The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Dark clouds covered the moon in the sky, and the stars were dim.

There are vegetables planted on both sides of the corridor in the middle of the courtyard, but no flowers or grass.

The figure stood in the center of the corridor, hazy and mysterious, seeming to be there and not there at the same time.

After a while, the figure moved slowly without making any sound, as if there was no breath at all.

She walked to the vegetable field next to her, walking on the autumn vegetable leaves without touching the soil with her feet, and then came to a piece of new soil, where Lin Chong's body was buried.

After looking at the soil, the figure turned around, like a ghost in the dark night, drifting away in front of the wooden door of the house.

The wooden door was bolted from the inside, and the figure made no movement. She was wrapped in a black cloak, covering not only her body, but also her head and face.

Then he went to the window, which slid up and down.

After the upper horizontal sash is pushed open, it must be supported with a window rod, and a small wooden hook is used to open the lower side to prevent it from shaking in the wind.

Because the weather has entered autumn and the evening is cold, the windows are also closed at this time.

He stood looking at the figure for a moment, then suddenly blew a breath at the window.

The window is made of two layers of white burr paper inside and outside, which is commonly known as window paper.

Window paper is actually very thick, blocks wind and transmits light. It has been used for a long time in later generations. Even if cheap glass appeared, it was not completely eliminated. Instead, it was used as kite paper for a long time.

The so-called green forest robbers, small thieves who steal fragrance and jade, all sneak to the window first, listen carefully to the sound, then wet the window paper with saliva, and poke it gently. Because the paper is wet, a small window will appear without any sound. hole, then observe the situation inside and wait for an opportunity to take action.

At this time, the figure just blew into the window, and two holes appeared in the window paper with the same line.

Due to weather conditions in the south, most window papers are single-layered. In the north, where winter is cold, they are always double-layered. Double-layered paper is more troublesome to pierce than single-layered paper. And by blowing air through, double-layered paper is much more difficult than single-layered paper. It's as simple as one equals two.

Or even ten times more difficult.

The key point is that if the paper is not wetted with saliva, there will be a sound, but the figure blew through two layers in one breath, but no sound was made at all.

Lin Chong was always vigilant when sleeping. In fact, the root of the disease that fell in the Fengxue Mountain Temple back then went up to Liangshan, and he was always fighting for power. He was afraid that he would be hacked to death by people sent by Song Jiang in his sleep, so he was always vigilant.

At this moment, he felt the cool breeze blowing on his cheeks. He suddenly woke up and opened his eyes suddenly.

The cool breeze was actually not strong, but he was very skilled in martial arts and subconsciously on guard, so he woke up.

Something was wrong, this was Lin Chong's first reaction.

It is not a completely sealed house. It is normal to feel the wind when lying on the kang, but the current wind is a thief wind, and there is a wisp of thief wind blowing randomly.

Zeifeng is the wind that blows through small cracks. It is strong and stiff, and people will get sick if they stay there for a long time.

Although Lin Chong woke up, his body did not move and he did not even open his eyes.

The hand under the quilt quietly held a few flying needles. Although he was now using the Zhuxie sword technique, it did not mean that he had given up on the skill of turning the sun needle.

There was no unusual movement outside the window. Lin Chong gathered all his energy to listen carefully, and at the same time he was cautious. If something went wrong, he would immediately take action without giving the other party the slightest chance.

He felt that the great shaman he killed before had an accomplice, and he must have come to investigate after seeing that he had not returned home. However, this was due to his negligence. He did not expect that more than one shaman would sneak into the city.

He also knew about the opening of the city gate in the past two days. Although he did not dare to apply for the access voucher, he still believed in the role of this thing. After all, who is Zhao Tong? But I didn't expect that there was still an omission, and the shaman was allowed to enter.

After a while, there was still no movement outside the window. Lin Chong slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the window with the corner of his eye. After a quick glance, he immediately broke into a cold sweat.

I saw a dark figure standing in front of the window, motionless, like a ghost, facing the window.

There were two holes as big as fingernails clearly cut out on the window paper. He looked along the holes and could see what seemed to be dark eyes on the other side of the holes, and the whites of the eyes moving slowly.

Lin Chong's hand holding the needle became harder and harder, but he looked worriedly at Hu Sanniang and Xiao Lintu who were sleeping soundly beside him, and felt a little at a loss.

The martial arts of the person outside the window must be higher than that of the high-pitched-voiced great wizard who came before. That great wizard is already at the master level, so this person is at least a top-notch grandmaster, or even a half-step grandmaster.

