Chapter 18: What Is a Hero?
"The man is gone?"
"Alas......" Li Tiezhu felt very uncomfortable in the face of Li Lao's inquiry, and turned over the river and the sea in his heart like a mixture of five flavors.
"Is this world really dangerous, and what is the purpose of cultivating immortals?" Li Tiezhu asked blankly
At night, the two sat opposite each other and discussed very philosophical things.
"I don't know why I cultivate immortals, I once admired immortality, and longed to have the power to destroy the world. When I had nothing to worry about, it all lost its meaning. The old man took a beautiful puff of his flue
"What was the concern of the predecessors, who was it?"
The old man paused when he heard the hand holding the cigarette gun, his eyes stiffly shifted to the window, and he looked at the sparse and small stars in a daze, and after being silent for a long time, he spit out a large cloud and sighed softly: "It's just Top Gun, but the ambition is not rewarded."
"When you push everything away with your own hands, you lose everything...... That's it."
"It's late at night, Xiaoyou can set off tomorrow on the horse, otherwise you won't have to travel a thousand miles to avoid running around and tired, and your heart is insufficient"
Looking at Li Lao slowly standing up, he turned around quite stiffly, his slightly trembling body leaned and limped away, and the soft closing of the door on the opposite side seemed to hide countless loneliness and blood.
Am I asking the wrong question......
Li Tiezhu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and stared blankly at the wooden door of Li Lao's room opposite
"Bang bang" Li Tiezhu slapped himself hard with two big ears and shook his head
"This is not something that one of my protagonists should worry about! What I want is to dominate the immortal cultivation world!hahaha...... Ahem"
The next day, when the sun was still dim and shining, Li Tiezhu got up early, just as the so-called line of work was to hit it by surprise!
Otherwise, when they are full of food and drink, won't they become the past and give away people's heads!
Li Tiezhu skillfully untied the horse rope and begged the horse half-pushed and half-coaxed before leaving the stable
"Good brother, I've worked hard for you this time, hehe......"
Li Tiezhu led the white horse and just went out of the door, but he heard a group of people talking about it under the old and huge peach tree in the village, chattering and chattering!
So he led the white horse, whose eyes were blank and half-squinted, and approached curiously
"Everyone has to be careful when they go out of the city to the mountains and forests to collect medicine and hunt these days......"
"In the past few days, there have been a lot more snakes, insects and beasts inexplicably, and they will hurt people......"
"No, Lao Wang was almost injured by the black panther last night! Fortunately, he ran fast and brought the amulet given by the village chief!"
"I heard that I have been bitten on the waist, and I am recuperating in bed! I can't get off the ground for ten days and half a month!"
"Eh, fellow fathers and fellow villagers, where is the old Wang's family? I happen to know a little bit about medicine, maybe I can save ...... people," Li Tiezhu asked, leaving the white horse aside and entering the crowd
Everyone looked at this slightly immature and delicate young man in surprise and wondered
"Aren't you a guest at the village chief's house, can you really save people?"
"That Xiaosheng heard that he is still an immortal, just like the village chief, he will definitely be able to save it!" someone whispered, and the crowd instantly boiled, and immediately several people supported Li Tiezhu and walked towards Lao Wang's house......
Li Tiezhu followed everyone to the old thatched house not far from the old peach tree in the village, the three thatched houses were larger than the houses in the village, the wooden door in the middle of the three houses was hidden, only a few people led Li Tiezhu in, and the remaining six or seven people stayed outside the door to look into the house suspiciously
"Lao Wang, you are saved!
Walking into the house, there is a smell of medicine permeating the surroundings, and there are all kinds of furniture inside, which is considered a relatively wealthy family in the village
When a young girl heard this, she hurriedly walked out to greet the guests, and when she saw Li Tiezhu, she exclaimed, "Flow...... Li Gongzi: Why are you here?"
After everyone explained, the girl suddenly realized, but she was skeptical: "Can the son really save his father......
Looking at the girl's sad and haggard face, Li Tiezhu felt that this person was a little familiar...... By the way, isn't she the girl who peeked at me taking a shower before......
