Chapter 36: Shelter from the limelight
"I don't know about this, I haven't practiced, and I haven't seen anyone in the sect practice. However, judging from the fact that Elder Lu picked and searched and refused to take it out, it should still have some value. Zhao Tong shook his head, and his words were a little ambiguous.
"Okay, then I'll change." Yuan Ming groaned slightly and said.
"Okay, then I'll settle the accounts for you here, it's still the old rule, you can read an hour, how much can you remember...... Forget it, you guy, you can't remember. Halfway through Zhao Tong's words, he remembered Yuan Ming's unforgettable ability.
Yuan Ming took the book, found a corner and sat cross-legged, and flipped through it carefully.
Zhao Tong just picked up the book in his hand, fell on the recliner, and looked at it by himself.
"All bodies are angry, the spiritual law goes first, the body is the instrument, and the law is the imperial ......" The moment he saw the content inside, Yuan Ming couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Just because the recording technique of "Shadowless Step" is not in the southern Xinjiang script, but in the Central Plains, no wonder Zhao Tong said it so vaguely, I'm afraid he doesn't want to practice, but he may not understand it.
In addition to the text, this book is also equipped with eighteen portraits of masked women, walking or standing, the body is either sideways or oblique, waving hands and feet quite elegant, and each portrait is equipped with countless footprints, which seem to be disorganized, but a little fine but can not help but make people scream, the footprints are dense, there are no less than thousands.
It took less than half an hour for Yuan Ming to memorize all the contents of the book, but the moment he closed the book, he was a little angry.
"Zhao Tong, why did you lie to me?" Yuan Ming frowned.
"When did I lie to you?" Zhao Tong sat up straight, also puzzled.
"The "Shadowless Step" you gave me is incomplete, and the content is not complete." Yuan Ming frowned and said.
"Crippled?" When Zhao Tong heard this, he looked slightly embarrassed and said.
Obviously, he was unaware of this.
"If it is mutilated, it is mutilated, this "Shadowless Step" was given by the elders, and I can't understand it, so you can't blame me." But soon, he spread his hands and looked like it was none of my business.
Although Yuan Ming was dissatisfied, he was helpless.
Compared with other registered disciples, Zhao Tong is already good to him, and he can't force too much, after all, he doesn't pay much.
Moreover, although this "Shadowless Step" is only the first volume, judging from the content described in the general outline, it is indeed not a rotten street exercise, at least the level is much higher than that of "Wood Thorn Technique".
In addition, after cultivating this body method, not only will you be more confident when facing the enemy, but it will also be much easier to sneak up and track in the future, especially when encountering some fierce beasts with high vigilance, it will also be easier to track and approach.
Yuan Ming was about to say goodbye and leave, but he had already raised his fists, but suddenly remembered the attack on Hagon, and then said:
"By the way, there's one more thing I have to ask here?"
Zhao Tong saw that he didn't care about the incompleteness of "Shadowless Steps", so he smiled and said, "What's the matter, tell me about it?" ”
Yuan Ming immediately told Hagon about his experience and his description of the long-haired monster.
Zhao Tong listened, put down the book in his hand, and pondered with his eyebrows.
"I really don't know what you said, when I'm free, I'll go back and ask your fellow disciples." After a moment, he shook his head and said.
Yuan Ming had no choice but to nod yes, and then left immediately.
He didn't stay long in the Toad Valley, and walked straight out of the valley, and as soon as he came out of the valley, a short and stout young man with a scar on his face came up to him.
"Brother Yuan, I have come to Toad Valley to look for you many times, and I finally met you today, do you have healing ointment?" Seeing Yuan Ming, the young man with the scar showed surprise on his face and greeted him warmly.
"Oh, it's Brother Tule, I'm sorry, I don't have any extra stock on hand lately." Yuan Ming said helplessly.
"Don't come to this set, last time you promised two jars of ointment and didn't give anything, today you don't want to come up with Toad Valley." Turler stopped in front with his hands outstretched, looking like a scoundrel.
"What are you...... Well, this is intended to be reserved for yourself, since you are in a hurry, I will bring it to you first. Yuan Ming took out two medicine jars made of bamboo tubes from the baggage behind his back and handed them over.
"Hehe, it's pretty much the same, it's a reward, don't say I want your stuff for nothing." Tule laughed, took out a small cloth bag and threw it over.
Yuan Ming opened the cloth bag and glanced at it, and silently put it away.
The two chatted a few more words before breaking up.
Yuan Ming left the valley, came to a dense forest, jumped on a big tree, and opened the cloth bag again.
Inside, however, was an animal skin, covered in small letters, of what had recently happened in the nearby forest.
That Tule was a member of the beast slave team called the "Earth Bear Society", there were only a dozen people, and it was a small group.
Unlike the Green Wolves, the Earth Bear Society has a much gentler style, and its members are all people who collect blood and food on their own, and have never had a bad record of plundering others.
Yuan Ming met Tule more than two months ago, and once saved his life, Tule was quite loyal and wanted to repay, but unfortunately his strength was not good.
Yuan Ming saw that Tule was sleek and sociable, so he asked him to help collect information about the furry beast slaves in the mountains and forests, so that he could keep abreast of various situations.
