Chapter 29: Fantasy before death?

"Zhao Ge's spirit tablet."

"Zhao Qian's spirit tablet."

Li Yi followed Zhao Ge and his daughter to the lobby of the courtyard, but saw that the lobby was decorated like a mourning hall. The ground was covered with white round paper money, and there were two coffins in the middle. Two spirit tablets were set up in front of the coffins, and there was an incense burner next to each spirit tablet, with a stick of incense inserted in front of the incense burner.

The incense stick was very long and burned slowly, emitting a strange fragrance.

"We entered the Ghost Street by pretending to be dead. We made this arrangement to deceive the ghost soldiers. Do you see the two incense sticks in the middle? They are soul-separation incense. Before those incense sticks are burned out, we must return to this yard and lie in the coffin to return to the world of the living safely. If something unexpected happens, we can only become lonely ghosts and wander in the Ghost Street." Zhao Ge said.

Although Li Yi didn't understand, he roughly understood it. He asked curiously, "Why did you enter the Ghost Street when it's so dangerous?"

"It's to buy medicine." Zhao Qian's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Li Yi.

Zhao Ge continued, "I was injured by the Yin spirit, and my soul was damaged. I need the coffin herb as medicine to heal, otherwise I won't survive for more than a season. This kind of medicine is only sold on the ghost street, so my daughter and I took the risk to enter this place."

"So that's it." Li Yi understood immediately.

Zhao Ge then spoke up again: "I see that your steps are chaotic and your breathing is disorderly. You probably haven't practiced martial arts, right?"

"Practicing martial arts?" Li Yi immediately shook his head and said, "No, I have never practiced martial arts."

He is quick-witted and has adapted to the local customs and started to learn their style of speaking.

"This is strange. How can you have such a physique without learning martial arts? When I pulled you just now, your skin and flesh were tense and you subconsciously used strength. Your strength was incredible." Zhao Ge looked at Li Yi again, feeling a little surprised.

"Maybe I was born with supernatural powers." Li Yi said, "My friends around me always praise me, saying that Yi's supernatural bravery is unparalleled in the history."

“Puff~!”

Zhao Qian on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed: "If you are like this, I can knock you down with one hand. You said you have supernatural power? You are just bragging."

Li Yi also laughed.

"Is Yi's bravery unparalleled throughout the ages? Good writing skills, good evaluation. The companions around you must be extraordinary people. However, I am happy to see a prey, and I want to test whether you, a young man, really deserve such an evaluation." Zhao Ge realized Li Yi's extraordinaryness at this moment. He rolled up his sleeves and strode over.

"Old man, what do you want to do?" Li Yi felt inexplicably nervous when being stared at by that 'loving' gaze.

"Li Mengde, try to fight back as much as you can. I want to see your strength." Zhao Ge suddenly stretched out a hand and pinched Li Yi's arm directly. His five fingers were as strong as steel.

The fingers sank deeply into his skin, flesh and bones, gripping his acupoints and tendons.

With this grab, even the strongest young man would feel half of his body numb, and then fall to his knees screaming in pain.

"Then I'm sorry." Li Yi understood that this person wanted to test his skills.

Although he didn't know the reason, he didn't want to be looked down upon. Although he felt his arms were numb and weak, it was not enough to make him unable to resist.

With a sudden effort, he raised his arms high, lifting up Zhao Ge's thin body together.

"The force permeates the whole body? You must be kidding." Zhao Ge exclaimed.

"Be careful." After lifting Zhao Ge, Li Yi slammed him to the ground.

The cultivator's body after evolution and transformation is incredibly strong and cannot be tied up easily.

But Zhao Ge turned nimbly and avoided Li Yi's heavy blow, then his rough palm grabbed along his arm, each time hitting his major acupoints, bone joints, tendons, and membranes accurately.

"Why don't you fall down?" He shouted in a low voice, which sounded like thunder.

"I can still withstand this little bit of strength." Li Yi punched Zhao Ge with his other hand.

No tricks, just pure speed and power.

Zhao Ge did not dodge, but took the fist with one hand, and then slapped Li Yi on the chest.

Li Yi only took a half step back, but soon kicked out again.

"Huh?" Zhao Ge was even more surprised. His palm was enough to crack Li Yi's ribs, but in the end he just staggered?
Is this body a monster?
Even better, he could actually fight back.

Although the kick came out like a fight between two naughty kids with no rules, Zhao Ge still took it with his leg.

"boom!"

Zhao Ge felt his right leg go numb. Now he began to believe what Li Yi said. He really was born with supernatural powers.

