Chapter 29: Gone Crazy
Ye Chen ate and drank by himself, not caring what the old man thought of him. In a few moments he was well fed, and after getting up and patting his belly, he lay down on the bed, and it wasn't long before he began to snore.
Seeing that Ye Chen was asleep, the old man also stopped his chopsticks. He left the bamboo house with a satisfied smile.
The next morning, Ye Chen got up and found that a table of wine and food should not have been taken away by the old man, regardless of whether it was cold or not, so he ate and drank again.
After eating and drinking, Ye Chen took a break and came to the iron bucket to prepare to carry it to the back mountain.
Although the road to Houshan was relatively smooth, Ye Chen was also tired and paralyzed after lifting it into the pavilion. I didn't have much strength to carry it around the lake anymore.
After a while, the old man came to bring him chicken soup, and seeing Ye Chen's appearance, he naturally had a blow. After being provoked by the old man, Ye Chen didn't care whether he was tired or not, and began to walk around the lake with an iron bucket, after all, he couldn't be looked down upon by the old man.
These two iron buckets were too heavy for Ye Chen, and when he barely turned around, it was already dusk. Helplessly, Ye Chen had no choice but to return to the bamboo house.
After returning to the bamboo house and not seeing the old man, Ye Chen suddenly relaxed a lot, he was afraid that the old man would see his embarrassed appearance and say something again.
He hadn't meditated today, and he was so sore that he couldn't sleep for a while, so he just went back to bed and meditated.
Listening to the birdsong outside the house, Ye Chen rubbed his eyes and got up, he fell asleep after meditating last night, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
Even though he was still sore all over, Ye Chen still held back and walked towards the back mountain together.
Just like lifting the wooden barrel before, Ye Chen was tired and half-dead every day in the first few days. But he slowly began to become proficient, and his strength became stronger and stronger, and he no longer had the same difficulty lifting the iron bucket as before.
After another two months, these two iron buckets were already trivial to Ye Chen, and now he carried the iron bucket just like he carried the wooden barrel before, and he could easily carry it and run away.
This time, in order to prevent the old man from believing it, Ye Chen returned to the bamboo house in advance with two iron buckets in one afternoon, wanting to hold them up to show him in front of the old man when he came, so as to slap him in the face.
As Ye Chen expected, the old man returned to the bamboo house when it was almost dark, and brought a pot of wine with him, and a roast chicken wrapped in paper in his hand.
As soon as they met, Ye Chen couldn't wait to lift the iron bucket in front of him, threw the iron bucket high, and then caught it.
He thought that the old man would praise him well, but he didn't expect the old man to just look at him lightly, and send him away with an 'oh'.
Ye Chen, who didn't wait for the old man's praise, was naturally very unhappy, and without waiting for the old man to pay attention, he snatched the roast chicken in his hand, opened the paper and quickly took a few bites.
"You kid, dare to rob me of something?"
The old man came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to knock him on the head, but was dodged by Ye Chen.
"Okay, boy, there is progress! come, I'll accompany you through two tricks. ”
The old man smiled and stretched out his hand, Ye Chen saw that he wanted to make a move, turned around and ran away.
In the past, when he was in a small mountain village, Huangfu Qingyun had cleaned him up in the name of recruitment. And this old man is his junior brother, and the two of them are from the same school, so it is inevitable that they will not clean him up in the same way.
Ye Chen didn't run into the bamboo house, that would be tantamount to throwing himself into a net, he ran directly into the woods. Seeing that Ye Chen was running so fast, the old man was also interested, and he chased after him, wanting to see how strong Ye Chen was now.
Since practicing carrying this iron bucket, Ye Chen's foot strength has become stronger and his speed has become faster. He insisted on meditating every day, and his perception also improved rapidly. Now he can move freely through the forest without using his eyes.
He was so fast that he could only hear the wind brushing in his ears. The old man followed, keeping his distance from him, only occasionally running to a meter or two away from him to scare him and force him to increase his speed.
Ye Chen sometimes ran on the ground, sometimes jumped onto the branches. Trying to slow down the old man with a complicated route. But no matter how he jumped or jumped, the old man was like his shadow, always following him, never slowing down.
After running for a while, Ye Chen also discovered the old man's intentions. He knew very well that with the strength of the old man. It's easy to surpass him. The reason why I have been following me is just to see how fast I can go.
After knowing the old man's intentions, Ye Chen had no scruples, he didn't have to worry about the old man catching up and cleaning himself up, and ran forward wholeheartedly, and his speed suddenly increased a lot.
