I, living in the Qin Dynasty, never intended to advance.

"Bai Feng, although every strong person has a confident mentality, a confident person is not necessarily a strong person." The young man in black, Mo Ya, reminded.

"I have not only confidence, but also these hands and arm blades." Bai Feng stretched out his arms, and in the starlight, there was a cold light flashing, and a cold blade was looming.

"Let's go, it's time for us to do our own thing." Mo Ya said lightly.

Chapter 25 Death

The cold winter is good for Tibetans.

In the following time, Yan Lingji kept hiding in Yang Chong's room.

Yan Lingji, who had been a prisoner for seven years, seemed to have no objection to being a stay-at-home girl for a few more years. She ate well and slept well. But poor Jiang Nu was always affected by Yan Lingji's illusion, which made Yang Chong unable to bear it any longer.

But Yang Chong also knew that Yan Lingji's approach was the best. After all, the secret between the two of them could not be known to a third person. As for Jiang Nu, she would just have to suffer for the time being.

During this period, Yang Chong practiced the Nine Yin General Principles and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw at night, and practiced the Heart Destroying Palm openly during the day. In this way, time passed quickly and fulfillingly. In the blink of an eye, it was already deep winter, and spring was not far away.

But suddenly one day, Old Man Li asked Yang Chong to find him.

When Yang Chong saw Old Man Li again in the dim room, he couldn't help but be shocked. Compared with Old Man Li a few days ago, Old Man Li now looked even older. It seemed that just a few days had taken away his last bit of energy.

"I'm going to die." Old man Li, who had never trimmed his hair and beard, now tidied himself up, but he no longer had the vitality he once had when he spoke.

"Winter is really not a good season." Yang Chong sighed. During his practice of the Nine Yin Scriptures, he became more and more sensitive to a person's qi. Therefore, he was able to sense the lingering deathly aura that permeated Old Man Li at this time.

"As long as I can survive this winter, I will have another year to live, but I can't make it through. It's really frustrating." Old man Li said with a wry smile.

The cold winter is the most difficult and dangerous thing for an old person. It will consume an old person's potential until it is dried up.

"Do you have any last words?" Yang Chong asked. Since Old Man Li came to him at this time, this was the only thing he could think of.

"What's in that cave?" Old man Li grabbed Yang Chong's arm and asked. His strength was so great that he didn't seem like a dying man at all.

"There is a person imprisoned inside." Yang Chong replied.

"As expected, as expected, can you rescue that man?" Old Man Li said excitedly.

All he wanted in his life was to live an honest life, but even such a simple request became a luxury before that incident. How could he not hate the person who caused his tragedy? Now he is dying, and if he dies with this hatred, he will not be able to die in peace.

"Rescued." There was no need for Yang Chong to hide anything from the dying person. Besides, the cave was a secret told to him by old man Li.

"Then I can feel at ease. I'll wait for him to kill those people, so I won't be lonely on the ghost road." Old man Li laughed weakly as he spoke. Years of grudges could be avenged one day, which should be the best thing for this dying man.

"You'd better make arrangements for your funeral arrangements. If you have any last wishes, tell them as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even have the chance to speak of them when you're really gone." Yang Chong urged.

"I'm a dying man and I'm not in a hurry, so why should you be in a hurry?" Old man Li said unhappily.

But old man Li only had that much temper. If he didn't have much time left and wanted to make arrangements for his funeral, why would he ask someone to find Yang Chong? In Xiliu Village, Yang Chong was the only one he could count on.

"After I die, just prepare a two-inch thin coffin for me. I've been miserable enough in my life, and I need to be a little dignified after my death." Old man Li was honest this time, and his tone was earnest.

"This is a simple matter." Yang Chong nodded. He could afford the money for a coffin.

"Also, prepare some delicious food for me, chicken, duck, fish or meat will do." Old man Li added.

"Are you going to trick me again? A dying man still has an appetite to eat?" Yang Chong asked suspiciously. He had long experienced the unscrupulousness of old man Li. If he had not gotten the secret of Yan Lingji from him, Yang Chong would have strangled him to death.

"It's okay to just smell it. I can only trick you again this time." This time, Old Man Li did not quibble, but admitted it openly.

"Okay, I'll let you trick me once more." Considering that Old Man Li was about to die, Yang Chong didn't bother to make a fuss about it. Besides, after all, Old Man Li enriched his childhood.

"There is one more thing." Old Man Li said again.

"Are you done yet?" Yang Chong acted annoyed. Wasn't it that the old man Li's last wishes were a bit too many?

