Chapter 18: Breathe in the Breath
The sky was bright, the wooden shed was covered with thick snow, and the little sparrows, shivering in the cold, got into the gap between the two of them, shrunk their little heads and slept soundly, and sometimes moved their little wings.
The paralysis on his body gradually faded, and he felt a little itchy in his neck, and Xu Buling woke up from his false sleep.
Zhongli Jiujiu still hugged him, his delicate and pretty face was buried a little because of the extremely cold weather in winter, his eyes were closed, his slender eyelashes did not move at all, and he didn't know whether he was closing his eyes or falling asleep.
Close to each other, the little sparrow shrunk between the two of them's chests, and the scene looked like two people hugging each other to protect a little sparrow.
As Xu Buling moved, Zhongli Jiujiu immediately opened her eyes, looked at each other, she fixed slightly, and then raised her hand to nudge Xu Buling's chest, turned over and sat up from the haystack.
Zhongli Jiujiu patted the blade of grass on the placket, but saw that on the placket of the blue and white skirt, there was a very star palm print, which should have been left by Xu Buling when he touched the hay and rubbed her hand again.
“……”
Zhongli Jiujiu's breathing was a little heavier, as if he was brewing words.
Xu Buling turned over and sat up, rubbed his shoulders and chest with some pain, his expression was gentle and elegant, and he said softly:
"Miss Jiujiu, I was injured and faint last night, and I don't know how to ...... It's really presumptuous. ”
???
Phew!
Zhongli Jiujiu was angry, his hair flicked back slightly, and his fox-like eyes were full of 'you and I am stupid' dissatisfaction.
However, if a woman's family is open and taken advantage of by a man, what can she do if she can't deal with it?
Zhongli Jiujiu obviously didn't want to mention last night's incident, and after glaring at Xu Buling for a moment, he stood up with his support on the ground and patted the blades of grass on his skirt:
"Hurry up, I have to serve you without food for a day, I'm starving......"
Xu Buling smiled kindly, and slapped his palm on the ground to get up. He was still undressed, and the wounds on his body were bandaged by strips of cloth on the hem of his skirt, and both of them looked a little embarrassed.
Zhongli Jiujiu got out of the wooden shed and glanced around, the barren mountains and mountains were all buried by snow, and even wild fruits could not be found, let alone human beings.
Zhongli Jiujiu let the little sparrow out, walked out of the snow ridge with one foot deep and one foot shallow, walked a few steps, looked back, Xu Buling followed behind, his pace was a little fluttering, it should be because he consumed too much and did not replenish his physical strength.
Zhongli Jiujiu had a headache, feeling that she shouldn't have chased after her, not to mention that she was taken advantage of, Xu Buling couldn't ignore the injuries she suffered in order to help her. She hesitated, but walked back, as she did last night, holding Xu Buling's arm between her shoulders, and counting:
"Xu Buling, I found out that there is something wrong with you. On the rivers and lakes, you pay attention to friends who are in trouble and stick a knife in the ribs without asking for anything in return, you don't care about running over to help me, I remember your feelings, and I am not informalized in order to save you. The result is good, you take advantage of the situation and move your hands and feet, so that I scold you not, thank you no, you call 'grace will revenge', you know? If you do this kind of thing on the rivers and lakes, you will definitely be scolded as the scum of the rivers and lakes......"
Xu Buling exhaled a white mist in the air, leaned on Zhongli Jiujiu's shoulder, and smiled helplessly:
"I said that last night was muddy, and no one can be a sage or a sage......"
"You-"
Seeing that Xu Buling did not admit his death and began to pretend to be a gentleman again, Zhongli Jiujiu had nothing to say, snorted lightly, and did not mention it.
Along the clear and transparent inlet of the Yanqi River, the two relied on each other, walked more than two miles of mountain roads, and came to the market on the edge of Longtan.
I don't know where the stone archway was built, four stone pillars were broken, and the middle collapsed, and the stones were scattered on the ground. The surrounding county magistrates heard the news, and came to Longtan Bazaar with the catcher and the concubine, and carried the body out of Tingquan Tower and covered it with a white cloth, but because the area around Shentangyu was the territory of Yanqi Villa, it was not easy to deal with, and they were waiting for the people of Yanqi Villa to come and collect the body.
Yanqi Villa killed the owner and the second master, and after hearing about it, a more terrifying fight broke out, obviously frightened, the entire villa was a shrunken turtle, and no one has come forward until now.
The Jianghu guests walking around heard the news, and some people came over to see the excitement, but yesterday's incident was a few shop guys hiding behind the door and glancing at a few times, and it was not clear who the three people who fought were for a while.
The dragon-patterned lance and Minghong knife inserted in the wall were still in their original positions, and no one dared to move. The two horses ran into the stable of a shop and waited for the owner to return, and the shop man did not dare to speak out for fear of offending people, and he seemed to feed the master fodder.
After Xu Buling came to the bazaar, he took some money from the horse and asked the guy to find food and clothes, and the shopkeeper saw Xu Buling's skills through the crack in the door yesterday, where did he dare to say more than half a word, so he honestly went to find it.
