Chapter 296: Rainy Night
readx;
The dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and they are gradually like the bottom of a pot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.infoββ After a while, the heavy rain fell from the sky. Ning Chong quickened his pace slightly, and after walking for a while, a rather large thatched hut really appeared next to the cornfield.
This thatched hut was at least ten times larger than Ning Chong had imagined. Come to think of it, this thatched hut not only has the function of living vigil, but the owner of this crop field usually uses it to pile firewood and grass and the like, which is why this thatched hut is built so huge.
Ning Chong knocked on the firewood door first, and asked a few words, but found that there was indeed no one in the thatched hut, so he was not polite at the moment, pushed open the firewood door and walked in.
In the thatched hut, a lot of dry firewood and straw were piled up, and Ning Chong saw that his clothes were slightly wet, and he couldn't help but think about taking some to make a fire to keep warm.
Although the general heat and cold in the nature of heaven and earth basically had no effect on Wu Xiu, and even once Ning Chong activated the inner yuan force, he could dry his clothes in a few breaths, but Ning Chong still decided to make a fire.
After all, this kind of method is not comfortable, how can it be compared to a warm campfire? Just as martial arts can use cultivation instead of sleeping, if there is a choice, most martial artists will definitely choose a more comfortable way to sleep. ββSince you can enjoy it and it doesn't affect your martial arts cultivation, there is no reason for martial arts cultivation to suffer yourself.
After some effort, the bonfire was finally lit, and with the firelight, the entire thatched hut suddenly brightened, and Ning Chong immediately felt warm on his body.
Sitting next to the fire, Ning Chong didn't have any thoughts in his mind for a while, and slightly felt that the peculiar chill in the air gradually increased when it rained, and occasionally one or two bits of rain would fall on his face in the cracks of the simple walls and roof, and it was cold.
After sitting for a while, he felt that his abdomen was starting to be hungry, but Ning Chong didn't want to eat the dry food stored in the space ring anymore, he was really scared these days, and he only thought in his heart: "This green corn is the best time to grow, if you get a few packets to barbecue, it will definitely taste good...... Well, when you leave, just leave some money for the owner of this hut!"
With a decision in his heart, Ning Chong got up, pushed open the chai door, and walked away in the rain.
At this time, the rain was falling tightly, and the sky and the earth were filled with a huge "whooshing" sound, and large fields of corn swayed in the wind and rain, and the original green color of the corn leaves became more vivid in the rain. ββ
Ning Chong saw that the raindrops falling from the sky were dense and powerful, and he suddenly moved his mind and had a flash of inspiration. He was not in a hurry, and walked into the heavy rain in a few steps, but when the heavy rain was about to pour on him, he had already released the inner yuan power from the outside of the acupoints around his body.
Under the flow of the inner elemental force, Ning Chong's body suddenly seemed to be shrouded in a transparent shield, allowing the wind to be raging and the heavy rain to be raining, but it couldn't wet half of his hair at all.
Braving the heavy rain, he carefully selected a few bales of corn in the cornfield, and when he returned to the hut, Ning Chong did not have the slightest water stain on his body. He lowered his gaze, looked around, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Defending against raindrops in this way is really beneficial, and it enhances my sense and subtle control of the external inner force...... Although I am already the strength of the middle stage of the 'Qi Mang Realm', in fact, the time to enter the martial artist realm is still short, and the use and control of the internal element force is a shortcoming. It's a great way to get exercised!"
Back in the hut, Ning Chong immediately started to tear off the husk of the corn and put it in the fire to barbecue. ββ
The corn burned in the fire for a while, and a fresh fragrance wafted up. Ning Chong took out the corn with a stick, and when the corn was colder, he picked up a bag and nibbled on it.
Eating this sweet corn, Ning Chong was extremely happy in his heart. Speaking of which, during this period of time, he has basically relied on the dry food stored in the space ring to survive, and on the ship of the Nalan family, he also eats the sailing dry food eaten by the crew, so he has not eaten such delicious food for a long time.
Ning Chong ate several packets of corn in a row, and only after being satisfied did he get up and walk out of the hut again.
The rain outside the house had become a lot lighter, and it had become a rain fog, and it was blowing one after another. Ning Chong didn't care, and walked slowly into the rain again, wanting to continue to use the dense raindrops to exercise his subtle control of the internal qi release.
People practice in the rain outside the house, like a walk, walking slowly, I don't know how long it took, Ning Chong was gradually able to control the external inner Yuan Force according to a certain idea, he raised his right hand, and there was a mass of Yuan Force in the palm of his hand that was divided into several strands, and under the control, it gradually twisted together, forming a small vortex similar to the wind whirlpool. ββ
Looking at this inner element force wind vortex in the center of his right palm, Ning Chong was happy in his heart and nodded with satisfaction.
This kind of exercise is extremely effective, and Ning Chong himself has the help of that strange feeling, and his progress is naturally extremely fast. At this time, his control of the external inner element force had become more and more proficient and subtle.
