Chapter 2: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
Zhaojiazhuang, the owner's house.
In a spacious hall, Zhao Yiming knelt on the ground, looking at the white-haired old man with an angry face in front of him, he was very apprehensive and uneasy.
This is his grandfather, that is, Zhao Xiong, the owner of Zhaojiazhuang.
Next to Zhao Xiong stood two middle-aged men and a one-armed young man, they were Zhao Yiming's eldest uncle Zhao Xiangde and second uncle Zhao Xiangrong, and his cousin Zhao Feiyu.
"Yiming, you are already sixteen years old, you are not a child, why are you still so ignorant, are you qualified to enter the Great Dragon Mountain Range?"
Uncle Zhao Xiangde reprimanded him sternly beside him.
Zhao Yiming has always been afraid of this perennial serious uncle, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"In my opinion, this kid will go to the house to uncover the tiles without beating for three days, and just give me a beating. Second uncle Zhao Xiangrong had a hot temper, he glared at Zhao Yiming, rolled up his sleeves and was about to come over.
Zhao Yiming was startled, but fortunately, his cousin Zhao Feiyu helped him stop his second uncle.
"Second uncle, Yiming already knows that he is wrong, so spare him this time. Zhao Feiyu hurriedly said.
Grandfather Zhao Xiong, who was sitting directly above, looked at Zhao Yiming with majestic eyes, and scolded: "Son, don't you tell me quickly, why did you sneak into the mountain?
"I ......" Zhao Yiming hesitated and hesitated.
Zhao Xiangrong, the second uncle next to him, couldn't help it for a long time, he pushed his cousin away hard, grabbed Zhao Yiming's collar and lifted it up, and raised his other hand high, ready to fight.
Zhao Yiming was so frightened that he hurriedly said loudly: "I...... I just want to go in and find the elixir...... The mother said that the elixir could help her cousin's broken arm regenerate. ”
He lowered his head, and the voice became quieter when he said the rest of the day.
Inside the hall, there was a sudden silence.
Second uncle Zhao Xiangrong's palm stopped in mid-air and did not fall, but the anger on his face was gone.
Zhao Feiyu next to him was moved.
Uncle Zhao Xiangde's face is no longer so stern.
Grandfather Zhao Xiong's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, but then he put on a straight face and scolded: "Stupid, do you think that finding the elixir can make people regenerate their broken arms?"
Zhao Yiming was stunned, and couldn't help blurting out: "Isn't it okay to have elixir?
Zhao Feiyu broke his arm in order to save him, this is a knot in his heart, if he can't help his cousin recover his broken arm, he will feel guilty and uneasy for the rest of his life.
"Hey, you kid isn't even qualified to get the elixir, don't mention anything else, let's go home and wash and sleep." Second uncle Zhao Xiangrong put down Zhao Yiming and sneered.
Grandfather Zhao Xiong also waved his hand, and looked at Zhao Yiming with a calm face: "This time you have a reason, if you dare to sneak into the mountain again next time, I will break your legs." ”
Zhao Feiyu felt warm in his heart, he walked over and rubbed Zhao Yiming's hair: "Stupid, I said I don't blame you, and I also broke through the bottleneck because of that crisis and reached the Seven Heavens of the Martial Body Realm, which is also a blessing in disguise, you kid don't worry about me." ”
"Cousin......"
Zhao Yiming's eyes were red, and his heart was very uncomfortable, he knew that Zhao Feiyu said this to make himself not guilty, after all, who wants to lose an arm?
And it's the left arm!(→_→)
"Grandpa, just tell me, how can I regenerate my cousin's severed arm?"
Zhao Yiming looked at his grandfather Zhao Xiong with a pleading expression.
"You kid...... It's not endless, isn't it!" Zhao Feiyu rubbed Zhao Yiming's hair and scolded with a smile.
Zhao Yiming looked at his grandfather Zhao Xiong stubbornly and firmly.
Zhao Xiong looked at Zhao Yiming, and said in a deep voice: "A treasure medicine stronger than the elixir can make people reborn with a broken arm, our Zhaojiazhuang is a small place, and I only know that there is a treasure medicine that can make people reborn with a broken arm, and that is the Tianshan Snow Lotus." ”
"Tianshan Snow Lotus!"
Zhao Yiming's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Father!" Zhao Xiangde and Zhao Xiangrong next to him both looked at Zhao Xiong in surprise.
Zhao Xiong waved his hand, his eyes stared sharply at Zhao Yiming, and he snorted coldly: "Do you know where the mountain snow lotus was that day?"
Zhao Yiming smiled very smartly: "Of course it's in Tianshan." ”
"Do you know how high the Tianshan Mountain is? It is 30,000 meters high, covered with snow all year round, and the temperature at the top of the mountain is much lower than the cold pool in the Dalong Mountain Range. With your cultivation, don't say that you can't go up, even if you go up, you will be frozen to death. ”
Zhao Xiong sneered.
