Chapter 114
Slay the wolf
The white giant wolf in the north of Chu is a beast that all hunters do not want to face.
The fangs and claws can tear apart tigers and leopards in an instant, and their fur is so thick that ordinary swords can't pierce it.
It is as big as an ox, but when it runs, it is as fast as the wind.
Neither the most astute hounds nor the fastest horses could help the most experienced hunters to capture such creatures, and many of those who had had thought of it over the years had gone north with great ambitions, only to flee back in fright.
It was not an ordinary beast, it was a spiritual creature raised by the immortals in the sky.
The old people in the northern villages and towns often express such feelings, and warn the young people in the family to honestly guard the cattle and sheep at home.
No young man wants to be chained to a brazier, listening to the old stories and legends year after year, but every year there are always those who are not afraid of death to go north, and I have never seen a few people who can come back.
Until that person comes.
No one knows why the young man in the brocade fox fur went north to their poor village where birds don't to beg for food, and this is only where he stayed.
I'm going further north.
In the face of the bitter persuasion of the old man in the village, he always refused, and anyone could see the stubbornness of this young man who was obviously well-born.
No one in the village dared to act as his guide, until the well-laden prince offered a high price of a hundred taels of silver, and promised that the guide would return without taking him to the area where the white wolf frequented.
"That son, his strength is really first-class, and he can tear up jackals, tigers and leopards several times on the road."
The idler who worked as a guide later became the richest idler in the village, and whenever he had spare time, he boasted to the old and young masters of the village about what he had seen when he had led the way for the young man.
"What happened to that son?"
In the face of the children's inquiries in the village, the idler looked embarrassed but also told the truth:
"When I got to the north, the prince of the realm said that I don't need to lead the way anymore, and he may not be able to protect me in the future, so I didn't follow."
The surrounding villages all showed a look of pity, and the edification of childhood made them all afraid of those white wolves to the bone, even if there was no sign of white wolf activity in the past two years, no one dared to go to the north to find out.
"I don't know how that boy is.... The one who is long is really handsome. ”
"If I could have this son's net worth, and spend a fairy life in the city every day with white flour and large pieces of meat, where would I not want to go to the north..."
"Since he is the son of a wealthy lord, it may not be necessary to search for immortals in the north of the sword." The eldest old man in the village spoke quietly, "The white wolf is a spiritual creature raised by immortals.... In the north of those mountains, there are really legendary immortals. ”
"It's such an old age, and I still think about the immortals I saw when I was young." The young people in the village sneered and said, "How can there be immortals in this world?" It's just that your old man is idle and thinking nonsense on weekdays. ”
"In this world, there are really immortals...."
The muttering of the old man was drowned out by the laughter of the young man, who had not witnessed the horror of the white wolf for a long time, and the most terrible legends would be washed away by the flow of time, leaving only the memory of an old man like him still fresh.
----
"After eating authentic mountain delicacies and game for two years, I am used to my appetite, and I am still used to eating ordinary pastries."
The unkempt young man casually threw the food box made of nanmu to the side of the fire, and the cakes scattered all over the ground were all produced by Xinghe Zhai, which was the favorite of all the boudoir women in Chu State, but it was discarded like garbage at the moment.
"In this way, it seems that the habits of your son-in-law have faded a little." The man in white and big sleeves looked indifferent, but he was satisfied in his heart, "Otherwise, it will not be too late to hone your heart here for three or five years." ”
"In another three and five years, won't the two dog thieves of the Gao family and father and son have to live happily for another three and five years?!" The unkempt young man stood up and roared, "I want to cultivate the Immortal Law!" ”
If those villagers were beside them and saw the man in white standing in the void, they would have been shocked and their jaws dropped.
"It's still such an impatient mind, even if you get the method of cultivating immortals, even if you don't have the luxury of attaining immortality, those cultivators under the Gao clan won't be much more difficult to crush you than an ant."
My generation cultivates the Tao and seeks the truth.
My generation has cultivated the Tao and attained immortality.
"Those white wolves in the north, even the wolf king is no longer my opponent!" The young man argued, "If this is the spiritual creature of the so-called immortal cultivators, then the immortals are nothing remarkable!" ”
The man in white and big sleeves smiled lightly, as if he had heard something stupid:
"Rotten wood is salary, sunken wood is incense, how can it be generalized?"
There was a wolf howl in the distance, and at first the unkempt young man didn't care, until two or three countless wolf howls exploded in the twilight quadrangle, his expression gradually became solemn, especially when he heard the wolf howl from the three directions of the east, west, and north at the end of the powerful and powerful, the corners of the young man's face and mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.
"A whole pack of three wolves, hundreds of white wolves and three wolf kings." He hurriedly stepped on the fire, "You can't lead them to the south, there are no garrisons of Chu in a few undefended villages and towns, and they are no different from lambs to be slaughtered." ”
The wolves have locked down their position, and even stepping on the fire will not help.
In the past two years, he has killed more than 100 white wolves with his own hands, and those beasts as cunning as humans are extremely vengeful, so in the past year he has been constantly moving the location of the station and leaving as little trace as possible, but he has still been dug out of the hiding place.
Even with the help of his family's martial arts, he was seriously injured and near-died three times in his first year.
The man in white saved him twice and told him that he had nothing to do more than three times, and all the third time he was seriously injured, he was able to pick up a life, almost all of which depended on the strength and good luck that he had survived from his young martial arts practice.
But tonight his luck seemed to run out.
Hundreds of white wolves, three wolf kings, even if his father is reincarnated, he may not have a chance of winning.
Therefore, he must go to the north, otherwise let the wolves go south to attack the villages and towns, and it will be a tragedy in which no one is spared by the people within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Although he will die, he will never be able to avenge his father again....
I'm really unwilling.
The man in white quietly watched the young man step on the fire extinguishing pile while thinking about countermeasures, and then made up his mind to run wildly to the north, one after another wolf howls approached him rapidly, and the hungry white wolves in the cold and snowy regions of the north were rushing towards the blood food they had dreamed of.
Why did you embark on this path?
Many, many years later, when someone asked about Ao Xuchu, he always replied like this:
Because that person made me see .... The distance between heaven and earth.
The man in white sighed softly, waved his sleeves and raised his hand, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wolves were subdued.
