Chapter 128: The Hermit Old Drunkard
Lin Feng rested for an hour on the edge of Kunji Ridge, the morning fog gradually faded, and he could vaguely identify the mountains in front of him.
The Medicine King Valley was in the depths of the Kunji Ridge, and Lin Feng immediately drove the Silver Jiao into the air, which was more convenient to see the way than when he rode the Blood Mist Demon Beast.
The rocks of Kunji Ridge are all russet volcanic rocks, and the trees are somewhat dry and thin, and it is rare to see ancient trees because volcanic eruptions are common here.
Yao grass is everywhere, wild flowers bloom in the forest, elk are not surprised when they meet people, leisurely gnawing on the bryophytes on the grass.
After a while, he could see the terraced fields ahead, and Lin Feng let the silver Jiao land on the ground, and then collected it in the soul contract scroll.
The closer he got to the Medicine King Valley, the more Lin Feng had to keep a low profile, this time it was difficult to do, Lin Feng's fundamental purpose was to protect Lu Xueyao's safety.
This is an idyllic scenery, there is a ox-drawn cart on the road slowly coming, the driver is a thin man, the cart is loaded with a lot of straw, Lin Feng has a whim, want to let the ox cart give him a ride.
"Brother, how about giving me a ride, I'm also going in this direction. Lin Feng smiled.
The thin man smiled honestly: "Whatever, get in the car." ”
Lin Feng jumped into the car and found that there was already a bald old man lying inside, he was in rags, like a flower child, with some white hair growing on the edge of his head, he was a short and fat old man, with small eyes, rosacea, and a scruffy beard.
And the big wine gourd in his hand vaguely exudes the fragrance of wine, even if he is asleep, he refuses to let go of the wine gourd, what a drunkard.
Lin Feng didn't mind the sloppiness of the old drunkard, so he sat cross-legged on the straw next to him, looking up at the dusk sun in winter, and there was a trace of warmth flowing on his body.
The ox cart drove along the field road, and after a long time, it turned the col to a bamboo forest, where the eyes were full of emerald green, and you could smell the fermentation of bamboo leaves on the ground.
The sound of swords clashing sounded in front of him, and Lin Feng said, "Is there anyone killing in such a deep mountain?"
Hearing this voice is so chaotic, the cultivation of the people who are fighting is very low, after all, the emaciated man is an honest coachman, and he hurriedly wants to drive the ox cart to make a detour, Lin Feng said: "But it's okay to go, I can keep you safe." ”
Seeing Lin Feng so calm, the emaciated man nodded honestly, and then drove the ox cart forward, while the old drunkard lying in the straw pile on the cart was still sleeping deeply, and he didn't care about anything.
There was a group of robbers in the woods surrounding a young girl with a bamboo basket on her back, and her bamboo basket contained some medicinal herbs, and now she was holding on to her small medicine hoe and waving it wildly, and she was unwilling to fall into the hands of the robbers.
"Ouch, what a watery little girl, my brother is having a good time now. A bald robber laughed lewdly.
"Lao Tzu will play first, and then you guys will line up!" said another middle-aged tall and thin robber, quite majestic.
"Of course, big brother, you come first, this is a must. The other robbers chimed in.
Then they noticed that someone else had arrived, and the robber leader said, "Don't worry about them, it's just three countrymen, who may be too scared to walk, but when we play with this girl, they will open their eyes." ”
There are a total of twenty-six bandits, they are still somewhat cultivated, but they are not very high, equivalent to the elite soldiers in the army, and their years of killing career make them look very strong.
The robbers gathered around like a pack of hungry wolves canceling a lamb, and the little girl looked pitiful, and cried out, "Help!
She looked at Lin Feng with tearful eyes, Lin Feng smiled and nodded to her, of course he would not stand idly by.
