Chapter 44: The Past of Zhan Jiu
Time passes, no matter who you are or what you do, it flows silently, it just feels fast or slow.
After a few more days of hard work, Jiang Hai has changed a lot, from barely sitting up, to standing, to walking a few steps. Although every movement will involve pain all over the body, he has answered them one by one.
The wingless queen honey has a peculiar curative effect, it is worthy of the coffin of the old man, and a few drops of it will make Jiang Hai have a few traces of true qi in his body. Part of it is the effect of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and the rest is the effect of the queen bee honey.
In addition to repairing the dark injuries in Jiang Hai's body, the former is also stimulating his potential, and the original true qi comes from this. And the latter is warm nourishment, because the medicinal effect of Ganoderma lucidum is too domineering, even if it is neutralized with many medicinal materials, it is still not enough, and it needs to be further alleviated by royal honey, and now it seems that the effect is very good.
Jiang Hai tried to walk towards the old man. The distance between the two is not too far, but it is undoubtedly difficult for Jiang Hai's current state, and it is estimated that it will take about thirty steps. And yesterday, Jiang Hai tried to walk five steps, and then he couldn't support it anymore and sat on the ground.
Today, his condition has improved, and he continues to try, like a child who has just learned to walk. The face was happy, but he stumbled, and the old man's face was the encouragement of his parents in the distance when he was a child. Of course, a lot of it is self-transcendence, he doesn't want to waste time on this mountain, he wants to go out of the mountain, he has to practice, and naturally he has to restore the state of his body.
"You came to me, I don't have anything good for you" The old man hit Jiang Hai.
"Yes, some people usually say no!" Jiang Hai didn't believe what he said.
The old man didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. After a few days of contact, he was very satisfied with what this little guy had shown, and there was a feeling that there was a successor. Therefore, it is very reluctant, and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is also fed to it in pain, it is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, how many encounters can there be in life?
However, the wingless queen bee honey is his own collection. The wingless bee is a special kind of spirit bee in this Wangsheng Mountain, and its own quality has a fourth-level existence, not to mention that the queen bee is also a fifth-level existence. The honey brewed by ordinary wingless bees is superb, and the honey brewed by the queen bee is even more priceless, with only a few dozen drops in ten years.
Just a few days ago, what Jiang Hai used was what he had accumulated over the decades.
Jiang Hai moved forward step by step, and every step took took a lot of strength, if it weren't for his heart like steel, he would have been unable to bear it and gave up. It takes a long time to raise your legs in the most simple way on a daily basis, then you can close your legs, stand up, and take the next step. Time passed, Jiang Hai only took two steps in a morning, and there was still more than half of the distance in front of him.
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Hai didn't stop, his right foot trembled and stretched out, only the corners of his mouth grinned. 'Hold on, for yourself!' Jiang Hai cheered himself up again and again.
Until nightfall, Jiang Hai sat limply on the ground. The old man had just said a few words in the morning, and he had been sitting there all day, and if it weren't for the big tree, he might have sunned something. It is more like penance to say that Qing Xiu, Jiang Hai has never seen him have a trace of other movements, and he has not eaten or drunk. If you hadn't spoken to him, you would have thought he was just a corpse.
'He has a problem with himself, and it's very serious!' Jiang Hai suddenly had such an idea for some reason.
The starlight sprinkled with wisps of silver light, there was no sound in the empty deep mountains, and even the wind did not blow, this was different from the feeling of Jiang Hai in the past, was it because of him? I couldn't feel his breath, and the feeling of being there was nothing was very ethereal, was the realm too high? Jiang Hai couldn't help but speak.
"Senior, why don't you eat, drink or move, isn't it that you also ate the thousand-year-old Lingzhi?"
After a long time, the old man replied, and his voice was still emotionless, also because there was no happy event. "It's a waste for me to eat such a sacred object, and it was given to you by others, how dare I steal it. ”
"Waste?" Jiang Hai was full of doubts, although the thousand-year-old Lingzhi was not as in mythology, and if you eat it, you can get the magic effect of the Dao Flying Immortal. But a thousand years of spirituality, increasing martial arts cultivation, repairing injuries, and adding some longevity can still be done, why would he say that it is useless?
In addition, Jiang Hai still understood through his words that this Lingzhi was not obtained by him, so who could guess it. With such a big amount of money, who can still give it to a child, is it a friend or acquaintance? It's not that Jiang Hai doesn't know the one who can predict the future, it's the old man from the Holy Spirit Academy.
"Why did the seniors say that, is there any difficulty, or is there something wrong with you?" Jiang Hai asked again
"That's all you want to know, something you'll need to know sooner or later, because that's your duty in the future!"
Jiang Hai heard it in a fog, and he didn't understand why he suddenly said this, and his heart was full of doubts, 'What does your business have to do with me?'
I heard the old man say, "Do you know who I am?"
"Who are the seniors?"
"The surname is Zhan Mingjiu!" the old man suddenly said four words with great momentum.
"Oh..... I don't know if I've heard of it!" said Jianghu truthfully.
