"Xiao Ling, are you sure you're going to do it this way?"

"How should I know? If you have the time, why not think about how to step and turn this step? Hey, can people really follow the steps left by Master Shi?"

"Ha! You saw how fast and beautiful Master Shi's footwork was just now."

"But it doesn't work here at all, ouch..."

Watching Xu Ziling trip over himself again, Kou Zhong lay in the shade of a tree nearby, biting a grass root in his mouth and said, "I wonder if we've practiced it wrong!"

"Oh? Master Zhong, what do you think?" Xu Ziling sat down next to him and asked.

Kou Zhong changed his usual grinning demeanor and said, "Master Shi said that to get rid of the form and preserve the spirit, and to practice the invisible method with the visible method is the only way to find the destined person with superior martial arts. Will this set of footwork be the same?"

Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said happily, "Master Zhong, you are really a genius, but how can this footwork practice the invisible method with the visible method? Do I have to sit aside and stare at these footprints?"

Kou Zhong patted his butt and said with a smile, "Of course we can't sit here. We can sit on the tree." He pointed to the tree trunk above his head, "What's that saying? The higher you stand, the more you can see everything."

Xu Ziling took action before he finished speaking, climbing up to sit on the tree trunk above his head, looking down at these footprints from above, and the vision was indeed very different.

"Kou Zhong, come up quickly. It's really different from here."

Kou Zhong climbed up the tree and sat next to him. Looking down, he saw sixty-four footprints forming a circle. In the center of the circle, sixteen small characters seemed to be branded on the ground, which went straight into his heart: "Movement is unpredictable, it's dangerous or safe, it's hard to know when to move forward or stop, it's going back or forth."

"I'm really a genius."

Kou Zhong groaned, then calmed down and looked at the first footprint where Su Yuchen stood.

At this time, the afterglow of the two people's rebellious innateness was still there, and the fit with the natural world had not been completely closed. They only felt that the circle had a natural beauty, but the impetuousness in their hearts was gone.

The two people had made up their minds. When they looked at the sixty-four footprints again, they couldn't help but see the virtual image of footsteps turning and moving in their minds, as if the stone master was under the tree, with his sleeves fluttering, light and agile, like a fairy stepping on the clouds.

After a long time, Xu Ziling jumped down and stepped on the first footprint. Then he stretched out his body, swayed and stepped on more than a dozen footprints in an instant. Just when the footprints were reversed, Xu Ziling turned around and stepped forward and backward freely. Soon he made a circle and returned to the starting point.

One of them stood under the tree and the other sat on the tree. When their eyes met, they couldn't help showing joy. Sure enough, the main point of this set of steps was in the sixteen words.

………………

Su Yuchen left the woods not long ago. He walked along the path and finally found a market town before sunset. After asking, he realized that he had arrived near Danyang.

"Sir, walk more than ten miles west from here to the big city of Danyang. If you walk faster, you can enter the city before dark. If you want to go to Yangzhou, you can take a boat from there."

Su Yuchen took out a piece of silver to thank the shop owner who showed him the way, and then went to Danyang. The soldiers guarding the city knew he was not an ordinary citizen just by looking at his clothes and appearance, so they did not stop him and finally let him enter the city before the city gates were closed.

Danyang is located upstream of Yangzhou and is the only way from the inland to Yangzhou and overseas. The city is crisscrossed with rivers and stone bridges. People live by the water and build houses along the river. The houses are lined up one after another, but it is a veritable Jiangnan water city.

After Su Yuchen stepped into the main street, every household along the street had hung lanterns to illuminate the stone path. The arch bridge was crowded with people, scholars, and vendors carrying loads, coming and going, and small boats in the river were coming and going.

Su Yuchen glanced and went directly into the largest restaurant, "Danyang Restaurant".

Stepping onto the second floor, more than a dozen tables on the second floor were already occupied. At one of the tables, a handsome young man in luxurious clothes was sitting. He was slightly surprised when he saw Su Yuchen, and he obviously knew him.

Su Yuchen took a look and had no impression of him. Obviously, his original body did not take this person to heart.

Su Yuchen was too lazy to read the narration in his mind, and immediately chose a table facing the street and by the window to sit down. From here, he could see the night view of the water city.

"The people of the world are suffering, and the wind and moon in the south of the Yangtze River are boundless. I don't know how long this scene can last under the front of the army."

Looking at the scenery downstairs, Su Yuchen shook his head slightly, thinking of the Demon Sect and Cihang Jingzhai that stirred up the storm in this world, and his disgust in his heart became even stronger.

With a thought, the soul spontaneously reflected and reflected in the outside world. The temperature in the restaurant and within a few miles suddenly dropped, and allPeople felt a chill in their hearts for no reason, as if they were standing in the cold winter. Some people even turned pale and had all kinds of physical discomfort.

Until there was a scream downstairs, someone fell into the water. Su Yuchen's external Yuanshen moved and quickly restrained his power, but he knew that he had always disliked Cihang Jingzhai, and Yuanshen was the best feedback to his own emotions.

"Well. Soon, I will also travel around the world. Cihang Jingzhai seems to want to be the emperor of Luoyang? I want to go and see."

At this time, the young man at the next table looked at Su Yuchen in doubt, as if to confirm something, and then quietly got up and left.

After staying overnight, Su Yuchen went out of the city gate and came to the riverside pier the next day. He originally intended to take a small boat back to Yangzhou. But he didn't expect that there was a constant flow of people on the pier, countless ships docked, and merchants came in an endless stream.

Su Yuchen just performed the art of "seeing the sky and hearing the earth", and countless information naturally gathered into his ears.

Only then did they know that it was Li Zitong and Du Fuwei who defeated the Sui army in the Huai River, and now the army was heading straight for Liyang, and the waterway traffic had been cut off. These merchants could only stop in Danyang and wait and see, or return to Yangzhou, and dare not go west again.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion on the dock, and it was obvious that they had felt the imminent war. Su Yuchen shook his head and was about to turn around to find a merchant ship returning to Yangzhou. He heard someone not far away say: "Hello, Senior Shi, are you going back to Yangzhou?"

Su Yuchen turned his head and looked three meters away to the left. It was the young man upstairs last night. He was elegant and had a unique demeanor. His eyes were warm and not rebellious. Obviously, he had a very good family education.

Next to the young man stood a middle-aged man with white hair and a silver-white beard. Just standing there, he showed a great demeanor, and his demeanor was even more humble and gentle, making people feel like spring breeze.

The two men stood out in the crowd like a crane among chickens, and the people passing by spontaneously avoided them.

Facing Su Yuchen's indifferent eyes, the young man still moved forward and backward in moderation, and bowed his hands and said: "I am Song Shidao, and I meet Senior Shi. If Senior Shi wants to return to Yangzhou, I can arrange a small boat to send him off."

The middle-aged man standing next to him looked at Su Yuchen in doubt, and then bowed his hands and said: "My younger brother Song Lu, I meet Brother Shi. After not seeing each other for many years, Brother Shi has become more and more unfathomable."

Su Yuchen nodded calmly: "So you are from the Song family. Do Li Zitong and Du Fuwei dare to intercept the merchant ships of the Song family?"
