Chapter 23: Ambushing the Panther
Qi Feiyang and Yang Bishan returned to Sanhe Village, He Yuling was watering the vegetable patch in the yard, and when they saw the two of them holding hands and coming in from the door, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they were overjoyed.
She greeted her, and while greeting Yang Bishan, she complained that her son didn't say anything in advance when he came back.
She has long known that Qi Feiyang and Yang Bishan have a good relationship, and the two are also talented and beautiful, very compatible, and she still hopes that they can come together. But when she asked Qi Feiyang many times before, she told her that it was just a classmate and friend relationship, so she let go of the matter.
Over the years, she has seen that many of her sons' children have got married and had children, Qi Feiyang is 23 years old, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend, so she is very anxious.
Although she also likes the Li family, Huan'er is still young after all, and she doesn't know what will happen in the future, so she just thinks about it.
Now seeing Yang Bishan and her son returning home arm in arm, she saw the hope of hugging her grandson in her heart, and enthusiastically pulled Yang Bishan into the house, poured her a glass of warm boiled water, and took out apples and peanuts and put them in front of her for her to eat, which made Yang Bishan embarrassed.
Soon, Qi Wenli came back from the clinic, and Qi Feiyang took out two jade pendants and gave one to each of his parents.
The old couple saw the warm and translucent jade pendant, although they didn't know how to appreciate jade, but they only knew that it was worth a lot of money, He Yuling asked: "Feiyang, how much does this cost?" ”
Qi Feiyang knew that the old man was reluctant to spend money, so he said lightly: "This is not very expensive, just a few thousand yuan, I helped people see a doctor in Songshan and bought it with the consultation money." ”
Yang Bishan picked up a piece of jade pendant and put it on He Yuling's neck, and said with a smile: "Auntie, although these jade pendants are not very valuable, they are a piece of filial piety in Feiyang." ”
He Yuling picked up another jade pendant and wanted to put it on Qi Wenli, but Qi Wenli asked her to put it away first, He Yuling glared at him and said, "This is my son's filial piety to you, why don't you wear it for a few days first!" ”
Qi Wenli was helpless, so he had to honestly let his wife put the jade on, and said to Qi Feiyang: "Don't buy such valuable things in the future, and if you have money, you have to save some flowers." ”
He Yuling observed carefully, and saw that Yang Bishan looked at Qi Feiyang affectionately from time to time, and she already knew it, and she was so happy that she smiled happily, and she had to ask Qi Feiyang to buy more good dishes in the town and prepare to treat Yang Bishan, the future daughter-in-law.
The town was very close, so there was no need to drive, and Qi Feiyang didn't want to make a big deal, so he got on his bicycle and left.
After Qi Feiyang left, He Yuling went to the yard again and grabbed a hen that had just laid eggs and killed it.
He Yuling prepared a table full of dishes, and kept serving Yang Bishan vegetables, until Yang Bishan's stomach was round.
After eating, Yang Bishan helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and He Yuling and Qi Wenli went back to the room to take a nap.
Qi Feiyang also pulled Yang Bishan back to his room, Yang Bishan thought he was going to do that kind of thing, and her little face was red with shame.
Qi Feiyang asked Yang Bishan to sit on the bed and told her that he was a cultivator, wanting her to cultivate together.
Yang Bishan didn't understand what was going on with Xiuzhen, so Qi Feiyang introduced her one by one.
When she heard that Xiuzhen could stay young forever and be immortal, Yang Bishan was naturally very excited.
She doesn't have much interest in immortality, but what woman doesn't want her to be ageless and youthful?!
Qi Feiyang injected true qi for her, built a dantian, and taught her to practice Xuanyuan Gong.
Two hours later, Yang Bishan quietly ran out of the room and went to the shower room to rinse.
When she returned to the room, she saw Qi Feiyang waiting by the door, and as soon as she came in, she closed the door and carried her to the bed......
Next, Qi Feiyang insisted on cultivating every day, but the spirit stones he brought back from the back mountain last time had been used up, and without the spirit stones to replenish energy, the true qi in his body was difficult to maintain the huge consumption of body training and refining gods for a long time, and he could only cultivate for more than an hour a day, and his cultivation was very slow.
Qi Feiyang estimates that at this rate, he may not be able to break through to the peak realm of the Qi cultivation period after practicing for a year, let alone break through to the foundation building period.
Therefore, he decided to go back to the cave in the back mountain, absorb the aura of that big stone, and at the same time continue to dig into it to see if he can dig more spirit stones, this is a good treasure for cultivation, there are a lot of vintage medicinal materials there, you can pick a little by the way.
In the past, the aura on the earth was very strong, and the realm of cultivators improved very quickly, and there were many legends of becoming immortals in history, but as the aura of the earth gradually dried up, cultivation resources became more and more scarce, and it was difficult for cultivation to enter the realm.
