Chapter Twenty-Six: A Strange Little Village
On the empty wilderness, a figure crossed at great speed, leaving behind afterimages along the way, dreamy and ethereal.
Chu Ming took advantage of the chaos to slip out of the Hongmeng training camp, took Ling Bo's slight steps, and ran all the way here.
To Chu Ming's surprise, Ling Bo Weibu is an extremely superior light exercise method, based on the I Ching 8864 hexagrams, and marches in a specific order in the direction of the hexagrams.
Walk exactly one big circle from the first step to the last step.
This footwork is extremely subtle and requires extremely advanced skill to be cultivated.
This is also why, Chu Ming felt dizzy when he first tried to cultivate.
What surprised Chu Ming the most was that when the 8864 hexagram direction ran for a week, the consumed power would be fed back again, and it could also be increased.
In other words, if Chu Ming kept performing Ling Bo Weibu, his skills would not only not decrease, but would continue to increase.
This discovery simply made Chu Ming ecstatic, in the process of hurrying, Ling Bo micro-steps did not stop, not exhausted, but more and more energetic.
This Ling Bo microstep is simply a hurried artifact.
I just don't know if the shoes can stand it.
Chu Ming ran out for more than forty miles in one go, and didn't stop until he passed by a quaint village.
The village looks ancient, with blue stone slabs on the ground and a red lantern hanging at the entrance to the village.
Looking at the narrow path around him, Chu Ming couldn't help frowning.
Nowadays, there are roads in rural areas, although they are not very wide, but there is no problem with vehicles.
The small village in front of me is still an old stone road, and there is no road connecting the village, so it seems that this village should be relatively remote and backward.
But think about it, the Hongmeng training camp was originally built in a place where birds don't, and the nearby villages shouldn't be much better.
I happened to be hungry and went in to buy something to eat.
Chu Ming's belongings were all destroyed in the Hongmeng training camp, but there was nothing left, and the most valuable thing was just a laptop.
He now has nothing but 10 million yuan in his bank card.
Fortunately, the mobile phone is still there, the bank card is bound to the mobile phone, and you can choose WeChat payment wherever you go.
Hey, 10 million!
Looking back at the time when I was at my worst, the cash in my hand did not exceed one million.
Now that I suddenly have 10 million, I don't know how to spend it.
I knew that there was a lot of money for the Hongmeng Organization at the beginning, but 10 million was still too little, and it was far from those who could reward hundreds of millions of dollars by signing in.
Chu Ming walked to the entrance of the village, and an old man with a dry cigarette saw his figure and couldn't help frowning.
"Boy, how did you get here?"
The old man took a puff of dry cigarette and asked suspiciously.
Chu Ming was also puzzled, and responded: "I walked over, uncle, do you have a supermarket here? I want to buy something." ”
The old man stood up, glanced at Chu Ming up and down, couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "There is no supermarket here, you can go shopping somewhere else!"
Hearing this, Chu Ming's face suddenly turned dark.
Within a radius of several tens of kilometers, there is only one village here, and it is not known when it will be until the next village.
Chu Ming immediately responded: "If there is no supermarket, is there a commissary? I'm a little hungry, so I want to buy something to eat." ”
The old man took a puff of dry smoke, spit out a cloudy smoke ring, and said, "There is no commissary in our village, but today is the day when we elect the high priest in Chentang Village, so it should be no problem for you to go in and eat and drink." ”
"Huh?"
Chu Ming was confused.
Is the election of a high priest the same as the election of village cadres?
Chu Ming was a little unclear, but he didn't take it too seriously, after all, this kind of remote mountain village is very likely to have customs that he doesn't know.
No matter what the other party chooses, he is here to eat, and he will leave when he is full.
Thinking of this, Chu Ming thanked the old man and immediately walked towards the interior of the village.
The old man looked at Chu Ming's departing back, a gleam shone in his cloudy eyes, and he said to himself with a smile: "It's a little interesting, this kid was able to come here, I really don't know how he broke the phantom array at the entrance of the village." ”
The old man leaned comfortably on the stone bench at the entrance of the village, took another puff of dry smoke, and his cloudy eyes became sharp in vain.
"Whew!"
The old man opened his mouth, and a smoke sword qi erupted, piercing the boulder on the opposite side in an instant, and the sharpness of that smoke sword qi was staggering.
"Hey, I haven't practiced for half a month, and my skills have regressed so much, it seems that I still have to practice diligently in the future. ”
The old man took another puff of dry tobacco, comfortably spit out a smoke ring, and looked indifferently at the scarred boulder opposite.
Chu Ming walked on the road in Chentang Village and didn't know what was happening behind him.
For some reason, he felt that there was something strange about this village.
The ground is paved with bluestone, with old buildings on both sides, and there is not even a single bicycle in the whole village, without any modern items.
If it weren't for the fact that he saw the people here wearing modern clothes, he even wondered if he had traveled back in time.
Chu Ming looked around at everyone, and everyone was also looking at him.
Seeing that strangers had come here, all the villagers of Chentang Village were amazed there.
"Look, an outsider has come in, has the phantom array at the entrance of the village failed?"
"I just checked this morning, and the phantom array has not failed, and the other party may also be a master in this area. ”
"What is this man doing here? Could it be that he is also here to run for the high priesthood?"
"I don't know, speaking of which, I have to ask, who do you think is most likely to become the High Priest?"
"I think Cao Lang is the most promising, his current strength has reached the Nine Rank Realm, and he is only one step away from entering the True Vein Realm. ”
"Bullshit, if Cao Lang's sand sculpture can be selected, I'll write the word Tian upside down. ”
"Shut up, Tian Daguang, you can't even beat Cao Lang with a finger, don't be sour here, okay?"
"What the hell is the matter with you? Who didn't lift their pants and showed you out?"
"You owe a beating, don't you?"
"Don't accept the battle!"
......
Chu Ming passed by ancient houses, and finally came to an open place.
It was once a school, but now the doors of the classrooms are locked, and some of the classrooms have even collapsed slightly.
By all indications, the school has been closed for a long time.
The empty campus was filled with tables and chairs, with a large ring in the middle, and war drums more than a man tall hanging on either side.
Before it was time to eat, there was no one here.
However, when Chu Ming saw such a stage construction, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What kind of village is this?
Could it be that when you eat, you can also watch the show of the ring?
Chu Ming chose the most marginal table and sat down, not paying attention to the situation in the ring.
Whatever happens next, it's none of your business.
After you have eaten and drunk enough, you will go straight away, and you will definitely not cause trouble.
Except, of course, if someone provokes themselves.
