[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

Su Ye walked down the stone steps step by step, sending out her signature sweet smile.Ning Daoqi spoke at this time, his voice was extremely soft and deep, "Brother Di, Miss Su, I came today uninvited, please forgive me."

He has a modest attitude, and even elevates Zhai Rang to a higher level, calling him "Brother Zhai", showing the demeanor of a Taoist master who does not compete with the world, without any sense of aggressiveness.No matter how high his status was, Zhai Rang didn't dare to be rude to him. He quickly laughed and said respectfully, "Old man Ning is serious."

Su Ye bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I was the one who spoke first and asked Miss Shi to pass the message on my behalf. How could it be considered that you came uninvited? However, I always thought that senior would wait on the road and wait for me to fall headfirst into the net."

When she was speaking, Ning Daoqi had already walked up to him, and looked at her with a smile, just like looking at a younger generation's kind grandfather, with only appreciation in his smile.It was only then that Su Ye realized that he still had a childlike innocence on his face, without any shrewdness and sophistication, which was in line with the Taoist purpose of returning to nature.

While listening, he stretched out his crystal-like jade right hand, stroked his long beard lightly, and then said with a smile: "Miss has returned to Xingyang, so she must live in seclusion. I can't just wait outside all day long, waiting for your time to go out. Moreover, the old man is really interested in you. When Feixuan came to see me, she said a lot of good things about you, calling you an outstanding person she has only seen in her life, and thinks it is necessary for the old man to get acquainted with you."

Su Ye smiled and said, "What virtue and ability do I have to receive this award. I just don't know if Miss Shi has asked my senior to be a lobbyist, to persuade me to act in accordance with the sky and obediently support the second son of the Li clan?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Daoqi shook his head slowly, and calmly denied: "The first time she saw you, she knew that you were not a person who could be moved by words, and she didn't hold out such hopes. It seems that only the upright can defeat you, no matter what Only when you are in the sparring or on the battlefield can you be convinced. Therefore, the old man can talk as little as possible, otherwise it will just be nagging and annoying."

Su Ye said: "That is to say, the senior came this time, really just to learn martial arts?"

A gentle smile appeared on Ning Daoqi's lips, and he said softly: "That's right. I heard that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have obtained the Taoist treasure book Longevity Formula, and they have practiced an incomparably strange martial arts, so that they can withstand the strange power of Heshibi The young lady is practicing the legendary innate kung fu, which is similar to the formula of longevity. From the beginning of learning martial arts, she has practiced innate qi. As for the other two..."

As soon as he glanced at Shen Luoyan, Shen Luoyan smiled wryly: "Luoyan has not yet reached that point, so like Ba Fenghan, he received a lot of help from Kou Xu and the second young lady."

Ning Daoqi said gently: "That's right, the radiance of your skin is a sign of rebirth. Based on this, concentrate on cultivating Qi, at least a few months, or at most a few years, and your martial arts will advance by leaps and bounds."

Shen Luoyan whispered: "Yes."

Su Ye suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, what advice do you have for me?"

Ning Daoqi kept his eyes on her left and right, even if he looked at others, he would devote a little energy to pay attention to her, which contained extremely powerful spiritual power, as if condensing the power of heaven and earth in his eyes.However, this kind of power did not arouse the vigilance of others. Instead, it was peaceful and stable, like a calm sea, silently drowning all those who met his gaze.

When others look at him for a long time, they will feel that through this kind of eyes, they have come into contact with another world beyond the mundane. Suddenly, they look down on many mundane pursuits.There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that he only owes the last step of becoming an immortal and becoming a sage, which does not seem to be a compliment.

Counting the great masters of martial arts in the present age, Song Que established the mountain city of the Song dynasty; Fu Cailin opened the door to accept disciples, and led his troops to resist the Sui army twice, becoming a great hero in the hearts of the Koreans; Bi Xuan, a symbol of Turkic martial arts, not only accepted many apprentices , and also trained a team of "Saibei Eighteen Hussars", obviously not satisfied with closed doors.

