Volume 1: The Beginning Chapter 5: The Flower Thief
There was nothing to do all night, and when Xuanhao first woke up from his dream, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
Guan Cheng Xiong and the others were still watching from the side, and never left, but Cheng Wei's face was depressed, and he glanced at Xuan Hao from time to time, impatiently eating meat and drinking.
Seeing Xuan Hao get up, Kong Xiu quickly came with water and meat, checked the injury in his eye, and saw that there was no major problem, so he also calmed down.
Cheng Wei on the side also hurriedly walked over, and reprimanded: "You can really sleep, I waited here for a full morning, if it weren't for Kong Xiu's begging to beg us to stay, who would have taken care of you." ”
Hearing this, Xuan Hao glanced at Kong Xiu on the side, thinking that this person was really kind-hearted, but he was considerate of himself when he met in Pingshui.
Thinking about it, but it's a little off-track, if it's a woman, forget it, but it's still a man, could it be that this person has some habit of breaking his sleeves, and he ...... Although he was thinking so nonsense in his heart, he couldn't talk nonsense, and then he showed gratitude and said thank you to Kong Xiu.
After hearing this, Kong Xiu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Acquaintance is fate." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Xuan Hao, who was radiating glory at this time, and said with envy: "Your physique is really extremely unusual, even if the eldest brother is so seriously injured by you, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive, but you are a mortal, but you can get better so quickly, I really admire." ”
The eldest brother in Kong Xiu's mouth is undoubtedly Cheng Xiong.
I remember when I first met, Cheng Xiong also said the same. It's just that these words are in Xuan Hao's ears, but they are not a taste.
He couldn't tell everyone that the original owner of this body had already died, so he allowed himself to take advantage of the loophole and borrow the corpse to return the soul, and he borrowed the Yuan Zhou four billion years ago.
"It's over, maybe I still have a wish to fulfill, and God won't accept me. Xuan Hao squeezed out a wry smile and said self-deprecatingly.
While speaking, Kong Xiu handed over a barbecued meat leg, which looked like it was from a wolf deer. Seeing this, Xuan Hao was not hypocritical, took it and thanked him, and then feasted.
After eating, Xuan Hao followed Cheng Xiong and the others on the road. Originally, I didn't plan to take him with me, this trip was a dangerous task, and Xuan Hao was just a mortal, so he couldn't stand his bitter pleading and intercession with Kong Xiu on the side, so he had to take him on the road together.
Along the way, I was also comfortable, I didn't encounter any dangers, and everyone talked and laughed together, chatting and talking, but I was not lonely.
After a day of walking, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone found a stream, lit a bonfire, and sat around to rest.
At this time, there was a commotion in the bushes in the distance, and everyone looked over, only to see a big man suddenly jumping out, only to see him carrying an adult colorful deer on his shoulder, carrying several pheasants and hares in each hand, and walking towards everyone with a smile.
"Hahaha, I said second brother, you have been away for so long and only come back now, is it just for these wild meats?"
A skinny man named Sun Li quipped in the crowd.
There is no doubt that the big man is Cheng Wei, and when he heard this, he didn't bother to refute it, he still smiled, just smirked, threw away the wild things, and sat aside alone to drink.
Everything was in Xuan Hao's eyes, only to see him quietly move in the direction of Cheng Wei, and for a moment, he smelled a smell of wine, only felt comfortable physically and mentally, and said with a pompous face: "It's so fragrant!"
Xuan Hao ran to Cheng Wei's side and asked with envy: "Second brother, what kind of wine is this?" ”
Cheng Wei listened to this, his face was proud, and he was about to boast, he turned his head to look at Xuan Hao's fiery gaze, and did not speak, put the wine jug into his arms, and said angrily: "Little doll's family, what do you know." ”
After a meal, Xuan Hao looked embarrassed and didn't speak, but Cheng Xiong on the side looked at Xuan Hao's intoxicated appearance and persuaded him: "You take out the wine and give Brother Xuan a sip, he is not healed from his injury now, drink some of your wine, and the injury will recover faster." ”
After listening to this, Cheng Wei sat alone, a little twisted, and finally refused.
