Chapter 30: Buying Food
"It's really brainless, that girl didn't choose him, why did he help them, if it were me, I would never be like this. Ye Chen rubbed his eyes when he heard this, and his breathing couldn't help but become heavy.
"You're not him, I'm not him, so naturally I don't know what he thinks. But he was a hero who changed many people's perceptions of good and evil. ”
"I don't want to be a hero like him, but I want to have the strength of him, the strength that everyone fears. Ye Chen's tone was firm, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"I believe in you, your talent is higher than me and his, and your future achievements will definitely be higher than all of us. But you must remember not to be swayed by hatred, but to learn to judge the truth of things with your heart. The old man patted Ye Chen's shoulder, stood up and patted the dust.
"I've told you so much, it's not too early. Hurry up and go back to rest! ”
After the old man instructed Ye Chen, he turned around and walked towards the forest. Ye Chen thought about it for more than half an hour before he got up and went back to the bamboo house.
The next day, Ye Chen came to the pavilion, and he didn't bring the iron bucket again. After this period of training, the true qi in his dantian has become stronger and stronger, and he himself has also undergone qualitative changes.
After meditating in the pavilion for a long time, running the true qi along the veins of his body for two big weeks, Ye Chen finally decided to give it another try.
When he came to the lake, he didn't rush to step on it, but first activated his true qi and slowly closed his eyes. Without seeing the lake, his heart quickly calmed down. He imagined that the lake was a meadow, and that he was just a man walking on the meadow.
Following the imaginary scene in his mind, Ye Chen took the first step. After that, he indulged in his imagination and walked towards the center of the lake step by step.
He never opened his eyes, for fear that he would not be able to control the fall when he saw the lake, and everything was controlled by his senses.
Before he knew it, he was in the middle of the lake, and he had been standing there ever since, stretching out his hands and perceiving everything around him.
Until dusk, the evening breeze gently swept up, blowing ripples and caressing Ye Chen's cheeks. He knew that it was not too early, and slowly opened his eyes.
After looking at the sparkling lake and his own reflection in the water, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a curvature. He tried to open his eyes and walk towards the lake, but although it was crooked, he did not fall into it.
For the next few days, Ye Chen did this every day, sitting in the pavilion for half a day, and then went to the center of the lake to meditate. Unconsciously, his dantian became more and more substantial, and the whole person became more and more energetic.
After half a month, Ye Chen finally got his wish. The old man showed his swordsmanship for the first time in front of him. But just after Ye Chen was about to learn his swordsmanship, the old man stopped him and directly poured a basin of cold water on Ye Chen.
The old man only played in front of him once, and no matter how Ye Chen pleaded after that, he was not willing to show it a second time.
Time flies, and half a year has passed. Whether it was speed or internal strength, Ye Chen's cultivation was quite hot. Now he can run dozens of miles in one breath without touching the ground, and he can also smash thousands of pounds of boulders with one palm. Nuoda's Sword Valley, he also turned around. But for the swordsmanship, Ye Chen never understood it.
Regarding Ye Chen's progress, the old man didn't treat him as coldly as before, but praised him from time to time. The old man didn't blame him for his delay in realizing the way of the sword, but kept comforting him, and said that it took him three years to realize the way of the sword back then.
For Ye Chen, he naturally couldn't wait that long. He still has a big revenge to avenge, and there are many people he wants to see but hasn't seen.
On this day, Ye Chen enlightened in the heart of the lake as usual. For some reason, the more he wanted to calm down, his mind kept flashing back to his mother's tearful smile when he was separated from him. Gradually, his expression began to distort, and finally he could no longer control his emotions and exploded all at once.
With his shout, the surging true qi instantly burst out of his body, and the originally calm lake surface began to roll up because of the true qi he emanated, exploding one wave after another.
After releasing such a powerful power, Ye Chen did not feel a trace of comfort, but many pictures of living with his mother and Huangfu Qingyun flashed in his mind.
"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm useless, I can't avenge you for so long. ”
Ye Chen sobbed, his expression was extremely painful, and he held his head and suddenly disappeared into the water.
He was tumbling in the water in agony, sinking and sinking. Looking at the bright lake, he suddenly felt a strong desire for revenge, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
With a loud bang, he suddenly burst out of the water, like a dragon going out to sea, startling layer after layer of waves.
