Volume 1 Entering the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 2 He Lei
By the pond, Zhou Zheng's face turned dark, it was noon at this time, and now they should have been on the way to Yuancheng, but Li Muhong and Xu Bin were lying on the ground.
If it weren't for Xu Bin's earth-shattering snoring, maybe Zhou Zhengdu might not have been able to find them so quickly, who would have thought that these two people wouldn't sleep in the middle of the night and run to the edge of the pond to drink?
Li Muhong didn't know if he was woken up by the snoring sound, or if the dragonfly on his nose was too annoying, so he frowned and opened his eyes, but then he was frightened, looked at the stick in Zhou Zheng's hand, and immediately got up and stood up, and said.
"Master, you're here."
"I can't come, old man, if I don't come, I'm afraid you'll have to sleep until night."
After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he slapped a stick on Xu Bin, Xu Bin was in pain, and scolded in a daze.
"Damn, who is not afraid of death dares to disturb your Grandpa Zhou's sleep."
As soon as he said this, he regretted it, and saw that Zhou Zheng, who was full of black lines, swung dozens of sticks, each of which could hit Xu Bin's meaty place, and he suffered more than half of his buttocks alone.
Li Muhong, who was watching from the sidelines, thought to himself.
"It must have hurt."
After a while, the two of them had already packed up and followed Zhou Zheng to Yuancheng.
Xu Bin limped down the road and muttered.
"Dead old man, didn't you just drink some wine, as for it?"
When Li Muhong heard this, he hurriedly pushed Xu Bin with his elbow and whispered.
"You keep quiet, if the master hears it, you will have to suffer again."
Xu Bin pursed his mouth and said disdainfully.
"Cut, just let the old man hear, or I'll tell someone to hear."
The corners of Li Muhong's mouth twitched, knowing that something was wrong, he secretly moved a few steps to the other side to avoid being affected by the pond fish.
At this time, Zhou Zheng suddenly turned around and showed a kind smile, but before he could speak, Xu Bin lay on the ground and wailed, which made Li Muhong stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what was going on.
"You two, who can't keep up with me later, who won't have anything to eat at night."
After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he drew a formation casually, and a gust of wind rolled up his body and flew forward, incredibly fast, until this time, Li Muhong didn't know why Xu Bin was lying on the ground and rolling.
Li Muhong didn't dare to delay, the meridians in his body instantly operated, and streams of aura flowed in the meridians, although he couldn't enter the dantian, but with this meridian acupoint that was all over his body, the speed of operation was also shocking.
In the Central Plains Qi practitioners, the strength is mainly reflected in four aspects, one of which is the penetration of the meridians and acupoints in the body, this mainly depends on talent, the average Qi practitioner may only be able to get through three or four out of ten in a lifetime, and the people who can get through all of them have only talked about a few people since ancient times.
The number of meridians and points is related to the length of a person's breath, and the more meridians, the longer the breath will be. There was once a Wei Xian, who was a person who penetrated all the meridians and acupoints, and was described by such a poem.
"The Taotao River flows for 20,000 miles, which is comparable to Wei Xian's breath."
Zhou Zheng, who was still lying on the ground, wanted to cry without tears, thinking.
"I'm pretending to be so similar, how much do you pay attention to me, and you have no conscience Li Muhong, I also helped you steal the wine, you don't wait for me."
I thought about it, but I still had to eat, besides, he came here like this all the way, and he was used to it, and then he turned over and got up, and chased forward.
Don't look at Xu Bin's usual appearance, but he still has some strength, with the blessing of the exercises, he is very fast when he runs, and he catches up with Li Muhong in a few breaths.
At first, Xu Bin still thought about running slower and waiting for him, but after a while, he didn't think so, he found that although Li Muhong couldn't practice the exercises, but with the acupoints and meridians that were all opened, the aura in his body was actually enduring, and he didn't see exhaustion, you must know that these were the aura he absorbed while running.
Although Li Muhong relies on this to give himself extraordinary endurance, the shortcomings are also obvious, there is no explosive power, as long as Xu Bin is willing to mobilize the aura in the sea of qi to run the exercises with all his might, I am afraid that it will not take long for Li Muhong to not even look at his back.
In this way, two hours passed, the sky was completely dark, Li Muhong was already tired and panting, sweating, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was exhausted until now, and he may faint in the next second.
Xu Bin, on the other hand, was much better, only sweating slightly, but there was not much aura left in his body.
At this time, Zhou Zheng at the front stopped, looked at Xu Bin and said with a smile.
"You go and carry him on your back."
After saying that, he continued to ride the wind.
"Cut, I still use you to say, I'm the righteous Xu Ye of Bo Yuntian!"
Although Xu Bin's words were good, he still pursed his lips and reluctantly carried Li Muhong on his back.
Li Muhong was already in a half-dazed state at this time, and he was recited for a while before he reacted, and he blushed and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a better word, so he could only say in a twisted and pinched manner.
