Chapter 67: The Bitter Road is Cold
Da-da-da-da!
Several horses galloped down the road, one of which was our favorite friend, the little brown horse.
The cardinal's urgent letter came, and the two elders couldn't calm down, and they also knew that Jiang Yichen was in a hurry, and even if he was forced to stay, it would be useless, so he let him go to the rescue with Wang Shide and several people from the Daoyi League and Taiji Village.
Before leaving, the second elder spoke bitterly and repeatedly instructed Jiang Yichen not to be in a hurry in the cultivation of internal strength in the future, and it was best to find a warm place, and when the scorching sun was at the head, he would practice again, and warned that if he had not been able to cultivate the frost and snow true qi to the sixth realm, and before he could control the cold qi in his body, he must not use his internal strength in vain, otherwise the meridians and internal organs of the whole body would be injured by the cold qi, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
The two old men walked to the entrance of the village and watched everyone leave.
"Alas~"
"Hehe, there are times when we sigh when we are old. ”
"Once I go this time, where can I still find an excellent environment like the Pure Yang Eye of Taiji Village for practicing such a cold internal skill. ”
"It happened suddenly, and I don't know what the situation ahead is, you and I are not at ease, not to mention that this child is deeply affectionate, even if he stays here, he has no intention of cultivating. ”
"Yes, getting along with this child in the past few days, I also feel his innocence and kindness, and I can't help but feel sorry for him when he was tired of tuberculosis since he was a child. ”
"Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. ”
"Oh, how much do you expect from this?"
"Heroes emerge from troubled times, but there is still a long way to go, and I don't know if it can overcome many difficulties and be so lucky to turn danger into relief again and again. ”
"Are you so pessimistic?"
"Do the many things that have happened in the past few months still make you feel lucky about this world?"
"Alas, it's not a fluke, it's just that I don't want to recall the nightmare situation more than ten years ago, and I don't want such a disaster to reappear in Zhongzhou...... However, this kid lacks heroism, but he is brave and chivalrous, and he is very satisfied.
"Of course, I would like to hear about it. ”
"This son has a bad fate, although there are nobles to help, but the most important thing is to rely on his own to fight, however, thinking that his character is soft and kind, not a competitive person, I am afraid of ......"
"I'm afraid that he will retreat due to a temporary compromise and finally embark on the old road of Xuan Xiao?"
"Yes, in the past, Xuanxiao of the Wudang faction was also a tragic fate, but fortunately he met Yuan Zhen, so he was led to the right path, and then he was born like a dragon, dazzling, but in the end, because of his guilt and commitment to Yuan Zhen, he was burdened by the sect, and his internal strength was abolished, banned for life, and ruined. ”
"There is a price to be paid for growth, and this son's future attainments are not something we can interfere with, so we can only wait and see, but I admire this old man more and more. ”
"Why?"
"Vision. ”
"Vision?"
"This son is mediocre, introverted and low-key, and does not like to be public, just like a drop of water into the sea, it is difficult for people to detect it at all. ”
"You mean the power of the spark is enough to set the prairie on fire?"
Presumably, the old man has this expectation, but everything still depends on the child's own creation. In today's situation, only in terms of internal strength, if he can survive the tempering of this frost and snow true qi, his subsequent cultivation will be invincible, and the damage of the dantian may not be a blessing or a curse, ordinary people will be burdened by the internal strength of the attributes, or the cultivation progress is slow, or the cultivation has reached the limit after practicing three of the five elements of the internal strength, and it is difficult to enter the realm, but this child may create miracles because of this. ”
"Oh, listening to what you say, I am looking forward to it even more. After that, who do you say this kid is? I have been observing it carefully for a long time these days, but I have never seen it, and it seems that there has never been an old man surnamed Jiang in my memory. ”
"Haha, if it weren't for your old eyes, you would have forgotten the old man a long time ago. ”
"Hey, old man, don't hang my appetite anymore, talk about it. ”
"The Buddha said, don't say, don't say. ”
"You ......"
......
In the afternoon of the next day, the people and horses who were about to come out of Taiji Village galloped all the way through the starry night, and there were only dozens of miles away from Xijiang County, only to see the sky changing instantly, the black curtain covering the sun, the air was low, accompanied by the sassy autumn wind, and the slightest cold attack could be perceived.
At this moment, the eight-man team galloping on the road suddenly changed, and one of them suddenly fell off the horse, but fortunately, the person who followed him was quick and hurriedly pulled the reins, causing the horse to leap high and avoid it, so as to avoid accidental injury.
Everyone stopped their horses, and they didn't know why.
