Li Ji's character is actually a contradiction. He was like this in his previous life. He was cautious and conservative, but also crazy and bold. When facing unknown things and unclear benefits, he is an out-and-out conservative, but once it comes to the root and the benefits are huge, he is extremely crazy. The reason why danger is terrible is that it is unknown. Once you have precautions, you will have the capital to take risks. As for the consequences of missing a strike, there is no need to consider it. There is no risk-free benefit in the world.
Chongfa called out the weakness of the well monster, and Li Ji did not hesitate, "Since the Taoist priest does not care about his life, why should Ji be afraid of a gamble?" He held the heavy sword and rushed forward. He also had a sense of etiquette for this charge. He put his body very high, with the intention of luring the monster to kill.
Li Ji had already thought about it. If he wanted to successfully stab this monster, how to avoid the scorpion's tail was the key. The scorpion's tail whipped too fast, like lightning. If he saw the scorpion's tail move and then dodged, it would be too late. So he raised his body and rushed up, trying to put his head in a relatively high position, so as to...
15 meters, which was 4.5 meters in the previous life. For a fencer, this was just the distance of a big lunge sprint. Li Ji did not pay attention to the scorpion's tail, but only stared at the little face. As soon as his body entered the distance of 15 meters, he immediately lowered his body and felt a sharp wind passing through the ends of his hair. He did not care about anything else. He gripped the ground with his feet, and the energy rose from his Yongquan point. He supported his knees, twisted his waist, sent his shoulders, and shook his wrists. His internal force merged into the heavy sword like a long dragon, and pierced into the center of the eyes of the little demon's face like lightning, and went straight into the handle... He let go and flipped over. Li Ji did not even look at the effect. He rolled over like a lazy donkey and was already turned out Two feet away, he could only hear the sound of the scorpion's tail whipping wildly behind him...
Chongfa was overjoyed, feeling the demon's power draining out, and immediately tried his best to stimulate his Dantian. The jade color, without any obstruction, surged through the well demon's waist and abdomen like a tide, and then all over his body. With another pinch of the seal, the ferocious and ferocious monster instantly broke into hundreds of large and small stones, "Hu... Haha, I finally killed you..." The Taoist was happy, relaxed after surviving the catastrophe, and the excessive overdraft of his magic power made him unable to hold on any longer. He could not help but slump to the ground and cross his legs to regulate his breathing...
Li Ji was lucky. Before the well demon died, the scorpion's tail whipped randomly but did not touch him, so he had the opportunity to stand behind the Taoist and watch how the demon was defeated. The scene was very shocking, hundreds of stones broke apart like the legendary corpse transformation, and the once powerful monster just disappeared like smoke, showing the power of Taoism.
The heavy sword was scattered among the stones, and Li Ji picked it up and saw that it was made in Germany in the previous life and the quality was guaranteed, and Allstar was unscathed. In addition to the heavy sword and hundreds of stones, the monster also left two things, a bead emitting an inexplicable glow, and a black inverted spike, which should be the scorpion tail sting. Resisting the urge to pick them up, Li Ji silently stood beside the Taoist with the sword in his arms to protect him. There is no doubt that these two things must be very precious. Li Ji also believed that even if he picked them up, Chongfa would not say anything, after all, he saved his life. But if he really did so, he would definitely lose something rare, which was also what Li Ji wanted to get at the risk of his life - opportunity...
When Chongfa and the monster were fighting fiercely, Li Ji had already thought clearly that the martial arts he had been pursuing was nothing. In this world, cultivation is the right answer. How to cultivate? Who should I learn from? Will the so-called cultivation sects in online novels appear in the world to accept disciples? I am 21 years old now, how many years do I have to wait? Besides, Cixi is a remote place, and even the town chronicles have not heard of any immortal cultivation for hundreds of years. If you wait here, you may be in vain even if your beard turns white... Shuangcheng is the same. There is nothing similar in my memory, but Chongfa comes from Shuangcheng, which means that with the status of the Li family, I am afraid that I have not yet come into contact with such high-end qualifications... A completely unfamiliar road, no clues, no connections, no guides, how much time does he have at the age of 21? ... Only the Taoist in front of him may be able to help him. Li Ji does not expect to ascend to heaven in one step. He only asks for an opportunity, a way...