Li Tiezhu walked in front of Wang Xiaofang and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry"
Seeing that Li Tiezhu's heroic face was almost touching his face, Wang Xiaofang only felt that his face was very hot and blushing, and hurriedly walked into a room and said, "Father...... It's in there."
Looking at the little girl's blushing appearance, Li Tiezhu smiled in his heart
"I can't imagine that my skills in flirting with girls are getting more and more proficient......"
There were only Li Tiezhu, Wang Xiaofang and his father in the room, and a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes lying on the hospital bed had his eyes closed, and a handkerchief was still on his forehead, obviously it was a hot summer, but he was covered with a thick quilt, and his body was still trembling.
Li Tiezhu walked in and probed his body with his thoughts, and there was a two-inch wound that was suspected to be torn on his waist, and at a strange time, there was a very faint cold air trapped in the wound, which seemed to be about to spread to his chest! Li Tiezhu lifted the quilt and tore open his clothes to see the wound, but this wound looked carefully but made Li Tiezhu a little hairy in his heart
The wound that looks like it has been rubbed by sharp canine teeth has a small amount of yellow and black pus!
Without further ado, Li Tiezhu immediately took out a bottle of healing pill from the Qiankun Ring, and poured out a small brown pill from a white jade bottle the size of half a palm, covering the smell of medicine all over the room, covered by the fragrance of the pill.
Wang Xiaofang on the side stared at the pill in Li Tiezhu's hand with wide eyes and curiosity, and his small mouth opened wide inadvertently, and Li Tiezhu let out a chuckle when he saw it
"This elixir is taken by monks, if a mortal takes it, it may be smoked by the powerful medicinal power......" Li Tiezhu said thoughtfully, dividing two thin pieces the size of a fingernail with his divine thoughts, one was placed on the wound to penetrate the skin with spiritual power, and the other was integrated into the bowl of medicinal soup on the table
The power of the medicine began to kick in, and the small wound that had been like a tear began to leak more pus, and the wound slowly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the pink new flesh that grew from the flesh began to cover the wound, leaving only a faint wound......
"Later, your father will wake up, take the decoction, and he will be fully recovered!"
Li Tiezhu admonished, looking at Wang Xiaofang, who was stunned on the side, he couldn't help but get closer and scratch Qiong's nose and said with a smile: "If there is anything to come to me in the future, I can do anything!"
Then he strode out of Wang Xiaofang's house with both hands on his back
"I thought Lao Wang was the father of that girl...... Hehe, hey, did another good thing!"
Out of the courtyard, the group of people waiting outside the door saw Li Tiezhu walking out lightly, and they all leaned forward and asked, "How is it, can Lao Wang be saved?"
"It's saved, it's just a trivial matter, you don't have to trouble the village chief in the future, find me, and I'll help you solve all kinds of problems!" Li Tiezhu said confidently
After leaving such a sentence, he rode on a white horse and raised a cloud of dust and left the village with the sound of horses' hooves......
In this way, Li Tiezhu established great prestige in the village in one day and gained the hearts of many people......
......
"I don't know where there are beasts around here...... By the way, old horse, do you talk no, come and chat, it's boring to run for so long......" Li Tiezhu muttered to himself
The surrounding scenery is very good, the river is vast, the surrounding mountains and mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the unknown wildflowers are purple and red all over the mountains, this plain has come to an end, and unconsciously entered the thorny and giant trees towering in the forest...... The light suddenly dimmed a lot, and the shadows of the layers of trees and vines and animals moving made Li Tiezhu deeply understand what it means to be a soldier of plants and trees
The trees that obscured the sky and the sun blocked most of the light, and Li Tiezhu could only cover the surrounding area for hundreds of meters with his divine thoughts, searching for the target
Now it is estimated that it is five or six hundred miles away from Peach Blossom Village, and there is still nothing, and the speed of the white horse under his feet makes Li Tiezhu feel that he has only walked a few miles, but the unfamiliar scene will not deceive
"Can you fly, go around like this, and your head is faint......"
