Chapter 156: A cliché
After two months of absence, when he woke up in his bed again, facing the familiar room, Zhou Budo's feelings about it were a little unreal.
Obviously, a few days ago, when I was still in Chengdu City at night, I hid in Tibet to avoid pursuit, and the feeling of death being close at hand was so real, so real that I seemed to be able to touch it in my dreams.
This night, Zhou Budo's dreams were all about that night, hiding in the corner and not daring to make a sound, watching one after another fierce and murderous people running in front of him, the cold light of the weapons in their hands, the bright light refracted in the black curtain, made Zhou Budo even after waking up in bed, the cold sweat on his body kept coming out.
When he got out of bed and came to the mirror, Zhou Budo's eyes looked at the delicate and immature face in the mirror with some disbelief.
Yourself, survived?
Suddenly, Zhou Budo only felt a strong dizziness in his head rushing to his head, covering his head with both hands, and sat on the edge of the bed again with sonorous steps.
In the next second, Zhou Budo opened his eyes again.
This endless and vast scene appeared in front of his eyes.
The old man who called himself Nanli Ancestor was staring at Zhou Budo with a smile on his face, and seeing that Zhou Budo was still ignorant, the old man took the lead in speaking
"Little guy, it's been more than a month, but it's been back to Nanli, how is it, have you missed your ancestor in these days?"
Unlike last time, Zhou Budo, who entered this illusion this time, still looked like a child, and there was no blood stain on his body, but Zhou Budo's head still felt a little dizzy, and he sat on the ground casually, and after relieving for a while, he didn't look up at the old man, but said
"When I was hunted down a few days ago, senior, you should have noticed it, right?"
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, coughed twice, and said with some dissatisfaction
"Of course the ancestor can see it clearly."
"Then why don't you help, old man?"
"What do you little guy think? You were in the Xundi array at that time, and the ancestor had to weigh it when he was there in his heyday, not to mention that now the ancestor was just pinning a wisp of soul on you to save you? It's not easy to say, and isn't there a Taoist priest behind you who rescued you? You little guy, what are you angry with your ancestors? ”
The old man looked up at Zhou Budo and looked at him with some anger on his face, so that he had to explain to Zhou Budo.
After listening to the old man's explanation, Zhou Budo's anger gradually subsided, and he muttered to himself
"What the hell, Lord Sword Saint was able to kill all the way from Nanli to Chengdu City back then, but you old man can't do it, just say that the ancestor is the apprentice you taught."
Zhou Budo's voice when he said this not only did not lower it, but raised it a few tones, as if he was deliberately saying it to this old man.
The old man's face suddenly couldn't hold back, thinking that the ancestor was actually looked down upon by you, a little guy.
"You little guy, didn't the ancestor say everything, he couldn't shoot at that time, there was still a touch of divine power in the eyes of Xundi, and the ancestor just had a touch of spirit, if he rescued you there, the ancestor would have to pay a lot of price, and also, your current wind is uneven, can he compare with the ancestor? What was the situation with him at that time, you little guy, alas, don't say it, the ancestor said that you little guy can't understand, and you have to fight with the ancestor. ”
Zhou Budo squinted at the old man, and said a little sullenly
"What do you have to say today? Let me go out if it's okay, I want to get some more sleep. ”
When the old man heard this, he stood up angrily, walked up to Zhou Budo angrily, pointed at Zhou Budo with a finger trembling slightly, and reprimanded Zhou Budo with hatred
"You little guy, why don't you know how to study hard? Tell me how long it's been since you've awakened the martial arts mark? It's been two months since you haven't tempered your internal strength, tell me what you want to do? Still sleeping back, do you really want to make the ancestor angry to death? ”
Zhou Budo pursed his lips and replied nonchalantly
"It's easy to say, how to temper internal strength and no one told me, how do I know what to do, besides, I was in Dongxun before, Brother Kumu, they said that it is not too late to cultivate after I return to Nanli, I am not in a hurry, what are you doing in a hurry?"
The old man gritted his teeth, he now wanted to continue to reprimand Zhou Budo, but he didn't know what words to find to continue to reprimand Zhou Budo, after all, what this little guy said was also right, he was in that country called Dongxun before, and it was inconvenient to temper his internal strength, tsk, it was wrong to look at it like this?
No, this little guy is so talented, and he is still so young, it is the time to study and practice hard, he can't take a day off, no, no, the ancestor can't stand this kind of talented junior actually told himself that he wants to go back to sleep, no, absolutely not, this thing will be lost to the ancestor's face.
Tsk, but how to temper the internal force?
