Chapter 21: The Fire Cultivator
After this bloody battle, He Xiu learned from Xiao Daoren's mouth that he had broken through the third stage of the Xuanzhi, that is to say, he was now in the fourth stage of the Xuanzhi.
On the way back, He Xiu silently recited the mantra he got from Xiao Daoren's mouth in his heart, and remembered it in his heart.
The main purpose of his coming this time was to kill the cubs, who thought that the cubs didn't see them, and they were almost eaten by their kind, and they were afraid that they would not be able to explain to the old man Zhu after they went back, so they carried the front legs of a double spirit leopard and walked back, He Xiu secretly hoped that the old man Zhu would not embarrass himself.
When I went back, it was almost late at night, and the old man sat next to the firewood, his little thumb clasped his teeth, and said wryly, "Hehe, brought it?"
He Xiu threw the front legs of the double spirit leopard to the ground, also sat cross-legged next to the firewood, and said, "The cub has not been found, kill an adult spirit leopard, you will eat it." ”
The old man put up the front legs of the spirit leopard, turned them over and said, "Take them off!"
He Xiu touched the wound on his head and pretended not to know anything; Miscellaneous... What?"
The old man frowned and teased, "Hehe, you kid forgot it very quickly, who said that if you can't catch the cubs, you will strip Lao Tzu naked as a mount?"
He Xiu complained to him, "Hey, old man Zhu, I almost lost my life in order to improve your food, and now I haven't finished eating a mouthful of food, you have eaten a leg, and I haven't caught anything." ”
"Hmph, shake your head silly boy, how did you break through the third stage of the Xuanzhi?" asked the old man Zhu with one hand on his chin, his two small eyes squinting and blinking.
"Hey, hey. He Xiu smirked, "Old man Zhu, I really can't hide anything from you, in fact, I don't know how to break through, and I don't even feel any precursors, hehe, I really thank Xiao Daoren for speaking of it." The corners of He Xiu's mouth flashed with pride, and he said embarrassedly.
"Hmph, shake your head silly boy, do you know that you are cultivating the kind of system that belongs to metaphysics?" said the old man Zhu lightly.
"Tricks? What tricks? Are you saying that metaphysics is equivalent to tricks?" He Xiu's eyes were already wide, but now they were more and more like apples.
"Play your head," the old man picked up a thin piece of wood and knocked on He Xiu's head; "Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five most concentrated methods in metaphysics, and they can also be called five kinds of exercises, do you know it?"
He Xiu thought about the red flame that was born in the cave today, and suddenly realized, "Old man Zhu, are you saying that I am a mystic who belongs to the fire line?" Then he thought of the skill Xiao Daoren used when he killed him; "Could it be that Xiao Daoren belongs to the mystic of the wood line?"
"Count you kid smart, how about it, isn't the taste of the willow whip very comfortable?" said the old man Zhu, staring at the wound on He Xiu's body.
He Xiu touched the wound, "Hehe, it's really uncomfortable, old man bamboo, since Xiao Daoren and I are two different genera of mysteries, then how can I also use the mantra he uses to control the skills of the wood system?"
The old man sprinkled the spices on the front leg of the spirit leopard and said leisurely, "Because the five methods of metaphysics have been mutually reinforcing since ancient times, of course, the mantra for controlling skills, which can also be called spells, can also be used with each other. ”
He Xiu was stunned for a moment, "How did the skills and spells come from?"
The old man pointed to the front leg of the spirit leopard and said, "I fought it myself!"
He Xiu pondered this sentence carefully, "Are you saying that each skill is developed and created by itself according to the stage it is in, and so are the spells?"
The old man Zhu gnawed on the front hooves of the spirit leopard and said slowly, "The practice of metaphysics is broad and profound, mysterious, and unpredictable. Skills can be created by themselves, spells can also be original, the most important thing is to be able to integrate the body, mind and weapons, in order to have strong combat effectiveness, shake your head silly boy, can you understand what Lao Tzu said?"
He Xiu's mind filtered the words of the old man Zhu little by little, and then said, "Then on the other hand, spells and skills are also ready-made?"
The old man got up and patted his bulging belly, burped and said, "Hehe, shake your head silly boy, your comprehension is not bad, okay, Lao Tzu is going to Xiaojie and carry Lao Tzu over." ”
He Xiu hurriedly took a step back, "Hey, old man Zhu, you don't really think of me as a mount, do you?" Besides, you didn't solve it on the spot that time, why did you want to go somewhere else today." ”
"Hey, Lao Tzu has a book on him, which records ready-made Xuangong cultivation skills and spells, it seems that it is useless now, it is better to order it for heating." As he spoke, the old man took out a yellowed book from his bosom and prepared to throw it into the fire.
At this time, He Xiu had already stripped naked, bowed down and waited, "Old man Zhu, you just want to go to the streets of Qiman Town to relieve yourself, and I will carry you on my back... Wait a minute, I remembered, I used Xiao Daoren's spell today, which means that he is now in the fourth stage of the Xuan Sect like me?"
"Wowhaha, shake your head silly boy, that's your business, hurry up, Lao Tzu can't hold it anymore. The old man jumped on He Xiu's back and knocked on his head and said.
At night, the old man Zhu had already fallen asleep, and He Xiu was injured by Xiao Daoren's skills today, and he had to wait for a while to recover, so he only fell asleep after carefully bandaging the wound.
After knowing that he had the skills, He Xiu got up early in the morning and started practicing.