"Naturally"
A strange voice exploded in Li Tiezhu's mind, startling Li Yi
"Groove"
It turned out that the white horse transmitted the sound with divine thoughts, Li Tiezhu frowned, and found that this horse could use divine thoughts! That was at least equivalent to the cultivation of the human race!
"Horses, a group of Matthews are taller than me...... Cultivate a ghost!" Li Tiezhu said indignantly in his heart
On the clear sky, a snow-white horse carrying a young man stretching his waist was flying at high speed, but after a while, Li Tiezhu hugged the horse's neck tightly, otherwise this high-altitude hurricane would have blown Li Tiezhu down! After a sea of clouds, the white horse suddenly descended to the ground
Li Tiezhu also sensed a faint breath in an instant, but even more amazement was that this white horse was so sensitive, and he sensed it in a big step ahead of himself.
Slowly landed in a low stone forest, the chaotic and intertwined boulders were scattered everywhere, and there was no regularity at all, but there was a roar from the depths of the stone forest, and it was getting more and more rapid towards Li Tiezhu
Li Tiezhu instantly understood that powerful beasts would occupy one side, and the territorial consciousness was extremely serious, and only if a strong person stepped in, he would fight to the death!
"Knock, knock, knock"
The dull sound of the fierce beast stepping on the ground Li Tiezhu could imagine the horror of this behemoth, the roar was getting closer and closer, seeing that the intruder did not have the slightest intention of retreating, he accelerated his pace, and the sound of banging and hitting the boulder was endless!
"Good luck, boy!"
After the White Horse Divine Recitation transmitted the sound, he jumped two or three steps away, knelt down on this boulder, sat down, and looked at Li Tiezhu quietly
"I'll go, this is inexperienced...... The ......"
Before the words fell, a two-person high boulder in front of him was suddenly smashed into a large piece of gravel and fell, and a sharp gravel the size of a watermelon fell, smashing Li Tiezhu's head open in an instant, and a trace of blood was left from Li Tiezhu's ear and fell down his chin to his chest......
"I'm stupid! I'm injured before I even started?" Although this time did not bring much pain to Li Tiezhu, this failure made him feel very unhappy
The rubble in front of me fell before I could see the appearance of the beast
It turned out to be a four-person tall "stone tiger" that looked like a tiger but not a tiger, and its whole body seemed to be covered with sharp gravel, and the strange lines were white stones intertwined on its body, not like a creature at all, the stone seemed to be one with the tiger, and the flesh and blood under the deep stone cracks showed that this beast was not made of stone, and the most conspicuous thing was the stone thorn on its tail that was as sharp as the tail of a shoe!
Shi Hu crawled with a fierce look, his mouth protruding, his arm-length canine teeth, and a low roar coming from his mouth
Wagging tail with spikes
All exude extremely WeChat signals!
Looking at Shi Hu's gray eyes, Li Tiezhu tried to communicate with him: "Why don't you let me ?...... the groove"
Shi Hu thought this was a provocation, so he angrily opened his sharp long claws and slammed them directly at Li Tiezhu's head, but Li Tiezhu crawled under Shi Hu's crotch with his hands and feet, jumped onto a big stone and gasped
Shi Hu saw that he had missed the blow, so he turned around in anger and turned around with a fierce gaze at the outsider, who was about to burst out
Li Tiezhu was also blinded, such a big stone tiger is so fast......?!
"Roar!"
Shi Hu had already pounced on Li Tiezhu's head again, opened his bloody mouth and bit it hard, but he smashed the big stone under Li Tiezhu's feet, Li Tiezhu had already jumped behind him, and his heart was also a fire, and he was pressed and beaten before he made a move, he was used to you, right!
"I don't know what to do, you can die!"