"You ......!!" Zhan Jiu was obviously angry. However, when he thought about it, Jiang Hai's character was naturally based on cultivation, and he was not interested in knowing such 'trivial matters', so he could only continue.
"I am the founder of Zhulu Academy, and I also have two apprentices, one is Xu Ming and the other is Chen Jun, now do you know who I am?"
"I still don't know" Jiang Hai replied half-jokingly, and when he saw the old man raise his palm, he had to open his mouth and shout, "Master!"
Only then did Zhan Jiu put down his hand.
Jiang Hai didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually the founder of the academy and his own master, isn't it rumored that he is dead, and he is still alive, but this state is worrying. Why did he want to be incognito, and why did the Academy claim that he was dead?
Is this related to the many strange things he said before? Jiang Hai could only ask: "Master, ...... are you?"
"It's a long story, let me take my time."
"I have been roaming the rivers and lakes since I was a child, and there is no one behind me without relatives and no reason, only with a heart of blood and a sincere heart. In the year of its establishment, it can be regarded as a little famous, and the two methods of self-created "knife" and "sword" are called "sword and sword" by the people of the rivers and lakes. ’”
"It's just that fame is a double-edged sword, and while the rivers and lakes are famous, I also suffer from it. Many unfamous warriors come to challenge, the famous ones want to reach a higher level of prestige, and the unfamous ones are eager to be seen. ”
"There are a lot of people who challenge every day, but they are all eager for quick success. There is no achievement of penance, but they have achieved my prestige, I have not been defeated for three years, and I was listed as the top of the hidden dragon list by Tianjimen, and this is the beginning of the disaster. ”
"That day, the second in the hidden dragon list came to challenge, and he was also a gorgeously dressed and personable son, I fought with him for a day and a night, and then I had a few battles with mixed results. ”
So I made an agreement with him to practice and compete again every Mid-Autumn Festival night. In the following year, I walked north and south of the river, west into the desert and east to the coast, and by chance harvested a Heart Sutra in ancient places. After that, I practiced in that ancient place for a year, and I didn't get up and leave until the middle of the year. ”
And he was already waiting at the meeting place, that battle attracted the onlookers of many good players in the rivers and lakes, and he was also improving his skills, but he was still defeated in ten moves. He left lonely, and I chose to retreat to the mountains and forests after enjoying the victory. I thought that this was the end of the matter, and I didn't want to be found by a group of people in black who came from an unknown source, but after I asked, I found out that he was a big family, and after the defeat, I became the target of his family's hunting. ”
"The 'sword' and 'sword' that I am proud of can't hurt them a point, and although the Heart Sutra is strong, it is also mutilated and has no moves, so I have to flee in the wilderness. ”
"Until I met Senior Zhong, he was here looking at the holy mountain, and he resolved the crisis for me and taught me a lot of exercises. Teach me to protect myself with the help of the Ying family's momentum, so there is the existence of Zhulu Academy. ”
Speaking of this, Zhan Jiu paused, as if he was reminiscing about his life, and Jiang Hai was also shocked by his magnificent life.
But it seems that he didn't talk about his duties, and his own problems. So he shouted, "Master, what's the next episode of the story?"
"Are you telling me a story?" Zhan Jiu was completely convinced, this little guy also had an 'unlikable side'.
Shaking his head, he continued, "The development of the academy is beyond my imagination, on the one hand, Senior Zhong's face is big enough, and others are afraid. On the one hand, it is also the support of the Ying family, and they want the academy to compete with the other two academies. But fortunately, my original plan was to let the qualified juniors get the corresponding opportunities, and there was no control. ”
And the long-disappeared second place on the Hidden Dragon List appeared just forty years ago. It's just that he is no longer the person I know, he used to behave elegantly and gracefully, and he had an aristocratic atmosphere, and at that time, I didn't know what demonic methods he had practiced, and his evil eyes seemed to be trying to eat people. ”
"I fought with him, his strength improved extremely quickly, if he had been placed before, he would naturally not be his opponent, but at that time, he was guided by Senior Zhong. I fought with him for more than 500 moves, and the last move narrowly won by cutting off three of his fingers. He was defeated and left, and before leaving, he let out a word. ”
"The defeat of the day will always be remembered in my heart, this time the defeat is really a miracle has not been accomplished, from today to concentrate on cultivation, the miracle will never be born, if the miracle is successful, it will be the time when your body is in a different place. ”
After listening to Zhan Jiu's words, Jiang Hai had a very familiar feeling, as if he had experienced it himself, and hurriedly asked, "Zhao family?"
"Yes, he is Zhao Tianxiong, the brother of Zhao Tianming whom you killed. ”
Sure enough, it is the Zhao family, it seems that Zhao Tianming is not the only one who has fallen into the devil, there was a precedent decades ago, but the next words of Zhan Jiu made Jiang Hai very uncomfortable.
"The exercises practiced by the two are not the same, so Zhao Tianming is not just manipulating the corpse, Zhao Tianxiong's exercises are much more profound. I have seen your battle, Zhao Tianming is less than one-tenth of Zhao Tianxiong's back then. ”
And Zhao Tianxiong has disappeared for forty years. That's what I'm worried about. ”
