It was already daytime when Qin Dujiang woke up, but he would rather never wake up.

This is a guest room in the inn. Sunlight shines in from the half-open window. It is a sunny day today.

He was still lying down, subconsciously feeling the condition of his body, and found that it was not as bad as he imagined, but he just felt waves of weakness and hunger.

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Cheng came in with a large plate of food: "Are you awake?"

Qin Dujiang looked blank: "Why didn't I die?"

Xiao Cheng chuckled: "You really want to die?"

"Do you think I can survive?"

"Why not? As the saying goes: it is better to live than die."

Qin Dujiang said: "You don't understand."

Xiao Cheng snorted: "If you understand, you will die, then I would rather not understand."

Put food on the table: "But you should know how to eat."

Qin Dujiang was silent for a while and then asked, "Can I go see him?"

"He? You mean sir, right?"

"Sir? Is that what you call him? It's quite appropriate."

Xiao Cheng said: "Sir, there are women in the room. It is not suitable for you to go, but I can report it on your behalf. As for whether you will come, it depends on your luck."

"Thank you."

After watching Xiao Cheng leave, Qin Dujiang still didn't get up, let alone touch the food on the table. He couldn't eat anything now.

I don't know how long I waited, but when I was almost desperate, Chen Youniao came, followed by Xiao Cheng.

Qin Dujiang struggled to get up, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he muttered: "Sit down, please sit down."

Chen Youniao sat down and looked at the food on the table: "This plate of beef has been stewed for more than an hour. It is very rotten and fragrant... What a pity."

Qin Dujiang: "..."

He found that sometimes this gentleman spoke so wildly and unreasonably that people were caught off guard and couldn't figure out what he meant.

Could it be that this is the style of an expert?

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I didn't come here last night to ask for help."

Chen Youniao said: "I know you are not here asking for help, but you are here asking for death, and you want to die in my hands. The problem is, I don't want to be such a murderer."

"If I lose at your hands, my life will be yours."

Chen Youniao smiled and said, "What do you mean, are you trying to blackmail me and I will die?"

Qin Dujiang's face looked ashen: "I have no meaning in living anymore."

"Just because you lost a game?"

"Not only was I defeated, but I also lost my sword. You should understand the significance of the sword to a swordsman. The sword is where the person is, but the sword dies and the person dies!"

Chen Youniao suddenly pulled out the sword he had with him and asked, "What is this?"

Qin Dujiang was stunned: "The sword is your sword!"

Chen Youniao added: "This is not only my sword, it is also the sword that defeated you."

"Yes……"

Qin Dujiang painfully admitted that he held a famous sword in the world, but was defeated by such a mediocre iron sword.

Chen Youniao suddenly took action, flicking his fingers on the sword several times. With a clang, the sword broke into several pieces and fell to the ground: "Now, my sword is destroyed, do I have to die too?"

Qin Dujiang was stunned. In an instant, a strange realization flashed through his mind like lightning, illuminating the confusion and confusion that had been accumulated there.

He made a vow since he was a child to pursue the highest level of swordsmanship throughout his life. He has practiced countless sword techniques and sword manuals. He has traveled all over the world and constantly looks for people to compete with others.

But after turning thirty, Qin Dujiang found that his swordsmanship had stagnated, as if he had encountered an indescribable obstacle and could no longer make progress.

He was very distressed and got into trouble with the government, so he simply exiled himself and came to Sanchuan Town, hoping to hone his skills and gain some understanding in this chaotic place.

However, the years passed by in a hurry, and I always stayed in the same place.

In a few years, Qin Dujiang will grow old in wasted time, falling from his peak and getting worse...

But just now, Chen Youniao broke the sword with a snap of his finger, which gave Qin Dujiang a feeling of clearing away the fog and seeing the moonlight: It turned out that the thing that had put a heavy burden on his mind over the years, and he couldn't let it go, was actually the world-famous sword in his hand!

Xiao Cheng, who was listening in the audience, also had his eyes lit up and he had some understanding.

Having said that, there is no need to say any more. If Qin Dujiang still can't figure out other things and gets into trouble, then it would be no shame for him to die.

Chen Youniao turned around and left, Xiao Cheng followed him. Before leaving the house, the man did not forget to turn around and blinked narrowly at Qin Dujiang, who was silently meditating: "Jianchi, do you understand now?"

Coming outside, Chen Youniao raised the remaining hilt of the sword in his hand: "A Cheng, I'm sorry, I broke your sword."

Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "Sir, I have six swords like this, and I will give you another one later."

Chen Youniao said: "I always take it from you, I feel sorry for you."

Xiao Cheng was addicted to jokes: "It's not a famous sword in the world, it's not worth a lot of money."

Chen Youniao took out a booklet and said, "This contains some of my insights and insights into the way of swordsmanship. I'm keeping it as it is of no use, so I will give it to you to read. It may be of some use."

Xiao Cheng couldn't help being stunned and asked in disbelief: "Given it to me?"

Chen Youniao smiled and said: "This book is based on the ancient scroll of sword tactics you gave me. I just evolved it, merged it with others, and converted it into the form of a sword manual. This book is specially written for you, take it."

"

"Thank you sir."

Xiao Cheng bowed respectfully and took it with both hands. Although he hadn't read it yet, he knew very well what this booklet meant. It was definitely a secret book that could be used as a family heirloom and would be worth ten thousand dollars.

Chen Youniao asked again: "The Taoists have all gone out to collect supplies?"

Xiao Cheng said hurriedly: "Yes."

"There won't be any trouble, just be careful."

"It's okay... Sir, your sword strike last night was enough to establish your authority. Once we are ready, we will set off tomorrow morning."

Chen Youniao nodded and said: "Okay, let me look at the map. After leaving Sanchuan Town, if you walk for a few days, you can enter the Central Plains area. Outside is Naluyun County."

Xiao Cheng said reluctantly: "When we arrive at Luyun County, we have to go our separate ways."

Chen Youniao said: "There is no banquet in the world that never ends. We will meet again if we have the opportunity in the future."

When he returned to the room, Huamei was still asleep. He stood in front of the window and looked out, feeling a lingering uneasiness in his heart.

Last night, Chen Youniao, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart. He felt that someone was peeping outside, but he concentrated on observing, but could not find any movement.

On a whim, predict the future...

This is the innate ability that a practitioner has after successfully transforming into a god. The specific effects fluctuate with the level of cultivation. The higher the level, the clearer it becomes.

Based on Chen Youniao's current Taoist practice, that kind of spiritual touch seems to be obscure, unless the Yin Shen is released to sense it everywhere.

But for practitioners at this stage, the Yin Shen is extremely important and fragile, and cannot easily leave the body, especially in a strange and unknown environment. Once you go out and encounter danger, you will regret it if you don't have time to come back.

Therefore, since leaving Haidai County, Chen Youniao has paid great attention to protecting his Yin Shen and has never left his body.

He couldn't find anyone, but he was certain that there must be such a person lurking outside, and he was probably a master of entering the inhuman realm.
