Chapter 11: The Death of Song Lao
Xiang Yang didn't think about it, he just thought that it was caused by his excessive energy consumption and too tired soul. After Xiang Yang cultivated the natal true fire, his mind relaxed, and he fell asleep with fatigue, and no amount of essence in the meridians could make up for the tiredness from the soul.
When Xiang Yang woke up again, a day and a night had passed. Xiang Yang couldn't wait to check the cultivation, and when he saw a small black flame in the life gate, he had a sense of reality, it was really a bone training period, and he cultivated the natal true fire, although it was a small one, but it did not hinder Xiang Yang's joy.
Now the exhilarating mood overshadowed the previous fear, the adventure was worth it, Xiang Yang couldn't hide his excitement, and continued to cultivate, after running for a few hours in a row, there was a cramping pain in his stomach, he hadn't eaten for a long time, and his chest was already hungry against his back.
"I don't know what time it is?" Xiang Yang had already 'seen' the scene outside the house, the dew drops on the grass blades in the corner of the wall, under the sunlight, the brilliance flowed, as beautiful as pearls. A small bird flies down, swallows the worm in the bushes, makes a satisfied "chirp" sound, and flies away with a wave of wings.
"It's already morning, wait, the corner outside the house?" Xiang Yang felt that he found that he was sitting in the house, but he could clearly see the scene outside the house, which was too abnormal!
"You can see the wall behind the house, the medicine basket at the door, and the path that stretches in front of the door. When Xiang Yang wanted to look into the distance again, he couldn't, there was a slight tingling in his mind, and Xiang Yang immediately withdrew from the state just now.
Xiang Yang repeatedly confirmed that this skill was not a flash in the pan and would not disappear, although he didn't know why, he was overjoyed. If you play against someone, it's a good tool for cheating!
After a while, Xiang Yang came to Song Lao's courtyard, and before he stepped into the door, a slightly excited voice came first, "I have entered the bone training period." ”
After entering the house, I saw Song Lao on crutches with one hand, preparing breakfast. Xiang Yang stepped forward to take over the work in Song Lao's hand, and blamed while busy: "I'll do this, didn't you take the blood plasma?"
Song Lao smiled, "When people are old, they are afraid of death, if they can't withstand the energy of the blood berries, they will lose more than they gain by exploding and dying." I took ginseng and purple reishi to nourish my body to the best condition, cough cough ...... cough as he spoke.
Xiang Yang stepped forward and patted Song Lao on the back to make him feel better, and his face was full of worry. Song Lao waved his hand, "The weather has been getting cold these days, I didn't pay attention to it, and I contracted the wind cold." If you don't tighten it, there is a small problem, decoction of a few medicines, and it will be fine soon. ”
Song Lao changed his words and asked: "It's you, entering the bone training period, your strength has gone further, and you must not relax." The new cultivation plan is on the table, you hurry up to eat, and take the wooden stakes in the courtyard after the meal. ”
Xiang Yang's face was puzzled, and the most important thing in the martial arts training field was the wooden stake.
Song Lao saw Xiang Yang's puzzlement and explained: "After entering the bone training period, the most important thing is to temper the body, which can not only promote cultivation, but also lay a foundation for future cultivation. Originally, the best way to quench the body is with the help of external forces, such as under the waterfall, in the cold Tan, or by the seaside waves. However, one is that the conditions are not so good, and the other is that the girl's health is not good, so he retreats to the second. Although piling is not as good as the above, the effect will not be much worse. ”
After a slight pause, Song Lao continued: "You don't have to go to the martial arts training ground to cultivate with them in the future, put the wooden stake in front of your house to facilitate cultivation." In the future, I have to put all my energy into cultivation, and I don't have to run to my old man every day, because I am not old enough to take care of myself. ”
After the meal, Song Lao was in poor spirits and rushed to Xiangyang to cultivate. Xiang Yang didn't care, just when Song Lao had not healed.
Xiangyang's cultivation is advanced, and it is the time when he is full of energy, so he immerses himself in cultivation all day long.
A few days later, Xiang Yang came to Song Lao's courtyard again, and the courtyard was terrifyingly quiet. Xiang Yang thought of a possibility, and walked into the house with a happy face. However, the situation in the house shocked her - Song Lao fell to the ground unconscious.
