The remnant sun is like blood, the colorful clouds chase the moon, and the sunset is spread in the sky. The woods are dyed red—the red of the leaves, or the red of the sky?

It should all be autumn red.

In the distance, the Black Elk Peak is in sight.

The mountain is not very high, but it controls one side of feng shui; The peaks are not inserted into the clouds, but also the beauty of ups and downs.

Sleepless at night, Luo Xiangzhu and the bandits have reached the foot of the mountain.

Sleepless squinted at Zhang Daqiu, saw the pale face, the crumbling body, and snickered in his heart.

Before entering the cave room, he has been hollowed out, this groom is not good!

"Where's the moose? Refill the elk wine! ”

"The big boss, the elk wine is finished." A member of the Black Elk Gang said with a bitter face, "You just gave the sick maid a ...... Your second lady healed, constantly used her internal force, and constantly ate elk nest wine to replenish her internal strength, and finally, the last jar of elk nest wine was drunk by you. ”

"Nonsense! How did you drink so fast? You must have drunk it secretly, lying here! ”

"No, no!"

……

The scolding Zhang Daqiu and the submissive Black Elk Gang were pulled out by the sunset for a long time.

Sleepless watched coldly for a while, and then withdrew his attention.

At this moment, his great cause of retrograde internal force and reverse meridian passage will almost be completed with the "help" of Zhang Daqiu.

As the Black Elk Gang said, Zhang Daqiu almost acted as the sleepless "grain transport officer" of the "second lady" (according to the name of the little minions, Luo Xiangzhu is the eldest lady).

As long as the sleepless acupoint is blocked and shows the appearance of true qi disorder, Zhang Daqiu is afraid that he will die, so he will quickly inject essence internal force into him to protect the dantian and shoulder well acupoints.

It was also this thief who was simple-minded, never thought about anything else, and thought it was the disaster of the Divine Needle from beginning to end, which caused him to be like this, and he never became suspicious, but he just scolded Lai Cong while injecting internal strength into the sleepless night.

Note once or twice is okay, inject too much, and this thief can't bear it.

The internal force of such an essence, just accumulating one, takes a lot of time, and naturally cannot be continuously supplied.

Coincidentally, Black Elk Peak produces a kind of wine, called "Elk Nest Wine", which is brewed with meat and bones near the elk's armpits, and natural treasures such as yellow essence and Ganoderma lucidum, which has the effect of greatly replenishing qi and blood and accelerating the recovery of internal strength.

Every time Zhang Daqiu went down the mountain to rob his house, he would bring elk wine, and this time was no exception.

Whenever he felt that his body was hollowed out after pouring his internal strength into the sleepless night, he would take a jar of elk wine from his minions and drink it with his head to replenish it.

Before and after, this thief injected eight times of internal strength into the sleepless night, and also drank eight jars of elk wine, and drank all the things he carried with him.

Although in a short period of time, frequent drinking of elk nest wine, the more you drink it, the less effective it becomes. But talking is better than nothing, Zhang Daqiu still relied on these eight jars of elk nest wine to supplement enough internal force to help him complete all the acupuncture points.

If there is no Zhang Daqiu, there is no eight jars of elk nest wine, and it is impossible to successfully reverse all the acupuncture points by relying on the power of sleepless alone.

The funny thing is that when he made up his mind to rush to the cave, he never imagined that the enemy who caused him to fall would become a de facto "friend" without knowing it.

From this point of view, we don't have to be anxious in advance, life is to see moves, take advantage of the situation, and use strength.

We must be good at taking advantage of the enemy's greed and the enemy's desires to solve our own difficulties.

"If Zhang Daqiu hadn't been hungry for my body, I would have died a long time ago because of the failure to rush the hole."

……

Put aside distracting thoughts, sink your thoughts sleeplessly, and begin to think about the last and most critical step of retrograde internal force and meridian reversal.

The acupuncture points have all been cleared, but how to let the true qi in the acupuncture points return to the dantian and complete a retrograde cycle?

At the last acupuncture point, the Jizhong acupoint, he felt incomparably smooth, and the internal force could flow unimpeded.

However, this unimpeded direction is not the dantian, but flows backwards, into the acupuncture points that have been reversed.

The dantian and the Jizhong acupoints are obviously close at hand, but because of the lack of retrograde internal force, they seem to be, each at the end of the world.

The current difficulty is no longer that the acupuncture points are blocked, or that you feel pain, or that you have no internal strength.

Rather, as Mr. Meng Haoran said, "There is no way to help." ”

I want to cross to the other side of the dantian, but there is no boat, how to cross?

No matter how the internal force is induced, it is a reflux, and there is not the slightest sign of entering the dantian, and the two seem to be in different dimensions.

