Volume 1 A Boy's Big Dream Rises in Qianzhou Chapter 41 A Strange Village
After saying goodbye to Ye Dong'er and the others, Yu Qixia embarked on an unknown road, he walked aimlessly on the road, surrounded by weeds and gravel.
"Alas, it's so sad to live without a map......" Yu Qixia wanted to cry without tears, and sighed. He had been walking on this road for nearly an hour and a half, but there was no human habitation, and the gravel on both sides of the road was even more numerous, as if it were man-made, and it was scattered all over the place.
After continuing to walk forward for about a quarter of an hour, he vaguely saw that the sky in front of him slowly rose a stream of cooking smoke, which was like a light of hope, guiding Yu Qixia forward.
Seeing this, he instantly had the spirit, and he took a step and rushed towards the direction where the smoke was rising. Now he doesn't have to worry about being lost, because the village ahead may be able to show him the way.
Thinking about it, the soles of his feet seemed to be blessed by the breeze, and his speed became extremely fast, or he turned into a streamer and rushed away, just to reach that small village.
"It's finally here......" he exhaled as he stepped into the village, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and panted. He never imagined that it would take him nearly a quarter of an hour to reach this small village, and when he saw the smoke rising, he felt that this place was not far from him, but when he ran, it was extremely far away.
When he came back to his senses and looked around, he found that the village seemed to be some year old, many of the houses were in ruins, every log and rubble was full of cracks, and only the smoke of cooking smoke came out of the broken chimneys scattered everywhere, everything was so harmonious and silent, yet terrifyingly silent.
At this time, a bleak cold wind blew, penetrating deep into the joints, like a sharp knife, making Yu Qixia shiver violently, he eased his nerves, strengthened his courage, and walked into this angry and sluggish village.
He looked back step by step, constantly looking at the distribution of this village, and there were a few old people sitting in front of the door, seeing Yu Qixia, a living person, there was a strange look in his cloudy eyes, but he was still sitting there, as if nothing had happened.
Yu Qixia was also a little strange, and after seeing these old people, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Old man, where is this place, and how far is it from Blackwater City?"
"Child...... An old man raised his head, his hand that was as dry as dry grass was raised, and beckoned to Yu Qixia, signaling him to come forward.
Yu Qixia didn't think much about it, so she stepped forward, leaned down and asked, "This old man, is there anything you need my help with?"
"Not ......" the old man's words were low and hoarse, and said lifelessly, "It's getting late, you might as well stay here for a day, Blackwater City is still nearly a hundred miles away from here, it's better to hurry up tomorrow, it's safer than rushing at night." ”
As he spoke, the old man pointed to the direction of Blackwater City with his withered knuckles, and then lowered his head again, as if he had lost his life, lifeless.
"This ......" Yu Qixia hesitated a little, looked up at the sky, at this time the sun was setting, dyeing the sky red, as if covered with a layer of blood-red curtain, it looked extremely weird.
Yu Qixia saw such a scene, and her right eyelid kept beating, as if there was an ominous sign about to happen.
"Some bad feelings...... Yu Qixia muttered to herself, and comforted herself, "Maybe it's an illusion......"
"Child, it's better for you to stay, and we're also for your good......"
The old man spoke slowly, but when he spoke, he gave people a feeling of being out of breath, like a dying man, his breath fluctuated.
"Boy, it's better to stay with these old guys. At this time, the voice of devouring sounded in his head.
"Why ......"
"Your instincts are right, there are some problems here, but I did find something interesting. You're going to do it first!" Devouring smiled, and fell silent again.
"It's okay......" After Yu Qixia heard this, after thinking about it, he agreed to stay.
"Come with me......" One of the old men stood up and led the way for Yu Qixia, his dry body was like a dead tree, and his white hair was scattered, giving people a gloomy feeling.
After that, Yu Qixia followed the old man to a house, only to see that there was a desk, wooden chair and a bed, and the living utensils were simple and clear, but they were extremely clean.
"Child, at night, if you hear any noise, don't come out of the room, otherwise, even we won't be able to save you!" The old man told Yu Qixia in a serious way before leaving, don't move around at will at night. The solemnity of the tone made Yu Qixia a little puzzled.
