"Crackling"

Looking at the firewood that burned for nearly an hour, but was still burning very strongly, Zhang Hao's heart was full of weirdness, the firewood with the thickness of the general arm should be burned in the fire for half an hour and should be turned into ashes, but now the dry firewood made by the old man is only the thickness of a finger, but it has been burning for so long, and it still maintains its torso, as if it will never be burned.

Standing up, picking up the salt and oil and turning over the fragrant barbecue on the fire, smearing it evenly again, glancing at the old man with little stars in his eyes and constantly smashing his mouth out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Grandpa, is it fragrant?"

Sniffling deeply, the old man reveled and said: "It's really fragrant, to be honest, the old man has lived for so long, and he has never smelled such fragrant barbecue, your craftsmanship is really good." ”

Zhang Hao casually tore off a large piece of golden barbecue, walked back to the old man, and saw the other party's eyes staring at the barbecue in his hand, grinning: "As long as you teach me the trick just now, the kid will loosen the secret of this barbecue to you, how about it?"

"Boy is a good abacus, but you have to taste the meat first, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao handed over the barbecue in his hand without hesitation. Seeing that this old man was completely different from the image of such a tall person just now, he was holding the barbecue with both hands, eating seastuffs all the time, and from time to time rubbing his oil-stained hands on his clothes.

But for a minute, seeing that almost a pound of barbecue meat blinked into the old man's stomach, Zhang Hao sat down next to the old man and said, "Grandpa, what happened to the green light in your hand just now, why does it contain such a strong breath of life?"

"Oh?" wiped his hands on his robe, and the old man's eyes flashed with a strange color: "You can actually sense the breath of life on the old man's strength?"

Zhang Hao nodded lightly, and when he heard the other party talk about strength, he was even more sure that the old man in front of him must be a master.

Looking at the faint white mountains in front of him, the old man was silent. After a long while, he retracted his gaze and said: "On the summoner shijie, the soul and the body coexist, with the cultivation, the illusionist can break through the twelve meridians of the canon and reach the sevenfold phantom body, and the strength can be condensed into the essence, and then the eightfold, ninfold, and even the supreme tenfold phantom body will break away from the shackles of heaven and earth, and connect with the origin of heaven and earth, and the strength will contain the law of the origin of heaven and earth." The strength of the old man is the power of the origin of the wood system. ”

After that, the old man turned his head and stared at Zhang Hao's eyes with a shocked face, and said: "But the old man is very puzzled, your soul has not yet been opened, how can you cultivate the sevenfold small phantom body? And looking at the strength of your strength, it seems that it is not a matter of a day or two to reach this realm, in a situation like yours, even if the old man has lived for nearly a thousand years and has never been yujian, can you tell the old man the reason for this?"

Zhang Hao was already surprised when he vaguely heard the other party's vague words about the strength of the phantom body, but then when he heard the words thousand years, he couldn't help but change color in shock, and exclaimed: "How can a person live for a thousand years?"

The old man smiled faintly and said: "The illusionist cultivates the phantom body, contracts the phantom beast, and perceives the energy of heaven and earth, the stronger the strength, the longer he will live, there are still strange creatures that have survived from ancient times on the Zhengyuan Dalu, and they have lived for tens of thousands of years, this is not an uncommon thing, just take you now, although the divine soul has not been opened, but with the strength of the seventh-level phantom body, you should be able to live to nearly two hundred years old without any problem." ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused and said, "These are the common sense of the summoner Shijie, and there is nothing unusual, can you tell the old man the reason for your phantom body?"

Suppressing the strong shock in his heart, Zhang Hao came back to his senses, felt the bright eyes of the old man, his heart twitched, and then his face flickered in confusion: "I don't know, I still remember four months ago, I had a high fever, lying in bed for nearly two months, listening to my mother, I invited a lot of doctors to treat me, but they were not cured, and then after waking up for no reason, I felt much stronger than before." ”

Hearing such an explanation, the old man seemed to be very dissatisfied, and then asked: "Just now, the old man saw that the boxing method you fought was thick but soft, and it gathered a little force, and the explosive power was extremely strong, this phantom body cultivation boxing method is definitely superior, the old man has never seen it on dalu, I don't know where you learned it?"

