Chapter 13 Difficult Decisions
At noon, there is not a single wind in the air, and although it is only the early summer sun, it also makes the person who is exposed to it feel very harsh and stuffy.
At this time, in the small courtyard of the Mu family, Nanxing was panting and squatting under a tree next to the gate of the courtyard, constantly fanning himself with his sleeves, and the clothes on his chest and back had clear sweat stains, obviously standing in the sun for a long time before hiding to take advantage of the cool.
Looking at Mu Yang, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, Nanxing's face showed a look of surprise.
Since the sun rose, Mu Yang sat cross-legged in this courtyard, and except for a slight pause during breakfast on the way, he had been maintaining this cultivation movement.
And after such a long time of scorching sun, Muyang didn't even shed a drop of sweat all over his body, and even his face never changed, and he still maintained his initial state. This made Nanxing, who didn't know what to do, extremely puzzling, and he didn't understand why Mu Yang's body improved to such a level far beyond ordinary people.
Since successfully cultivating the Nine Yang Jue, Mu Yang's spirit has become extremely good, and if he doesn't seal it, he only needs to rest for two hours a day. With the Jiuyang Yuan Qi in his body, his body is no longer afraid of the cold, and he also has a certain immunity to high temperatures, and the current temperature is as cool and comfortable for him as if he was staying in an air-conditioned room in his previous life.
After another exercise, Mu Yang opened his eyes and took a long breath, feeling the mist Jiuyang Yuan Qi that was steadily growing in the meridians, and he grinned happily slightly.
Ever since he successfully broke through to an ancient martial artist and tasted the various benefits that Yuan Qi brought to his body, Muyang was out of control on the path of cultivation.
From the initial stage of the air-induced mirror to the middle level of the air-induced mirror, it is necessary to condense two thousand filaments of mist-like vitality in the meridians, and in the same way, the intermediate to high-level also need to condense two thousand filaments, until the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine filaments of vitality are condensed, which is the peak of the great consummation of the air-induced mirror.
In order to reach the middle level of the air induction mirror as soon as possible and further improve his cultivation, he made up his mind to abandon the cultivation of forgetting sleep and food, and Muyang also found that if he used the Linzi Seal to dredge the meridians while condensing the Jiuyang Yuan Qi, then the speed of condensation would be two or three times faster, which also made him discover another effect of the Linzi Seal - to speed up the speed of cultivation. However, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses if he has to rest for so long after each seal, so in order to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, he temporarily put down the Linzi seal that dredged the meridians, and instead went all out to cultivate and condense the Jiuyang vitality.
It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
When he was cultivating with all his might, Mu Yang found that he could run nine Zhou Tian in one hour, that is, he could condense the Nine Silks of Jiuyang True Qi, and after cultivating for two hours, he found that the Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian in his body was a little painful, and it seemed that he could no longer bear the condensation of vitality again.
After Mu Yang, who did not believe in evil, forcibly ran the Jiuyang Jue again, he tragically found that not only could not condense a trace of Jiuyang vitality, but even his meridians were traumatized, and he only recovered after finishing the word seal once.
For this reason, Mu Yang also specially ran to ask Mu Tianhong, but unfortunately Mu Tianhong was limited by his exercises and qualifications, he could only run one week per hour, and even if he practiced with all his strength, he could only condense three or four threads of vitality every day, and then he would feel very tired, so he had never encountered Mu Yang's situation at all, and he couldn't say why.
The only difference with Mu Yang is that Mu Tianhong's body has two meridians that can accommodate vitality, and the vitality he cultivates is not all stored in one meridian, when he cultivates a trace of vitality in one meridian, then the next trace of vitality will definitely appear in another meridian, which is not under his control.
So Mu Tianhong guessed that it might be because each meridian in the ancient warrior's body could only carry up to eighteen filaments of vitality every day, so there would be a situation like Mu Yang.
In desperation, Mu Yang stopped cultivating every day after condensing eighteen traces of vitality, and continued to dredge the meridians in his body for the rest of the time.
Seeing Mu Yang, who was standing up and moving his muscles and bones and trimming a little, Nanxing, who was enjoying the shade under the tree, walked over in time and handed over the tea and snacks that had been prepared.
At this time, Mu Yang, who had greatly increased his ear, suddenly heard a hurried footsteps and was rushing towards his small courtyard.
With a "squeak", the gate of the courtyard was quickly pushed open, and several people poured in in the small courtyard at once.
"Grandpa, Daddy, Mother, Oh, and Grandma, why are you all here? Why are everyone's faces so ugly, is something going on?"
Mu Yang looked at Mu Tianhong and the others with some doubts. Immediately, Mu Tianhong told Mu Yang everything he had seen and heard today and his speculations.
As soon as he heard this, Mu Yang was extremely surprised, he couldn't accept how the villages and towns that had always been indisputable with the world could suffer this unwarranted disaster for no reason.