Seeing this, Kong Xiu walked to Cheng Wei's side, the two didn't know what to conspire to talk about, and after a while, Cheng Wei reluctantly handed the wine to Xuan Hao, and said angrily: "You are only allowed to drink a little, don't be able to bear it when you arrive, and blame me for not it." ”
Xuan Hao took the wine jug with a smile, took a sip of the venison that had not yet been swallowed in his mouth.
The entrance is soft, as if it is not a drink that is swallowed, but a cloud of mist, slowly sliding down the throat, only feeling warm and comfortable all over the body.
Before Cheng Wei could ask, he raised the wine jug and poured a few sips, and suddenly felt that his whole body was hot and unbearable, and his cheeks were red.
"Good wine" Xuan Hao burst out loud, unusually bold, but he didn't notice that the surrounding atmosphere was a little weird.
Cheng Wei was stunned for a while, and hurriedly snatched the wine jug, Kong Xiu's face was slightly worried, and he asked tentatively, "Is there any discomfort in your body?"
Asked by this, Xuan Haohu was suspicious for a while, looked at the people around him, and looked at himself like a fool, and said stupidly: "Could it be this wine?"
Cheng Wei rushed over with an annoyed face, and rewarded Xuan Hao on the spot, and roared angrily: "You are really crazy, don't die? This wine is specially transferred by me to moisten the blood of Yuanshi, and the general Yuan body will not be able to bear it after two sips, can you pour it, do you think you are drinking ordinary wine? Drink it to death!"
When Xuan Hao heard this, he pretended to be surprised, and his heart was secret, the alcohol concentration was not high and he couldn't drink the dead, I was afraid that you were a black fat man who protected the wine to be true.
But after thinking about it, everyone's expressions didn't look like they were acting, maybe this wine was really as powerful as he said, but he hadn't realized it yet.
At this time, Cheng Xiong sat aside, looked at Xuan Hao, thought for a long time, and frowned slightly: "Maybe Brother Xuan was a famous Yuan Shi before he was injured, and his Yuan Lian realm is even worse than mine."
According to common theory, the ordinary Yuanshi was so seriously injured that he had already returned to the Nine Heavens, but the Xuan brothers had amnesia and were abolished. As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, and they nodded their heads one after another, feeling that they were reasonable, otherwise they would not be able to explain that a mortal would have such a strong physique.
Hearing this, Xuan Hao was also a little surprised, and immediately asked, "Big brother, what conditions do you need to prepare for this to become a Yuan Body?"
Seeing this question, Cheng Xiong came back to his senses and said slowly: "This Yuan Lian is like exploring the way of heaven, if ordinary people want Yuan Lian, they must first determine whether this person is Yuan Body, take the East Que where we live, the population is more than 10 million, and only 12 out of 10 are not qualified to become Yuan Body, and only a very small number of people are born mortal bodies and cannot be changed." ”
Xuan Hao listened very carefully, did not speak, listened patiently, Cheng Xiong continued: "And if you want to become a Yuan Body, the first step to do is to pass the Yuan, and this Tong Yuan is to put it simply, that is, find a person who has become a Yuan Shi, and through Yuan Li, to help you open up the eight veins and twelve points in your body." ”
While listening, Xuan Hao thought in his heart, this Tongyuan is too mysterious, and he has to find a Yuanshi to open up the acupuncture veins of the whole body, just thinking about it, he involuntarily asked: "Then will this Tongyuan fail, what is the chance of success?"
Seeing Xuan Hao's question, Cheng Xiong's eyes became much deeper, and he sighed and said: "If you fail, those who are lucky will fall into some hidden dangers, or reduce their life expectancy, or suffer from long-term illness, or be disabled for life, and those who are unlucky will die directly."
It must be known that this Yuan Refining cannot be achieved overnight, everything has to be done steadily, and even some people who have successfully become Yuan for several years or decades will not be able to take that step to become a real Yuan Shi. After speaking, he glanced at Kong Xiu on the side vaguely.