"Right here. ”

Seeing that the old man had to break the sand pot and ask in the end, Zhang Hao simply continued to talk nonsense, stood up and pointed to the white grass not far behind him, and said: "That's it, a few days after waking up from fever, I walked around the periphery of this Wuyun Mountain alone, Yujian is a black-robed man, that person is also an old grandfather, with a big bald head and a beard hanging down to his heart. ”

Thinking back to the appearance of Zen Qian, Zhang Hao couldn't help but bring a touch of sadness in his eyes, and sighed: "The old man taught me this set of boxing techniques, and then instructed me for a few days before disappearing, in the past few months, I have come here every day to fight, just to yujian his old man." ”

"Is that so?" the old man's brows furrowed tightly, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the depressed loneliness on Zhang Hao's face, he couldn't help but choose to believe it, and said, "Boy, you are really lucky, it is estimated that you are a master." ”

"When you learned boxing techniques from that old man, did he know that your body was seriously congested, there were a lot of impurities in the meridians, and your body was weak, so it was not even possible to force it through with the help of external forces?" the old man said strangely.

"No, I don't. Recalling the praise of his talent in his previous life, Zhang Hao's face couldn't help but flash a touch of pride, and he said: "When the old man taught me boxing, he was surprised by my talent, saying that I was born with twelve meridians in my body, which was a good material for practicing martial arts, which taught me Diji Boxing." ”

"Innate opening of the twelve meridians? Nonsense! This is impossible!" The old man stood up abruptly and said, "This is absolutely impossible!"

His face changed slightly, and it seemed that the old man found that his reaction was a little extreme, and he hurriedly returned to normal, and secretly wondered in his heart: Could it be that the kid had a fever?

"Boy, do you remember anything unusual when you had a fever, or a lot of black dirt that smelled on your body?" asked the old man.

Hearing the sound, the corners of Zhang Hao's mouth unconsciously withdrew a smile, the cultivation of the human body, every time the meridians are opened, many impurities in the body will be brought out, and after the washing of the energy of heaven and earth, the human body will become more and more pure, so as to be able to further communicate with heaven and earth, and obtain a more powerful liliang.

"It seems to be!" Zhang Hao frowned and made a reminiscence, after all, he knew his origin best, and such secrets must not be revealed to everyone, so he followed the old man's words and said: "My mother said that in the two months when I was in a fever and coma, there was always a smelly dirt on my body for no reason, and she never stopped for two months, and she always scrubbed my body. ”

"I see. ”

The old man nodded suddenly, as if he remembered something, his face flushed, and his voice trembled: "Four months ago, I was in a coma for nearly two months, which means that you have been practicing for two months...... Hiss ......"

The old man couldn't help but gasp and said, "Even if you open up the twelve meridians of the canon, you have cultivated the sevenfold phantom body in two months?"

Immediately after, the old man forcibly suppressed the monstrous waves in his heart, looked at Zhang Hao as if he was about to eat people, and stared at the latter with a layer of pimples.

After a long time, the old man withdrew his gaze, but his face was still undisguised with excitement, and he let out a sigh of relief, and then said solemnly: "Do you want to become a great illusionist?"

"Think!" replied with almost no hesitation, Zhang Hao, who stayed in the small mountain village, had no way to contact Shijie outside, and now the old man in front of him was obviously unfathomable, thinking of the other party's methods just now, his face was full of longing.

"Okay, don't tell outsiders about this, you must keep it secret, the most important thing we have to do now ......"

Seeing this, a deep essence shot out of the old man's eyes, and he turned to look at the excited Zhang Hao, and said, "Eat enough first!"

"Wipe ......"

Looking at the old man who waved his hand to extinguish the fire, picked up the more than twenty catties of barbecue with both hands and gnawed it violently, Zhang Hao's cheeks trembled, and he immediately strode over and said, "Leave me some ......"

......