With Muyang's insight alone, he naturally didn't think of any better way to deal with it, and finally just said loudly: "Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, no matter what happens, Yang'er will advance and retreat with you!"
Mu Tianhong raised his hand and touched Mu Yang's head, his eyes were full of doting: "Grandpa knows that Yang'er is a good boy, but you don't need to worry too much." Your grandfather has already rushed back to Linjia Village to persuade the villagers to agree to the relocation of the village, and Brother Jianbai is also arranging this matter, but Grandpa is not too sure about the thoughts of the rest of the village chiefs. But at present, this is just grandpa's speculation, and maybe things won't get that bad. We came to you this time just in case, we need Yang'er to promise you one thing. ”
"Grandpa said that it doesn't matter, no matter what, as long as Yang'er can do it, he will try his best to complete it. ”
"Hahaha, yes! Remember, the husband has to do what he says. The thing that grandpa wants you to agree to is that if things are really as grandpa speculated, to the point of no return, Yang'er, you should flee here immediately, escape as far away as possible, and leave a legacy and a hope for my Mu family. ”
Mu Tianhong bent down slightly, stared at Mu Yang's eyes tightly, squeezed his shoulders with both hands, and his words were full of unquestionable tone.
"What?!! I don't ......"
When Mu Yang heard this, he instinctively wanted to refuse, but Mu Mingli on the side took the first step and interrupted him with a wave of his big hand.
"Yang'er, you don't need to say much, this is our decision for all of us, you just need to agree!"
"Your dad is right. Also, Grandma has put all the valuables, money, and secrets of the Pure Heart Recipe in the house, and you have to put them away carefully in case you need them in the future. Shen Yi also stepped forward and stuffed a package into Muyang's arms.
"Yang'er has grown up, you have to be obedient, and my mother believes that you will definitely take care of yourself in the future. Is that right?" Lin Wanrou held Muyang's hand and whispered with red eyes.
"Mother......
Looking at his mother, who had always doted on him, Mu Yang's voice choked. He couldn't help but shout, "Why? Why can't we all walk together!!?"
"The matter is settled, and there is no need to say anything more. In the next few days, I will retreat and refine the medicine, in order to save the ancient warrior as soon as possible, so that I can get more information about the enemy from him, and no one will come to disturb him during this period, and everyone will do their own thing as originally agreed. ”
After Mu Tianhong finished speaking, he patted Mu Yang's shoulder heavily, then turned around and walked towards the medicine house without looking back, while the others took a deep look at Mu Yang and left.
In fact, Mu Tianhong and others also wanted to accompany Mu Yang and take care of him growing up. But now that this decision is made, firstly, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and secondly, once the enemy comes, these ancient warriors in the villages and towns must bear the brunt of the attack, and they need to face the enemy head-on, and there is no possibility of selfish escape.
Only the fact that Muyang became an ancient warrior was not known to outsiders, so there was no need to participate in this battle with a very small chance of winning. What's more, if it really comes to the point where it can't be violated, these people are the last line of defense to buy time for Muyang to escape.
Mu Yang, who still couldn't understand the painstaking efforts of his family, clutched the package in his arms, stood in the courtyard stupidly for a long time, and finally walked into the room with a blue face, slammed the door shut, and no sound came out. Seeing this, Nanxing, who was with him, didn't dare to follow, and suddenly stayed in the courtyard at a loss and didn't know what to do.
At the same time, about ten miles away from the village and town, there is a deep valley shrouded in thick fog all year round, the bottom of the valley is dark and damp, no one has ever set foot here, and there are many snakes and insects entrenched here.
Outside a dark cave on the cliff face, there was a giant python corpse nearly thirty meters long, thicker than the waists of three adults combined.
This giant python is the existence that belongs to the overlord of the valley, and its strength is comparable to the first-order low-grade desolate beast frost poison python of the mid-level ancient martial artist of the air-inducing mirror.
The corpse of the frost python was perverted a huge wolf-like beast with pitch-black fur.
The wolf beast had several bloody wounds on its legs, blood dripping down its hair, and as soon as it touched the ground, the flowers and plants withered, the soil was charred black, and a puff of green smoke came out, apparently the blood was highly poisonous.
The wolf beast opened its mouth wide and bit the head of the frost python, and let out a cheerful whimper similar to that of eating, while the frost python's body slowly dried up strangely.
When the wolf beast finished eating, the whole frost python was only a skin wrapped in bones. Then it pulled the frost python into the cave behind it.
After an hour or so, there was a sudden and eerie low laugh from the dark cave where the fingers could not be reached, and then the wolf beast jumped out of the cave first.
Immediately followed by the dead frost python, its body was still flattened, crawling forward in an extremely strange posture, sizzling snake letters, and following the wolf beast towards the snakes, insects, and ant beasts that were fleeing in a panic in the distance.
