Chapter 14: The Deep Valley and Pool

Xu Yuntian held the knife in his hand, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, and threw and caught it again and again, looking at the snow clouds fluttering in the sky with empty eyes.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, and said in a slight whispering voice: "Mother, for twenty years, Xu Yanshan only destroyed the Qi Kingdom for you, but never sent anyone to look for you again, Tian'er has never given up." ”

Xu Yanshan came back, it was the blind Lao Zhang who came back on his back, and he didn't come back on the black cloud, and the blind man said that the horse was tired and died on the road.

Xu Yanshan's meridians were broken in half, and it should be extremely painful logically, but he wandered around the palace all day long like a nobody, teasing the birds from time to time, and feeding the dozen or so vicious hunting dogs raised in the backyard, as if he had made up his mind to be an old man who didn't care about the world.

It's strange to say, as soon as Xu Yanshan came back, the snow that had been stopped for a long time began to squirm again, and this one didn't stop for more than ten days, and even those birds that didn't avoid the winter were gone, I don't know if they froze to death in which corner or found a warm place to hide for the winter.

However, in the past few days, there are many people with mysterious whereabouts coming and going in front of the gate outside the palace, all of them are wearing hats and hats, or holding flower umbrellas to half-cover their faces, and secretly glance at them with the corner of their eyes when they pass by the gate of the palace.

Xu Yanshan demolished the huge practice room in the house, and he was afraid that he would not have anything to do with martial arts in his life because of the broken tendons, so he simply couldn't see it and didn't worry about it.

"Bang!" was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and immediately a guard dragged the fallen object away, and the pungent stain left on the ground was immediately washed clean by the servants.

Xu Yuntian stood aside, looked at Xu Yanshan, who was leisurely admiring the plum blossoms in the courtyard, and said, "How many are these?"

King Nanzhou seemed to be in a good mood, it seemed that the continuous assassinations in the past few days had not made him unhappy at all, and said, "I don't know, it's about thirty." ”

He spat disdainfully and said: "These fools dare to take advantage of the fact that this king has no skills to dare to assassinate, if I still have the martial arts cultivation through the dark realm, they don't dare to risk one." ”

Xu Yuntian heard a bit of loneliness and helplessness from his words, probably because he couldn't beat Dao Yunge and couldn't do anything about it.

opened his mouth and said: "Dad, you don't have to be like this, if you really want my cheap uncle to come down from the throne, and millions of people in Nanzhou wear red armor, you can subvert the entire Great Xia with a single word, why do you have to compete with the reckless man surnamed Dao." ”

Xu Yanshan said angrily: "You also think that I covet the throne of the little king and eight lambs like the people of the world? I just can't swallow this breath!"

At the end, I found that this scolding also scolded myself, and sighed and said: "I, Xu Yanshan, live in the world to fight for this breath, the old man of the Dragon Emperor said that I was not as good as him, and I did not have the ability to stabilize the country and govern the world. ”

He said angrily: "But he still passed the throne to my useless twenty-seventh brother." ”

Xu Yuntian laughed out loud and said, "After all, you still want to be the emperor." ”

Xu Yanshan hummed noncommittally and said, "I used to think about it, but in recent years, I have become more and more accustomed to the life of Nanzhou as the emperor of the soil, and I can't be much interested in his half of Daxia." ”

Xu Yuntian quipped: "That's not very good, according to me, Dad, you will stay in Nanzhou honestly to be the uncrowned king, I only have you as a dad, it's nothing if you lack arms and legs, and it's very worrying if it's gone." ”

Xu Yanshan heard that the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he turned his head to find out if there was a guy who could take advantage of it to teach this unfilial son a lesson, but he didn't know which dark wound was involved, and he grinned in pain.

I had to grit my teeth and say, "Little rabbit, you will curse Lao Tzu." ”

Knowing that Xu Yuntian was doing this for his good, he was reluctant to let him take any more risks, so he sighed and said: "Do you think I want to? I don't know what my twenty-seventh brother is, that is, I am still alive, he doesn't dare to do anything, but if I am really absent one day, he is afraid that he will immediately take advantage of the leaderless dragons of Nanzhou to wave his army south." ”

He laughed at himself again: "Everyone in the world says that I am the executioner who slaughtered my own brothers, but how do they know that the old twenty-seven is the most enthusiastic about the emperor's mental tricks, and when I become the emperor, I am afraid that my other twenty-five brothers will suffer all over the house, and I will save them by killing them." ”

Xu Yuntian was puzzled and asked, "Then you are going to bear this big infamy?"

Xu Yanshan said: "I have so much infamy on my back, but I am also quite comfortable." ”

Then there was a silence between the father and son, Xu Yuntian didn't know what to say, so he had to wave his hand to signal Xuanwei, who was hiding in the shadows, to pull the cordon farther away.

Xu Yuntian saw that the back of the king of Nanzhou was a little hunched, and his originally jet-black short hair was also mixed with a trace of inconspicuous white, and the majestic king of Nanzhou on weekdays looked like an old man at the moment.

