Chapter 454: First Arrival at the Mountain
readx;
Autumn in the Xuanwu Empire is very strange, the sun will scorch you during the day, but once you leave the place where the sun can reach, you will feel a chill all around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoWhen the sun goes down, the temperature drops dramatically, making it feel like you're in winter.
In fact, it is not really winter at this time, but it is already late autumn. The wind was so strong that it was hard to see many clouds in the sky, and there was no chance of rain at all.
On a tributary of the Yexuan River, a dhow sails quickly on the water. Sailing on such a small river requires a very good piloting skill, as well as a pair of eagle-sharp eyes that can see the complex conditions under the water from a few feet away.
A young man, with a hat at this time, skillfully steered the boat, turning left and right in the river and moving forward quickly. From a distance, the boy looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, his figure was slightly thin, he was wearing a sleeveless tight-fitting shirt, and he stood at the stern of the boat with bare feet.
The boy looks no different from the boy of the ordinary fisherman's family, but the discerning person can see that being able to wear a single coat on the river in late autumn is definitely a good cultivation.
The young man who was sailing in front of him was Zuo Feng, who had come all the way from the Yelin Empire to the Xuanwu Empire to find the antidote.
At this time, it has been more than ten days since the earth-shattering battle that took place in the new county town. In the past ten days, they have not stayed anywhere for too long, and they have hardly even had any contact with outsiders.
Because they were on a dhow, whenever they saw villages and towns on the shore from afar, they would stop at the river and get off the boat to buy some daily necessities. Su Yan will take the time to go to the shore to inquire about all kinds of news coming and going, of course, the main thing is that she is still concerned about the changes in the new county.
But to its frustration, to this day, she still hasn't received any accurate information, and even the current situation of the new county town has not been known along the way. However, Zuo Feng had already expected these situations in front of him, but he was too concerned about Su Yan, and her stubborn personality still made him insist on asking about the present.
The Xuanwu Empire went from Ganwei County to Linshan County, and had to pass diagonally through two counties along the way to reach Linshan County, where the Kang family was located. The main transportation along this route is all by water, and it is rare for people to travel such a long distance by land.
The reason why Zuo Feng would remind Su Yan that he would not get any useful news along the way was because although they had seen many ships going upstream, they had not seen a single ship in the same direction as them sailing.
This shows that the river channel has been blocked, and the waterway from the upper reaches of the Yexuan River to the lower reaches has been blocked. No matter which force did this, it is certain that their purpose in doing so was to completely block the news. Therefore, it is impossible to inquire around like this, not to tell a serious accurate information, or even hearsay lies.
These days, I have been in a very bad mood without makeup, but Zuo Feng is having a good time. During the day, he followed Amber to learn the technique of sailing, and at night, he would also pester Amber to ask about the many things related to refining medicine and pressing acupuncture points, and it can be said that Zuo Feng's harvest in the past few days is the richest among these people.
Amber also has a very good impression of Zuo Feng, and he has taken the trouble to explain various experiences over the years to him along the way. And that amber is worthy of being able to have cultivation beyond his peers, he will seize any opportunity to cultivate during the time of sailing, and sometimes he will also find Zuo Feng to have a discussion.
He is not like Li Yuanhe and Su Yan, who have seen Zuo Feng show his strength in the new county city. The first time the two fought each other, Amber just finished speaking unashamedly, "Little brother, even if you let go of the attack, brother, I will definitely let you a little", and before he even could say anything, he was directly kicked into the water by Zuo Feng.
Amber was shocked by this, but Su Yan had been staring at Amber with a sympathetic look like a fool at the beginning of Amber's challenge, and by the time Amber finished speaking, Su Yan couldn't bear to look at it. When Amber fell into the water, she only shook her head slightly.
Later, this amber sticks to the left wind, and whenever the left wind is not discussing with Amber about learning, he will jump out and challenge the left wind, and at the same time, the left wind will give him one hand, then both hands, and finally cover his eyes to fight Amber.
In this way, Amber was unable to defeat Zuo Feng, and he was so angry that he almost turned his back on him. Zuo Feng's impression of this young man is very good, and after a period of getting along, Zuo Feng found that this amber actually belongs to the kind of good man who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and treats his friends even more with all sincerity.
may be because he has been cultivated by the Kang family as a chess piece, so when he treats others, he will put on a rejecting appearance.
As this journey progressed, the relationship between Amber, Zuo Feng, and Amber became closer and closer, and the central figure of the three turned out to be the youngest Zuo Feng. Although Amber is very accomplished in refining medicine and pressing acupoints and thorning points, he likes to discuss all kinds of whimsical ideas and opinions with Zuo Feng very much.
