Chapter 18 Return
The forest is dense, the trees are full of shadows, the smoke is blurred, and the autumn wind is sorrowful.
Xie Mingjin, who was trying his best to rush towards the outside of the dense forest, suddenly stopped.
Behind him were the seven attendants of the Xie Mansion, all of whom were orphans adopted by the Xie Mansion since childhood, or after the old people whose ancestors had worked in the Xie Mansion for generations.
If they discovered the cultivation talent since childhood, they would be given internal strength cultivation exercises. However, the achievements of these people's final cultivation were still very limited, and those who were able to reach the seventh layer of internal strength were already very remarkable.
This is not only because of the relationship between talent and cultivation, but also because the resources of cultivation are limited, it is impossible to concentrate on them, and there is also a considerable relationship.
However, most of the attendants cultivated through this method are loyal to the Xie Mansion, and they can be called dead soldiers. Far more reassuring than diners who use money and power to recruit them.
At this moment, seeing Xie Mingjin stop, one of the attendants in his forties, who was the oldest, hugged his fists and said, "Young Master, you can't stay here for a long time, you go quickly." ”
Xie Mingjin's eyes flashed with a hint of strange brilliance, and he said in a deep voice: "Xie Mingsan, tell me honestly, why did Daddy go there?"
The middle-aged attendant Xie Mingsan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Young Master, since the master has already decided, you can ignore it and leave quickly." ”
Xie Mingjin glared at him angrily and said, "So, Daddy didn't go back because he wanted to recruit that person, but because he wanted to drag the long-armed raccoon dog?"
Xie Mingsan pursed his lips and didn't say a word.
Xie Mingjin snorted angrily, turned around and left. Xie Mingsan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Young Master, you can't go back, otherwise the second master's hard work will be in vain." ”
A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes, and Xie Mingjin said: "Xie Mingsan, you are my father's personally selected attendant, do you just watch him go to death and ignore it?"
Xie Mingsan shook his head slightly, his gaze was calmly opposite Xie Mingjin, and he didn't have any intention of dodging: "Young Master, calm down." The master is right, you can only be a burden to him if you go, if you stay away, the master will be much more sure of getting out safely. ”
Xie Mingjin said coldly: "What if my father can't come back?"
"No, it won't. Xie Mingsan shook his head resolutely and said, "I believe that the master will definitely be able to come back." ”
After a pause, he said slowly: "If the old man really can't come back, then I will personally enter the mountain and challenge these two long-armed raccoon dogs." ”
Everyone was stunned and immediately understood what he meant. With the strength of his seventh-layer internal strength, if he wants to enter the mountain to challenge the two long-armed raccoon dogs, he is simply asking for his own death.
If Xie Nuanyi really can't come back, then he will never live alone!
Xie Mingjin's eyes rolled, relaxed, and said, "Okay, I'll ...... with you" When he said this, he suddenly forced his feet to bypass Xie Mingsan and rushed in the direction before he came.
The seven attendants were all pale, and one of them asked, "What should I do?"
Xie Mingsan's figure moved, and he had already followed, and at the same time said, "Chase." ”
The seven attendants chased after each other at the same time, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Although Xie Mingjin is the eldest young master, he has a bold atmosphere that is very different from the children of the family, and he is a little taken for granted. If this kind of temperament is born in an ordinary family, it is not necessarily a good thing to be born in a family that has been inherited for thousands of years.
Xie Nuanyi brought Xie Mingjin into the dense forest, in fact, it also meant to teach him the law of the jungle. But so far, it seems that this change has not been successful.
When it came to the end, the eldest young master still disregarded the overall situation so much, knowing that going would only drag him down, but he still refused to leave.
With such a master, even the seven attendants who had already sold their lives to the Xie family had a feeling of anger and exhaustion.
Although the internal strength cultivation of the seven of them was comparable to that of the eldest young master, the exercises they had learned were far behind, especially the light body exercises that Xie Mingjin had inherited from his father, which were far beyond their reach. Fortunately, Xie Mingjin's experience is shallow, and he has to pause from time to time to identify the direction, otherwise he would have left them far away.
