Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Beginning of Turmoil
During the time of the 'Smoke Valley', Luo Ping not only endured the scorching sun and the ravages of the wind and sand, but also often swam to the bottom of the waterfall through the river that stretched to the outskirts of the valley to accept the impact of the waterfall.
The width of the waterfall is sixty or seventy meters, and the impact pressure in the center is enough to crush a strong man at the level of a military general, which is an unattainable goal for Luo Ping today.
He can only accept the impact of the waterfall on the periphery of the waterfall now, and even so, it is still like countless boulders pressing down, and it is difficult to move.
Sometimes sit cross-legged, motionless, sometimes face the current, practice fists and feet, one move and one style, weighing more than 10,000 catties, as if the movement has been slowed down several times.
Once he had practiced his fists and kicks at the same speed as usual, he would advance a few more meters into the waterfall to meet the impact of the water with greater intensity.
Luo Ping believes that as long as he persists, he will be able to reach at least 40 meters from the center of the waterfall in nearly half a year.
Although there is still a long distance from the center, Luo Ping is already very satisfied, and the distance of forty meters is estimated to be difficult for a strong person at the peak level of the Great Martial Arts to bear.
He is only in the middle stage of the Great Martial Artist now, and even if he can advance in half a year, it is impossible to reach the strength of the peak level of the Great Martial Artist, which is enough to be proud.
In addition, Luo Ping also has a training program, and it is one of the more dangerous ones, that is, the rattan around the waterfall.
As the saying goes, 'thin rattan entangles the towering tree, and the little ant destroys the Weiran embankment.' ’
Although the rattan is thin, it has a terrifying nature: it is entangled when it encounters objects, and it climbs when it encounters trees.
It is said to be nature, it can also be said to be the instinct of survival, and it can be said to be a spirit, a spirit worthy of learning by all.
No matter how weak its body is, it will always keep climbing upward, and all obstacles cannot stop it from believing to live, even though it can only survive if it is dependent on external objects.
The reason why Luo Ping dared to take this risk was because he had the reliance to save his life, otherwise, he would not act rashly, lest in the end, he would not have practiced martial arts, but put his life on the line.
As long as Luo Ping stops near the liana, within a moment, there will inevitably be rattans slowly climbing up his body, and entwined together, the strength is really not small, and there will always be bruises and blood marks.
At this time, Luo Ping will use all his strength to break free. The rattan is also strong when it is strong, and when it encounters resistance, it will inevitably be wound more tightly, and correspondingly, Luo Ping's pain will also increase.
The two sides are entangled and do not give in to each other, which often lasts for an hour or two. If there are not many rattans and can break free, Luo Ping will try his best to break free, if there are too many rattans, he will take out the 'Oblique Moon Three-Star Sword', cut the rattan, and get out smoothly.
When you are thirsty, you drink spring water, and when you are hungry, you catch some fish and shrimp, roast and eat, or pick some fruit to satisfy your hunger. The life here is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and it is free, which makes Luo Ping intoxicated and does not want to leave.
"No, although life here is comfortable and comfortable, it is not what I want, my goal is to pursue the end of the martial arts, according to the master's instructions, to cultivate the supreme magic method, and finally to pursue a higher realm. Legend has it that once you become an immortal, you can live forever and live with the sky, and I will definitely achieve it. ”

In the imperial capital of Bazhou, in the imperial palace, in a splendid palace, two people were talking in the study.
"Agui, how are things going?"
A young man in his thirties, sitting behind a desk in the study, asked in a cold voice.
In front of the desk, there stood an old man, although his hair was mostly gray, and his face had crawled with wrinkles, but his waist was very straight, and he did not look old.
"Returning to His Royal Highness, this matter is all handed over to Mizhou Taishou to do, according to his letter, he has discussed with the visiting envoy, everything is ready, just wait for an opportunity, you can act. ”
The old man replied respectfully.
It turned out that the young man was His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Fengyuan Country, and the old man was his confidant.
"Very good, tell him that as long as this matter is completed, His Highness will ascend the throne smoothly, and he will never be treated badly. However, if the news is leaked, it will definitely make the nine clans unsafe. ”
The second prince said without emotion.
"Yes, his subordinates will definitely remind him and keep an eye on him. However, Second Highness, will the other party's envoy turn back on his word and turn his face and deny people when the time comes? We'd better make more preparations, just in case. ”
The old man reminded cautiously.
I have been following my master for a long time, and I already know my master's temper well. The old man knew that the second prince did not like the people around him to oppose his opinions and question his decisions, even if he was a confidant, so when he spoke, he was still careful to avoid angering the other party.
"Hahaha! Uncle Gui, are you really brave and resourceless as Your Highness? This king has already prepared his backhand, and it will be foolproof, so you can rest assured!"
The second prince laughed and said, as if everything was under his control.
Although the old man was still a little uneasy when he heard this, he could only say nothing when he saw that the second prince was so confident.