In particular, Zuo Feng proposed that the combination of medicine and pressing acupoints would bring the transformation of body refining and qi refining to a more perfect realm, which completely attracted the old man Amber. When Amber reminded Zuo Feng, he only told the experience of one of the seniors who had instructed him at the beginning, and he didn't expect that Zuo Feng would have such a deep understanding at a young age.
Amber knows a lot of powerful moves and martial arts, but he can't defeat Zuo Feng in actual combat, even if the other party "let it go, let it go again", it still can't change this result.
However, Zuo Feng did not hide this amber secretly, and taught all the melee combat methods he had researched. Zuo Feng's melee combat methods were all practiced in fighting with beasts and countless life-and-death fights, which made Amber look at him with admiration, and also understood why he was so inferior to the other party in the competition.
And Amber didn't hide anything, except for a few martial arts that the Kang family strictly forbade leaking, he taught all the martial arts of the Guild to Zuo Feng. For marksmanship martial arts, Zuo Feng didn't have much interest, but for Amber's set of leg martial arts, Zuo Feng had a strong interest.
Moreover, Zuo Feng also found out the body martial arts he obtained in the chaotic land, and studied and pondered with Amber. That set of martial arts that act like a swimming snake is called a swimming snake step, although it seems that when it moves, it generally takes an arc when entering the swimming snake, but in fact, it implies a certain reason in it, even faster than moving forward in a straight line.
If you simply learn this set of martial arts, or even use them freely, it is not too difficult for Amber and Zuo Feng, it is important to apply this set of martial arts to actual combat, which is a more troublesome thing.
Because the display of martial arts is fixed, especially the use of body martial arts is subject to many restrictions, and the operation of the aura and the cooperation of footwork are indispensable. If you want to use your body and martial arts together in actual combat, you must thoroughly understand the martial arts, and you must hone them in continuous actual combat.
It took the two of them seven or eight days, and they were only able to just blend this martial art into actual combat, but once the battle dragged on for a long time, this body martial art could not be used.
After all these days of hurrying, when it was time to leave today, Amber proposed to say goodbye to everyone. Because further on, he entered Linshan County, which is also the county where the Kang family is located, and when he left the family, he promised the head of the family that he would not return to Linshan County to make him embarrassed.
Zuo Feng was the most reluctant of these people to Amber, and after everyone said goodbye, Zuo Feng secretly pulled Amber down to a secluded place. Then as if by magic, he found a heavy little burden, and Amber opened the burden in confusion and found that it was dozens of gold cakes.
Where did Amber dare to ask for such a large sum of money, Zuo Feng had no choice but to tell him the origin of the money, and Amber accepted the golden cakes. Then Zuo Feng mysteriously took out a book, seeing that the ink on it was still very new, Amber didn't pay too much attention to it, but until he saw the words on it, Amber stayed in place all of a sudden.
"Rune Explained"
The four not-so-beautiful words shocked Amber's whole person. The trembling palm slowly flipped through the book, the contents of which almost made Amber not breathe for a long time, and after reading for a while, he closed the book with some reluctance and slowly returned it to Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng originally thought that there was a problem with what he had written, but after listening to Amber's explanation, he realized that the use of this rune was generally only understood by a few empires and dozens of top alchemy masters, and such a valuable book really did not dare to be left.
Zuo Feng ignored Amber's refusal, and simply stuffed the book into Amber's arms, regardless of whether doing so would damage the book.
Anyway, I wrote the book myself, and because I had limited time, I could only write half of it, and the other half would be copied and given to Amber when I had the chance. ā
Thinking so in his heart, Zuo Feng left Amber and returned to the ship alone. And when he left, he said to Amber mysteriously: "Don't leave Linshan County too far, we will meet again soon."
Amber was confused, but Zuo Feng patted his ass and jumped directly onto the boat. Zuo Feng also knew how valuable these things he gave Amber were, but compared to the ones that the other party taught him since he knew Amber, this little bit was nothing.
Zuo Feng was still thinking about where Amber would settle down at this time, when he saw Su Yan and Amber at the bow of the boat standing up at the same time, and looked towards a hill in the distance.
"It's home, we're home!"
Amber muttered quietly, and Zuo Feng looked at the two of them with a frown. Su Yan turned his head, pointed to a bare hill in front of him and said, "After passing that hill, we will go further to Linshan County, and we will return to Kang's house soon." ā
