Chapter 210: Averting the danger
The town has temporarily entered a peaceful period. The shadowless hand takes Shen Lizhi out of the town to practice every day. Liu Ping's spirit and physical strength have almost all recovered. Except for the improvement in physical strength, Liu Ping's current attack power is equivalent to that of a level 30 warrior at most.
At this time, Zhong Wu carried the machete on his shoulder all year round. He followed Liu Ping'an respectfully every day. Liu Ping'an was actually very depressed. This was a bomb. Once Zhong Wu found that he was a paper tiger, he estimated that his life would be in danger. Liu Ping'an could not guarantee that his body could carry it. The knife in Zhong Wu's palm.
There is a relatively large open space in the middle of the town, and there is a big tree in the middle.
On this day, Liu Ping'an came to this big tree, and Zhong Wu followed him. Liu Ping'an stood under the tree silently. There was a fat man hidden in the tree. Unexpectedly, he was the little fat guy the other day. He did not really leave that day. When these people entered the house, he quietly returned and hid in this tree. On the big tree.
A trace of crisis, Liu Ping'an felt that he did not dare to move, and the little fat on the tree locked him.
"What a decline!"
Liu Ping'an howled in his heart, his face was calm, and he thought about it, and said to Zhong Wu, "Help me choose nine branches. They are the same length, the thinner the better... Wait, I think it's still ten branches." As he spoke, he took out a large jade bottle from the storage handbag. His hands were very stable and slow, but he absolutely did not leave any opportunity for the little fat on the tree.
Zhong Wu looked at the mouth of the jade bottle, with a surprised look in his eyes. He was silent for a while, and then nodded. The palm of his left hand waved gently. It took the boss a lot of strength to get ten branches that met Liu Ping'an's requirements from under this big tree and handed them respectfully. Liu Ping'an took nine branches and seemed to be random. Nine branches were inserted into the bottle, and now only one is still in Zhong Wu's hand.
Liu Ping'an looked at the branch in his hand and then at the jade bottle.
"Zhong Wu, do you want to know what I mean?" Liu Ping'an asked Zhong Wu.
"Think."
Zhong Wu's answer was very decisive.
"Then, Zhong Wu, insert the branch in your hand into the bottle."
This is also a very ordinary sentence. Zhong Wu and the little fat on the tree were shocked. When Liu Ping'an said this sentence, there was an obvious meaning of challenge, as if he wanted to do a very difficult thing alone.
What's more strange is that after hearing this sentence, Zhong Wu, who has always been serious and quiet, suddenly became very excited, as if he had been on the battlefield, facing a unique trick.
The little fat man on the tree felt that his heartbeat was not calm, and his small eyes seemed to have not changed, but his pupils were enlarged a lot.
- What is this for?
The branches are in the bottle, with extremely sparse and bleak feelings. There are still many remaining gaps. You can insert the branches in your hand anywhere, and even ten identical branches can be inserted casually.
But Zhong Wu held a branch in his hand, but he was like a student who wanted to write an article. Although he had pen and ink in his hand, he didn't know where to start.
His knife-like eyes have chosen many places between the gaps of the branches in the bottle.
But the branch in his hand did not stick.
His look was more solemn, not only on the blue veins on his forehead, but also on the back of his hand. This feather-light branch seemed to have become more than a thousand pounds.
- What is this for?
After a long time, Liu Ping'an sighed gently: "Zhong Wu, you are really close to the threshold."
Zhong Wu smiled bitterly. The little fat spirit on the tree did not dare to relax. Liu Ping's behavior was very strange, but he did not dare to divert his attention. If he looked carefully at the branches in this bottle, he would certainly find the mystery.
Zhong Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I don't even know where this branch should be inserted and how to say how to approach the holy realm."
Liu Ping'an smiled and said, "A three-year-old child can insert it. Why don't you know how to insert this branch?"
"This is like a game of chess. Sir, this bottle is like a game of chess, which has become a fore. If I fall down and destroy this game of chess, it will not be boring, and damn it."
Liu Ping'an smiled and said, "With your words, it's enough to see that you are about to reach the realm of the saint, but there is only a lack of a chance."
While they were talking, suddenly, the sky was full of colorful clouds and the sunset was burning like flames.
A light suddenly appeared in Zhong Wu's heart and casually inserted the branch in his hand into the bottle.
The branches in the bottle suddenly showed an indescribable and delicate style. All the space and gaps between the branches seemed to have been filled by this branch at this moment, and even the remnants of a fallen flower could no longer float in. Even a mosquito can no longer fly in.
