Chapter 10 The Long Road Ahead (Ask for Collections and Recommendations)
On a winding country road, an ox cart is moving slowly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
An old man sat in front of the car, whipping the old cow, and in the back of the car sat a teenager cross-legged, a raccoon-like beast lying on the car, looking around curiously.
This man and beast are none other than Liu Yang and Timo.
At this moment, his eyes were closed, his expression was solemn, and he held a red stone in his hand.
He clearly felt a strange energy surrounding him, and a picture was clearly visible in his mind:
Some large and small points of light surrounded him, flying up and down, in different colors, red, gray, silver, white, etc., among which silver was the majority.
He silently recited the mantra in his heart, urging Yuan Li, and those silver points of light were pulled, slowly approaching his body, and then suddenly accelerated, burrowing into his body.
A warm feeling came from the veins of the limbs, and those points of light converged into a group, turning into a silver stream, and quickly swam along the meridians of the whole body.
After a full circle, the silver stream sank into the dantian and blended with a cloud of silver mist.
The Yuan Force of the whole body grew a little stronger, and before Liu Yang had time to rejoice, the mist trembled slightly, and then separated from it, and flowed into the red stone along his arm.
Once again, the redstone showed its unusualness, when Liu Yang absorbed the Yuan Force, it directly stole the refined Yuan Force from Liu Yang's body, making the cultivation results of the past one day now take twice as long.
But Liu Yang enjoyed it, the more unusual the red stone, the more happy he was in his heart, and later as long as it was cultivation time, he directly held the red stone in his hand, so that it was convenient for this "thief" to steal it.
Glancing at the stone in his hand, as if he could feel the heartbeat in it, he smiled bitterly, and only continued to sense the Yuan Force between heaven and earth......
After a long time, Liu Yang opened his eyes and looked at the red stone in his hand, the color of the stone seemed to have deepened a little, he nodded with satisfaction, and took the red stone into his arms.
As a companion teacher, Liu Yang is still very satisfied with himself, but as Timo's master, he feels quite a failure.
Teemo has never had the consciousness of a companion beast, and has always been at any time and occasion, appearing when he wants to appear and disappearing when he wants to disappear, like a rebellious child.
When it suddenly appeared on Liu Yang's shoulder, it startled the old man, causing Liu Yang to explain, fortunately, the companion town is quite famous nearby, and he has also heard of Li Lao, the old man of the silver companion master.
Hearing the bad news of Li Lao, he couldn't help but sigh, sighing that life was not easy, but Liu Yang's ambition to suppress bandits was regarded as a wild talk.
What can a teenager do? Didn't the companion master who had guarded the companion town for decades also end up dead?
Liu Yang didn't bother to argue, so he simply laughed it off, teased Timo for a while, and then lay directly on the hay in the ox cart and looked through Li Lao's book of sacrifices.
Sacrifice is a secret art, what is a secret art? It is a powerful, secret spell.
This sacrifice is to burn one's own essence and blood to obtain a temporary increase in strength.
Liu Yang frowned, he was still very interested in this secret technique, Li Lao's improvement in strength at that time was by no means a half-star, it was by his own strength, and he suppressed Cheng Su and Huchuan at the same time.
But the price is also not small, the so-called burning of essence blood is the loss of essence, to put it bluntly, it is to lose life.
Obtaining a short-term increase in strength at the cost of a long life is definitely not worth the loss, the cultivator is in order to change his life against the sky, and no one will think that his life is long.
The secret art seems very simple, and the content of the book is very short, and more importantly, it is a few small notes.
From the handwriting and clarity, Liu Yang can judge that these annotations come from different times and different people's handwritings.
He roughly estimated that this secret technique had passed through the hands of at least twenty or thirty people, and the reason for the change of hands could be guessed without thinking, probably because the original owner used this secret technique and his life was not guaranteed, just like Li Lao.
The more Liu Yang looked at the content of the annotation, the more surprised he became, every time the secret technique was changed in a hundred years, in addition to the understanding and experience of sacrifice, it also vaguely showed the tip of some icebergs in the era of the original owner.
This is really a unique book, and each commentator has tried his best to leave his or her own thoughts, some of which are obscure, some of which are superficial, and the content is even far from the same.
He carefully took the lonely book into his arms, and had a bold guess in his heart, the decline of the companion master may have something to do with this technique.
When he left Companion Town on this trip, he was going to the big sect in Li Lao's mouth, the Heavenly Star Sect.
No one knew where the Heavenly Star Sect was, and no one had even heard of the name.
The associated town is located in a remote area, and the people do not hold officials accountable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the town is abandoned, even if it is dozens of days away from the nearest Hengyang City, it is also the farthest place that the elders of the town have ever been.
Liu Yang is even more unbearable, his memories of more than ten years are all stuck in the town of Associated Town, as a frog at the bottom of a well, from childhood to adulthood, he has hardly been out of the town.
So he rented an ox cart, hired an experienced handlebar in a neighboring town, and decided to go to Hengyang City first.
The so-called Qingzhou is like a great ambition, a lofty ambition, which is a broader concept.
It is as if a child who grew up in the mountains in his previous life has to go directly to Beijing across the towns, counties and cities.
He is such a child, full of anxiety and anxiety about the unknown journey and place.
He looked up at the sky, and it was an endless blue, dotted with strangely shaped clouds, white and transparent.