The two met every other day to make a deal to hide their true intentions.
Looking at the contents of the animal skin, Yuan Ming's face became solemn, according to the information collected by Tule, the Green Wolf Gang had found the bodies of Bayin and others, and deduced that he was the murderer based on the cause and effect.
It was also written on the animal skin that the leader of the Green Wolf Gang, Wu Bao, offered a reward for a half-magic weapon to find Yuan Ming's whereabouts.
"If that's the case, I can't go in and out of Toad Valley anymore in the near future, there are many people in the valley, and it's too easy to attract the attention of people with hearts." Yuan Ming suddenly thought of something and turned to leave.
He pushed his speed to the extreme, made a large circle in the mountain forest, and only after making sure that no one was following him did he return to his cabin.
Inside the hut, Hagon was lying down resting.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stood up strongly, clutching the green wolf's skin, ready to activate the coating.
"It's me." Yuan Ming's voice sounded outside the door.
When Hagon saw this, he sighed and sat down again.
"No one has been here during the time I've been away, has it?" Yuan Ming pushed the door in and asked.
"It's quite remote, no one comes, so I took a breath and recuperated. But you, why is your face so solemn, what happened? Hagong asked after glancing at Yuan Ming.
"The Green Wolf Gang already knows that I killed Bayin, and they are offering a reward to find me everywhere, I'm afraid I can't stay in this place, and I have to move to a more remote place to avoid the limelight." Yuan Ming said slowly.
"Bayin was really killed by you! Your courage is really not small, he is a third-level qi refiner, and his strength is not much weaker than Wubao, what means did you use? Hagon was taken aback.
"It's just a little trick, it's not worth mentioning. What's next for Brother Hagon? The Green Wolves are looking for me now, you don't care much, are you going to leave with me, or do you want to go alone? Yuan Ming diverted the topic and asked.
"Brother Yuan is too underestimated to me Hagong, the people of my Wusun Department are the most important, others give me a bucket, I will repay it tenfold, Brother Yuan did not hesitate to expose his deeds before, and rescued me, if I leave at this moment, how can I pray to the dog god with my head held high in the future." Hagon snorted, a slight look of anger on his face.
"It's a gaffe, and I ask Brother Hagong to bear with me." Yuan Ming arched his hand and said.
He has been in the 100,000 Mountains for a while, and he has some understanding of the customs and customs of southern Xinjiang.
The aborigines of southern Xinjiang are called savages by the Central Plains, and most of them live in groups in the form of tribes, each tribe has its own customs and beliefs, and the most taboo is to offend others.
"Brother Yuan is from the Central Plains, and he doesn't know anything about my Wusun Department, so there is no need to do this, don't say this again in the future." Seeing Yuan Ming's sincere apology, Hagong's expression eased a lot and said.
"I'll keep in mind that since Brother Hagong has made up his mind, let's go quickly, and it will be more dangerous to stay here for a moment." Yuan Ming said.
"Okay, it's just that I'm having trouble moving now, and I can only ask you to move." Hagon said with his hands outstretched.
Yuan Ming didn't say anything, picked up Hagon and left the wooden house, and walked in the direction of the canyon.
If there is a safe place, it is naturally on the other side of the canyon.
The location there is remote, there are no fierce beasts, and naturally there are few furry beast slaves to go, so for now, it is suitable for both resting and recuperation, and it can also avoid the pursuit of the Green Wolf Gang.
The most important thing is that there is that canyon full of mist, even if the whole group of the Green Wolf Gang finds him, he can hide in the fog at the bottom of the valley, and no matter how many people there are, it is useless.
With Yuan Ming's current strength, even with Hagon, he will still come to this side of the canyon soon.
He didn't look elsewhere, and led Hagon directly to the cave where he had lived before.
After getting along for such a long time, Yuan Ming has roughly understood Hagon's character, is honest and worthy of friendship, this residence is not an important place, and it is not a big problem to expose it to him.
"I can't imagine that Brother Yuan, you still have such a place to live." Hagon saw that the cave was so well conditioned and sighed.
"Left over when I first came here. The people of the Green Wolf Gang will not be able to find this place for a while, and the food and water in the cave are also sufficient, so you can rest here with peace of mind. Yuan Ming said.
Hagon nodded, sat down cross-legged, and recuperated.
Yuan Ming didn't stay here to cultivate, got up and walked outside, and soon came to a secluded wood.
He brought Hagon here, not only to avoid the search of the Blue Wolf Gang, but also to allow Hagon to recuperate quietly, but also for his own purpose.
Now his situation is not good, he must improve his strength as much as possible, in order to be able to retreat in the face of unexpected situations, cultivation is not an overnight thing, the shadowless footwork he just got is undoubtedly a more immediate choice at the moment.
And this footwork is unpredictable, it requires time and space to practice, and this side of the canyon is remote and quiet, which is also suitable.
Yuan Ming stopped and stood in place, closed his eyes and carefully recalled the text and portrait recorded by the shadowless footwork, then took a deep breath, sank into the dantian, took the first step, and exhaled the qi when he took the second step......