The current cultivation realm is rare to even see the foundation building period, let alone break through the Jindan stage and the god transformation stage, so there has been no legend of ascending to immortal for hundreds of years.
Even if Qi Feiyang had eaten two immortal fruits and laid a good foundation, if it weren't for the spirit stones he had obtained by chance, according to his normal cultivation speed, he estimated that it would take at least 3 or 4 years to break through to the foundation building period.
With his current cultivation, he should be able to easily subdue the black panther, even if he faces a few tigers, so he is not afraid at all when he goes up the back mountain this time.
He cleaned up briefly, and carried a basket containing a sack and a small hoe, as well as a few steamed buns and two cucumbers.
Qi Feiyang went up the mountain along the path, and when he saw that there was no one around, he used light skills to rush towards the waterfall, and only slowed down when he reached a place where there was no road.
It took less than an hour to reach the waterfall, and he looked around, but he didn't find the panther, and went straight into the cave.
As soon as he took a few steps into the cave, he was alert and sensed a hint of danger.
I just heard a low "Hmm... Hmm—" The sound came from within, and he unleashed his senses to see the panther on the ground, two glowing eyes facing him, and a low roar threatening him.
After waiting for a while, the panther did not get up and put on an offensive posture, he turned on the light of the mobile phone, and took a few steps forward, the panther was still wilting and not moving, but moved back and shook his head, showing a look of anger and fear.
When Qi Feiyang saw the black panther like this, it was estimated that he was injured or sick, so he stretched out his hand and shook it at the black panther, saying, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”
"Hmm—" The panther threw his head on the ground, as if he understood what he was saying.
Qi Feiyang put down the back basket, slowly walked to the black panther, reached out and touched the leopard's head, the black panther was very quiet and did not resist.
Qi Feiyang found that the black panther had a lot of scars on his body, especially a long wound on his back, and one of his hind legs was weakly collapsed, which was estimated to be a fracture, and it seemed that the panther was seriously injured in a fight with a beast of the same kind or larger.
Qi Feiyang opened his hands, signaled that there was no weapon in his hand, and said, "Obediently lie on your stomach and don't move, I'll help you heal your injuries." ”
The panther glanced at him and meekly bowed his head.
Qi Feiyang grabbed the black panther's injured hind leg with both hands, connected it with a click, and used his true qi to protect the injury.
He then went outside the cave to gather some healing herbs, washed them in a pool, and pounded them with stones.
He returned to the cave, applied the medicine mud to the black panther's wounds, and stretched out his palm to stick it to the black panther's back, inputting a lot of true qi.
By this time the panther had regained his spirits, turned his head and rubbed his leg affectionately, and then stuck out his tongue to lick his foot.
"Well, you lie down for a while, and I'll catch a hare for you to eat later." Qi Feiyang touched the leopard's head, looked at its shriveled belly and said.
The panther obediently lay down on his side and let out a few more low whistles, as if thanking him.
Qi Feiyang walked out of the hole, picked a few branches, folded them into about half a meter, sharpened one head, and then looked for a hare in the dense forest.
There are many wild animals in the primeval forest, such as hares, yellow dogs, sika deer, etc.
After walking a few hundred meters, he found a yellow monkey, he slowly approached, raised his hand and threw a branch over, which flew like an arrow and stuck it in the yellow wolf's stomach impartially.
It was not long before he caught two more hares, and thinking that he would have enough to eat the panther, he went back to the cave and laid his prey in front of the panther.
At the same time, he also dug up some vintage medicinal materials, including dozens of years of yellow essence and Poria cocos.
When the panther saw so much delicacies, his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to bite a hare, and in a few clicks he ate it all.
Qi Feiyang went to the cave and took out the big spirit stone that he hadn't absorbed last time, sat down cross-legged by the waterhole, and used his strength to absorb spiritual power.
After a while, he felt that his body was full of true qi, so he began to practice according to the mantra of the exercises, and soon completed the qi training, and then began to practice the body and the spirit.
At this time, he was already familiar with the road, and constantly used his true qi to turn into internal fire to refine his muscles and souls.
When you feel that your true qi is insufficient, you will absorb the spiritual power of the spirit stone to replenish the consumed true qi.
Two hours later, he felt a golden light in the sea of gods, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.
5 realms during the Qi training period!
At this time, Qi Feiyang only felt that his spirit and body seemed to be fused together, although his eyes were not open, he could clearly sense the surrounding environment of more than 100 meters or so, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
And the small bead in the sea of gods seemed to be clearer again, he tried to probe it with his divine sense, but as soon as his divine sense touched the streamer on the surface of the bead, he couldn't enter anymore, and he felt a stinging pain in his head, which seemed to be a little repulsed.