Liu Ping's expression suddenly became as serious as Zhong Wu's just now, and he felt more bitter than eating Huanglian.
"Congratulations! Take this most critical step." Liu Ping'an said with a smile.
- Can you enter the holy level at any time? Liu Ping'an thought about it, but he didn't ask.
It took a long time for him to ask Zhong Wu.
"Is this true?"
"Yes."
"Did you really do it?"
"It's not that I did it, but the hint you gave me, sir. I just did it." Zhong Wu said.
Zhong Wu nodded slowly, and his expression was more serious, and even close to sadness.
"Others don't understand, but I do. In the eyes of others, they may think that I saw the flaw of your game and attacked it in time. Only I know that the soul of the knife and branch has been in the bottle. If I don't insert my last branch, it will be better.
"Why?"
"Because there is a lack of surplus and a spiritual feeling, it is better than 'full'. There is no perfect thing in the world.
Zhong Wu said with a sad face.
"No matter what a person does, don't be too full, otherwise he will lose. This principle should have been understood by most people, but unfortunately, most people in the world do not understand it.
Liu Ping'an couldn't help asking, "Since you understand this, why did you insert the last branch just now?"
Zhong Wu's answer is simple and clear: "Because I am competitive, and I really want to cross this hurdle. Now I know that the realm of the Holy is like this, and I have deprived me of other things while getting strong power."
Liu Ping'an was silent.
He also understands what Zhong Wu means. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many heroes have been defeated by the word "winning".
Zhong Wu looked directly at him and asked solemnly, "If you were me, would you do that just now?"
Liu Ping'an did not answer, but said with a strange attitude, "The game I just made is not a virtual array, but a real array. I'm afraid the last place I left is death."
Zhong Wu nodded and was silent, but there was still a trace of fear in his eyes.
Liu Ping'an saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He looked more and more relaxed and asked, "In that case, will you do the same thing?"
Zhong Wu was also silent for a long time and said slowly, "I don't know. Before that moment, I didn't even know what I would do!" What should I do?"
"It is very correct that the masters compete with each other and die in an instant. The decision made at that moment is not only the crystallization of cultivation, wisdom and experience, but also depends on the change and reaction of people at that time, and even the change of wind direction, the light and all environments may be affected. Even if you have reached the holy realm, this principle is equally effective.
Liu Ping'an said lightly, with a strange smile on his face. That man is really good to hide, and his patience is really terrible. Such an enemy is really a headache.
"It's a matter of thought that masters compete with each other. At that moment, there was almost no distance between life and death.
Zhong Wuchang sighed with a heavy expression on his face.
"Yes. Before that moment, no one can guess each other's life or death, because no one knows which decision they will make at that moment.
Liu Ping'an's face was pale, and his face seemed to show a sad smile like the sunset. Where on earth is that man hiding? On the tree? Underground? Is it hidden in the void?!?
Liu Ping'an decided not to worry about this problem. That person has not taken action yet, but he is not sure of a decisive victory, and now it is even more impossible to take action.
Liu Ping'an decided to change the topic and said, "So, do you think we should take this step for you today and drink some wine as an exception?" And you don't have to call me sir in the future.
There was also a smile in Zhong Wu's grim eyes. He said, "It is also one of the more interesting things in life to find a good reason to drink a little wine. If you can think of this, it means that your mood and strength have almost recovered."
At this time, the sun is about to set, and the aroma of food has come out of many houses in the town.
At dusk, Liu Ping'an and Zhong Wu are discussing some truths that most people don't understand.
The dusk in March is always cool and makes people feel very comfortable!
The last branch has been inserted, and the bottle is full, so full that even the sunset can't shine. Perfection is actually a defect?!?!
The scattered branches, every branch, every leaf and every shadow in the bottle are placed in the best position, which can happen to block the sunset and make it not even a trace.
Liu Ping'an stared at the branch, and his eyes were like a warlock who ate some kind of red sand. Suddenly, he became indescribably empty and lax, but showed an indescribable light. He finally knew that it was actually perfect, and everyone had their own so-called perfection in their hearts.
The little fat on the tree finally knew what they meant. He knew that if he took action now, he would definitely die. If you take action at the beginning, at least there is still a chance, and now the shadowless knife has finally taken that step. If you want to kill Liu Ping'an, you will never pass the shadowless knife. Now we have to wait for them to leave, find a chance to slip away, and find a chance to come next time.
He never lacks patience. He is a unique killer and a master with profound cultivation.