The old man rolled his eyes, isn't there a lot of internal force? Do you still need to be tempered? Oh yes, it really seems to be tempered at first.
It's over, how did the ancestor forget how to temper the internal force.
The old man turned left and right for a long time, and finally stopped, cleared his throat, and said with a smile at Zhou Budo
"Then, you little guy just roll the calf, the ancestor is also a little tired today, the ancestor is also going to sleep in the cage, bye-bye, next time."
After that, Zhou Budo didn't react yet, the old man's sleeves waved, Zhou Budo only felt that his whole body was blown up by an overwhelming gust of wind, and when Zhou Budo opened his eyes again, he had already returned to his room.
"That old man, will you still be sleepy after sleeping for 10,000 years?"
As soon as Zhou Budo finished saying this, he couldn't help but shudder, and then he remembered, maybe the old man was listening to what he said now.
I have to do it, I don't think about anything, I didn't sleep well after a nightmare last night, so let's continue to sleep.
Zhou Budo put aside the thoughts in his head, turned over directly to the bed, covered the quilt, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep again.
But what Zhou Budo didn't know was that just outside his door, the porter Lao Zhang and Ji Wuying were watching Zhou Budo fall asleep thoughtfully through the window.
"Shizi, did you really call your wife's name in your dream last night?"
Ji Wuying's face was a little ugly, and he dragged Lao Zhang with one hand, and the two walked to a place some distance away from the house, and continued to ask Lao Zhang in a low voice
"Don't hear me wrong."
Lao Zhang's face was also good, and he couldn't see where to go, and replied
"Last night I stayed outside the door of His Royal Highness the Prince, for fear that something would disturb His Royal Highness's rest, I am old, but not enough to be behind my ears, the name of the lady, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has called no less than ten times."
Ji Wuying turned his back to the porter Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang couldn't see what Ji Wuying's expression looked like at this time, and only heard Ji Wuying say
"No one else knows about this, right?"
"Naturally, no."
Ji Wuying breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said in a slower tone
"That's good, I won't report this matter to Your Majesty, Lord Zhou, you can use your discretion, I can't say anything about this matter, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's mother's affection is humane, and the old man can't express any opinions."
"There is one more thing that called you here today, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has now returned to his home, what should the white-faced scholar do? You can't arrange it to be in the palace, right? ”
Ji Wuying turned to face Lao Zhang again, patted Lao Zhang's shoulder, and said
"It's up to you to deal with this matter, but old man, I believe that you guy shouldn't be so ruthless as to kick the white-faced scholar out of the palace, right?"
The porter Lao Zhang glared at Ji Wuying, and when he saw Ji Wuying looking at him with a smile, Lao Zhang was suddenly deflated, nodded reluctantly and said
"Okay, okay, then let the white-faced scholar stay in the palace for a while, but you, the old man, have to promise me that when he recovers, he will definitely take him away, otherwise, the fight between the two of us many years ago has not been finished yet, and I don't mind continuing it."
Hearing this, Ji Wuying was immediately stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said
"Don't don't, don't, the old man knows, he must be, as long as the white-faced scholar is cured, the old man will take him away, he must take him away, you can rest assured, you can rest assured."
After that, Ji Wuying ran away as soon as he slipped away, for fear that the porter Lao Zhang would suddenly drag him and prevent him from leaving, just like he had to fight with him, obediently, the old man is a doctor, don't call the old man for this kind of thing.
The porter looked at Ji Wuying's back, and couldn't help laughing, this old man, as funny and cute as ever, is so old, I didn't think it was still like this, I don't know if I should say that he has childlike fun? It's still childlike, it's really enviable.
At the same time, in the dim dark room in Jinling City, Feng Buping sat behind the table, looking coldly at Kumu with a serious face.
"This time I went to Dongxun, it looks like you have gained something, four products, good."
Kumu's face was grim, neither humble nor arrogant, and he replied
"It's just a fluke, the master praised it."
Feng Buping's eyes turned into love in the blink of an eye, and he chuckled, Kumu was able to break through to the level of a fourth-grade monk so smoothly, which was unexpected for him, and his best initial expectation was that Kumu would return to Jinling after performing this mission It would take a while to break through, but it didn't come to pass, but Kumu broke his expectations.
"Okay, don't be modest, it's rare in the world to enter the fourth grade at such an age, and you can't do it when you are your age."
Kumu lowered his head slightly, the credit for all this was due to Qi Wuxian's Nine Grass Jade Dew Pill, without that Nine Grass Jade Dew Pill, how could he have broken through to the fourth grade, and it was still so easy.
"Old Taoist Mude, what do you think of him?"
