Chapter 521: Humans Don’t Learn From Gods
The man named Shen Li in front of him was tall and straight, but his appearance was not outstanding. With his messy hair, he looked a bit sloppy and unkempt.
Only his piercing eyes were quite eye-catching. Coupled with that cynical smile and the blood marks on his clasped hands, his whole body exuded the aura of a rough man who had wandered into the streets.
"How did you keep up with me?" Li Jun asked with a chuckle.
"If you are not a family member, you will not enter the same family. If you are one of our Wu Xu family members, you will know at a glance."
Shen Li turned around and thanked the shopkeeper who served him the wine. He filled up a glass for Li Jun in a polite manner, then picked up another bottle and swallowed half of it in one breath.
"Actually, we have reached this stage."
Shen Li exhaled the breath of alcohol with a comfortable face, pointed to the hat shaped like a hat that Li Jun put at hand, and said with a smile: "This kind of low-grade Mo Xu creation is no longer very effective. Each family has its own way to see through it. Just like me, As soon as I saw this tall and heroic figure and the unrestrained flag, I knew you were my brother Jun, so I followed you immediately. "
The bamboo hat Li Jun has on hand is an instrument made by craftsman Mo Xu. Its function is similar to the Yin Yang Nuo noodles that Li Jun used before.
Although it is only fifth grade, it is already the best that Liang Huo can provide.
Li Jun didn't expect it to be of much use, but it was just used to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"From what you said, you are familiar with me?"
Li Jun looked at the man opposite him with interest, who kept calling him "brother" and called him "brother" in a particularly affectionate manner.
"Of course I'm familiar with it. He started out as a gangster named Hun Shui Pao in Chengdu County. He single-handedly fought his way through the territory of Qingcheng Mountain, turned the entire Chongqing government upside down, stabbed to death an imperial vassal, and even single-handedly attacked the Japanese area. You killed Batu, one of the proprietors of the Six Tao Group. With this kind of achievement, who can compare with you among the current sect’s martial arts?”
Shen Li was very familiar with Li Jun's past experiences and said with admiration: "As far as I know, Brother Jun, you are now the only Preface Four in the Solitary Martial Arts Order, a genuine Solitary Miao. If things continue like this, as long as Brother Jun you don't get caught halfway. If you kill him and get promoted to Preface 2, or even just Preface 3, you will really become the leader of our Wu Xu, and those old guys are nothing compared to you."
Shen Li's quackish words made Li Jun feel like he was back in Jiulong Street, Chengdu County for no reason.
Li Jun smiled and asked, "Have you ever been around before?"
"When I was young, I overestimated my ability and lived in Tianjin Wei with a group of brothers who also didn't want to be slaves."
"Then why did you join the Wu Xu sect?"
"When it comes to this, it's a blessing and a curse."
Shen Li took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Once I led someone to rob the youngest son of a third-class family. I originally only planned to rob other people's wealth to support my own poverty, and by the way, I taught this bastard who did all evil things a lesson. My original intention was not to Killing people. But that kid was ignorant, and he was always yelling at me. I was young and energetic at that time, so I couldn't hold back and I hit him. But after I hit him, he still didn't shut up. The only way I could do it was to keep chopping, but as I kept chopping, the person would be dead.”
"Then you ran away?" Li Jun drank a full drink.
As soon as the empty glass was placed on the table, Shen Li filled it with the wine bottle, and Li Jun tapped the table with two fingers to express his gratitude.
"If you don't run, you will die."
Shen Li said 'hey' and cursed: "Originally, it stands to reason that giving birth to a son is as simple as eating and drinking water for the Confucian clan clan, so there is no need to be so angry. In the end, the clan leader was just fucking taken away. Like a dry road, he led people to attack me everywhere, forcing me to almost jump into the sea to feed the fish. Then, Brother Jun, guess what? "
Li Jun was very cooperative and asked: "How do you say it?"
"After many inquiries, I found out that the boy was not his son, but the son of a second-class old man and his wife!"