The two talked about some other things before the old man left, leaving only the second prince sitting quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
...............................................................
In the Mizhou state capital, Taishou Pang Hui was dealing with political affairs, and a guard ran to the door to report: "Lord Qiqi Taishou, Master Zhang Fugui Zhang and the three young masters have just arrived in the state capital, and they are now waiting in the hall, and their subordinates have come to report." ”
Although Pang Hui wondered why Zhang Fugui's father and son suddenly arrived here, there was no change on the surface.
"You go and tell them, and I'll be there in a moment!" Pang Hui commanded.
"Yes, sir!" the guard commanded.
Not long after, Pang Hui appeared in the hall, and Zhang Fugui and his son immediately greeted him flatteringly, not knowing what bad ideas they were going to make.
..................
"Dad, what are you looking for us?" Luo Minglei hurriedly asked as soon as he walked into the 'conference hall'.
In the 'conference hall', Luo Haoyu stood with his back to the door, and when he heard the voice, he slowly turned around.
"It's all here, look at the letter on the table, it was sent by the fourth child. ”
Luo Haoyu pointed to the table next to him and said, then sat down.
When the three Luo Minglei brothers heard this, they went to pick up the envelope and open it.
"In the border land, the army of the Great Proud Country has been active and increased a lot, and there are many suspicious people on the border of this country? Dad, what's going on?"
When Luo Minglei saw the contents of the letter, he suddenly felt bad.
"You're looking down. Luo Haoyu said calmly.
The three of them read the letter carefully, and Luo Mingshuang then asked, "Dad, is the Great Proud Country really ready to provoke a war?"
"Now that the spies have found out, there shouldn't be anything wrong, now the imperial capital is already mobilizing troops and horses, preparing to rush to the border, just in case. Luo Haoyu said.
"Dad, the fourth brother should go to the border, right?" Luo Mingzhen asked.
Luo Haoyu nodded, "Yes, that's why he sent us this letter, firstly to tell us about it, and secondly, to let us also strengthen our vigilance." Once the two countries really go to war, our neighboring counties will definitely bear the brunt. ”
"Then we'll arrange it now!" Luo Mingshuang said.
"Okay, then you go and arrange it! By the way, notify him to go to a few counties, and we can't just take care of ourselves. ”
Luo Haoyu watched Luo Mingshuang and the three of them leave, still puzzled, and couldn't understand why the big proud country would act like this, and he would not be restricted by the convention at all.
At the same time, in the imperial capital, the army has been mobilized, and there are constantly large groups of people in and out, so that many people smell a trace of unusual smell, so there is a relationship with the drag, and it has nothing to do with the silver, and they are all inquiring about reliable internal news.
..................
Once you focus on your work, you always feel like you're running out of time. Luo Ping was deeply touched at this time, he was still cultivating seriously in the 'Smokeless Valley', and he didn't know anything about what had happened outside recently.
"There's only a month left, why is it so fast?" Luo Ping sighed.
After nearly five months of cultivation, he finally completed the first layer of cultivation of 'Tanluo Divine Skill', feeling the solidity of his body, Luo Ping was even more yearning for the cultivation in the future.
His current physical strength, even if he has no internal strength, can be hard to connect with the martial artist of the early stage of the Great Martial Master with all his strength without dying, but it is inevitable that he will be injured, after all, the Great Martial Master level is to injure the enemy with internal force, and if he wants to completely resist, he must also resist with internal force.
Another point, which made Luo Ping even more overjoyed, in just a few months, he was actually promoted again, and now he is now the strength of the late stage of the Great Samurai, and he feels that in another month, he can completely advance to the peak level of the Great Samurai.
Advancing to the Great Samurai level and reaching the Ming Cong Realm is already deaf and clear, and for the current Luo Ping, the wind and grass within 100 meters are simply not a problem.
However, while he was happy, he was even more happy. In the first ring match, he was in the samurai level, and he was also the first in the samurai class, and later in the tournament, he was in the big samurai class, and he was also the first.
If in just half a year, he was promoted again and reached the early stage of martial arts, I really don't know if he would be able to participate in the 'Battle for the Championship' at that time, but fortunately, his cultivation has not been so fast.
After all, the previous competitions were not divided into levels, and all the martial artists competed together, and it had little impact on whether they were promoted or not.
Now, the new rules have been established and the first division of the level competition, he really can't guarantee that he will be able to participate in the competition when the time comes, after all, in front of the national master.
"Let's talk about it later, it's better to improve your strength first. ”
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Luo Ping returned to serious cultivation.
Now, he was no longer on the periphery of the 'Smoke Valley', but had approached more than ten miles inward, already close to half the distance, and the temperature of the scorching sun and the intensity of the wind and sand had increased at least five or six times.
If you reach the very center, it will be at least forty or fifty times, but it is not as simple as an average increase.
The cultivation of the waterfall, he had already reached a place forty meters away from the center at this time, which was shorter than expected. It is estimated that in a month, he can at least advance four or five meters.
