Life Hunter

Li Qingxian didn't care about the dirty beggar's direct gaze and continued to recall the changes in the strange town that the dirty beggar told him.

After a long time, the dirty beggar said, "I hope to cooperate with Night Guard."

"We have always had a great time cooperating." Li Qingxian said.

"You know what I'm thinking about collaborating."

"I can only say that Ye Wei will try his best to do what he should do. As for the rest, I cannot agree." Li Qingxian said.

"You obviously have great power." The dirty beggar said.

Li Qingxian asked: "I heard that you have a powerful faction behind you, so even if you curse every day, the mayor won't be able to touch you."

The dirty beggar was silent for a long time, took out a cloth package, handed it to Li Qingxian, and said: "When we get out of Guizhen, please ask Mr. Ye for help in delivering this item to Guxuan Mountain. At that time, Guxuan Mountain will promise you anything. A reasonable request.”

Li Qingxian took the package. It was gray-black, rough and prickly, and contained a faint strange power.

"If I remember correctly, this thing is an ancient inheritance. I didn't expect you to be the preacher of Guxuan Mountain." Li Qingxian said.

The dirty beggar said nothing.

Li Qingxian looked at the coarse cloth bag of inheritance and sighed: "I never thought that the so-called largest martial arts sect would be reduced to this, and could not even protect the preacher."

"There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Guxuan Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years, so it is already rare." said the dirty beggar.

"I always thought that Guxuan Mountain was still the largest martial arts sect today with numerous talents. Why did it suddenly stop?"

"From the perspective of outsiders, it suddenly stopped working, but from our own perspective, Guxuan Mountain has been declining since more than a hundred years ago. It is only now that outsiders are gradually aware of it."

Li Qingxian said: "I heard someone say that there is a Token of Heroes in Guxuan Mountain?"

"I came in early. The Order of Heroes happened later. I'm not sure. I guess it was there." The dirty beggar said.

"Let's talk about Guxuan Mountain. I want the Heroes Order." Li Qingxian said straight to the point.

The dirty beggar said: "Now in Guxuan Mountain, as long as you have power, money and treasures, you can really get the Order of the Heroes. In the early years, Guxuan Mountain was still good, but as big as a royal family, as small as a small one There has never been a family that can truly be passed down safely for thousands of years. Who hasn’t experienced ups and downs? Until more than a hundred years ago, the internal fighting in Guxuan Mountain intensified, and the top of each peak was in darkness... Later, some people left the mountain... …The rest mended and mended…”

"... Later, Gu Xuanshan's main focus was no longer on studying martial arts and training new disciples, but on constantly purchasing Mingshan from Mingzong to guard the sect's destiny, so that the Mingshan of Guxuanshan even exceeded that of many ordinary Mingzong... I Later I realized that I entered Guizhen because of the unique inheritance of Guxuan Mountain. I was just the effect, not the cause... I couldn't accept it at first, but then I thought about it and suddenly figured it out."

"Everything in the world is like this. The reason why Guxuan Mountain is in decline is because we did something wrong and were eliminated. Next, there will definitely be new sects of martial arts that will catch up and adapt to the new world. For us at Guxuan Mountain It’s a bad thing, but for the entire human race, if the old doesn’t go away, the new won’t come.”

"Okay, if I leave Guizhen alive, I will give this object to Gu Xuanshan as much as possible." Li Qingxian said.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye." said the dirty beggar.

"I suggest you tell everything you know. This will help me solve the mystery." Li Qingxian said.

The dirty beggar said: "I don't understand why you continue to look for new ways to solve the puzzle when everyone else has failed? Isn't it good to use the old method to solve the puzzle?"

Li Qingxian looked out the door and said slowly: "My initial thoughts about this matter were the same as yours. Since you can still live by doing nothing, why bother? But this logic has a fatal flaw. That is, we are using the past and experience that are not absolutely correct to judge the future. In an extremely simple environment, this statement is true, because everything remains unchanged, and if you follow the past, the results will be similar. But the problem The reason is that this world is always changing and changing violently. Any judgment of the future based on the past and experience that is not absolutely correct will not only be invalid, but also fatal. For example..."

"...For example, when my late father died, he died suddenly while he was living well. For example, I was almost killed when I was living well. For example, Uncle Zhou and his family should have lived a peaceful life, but they all After dying... I feel that only by doing something, something different from the past, can I survive and live better."

"It's not that I'm ambitious, it's not that I'm arrogant, it's not that I'm high-spirited, it's that I'm saving myself."

"What will happen if we continue to use the old way of solving puzzles? It will definitely be the old result, that is, the mayor becomes the new nobleman, and a few lucky people and the mayor leave the town. As for the townspeople in the lower mountain area, as for me With my friends and hundreds of night guards, it is more likely that I will die here. Therefore, my self-saving instinct tells me that I must do something different to solve the mystery and survive."

The dirty beggar took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and said, "I understand. I am actually doing something different from before."

"That's why I'm telling you this. The reason why I'm looking for new ways to solve the mystery is because I don't want to die. Even if I die, I can't die using the old method." Li Qingxian said.

The dirty beggar nodded slowly and said, "Me too. I know I'm going to die, but I don't want to die in the same way as those people. I want to change my way of living, or my way of dying."

"So, what else do you want to say about the solution to the mystery?"

The dirty beggar frowned and thought slowly. After a long time, he said: "I vaguely remember someone saying that since the beggar doesn't take pleasure in cannibalism, there must be some way to solve the mystery with less death. But what is it specifically and how is it specific? Yes, no one should know. In fact, many people have had whimsical ideas. For example, is that well a passage to the outside world? For example, can knocking down the ginseng fruit tree solve the mystery? In short, some people think that, If you want to solve the mystery, you must find an unexpected method.”

"For example?" Li Qingxian asked.

The dirty beggar thought for a while and said: "There used to be a scholar who was also studying the solution to puzzles. He studied for a long time and was at a loss. But he came up with a statement that seemed very inexplicable to us. He said that theoretically speaking, the solution is The trick is very simple, you can solve it bit by bit. As long as you can solve a little bit, you can solve one person's problem; as long as you can solve one person's problem, you can solve everyone's problem. He said, we should break down the problem of solving the problem into three parts. Countless slices, then cut into countless dices, and finally cut into countless simple things that we can accomplish. Then, do it one by one, and one day, we can solve the mystery."

The dirty beggar paused and continued: "The reason why I remember this clearly is because he said that this was the method of Zhao Yishan, the Number One Scholar, and all of us felt that, in theory, this method is really feasible. . But being a human being can’t just talk in vain. What about reality? Reality is more important.”
