Chapter Eighty-Three: Lucky Star
In the early morning of the second day, He Wude and the others really came to Shao Mingju as promised.
Shui Xuanjin personally sent them outside the city gate, and He Wude and the others naturally felt extremely sincere and fearful of Master Shui Xuanjin's courtesy.
This is the natural manifestation of an acquired cultivator when facing an innate master.
Even if He Wude was He Yiming's grandfather, they still didn't dare to be the slightest slack and disrespectful when facing other innate powerhouses.
After leaving the city, when Yuan Lixun rode a horse, he never gave up. He Wude finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Yiming, is Lixun going with you?"
Yuan Lixun was suddenly red-faced, but her small and delicate ears were pointed up, and at the same time, she was worried in her heart, if the old man did not allow it, thinking that she was hindering He Yiming's martial arts progress, so what.
He Yiming didn't even glance in the direction of Yuan Lixun from the corner of his eye, he just said slowly: "That's right, I've already decided." ”
His words were categorical, sounding resolute, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.
The two old men, He Wude and He Laibao, glanced at each other, and there was a faint smile in their eyes at the same time. Then He Wude nodded and said: "Okay, you are also a master of the innate realm, even if you are in Hengshan, you can be regarded as a top character, there should be no problem with one more person to serve." ”
He Yiming showed a happy smile at this time, he originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of words, but he didn't expect it to be solved so easily. He secretly sighed in his heart, the treatment of the innate strong is different.
He Laibao looked at the city from afar outside the city, and suddenly said with infinite emotion: "I haven't been here for so many years, and if I leave this time, I'm afraid I won't have much chance to see Tianluo Capital City again." ”
He Yiming was slightly surprised, Bao Ye rarely spoke in this tone, as if he had a soft spot for Tianluo Capital.
He Wude stretched out his hand and patted the old man's shoulder, turned his head, and said, "Yiming, do you know why your grandfather and I came to Tianluo Country to develop the foundation of our Hejiazhuang after leaving the master's gate?"
"The child doesn't know. He Yiming said honestly.
"It's actually quite simple. He Wude smiled: "Because when I first met your grandfather, it was in this bustling city. ”
He Yiming's eyes showed curiosity, there must be something between the two old men that he didn't know.
"The old man was originally an orphan, but when he was an infant, he was adopted by his mentor Medicine Daoist, became his gunpowder boy, and began to practice martial arts. When he was a little older, when he went down the mountain with his teacher, he met Noble in the capital of Tianluo. At that time, Noble was a young boy in the city, who also did not know his origins, and lived by begging in the city. The two of us hit it off at first sight and have been together ever since. He Wude also said with emotion: "Noble and I don't know where we are from, but since we met here, we can be considered from Tianluo Kingdom." ”
He Quanxin and He Yiming brothers glanced at each other, no wonder there was no tablet dedicated to ancestors in Zhuangzi, it turned out that the masters were all rootless people. If it weren't for He Wude personally creating this piece of Hejiazhuang's foundation, everyone would not know where to wander.
He Laibao said suddenly: "Old lady, after so many years, our roots have been deeply rooted in Taicang County, and we can no longer pull them out." ”
Indeed, in the forty years of hard work in Taicang County, with a Daguan knife, in Taicang County to fight a piece of the world, this is how hard it is not easy, today's He family, has already been integrated with Taicang County, it can be said that it is a glory, a loss.
He Wude laughed loudly, gently pulled the reins of the horse, and his mount suddenly began to run slowly, and He Yiming and the others naturally let the horse catch up.
Behind them, the Tianluo Kingdom is under the rising sun, revealing an infinite simplicity. And on the city wall, Shui Xuanjin looked at the six horsemen who were far away, and he was also excited, and it was difficult for him.
※※※※
The verdant mountains are stacked on top of each other, like the undulating sea, majestic and magnificent.
Under the leadership of the two old men, He Wude and He Laibao, He Yiming and Yuan Lixun joined forces, and finally entered the deep mountains after leaving the capital of Tianluo for more than ten days.
As for He Quanxin's father and son, they led the horses back to Hejiazhuang.
At Howude's advice, they returned to their places for the time being, rather than taking advantage of this time to enter Kyoto.
After all, the foundation of the He family is still shallow, and the population is even more scarce, and there is nothing in this base camp in Taicang County. So after He Yiming and others entered the mountain, He Quanxin of course had to go back to his hometown.
However, with He Yiming's current prestige, everyone knows that the rise of the He family is already unstoppable. And under the attention of many forces, it is estimated that the matter of the horse thieves gathering and attacking Taicang is unlikely to be staged again.
It is not the first time that He Yiming has entered the mountain, but Yuan Lixun has never entered such a harsh environment.
Fortunately, He Wude and the others had rich experience and made preparations before entering the mountain, especially the medicinal juice that repelled mosquitoes, after being applied to the bare skin on the surface of the body in advance, not to mention that those mosquitoes would never be seen again, and even some snakes in the mountains were afraid of it.
