Chapter 13: Into the City
After a day of traveling, they found a place to rest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Su Tongsheng took this opportunity to adjust, and the starlight on his palm was much richer than a few days ago, because he lit up another star a few days ago.
The lighting of this second star made Su Tongsheng a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be so easy, it was only then that he realized how powerful the legacy left by the woman in the sea of consciousness was, and he even had a hunch that if his physical strength could be a little stronger, it would be easy to light up the third star.
Su Tongsheng had been focusing on the star before, so even if he got the practice of refining the body, he didn't put too much thought into refining the body, and now this matter of refining the body must be put on the agenda.
The yin and yang body is to quench the body with the yin fire and yang fire in the body, and the pain in this process is naturally unimaginable, and this pain from the inside out is more than the pain caused by the outside.
Su Tongsheng originally thought that he was a strong-willed person, he had suffered many blows, mental, physical, but in the end he survived, he believed that he could definitely endure the burning of yin and yang fire, but when he really attracted the yang fire in his body, he still gasped.
The sudden pain made him snort and almost scream, but he finally gritted his teeth and survived, but the sweat stains on his body showed that he was not very easy. When the yang fire passed and the yin fire came up, Su Tongsheng couldn't hold back anymore and screamed directly.
"Tongsheng, are you okay?" Su Chen's voice sounded.
"It's fine." Su Tongsheng hurriedly said.
"Call me if there's anything." Su Chen did not doubt him.
"I'll call you if there's something."
"Okay, I'll stop bothering you." Hearing the sound of Su Chen leaving, Su Tongsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The cultivation of this yin and yang body was really painful, Su Tongsheng didn't know if he could hold on, he thought about what could be done to alleviate this pain.
When night fell, Su Tongsheng watched the people of the Su family outside the tent set up a bonfire, and there was a "crackling" sound from time to time in the bonfire, and a few birds could be faintly seen in the distance. In the silence of the night, the sounds were harsh, but even more enduring was the sound of a river flowing in the distance.
Su Tongsheng's eyes lit up and he thought of an idea, if he cultivated the Yin and Yang Body in the water, would it alleviate the pain of burning? Thinking of this, Su Tongsheng couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately got up and secretly left the tent and came to the nearby river.
Su Tongsheng took off his clothes and jumped into the river, and then began to cultivate the Yin and Yang Body. The river water at night was cold and biting, and Su Tongsheng, who had just jumped down, shivered, but as his cultivation began, his body began to warm, and finally the blood of his entire body began to boil.
The icy river water wrapped Su Tongsheng's body, which did relieve his pain to a certain extent. Su Tongsheng was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that this method was indeed effective.
I don't know how long it took, Su Tongsheng knew that the Yang Fire Refining Stage was about to pass, and the following was the Yin Fire Refining Stage. The previous time was interrupted because it was too painful, so he didn't know what the Yin Fire Refining would be.
When the yin fire appeared this time, Su Tongsheng didn't feel as painful as last time, which couldn't help but make him feel relieved. But the subsequent process made Su Tongsheng feel uncomfortable, this yin fire is said to be fire but it is not like fire, it does not have the scorching heat of fire, but the cold of ice. After just a while, Su Tongsheng jumped out of the water and escaped, he was afraid that if he didn't come out, he would freeze to death.
After getting dressed, Su Tongsheng planned to leave, he wanted to go back and think about the changes in the middle. Suddenly, he paused in his steps, and he vaguely saw a man lying by the river not far away. Su Tongsheng approached cautiously, and when he looked closely, there was indeed a person lying there.
Su Tongsheng approached and probed his snort, and there was still a breath. Without much hesitation, he directly picked up the man and walked towards the station, and before he could take two steps, he felt something against his waist.
Su Tongsheng looked at the man he was holding for a while, and the man also opened his eyes and looked at him. The two looked at each other for a while, and they both saw from each other's eyes that they were both tough and uncompromising.
"I need healing medicine, and I can pay for it." The man said.
