Chapter 5: Asceticism
The moment he woke up, his soul should have led his body to sit up straight, but he only struggled to open his eyes! His eyes were like a dry riverbed, gray and without a trace of water! Thirst had already torn his soul apart! At this time, he drank the last sip of water in the gourd!
I want to go forward, there must be an oasis in front of me, there must be water in front of me! The heart of the Northern Regions is full of hope, and at the same time he laughs at his hope viciously, he touches his ears as he walks!
"Yu Ziqing, whether I am a coward in the eyes of the Northern Hades Beast King, or a temporary hesitation without direction in the eyes of the master! I have to tell you that I will never forget the promise I made when I left: return to you alive and listen to you talk to me, or, my soul will turn into a butterfly and bring my ears back to your mouth"!
Or maybe it's the faith to live, or maybe it's the desert that doesn't want to accept the soul of this cowardly who has not found faith!
I don't know how much time passed, but the Northern Regions woke up and found himself lying in a very low plant with a small amount of water in a shallot! He woke up, alive, dry and his soul was full of water! But he was still empty, still helpless!
I couldn't help but think of what the master said before leaving: "Wujiang, I have a very clear premonition that through this vast grassland, you will find the guiding star to guide the direction of your life in the vast darkness." This is my hunch, and my hunch is always so accurate"!
"Where is that morning star?" Beiyu Wujiang looked at the sky and said to himself: "I am going all the way forward, not only to survive! I am going all the way forward, but also to understand what should have been filled in the empty emptiness in my heart!"
After January!
After passing through the desert, we will arrive at the Gobi Desert! Looking at the Gobi Desert, it is vast and desolate, and occasionally a tall tree is also bent over its waist and crawling under the scorching sun! On the Gobi, there are many trees as high as knees, lined up on both sides of the road! People passing by will naturally walk on the naturally formed tree-lined path between the two rows of trees!
A little further on, and you'll be in the steppe!
People who have experienced the desert walking on the Gobi Desert will naturally show some ease! The Boundless Northern Region has finally shaken off the state of life and death, and psychologically it has become relaxed! However, it is still not easy physically! The endless long journeys for days and months have already exhausted their bodies!
The Northern Regions Boundless is holding a gourd in his hand, dragging his tired steps, and walking forward!
"What kind of smell"? Wujiang suddenly woke up a little in his weak and trance-like mind? "It's over, it's the smell of wolves"! Wujiang in the Northern Regions suddenly felt a little desperately at a loss, staggered backwards one after another, sat down on the ground, and immediately stood up vigilantly and looked around!
There was no sign of a wolf in all directions.
"Heaven is endless, I should not be discovered"! Wujiang took a sip of water with relief, and finally his weak body was suddenly full of energy!
"In any case, I must or pass through this Gobi, and only if I cross this Gobi with my bare hands, even if I enter the grassland, I will be late for a long time! However, only those who have experienced hardships are qualified to become beast whisperers, to be the king of the grassland, and to control all beasts!" Wu Jiang said to himself, and suddenly, there was some guilt in his heart. He sighed and continued: "Since I am the king of the grassland, I should have the kingly spirit of the king of the grassland, but why, I have a deep fear of wolves in my heart. Why does even the current Northern Hades Beast King have a kind of awe for wolves?"
Boundless victory in sight looked into the distance, and the grassland was vaguely in front of him. He took a sip of water with his hand and spilled it on his chin while being vigilant and muttered to himself, "It looks like you've broken into the territory of a wolf pack, you need to leave immediately!"
The exhausted young man, who was still weak just now, suddenly became energetic, looked at himself, and then couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I was exhausted just now, but now I am full of energy, the words of the beast king are not wrong, and fear can sober up a person"! Speaking of this, Wujiang's heart couldn't help but fall into a burst of vast memories! After entering the Gobi for a day, he was hungry and tired, but he just tracked down a rabbit nest and two rabbits, and had a good meal! At that moment, at the moment when he found himself besieged by hunting dogs, the boy could never forget the numbness, tremor and collapse of his legs at that moment, the feeling that his arms were separated from his body and not governed by his will, the fear in his heart when it was like thousands of caterpillars eating away at his heart, the thought of the pair of dog eyes staring directly at his eyes, shamelessly peeking into his heart, thinking of the group of dogs snatching away a rabbit and still pressing step by stepThe rabbits are all for you, dogs, they are insatiable, and two of them attack from behind, tearing their clothes!
