Chapter 47: Homecoming
The so-called sun on the mountain turned out to be a real sunbath. Although it is now the ninth cold day, the cold wind on the barren mountains on the outskirts of the imperial capital is like a small knife. But after lunch, Chen Xi was still driven to the back mountain by Sun Baiyuan.
Although it was a sunny day today, the winter sun seemed to have only brightness but no temperature, the temperature was minus seven or eight degrees, and the cold wind was blowing, blowing Chen Xi, who was sitting cross-legged on the mountain, was cold to the bone, and his hair was frozen and stood up.
Thanks to Chen Xi's two exercises, since he sat on the rock, the golden sword in his body began to emit a golden shimmer in circles, making every cell in Chen Xi's body seem to feel a trace of warmth. And although it is now a cold winter wax moon, and the mountains are full of dry grass and dead trees, there are still wisps of wood spiritual qi that echo with the true qi of the green dragon in Chen Xi's body.
In this way, relying on these two exercises, Chen Xi sat on the hill until the evening, and then went back for dinner.
Since then, Chen Xi has started the second stage of devil training, getting up early in the morning, still running with weights, but the distance has been increased to 50 kilometers, and he must wear special lead clothes and boots when running, with a total weight of up to 150 kilograms. The whole journey is required to take less than one hour. Rao is Chen Xi now has two major exercises, and he is tired enough to choke after a circle.
After breakfast, it was still physical training, and all the physical fitness items in the morning had to be completed in lead clothes and lead boots. After lunch, I had to go to the hill to bask in the sun and eat the northwest wind all afternoon. Then I went back to finish dinner, and in the evening it was Sun Baiyuan's martial arts tutorial.
Whether it's Chinese martial arts, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Western boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or even the military's special martial arts...... Sun Baiyuan turned out to be proficient. These martial arts techniques would be taught to Chen Xi every night.
And Chen Xi was surprised to find that he had inherited the exercises, and he learned these quickly, basically as soon as he taught, he became familiar with it, and remembered that when he went to school for military training in the past, he was not able to practice a set of military physical boxing, and it was a earth-shaking change at this time.
Every three days, there was a sparring with Sun Baiyuan, and each time it didn't end until Chen Xi was seriously injured, and seven or eight blue capsules were used for the special effect medicine.
But all this effort is worth it, after this special training, Chen Xi is much stronger than himself who has just learned the exercises, the weight of the 50-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country run has increased to 200 kilograms, and the time can be compressed to half an hour to complete. In the sparring session, he can also hold up seven or eight rounds under Sun Baiyuan, and it is no longer the time for Sun Baiyuan to beat him to the ground with only one hand.
Moreover, Chen Xi could feel that his own exercises had become much stronger after repeated exercises. He could now see that the small golden sword in the dantian had grown a little larger at this time, and there were a few more delicate and intricate inscriptions on the blade. As for the green leaf, it has changed from one leaf to three, and the lines on the leaf are faintly like an abstract dragon.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of December, and it is almost the death day of the grandmother who raised Chen Xi with hard work. After training that day, Chen Xi mustered up the courage to say to Sun Baiyuan: "Captain, it's almost my grandmother's death day, can I ...... Go back and pay respects? ”
When Sun Baiyuan heard this, he suddenly understood: "I said why did you look like you were worried about it for the past two days, it turned out that this is this matter, and filial piety comes first, of course you can go, and you must go." It just so happens that I have to deal with my own affairs in the past two days, so let's give you five days off, and you can also go home to rest and rest, and come back after New Year's Day. ”
Chen Xi was overjoyed and said, "Really? Thank you so much, Captain! ”
Sun Baiyuan smiled: "Of course, there is nothing to thank for this, but you must remember that you must not expose the superpowers given by the video game city in the real world, once it is determined by the system to leak the secrets of the video game city, it will be wiped out immediately." ”
Chen Xi couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, the punishment for revealing the secrets of the video game city He had heard Sun Baiyuan say several times, the so-called erasure was the complete elimination from the body to the consciousness.
"Of course, as long as you pay attention to it, there is no problem at all. After all, there are thousands of players alive all over the world, and cases of obliteration are almost rare, after all, the system will give time to remedy. Sun Baiyuan saw that Chen Xi was nervous, so he comforted him a few more words.
Early the next morning, Sun Baiyuan drove Chen Xi into the video game city again, so that Chen Xi could return to his hometown Jianghai City as long as he went out from the main gate, which was also a benefit for the gamer, at least the transportation cost and time were saved.