In this case, if a fight breaks out, the mother and son next to him may be implicated. He is not afraid. If he can kill the grandmaster with one sword, it means that he has been promoted to the half-step grand master.

So when two half-step masters fight, Sanniang and her son are so close together, it seems impossible not to get involved.

And if someone outside was half a step taller than the Grand Master... Lin Chong's eyes were twitching. In that case, relying on his strange light skills, he might be able to escape, but the mother and son would probably end up here.

When he thought of this, Lin Chong's heart suddenly felt like a knife. Why was his fate so rough?

When he is cowardly and does not want to cause trouble, he is bullied and framed by the powerful. When he is ambitious and wants to make a bright future, he is intrigued and suppressed at every turn. Even when there is hope, he suddenly dies.

But when I want to give up everything, plan to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, stop fighting, and grow vegetables for the rest of my life, instead the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, troubles keep coming, preventing me from fading out of the circle of right and wrong.

Lin Chong felt so resentful in his heart. He originally thought that my fate was up to me, but now it turns out that God is always against him, but he has no power to break free and change.

He sighed slightly and looked at the black shadow outside the window. The black shadow was motionless, but Lin Chong knew that the other party had been staring at him.

You have to face what you have to face, even if the ending is bleak, you can't escape it.

Lin Chong was hesitating in his heart whether to speak or to attack violently, when the black shadow outside suddenly made a sound.

"Humph..." It was a cold snort.

Lin Chong suddenly trembled. The voice didn't sound very loud, but when it fell into his mind it was like thunder, causing his condensed blood to almost collapse.

Could it be that the other party is practicing voice martial arts? Lin Chong knew about rare methods such as the lion's roar and the heavenly dragon's roar, and he couldn't help but doubt it at this moment.

Sanniang, who was standing next to her, snorted coldly and woke up immediately. She opened her eyes and saw the black shadow outside the window. She was about to exclaim, but she thought of Xiao Lintu who was still sleeping next to her. She immediately stretched out her palm to cover her mouth.

Lin Chong slowly sat up from the kang. He kept his eyes out of the window. His plan to launch a surprise attack had failed. The other party did not give him this chance at all.

He could feel that he was locked by a force of energy, and any movement was under the opponent's attention. Not to mention sneak attacks, even small movements without stepping forward could not escape the opponent's perception.

At this moment, we can only face the opposite.

Fortunately, the other party did not take action immediately. He was able to be more calm. In the darkness, he could not wink at Hu Sanniang. Lin Chong could only say: "Take care of Tu'er."

Hu Sanniang was shocked and frightened when she heard this. She clearly felt the caution and determination in Lin Chong's tone. This was different from when she was eating before. At that time, although there were people outside, Lin Chong was extremely calm, calm and confident, but now...

Hu Sanniang immediately leaned over to protect Xiao Lintu, and then said: "Don't worry, Sir, as long as I don't die..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by an indistinguishable voice outside the window: "Lin Chong, you are so bold!"

The sounds overlapped and overlapped, as if they were echoing on the mountain wall. It was impossible to distinguish between male and female. The syllables were sometimes delicate, sometimes powerful, and they were endlessly complicated and chaotic.

This sound seemed to have some kind of abnormal power, which could affect the movement of people's Qi and blood. Hu Sanniang's body trembled, and her arms could barely support her, making it difficult for her to make any other movements. Lin Chong's thick eyebrows were raised high at this time. He held the red thread flying needle in one hand and pulled out the black sword from under the mattress with the other hand. He didn't need to go around the door and went straight to the window to kill.

"puff!"

"Stab!"

"Boom..."

From Lin Chong leaping up to breaking the window and raising his sword to attack, it only took a breath or two.

But when he reached the window, he didn't even breathe, so he flew back, his eyes full of shock and horror...

The night was extremely dark and Zhao Tong had already returned to the hall. He did not light the candles and sat alone in the darkness, meditating.

After just finishing the endgame and hinting at Xiao Lizhi's abandonment of his son, he actually entered the epiphany directly. This epiphany allowed him to understand part of the true meaning of the realm of heaven and man, thus opening the door to this realm for him.

At this time, he was already halfway to the realm of martial arts. As soon as he entered this realm, all his previous martial arts knowledge immediately became full of flaws.

Even the commonly used domination fists, magical movements, and various changes, etc., now seem to be no magical stunts.

Even Kunpeng Three Fantasy is not perfect without flaws.

Even the fourteenth fatal sword had flaws and flaws in his eyes.

All martial arts have loopholes. If you practice martial arts without practicing martial arts, you will end up in vain.

