Under the blue and quiet sky, on the hillside, two men and a woman were roasting meat around the bonfire, and the tall and thin man in the middle leaned on the stone and patted his stomach contentedly and exclaimed, "It tastes so good, look at your sister's craftsmanship." ”

Chu Xunyu glanced at him, and the little boy said according to Chu Xunyu: "Don't pay attention to the master, he is lazy and greedy." ”

The man put down the food in his hand, washed his hands from the stream down the slope, and suddenly found that Chu Xunyu was still sitting there drinking tea, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why are you still here? Why don't you hurry back and die?"

"You haven't taught me one last trick, I'm not leaving. Chu Xunyu replied very resolutely.

"I said you can't learn, idiot, let's go. The man turned angrily to enter the house.

Chu Xunyu had already appeared by the door, the long sword was horizontal, and the sword body blocked the man's hand that was about to push the door, the man's palm was only half a finger away from the sword body, the man's expression was very surprised, and he praised: "I didn't expect your kid's speed to grow a lot." ”

"I've grown up on the outside. Chu Xunyu replied proudly.

"Congratulations. The man flicked the blade of the sword with his fingers and continued to push the door in, as if looking for something in the house.

Chu Xunyu was by the door frame, anxiously pleading: "Teach me." ”

"You're not ready. The man didn't lift his head.

"I know that my cultivation is low, it's a big deal, and if I die, what else is not well prepared. ”

"So you're not ready. The man exclaimed in surprise, "Here." "It turned out that the bed board was lifted, and there was a broken jar sealed underneath.

The man tore off the sealing wax on it, smelled it, and said happily, "It's so fragrant, this is still the wine you made here back then, and I haven't been willing to drink it all these years." After saying that, he went out and returned to the campfire, poured a cup and said to the little boy: "Your brother's craft is good at winemaking." ”

Xiao Tong saw Chu Xunyu coming over anxiously, and asked the man with concern: "Master, you taught my brother, if you don't teach, brother, you can take me out, and I will help you kill those bad guys." ”

Chu Xunyu and the man were stunned when they heard this, Chu Xunyu immediately shook his head and said: "Avenge your own revenge, sister, don't stir up, don't show your head, it's too dangerous for you to show your face on the rivers and lakes." ”

"I'm very strong. The little boy pouted and was unhappy, waving his little hand and said, "You know what I'm capable of, I can kill them all." ”

"Looks like you're not ready either. The man gave her a blank look, "The number of killings is not a measure of a person's strength. ”

"It's very dangerous for me to go here, and the grievances for many years are bound to be broken, so please fulfill it. After Chu Xunyu finished speaking, he dropped his sword, took a deep breath, "poof" knelt down, kowtowed, buried his face in the grass, and whispered: "Master." ”

The man and the boy were stunned, the man looked up at the sky, shook his head, stood up, and sighed: "Come with me." ”

Chu Xunyu followed the man all the way, this way seemed a little wrong, Chu Xunyu found that the direction he was going in seemed to be going to a place in the two poles that he rarely went to back then, and the road was very far, the man was not in a hurry, Chu Xunyu talked about a lot of things along the way, including what Chu Xunyu saw and thought during his trip to southern Xinjiang, as well as clues related to the black light. The scene around the two of them also changed from a blue and quiet forest to a dry and hot pile of stones, Chu Xunyu saw it clearly, and he named it "Broken Mountain Range" back then Because the terrain here is all made of gravel confrontation, the environment is boring, there are no plants, not to mention people, even beasts and monsters do not come here, the reason is very simple, there is no food here, only a few special animals can survive here, as far as the eye can see, there are large and small stones piled up under the dusk sky, forming a mountain range that winds for hundreds of miles, which looks extremely lifeless.

After walking for five or six days in a row, the two came to a large canyon in this broken mountain range, Chu Xunyu stretched out his head to look at the bottom of the valley, there was no rushing spring under the cliff, but countless stone peaks, like bamboo shoots densely raised upward, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why are we here? There is not even a decent demon beast here, who is my target?"

"Me. The man pointed to himself.

"What?" Chu Xunyu was stunned, "We want to practice, then whatever?"

"Let me ask you, Xiao Siyi, what is the greatest human courage in the world?" the man replied instead of asking, but looked around, there were many gravel confrontations around, many of them were slender and long, and the man knocked left and right.

Chu Xun didn't know why, shrugged his shoulders and asked, "I said earlier that you didn't say that you were right about the courage to face death. ”

"Of course not. The man found a slender stone bar that he was satisfied with, broke it off with his hand, waved it and tried it, and felt quite satisfied, "So you are not ready, your consciousness is not enough, do we humans have the courage to dare to face death? No, death is not terrible, what is terrible is -- 'live'." ”

"Alive?" Chu Xunyu frowned, obviously a little incomprehensible.

The next moment, the momentum of the man's words changed suddenly, and he instantly exuded an endless murderous aura, this cold aura made people shudder, Chu Xunyu asked himself if he had never seen him so angry by the man's side for so many years, he was wondering, and suddenly found that the man used the stone bar in his hand as a sword, and stabbed him directly at his throat, he was not joking, this was true, he really wanted to kill himself! This is the only thing Chu Xunyu thought in his heart at this moment.

"Bang dang", Chu Xunyu instinctively used his sword to block the stone bar, but he could avoid this blow, and the man's body became murderous again, and he knocked the sword body with the stone bar, and asked, "How did you feel just now?"

"No...... Not so good. Chu Xunyu's answer was a little stiff, and his tone was a little choked, feeling that he was going to die at that moment.

The man nodded and told Chu Xunyu the meaning of his actions just now. Whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, whether it is a grass, wood, fish and insects or birds and animals, the instinct of "survival" is innate, and the strongest power comes precisely from this, that is, at the moment of dying, the kind of survival power that bursts out is the strongest power, so just now the man said that the strongest strength of a person does not come from "death", or from "life", Chu Xunyu kept shouting and shouting generously to die, which is actually a manifestation of cowardice, because this world is for "people" Death is not terrible, but living is even more terrible.

"Do you have the courage to die, but don't you have the courage to live?" The man smiled slightly, walked behind Chu Xunyu, stretched out his hand and gently pushed, Chu Xunyu was irresistibly pushed off the cliff.

Chu Xunyu didn't panic, and stuck the sword on the cliff wall with his backhand, fixing his figure, the man walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down at Chu Xunyu: "From now on, I will be your opponent." After speaking, he jumped onto the opposite wall of the cliff, inserted the stone bar in his hand into the mountain wall, and looked at Chu Xunyu from afar.

Chu Xunyu looked down at the sharp stone tips everywhere below, and understood in his heart that the biggest problem in the land of the two poles was that the aura was dry and lifeless, and conventional cultivation methods could not mobilize the aura to replenish themselves, and the gap between the man's strength and himself was a world of difference.

"Are you ready?" the man asked, his face full of murderous and bloodthirsty grins, this was the martial cultivator's belligerent instinct was triggered, and the man kicked the mountain wall with both feet, leaving only a sentence echoing in the valley in the air: "Then 'live' me to show ......"

And Xiao Tong was continuing to practice swordsmanship with Dongfang Ya, Ouyang Huanting stood aside and looked at Chu Xunyu in the distance with some worry, Dongfang Ya saw her worry, stopped the sword in her hand, and told Ouyang Huanting lightly: "The road is his own, you can't take him with him for a lifetime." ”
