Chapter 22: Apprenticeship

The lost forests are boundless, and the mountains sing and wind......

And somewhere in the Lost Forest, the cliffs are towering into the clouds, looking down at the sky, the whole cliff is arc-shaped, like a graceful moon resting.

A silver-white waterfall sloped down from the slender waist, like the nine heavens of the stars flowing straight down, and like the moon goddess lightly covered by the smoke veil ornament falling.

The falling Milky Way rushes down, jumping into the wide emerald green pool, its momentum is huge, surging like thunder, the torrent is churning, the water mist is splashing, and the hazy cover is on the cold pool, like a fairy and a fantasy.

In the meantime, there is a small island floating, the island is like spring all year round, a hundred flowers compete for wonders, elixirs are everywhere, lingering around a thatched hut, a good pastoral scene back to the basics!

The old man in the thatched house was skinny, hunched and stiff, the white silver silk lazily hung on the undulating and powerful scalp, and above the wrinkles of benevolent love, a pair of tiger eyes showed the vicissitudes of life but were abnormal, and the sword eyebrows were full of spirit.

The old man kept pouring potion into the huge pool of water in front of him, seemingly slow and sonorous, breathing smoothly without a trace of fatigue.

In the medicine pool in front of him, there were soaking in one person, one cow and one cloud, obviously Yi Tian and the Tiger Striped Bull Demon who were seriously injured by Wei Teng, as well as the ghostly mist.

The potion rushed into the medicine pool, and the majestic medicinal spiritual power burst into Yi Tian's body, filling his limbs and repairing the terrifying blood hole in his abdomen.

After the old man finished doing this, his thin hands behind his back, his eyes stared at Yi Tian intently, revealing a sense of thought, and whispering in his mouth.

"Big brother, this kid looks like you?"

"But...... Impossible!, back then ......"

"And what's going on with that power in his body?"

"The most difficult power in the world to control is in his body, I don't know if it's good or bad?"

"That's a power that even you can't control! Although it is not absorbed by the real fusion, although there is a trace of it, not everyone can absorb it, but that power has changed his physique......"

"Hey, maybe it's a coincidence that the physique changed by that power, and at the same time, it also made the appearance similar to you, the first person!"

Yi Tian in the medicine pool let out a moan, interrupting the old man's thoughts......

Ten days later, Yi Tian and the old man sat in the small courtyard in front of the house, Yi Tian's abdomen was still wrapped in a layer of white veil, and it was difficult to stand, so he could only lie on the rattan chair and watch quietly.

The scenery in the distance was unobstructed, and the infinite scenery was in full view, which made Yi Tian's pale cheeks appear a little drunken red, and he was refreshed and relaxed.

This is the fifth day since he woke up, and he spent the previous five days in a medicine pool in a dimly lit hut, and he has been in a coma.

Leaving the house for the first time today is the most beautiful for Yi Tian, the first time to be so close to nature, lying quietly under the wind and sun.

"I'm really sorry! I can't get up and kneel down to thank my predecessors for saving my life!" Yi Tian apologized and was ashamed.

"It's okay, it's a gesture, why bother!" the old man smiled kindly.

"I don't know the name of the senior?" Yi Tian raised his hand and saluted.

"Hey, don't say it! I'm almost forgetting ......" The old man sighed lightly, and the endless vicissitudes overflowed, then smiled, and changed the subject: "I don't know where the little brother was born?"

Yi Tian saw that the old man changed the topic, as if to cover up an unknown history, although he was curious, it was not easy to ask the root cause, people saved his life, so he tried his best to heal himself and he was a guest, so he dispelled this idea.

The younger generation has been an orphan since childhood...... I don't know where my home is!" Yi Tian said to the old man.

The old man seemed to be lost in thought, and forgot to respond for a moment.

"Is there a problem, senior?" Yi Tian pulled the old man back to reality.

The old man still smiled: "It's nothing, just recalling some past events, little brother Yi Tian smiled!"

"Little brother Yi Tian, your injury will definitely recover in a few days, but it's just ......," the old man said with concern, but he stopped talking about it.

Yi Tian didn't know why, looking at the old man, there seemed to be an ominous premonition in his heart, it was very likely to be related to his injury, what was the specific problem, the old man was a little evasive, embarrassed, obviously the body left the root of the disease, the old man's medical skills are useless, think about the severity of the injury, will make the old man embarrassed.

These days, although he is indoors, for this old man who rarely takes the initiative to speak, he probably knows from the surface that the old man's medical skills are excellent, otherwise he can't fight for his life with the king of Hades, and he will be saved by a thread, and a bull and a cloud can be saved, which shows that the medical skills are by no means ordinary.

Moreover, he can save people from Wei Teng, who is a third-order spirit level, and his strength is not low, it seems that there should be some master who hides here, and the person who can escape the world in such a fierce place is absolutely extraordinary!

Even if I don't know how terrifying the Lost Forest is, I know from the mouths of Lan Yu and the others that it is not for nothing that the Lost Forest can be called one of the most dangerous forbidden places on the mainland.

If you can live here, you must have a way to survive, but you never thought that there would be such a pure land outside the world in the dangerous Jedi, and this may also be an unsolved mystery on the mainland.