Xie Mingsan and the others were still anxious at first, but in the end, they calmed down.
When they first encountered the long-armed raccoon dog, they were already destined to die, and now they have only delayed this time a little.
A group of eight people finally came out from behind a big tree, and they saw the clearing and the strange scene in the clearing at first glance.
※※※※
He Yiming's entire mind was still indulged in that sword, and the thirteenth and twelfth forms of the thirty-sixth form of the mountain opening that he had just exerted with all his might would actually cause some kind of power in the void. This power from nature is miraculous and unfathomable.
He clearly knew that although the power of this knife was huge, it was still beyond his power to cut off those two arms with one knife and shock the two spirit beasts to death on the spot.
The reason why it was able to exert such a huge power was because at the time of the final blow, a certain force between heaven and earth was triggered, which caused such a magical effect.
Under one sword, killing two spirit beasts in an instant is definitely the power of the innate realm.
However, this knife is also the result of He Yiming fighting for a while, accumulating the momentum of his whole body through the rolling stone knife method, and finally using the innate knife method to explode instantly.
What that knife contains is not only the power in the thirty-six styles of opening the mountain, but also the power that has been accumulated in the Rolling Stone Knife Technique, and finally suddenly explodes, and it is precisely because of the unity of the two that it can attract the mysterious qi of heaven and earth.
If it were on another occasion and He Yiming was asked to use the thirteenth and twelfth forms of the thirty-sixth style of the opening mountain from the beginning, then it would be absolutely impossible to exert such a huge power.
However, it was precisely because the power of this move exceeded the limit of the day after tomorrow that it would trigger some magical reactions of innate qi, introducing that trace of innate power into the knife style and killing the two spirit beasts on the spot.
That unexpected knife made He Yiming feel the qi of heaven and earth for the first time, which was a rare magical realization for the acquired cultivators, and for a while, He Yiming's mind was lost, and he was completely indulged in that momentary realization.
Although there was no change in the surrounding environment, he felt a strange feeling, whether it was the wind in the forest, the plants that swayed slightly in the wind, or even the small insect world hidden in the flora that almost no one noticed.
In his spiritual world, a virtual scene is formed, as if he can already explore everything around him without his eyes at all, and the scene he explores is far more real and colorful than what he sees with his eyes.
He seemed to think of the situation when he was in Xujiabao in the past, eavesdropping on Xu Xiangqian and the others.
At that time, he also used his hearing to create a three-dimensional pattern in his consciousness, but compared with the current one, the three-dimensional pattern at that time was nothing compared to the current one, and there was no comparison at all.
Just as he was indulging in this magical feeling, he suddenly noticed a murderous aura rising up to the sky, and several people rushed to appear in his senses. And with the arrival of these people, his spirit suddenly seemed to be stimulated, and he retreated from this magical realm.
He raised his head suddenly, and looked at Xie Mingjin and the others with a hint of unkindness.
However, Xie Mingjin, who was running with a long sword in hand, didn't notice He Yiming, his eyes first fell on Xie Nuanyi, and he shouted unwillingly: "Dad, are you okay?"
Xie Nuanyi's face couldn't be whiter anymore, he vaguely felt He Yiming's situation just now, but he was interrupted out of thin air when he realized such a rare realization. If it were a short-tempered guy, he would definitely tear them all apart and vent his anger.
And with the strength that He Yiming showed just now, even if he didn't use that terrifying innate combat technique, he could definitely easily leave their father and son here forever.
It's just that what he never expected was that after He Yiming heard Xie Mingjin's shout, his expression not only did not show any signs of an imminent outbreak, but quickly calmed down after being slightly stunned.
Xie Mingjin's cry aroused the family affection in He Yiming's heart, he had left Hejiazhuang for three full months, and it would be a new year in more than two months. Although the agreement with his grandfather was to return home within three years, He Yiming had already decided that he would definitely spend the New Year in his own family.
