Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 3: After living two lives, you will understand many things
"prick!"
When Yan Tingzhi's knife cut the corner of Li Si's clothes, he felt a little lonely in his heart.
He remembered that this was the first time in four years that he had cut the corner of Li Si's clothes.
But he also knew that this person today would die here.
Because it was almost impossible to capture Li Si alive, he had been chasing Li Si for four years and naturally understood this deeply.
Li Si's lightness skill is unparalleled in the world.
As for how good Li Si's lightness skill is, no one in the world can tell for sure. Even Jiang Lian'er, who is ranked second in the world in lightness skill, can only shake her head and smile bitterly, saying that this man's lightness skill is beyond the ordinary.
Words like "light as a swallow" and "leaving no footprints on snow" can no longer be used to describe him.
Someone once said that he had seen him walking slowly in the center of the lake, a hundred feet above the cold pond, as if he were walking on flat ground, holding a pot of wine in his hand, half drunk and half awake.
Others said that they had seen him soaring from a tall building into the clouds in the sky, swaying in the wind.
It is unknown how much of this is true or false, but before him, such lightness skills were unheard of.
Moreover, Li Si's Qinggong is not only light but also fast, which Yan Tingzhi has personally experienced.
It was so fast that his body passed by without wind and he was invisible. In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
So, people say that he is the number one thief in the world.
And if there really is a heavenly palace, he would definitely be able to sneak up to it.
It’s a pity that we have to end this here today.
Four years is enough for one person to fully understand another person, and Yan Tingzhi also fully understands Li Si.
To be frank, he believed that in this word of thief, Li Si deserved the word of saint.
Li Si was different from ordinary thieves. He did not kill people, rob goods, violate women, or steal from the old or young. He only stole what he wanted and often returned it after stealing.
Moreover, he always helps the poor, and over the years, his good deeds have often been heard in the world.
If Li Si was willing to plead guilty and be punished, Yan Tingzhi had thought about capturing Li Si alive.
It is always better to be alive than to be dead.
But Li Si would always run away, and he knew it, just as Li Si knew that he would always chase him.
The law is ruthless, Li Si, don't blame me.
Just when Yan Tingzhi was about to close his eyes and strike with the knife, he suddenly discovered something strange.
Li Si was still smiling, and that smile was the same as always, with a touch of gentleness, a touch of openness, a touch of indifference, and a touch of elegance.
Damn it, is there any way for him to escape?!
Yan Tingzhi stared at his knife, wishing that the knife could be a little faster.
Although he felt regretful, he would not let any thief go because he was an official.
However, Yan Tingzhi still miscalculated.
In mid-air, Li Si's figure suddenly became overlapping and then dispersed.
In the blink of an eye, the world became quiet, and even the rain seemed to have slowed down.
In Yan Tingzhi's eyes, the raindrops stopped, some were still in mid-air, some were splashing on the ground, and some had just rolled off his blade.
These raindrops are crystal clear, and in each drop , there seems to be a reflection of the phantom of Li Si.
It reflected the paper umbrella he was holding, the white robe he was wearing, the smile on the corner of his mouth, and the white jade pendant around his waist.
The jade pendant was slightly raised, and the word "steal" on it turned gently.
When everything returned to normal and the sound of rain started again, his knife had already hit the air.
No one reacted to what happened, but Li Si had already stepped out of the encirclement, and the iron chain that was originally wrapped around his hand fell to the side.
He flew towards the rooftop nearby, leaving a sentence leisurely in the air.
"I still have some things to do, so I won't bother with you this time."
Looking at the figure holding an umbrella who is about to fly away.
Yan Tingzhi's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole. He swung his sword and shouted loudly.
"Chase!"
More than a dozen figures jumped up and chased after the man in the sky, but how could they catch up?
In a flash, Li Si disappeared.
On the street, the only thing left was a group of people standing in the rain, looking distraught. It was still raining heavily.
"Ah, that's it." The teahouse owner finally finished counting the numbers and said with a smile.
