Chapter 5 A Bowl of White Noodles
At noon, the scorching sun was shining brightly. When the strong sunlight fell on the grass and trees, withering the green leaves on the branches, the green grass also lowered its head to avoid the scorching sun. Only some unyielding weeds still raised their heads proudly.
Face the scorching sun and show your pride.
In the forest path, with Zhou Yiyun and the old man supporting each other, the two finally arrived in front of the ruined temple. After exhaling heavily, Zhou Yiyun smiled and said to the old man
"Old sir, this is what I call a ruined temple. Because the ruined temple is abandoned and we are in the mountains, we don't have to worry about anyone coming to disturb you."
The ruined temple is extremely dilapidated, and most of the outer wall has collapsed and rests on the weeds. The temple is not a very big place to begin with, and most of the roof tiles have fallen off, making the inside in a state of disarray, with only one corner left.
To provide shelter from wind and rain.
After seeing such an environment, the old man nodded repeatedly and said words like "yes, yes, yes" from time to time. After Zhou Yiyun helped the old man into the ruined temple, he only heard the old man say
"Yiyun, why are you alone in the mountains? Is it because your family is poor and you need to chop wood and sell the money to help the family?"
"No, I am eleven years old now, and my father asked me to chop wood and strengthen my body to prepare for martial arts." Zhou Yiyun answered truthfully.
"Oh, I see, have you been chopping wood to build your body?" the old man asked
"Um"
Seeing Zhou Yiyun nodding and saying, the old man chuckled and said, "Well, I do have some excellent body-building methods here, but the process is more painful. I wonder if you are willing to learn from me."
"Thank you, old man. No matter how hard it is, Yiyun is willing to learn." Upon hearing the old man saying that he was willing to guide him, Zhou Yiyun nodded repeatedly and agreed directly.
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "You were hurt by my exposed zhenqi just now. Although I gave you the elixir, the effect is still a bit poor." After that, he took out a jade bottle out of thin air and handed it to Zhou Yiyun and said, "
I have a bottle of ten-flower jade dew here. You can use it to wipe your body until it becomes red and hot. Repeat this process. Within a day, I guarantee that you will be intact as before and you will not feel any pain at all."
Looking at the elixir handed over by the old man, Zhou Yiyun did not take it, but lowered his head and remained silent.
"What's wrong, Yiyun, why don't you take the spiritual liquid?" the old man said doubtfully.
"Thank you, old man. I'm fine. I don't need to wipe the spiritual liquid." Zhou Yiyun lowered his head and said.
"If you don't apply the spiritual fluid, how will you be able to do physical training tomorrow? I know the injuries on your body very well, so don't hold on," the old man said with a serious look on his face, trying to persuade him.
"It's really not necessary" Zhou Yiyun said again
This time the old man chose not to persuade, but directly let the jade bottle levitate in his hand, floated towards Zhou Yiyun who was standing, and finally landed in the hands of Zhou Yiyun who looked astonished.
Just when he was about to speak again, the old man straightened his face and said, "Take it."
The suddenly aggravated tone frightened Zhou Yiyun, and he almost dropped the jade bottle in his hand to the ground. After he stabilized his mind, he hurriedly said
"I...I have no money"
"Hahahaha..." A burst of laughter came from the old man's mouth. After laughing for a while, the old man said
"It turns out that you are just because you have no money... haha... who wants your money? This is not a valuable thing. I'm talking about the injuries on your body. Why would I want your money?"
Although he heard the old man say this, Zhou Yiyun also had other ideas in his mind. Pills and spiritual fluids are very expensive, and it doesn't matter the level. Practicing a pill not only costs money and material resources, but the most important thing is the success.
The probability of obtaining an elixir is quite low. Unless it is a coincidence, ordinary people will never be able to take a single elixir in their lifetime. It is not difficult to cultivate martial energy, unless there is a congenital defect that prevents the martial energy from being condensed in the body. Therefore, basically everyone in the entire continent has
It is possible to practice, but it is extremely difficult to break through the martial arts. It is even more difficult to rely on basic training without external aids. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Many poor people can only look back and sigh. Now the old man can do whatever he wants.
I don't blame myself for reacting like this when I was given a bottle of spiritual fluid.
Although he felt bad, Zhou Yiyun no longer resisted, took the liquid and bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you, old man. Thank you, old man."
The old man chuckled and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago. You can go wipe it now. I also need to adjust my breath and lower my body."
"Yeah" nodded, Zhou Yiyun walked outside.
