"Since the enlightenment of scientific thought, no one has believed that our ancestors could have copper and iron bones, fly over the eaves and walls, and do things that ordinary people cannot imagine, and the ancient martial arts world has declined. ￠￠￠￡,”

In the mountains and forests, the drizzle was hazy. Shen Qing, with white hair, looked at the young man sitting in front of him and asked in a voice: "Mr. Liu passed away?"

"Yes..." The young man who came to visit the old man nodded and replied, "The master passed away three months ago. Before his death, he asked me to come to you to practice."

"Your master is also my senior, and he should leave. After two hundred years of perseverance, he will become a monster." Shen Qing shook his head, then looked at the young man with sigh: "Meng Chu, I have heard of your name. Now that the spiritual energy is withering, you are one of the very few young masters."

"This is not worthy of praise." The young man lowered his eyebrows: "Hundreds of years ago, a master of my age could be seen everywhere."

Shen Qing nodded. Compared to the past, the ancient martial arts world is indeed withering talents. This is not a **, but the natural disasters have begun to rise. The spiritual energy that ancient martial arts practitioners rely on for survival has shrunk and become ordinary.

"Your master asked you to come to me to practice, but you should understand that our source of power is almost gone, and no matter how hard we practice, you will not be able to reach the level of our ancestors."

Shen Qing picked up the tea and said in a deep voice: "Go back, there is no need to pursue such outdated things anymore."

Ancient martial arts have lagged behind the times. In the past, ancient martial arts masters could be invulnerable to swords and guns, and had a long life. However, people with talented practice for decades will find it difficult to grow their lives for a year, and it is even more impossible to achieve copper and iron bones.

Now, the practice of ancient martial arts is just a joke. Many sects with a long history have even buried ancient books in the ground. They have opened their doors to travel. The newly acquired disciples are just learning some basic skills to strengthen their bodies.

The essence of ancient martial arts lies in spiritual energy. The ancestors can absorb spiritual energy and store it in their bodies, just like the internal strength in martial arts novels, to improve their minds and strengthen their bodies, and to do many incredible things.

However, the spiritual energy in the world has been dissipating for hundreds of years. Several generations of ancient martial artists wanted to find solutions, but they all regretted their deaths, and Shen Qing had already accepted his fate.

"I'm not willing..." Meng Chu said.

"No one is willing to do it. The government is not willing to do it." Shen Qing looked at Meng Chu. He knew that he was also working for the central government. Hundreds of years ago, when ancient martial arts was prosperous, the government and the ancient martial arts world were in an opposition. However, when ancient martial arts were about to become extinct, the government regarded it as a precious civilization and wanted to save it.

But over the centuries, all sects in the ancient martial arts world gave up fighting and worked together, and the government's support still failed to find a way to recover the spiritual energy.

The current view is that spiritual energy and science are opposite. They belong to two directions of human evolution, and after the rise of science, spiritual energy naturally disappeared.

"Go back, I can't teach you... What I have lost is a waste of time when I am studying." Shen Qing waved.

"You are the same generation as me, but older than me. I respectfully call you a senior brother... Senior brother, I inherited the name of Xiaoyaozi. You know I cannot give up ancient martial arts." Meng Chu said.

Shen Qing's face changed slightly. Xiaoyaozi was the first person who united the ancient martial arts world and the secular government hundreds of years ago to save spiritual energy. His generations of descendants have carried this mission. Now that many ancestors have fallen and ancient martial arts have withered, the name Xiaoyaozi is the leader of all ancient martial artists who exist in the world.

"Are you ordering me?"

"I dare not, I will not order any ancient martial artist. But brother, once I give up my cultivation, it means that the entire ancient martial arts world has given up." Meng Chu bent down and said, "I will leave this time first and come again another day."

He turned and left, Shen Qing looked at the back of the young man, knowing that he would never let him go of another job of Xiaoyaozi, which was to collect martial arts and scriptures from all sects, hoping that one day when the spiritual energy rises again, he would not let them lose.

When Shen Qing was young, he learned martial arts at an escort agency, and that escort agency was a sect. It has now disappeared for decades, and the only one who still has martial arts is him.

