Text Chapter 24 Bragging
The village is naturally uninhabitable, and after discussing it, it was decided to find a temporary camping spot at the entrance of the village first.
It was a grassy plain.
The reason why it was chosen is also because it is a necessary place to go up and down the mountain and enter the village, and the transportation is convenient, so that the villagers can transport building materials from the mountain to the village in the future and rebuild their homes.
After determining the location, we immediately arranged manpower and took local materials, and began the intensive construction: logging, piling, rope braiding, fixing, and covering...... Soon, a dozen or so makeshift tents were erected before dark, each tent could hold roughly ten bunks, in two rows, with a small aisle in between.
On the other side, the women had also set up their stoves and started to make fires for cooking. For a time, the mountains and plains were full of fireworks in the world, lively and extraordinary, and occasionally there were bursts of aroma of food, which came to the nose and aroused people's appetite.
In a clear spring in the mountains, his sturdy body was soaked.
The waterfall that falls from the height is like mercury pouring on the ground, and it is as clean as a stream.
The water is emerald and crystal clear. There are sparkling waves on the surface of the water, and there are swimming fish in the water.
Bathing in the wonders, even if it is the wonderland of Yaochi, it is nothing more than that!
He was enjoying himself at the moment, closing his eyes.
Half an hour ago, Old Man Sun said that his half-human, half-ghost, unclothed appearance looked too cold, so he asked people to bring him here and let Haosheng clean it.
The dirt is washed away, and the remodeled skin shines in the waves, and the whole body glows with unprecedented vitality.
Not only that, but the bones of his whole body have also become extremely hard, and in an understatement, they can be fossilized into powder.
What's even more surprising is that with the success of his foundation, he ushered in an all-round transformation.
The spiritual power in the dantian is flowing rapidly in liquid form, and its quality and quantity are ten million times that of the original gaseous state in the Qi refining period, as if there is infinite spiritual power available for extraction!
At the same time, in terms of perception, the change is also very obvious. According to the current sense of hearing, eyesight, and sense, even though the small sounds and slight movements within a thousand meters of distance in the darkness can be mastered!
After soaking for nearly half an hour, he saw that it was getting dark, so he reluctantly climbed ashore and took out a set of clean clothes from the storage bag to change.
This storage bag was originally put away by Old Man Sun when he was injured and unconscious, and at the same time he helped him change his original bloody clothes. Later, the house collapsed and the storage bags were pressed into the rubble.
After the storm was over, when Old Man Sun went to the ruins to look for bedding and other belongings, he found them all back.
After changing his clothes, he reached into the storage bag again and pulled out a flying sword from inside.
This is a very ordinary flying sword, not a rare treasure! It was left by his master for him to use after the foundation was successfully built. During the Qi refining period, he had also tried the method a few times, but he was limited to the lack of spiritual power in his body and could not drive it.
It's different now, after easily injecting spiritual power, the sword seems to have life, and it begins to listen to him and be driven by him.
Flying swords are quite useful for monks.
Monks below the Yuan Infant Stage cannot fly out of thin air, and must rely on artifacts or spirit animals. These artifacts include flying swords, flying boats, flying ships, etc., among which flying swords are the most widely used. Compared with other flying objects, it has a higher cost performance: an ordinary flying sword can be obtained by spending not many spirit stones on the market. At the same time, in the process of use, the spiritual power consumed is also the least.
Of course, this refers only to ordinary flying swords. Flying swords, according to their quality and performance, are also divided into three, six, nine and other ,️ high-grade flying swords, which are worth a lot of money, and they are not something that ordinary monks can afford. As for flying boats and flying ships, they are fast and comfortable, but the cost of use is also extremely high! Non-local tyrants and Wang people are not allowed to use them!
And what about spirit animals? This is about chance. There are flying spirit beasts for you to drive, and you must first let it recognize its master! From this point of view, it is even more rare than the above three flying objects!
Therefore, Edgeworth's flight has become the main mode of travel for monks below the age of the general Yuan. There is another wonderful thing about this way of traveling: people stand proudly on swords, flying in the air, that shape, that momentum - very stylish, isn't it?
Of course, the most important use of the flying sword is its use as a combat tool, especially for medium and long-range attacks and defenses.
When he saw that he could drive the flying sword at this time, he was overjoyed, and he kept pinching the sword trick, making it go straight, turn, and whirl in mid-air...... High or low, left and right......
Slowly, from the initial jerky, to a little dexterous.
He knew that at this stage, he was only in the early stage of induction and running-in with this sword. There is still a long way to go before Edgeworth can truly fly or even defeat the enemy!
After practicing for about a pillar of incense, the sky has been blackened.
He took his sword and went down the hill by the way he had come......
By the time we got to the camping ground below, there were already several bonfires lit there.
Although it is dog days now, the humidity in the mountains at night is heavy. Bonfires can be used to illuminate and dehumidify, and to repel the night attacks of wild beasts in the mountains.
At this time, it happened to catch up with the villagers' meals. The old and young of the Sun family and a large number of people from afar waved at him.
As he walked straight over, he noticed that more and more villagers were looking at him.
Faced with this curious, puzzled, and surprised face, but absolutely friendly and unpretentious, he suddenly felt that his steps became heavier and heavier!
The main culprit who caused their homes to be destroyed and they slept in the wilderness was himself! And the hateful thing is that he still doesn't even have the courage to admit his mistakes, so a large group of people are still kept in the dark!
They just thought it was a natural disaster!
If they find out what happened, will they forgive themselves? Will they continue to be so kind to themselves? Will they just drive me away? Or will they beat me up and then drive them away?......