Feng Buping asked Kumu, the old Taoist priest Mude, or the Kumu group introduced to him and his father-in-law, it just so happens that he can also get some of their evaluation of Mude from Kumu's mouth, after all, he and his father-in-law have not seen Mude for so many years.
Kumu frowned slightly, and began to think about this question for a short time, and after thinking for a while, Kumu spoke
"Very strong, the apprentice feels that the cultivation of Mude's predecessors, even if it is at that level, is enough to rank among the best, even if the apostle has seen many seniors with the master, but the pressure on the apprentices like Mude's predecessors, the apprentices have only experienced it in a few seniors."
"That's natural, Mu De, after all, he is still the person who has the best chance to step into a higher level in Dongxun back then, even when he was a teacher, he didn't dare to underestimate him, the old bald donkey of Iron Arrow should be the same level of person as Mu De."
Kumu nodded, he also agreed with his master's words, indeed, when he first saw the old Taoist Mude, the feeling that the old Taoist Mude gave him was only bottomless, and this feeling was exactly the same as the feeling he had when he first saw the Iron Arrow Zen Master.
"Bitter Chill Sword, how's it going?"
Feng Buping glanced at the Bitter Cold Sword on Kumu's waist, his eyes were slightly condensed, Qi Wuxian They couldn't see the change in the Bitter Cold Sword, but when it came to Feng Buping, when he saw it at first sight, Feng Buping noticed that the state of the Bitter Cold Sword was obviously completely different from that of two months ago.
Kumu pressed one hand on the hilt of the bitter cold sword, and the secret path really deserved to be his master, this subtle change, even if he was the owner of the bitter cold sword, it took a while to gradually find out, but his master noticed it at a glance from a distance.
"Bitter Cold Sword, the chill is even more..."
"Your palms are getting used to it, aren't you?"
Kumu raised his head suddenly, looked at his master in surprise, and saw that his master was looking at him with a smile on his face, Kumu hurriedly asked
"Yes, master, what's going on?"
Although Feng Buping was smiling, the smile quickly faded, and he said in a somewhat uncertain tone
"The specific reason for the teacher is not certain, but now, you should leave the Bitter Cold Sword here for a while, and then wear it, the chill of the Bitter Cold Sword will only intensify, and sooner or later the chill will swallow your palm."
Without any hesitation, Kumu directly untied the bitter cold sword, placed it on the table in front of the wind plane, and then retreated to the position where he had just stood.
"Bitter Cold Sword, I didn't really want you to use this sword as the main sword at the beginning, but since you have made up your mind, it is not easy for you to intervene as a teacher, and you should have seen the Fusang bow that suddenly smiled, right?"
Kuki nodded.
Feng Buping paused and continued
"The origin of the Fusang bow is also somewhat similar to the bitter cold sword, but the Fusang bow did not bring you such a backlash to Kudixiao, because the previous owner of the Fusang bow had completely tamed the Fusang bow, and the bitter cold sword, guessed by the teacher, should also be because of this reason."
Kuki opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but began to hesitate again.
Feng Buping noticed the change in the bitter wood, stretched out a hand, and said
"If you have anything to say, say it."
"Apprentice, apprentice thinks, if the Bitter Cold Sword is really for this reason, the apprentice hopes that the master can hand over the Bitter Cold Sword to the apprentice, and the apprentice hopes to tame the Bitter Cold Sword through his own ability."
Feng Buping raised his eyebrows, he could see the firmness in Kumu's eyes when he said this, Kumu's temperament, he understood, even if he hit the south wall, he would not look back, Feng Buping could only sigh and said helplessly
"Okay, the teacher agreed, if the bitter cold sword is really as good as the Fusang bow, let you tame the bitter cold sword yourself, but, Mu'er, do you have to know that the person who tamed the Fusang bow at the beginning is also a nine-grade monk in cultivation, and he is only one step away from entering a higher level, even so, according to rumors, that person almost lost his life before he successfully tamed the Fusang bow, Mu'er, can you, think about it?"
Kuki nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, you should have understood as a teacher, you kid is also this character, okay, along the way, what else do you have to say to your teacher?"
As soon as Feng Buping finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and continued
"By the way, I almost forgot to be a teacher, Mu'er, the wordless sword book that is not doubtful, how are you taught?"
Kumu stepped forward and walked a few steps, and came to Feng Buping, about the matter of Zhou Budo's awakening of the martial arts mark to usher in the blessing of the highest-grade gods, he just took this opportunity to inform Feng Buping.
After whispering to the wind, Kuki took a few steps back.
At this time, Feng Buping's eyes widened, and he asked in a trembling tone
"Mu'er, what you said, but, it's all true?"
