Chapter 20: The Village
Even though the road in the mountains looks close, but it is really fatal to walk, after more than half an hour's journey, Yang Fan and his gang finally came to the front of this small mountain village.
Surrounded by mountains, a small stream cascades down from the mountains, and this small mountain village is built on top of the stream, and the whole stream passes through the village, and is surrounded by lush trees and fragrant flowers.
Although it is already the tail end of summer, the variety of vegetation here is still flourishing, and these quaint houses really give people the feeling of walking through the long river of time.
Since the small village was built on a small slope on the road, Zhao Lang's family had to get out of the car and walk up the mountain with Yang Fan.
The path up the mountain is made of moss-covered stones, and it is clear from these large and small stones that the ancestors of the mountain village slowly carved out the path.
Walking up these stone steps, it took less than 100 meters to reach the entrance of the village.
The entrance to the village is a mottled wooden door full of vines, and when the gate is gently pushed open, the decaying smell it emits seems to tell the long history of the village.
"Who are you?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, there was an old man with a wrinkled face sitting on a small stool inside this door.
"Hello, we are going to the Jade Emperor Gate, passing by here, I wonder if we can take a break in this village?" Sure enough, Yang Fan is slightly more experienced in doing this kind of thing.
Hearing his words, the old man sighed: "Alas, if it was before, I would definitely keep you, but today, if you want to stay, I hope you agree to a condition!" ”
Looking at the old man's solemn expression, everyone was a little confused, so Zhao Gang asked tentatively: "What's the matter, is today your special holiday, if there are any taboos, it doesn't matter, we will pay attention to avoid it." ”
"It's not taboo," the wrinkles on the old man's face deepened when he said this, "It's just that I don't know where a monster came from today today, many people in our village have been bitten and scratched by it, if you stay here today, it will not be very safe, but if you leave, it may be even more unsafe, so don't come out at night!" ”
"Old man, I haven't asked for your name yet?" Yang Fan asked the old man at this time.
"I'm just an old man, what does it matter if the name or something, you can just call me the village chief."
"In that case, village chief, I wonder if you can tell me more about this monster?" Yang Fan didn't have any fear of the so-called monster, maybe it was that monster that he should be worried about now.
"Young man, don't think it's fun and curious, so many people in our village have been injured, you still don't want to think about it, I have just called the police, although the police can't come immediately due to the mountain road, but they must be able to arrive tomorrow, you just need to spend today with peace of mind!"
As soon as he heard Yang Fan's words, the old village chief classified him as the kind of young man who likes excitement and adventure, so he warned Yang Fan not to try to risk his life.
In this regard, Xiao Zhao Lang was very dissatisfied: "Hey, do you know who my master is?" He's ......."
"Forget it, Zhao Lang," holding down the little guy, Yang Fan said to him: "The monster in the mountains should be some kind of relatively rare beast, there are so many villagers here, and the police have been notified, there should be no problem, let's follow the village chief's wishes!" ”
"But!" The little guy didn't understand Yang Fan's words, and asked him to say that directly overturning the monster and being a big hero was what he wanted.
Rubbing Zhao Lang's little head, Yang Fan said, "Come to my room tonight, I'll take a look at your physical condition!" ”
"Master, you're going to teach me something!" As soon as he was happy, Zhao Lang threw all the depression just now out of the clouds.
After entering the village, Yang Fan paid attention to the wounds of everyone in the village, indeed, they were all tooth marks and claw marks of animals, although they looked deeper than ordinary beasts, but after confirming that they were beasts, he was relieved.
Soon, the time came in the evening, and during this time, the village was peaceful.
After dinner, Xiao Zhao Lang ran to Yang Fan's room in a hurry, and when he saw Yang Fan sitting on the bed, he ran up happily, "Master, master, are you going to hand over my magic skills, let's see if I have a bone essence!" ”
"Stinky boy!" Yang Fan only heard a black line, and his bones were strange, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and lie down on the bed, I'll take a look at your physical condition first!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Lang quickly lay down on the bed motionless, and after seeing him lying down, Yang Fan began to check his body.
In fact, checking the body has nothing to do with whether the so-called martial arts wizard is not, just checking whether his body has secret injuries, many people may usually make themselves suffer all kinds of secret injuries without paying attention to themselves, many small injuries seem to be harmless, but once they practice martial arts, it will cause serious consequences.
This is also the difference between the cultivation of "qi" and the traditional basic martial arts of physical training, and the martial arts based on the ubiquitous "qi" are extremely destructive, both for others and for oneself!
Many people don't pay attention to some small injuries at first, but when they cultivate "qi", they will either find it difficult to advance or hurt themselves due to their own defects!
This little guy has the idea of learning martial arts, whether he is his own apprentice in the future or not, Yang Fan first has to check whether his body is defective.
In fact, the threshold for truly cultivating martial arts is very low, as long as the body remains intact, it's just that many people don't have high martial arts due to their qualifications.
For physical examinations, martial artists are not the same as modern medicine, and many times the deviation between the two is still very large, so this kind of examination generally does not borrow modern medical equipment, at least on this planet.
This kind of work is not a small action for Yang Fan, the inspection itself is very simple, but there are too many places to check, which is the troublesome place.
Around midnight, Yang Fan finally finished the inspection.
I have to say that this kid's body is very healthy, maybe this guy is still a bear child, and he may be making a lot of noise all day long, because his pulse is strong, his bones are hard, his muscles are dense, and it seems that he usually pays attention to exercise.
At this time, the little guy was already asleep, and Yang Fan was going to tell him about the fact that he could completely cultivate "qi" and martial arts, and he was going to tell him tomorrow.
Looking at Zhao Lang, whose saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, Yang Fan couldn't help but think: "There are as many people who meet the conditions as a carp crossing the river, I just don't know if you can persist until the day when you perceive 'qi'!" ”
Just as Yang Fan was also about to rest, a scream suddenly came from outside.