In an instant, hundreds of dense sword qi swirled rapidly around Li Tiezhu, the difference was that there was obviously a trace of blood-colored light on the sword qi, and it looked like hundreds of flying swords with blood were swirling
The body protection sword qi shattered the surrounding stones, and suddenly raised a head full of dust, Li Tiezhu took this opportunity to dodge into the smoke and constantly move sideways around the stone tiger, looking for weaknesses in his body, but his body was full of thick stone skin, and it was difficult to find flaws at all
Shi Hu was furious and swept the smoke with his tail, and the sharp barb slashed through Li Tiezhu's chest dangerously, which couldn't help but surprise Li Tiezhu even more!
"You're gone!"
With a loud scream, Li Tiezhu stepped heavily on the ground, jumped on the back of Shi Hu, grabbed the stone on his ear, and smashed it down with a hard punch on his head, the tiger's body shook, and the tiger frantically shook his body in an attempt to fall Li Tiezhu, who was constantly smashing his fist, but Li Tiezhu's left hand was firmly embedded in Shi Hu's body like a hook, and he couldn't shake it off at all!
Shi Hu leaned back and fell heavily to the ground, and successfully pressed Li Tiezhu under him, and the tail spines behind him quickly pierced into the ground with a "bang", obviously penetrating the object, making Shi Hu immediately move to the right side of the gravel and stare at the deep pit under him
Li Tiezhu stood up embarrassed, his left leg was pierced with a knot, blood kept gushing out, and the clothes on his body were already ragged, Li Tiezhu sat on the ground with a gray face and breathed heavily, this time he didn't dare to be reckless, this tiger is really extraordinary, but he is not without gains, the thick stone covered by the stone tiger's head has been broken, and the flesh and blood are blurred inside
"Come on!"
Li Tiezhu shouted, and the sword aura around him was even worse, and he jumped high and raised his fist with a powerful thunder and lightning momentum and smashed it down!
The thigh-thick thighs of the tiger and the spikes on its tail also abruptly gone
"Bang"
A burst of blood spilled, and Li Tiezhu took three steps backwards in succession, but the stone tiger did have half a tail! When he smashed the spikes on the tail, there was also a Dao Wind Blade that shot out and crushed a large section
The tiger was already red-eyed, jumped high, and his palms frantically bred sharp stone thorns and grabbed Li Tiezhu fiercely
All this happened between the lightning and flint, Li Tiezhu didn't have time to think, so he had to face the gods, quickly stepped left half a step, and his fists were shining with a cloud of electricity, and he was facing his palms!
Shi Hu pressed down heavily, and the fierce light in his eyes gradually dissipated and became numb
There seemed to be something surging under his body, and a large patch of dark red blood flowed out from under his body! There was a loud noise from his huge body, a large hole was pierced through his stomach, and the smell of barbecued meat was still bubbling around the wound, and Li Tiezhu walked out covered in blood
The two tiger palms were pierced through two big holes, and Li Tiezhu was still holding a small black shaker tightly in his hand like a bloody man!
Li Tiezhu staggered to the open space, sat down, and breathed in a big breath of air
"Almost suffocated me! This tiger is disgusting......
Li Tiezhu looked at the demon pill in his hand heartlessly and laughed
And he was not unscathed, and the beast still used his teeth......
Li Tiezhu also had a four-inch-long wound on his back that was visible to the bone! It turned out that the blood on his body was not all Shi Hu's
Li put the demon pill into the Qiankun ring, and took out a fist-sized red bottle, which contained only three pale yellow pills Li Tiezhu grabbed one without hesitation and swallowed it directly and began to heal
The blood stains on Li Tiezhu's body, who was sitting cross-legged, became very sticky and dry, and the white horse beside him was very disgusted in his eyes
The wound on his back began to heal, and a faint light and full of vitality made Li Tiezhu's back not leave a single scar, as if the wound had never existed.
After a long snap, the dried blood on Li Tiezhu's body turned into pieces and fell, but there were still some slimy blood stains on his body that had not dried up, and he was about to ride on the white horse, but the white horse flew up lightly, looked at Li Tiezhu with a look of disgust, shook his head and realized that he flew back!
"Make no mistake, I'm seriously injured right now!
When the white horse heard this, a flame erupted from his nostrils, and Li Tiezhu, who was burning, hurriedly begged for mercy
"Ahhh......h