Thinking about it, Wujiang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of phlegm fiercely! Although the matter had passed, the shameless face of the hound always made the boy want to spit on this group of dogs.
"Fear can make people have strength"! Wujiang once again pondered this sentence, thinking of the fact that he was fighting with the hunting dogs in front of him to grab the rabbit, and that he was being attacked and bitten by the hunting dogs in the back, and Wujiang felt a burst of fear in his heart, "Fear makes people have strength"! Wujiang thought about the hesitation and cowardice in the eyes of the hunting dogs when he crawled out of the short knife and swung it indiscriminately, and when the knife was inserted into the trachea of the hunting dog.
"Fear makes people powerful"! Wujiang walked while smacking this sentence that he had never chewed before, yes, imagine the moment when he just crossed the Gobi, the fear in his heart, that is every step is so heavy, every step is not 'stepping out', but 'dragging out'!
If I hadn't retreated, I would have been shot dead with a bow and arrow, and I would have had no courage to go forward, and I would have to run home crying and burrow into the hot yurt.
Continue to move forward, Wujiang still does not forget to look behind vigilantly, but this look is definitely not a look, but a contemplative look! Wolf, that is a first-class hidden master, and a first-class strategic ambush master, if you look casually, you will feel at ease that you are safe, then you are wrong, and you will die silently when the time comes.
After staring at the Boundless Frontier of the Northern Regions, he made sure that there was no tracking behind him, and continued to walk.
The winds of the Gobi are always raging and full of provocations, and Wujiang hates such unscrupulous and arrogant winds! However, the end point is in the grassland, and Wujiang's footsteps have to trample this unscrupulous and arrogant wind under their feet.
Wujiang continued to move forward, and suddenly saw a row of horseshoe prints, "Grassland Force: Feather Hoof"! Wujiang searched for the front as much as he could, hoping to find more information about 'Feather Hoof'! Could it be that he was looking for himself! Probably not, he was stuck in a swamp at that time, and now that it has been more than a year, no one on the grassland will remember the person of Wujiang in the Northern Regions! I don't know what happened to the master and Yu Ziqing now! But at this moment, if I can walk with the 'Feather Hoof', of course, it is the best"!
The footprints of the 'Feather Hoof', a follower of the Northern Regions, suddenly patted his head with great understanding! He said to himself: "Judging from the footprints, Feather Hoof has been away for at least three days, how can I be able to catch up!"
The Northern Hades Beast King once said: "Although I am respected as the Northern Hades Beast King, I am not the only overlord on the grassland, there is another overlord on the grassland, that is, the White Wolf King, the people of the grassland, we must always fear the White Wolf King as we fear the Northern Hades Beast King, and the people of the grassland must share the honor of this king with the wolf!"
Wujiang will not forget this sentence, and always maintain this awe for the wolves!
Wujiang still put his hand on his forehead, trying to make himself look farther!"Although the 'feather hoof' has passed for a long time, following the footprints of the feather hoof, you should move faster and more safely, no!
Wujiang did not change his vigilance, but he just quickened his pace and continued to move forward along the hoof prints!
Hungry, it's getting late, and it's less than a day's journey from the grassland! Let's just do it, and search for something to make a living. But suddenly, Wujiang dispelled this thought. The words of the Northern Wolf King are as clear as in the ear: "Never be sorry for yourself, never grieves your stomach, on the grassland, galloping, are the food in your belly, use your hands, bring a trace of delicious food!
Wujiang firmly remembers this sentence, on the grassland, you must not grieve your stomach.
Wujiang crouched on the ground, scanning his surroundings. There is a deer hoof print, a rabbit's hoof print, and a few wild dog hoof prints! Thinking of wild dogs, the young man's heart can't help but show a trace of contempt, wild dogs are the most obscene and obscene beasts in the world! They always steal and snatch other people's prey! They are always frightened when they see animals taller than themselves! They bully the soft and fear the hard! There is also a python mark under the deer hoof prints! No matter what it is, the most important thing now is to ask yourself what your stomach wants to eat!