"Young Xia?!" It was Wang Shide who spoke out, he had already turned over and dismounted, flashing towards the person who fell off the horse, and it was Jiang Yichen who fell off the horse, covering his chest with his hands at this time, frowning, cold sweat dripping, and it seemed to be extremely uncomfortable to see this.
"Shide, time is pressing, there can be no delay, if the young man is unwell, why don't you stay and take care of it, and we will take the first step?" The first leader was a Daoyi League swordsman wearing a hat, and said after returning to the horse.
"This ...... Although this place is above the official road, the area is remote, it is really a wilderness, there are not many people, it is not suitable to settle down, if you can persevere, let's go to the front to find an inn to rest, right?" Wang Shide asked after a moment of hesitation.
"It's also a way, Lao Wang, you can work hard and take the young man to find a place to settle down and rest, so as not to cause trouble. Another plain-clothed swordsman on the side said coldly, he was the leader of the three people in Taiji Village.
In this moment, drops of rain fell, and then the autumn rain rose, and the cold wind blew.
Jiang Yichen never thought that as the autumn wind became stronger, the cold in his body gradually increased, and the cold in his body actually resonated, and at the same time, the frequency of bumps caused by the galloping horse was too dramatic, causing him to be unable to suppress the cold in his body for a while, and he lost his mind and fell off the horse, and as the cold raindrops gradually hit his back, Jiang Yichen couldn't hold back anymore, coughing non-stop, like an old man.
Hearing this, several people next to him snorted softly, all of them sneering at Jiang Yichen for being so weak.
When the cough gradually eased, Jiang Yichen raised his head and opened his eyes, scanning the surrounding scene.
Although the people of Taiji Village respected him as a guest in the village, they did not take him in their eyes at this moment, and stood in front of them on horseback, treating each other coldly.
Although several people from the Moral League surrounded him, they did not speak, only Wang Shide's eyes showed a look of concern.
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover for a while, you go with them first, it's important to rescue the cardinals and the people of the Wuxiangmen, I can handle it myself." Jiang Yichen said with a smile on his face.
"It's so good, the young man has a good life to rest, let's go. Before Wang Shide could speak, the plain-clothed swordsman in Taiji Village heard Jiang Yichen's words and immediately received them.
"Yes, don't worry, Shaoxia, we will live up to our trust!" or the voices of the people in the three Taiji villages in front of him, which was very sarcastic.
"Shide, if the young man can do it himself, let's go, get on the horse. The leader of the Moral League urged.
"It's okay, Brother Wang, you can go. Jiang Yichen said softly, not wanting Wang Shide to be embarrassed.
"That young man, take care of yourself. Wang Shide didn't dare to delay any longer and turned over on the horse.
"Take care, young man. ”
"Take care, young man. ”
......
Before everyone rode their horses and left, they all said goodbye to Jiang Yichen very politely.
Before leaving, Wang Shide secretly threw his bag next to Jiang Yichen, and he was helpless, so he could only help here.
As the sound of horses' hooves faded away, so did the rain.
Jiang Yichen sighed lightly, he would not delay everyone's trip because of himself, he never thought that those people who claim to be chivalrous would be so indifferent and ruthless, maybe this is the cold state of the world, and the warmth and coldness of people.
As soon as his heart moved, the chill in his body suddenly became vigorous, Jiang Yichen hurriedly sealed his meridians, didn't dare to think about it anymore, lay on the back of the little brown horse, and let this old guy take him away from here.
Sometimes, man is no more reliable than an animal, and the little brown horse leads by taking his master to a ruined thatched hut before nightfall.
This house is not big, only the size of an ordinary house, the thatch at the roof flutters and bends in the wind and rain, you can see at a glance that this place has been abandoned for a long time, however, it is better than nothing, in this sparsely populated place, you can find a corner to shelter from the wind and rain, from the bitter wind and rain to suffer from the cold, you should feel extremely lucky.
The door was hidden, and after Jiang Yichen determined that this should be an ownerless house, and there was no one in the house, he became the owner and politely introduced his friends into the house to take shelter from the rain.
Under the cold wind and cold rain, after Jiang Yichen finished eating and replenishing his strength, out of caution, he did not dare to unlock the acupoints to regulate his internal breath in such weather, so he picked a warm corner in the house that would not leak rain, and covered it with thatch, ready to rest.
However, with the instigation of the external cold environment, the cold qi in Jiang Yichen's body did not stop because of the closure of the meridians, and when his mind was completely relaxed, he was vigorous and involved again, and once again launched an invasion on his internal organs, vowing to freeze his inside into ice and snow!