Among these people, only Ning Daoqi was truly invulnerable. He never took disciples to pass on his skills, nor did he establish any influence.Although he kept in touch with Cihang Jingzhai and helped them many times, it was only because of the same philosophy, and he didn't mean to be in the same spirit and call friends.

In other words, he agrees with Shi Feixuan from the bottom of his heart, and believes that the best way to end the troubled times as soon as possible is to choose a suitable candidate and continue to grow his power until he dominates the world.Otherwise, even if Concubine Shi Xuan has three heads and six arms, it would be hard to convince him to make a move.

When Su Ye asked this sentence, it was provocative, but also with a little sincerity, hoping to get his opinion.

Ning Daoqi sighed: "Miss is between eleven and twelve years old, and her cultivation level is enough to keep pace with this old man. How can this old man dare to give you advice. I just find it strange and want to know why you deviate from the Taoist school of quietness and inaction. the essentials of being active in worldly affairs?"

Su Ye smiled and said: "It's easy to say, this should be a difference in our philosophy. The Taoists of all ages have emphasized that Taoism is natural, follow the trend, and don't go against the predetermined trajectory of destiny. In fact, I think so too, but the Taoism in my impression , only includes all things in nature, excluding human affairs. For me, waterfalls fall from cliffs to the bottom of ponds, tides change with the phases of the moon, wind fuels fires, and Mount Tai stands still despite the wind and rain. These are called nature. As for Li Shimin's destiny to inherit the Great Tradition and create a prosperous dynasty, it has nothing to do with nature, and it can't make me feel awe."

Ning Daoqi said softly: "That's a good remark. But Miss, don't you want to admit that if you lead the Wagang Army and submit to the Li Clan, you will be a great help to the Li Clan. With your help, Li Shimin will definitely be able to end the troubled times as soon as possible, and solve the problem. The suffering of the people hanging upside down?"

Su Yedao: "This is our second disagreement. Why am I attached to Li Shimin, not Li Shimin to me? Seniors are wise and wise, and should admit it frankly. If I want to kill Li Shimin, then unless you and Shi Feixuan personally protect me, Otherwise, I will succeed one day. At that time, the fate of man and man will become a mirror image."

Ning Daoqi didn't mince words, and answered frankly: "If it is necessary, Feixuan will of course take the responsibility of protecting Li Shimin."

Su Ye couldn't help but pause, still looking straight at his peaceful eyes that revealed wisdom, and said with a wry smile: "Your biggest cognitive bias is that you call yourself God's will. Once you meet someone who doesn't agree with you, you have to use your eloquence to persuade the other party to bow their heads. , or use force to coerce and force the opponent to submit. This is not called following the trend, it is called the law of the jungle. I know this is also the law of survival of natural creatures, but in the world, weak creatures also have the right to survive and compete. Further thinking, people are The spirit of all things should transcend ordinary laws, otherwise what is the difference with apes?"

Ning Daoqi nodded and said: "On this point, the old man and the lady have the same thoughts, so they want to try their best to protect the people and keep them from the cruel struggles of rebels and clans everywhere."

Su Ye smiled and said, "From this, we can see that the conflict between us is like the conflict between me and the Yingui faction, there is no solution and no salvation."

Ning Daoqi laughed and said appreciatively: "There are not many people in the world who offend both the evil sect and the orthodox faction at the same time. The lady is nothing more than saying that the possible dispute between you and me is only about the candidate, not the point of view."

Su Ye said: "You are more reasonable and have never used cruel methods, so the conflict is more relaxed. Alas, I can understand Miss Shi. She once wanted to solve all the people who refused to obey for Li Shimin, but she met a soft-hearted person like me. The trouble of eating must be a headache. However, a fight is a fight, even if it is dressed up with the word destiny, it will not make any difference. Before she admits me and Kou Zhong, I am afraid that she and I will not be able to be friends."

