Chapter 5: The Old Drunkard
When I woke up after chasing the wind for hundreds of miles, the sky was bright and the fragrance was fragrant. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He looked around at the dilapidated log cabin, the walls of which were covered with all sorts of beast skins and skulls, and two wooden cabinets and a low wooden table, where a pale old man was feasting.
"Uncle. Baili chased the wind and screamed softly.
"Hey, young man, you're awake!" said the old man, picking up the gourd and taking a sip of wine.
"Uncle, where is this, how long have I been in a coma?" asked Baili Chasing Fenglian.
"Two days ago, I brought you back from outside Qingshan City. This is Hutou Ridge. ”
Fifty miles east of Qingshan City, Hutouling!
Hundreds of miles chasing the wind to the front of the house and looking at the slope in front of the house, black stones of different sizes are dotted, but in front of the view is a vast maple forest.
But I don't know if it is connected to the maple forest outside Qingshan City, thinking of chasing the wind here for a hundred miles, I suddenly felt a weak pain, it seems to be just a dream, but it is an irrefutable fact.
"Young man, your belongings are there. ”
Baili Chasing Wind turned around and saw two boxes on a wooden cabinet, Baili Chasing Wind walked over and picked up the narrow box, opened it, but it was a short sword with a ring finger thick, and Baili Chasing Wind gently stroked the short sword.
When he came back to his senses, he found that the old man had walked out of the door, and he followed after him.
"Uncle, I have nothing to eat, I'm so hungry. ”
"What old man, my name is Jiugui!" The old man said: "I've finished eating, if you want it, you have to make it yourself, the ingredients are all in the cabinet." ”
Baili Chasing Wind was just about to thank him, but when he saw Jiugui stepping forward, he jumped with strength, flew to the roof, and then jumped to the back of the house. Baili Chasing Wind hurriedly went around to take a look, it turned out that the wooden house was built on the edge of the cliff, but behind the house was a bottomless abyss, which made people frightened. Looking at Jiugui, he walked like he was walking on the ground in the void.
Baili Chasing Wind was shocked in his heart, could it be that this old man is also an immortal outside the world?
But his hungry stomach did not allow him to think, and he immediately ran into the house, where the kitchen was in the inner room, separated from the outhouse by a wall, and a small door was left.
Baili Chasing Feng found fresh venison and hare meat in the cupboard, as well as ginger, salt, garlic and other condiments, and immediately moved them all out, cleaned them in the water tank, and cooked the meat on a fire.
After a while, the braised rabbit meat and the dried venison were fried and served on the table in the outhouse.
It turned out that it was Jiugui who came back, and he was still carrying a wine gourd in his hand.
"Something, so fragrant. The old man closed his eyes and sniffed his nose, as if to capture the source of the aroma.
"Drunkard, if you want, sit down and eat together. Baili Chasing the Wind said.
Jiugui laughed secretly in his heart, scratched his hair, and said, "Then how embarrassing!"
"It's okay, old drunkard. Baili Chasing the Wind moved, and then said: "If the drunkard uncle likes it, I can make it for you every day in the future." ”
"That's a good feeling!" said Jiugui with a smile.
"Uncle drunkard, can I ask you for one thing. Hundred miles chasing the wind tentatively.
"Tell me about it. ”
"I'm a lonely man now, and my only father is gone. Baili Chasing the Wind said gloomily, "I also asked the drunkard uncle to take me as an apprentice and teach me some martial arts." ”
Jiugui turned around, Baili Chasing Wind bowed very respectfully, he glanced at Baili Chasing Wind meaningfully, and said with a smile: "I know that there is no free food in the world, but for the sake of food, I will reluctantly accept you." ”
Baili Chasing the Wind was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and bowed, "Apprentice to meet the master." ”
Jiugui laughed, humming a song while nibbling on venison, seemingly very satisfied with this cheap apprentice who picked up halfway.
Hundreds of miles of chasing the wind are lost, and everything in the past lingers in the bottom of my heart. Now, there is only one person left, and he can only learn some martial arts from his master, so as to survive in this chaotic world.
The outhouse is not big, and Baili Chasing Wind has to take some dry grass and spread it on the floor, and Jiugui doesn't care about him, let him toss. Lay out the dead grass, and lay a worn-out cotton wool on the dry grass, so that there is barely a place to sleep.
After arranging, Baili chased the wind out of the house and observed the surrounding environment.
The wooden house was built next to a bottomless crevice, and it was seven or eight feet wide as far as the eye could see. Looking down, it was dark, the wind was blowing, and there was a dull sound at the bottom of the cliff, which was particularly infiltrating.
Chasing the wind for hundreds of miles downhill, he found a reservoir under a big stone at the bottom of the slope, immediately undressed, picked up a gourd scoop, and took a bath with a comfortable body. When he returned, the old man was already asleep on the wooden bed.
As the sun sets, it is interesting to see the sunset in the maple forest from here. After sunset, the wind is raging, and there are always some intermittent sounds in the maple forest in the distance.
The next day, the morning sun had just risen, and the temperature was really a little colder.