Xiang Yang helped Song Lao up, "Grandpa Song, Grandpa Song, wake up, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Old Song with a dark face, Xiang Yang felt guilty and secretly blamed himself, "Cultivation, cultivation, for the sake of cultivation, I didn't find out about Grandpa Song's situation." Xiang Yang couldn't wait to slap himself twice, and the moisture in his eyes quickly condensed, "If you are more careful......"
"Girl, don't cry. The comatose Song Lao didn't know when he had come to his senses, gasped for a few breaths, and continued: "People are old, there is always a time like this, cough cough ......" Song Lao tried to suppress the desire to cough, "Cough, God treats me well, and I am content with your granddaughter when I am old." ”
Song Lao seemed to feel that time was running out, so he sped up his speech and said, "You go and bring the iron box at my bedside." Xiang Yang sent him to the bed and lay down on it, only to open the box and find that there was an old book and four familiar boxes inside.
Xiang Yang suddenly thought of something, and said anxiously, "Didn't you take the blood berry fruit?"
Hurriedly picked up a box and handed it to Song Lao's mouth, Song Lao turned his head to avoid it, "I don't have a long time, you listen to me." Old Song was panting and said with great difficulty. Xiang Yang sat aside with red eyes and stopped talking, listening quietly.
"Girl, I didn't use the plasma because it didn't work for me. This poison of mine is ordered by a cultivator, and ordinary elixirs are useless at all, and will even speed up the progress of death. Xiang Yang was ashamed when he heard this, secretly hating himself for being useless, and almost harming Song Lao, fortunately Song Lao didn't take it, otherwise Xiang Yang would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Song Lao sensed Xiang Yang's thoughts and comforted: "It's not your fault, you've worked hard." As for the reason for my poisoning, it was that ancient book. I don't know what is recorded on it, the books are all in Honghuang script, and I can't read them, but at least one thing is certain, that is, this book is not a simple thing, it must have been used by ancient cultivators. ”
Boss Song took a few breaths and continued: "This book is left to you, remember not to show it to others, otherwise you will be killed." Girl, you must work hard to cultivate, old man, I know that when I cultivated the real world, I was over half a hundred years old, and I had no chance, and it was a regret in my life that I couldn't cultivate, so, girl, you have to go to see this world for my old man, to experience the magic of this cultivation world. ”
Xiang Yang listened blankly, she didn't understand, it was clear that she was fine a few days ago, but she hadn't seen her for just a few days, and things had reached this irreparable situation, and it was too late to even imagine, and things happened.
Song Lao was a little angry at this time, his face turned red, and he suppressed his voice and said: "I don't know how to cultivate, what I usually teach you is only circulated in the market, and no one really knows how to cultivate." Since you have succeeded in cultivating, it means that it is not groundless, and if you want to fully learn the knowledge of cultivation, you must join the sect of cultivators. ”
Song Lao looked at Xiang Yang fixedly, and admonished: "Girl, two years later, there will be an exchange competition between the Martial Academy and the Xia Academy, you must work hard." Because after the exchange game, it was the time when Rocky Gate came to Canghai City to collect apprentices. There are two recommended places in the martial arts academy, and you must strive for them. ”
Song Lao held Xiang Yang's hand hard, half-raised his head and stared at Xiang Yang, until he was affirmed by Xiang Yang, and then collapsed on the bed.
Song Lao's gaze turned to the wall on the inside of the bed, where a long sword hung there, "Girl, this sword is my belongings, although it is not a good thing, but it has followed me for many years, so I will leave it to you as a thought." ”
After Song Lao finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, no longer glanced at the long sword, and looked at the void without focus, "Girl, I am asking you to bow your head when you should bow your head, and endure it when you endure it." If my old man is gone, girl, don't bear it, you should fight hard. The path of cultivation is too dangerous, plan and then act, remember to remember. ”
After Song Lao said this, no sound came out.
Xiang Yang didn't believe what she saw, she had been living alone here for a year, and finally had someone to accompany her and teach her to cultivate, even if she left her loved ones, she was not so painful, at least there was an old man who thought about herself and taught herself carefully. But why? Why is it that in just half a year, before he has grown up, he has not found a drug to relieve toxicity, and let Song Lao leave with pain.