From beginning to end, he never intervened in the pursuit.
"Why didn't you take action just now?" Yan Tingzhi rolled his eyes and glared at the boss. If this man had taken action, he might have caught Li Si by now.
"Sorry, I just did some calculations."
The teahouse owner patted his abacus with a smile, and his old voice sounded very kind.
"I found it's not worth it to help you catch him."
"Then why did you come?" Yan Tingzhi asked with a dark face.
"You called me, so here I come." The old man spread his hands innocently.
The street was quiet for a while.
"Hmph." Yan Tingzhi snorted coldly and ignored the old man. He turned his head to look in the direction where Li Si left and tightened the machete in his hand.
He wouldn't just give up, just like he hadn't given up in the previous four years.
He will keep chasing until he catches Li Si.
Li Si was a thief, a flying thief. His friends in the underworld gave him face and gave him a nickname, "The King of Thieves", which made him a great thief.
Just like his common nickname, his name is also very common, Li Si, also known as Zhang San Li Si.
But calling him Li Si was too ordinary, so he changed his name to Li Si.
Li Si knows some kung fu, but not much, only four types.
A set of internal strength techniques, a set of light skills steps, a hidden weapon acupuncture, and a set of methods to take objects with bare hands.
He doesn't think he's an expert at it, but he's done a pretty good job.
Li Si loved to laugh. People in the martial arts world liked his laugh, but also hated it. Whether they hated it or liked it depended on the situation at the time.
Li Si is very ordinary, at least he thinks so, but he has a secret, a secret that no one knows.
He lived two lives, or rather, he had the memories of two lives.
In his previous life, he was an ordinary person from Country Z on Earth. He was born in an ordinary way, lived an ordinary life, and died in an ordinary way.
Theoretically speaking, one should be able to reincarnate normally.
But when he crossed the Naihe Bridge, he forgot to drink Mengpo soup. No one knows how he crossed the bridge. Anyway, in the fog, he crossed the bridge and was reincarnated.
So, he became a thief in this life.
This life was a world of martial arts. After learning those so-called martial arts secrets, splitting mountains and splitting rocks, chasing the wind and the moon were no longer just empty talk. Prolonging life and staying young forever were also possible. For those with high cultivation, living for four or five hundred years was not a problem. It seemed that in some ways , his life was much better than that of an ordinary person in his previous life.
At the same time, there is a dynasty in this life that he knows and doesn’t recognize, called the Tang Dynasty.
He said he knew it because he had heard of the name, and he said he didn't know it because this Tang Dynasty was completely different from the Tang Dynasty he knew.
In this life, there is a place that he knows and doesn’t recognize, called Jianghu.
He said he knew him because he was in the world of martial arts. He said he didn't know him because the world of martial arts was too complicated. He couldn't tell whether the lake was clear or turbid, or whether the river was wide or narrow.
There are many sects in this world, some he has heard of and some he has not heard of.
There are many people in this world, some of whom he knows and some of whom he doesn't know.
In short, this place is very big, so big that it seems boundless and he doesn't know where to go.
But in fact, if possible, he still wants to go back to his previous life.
Because he is not a carefree person, he has a concern, a deep concern.
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't go back.
Isn’t it?
In a small inn on the roadside, Li Si ordered a pot of sake and sat at a seat by the window to drink it by himself.
The rain had stopped, or perhaps he had walked too far at once and walked to a place where it was no longer raining.
After drinking a glass of sake, Li Si looked out the window in a daze for a while, then took something out of his arms.
It was a wooden plaque with a woman carved on it. Li Si had carved it himself, but it was not very pretty and he was embarrassed to show it to others.
At this moment, he was staring at the wooden sign in a daze . If there were someone nearby who knew him, he would definitely be surprised.
Because Li Si, who was always smiling, had no smile on his face at this moment.
Li Si lowered his eyes and talked to himself in front of the wooden sign.
"This time, I came to Jiangnan, it's quite beautiful, how about you, how are you doing?"