"Okay, I'll ......," but after some thought, he agreed.
After getting his assurance, the old man left the room, leaving Yu Qixia here alone.
After the old man walked away, Yu Qixia sat on the bed and cultivated, today's battle made Yu Qixia have a little sense of enlightenment, and at this time he was reliving this feeling in his mind.
At this time, he resimulated the battle experience of that day in his mind, just to find out his shortcomings, after all, it was the first battle that could be regarded as a real meaning, and he had to use it to hone himself.
And in his mind, he was constantly practicing the situation of every moment, whether to dodge here, or to face head-on, whether to pick here, or to stab, and so on, all of which were all practiced by Yu Qixia in order to make the best way to deal with it.
The repeated practice made Yu Qixia's fighting ideas gradually clear, and his combat skills became proficient.
But this combat experience alone is not enough for him to achieve anything in the fight, but only to make him understand that he is in that situation, and how to deal with it is the best outcome.
After nearly half an hour, he opened his eyes, his eyes like stars were full of enlightenment, and he had some insight into this cultivation.
"If I plan to practice after every fight, maybe it will improve my fighting skills. Yu Qixia said to himself, after all, this realization made him gain something in his heart, so he planned to do so.
"Li Congwu ......" At this time, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "What is the relationship between you and Li Congwen?" He thought of what Li Congwu had said today, there are people in the Ancient Dao Sect, is it Li Congwen?
Even so, Li Congwen has only been in the sect for nearly a month, and it is impossible for him to have any power in the Ancient Dao Sect, and Li Congwen is just a stupid big man, and his brain is full of mush, which makes him a little confused.
"Who is it?" Yu Qixia closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with his hands, "The stupid big man definitely has something to do with him, but the person in Li Congwu's mouth shouldn't be a stupid big ......"
"That person, in a year's time, the Ancient Dao Sect will be his world......" At this time, he remembered one of Li Congwu's words, "It seems that this person may be the identity of an elder or above in the sect." Yu Fu is also going to retreat into the background. This is also the result of what he wants to see, Yu Fu is no longer the sect master of the Ancient Dao Sect.
"No, according to time, Yu Fu has not yet reached the age of running out of oil at this time. Yu Qixia thought about it for a while, and thought for a while about the loopholes, "It stands to reason that there is no reason for a person who can still cultivate to a higher realm to abdicate and assist a new sect master. ”
After all, the position of sect leader represents the strength of a sect, and it is the top strength of the sect, and the person who can hold this important position is not a person with strength and strategy within the sect.
"Mo is not ......" At this time, Yu Qixia had another thought in his mind, maybe the world in Li Congwu's mouth did not represent the entire Ancient Dao Sect, or between disciples, but it did not include the high-level region of the entire Ancient Dao Sect.
This person may be the most outstanding genius among the disciples in the Ancient Dao Sect, with strong strength, cultivation, and identity may be the Daozi in the sect, after all, among the disciples whose strength is respected, whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak, and can manipulate others!
"I'm really too smart...... Although he didn't expect the result of Yu Fu losing his position as the sect master, he was also very happy to guess the harvest of this process.
"But it's a little tricky. He thought about it for a moment and rubbed his temples again, "What Li Congwu saw was Tianyu's face, and it would be unlucky if he saw him in the Ancient Dao Sect." He smiled helplessly, after all, he had just formed a bond with Li Congwu, and the other party had the backing comparable to Daozi's strength, and now he was not enough to fight against a character like Daozi.
"Daozi......" Yu Qixia closed his eyes, sighed, and then meditated and cultivated......
As time passed, the sun finally set, and the blood-colored canopy of heaven had been swallowed up by endless darkness, replaced by a waning moon, hanging high in the sky, allowing its silvery light to pour over the gray earth.
At this moment, there was a sudden tremor outside the village, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing towards the village, roaring incessantly.
The ground of the village suddenly rumbled and shook, and scattered lines appeared on the ground. And in the middle of the village, there stood a mysterious man with a hat, under the light of the moonlight, he was constantly chanting some kind of ancient language in his mouth, which made people feel extremely harsh, and the lines gradually converged with his chanting, forming a spirit array imprint, revealing blood, as if there was blood flowing where the mark passed - a bloody spiritual array!