In the distance, there are faint shouts from outside the wall. Perhaps seeing that so much time has passed, the brave villagers come to investigate the situation. Chongfa Taoist opened his eyes at this time, and it was obvious that he had recovered his breath. Although his face was still pale, it was much better than before. He stood up, looked at Li Ji meaningfully, rolled up his sleeves, and the beads, spikes, and hundreds of stones disappeared. He said, "I am ashamed. If there were no patrol today, I would have died..."
"You are too polite, Taoist priest. You are blessed with great power. It only took a short time to capture the monster... I have contributed a little, but I dare not take credit for it." Li Ji shook his hand hurriedly.
"You are arrogant at first and respectful later. Do you think I am a liar?" "..." The Taoist priest's eyes were vicious and a little narrow-minded. Li Ji complained in his heart.
"The Taoist sect attaches great importance to cause and effect. Now I can kill this beast with the help of patrol. What do you want? Just tell me..." The Taoist priest smiled and got back to the point. A Taoist priest like him hates to owe favors to others. If he doesn't repay them, his Taoist heart will always be jealous, which is troublesome.
"As a patrol officer in Cixi, I serve the country and the villagers. It is my duty to protect the country and the people. I just want to have a clear conscience. Even if I die, I will not back down. Why should I ask for a reward?
Taoist priest, you are joking..." Li Ji looked righteous. "You are so slick. These official-sounding words may fool the villagers, but in front of me, don't pretend to be a sage... After all, you have saved my life..." Chongfa glanced at Li Ji, "How about this, I have a hundred taels of gold to help you spend the rest of your life. We may not be rich and powerful, but it is not difficult to have enough food and clothing. What do you think?"
In Nanli Country, or even the entire Northern Cold Continent, gold is a very valuable currency. One tael of gold can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver. For ordinary people, the annual expenses of a family of several people are only a dozen taels of silver. Li Ji's salary is only three taels per month, and the official Xiao Ziming and his wife Xu Jihai only earn five taels per month. It can be seen how much money a hundred taels of gold is.
"Gold and silver, you can't bring them with you when you are born, and you can't take them with you when you die. Even if you have a fortune, you can't have more than three meals a day and sleep on a bed, which is not what I like..." Li Ji refused bluntly. "
Well? In this case, the old Taoist has an old relationship with the governor of Shuangcheng, and I can recommend you to the government office. The state capital is rich, and you can manage a region. It's better than the scenery you have in Cixi. What do you think?" The Taoist failed in one plan, so he came up with another one.
"Whether it is glorious or not is unknown, but it is certain that there will be many more masters and nobles above you. I am born cold and act unrestrained, but I don't like to be restrained and restricted by others." Li Ji didn't give in.
"Hmm? I see that although your swordsmanship is outstanding, it is unique. I think you have not learned the swordsmanship secrets of famous sects. Why don't I give you a set of top swordsmanship secrets. If you succeed in the future, who in the mortal world can control you?" The Taoist said impatiently.
"Even if you succeed in swordsmanship, can you deal with monsters like the well monster?" Li Ji turned the tables.
Taoist Chongfa's eyes widened with anger, "I have an elixir that can increase your lifespan by twenty years. It is made by immortals. Even ordinary generals and princes cannot get it. Are you satisfied?"
"What about after twenty years?" Li Ji sneered.
"You don't want this, you don't want that, you little mortal, do you really think that I am running a Tzu Chi Hall?" Chongfa shouted angrily, and a sense of pressure came over him.
Seeing the opportunity had come, Li Ji bowed deeply, "Old Immortal Master, please allow me to follow you, bring you tea and water, and serve you. I hope you will take me in..."
"Hey... I knew you had this in mind," Chongfa flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, "You are old, and your physique is not good. If you learn martial arts, you can become a local hero, but if you practice Taoism, you will achieve nothing in the end, and you will waste your life in vain..." As he spoke, the man had already gone far away.
