Chapter 4: The Man in Black
Seventy or eighty kilometers is not far away, but it is not close to it.
Zhong Hou set off from the town and walked for most of the day, seeing that the sun was about to set, and there were still twenty or thirty kilometers away from Anyang City.
After thinking about it, if I don't speed up, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night in the suburbs tonight.
I touched the small amount of silver in my pocket again, even if I could get there, I might not be able to find Situ's family tonight. I heard that accommodation in the city is quite expensive, and I am afraid that this little money will save some money.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hou simply slowed down.
It may be that other pedestrians and business travelers also rushed into the city before sunset, and Zhong Hou was gradually left alone on the official road, making the originally lively road seem very deserted.
A gust of cold wind blew, making Zhong Hou, who was drenched in sweat all over his body, feel a chill.
He simply built a bonfire in the woods next to the official road, ready to spend the night here.
opened the baggage, took out the white steamed bun and a gourd of wine given by Uncle Zhou, and served dinner in front of the fire in the woods.
After a few bites, Zhong Hou only felt warm all over his body, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.
The sunset disappeared into the sky, the night gradually fell, and the bright moon hung in the air and slowly traced the trajectory.
The stars were shining, and Zhong Hou fell asleep in this romantic atmosphere.
The name of Uncle Zhou's wine is Drunken Hongchen, which means that he forgets the mortal dust of the world when he is drunk.
Zhong Hou began to get drunk at the age of six, and this habit was brought bad by Zhou Bo, a teacher and wine seller. However, he didn't know that all the drunken red dust he secretly drank was secretly added by Uncle Zhou.
There is no difference in the taste between the drunken red dust after adding the ingredients and the ordinary drunken red dust, so Zhong Hou has not found it for a long time. With Uncle Zhou's strength, it is even more impossible to be detected by Zhong Hou, a hairy boy, who secretly added some materials.
The drunken red dust after adding contains a variety of medicinal liquids made from a variety of precious medicinal materials, and the most important thing is that it is infused with Zhou Bo's star power.
This kind of drunken red dust has little effect on high-level cultivators, but for Zhong Hou, a rookie among the rookies in the cultivation world, it is a great supplement, just wait for a suitable opportunity, and the effect of drunken red dust will come into play.
At that time, Zhong Hou's cultivation speed will soar to the sky.
This is also the reason why Zhong Hou's figure and strength far surpass his peers.
Suddenly, a muffled snap woke up Zhong Hou in his sleep.
Rubbing his eyes, which were still a little foggy, Zhong Hou was almost not scared by the scene in front of him.
I saw a figure in front of me wrapped in black, lying straight in a pool of blood, fainting.
On top of that, there are almost no intact parts of this figure's body.
The black clothes seemed to have been cut by some sharp blade, but what was revealed inside was not the color of human skin, but the blood red of Senran.
The most shocking thing is the opening on the other party's back from the shoulder to the waist, the skin and flesh have been turned out, and the blood keeps oozing out.
If it weren't for the fact that the man in black cultivated to a high level and suppressed the injury with his strong star power, this wound alone would have killed him on the spot.
Zhong Hou has never learned first aid, and he can only use the most primitive method to save people.
As for whether or not people can be saved, they can only be left to fate.
Without further ado, Zhong Hou poured the drunken red dust in the gourd on top of the other party's wound and helped the other party disinfect.
Then he was ready to tear off his clothes and bandage the other party's wounds.
But when the drunken Hongchen fell, the man in black seemed to be stimulated, and stood up with a brush.
Zhong Hou was taken aback by the other party's actions, and hurriedly retreated a few steps.
When he saw that the man in black's eyes were full of murderous intent, his steps unconsciously retreated.
The man in black just glanced at Zhong Hou, and then quickly took a look at the surroundings. When he understood his situation, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"
Although the other party covered his face, Zhong Hou did not notice anything unusual in the other party's voice except for feeling indifference from the other party, as if he was not injured in the slightest.
In the face of this kind of person, Zhong Hou felt that it was better to keep his distance from the other party.
So he simply replied: "Soon." ”
The man in black didn't ask in detail how long 'soon' was, but said lightly: "Thank you." I never owe favors, and this secret to you should be useful to you. You'd better get out of here now, or you'll be in danger of your life. ”
After that, the man in black took out a small book out of nowhere, and after throwing it to Zhong Hou, he disappeared into the night in a flash.
Hearing the last sentence, Zhong Hou didn't have time to think about it, so he took the small book into his arms and left this place quickly.
Zhong Hou did not have any doubts about the words of the man in black, judging by the other party's injuries, nine times out of ten it was a vendetta. In case you are approached by the enemy of the other party, you don't have to think about it to know what the consequences will be.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for several figures to come to the place where Zhong Hou was just now.
Looking at the blood stains on the ground and the bonfire that had not been completely extinguished, the few people exchanged a few words quickly, and then disappeared into the night as well.
After experiencing this scene, Zhong Hou no longer felt sleepy.
I found a random spot, re-lit the bonfire, opened the small book left by the man in black, and began to read.
The book looks a bit dilapidated, and it should have been a bit old. There is nothing special on the cover, only the two quaint big characters of 'Changquan' are written.
Long fist?
Immediately, he remembered the man in black's parting words.
This is a secret book.
What is a secret?
Zhong Hou learned this word when he studied with Zhou Bo, and knew that there was a kind of book in this world that recorded some methods that could make people stronger, and this kind of book was called a secret book.
This discovery made Zhong Hou ecstatic, didn't he drowsiness immediately send a pillow.
I walked out of the small village in order to become stronger, and I could take revenge on my father in the future, what could be more timely than this secret book in front of me.
Although I don't know how far this secret book can be cultivated in the end, I have finally taken the first step.
It took a long time for Zhong Hou to calm down, reopen the secret book, and study it carefully.
Although Zhong Hou has never cultivated, he has been taught by Zhou Bo, a mysterious master, for a long time, and he can still understand the content of the secret book.
However, he was not in a hurry to cultivate immediately, there was no room for mistakes along the way to cultivation, and every step must be very cautious, otherwise not only would it not be effective, but it might even lead to bad training.
If you have a little bit of cultivation knowledge, you can immediately see that "Long Fist" is an acquired cultivation secret.
As the name suggests, it is a kind of secret that can be cultivated in the acquired stage.
The acquired cultivation secret is a comprehensive basic secret book, and there is no difference between exercises and martial arts. In the process of cultivation, being able to continuously broaden the meridians, strengthen the physical body, and have certain combat skills is the stage of laying the foundation before the innate nature.
The innate cultivation secret is a secret that can be cultivated in the innate stage, with a clear classification, the exercises can only improve the cultivation, the combat martial arts can only improve the combat skills and attack power, and the auxiliary martial arts can only improve various auxiliary skills, each of which belongs to a very professional section.
In the Star Continent, cultivators can be divided into acquired and innate cultivators. The acquired belongs to a realm, and the innate belongs to a range of collectives, in which multiple realms are also subdivided.
Congenital is an immortal who can fly to the sky and escape to the earth in the eyes of ordinary people.
They have a unified name, called Cultivators.
The world of cultivators is called the cultivation world.
In the eyes of innate cultivators, acquired cultivators can only be regarded as stronger mortals, and they are still no different from ants.
However, every cultivator climbs step by step from the day after tomorrow, so the foundation stage of the day after tomorrow is very important.
The merits of the acquired cultivation secrets determine the degree of solidity of the foundation at this stage.
If the foundation is not strong enough in the acquired stage, the future achievements are very limited. Conversely, the stronger the foundation, the higher the achievement.
