Chapter 38: Peace is Blessed

This time it was an old man who answered the door, with white hair but a very tender face. His face was expressionless, and he didn't look at people, but blocked the door and said, "There is no work for handymen here." Dumb gave a deep salute, took out the two pairs of rat teeth from his arms, handed them to the old man, and said respectfully: "Senior, your store is famous, so that the little one is very admired, today I saw the seniors, sure enough, the fairy wind bones, these two pairs of rat teeth are a little bit of heart, please smile." Seeing that the old man took it with a cold face, he saluted again: "I don't know if there will be this kind of goods in the future, can I exchange it for an equivalent spirit stone here?"

The old man nodded silently and motioned for Dumb to continue. Dumb took out four pairs of rat teeth from his arms cautiously and cautiously and handed them over.

"This pair is a little worse in color, plus the previous two pairs, barely five low-level spirit stones. "It was really surprising that the old man did not spare his belongings, and gave a very fair price.

In the past year, Dumb, who has been completely beaten back to his original form, doesn't know how many white eyes and nails he has encountered. On the contrary, it was the simplest way to deal with people, but this brother was inexplicably moved, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Dumb, and he didn't say much, so he handed over the five spirit stones, closed the door and left.

Dumb only remembered something at this moment, and muttered in his mouth: "The little surname is Zhao, thank you for your favor today." I only heard a sigh inside the door, and there was no more sound.

With such an experience, Dumb did not rush back, but went straight to the gathering place in the east of the city. Not surprisingly, after being blinded a few times and being driven away like mosquitoes and flies, I found out about the rent of nearby houses.

"There is no heavenly reason! There is no heavenly reason! A half-stone mansion is still on the edge of the ditch, and there is not even a yard, and it actually costs twenty lower grade spirit stones every month. It's faster than robbing."

Dumb all the way to the eastern suburbs of the hillside.

The boss of the loose cultivation gang that day was surnamed Fei Ye, and he refused to say anything about his life experience before he came to the Wind and Fire Realm, of course, everyone was like this. Whenever they talked about their hometown, the beggars' reactions were surprisingly consistent, first reading out the name of a place, and then the lingering emotion in their eyes came to an abrupt end. Some will suddenly become angry, so that the happy topic will be dissolved. Over time, Dumb learned to be obedient, and avoided it if he could, saving himself from being used as a punching bag.

But this time it was different, Boss Feiye looked at the dumb in front of him, was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "You are from Kyushu, it must be very prosperous and rich, and you are also well educated, I can feel it these days." ”

"In the past, I didn't mention to them that the old man came from 'Borneo', which is surrounded by the sea and the fragrance of flowers in all seasons...... Hey....don't talk about it. Before the old man came here, thousands of people in the capital saw off the old man, and at that time he thought that life was nothing more than that. In the first few years of my arrival, I also asked myself why I came here, my family, friends, wealth, and rights, like the past, are worth it. I think you've asked yourself more than once. ”

"The great array that has teleported me here is in the southeast of the country of Siam, where it is cold and snowy, and there is no sunlight for six months of the year. The old man was unwilling back then, and tried his best to go all the way north, always feeling that the glory of the past would come back. But the people who traveled with him died one by one, and they died meaninglessly. They, including you, were once dragons and phoenixes among men, and they must have been very prosperous before they came here, and some of them were even royal nobles, which is unspeakably expensive. Because of this, we are all extremely unwilling. But the more I came back, the more I felt that it was too easy in the past, and too difficult now. The more I walked, the more discouraged I became, and in the end, I just wanted to find a sunny place all year round and live my life. It is good to be able to improve one's self-cultivation, but saving one's life is the immediate thing. ”

"If you want to leave, the old man will not stop you, but there is a saying, 'Peace is a blessing', you have to remember - you must leave everything behind. The old man's mind is weak, but you are still young, maybe you can do something, or you can return to your hometown. ”

"In the old man's hometown, physical cultivation is the top, and everyone has been polishing their muscles and bones all their lives, not like you in the land of Kyushu. In this realm, the dual cultivation of body and breath is the king! The old man has some shoddy exercises here, and it is useless to know that he has risen to this realm with this, so it is better to pass them on to you. Maybe it can give you more life. ”

The old man interrupted Dumb's words of gratitude and read out a set of body quenching techniques, regardless of whether Dumb could remember it or not. After reading it again, it was read again and again until Dumb nodded, but without warning, he became angry and blasted Dumb out.

