this sword turned into a black evil shadow in mid-air and struck the fire elephant.
An extremely small crack appeared on the fire elephant's skin. As soon as it appeared, it was covered by purple fire and closed instantly.
At this time, the fire elephant had already rushed in front of her, and the high temperature and fire poison rushed towards her face, making her vitality sticky and her blood almost boiling.
Wu Ji hurriedly stepped towards the shadow on one side.
Whoosh!
Her figure immediately disappeared from the spot, and in the dark trajectory, she arrived in another shadow hundreds of meters away.
