9. Then go and die
Chen Jiuge had a long, long dream, dreaming that he was wearing a strange white coat and facing some strange people and doing strange things.
Everyone called him Dr. Zhang.
Then the screen suddenly turns... He was forced into a magical flying machine, and was flying into the air when he was struck by a purple lightning bolt, and...
Then he woke up from his dream and found himself lying in a simple thatched hut. There was also a strange uncle who was cooking meat by the fire.
"You're awake!" said the uncle.
"The day before yesterday, when I was hunting, I heard a strange noise near the valley, so I ran over to take a look. I found you lying in the snow with no pants on.... I thought you were dead!"
Uncle Hunter smiled casually, revealing a mouth full of loose yellow teeth.
Chen Jiuge was still immersed in the dream just now, and felt that he was so real in the dream. On the other hand, my current self is completely out of my control, as if it is falling apart, and it hurts everywhere.
Under the perception of mental power, he found that he had broken two ribs, his right leg was also tied with a wooden stick, and his body was full of abrasions.
"Where is this?" asked Chen Jiuge.
"This is near the Windward Valley of the West Hidden Mountain. Uncle Hunter poured him a mouthful of broth and asked:
"Young man, what's your name?
"I am... My name is Chen Jiuge. ”
Chen Jiuge is not used to lying, so he simply doesn't say what he doesn't want to say. The hunter uncle didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them chatted without saying a word.
Ten days later, Chen Jiuge sat up cross-legged on the earthen kang.
Then he induced the true qi, and found that the true qi in his body became very strong, like a surge, and the meridians in various places were opened up like a river.
"This is the late stage of the acquired realm? It's a little different! The true qi is obviously a little mixed and impure, it seems that you have to find someone to ask for advice. ”
"The spiritual power perception distance has expanded to ten zhang away, and the strength has also increased a lot, this medicine snake blood is really magical...!"
Chen Jiuge couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Jiu, your body and bones are not well, don't move, lie down quickly!
The hunter's uncle advised him to lie down and told him again. Then he put on his bow and arrows and went out hunting with a short knife ...
Although the recovery power of the martial artist of the Acquired Realm is faster than that of ordinary people, judging from his original injury, he is afraid that he will not be able to get out of bed for a month.
But Chen Jiuge clearly felt that his broken bones had almost healed...
"How is it different from what the book says? Or am I different from everyone else?"
On second thought, it's not a bad thing anyway. It was the strange dream from before that that made him start to think crankily again.
At this time, the mouse happened to find him.
"Squeak... The squeak snack goods have obviously lost weight, and the mood is both excited and aggrieved.
"I've been looking for you, okay, you've been looking for a long time, I've found you...!"
Chen Jiuge looked at it, touched its head, and his nose was slightly sour: "I'm fine... It's made you suffer a lot!"
"What I've been eating these days is really unpalatable... But it doesn't taste like it's bitter!" The mouse said about the food he had eaten these days, with a look of disgust.
"Well, they're all hungry and thin... I'll get you something to eat!"
Chen Jiuge lit the fire with a fire fold, and was about to roast some meat for the mice to taste.
Seeing this, the mouse said, "I've tried to grill meat, but I can't always do it well!"
Chen Jiuge was a little surprised and asked, "You also know how to barbecue meat, how did you make a fire?"
In the subconscious of the mouse, Chen Jiuge didn't want anyone to find out that it would breathe fire and discharge and walk upright, so he hadn't shown it in front of people in the past few months.
"I'll breathe fire and discharge! I remember you would, didn't you forget?"
After that, he showed off all his abilities.
"Really? It feels familiar... Will I too?"
Chen Jiuge tried it, and found that a flame appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand, and then the flame was withdrawn, and another arc of electricity appeared.
"I really know how to! I just don't feel that this fire and electricity are very powerful, so I'll test it another day..."
This taste is like a lost and regained joy, but it doesn't feel too magical.
Then he remembered something more important, and asked the guinea pig:
"Brother Zhang, how are they now..."
"I don't know... I'll take them out to find you, and then we'll split up... Then I heard the bad guy yelling on the hillside... Too scared to come closer," the mouse said truthfully.
"It's Jingyun's devil?... If Brother Zhang and Pu'er meet him, it will be dangerous!"
Chen Jiuge's mood became a little impatient, he had long regarded Zhang Quan and Pu'er as his relatives, if something happened to him, he was afraid that he would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life!
"We'll have to get back in as soon as possible..."
Then he found a wooden stick to use as a crutch, and left the thatched hut of the hunter with the mouse.
The entire mountain forest was covered with thick snow, and there was no road in sight, so Chen Jiuge could only grope his way all the way east.
After a pillar of incense, he noticed a group of centaurs in front of him. And the one who walked in front was the hunter uncle.
Chen Jiuge was very excited, he could take this opportunity to say goodbye to his uncle, and by the way, he inquired about his name and address, because Brother Zhang taught him to be a man to be grateful...
"Uncle...!" Chen Jiuge shouted at Uncle Hunter.
"Xiao Jiu, run... They're here to get you..."
The hunter uncle shouted at him, but before he could finish shouting, he was slashed down by a big man beside him, and blood splattered all over the ground.