He Xiu spread out his left hand, reciting a familiar spell in his mouth, a red fireball the size of a steamed bun appeared in his hand, he looked at the illusory fireball in his palm, pinched his thigh with his right hand, and confirmed that he was not dreaming, his heart was extremely pleasant, the only fly in the ointment was that he could not fly as freely as Xiao Daoren.
He Xiu recited the spell he got from the old man Zhu, and the fireball automatically disappeared in his palm, he frowned, leaning on a tombstone, thinking about how to break through the way to fly freely.
The endless grave entered his sea of thoughts.
"There you go. ”
He Xiu muttered to himself, then picked up a tombstone, stood on the grave, and jumped to another grave, just like that, the graves on the hidden mountain were jumped by He Xiu, he was not satisfied, and then increased the difficulty for himself, jumping two graves at a time, and gradually felt that he could jump over three graves, and then jumped over the fifth grave.
At noon, the old man woke up and sat on a tombstone with a relieved smile on his face.
When He Xiu jumped over the tenth grave with the tombstone on his back, he felt powerless, and he calculated in his heart that if each grave was one meter apart, he would now be able to jump as much as ten meters.
He Xiu was very happy in his heart, although he was not at Xiao Daoren's level, he was also very satisfied.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, He Xiu was so happy in his heart that he didn't feel tired and hungry at all, and after a hasty sip of fresh water, he picked up the tombstone and jumped on the grave.
At night, He Xiu felt unprecedented muscle hunger, found the hare from the net, and after sharing food with the old man bamboo, he picked up the tombstone and jumped up on the grave.
I didn't fall asleep until I was tired.
When the rooster crowed, He Xiu tied the water bag to his waist, carried the tombstone and began to train and jump.
Eight minutes earlier, He Xiu had already been able to cross fifteen graves, and his face couldn't help showing joy.
After putting the tombstone down and resting for a while, he had another idea in his heart, and began to jump on the various tombstones on his back.
Or jump one by one according to the previous method, until you can jump over eleven tombstones, referring to the last algorithm, each tombstone is about one and a half meters apart, and you have been able to jump as much as 16 meters.
When He Xiu jumped on the thirteenth tombstone, he found that he was stepping on a yellowed book, and hurriedly jumped down, and saw the words 'Xuangong Technique Complete Book' written on the book cover, so he hurried to look for the old man Zhu, but the entire hiding mountain was almost all over by himself and there was no trace of him.
He Xiu knew the temper of the old man Zhu, so he didn't look any further, but sat cross-legged in place, turned the pages of the book, and when he turned the third page, he saw the skills and spells used by Xiao Daoren, so he turned to the fourth page, and a clip fell down.
He Xiu felt as if he was about to lose something, so he quickly took it in his hand and looked at it, and what he saw was the farewell words of the old man Zhu and himself.
He Xiu's eyes couldn't help but shed tears, and he looked at the old man Zhu in a daze, leaving words, and couldn't let go for a long time.
After sorting out his mood, He Xiu put the book and the message into his arms, stood on a tombstone, and shouted, "Old man Zhu! Don't worry! I will always remember your entrustment! Please don't forget me! Also! My name is He Xiu! My name is He Xiu! My name is He Xiu... Woooooo
The whole mountain echoed with He Xiu's words, and the aftermath could not be dispersed for a long time, He Xiu wrapped his head in the placket of his clothes and said to himself, "Old man Zhu, if I meet you next time, I must knock your head full of pimples, consume your beard for you, and strip off your clothes, so that you can never see people again, and see how you run... Woooooo
On the top of the hiding mountain, between the two graves, a pile of firewood was lit, and next to the firewood sat an ordinary teenager who could not be more ordinary.
The light of the firewood reflected in the young man's big eyes, and the young man thought back to the people with whom he had become close to him.
His grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, Anu, shopkeeper, shopkeeper, and old man bamboo, these eight people are the closest people to this young man in the past sixteen years, and they have left one after another in his world.
The boy didn't know how big his heart was, but each of the eight people was locked in his heart.
The old man Zhu's farewell made He Xiu's heartache once again exposed, and this night was destined to be lonely.
He Xiu thought back to the time he spent with Old Man Zhu, one would cry, one would laugh, one would cry and laugh, and the other would laugh and cry.
He bought all the six copper plates on his body, and drank them one by one, following the example of the old man bamboo.
It is said that drunk people hallucinate, He Xiu said to the place where the old man Zhu once sit, "Hehe, bamboo... Old... Head, you're not going to... Eat a double puff leopard... of cubs... I'm now... I'll give it to you... Kill it and let you old man... Son under the wine... You said... Isn't that good?"
“.. That's right... Forgot to tell... You, I... There is also a brother... Brother, he... It's called Anu, and he's too... Saved by you, you forgot... Is it... Ha ha... Well... And also... You're not... Say I have peaches... Flower luck... I'll tell you today, the Guan family... The eldest lady of the Guan family... She... She likes me... Huh..."
He Xiu, who had never been drunk, woke up at nine o'clock in the morning, he rubbed his temples with his hands and said casually, "Old man bamboo, eat ...... today"
He Xiu thought about the old man's instructions to him, cleaned up the pain in his heart, simply ate the pheasant wings left over from last night, and began to jump on the grave with the tombstone on his back, and when he felt that he was about to warm up, he began to jump on the tombstone until he was able to jump to a distance of fifty meters, and he was very proud of his current results.
The distance of the long jump has been almost practiced, and He Xiu has changed another method, he takes the method of standing on the grave, jumping over the two tombstones, jumping on the fourth grave, and practicing his bounce height according to this method.
