Chapter 3: The Tomb of the Water God
"Ah, who are you? You, when did you get in, how did you get in? Yun Fei looked at the old man with wide eyes, and he couldn't even believe his eyes.
"Of course I walked in, but the speed is a little fast, and the movement is a little smaller, of course you can't find it, little guy," the old man said as he looked at Yun Fei playfully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You old guy, you don't knock on the door when you enter other people's rooms, and you are so proud, it's really disrespectful to the old,"
Yun Fei thought so in his heart, but said on his lips: "Senior, in this broad daylight, what are you doing quietly when you come in?" ā
The old man stroked the white beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Let me guess, you must be scolding me in my heart now that I don't know how to be polite, you should knock on the door before entering the door, am I right?" ā
"Can you guess that? What an old monster,"
Yun Fei said with some embarrassment: "Eh, this, senior, I ......"
"Okay, you little fellow, look at you so funny, I'm joking with you," the old man waved his hand, interrupting Yunfei.
Yun Fei hurriedly exhaled a breath, feeling much more relaxed.
"Tell me, little one, where are you from?" The old man asked.
Yun Fei sighed and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, I lost my memory as soon as I woke up, but I still remember my name, hehe,"
There was a sense of helplessness in this laughter.
The old man asked curiously, "Oh? Where did you wake up? ā
"On that high hill outside the city,"
"On the mountain outside the city, that is Cuiyun Peak," the old man frowned and pondered, and suddenly, the old man's eyes lit up, he looked at Yun Fei, and said, "You said you woke up in the tomb of the water god on the mountain?" ā
"The Tomb of the Water God? What is the tomb of the god of water? Yun Fei exclaimed.
The old man looked at Yun Fei, the light in his eyes dimmed again, and he muttered in a low voice: "Alas, it's another fake water god tomb,"
The tone was filled with endless disappointment.
"The Tomb of the God of Water, what is the Tomb of the God of Water, the tomb, hiss, is it, the place where I woke up is a burial chamber?"
Thinking of this, Yun Fei couldn't help but gasp.
"No wonder, that guy stuffed the black donkey's hooves into my mouth, it turned out that he used me as a dumpling, which made me nauseous for a long time,"
At this time, the two of them were bowing their heads and contemplating, each with their own thoughts.
After a while, the old man asked, "Yunfei, can't you really think of anything?" ā
"I really can't remember, what's wrong, senior?" Yunfei asked.
"This old man cares so much about me, maybe he knows a little clue about my past,"
Yun Fei was about to open his mouth to ask again, when he suddenly heard the old man say: "Although it is a fake water god tomb, why is it you in the tomb?" ā
After that, the old man's pair of bright eyes stared at Yun Fei, making Yun Fei feel very uncomfortable.
"Huh?" The old man frowned, and said: "There is an unusually powerful true qi in your body, but this true qi is forcibly transported into your body by others, and when it comes to a moment of crisis, it will be difficult to save your life, if you want to completely refine it and turn it into your own true qi, it will be as difficult as ascending to the sky,"
"Why?" Yun Fei asked.
This mysterious and powerful true qi, when he saved himself from danger several times, Yun Fei had long wanted to refine it, but at this moment, after listening to the old man's words, he couldn't help but feel a little deflated.
The old man said slowly: "Because you are the coexistence of the two attributes of water and fire,"
"It's because of this again," Yun Fei gritted his teeth angrily.
The old man didn't seem to see Yun Fei's anger, and said to himself: "As far as I know, in this Jiuzhou world, there are still many people who have both attributes, but there are people who have both water and fire attributes, that is unique, you are the first and only person like this in the Jiuzhou world,"
"What?" Yunfei was shocked.
"As the saying goes, water and fire are incompatible, you can neither cultivate water attribute martial arts, nor can you cultivate fire attribute martial arts, the two restrain each other, and you can't cultivate true qi in your life,"
"What, I ......"
Yunfei is completely stupid, what is the difference between his current self and a wasted person?
"However, there are no absolutes, there is always a way,"
"What's the solution?" Yun Fei asked with his eyes shining.
"Well, there is no way, there will be no one for the time being, there will definitely be one in the future,"
Yunfei sighed in disappointment, this old guy, it's okay to make fun of yourself.
The old man smiled and said, "But I came to you today for another thing,"
"What's the matter?" Yun Fei asked weakly.
"First, I see your personality has an appetite for me, and second, I see that your root bones are a good material for practicing external skills, although it is difficult for you to achieve success in internal skills, but as long as you practice external skills well, it is easy to defeat those who practice internal skills,"
"Really?" Yunfei asked impatiently.
"Of course it's true, everything in the world must have a reason for its existence, as long as you don't give up on yourself, then there is hope for everything,"
"As long as you don't give up, there is hope for everything," Yun Fei thought about this sentence carefully, only to feel that his heart was full of infinite power.
"No, I have no relationship with this old guy for no reason, why did he come to me and say this to me, isn't it an ulterior motive?" The more Yun Fei thought about it, the more bizarre he felt.
"I know you must be wondering by now why I came to you,"
The old man said that Yunfei was on his mind, which made Yunfei look a little embarrassed.