"The first time I went through the meridians, I didn't feel that way. Now the reverse is reversed, but there is such a problem. From this point of view, this internal force retrograde is too difficult, and it is difficult to step by step. ”

He should have thought that the retrograde internal force is naturally extremely difficult, otherwise the people in the rivers and lakes who can retrograde the internal force will not be one in a hundred, but rotten streets.

As long as the meridians are clean and have less impurities, sufficient internal force, a master on the side, and natural treasures to supplement the internal force, it can withstand the pain, and it can basically be backrushed.

However, the last step, connecting the Jizhong acupoint and the dantian, and realizing the retrograde internal force for a week, is not something that can be done as long as the above conditions are met.

It takes understanding, as well as chance.

This step is a step away, and it is also the distance between hell and heaven.

This step has not been taken, even if all the acupuncture points are reversed, there is no difference between it and a martial artist who has no reverse acupuncture points.

One is all right, one is not all right, one is not all way.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have any ideas, and he became more and more anxious after sleepless nights, and now he still can't use internal force when he uses force.

When he encounters a person who is strong and strong, or can use internal force, he is like meat on a cutting board, waiting for others to slaughter.

……

In the last afterglow of the setting sun, the group passed through the mountain gate, and dozens of small minions came to greet them.

The sharp-eyed minion who had already seen Zhang Daqiu was in poor spirits, and shouted loudly: "Carry the sedan chair and send the big boss up the mountain!" ”

Sleepless sat on the horse, hugged Luo Xiangzhu, and whispered to her not to be afraid.

"Trust me, after tonight, I'll save you tomorrow."

Taking advantage of the noisy shouting of the little minions, Sleepless said a long sentence, and Luo Xiangzhu said "uh-huh" twice.

Zhang Daqiu sat on a sedan chair, and several sedan chair drivers whose shoulders were deformed were carried up the mountain with great difficulty.

The thief sat on the sedan chair, stopped the sedan chair man, looked back at the sleepless two, and from the minions, beckoned a strong old mother-like person, and said a few words in her ear.

The old lady immediately understood, looked at the sleepless two, and said, "The big boss should go to eat and drink to replenish his strength, and the old body will arrange it first." ”

The old mother watched Zhang Daqiu go away, and out of nowhere, she beckoned two stupid and bulky women to come.

The old mother and the two women were both men with fleshy faces, big shoulders and round waists, and so big that they could work together to kill a bull.

Only in this way can a woman gain a foothold in this strong-man cottage.

The old mother and the two women, and a few delicate and clever minions, led the red-haired old horse, and took Ye and Luo to leave the main road up the mountain and go to the other path.

At this time, the night gradually invaded the mountains and forests, and the Black Elk Peak was already dark.

Sleepless sat on the horse, watching these people with lanterns, leading the way in front, shining a tiny piece of light.

I don't know how long I walked, but I don't know where I went, the forest was completely dark, there was no moonlight in the sky, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The lanterns in front of them were like ghostly fires floating in the air, rootless and sourceless.

At a certain moment, the old mother suddenly turned her head and looked at the sleepless night, Sen Sen's teeth bared, revealing a somewhat terrifying color.

Sleepless all the time staring ahead, thinking hard about the last step of the reversal. Turning around so without warning, under the glow of the lantern, the old mother's hideous ugly face really startled him, and he almost fell off the horse.

He habitually raised his qi and was on guard, and his internal force went smoothly, and when he reached the shoulder well and was blocked, the pain came, and then he woke up like a dream: in the pipa bones, there were also interspersed with the Pulse Divine Needle, and there was no hope of going forward.

Hurriedly retrograde the internal force, even if it can't penetrate to the dantian, it is useless to fight in martial arts, so I have inexplicably confidence in my heart.

"Why did you stop?" Sleepless looked at the old mother and said.

The old lady laughed weirdly and said, "Second lady, we have arrived at Fengshan Rock, the small bamboo house here is the new house for you and the big boss tonight, you should get off the horse." ”

When she said this, her blood-red gums were exposed. With white teeth, under the lantern, it looks terrible.

Sleepless at night, feeling the clenching feeling in his hands, Luo Xiangzhu's body was already trembling. Obviously, the appearance of the old mother scared her a lot.

patted her on the waist, signaled her not to be afraid, and said aloud at night: "So fast? Okay, master, let's dismount together! ”

Just as she was about to pull Luo Xiangzhu off the horse, the old mother waved her thick arm and stopped Luo Xiangzhu, saying, "The old man just said that the small bamboo house here is the cave house of the second lady and the king. Our mountain dwelling is simple, the bamboo house is small, and the eldest lady can't live here, so I can't get off the horse with you. ”

Ye Wumian frowned and said, "So, where do you want to arrange the eldest lady to live?" ”

The old mother said: "Tonight, we will first place it on the high chair slope in the north." There was a clean wooden house there. Tomorrow you can decorate the new house of the eldest lady. ”

The sleepless heart of the night was tensed.