Su Tongsheng was silent for a while and replied, "Yes." Originally, he saved the other party out of kindness, but he didn't expect the other party to use a knife at him, and the subsequent proposal was a transaction that did not involve human favors. Since the other party wants to trade, since the other party has drawn the Tao so clearly, Su Tongsheng is naturally happy to do so, it is a good thing to make people owe favors, but sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to have favors.
Su Tongsheng secretly brought the man into his tent, and then gave him some healing medicine. The man was not lightly wounded, or he would not have collapsed by the river. Looking at his soaking wet, it was obvious that he had jumped into the river and escaped.
Su Tongsheng only needs to see who is searching along the river tonight or tomorrow to know how big a crime this man has committed. Su Tongsheng pondered whether he should inform the second uncle of Huisheng and let him be mentally prepared, otherwise he might suffer a lot of losses if he really encountered those who were chasing and killing him.
It is a choice to let the man stay, and this choice takes the initiative, and when the time comes, it depends on the situation. The man characterized the previous incident as a transaction, and Su Tongsheng naturally did not have the psychological burden of betraying people. If the man is gone, nothing will happen, there will be neither trouble nor opportunity.
Just as Su Tongsheng was thinking, the man threw over a bag of things, Su Tongsheng reached out to catch it, he weighed it, and asked, "What is this?" ā
"Remuneration." Without waiting for Su Tongsheng to open it, the man got up and went out.
Su Tongsheng's eyes flickered, and finally sighed and did not intend to leave the man behind. Then he opened the bag, and his heart beat a little faster when he saw the contents inside, and there were several star stones inside. Su Tongsheng estimated that these star stones weighed about seven or eight taels, and if these seven or eight taels were the weight of a whole star stone, the value would be great. Even so, these few star stones were enough to buy dozens of healing pills.
Su Tongsheng took a deep breath, the man could give such a valuable thing casually, it can be seen that he definitely has something more valuable on him, which made him hunted down. Su Tongsheng knew that wealth was moving, and the other party must also know this, so he left before Su Tongsheng opened the bag.
If he went to inform the second uncle at this time, maybe he would have fallen into the man's trap, and once they searched the neighborhood on a large scale, what would happen to the people who were chasing and killing the man? It can't be said that it is a disaster that leads to disasters and helps the man prevent disasters.
Su Tongsheng put away the star stones and decided not to do anything, anyway, these star stones were already a windfall for him.
In the darkness not far from Su Tongsheng's tent, the man stared at Su Tongsheng's tent for a while, and after seeing that Su Tongsheng did not come out of the tent, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Su family continued on the road, and along the way, Su Tongsheng really saw many people in a hurry, and asked the second uncle, and he also noticed the abnormality of this matter, there would not be so many people on this road on weekdays.
Su Dingfang asked everyone to be vigilant, and after walking for a while, everyone came to a tea stall, and Su Dingfang took this opportunity to inquire about the tea stall owner.
The old man who was familiar with Su Dingfang did not hide it: "There are indeed several groups of people and horses going in that direction today, I heard that a thief stole the treasure of the nobles in the city, so he sent people to chase and kill them, and there are also many people who want to fish in troubled waters, hehe, these people are too ignorant of the height of the sky, where are the nobles' things so easy to rob." ā
"What the shopkeeper said is that if it shouldn't be your own, don't think too much." Su Dingfang was perfunctory. This is a world of the strong, how to become strong without robbing others. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't figure out the situation in the middle, Su Dingfang wouldn't mind getting involved.
After drinking a few bowls of herbal tea, the group continued on their way, and it was not until late evening that they entered the city. Su Dingfang took everyone to find an inn to settle down, and after telling everyone, Su Chen went out with Su Tongsheng, Su Tongsheng saw the city of this world for the first time, except that the scale of the city was a little smaller than he thought, and the rest was not too unexpected for him.
There are not many entertainment activities in this world, and the whole town is a little more lively with a few gambling houses and green buildings, Su Tongsheng is not here, so he didn't go in to have a look, but Su Chen was teased by a few prostitutes standing on the street, Su Tongsheng believed that if he wasn't here today, it is estimated that Su Chen would have entered.
The two didn't go around, and finally found a restaurant to eat and then returned to the inn. After returning to his room, Su Tongsheng began to meditate again and sorted out the memory fragments of the woman in the sea.
