Chapter 0006: Dilemma
Let's say that Long Jiu took the fish back to the cave and handed it to Aunt Yun, and after a while, a fragrant boiled fish appeared on the dining table. (There's really no oil in it.) )
Eating the food on the table, although it was almost all vegetarian (only boiled fish was meat), Long Jiu ate happily. It's as if he's never had such a delicious meal.
Suddenly, Long Jiu found that the atmosphere seemed to be too quiet, too quiet. And it's a bit of a depressing feeling. Long Jiu raised his head, and he saw Aunt Yun's heavy face, as if she was thinking about something.
"What's wrong? Aunt Yun. ”
"Jiu'er, you better go back to the Zhao family, after all, you are the eldest son of the head of the Zhao family, if you know that you can cultivate, I think the Zhao family will accept you. Besides, you are the man's son after all, and the connection between the bloodlines is not so easy to break. ”
Listening to Aunt Yun's words, Long Jiu's heart slowly cooled down.
Long Jiu slowly raised his head, a pair of indifferent eyes stared straight into Aunt Yun's eyes, and after a while, he asked with a slight trembling: "Aunt Yun, even you don't support me anymore?"
Seeing Long Jiu's indifferent eyes, Aunt Yun couldn't help but feel a trace of horror. Yes, frightened. From the poison in her body to the process of being displaced in this remote town, she has experienced too many people and things. But when she was about to collapse and despair, when she ran out of oil and was about to lose her support, it was the man in front of her who took her in and gave her hope to live. At that time, despite the fact that the man was only eleven years old, although he was a waste, although he was abandoned by his relatives and family. But he still lived strongly, and he never gave up the persistence in his heart. Similarly, he did not hate the world when he encountered great changes, but he still maintained a pure land in his heart. Therefore, she was afraid, afraid that Long Jiu would leave her, afraid that Long Jiu would walk on the opposite side of her, so she was terrified.
"Jiu'er, don't worry, you listen to Aunt Yun tell you in detail, okay?" Aunt Yun said with panic and pleading.
Hearing Aunt Yun's words, Long Jiu forced himself to calm down. Although he had only been with the woman in front of him for a day, he felt a warmth and care in this woman that he had never felt before. This warmth and love is so real, it makes him so obsessed, he doesn't want to lose this warmth and love. And he also believed that Aunt Yun would not harm him.
"Aunt Yun, it's okay, you can say it!"
"Jiu'er, do you know what cultivation is?" Aunt Yun asked.
Long Jiu thought for a moment, remembered some descriptions of cultivation in his memory, and replied, "Cultivator, conquer heaven and earth and create your own body. ”
"Yes, it is gradually the creation of heaven and earth to achieve oneself. But do you know what heaven and earth creation is?"
Without waiting for Long Jiu to answer, Aunt Yun continued: "All things in heaven and earth are born because of the creation of heaven and earth, so all things are created. And the essence of cultivation is to plunder, to plunder the creation of other things in order to achieve greater creation of oneself. ”
"Aunt Yun, what is the connection between the meaning of this cultivation and asking me to go back to the Zhao family?" Long Jiu was a little confused.
"Of course there is a connection. It is true that it is gradually plundering the creation of heaven and earth, but let me ask you, before opening up the blood aperture and connecting heaven and earth, can cultivators directly obtain martial vitality from heaven and earth for cultivation? No, of course not. At this time, if you want to cultivate, you can only take a compromise method, which is to take the vitality from other things. ”
"A compromise?"
"Yes, it is taken from something else. During the period of body refining, cultivation can only rely on eating, that is, the food we eat is transformed into the power of qi and blood that we need. During this period, the amount of food a cultivator eats is very large, and the more power you have during the refining period, it means that the more energy you need to consume during this period. And with a large amount of what we need to support our cultivation, it is nothing more than the flesh and blood of beasts and brute beasts, as well as some elixirs. But these require a lot of money, and we ......"
"Alas, it's useless for Aunt Yun to let you go back to Zhao's house and get some cultivation resources. Aunt Yun said guiltily.
"Aunt Yun, it's me who is not good. I was cranky before I figured things out, and I was wrong. ”
Seeing Long Jiu's embarrassment, Aunt Yun laughed out loud: "Xiao Sample, who said I blamed you, no matter what, I am reluctant to blame my Jiu'er." ”
When Long Jiu heard Aunt Yun's words, he felt a little weird. It seems that Aunt Yun at this time is not Aunt Yun, but Long Jiu's heart is still filled with a strong warmth.
"Aunt Yun, you really care about it. If the news of my cultivation is known to the Zhao family, it will not do me any good. Think about it, since I moved out of the Zhao family, it means that I don't have a good impression of the Zhao family, will they still cultivate me?"
"The Zhao family will not only not cultivate me, but will embarrass me. There are several reasons for this:
First, the Zhao family already has a genius Zhao Wu, and for now, my bloodline is one level lower than Zhao Wu's. And I am one year older than Zhao Wu, I am only refining the body three major consummations, and Zhao Wu has already refined the nine major consummations, so even if I have one more, there are not many.
Second, the resources of the Zhao family are not enough to support the cultivation of two martial artists of the earth-level bloodline, so one must be abandoned. It's natural to know who to give up.
3. Zhao Wu grew up in the Zhao family and has a strong sense of belonging, but I don't have a good impression of the Zhao family. It's not worth spending a lot of resources to raise someone who doesn't have a sense of belonging to the family.