Under the scorching sun, Zhou Yiyun took off his clothes and poured out the ten-flower jade dew spiritual liquid. The milky white spiritual liquid shone with a strange luster under the sunlight. The lotion was particularly viscous. The point where the poured lotion connected with the jade bottle
He even pulled out thin white threads. After looking at the lotion for a while, he applied it directly to his body, wiping it and rubbing it. As the wiping time went by, his gradually red body was directly absorbed into the body surface.
The spiritual liquid outside nourished the bones of the body, and the itching feeling directly made Zhou Yiyun let out a weird moan.
Time always flies by, and the sun sets in the west, which means that the day is about to pass. When darkness gradually enveloped the earth, Zhou Yiyun also tidied up his clothes and came to the old man to say goodbye and go home.
"Well, uh,..." Just when Zhou Yiyun was speechless, the old man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the sky and said
"It's almost time. You should go home. Go back early and come back tomorrow morning. I will teach you how to exercise."
"Well, old gentleman, why don't you go home with me? It's not very convenient to be outside."
"No, I'm used to sleeping in the open air. You should go back early. By the way, don't mention me to others. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble," the old man declined.
"Oh" Zhou Yiyun nodded heavily, then took out the jade bottle from his arms and handed it to the old man and said, "Old sir, I have already used this spiritual liquid, and there is still more than half of the bottle in it, please give it back to you."
"There's still more than half a bottle? Then you haven't used it much," the old man said in amazement.
"Use it, use it." Zhou Yiyun still knew about the preciousness of the spiritual fluid, so he used it very stingily, smearing it all over his body and not using it again.
The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "Well, I have a lot of this kind of spiritual liquid. It's not worth it. Just take this bottle. If you accidentally break your muscles and bones in the future, it's quite effective to use this to heal you."
"
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yiyun said, "Thank you very much, Mr."
"Well, go back." The old man waved his hand to Zhou Yiyun and said
After bowing to the old man, Zhou Yiyun stopped stopping and walked out of the ruined temple and ran towards home.
When Zhou Yiyun returned home, he simply helped clean up the housework as usual. He didn't mention anything about what happened today. He simply had dinner and went directly to his room. His thoughts suddenly returned to the old man who ruined the temple.
, can’t help but say
"Now I have eaten hot meals when I returned home, but what should the old man do? Where can he go to eat? Moreover, he is still injured. How can he do it without eating? I can't send it to him now, in case his parents are killed.
I know what to do, and the old gentleman did not hesitate to give me the elixir. I can't leave him alone. What should I do?" Thousands of threads suddenly appeared in his mind, making him restless, and finally decided to stay late at night.
, and secretly went back after the family was asleep.
"Rumble...Rumble" In the sky, lightning flashed across the sky like a silver dragon, accompanied by rumbling thunder from time to time, like the roar of an angry dragon. The sound was terrifying, shocking, and the power of God was even more powerful at this time.
He showed it vividly and coldly looked at all living things.
In front of the kitchen, I saw Zhou Yiyun lighting up the fire to make noodles in the middle of the night. This kind of thing was easy for Zhou Yiyun who was used to doing housework. Not long after, he walked out of the kitchen with a big bowl of noodles and took it out.
Wrapping the entire bowl of noodles with oil paper, he took an oilcloth umbrella and walked towards the mountains. His face was filled with joy. Under the dim light, Zhou Yiyun walked step by step towards the ruined temple, with the darkness behind him swallowing him like a devil.
Following the way he came, Zhou Yiyun, who had never walked at night, felt fear gradually spread in his heart. But he still walked forward stubbornly and never gave up.
When they were about to arrive at the ruined temple, the sky finally stopped showing mercy and started to rain heavily. The rain made a strange sound in the woods. Zhou Yiyun quickly opened the oilcloth umbrella to protect the oil lamp in his hand.
Because there were too many items in my hands, I could not hold them steadily and was irritated by rambling. Later, I simply threw away the umbrella, hunched over to protect the lamp, and walked forward with difficulty step by step. When I came to the ruined temple.
In front of the door, all his clothes were soaked, but his face was still full of smile, he rushed into the ruined temple and shouted directly
"Old sir, old sir..."
Rustling... At this moment, there was no sound except the sound of rain. The sound Zhou Yiyun expected did not sound. At this moment, Zhou Yiyun truly felt fear in his heart, and strange emotions occupied his heart like a flood. Darkness
Smiling extremely arrogantly, mocking this abandoned ignorant human being.