"Just scream loudly, no one will come to your rescue if you cut your throat, and you don't expect the three countrymen in that ox cart. The bald robber sneered arrogantly, "I wish you could still scream so loudly when we play with you in a while." ”
"The world is so big, this kind of thing happens countless times every day, I really can't control it, but when I see it, I have to act decisively. Lin Feng said in his heart, and was about to pull out the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Suddenly, a calm hand pressed Lin Feng's right hand that was about to draw his sword, Lin Feng looked down and saw that it was the old drunkard who got up from the straw pile, he half-squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "Young man, you don't have to do it, so as not to offend the robber force of Kunji Ridge, I always call Hanako to be careless, let me clean them up." ”
Lin Feng had already seen that his cultivation was good, but he was worried that he was so short and fat, and he was weakened by wine, and he might not be able to beat twenty-six fierce robbers.
"The old drunkard wants to be strong, and I will let him, if he can't defeat these robbers, it will not be too late for me to come to my aid. Lin Feng said in his heart.
The old drunkard was holding a wine gourd in his left hand, unkempt, his tattered linen clothes draped over his back, and he was wearing straw sandals, and he shouted: "What a noise, you robbers know that this place is close to the boundary of the Medicine King Valley, how can you be so presumptuous?"
Then he stepped out of the bullock cart, his stocky body unsteady on his feet, and he almost fell, looking rather embarrassed.
"Ha Luha, this old man called Hanako to drink too much and go crazy with alcohol! You don't pee like you, do you dare to stand out?" the bald robber couldn't help but cancel, and then the other robbers laughed loudly.
The old drunkard also laughed, he stretched lazily, and said with a long breath: "A group of bed bugs who don't know whether to live or die, you really don't know what kind of senior you provoked." ”
"A real master doesn't brag about himself, do I'm a little too shy to see through the old drunkard." Lin Feng said in his heart.
The robbers didn't bother to listen to his crazy words, and the leader said, "Zhang Dabiao, you go and break his old bones." ”
A big man with a beard strode out with a thick-backed ghost-headed knife, muttering in his heart: "I'm very strong in this team! Why did the eldest brother call me to deal with this old madman, don't you look down on me?"
Zhang Dabiao reluctantly walked over, came to the old drunkard, stared down at him, and said, "The old name is Hanako, do you really want to find death? I really don't want to stain my ghost head knife!"
"Do you want to kill me? The old drunkard tore open his tattered linen clothes, exposed his neck, and cried out with spit flying.
"Since you say so, then I'll send you back to the West!" Zhang Dabiao shouted, surging the strength of his muscles and knotted arms, picked up the ghost head knife and cut it down, he has been a robber for so many years, and he has never had any compassion for the old man.
The dazzling knife light flashed away, and with a muffled sound of "boom~", Zhang Dabiao actually flew out of the coffin, smashed a large piece of bamboo, and then fell to the ground like a broken sandbag, and the ghost head knife fell to the ground with a "clang".
And the old drunkard asked people to stand there, leisurely picked up the wine gourd and took a big sip, and said with a smile: "It's really good wine!"
The robbers didn't see how the old drunkard made a move, they were all frightened and dazed, and immediately a little minion went to check Zhang Dabiao's injury, he came back and shook his head and said: "Brother Da Biao has lost his breath, and all seven orifices are bleeding!"
Lin Feng saw the scene just now, the old drunkard almost at the moment when the ghost head knife was about to slash on the neck, he only waved a palm lightly, this palm only had a starting hand, almost did not touch Zhang Dabiao's body, and a majestic aura shook Zhang Dabiao away.
"But from these alone, I can't see what his cultivation realm is, it seems that he is a casual cultivator. Lin Feng said in his heart.
"The old man is Hanako, you dare to be so ruthless, you must pay for killing my brother!" said the bandit leader with an angry face.
The other robbers gathered around, ignoring the little girl who was collecting medicine in the middle, who was bloodthirsty and ruthless, but very angry at the death of his brother.
"Ridiculous, are you only allowed to kill others, and not your people to be killed or injured?" the old drunkard's face suddenly became serious, and he said coldly.
Lin Feng had a good impression of a righteous and awe-inspiring hermit like an old drunkard, and he was a fellow believer, so he stepped forward and said loudly: "Isn't it just a robber who dies? If you don't get out of the way, you will all die." ”
"In the realm around the Medicine King Valley, we have been mixed up for many years, and none of the casual cultivators dare to touch us, today you are killing yourself, just scattered cultivation, brothers go up together, and kill them with knives!" the bandit leader roared like an angry lion.