In the early morning of the second day, Dumb left the hillside alone and secretly left a spirit stone in Uncle Feiye's shack. Walking far away, seeing that there was no one in the open circle, Dumb suddenly choked up uncontrollably, how did he become the world he is now, he is favored by others but has nothing to repay, is this still the former Meng Lang real person?.........。

The years make people forget everything, and the hardships of survival make people have no scruples. But that obsession, that feeling, has no reason, let alone no evidence. Ambition is only spoken by successful people, and for losers, it is just a ......fool's dream.

Early one morning, shipwreck town, Treasure Pavilion, grocery store.

The man Wen Nai removed the bolt early in the morning, and was about to open the door to do business, when the figure under the steps startled him. Seeing that the person who came was just a homeless person, this senior fellow was not smooth, and he was about to scold loudly, when he saw that the person who came slowly threw a spirit stone, accompanied by a sincere smile.

Dumb showed two rows of white teeth, and the corners of his mouth looked bright and harmless, and he said, "Little brother, don't be dry." I'm here to exchange something. Ratskin with bone, twelve pairs of rat teeth. There are more guests later, so it's not good for me to be here, little brother, please hurry up. "At this time, there are not many people on the street, and this homeless person is generous, and the casual life here is difficult, and the behavior of rewarding the buddies is very rare. But Wen Nai was still not at ease, and inspected the goods very carefully, and only then did he deliver the twenty-four low-grade spirit stones. Looking at the figure of Dumb hurrying away, Wen Nai remembered the appearance of this homeless person, and also remembered the sentence: "I will come often." ”

It has been more than 2,000 miles away from Huitou Town, where Dumb first settled, and a year has passed. Dumb's hunting and exchanging steps have become more and more sophisticated. After passing through the previous town, Dumb finally decided to find a place to live temporarily in preparation for his registration. There are 500,000 monks in the shipwreck town, which is a big city among the Gobi border towns. Also, there is one place that is very special here, and that is the 'Gathering Hall'. Here, every mid-condensation monk can register and become the official population of the kingdom. This status can give you the right to enter the sect, do business, buy land, and so on. Of course, you can also do a lifetime of casual cultivation, and when you become a great cultivator, someone will naturally woo you, but unfortunately, what kind of chance is that.

Dumb hid in the shadows, observed Wen Nai for a long time, and made sure that this guy would not do anything to him for the time being. Only then did he slip out of the city gate and traveled sixty or seventy miles in the direction of the Gobi. Turning around a low rock mound, it slowed down. Carefully dodging a few traps under his feet, he disappeared into a low depression. These organs are not lethal to the monks of the Eight Classics, but they can make them aware of their foresight and have some precautions.

Finally feeling a trace of security, Dumb sat on the ground, took out the spirit stones he earned today, counted them one by one, and then carefully wiped them clean, wrapped them in the four corners of a coarse cloth, and then put them into a hidden hole in the ground, and finally carefully sprinkled a layer of old soil. This scene is no less than the lucky ones who pick up the leaks on the stalls, which are both pleasing to the eye from the bottom of the heart, but also irrepressible and uneasy.

On the twelfth day of pranayama, as soon as Dumb's physical strength recovered, he took out two spirit stones from his body as if he were doing a trick. This is his backhand, and he remembers Uncle Faye's sentence the most. There are three pits in the vicinity, each of which has about thirty spirit stones in it, and he always carries five or six on his body, and all the eggs are placed in the proper place. Even if he encounters a robbery in the near future, he will not hesitate to run away, even if there is a mistake, he does not want to cheapen others.

Embedded the bronze talisman with the Liuyun Slash, unscrewed the lid on the back of the handle, and pressed a spirit stone into it. In less than two breaths, the spirit stone melted and evaporated, and some miscellaneous residues drifted away with a dumb sigh. In the face of this greedy gold-swallowing machine, Dumb sighed and sighed. For a year, I was like feeding a greedy elephant, and I began to worry about dinner after breakfast, as long as I dared to feed it, I dared to eat, and I promised not to even fight every partition, and I was able to eat well, but unfortunately the work was not every day. Such a good appetite made Dumb envious, he could only consume three low-level spirit stones a day, and any more would be blocked by mixed substances, and he would be uncomfortable for several days. Moreover, it is often accompanied by pain in the tarsal bones and dizziness with cyclonic disorders.

These days, among the thirty-two runes on both sides of the bronze rune, only the first word has been lit, but it has consumed a full three hundred spirit stones, and those are all blood and sweat. This made Dumb feel an unprecedented sense of frustration, lamenting what kind of wealth he had spent in order to come here.

