Day 5.

Zheng Ming took Ya'er's hand and struggled to move forward in the lush forest.

"Brother Ming, did you really catch the silverback fairy?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Zheng Ming's footsteps stopped for a moment. He turned around and pressed Ya'er's shoulder, and said with a serious face, "Of course." How could I lie to you? I'll show you there. ”

Ya'er hesitated for a moment, looked at the tattered and muddy grass clippings on her feet, and her face was full of embarrassment: "But...... It's too far from the village. If you go any further, you'll get lost. As he spoke, he looked at the winding path ahead.

"Rest assured. I've walked this road countless times. It's impossible to be mistaken. After Zheng Ming casually comforted him, he touched the small scratches left by the branches on the other party's face.

The danger of the two children in the forest can be imagined, even ordinary beasts, even herbivorous animals, can easily take their lives.

Although Zheng Ming had tried countless times in reincarnation and almost engraved the safe path in his muscles, he inevitably experienced some dangers.

"It's worth the little danger you go through."

After secretly reminding himself in his heart, Zheng Ming took Ya'er's hand and set off again.

Time passed quietly in the silent rush of the two.

"Brother Ming, why don't we go and see it another day." Ya'er pulled Zheng Ming's hand with a worried face, and pointed to the sky uneasily.

Zheng Ming stopped when he heard this, and looked up at her gaze.

I saw that the dark clouds in the sky were like huge monsters, stretching countless tentacles around, wriggling and heading straight for the top of their heads. The early summer morning, which should have been bright, became as dark as dusk in the blink of an eye. The originally cheerful sounds of birds and insects around them also seemed to have been affected and became depressed.

Naruto...... Brother Naru? As if taken by the sudden change in the surrounding scene, Ya'er timidly hugged Zheng Ming's arm, and her petite body continued to tremble slightly.

"Boom-roar-hiss-"

Suddenly, there was a loud roar in the sky, like the sound of the sky being torn apart, and like the long roar of a giant beast.

Ya'er, who was jumped by the sudden voice, suddenly screamed, collapsed on the ground, and hugged Zheng Ming's calf.

"Ya'er. Don't be afraid. I'm here. Time is running out, and we're going to pick up the pace. ”

When Zheng Ming saw the scene on the horizon, his expression moved, and he hurriedly helped Ya'er up and walked quickly towards the destination.

Eventually, after crossing the path blocked by grass and trees, the narrow and slender stone crevices, and the cliff wall less than two palms wide, Zheng Ming and Ya'er finally arrived in a hidden cave before the torrential rain.

It is a secluded cave away from the village. It is located deep in the crevice halfway up the cliff.

The cave is not big, but it is dry and not too heavy. The cave is covered with a layer of hay on which various foods are placed. Among them, bacon and wotou account for the majority, and there are also some grains, fruits and other things.

The food is surrounded by a circle of faintly fluorescent stones like night pearls, and under the light of the stones, although the cave is not as bright as in the daytime, it is still possible to barely see.

These are the results of Du Zhengming's hard work in preparing early and returning late these days.

"How's it going, Ya'er? It's okay here, right? ”

Ya'er ignored Zheng Ming, who opened his arms to show her the cave, and instead looked out of the gap with a worried face.

Thanks to the long and narrow nature of the gap, the water vapor and cold currents from outside did not pour into the cavern, but the sound of thunder and downpour could still be faintly heard.

"Brother Ming, what should I do? It was raining so hard that we couldn't go back. Abba, Grandma, will die if they find us gone. ”

At this time, Ya'er no longer bothered to ask about the trace of the silverback fairy, and her mind was already filled with worry.

However, what she didn't know was that Zheng Ming had deceived her to come here for the purpose of this.

"I'm sorry, Ya'er. There have been cases before where you didn't listen to me and ran away alone, resulting in death. ”

Zheng Ming's soft whisper came, the unfamiliar tone, and the emotions implied in it, which made a trace of fear rise in Ya'er's heart.

She hurriedly turned her head, just in time to see Zheng Ming, who was holding a rattan in both hands, slowly approaching her.

Ya'er kept falling backwards, eventually tripped over the hay on the ground and fell to the ground. She looked at Zheng Ming's unfamiliar expression, as well as the light flowing in her bright eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Ming, what's wrong with you?" What do you want to do? ”

"There's no way around it. Ya'er, obedient. Trust me, this is the only way to save you. I promised to save your ......"

At this time, Zheng Ming, who was muttering to himself and approaching, looked like a madman in madness in Ya'er's eyes. The other party's crazy eyes and unwavering eyes all aroused the deep fear in her heart.