Even if the sun rises in early winter, it always gives people a cold feeling, and the sun shining on the snow-white earth not only does not make people feel warm, but the melting of the snow adds a layer of coldness.

At the entrance of Wuyun Village, Zhang Hao pulled the tree vine with one hand, and the tree vine was tied to the end of a wooden frame tied up with wood behind the back, on which was placed the corpse of the Iron Horned Garo Beast, although it was delayed with the old man for some time, but now it is only a little more than seven o'clock in the morning, plus it is winter, so the villagers have not gotten up yet, only a few people get up early to go to the mountain to cut wood, so the whole village seems deserted, but no one notices Zhang Hao.

"What the hell? I just thought that I could find a master who could teach me two tricks, and maybe I could solve the problem of the soul in my brain, but who knew that I would flash as soon as I was full, and said that I would meet there tomorrow. ”

Looking at the door not far away, Zhang Hao snorted: "Maybe it's an old man who cheats and cheats, and loves to show off." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Hao took two steps forward, pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and walked in.

Seeing Zhang Hao stepping into the courtyard with blood stained, Zhao Lan's face changed, and he hurriedly greeted him, and said with concern: "Xiao Hao, what's wrong with you?"

Feeling the worry on Zhao Lan's face, Zhang Hao hurriedly put down the vine in his hand and explained: "Mother, I'm fine, I'm not boxing this morning, and I found a dead iron-horned Garo beast in the forest, and when I saw that there was no one around, I pulled it back, this is a monster, and it is full of money." ”

After checking back and forth, and finding that Zhang Hao was indeed not injured, Zhao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the corpse of the demonic beast on the wooden frame, and said with some solemnity: "Aren't all demonic beasts living on Wuyun Mountain, why do demonic beasts also appear on the mountain behind our house?" Go, hurry up and call your Uncle Menghai to come and see, is there something wrong?"

Coming to this shijie, Zhao Lan had more or less heard about some demonic beasts and illusionists, and she had also seen the blood-eyed brute bull of Menghai with her own eyes, and knew the power of these demonic beasts, so at this moment, she couldn't help but have a sad look on her face, after all, the outer mountains of Wuyun Mountain were next to Wuyun Village, and if those demonic beasts rushed to the village, they would definitely cause casualties.

"Sister Zhao, what's going on?"

The next moment, the door of the courtyard that had not yet been closed was gently pushed open, and Menghai's burly body walked in, and as soon as the words fell, his eyes shifted to the corpse on the ground, and immediately his eyes froze, and said, "This is a demonic beast?"

Before Zhang Hao and the others could speak, Menghai squatted down, stretched out his hand and pressed on the bloody corpse, and said in a shocked tone: "This is the Iron Horned Garo Beast, looking at the strength of the flesh and blood on this body, it seems that it has reached five stars." ”

"Brother Hao, what's wrong with you?" Meng Yurou, who followed closely, saw the blood stains on Zhang Hao's body at a glance, took three steps and made two steps, came to the former's side and looked up and down, her little face was full of concern.

His eyes flashed soft, signaling that he was fine, Zhang Hao smiled at Meng Yurou, and immediately reached into his arms, touched a glowing blood bead, and said: "Uncle Menghai has good eyesight, this Iron Horned Garo Beast is indeed a five-star level, this is the blood pill in its brain domain." ”

Hearing this, Menghai's body trembled, his eyes stared at the bead in Zhang Hao's hand, he took two steps quickly, took the blood bead, looked at it carefully, and then said incredulously: "You killed this Iron Horned Garo Beast, didn't you?"

"Yes, I didn't kill it?" Zhang Hao hurriedly explained.

Meng Hai frowned, and then asked, "You didn't kill it?"

"Yes, I didn't kill it. ”

"Wipe ...... Did you kill it?" Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Menghai was even more puzzled, and the other party's answers were connected, and he didn't hear a reason after listening to it twice.

"Uncle Menghai, your ears are not good to use? I said, I really didn't kill it. ”

Thinking of the answer just now, if there was really some misunderstanding when they were connected, Zhang Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly and responded again......