A few days later, Meng Chu visited again.

"Your marriage line is open."

When he saw him for the first time, Shen Qing noticed the difference on his face. Senior ancient warriors would look at his face. The most accurate one was also the basis for them to select disciples.

"On the way out of here that day, I met a few girls from the countryside." Meng Chu said lightly: "One of them ran over and asked about my name."

“This is interesting.”

Shen Qing's eyes were slightly brighter. In such a small city, Meng Chu would be out of place with other people in terms of appearance and dress. It is normal to attract girls' attention. But the temperament he exuded as an ancient martial artist can make the bravest girl retreat. Unexpectedly, someone would run over to talk to him.

"That's the object of your marriage line?"

"Maybe it, but I don't mean to marry a wife." Meng Chu replied. The powerful ancient warrior would not be bound by the marriage line. As long as he didn't have that idea, he would naturally not have it.

"She must be not pretty."

Shen Qing smiled and said, seeing the marriage line on Meng Chu's face, he really wanted it to come true. In this way, Meng Chu might give up that meaningless responsibility.

"From our perspective, she is pretty." Meng Chu denied that the girl had been pestering him these days. He ignored him. Most women had left long ago, but the girl seemed to think he was a little shy and kept around him, which made him a little tired.

According to ordinary people, he cannot be said to be a very beautiful girl. But for ancient martial artists, faces are not the criterion for judging beauty. Their power will take the initiative to make their faces beautiful.

The internal power of spiritual energy is similar to martial arts novels, but not exactly the same. This is another evolution of human beings. Evolution is to constantly improve their own process, so people with spiritual power will gradually become beautiful in any case.

Therefore, they don’t care about their faces. Their aesthetics lies in a person’s overall temperament, whether the body is healthy, whether it is not polluted, and whether the breath is natural and simple. People with these characteristics are beautiful.

Therefore, women who grow up naturally in the countryside are more favored by ancient martial artists than women who are spoiled in the city. The girl is a country girl. She has a simple personality, no makeup, and her body breath is very clean. In Meng Chu's eyes, she is considered a beautiful woman.

"Then you might as well marry her and end the mission of ancient martial arts. Isn't it good to be an ordinary person?" Shen Qing said, Meng Chu refused, but this time Shen Qing still didn't give Meng Chu what he wanted.

This went back and forth several times. Two months later, Shen Qing saw that Meng Chu's marriage line had changed.

"Your marriage line has become thicker, are you moved by that girl?"

"It's not as good as being moved... it's just that she surprised me a little." Meng Chu was still calm. He knew Shen Qing's purpose, but he was not interested, and told him lightly what Shen Qing wanted to know.

It was two months since the girl had not given up on Meng Chu. This was the most durable girl he had ever seen. He was a little surprised, and he set up a game. The other party did not give in.

Meng Chu deliberately reduced the aura he exuded to the outside world, attracting several people who could be said to be great beauty or rich ladies approached him, but the country girl did not give up.

"Courtesy."

Shen Qing clapped his hands. He was surprised by the girl: "You didn't ask her, there is such a beautiful woman by your side, why is she still staying with you like a toad?"

“Ask.”

"What's the result?"

"So…" Meng Chu curled his lips gently: "She said that if she was more beautiful than her, she could catch up with me. I would have belonged to someone else. How could she wait until today and still be single."

Shen Qing was stunned, then laughed: "This girl is a little interesting, much more interesting than my wife."

"I've seen your wife." Meng Chu said.

Shen Qing's smile stopped and his voice became solemn: "What do you mean? The problems between us are not their business. Ancient warriors are guilty of attacking ordinary people."

"I know." Meng Chu had no idea of ​​provoking. He had already provoked him: "I just took a look quietly. She was just pregnant, right? It seems that she should be a girl."

"She is pregnant!" Shen Qing looked happy. He hadn't gone down the mountain for a long time to see, and he didn't know that his daughter-in-law was pregnant. However, they would definitely report this to him. It should be that he was pregnant for a while, and they didn't know it themselves.