Zhongli Jiujiu also drank a cup of Longjing before the rain when he went to Shentangyu yesterday, his hands and feet were also soft, and he didn't talk to Xu Buling, looking at the excitement outside, and eating by himself.
Xu Buling consumed a lot, and rested for a while before relieving himself. With his extraordinary skills, he took the weapon back while people were not paying attention, turned over and continued his journey.
Zhongli Jiujiu sat on the big red horse and walked out of Shentangyu with Xu Buling, but did not go in the direction of Huangkou Town, but embarked on the road to Fanyang County.
Xu Buling is not surprised by this, the rivers and lakes value 'faith', and they will repay their eyes and repay their blood debts.
The information dealers on the rivers and lakes are in a neutral position, collect money to do things, do not pay attention to human feelings and do not have grudges, relying on this iron rule, in order to win the trust of the people in the rivers and lakes of the world, and are willing to pay money to trade with them.
If Yanqi Villa spends money to buy Zhongli Jiujiu's whereabouts, Liu Wu sells it to Yanqi Villa, which is reasonable in the rivers and lakes, and can only complain about Zhongli Jiujiu's whereabouts accidentally exposed, and he hasn't paid the hush money.
But Zhongli Jiujiu took out the silver to buy news from Liu Wu, and Liu Wu received the money, she was the guest, and used the trust of the guests to lead the guests to the enemy's territory, which was a big taboo on the rivers and lakes.
If Xu Buling hadn't arrived yesterday, Zhongli Jiujiu would have stepped into the encirclement of Yanqi Mountain Villa, even if the Lock Dragon Gu could escape with his body, wasting a bottle of priceless Lock Dragon Gu would be a great loss, and if he didn't escape, it would be needless to say.
Even if Xu Buling came, it also caused the matter of fighting Chen Daozi alone, and Xu Buling's injuries were counted as a share of the news mongers, and it was impossible to forget it.
Fanyang County is not close to Shentangyu, and it will not be possible to reach it until tomorrow at the earliest.
The two of them hurried up, rushed to the area of Xianghe County at dusk, found an inn in the county seat, and rested well for one night before setting off.
Xu Buling fought for a day, froze for another night, and took a cold shower, the last time he was so uncomfortable was when he fled to Chang'an from the banks of the Wei River. When I arrived at the inn, I asked the shopkeeper to boil hot water, filled the bath bucket with water, and soaked the whole person in the hot water, only to breathe a long sigh of relief.
There were a few swords poked on his body, but they all avoided the vital points, plus the top-level wound medicine prepared by Zhongli Jiujiu himself, the wound was currently scabbed, and there was a stinging sensation, but it was no longer harmless.
There were some noisy voices outside the inn, and it was getting dark, Xu Buling sat in the steaming barrel, looking at the few wounds on his body, frowning and reviewing yesterday's battle.
In Xu Buling's memories, there are quite a lot of records of fighting people, but nine out of ten are crushing abuse, and there are only three truly challenging fighting experiences.
The consequences of this are the same as when a master who is not bad for money encounters a problem, and if he can solve it with money, he will use money to solve it. Born with 'dragon tendon and tiger bone unicorn strength', when you meet an opponent, you can 'drop ten times with one force', and you won't think about so many twists and turns.
The habits he developed since he was a child have made him study and practice hard, and the martial arts moves he has practiced diligently are all extremely hegemonic paths such as Baji Boxing, Iron Wire Boxing, and Liuhe Gun, and he has not dabbled much in the number of ways to win by skill.
With his talent, most people can rely on their hard kung fu to get down, but once they meet that small number of masters who have practiced their skills to the extreme, there is obviously a problem.
First of all, the ghost Niangniang, the Ghost Niangniang itself is not high in martial arts, but relying on the cooperation of Qimen Dunjia, hidden weapons, etc., the ability to assassinate has been improved to the extreme, if it weren't for his keen six senses, I'm afraid he would really suffer in the hands of the Ghost Niangniang.
Xue Chengzhi is the same as him, and the gap in strength between them is relatively small, and Xue Chengzhi can't fight him, but his rich combat experience and trick-breaking skills make him unable to kill in a short time.
And after meeting Chen Daozi, the result is obvious. Chen Daozi is full of internal kung fu, and his fighting skills almost take him away, if he is not too conceited and chooses to hit hard, maybe the iron mountain will not be able to hit Chen Daozi.
This feeling is like a cannon bombarding mosquitoes, not that they can't be beaten, but that they can't be hit.
Obviously, three punches can hammer Chen Daozi to death, but if you hit it, you can't focus on it, and you can only take advantage of it by exchanging injuries for injuries, and the cost is too great.
At present, it seems that the 'external training of muscles and bones' has encountered a bottleneck, and it is necessary to study the 'internal training in one breath'.
Xu Buling sat in the bathtub and pondered for a moment, recalled the Wudang Dantian luck turnover method in his memory, and carefully adjusted his internal breath.
If you can fight with top martial artists, as long as you don't die, you will definitely benefit immensely. Although he was beaten, he learned a lot from Chen Daozi.
Xu Buling recalled the details of yesterday's battle, and when he was in the realm of selflessness, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Knock Knock –
