Hua Wenxiang has a dead friend in the root fruit forest, named Niu Benba, is a buffalo beast, brawn and Hua Wenxiang are equal, often challenge Hua Wenxiang, either break the wrist, or lift a boulder, win or lose seven or three open, Hua Wenxiang seven, Niu Benba three.

Not long after dawn, Hua Wenxiang, who was still asleep, was woken up by a knock on the door, "Hua Wenxiang, you come out for me, you are the ghost of my vegetable garden again, today we must divide the winner, whoever loses will recognize the other party as the eldest brother......"

Niu Benba chattered endlessly outside the door, and kept knocking on the door, making Hua Wenxiang lie on the bed and star-blank, upset, and see it for a long time and not stop, Hua Wenxiang really had no way, put on his clothes and came to the door, dozing off: "Niu Benba, don't sleep in the morning and run to my house to shout something, big brother has no time to play with you, go back to your garden to help your father grow vegetables." ”

Although Niu Benba is short-tempered and has developed limbs, his heart and eyes are not bad, Hua Wenxiang does not hate it, he can be regarded as half a friend of his own, Niu Benba's eyes are round, and he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, if you win me today, I will not only recognize you as my eldest brother, but you will also go to my vegetable garden in the future, you can eat whatever you want, how about it, dare to decide the winner?"

Hua Wenxiang doesn't care about its so-called temptation at all, its vegetable garden is free to come and go for itself, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu are generous, every time you steal vegetables even if you are caught, it's just a nagging two sentences and it's okay, but this little buffalo is aggressive every time, and she has to apologize to Hua Wenxiang, Hua Wenxiang's face is not thinner than that chimpanzee, not only does not apologize but is justified, saying that as long as it breaks its wrist and wins itself, it will apologize, although Niu Benba looks powerful, but still loses to Hua Wenxiang who is born with amazing strength again and again, occasionally wins a few times because Hua Wenxiang thinks this little buffalo is interesting, and deliberately loses, and from then on challenging Hua Wenxiang has become Niu Benba's daily routine, defeating himBecoming the most powerful among its peers is a goal it has set for itself.

Niu Benba saw Hua Wenxiang standing in front of the door and dozing continuously, did not answer his question, and asked provocatively: "What, are you afraid?"

Hua Wenxiang really can't lift his spirit, what is the use of this kind of light than brute force competition, if he breaks his soul, his strength is estimated to be doubled or even more, this Niu Benba is really a dead brain, he knows all day long that he is competing in this kind of meaningless thing, and he doesn't know how good it is to do something serious and set foot on the martial arts as soon as possible.

At this time, Hua Wenxiang was sleepy, speaking of breaking the soul, I couldn't help but think of what Uncle Shi promised himself on the mountain yesterday, and he was in a good mood, anyway, he had nothing to do, or he would accompany this little stupid cow to play, just wait for Uncle Shi, Hua Wenxiang smiled and played with taste: "What is it, little buffalo." ”

Niu Benba waited for this sentence, so he said with confidence: "I have a stone mill for pressing noodles at home, nearly three hundred catties, and see who can carry it on his back." ”

It is more than strength, but also more than endurance.

After washing her face in the clear water of the copper basin, Hua Wenxiang promised, "No problem." ”

Niu Benba couldn't wait, and said heavily: "Follow me." ”

Hua Wenxiang's home to Niu Benba's house is only three miles away, a cup of tea kung fu arrived, its home is a huge vegetable garden, there are dozens of acres, melons, fruits and vegetables are everything, no wonder Xiaohua always loves to come here to wander.

Niu Benba walked to the front of the stone mill, although the stone mill weighed three hundred pounds, but the volume was not large, the hands were just wrapped, said to be compared, Niu Benba two feet into lunges, both hands locked the stone mill, the arms and foreheads of the green tendons have burst out, a fierce force to carry the stone mill on the shoulder, a deep breath, the bent waist straight, staggered towards the path of the vegetable garden, when he walked to almost half a mile, Niu Benba's face became more and more pale and blue, gritted his teeth and walked forward ten steps, only to see blood flowing out of his nostrils, breathing became difficult, and his physical strength was overdrawn anymore。

With a "bang", the stone mill fell to the ground, and Niu Benba sat on the ground limply, panting for breath.

