Chapter 26: The Lake of Meditation
"Oh......"
The old man just nodded when he heard this, and did not directly agree to teach him martial arts. Ye Chen saw that the old man had his own considerations, so he didn't ask any more, he knew that asking too much would only be counterproductive, so it was better to ask him again when he had the opportunity in the future.
After the old man returned to the bamboo house, he began to use pheasants to make soup for Ye Chen. Ye Chen leaned in front of the bamboo house and enjoyed the scenery boringly.
After a while, Ye Chen fell asleep bored, and he didn't know how long it took. When the old man woke him up, he brought a bowl of chicken soup to him.
After watching Ye Chen drink the chicken soup, the old man left the bamboo house with a satisfied smile. After about an hour or so, Ye Chen felt as uncomfortable as a fire, and nosebleeds flowed from time to time. He thought it was because the chicken soup was too replenishing, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.
For five days in a row, the old man came on time every day, boiled the chicken soup for Ye Chen to drink, and then left.
On the sixth day, Ye Chen was lying outside the door waiting for the old man like a few days ago. But the old man did not come, and he fell asleep against the threshold.
At noon, Ye Chen still didn't see the shadow of the old man when he woke up. Just as he was about to turn around and enter the house, the old man suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What are you doing? Martial arts are amazing, don't show off in front of me. ”
Ye Chen, who had been waiting for the old man early in the morning, was angry when he saw him, and pushed away the old man who was blocking him, preparing to enter the house.
Seeing that Ye Chen was angry with himself, the old man didn't care, he stared at Ye Chen and said with a smile: "Do you still want to learn martial arts?"
"What, are you willing to teach me?" Ye Chen's face immediately changed when he heard this, he looked at the old man with a smile, and he couldn't believe that this was true.
The old man nodded at him. Ye Chen couldn't be happier after getting his reply, if his legs and feet were sound, with his current happiness, he would have to jump on the roof.
His joy didn't last long, and the thought of himself being half a wreck now came down like a frosted eggplant.
The old man saw Ye Chen's thoughts at a glance, and he smiled: "Your legs can not only be cured, but after being cured, you will practice martial arts faster than others." ”
"Really?" Ye Chen laughed as if he had taken a stimulant after hearing this.
"That's right, your whole body is now confused, and your internal breath is chaotic. Presumably after you fell into the hands of Lin Zhentian, he was afraid that you would escape and go to find him trouble in the future, so he broke your legs, made your meridians disordered, and made it impossible for you to seek revenge from him again in your life. ”
"There are only a handful of people in the world who can heal your injuries, and I am one of them. ”
"Then how can it be cured?" Ye Chen asked.
"This one is very simple, there will be a little pain, as long as you can bear the pain, it will be cured in less than an hour. The old man looked at Ye Chen with a smirk.
Seeing the old man staring at him with a wicked smile, Ye Chen couldn't help but shudder. But when he glanced at his legs, he dispelled his worries.
"I'm not afraid of pain, as long as I can stand up again, even if you break all the bones in my body, I won't frown. Ye Chen said with great firmness.
"That's fine, I'm worried you won't be able to stand the pain!"
The old man approached Ye Chen with a smile, and inadvertently grabbed his hands and twisted them hard, and Ye Chen's hands suddenly 'clicked'.
Ye Chen didn't have time to react, and he didn't even have time to scream before he fainted with a blue face.
After twisting his hands, the old man didn't stop, he lifted Ye Chen's legs again, and his joints crackled. With the sound of bones, Ye Chen woke up again, and then the screams resounded throughout the valley.
When the old man twisted his other leg off, Ye Chen's voice was hoarse. Bean-sized beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead.
After doing all this, the old man took Ye Chen aside and went to the bamboo house to rummage through the plywood.
Ye Chen was lying on the ground and moaning continuously, his eyes were red, the muscles of his face were constantly twitching, except for his head, he now felt that every part of his body was cut off from him, as if his limbs were gone.
After a while, the old man came out with a bundle of splints, looking at Ye Chen, who only had half a life left, he just smiled faintly, and began to splint Ye Chen.
"Pain, pain, pain......"
In the process of putting on the splint, Ye Chen had been howling loudly, almost as soon as he touched him, he screamed.
After neatly connecting the muscles and bones of his whole body, the old man picked up Ye Chen and threw him directly on the bed.
"Old man, this is what you said is a little painful? I lost half my life, and you almost demolished me, do you know?" Ye Chen complained weakly.
"I don't know who just said that he wouldn't frown if he broke all the bones in his body. Why don't you remember after such a while?" the old man quipped.
"You ......"
Ye Chen's eyes widened angrily, and he just wanted to slap him, but there was a heart-piercing pain on his body.