Xu Yanshan's tone changed and said: "Dad should have fought hard in his life, but he doesn't have many regrets, what I hope most is to hold a grandson as a grandfather as soon as possible, you won't let me round this idea, what a good girl you are, why can't you look down on it?"

Hearing that his father talked about it, he led the topic to hugging his grandson again, and the eldest son of Xu hurriedly snorted and changed the topic: "It is said that the son is three points like Lao Tzu and seven points like his mother, dad, where do you think I am most like you?"

Xu Yanshan frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Your handsome face is like your mother, but this stubborn donkey-like temper is very similar to when I was young." ”

Xu Yuntian immediately seized the opportunity to answer: "You have said that my temper is like you, you can still work against your Lao Tzu for more than 20 years, where am I going." ”

Xu Yanshan stared at the huge copper bell eyes, and was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

It took a long time before he said, "That's it." ”

After a change of words, he asked, "What do you think of these nine thousand miles of South Continent compared to the West Liang of Central Continent?"

Xu Yuntian said: "I haven't been before, how do I know." ”

"Then go and take a look, I can last a few years in this Nanzhou. ”

His Royal Highness Gongzi smiled and said, "Then I'll go and have a look." ”

Xu Yuntian packed up a warm bearskin jacket, wore a tight-fitting martial arts bundle inside, and rode out on a donkey ball on a snowy day.

There is an unnamed deep valley sixty miles west of Nanyang City, the valley is three hundred zhang deep, the bottom is a deep forest with a radius of more than ten miles, accompanied by a water pool of 100 meters in size, if you stand on the edge of the deep valley and look down, there is no blank at all, the snow drifts into the air and turns into a drizzle and falls, it can be seen that this deep valley is unusual.

The road down to the bottom of the valley is only a small path that zigzags against the stone wall on the edge of the valley, and Xu Yuntian went down from here.

The valley is very lively, all kinds of insects and birds are singing one after another, I'm afraid that the birds around Nanyang City are hiding here.

The lake is very clean, there is no half of the floating leaf on it, and there is not a single fish in the pool, and the light blue pool water becomes darker and darker the further down, and the bottom is a piece of darkness. Xu Yuntian looked down a few times, but he couldn't tell how deep it was.

Xu Yuntian took off his shirt, took out a bottle of "Ning Xinsan" from the bag on the donkey ball's back, and poured out a pill and took it.

Then he took out a faded burnt black ancient book from the placket he took off, and it could be seen that there were two blurred big characters on the cover of the burnt black ancient book, and it could be vaguely seen that the two words should be "Zhibei".

The book was given by Aunt Yun when she came down from Lingyun Peak, and it was said to be the only book in the world, Xu Yuntian didn't know how precious it was, but he still understood the truth that wealth was not exposed, so he didn't tell others.

Different from the martial arts collections he read in the Tibetan Martial Arts Pavilion, those martial arts books all introduce the entry from external strength, advocating the way of strengthening the body and strengthening the qi and blood, and then practicing the internal strength step by step, and then turning the internal strength into the troublesome way of internal breath, and this volume of "Zhibei" introduces the way to directly sense the heaven and the earth, and introduce the pure source qi of the heaven and earth into the body to refine the body and strengthen the qi and blood.

Xu Yuntian secretly said that this is very similar to the martial arts practice method of the ancient cultivators recorded in the "Canglan Mountains and Seas", but he has been practicing for more than a month according to this method, not to mention quenching the body, but he can't even feel the so-called source qi of heaven and earth.

However, Master Xu was not discouraged at all, as mentioned in the book, he needed to be in a state of no distractions and no other and no self in order to feel the existence of the source qi of heaven and earth, perhaps because he had not yet reached that state, and he could not be free of distracting thoughts.

Sitting down cross-legged, Xu Yuntian learned Su Xingzi's old meditative posture and remained motionless, and gradually fell silent, and the surrounding insects and birds slowly turned from noisy to ear-catching.

"Tick ........."

It's the sound of rain falling into the water.

"Squeak ......."

It is the slight twisting of the trunk that causes the leaves to break away from the branches.

"Squeak Squeak....."

"Squeak Squeak......"

"Squeak Squeak......"

Xu Yuntian felt a sharp and continuous sound sounding around him, and the state that he had finally entered disappeared at once.

Huo Di opened his eyes, and a gray shadow quickly passed in front of him.

Turning his head, it was a gray-haired monkey, grinning and waving his arms at him, grimacing.

Xu Yuntian scolded, "Annoying guy," and then sat down again, ready to continue looking for the feeling of having no distractions just now.

"No, why does this monkey look so familiar?"

"Not good!" His Royal Highness said secretly, the gray-haired monkey was holding the strange book "Zhibei" in his hand, and he was eager to throw the scroll into the lake at this moment!

Immediately shouted: "Kiss the mother!

As soon as the words fell, I saw the gray-haired monkey raise "Zhibei" high, and then threw it into the lake.

"I'm going to be an immortal banban! Don't let me catch you eating monkey brains!"

Xu Yuntian scolded in a hurry, looked at the monkeys dancing by the lake, and then looked at the strange book that fell into the lake and was slowly sinking, and immediately jumped into the lake.
