Chapter 20: Under the Cloudy Mountain
When Su Lian returned to the inn, Cheng Mo was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and did not lie down to sleep, it seemed that he had begun to guard the duty of an entourage, and he did not dare to let Su Lian serve him.
When Cheng Mo saw Su Lian coming back, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Childe, I think I'm almost fine, let me do this kind of errand in the future......"
Su Lian smiled: "How can it be so fast, I am a doctor, and I am your son, you listen to me now, it is estimated that we will be on the road tomorrow." ”
"Oh, good son!" Cheng Mo bowed his head and agreed.
This time I went to the pharmacy, Su Lian bought some wild ginseng, black chicken, angelica, rehmannia and other tonics, mainly to let Cheng Mo's body replenish the yuan and return blood, improve the spleen and stomach. He handed over the medicine to the shopkeeper to boil, and asked Cheng Mo to take off his clothes and bandage, and continue to do "distillation therapy".
When Cheng Mo bandaged it again and drank the medicine boiled by the shopkeeper, it was already noon. Su Lian went out to get some food, and asked the shopkeeper to boil some porridge, and let Cheng Mo eat the black chicken soup and a few buns. Cheng Mo was very cooperative, he ate all the things Su Lian made, and his complexion really improved a lot. At dinner, he directly ate the whole roast chicken brought back by Su Lian, and drank no porridge left, which stunned Su Lian, and secretly muttered to himself that he didn't know if he could afford to raise this entourage with such a big appetite.
When he went to bed at night, Cheng Mo didn't sleep in bed anyway, even though Su Lian said that it was good for him to meditate and rest, and he could practice, Cheng Mo still didn't obey and insisted on sleeping on the ground.
Su Lian had no choice but to sit on the bed. He saw Cheng Mo lying on the ground, while he sat on the bed, a little crying and laughing. Cheng Mo scrupulously guarded the identity of his entourage and did not dare to overstep, and Su Lian had no choice.
The next day, the sun was shining. Cheng Mo was really able to get up normally, he moved freely, his face returned to ruddy, and his strength was gradually recovering. Su Lian was also happy for him in his heart, and went to retreat early in the morning, continuing to march towards the cloudy mountain in the north.
Cheng Mo heard that Su Lian was going to Duoyun Mountain, so he said that he had followed his master on a tour before, and he knew how to get to that place, and he saved a lot of things along the way. The two of them walked and toured, and Su Lian finally saw Cheng Mo's power.
Cheng Mo's body recovered quickly, and he followed Su Lian step by step along the way, and he did not look tired. He not only knows some shortcuts on the road, but also can talk about the local customs, which places have what characteristics, and what powerful historical figures, he is like a treasure, and he can tell them all. And along the way, he can also find a lot of game, such as hares, mountain boars, coyotes, all of which are beaten by his homemade wooden bow, and even more, he can catch a few big fish directly down the river. Su Lian was surprised by him from time to time, although he had a huge appetite, but he did not eat and drink for nothing to rely on Su Lian to feed, along the way, Su Lian saved a lot of dry food, all of which were eaten by him and brought back the delicacies and game.
After about three days, they passed through Luotian and Yingshan, and finally reached the southern foot of Duoyun Mountain.
Daba Mountain as a whole is in the southeast to northwest direction, stretching for more than 600 miles, with countless deep ravines and high mountains. Cloudy Mountain is just one of them, located in the southeast, the mountain is high and steep, and it belongs to the relatively high mountain in Daba Mountain. There are rocks and trees in the mountains, and it is very difficult to find the hidden cottage from the inside.
Su Lian stood at the bottom of the mountain, looking at the mountains and deep forests in front of him, at a loss. He asked Cheng Mo, and Cheng Mo didn't know that there was a village in this mountain, he had only passed by this mountain in the past, and had not climbed up, so he didn't know how to go up. At this time, it was noon, Su Lian stayed for a long time, and he didn't see anyone coming out of the mountain, and his hope of asking someone was disappointed by the way.
