The bell behind the mountain was sounded crisply, which was a reminder that Ligong Jianyuan had to rest at night. Although the teacher would not run to the residence to check the bedroom in the middle of the night, this rule was still necessary. As for whether the disciples followed it or not, it would be irrelevant.

After Ning Haoran arranged the twenty people including Li Mengzhou, he left directly. The place where they lived was specially vacant and was not in the same place as the residences of senior brothers and sisters in the outer courtyard of the palace, so it seemed a little deserted.

Because there are not many female disciples in the Palace Sword Courtyard, the residences are not particularly separated. Each residence can be accommodated at about five or six people, and there is a distance between them and the area covers a large area. Therefore, although the residences are all together, there will be no problems.

If you want to own a separate courtyard, you can only enter the inner courtyard. Almost every disciple of the inner courtyard has a separate residence. Although the space of the residence in the outer courtyard is smaller, it is more pure and more convenient.

This may be one of the reasons why some disciples from the outer courtyard want to rack their brains to enter the inner courtyard.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

The wind in the mountains is very cool, especially at night. Although there are a lot of insects in winter, this place is Ligong Mountain Gate, and there are still many insects with strong vitality that are trying their best to disturb people's dreams.

There are cicadas in the world that only survive in the cold winter, especially in places where the world is rich in spiritual energy, and the chilling cicadas are the most excited.

Li Mengzhou sat on a rock, listening to the chirping of cicadas in his ears, listening to the gurgling streams, and looking at the magnificent mountain scenery, his mood was hard to calm down.

He rarely thinks about his past seriously, and perhaps because of many things he has forgotten. The person who was vague in his memory could have remembered the general appearance and name, but now he only remembers the blurry appearance, but cannot call their names. I believe that time continues to pass, and even their appearance will not be remembered.

But in the past years, there will be some people who will never be forgotten, and they are figures engraved deep in their hearts, and among this group of people, especially their families, are the most unlikely to be forgotten.

Now he finally came to the capital and visualized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Because what he wanted to do made his memory of certain people and certain things clearer.

Revenge must be a bloody thing, and he will never forget the day when the fire filled the sky. Many lives died on that day. He survived only because of his good luck or being deliberately arranged. In his cognition, he was the only person who was qualified and capable of avenging those who died.

This incident was hidden in his heart for too long. When he was a child, he was very afraid to recall that day, and he never even thought about taking revenge because he was unable and afraid that he would die.

But in this world, many things are not something that you can do without thinking. With the rotation of the gear of fate, every step is forcing him to face that thing really, so that he can understand that although death is terrible, it is also a very difficult thing to live well.

Everyone will grow up. When you are finally no longer cowardly, you will learn to face any danger bravely and must pay any price to break the adversity, because only in this way can you live better.

He has experienced too much life and death and seen too much death. Even if he is still afraid of death, it is difficult for anything to shake his heart.

Because apart from becoming a practitioner and completing revenge, the meaning of his survival in this world is meaningless.

Although he is passive in many things, this does not mean that he does not want to take revenge. He is just stuck in some kind of quagmire and cannot extricate himself. When he climbs out of the quagmire, the problems that were very distressing at the beginning in front of him will no longer be a problem.

He used to feel that he was too lonely to do something alone in this world, but since he walked out of Shuning Town, he heard the once familiar name more than once. At that moment, he suddenly felt that he had never been alone.

Everyone should have something to protect in this world, and everyone should be punished for doing wrong things. He just goes to judge those who do wrong things. No matter how powerful those people are, he will never hesitate because of his protection and the faith in his heart.

In this quiet forest where cicadas can only be heard, Li Mengzhou felt a little unnatural. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the boy hiding in the shadows against the wall of the residence not far away. His lips moved slightly, and a faint voice came out: "Do you like to hide in the dark and observe others?"

A faint sneer sounded, and the boy next to the residence walked into the moonlight.

The silver light shone on him, as if it made him shine some light.

Li Mengzhou recognized this young man. Although the boy did not have a high presence during the mountaineering and introductory tests, he was a very noteworthy person.

He Zhengrong from a prominent family in the capital.

A teenager who is only fourteen years old.

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly. He Zhengrong was just a child in his eyes, but this child seemed to have something very attractive.

He Zhengrong walked towards Li Mengzhou very lazy, like a rebellious boy who was disobedient to discipline, and no one had ever been in his eyes.

Standing in front of Li Mengzhou, He Zhengrong looked down at Li Mengzhou sitting on the stone and said, "I entered visualization at the age of ten, and entered Amaterasu at the age of fourteen. I believe nothing unexpected happens. In this same year, I will travel again and become a real monk."

Li Mengzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "So what?"

He Zhengrong sneered, and casually pulled off a thin branch from a tree next to him, playing with it in his hand, and said, "I don't look down on anyone among the people who worship the mountain today, but it's just that there is some trouble except for the woman Shen Jiyue, because she is the person with the highest qualifications for cultivation.