"Senior brother, you are so nice."
If it were replaced by other five big and three rough old men who spoke like this, Xu Bin would throw him off his body, but Li Muhong was so beautiful that Xu Bin didn't feel a little disgusting, but was still a little proud, maybe the first time he saw Li Muhong, he had a different emotion for him in his heart, but he kept running away.
After a while, Xu Bin was already tired and speechless, after Li Muhong was on his back, the spiritual power was consumed more and more rapidly, and it didn't take long for the spiritual energy to be exhausted.
Finally, after seeing the bonfire in front of him, Zhou Zheng stopped.
Seeing that Zhou Zheng was no longer in a hurry, Xu Bin put Li Muhong on his back aside, and then lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
At the edge of the campfire, a father and daughter sat a pair of men who looked like hunters in makeup, estimated to be in their forties, with a sad face, holding a bow and arrow, staring at them cautiously.
The girl, who looked to be about fourteen years old, had red and swollen eyes from crying, and was hiding behind a tree, not daring to make her head.
Zhou Zheng saw that this situation was not right, so he pinched his fingers and said.
"Old man, I have a relationship with you and women, if you are not mistaken, you will be robbed tomorrow."
The hunter was stunned, then threw himself to his knees and cried.
"Ask the Immortal Chief for help!"
Zhou Zheng helped the hunter up and chuckled.
"I'm not an immortal, just an ordinary old man, you tell me first, what's going on."
When the hunter heard this, he was overjoyed, and like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, he hurriedly pulled out the little girl who was hiding behind a tree, and said.
"Quick, kneel down and kowtow to your benefactor and thank you!"
The little girl was obviously a little overwhelmed and didn't understand what was going on, but she was very obedient and knelt down to kowtow to Zhou Zheng and said.
"Thanks, Thanksgiving."
This little girl's voice is very good, even if she says something stumbling, it is very comfortable to listen to, and this timid appearance inevitably makes people feel pity.
Zhou Zheng asked the father and daughter to sit down, and pointed to Li Muhong and Xu Bin behind him.
They are my disciples, young but very skilled.
Li Muhong and Xu Bin, who were lying on the side, had already rested, and when they saw Zhou Zheng mentioning them, they also got up and walked to the bonfire and sat down.
Xu Bin had been paying attention to the two of them before, and he would never give up any opportunity to perform in front of girls, so he said openly.
"My name is Xu Bin, just tell me anything, it's my generation's duty to be chivalrous and righteous."
"My name is Li Muhong."
Although Li Muhong was also very attentive to them, he didn't say much, just reported his name, and then smiled at the father and daughter.
Seeing this, the hunter also introduced himself and the little girl.
"My name is He Lei, and this is my daughter, He Lingling."
Zhou Zheng nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"We live in Yuancheng, her mother died early, I single-handedly pulled him up, and I took her with me all the time. But this morning, when we went to sell animal skins, the beast of the Ale family took a fancy to Lingling and wanted to take her as a maid. ”
When He Lei said this, He Lingling trembled, and tears fell one by one.
When Xu Bin saw this, he comforted him on the side.
"Don't be afraid, there is a brother to protect you."
But Li Muhong was very puzzled, what kind of person could scare He Lingling like this.
He Lei seemed to sense Li Muhong's doubts, and then explained.
"You are not from Yuancheng, you don't know what that beast did, he is the second young master of the Ale family, if you fall in love with that girl, you will accept her as a maid, if you don't obey, you will be forcibly taken home, saying that it is a maid, in fact, the beast does not treat them as human beings at all, and within three days, they will be tortured to death."
After listening to He Lei's words, the surprised Li Muhong asked.
"Does the government care?"
Hearing Li Muhong ask about the government, He Lei couldn't hold back his anger anymore and gritted his teeth.
"Counting on that dog officer? Has he done less bullying of men and women? ”
Li Muhong has been stupid, the world he knows is all in books, and Li Li did not let him get in touch with these gloom too early, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and understood Li Li's words before he died for the first time.
"Give the people a peace!"
Xu Bin was also furious at this time, smashed his fist on the trunk of the tree, and immediately smashed a thigh-thick tree alive, and roared.
"See if I don't slaughter those beasts!"
But Zhou Zheng was full of black lines, Xu Bin's impatient temper didn't cause him much trouble, so he said calmly.
"Don't be reckless, this matter needs to be considered in the long run."
Although He Lei was frightened by Xu Bin just now, he was even more sure that they were not mortals, and his heart became more and more excited, he originally just wanted to beg Zhou Zheng and the three of them to take him and his daughter to escape, but he didn't expect that these three people wanted to get rid of the second young master directly, so they struck while the iron was hot and continued.
"The walled city is not far away, and we just ran out of the city."
Of course, Zhou Zheng knew where Yuancheng was, and they were going to rush to Yuancheng, because he needed to confirm whether that person was safe now, and by the way, he asked for a few good weapons.