"I'm old, I don't have time to do some things, and the only hope now is to take in a good apprentice and inherit my mantle, if one day I'm gone, the apprentice will do it, you know?"
"You want to take me as an apprentice?" Yun Fei asked, pointing at himself.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, since you came, I have begun to notice you, your roots and bones are very much in line with my requirements,"
"And what do you want me to do? Killing people and setting fires is against morality, and I will never do it," Yunfei said firmly.
The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you do bad things, as for what it is, when the time is ripe in the future, I will naturally tell you,"
"That's fine, anyway, they don't want to see me, it's better to follow this old gentleman, and learn some real skills,"
Yun Fei figured this out in his heart, and a new question popped up again: "Then who are?" ā
The old man smiled and said, "I am the ancestor of the Peacock Knife, and Kong Tianmi is my apprentice grandson,"
"What?"
Yun Fei's face was full of surprise.
"What, you kid, you still don't apprentice?" The old man scolded with a smile.
"Apprentice to meet the master," Yunfei regained his composure and fell to the ground.
"Well, well, get up," the old man said with a smile on his face, "You tell me in detail how you woke up and how you went down the mountain."
After Yun Fei finished speaking, the Peacock Ancestor sneered and said: "Hmph, everyone in the world covets the Water God Tomb, but the people of the Meteor Sword completely ignore the laws of the country and the morality of the rivers and lakes, and hire tomb robbers without permission, hmph, with this handle, I see how arrogant you will be in the future with the Meteor Sword,"
"Master, it's really shameful for the Meteor Sword to do this kind of grave-digging thing, but what does he have to do with our Peacock Knife?" Yunfei asked.
"It's just some battles in the rivers and lakes, I'll tell you about these later, from now on, you don't have to follow them every day, you are my apprentice, you only obey me here, even if it's Kong Tianmi, you can't order you, this is some basic common sense about martial arts cultivation, you take it and see it, I'll come back tomorrow,"
As he spoke, the old man took out a yellowed book from his arms and threw it to Yun Fei, who looked at it and felt a breath of vicissitudes rushing to his face.
"Master, huh? Someone else? ā
Yun Fei looked up and saw that the Peacock Ancestor had already left at some point.
"It's really a dragon that doesn't see the end of the head,"
Yun Fei began to read the book seriously, and it looked like a whole day, and in the middle of this, no one really bothered Yun Fei.
According to the book, in the world of Jiuzhou, the cultivation of martial artists is divided into internal and external, internal cultivation, mainly meditation and refining qi, and external cultivation is refining the body, and whether it is external cultivation or internal cultivation, the strength realm is the same, from low to high, it is one to nine grades, each grade, and it is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, and the Mahayana period.
Internal cultivation is a common cultivation method nowadays, but internal cultivation must pass the qualification test, if the body does not have relevant attributes, internal cultivation cannot be carried out, and in the case of the coexistence of water and fire attributes like Yunfei, internal cultivation cannot be carried out.
External cultivators, on the other hand, do not need to test their qualifications, and everyone can cultivate, however, the path of external cultivation is too painful and difficult, and the failure rate of advancing to breakthrough is very high, so compared to internal cultivators, there are fewer external cultivators.
"No matter how much it costs, I will also cultivate, and I will definitely not miss this opportunity,"
Yun Fei clenched his fists, his eyes unwavering.
That night, Yunfei had dinner and went to bed early.
ā¦ā¦
At dawn.
"Hmm, what's that?"
"Ah, master, you came so early,"
Yun Fei thought he was asleep just now, and he rubbed his eyes hard, only then did he see clearly that the Peacock Ancestor was already sitting at the table, and Yun Fei hurriedly got up.
"Master, why did you come before dawn?" Yun Fei asked after getting dressed.
The Peacock Ancestor said with a serious expression: "From today onwards, every day before the sun comes out, you have to complete the homework of running ten laps around the city, this is the foundation, exercise your endurance, the road of external cultivation is hard and difficult, so, the foundation, you must lay a good foundation, in the next year, you will not be exposed to anything in martial arts, all you have to do is to continue to strengthen your physical fitness, continue to break through your physical limits, now there are still two hours before the sun rises, you better hurry, otherwise there will be no breakfast today,"
"Ah,"
Yun Fei had a bitter face and wanted to ask for mercy, but the cold face of the ancestor made him immediately dispel this thought, so he didn't bother to wash, turned around and rushed out of the room, and ran all the way out of the Peacock Knife Mansion.
There was no one on the streets of Wuzhou City, and the moon was still hanging in the sky, Yunfei knew that what the master said was not a joke, so he ran forward as fast as he could.
After running for a while, his speed slowed down significantly, and he gasped for air in his mouth.
"Hoo, hold, hold, call,"
"This is just the beginning, I must persevere, for myself, for the master, ah,"
Yun Fei let out a loud shout, gritted his teeth and ran forward.
The sweat had already wet his clothes, his legs were getting heavier and heavier, and his mouth was getting drier and drier, and there were many times when Yun Fei almost gave up.
"Can't give up, Yunfei, you can't give up, come on,"
Gritted his teeth and ran again.