Xiang Yang slowly stretched out his hand, caressed Song Lao's eyes, and asked him to close his eyelids, "I will take you home, it is a very beautiful village, the people there are simple and kind, you will definitely like it there." ”
"It's me who is so useless. Xiang Yang fell into deep self-blame and sat quietly in front of the bed, like a soulless body.
It wasn't until three days and three nights later that Xiang Yang got up, put on clean clothes for Song Lao, and carefully cleaned his face. After everything was ready, Xiang Yang stood on the side of the bed, between his thumb and middle finger, a small black flame appeared on his fingertips, his wrist shook slightly, and the flames fell on Song Lao's body, and Song Lao's body instantly turned into ashes.
Xiang Yang has never cultivated, and he doesn't know how to use the natal true fire, and now he forcibly forces out the natal true fire, causing himself to be seriously injured again, Xiang Yang spit out a few mouthfuls of blood but doesn't care, "This is the natal true fire that I cultivated, I haven't had time to tell you before, now let you see, isn't it very powerful?" It's just a little weird, the color is black." ”
At this time, in the sky above Canghai City, there were two people stepping on the long sword and flying in the air, and suddenly, the old man among them felt that his soul trembled violently, and he almost fell off the long sword, which attracted the ridicule of the young people in the same company.
"I said Uncle Jiang, you are always an existence in the god transformation stage, don't tell me that you can't control the flying sword, hehe. "The fact that a young cultivator can fly with a sword shows that his cultivation is not low.
The old man surnamed Jiang had a solemn face, "I felt a terrifying aura just now, I didn't expect that this small Canghai City would have an existence that I couldn't compete with." ”
The young man sneered: "What are you kidding, where is this? This is the God Forsaken Continent, it would be good to have a master like you in the whole continent, and surpass you?"
The old man ignored the ridicule of the young cultivator, "It's not a joke, that aura makes me feel dangerous, I haven't had this intuition for a long time, believe me, this intuition has put me in danger several times, if you can't find anyone here, Third Young Master, let's hurry to the next location." ”
Hearing this, the young cultivator also became cautious, and took the lead in moving forward, he still cherished his little life very much, and if he threw his little life in such a place, he would be laughed to death by those guys.
Not long after the two left, an old man with a face full of vicissitudes of life hugged a little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old and flew quickly towards the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
Xiang Yang hung a long sword on his waist, held the iron box and a small black jar, returned to his residence, took out the ginseng and purple lingzhi in the iron box, and hid the iron box and the black altar. After making sure that outsiders would not find out, he turned to the outside of the house and trained frantically. Xiang Yang hit the stake frantically as if he was dying, using all the strength of his body.
Xiang Yang's movements became faster and faster, gradually scattering several figures, and the extreme speed drove the surrounding air to make a whirring sound. But even so, the familiar voice still kept echoing in my ears, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”
"You can't practice anymore, not only has what you practiced so far not yielded any results, but it has also hurt your foundation......" When they first met, Song Lao was slightly coldly concerned.
When she learned that she wanted to cultivate, she simply said, "If you really want to cultivate, I will teach you." ”
In order to give himself enough time to cultivate, even if he is hungry, he will never ask for help, and he privately found the dean, "By the way, you don't have to clean up the martial arts training ground tomorrow." ”
Guilt when I couldn't help myself because of my physical inconvenience, "My broken body can't help you, girl, be careful." ”
Afraid that his heart towards the Tao would be shaken, he persuaded him: "Girl, you have to remember that people are born unfair...... The most important thing for everyone to do is to live every day seriously and hard......"
"Girl, I'm telling you to bow your head when you should bow your head, and bear it when you endure it, if my old man is gone, girl, don't bear it......"
A "gurgling" sound came from Xiang Yang's body, which was a protest from the forced cultivation of his bones when he was overwhelmed.
Xiang Yang didn't care, and shouted frantically in his heart, "Who endured it? How can you make a decision for me, how can you give up so easily? Am I still unable to make up for your fear of the future? Is martial arts really that important? What can I do if I can't practice martial arts from now on? Is there nothing else I can do? How can I be so cruel? How can I ......?"
Xiang Yang's whole body was numb for a while, he couldn't hold his body and fell to the ground, looking up at the sky, and he couldn't open his eyes because of the sunlight, "Isn't the sun going up and down?
Xiang Yang raised his right hand to hold the sun, but there was no light, only the shadow of a hand, what could he hold in his hand?