Martial arts is the essence of martial arts, and gong is the essence of martial arts. Only by practicing both internal and external skills can one truly achieve mastery in martial arts, achieve proficiency, and reach the state of transformation.

He felt that the Everlasting Changchun Kung was constantly arousing qi and blood in his body, and this qi and blood was infused into his muscles and bones, making him seem to have endless power, linking internal and external forces, and endless life.

In the realm of heaven and man, what is heaven and man? In martial arts, there is the unity of man and sword, the union of man and sword, and the union of man and gun.

As for martial arts, the realm of heaven and man is the unity of heaven and man.

Heaven is the general outline of the rules and laws of the world. There are cold and warm, rain and snow, water and fire, birth, old age, sickness and death, sowing in spring and hiding in autumn. These can be said to be some of the detailed rules under the sky.

The realm of heaven and man is to align one's martial arts with these natural laws.

But this kind of compatibility is not something that can only be achieved with talent and hard work. After all, at this point in martial arts, it is not just polishing your fists and feet or stimulating your energy and blood that can make you fit in with nature.

Talent and hard work are not the only two conditions for success in the world.

Three points of talent, seven points of hard work, the total is really ten points, but the real perfection is actually twelve points.

Twelve points are the great perfection of worldly affairs. There are twelve hours in a day, twelve months in a year, twelve zodiac signs, twelve earthly branches, and twelve zodiac signs. The great perfection is twelve.

The two missing points are fate and luck.

Yuan is chance, opportunity and fate.

Luck is luck, time is luck.

If you want to enter the realm of heaven and humans, talent and hard work are not enough. You must at least have some chance and luck.

As for this chance and luck, no one can explain the reason behind it.

As the saying goes, I don’t know where it starts and where it ends.

Destiny comes and goes, destiny ends.

As the saying goes, heaven and earth are all working together in time, and heroes of luck are not free.

From time to time, the wind brings the Tengwang Pavilion, and the thunder blows to recommend the blessing monument.

When time goes, gold turns into iron, and when transportation comes, iron turns into gold.

Times make heroes.

Whether Mi Zhenting or Huang Shang, both have first-class talent, not to mention diligence and hard work, so they are at the top of their game.

But if you want to take a step forward, talent and hard work are not enough. You also need a trace of chance and luck.

And Zhao Tong was thinking about this chance and fortune at the moment. Now that he had entered the gate of heaven and man, there was no obstacle to continuing upward, so he could calm down and think carefully.

The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. Mi Zhenting and others are all insiders, so no matter how clear they are in speaking and analyzing, they seem to be transparent and flawless, but in fact they are still confused.

Zhao Tong thought about this matter. It is indeed difficult to grasp the opportunity and fate. After all, who can really explain the underlying truth?

But he also thought that there seemed to be some traces to follow. Two of his several epiphanies were due to his traitor Yuan Ying. After Yuan Ying played with the sword carelessly and showed off triumphantly, he entered the epiphany.

And this time before, this time it was because of Xiao Lizhi. He set up the endgame chessboard and abandoned the killing method. Xiao Lizhi ran out of the door in panic. He looked funny, and then entered the epiphany, and this epiphany directly led to the next step. The gate of heaven.

If Yuan Ying had not been accepted as a traitor, or if Xiao Lizhi had not been kept by his side, would these epiphanies still have occurred? Probably not possible.

Enlightenment is not like a regular thing. What should come will come sooner or later, and what doesn't come will never come.

Then, it was precisely because of his actions of accepting disciples and leaving Xiao Lizhi that he had an epiphany and finally stepped into the gate of heaven.

But maybe, without these two, he would have contact with someone else, and he would have an epiphany at a certain moment, but it had nothing to do with these few times. It was another chance and fortune.

But no matter which one, it is always inseparable from the word intersection. To put it bluntly, it is actually cause and effect!

Accepting Yuanying as a disciple and leaving Xiao Lizhi behind are all reasons.

Where there is a cause, there is an effect, and the effect is the reward of the cause.

Although Zhao Tong didn't know the reason for the fruit of chance, the truth was definitely correct.

If you stay in the house without going out or taking a step forward, just thinking about how to enter the heavens and beings, and stupidly waiting for the opportunity, you will definitely not be able to wait.

Because there are no people around in the house, it may be difficult to form a cause. Without a cause, there will be no effect. Without the intersection of worldly people, there will most likely be no chance.

Opportunities are not something that can be thought up behind closed doors. Opportunities are only possible if various factors are entangled.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tong took a long breath, and suddenly felt that his mind was a little clearer. He had reached the half-step of heaven, could the quasi-celestial being be far away?