If you want to recover as soon as possible, lie down for ten days and a half months, and remember that you should not try to exert yourself during this time, which will not only slow down, but will also have a second impact on your injury. ”
After checking his injuries, the old man turned around and left, as if Ye Chen's injuries were just a trivial matter.
Ye Chen lay quietly all afternoon, and he didn't see the shadow of the old man until the evening.
The next day, as soon as Ye Chen opened his eyes, he smelled the aroma of chicken soup, and when he turned his head, he found that the old man had already brought the chicken soup to his bedside.
"Old man, old man, are you there?"
I saw that the chicken soup was still steaming, but there was no shadow of the old man in the bamboo house. Ye Chen knew that the old man must not have left yet, so he raised his voice and shouted loudly.
"What are you yelling about early in the morning? Soul you?" the old man walked in from outside the door when he heard this, staring at Ye Chen with an unhappy expression.
"I said you don't have anything else to eat in Sword Valley? It's chicken soup every day, can you change the taste?" Ye Chen complained.
"Don't be boring, you kid! it's good to have chicken soup to drink. Sword Valley has had rules throughout the ages, and it will never harm any living beings in Sword Valley. Do you know how hard it is for me to get these chickens for you, and I'll have to go outside to get you back, and you'll be content!" said the old man.
"Don't hurt living beings? Who broke the rules? Besides, what do you usually eat without harming living beings?" Ye Chen wondered.
"Eat? Didn't I tell you? I can go without eating for ten days and half a month, and even if I want to eat, I will go outside the valley to eat, this rule has been passed down from generation to generation in Sword Valley. ”
"I tell you, boy, don't try to poach the animals in the valley while I'm away, and if I find out, I'll get rid of you first, and then I'll get you out. ”
The old man said very seriously, for fear of missing a little bit and letting Ye Chen seize the opportunity in the future.
Ye Chen was speechless after hearing this, this sword valley was even more strange than he imagined, not only did he not have any swords, but there was also a large basket of rules to follow. And the head of the dignified faction is like a mountain village man, which is incomprehensible to him.
"Stinky boy, don't give me the chicken soup to drink! I worked so hard to get this chicken, don't waste it on me. ”
"What are you drinking, do you see me moving? You know where to shout, don't you know how to feed me?" Ye Chen said.
The old man secretly clenched his fist when he heard this, Ye Chen's unreasonable collision made him feel the urge to rush over and beat him. But after thinking about it, Ye Chen really couldn't move, so he let go of his fist, walked over and picked up the bowl and fed Ye Chen one bite at a time.
After ten days like this, the old man came to stew chicken soup for Ye Chen every day, and the two quarreled every day.
Every time after feeding Ye Chen's chicken soup, the old man shook his hands and left, not wanting to stay with Ye Chen for a moment.
Ye Chen also slowly began to be interested in the old man's whereabouts. Ever since he came here, he had never seen the old man stay here for a night. I can't help but wonder that there might be a place to live in this Sword Valley, and it is very likely that the old man has been staying somewhere.
After another four or five days of quarrels, Ye Chen was finally able to get out of bed and walk around. He hadn't felt his leg for a long time, and he couldn't wait to jump out of bed. Wandering around the bamboo house.
The old man saw that Ye Chen could move around, so he no longer stewed chicken soup for him personally. After coming to Sword Valley, he threw the chicken away and turned to leave, never asking about Ye Chen's injury.
Without the old man's harassment, Ye Chen was quite comfortable, and he went around after drinking the chicken soup every day. When he was free, he took a bamboo pole and slowly gestured in his hand, practicing his previous swordsmanship.
On this day, Ye Chen walked farther and farther, gradually moving away from the bamboo house, and there were many birds and beasts in the mountains and forests. If he is not careful, Ye Chen will startle a group of birds or scare away some animals.
At first, Ye Chen remembered the old man's words after seeing these animals, and didn't dare to pay attention to them. But as he saw more and more animals, Ye Chen finally wavered.
This Sword Valley is so big, and there are so many animals, Ye Chen thought to himself, just hit a hare or duck or something, and the old man wouldn't know.
Ye Chen quietly looked for a target in the mountains and forests, those large animals were not within his hunting range, because there was too much meat in this way, and it would be a waste if he couldn't eat it. He wouldn't think about pheasants either. The old man gave him pheasants to eat every day, and he was about to vomit.
After searching for a while, Ye Chen saw several hares jumping around on a hillside in the distance. Ye Chen immediately cheered up and quietly touched it.
Ye Chen got closer and closer, and slowly came to the back of the bushes that were less than ten meters away from the hares.
Just as he was about to take it by surprise. There was a commotion in the distance, but suddenly the frightened hare fled in all directions, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