Shen Li was beaming with joy and laughed: "I asked why that old bastard wanted to kill me as if he was crazy. It turns out that he has lost the capital to be brothers with others and can no longer have relatives. After so many years, Bearing the humiliation and bearing the burden is all in vain!”
"You are ruining people's wealth"
Li Jun smiled and picked up the wine glass.
"That's murderous parents."
Shen Li nodded and picked up the wine bottle.
"You were forced to flee, and you don't regret it?"
"I don't regret it. If I put it on you, brother, would you regret it?"
"I will regret not killing his father."
"So I went back to Tianjin Wei later."
"Family reunion?"
"Father and son reunited!"
"readily!"
The two spoke in unison, looked at each other, laughed, and at the same time swallowed a large mouthful of hot sake.
Li Jun suddenly said: "Actually, just now, I was thinking about whether I should go to you to inquire about something, but then I turned around and you came to the door."
Shen Li blinked: "Is it about the sequence? Brother, just ask, little brother, I will tell you everything."
"no the same."
Li Jun leaned back in his chair, shook his head and said, "I'm looking for you because I want you to squat and talk, so that you don't have to owe favors or pay."
When Shen Li heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and he forced a smile and said: "Actually, I can sit down and talk without taking any benefits. We are all a family, there is no need to fight with fists and kicks at every turn, right? And you have seen it, Brother Jun, my His attitude is much better than that brat Jiang Wei.”
"So instead of squatting, you're sitting."
Li Jun smiled, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I want to say that today is just a simple encounter, do you believe it, brother?" Shen Li's face was full of flattering smiles.
"What do you think? Jinling City is not small."
"Actually, I also think it's nonsense."
Shen Li cleared his throat, and then said seriously: "Actually, I just had a fight with someone on Lion Mountain and snatched a person from Guanyun Temple under Maoshan."
"Wu Xu?"
"Traitor."
Shen Li's expression turned cold, and he said lightly: "A sect Wu Xu Si, intends to offer his body to Maoshan to refine the Yellow Turban Warriors in exchange for a chance to jump to the sequence."
In the Dao Xu, the most outstanding force is the 'Four Mountains and One Palace'.
Li Jun has dealt with most of them, but he has no dealings with Maoshan.
Li Jun asked in confusion: "Why not kill, but rob?"
"Take it back and extract it into an injector, which can be regarded as waste utilization."
Shen Li looked calm and calm, and it can be seen that this should not be the first time he has done such a thing.
"You broke into the mountain gate and arrested people, so why don't you hurry up and run away, and you still have time to sit here and drink with me?"
"I want to run too, but it's a pity that the matter is not yet completed."
Shen Li sighed: "We still have one person in the hands of the Liu family."
"Is he also a traitor?"
"I am a brother."
At this point, Shen Li's purpose has become clear.
Shen Li said in a deep voice: "If you are caught by a powerful family, the result is nothing more than brainwashing, and then being stamped with the seal of Confucianism, and finally becoming a loyal dog and a dead soldier, being driven by others, and ending up with a fate worse than death. So we, Tianque, will never give up on him, so even if we can't save him in the end, we have to let him go easily."
"Tianque? Are you from the same sect as him?"
"That's not the case. The times are different now. If the martial order of the sects doesn't make some changes and continues to sweep the snow in front of their own doors, let alone regain the place of the past, it's only a matter of time before they are killed. So the various sects and factions stick together to keep warm and put their own three melons. The two of them got together and became an organization by following the ways of the three religions. "
Shen Li scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I also think that this name doesn't seem to be very good, but the name is just a code name, and it doesn't matter."
Li Jun said slowly: "So you came to me to ask me to help you save people?"
"That's right, but I, Shen Li, am not that kind of shameless villain. I won't use any bullshit to embarrass you, brother Jun."
Shen Li patted his chest: "Let's be frank, brothers, if you can help us, we will help you, if it works, we will do it, if it doesn't, forget it."
