Chapter 16: On the Road Again
"The one who saved me is a powerful old man, if he is willing, I am afraid that the entire Pingyang Town will be destroyed in an instant!"
"When I recovered, he left me a ring and stepped into the third dimension, which allowed me to pass through the first layer safely. Yang Xiu revealed the silver ring on his middle finger.
"For the past three years, I have come to the second dimension every once in a while, hoping to meet the old man again, but I have never seen him return from the third dimension. Perhaps he had crossed the third layer of space and entered a higher level. Maybe he's already buried in the third layer......"
There was a faint sense of loss between the words, which was unconsciously revealed.
Old man! Jiang Chen's first reaction was that he was old, but he hadn't returned for three years, and the time was not right. Maybe he returned while Yang Xiu was away? Maybe it wasn't Feng Lao at all.
"So on Wanglong Mountain that day, you deliberately introduced me to a glimmer of heaven, you guided me to escape here, and you waited for me in the first layer of space early, right?"
Yang Xiu nodded and motioned for Jiang Chen to continue.
"You knew early on that Bai Xiongshan would do something to me, and Bai Ling would be his excuse to let Bai Ling take me around to play, also for this. Since it's all about saving me, why didn't you remind me earlier?"
This is Jiang Chen's doubt, if it is really just to save himself, then such an arrangement will be superfluous.
After a long time, Yang Xiu finally spoke.
"Bai Xiongshan is cunning, greedy, and extremely cautious. Do you think that you and Bai Ling have no one to watch? If what I say is too clear, then the disaster may lead to my Yang family. With Bai Xiongshan's person, if I destroy his good deeds, he will definitely attack my Yang family secretly!"
"That's it"
Jiang Chen slowly stood up, walked to the sunlight at the entrance of the cave, and took a deep breath.
"Yang Xiu, you are really scary. But luckily you're not an enemy, otherwise I'd have to worry about my head. I made a note of this, and I owe you my life!"
In the last sentence, Jiang Chen said very solemnly. Indeed, if it weren't for Yang Xiu's arrangement, Jiang Chen wouldn't have escaped the clutches of Steward Zhang even if he had ten lives!
"You are not bad, among your peers, apart from Lin Fang, you are the second person I attach so much importance to! If it weren't for the authorities' fascination and Baixiong Mountain's conspiracy, I believe you would have been able to see the clues. ”
"Where do you plan to go after you recover?"
Yang Xiu turned his words and asked.
"Second Dragonclaw Academy!"
Jiang Chen's words were firm, this was the place he had to go. Embark on that path to becoming stronger.
Yang Xiu said thoughtfully.
"Count the days, this year's enrollment of the Second Dragon Claw Academy should be in half a month. Your body still needs to recuperate for a few days, this space is safe, you can rest here first, and I will pick you up in two days. ”
After Yang Xiu left, Jiang Chen walked out of the cave. This world seems to be no different from the outside world. But in this world, there is no concept of time at all. There is no alternation of the sun and the moon, and the seasons rotate.
It is simply impossible to imagine how the creatures here survive.
"No temperature changes, no air movement!"
Jiang Chen raised his head and stared at the sun in the sky, unable to see the clues with the naked eye, as radiant as the outside world. However, when you feel it carefully, your skin doesn't feel as hot as it should in the scorching sun.
"The world is so big, there are no surprises!"
Jiang Chen put away his curiosity, sat down under the roots of the tree, and began to comb the meridians. Although the trauma was severe, fortunately, the internal meridians were not too damaged.
"It seems that the vitality here is stronger than the outside world?"
Jiang Chen ran the exercises, and the meridians around him greedily sucked the vitality of this space. With Jiang Chen as the center, a small vitality vortex was formed.
Under the continuous washing of vitality, Jiang Chen's meridians began to turn red and swollen, and bursts of burning sensation continued to wash Jiang Chen's damaged meridians.
"Drink"
With Jiang Chen's burst of energy, the vitality absorbed into his body rushed towards his chest like a flood. When hundreds of rivers enter the sea, new body patterns are also condensed.
"Whew"
Jiang Chen let out a long breath of turbidity, he was originally still some distance away from breaking through, but after this battle, the grinding on the edge of life and death made his realm rise rapidly.
"Sure enough, it is a bit risky to forcibly condense the body pattern with such a body, if it weren't for the strong vitality here, I'm afraid I would have lost my life just now!"
"It's a bit of a risk, but it's also very rewarding. There are eight body patterns, and there is still half a month, and I will definitely condense Yuan Dan to enter the Dragon Claw Academy!"
Two days later, Yang Xiu arrived as agreed.
"After experiencing life and death, you have really become stronger!"
"If it doesn't become strong like this, how can it make you pay attention to it?"
"You're interesting, are you ready?
"Of course"
"Buzz"
As soon as Jiang Chen's words fell, a soft halo wrapped the two of them, and they quickly rose and went straight to the sun.
"The extremes of things must be reversed, and behind the extreme light is the ultimate darkness. This sun is the intersection of two layers of space!"