In the past, there were not a few scattered cultivators who they killed, no matter how much cultivation you have, when you encounter fierce bandits, you can only compromise and seek perfection, they are bloodthirsty and cruel.
In an instant, all kinds of blades smashed down on Lin Feng, and Lin Feng planned to use the trick of "Dragon Slashing Sword: Dragon Soaring Sky", a sword light made them understand and kill him directly.
At this time, a soft and thick force pushed Lin Feng back, the old drunkard had decided to deal with these vicious robbers alone, he would not let this young man be harmed.
Lin Feng was not angry, the so-called people were not embarrassed, and the old drunkard was also kind-hearted, so he watched calmly beside him.
But seeing the old drunkard's body phantom, the short and fat body left many afterimages in this space, and the robbers' attack tricks were quite sharp, all of which were simple and practical killing moves that had been practiced in the life and death struggle for many years.
Unexpectedly, the old drunkard was usually lazy and sloppy, but when he fought, it was like a different person, his movements were elegant, his palms were exquisite, and he seemed to be leisurely and slammed all the robbers to the ground with a few palms.
The robbers wailed on the ground, wounded heavily, and struggled to get up. The old drunkard stood with his palms closed, stretched out his left hand to send out a suction force to absorb a withered bamboo pole into his hand, and picked up the wine gourd with his right hand and drank it in a big gulp.
The old drunkard walked up to the robbers while drinking, and looked at their heads with a withered bamboo pole, like a monk knocking on a wooden fish, and his hands were not small, and the robbers were knocked all over their heads.
At the end of the day, the old drunkard picked up the robber leader's chin with a bamboo pole, stared at him with small eyes, spat at him, and said with a smile: "You really don't know Taishan, but I'm an old-timer! I was still very famous when I came here more than ten years ago, but I didn't expect that no one would have the eye to recognize me now." ”
There was a faint loneliness in his tone, the years are not forgiving, and the predecessors will be gradually forgotten.
It is rumored that more than ten years ago, this area reached the realm of blood condensation eightfold real pill of loose cultivation and alcoholism, the body is elegant, and the palm is sharp, today I didn't expect to meet you in the deep mountains, and ask the seniors to raise their noble hands and spare our lives. The leader of the robbers said respectfully.
"Sure enough, he is a hermit master, the realm of the Eightfold True Pill of Blood Condensation is very rare in casual cultivation, and he also has such a powerful stunt, and his palm and body skills are very distinctive. Lin Feng said in his heart.
Every time you improve a realm, the strength you can exert is another grade, and the real strength of course includes your own tricks, and the realm that can be cultivated is the most fundamental evaluation standard for a monk, and it is rare to be able to surpass your own realm to kill the enemy, which has a lot to do with the trick.
The old drunkard nodded and sneered: "That's right, I'm just drunk, your group of robbers is quite good, and it's more than enough to rob some small sects, why do you want to attack a little girl who collects medicine?"
"Forgive me, seniors, it's all because we have been in the village for a long time, and we hardly see good-looking women, this time I came out to meet this little girl, and I couldn't hold it for a while, so I wanted to do something ridiculous. The leader of the robbers said in horror.
"You kid is quite quick to admit his mistakes, and I'm not a ruthless person, so if you leave one left hand here, I'll let you go. The old drunkard took a leisurely sip of wine.
Lin Feng felt that the old drunkard was still a little ruthless, and said, "You might as well kill them directly, is he, as the leader of the bandits, willing to cut off one of his arms for these rabble?" Lin Feng has always thought that these vicious robbers will not have any principles, they are just for profit and pleasure.
The old drunkard half-squinted his small eyes, nodded and smiled at Lin Feng, and then said coldly to the bandit leader: "My words have been spoken, and they will not be changed easily, do you dare to cut off your own arm to protect everyone?"
The robbers all stared at the leader, and the expression on his face was very worried, and then the leader of the robbers shouted: "In that case, then thank you seniors for letting my brothers live! ”
The leader of the robbers pulled out his long knife, bit the scabbard, and then used his true qi to cut off his left arm with a backhand, cold sweat trickled down his face, but he didn't let out a scream, he turned out to be a good man.
