Huddled in a straw pile, shivering, cold wind blowing from all directions. made Chen Yichen feel that the whole room was just a decoration, and it was not even warm outside. It wasn't until the five drums and chickens crowed that the top-heavy Chen Yichen gradually lost consciousness.

The warm sun shines through the broken window, which is also pleasant. Chen Yichen's body turned slightly in his sleep, and the person rolled down from the straw and sat up suddenly.

"What about people?" Chen Yichen widened his eyes and glanced around, and only charcoal was still burning in the fire on the ground. There was no trace of the old man, not even the broken quilt on the ground.

Made, deceive too much. Chen Yichen couldn't vent the anger in his heart, his fists were clenched, his green tendons bulged, and his teeth squeaked when they were bitten.

"Oops, wake up boy. ”

Hearing the words, Chen Yi turned around violently. The old man was already standing at the door at some point, holding the new quilt in one hand and the food box in the other.

"You, what did you do?" I thought that the old man had taken his money and ran away overnight, but now seeing him suddenly appear, Chen Yichen's anger in his heart disappeared mostly.

"You don't want to find someone, of course you have to go out and ask for news. The old man threw the quilt on the straw, sat down by the fire, added some firewood, opened the food box, and said, "Come, come, let you taste the delicacies of the world." ”

"What is this?" The moment he opened the food box, he was already fragrant, and he took out half a roast chicken from it.

"Take it. After the old man handed the roast chicken to Chen Yichen, he took out another whole chicken and a pot of wine from it. Tear off a chicken leg and stuff it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "For you, eat, you're welcome." ”

"Thank you, seniors. Chen Yichen was at a loss, just now he was still wondering if he had run away, but now he thinks that he misunderstood him. Holding the roast chicken in his hand, seeing that he ate it so deliciously, Chen Yichen couldn't help but ask: "Senior, why is there a tooth mark on this half of the roast chicken?"

"Eat or not. The old man glanced at him and said, "If you don't eat, you'll be hungry, and this roast chicken is expensive." ”

"Eat, eat. Chen Yichen was already hungry in his stomach, although he knew that he had eaten half of the roast chicken, he was still very grateful in his heart.

How did Chen Yichen know that the half roast chicken he ate in his mouth was still something he bought with his own money. Early in the morning, the old man took the robe he had given him last night and trotted all the way to a pawnshop. After several bargains, the robe was deserved to death at the price of twenty-five taels of silver.

How did Chen Yichen, who is not deeply involved in the world, know that there is a magical place in the world called a pawnshop. If I had known earlier, I am afraid that I would not have met this old man in this life.

"Senior, what news did you find out today?" Chewing roast chicken in his mouth, Chen Yichen did not forget his business.

"Boy, how can it be so fast. The huge Luancheng City in Kyoto has more than 100,000 people, to say the least. The old man's mouth was not idle, and he said vaguely: "Don't worry, you still need to think about it in the long run." ”

"Senior, didn't you say that you can help me inquire if you give money!" Chen Yichen's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, did he want to regret it.

"Yes, that's right. I did take your money. I didn't say I could tell you right away. The old man looked at Chen Yichen's displeasure on his face, and said with a smile: "Hehe, boy, don't worry, give me some time, the old man will definitely find it for you." ”

"Okay. Seniors can be as soon as possible. Although Chen Yichen was displeased, he was also helpless. Yesterday he did say that he would let himself stay here for the time being. I'm afraid that finding someone is not as simple as I think. Now that you're on a thief ship, you don't have a choice.

The old man slowly ate the roast chicken, drank the wine to the sky, staggered a few steps, fell on the straw and fell asleep directly with the quilt.

Chen Yichen was so angry in his heart, thinking that he would do something serious after he was full of wine and food, but he didn't expect to faint like a dead pig in a blink of an eye.

"Senior, wake up. Chen Yi Chen Ben squatted on the ground and pulled his shoulder, the only difference between him and the dead man was that he still had a breath, "Hey, wake up." ”

The hand slapped on his face, but the person still didn't react, Chen Yichen was completely dead, thinking that the second day after coming to Kyoto, he was so deserted, and he walked to the door helplessly, wanting to go to understand the layout of Kyoto first.

Before the foot that stepped out of the step landed on the steps, I heard a soft sound of "pop" in my ears. Lowered his head and swept his eyes, and threw a book at his feet.

"Chill the weather. Chen Yichen picked up the dropped book, and suddenly remembered that in the mountain village that night, the man who recognized the wrong person taught him the short sword along with the book. There are too many things happening these days, not to mention that Chen Yichen doesn't like to read in the first place, and he even forgot about its existence for a while.

Needless to say, the sharpness of the short sword has already been seen by Chen Yichen. As for what this book is, I have never read it, but I have no way of knowing. Although it says Cold Heaven, I've never heard of any famous books with this name.

Han Tian Jue, Han Tian Jue, could it be that this book is about martial arts? Chen Yichen's heart tightened, he squatted on the steps, and slowly opened the book with trembling hands.

