Volume 1: A Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter Seventy-Four: A Year in the Mountains
Chen Qingqing seemed to have disappeared, and no news came, the days of the morning breeze passed quietly, and no one appeared in the depths of Canglan Mountain.
In addition to daily cultivation, Chenfeng's favorite thing to do is to often go to Yunshan Mountain for a stroll alone.
Whether it is the first layer of the four seasons, the desolate and hot second layer of desert, or the third layer of snow, the morning breeze has left countless footprints.
Maybe it's because of Chen Qingqing's goodbye, or maybe it's because he read too many books that caused the teenager's heart to change at a certain moment, and now Chenfeng no longer looks like a child, he has his own thoughts, and he has begun to have his own views on many things.
There is no time in the mountains, and since Chen Qingqing left, a year has passed quietly.
During this year, in between busy cultivation, Lian Chengyu added an item to Chenfeng, which Lian Chengyu called jungle survival.
Morrowind would initially return to the thatched hut that evening, and later he would spend the night in the forest.
Jungle survival has inspired the wildness hidden in the heart of Morrowind, and it is through this jungle survival that Morrowind has undergone earth-shaking changes in all aspects.
In one year, he saw a lot of medicinal herbs that were recorded in books and not recorded, saw a lot of natural powers, and appreciated a lot of primitive scenery.
Of course, the most important thing is that through the continuous fight with wild beasts, he gradually realized the natural law of the jungle, which made his heart tenacious, and at the same time made his body undergo great changes.
He is only twelve years old, and although he is only about one and a half meters tall, his muscles are uniform and full of explosive power.
"Hoo ......"
The morning breeze exhaled heavily, and lay down on the grass. Not far away, a jackal fell in a pool of blood, his muscles and bones were broken, blood was flowing everywhere, and he could no longer die if he was already dead.
During this year, he hunted many junior demon beasts and mastered a lot of combat skills. There were a few times when I accidentally encountered an invincible powerful demon beast, Lian Chengyu "passed by very coincidentally" to help solve it.
Today, the refining body has become a small success, and in the battle of demon beasts, he has always fought with pure physical strength according to Lian Chengyu's instructions.
The only fly in the ointment is that Hongmeng Qi has once again entered a long period of accumulation, and in Lian Chengyu's words, it is in the "thick accumulation" stage.
"Why accumulate again?"
After recovering his physical strength, Chenfeng stood up and clenched his fists, and muttered to himself with some confusion, he still yearns for the many means used by the Qi Practitioner to control the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
"Naturally, the time has not yet come!" Lian Chengyu walked from the jungle with a smile, holding a pile of firewood in his arms, and looked at the jackal lying at the foot of the morning breeze and seemed to smile even happier.
In a year, a lot of changes can be seen in Chenfeng's body, but it seems that time has stood still on Lian Chengyu's body, or the shabby robe covered with patches, or the smiling face of the obscene philistine.
"I don't have enough seasoning for the barbecue!"
Chenfeng looked at the firewood in Lian Chengyu's arms and comprehended, groped for a while, and then said to Lian Chengyu with regret.
"What did you bring with you? I've got pepper, allspice, salt and pepper, and cumin. Lian Chengyu's face was full of regret after hearing this, and he asked again after feeling out a few bottles and cans on his body.
"Uh...... Then it's almost baked, and it's almost honey, so it's out of the way. Morrowind grinned, with a swarthy face and white teeth, looking particularly incongruous.
"Come on, come on, without further ado, work and work!" Lian Chengyu laughed and began to work with Chenfeng.
"How's it going?"
After the simple barbecue grill was set up, the two sat on the floor across the rack. Lian Chengyu took out the wine gourd, first took a sip of wine before asking with a smile.
"It's the same, nothing special. ”
Chenfeng squatted on the side and cleaned up the jackal's corpse with a familiar car, and returned without raising his head.
"Well, the cultivation is so-so, but it's jumping quite fast. Lian Chengyu smiled, although he said so, but there was unconcealed satisfaction in his eyes.
"Uncle Lian, where else can I get some books?"
Chenfeng had long been immune to Lian Chengyu's similar teasing, and suddenly seemed to remember something, so he raised his head and asked, changing the subject.
"What are the books that the Yunshan Library Pavilion doesn't have?"
Lian Chengyu didn't know why Chenfeng asked this, and he was a little confused for a while.
"Hey, it's not going to be finished, is it?"
Lian Chengyu didn't wait for Chenfeng to speak, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked with some horror.
"I'm done!"
Morning Wind said lightly, as if talking about something very ordinary.
Now Lian Chengyu was a little uncalm, looking at Chenfeng's eyes was like looking at a monster he had never seen before, although a lot of books in the Library Pavilion were lost, but what about two or three thousand volumes, I finished reading it in a year?
"Uh...... I read books quickly and have a good memory. ”
Morrowind also realized that it seemed a little difficult to understand after reading so many books in a year, so he clumsily explained.