Baili Chasing Wind and Jiugui got up early and ate something at random, and Jiugui took Baili Chasing Wind down the mountain.
The mountain road is rugged and steep, Jiugui walks lightly, and although he does rough work all year round, he also feels a little weak, and he can't keep up with Jiugui's pace. Gradually, every time I turned a corner, I would see the leisurely Jiugui drinking a little wine, and when he saw the figure of chasing the wind for hundreds of miles, he got up and walked forward.
After passing through the valley and hills of Maple Grove, we finally came to a decent road.
About an hour later, when he arrived at a lively market, Jiugui led Baili to chase the wind to a winery, beat two catties of wine, turned around and walked back. Baili Chasing Wind followed behind him, and he wanted to speak several times, but finally had to follow behind Jiugui stupidly.
When I returned to the wooden house, the sun was in full bloom, and although it was late autumn, it was inevitable that I was still sweating profusely.
Jiugui said without blushing and panting, "Do you remember the road clearly?"
Baili Chasing Wind didn't know the meaning of the master's action, so he had to say: "Remember." ”
"From tomorrow onwards, you get up early every day and go to that winery to fetch me a drink. Jiugui said, throwing a wine gourd to him.
Baili chased the wind and said: "The disciple understands. ”
Although I don't know what the master has to do this, the days are never boring, and it is good to use it as exercise.
In this way, it has been half a month since Baili Chasing Wind came here.
He got up early every day, walked through the lush maple forest to the town ten miles away to buy wine for Jiugui, and it was really a matter of climbing mountains and wading through rivers back and forth, and it took two or three hours to go back and forth in just ten miles.
After a month of such boring days, Baili Chasing Wind finally couldn't help but ask Jiugui, "Master, when can you teach me some martial arts." ”
Jiugui pointed to the maple forest in front of him, which was blown by the wind like a wave, and asked, "What do you see?" ”
"Maple Forest!" Baili chased the wind and stood on tiptoe, and at a glance saw that the maple forest was still a maple forest.
Jiugui smiled and said, "You close your eyes and tell me what you feel again." ”
"Wind!"
The late autumn wind blew through his bare skin, and he couldn't help but shiver when chasing the wind for hundreds of miles.
"Now, you look ahead, what do you see. ”
Baili Chasing Wind knew what he meant, so he immediately looked at it carefully and said, "The maple forest that was blown by the wind." ”
"That's right, the wind is the air. Qi is the root of all things, and without qi there is no vitality. ”
"Master, does this qi have anything to do with martial arts?" asked Baili Chasing the Wind.
"Silly boy" Jiugui smiled, "You're telling me what martial arts are being learned by people who have left the dynasty now. ”
"Spirit Pattern!" Baili Chasing Wind said without thinking: "Spirit Pattern can be used as a carrier to transform the potential of the human body into energy and give full play to the ultimate potential of the human body." ”
"That's right, the greater the potential, the greater the power of energy. Jiugui said: "However, the vast majority of people in the world today have fallen into a misunderstanding. ”
"Misunderstanding?"
"Yes, most people think that the potential of the human body lies in the body, and the stronger the body, the stronger the potential. In fact, more importantly, the more the human body can grasp qi, the more it can control qi, the stronger its potential will be. ”
Baili chasing the wind woke up like a dream: "I see." But master, what does this have to do with you asking me to go to the town every day to get you a drink?"
Jiugui glanced at Baili Chasing the Wind and laughed: "Silly boy, in addition to the qi of the human body itself, this qi also has the qi of nature. ”
"Therefore, the master wants me to feel the breath of nature?"
"That's right!"
"But I never felt angry. Baili Chasing Feng scratched his hair depressedly, "I run tired and tired every day, where can I take care of any anger." ”
"Chasing the wind, I'll take you to a place later. Jiugui smiled mysteriously.
"Where are you going!" asked Baili Chasing Wind.
Jiugui shook his head, "However, before you go, you have to do one thing first, come with me." ”
Baili Chasing Wind followed him to the house, and the doubts in his heart had not yet been solved, but he heard Jiugui ask: "You said, what do you need to obtain the spirit pattern." ”
"Spirit Pattern Stone!" Baili Chasing Wind immediately said: "You can obtain the Spirit Pattern by dripping blood on the Spirit Pattern Stone and letting the Spirit Pattern Stone absorb the blood." ”
"Clever, I don't have the Spirit Pattern Stone here now. Jiugui smiled, and changed his words, "However, there are things more powerful than spirit pattern stones." ”
Baili Chasing Wind didn't know what to do: "Is there anything else that can obtain the spirit pattern?"
"Of course there is!" Jiugui said, "You take out your belongings from that day." ”
Baili Chasing Wind didn't know what Jiugui wanted, so he immediately took out the quaint square box from the top of the cabinet, as well as the long and narrow box, and handed him the two items. Jiugui placed the narrow box on the table, opened the small square box under his finger, and saw an uncarved piece of jade in front of him.
He held the jade high, and through the light, he could see that the lines on the jade were clear and clear.
"A one-in-a-ten thousand jade spirit pattern!"