Hua Wenxiang admired in her heart, this little buffalo is really competitive, and her temper is also very stubborn, if you don't put down the stone mill, you have to faint in the past, Hua Wenxiang sat on the stone mill, looked at Niu Benba, who had a slightly better face, and asked: "Can it still be done, don't press out any internal injuries." ”

Niu Benba wiped his nosebleed, "It's out of the way, it's your turn." ”

Hua Wenxiang is not pretentious, the technique is the same as Niu Benba, carrying the stone mill back the same way, in the middle of the way, suddenly felt a coolness spread from the heart to the whole body, the heaviness suddenly slowed down a little, Hua Wenxiang was puzzled, this feeling has never been, it feels like there is a steady stream of power gushing out of the body, unpredictable, don't care about these first, win the little buffalo and then say, he Hua Wenxiang is not a competitive person.

Niu Benba was physically tough, and after resting for a while, he regained his strength, he followed behind Hua Wenxiang, looking at his expression, it seemed to be much easier than when he moved the stone mill, Niu Benba's eyes gradually became gloomy.

When Hua Wenxiang came to its starting point, it still didn't stop, and Niu Benba's eyes were completely desperate, and he lost.

Hua Wenxiang actually still has the strength to walk another half a mile, but he doesn't want to hit Niu Benba, so he pretended to be exhausted, let go of his hand, and sat directly on the ground panting, and the stone mill fell to the ground and raised a piece of dust.

Hua Wenxiang stood up, patted the dust on her body, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Brother Benba still remembers the previous agreement?"

Niu Benba snorted coldly, "Of course, I, Niu Benba, have always spoken and counted, and I am by no means a scoundrel, today you Hua Wenxiang won, and I will call you eldest brother in the future, and this vegetable garden, you can come casually in the future." ”

Hua Wenxiang patted him on the shoulder and said with a wicked smile: "Brother Niu, if you have difficulties in the future, just ask the eldest brother for help." ”

Niu Benba could afford to lose, so he hummed in a low voice, and picked up the stone mill on the ground and put it back in its place.

It's just that Niu Benba, who finished the stone mill, left quickly without saying a word, this time he should be convinced, and I'm afraid I don't want to see Hua Wenxiang again, it's too embarrassing.

At this moment, a black cat came out of the vegetable garden, holding a fresh cucumber and chewing it, it should have just been picked from the vegetable garden, and it said to the flower Wenxiang who was watching Niu Benba leave: "Uncle Shi asked you to go to the Broken Demon Ridge in the west to find it, and it said that it was waiting for you there." ”

Hua Wenxiang sighed, and didn't care about the departing Niu Benba, grabbed the black ball and walked in the direction of the Broken Demon Ridge, the black ball didn't want to go to that ghost place, so he lied and said that he had a date with the little brown cat and couldn't go.

Hua Wenxiang turned a deaf ear, and the black ball wanted to cry without tears, and he successfully pushed himself into the fire pit again.

Breaking Demon Ridge is one of the several fierce places in the forest, and has the nickname of Hell Ridge, the huge mountain range is full of bones, and there are countless fierce beasts active here, Hua Wenxiang once came here with the second uncle to help the fat master find a herb, along the way the second uncle did not know how many fierce beasts he slaughtered, and he couldn't count them with one hand, among them, the fierce beast with the body of the lion beast and snake body was the most impressive to Hua Wenxiang, just the two fangs were much larger than Hua Wenxiang's body, that was the first time he saw such a behemoth, both afraid and shocked, but such a behemoth, the second uncle just glared at it fiercely, it ran away like a ghost, and he was confused when he saw it。

After that incident, Hua Wenxiang really determined the unfathomable strength of the second uncle.