Chen Jiuge didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and a fresh life would disappear in front of his eyes like this!
"Uncle...!"
"Why did you kill the uncle, why?" Chen Jiuge knelt on the snow and cried, also angry!
The man in the lead rushed forward with a knife and jokingly said:
"Chen Jiuge, you really didn't die! Pharmacist Jing is still waiting to refine your medicine!"
"No matter who you are, if you kill your uncle, I will kill you to avenge your uncle...!"
Chen Jiu Ge used the wooden stick in his hand as a sword, slowly got up and pointed at the gang and roared.
"It's up to you, a little stinking servant?"
The leader is very disdainful, he is a dignified mid-day martial artist.
"Catch it alive...!"
As he gave the order, seven warriors surrounded him, and then swarmed up, but they underestimated the limping young man in front of him.
Chen Jiuge didn't care about the attacks behind him and on both sides, these martial servants didn't even reach the acquired realm, and they couldn't hurt him with their fists and feet alone.
He just stared at a warrior in front of him, and stabbed him with a stick as a sword.
It was a very direct stab, but the power was very great, and the speed of the shot was surprisingly fast, so fast that the warrior was pierced through the chest and abdomen before he could come to his senses, and he fell down with a look of disbelief on his face.
Seeing this, the rest of the warriors quickly drew their knives and swords.
A martial servant took the lead in slashing over, and Chen Jiuge stepped forward slightly to grab his right wrist, and then broke it hard.
The sound of cracking bones, as well as the howl of the warrior who killed a pig, made people's scalps tingle to hear.
Then he threw a punch in his left hand, striking him in the head. The warrior's head blossomed in an instant, and he lay on the ground motionless.
After Chen Jiuge grabbed the knife and started it, the remaining warriors were besieging but not attacking, probably frightened by the tragic situation just now.
Seeing this, the leader shouted:
"He's got a wound on his leg... Let's do it together!"
Then he quickly stepped back and picked up the hunting bow and quiver from Uncle Hunter's back.
The five warriors received the order, and they all came out with their swords.
Chen Jiuge's right leg was just healing, and he could only rely on his left foot to dodge the sword behind him, and swing the knife to slash the two people in front of him on the left.
With the flash of two sword lights as fast as lightning, the two warriors were instantly cut through their throats and fell down. Then he threw the knife backwards with his backhand without looking back. I saw that after the knife was taken out of his hand, it directly pierced the chest of a martial servant behind him.
The remaining two warriors quickly retreated two feet away, their hands holding their swords trembling incessantly, obviously frightened.
There was a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow hit the lower abdomen from the left side. Chen Jiuge was shot, and instantly fell to his knees, covering the arrow wound with both hands.
"Tsk... Tsk, I thought you were so good!"
The leader looked very proud and slowly walked towards Chen Jiuge. It seems that he didn't pay attention to the death of those warriors at all.
"Go up and tie him up, but don't let him die, it's useless if he dies!"
The two warriors approached cautiously, and just when they wanted to investigate his arrow wounds, Chen Jiuge suddenly attacked, and slashed the martial attendant's heart on the left with one palm, killing him in the palm of his hand.
The warrior on the right had just turned to flee when he saw an arrow piercing his back in the heart, and then fell in response.
The leader didn't expect that the arrow he shot just now didn't even break Chen Jiuge's belly, but was firmly grasped by him.
“... This kid is at least in the late stage of the acquired realm... No, maybe it's already the pinnacle!"
When the leader saw this, he turned around and was about to run.
At this moment, a long sword on the ground rose into the air and flew straight towards him, piercing his thigh. The sudden pain caused him to lose his balance and fall on the snow.
"Tell me, who are you? I'll give you a good time!"
Chen Jiuge casually picked up a knife in his hand and approached step by step.
"Uncle Chen... Spare your life, the villain is..."
The leader begged for mercy, but the poison dart had been secretly held in his right hand. It's just that under the perception of spiritual power, Chen Jiuge has already discovered his intentions. He can even catch a bow and arrows with his hands, how can a dark dart withstand him?
It's just that with a horizontal knife in his hand, the poison dart was instantly knocked away.
"Don't say... Then go die, I can guess anyway!"
Chen Jiuge used his spiritual power again, and the arrows scattered on the ground pierced the leader's throat, abdomen, and heart one after another, and finally turned into a hedgehog...
"Uncle Hunter, I don't know your name yet! If you hadn't saved Xiao Jiu, maybe you wouldn't have died!"
"Uncle is a good person, a good person should live a long life, live a happy life without disasters and pain. Damn it, those bad guys, they have no humanity, they kill innocents indiscriminately, they deserve a thousand cuts..."
In the end, Chen Jiuge found a nearby hillside that was a little higher and a little sheltered from the wind, dug a pit with his knife hand, and buried the uncle's body with his bow and arrows. I kept the short knife that my uncle carried with me as a souvenir.
In order to prevent the beast from destroying it, he deliberately brought several large stones and pressed them on them. Then carved six large characters on the stone:
Uncle Hunter's Grave...
The guinea pig doesn't seem to understand human emotions very well, and just watches silently the whole time, without asking why. Seeing Chen Jiuge kowtowing, it also learned to kowtow...