Then he motioned for his brothers to bury the severed arm on the spot, apply gold sore medicine, and hastily bandaged the wound with strips of cloth, and the blood still leached out, staining the placket of his clothes.
The old drunkard smiled and said: "You are still a little backbone, I count my words, you hurry up, don't do such unruly things in the future, you have to find some families or sects for robbery, don't always attack ordinary people." ”
The leader of the robbers, pale, resignedly agreed, and withdrew from the place with the help of his brothers.
The little girl who collected the medicine came over and thanked: "Thank you seniors for saving your life, and thank you for this son's stepping forward." ”
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, the old drunkard became lazy again, and said with a smile: "Little girl, hurry home, you have to be careful when you go out in the future." ”
The little girl kowtowed and thanked her, and then left, leaving only Lin Feng, the old drunkard and the coachman in the bamboo forest.
The coachman had long been hiding under the ox cart, but now when he saw that the robbers had retreated, he ran out and said with a simple smile: "Sure enough, he is a senior master!
"You are really honest, how can you talk?" Lin Feng was a little embarrassed, feeling that this countryman was really real, and he said what he thought of in his heart, without any scruples.
"Little brother, don't look down on the strength of those robbers just now, I can see that you may have a sixfold cultivation of blood coagulation, and you are likely to be an excellent disciple in the big sect. Normally, you should be in retreat and penance, take a lot of elixirs, and your cultivation realm is very high, but it is very difficult to deal with these more than twenty fierce bandits, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of some small sects. The old drunkard said leisurely.
Of course, Lin Feng would not say how powerful his strength was, it was honed in the continuous battle of life and death, since the old drunkard regarded him as the kind of monk who had just debuted and was useless, he just smiled.
"I admire the seniors' cultivation is very strong, how about finding a place to have a drink?" Lin Feng said politely.
"It's rare for a junior kid to invite my old drunkard to drink, it's something I can't ask for, I know that there is a restaurant in a small town in front of me that specializes in monkey wine, you might as well go there. "The old drunkard is excited at the mention of drinking.
Lin Feng was also a little curious about this secret monkey wine, so he readily agreed, and then sat on the ox cart and hurried.
"Boy, what's your name, and which Immortal Dao sect do you come from?" the old drunkard laughed.
Lin Feng said: "My name is Lin Feng, and I am a disciple of the Jiuding Sect. I don't know what the name of my predecessor is?"
"My name is long gone, even I have almost forgotten myself, you can call me an old drunkard, or call me Hanako, or even the nickname of God Palm Drunk, but don't call me a senior, I'm not the kind of big elder with a straight face. The old drunkard laughed.
It is also interesting to be able to meet such interesting hermit seniors when you are away from home, and it is much better to communicate with masters than to retreat and do penance.
"With your qualifications, you should be an inner disciple of the Jiuding Sect, and it is very likely that you will even be selected into the Guiyuan Valley. The old drunkard took a leisurely sip of his wine.
Lin Feng admired his extensive knowledge a little, nodded and said, "The senior really has good eyesight, please give me more guidance in the future." ”
"Hehe, you kid has a very good appetite for the old man, why don't you take you as an apprentice?" The old drunkard laughed, he is now old, but he doesn't have an apprentice, and it would be a pity if this peerless student rotted in the land with him in the future.
Lin Feng said in his heart: "Your cultivation in the Eightfold Solid Pill Realm of Blood Condensation is high in loose cultivation, but many elders in my Jiuding Sect are not below you, and even some of the elders are masters in the Transformation Realm, how can I worship you as a teacher in a hurry?"
Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't just say it to hit people, Lin Feng smiled and said: "I am a disciple of the Jiuding Sect, how can I casually apprentice outside, and I will benefit a lot if I can get some guidance from my predecessors." ”
"Well, we can also be friends of the New Year, if you don't use your true qi to dispel the alcohol later, and you can have a good drink with the old drunkard, I will treat you as a very good friend. The old drunkard said.
"Isn't it?, you just judge me by the amount of alcohol?" Lin Feng felt that the old drunkard was very unreliable.
"Boy, don't you know that you can tell your character from the wine?" said the old drunkard laughed.