The timid black ball remembered every fierce place in the Root Fruit Forest deeply, and it began to regret helping Uncle Shi to trust Xiaohua a little, alas, it was all strange that Uncle Shi had to tempt himself with the osmanthus cake, and he would never be fooled next time.

Breaking the Demon Ridge is not close to Niu Benba's house, and it takes nearly five hours to travel, during which Hua Wenxiang just took a handful of water in the mountain stream to quench his thirst, and did not do anything else to rest, in order to break the soul, he was not willing to delay for a minute or a second.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Hua Wenxiang finally saw the Demon Breaking Ridge that she had been to before, it was still so gloomy, there were continuous roars and wails in the ridge, and it was undulating.

Hua Wenxiang quickened her pace, the black ball lay on her head and cowered, the Broken Demon Ridge is not small, stretching for dozens of miles, Hua Wenxiang walked to the mouth of the mountain with the black ball on her head, and then realized that the entire Broken Demon Ridge became quiet from some point on, Hua Wenxiang raised her vigilance and kept looking around.

Just didn't take a few steps, Hua Wenxiang smiled bitterly, disasters are always sudden, I saw a blood-red falcon in the air swept towards him at great speed, such as the giant spear that was thrown was fast and powerful, Hua Wenxiang reacted quickly, hugged the black ball above his head into his arms and threw himself directly on the ground, dodging the eagle falcon's head-on blow.

The blood-red falcon hit fruitlessly, and immediately swept back, the speed was a little faster, Hua Wenxiang didn't know why, full of energy, put the black ball on the ground, and actually met it, he flashed sideways and firmly grasped the eagle falcon's giant wings.

The two wings of the falcon are strong and powerful, dragging the flower warm and fragrant more than ten feet away.

Not to be outdone, Hua Wenxiang suddenly exerted force with both hands, and pulled the two wings of the falcon fiercely, and countless blood-red feathers suddenly fell in the air.

The falcon chirped in pain, and threw the flower Wenxiang to the ground.

Hua Wenxiang palmed her hands to share the feeling of landing with her feet, skillfully dissolving most of the momentum when she landed, looking at the blood-red falcon in the air, she didn't dare to relax at all.

Just as Hua Wenxiang wanted to get rid of the falcon in one go, a huge saber-toothed tiger jumped down from the high wall and pounced on the falcon, tearing its head off its neck with a big mouth, and tearing its body in half in half with two big claws.

Hua Wenxiang was stunned for a moment, turned around and picked up the stupid black ball and ran up the mountainside, his intuition told him that the fierce beast in front of him was not something he could compete with.

Besides, in the suddenly quiet Demon Breaking Ridge, there should still be a lot of fierce beasts staring at him in the dark, just waiting for the opportunity.

It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, not to mention that in the face of the saber-toothed tiger, an agile beast, running back is definitely certain death, so you can only gamble, run to the mountainside, meet Uncle Shi, it will always be accompanied by a master, and then this saber-toothed tiger will not be happy.

However, some of the ideas were all flukes, the speed of the saber-toothed tiger was far faster than Hua Wenxiang imagined, and it caught up in an instant, the black ball closed his eyes tightly, resigned himself to fate, Hua Wenxiang didn't have time to think of other coping strategies, clasped his hands tightly, and planned to fight hard.

The saber-toothed tiger pounced on Hua Wenxiang, the black ball hugged Hua Wenxiang's head, Hua Wenxiang punched decisively, and hit the saber-toothed tiger firmly in the right eye with all her might.

1,000 wounded enemy and 18 self-inflicted.

The right half of the saber-toothed tiger's face brushed Hua Wenxiang's fist, and with a violent impact, Hua Wenxiang flew out upside down like a broken kite, and her abdomen was hit to the ground with a colic, and the black ball was also thrown out, and she rolled several times, Hua Wenxiang covered her abdomen, her face was pale, and she directly spurted out a mouthful of thick blood.

The right eyeball of the saber-toothed tiger was directly exploded by Hua Wenxiang's straight punch, and the blood donation was direct.

Only one saber-toothed tiger with only one left eye stared fiercely at Hua Wenxiang, roaring and howling.