However, this kind of cultivation method should encourage the inner element force in the whole body to flow after being released, so that the whole body will not be wet by dense and rapid raindrops, and Ning Chong himself has to try to control the inner element force to form a wind flow, freely form a shape according to his wishes, and make some movements, and the difficulty is naturally doubled.
Therefore, this cultivation method was extremely depleting of the inner yuan power, and after persisting for a while, Ning Chong found that the strong inner yuan power was gradually unable to support it. He didn't force it, he returned to the hut, sat cross-legged beside the fire and breathed, closed his eyes, and recovered the lost inner elemental power.
The rain was a little lighter, but the clouds were piling up thicker, and the sky was getting darker and darker, like twilight. In the rain, the outlines of the distant mountains blurred even more, and the dim black light enveloped the countryside. ββ
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard, and four knights gradually appeared in front of the road.
The four knights were all tall men, dressed in luxurious brocade robes, tall and large, with their heads held high and their faces full of pride. The brocade robes around them were as smooth as new, but in this stormy weather, they were not stained with rain and mud.
If you look closely, you will find that the four tall and strong men are wrapped in a transparent glass crystal, and once the rain drops, it will automatically slide down with the contours of the body, and it will not stain the brocade robes of the eight strong men at all. This is obviously because the external inner element power is strong and strong, and it is as solid as a means - these four strong men are all martial artists of the "Qi Gang Realm"!
After a while, the four big men stopped, and the bald man who took the lead said loudly: "There is a grass hut ahead. At this time, it is very dark, and the road is muddy and difficult to walk, should you rest for a while in the thatched hut before hurrying?"
The other three big men glanced at each other and agreed.
The decision was made, and the four big men immediately turned over and dismounted, leading the horses towards the thatched hut.
Outside the thatched hut, a group of four people tied their horses and walked slowly to the front of the thatched hut. One of them couldn't help but squint his eyes and said unhappily, "Can people live in such a place?"
The bald head who took the lead next to him said: "The conditions of such a barren and remote land are not enough, and it cannot be forced. At this time, it is dark and raining, and the road is difficult to walk, so let's settle in this grass hut, don't be picky. β
Everyone knew that the bald man was telling the truth, and they didn't say anything more. The two strong men who walked in front stepped forward first, kicked open the tattered wood door of the grass hut with one flying leg, and swaggered in.
With a loud bang, the chai door was kicked open, and Ning Chong, who was roasting the fire, looked quite unhappy. With Ning Chong's perceptual ability, he naturally discovered the arrival of these four big men, but Ning Chong didn't know these four people, and only regarded them as passers-by who came to stay overnight. But I don't want to, although these four people are passers-by, they are so high-flying, it seems that they must be used to it.
Thinking like this, Ning Chong didn't react and continued to roast the fire. He didn't want to get into any more trouble.
The last few of the four people in the group walked into the grass hut one after another, and naturally they saw Ning Chong who was roasting the fire one after another. The four of them were all stunned, and then sneered, as if Ning Chong did not exist, they sat down next to the fire one by one, and then regardless of whether Ning Chong agreed or not, they picked up the corn next to the fire and nibbled on it, and even took out good wine to drink and laugh with each other.
Ning Chong observed everything coldly, he knew that these four martial artists of the "Qi Gang Realm" must have seen that the Yuan Force aura on his body was so weak that he could hardly feel it, so he didn't take him to heart at all.
In fact, just as Ning Chong thought, these four people really treated Ning Chong as air, gnawing corn, drinking good wine, saying some secret things to each other, telling some meat jokes, and being unscrupulous.
After a while, Ning Chong suddenly heard the bald head suddenly annoyed and said, "Damn it, the four of us brothers have drunk a few more sips of cat urine this time and missed a big event, and I don't know if we can catch up with Nalan Qingyu." This time, Nalan Qingyu's prodigal son is really fucking bold, if he misses it, the four of my brothers will lose a lot!"
The rest of the people immediately said:
"It's all come to this, it's not interesting to say anything, it's a matter of luck...... However, in order to deal with a woman at the peak of martial arts, Nalan Qingyu even invited a martial artist from the Qigang realm such as me, I'm afraid that he used a knife to kill chickens!"
"Killing chickens with a knife? This is a metaphor that is also accurate, our 'Langcang Four Dragons' are all clanging characters in the rivers and lakes, but we have to deal with a delicate little woman, if it weren't for the sake of money, we wouldn't have to lower our reputation to do such things. However, Nalan Qingyu's prodigal son really made a bloody investment this time, I really don't know how that woman provoked him? I heard that the woman is still his cousin!"
"I've heard a little about this, and I heard that it has something to do with the heir of the Nalan family. As we all know, the power of this family has always been passed on to men but not to women, but the old man of the Nalan family in Xuanyuan City handed over the family power to a delicate little girl. Such unruly things naturally caused Nalan Qingyu to be extremely dissatisfied, so he spent a lot of money to invite us Langcang Silong and other masters to rob and kill Nalan Weak Snow halfway. β
Hearing this, Ning Chong suddenly realized that the purpose of these four people was to intercept and kill Nalan Weak Snow halfway!