"What are you doing to help me?" Li Jun asked with a smile.
"Two things, choose one."
Shen Li's eyes lit up, and he held up two fingers: "Either we help you fight those blacksmiths and overturn their central branch. Or I tell you the content of the ritual for promotion to the third rank, but it's only for the martial arts rank of the sect. I don't know if it has any reference value to you, brother Jun."
Shen Li paused and smiled: "As for the information about the fourth rank that you want to ask, brother Jun, it's not worth much, just treat it as a free bonus."
"Then tell me the free one first."
Li Jun sat up straight and pretended to listen carefully.
Shen Li was stunned when he saw this. He obviously didn't expect Li Jun to be so impolite. He smacked his lips repeatedly and said, "Brother Jun, the road you are walking now has always been one of crossing the river by feeling the stones alone. So after becoming the fourth in sequence, you must be a little confused and feel that nothing has changed, right?"
"Yes."
"This is normal. I felt the same way at the beginning. It was like he was cheated."
Shen Li dipped his hand in his wine glass and wrote the two words "four" and "five" vertically on the table, and drew a horizontal line in the middle.
"From five to four, it is actually a big threshold for any family. Some shameless and boastful sequences say that this is a natural chasm between humans and gods, and it is the Dragon Gate given by heaven. Once you cross it, you will be separated from gods. In fact, to put it bluntly, after reaching this step, the genes have changed."
Changed?
Li Jun frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "How did it change?"
"From giving and taking to giving and asking."
Shen Li knew that Li Jun was a wild man who had made his own way, so he broke down everything he knew and explained it in great detail.
"After our Wuxu was broken into Jinxu, the awakened genes seemed to only allow us to learn higher-grade martial arts. Other than that, people are still people, and fists are still fists. Except that hitting people hurts a little more than before, there seems to be no other changes. Unlike other sequences, one plays with a sword, one enters a dream, one takes out a seal, and one asks the ancestors to fart."
Perhaps because he just fought with the people from Maoshan, Shen Li's words were full of resentment towards Daoxu.
"In fact, it's not because our martial arts are worse than others, but because our awakened genes are so hungry that they are weak and have no energy to play any tricks. When you are hungry, you have to eat. This is a big deal. No one can change it. Now it's our turn to feed. This is the change from being given everything to being given everything."
"But what to eat and how to eat are very particular."
Shen Li paused deliberately and looked at Li Jun with an expectant look, as if waiting for him to speak.
"What's the particular? Tell me." Li Jun held the words without dropping them.
Shen Li smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Martial Arts, this thing should be familiar to you, Brother Jun, right?"
Li Jun is certainly no stranger to martial arts skills.
After Wu Xu cultivates a martial arts to the limit, and after entering the Great Perfection, skills will be transformed into instincts, no longer needing to be used deliberately, and the movements can be trusted at his fingertips.
In addition, the martial arts of Chengshu will also produce some special changes.
What Li Jun felt most clearly was the evil aura of battle that could corrode machinery in the former Polu Sword.
But in the process of improving the sequence, Li Jun never seemed to feel the specialness of this martial arts skill again. It seemed that the martial arts he injected had lost this ability.
Even now that he has attained the fourth level of Dzogchen, there is no sign of success.
Li Jun once thought that this was also the difference between sects and solos, but now it seems that there may be reasons that he doesn't know.
"The skills formed by Dzogchen Martial Arts are the food of Wu Xu Gene. However, Gene's grandson is somewhat conscientious. He knows that we were still weak before Xu Si, so he has been holding back and not daring to speak."
Shen Li said: "But when you cross this threshold, it will start to bite, so you have just entered the fourth martial arts sequence, and you can't feel any changes."
"You mean, after becoming the fourth order, genes will start to eat up the ability to learn martial arts?" Li Jun pondered the meaning of the other party's words.
"yes."
"What about before the fourth chapter?"
"This grandson has a conscience and won't eat it."
