Volume 2 Capture the Sword Chapter 126 Water Demon
Cao Cao respectfully opened the Heart Sutra of the Fire God.
The first thing that catches your eye is the preface, although it is short, but it is very clear, from the Yellow Emperor to unify the world, to the appointment of Zhurong to guard Heng Mountain, and then to the establishment process of the Fire God Sword Technique, it is recorded in great detail.
The second is the main text, which is divided into five volumes: the first volume is the Heart Sutra formula, the second volume is the fire god sword method, the third volume is the marrow washing and healing, and the fourth volume is the marching art of war.
And the strangest thing is that the fifth volume turned out to be a blank. Did the recorder forget to write it, or was it lost halfway, or was there no fifth volume at all?
Cao Cao looked at the white paper in the sun, it didn't look like he had any handwriting at all, which is strange, if there was no fifth volume, why should there be these pages of blank paper?
There must be a mystery in it.
Cao Cao thought so, but at the moment he didn't care about it, because what he needed now was the third volume of marrow washing and healing.
Since this method is passed down from the ancient god Zhurong, let's try it.
He asked Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to help Cao Hong sit up, remove his shirt, and Cao Cao carried out with both hands at the same time, injecting the true qi from Cao Hong's Tianzhu, Shoulder, Sanjiao, Fengmen, Xinyu, Bile Yu, Lung, Liver, Small Intestine and Kidney Yu in turn, and then running from the bottom to the top, in reverse for a week, and finally from the two acupoints of the mouth jade liquid and Jinjin.
After half an hour, Cao Hong's mouth opened widely, and bursts of white foul gas were slowly expelled from his body.
Two hours later, Cao Hong finally groaned and woke up.
The Heart Sutra of the Vulcan is really beneficial!
Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were also very happy and excited.
At this time, Cao Hong was still very weak, but it was a great blessing to be able to wake up.
I believe that as long as you follow the method in the "Fire God Heart Sutra" every day, you will be able to finally recover. It's just that it's hard to say how long this process will take.
However, according to the scriptures, in the initial stage, a person with strong internal strength is required to drain the turbidity on his behalf, and after the patient can walk on his own, he can stand on his own and breathe without the assistance of others.
He sat cross-legged, reciting the Heart Sutra mantra while reciting his own luck conditioning, so after more than half an hour, Cao Cao not only basically memorized the Heart Sutra mantra, but also felt full of physical strength and a hundred times more energetic.
It seems that after the Sword God and the Sword Saint opened up the second vein of Ren Du for him, the process of his cultivation of martial arts was much faster, and the speed of internal force improvement was also much faster.
It's time to go.
Zhang Mei's eyes were red when she cried, and she reluctantly pulled Cao Cao, unwilling to let go.
He also asked Cao Cao to repeatedly promise that once the princess was rescued, he would return to Qinghe immediately, and he could not talk about any marriage in the church, but handed her over to Lu Wanggu as soon as possible.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, Cao Cao has already been taught.
Zhang Wenjing prepared four fast horses and entangled them accordingly.
Cao Cao and Xiahou also each brought an iron sword.
Out of the west gate of Qinghe City, I traveled dozens of miles, then turned north, passed through the ancient city of Phoenix, and then turned to the northwest, running all the way.
It was getting late, and the four of them rode their horses and planned to spend the night in a village in front of them.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw that the villagers were panicking one by one, and after seeing Cao Cao and others, they closed their doors one after another, like a thief.
The village was not big, and it soon came to an end, and there were not a few people in sight, and they all seemed to be hiding from the plague, and they didn't give Cao Cao and the others a chance to speak at all.
After having no choice but to leave the village, he went north to find the next village.
Next to it was a small river six or seven feet wide, and its banks were planted with elms and poplars, and there were also a few willows, and during the passage it was dark and dark, and it slowed down
Footsteps.
The wind blows the leaves, rustles, and unknown birds fly out from time to time, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Fortunately, the terrain here is flat, and it is a large grain-producing county, so the population density is high, and the villages are dense, and soon the next village is reached.
The result was even worse than the previous one, the streets of the village were not wide, there was no one in the desert, and half of the courtyard was pitch black, I don't know if there was no one living in it, or if I went to bed early.
finally saw a few lights on, Cao Cao knocked on the door a few times, and no one paid attention to it at all.
What's going on?
Isn't it customary here to not like to entertain outsiders?
The village is not big, and it is estimated that there is no inn, and after knocking on the doors of several houses in a row, no one answered at all, and even a few of them were still lit, but when Cao Cao knocked on the door, they suddenly went out in a hurry.
The abnormal behavior brought doubts to Cao Cao and others, and they had no choice but to find no one to ask, so they had no choice but to leave.
This was the case in several villages in a row, so Cao Cao and the others gave up their efforts and simply rushed to find a big town at night, and there might be an inn to stay in.
After another tea time, a small town appeared in front of him, which seemed to be brightly lit, so he rode into the town.
At the intersection stands a boulder, on which the words 'Mijia Town' are written.
After walking a short distance, I saw a 'Tongfu Inn' on the east side of the road, and a man had already greeted him with a smile, two men led the horses to the backyard to feed some forage, and another man welcomed the four people into the inn.
There were almost no guests in the inn, and the shopkeeper was about to fall asleep, when he suddenly saw four guests coming, he immediately smiled, and his short and fat body trotted all the way to the four people.