"Whew"
A loud roar announced that the two had arrived at the first dimension.
"Then there will be complete darkness, and you won't be able to see anything with the naked eye, including you and me!"
Darkness struck, and this was the first time Jiang Chen felt absolute darkness. In the face of such darkness, people instinctively produce fear.
"Bump"
Jiang Chen's heart tightened, as if something was attacking.
"Don't be nervous, this is normal, the fierce beasts in this space have a keen sense, and we, as outsiders, have naturally become their coveted delicacy. Attacks are common, but rest assured, this layer of protection is completely safe. ”
Yang Xiu's voice came from nearby, and Jiang Chen looked at it but couldn't see anything.
"We're going out, and further up is the exit"
Between the words, Yang Xiu's figure loomed.
"I can only send you here" Deep in the dense forest, Yang Xiu put away the ring, and the circle of light also dissipated.
"Thank you"
Jiang Chen saluted, turned around and embarked on the journey.
"Xiu'er, aren't you going to go outside for a while?"
After Jiang Chen left, a voice came from behind Yang Xiu. The latter did not look back, but looked at the abyss under him with a reluctant face.
"Hey, the appearance of that old man is good or bad for you. He hasn't been there for years, so why should you be too persistent?"
"You are ambitious, and that vast continent is the stage for you to show your strength!"
Yang Shihao's face was helpless, for Yang Xiu's choice, there was no right or wrong, after all, the old man's help to Yang Xiu was unique.
"Father, if it weren't for the old man, I might have died here. Even if you live, you will be treated like a madman. ”
"He gave me a second life, and I should keep my promise with him......"
"Hey, you kid"
......
Under a waterfall, Jiang Chen sat lazily by the fire, quietly waiting for the delicious barbecue.
Sunlight and flowing water, lawn barbecue. Jiang Chen hadn't felt this kind of peace and comfort for a long time.
"Hey, boy, hand over all your valuable things, I'm in a good mood today, and I can spare your life. ”
Robbers? Jiang Chen snorted coldly, his eyes swept away, and the strength of the people here was fully visible.
The strongest is only the five body lines, and I really think I am a cabbage?
"Hey, are you really screwed up, our eldest brother is talking to you, are you deaf?"
A knife-wielding Xiao Si stood up and scolded.
Seeing that Jiang Chen still didn't react, the person in charge couldn't help but change his face and glanced at that Xiao Si.
Xiao Si instantly understood that he couldn't find a chance to please the eldest brother, but he didn't expect a cake to fall from the sky, as long as he took this person down, the eldest brother would definitely have a new impression of me!
"Boy, you are looking for your own death, but don't blame me. ”
That Xiao Si picked up the big knife and slashed over.
"Whoosh"
A crisp whistle sounded, and the sharp arrow flew past Jiang Chen's hair, shooting straight into Xiao Si's chest!
Xiao Si didn't say a word, and then fell to the ground and died, and he didn't even see who shot the arrow.
"What a handsome archery!"
Jiang Chen secretly praised, turned his head and saw that four men with tattered clothes and strong tribal colors walked over. Among them was a child of three or four years old.
"Little brother, are you alright?"
The man who shot the arrow slowly walked to Jiang Chen's side and said with concern.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses and said, "Oh, no, it's okay."
"Big brother, don't be afraid. Jelly Bean's dad is very strong, and the bad guys can't beat him. ”
The child, touching Jiang Chen's hand, said innocently. In the eyes of children, the father is the sky, the most invincible existence.
"Luo Hou?"
The robber's face was gloomy, and as a small leader, he still knew something about the man in front of him. If you say that as a robber, you need a person's face, then this person is Luo Hou!
"Do you really want to be the enemy of my Jade King Mountain?"
Although he is not Luo Hou's opponent, he can't lose in momentum.
"First, I'm not friends with you Jade King Mountain, and second, do you think that you can represent Jade King Mountain as a small leader?"
Luo Hou's words can be said to have not given any face.
"Okay, Luo Hou, I have written down today's events. Wait for me! Let's go!"
"Cousin, let's just let them go, they will come out again in the future!"
Luo Hou said helplessly. "After all, it is a leader of Yuwang Mountain, even if you and I are not afraid of the retaliation of Yuwang Mountain, but we have to think about the fathers and villagers of Luojia Village. Xiao Si's life and death are insignificant to Yuwang Mountain. But the death of a leader, no matter how big or small, involves a matter of face. Our rash actions may bring endless trouble to Luojia Village!"
"Wow, big brother, this barbecue is delicious, can you bake some more jelly beans?"
"Hahaha"
Seeing Jelly Bean's appearance, everyone burst out laughing.
"Jelly Beans come here, the big brother was just frightened, and you also ate the big brother's lunch, isn't it good?"
Luo Hou picked up the jelly beans and said dotingly.
"Big brother, I'm sorry. Ate your lunch. It's because it's really fragrant, and the jelly beans can't be controlled. ”