Shen Li was a little confused. He felt that he could explain it in a simple way. Even if he was unhappy, he was at least very clear about it. He didn't know why Li Jun would ask this.
"is it possible"
Li Jun frowned and asked: "Before the fourth chapter, or even starting from the eighth chapter, were you eaten?"
"Whose genes are so ignorant of rules? Are you going to eat them alive?"
Shen Li blurted out subconsciously. After speaking, he suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "Brother Jun, you may be different from us. You are a loner, and we are a sect."
You were eaten in the eighth chapter. Did you use fists and kicks to fight with others?
What a fucking monster? !
"Go on."
Shen Li licked himself a little dry, and the expression on his face became respectful unconsciously, and continued: "Of course, Gene's grandson is not a master who just eats and does nothing. He knows what courtesy means, if you can When you feed it, it will feed you some good things, so it’s very important to feed it.”
"For example, if you want to run faster in the future, then add more skills such as movement skills. If you feel that you feel safe and rough-skinned, then use physical training. If you want to defeat all magic with one force, , there’s no need to say that it’s just a direct attack. In addition to being easy to die, it’s basically a matter of catching whoever you want.”
Shen Li smiled and said: "Brother Jun, if you are like me and like to target insidious guys like Fo Xu and Yin Yang, then risk your life to feed your inner strength. Anyway, until now, I have never met Fo Xu who can pull me into Buddha. Country. Even if you go in, whoever sits on the high platform with his legs crossed and performs mudra, or who kneels under the platform and calls for the Buddha to appear, it’s still a matter of course.”
"The feeding methods are different, and the results are of course different. That's why there are sects in the martial arts order. And if you focus on practicing a certain type of Kung Fu at the beginning, you will be able to feed it more easily in the future. After all, you are practicing a great martial art. Learning is not easy.”
"But after all, it boils down to one sentence. Today's martial arts are just skills left by the predecessors to drive and use genes. In the end, they have to come from genes and go to genes. You feed your own genes and choose them by yourself. You have to choose your own path. So in the past, Wu Si could establish a sect and recruit his own disciples."
Li Jun looked thoughtful and said nothing.
Shen Li was not in a hurry and just drank by himself.
"Shen Li, why do I feel that the process of feeding genes is like purifying, or creating martial arts? In the end, people are still people, and fists are still fists?"
It wasn't until Shen Li drank all his bottle of wine that Li Jun finally came to his senses and spoke.
"Purity means fucking fierceness, and fierceness is their purity. We Wu Xu are humans, why should we learn to be gods?"
Shen Li said matter-of-factly: "Those three-headed, six-armed flying swords and magical weapons are used by other sequences to scare people. Those rubbish like the Order of Soldiers have an iron knot in their stomachs, and they just want to blow up their thorns with us. It's just a fucking courting death. As long as the fist is big enough, no matter whether it's flying in the sky or running on the ground, whether it's in a dream or in this world, you have to kneel down for us. If you move a little slower, you have to take a look at your head. Kick!"
"But, human energy is limited, and so is the appetite of genes. Generally, if you feed a person with seven or eight martial arts masters, if the genes are half-full, you can be considered the fourth level of martial arts. You have to start preparing to break the lock. Preface to the Jin Dynasty."
Shen Li suddenly gritted his teeth when he said this, because the rest of the content was not free.
"What if we feed them all?"
Li Jun did not follow the trend to ask about his Jin Xu as Shen Li worried, but asked a question that Shen Li had never considered.
"this."
Shen Li rubbed his chin and said in confusion: "No one would do this. Although it is indeed true to say that tall buildings are built on the ground, what's the point of laying a fucking foundation after working hard all your life?"
"I"
Before Li Jun finished speaking, he was interrupted by a greeting.
"boss."
The door of the store was pushed open, and the person who walked in was actually someone Li Jun knew.
"It's you?!"
Wang Qi also saw Li Jun sitting by the window. There was no longer the fear on his face when he first met him, and there was even a hint of excitement that Li Jun couldn't understand.