Zhao Yiming knew that his grandfather was deliberately trying to scare him, but he would not give up, so he asked: "Grandpa, just tell me directly, what kind of cultivation do I have before I can go to Tianshan Mountain to find Tianshan Snow Lotus." ”
Zhao Xiong's face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "We are all martial artists of the Martial Body Realm, but do you know? The Martial Body Realm is only the first realm of a martial artist, and it is the weakest martial artist. ”
"On top of the martial arts realm, there is also the Yuan Qi Realm, and the martial artists of the Yuan Qi Realm can condense the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, and the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth is indestructible, and can open mountains and crack stones. ”
"And above the Yuan Qi Realm, there is also the Divine Treasure Realm, and the martial artists who have reached the Divine Treasure Realm are even more powerful, they can fly with objects and kill enemies thousands of miles away. ”
......
Listening to his grandfather's eloquent words, Zhao Yiming only felt that his eyes were wide open, he had never thought that there were so many realms above the martial arts realm.
Because in their Zhaojiazhuang, even if it is the owner Zhao Xiong, it is only the Nine Heavens of the Martial Arts Realm.
In his mind, his grandfather has always been the strongest.
But today he realized that he had always been a frog at the bottom of the well.
"Yiming, if you want to go to the Tianshan Mountains to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus, you must at least become a martial artist in the Shenzang Realm. Zhao Xiong looked at the silent Zhao Yiming and said slowly.
"Grandpa, I see. Zhao Yiming left the hall dejectedly.
Divine Hidden Realm?
Hehe, in the villages near their Great Dragon Mountain Range, there is not even a single martial artist of the Yuan Qi Realm.
I'm afraid that Blackstone City, fifty kilometers away, will have such a strong person.
This shows how difficult it must be to reach the Divine Treasure Realm.
"Yiming, wait for me. ”
Zhao Feiyu saw that Zhao Yiming was not in a high mood, so he hurriedly followed, comforting Zhao Yiming along the way.
Zhao Xiangde looked at the back of Zhao Yiming leaving, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Father, you knocked him down this time." ”
Zhao Xiangrong next to him snorted: "That's good, save him and secretly run out to do some irrational things." ”
Zhao Xiong said in a deep voice: "We are all from the past, who doesn't have a young and vigorous person? Let him suffer a little blow, if he can figure it out, he will work hard to cultivate, if he can't figure it out, at least he will stay in the Zhuangzi honestly, and save us trouble." ”
Zhao Xiangde and Zhao Xiangrong nodded, obviously understanding Zhao Xiong's good intentions.
......
On the bluestone road in Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Yiming hung his head and looked listless.
Zhao Feiyu frowned, Zhao Yiming's situation made him a little worried, he was worried that Zhao Yiming would collapse.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Feiyu suddenly shouted, "Zhao Yiming, do you still want to help me recover my broken arm?"
"Cousin?" Zhao Yiming looked up at Zhao Feiyu in confusion.
Zhao Feiyu snorted coldly: "Look at your current embarrassed appearance, with your state, how can you reach the Divine Hidden Realm?"
"Cousin, I'm ......" Before Zhao Yiming could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Feiyu, and he shouted: "I don't want to listen to you talk nonsense, you can give me cultivation now, immediately!"
"This ...... Okay, I'll go right away. Zhao Yiming smiled bitterly in his heart.
He knew that his cousin was deliberately provoking him and didn't want him to continue to be decadent.
......
After separating from his cousin, Zhao Yiming hurriedly ran to Zhaojiazhuang's martial arts training ground.
Facing the statue of the water god in the center of the martial arts training ground, Zhao Yiming sat down cross-legged.
His visualization has only now reached its initial level, so he has to face the statue of the god of water in order to enter the visualization state.
"Water God, I beg you, old man, you must bless me to improve my cultivation a little faster and reach the Divine Hiding Realm as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Yiming sat down cross-legged in front of the statue of the god of water, and prayed secretly in his heart before entering the state of visualization.
"Boom!"
A lifelike statue of the god of water was gradually built in his mind.
Zhao Yiming suddenly felt that the vitality of the heaven and earth around him began to slowly converge, nourishing his body.
However, at this very moment-
Zhao Yiming suddenly found that the statue of the water god he had visualized had cracks one after another, as if it was about to collapse.
"How is this possible?"
Zhao Yiming was shocked in his heart, he had been meditating since he was ten years old, and he had never missed a mistake.
"Boom ......"
Zhao Yiming suddenly felt a tremor in his mind, and a red and blue crown slowly rose from the broken statue of the god of water, releasing a blazing light.
At the same time, the surrounding heaven and earth aura was like a flood that had broken the embankment, converging towards Zhao Yiming's position, nourishing his body.
Looking at this red and blue crown, Zhao Yiming was suddenly dumbfounded.