At the time of parting, Sun Baiyuan instructed: "Chen Xi, I will come back after New Year's Day, and it just so happens that our team will have another strategy operation of King Arthur's legend on January 5." ”
Chen Xi nodded and said, "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely go early and return early." ”
The two immediately waved goodbye, looking at Sun Baiyuan's earnest gaze, Chen Xi was reluctant to give up, nearly two months, it was Sun Baiyuan who saved him in danger, and it was Sun Baiyuan who took him hand in hand to break out of the video game city.
"Take care, Captain!" Chen Xi's reluctance is authentic.
"Take care, brother!"
After saying goodbye, Chen Xi turned around and left, and when he passed by the rows of machines, Chen Xi didn't take a second look. Because Sun Baiyuan said during training that with his current level, stand-alone games such as the God of Fighting cannot be cleared, and if you go to play, you just waste a few game points. The legend of King Arthur will have to wait until the beginning of January for the team to attack together, and this time the team's goal is to survive all of them! So he didn't look at it much, and walked straight to the gate of the arcade.
When passing by the service desk at the door, Lao Gao, who happened to be wearing a clown mask, and Xiao Li, who had purple hair and smoky makeup, were there, and both of them were stunned when they saw Chen Xi.
Chen Xi already knew at this time that these two people, like the store manager, were members of the mysterious organization behind the video game city, so he greeted with a smile: "Hi, good two." ”
Lao Gao and Xiaoli also greeted each other with a smile, Lao Gao walked up and said in a low voice: "Little brother, I was really embarrassed last time, I didn't expect that the crow guy was so frustrated, I stopped him in the video game city, and he dared to look for you outside." I was careless, but ...... We had the last resort to tell the truth about the arcade to the gamers at first...... But seeing that you've made so much progress now, I'm a little more at ease. ”
If he hadn't been pulled into the video game city by the old Gao in front of him, what would he be like? I'm afraid that I will still be poor, and I will not even have three meals. But he entered the video game city, experienced the bizarre game world, faced a life and death crisis with only one year of life, met Sun Baiyuan, Phoenix, Tank, Calf and other friends, and changed from a mortal to a superpower. Looking back, I was really emotional.
"When I walked into the video game city, I changed my life, although I also had fear and resentment when I was deceived, but at the moment I only have gratitude in my heart, rather than trying to live in the real world like before, I would rather come to this video game city. Thank you, Mr. Gao! Chen Xi looked at Lao Gao, who was wearing a clown mask, and said sincerely.
"Come on, young man, I'm optimistic about you!"
Chen Xi smiled and waved his hand, said goodbye to the two, and walked out of the gate of the video game city.
The scenery in front of him suddenly turned into a familiar street, and the air he breathed seemed to have the smell of his hometown, Chen Xi suddenly felt melancholy in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that he would be a little sad after being away from home for two months.
He called a taxi on the side of the road, opened the door and sat in the back seat, and said, "Master, go to the XX cemetery on the outskirts of the city." ”
"Okay!" The taxi driver said yes and immediately started the car.
If it was Chen Xi in the past, if he wanted to go to his grandmother's grave, he would definitely have to take a bus, although he had to change the bus twice, which was quite time-consuming, but the financial constraints made it impossible for him to choose such a luxury as a taxi.
But now it's different, Chen Xika has 920,000 yuan in exchange for his life. For these two months, he ate and lived with Sun Baiyuan, and he couldn't spend a penny, so he simply had a luxury.
At this moment, it was more than nine o'clock in the morning, it was past the morning rush hour, and the taxi drove to the cemetery in more than 40 minutes, Chen Xi paid to get out of the car, and bought incense, candles, and paper in the small shop near the gate of the cemetery, and walked into the cemetery with his things, and came to a tombstone located in a remote corner of the cemetery.
"Grandma, my grandson has come to see you......" Chen Xi looked at his grandmother's kind smile on the tombstone photo, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
He took a turn on the edge of the Ghost Gate Pass from life to death, and even at this time, he still stepped on half of his foot in the Ghost Gate Pass - as long as he worked hard in the video game city, this life was not all his own. At this moment, when I came to my grandmother's grave, the fear, grievance, and grief in my heart could no longer be suppressed, and they were all vented.
It seems to be back when I was a child, when I was bullied by bad boys, I ran home crying, my grandmother hugged me, stroked my hair with warm hands, and said gently: "Good grandson doesn't cry, there is grandma, good grandson doesn't cry...... But all this with the death of grandma and never come back.
Chen Xi wept silently, lit incense, candles, paper money, and knelt in front of the grave for more than half an hour. After all the incense, candles, and paper money were burned out, he kowtowed three times in front of the grave, and then got up and walked out of the cemetery.