"Let's go! Moving up in the world! Su Lian made up his mind and said, he always has to go up, take care of him three seven twenty-one, raise his feet and leave. Cheng Mo naturally followed, and since they came out of the Huangmei County Inn, Cheng Mo grabbed Su Lian's bag and carried it on his back, Su Lian couldn't help it, so he let him carry it along the way.
Although the mountains are high and the forests are deep, there are still roads. I didn't know if it was the people in the village or the woodcutter who went into the mountain came out, so Su Lian followed this road up.
"Cheng Mo, I have always forgotten to ask you, who is your master?" Su Lian asked as he walked.
Cheng Mo said very little along the way, as his name suggests, Su Lian asked what he answered, and rarely took the initiative to speak. At this time, Su Lian asked, and he replied: "Childe, in fact, I don't know the name of the master and his old man. He didn't tell me, and I didn't dare ask. I don't even know how old he is......"
"This is too outrageous, isn't it, isn't your master an immortal in the sky?" Su Lian said with a smile.
"Probably, his old man has a white beard, but there are no wrinkles on his face, and he looks like he is only in his forties. Moreover, he rarely eats......" Cheng Mo replied solemnly.
Su Lian didn't look like he was joking, Cheng Mo was very strict in his speech, he didn't smile, he shouldn't be nonsense, but he said it was really incredible. Su Lian shook his head and smiled: "Don't you dare to say that he doesn't actually eat......?" ”
"Uh...... Anyway, I haven't seen him eat at the old man's house......" Cheng Mo thought about it before saying.
Su Lian smiled bitterly, couldn't believe it, and sighed: "Have you been following him?" Including sleeping and resting all in one place? ”
Cheng Mo thought about it again and said, "Practice during the day, and the masters are all there. As for resting at night, I don't know where the master is, anyway, every day when I wake up, the master is next to me......"
"Could it be that you sleep like a dead pig at night, and you never wake up in the middle of the night to find that the master is not there?" Su Lian asked with a narrow smile.
Cheng Mo shook his head and said, "No, I have always slept well, ten years like a day." After thinking about it, he said, "But when I go home, sometimes I can't sleep at night...... I think it's strange ......."
Su Lian couldn't imagine ten years like a day, and asked, "What did your master teach you?" I've seen it in the past two days, and you're nimble and agile, but you don't have any routines at all......"
Cheng Mo finally smiled: "The master also said that he would not teach me serious kung fu, in addition to hunting every day, I fought with the master, and the master told me that the most important thing is that the heart moves at will, and the eyes are in hand, when it reaches this level, it is to learn his Yicheng." ”
Su Lian thought that he was also on the road. It turned out that Cheng Mo was also a wild man, and he smiled and said, "Then are you considered to have learned from him now?" ”
Cheng Mo shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be yet, the master asked me to come back, just because he knew that something would happen to my family." I don't think I have learned from him yet......"
The two of them said that they had been climbing for more than half an hour. I guess I've climbed halfway up the mountain at this time, right? Su Lian thought about it, breathed a sigh of relief, did not continue Cheng Mo's topic, and looked around, there were mountains and rocks, trees with large roots and deep roots, and there were many kinds of strange flowers and plants. There are more trees and flowers in this area than at the foot of the mountain.
"This mountain is rich in resources, and it's strange that there isn't even a woodcutter......" Su Lian said a little frustrated, he couldn't find someone to ask for directions.
"This also shows that there must be someone on this mountain who occupies the mountain, and the idle people dare not come in......," Cheng Mo guessed.
Su Lian nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense!" Let's keep climbing, and we won't stop until we reach the top of the mountain! ”
The two of them climbed for another half an hour, and suddenly their eyes suddenly became open, as if they had reached a mountain col. There are no big trees in a hundred square feet, only strange rocks and weeds.
Su Lian looked a little relaxed, this place was surrounded by big trees, the ground was flat, and there were big stones to block the wind, so it was best to camp and rest. He saw that although the sun was sinking in the west, it was only the end of the day at this time, and it was still too early to rest, so he couldn't help but feel a little conflicted in his heart, did he really want to climb to the top of the mountain for the night?
He stepped on the soft grass, walked a few steps, and suddenly became alert, and at this moment, a "whoosh" hit the air......