At this life-and-death moment, a black-robed beast with an unclear face in the shadows threw a dagger with a faint green gas at the saber-toothed tiger, but the flying dagger was knocked to the ground by a stone that came out of nowhere in the air.

The black-robed beast snorted coldly and stopped moving when it saw that the dagger it flew out was defeated.

In the distance, the saber-toothed tiger rushed towards Hua Wenxiang like a madman, and the black ball covered in dirt kept praying to the gods for help, and the flower Wenxiang ninja stood up in pain to meet the enemy.

Strike with all your might, and if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

But when the saber-toothed tiger approached, Hua Wenxiang knew that she would definitely not be able to block this blow, but it seemed that it was too late, so she could only bite the bullet, so that she could fight it for a while, and let the black ball escape when the time came.

Just when his life was hanging by a thread, a green shirt appeared in front of Hua Wenxiang out of thin air, it stretched out its index finger against the saber-toothed tiger's forehead, the latter did not move as if time stood still, only to see the green shirt strangled the index finger with his thumb, and with a flick, the saber-toothed tiger instantly turned into a mess of flesh.

The flowers are warm and fragrant, and Heiqiu'er's heart finally leaves his throat and his eyes return to the same as before.

Uncle Shi rescued us, and the frightened black ball hugged Shi Yan, who was usually the closest to him, and cried for a while, and he was not surprised by Shi Yan's terrifying blow just now.

After Shi Yan comforted the black ball who had suffered from the unwarranted disaster, he walked in front of Hua Wenxiang and asked, "Do you still want to practice martial arts and break your soul?"

Although Hua Wenxiang's face was pale, her eyes were particularly firm, "I think about it in my dreams." ”

Hua Wenxiang understood everything from Uncle Shi's appearance just now, Uncle Shi should have been hiding in the dark and observing, and he would not come to the rescue until the critical moment, so as to test his determination, which is also reasonable.

Practicing martial arts to break the soul is an extremely difficult thing, there are often moments when life hangs by a thread, the more this is the easier it is to stimulate people's potential, and escaping from the tiger's mouth is very beneficial to breaking the soul.

However, outside of this reasonableness, Hua Wenxiang really couldn't have dreamed that Uncle Shi's strength was so strong, he usually didn't notice it at all, and the blow just now was not something that ordinary monks could use.

In the end, Hua Wenxiang's guesses were still wrong, seeing that there was no beast beside Uncle Shi, he knew that the beast that taught him to practice martial arts and break the soul should be the most unlikely Uncle Shi, it seems that Uncle Shi really wants to be his master for the rest of his life.

Hua Wenxiang has a new definition of master, strength is not necessarily proportional to appearance, Uncle Shi is the best example, I don't know how many powerful beasts like Uncle Shi are hidden in the forest.

There are also masters among weak scholars.

Shi Yan put his hands behind his back, looked at Hua Wenxiang with relief and said, "Good job." ”

Hana Wenxiang ninja grinned in pain.

Then Shi Yan looked at a stone wall near the mountainside and said, "Go back and tell Mrs. Yi that my Shi Yan is measured in his work, and he doesn't have to worry about it." ”

There was a voice from the cliff, "I hope so." ”

The green-shirted beast nodded and saw it off.

There was no movement on the other side of the cliff, and the black-robed beast had quietly left.

Hua Wenxiang and Hei Qiu'er looked at each other, this secretly also hid a powerful beast, and the black Qiu'er who was in pain was now a little angry why didn't they come to the rescue earlier.

Hua Wenxiang felt that today was really insightful, the two big pomps and circumstance happened in this Demon Breaking Ridge, the second uncle many years ago, and today's Uncle Shi are all great monks that they yearn for, the kind of strength that is worth a thousand catties with one finger is really mysterious, when will I have that strength.

The young man hopes more and more that he can break his soul and embark on the path of martial arts, hoping to go out of the forest to see the vast world, and even more hoping that Uncle Shi can be his master for the rest of his life.

And from today onwards, the boy will slowly walk towards the other side of hope.