Although I knew I could definitely be admitted to the palace, I was very angry when I thought about not being able to enter with the best grades. But if I think about it in a different way, there is nothing worth worrying about being surpassed by a woman, after all, we are not a man.

But what I'm even more curious is that you are already seventeen years old this year and have only been visualizing for the first time. I don't know if you should say you are too useless or accumulate strength. I just want to figure out what kind of person you are. Of course, this may seem boring, so I have changed my mind now. Anyway, no one is disturbing here, so why not see the truth under my hands and discuss it?”

Li Mengzhou looked at He Zhengrong unexpectedly and said in surprise: "You want to fight with me?"

He Zhengrong said impatiently: "This is an obvious thing. Why, why don't you dare not?"

Li Mengzhou didn't care about He Zhengrong's rudeness. After all, He Zhengrong was just a naughty child in his eyes. He just hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll give you advice."

He Zhengrong's expression quickly became serious. He looked around, turned his head slightly, and said, "Transfer to the forest. It's not good to get too close to the residence."

Li Mengzhou didn't say anything, but stood up and walked towards the depths of the forest first.

The empty forest was covered with snow, and the soles of the boots were squeaking on the ground. When a breeze blew, snowflakes would slap on the face, and a hint of coldness would ooze.

Ten steps to stand long distance.

Li Mengzhou carried his hands on his back, his eyes full of indifference.

He Zhengrong looked eager to try, his feet bounced lightly on the ground, as if he was doing a warm-up activity.

He crossed his fingers together, and he broke out with force, exhaled gently, looked up at Li Mengzhou, and said coldly: "I see you don't have weapons, so I don't use swords. I can let you take action first."

Li Mengzhou smiled, but did not refuse. He put his hands in front of him, his right palm slowly opened, and a qi formed from the palm, crackling like thunder and lightning.

He Zhengrong opened his eyes wide in fear, as if it was incredible. Of course, he knew that this was not a means of a practitioner, but he had never contacted martial arts masters in the world, so he was very surprised at how Li Mengzhou looked at this moment.

"What are you? It seems that it is not the transformation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and you have just entered the visualization and it is impossible to achieve this level."

Li Mengzhou didn't mean to answer He Zhengrong, so he pushed it out with a light palm and said with a smile: "You will know soon."

He Zhengrong could clearly perceive the changes in the surrounding space. The qi cultivated by martial arts is different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth fills the entire world, all cultivation schools need to rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but because only practitioners can visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, martial artists in the martial arts world cannot accurately know it.

Gangqi is naturally also a kind of spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Or to put it another way, Gangqi is just the derivative of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth separated by martial arts and is presented in another way.

This is also why the strong martial arts masters can be compared with monks in the Astrology visualization stage, and even kill monks in the first level, because in essence they practice something.

And because only martial arts masters can cultivate the qi, this means that the martial arts have reached its end. They do not have the qualifications to practice and cannot practice magical powers to better use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so naturally they cannot become stronger.

On the contrary, the practitioner's exposure to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is only the beginning of his practice.

If you cannot visualize and recognize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the martial arts master will not be able to break through the boundaries of ordinary people. This is equivalent to a person burying a treasure in his home, but he himself does not know it. In the end, the treasure can only be buried underground forever.

Moreover, even if you dig out a treasure, you will not be able to become rich, because you cannot keep the treasure without the qualification to become a practitioner. The ultimate question is whether you can enter visualization and whether you have the qualifications to practice.

In the eyes of He Zhengrong, who had never been exposed to martial arts, Li Mengzhou's methods were a bit strange, but he was just a little surprised. He was a monk who had entered the Amaterasu stage and could travel far and become a real monk at any time. His use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was naturally far beyond that of ordinary martial arts masters.

The fierce wind that came to his face blew his hair. The qi containing extremely strong power would eventually collapse at the moment when it came into contact with the real spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

But He Zhengrong was not easy.

Even a little uncomfortable.

After all, he did not enter the realm of far-distance travel, so he did not have the power to crush the master of martial arts. Although he dismantled Li Mengzhou's offensive, he also suffered unimaginable severe damage.

It seemed as if an arc of electric energy was passing by him. The numb feeling made his legs weak and his face turned pale. He looked at Li Mengzhou in horror. He said in disbelief: "You have just entered the visualization, how could you beat me?!"

Li Mengzhou smiled without saying a word, took a step forward, and the wind rose from his feet, blowing away the snow and fallen leaves. He looked at He Zhengrong who was extremely dissatisfied and said softly: "You are still young and you have never seen many things. A cultivator is not the most powerful existence in the world. At least it was like this before entering the artistic conception. The martial arts masters in the martial arts world can kill the monks who are visualized by Tianzhao at will, and some people can even kill the monks in the far-reaching realm."

As the saying goes, if you have never eaten pork but have seen pigs run, He Zhengrong quickly woke up and said angrily: "So you are a martial artist in the martial arts world, and you are the same person as that guy Zheng Qian."

