Chapter 29: Illusion Before Death?

"Spirit tablet of Zhao Ge."

"Spirit tablet of Zhao Qian."

Li Yi followed the Zhao Ge father and daughter to the main hall of this small courtyard, but saw that the main hall was arranged like a mourning hall. The ground was covered with white circular paper money, and in the middle there were two coffins. Two spirit tablets were set up in front of the coffins, and there was an incense burner beside each spirit tablet, with a stick of incense inserted in front of the incense burner.

That stick of incense was very long, burning slowly, emitting a strange fragrance.

"We entered the Ghost Street by pretending to be dead. To deceive the Yin soldiers, we made this arrangement. Do you see the two sticks of incense in the middle? That is Soul-Leaving Incense. Before that stick of incense burns out, we must return to this courtyard and lie in the coffins to safely return to the world of the living. If an accident happens, we can only turn into lonely ghosts and wander in the Ghost Street." Zhao Ge said.

Although Li Yi didn't understand, he roughly understood some things. He asked curiously: "This is dangerous, why do you enter the Ghost Street?"

"It's to buy medicine." Zhao Qian's pair of eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Li Yi.

Zhao Ge continued: "I was injured by a Yin god, my soul was damaged, and I need Coffin Ganoderma to make medicine to heal, otherwise I won't live past a season. This kind of medicinal material is only sold on the Ghost Street, so my little daughter and I risked entering this place."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi understood immediately.

Zhao Ge asked at this moment: "I observe that the little brother's footsteps are messy, and his breathing has no method. He should not have practiced martial arts, right?"

"Practiced martial arts?" Li Yi shook his head immediately: "No, I have never practiced martial arts."

He had a flexible brain and had already followed the customs of the place, and his speech began to learn their style.

"This is strange. Without learning martial arts, how can you have such a physique? Just now when I pulled you, your whole body's skin and flesh were tense, and you used strength subconsciously. Your strength is incredibly great." Zhao Ge looked at Li Yi again, feeling a bit surprised.

"Maybe I have natural divine strength." Li Yi said: "My little partner has always praised me, Yi's divine bravery, unique in the ages."

"Pfft~!"

Zhao Qian, who was on the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "You look like this, I can knock you down with one hand, and still natural divine strength? Just bragging."

Li Yi also laughed.

"Yi's divine bravery, unique in the ages? Good literary talent, good evaluation. Your partner must not be an ordinary person. However, I am happy to see hunters, and want to weigh whether you, this junior, are really worthy of such an evaluation." Zhao Ge sensed Li Yi's extraordinary nature at this moment, rolled up his sleeves, and walked over in big strides.

"Old man, what do you want to do?" Li Yi was a bit inexplicably nervous by that 'loving' gaze.

"Li Mengde, try to counterattack as much as possible, I want to see your muscles and bones." Zhao Ge suddenly reached out a palm, directly pinched Li Yi's arm, and the five fingers were like iron, exerting force together.

The fingers sank deeply into his skin, flesh, and bone gaps, locking his acupoints, flesh, and tendons.

With this grab, even the strongest junior would have half his body numb, and then kneel down in pain.

"Then I'm offended." Li Yi understood, this person wanted to test his skills.

Although he didn't know the reason, he didn't want to be looked down upon. Although his arms felt numb and weak, it was not enough to make him unable to resist.

Exerting force suddenly, he raised his arms high, and lifted Zhao Ge's thin body together.

"Strength penetrating the whole body? What a joke." Zhao Ge exclaimed.

"Be careful." After Li Yi lifted Zhao Ge, he smashed him towards the ground suddenly.

The body of a cultivator after evolution and transformation is fierce and unreasonable, and cannot be easily bound.

But Zhao Ge turned around flexibly, avoided Li Yi's heavy blow, and then his rough palm grabbed along his arm all the way, each time accurately knocking on his big acupoints, bone gaps, muscles, tendons, and skin membranes.

"Still not falling down?" He whispered, like a thunderclap.

"This little strength, I can still hold on." Li Yi hit Zhao Ge with a punch with his other hand.

No technique, just pure speed and strength.

Zhao Ge did not dodge, received the punch with one hand, and then took the opportunity to print a palm on Li Yi's chest.

Li Yi only retreated half a step, but soon kicked out a foot.

"Hmm?" Zhao Ge was even more surprised. That palm of his was enough to crack Li Yi's ribs, but the result was just a stagger of his body?

This physique, is it a monster?

What's more wonderful is that he can still counterattack.

Although that kick was like a child fighting, without any method, Zhao Ge still received it with his leg against his leg.

"Bang!"

Zhao Ge felt his right leg a bit numb. This time he began to believe what Li Yi said a little bit. He really has natural divine strength.