"The apprentice was there."
"Who else knows about this?"
"Those who follow the disciples on their mission know about it, but they don't know about the blessing."
Feng Buping swallowed his saliva, this matter was undoubtedly a huge shock to him, if Kumu's breakthrough through the fourth grade had broken his expectations, then Zhou Budo's things were enough to make his jaw drop in shock.
Is this kind of thing really something that people can do?
There are no ancients before, no one after that, in the cognition of the uneven wind, whether it is pushed forward even if it is 5,000 years, the era when the Suiren clan is active, the Suiren clan was amazing and glamorous at the beginning, and there is no such talent as Zhou Budo, right?
Immediately, Feng Buping realized the importance of this matter, as Nanli Sword Saint, the current Zhou Budo has undoubtedly become a person that Nanli must keep for Nanli, because of Zhou Budo's talent, even Feng Buping dare not imagine what kind of shocking appearance Zhou Budo will be when he grows up.
Qi has no hatred, Jinyi Wei Qianhu, the cronies of the father-in-law, can be trusted.
Suddenly, he laughed, the apprentice of the old bald donkey with iron arrows, plus the things Mu'er said, this junior can also be trusted.
Black thirteen, Dun Yi boy once held a hand in physical cultivation, well, I can also trust it, and I will check this person's background in the future.
I can't tell Your Majesty about this yet, no, no one can tell me.
Now at this juncture, his plan is a critical step, at this time Zhou Budo's matter broke out, it is inevitable that some mistakes will be made, or wait until the end of the war, after the plan is completed, and then tell Dun Yi that kid how important his baby son is to my Nanli.
That woman, Lone underestimated you, originally Lone thought that what you did was just a small fight, only the matter in Shangzhou could be on the stage, but you gave birth to me Nanli without doubt, just this matter, Lone just looked away.
"Mu'er, you, go down first, Qingtan girl, I haven't seen you for so long, I talk to you every day, let's go and talk to her, as a teacher, you have to think about this matter carefully."
Kumu bowed, turned around and pushed open the secret door, and exited the dark room.
On the side, after Kumu withdrew, the secret door was closed again, and the Iron Arrow Zen Master walked out of the dark curtain on the side, looking at the wind with some emotion.
"Zhou Budo, this kid is beyond your imagination, right?"
"Well, at that time, I didn't doubt the wordless sword score, but it was just a whim, and I didn't expect that my talent was so shocking."
The Iron Arrow Zen Master shook his head with a smile and continued
"You, you, look at your apprentice, they are all fourth-grade monks, my family laughs and can't get out of bed now."
At this time, after knowing what Suddenly Xiao did for Zhou Budo, Feng Buping had no intention of making fun of the Iron Arrow Zen Master as usual, so he just replied lightly
"So what, suddenly laugh at him, since he has the courage to make such a move, you old bald donkey don't steal the joy in your heart."
"Okay, okay, it's me stealing fun, Xiao'er he still knows the general situation, originally I thought that Xiao'er would be a little naïve, but judging from Zhou Budo's actions in this matter, he is a master who wants to be a master, Xiao'er he, after this mission, his heart is also a lot better."
"At least, the position of the hidden dragon list, he can mention it."
When the Iron Arrow Zen Master heard Feng Buping say this, he made a joke, and then asked Feng Buping with a chuckle
"Then since the Hidden Dragon List has been mentioned, you shouldn't think about when to hand over the identity of the first Hidden Dragon to Kumu? Tut-tut, Shen Baoxu is not an opponent, I can tell you, I have heard a lot of rumors about this junior of the Shen family, his identity as the first hidden dragon in Dongxun is really beaten with his own strength, which is like you, a master, just refuses to let go, and hands over the position of the first hidden dragon to his apprentice. ”
Feng Buping smiled embarrassedly, but there was also a touch of pride on his face, about Kumu's defeat of Shen Baoxu, his face was very bright, the Iron Arrow Zen Master had heard the rumors of Shen Baoxu, how could he not hear it, Shen Baoxu's strength, in his imagination, Kumu was on a par with him, at most it was a slight upper hand.
But just like breaking through the cultivation, this expectation of his own was also broken.
"This matter, it was because Cheng Qian was in retreat, and he thought about waiting until Cheng Qian had a battle with Mu'er after he came out of the customs, and then decided on the title of the first hidden dragon, but now it seems that the gap between Cheng Qian and Mu'er has become like a cloud of mud, plus Kumu worshiped the first hidden dragon in Dongxun, so the title of the first hidden dragon in Nanli should also be officially handed over to him."