Once, Dumb was nearly gnawed off his right leg by a rock eater ant for the remains of a litter of bone rats, and there are still large scars of horror there. Another time, a group of homeless people attacked him, and the Liuyun was also taken away at the last moment, and Dumb tracked it for more than 800 miles before snatching it back. That time, this Meng Lang almost died. When loneliness hits, the faces of his parents, those beautiful faces, and the heartless jokes of his brothers, all of this comes to him like a tide, both nostalgic and tormenting. Now, he still has to talk to himself.

"Lao Tzu can't feed you, you can't give up Lao Tzu, if you have a bite of me, you will have a mouthful." Dumb to the gold-swallowing machine, like a pet, disgusted and spoiled. In fact, Dumb knew in his heart that if he wanted to reach the state of spirit before coming to the Wind and Fire Realm, he was afraid that he would have to be rich enough to rival the country. At the beginning, he wanted to fill the stomach of Xiuzhen with the Flowing Cloud Slash, and later he had the luxury of going back, but now he clearly realized: Since countless spirit stones can't fill this bottomless pit, it is better to use these spirit stones to make himself the person who is rich and rival the country first-the peerless powerhouse.

In order to maintain the power of the Flowing Cloud Slash, he spent one on his own cultivation, and he would supply one copper talisman accordingly, and Dumb would carefully put away the remaining spirit stones. All his belongings can be exchanged for a mid-rank spirit stone, but unfortunately he is not qualified to squander it, although the kind of refining without impurities is very tempting.

Seeing that today's third spirit stone turned into ashes at the dantian, Dumb completed the day's homework. Looking inside, there was a yellow ribbon around the galaxy-like vortex, which began to appear a month ago, and the texture was clearly visible at this time. The primary level of condensation is twofold, and there is still a tenfold heaven far away from the middle level. Three months ago, Dumb followed the family of the skumpling rat here like a pig, and found a very interesting phenomenon. When the monks here hunted, they did not dare to cross a mountain beam two hundred miles from the Gobi. The mountain beam is less than ten feet high, but it seems to stretch endlessly.

Dumb carefully observed, and found that there was an artificial rammed earth city wall, and the accumulation of years made it look like a mountain beam, which was called "Silent Ridge" by local cultivators.

After a lot of twists and turns, Dumb found out the reason: 10,000 years ago, during the Great War in the Northwest, there was a huge border city called 'Forget Worries', and an immortal monarch of Siam once fell here. Before he died, he struck a blow with all his might, sinking the fallen Forgotten Sorrow City into the ground, and at the same time sinking the flagship of the Kingdom of Hope. This is also the origin of Shipwreck Town.

Since the city of Forgotten Worries and millions of lonely souls sank underground, the red sandstone here has turned into billowing yellow sand, and what is even more deadly, the bottomless quicksand pit is unpredictable, but it has become the ultimate nest of rock eaters. If it weren't for the nest of unlucky fat rats, which instantly overturned in the quicksand, this Brother Meng Lang would have hung up.

At this time, the sun is setting, and life hangs in the sky, looking like a huge egg yolk. A heat wave on the horizon spithered, twisting the yolk to a crumbling edge. Dumb waited for the darkness to come, when his eyes could be opened, so that those who liked to walk nocturnally would have nothing to hide. And at this moment, it is also the hardest time of the day. Because, every time he is free, nostalgia hits him. Especially the last glance that Qing'er looked at him, he always hit him accurately, and the tremor and soreness of his heart spread to his nasal cavity until he ...... his eye sockets.

Fortunately, the night finally came as promised, a litter of bone rats walked on the edge of the Silent Ridge, Dumb pulled out the flowing cloud slash, embedded with the copper talisman, a flash of streamer, with the strength of the water and moon slash, broke through the air wave in front of the group of rats, "poof", a few pairs of small feet left on the ground, a few fat bodies rushed forward, and then rolled down into the yellow sand. Liuyun slashed Ruyi and flew back into his hand.

With Dumb's realm at this time, the strength and accuracy are perfect, although there is only one stroke of spiritual power on the bronze talisman, but the spiritual stones like a hill are piled up, making the power of the Liuyun Slash fatal. Thinking of the embarrassment of not being able to cut the rat skin a year ago, Dumb unconsciously whistled, Shi Shiran came to the prey and picked up the results with satisfaction.

Tonight's harvest is very good, two litters at once, minus the loss, should be able to score eighteen. Dumb walked towards the Silent Mountains, immersed in the joy of hunting and the joy of cultivating to the great advance.