However, he was even more delighted. Subsequently, he reached out his palm again, this time his strength was even greater.

Li Yi was still counterattacking. He only felt that every time Zhao Ge made a move, his body felt numb, briefly losing strength, which was very uncomfortable. However, cultivators have fast body adaptation and recovery after evolution. A few seconds later, he hit his punches and kicks again.

The two were one holding back to test, one frantically counterattacking.

As time passed gradually, Zhao Qian, who was watching the fun on the side, was also surprised. She thought Li Yi was a flowery pillow at first, although he was tall and fair, he was useless and only knew how to brag. But seeing her father's test of touching bones and exploring tendons, it was not the case.

"Father has already exerted heavy strength. If it were a young man who came to apprentice in the past, he would have to lie down in one or two moves. What kind of bones does this Li Yi grow, what kind of tendons does he grow? Where does he get such sufficient strength? Ghost Street is really magical, anything mind-boggling can be encountered." Zhao Qian also put away the idea of watching the fun and began to observe seriously.

Li Yi was young and vigorous. At this moment, being suppressed and beaten all the time, it was inevitable that he felt a bit aggrieved. Although Zhao Ge saved his life, he still wanted to fight back, not wanting to be looked down upon.

But no matter how he fought back, he would be parried.

His moves became faster and faster, and the angles became more and more tricky, and his body began to master some fighting techniques rapidly.

But even so, Li Yi still couldn't take advantage.

Every time he improved a little, this old man would be stronger, always suppressing him by a chip.

Li Yi didn't know that Zhao Ge was not a simple martial arts practitioner. In his world, he had tempered his muscles, bones, and skin, condensed his blood, and his energy had entered the acupoints, even being able to fight against Yin gods.

"Can't just improve a little, this is useless, must use some ultimate move."

He was thinking quickly in his mind.

But Li Yi had not learned martial arts, nor did he have any means of self-defense. He just followed the cultivation method of his world and constantly evolved.

No.

He had a move, and that was Eyewitness.

Li Yi had now opened the Spirit Medium himself, and logically he could also use Eyewitness.

The words that Liu Yan said before suddenly appeared in his mind: Spirit gathers in both eyes, eyes can kill people.

At this moment.

【Garbled text】

Li Yi was inspired, some kind of instinct was triggered, his gaze condensed, and his spirit concentrated.

"Father, his eyes..." Suddenly, at this time, Zhao Qian discovered that Li Yi's eyes were actually glowing in this dim mourning hall.

It's not an illusion.

It was really glowing, and at this moment Zhao Qian smelled a trace of unusual danger, so she subconsciously reminded him.

But at this moment, Li Yi's gaze had already locked onto Zhao Ge.

Eyewitness!

But the next moment, Zhao Ge waved a punch, with blood energy appearing on the fist, spraying out, and smashed onto that gaze with one punch.

Instantly, the suddenly bright light extinguished in an instant.

Li Yi's Eyewitness was shattered by force.

Zhao Ge did not make a move again, but retreated a few steps, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, good, good, good, good, what a dragon tendon and tiger bone, what a natural divine strength, what a natural talent... I, Zhao Ge, have lived for most of my life, opened a martial arts school to teach martial arts to more than a thousand people, and have never seen such a natural talent like you."

"How generous heaven is to you, it just wishes it could stuff all the best foundations of martial artists in the world into you."

Laughing, laughing, his old eyes shed tears again.

This was tears of excitement and joy.

"Is your father crazy?" Li Yi asked with some doubts at this moment.

Zhao Qian rolled her eyes and didn't speak.

She understood her father's mood at this moment. This was finding a piece of jade passed down through the ages, but this silly big guy Li Yi who loves to brag seems not to know that he is very special.

After laughing excitedly for a while, Zhao Ge calmed down. He calmed his mood, stood with his hands behind his back, let his slightly hunched back straighten as much as possible, and then said seriously and earnestly: "Li Yi, Li Mengde, apprentice to me. I will accept you as an indoor disciple. As long as you practice martial arts with me for three years, after three years I guarantee that you will be invincible in Xingzhou. Twenty years, no, as long as ten years, you will definitely be able to run rampant in the world. In the future, you might be able to determine the world with your fists, suppress the eight states, sit on the golden throne, and make ghosts and gods worship."

"Apprentice? Invincible in Xingzhou? Where is Xingzhou? Determine the world with fists? What does this mean... Is my illusion before death getting more and more serious? It's just that this Wu Xia-style dream is a bit outrageous, I don't usually like reading Wu Xia novels either."

Li Yi blinked, full of doubts.

He felt that things were getting stranger and stranger.

Also, am I not on Earth anymore? Can I still go back? *** ### Chapter 30: Apprenticing