"It's a girl." However, Meng Chu saw that there was only one reason why he cared about this: "If you didn't pass on your skills to your son, will you hand them over to your granddaughter?"

"No..." Shen Qing shook her head: "I won't let her enter our world, but the girl is relatively weak in this society. I may give her some self-defense things so that no one can bully her in this world."

Meng Chu said, "Then you can only leave your things to me."

Shen Qing looked at him: "I won't leave it to you, I am the last person in the door. This is the decline of an era. People who walk on this road are very unfortunate, and I will not pass it on."

However, Meng Chu still did not give up. His obsession surprised Shen Qing. After a few months, Meng Chu had been here for half a year, and Shen Qing was shaken by his obsession.

"How many years will the spiritual energy disappear completely?" Shen Qing asked.

"About forty years." Meng Chu replied: "I will finish these forty years until the last moment... If I still can't revive the spiritual energy in the end, I will give up."

"Forty years... I know it is impossible, why do you have to be so obsessed with it?"

"Actually, after the master left, I was still shaken and never completely sure." Meng Chu replied: "But my marriage line object changed my mind."

At first, when she first met that girl, Meng Chu felt that she was the reason for fate to take it out and the reason for him to return to the ordinary world.

But the girl who knew it was impossible, but still pursued him with all her strength. She had never given up for more than half a year and made him change his mind.

"She is an ordinary person and can't let go, can I let it go?"

Meng Chu replied.

Shen Qing was silent for a long time, and he was convinced, perhaps because of Meng Chu's calmness. This young man did not use any small tricks in front of him, and kept facing himself with a calm attitude, and his sincerity convinced him.

That night, Meng Chu returned to the hotel where he stayed.

He saw the girl waiting for him at the door. He clearly knew nothing about his affairs, but she was still with him for half a year. Her obsession affected him and allowed him to get what he wanted.

"You have cooked me for half a year's meal, and I will leave here, money, status, what do you want, I'll give you, this is the reward for you."

Meng Chu said to the girl, but she had only one answer: "I want you to like me."

This is her purpose, and she doesn't want anything other than that.

“…I’m leaving.”

"But I still want you." The girl looked at him stubbornly: "I think you like me. As long as you say this to me, I am willing to do anything."

"...Is it useful for me to like you? I can't be with you... If I leave, you will never find me in your life."

"You can leave me a child and let him replace you, and I will wait for you."

Meng Chu has seen countless girls, but never had the girl as strange as the person in front of her. She seemed to be his natural partner. When she said she wanted to leave, she did not show any abnormal expression or give up.

Maybe she knew she would leave since the first meeting, but even so, she still flew into the flames. A smart woman he had seen, but there was only one such a silly woman.

"good."

So he nodded and agreed.

He stayed in Qingcheng again, learning his martial arts from Shen Qing while staying with the girl. He did not give her anything or promise, and could only stay in the hotel, but she had never complained.

She is pregnant.

"Huo... the child's name is Huo..."

Meng Chu stayed, and he named the child "Get" as "Get" as "Get". He thought that even if he could not fulfill his mission, he had gained other things.

"I can't let him come to my world."

Meng Chu suddenly understood Shen Qing's feelings. He hoped that his children could grow up freely without having to enter a world with only 40 years of life and depression, and without having to experience the despair of the world he was familiar with like him.

In this era, ancient warriors are about to usher in the dusk of their world and there is no need to add new victims.

One day after the child was born, Meng Chun got up in the middle of the night, and he put on his clothes and prepared to leave.

Li Qin was lying in the quilt, holding the child, breathing smoothly, and looking unresponsive, but Meng Chu knew she was still awake.

"I can't take you away, I can't take you to my house... because if that child goes to my house, he will definitely be controlled by someone in the future... I don't want him to lose what I have lost."

He whispered: "When he decides his own path, I will let him go back, and before that... I believe you can raise him well."

Meng Chu opened the door and walked out. The girl was awake, but she did not open her eyes, did not cry, and did not stop her.

What a smart and strong woman.

He thought so, maybe at this moment, he really fell in love with her. (To be continued.)
