in the edge

Chapter 428 Practice brings true knowledge

At dawn, all three groups returned to the inn.

The five people from Songzhou came back with the corpses of two monsters. They looked like warriors in ancient times, looking so arrogant and majestic. Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian brought back two rabbits, which could barely be regarded as delicacies. As for Su You Fang and Beidou... they brought nothing back except scars all over their bodies.

Of course, this time, Du Chengfeng did not come forward to drive them out.

He is still thinking about his own problem.

“It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.”

Du Chengfeng, who had not slept all night, finally summed up the experience and lessons.

It is unreliable and unrealistic to expect these so-called masters in the eyes of ordinary people to help him clean up those evil monsters that pop up from time to time. In the past, the reason why he could easily find people who could help him do things was because In the final analysis, it was just luck and the person I found happened to be relatively reliable.

But that’s the problem. Where are there really so many reliable people?

Unreliability is the norm and unreliability is the reality. When he entrusts things to others, he must be prepared to watch others mess up things. Obviously, he did not have this awareness before. He thought his method could solve the problem, but in fact, judging from the current situation, his style was not even as good as that of Yuan Zhixian.

Du Chengfeng just wanted to say that it was not that at all.

The old man hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, and it is even applicable to the current situation. For example, he can just take action and go out a few times at night to kill all the evil monsters within a hundred miles. All the evil monsters are dead. , naturally no one will bother him - it sounds like a feasible plan, but if it is really implemented...

It was just two rabbits, and he really didn't care much.

Du Chengfeng suddenly slapped his head.

Obviously, the old man regarded these two rabbits as the two pieces of pork given to the master when he became a disciple - so in the eyes of the old man, everyone had sent the tuition fees to his door, and he had put the tuition fees next to the stove. , doesn’t this mean accepting someone as an apprentice? What else can't be done to save face?
"So... accept a disciple?"

Who doesn’t have bad times?

Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

At least Yuan Zhixian really solved the problem, what about him?

"It turns out... there are still things that power can't solve!"

Although he has never said this point of view, he has actually been using actions to implement a certain idea buried in his heart - "As long as the power is strong enough, any problem can be solved." He is very fond of it. This has been the case for a long time.

"Ah? Shu Xiu?"

However, after the old man took the rabbit, he was not in a hurry to leave. He looked hesitant and seemed to want to say something.

At that time, he was complacent about this, and even attributed it to luck, thinking that Magistrate Yuan met him because he was too unlucky.

"Although you usually only learn cooking from me, old man, I can see that you are probably very capable...I don't understand those things about fighting and killing, but since they have given you the training I brought it, otherwise you still..."

If he is really prepared to take this path, then he may have to spend the next half of his life fighting evil monsters.

At that time, he had just finished forging himself, compressing that powerful strength and body into this small body. The density was extremely high, and the strength was comparable to that of ultra-high alloy powder high-speed steel, but it was Yuan Zhixian's natural body. Nemesis, Yuan Zhixian, who is good at writing and ink, has lived his whole life, but he probably never thought that there would be times when his ink would not be effective.

The chaos after Yuan Zhixian's death has made him understand that even if he kills all the evil monsters, there will be new evil monsters to make up for them. They may come from outside, or they may be transformed by local masters themselves. As long as there are still As long as masters exist, these evil monsters are endless.

"What? Why did you accept it? Who did you accept it?"

Du Chengfeng was a little confused for a moment, just because the problem in front of him was too difficult to solve. He did have strong combat power, but he couldn't keep an eye on the entire town all the time.

If it cannot be solved, then the power is not strong enough. As long as the power is really strong enough, it can always solve the problem itself, or the person who created the problem.

"There must be a better solution."

Thinking like this, Du Chengfeng's eyes stopped on the two rabbits beside the pot.

"Are you going to braise or stew these two rabbits?"

if you can……

"As I said, master, if you want to eat, just take it."

This time it was his turn to be held up, and it was his turn to face this problem that was overwhelming him - indeed, he was indeed very good at fighting, but the current situation was not something that could be solved simply by being able to fight.

Du Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the two rabbits in the old man's hand.

"What are you..."

"Those knights, who else could there be? Just the ones who were grinding in the backyard before."

Using oneself to save others, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of the previous confrontation.

Seeing that Du Chengfeng still looked confused, the old man sighed.

"Where should I start?"

"Otherwise, you should accept them."

"Perhaps Magistrate Yuan faced the same situation when we first fought?"

At this time, the old man in charge of the inn walked in.

But these words that came out of his mouth made Du Chengfeng confused.

But now it seems...

"If you don't want it, I'll take it away. I haven't eaten rabbit meat in a few years, so I'd rather take this bite."

Du Chengfeng became more and more confused.

"What's wrong, master?"

Du Chengfeng pondered for a moment.

This is really a solution.

Accepting apprentices and passing on the fighting style. Indeed, the core strength is something he cannot teach, but he can at least teach the fighting style, teach awareness, teach these people how to fight, and teach them how to deal with power. Understanding - Once you have a certain understanding of power, you will surely be able to become stronger. At least you will have more confidence when dealing with those evil monsters.

This is indeed a good idea, and it will create a group of strong people. Of course, the most important thing is that it is exactly the same as Du Chengfeng's own original style of doing things.

Professional matters must be left to professional people, and he is responsible for dealing with these professional people.

So the problem is here too. What can he teach?

It seems that nothing is suitable for teaching. The reason why he has the power he has today is full of too many accidents. Even his understanding of power is not actually common to the general public - to put it simply, this method He is really the only one who can leave. If anyone else uses his method, there is a high probability that it will not work.