The two of you chased me for nearly an hour, and Ye Chen finally couldn't stand it anymore, and lay on an empty grass tiredly.
The old man stood quietly behind him, his face not red or breathless, and he didn't even have a heartbeat.
"Old man, how is it, it's fast enough, right?" Ye Chen gasped.
"It's still not enough, you need to work out more, you have a lot of potential, it's far from it. ”
The old man was unusual, this time he didn't hit Ye Chen again, but came behind him and patted him lightly on the back, which was regarded as an encouragement to him.
Ye Chen sat and stared up at the moon in the sky. The old man also sat down tacitly. The two were silent for a long time, looking at the moon and quietly listening to the insects around them.
"You say, is there really an immortal in this world? I used to be just an ordinary person. I don't know my life experience, and I think that no one in this world knows martial arts. ”
"I always thought that the immortals and heroes that the dead old man told me since I was a child were all lies, until one day he showed his martial arts in front of me. You know, when I saw him standing in the treetops, I really thought he was a god at that moment. He taught me kung fu and trained me hard just to keep me alive, and now I have survived, but he ......"
Ye Chen sobbed as he spoke, and the old man sighed when he heard this, and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Old man, why are you so stupid when you say dead old man? For me, the person who has always hated him, he actually sacrificed his life to protect him, is it worth it?" Ye Chen looked up at the old man and said.
"He thought it was worth it, and I remember saying that he wanted to live a life of unfettered and ignore the rules of the world. But in the end he carried too much, and perhaps death would be a relief for him!" said the old man, shaking his head, and only a sigh could be heard.
"Tell me, what kind of man is he? He never told me about his past, and he always shook his head when I asked him. ”
He is a legend, a true man who stands up to the sky, and a hero in the hearts of many people. The old man said very seriously.
"He's half my master, tell me his story! Ye Chen prayed.
"Boy, if I tell you his story, I can't finish it in a few days and nights, there are too many of his deeds. ”
"Well, to make a long story short, to talk about the main thing, I really want to get to know him. I wonder what he has experienced, and he is willing to stay incognito in a small mountain village for thirty years. Ye Chen said.
Seeing Ye Chen's eagerness, the old man finally wavered, "He was originally the next generation inheritor of my Sword Valley. At that time, the master confiscated me, and he was only a disciple, and it was only because something happened to him that year that the master made an exception to overcharge me. ”
"What's the matter, can you make your master break the rules?" Ye Chen asked.
"It's just a misunderstanding. Back then, he was high-spirited and offended people who couldn't go to the rivers and lakes, and one of them was the son of the martial arts supreme at that time. ”
At that time, he didn't know Lin Zhentian's true identity and became good friends with him. And the two of them finally fell in love with a girl at the same time, and they were very close to her, and it just so happened that this was the baby daughter of the martial arts supreme. ”
"Knowing Lin Zhentian's true identity, the Martial Arts Supreme originally wanted to use this daughter to capture Lin Zhentian and threaten the Shura Palace. But this girl also had a good impression of Lin Zhentian, how could she let her father kill him, so she quietly eloped with him. At that time, for their safety, he took the initiative to block the pursuers for them, but was finally arrested. ”
"The Martial Arts Supreme didn't dare to do anything to him because he was afraid that he was the heir of my Sword Valley, and he was released after being locked up for a while. ”
And soon after he came out, he heard the news that one of the girls he liked had died in the Shura Temple. ”
In the end, he tore his face with Lin Zhentian for this matter. And the Wulin Supreme also blamed him for his daughter's death, saying that if he hadn't stopped him, they would have recovered her daughter a long time ago. ”
In the end, all the major sects forced to the Sword Valley together, in order not to embarrass the master, he broke off the relationship with the master in public, and was also forced by the Wulin Supreme to avenge his daughter, and finally he carried the sword to the Shura Hall alone. But Lin Zhentian did not die, he was captured instead. ”
For some reason, in the end, the Shura Temple also let him go, but since then he has also been hunted down and killed by all the righteous people, saying that he has taken refuge in the Shura Temple. ”
"A few years later, the Shura Hall invaded in a big way, and those righteous people were killed by surprise. In the end, he appeared, and he single-handedly blocked the seven masters of the Shura Hall and killed them all, and in the end, he also seriously injured Lin Zhentian. But in the end, when people looked for him and wanted to clear his name, they found that he was gone. ”
"At the time, many people said he died, and some people said that he was just seriously injured and left. But what is certain is that he has appeared in the rivers and lakes since then. I also always thought he was dead, until not long ago I received a biography from him. ”
