Chapter 64: Destination and Prophet
The road ahead was incredibly smooth.
Of course, Xia might not think so.
After the lessons of the first day, Xia had mastered the skill of playing badly without any instruction. No matter what Li Ke said, she had a blank expression on her face and seemed to have no intention of agreeing or disagreeing.
Just put it on.
Li Ke had no way to deal with this. If Xia got angry and argued, then it would be somewhat effective. But if she had no reaction at all, then it was obvious that nothing he said would be of any use.
Just let the facts prove everything.
They quickly arrived at the village that Li Ke needed to go to. From a distance, Li Ke saw the smoke from the village and the songs of the weavers singing while weaving cloth.
That's right, chanting magic songs while weaving can effectively improve the shelf life and quality of the cloth, and it will also bring a little bit of magic, which can make people feel comfortable and happy.
Of course, his final destination was not here, he just wanted to deliver the letter to Elder Suma’s friend first.
But Li Ke was very happy when he thought that after Shang Zan settled down, he would be able to fully develop his strength.
Especially since he will meet a fox here, and this fox can solve his schizophrenia problem——
The reason why he relies on the current mode of using the "simulator" ability is because this mode allows him to block the simulated memories and avoid schizophrenia.
Memories contain emotions, and emotions can affect a person. He doesn't want to become something other than himself one day.
But if there is a fox named Ahri, Li Ke won't have to worry. From the description, Ahri needs to absorb life force and memory to survive, and his life force is sufficient, and the extra memory is as much as possible.
With her around, my strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds.
"You seem to be looking forward to it?"
His expectation was noticed by Shen who was standing beside him, and he looked at him with some curiosity.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it. Ahem, no."
He definitely didn't expect how he would use the fox!
Absolutely not!
He, Li Ke, is not such a person!
The sword is enough for Li Ke's life!
No need for a fox!
"What do you expect from a place like this?"
Shen yawned. This village was just a deserted little village. The only special thing about it was the elders. According to his father, the elders seemed to be able to determine a person's goodness or badness by observing his breath, as well as some predictive abilities.
However, these abilities are not considered outstanding in Ionia, as there are plenty of truly capable prophets.
"Because I can make money... Never mind. I can't explain it to a rich young master like you. You must have never experienced the trouble of being poor, right? You are the kind of person who can buy whatever you want just by telling your dad, right? Oh, you are a rich young master who has no worries about food and clothing."
Li Ke held his nose and looked at Shen unceremoniously. To be honest, he was really envious, really envious of Shen.
Nothing else.
I just simply envy the other person for being rich.
The corner of Shen's eyes twitched slightly. He felt a deep malice in Li Ke's words, especially the attitude of comparing himself to a rich young master. It really made people want to beat him up.
Besides, his father is not the kind of person who would buy things just because he says so!
His father said bitterly that he was not the kind of guy who could have gentle fatherly love!
His dad will just buy the store!
"Hey...what do you mean? Do you want me to beat you up?"
Grabbing Li Ke by the collar and raising his fist, Shen threatened Li Ke with death.
"I'm so scared, but young master, you don't want to damage the reputation of the Order of the Balance, right? There are people here who know you. If you don't want to damage the reputation of the Order of the Balance, just put your fist down."
Li Ke continued to respond to Shen in an arrogant tone.
The reason why he did this was very simple: after he sent his lunch out yesterday, he wanted to ask Shen for some dry food, but Shen refused with the excuse that "you have done something wrong, so you must taste the bitter fruit." This made him hungry for a long time.
This is just pure revenge.
There was no way Shen would risk damaging his father's reputation by beating him up here.
Therefore, you can provoke the other party here as much as you want.
“You bastard!”
Shen was so angry that he felt like he was about to smoke. He didn't know why, but the more he interacted with Li Ke, the more easily he got angry. In the past, if someone scolded his whole family, he would just kill the person with a smile, but now Li Ke just provoked him a little, and it was not a big deal, but he wanted to beat Li Ke up here regardless of anything.