The first time he was away from home, although it was only three months, he was already quite concerned about his relatives.
In the past, in the Zhuangzi, he practiced in retreat every day, although it was often rare to see it for several months. But when he left Zhuangzi, he realized that the concern between the two was absolutely different.
Xie Mingjin's father immediately touched the softest part of his heart, and it was naturally impossible to show people his face again.
Seeing Xie Nuanyi's pale face, Xie Mingjin couldn't help but be shocked, ran up in three steps and two steps, and shouted, "Dad......"
Xie Mingsan and the others also came here, but their performance was different from Xie Mingjin's, as soon as they appeared, they surrounded their father and son, and formed a most basic formation. However, their eyes fell on the two long-armed raccoon dogs half-sunk in the ground in the next moment, especially when they saw the four severed arms, the expressions on their faces suddenly became extremely exciting.
Someone could cut off the famous long arms of the raccoon dog?
In their feelings, although the second master's soft sword is powerful, if he wants to do this, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
The eyes of the seven attendants were simultaneously focused on the unimaginably large weapon, which was nearly four meters long.
Under the reflection of the sun, the Daguan knife became more and more powerful and incredible.
Looking at the pale look on the face of the second master, and then looking at He Yiming's mighty demeanor, the two long-armed raccoon dogs on the ground died at the hands of whom, even an idiot can tell it.
Xie Nuanyi breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly ashamed in his heart, and his face recovered a trace of blood slightly, and said, "Brother He, you ...... It's okay. ”
Xie Mingjin and the others widened their eyes at the same time, they heard it right, the second master would actually use honorifics to talk to people?
Even if he is in the Xie family, only in the face of an old uncle who has been in seclusion for many years, Xie Nuanyi will use honorifics.
However, looking at the spirit beast lying in a pool of blood, they suddenly felt that this did not seem to be difficult to understand.
He Yiming smiled innocently, his hand twisted a few times on the handle of the knife, and suddenly divided a Daguan knife into three parts. However, even if it is divided into three sections, the length of each section is more than one meter. Even the long knife that held the first section alone was a fierce weapon that was enough to attract attention.
"Mr. Xie, don't worry, I'm fine. He patted his chest and asked casually, "What we agreed on just now should be counted." ”
Xie Nuan was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Yiming's face sank slightly, and he said: "These two long-armed raccoon dogs, we will each deal with one, and we will also harvest one each." ”
A hint of surprise flashed on Xie Nuanyi's face, he nodded again and again, and said, "Since Brother He is so generous, then Xie is really grateful." ”
Although these two long-armed raccoon dogs were discovered by the Xie family first, in the jungle, it is a matter of course that the weak eat the strong. Since these two long-armed raccoon dogs were killed by He Yiming, Xie Nuanyi never thought that they would be able to snatch food. Unexpectedly, the other party still abided by the previous verbal agreement, and the surprise in his heart can be imagined.
He Yiming stretched out his hand and pulled the two long-armed raccoon dogs out of the soil, these two spirit beasts were already dead and could not die anymore.
However, after watching it for a while, He Yiming had a feeling like a mouse pulling a turtle, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.
Xie Nuanyi pondered for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Brother He, are you worried about how to deal with this spirit beast?"
"That's right. He Yiming said without concealment: "I want to take its inner pill to refine the golden pill, but I don't know what to do." ”
Xie Nuan said sincerely: "Brother He, our Xie family started with medicine alchemy, which has been inherited for thousands of years, and there is some shallow research in this area. If you can trust it, you might as well leave this long-armed raccoon dog to us. At most, it should be able to be dealt with properly, and when the time comes, all the gold pills and furs will be returned to Brother He. ”
He Yiming was slightly shocked in his heart and asked, "Mr. Xie, is there anyone in the Zun Mansion who can refine the golden pill?"
Xie Nuanyi's voice was full of confidence, and he said, "I can assure you that in the Fire Crow Country, our Xie family's success rate in refining the golden pill is definitely the highest. ”
He Yiming hesitated in his heart, but after a little silence, he immediately made a decision.
