Volume 1, Born Lonely and Cold Chapter 47, the sad Shen Cong
Since the last time he returned to the sect on a mission, Xu Bing has been in retreat.
In one night, the injuries in his body had basically healed. The next day, Xu Bing went out directly to find a lot of food and brought it back to the hut.
This food was enough for him not to go out for more than a month, because he had to choose to retreat.
This encounter made Xu Bing pay more attention to the improvement of his own cultivation, and although Zhao Kun said that he had the triple cultivation of the mortal realm, he still died in the hands of Xu Bing.
However, Xu Bing also knew how difficult the battle was this time, if it weren't for the fact that he was a killer before stepping into the cultivation realm, his skills were good, and his mentality had been tempered a lot stronger in the process of assassination for many years, so that he could still think about countermeasures in a dangerous situation, if there was no such premise, perhaps in the face of Zhao Kun, he would have no power to resist.
Shen Cong's injuries were not serious, but he recovered faster after taking the healing pill given by Ma Yujian. Early the next morning, he came to the hut to look for Xu Bing, wanting to go out again to do tasks to earn spirit stones.
Shen Cong felt that since Zhao Kun was now dead, there was nothing to worry about, but when he saw that Xu Bing was in retreat, he still had no choice but to leave.
Shen Cong went to the Mission Pavilion alone to take over the task, and then went out to do the task alone. Just as Shen Cong thought, he didn't encounter any danger when he went out this time, only an eyeless mortal demon beast with a heavy body was arrogant in front of him for a while, and he directly took his life with a reckless bull fist. Shen Cong originally wanted to leave directly, but he suddenly looked back at the corpse of the demon beast and laughed proudly.
Shen Cong finally brought the corpse of the demon beast back to the mountain, it was a demon beast similar to a wolf, but compared to the wolves he usually saw, it was much smaller, and its size was only as large as a newborn lamb.
This monster is called the Wind Seeking Wolf, and its name is also derived from its own talent, although the Wind Seeking Wolf did not have any cultivation when it was first born, but its running speed was already comparable to many demon beasts in the mortal realm, and when they had cultivation, the speed was far beyond the demon beasts of the same realm.
If it wasn't for this wind-seeking wolf taking the initiative to attack Shen Cong before, Shen Cong didn't say that killing it, even if it was to hurt this wind-seeking wolf, it would not be easy.
However, Shen Cong didn't pay attention to these, most of his food during this time was steamed buns and fresh water, and he no longer had the leisurely and luxurious life he had when he was in Fancheng, and now he hunted such a wind-seeking wolf while doing a mission, how unhappy he was.
Shen Cong found a stream of water, washed and stripped the wolf corpse, and then returned to the cave to set up a firewood and roast it. After a while, the smell of meat permeated, not only did Shen Cong's appetite be greatly boosted, but even Ma Yujian, who was in the thatched hut, smelled the fragrance and found it.
However, unlike the two of them, Xu Bing didn't seem to smell the fragrance, and was still sitting cross-legged, silently plucking in his cultivation.
Ma Yujian came to where Shen Cong was, and before he could speak, Shen Cong had already noticed him. Shen Cong thought to himself, such a big wind-seeking wolf can't eat it himself, so it is better to give this old guy some as well, so that he can remember it well, and find him if he needs it in the future.
Thinking of this, Shen Cong hurriedly made a sneering look, looked at Ma Yujian and said, "Master, why are you here, the apprentice just said that I will send some to you and my junior brother when the meat is roasted."
Ma Yujian looked at Shen Cong who was smiling, but he had a serious face, and said, "Well, yes, it's rare that my good disciple still has this filial piety, and I will accept your filial piety today as a teacher."
As he spoke, he saw his hand grabbing the barbecue, and suddenly the entire wind-seeking wolf flew towards him and was directly grabbed by him.
Shen Cong was stunned, thinking to himself, is this the rhythm of robbery. But he was only stunned for a moment, and when he saw Ma Yujian take the barbecue and turn around and was about to leave, he suddenly said with a crying voice, "Master, you can leave some for the apprentice, my stomach is still empty after a busy morning."
Ma Yujian heard this, but did not look back, but directly pulled off a front leg and threw it at Shen Cong behind him, and then did not stop, took the rest of the barbecue and left directly.
Shen Cong took the wolf leg flying towards him, looked at the direction of Ma Yujian's departure with hatred, and waited until he couldn't see the other party, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, dead old man, this is my wolf and my barbecue, and I took my barbecue without my consent."
As he spoke, he looked down at the thin front leg in his hand again, and muttered to himself, "I only have one leg, and it's the front leg......
After Ma Yujian left, he took the roast wolf meat directly back to the hut with a proud face, tasted a few bites, felt that the taste was still good, and was about to continue eating, but he seemed to think of something, glanced at the house where Xu Bing was, and dragged off the hind legs of a wolf, and walked towards Xu Bing's house.
Xu Bing was originally practicing, and he didn't know about Ma Yujian's arrival, but suddenly, his nose moved, and a burst of fragrance seemed to be hovering in front of him, making him unable to calm his mind when he was meditating with his eyes closed.
In fact, Xu Bing's concentration is much stronger than that of many people of the same age, and he doesn't have much pursuit of things like food and wine.
But at this time, in this sect, he hadn't eaten delicious food for a long time, and almost every day he was looking for some steamed buns, melons and fruits and the like, after all, he was just a monk who had just stepped into the path of cultivation and was not yet able to reach the early stage of the mortal realm, after all, he was only a person who had just reached adulthood.
Therefore, when he smelled this fragrance, he still wrinkled his nose unconsciously, and then opened his eyes from meditation, and at the same time saw a roasted wolf leg that was shaking in front of him, and Ma Yujian who was holding the wolf leg and smiling cheaply.
Ma Yujian saw Xu Bing's eyes open, and then said to him, "The good man woke up, come, this is the barbecue given by your senior brother, your senior brother took the task and went out today, and he called back the wind-seeking wolf by the way when he was doing the task."
Ma Yujian said and looked at Xu Bing carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "Well, that's good! It seems that this time I did a mission and fought a fight, which will still help you improve your cultivation, but although cultivation is important, you can't treat your stomach badly."
Xu Bing had already prepared a lot of food, but it was all melons and fruits, and when he saw the wolf leg in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Xu Bing smiled a little embarrassedly, first thanked Shizun, and then reached out to take the wolf leg.
Ma Yujian saw Xu Bing take the wolf's leg, smiled and turned to leave, and at the same time said, "Good disciple, remember to practice hard", and his body disappeared at the door of the house.
Xu Bing nodded at the departing Ma Yujian, and then sniffed the wolf leg in his hand again, and a burst of fragrance suddenly made him also have a great appetite, and then he feasted directly, without the serious and cold appearance in the past.
In the following period, Shen Cong would often take tasks and go out to do them, while Xu Bing had been in a state of retreat.
He also thought that in addition to Zhao Kun and a few others, there was another person who had ambushed him before, and looking at the other party's cultivation, it should also be in the mortal realm. But now that Shen Cong has been out many times, he has never heard of him being hunted down, so it seems that the masked man only came against him last time.
I don't know who wants to take my life, but in any case, the most direct way to save my life is to improve my cultivation quickly, so that I can better deal with crises. Xu Bing didn't think much about it, just continued to retreat and speed up the progress of his cultivation.