Fourth, Zhao Wu has been at odds with me since he was a child, and Zhao Wu's mother Lu Yaoxiang is the daughter of the second elder of the Lu family, one of the three major families. Treating me well will inevitably make Zhao Wu's mother and son resentful, and at the same time, it is not easy to explain to the Lu family, which is not in the interests of the Zhao family.
Fifth, Zhao Wu's mother and son are extremely powerful in the Zhao family, and they will definitely do their best to prevent me from returning to the Zhao family, and it is not impossible to even wipe me out.
Sixth, the Zhao family wants to dissolve my marriage with Lu Ziyan, the daughter of the head of the Lu family, on the grounds that I can't cultivate, and instead get engaged to Zhao Wu. If I can suddenly cultivate now, then the marriage between Zhao Wu and Lu Ziyan will not be engaged, isn't this a slap in the face of the Zhao and Lu families?
Therefore, the Zhao family will not be kind to me, and the biggest possibility is to abolish me. ”
"I'm sorry, Jiu'er, I didn't think about it that much, it was indeed Aunt Yun who almost hurt you. ”
"It's okay, Aunt Yun. I know you don't have time to think about it because you care about me so much. ”
"Aunt Yun, what's more, this is just the first hurdle on my cultivation path, if I can't even get over this, then what qualifications do I have to pursue the martial arts? I can't even overcome a small difficulty, I might as well do that waste quietly, what are I doing when I step into the martial arts?"
"Okay, Aunt Yun, let's eat first! Don't think about it so much. As for the Zhao family, if you don't come to provoke me, I don't bother to go back, and if you still come to provoke me, then you will have to go on a trip in the future. Long Jiu said indifferently, and at the same time, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.
After eating, Long Jiu walked out alone.
"Even when you know that you are in danger and predicament, you are still so calm and confident, and you analyze the problem almost in an absolutely rational situation. knows how to forbear and retreat, and at the same time will repay him, and he will have a place on the continent one day. Aunt Yun muttered to herself.
Not to mention what Aunt Yun was muttering to herself, Long Jiu came to the edge of the pond in the back mountain alone and began to think of a way to solve this problem.
"According to what Aunt Yun said, if you want to cultivate, you have to make money, no wonder you always put money first in those novels before. It is not unreasonable for the wealthy couple to be in the first place. No matter what world you are in, you can't move an inch without money. ”
"But when you're on Earth, no matter how much money you make, you can't bring it with you in life or die. But in this world, in a sense, money can buy lives. It seems that the effort is making money. ”
"It's unrealistic to work for people to earn money to cultivate. Not to mention that those people won't give me peace of mind, even if I can work for others with peace of mind, how many years, ten years, twenty years, or thirty years will it take me to earn enough money to cultivate to the peak of my body refinement, this is not realistic at all. ”
"That's right, meat. Isn't there a Howling Moon Mountain Range on the edge of Jiyue Town? not only does it have plenty of meat, but it also has some elixirs and spiritual herbs, and it is a place that can make my strength grow rapidly. Moreover, the minions and furs of those beasts can also be sold for money, which can improve Aunt Yun's food. At the same time, it can also increase my actual combat ability and experience against the enemy, and help me control my own strength, why not? With my forty bull strength, there should not be much danger on the edge of the Howling Moon Mountain Range. What's more, if there is no danger, then the martial arts are still martial arts?"
Since you have decided to go to the Whistling Moon Mountains, of course you have to prepare the items you need to enter the mountains.
After carefully checking Zhao Yuan's memory, it turned out that it was very tragic to find that this Zhao Yuan had nothing, and the only thing he could bring into the mountain this time was a broken sack.
"I can't imagine that there are such tragic people, but it doesn't matter, everything will be fine. Long Jiu comforted himself.
"Forget it, I'll go into the mountains tomorrow, and it looks like I'll have to prepare some weapons. "The most important thing that Long Jiu lacks is self-knowledge, he doesn't think that he can crisscross the Howling Moon Mountain Range with his Python Tempered Body Fist, so some weapons are essential. Even if the Python Tempering Body Fist could help Long Jiu survive on the periphery, he still had to be prepared, and he would be prepared! And for a person like Long Jiu who entered the Howling Moon Mountain Range for the first time, a little more preparation would be less dangerous and a little more chance of survival.
Finally, Long Jiu prepared a sack for the fur of the beast brute (note: large beasts such as lions, tigers and bears are equivalent to martial artists who refine the body three or four, the weak ones have the strength of about twenty oxen, and the strong ones have more than thirty oxen, but they are stronger than those on the earth. The brute beast corresponds to the first three realms of the martial artist's body refinement, vein, and rebirth. The first-level brute beast is equivalent to the first to second level of the refining body, and the sixth-level brute beast is equivalent to the martial artist of the twelve major consummations of the refining body, and the breakthrough of each level after the sixth level of the brute beast is very difficult, but the strength will change dramatically after each breakthrough. The seventh and eighth levels of the brute beast correspond to the martial artist's pulse period, and the ninety level corresponds to the rebirth period. After level 10, he is a demon. A bundle of purple bamboo swords, although the purple bamboo is not very hard, it has a strong cutting ability, which is comparable to ordinary swords. There is also some lime powder.
Looking at the weapons he had prepared, Long Jiu muttered to himself, "The safety of the Howling Moon Mountain Range depends on you!"
Looking at the Howling Moon Mountain Range behind him, Long Jiu shouted in his heart: "My path as a martial artist starts with you!"