These countless questions ultimately boil down to one – do I want to confess or not?
This question, in his heart, was repeatedly entangled.
As a result, when it came time to eat, I was not in the mood. Yes, they demolished other people's houses and came to eat and drink - this is also, there is really no one!
And the attitude of the villagers towards him has become closer and closer.
That's how they are: after the initial period of curiosity, they return to the essence of enthusiasm. When eating, he began to persuade this and that, wishing that he could eat more and eat until he could. The two closest saw that he was slow to move his chopsticks, and when he was recognizant and polite, they put vegetables into his bowl from time to time.
"Why don't you eat rice and not vegetables?"
He shook his head repeatedly, "No, no...... That's all good......"
"Yes, yes! Today this is Aunt Li's craft, she is the first spoonful in our village......! Come, try it!"
"Wang Yidao, you can really shoot this sycophant! Aunt Li has to add more chopsticks and meat to him!"
"Haha! This can be had! Fill your stomach and have a lot of work tomorrow!"
......
A group of people talked and laughed, and it was very lively.
"Yes...... Come on, eat more......" The tall man grinned at him.
"Enough, enough...... I'm full......" he said, bowing his head.
"How is it enough? Just eat so little, look at you—the amount of food should be not small. The tall man tried to persuade the dish, but he stopped him by covering the bowl with his hand.
"I hear—you're from the 'outside world'?" the tall man asked again.
He didn't understand what "outside world" meant, but after thinking about it, he nodded.
"Then tell us, what is the 'outside world' like?" As soon as he asked, many pairs of chopsticks stopped, and everyone pricked up their ears to hear something new.
"I don't know...... What exactly do you want to know?"
"Whatever, whatever—anything...... The best, all said!"
How can that be said!
"The 'outside world' you are referring to is very large......," he thought for a moment, and then he said: "How big is it? Let's talk about the distance spanned from east to west, according to the walking speed of mortals, it will take three years to walk, and the north-south length is slightly shorter, and it will take two years to complete......
Before he finished speaking, there was an uproar, and everyone 人️ thought: If you don't eat, drink, or sleep, you won't be able to walk for three years...... Oh my God, how big that place must be!
Seeing their reaction, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, in fact, he didn't know how big his original continent was, and he hadn't been to many places in person, many of them were listening to what his master was saying, but now that the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but add some fuel and vinegar.
"This continent is divided into five major continents: Dongyi Continent, Southern Barbarian Continent, Western Shu Continent, Northern Wilderness Continent and Central Continent, during which there are hundreds of large and small countries, including ten thousand times the country and some small states, and the total population together should be tens of billions......
At this point, the surroundings are going to be chaotic again - I can't break my fingers when I hear him talk about the numbers!
"The place where I originally live belongs to Dongyizhou, which is the largest of the five continents, but if you talk about wealth, it must be led by Zhongzhou. The largest country in Central Continent is called 'Tianshi Country', and it is also the most prosperous place. There are millions of people in the imperial capital, high-rise buildings, and businessmen gathered. The streets were bustling with traffic, and the crowd was bustling. Everywhere there are hawkers shouting, and you can see a dazzling array of goods everywhere...... What silk and satin, what treasures, what groceries from the north and south, what delicacies......"
He spoke like a river, and he listened to it all around. Although there are some things he said that he still don't understand, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't affect their imagination and longing for that beautiful scene in the slightest!
"Speaking of deliciousness, I have to mention the best restaurant there, the signboard of 'Tianxian Building' -- 'Falling Fairy Chicken'! Why is it called 'Falling Fairy Chicken'? You think, as the name suggests, even the gods refuse to go after eating it, how delicious it must be! It is said that even across ten streets, you can smell the fragrance wafting from there——"
"Goo Dong", "Goo Dong" ...... The sound of swallowing saliva is repeated.
"Little brother, is that chicken really as delicious as you say?" As the words fell, the third of the four elders squeezed out of the crowd, and his eyes were shining with a different kind of brilliance.
"Then is there any false? My master ......" When the words came to his mouth, he stopped abruptly, and he wanted to say-"My master, an old glutton, will not be wrong in relaying it personally!" As soon as he thought it was wrong, he immediately changed his words: "I have tasted it with my own mouth, so naturally it is not fake!"
"Oh, oh!"
Just as he was about to say this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a pair of snow-white leaves stretched out from the pile in front of him, and brought a bowl of freshly washed fruit, he subconsciously reached out to take it, and saw a shy face in the crack of the person, and also looked at him.
Looking at each other, the other party immediately turned his gaze away and moved to the side with a red face......
bragging about making up a story, but making himself more popular in front of these people. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing? Thinking so, I sighed silently in my heart: "I forgot the thing about admitting my mistake, and I forgot ......."
"It would be nice if I could get along with them all the time......
"Little brother, we've been talking for a long time, but we haven't asked you for your name?"
"Don't ask—"
"Oh...... Is there something unspeakable?" asked the third again.
"No, I don't. ”
"Please let me know. ”
"I said it—don't ask. ”
“......”
The third child is obviously a little displeased, no matter how I say that I am also an elder, I asked your name so politely, and I didn't save face at all!
When he saw the third child's face change, and then looked at the villagers, he seemed to be stunned, and then he remembered the misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: "I mean, my name is Mo Wen!"
"Ahh......h
The audience was dumbfounded.
How could anyone have such a strange name?
He had to smile awkwardly: "I was abandoned by my parents since I was a child, and I was brought up by my master, so I don't know what my surname is? ”
"I see—" The crowd snapped.