"Even if I can't understand the way of the sword, I still want to avenge you. ”
Ye Chen was now muttering to himself on the water, and his eyes had become scarlet. He grabbed his right hand and sucked at the lake, and the water suddenly condensed into a sword.
Like a madman, he danced wildly on the surface of the lake with his sword, stirring up huge waves. The loud noise frightened many of the birds, and the beasts screamed and moved away from the lake.
After a while, the old man, who was meditating not far away, looked up and saw many frightened birds. Suddenly he jumped up a big tree.
From time to time there was the sound of deer chirping in the woods, and observing the direction the birds were coming from, he immediately knew that something was wrong with the side of the Meditation Lake.
Thinking that Ye Chen was still enlightened, the old man immediately rushed over. He also came step by step like Ye Chen, and naturally guessed what was going on.
When he came to the lake, it was exactly as he thought - Ye Chen went mad. He flashed to Ye Chen's side, and without saying a word, he directly exchanged hands with Ye Chen.
He knows very well that if a person falls into a demon, it is useless for you to tell him more, it is better to subdue him directly. And the six relatives of the people who have fallen into the devil do not recognize it, not only are they aggressive, but their strength will be far greater than usual. Once the true qi is exhausted, it is not far from death.
He knew how dangerous Ye Chen's situation was now, so as soon as he went up, he used fifty percent of his strength, and knocked Ye Chen away with one palm in the air.
Ye Chen staggered a few heels on the water, and then got up like no one was right, glaring at the old man viciously.
He swung his sword, and a huge wave suddenly rolled towards the old man. The old man jumped and dodged easily and loosely.
Without waiting for the old man to return to the water, Ye Chen also jumped and fought with the old man. After the two sides fought for more than ten rounds, the old man's heart was ruthless, and with a stroke of his right hand, an extremely powerful sword qi suddenly flew Ye Chen head-on, and he fell heavily to the shore of the lake.
Due to Ye Chen's great strength at this time, although the old man's sword hurt him, it was not as heavy as the injury. He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and then rushed to the old man again, looking like he was not dying.
Seeing that this hadn't made Ye Chen faint, the old man shook his head. He quickly came to Ye Chen, blocking his attack with one hand, and clicking on several of his big points with the other, and then he flashed behind Ye Chen and clicked on his back a few times.
After clicking on the acupoint, Ye Chen's movements slowed down a lot, and he also began to slowly wake up. However, the demonic nature has always suppressed Ye Chen's rationality, and he is still constantly attacking the old man.
The old man dodged a few times, and then another sword struck away the sword that Ye Chen had condensed with water. grabbed Ye Chen's neck head-on, pushed him and hit a tree. Without waiting for Ye Chen to react, he raised his right hand and slashed directly at Ye Chen's neck.
After this blow, Ye Chen fell to the ground with a muffled grunt and fainted.
When Ye Chen woke up again, he found that he was already on the bed in the bamboo house, and his body was covered with dense silver needles.
Unaware, he only felt that the true qi of the dantian was surging, and he was weak.
Looking at the dense silver needles on his body, Ye Chen knew that something must have happened to him. Otherwise, the old man would not have done it.
He thought about it, trying to figure out what had happened, but no matter what he thought. He only remembered that his head hurt and that he fell into the water, and he didn't remember what happened after that.
He tried hard to remember what happened next, but the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt, like his head was going to explode.
Hearing the noise in the house, the old man walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Ye Chen waking up and moving, he stepped forward and held him down.
"What's wrong with me, why am I here, why does my head hurt so much?" Ye Chen couldn't wait to ask when he saw the old man.
"You went mad, I found you and knocked you unconscious and brought you back, isn't this dredging the meridians for you?" the old man replied lightly.
"What?
Ye Chen was a little unconvinced, and thought about it carefully, but when he thought about what happened after falling into the water, his head began to hurt sharply again.
"What about you and I tease you? I'll give you so many needles if it's okay? I'm full and have nothing to do?" The old man saw that Ye Chen was a little unconvinced, and his tone suddenly changed.
After hearing the old man say this, Ye Chen believed his words. He knew the old man very well, and if it wasn't for a big deal, he wouldn't speak to himself in that tone.
"Which ...... How did I get mad?How did you know and bring me back?" Ye Chen asked softly.
"How do I know how you went mad! I saw the birds and beasts in the distance and was frightened, and I wanted to see what was going on, and I didn't want to see where you were going crazy as soon as I came, and I couldn't wake you up, so I had to knock you out and drag me back. ”