His restless heart was calmed down in an instant, and looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he felt very happy, which was a color that he did not have in his previous life.
In that life, I lived in a corner and regretted being a dead house, why not have a heart in this life and walk all over this great river and mountain?
The road ahead is long, but there are countless scenery, and he vows to become the most beautiful scenery among them, or a pinch of loess.
He had a smile on his face and a flying look, "Handlebar style!" Double the price! ”
"Good Ratcha!" The old man was infected by the young man's smile, and he raised the whip in his hand high and snapped down.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Liu Yang was holding the red stone, injecting yuan power, and the voice of the old man came from in front of him.
"The boy has arrived!"
Liu Yang opened his eyes and looked around blankly, there was still a barren area under him, and there were mountains in front of him, where could he see a city?
He was a little annoyed, did this old man deceive him for his youth? "You old man, how can this be Hengyang City?"
"You must be in town for the first time, right?" The old man smiled and explained: "The mountain in front is called the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, and when you turn over this mountain, it is the boundary of Hengyang, and it is not far from Hengyang City." ”
Liu Yang suddenly realized that although the mountain was not very tall and majestic, it was also a winding mountain road, rugged, and it was not easy for the ox cart to walk, and the speed was not as fast as walking.
He thanked the old man, paid the money, picked up Teemo, who was lying asleep on the licorice, and got out of the car.
Hengyang City is different from Companion Town, where there must be a cloud of masters, and cultivators don't know how many, and every improvement in strength will increase a trace of self-preservation.
For him at present, the only way to improve his strength is to constantly sense the Yuan Force, absorb and refine, and cultivate.
Therefore, in the past ten days, except for reading the book of sacrifices, he spent the rest of his time on cultivation.
The Yuan Force in the body was strong again, and the color on the body of the companion beast "Red Stone" became more and more vivid, as if it was about to drip blood, and the heartbeat sound that appeared from time to time was even stronger and more powerful.
Liu Yang had a hunch that Redstone was about to complete its "hatching".
Under the warmth of Yuanli, what will hatch?
In anticipation of it, he strode forward, and after walking for a few miles, he saw a small tea shop at the foot of the mountain.
Four round tables, some benches, a straw shed on top, and a simple tea shop, but it was crowded with people, and a middle-aged couple was busy serving tea and pouring water.
"Boss, come to a big bowl of tea!" Liu Yang learned to be like the ranger in the TV series in his memory, and waved his hand boldly.
A small head popped out of his arms, making a squeaky sound, Liu Yang smiled slightly, "Add a small bowl!" ”
Liu Yang's arrival quickly attracted some attention, the tea shop was full of young men and women in their twenties, most of them were together, Liu Yang looked not very old, and he was alone, which was really eye-catching.
But he didn't care, instead looked left and right, looking at the people drinking tea around him.
These people were all carrying their bags, and from time to time they made some arguments, but their eyes looked at the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, obviously they were all people who wanted to cross the mountain, but for some reason they all gathered here.
The owner of the tea shop quickly sent two bowls of tea, sure enough, one large and one small, Liu Yang drank it all, "Comfortable!" ”
In his previous life, he didn't like to drink tea, but at this time, I don't know if it was the difference in the environment or mood, this bowl of bad tea made him smell a fragrance, and he felt particularly comfortable drinking it.
Although Timo's bowl of tea was a small bowl, it was as big as its body, Liu Yang had to hold it in his hand, Timo sniffed it, curiously stretched out his tongue to lick it, and then retracted his tongue suddenly, shaking his head with his small mouth open.
Liu Yang laughed and drank the small bowl together, still feeling that it was not enough to enjoy it, "Boss, have another bowl!" ”
On the round table near Liu Yang, a woman frowned and said disdainfully: "It turned out to be a country boy." ”
The woman was average-looking, and she made no secret of her loud voice.
A rather handsome man interrupted her, got up from the table, and said condescendingly, "You are a demon soul master?" ”
Liu Yang carried the package on his back, revealing a small half of a black staff, which attracted the man's attention.
Liu Yang was unhappy in his heart, whether it was the woman's bitterness or the man's superiority, it made him extremely unhappy, "I'm not a demon soul master, I'm a companion master." ”
"Obviously, a turtle from the countryside, how can he be a demon soul master, why do you bother asking, big brother." The woman was a little gloating.
The man's face changed slightly, and he turned around directly, "Don't wait, it's not early, let's go into the mountain." ”
A table of people stood up one after another, and there were more than a dozen people, heading towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, and they didn't even look at Liu Yang again.
Liu Yang's face remained unchanged, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, it seems that no matter what world he is in, there are always some people who look at people with dog eyes, and the taste of being despised is really uncomfortable.
He drank another bowl of tea and was about to go up the hill when a man got up and stopped him.
The man had a rough face, at least thirty years old, and there were two young men and women at the table with him, and the woman had a sweet appearance, which couldn't help but make Liu Yang take a few more looks.
"If the little brother doesn't dislike it, let's be together."
Liu Yang was a little hesitant, he went out for the first time, and he experienced what happened just now, and he didn't have the slightest good impression of these people who came forward to talk, but he was vigilant in his heart.
The man smiled disappreliantly, but what he said surprised Liu Yang.
"The beast tide is coming, the little brother is alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to cross this Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge."