"I don't have one on hand for the time being, but I can get some in a few days. ”
Lian Chengyu paused, stabilized his mood, and said. Seeing that the morning breeze had already put the barbecue on the grill, Lian Chengyu hurriedly lit a fire.
"By the way, since you've finished reading the book, you can go to the fourth floor to have a look!"
As soon as he lit the firewood, Lian Chengyu seemed to remember something, slapped his thigh, and looked like he suddenly realized.
"Can you go now? The last time I asked, didn't you say that it would take three or five years?"
"Go, go, how can you go?" Lian Chengyu said so, but he kept slandering in his heart, who would have thought that your kid would be able to finish reading those books in a year?
"What's on the fourth floor?" asked Lian Chengyu with interest while roasting meat.
"Don't you know if you kid went to Ming'er?" Lian Chengyu rolled his eyes and lay on the ground without any image.
The morning breeze no longer spoke, only the sound of the mountain wind stirring the treetops and the sizzle of roasting meat on the fire shuttled through the forest, one after another.
After a while, when the smell of meat came slowly, there was laughter and laughter in the valley again.
"Don't be sad, you kid won't be here for long. It's hard to listen to the old man's nagging in the future. ”
Lian Chengyu tore off a piece of barbecue meat, and his mouth was full of oil, and his voice was neither salty nor light.
Chenfeng was shocked when he heard Lian Chengyu's words, but he didn't speak immediately, just looked at Lian Chengyu in a daze, as if he wanted to confirm whether he had heard it wrong, or that Lian Chengyu was joking with him.
"What kind of eyes do you kid have, don't you always want to go outside to see?" Looking at Chenfeng's puzzled eyes, Lian Chengyu said angrily: "However, before you go out, there are still a few things to do, and when these few things are over, you can go outside to have a look." ”
"What's the matter?"
Morrowind still didn't take what Lian Chengyu said about going out seriously, or that he was not mentally prepared to go out at all, so he subconsciously thought that it was impossible.
"There's a lot going on, and the old man has only recently cleared up his thoughts. Come one by one. ”
There was no playful element in Lian Chengyu's words, but instead there was a sudden exhaustion, which even the morning breeze could hear.
Chenfeng looked at Lian Chengyu and didn't speak.
It was at this moment that he suddenly thought, has he neglected something for so many years? This old man next to him has always given everything for himself without regrets, and who knows his difficulties, contradictions, and loneliness?
"Have you ever thought about the past?"
Just when Chenfeng was secretly sad, Lian Chengyu asked with a smile, breaking the silence in the forest and pulling Chenfeng's thoughts back.
Morrowind shook his head silently, bowing his head to eat meat, he knew very little about the outside world, and he had never even thought about where he was going, let alone what he was going to do.
"Uncle Lian, are you really going?"
Chenfeng asked seriously, and it wasn't until this moment that he confirmed that he was really leaving, and Lian Chengyu wasn't joking.
"Nonsense, I'm so bored? I've even thought of a few ways out for you kid. ”
Lian Chengyu rolled his eyes, his distrust of Morrowind seemed to be very hurt.
Chenfeng looked at Lian Chengyu, smiled stupidly, didn't say anything, and waited for the following, as if he was used to relying on Lian Chengyu in major matters.
"First, you should know that there are many academies on the mainland, and everything is taught there, such as refining medicine, practicing qi, refining the body, etc., and you are also the right age. You can choose any academy anywhere you want. The advantage of studying in the academy is naturally that it is relatively free, and you can refine medicine, practice qi and so on at the same time......"
"Second, there are many famous sects in the outside world, with a long heritage, if you want, you can also worship any sect to continue cultivating, with your qualifications, it is not difficult to make a name. The sect is not very free, there are many intrigues and the like, and there is a miasma, if you really go away, in addition to cultivation, you will definitely have to deal with a lot of......"
"Third, although the old man doesn't move around often, he also has so many friends, of course, his skills are not bad, if you want to, you can also follow them to practice, the advantage is that it is very free, it's about the same as now, the bad thing is that you may have less knowledge, and it is estimated that you can't ......learn both medicine refining and qi training."
Lian Chengyu said it to himself, gave Chenfeng three choices, and explained the advantages of each choice in detail, although he did not make a clear decision for Chenfeng, but the meaning of the words can be heard by deaf people.
"Don't rush, think slowly, there's still time. I've got to get ready, toil, toil......"
Without waiting for the morning breeze to speak, Lian Chengyu grabbed a piece of barbecue and disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the direction in which Lian Chengyu left, thinking about what Lian Chengyu said just now, Chenfeng's heart felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
There is sudden excitement, there is the guilt of waking up to Lian Chengyu, and there is the longing and hesitation of the unknown future.
At this time, he suddenly missed Chen Qingqing very much, even if he couldn't discuss it together, even if he was around, when Chen Qingqing was by his side, his heart would never be so messy.
"Are you really leaving?"
Looking at the familiar surroundings, the morning breeze was a little trance-like.
Why do people do this, they don't know how to cherish until they are about to lose!
