Chapter 17: Distress in the Woods
The early morning in the forest is still very refreshing. The fresh air, the chirping of birds, and the glimmer of the morning sun through the leaves made Jiang Hua feel that the world was also very wonderful. Only the few black figures not far away, and the urging shouts, made people's good mood fall to the bottom in an instant.
"Don't hurry up and leave......" He Ming shouted gloomily to Jiang Hua and the others.
Jiang Hua glared at He Ming, picked up Mu Qingyun and Ji Bu and followed Han Feng and the others who had already set off. He Ming suppressed the anger in his heart, and smacked the ground before slowly following behind Jiang Hua and the others.
Jiang Hua pondered the dream he had last night while walking, and those words he wanted to confirm now were "Hongchen Practicing Heart Decision".
"Hongchen Practicing Mind Determination? It doesn't sound like some kind of martial arts cultivation method, and it only has a name, no content, does it mean that the patterns on those walls are cultivation methods, not like it? I am all familiar with them, and I don't feel anything? Could it be that I have to memorize all the fourteen drawings before the mantra and mental method will appear? Well, it is very possible!" Jiang Hua thought of his first dream, didn't he finally complete the nine cycles of movements accurately, and only then did he have an instantaneous physique improvement, this dream should be the same. I don't know why I dream about it, but it brings real, tangible benefits. Jiang Hua is looking forward to what kind of surprises this second dream will bring to him.
"It doesn't matter what he does, as long as it is useful to me, I am willing to have such dreams every day. Hongchen Training...... Hongchen Training...... It's very straightforward, I understand Hongchen, but how should I practice my heart......" Jiang Hua's mind came up with the human meridian diagram again.
The sinuous trunk line extends slightly down from the abdomen, turns back upward, passes through the chest and throat, and down the arm until it disappears at the end of the thumb. As the names of the acupuncture points appeared in his mind, Jiang Hua felt that the corresponding positions in his body were also faintly hot, and this discovery made Jiang Hua very excited. However, Jiang Hua's excitement did not last long, and as all the acupuncture points were sensed one by one, the miracle did not happen.
Mu Qingyun was a little curious when she saw Jiang Hua pointing at her body while walking, and she looked carefully for a while and found that the places Jiang Hua was pointing at were all positions that she was very familiar with. I couldn't help but wonder, "What are you doing?"
"Well, it's nothing. Jiang Hua saw Mu Qingyun pointing to his hand that was placed on a point in his throat, his expression was curious, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he casually said perfunctory.
Jiang Hua's somewhat disguised answer made Mu Qingyun even more convinced of her guess, her face turned pale in an instant, and her body shook and almost fell. Jiang Hua hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Mu Qingyun, and said with concern, "Sister Mu, what's wrong with you? If you are not feeling well, I will help you go." Mu Qingyun quietly pulled out the arm that was held by Jiang Hua, and said lightly, "I'm fine, I can go by myself." ”
A large part of Jiang Hua's mind was still on the acupoint pattern, and he didn't care about the change in Mu Qingyun's expression and tone, so he continued to study his body with a sigh.
Mu Qingyun's heart couldn't be calmed like a river overturning the sea. "He seems to be casual, but every place his finger points is a human body's acupuncture points, and the position is very accurate, so people who are so familiar with acupuncture must know medical skills. Recalling Jiang Hua's performance before and after being rescued by himself, Mu Qingyun's heart was even colder. "When he found him, he was dying, and he didn't use any precious medicinal materials to heal, seeing that he was not very tired after walking the mountain road almost all day yesterday with Gibb on his back, his recovery and physique were different from ordinary people, or he had already prepared healing elixirs, just to deceive himself and the villagers. Mu Qingyun knew very well the reason why the black-robed man arrested her, and she knew that this day would come sooner or later. Jiang Hua had only been in the village for a few days, and the person who captured him accurately found his hiding place, and only did not kill Jiang Hua, and then thought of the reason why he was arrested, Jiang Hua, who hid his medical skills, was undoubtedly the culprit who revealed his identity.
"He looks so serious like him, his eyes are as sincere as him, he treats Jibu amiably, and he doesn't care about Bo Chena like he pretends, if these are his disguises, then how deep should this person's scheming be......" Mu Qingyun didn't want to believe that Jiang Hua was a fellow party of the black-robed man from the bottom of her heart, but all kinds of signs showed that her guess was the truth. Mu Qingyun began to deliberately distance herself from Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua would not have thought that one of his dreams would turn him into a "scheming man" in the eyes of Sister Mu.
The black-robed man who was at the front of the group suddenly stopped, raised his left arm, and shouted in a low voice, "Stop!" The other three black-robed people paused suddenly.
"Zhao Ping, Zhou Tong, go and protect the back. Han Feng stepped forward as soon as he said a word, and joined the black-robed man in the lead, the two quickly exchanged glances, and then stood silently, staring quietly into the depths of the dense forest.
Zhao Ping and Zhou Tong, another black-robed man, retreated to Jiang Hua and the three of them, and He Ming, who was far behind, also dodged a few times to catch up, and the three of them each occupied a position, facing the direction of the dense forest, and surrounded Jiang Hua and the three of them in a triangular situation.