He Wude admits that this liquid is made by his teacher, Yao Daoren, and it does have unimaginable miraculous effects in expelling mosquitoes.
In fact, there is also a medicine book on He Yiming's body, which also mentions the method of refining similar medicinal juices. It's just that now he is cultivating martial arts, and he really hasn't read it carefully.
Along the way, He Yiming rushed to pack everything on his back, and He Wude and the others entered the mountain empty-handed, at most they were holding a snake-beating stick in their hands.
On the way, He Yiming's ears kept stirring, and he suddenly found that this technique may not be of great use in the battle between two masters of the same level, but in such an environment, it still has unimaginable use.
Within tens of meters of his body, no wind or grass could hide from his ears, even the smallest insects.
Walking in the deep mountains made his grasp of the power of the wind seem to have reached a higher level.
After feeling this discovery, even He Yiming couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After walking like this for more than ten days, He Wude and He Laibao suddenly stopped, with a hint of hesitation on their faces, and quarreled for the first time.
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun listened to it for a while, and couldn't help crying and laughing.
It turned out that these two old men were lost......
They had been expelled from the wall for far too long, and they had not returned to the division for forty years. And the Hengshan vein is like a spirit animal, living in the deep mountains far away from the crowd.
Although they can be said to have grown up in the Hengshan Mountains, they have not returned for 40 years, and the deep mountains and old forests in this area have changed greatly in the topography for unknown reasons. When they followed their memories to this place, they suddenly became blind.
At this moment, He Wude swore that he should go to the left, but He Laibao stubbornly thought that he should go to the right.
He Yiming was the first time in his sixteen years of life that he saw He Laibao having an argument with his grandfather. And he knew that if the old man was stubborn, the strength of not admitting defeat would not be much less than that of his grandfather.
No matter how much He Wude raised his eyebrows, he shook his head vigorously and insisted on his opinion.
After arguing for a long time, neither of these two old men, who were called master servants and who were actually a little closer than their own brothers, could not convince each other, and He Yiming and the two had no part to interject.
Yuan Lixun took off the kettle from He Yiming's backpack, poured two cups, and sent them to the two of them, and said, "Two grandfathers, since you have your own opinions, you might as well explore according to your own memories, there is always one who can find the right path." ”
The eyes of the two lit up at the same time, and the gaze that looked at Yuan Lixun suddenly became more appreciative. And He Yiming looked at her with admiration and strange eyes, as if he was a little afraid to recognize her.
In Hejiazhuang, how respectful the identities of the two old men are He Wude, when He Wude began to get angry, the juniors in the family fled as far as they wanted, even He Yiming was under the power of the old man just now, and he also had a plan to temporarily hide.
But Yuan Lixun chose to step forward to persuade at this moment, this courage is very different from the shy girl in He Yiming's mind. Only then did he know that Yuan Lixun also had such a side.
Yuan Lixun's face was slightly red, as if the person who said those words just now was not her.
He Wude drank all the water in the cup and said with a smile: "Treasure, it seems that the two of us are indeed old, and we are not as good as a little girl who can see through it." ”
He Laibao also drank the water in the cup and said, "Yes, old lady, now it is the world of young people, and the sixth young grandmother is worthy of the sixth young master." ”
Yuan Lixun's pretty face became more and more flushed, but there was a hint of joy at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
She already knew He Laibao's true status in the He family, and if anyone dared to treat him as a real servant, it would be absolutely wrong.
Being able to get his approval is not much inferior to being recognized by He Wude himself.
He Wude's eyes widened, and he said, "You keep calling me old lady, where do you really put me in your eyes." Not to mention the argument just now. Let's just say that Quanming is so naughty at the time, and every time he gets into trouble, he runs to you to seek refuge. I'm going to beat him, and you're going to fight with me, that's ......"
When he said this, he paused suddenly, turned his head to look at He Yiming, who looked embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said, "Forget it, don't talk about the previous things." Noble, I'll go here, you go there, and the three-hour journey should be clear. ”
He Laibao's face showed that harmless smile again, and said, "Follow the old lady's orders." ”
He Wude snorted, turned and left in the direction he had identified.
He Yiming gently pulled He Laibao's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Bao Ye, was my father really so skinny when he was a child?"
He Laibao hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very skinny, it's just that the old lady is often so angry that he can't sleep." ”
He Yiming was suddenly dumbfounded and completely defeated.
Seeing He Laibao also leave in the direction he had identified, He Yiming had already decided to forget everything he heard today. It's just that his heart is also full of amazement, and he can't imagine that his father, who has always been old and serious, has unknown bad deeds when he was a child.
Turning his head, he happened to see Yuan Lixun's smile that seemed to be forcibly suppressed, He Yiming pulled his face, but before he could stare, he couldn't help laughing.
For a moment, the crisp laughter of the two of them was left in the distance.
