At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 538 A Big Event

It was noon, the sun was high in the sky, the dust on the official road was whitened, the weeds and flowers were so hot that their heads drooped, but the cicadas on the trees beside the road were singing hard, announcing to the world that midsummer was coming.

At this time, two figures passed the official road like galloping horses, the strong wind stirred up billowing dust, and the weeds beside the road shook their heads. Fleeing away, the originally noisy world became quiet.

These two figures ran for several miles one after the other, the former suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, turned around and said angrily: "Having chased this old man for a long time, isn't it enough?"

This person was dressed in black, wearing a ghost mask, his voice was as old as coming from a coffin, but there was clearly a trace of anger.

The man who was chasing after him also stopped, and saw that he had bright eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and was full of heroic vigor. He was obviously Gao Bufan, but at the moment he was panting, sweating profusely, steaming all over his body, and looked rather embarrassed.

It's no wonder, from dawn to noon, I ran at least [-] miles. Even a top expert like Gao Bufan couldn't take it anymore. The grimace in black was also not relaxed. Being chased by Gao Bufan was very furious, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Gao Bufan took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, and then said: "If the senior doesn't run away, can the junior chase you for a long time?"

The man in black with a grimace snorted coldly and said, "Why are you chasing after this old man, this old man owes you kid?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "Of course the senior owes nothing to the junior, but when the senior taught the junior inner family exercises, didn't the senior say that he would come back to check the progress of my cultivation? Why hasn't he appeared again for so many years?"

The grimacing man in black said coldly: "Did the old man say when he would come back for an inspection?"

Gao Bufan shook his head.

"Then it's over, the old man still has something to do, don't chase after him, or you will be rude to you kid." The grimacing man in black turned around and wanted to leave.

Gao Bufan hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, since the senior is back, why don't you check the progress of my cultivation by the way?"

The grimacing man in black said coldly: "No need, I kicked this old man out for a long time, and even checked him. In a few years, I'm sure I won't be your opponent anymore. Your kung fu has already achieved great success, so there's no need to check again."

Gao Bufan sweated secretly, frowned and said: "But the internal exercises passed down by the seniors have flaws."

The grimaced man in black let out a light snort and said, "You also found out?"

Gao Bu almost rolled his eyes, and said unhappily: "So, this exercise is indeed flawed?"

The ghost-faced man in black nodded and said: "That's right, this exercise was created by the old man. It combines the advantages of Buddhism and Taoism. It is not yet perfect, and it is normal to have defects."

Gao Bufan couldn't help but be quite speechless, this old thing is not kind, knowing that it has flaws and passing it on to others, it's clearly a trick to do harm, could it be that it's really like what the big brother bearded man guessed, the old thing is just a little kid who thinks of himself as an experimenter Rat?

"Tell me about the situation you encountered!" the grimacing man in black asked.

Gao Bufan couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words. Hearing the tone of the other party, it seemed that he wanted to help solve the problem, so he swallowed back the scolding words, and said: "There was no problem at first, but after the junior broke through two years ago, problems started. At first, it is easy to lose reason when you are extremely angry, and then you will be upset if you continue to practice. Later, layman Bai Yunshang from Bailian Nunnery taught a piece of "Viewing Clouds at Your Own" to overcome it temporarily, but then another problem appeared. Well, the inner breath usually stops suddenly, and you can't lift your strength, because of this problem, this junior has almost lost his life twice."

The ghost-faced man in black was silent when he heard the words, and he said after a long time: "I don't know where the problem is at the moment, I will tell you when I think of a solution."

Gao Bufan was puzzled and said: "Hasn't senior encountered such a problem?"

The ghost-faced man in black shook his head and said, "No."

Gao Bufan was skeptical: "Then why does this happen to the younger generation?"

"Everyone's constitution and experience is different, and it's no surprise."

Gao Bufan couldn't help but frowned: "The physique is understandable, but what does it have to do with the encounter?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. It's like the old man was originally a normal person and later became a cripple. Although you are very talented, you have no experience of becoming a cripple. In addition..."