"The last one, the last one, I promise it's the last one." Old man Li said embarrassedly. His physical weakness seemed to make him mentally fragile as well. He was no longer as shameless as before.

"Go ahead."

"Please wait until I die before leaving. Death is too scary. I don't want to die alone." Old man Li looked at Yang Chong, with an unprecedented pleading look in his eyes.

"Okay." Yang Chong nodded. He seemed to have understood Old Man Li's feelings.

"Thank you very much." Old man Li grinned, his attitude more sincere than ever.

In a moment of silence, the dim and cold room fell into silence. Only a lamp was swaying, bringing some light to this shabby room that was cleaned up for the last time by Old Man Li.

Yang Chong's body was hidden in a place where no lights illuminated. He quietly looked at the old man Li who had fallen into a coma. His old face was lifeless, and the skin on his exposed palms was dry and wrinkled. The lifeless body also lost its support, and the skin collapsed.

Yang Chong had never been so close to natural death, and he was depressed for a while.

Death is the fate that all things in the world cannot escape. It also brings great terror. Fortunately, some people can face it calmly, but it is also fair. No matter whether you are a king, a general, or a commoner, it treats everyone equally. In the end, the ending is the same. Although the ending is the same, the process is not exactly the same. It is precisely because of this that this process, that is, living, becomes more meaningful. That is the meaning of life.

"Is this death?" Yang Chong smelled the scent of death while sensing the breath.

"If death is the final outcome for everyone, then how should I live and why should I live?" Yang Chong pondered.

"Who is this dying old man to you?" Just as Yang Chong was thinking about the meaning of life and death, a bright voice that should not have appeared in the current environment came from behind him.

A hot body appeared behind Yang Chong, the distance was so close that Yang Chong could feel the heat falling on his face.

"He once held a dream of mine." Yang Chong said.

Chapter 26 Burning Like a Flame

"Your dream was about an old man like this. It must be a nightmare." Yan Lingji, who had been waiting for Yang Chong to return, stretched her neck to look at the old man Li, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker. How could such a person be Yang Chong's dream? It was a bit too ridiculous.

"I was still young at that time." Yang Chong whispered.

"Tell me what you dreamed about when you were a kid." Yan Lingji put one hand on Yang Chong's shoulder and leaned closer with her aqua blue eyes, as if she didn't want to miss even a single detail. However, this kind of behavior of adding generation to the relationship...

"When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a peerless master," Yang Chong recalled.

Although he had not yet awakened the memories of his past life at that time, some things were not only in his memory, but also engraved in his blood. When he, who was only ten years old, learned that there was martial arts in this world, the desire arose immediately.

At that time, he fantasized about having some kind of adventure, or meeting a master, or a martial arts secret book, and then mastering peerless martial arts and roaming the world without fear.

With that dream in mind, Yang Chong saw Old Man Li. At that time, Old Man Li seemed different to him. The injuries on his body and the words that he occasionally inadvertently revealed were not common to ordinary people. This made him, who was in the middle of his second-year fantasy period, think that he was some kind of peerless master. The cunning Old Man Li was also happy with Yang Chong's misunderstanding. He had been pretending to be important and cheating for food and drink for so many years. Over the years, he had gained a lot of things.

From Yang Chong's narration, Yan Lingji learned the whole story.

"How stupid! You were fooled by such an old man." Yan Lingji glared fiercely at the unconscious old man Li. She did not have the good character of respecting the elderly and loving the young. This was the case with Jiang Nu before and with old man Li now.

"Actually, it's not that I was cheated. I was able to rescue you from there because I got the information from him. He was one of the craftsmen who built the prison back then." Yang Chong explained.

"So, this old guy is my benefactor?" Yan Lingji's eyes flashed with surprise.

"He told me the news to repay me. It was me who rescued you, so I am your only benefactor." Yang Chong reminded.

"Eh?" Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong suspiciously, then suddenly realized, as if she had seen through everything, and said with a smile: "You are jealous now, he is just a dying old man, a stingy guy."

But Yang Chong was not worried about this at all. He was just worried that Yan Lingji would find out his background and something might happen to their deal.

"But speaking of it, this old man was once your dream, but what about me, your sister?" Yan Lingji was obviously not a person who complained about the environment, and at this moment she even had the mind to tease Yang Chong.

"You are my dream for the future!" Yang Chong said steadily.

"This old man was your dream in the past, and I am your dream in the future?" Yan Lingji was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, she reacted, raised her eyebrows, and said unkindly: "Okay, I knew you had bad intentions towards me, so this is your intention."

"There's nothing I can do about it. You're so beautiful." Yang Chong acted shy while speaking, as if he wanted to look at Yan Lingji but didn't dare to.