From his grandfather's mouth, he knew that the inner pill of the spirit beast could not be swallowed directly, and it had to be refined into a golden pill first, so that it could be provided to cultivators to take and exert a powerful effect on the limit barrier.
However, refining the golden pill is not such an easy thing, the last time I obtained the inner pill of the golden crown python, just to prepare the auxiliary precious medicinal materials, it took nearly half a year, and finally the refining was successful, according to the grandfather's words, that is, God opened his eyes and blessed them with the prosperity of the He family's martial arts, so it will be a fluke success.
In this way, the success rate of trying to refine Jindan is not high, and it costs a lot.
But from Xie Nuanyi's mouth, this is not the case at all. He could refine the golden pill successfully in a month, and he was very sure in his tone, which really made him feel extremely surprised and extremely excited.
"Mr. Xie, if there is really someone in the Zun Mansion who can successfully refine the Golden Pill, then He is willing to divide the Golden Pill in half with him, and I don't want all the rest of the things on the long-armed raccoon dog. ”
Xie Nuanyi smiled and said, "Brother He is polite, you have already given us one of the two long-armed raccoon dogs, if you can't even do this little thing for you, then what kind of face does the Xie family have to be called the four great families of the Fire Crow Country." ”
He stretched out his hand, and several attendants had already stepped forward, but these attendants did not disembowel the two spirit beasts on the spot, but collected their corpses, especially the four severed arms, which were carefully put together by them.
At this moment, Xie Nuanyi seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked, "Mingjin, aren't you leaving, why are you back again?"
Xie Mingjin was suddenly dumbfounded, and he was speechless.
Xie Mingsan stepped forward and said, "Second master, the eldest young master is halfway gone, I must return to help you." If the villains can't stop it, please punish you. ”
Xie Nuanyi's gaze turned around several times on the body of several of them, and finally he sighed, his voice was both disappointed and relieved.
Xie Mingjin and Xie Ming's third attendants were silent, and they didn't dare to speak at all.
Xie Nuanyi turned around and looked up, and said, "Brother He, I want to go to the lair of these two spirit beasts to have a look, and then I will return immediately to refine the golden pill for you, what do you think?"
He Yiming naturally couldn't have any objections, Xie Nuanyi said: "Mingjin, you wait here, we will be back soon, don't leave." ”
Xie Mingjin and the others were naturally respectful, since there were no longer these two long-armed raccoon dogs here, then with Xie Nuanyi's strength, naturally no creature would be able to threaten him anymore.
Xie Nuanyi's light body kung fu is obviously higher than He Yiming, of course, this is also related to the fact that He Yiming carried a heavy weapon of 360 catties.
However, at this point, Xie Nuanyi's heart is a little balanced, if he can't overwhelm the young people around him on top of the light body exercises that he is best at, then his martial arts heart at this moment is afraid that it will be difficult to maintain it anymore.
After walking for a while, Xie Nuanyi sighed.
He Yiming asked curiously, "Mr. Xie, are you dissatisfied?"
Xie Nuanyi shook his head and said, "Let Brother He smile, I'm just worried about Xiao'er Mingjin." ”
"Brother Mingjin?" He Yiming said in surprise: "Brother Mingjin values love and righteousness, and refuses to let you run away alone, what else do you have to worry about." ”
Xie Nuanyi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother He, Mingjin is just too emotional, knowing that coming here is just a drag, but he still came desperately." At present, it is indeed affectionate, but if he is in charge of the Xie family's portal in the future, I am afraid that our Xie family's inheritance will be broken in his hands. ”
He Yiming blinked his eyes twice, although he didn't think much of Xie Nuanyi's words, but in his heart, he still recognized it.
This kind of personality is good to be a ranger, but if you want to be in charge of a big family, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
It's just that, unconsciously, He Yiming's heart has a strong affection for Xie Mingjin. However, he didn't notice the strange brilliance in Xie Nuanyi's eyes after he turned his head.