Li Mengzhou shook his head gently and said, "Don't compare that person to me. Although saying that is suspected of pretending, I still want to say that in front of me, he is really just a scumbag."

He Zhengrong was shocked and suspicious.

He could not judge the authenticity of Li Mengzhou's words, but looking at Li Mengzhou who was very calm and calm, he felt that this seemed to be true.

His eyes kept rolling, not knowing what he was thinking, but suddenly rushed to Li Mengzhou quickly and said hopefully: "Why don't you teach me martial arts?"

Li Mengzhou looked at him in surprise, couldn't help but pat his forehead, and said, "Although the peak martial arts powerhouse can indeed compete with the monks, that's already the limit. There is no reason for you to give up practicing and learn martial arts, but it's not bad to learn a little to strengthen your body."

Most practitioners look down on martial arts men in the world, and naturally disdain to learn martial arts. However, in fact, there is not much difference between martial arts itself and practice. The academic world belongs to the same lineage, and there is no better or worse. It is just that there is a difference between strength and weakness at a certain stage.

Martial arts also have advantages. If it can be integrated with practice, it will naturally be the best. This is what it means to learn from strengths and weaknesses.

Except for a few special people, the physique of those who practice cultivation is indeed a bit inappropriate, but it is not as fragile as it is. It is just that when compared with the peak martial arts powerhouse, the cultivator's physique seems to be a little weak.

Besides, the sword cultivator himself also pays more attention to physical cultivation, so there is no need for He Zhengrong to learn any martial arts.

Although he did not get Li Mengzhou's accurate reply, He Zhengrong did not care too much. Compared with martial arts, he certainly prefers practice.

It was just that he was defeated so easily by Li Mengzhou, which made He Zhengrong a little unhappy.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I will find another opportunity to fight you. I will remind you first, I will soon enter the realm of travel, so you'd better become stronger as soon as possible, otherwise you will be no match for me by then."

Li Mengzhou nodded with a smile. Although he did not think He Zhengrong could defeat him, this seemed to be a very interesting thing.

Moreover, if He Zhengrong really entered the realm of travel, Li Mengzhou had just visualized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and was not familiar with it, the result might be really bad.

He Zhengrong turned around and was slightly stunned. He glanced at the person standing in front of him, walked towards the residence with a cold face.

Chen Jiyue looked at He Zhengrong's back for no reason and said to Li Mengzhou: "What's wrong with him?"

Li Mengzhou spread his hands and said, "It's just a child, he has never had a bad temper and there is no reason at all."

Chen Jiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "You look old-fashioned, you are only three years older than him."

Li Mengzhou said: "A lot of things can happen in three years and you can learn a lot of things. There is also a generation gap in between."

Chen Jiyue shook her head and said, "You guys had a fight just now, it seems that you won?"

Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "It's just a lucky person."

Chen Jiyue said disbelief: "How can there be so many luck? It is a lucky thing to enter the visualization, and it is a lucky thing to defeat He Zhengrong. So what is wrong? "

Li Mengzhou didn't say anything.

Chen Jiyue was silent for a moment and said, "The boy from the He family has a very strange temper. It is not easy to make him admit that his skills are not as good as others. It seems that many people have indeed underestimated you."

Li Mengzhou said lightly: "I'm just lucky. In fact, I can't compare to any of you. You all entered the visualization at the age of ten or even twelve or twelve, so it's normal for me to be looked down upon by some people, but many things in this world are unfair. Maybe I, a genius, will just be lazy when I steal it at the beginning. Once I want to spread my wings and fly high, it will soar into the sky and cannot even hold it."

Chen Jiyue seemed to be amused by Li Mengzhou's serious look, and waved her hand and said, "It's getting late, and there is a last assessment tomorrow. Let's take a break early."

Li Mengzhou and Shen Jiyue walked towards the residence together, and then separated under the corridor and walked towards their respective residences.

The residence where the two lived was a distance. When Li Mengzhou was passing a bluestone road, he found a figure sneaky and didn't know what he was doing.

The man was wearing a white robe, which belonged to the disciples of Ligong Sword Court. The disciples of Ligong Outer Court were all white robes. Only after entering the inner courtyard could they choose the clothes of their favorite colors.

Out of curiosity, Li Mengzhou slowed down and walked over quietly.

It was a young man, as if he was afraid of being discovered, and he was all careful and silently observing something.

Li Mengzhou stood behind this man, looked over in confusion, and found that there were two girls walking side by side not far away, talking and laughing.

Although they were also wearing long white dresses, they were obviously not Li Gong's clothes, and Li Mengzhou vaguely felt that he had seen this outfit somewhere.

From the two girls, he faintly heard the names and words such as "Senior Sister Lu" and "Senior Sister Nan Sheng", "Take a Bath", and then the sneaky disciple of the Sword Academy seemed very excited and was about to follow the two girls quietly.