Seeing the scene in front of them, Jiang Hua and Mu Qingyun also became nervous. Mu Qingyun pulled Jibu over, squatted down and hugged her in his arms. Jiang Hua took a deep breath and felt the condition of his body, it was very good, full of strength, and this sense of strength calmed Jiang Hua's nervous mood a little. Jiang Huayun used his eyesight to look in the direction of the black-robed man in the front, only to see a colorful tiger pacing leisurely from the depths of the dense forest.
"It's a tiger!" Jiang Hua was secretly startled, the muscles in his body tensed instantly, and his breath was raised in his throat, but his body involuntarily moved to the side. Mu Qingyun didn't know what was going on, only to see Jiang Hua's slightly thin body blocking in front of her and Jibu. The careful Mu Qingyun found that Jiang Hua's body was shaking slightly, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or some other reason.
Han Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that a tiger appeared in front of him, and turned his head to look at the black-robed man next to him, who happened to be also turning his head to look at Han Feng, the two looked at each other and smiled, and both secretly sighed that they were a little too cautious. He Ming and the other three also lifted their guard and got together, this kind of ordinary beast really made them not careful.
The tiger seemed to faintly feel the powerful momentum of the two people in front of him, and was unwilling to be despised by these strange species, so he opened his mouth and roared, and violently exerted force, bypassing Han Feng and the others like lightning, and pounced on Jiang Hua and the others.
Han Feng came first, and flew in front of the tiger when he was still more than ten meters away from Jiang Hua and the others. This tiger seemed to have some wisdom, knowing that Han Feng was not easy to mess with, and he wanted to bypass it again, Han Feng would give him a second chance to play with himself, bully forward, and slapped the tiger's head. The tiger lowered his head and avoided Han Feng's right palm, and wanted to continue to rush forward, but Han Feng's right foot had firmly kicked on the tiger's side buttocks, and the tiger was kicked to a stumbling side, stopping the forward rush. After receiving Han Feng's kick, the tiger seemed to find that he couldn't avoid Han Feng, as if he was a little hesitant, moving his steps left and right, and staring at Han Feng with slight eyes. Han Feng saw that the tiger did not attack, nor did he move, thinking that it would be best to scare it away. He used all his strength with the kick just now, although he himself was not good at leg skills, but the ordinary beast couldn't stand that kick, this tiger seemed to be fine, it was definitely not an ordinary beast. In this dense forest, no one knows what danger lurks, and it will not take much effort for a few of them to take down this tiger, but the sound of a fight may attract something more difficult. The heavy responsibility is in the body, and if you can avoid it, you can avoid it.
He Ming saw Han Feng and the tiger confronting each other, thinking that Han Feng was relentless in his identity to deal with a beast, so he secretly used his mental method, and his palms were instantly filled with flames. Feeling the familiar fluctuation of the exercises behind him, Han Feng secretly said that it was not good, and before he could stop it, He Ming dodged over Han Feng's palms and headed towards the tiger. The tiger has been guarding against Han Feng, He Ming's unexpected attack made its body stagnate, and when it reacted, the blazing palms were close in front of him, and the tiger didn't have time to dodge, so he opened his huge mouth and bit He Ming's palms in a hurry. He Ming instantly changed his move, pointed his toes on the ground, jumped up in the air, and struck down with his right palm to the tiger's neck. The tiger twisted, and its iron rod-like tail swept towards He Ming in the air with the sound of the whirring wind. He Ming grabbed the tiger's tail from the root, but his body was thrown out by the huge force. Listening to a loud roar of "......", He Ming landed steadily, and then looked at the tiger, everyone was a little funny, only to see it keep shaking a bare and burnt yellow tail, glaring at He Ming, with the flicking of the tail, a burst of scorched smell mixed with the aroma of barbecue rushed into everyone's nose.
"Whew...... How......" two roars in succession, the tiger raised its head, unexpected changes appeared, in the surprised eyes of everyone, the tiger's body changed dramatically, and saw that its body suddenly swelled a little, the fur pieces of the whole body fell off, revealing bright red and bloody knotted muscles, and the sharp claws that had grown by one-third drew a white mark on the rock, and the most terrifying thing was the sharp teeth that were full of teeth, which became jagged, and the two longest roots stretched out the corners of the mouth, and the crystal saliva droplets dripped down.
"Ah......", Jibu has never seen such a terrible thing, and with a cry of surprise, he buried his head in Mu Qingyun's arms, his body trembled with fright, and Mu Qingyun hugged Jibu, and his face was also full of surprise.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Jiang Hua's firm tone made Mu Qingyun's heart stunned, and he looked up at the man in front of him who was blocking his mother and daughter, the thin but not weak body slowly enlarged in his pupils, coinciding with another figure, and even that sentence was exactly the same as what that figure said. Mu Qingyun's heart was instantly shaken, and she began to question her guess.
Jiang Hua heard Gibb's exclamation, turned his head and saw the weak woman sitting on the ground and the childish ** child trembling in her arms, the belief in his heart was even firmer, he didn't notice it, his legs that had been shaking when he encountered something no longer trembled, the sentence just now was by no means a whim casually said, it was Jiang Hua's first solemn oath in his life, and it was also the spiritual shackles he voluntarily worn, Jiang Hua hoped that it would always spur him like a tight spell, he was determined to become stronger, he didn't want to let the people around him be easily hurt again.
Jiang Hua didn't see Mu Qingyun's confused expression, his whole mind was on the mutated tiger. At this time, Jiang Hua didn't think about what he could do if he couldn't even deal with the mutated tiger in the black robe.