He reflected on it for a while and felt that it was not his fault, but because Li Ke was too outrageous!
My father was right...
"You really are the kind of guy who can keep getting into trouble!"
After saying that, Shen let go of Li Ke's clothes and silently recited a mantra he heard from Li Ke.
"Who would be happy if I died of anger..."
"Hey! I'm going to sue you for defamation if you do that! Ah, no more trouble."
Seeing that Shen was not taking the bait, Li Ke curled his lips in boredom, but after seeing the guards getting closer and closer, he no longer looked so frivolous, but quickly returned to his usual demeanor in the dojo.
Solemn, serious, and earnest.
After entering the village, Li Ke and his companions attracted a lot of people's attention. After showing the village guards the emblem of their disciples of Yufeng Sword Technique and the letter from Elder Su Ma, they successfully brought Shen Shen to meet the elders of the village.
A white-haired elder named Feng Si.
The old man did not tie his hair up, his snow-white hair was casually draped over his body, but he had a strange feeling of being free and easy. Although his clothes were simple, they were very neat, giving people an inexplicable sense of luxury.
But to be honest, Li Ke was stunned when he heard the name of this elder, because this name conflicted with their Wind-Controlling Sword Technique no matter how you looked at it.
If this guy was a young man, Li Ke, as a disciple of the Yufeng sword technique, would have to compete with him no matter what.
No reason, just because of the name.
The Wind Control Sword Technique is a sword technique that controls the wind, but you ended up being killed by the wind?
Looking for trouble?
Although Li Ke did not know the Wind Control Sword Technique, as Elder Su Ma's disciple, he still had to cause trouble for his master's family reputation.
But unfortunately, the other party was an elder, not only an old man with a good reputation, but also the elder of his master, so Li Ke suppressed all the questions in his mind, respectfully performed the junior's salute to the other party, and then waited there silently for questions.
As if he saw what Li Ke was thinking, the elder named Feng Si smiled slightly, put Su Ma's letter aside, and then spoke to Li Ke in a voice with a gentle smile.
"Well, I didn't expect Su Ma to send you, who is the weakest among the rumors. But now it seems that rumors cannot be fully trusted."
The old man paused and looked Li Ke up and down.
In his opinion, Li Ke had almost no magic, but he had a sense of calmness and virtue. And when Li Ke and the bitter son walked in, his guards subconsciously put their hands on the hilts of the swords and stared at their palms to prevent them from suddenly hugging and hurting people.
Ku Shuo's son had such ability and he was no exception, but it was quite rare for a person without magic to make his guards who were proficient in spells and swordsmanship feel alert.
Moreover, the vigorous life energy in this body is completely different from the weak one as rumored.
So he looked at Li Ke more carefully, and used the gift given to him by God to see Li Ke's breath.
In his superficial perception, he found that the feeling Li Ke gave him was very much like a clear pool of water, reflecting the starry sky, giving people a comfortable feeling.
But if you look deeper, you will find that under the clear pool water is a whole piece of white jade with a bright white glow, giving people a strange feeling.
People's words can lie, magic can be changed, but 'Chi' is different, 'Chi' cannot be changed.
Li Ke's pure and clear "aura" proves that he is a person who has his own bottom line and always sticks to it. Such a person can achieve success no matter what he does.
So he couldn't help but become curious.
Almost no one knew that he was a prophet, and even fewer people knew that he once made a prophecy for Su Ma, predicting that Su Ma would die due to the negligence of his disciples.
But Su Ma only asked whether his death was to help people walk on the right path, and whether his disciples would walk on the true path of wind-controlling swordsmanship in the future because of his death. After finding the true right path, he laughed and refused his request to continue to predict the future for him.
Because he felt that his death could bring righteousness to the lives of others and his disciples, and there was nothing in the world that could make people happier than this.
