As the saying goes, the New Year comes after Laba Festival.
After Laba Festival, New Year’s Eve will come soon.
On New Year's Eve, Shi Feizhe made dumplings and also took out some aged vinegar that had been stored for a long time.
Rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. The price of vinegar was surprisingly not cheap before large-scale industrial production began.
"Grandpa, it's time to eat dumplings! These dumplings must be eaten with vinegar!" Shi Feizhe brought two large bowls of dumplings and a small bowl of aged vinegar, and said, "Eat one bowl first, there's more in the pot."
In the mountains, the old man is responsible for growing vegetables and Shi Feizhe is responsible for cooking.
It wasn't that Shi Feizhe didn't grow vegetables, but the old man disliked the rough way Shi Feizhe did the farm work. Especially the work of tilling the soil and watering, the old man did it quickly and well.
There's no way, Shi Feizhe has really never done farm work.
"Dumplings! Another year has passed!" The old man saw the dumplings and said, "I wonder if I can still eat dumplings next year."
"Ah? I think you can still hold on for two more years!" Shi Feizhe took a bite of the dumplings, which were stuffed with pork and cabbage. They were so delicious!
"It's New Year's Day, and you don't even say something auspicious! For example..." he continued.
"For example, living a hundred years, right?" The old man also took a bite of the dumpling, and sneered when he heard Shi Feizhe farting again.
"Hey..." Shi Feizhe was guessed right and said while eating dumplings, "The vinegar is so sour!"
"It's not easy for someone like me to wait for death peacefully in the world!" said the old man arrogantly.
"Ah, right, right!" Shi Feizhe was too lazy to argue with him. He didn't know what was so proud about waiting to die. He said:
"After the New Year, I will go down the mountain?"
"Oh? Are you starting to clean up the underworld as you said?" The old man didn't even raise his eyelids, but just took a sip of the dumpling soup.
"Of course! I noticed the bad morals in the martial arts world a few years ago. Now that I have made some progress in my magical skills, I am going to rectify the martial arts world!" Shi Feizhe said with a smile.
He wants to go to Kongtong Mountain first, and then find a place to open a martial arts academy!
While improving your own cultivation, you will also start to realize your ideal of conquering the world. I believe that in this process, you will definitely meet many like-minded people! This kind of world is really interesting.
"It's good to be young. Even stupidity is different!" The old man was surprised that there were such idiots in the world.
He has been in this world for more than a hundred years.
More than a hundred years have passed, and the people in the world have changed several generations, but it is still the same world.
The world is filled with various sects, controlling various interests, and behind every matter are filled with dirty deals and rules. The big sects eat meat, and the small sects drink soup, together with a tacit understanding, they form the order of the world.
Newcomers like Shi Feizhe, who have no sect or school, are just dishes on the menu and consumables for those sects.
Even the most invincible person in the world cannot resist the alliance of these sects and the combination of these interests.
Although there are new and famous people in the world every year, more of them die in deserted corners and are swallowed up completely.
Therefore, he really didn't think highly of Shi Feizhe.
He thought Shi Feizhe would be sold after he came down the mountain. He might even say thank you to the person who sold him.
It seems useless to pass on my skills to such a person.
Forget it, let me take "Extreme" to the grave.
"Heh... what do you know, old man? When you want to do something, you're already halfway there!"
"Where's the other half?"
"If I don't succeed, I'll die! Do you want me to be like you and wait for death when I get old?"
"You still want to live to old age? How ridiculous! Who knows, after you come down the mountain, you'll be sold off and made into a slave!"
"Nonsense! I've been a slave for so many years, how could I not know if someone sold me?"
"Heh... with your naiveté, that's not certain!"
Late at night, an old man and a young boy were bickering while eating dumplings. They were already used to this kind of life.
Day after day, time passed quickly, until the ice and snow melted and it was March.
On this day, when Shi Feizhe was standing on the sword stance, he suddenly felt the "true source sword energy" in his dantian rolling and churning, and then the sword energy suddenly increased, filling the eight extraordinary meridians, flowing continuously to form a large cycle.
This is the minor success realm in "True Source Sword Finger Technique". The true Qi is endless, which is approximately equal to the Qi Sea realm, but different from the Qi Sea realm.
Shi Feizhe felt neither happy nor sad, because he knew that this day would come sooner or later, which also meant that he would eventually have to come down the mountain and return to the world of martial arts.
He has been in this world for exactly three years.
So he prepared a very sumptuous meal and said goodbye to the old man.
In any case, he lived in the old man's house, although he built it himself, and ate the vegetables grown by the old man, although he cooked the meals himself.
"Wow! Such a rich meal, it seems like you are going to run away." The old man said after seeing the four dishes at a glance.
"Yes, I have made some progress in my magical skills and will be going down the mountain soon." Shi Feizhe said while holding the dishes.
"Good, good, now that you're gone, I can finally have peace!" the old man said happily, "I was so afraid I'd die. You're still here, and I wouldn't be at peace even if I were buried in the dirt in the backyard!"
“…”
The old guy and Shi Feizhe had been complaining to each other for two years. This tactic of killing a thousand enemies but injuring eight hundred of his own had left Shi Feizhe with no idea how to respond.
"Grandpa, are you really going to die?" Shi Feizhe couldn't help but say when he saw the old man say this.
A few years ago, when Shi Feizhe was hiding in the mountains to practice martial arts, the old man said that he was about to die.
A few years later, Shi Feizhe pointed his sword at Xiaocheng, but the old man still said that he was about to die.
I feel like I haven’t practiced my martial arts and no time has passed!
"Really, I will die this year!" said the old man seriously.
"How about I bury you before I leave?" Shi Feizhe said after thinking for a while.
"No need! There is a cave in the back mountain. Before I die, I will go into the cave and collapse it!" When the old man heard that Shi Feizhe wanted to bury him, he looked at Shi Feizhe and said.
"There are caves in the back mountain. How come I didn't know about it?"
"After all, this is where I grew up. It's normal that you don't know!"
"That's right, let's eat!"
The next day, Shi Feizhe packed up his things, said goodbye to the old man, and prepared to go down the mountain.
"Well! Shi boy, maybe we won't see each other again! I have a mnemonic, please remember it." The old man said to Shi Feizhe in the rocking chair in the yard.
"Is the formula powerful?"
"When one day you find that your cultivation has stopped improving, think about this mantra again and you will know how powerful it is!"
"You're kidding! If my cultivation doesn't grow, then won't that mean I'm invincible?"
"Listen carefully. Heaven and man are in conflict. Heaven is above, but man is above..." The old man quickly finished a thousand-word mnemonic, explained it briefly, and then said, "Go!"
Shi Feizhe bowed to him again, then turned around and stepped into the world of martial arts.
The old man looked at Shi Feizhe's back, and thought of the many strange people who had passed by in the wild mountains and wilderness in the past few years. He sighed and said, "Freak, he's finally gone!"
He watched Shi Feizhe practicing martial arts every day and felt that everything was wrong, but Shi Feizhe was getting stronger.
The strange things he encountered in the past few decades were not as many as those he encountered in the past two years.
The world of Jianghu is so unexpected!
Too bad it has nothing to do with him anymore.
"I am finally at peace!"
Once you enter the world of martial arts, it’s as deep as the sea... I am the sea!
(I originally wanted to update twice, but after thinking about it, I decided to update three times! I will post the transition chapters. If I don’t write down some plots, I won’t feel anything!)
