Cultivation - Chapter 17: Getting Stronger!
After Murong San jumped off the cliff, he fell into the river after being cushioned by several tree branches, and the pain made him faint and washed away with the river.
In a coma, Murong San dreamed of a scene where everyone was happy together, but as soon as the scene turned, Ellie's indifferent and evil expression appeared, and everyone disappeared, Murong San shouted loudly in his dream, and finally saw the scene of Ellie killing Ye Xin.
"Don't!"
Murong San woke up from a coma, sweating profusely and screaming in pain.
"Are you awake, are you having a nightmare?"
A light voice sounded, and a girl as big as Murong San was looking at Murong San with wide eyes, but the girl was actually wearing the clothes worn by ancient people.
Murong San calmed down, but he was still panting, looked around, and found that he was lying on the bed, a strange place, and the injuries on his body were also bandaged.
"Who are you? Where is this?"
Murong San looked at the girl suspiciously, but he was not worried, since he saved himself, it proved that the other party had no malicious intent.
The girl still looked at Murong San curiously, and said a little playfully.
"It was the villagers below the mountain who found you in the river and fished you out, but your injuries were too serious for them to save you. ”
The girl slapped her head suddenly.
"Ah, by the way, the master said that as soon as you wake up, let me go and tell him quickly, I forgot, master! ”
However, as soon as the girl finished shouting, a white-haired old man appeared behind her and slapped her on the back of the head.
"It's not big, it's not small, I just said I was crazy!"
The girl stuck out her tongue.
"Master, you heard me. ”
The old man has white hair and a white beard on his chin, even so, the whole person feels so tough, as if a hundred-year-old pine is standing there, and he looks a lot more energetic in a Tang suit.
Murong San looked at the old man, but he raised his vigilance, because he didn't notice how the old man got into the room.
The old man didn't care about the girl, and turned his head to look at Murong San.
"Boy, are you awake? It seems that you are recovering well, you don't need to be so vigilant, I have no ill will towards you. ”
As he spoke, he put on a harmless smile, but how ugly and ugly that smile was, not only did he not reassure Murong San, but he also wondered if this old man had any special hobbies.
Fortunately, the old man didn't know what Murong San was thinking, otherwise he would have to die of anger.
"Yue'er, you go out first, I have something to talk about with this little brother. ”
The girl named Yue'er puffed out her mouth a little unhappily, but she didn't dare to disobey the old man, so she answered and left.
At this time, the old man put away his smiling face and looked at Murong San with a serious face.
"Boy, you're an anomaly, and with such a serious injury, it seems that there was quite a fight. ”
Murong San was shocked, he didn't know how the old man could see it, and made preparations for battle.
"Boy, don't be too nervous, I said I had no ill intentions, I just found you by the river, which saved you, you don't have to worry too much, I'm not an ordinary person, I'm also a stranger, but a martial artist, this is the temple I opened." ”
When Murong San heard the old man say that he was a martial artist, he put his mind at ease, too, if he wanted to kill himself, why should he heal himself.
"I'm sorry, a lot has happened, I'm a little too vigilant, I hope to bear with me, thank you seniors for saving your life, just ask seniors, where is this? How long have I been in a coma?"
The old man touched his beard.
"This is the border of Huaxia Kingdom, located in the westernmost part of Huaxia Kingdom, I don't know how long you have been in a coma, anyway, since I rescued you, you have been sleeping for a full month. ”
"What! a month! Oops, no, I need to get out of here. ”
Murong San was shocked when he heard that he had been sleeping for a month, he didn't know what happened to Ye Xiao and them, so he was about to get up, but he couldn't move because of the pain in his body.
"I advise you to lie down, your wounds are not healed, and I know what you are thinking, don't worry, as far as I know, those companions of yours, although they have encountered some trouble, have escaped, and besides, it has been a month, and it is useless for you to go now. ”
Murong San was even more surprised.
"Do you know where I'm from, who are you, where are my buddies?"
The old man was still touching his beard, but his eyes were sad and he sighed.
"I'm ashamed to say it, in fact, some old guys and I have already found out not far away, there is a secret laboratory that often catches some children with strange abilities, but there are many involved in it, we couldn't make a move for a while, until a month ago, when we discussed it and were ready to rescue those children, we learned that there was a battle in the direction of the laboratory, so we rushed over, who knew that it was still a step slow, and when we arrived, alas, the laboratory had disappeared, empty, and on the way back, the villagers saved you, I guessed that you were one of those children, which saved you, it seems that my guess is right, can you tell me what happened?”
Murong San also recalled, and the whole person was very sad, and told the old man what happened.
"What a lawlessness! I didn't expect WAOP to be like this now. ”
The old man patted the side of the bed and said angrily.
Murong San looked at the old man expectantly.
"You just said you know where my other buddies are? Can you tell me?"
Who knew that the old man refused in one mouthful.
Murong San was puzzled and asked eagerly.
"Why?"
The old man looked at Murong San deeply.
"What about telling you? You can't do anything with your current strength, I think you already know the gap when you fight with the WAOP Holy Maiden, although the Holy Maiden is not weak in the first place, she is a candidate for the future Five Venerables, but there are many people who are stronger than her, you can't even beat her, what can you do?"
"But ......"
The old man waved his hand and interrupted Murong San.
"I know you're worried about your companions, you should know that the three forces of WAOP, they are now on the neutral side where I am, where are the strong people protecting them, it's safe, instead of worrying about them, you better heal your injuries first and slowly become stronger! I think, you don't want to fail again, I can promise you, as long as you complete the cultivation I gave you, I will tell you where they are. ”
Murong San remembered the powerlessness and despair he felt when he fought with Ellie, clenched his fists, and stared into the old man's eyes.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
The old man touched his beard and laughed.
"Okay, then I'm looking forward to your performance after you recover from your injury. ”
With that, he got up and left.
"I still don't know the old man, your family name?"
"Hahaha, it's just an old man, thanks to the love of everyone in the martial arts world, I am honored as a god fist Zhang Feng. ”
With that, he vanished.
Murong San clenched his fists and vowed to become strong.