But he became more and more delighted, and then he stretched out his hand again, this time with greater force.

Li Yi was still fighting back. He felt that every time Zhao Ge attacked, his body became numb and he lost his strength for a short time, which made him very uncomfortable. However, after the evolution, the cultivator's body adapted and recovered quickly. After a few seconds, he attacked again with his fists and feet. One of them was holding back to test, while the other was fighting back crazily.

As time passed, Zhao Qian, who was watching the fun on the side, also became surprised. She thought at first that Li Yi was a useless person. Although he was tall and fair, he was useless and could only brag. But after seeing her father's probing, she found that it was not the case.

"Father is already putting in a lot of effort. Any other guy who came to learn from him in the past would have been knocked down after one or two moves. What kind of bones and tendons does Li Yisheng have? Where does he get so much stamina? Ghost Street is really magical. You can encounter all kinds of unimaginable things." Zhao Qian also gave up the idea of ​​just watching the fun and began to observe carefully.

Li Yi was young and full of vigor, and he inevitably felt a little aggrieved at the moment of being suppressed and beaten. Although Zhao Ge saved him, he still wanted to fight back and did not want to be looked down upon.

But no matter how he fought back, he would be parried.

His attacks became faster and faster, the angles became more tricky, and his body began to quickly master some fighting techniques.

But even so, Li Yi still couldn't take advantage.

Every time he improved a little, this old man became stronger and always was one step ahead of him.

What Li Yi didn't know was that Zhao Ge was not just a simple martial artist. In his world, he was a martial artist who had tempered his muscles, bones and skin, condensed his qi and blood, and had his energy entered his body. He could even fight against evil spirits.

"You can't just improve it a little bit, that won't work, you have to use some special tricks."

His mind was thinking quickly.

But Li Yi had never learned martial arts, nor did he have any means of self-defense. He just followed the practice methods of his own world and continued to evolve.

No.

I have a trick, and that is witnessing.

Li Yi has now activated his own psychic ability, so he should be able to use witnessing.

He immediately remembered what Liu Yan had said: When spirit is focused in the eyes, the eyes can kill people.

this moment.

Li Yifu's heart was touched, and some instinct was touched. His eyes were focused and his mind was concentrated.

"Daddy, his eyes..." Suddenly, Zhao Qian discovered that Li Yi's eyes were glowing in this dim mourning hall.

It's not an illusion.

It was really glowing, and at this moment Zhao Qian smelled a hint of unusual danger, so she subconsciously spoke out to warn.

But at this moment, Li Yi's eyes were already locked on Zhao Ge.

Witness!

But the next moment, Zhao Ge swung a fist, blood appeared on his fist and gushed out, and he punched into those eyes.

In an instant, the light that suddenly lit up went out again in an instant.

Li Yi's witness was abruptly shattered.

Zhao Ge did not attack again, but stepped back a few steps and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, good, good, good, you have dragon tendons and tiger bones, you are born with supernatural powers, you have natural magical powers. I, Zhao Ge, have lived for most of my life, opened martial arts schools and taught martial arts to more than a thousand people, but I have never seen a talent like you."

"God has been so kind to you that he almost wants to give you all the best foundations for warriors in the world."

As he laughed, his tears began to flow again.

These are tears of excitement, of joy.

"Is your father crazy?" Li Yi asked with some confusion at this moment.

Zhao Qian rolled her eyes and said nothing.

She understood her father's feelings at the moment. He had found a piece of jade that had been passed down from generation to generation. However, Li Yi, the boastful big guy, didn't seem to know that he was special.

After laughing excitedly for a while, Zhao Ge calmed down. He calmed down, stood with his hands behind his back, and straightened his slightly hunched back as much as possible. Then he said seriously and earnestly: "Li Yi, Li Mengde, please worship me as your master. I will accept you as my disciple. As long as you practice martial arts with me for three years, I promise that you will be invincible in Xingzhou after three years. In twenty years, no, in just ten years, you will definitely be able to dominate the world. In the future, you may even be able to rule the world with your fists, dominate the eight states, sit on the throne, and be worshipped by ghosts and gods."

"Become a disciple? Be invincible in Xingzhou? Where is Xingzhou? Rule the world with fists? What does this mean? Are my fantasies getting more and more serious before I die? But isn't this martial arts dream a little outrageous? I don't usually like to read martial arts novels."

Li Yi blinked, full of confusion.

I feel like things are getting weird.

Also, am I no longer on Earth? Can I go back?