Zheng Ming's shadow illuminated by fluorescence became extremely distorted under the influence of the hay on the ground. I saw that the distorted shadow kept climbing up to Ya'er's body, and finally covered her whole body.

"Ahhhhh......h

Amid the screams of fear, almost bursting eardrums, the pupils of Ya'er's widening eyes contracted violently. Among them, Zheng Ming, who was expressionless, and his hands that were constantly magnifying and holding rattan straw ropes were reflected......

……

As before, the storm went on and on. Coupled with the impact of the rain, it was not until the third day that Zheng Ming was able to travel in the muddy forest in front of him.

This is the most dangerous time, and the beasts that endure hunger and hide from the rain also come out to hunt at this time. Without full experience, even a strong man is in danger of being killed by wild beasts.

Originally, even Zheng Ming's father, the best hunter in the village, was reluctant to enter the forest at such a time. However, the lack of time did make him have no choice.

"It's the seventh day. There are still four days to prepare. ”

After secretly reminding himself again, Zheng Ming walked in front of Ya'er. At this time, Ya'er's hands and feet were tied up by Zheng Ming, and the other end was fixed to the hook-like stone block raised at the top of the stone wall.

Originally, according to the length of the rattan, Ya'er's range of movement would not be hindered at least in the grotto. However, it seems that because of Zheng Ming's behavior, it has brought Ya'er a full shadow.

At this time, Ya'er changed her lively personality and shrank silently in the corner of the deep cave. The eyes that looked at Zheng Ming had no attachment, only full fear and a trace of hatred.

Seeing Zheng Ming squatting in front of him and stretching out his hand to herself, Ya'er trembled suddenly, and desperately shrank her body towards the stone wall.

Seeing this, Zheng Ming's hand that touched the other party's head stopped in mid-air.

"Alas~" After a sigh that seemed to sink the ground, Zheng Ming stopped his intimate behavior in the past, stood up and said indifferently: "I won't ask you for forgiveness." I'm going to have something to do next. The medicine is over there, you remember to change it yourself. Although you have a special constitution, you should also pay attention to your wounds. After leaving, Zheng Ming turned around and walked out.

In Ya'er's incomprehensible eyes, Zheng Ming, who walked to the crack in the mountain leading to the outside world, paused and warned without looking back: "Oh, that's right." Don't try to get out in the end. Now is the time for wild beasts to feed, and if you go out alone, you will be sent to death. And after a heavy rain, the environment changes so much that you can't find your way back. ”

When I walked out of the cave, the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves of the trees, the sound of the raindrops falling on the ground, the sound of the water flowing against the stones, the sound of birds chirping, insects chirping, and the howling of animals became clear.

Stepping on the muddy mountain road, Zheng Ming looked at the painful scratches faintly coming from his arms and neck, recalled Ya'er's frightened and hateful eyes, and stood stunned for a while.

"Whew~~~ I promised to save her. Regardless of the process and cost! ”

After muttering to himself, Zheng Ming's bitter expression gradually returned to indifference, and his eyes became more and more determined. He glanced at the jade bottle in his hand, wiped off the bright red blood stains on the outside, and took it into his arms.

Immediately after he raised his head to identify the direction, he hurried towards the cave where Bai Yutang was.

……

"Master, are you alright? I've got medicine for you. ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's voice from afar, Bai Yutang in the cave pressed his chest and sat up.

It didn't take long for Zheng Ming's figure to walk in in the dark passage.

Bai Yutang saw Zheng Ming's embarrassed figure covered with mud and grass clippings down to his calves, and his clothes were full of scratches, and a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Ming'er, why are you here. It's just raining heavily, so it should be dangerous outside, right? ”

"Not dangerous, not dangerous. Am I not afraid that the master's injury will worsen? I've given you some wound medicine and fur to keep you warm. ”

The white jade soup leaning on the stone wall on the side, looking at Zheng Ming, who was bending down to lay a fur on himself, felt a touch of emotion rise in his heart.

"Good boy. The master didn't take you in vain. ”

"Is there enough food I brought you before? My family found out about stealing food. Later, I can only pick fruit for you to eat. ”

"Enough, enough. It's enough for you to have this heart. ”

While speaking, Zheng Ming had already laid out the floor and lay down with the white jade soup in his arms.

"Master, how are your injuries?"

"Much better. If you don't care about the deterioration of your injuries, you can barely get off the ground on your own. ”

"Then you're about to drink. This is the medicine prepared by the pharmacist in our village. I took some from my Abba. ”

Bai Yutang didn't doubt too much about a sensible and filial child, picked up the gourd that Zheng Ming handed to him, and drank all the medicinal liquid inside.