"You have good vision, but do you want your dream to come true?" Yan Lingji's anger had disappeared, replaced by alluring charm. She seemed to be giving Yang Chong a chance.

Unfortunately, Yang Chong knew that Yan Lingji was just fishing. If he really wanted his dream to come true, Yan Lingji would definitely use a vicious expression to ruthlessly tear his dream apart. Yan Lingji's temper could be so bad.

"That's a matter for the future." Yang Chong, who knew Yan Lingji's character well, would never be fooled.

"That may not be the case." Seeing that Yang Chong was not fooled, Yan Lingji was not disappointed. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so she changed the subject and asked, "You are talking about the dream of the past and the dream of the future, so what is your current dream?"

"The dream now?" Yang Chong was stunned when he heard this, but his eyes subconsciously looked at the dying old man Li.

"Hey, hey, don't say that this old guy is also your dream now, that's too perverted. Okay, sister will give you a chance. Even if you say that sister is your dream now, sister will not be angry. Sister allows you to do shameful things with me in the dream, but it can only be in the dream!" Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong strangely, with a noble look of sacrificing myself to pull you back to the path of normal people, as if the dazzling fire had become a holy fire.

Yang Chong ignored Yan Lingji's teasing and just looked at Old Man Li. The breath of death was getting stronger and stronger, and death was approaching.

Seeing death, fear arose in Yang Chong's heart. He was afraid of death, but death was inevitable. At this moment, when death was right in front of Yang Chong, he suddenly longed for life more than ever.

If death is the inevitable end of a person, then life is a process. If no one can escape death, then enjoy the process and live it to its fullest. In just a short moment, Yang Chong understood what he wanted.

In this world, who is not a child of destiny? "I have no dreams now, but only one ambition."

"What is your ambition? Tell me about it." Yan Lingji asked curiously.

"Practice the strongest martial arts, defeat the strongest enemy, and possess the most beautiful woman." Yang Chong looked at Yan Lingji and said in a serious voice.

"That can be fatal." Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong, who was more high-spirited than ever before, and felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. At that moment, she saw flames on Yang Chong's body. That flame was not like her flame, which could burn people and destroy enemies, but it was hotter. It was a fire called desire.

"If death is inevitable, then I hope I can burn to death like a flame." Yang Chong said. Although his voice was not loud, it was more firm than ever before.

"If death is inevitable, then we should just burn out like a flame and die?" The mockery on Yan Lingji's face disappeared. She saw a kind of power in Yang Chong, a power that made her feel invincible.

Yan Lingji has had a full understanding of Yang Chong's strength during this period of time. Although she was captured by Yang Chong outside the cage that day, it was only because she had been imprisoned for too long and lost the initiative, so she was captured by Yang Chong. Now that Yan Lingji is in full condition, she is confident that if she fights with Yang Chong again, Yang Chong will never be able to get the upper hand like last time.

But Yang Chong, who was even weaker than Yan Lingji, made Yan Lingji see an invincible power at this moment.

I am also a flame!

If the flame could burn out and die, it would probably be a good destination!

"Heh, greedy man." Yan Lingji sneered to hide the throbbing in her heart.

Chapter 27 The Second Inheritance

Yang Chong ignored Yan Lingji's sneer. At this moment, a familiar change occurred in the depths of his soul.

A figure dormant in the depths of Yang Chong's soul. When Yang Chong's desire was not concealed, a shadow suddenly condensed, and a name appeared in his mind: Yu Tu.

Yu's disciple?

One of the six wise farmers today, he was once the commander of the Water Department among the six departments of Emperor Yan. In ancient times, he was in charge of water conservancy for the Yan Emperor tribe.

Yang Chong looked inward at the changes in the phantom: Kuikui brought me the Nine Yin Scriptures, what will you bring for me?

The moment Yu Tu's shadow solidified, it exploded with a loud bang, and lines continued to interweave and reorganize in the pattern that Yang Chong was familiar with: Yu Tu opened the water and people prospered!

Water? Could it be a palm technique? But I don't lack palm techniques now? Yang Chong frowned slightly, and he thought of the information from the farmer's family.

Yu Tu, as one of the six wise men of the farming family, is generally promoted from the former head of Gonggong Hall. The martial arts he practices is Buzhou Duan Zhang, which is based on the idea of ​​water drops wearing away stone and penetrating every hole.

impossible!

Just when Yang Chong was still worried about what palm technique would be revealed, the initial words appeared between the interweaving lines: "Take away the merits of others, absorb your own meridians, the sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is greatness."