Ning Daoqi sighed with his beard, but he didn't have the slightest hint of frustration. Instead, he smiled and said, "If the old man keeps talking, I'm afraid he will be regarded as a long-tongued old man by the lady. I have one last question, and I hope the lady can explain it to me."

Su Ye said, "Please tell me."

Ning Daoqi said indifferently: "You are definitely not someone who likes to fight for fame and fortune, let alone power, and you don't even care what others think of you. From what you said, the old man heard that you plan to hand over the position of leader to Kou Zhong in the future. So while talking, he suddenly mentioned his name. This made the old man even more puzzled, since you are not interested in power, why do you want to get involved?"

When Zhai Rang heard this, he suddenly showed shock.In terms of knowledge of people, the difference between him and Ning Daoqi is incomparable.What Ning Daoqi could see as soon as he met him, he still refused to believe it after several years.It wasn't until Ning Daoqi pointed it out that he realized that what Su Ye said in the past was true, and she really didn't covet the status of "Wagang leader".

He looked at Su Ye with puzzled eyes, Su Ye smiled reassuringly, and replied softly: "How can seniors have such doubts? Since it's not for power or wealth, it's for ideas. I'm doing it with you." The same thing, but with different methods. I believe that after Kou Zhong established the Young Marshal Army and left the future planned by Miss Shi, the seniors will come to give him advice. I just did a little more, so why is it so strange? ?”

She thought for a while, and then added: "I don't think Miss Shi did something wrong, because that is almost the only correct choice. But think about it, senior, if I...or Kou Zhong defeated Li Shimin who was supported by Jing Zhai, wouldn't it be more important?" Does it reflect God's will?"

Ning Daoqi stood with his hands behind his back, with a demeanor as calm as the deep sea.He listened patiently all the time, with a strange light in his eyes.After Su Ye finished speaking, he said leisurely: "I understand, you have always regarded the struggle for world hegemony as part of the natural law and a means to achieve your goals, so you will not sink into the sea of ​​suffering."

Su Yedao: "Yes. Fu Cailin's Yi swordsmanship also treats the opponent as a chess piece, jumping out of the shackles of the game. If a person can break away from the restriction of vision in every battle, analyze and predict the opponent's strength as a bystander If you take the next step, you will be invincible. Kou Zhong has realized this truth, but he lacks experience, and in time, he will be Li Shimin's most difficult competitor."

Ning Daoqi said in surprise: "The two of them have reached such a state? They are worthy of being heroes."

Su Ye smiled and said, "Senior, why do you think I fell in love with them?"

Of course, Ning Daoqi would not be afraid of rising stars, but his interest in those two people has deepened. Coupled with the "Secret of Longevity" practiced by Ssangyong, even if Shi Feixuan doesn't speak, he still wants to find a chance to see their abilities.

But here and now, it's not something he should be distracted by.His right hand was still unhurried, stroked his beard one by one, laughed and said: "The old man is a lobbyist, and he did a terrible job, so there is no need to mention it again. Miss Hope has not been spoiled by me, and she still has something to learn from me." intention."

Su Ye nodded, first signaled Shen Luoyan and Tu Shufang to retreat to a distance, Fang said: "That's exactly what I meant."

She knew very well that the other party would not attack first, so she had long since stopped giving in to others.Before she finished speaking, she flicked her right sleeve, and the black light on the cuff flickered again and again, exuding a mighty vigor.

There was only a loud bang, and the rockery on the right was shattered by the strong wind, shook violently a few times, and broke off at the root.Hundreds of kilograms of rocks shot up into the sky, and with a force of thunder, they smashed down on Ning Daoqi's head.This move shows no sympathy, it not only represents her determination, but also shows how much she attaches importance to this great master of martial arts, it is frightening.

Amidst the sound of wind and thunder, the shadow cast by the rocks had fallen on Ning Daoqi's head.But his figure remained motionless, standing like a mountain, and his expression was even more serene and peaceful, completely unaffected by this astonishing momentum.