He hurriedly stopped probing, continued to absorb the spiritual power of the spirit stone, and operated the true qi to swim in the veins, and the qi turned at will, and soon it was running for a week.
An hour later, no spiritual power was transmitted from the spirit stone, and he also felt that the true qi in his body was abnormally full, drumming in the dantian.
At this time, he heard the slightest sound of breathing next to him, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be a black panther lying next to him and looking at him.
When the panther saw him stand up, he immediately ran around him, stretching out his head to rub against him from time to time.
Qi Feiyang touched the leopard's head, checked the black panther's injury, and almost recovered, so he injected a lot of true qi into the black panther.
The panther was so happy that he licked it like a child.
Qi Feiyang broke through a small realm, and he was also very happy in his heart, holding the neck of the black panther with both hands, and said, "Xiao Hei, just mess with me in the future." ”
Suddenly, a message came from the sea of gods.
"Master, I'll follow you in the future!"
Qi Feiyang was surprised, looked at the black panther and said, "How can you speak human words?" ”。
"I lived here with my old master, who taught me to cultivate and taught me to speak human language, but I didn't really know how to speak human language, and I could only communicate through my divine sense."
"That's great, what a smart leopard, I'll call you Xiao Hei in the future!"
One person and one leopard chatted for most of the day, and Qi Feiyang knew that the cultivation of the black panther had already been a second-order demon beast, which was equivalent to the 3rd or 4th realm of the human foundation building period, but he had suffered serious internal injuries before, and his strength could not be exerted to the original one, and his combat effectiveness was not much different from that of an ordinary leopard, so he couldn't beat Qi Feiyang last time.
In fact, the last time Qi Feiyang went to the waterfall, the black panther also used his divine sense to warn him, but at that time, Qi Feiyang's divine sense was not strong enough, so he couldn't sense the meaning of the black panther.
This time, Qi Feiyang helped it heal its injuries and infused it with a lot of true qi, not only had the old injuries been completely recovered, but its cultivation had also improved, no wonder it was so happy.
Qi Feiyang looked at the body of the black panther intently, he could see the situation inside the body, his divine sense scanned it carefully, and sure enough, he found a few dark wounds, although he had now healed, Qi Feiyang used his divine sense to sweep and found traces of old wounds.
Qi Feiyang asked, "Xiao Hei, how did you get injured recently?" With your abilities, it should be very difficult for ordinary beasts to hurt you. ”
"A few days ago a male leopard came here and wanted to seize my territory, so I fought with it, and if there were no old wounds, I could have easily killed him, because I couldn't fight with all my might, so I only seriously injured him, and I was injured myself."
Qi Feiyang nodded, knowing that if Xiao Hei was not injured, with his second-order demon beast ability, ten ordinary leopards would not be his opponent.
He asked Xiao Hei's old master about the situation again, but because the black panther had no concept of time, he only knew that it had been cultivating here with the old master for a long time since he was a child. Until one day, an enemy found this place to seek revenge, the old master was attacked and injured, and the panther protector fought hard with the enemy, and was also seriously injured and fell.
Later, the old master and the enemy fought all the way outside, and never came back, and all these years the black panther was left here waiting for the old master to return.
While speaking, Qi Feiyang suddenly smelled a bad smell on his body, it turned out that after the breakthrough of cultivation, a lot of impurities were discharged from his body, and his body was black.
Qi Feiyang saw that his body was covered with dirt, so he hurriedly took off his clothes and jumped into the pool to rinse it off.
Qi Feiyang put on his clothes, went to the cave and dug out dozens of small spirit stones, and saw that it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he was afraid that his parents would be worried, so he quickly packed up his things and prepared to go home, and said to the black panther: "You are here to recuperate, I will go home first, and I will come to see you another day." ”
The panther nodded, reluctantly watching him leave, and let out a "Hmm... Hmm...".
Qi Feiyang dug up a lot of medicinal herbs along the way, and just halfway through, suddenly there were dark clouds in the sky, and it didn't take long for the surroundings to darken, and it was about to rain heavily.
Thundershowers are common in the summer in the south, and just now, the sky is still clear, and a black cloud drifts over, and soon it will rain heavily, which is difficult to guard.
Qi Feiyang quickened his pace, and when he reached the jujube tree in the middle of the mountain, the raindrops had already crackled and fallen, and it seemed that he didn't have time to go home, he knew that there was a cave nearby, so he hurriedly ran over.
He ran without touching the ground, and just halfway through the run, the pouring rain had already fallen, and the clothes on his body were soon drenched, and finally he reached the mouth of the hole, and he got into it.
"Ah, who are you, don't come here!"
Suddenly, a woman inside screamed, startling Qi Feiyang, and he fixed his eyes to see that a woman was holding her clothes on her chest with both hands, looking at him in horror, shouting loudly while retreating inside.