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he asked: "What else?"

The man in black with a grimace said calmly: "It's nothing, you stretch out your left hand to give the old man a pulse."

Gao Bufan approached, stretched out his left hand, and the ghost-faced man in black stretched out two fingers to catch his veins, closed his eyes and said, "Let your blood flow."

Gao Bufan did as he said, staring at the ghost mask of the man in black at close range, he couldn't help thinking that if he made a sudden move at this moment, he might be able to take off the mask of the man in black!

Gao Bufan hesitated again and again, but finally gave up. At this time, the man in black with a grimace had already got his pulse, and withdrew his hand and said calmly: "Why didn't you just do it?"

Gao Bufan was slightly stunned, it seemed that his thoughts just now had been reflected in the circulation of qi and blood, and the man in black with a grimace had already noticed it. Fortunately, he was not impulsive just now, otherwise he would definitely not be able to get a bargain.

"Who is the senior? Why do you want to teach the juniors the exercises?" Gao Bufan had no choice but to get straight to the point: "There is no free lunch in this world. Seniors shouldn't just be so simple because they look pleasing to the eye, right?"

The grimacing man in black said coldly: "That's right, the old man does have his own purpose in teaching you the exercises."

"For what purpose?"

"The old man wants to use you to accomplish a great event."

Gao Bufan was surprised and said: "With the skills of the senior, what big things can't be done by yourself? You have to rely on the younger generation. You must know that the younger generation was just a mountain boy back then. If you can't do it, you can't do it."

The grimaced man in black chuckled and said, "High martial arts doesn't mean omnipotent. Some things can't be accomplished by martial arts alone. Even Zhang Zhongjian, who is as strong as the bearded man, is powerless in the face of thousands of troops."

Gao Bufan couldn't help asking: "Then what exactly is this senior going to do? You might as well make it clear that if you can do what you can, I'm sure you won't refuse."

The grimacing man in black said coldly: "I can't tell you now, and you can't do it with your current ability. Don't worry, when the time is right, the old man will naturally find you."

"Senior, can you be sure that I will agree to your request?" Gao Bufan raised his eyebrows.

The man in black with a grimace flashed his eyes, and said hesitantly: "If that time really comes, you will definitely not refuse, because it is also a good thing for you. Come on, I won't talk to you anymore. Your situation, old man I have understood, and I will let you know when there is a solution to the shortcomings of the cultivation method." After speaking, he turned around and wanted to do it.

Gao Bufan stepped in front of the grimacing man in black, and the latter's gaze sank and he said, "Why, do you still want to fight with the old man? With your current ability, I'm afraid you are not the old man's opponent. You can practice for a few more years." .”

Gao Bufan stared at the mask of the ghost-faced man in black and said: "The junior just wants to see the real face of the senior, maybe we know each other."

The grimace in black said calmly: "Don't worry, the old man will naturally meet you honestly on the day he asks you, don't waste your time here anymore, although Xu Shiji is a handsome talent, but Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen are not waiting for you, so I won't go back again Be careful to lose your wife and lose your army." After speaking, he jumped up and was several feet away.

Gao Bufan hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up chasing. The man in black with a grimace was so fast that he disappeared at the turning of the road in a few breaths.

"From a normal person to a cripple?" Gao Bufan couldn't help but fell into deep thought as he watched the direction where the ghost-faced man in black disappeared. Obviously, the ghost-faced man in black is a person with a story. Certainly refused to tell the story.

For some reason, Gao Bufan always felt that the grimacing man in black had a familiar smell to him, but he couldn't tell where this feeling came from. Anyway, since the other party said that he would meet honestly on the day he made the request, so Sooner or later, the day will come to light.

Gao Bufan calmed down, discerned the direction, and drove to Hejian County. Just as the black-clothed ghost said, Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen were not idle people, and he was a little worried that Xu Shiji would not be able to handle it.
