Text Chapter 13 The Beginning of the Edge
As they moved forward, Wu Lao and Yang Ming, one big and one young, had gradually approached the east of Luoshi Town. At this time, Yang Ming's physical strength had basically reached the limit. Beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks uncontrollably, drenching the entire shirt, and the figure of Wu Lao in front of him gradually became a little blurry...
However, Yang Ming has only one thought in his mind at the moment: that is, don't stop...
At this time, what supported Yang Ming was not the legs that were still struggling to move forward, but the unyielding faith that burned in his heart...
"Alright, Yang Ming. Let's stop and rest. Wu Lao suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Yang Ming with a deep and sharp gaze.
"Wu... Elder Wu, I'm also... I can hold on any longer. Yang Ming, who was out of breath, was already a little intermittent in his speech.
Wu Lao looked at Yang Ming, who was still gritting his teeth and insisting, but his face was slightly pale, and his eyes softened. "Rest and eat something, and we'll go on later. ”
After listening to Wu Lao's words, Yang Ming understood that Wu Lao's test had not ended, and immediately squatted on the ground as if relieved.
Wu Lao took out a few crystal clear fruits out of nowhere, leaned over and handed them to Yang Ming. The look motioned for him to eat.
Yang Ming, who was already hungry, picked up the fruit and hurriedly ate it, the fruit was slightly sour at first, but when it arrived in his stomach, he felt a warm current. The tired body also recovered a little with this warm current.
"This fruit is called "green jade fruit", which has a small effect of restoring physical strength, and you can eat these green jade fruits to replenish your physical strength. ”
Yang Ming was taken aback after hearing this. This is actually a green jade fruit! There happened to be an introduction to the green jade fruit in that book of heaven and earth monsters.
The green jade fruit, whose tree blooms once every three years and bears fruit every three years, is produced in the southeast region of the Lingtian Continent. This green jade fruit will not easily flow to the people, because this thing is strictly controlled by the people of one party. Even if a little bit goes to the people, it will be snapped up, and it is recorded in the books that there was a green jade fruit auctioned for 500 gold coins. This shows how popular it is.
However, for a martial old man who was already at the level of a spirit king, this green jade fruit was not an uncommon thing.
Yang Ming stared blankly at the few green jade fruits in front of him, which were worth about two thousand gold coins.
As Yang Ming ate these berries, he felt the warm current flowing through his whole body. It can be said that the physical strength is even better than at the beginning.
Yang Ming's eyes were a little moist, and this strange-tempered martial old man was not so unkind...
"How do you feel?" At this time, the figure of Wu Lao looked particularly tall against the background of the rising sun.
"Well, you're almost recovered!" Yang Ming looked confident.
"That's good, then it's time to really test you. We're going to get to the west of this town of Los Angeles as fast as we can, twice as far!"
"I'll speed up a little bit this time!" Wu Laohu looked at Yang Ming suspiciously, as if he was questioning him. But he got up and walked quickly to the west side.
Wu Lao's speed is not only a little faster, it is simply double that just now. However, Yang Ming only clenched his fists and secretly gritted his teeth and followed.
At the beginning, because of the green jade fruit, Yang Ming didn't feel any fatigue at first. However, as there were more and more people on the street, some people would intersperse between Wu Lao and Yang Ming, which caused Yang Ming to only speed up and bypass.
It may only be three or four steps away from Wu Lao, but it takes five or six steps to really get to Wu Lao's position.
The flow of people invisibly brought a lot of difficulties to this test, but a ruthlessness in Yang Ming's bones also came up. The more people in it, the faster he added, even if his breathing was already extremely difficult...
Yang Ming, who was walking briskly on the street with a basket on his back, looked a little unusual, and others drove towards him from time to time and pointed at him. There are also people whispering on the side.
Soon came to the door of the Lin Mansion, and the Lin Mansion at this time was no longer as closed as just now. At the door stood Steward Xu, who was giving instructions to a subordinate beside him. I saw Yang Ming passing in front of him with a basket on his back. The curious Steward Xu was about to ask, but when he saw the martial old man in front of him, he immediately shut up, turned his head and said something to his subordinates.
At this time, although Yang Ming may have just turned back to the gate of the Lin Mansion, the distance he walked was nearly half of the distance he had just gone to the east of Luoshi Town.
The tall back of Wu Lao in front of him began to gradually blur again, and Yang Ming knew that his physical strength might be close to the limit.
This has just walked through the gate of the Lin Mansion, and the next road. Yang Ming is worried that he may not be able to hold on this time...
Yang Ming felt that his legs were getting heavier and heavier, his pace was getting slower and slower, his sweat was blocking his vision, his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, it seemed that he was still too weak after all, so weak that he couldn't even finish this small Luoshi Town, let alone go to the outside world to see...
Just when Yang Ming was about to lose his hold on and was about to fall. Suddenly there was a warm current in the abdomen, and then it wandered towards the body sharply, and the fatigue of the body slowly disappeared where the warm current said.
Yang Ming's consciousness, which was almost blurred, gradually became sober. Could this be the effect of the green jade fruit just now? I'm afraid this green jade fruit doesn't just have the effect of restoring physical strength, right?
Yang Ming shook his head vigorously, and the sweat that covered his vision quickly rolled into the air, and Wu Lao's figure became clear.
Although the martial elder in front couldn't see the situation behind, he had been paying attention to Yang Ming, who was faltering. It wasn't until he felt his sonorous pulse beating again that Wu Lao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The west side of Luoshi Town gradually came into view, and Yang Ming finally saw the dawn of victory. In fact, there were several times when Yang Ming was about to lose track of Wu Lao halfway, I don't know if it was an illusion, Wu Lao slowed down. But as Yang Ming recovered a little bit of strength again, Wu Lao sped up his speed again...
"Well, it's okay, it's already here!" Wu Lao turned his head and looked at Yang Ming softly, and Yang Ming seemed to see a hint of satisfaction in that soft gaze.
Yang Ming squatted on the ground, let out a long sigh of relief, and took off the boots he was wearing on his feet, and there were already blood blisters on the soles of his feet.
"It's uncomfortable to wear your clothes when you're wet, I brought one for you when I came out, you can change it." Wu Lao's hoarse voice sounded again.
Yang Ming took off his clothes, and the place where his back was turned over the basket was bruised, and it was hard to imagine what made the nine-year-old boy persevere, maybe it was the arrogance that came from his bones, or
Xu Na's unyielding fighting spirit in his heart... In fact, even Yang Ming himself doesn't know why he can persevere...
Yang Ming changed into the dry clothes, and the breeze blew through the childish face of the young man. Everything made him feel so comfortable. Under the sunshine, the not handsome face looks particularly charming...
"Yang Ming, in fact, there are only a few bluestones in this basket, anyway, you won't need it when you go back, you just throw it away!" Although Wu Lao said this, his eyes revealed something different.
Yang Ming looked at the hidden light in Wu Lao's eyes, groaned slightly, and then said slowly: "Wu Lao, I'd better go back on my back, it's a bit of exercise!"
Wu Lao turned around, his face showed a look of satisfaction, in fact, it was reasonable for Yang Ming to throw the bluestone just now, but Wu Lao had a trace of hope in his heart. Obviously, Yang Ming's answer has poked at the glimmer of hope in Wu Lao's heart...
"Yang Ming, follow me to a nearby "Siyi Teahouse" to have something to eat. ”
Siyi Teahouse?What a strange name, but Yang Ming immediately kept up with Wu Lao's pace.