"The predecessors saved the kid in danger, and the kindness was recreated, the great kindness is difficult to repay, there is no need to hide it, please tell the truth!" Yi Tian broke the embarrassment and said.

"That's good!" the old man said, "There are two things, you have to be mentally prepared......"

The old man still didn't say it directly, but gave Yi Tian a preventive shot first.

Seeing the indecision between the old man's eyebrows and his uncertain words, Yi Tian was even more curious about what else was worth hiding in himself, and he couldn't help but be a little dignified.

"Senior, please say, the kid can stand it!" Yi Tian frowned.

The old man listened to Yi Tian's words, and his heart was slightly relieved: "The first thing is related to your cultivation!"

"Cultivation?" Yi Tian was puzzled.

If you talk about cultivation, it seems that you have not cultivated at all, and I don't know what the old man is referring to, is it related to the future...... Yi Tian did not interrupt the old man's words and listened quietly.

"Your abdomen was pierced by spiritual power, causing huge trauma, and I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate in the future...... I've been searching for all the ways lately and I don't have a clue, maybe there is a way but I don't know, you give me time I think I can cure you," the old man hurriedly comforted.

"I haven't cultivated in the first place, I don't know if I have talent or not, it's already a great honor to be able to survive the dead, and my predecessors don't have to mind. Yi Tian smiled and looked up at the sky.

Yi Tian's surface was breezy and cloudy, but in fact, he chuckled in his heart, and it was much darker.

Although he is ignorant of cultivation, and even his life experience is a mystery, he has known some scattered fragments in the Blood Soul Jade.

The desire for the mystery of life is like a seed that begins to sprout and grows wildly, and the desire for family affection is obvious...... The old man's words were like a thunderbolt from the nine heavens bombarding the fragile heart, and he could only bury it deep in the depths of the soul and not reveal it.

From the old man's words, Yi Tian felt that the old man did his best, but he didn't want to leave a knot in his heart for this old man.

Who is the old man?

"Actually, you don't have to go to your heart, nothing is absolute...... Ay...... Actually, it's not impossible!" The old man sighed heavily, and was silent for a while, as if he was engaged in a struggle of thoughts, his brows tightened, and the scenes of sad past came to his mind, and he wanted to stop talking.

"What method?" Yi Tian wanted to explode in his heart, and his face turned red with excitement.

Instantly bounced, the severe pain in his abdomen made him sober up a little, and pulled his body back, but his hand did not let go, staring at the old man with hope, even if the lower abdomen was bleeding non-stop, he did not notice.

I have told myself countless times that it doesn't matter if you can cultivate or not, it doesn't matter if you can be strong or not, he is strong by him, as long as he is enriched, that is for himself who does not understand the world, there is no past, no sorrow, and no pursuit and longing.

People are like this, self-deception, the memory in the blood soul jade awakens his desire for the affection of his parents, this is human nature, the most primitive and primordial, no need to remember, no need to experience anything, because these are all bloodline, just awaken his things, can evoke infinite desires, the desire for emotion.

Just now he was comforting others, telling himself that it was okay to hold on, and a trivial hope sprouted in disappointment, which was enough to make people crazy, he had always deceived himself, and he had thoughts and hopes in the Blood Soul Jade, and he had already occupied a large area in Yi Tian's heart for being strong in cultivation, maybe he really didn't care before, but the mystery of the Blood Soul Jade gave him the heart of a strong man.

"Actually, you and I are also sympathetic people. The old man said quietly, his eyes were kind, and his enthusiasm was abnormal, just like looking at a good friend for many years, and he gently held Yi Tian's old rough finger bones with his backhand, which was extremely warm.

"Huh?" Yi Tian pointed at himself in shock, puzzled.

"Look!" the old man held Yi Tian's hand up, and then put it on the placket of the old man's lower abdomen, Yi Tian was shocked.

In the stormy seas, Yi Tian felt far more serious injuries than himself in front of the old man's lower abdomen, almost half of his stomach was empty, only the surrounding skin and flesh were left, and a small half of the spine was supported, I really don't know what kind of past this kind old man had, what kind of people he offended, and he actually let people dig up the entire dantian, which was even worse than himself.

He was only pierced by Wei Teng's dantian out of a fingertip-sized blood hole, but he couldn't cultivate, and it had no impact on his life.

Wait a minute......

He said there was a way?

How did he scare Wei Teng away?

Is it opportunistic? or is it ......?

"Disciple meets Master!"

Yi Tian ignored the serious injury, but he couldn't exert strength on his waist, so he had to push his body away from the rattan chair with his arms, grunt, rolled down, and knelt in front of the old man.

By the time the old man reacted from his shock, Yi Tian had already knelt down in front of him, and he forgot to say anything for a while.

"Get up, and the man has gold under his knees, but he can kneel down to his parents...... If you want to learn from me, I can teach you, but don't do it!" the old man stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes fierce and terrifying.

"No, as the saying goes, a master is like a father, why not, if you don't promise me, you won't be able to afford it!" Yi Tian knelt deadly, he couldn't give up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Hahaha!" The old man's old voice seemed to be suddenly nectar, full of spirit, majestic bursting, thunder constantly hit Yi Tian's ears, shaking and hurting, the sound was like spring thunder, full of vitality, and infinite joy.