He Wude was moving forward, and when he heard this familiar laughter, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and said secretly: Second child, it's not for your father to arrange you in front of the younger generation, it's really that you are too skinny.
In the distant Taicang County, He Quanming, who was negotiating with people in the shops in the city, sneezed loudly, he rubbed his nose inexplicably, with his eight-layer peak internal strength, would he still suffer from the cold?
After a while, He Yiming put away his laughter and said, "Li Xun, the hurried journey in the past few days has delayed our time for practice. Now that it's finally empty, you should hurry up and start cultivating. ”
Yuan Lixun responded with a little excitement, and there was still a thick smile on her face. However, under He Yiming's instructions, he also restrained his mind and began to cultivate.
He Yiming sat down cross-legged, the true qi on his body was instantly released, and the ripple power circulated endlessly in his body, forming a magical and indescribable cycle with the water system power of the outside world.
When he practiced with Yuan Lixun, He Yiming used the water system technique Ripple Gong.
However, today's ripple gong has been reborn, especially after He Yiming integrated the wind and fog into it, the power of ripple gong is absolutely not under any innate exercise.
It's just that, except for the ripple exercise, the changes in the rest of the exercises are not very large, which makes him quite regretful.
Today's Yuan Lixun, although she has not yet broken through the fifth layer, is also at the peak of this layer, with He Yiming by her side, although she will also encounter extreme barriers, but the possibility of breaking through is much greater.
This is because when the Innate Master is cultivating, the true qi in the body will automatically communicate and interact with the heaven and earth qi in the outside world. In the process, they will have a peculiar force field around them.
If he is a fire master, then the power of fire around him will be incomparably stronger. At this time, if an acquired fire cultivator reached the peak of a certain order and touched the barrier, then cultivating in this force field would make it easier to break through the limit of this order.
Although this method is much inferior to the use of energy Jindan and Extreme Jindan, this is a breakthrough that relies on one's own strength, and the future growth potential is still three points greater.
Yuan Lixun's current situation is exactly like this, her water system internal strength has reached the peak of the fifth layer, but this last level is impossible to break through, and He Yiming is running the Ripple Gong beside her, just hoping to create a better cultivation environment for her.
Anyway, for He Yiming, no matter what kind of exercises he runs, he can increase the strength of his true qi, so why not do it for the benefit of others and himself.
Three hours passed quickly, and when Yuan Lixun got up, there was another layer of worry between her eyebrows.
He Yiming hurriedly persuaded: "Lixun, it's normal that you didn't break through this time, I stayed at the fifth layer for four years." ”
Yuan Lixun shook his head lightly and said, "Young Master, I'm not worried about this. ”
He Yiming's heart was relieved, when facing the peak of a certain level, the most taboo thing was to be restless, and he would never forget it. As a result, it is more difficult to overcome the barrier. But Yuan Lixun's mentality has always been very good, always tepid, as if he didn't care.
As long as she can maintain this mentality, He Yiming can be sure that if she cultivates by her side for a year and a half at most, she will definitely be able to advance smoothly.
Smiling slightly, He Yiming asked casually, "Then what are you worried about?" ”
Yuan Lixun said solemnly: "When grandpa left just now, he said that he would return in three hours, but now that it has passed, none of the two old men have returned, so they have encountered some trouble." ”
He Yiming smiled dumbly and said, "Lixun, grandpa, the three hours they said, that's a one-way trip, if it's a two-way street, at least there will be so long." As for the trouble, hehe, the two of them are masters of the tenth layer of internal strength. As long as they don't encounter spirit beasts here, then they are the only ones who are looking for trouble with others, and it is impossible to get into trouble. ”
Yuan Lixun then understood, and the big stone hanging in his heart was also put down.
During the time she followed He Yiming, she could be regarded as knowing what a spirit beast was. The possibility of encountering a spirit animal is simply minimal, almost negligible.
However, seeing the smile on He Yiming's face with a little pampering and mockery, her pretty face was slightly red, and she argued forcefully: "What if there is really a spirit beast here?"
He Yiming raised his eyebrows, he patted his chest, and said confidently: "That's impossible, if you really meet a spirit beast, then I will ......."
As he said this, he stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely strange.
Yuan Lixun didn't notice this abnormality, she smiled euphemistically and said, "What about you?"
He Yiming's ears kept shaking, and the expression on his face became more and more strange.
Yuan Lixun finally discovered the abnormality, and she asked worriedly, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
He Yiming looked at her in a daze, and after a while, Fang smiled bitterly: "Lixun, you may be right." ”
"What's right?"
"Reikaoru, I love you so much. He Yiming's eyes shone brightly, and he said excitedly: "You are really my lucky star, here, there may really be a spirit beast." ”
Yuan Lixun's face immediately turned red, only to feel that the blood all over his body was surging up like a fountain, and his whole head was buzzing, and he could no longer hear what He Yiming was saying.