Following the eyes, Kong Xiu slowly lowered his head, showing shame, and said embarrassedly: "The way of Yuan Lian, in my opinion, is more important than cultivation, cultivation may be high and low, but this state of mind will not be different from up and down." ”
This opinion, listening to Xuan Hao's ears, is a particularly awakening.
At this time, Cheng Wei on the side heard this, but he laughed and said: "Refining the heart has a fart use, if you meet an enemy who is higher than your cultivation, will he sit down and talk to you?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Xuan Hao hurriedly exclaimed: "What, I don't think it's early, don't you have to hurry tomorrow?
There was a glimmer of light in the sky, and it was exceptionally cool, and the whole sky was still gray, dotted with two or three stars.
In a few moments, I saw a few black shadows flash in the forest, and after a while, the black shadows came to a hidden cave entrance.
Under a closer look, it turned out to be Xuan Hao, Cheng Wei, and Kong Xiu.
I saw that the clothes of the three of them were a little wet, and I was afraid that it was the dew stained by shuttling between the jungles.
Xuan Hao looked at the entrance of the cave, stunned, and asked with a confused expression: "Second brother, we don't sleep early in the morning, what are we doing here?"
Hearing this, Cheng Wei looked displeased, rolled his eyes and said, "I said that you have asked so many questions, you have asked all the way, can you stop for a while, and your head has been blown up by your questions." ”
Obviously, there has been no shortage of torture along the way. On the other hand, Xuan Hao also looked aggrieved, and he slept sweetly early in the morning, when he was woken up by this black fat man's yin and yang weirdness, and said that he took himself to see the wonders, galloped all the way, and died of exhaustion.
Just thinking about it, Cheng Wei picked up some weeds in front of the cave and walked in first, Xuan Hao didn't think much about it, and followed in, Kong Xiu last.
I have to say that this cave is extremely hidden, and it is difficult for others to find it without looking carefully.
Entering the cave and going inside, the more you walk, the narrower it becomes, only enough for one person to pass sideways, and there are some places where you need to squat down to pass through, and the three of them move slowly back and forth.
In this way, I walked for nearly half an hour, and I didn't know where it led in all directions.
Xuan Hao followed, and the further he walked inside, he only felt that his hairs stood on end, and a chill hit, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, making people shiver.
It must be known that this Dawn is a hot summer day without exception all year round, but I never thought that such a magical place would appear, it is really incredible.
Just when Xuan Hao was puzzled, Cheng Wei in front of him suddenly stopped his pace and muttered, "It's here."
After speaking, he looked back at Xuan Hao, and at this time, Xuan Hao's bronze face was red from the cold, and his hair and eyebrows were covered with a layer of frost, like an old man.
Cheng Wei gloated with a gloating face, and said with a smile: "I said Brother Xuan, I told you earlier to let you wear a padded jacket, but you didn't listen, but now it's better to suffer hardship." ”
Xuan Hao didn't know whether he was so cold that he couldn't speak or was angry, he stared at Cheng Wei with disdain, and said in his heart, "You black fat man, you are extremely shameless, I knew you were going to come to this ghost place, and you won't come to kill you." ”
Although he thought so in his heart, he was unable to make an expression on his face, and he had already been frozen by the cold.
Suddenly, he only felt a warm current all over his body, Xuan Hao turned his head, and just saw Kong Xiu on the side taking off the padded jacket on his body and putting it on himself, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan, put on me, your injuries have not healed, don't frostbite and add injuries." ”
Seeing this, Xuan Hao's nose was a little sour, and he was extremely moved, but he couldn't figure out what this Kong Xiu had always felt about his inexplicable goodness.
I have no money and no power, it's really incomprehensible, and I'm not hypocritical, I put it on after thanking myself, but the key is that I'm too cold.
After a cup of tea, Xuan Hao gradually regained consciousness, looked around, and saw that he was standing in an extremely open cave at this time.
Everywhere you look, there is a bright crystal, scattered with a faint fluorescence, like a fairy tale wonderland.
Patches of crystal-like ice stand around it, as if in a crystal vein. Immediately afterwards, Kong Xiu stepped forward and handed over a small porcelain vase and walked to the side.
Xuan Hao stood in place, a little distracted, but he didn't know what to do, and saw Cheng Wei in the corner of the side half-hooked at this time, not knowing what he was fiddling with.