He had previously set up a plan to ask himself to open up the hole room first, which was to buy time to solve the crisis; But he didn't expect that in this way, it would also mean a temporary separation from Luo Xiangzhu.

Even if he was separated for only one night, in this dangerous Black Elk Peak, there could be infinite variables in one night, how could he feel at ease?

His face was uncertain, and he was about to refuse. His eyes quickly swept over the people of the Black Elk Gang, and saw that the old mother and the other three women were all fierce women, and they probably added up to more than 500 catties.

The three of them work together, and they can easily handle themselves who can't use internal force. Not to mention that there are several delicate and clever minions on the side.

The advantage is in the enemy, and it is useless to refuse. When he was annoyed, Luo Xiangzhu suddenly mustered up the courage to speak: "Okay, auntie, depending on you, I'll go to the high chair slope to live." How far is that? ”

The old mother said: "It's not far, less than a mile." It's just a little harder. But you don't have to worry, later, Aunt An and Aunt Tan beside you will lead you to make sure that you don't have to sweat and climb the slope. ”

Luo Xiangzhu turned around and said to the sleepless night: "Amian, that's it." ”

Luo Xiangzhu's words woke up sleeplessly.

He thought carefully, "Miss is right, we can only do this for the time being. Now that he is in prison, he can only comply first. Only by eating the grievances in front of you can you strive for freedom in the future. ”

Fortunately, I know where Luo Xiangzhu is. If it goes well tonight, you can go and check on your safety.

It's useless to think too much, and he says sleeplessly: "Okay! I also ask the two aunts to take care of my master. My master and servant, in the future, if I sit firmly in the position of the eldest lady and the second lady in this black elk gang, I will definitely repay the three aunts for their care. ”

The three women were noncommittal. One of the minions couldn't help but say: "Little girl, don't talk big about it, in this cottage, there has always been a lady of flowing water, an aunt who beats iron, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "snap" and a slap in the face of this minion.

The old mother didn't look at this minion, and helped the sleepless night to get off the horse. With a wave of her hand, An and Tan, and all the minions, led the horse with Luo Xiangzhu, played the lantern, and walked north.

The mountain wind blew, and I shivered sleeplessly at night.

The old mother raised the lantern and said with a sad smile: "Second lady, let's go into the house first, tonight's happy event is in a hurry, the king estimates that it will not take an hour to come to have sex with you, so we have to speed up the action of putting on makeup, preparing and cleaning up the room!" ”

Sleepless nights are used to the intimidating smile of the old mother. He said expressionlessly: "Well, I also have this intention, I have to put on makeup quickly, and I can't make the king wait for a long time - what do you call it, aunt?" ”

"The surname is Yang."

Aunt Yang led the sleepless night to a small bamboo house. Under the lanterns, the bamboo houses glow with a faint green glow.

Aunt Yang pushed open the door of the house, and followed closely after her sleepless night, a dusty smell of blood, a faint rancid smell, with the flow of air, rushed to her face.

Aunt Yang lifted the lantern cover and lit the oil lamp on the windowsill.

The fine black smoke was blown away by the wind, and in the dark room, there was a confusing speck of light.

The firelight flickered, and the furnishings of the room gradually came into view.

"Several ladies have died in this house, and one of them was also the second lady at that time. The second lady, she died the worst, and after being eaten by the four kings in turn, she still wanted to escape, so the old man had to kill her with a knife himself.

Oh, the ground was full of blood. I've washed it many times, and it still smells. ”

Aunt Yang's fangs were exposed, and she smiled: "I still hope that the second lady will you, don't be afraid." As long as you are obedient, the old man's knife will not mess around. ”

Sleepless walked into the house, paced around the house, and soon groped all over the small bamboo house, which was only two feet square.

A bed, a table, a windowsill.

On the table was an open makeup dress, containing lip cream, half new, half old, and in addition to the smell of blood, there was an additional unpleasant smell that was disgusting.

He also looked at Aunt Yang with a smile and said, "The slave family slept in Yizhuang when he was a child, so he was naturally not afraid of this. But I'm afraid of the cold, I'm afraid of the cold. It's already a little cold in the mountains, Aunt Yang, can you close the door? ”

He tightened his clothes and breathed into his hands, looking trembling.

"The old body will change clothes and makeup for the second lady later, and you don't need to say it, the old body will also be closed."

Just when Aunt Yang turned around and closed the door, Ye Wumian pulled out the copper hairpin with garlic in the bun with his two fingers, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he stabbed at the back of Aunt Yang's neck by the dim light of the oil lamp.