So he is very curious now. With disciples like Li Ke, and the famous Yongen and Yasuo, how could this guy Suma die due to the negligence of his own disciples?
Although Yasuo and Yongen were not in front of him, Li Ke was in front of him, so he could also see something from it.
He opened his eyes, and in the face of Li Ke's puzzled gaze, he wanted to use his talent to see Li Ke's future, to see what kind of person Li Ke would become in the future, and what kind of image Li Ke would have in the matter of Su Ma's death.
However……
The world in his eyes was infinitely magnified, and the pool of water and white jade he had seen before expanded rapidly. He was shocked to find that what he saw was not a pool of water, but an endless ocean connected to the starry sky!
The water surface reflects the starry sky, with countless stars shining in it. The light of the starry sky is swaying like waves in the ocean, as if it were a real ocean.
But all this began to change quickly. Li Ke's back appeared in front of him. As if noticing his gaze, Li Ke turned his head away.
Elder Feng Si was stunned at this moment.
What did he see?
Light?
No, it’s one Li Ke after another.
A defender who wields strange weapons and fights against countless corpses.
A farmer who worked hard and saved countless lives with his crops.
A swordsman with a flying sword fighting a giant octopus.
An adventurer who walks with the light and defeats all dangers.
Call upon the true name of the sword and slay the messenger of the underworld who has killed dead ghosts.
Hunt giant beasts and lead courageous pioneers.
Fight the dragon and knock it down into the valley.
Dancers who are youthful and trend-setting...
…
Countless images came to him, and his consciousness was quickly invaded by these countless futures. Finally, he saw a ball of pure white light.
He didn't quite understand what was going on. He knew a lot about a person's future very early on. Sometimes, a person's fate is not fixed, but a choice. So when looking at a person's future, you can see a lot of futures.
But he didn't understand why Li Ke's future was so vast that he couldn't see it clearly. It was just like when he first discovered his talent and wanted to see his future clearly, but he couldn't see anything except a ball of light and blurry fragments.
Moreover, this place gave him a strange feeling, as if it was not him who was watching Li Ke in the long river of fate, but Li Ke who was watching him.
A very strange prophecy.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but at this time, his guards noticed that he had been in a daze and had no signs of reaction, so they couldn't help but remind him.
"Elder Feng Si?"
Elder Feng Si finally woke up from the state of prophecy. He looked at the half-burned incense and knew that he had been in a daze for more than a short time, at least half a quarter of an hour.
This was unusual. In the past, even the most difficult predictions only took him a few minutes. This time, he wasted half a quarter of an hour just to see the surface.
But he found that both Li Ke and his son were still quietly waiting for him to speak, without any impatience.
"This guy Suma is much better at recruiting disciples than he is at swordsmanship. It seems that Yasuo may not be as arrogant as the rumors say."
With this thought flashing through his mind, Elder Feng Si planned to go and see with his own eyes in the future the only disciple who inherited Su Ma's swordsmanship to see if he was also a gentle, respectful, frugal and modest young man like Li Ke.
I must see it some other day.
"I'm sorry, but this is the kind of trouble that comes with age. Please forgive my rudeness."
With a light cough to cover up his embarrassment, Elder Fengsi changed the subject and picked up Su Ma's letter again.
"I understand what Su Ma means. From now on, you will be responsible for the affairs of the Stone Creek Village in the east. There are about 700 to 800 people there... and before you decide to leave, that is where you will be responsible, and the people there will support you."
This is equivalent to handing over a village and the surrounding land to Li Ke to manage. If Li Ke never leaves here, then this village will be Li Ke's territory for life.
This was the place Su Ma asked his old friend to give to his apprentice, and it even seemed like a place he was entrusting his son to.
This really made him a little confused. With the skills and "spirit" that Li Ke showed, it would be quite easy for him to build a foundation.
Is Su Ma worrying too much?