Xuan Hao walked slowly, thinking to himself, I want to see what kind of flowers this black fat man can play with when he comes to this ghost place early in the morning without sleeping.
took a closer look, and saw that a flower really appeared in Cheng Wei's hand, and Xuan Hao almost didn't step on it steadily, and fell into a.
This black fat man really came all the way to play with flowers, a man with five big and three thick, didn't sleep early in the morning, waded through mountains and rivers, and was frozen half of his body, and he was actually ...... I'm here to play with flowers.
Xuan Hao was so angry in his heart at this time, he couldn't wait to have a big knife in his hand and split the body of this black fat man.
Xiucai on the side saw Xuan Hao stunned in place for a long time, his expression was a little ugly, he mistakenly thought that something was wrong, and came over and asked with concern: "Brother Xuan, are you okay?"
Immediately, Xuan Hao reacted, pointed at Cheng Wei and said, "What is the second brother doing?"
Hearing this, Kong Xiu smiled and said: "It was my negligence, Brother Xuan may not know about this flower, but you didn't drink the wine made from this flower last night!"
At that moment, Xuan Hao reacted, immediately understood, and said with a smile: "I remember, the second brother named the wine 'Fengxiang Dew', saying that it is only in extremely cold places that bloom in the early morning, and the Fengwu flowers are brewed with dew berries and dew water for 7749 days. In this way, this flower is ......"
After speaking, he glanced at Cheng Wei, who was cautious, and thought it was very interesting.
Xuan Hao walked in to take a closer look, thinking that what the black fat man said was true, this phoenix dance flower really only blooms in the early morning in extremely cold places.
On closer inspection, this flower is a little similar to the trumpet flower that is commonly seen, but the body of this flower is blue and purple, and the color gradually decreases to both sides.
Secondly, the flower stem is blue and white, and a fiery red flower leaf is revealed on it, which is the only one, which looks very demonic.
Looking at this flower from different angles, you will find that the shape of this flower has been changing, until you look up through the fiery red flower leaves, with the light and shadow, you will see the wonder of the phoenix dance, and the name of this flower is really very appropriate.
When he looked at Cheng Wei, Xuan Hao smiled for no reason, thinking that this black fat man usually does everything with a big grin, but now it is good, he is not noisy and does not make a temperament, as if he has changed a person.
I saw that he carefully pointed the mouth of the bottle against the fiery red flower leaf at this time, and only trembled slightly, and put all the drops of crystal dew on the leaf into the bottle.
Then he stretched out his finger to put the stamen into the bottle, followed by the petals, and finally the flower leaves, only to see that once the flowers and leaves were picked, they suddenly turned into a cloud of red smoke, which was put into the bottle by Cheng Wei, so that the collection of phoenix dance flowers came to an end.
Xuan Hao followed and watched for a while, and also learned to collect it in a proper way. Time passed little by little, unconsciously more than an hour passed, when the first rays of sunlight shone down through the cracks in the mountains, the phoenix dance flowers in the audience seemed to be frightened, and they closed their petals one after another, and the fiery red flowers and leaves on the flower stem were also tightly wrapped, tight and tight.
"Damn, it's so fast, it's just collected so much, it's not enough for me to drink for ten days and half a month. As soon as the flower picking was over, Cheng Wei showed his true face and walked towards the cave with a scolding scolding.
Facing the rising sun, the three of them walked towards the camp unhurriedly, and along the way, Xuan Hao asked Kong Xiu a lot about Tongyuan, and secretly calculated in his heart.
When they returned to the camp, it was already noon, and Cheng Xiong and the others had been waiting for a long time, angrily scolding Cheng Wei for fooling around, tidying up, and everyone hurried forward again.
Walking halfway, Xuan Hao quietly dragged Cheng Xiong and said sincerely: "Big brother, can you do the little brother a favor." ”
Cheng Xiong understood at the moment, and Nuo Nuo nodded and said, "Brother, you might as well say it directly." ”
Hearing this, Xuan Hao didn't twist, and pleaded with a face: "I want to understand Yuan." ”