"The four distinguished guests are invited quickly, Xiao Er, go and buy a table of banquets, and then clean up the four upper rooms. ”
Xiao Er answered, and the four of them casually found a table to sit down, drank hot tea first, and waited for Xiao Er to serve the food.
After the shopkeeper's arrangements were completed, he stood beside the four of them and refused to leave.
Mr. and Mrs. Mo are old rivers and lakes, and they know that the shopkeeper is waiting for the guests to pay the deposit.
"How much?"
"Uncle Hui, a total of ten taels of silver. ”
"What?" Mo Wenxue almost suspected that he had misheard, "Ten taels of silver?
"That's right, we have food and lodging here, two taels of silver per person, and the four horses are counted according to one head, so a total of ten taels of silver. ”
The shopkeeper's abacus rattled loudly, and he shook his head when he counted the accounts.
"All we need is two rooms. Qin Hongyi said.
"Back to the woman, the room in our inn is also counted according to the head, whether you live or not, it's the same. ”
"It can't be so expensive, an inn like this can't cost two taels in total. ”
Although Cao Cao has not traveled much in the rivers and lakes, he also knows that his price is ridiculously high.
Xiahou got up and shouted, "Big brother, if you can't do it, change the inn." ”
"The guest officers don't know, our area, there are often water demons at night, so at night, every household turns off the lights early to sleep, and the guest officers in the field do not dare to stay. ”
The shopkeeper chattered and said a lot of rambling.
Cao Cao and the four suddenly realized, no wonder the previous villages were so strange, it turned out that there were water monsters.
But after thinking about it, I felt that the ** of the ten was the shopkeeper's mouth, and in the name of the water demon, he took the opportunity to raise the price.
But it's getting late, and we have to hurry tomorrow, so that's all it takes.
Soon, the wine and food were all together, and it was also counted
Past. After a full meal, the four of them were divided into two rooms.
As soon as Xiahou's head touched the pillow, he immediately snored like thunder.
But Cao Cao never could sleep, he thought about a lot of things, and the more he tried to save it, the more he couldn't sleep.
I don't know when, I suddenly heard a loud gong outside, followed by a loud noise.
Cao Cao was completely sleepy, and rushed out of the room with his clothes and sword.
The guy downstairs saw it and hurriedly said, "Guest officer, don't go out, the water demon is here." ”
"Is there really a water demon?"
"Yes, yes, it will eat people, please go back to the room quickly. ”
At this time, it was even more noisy outside, and the sound of gongs and the shouts of the people were intertwined, and it was obviously extremely chaotic.
Cao Cao ignored the man, opened the door and rushed out.
The man hurriedly bolted the door tightly, shook his head again and again, and said to himself: "Alas, it's over, what a hero!"
When Cao Cao came to the street, he saw panicked people everywhere, all with guys in their hands, but they were either sticks or hoes.
"Fellow, where is the water demon?" Cao Cao asked a man casually.
When the man suddenly saw Cao Cao holding a sword, he was startled, and hurriedly pointed with his hand and said, "It's by the river." “
Cao Cao's arrows were flying, and a few turned over, and saw that a group of people not far in front of him had surrounded the water demon.
Under the faint light, Cao Cao vaguely saw that the water demon was fighting with the people who surrounded him.
Although there were many people, the water demon seemed to know some kung fu, and he knocked down several people with his bare hands, and none of the rest dared to rush forward, but the water demon couldn't break out of the encirclement for a while.
Cao Cao was worried about killing and wounding more people, so he rushed into the battle circle with his sword.
Pointing his sword at the water demon, he asked, "Who is the demon who dares to make trouble here?"
From hair to skin, the water demon is snow-white, only the tattered clothes on his body are old yellow. He was drenched, apparently fresh out of the water, his white hair was dirty and messy, almost covering his face, wet and covered in mud, and barefoot.
When the water demon saw Cao Cao holding a long sword in his hand, he shouted and asked, so he screamed and pounced.
Cao Cao fought with it for a few rounds, and sure enough, he found that it did know some martial arts, although it was far from Cao Cao's opponent, but it was more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
The more he fights Cao Cao, the more strange it becomes, this monster's moves seem to be somewhat familiar, and his body is flexible, like an ape, and he has fought Cao Cao for more than a dozen rounds with his bare hands.
When the onlookers saw Cao Cao's martial arts, they shouted to capture the water demon alive, peel the skin and cramp, and avenge the dead people.
I don't know if the water demon understood the human speech, or was annoyed by Cao Cao, it jumped like thunder, yelling hysterically at Cao Cao, and its eyes shot an angry look.
Cao Cao decided to subdue him, but although the opponent's martial arts were not strong, his light skills were not weak, and he avoided Cao Cao's long sword several times.
Because Cao Cao couldn't bear to hurt its life, Cao Cao couldn't surrender it for a while.
After fighting for a while, the water demon saw that the situation was not in its favor, left Cao Cao, turned around and was about to run away, and his claws scratched fiercely on the besieging people, and several screams came.
Cao Cao saw that it was leaving, and was worried that once it escaped, the people would suffer even more in the future, so as soon as the long sword was handed over, the cold light had reached its back heart.
"Don't hurt it. ”
A cloud of red light floated into the crowd, and with a 'bell' sound, Cao Cao's long sword was knocked open.
When I looked closely, it was Qin Hongyi.
And the water demon who got his life, when he saw Qin Hongyi, forgot to run away, turned around and looked at her blankly, and said vaguely: "Mom, Mom." 2k reading network