"It's ...... The drug is so potent. I didn't expect the pharmacist in your village to have such superb means. ”

After Bai Yutang praised it with a look of surprise, he closed his eyes and combined with the medicinal effect to treat the injury.

And Zheng Ming, who was watching all this in his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly.

This is some kind of miraculous potion, but some vegetable and grass leaves are squeezed into juice and put into the gourd by him. The reason why it has the medicinal effect that amazes Bai Yutang is due to the blood in the jade bottle in Zheng Ming's arms.

It is because Zheng Ming mixed the blood into the gourd that it will have the healing effect of turning decay into magic.

Sure enough, Ya'er's physique is extraordinary. Blood is much better than close contact. ”

After secretly saying something in his heart, Zheng Ming prevaricated Bai Yutang's inquiry with a question and three questions, and obediently walked to the side and crossed his knees to cultivate.

After worshipping Bai Yutang as his teacher, Zheng Ming got some simple exercises from his mouth. It is said that it is a cultivation method, but it is more like some health preservation methods to lay a solid foundation.

Although he heard Bai Yutang say that his qualifications were not bad, it was obviously a fool's dream to defeat the demon snake by relying on his young body and a few days of temporary Buddha-like cultivation.

However, after perceiving that cultivation had the effect of alleviating fatigue and restoring his spirit, Zheng Ming would meditate and cultivate as soon as he had time these days.

"We humans are not physically stronger than those beasts, nor do we have the control power of the demon race, nor do we have the terrifying affinity of the superior elemental creatures for special elements. I have to admit that in terms of absorbing the Yuan Qi, using the Yuan Qi, and transforming it into combat power, we human beings are at an absolute disadvantage.

But just as the Orcs will also have fierce beasts that do not possess intelligence, and Wisdom and Blood Qi will not possess ordinary beasts. Our weak human beings will also have some special beings born with spiritual roots and can practice.

The so-called cultivation exercises are the methods of operation and storage of the original qi and the methods that can speed up the absorption of the original qi after these special beings who can practice and accumulate experience after constantly trying to accumulate experience.

We humans are physically weak, and we can't directly incorporate Yuan Qi into our musculobones like the beasts. Therefore, we learned the method of the demon race, and integrated the surplus primordial qi that the physical body could not bear into a river-like system, which was spread all over the body. Dispatch from it when you need to use the original qi.

After years of attempts, we gave up the condensation demon pill and walked out of the path suitable for human beings, that is, to open up the dantian qi sea.

However, to open up the dantian qi sea, you need to use some utensils, and there are elders to pay attention to the guidance, so as not to appear forks. In addition, you are still young and your body has not yet opened, so it is harmful and helpless to open up the sea of dantian qi.

This mantra that the Master is now passing on to you is essentially a way to guide you to naturally absorb the original qi, improve your physical body, and strengthen your meridians. It is the foundation of your cultivation in the future. It is closely related to the bottleneck you encounter in your future practice. ”

Recalling Bai Yutang's teachings in his mind, Zheng Ming closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the flow of Yuan Qi.

He felt those vague, intangible things slowly converging around him, and his young body absorbed the surrounding primordial qi at a great speed after making adjustments according to the exercises.

These primordial qi passed through his body, absorbed by his blood, muscles, and bones, and the originally dull body in his mind also lit up with a little fluorescence.

Under the illumination of these fluorescents, Zheng Ming can even vaguely "see" all parts of his body.

It's just that unlike the human body he knew in his previous life, these internal organs, blood vessels, veins, and nerves seem to be covered with a faint film.

These films are virtual and real, as if they do not exist, but they are actually presented in front of Zheng Ming's "eyes", and the reality is full of false and false, and there are dense veins and condensation points of different sizes all over them.

"This is a meridian acupuncture point?"

Due to the shock of his heart, Zheng Ming broke away from his previous wonderful state. He glanced at Bai Yutang, who was still healing with his eyes closed, and recalled the scene he had seen before, his face full of shock.

The veins and acupuncture points presented in the thin film that covered the surface of his body organs like a translucent projection were similar to the Chinese medical system he had known in his previous life!

"I remember that at that time, surgical anatomy could not find the so-called veins and acupuncture points at all, and denied their medical value. However, it cannot explain the efficacy of the Chinese medical system for diseases. It didn't really exist, but with the technology of the time, it couldn't be observed? ”

While looking down and thinking, with a long spitting sound, Bai Yutang opened his eyes. I saw that the divine light in those starry eyes converged, and there seemed to be a bright light coming out.

"Incredible...... It's incredible. This liquid is so effective! The effort of just one big and small Zhou Tian is far better than the recovery of these days. ”

Seeing Bai Yutang, who was smiling and stood up in surprise, Zheng Ming had a bright smile on his face.
