The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

Yang Xiuhua is very lucky.

She successfully squeezed into the pagoda, but just as she stepped into the pagoda, the woman behind her was washed away by the flood.

There was a purple handprint on her right hand, and the corner of her clothes was torn. The woman had held on to her tightly before being washed away.

"Boom!"

Wang Shui worked together with several men to close the door of the pagoda, and moved a Buddha statue to block the door tightly. After that, they took off their clothes and filled the gaps in the door to prevent seawater from seeping in.

Everyone in the tower could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The pagoda is nine stories high, with a window on each floor. It is crowded with people, mostly women holding children.

Yang Xiuhua squeezed up to the sixth floor, sat down by the window, and looked down.

Looks sad.

The Longlaixiang dining hall was washed away by the recent flood.

She hugged the coarse cloth bag on her back to her chest and shouted "Li Changxiao" several times.

Thanks to her loud voice, which was developed from her years of tough style, her voice can still be heard clearly even though the tower is extremely noisy.

But no one responded.

Her expression darkened as she looked at the sword of the white-clad swordsman that she had forcibly seized.

Her eyes were a little moist, but she kept cursing, "You wicked guy, I told you to worship Lady River Mother more often, but you didn't. Now look what happened, you've been washed away by the flood."

After wiping away tears, he continued to curse, "Why are you pretending to be a swordsman? I've already inquired about it. Your mediocre skills can only scare ordinary people. Many people can't beat you. You are destined to wander around the world..."

"Rumble..."

While talking.

The pagoda shook violently, as if a flood was hitting the pagoda violently.

"If I had known earlier, I would have listened to the prefect and evacuated earlier."

"What's the point of evacuating? If we civilians leave our roots, we will die. I would rather die in Dragon City."

"Alas, I have been dreaming about floods during this period. I always wake up in a state of anxiety, but so what? Where can ordinary people like me evacuate to?"

Various sounds were heard inside the pagoda.

……

Zuo Qiuye and the other three finally pushed open the heavy stone door.

The scene inside came into view.

The four of them were delighted, and their attention was instantly attracted by the scriptures carved on the stone wall.

The handwriting of the scripture is a bit sloppy, a bit like the ancient characters of the Lingtian Dynasty a hundred years ago. The reading order is from top to bottom, line by line.

The young man dressed as a scholar looked at the first four words. After spending a few seconds distinguishing the font, he slowly said, "Xuanwu Divine Art..."

The four people's eyes lit up and they read through the scripture step by step.

Sudden.

The young man dressed as a scholar seemed to have stepped on something and bent down to pick it up.

The petite woman took out a tinder and blew gently. The flames illuminated the surroundings, and the four people could see clearly what was in the young man's hand.

It's a ring.

It was ancient cyan, with a blank character written in the middle.

"This ring..." The scholar felt that it looked familiar.

"Don't you call yourself Know-it-all? How come there is something whose origin you don't even know?" The old friend of the Kaishan faction said sarcastically.

"Hmph, don't provoke me. If I knew, I would tell you directly and not hide anything." The scholar said coldly, holding the ring and looking at it from left to right.

He could be sure that this was a martial arts item.

But for a while, I couldn’t remember it.

The four of them continued walking forward along the stone wall.

The joy on Zuo Qiuye's face became more and more intense. If it was as she expected, the scripture on the stone wall was actually a very powerful mental method!

I walked about four or five steps.

The passage ends here.

The stone wall behind was flat and blank, and Zuo Qiuye felt a little disappointed. However, after walking a few steps forward, scriptures reappeared on the stone wall.

It's like segmentation.

The young man dressed as a scholar had already taken out paper and pen and copied down all the scriptures he had read along the way.

"The nature and origin of inner strength?"

When Bai Xiaosheng copied down this, he was slightly surprised and stopped.

He looked up at the other three people. The other three people also looked at each other.

The world of martial arts is vast, and perhaps when its spiritual energy was at its peak, it was not as high-end as the circles of the immortals on the mountains.

But when it comes to the mixed crowd, the various schools and streams, and the various ways... it is definitely not inferior to the rest of the cultivation circle.

The young man dressed as a scholar is nicknamed "Jianghu Know-it-all" by the people in the underworld. He is well-informed and has spies in all sects.

I have heard of various schools, but... no one has ever thought about the essence of internal strength.

A strong curiosity ignited in his heart, and he was eager to find out the truth.

The four continued to watch.

There are many carved characters.

There is no doubt that internal strength is absolutely different from brute force, and it definitely exists.

On the stone wall.

The conjecture given by Master Xuanwu is that the essence of internal force is a kind of essence of energy, and the specific source is still unknown. Because there are all kinds of sects in the world, the methods of practicing internal force are also very different.

However, one thing is certain.

Regardless of the martial arts school, the muscle three inches to the right of the left chest and two fingers deep will tremble violently when the internal force is circulated.

The master who carved the mural called it regular shaking, which might imply some kind of pattern, but he has not been able to discover it yet.

In addition, three inches above the navel and half a finger deep in the abdomen, a large amount of heat will be emitted when the internal force is circulated.

The master judged that this heat was most likely a manifestation of internal strength...

The further the four of them walked, the more they felt an indescribable strange feeling in their hearts.

"boom…"

The guy who was walking in the front suddenly bumped into something, fell backwards, and sat on the ground.

"call."

He was startled, took a few breaths, and quickly got up from the ground.

No one laughed at him for being timid.

The petite woman held the fire stick and shone it forward.

The four of them were terrified on the spot.

In front of the four people, there was a person, or a human figure, hanging.

He was tall, his chest rising and falling slightly, and he seemed to be still alive, but in his current state, perhaps death would be better.

The man's shoulders were pierced by iron hooks, like pigs and sheep jerky waiting to be sold. What's more terrifying is that this man has no skin!

The muscle fibers were exposed to the four people.

"Six fingers..."

The young man nicknamed Jianghu Know-it-all looked at the palm in front of him, which had no skin and the muscle fibers were clearly visible. A storm of emotions arose in his mind.

He immediately took out the ring he had just picked up and blurted out, "It's the Six-Fingered Sky Demon!"

The man who was hanging in the air, after hearing the words "Six-Fingered Empty Demon", his breathing became noticeably faster and he even wanted to force his eyes open.

This movement undoubtedly confirmed that he was the Six-Fingered Demon.

When Zuo Qiuye and others heard this, a chill instantly rushed from their coccyx to their foreheads.

Didn’t they say that the Six-Fingered Demon had retired from the martial arts world?

How would it appear here?

And it’s so tragic?

Who could have done this? The Six-Fingered Demon is a top expert in the martial arts world, and his piano music can kill people without anyone noticing! Who has this ability?

Zuo Qiuye and others had seen bloody scenes before.

only…

Now they are afraid.

What chilled them the most was...

The six-fingered demon is still alive!

Thinking about the scriptures on the stone wall, a terrifying idea appeared in the minds of the four people at the same time.