For example, with his current physique, he knows that he can simulate himself into ultra-high alloy powder high-speed steel through firm will, but if he teaches this thing, those people may not even know what ultra-high alloy powder high-speed steel is. Do not know at all.

As for a firm will, it is even more nonsense to the public. It is not that he has never talked about this topic with others, but it is obvious that everyone is happy to regard the phrase "a firm will can change everything" as a An ordinary chicken soup for the soul.

Therefore, he is actually not suitable for teaching others, and his approach can easily mislead others.

"You... forget it, do whatever you want."

The old man sighed and said nothing more.

Obviously, this old man is very self-aware and knows that he can't actually have much influence on Du Chengfeng, so he just came over and said something casually. After all, he is still very optimistic about Du Chengfeng as a teacher, not to mention Du Chengfeng. If Bian really accepts a disciple, the old man can live like a master.

It's a pity that Du Chengfeng didn't agree, so the old man left.

Not even the two rabbits.

The two rabbits that were put back on the stove were still trembling, looking like they were scared to death. It should be said that Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian were quite skilled. They just caught two live rabbits and brought them back—— You must know that Du Chengfeng himself is not very efficient at doing this kind of thing. After all, rabbits not only run fast but can also burrow into the ground. If you really want to run away, it will take a lot of effort to catch it.

But no matter how hard it is to catch, a rabbit is still a rabbit after all. This thing may not be the real bottom of the food chain, but when it comes to rabbits, they are definitely the ones that get eaten.

"Just like the people of Sanshan Town."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of those thrilling nights yesterday.

Although he said that he wanted to kill the monsters who came to seize the territory, in fact, he also admitted that he was indeed trying to be a hero - to say that the people of Sanshan Town died in Jianghu vendetta, That has nothing to do with him. He will take retribution for the hatred he has made, but if it is replaced by evil monsters...those people are innocent after all.

After all, he was too kind-hearted to see anyone die.

Of course, he never thought about involving himself. He only knew that working hard would not solve the problem. What he had to do now was to systematically solve the problem itself.

"so……"

Du Chengfeng's eyes turned to the two rabbits.

"You guys, want to become stronger?"

"...?"

The two rabbits stared at him with confusion in their eyes.

Obviously, the rabbits couldn't understand what he said. These two rabbits couldn't even do the most basic confusion. They only knew how to chew vegetable leaves.

"It's not enough to just eat."

Du Chengfeng shook his head.

"You guys need to be smarter."

"...?"

The two rabbits still looked confused, they had no idea what was being said.

But immediately, the two rabbits realized that something was wrong.

After all, no matter how slow they are, they at least understand dangerous things like blades.

The blade fell on them, which made the two rabbits even more frightened. They shivered and even peeed out of their bodies. They may have thought about trying to escape, but they couldn't do it. They were stiff. Their bodies have already left them with no way to escape.

But unlike what the two rabbits feared, the falling blade did not chop into their necks.

Instead, the handle of the knife was stuffed under the front paws of the two rabbits.

In just an instant, the eyes of the two rabbits turned visibly red.

"Huh? Is it really okay?"

Du Chengfeng looked at the two rabbits with great interest. After all, this was his first time doing this - but when it came to this issue, he had actually been wondering about it for a long time, that is, since there are evil weapons in this world, evil masters , there are even evil spirits monsters, so why are there no evil spirits animals?
The evil spirit monsters may have the appearance of animals, but they are not animals at all. The essence is that the flesh and blood of the evil spirit masters have been alienated by the evil spirit. Their appearance similar to animals is more like exposing the beastly nature hidden deep in their hearts.

So Du Chengfeng has always been curious, what would happen if evil spirits were directly injected into animals?
It doesn't seem to be the case.

As far as the previous attempt was concerned, he had stuffed a scimitar into each of the two rabbits, but looking at it now, the eyes of the two rabbits were just a little red, and they didn't even mean to let the evil spirit enter their brains. Don't let evil spirits enter your body.

"Shouldn't it? Could it be that animals are more resistant to evil spirits?"

Du Chengfeng became more and more puzzled. The development of things was a little different from what he thought - you know that he was already prepared to watch these two rabbits turn into monsters, but this is the result? That's it?

"It can't be that I have lost my evil spirit, right?"

Du Chengfeng looked at the two scimitars.

It seems to be true. After all, he had considered the endurance of the rabbit before, so he chose these two relatively ordinary scimitars, which are used by many prairie warriors. Of course, these two scimitars also have evil spirits, but which one? The scimitar of the prairie warrior has never seen blood?
Generally speaking, this dose should be almost enough for ordinary people. For example, if the old man just picks up these scimitars, the evil energy will enter the brain on the spot, and even the evil energy can enter the body to a certain extent.

But looking at it now...

The appropriate dose for humans is a bit too small for these two rabbits.

"More efforts must be made!"

Taking out the Emperor's Cervical Sword from his waist, Du Chengfeng opened the hole and began to explore his inventory.

"I want to see where your limits are!"

As he said this, more and more weapons were taken out and placed under the front feet of the two rabbits one by one.

"Why is there still no change?"

Du Chengfeng became more and more puzzled. He couldn't figure out what was wrong. It couldn't be that animals were more resistant to evil spirits, right? Is there actually such a thing?
"It's a discovery."

Du Chengfeng, who was puzzled, could only put this idea aside for the time being. He originally wanted to see if these two rabbits could help him.

But what he didn't see was that the already red eyes of the two rabbits were so red that they were about to bleed.