"This is an internal method. Yes, that's right, that man once said that my internal strength is too poor. ”

Chen Yichen read a few pages, and was overjoyed if he got a treasure. When he stuffed the book into his arms, according to the description in the book, he sat cross-legged, his mind was one, and he practiced.

"Hey, asleep?"

The old man's voice sounded in his ears, and Chen Yichen slowly opened his eyes. He looked up at the sky blankly, looked down at the old man in front of him, and then looked back at the fire in the house.

"Why is it dark?"

"Why is it dark?" the old man looked at the sky with a suspicious face, and said, "The day has passed, why is it not dark?"

"What? It's dark?" Chen Yichen wanted to get up from the steps, his legs were numb, and he lay on the ground, looked up at the stars, and whispered, "It's dark." ”

"Eat, eat. "The old man looked at Chen Yichen on the ground, whether he could help me or not, what if he was blackmailing me, forget it. Turning around and walking into the room, he said to himself, "Brain, it's indeed a good thing." ”

"Senior, what do you do for a living?" Chen Yichen held the bowl, frowning and staring at the various foods mixed together, emitting a special taste.

"It's always called Hanako, it's always called Hanako, of course, it's to eat a hundred family meals. The old man glanced at him and said, "Hey, you eat quickly, it's specially prepared for you." ”

"Senior, what about you?" Chen Yichen really couldn't bear to swallow his mouth, whether this thing could be eaten or not was a question.

"Well, hehe. The old man, like a trickster, took out a roast chicken out of nowhere and said, "I'll eat it." ”

"You ......" Chen Yichen, who was angry, itched his teeth and said, "I also eat roast chicken." ”

"No, I can't. The old man rejected him and said, "If you want to do great things, you have to endure the hardships that ordinary people can't bear, so that you can do things that ordinary people can't do." ”

"Endure the hardships that ordinary people can't bear, and do things that ordinary people can't do. Chen Yichen pondered this sentence repeatedly, his heart suddenly brightened, he picked up the broken bowl and ate it in a big gulp, and said vaguely: "Thank you seniors for your advice." ”

"Pointing, pointing?" the old man wondered.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yichen spent a month here. The old man still eats and drinks all day and sleeps all day. And Chen Yichen only has two things, the first is to urge the old man to find out the news every day, and the second is to practice the cold heaven trick every day.

After a month of getting along, I already know the old man very well, except for the lazy people, everything else is very good. is also very concerned about Chen Yichen, and even the quilt that has been covered for many years was given to Chen Yichen as a generous gift. The scene at that time was quite grand, and those who didn't know thought that this old and young man was entrusting their lives to orphans.

Time is not wasted, although the old man did not inquire about Xiao Mingxu at all. At least in these days, the cold weather trick that has been practiced has paid off.

Chen Yichen has never practiced martial arts in the Eight Classics, let alone touched internal skills, and relied on his own understanding of the cold heavenly formula, and explored and practiced on his own for a month.

He didn't know what kind of internal strength method Han Tianjue was and what kind of results it could achieve. The only thing I can feel is that in the past month, my senses have become sharper than before, and I am much more energetic.

It's strange to say, since I started practicing the Cold Heaven Technique, I always felt that the time to practice was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was bright, but I didn't feel tired the next day, which was the thing that surprised Chen Yichen the most. A month is enough for people to develop a habit, and Chen Yichen has successfully developed this habit.

That night, the old man fell asleep on the straw, and Chen Yichen sat cross-legged beside him. Unlike in the past, I felt that a cold current was emerging in my body at some point, which was extremely subtle. If you don't feel a cold air rushing through your pores, you won't even notice the formation of a cold snap.

Concentrate on channeling the cold current to the dantian, only to find that the cold current is not under his control at all. After many attempts, the cold snap has always stagnated, and instead it has become chaotic and completely out of control. Chen Yichen, who was in a hurry, was burning in his chest, and the sweat in his head crackled and fell.

Suddenly, a strong and powerful air flow poured in from nowhere, and I only felt that this force was strong and powerful, but it was as flexible as a dragon swimming in the sea. In the blink of an eye, this force enveloped the cold current. It seems to be one but distinct from each other.

This external air flow was intertwined with the cold air, and I only felt that the cold current was guided by it, and it sank in the dantian after swimming along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra.

"What a strong internal skill. ”

Chen Yichen opened his eyes violently and glanced around, except for the old man who was still asleep, there was no one else in the room. Strange, who's talking? Where is that powerful air current coming from?

Chen Yichen closed his eyes, and his mind was one. I could only feel the cold current immersed in the dantian, and that air current had long since disappeared. I tried to control the cold snap again, and finally got a reaction.

Chen Yichen tried to stimulate the cold current, and guided the cold current to slowly squirm according to the route he had just taken. I waited until the end of the cycle to open my eyes.

It was bright and empty, but there was no one in the house. Chen Yichen was used to this kind of life, the fire was still emitting a faint light, and the bowl on the shelf was a bunch of unknown food mixtures. In fact, the contents of the bowl are not unpalatable, but the color is a little different.

After gobbling up, Chen Yichen slowly got up from the ground and walked to the yard to stretch. Looking up at the sun in the sky, with last night's harvest, the mood is particularly comfortable.
