Chapter 36: The Run
Since Zhao Xifeng entered the academy to study, Zhao Wu had to get up before his son every morning and prepare the breakfast for him before refining his body, and he did so every day, without stopping.
Today is still the same, but after the soy milk and cakes are heated, Zhao Wu searched all over the house, and did not see Zhao Xifeng's figure, only found a note on his desk, Zhao Wu was illiterate, so he hurriedly took the note to find Li Xuan next door, Li Xuan looked at it, and said to Zhao Wu in shock: "Uncle, the note was left by Brother Xifeng, he said that he was going to Xifeng Mountain to see the eagle practice kung fu, because he was afraid that you would not allow it, so he left early this morning! Brother Xifeng's footsteps should have gone far by now!"
Zhao Wuxian is anxious, since the last assassination, if he is not afraid of affecting Zhao Xifeng's studies, he can't wait to follow his son all the time, the current murderer has not yet returned to the case, maybe he has been looking for opportunities nearby, and Zhao Xifeng dared to go out of the town alone, and he had to run to Xifeng Mountain, seventy or eighty miles away, how could Zhao Wu put his mind at ease, hurriedly ran out, and said urgently: "I'll go to find Mu Zhutou!"
Li Xuan hurriedly shouted behind him: "Uncle Zhao, it's useless, I'm going to find Master Dry Sea!"
"Yes, yes, Master Kuhai has great skills, he must be able to find Xifeng!" Zhao Wu hurriedly replied.
So the two rushed to the small temple together to explain the situation to Kuhai, and after Kuhai heard it, he shook his head and smiled: "I said that early this morning, I saw Zhao Xiaoshi hurriedly passing by the door of my small temple, but he didn't stay to practice, it turned out to be out of town." ”
Zhao Wu nodded and said: "Yes, master, if you can't do kung fu, you can learn slowly, if this person has three long and two short, then everything will be over!
Kuhai did not reply to Zhao Wu immediately, but lowered his head and thought for a while before saying slowly: " Zhao Shizhu is a little restless, Xifeng has been smart since he was a child, and he can calmly deal with danger, and he has been studying in the school for a long time, the truth is still understood, I think he should know very well what he is doing, Zhao Shizhu does not have to worry too much, children always have to grow up, please give Xifeng a little more space, besides, within a radius of a hundred miles from the town, with Xifeng's astuteness and the degree of cultivation now, plus the monk cares, it is difficult to have an accident, so please rest assured that you can go back. ”
The implication is that he acquiesced to Zhao Xifeng's self-assertive trip.
Zhao Wu still insisted, but seeing that Kuhai waved his hand lightly at him, signaling that he didn't need to say much, he had to give up, and left the small temple with worry, and said to Li Xuan that he would go to the north gate of the town again, maybe he could intercept Zhao Xifeng, who had not gone far.
After sending Zhao Wuduo away, the old monk of the withered sea retreated to the small temple, slowly closed his eyes, in his inner view of the world, more than ten golden silk threads were scattered in every corner of the town, only one of them, at a fast speed, through the ridge forest outside Panlong Town, straight to Xifeng Mountain.
The monk smiled with relief, thinking in his heart, if Zhao Xifeng is really the old man, not to mention the small Xifeng Mountain, which is the big in the world, where can he not go?
So he sat down cross-legged, paying attention to Zhao Xifeng's strand of golden thread from afar, silently protecting the son of the deceased.
Time went back two hours ago, when the stars and the moon were in the sky and the sun was still hiding on the other side of the earth, Zhao Xifeng put on his clothes, turned out Zhao Wu's marching kettle from the bottom of the box, brought the fire twist and dry food, put the remaining bits and pieces into the bookbag, left the house lightly, went out of the city from the south gate of the town, and went straight to the direction of Xifeng Mountain.
Although Xifeng Mountain is in the northwest of the town, for some reason, Zhao Xifeng always wants to take another look at the peach tree outside the small temple before leaving the town, just like the wanderer wants to say goodbye to his mother before going away, but the peach tree still looks lifeless, and there is no sign of flowering.
After leaving the town, Zhao Xifeng did not stop taking a step, and ran on the field outside the town in the style of a horse.
Panlong Town is already the northernmost place in the northwest of the Zhou Dynasty, starting from here, there is no post road on the road to Xifeng Mountain, so Zhao Xifeng takes the middle line directly.
In addition to the cultivation of qi, these nine postures taught by the dry sea also have some other magical uses. For example, at this time, when Zhao Xifeng used the posture of running on a horse, the running speed was nearly fifty percent faster than usual, and the true yuan circulation was endless, and his endurance was also greatly improved, in just one hour, he had traveled nearly forty miles, and Xifeng Mountain was only more than seventy miles away from the town.
At this moment, Zhao Xifeng ran rhythmically all the way in the wilderness on the edge of the empire, the wind was under his feet, the surrounding grass and trees quickly retreated, the white clouds in the sky flowed, and the grass on the earth grew and the warbler flew.
Halfway through the journey, Zhao Xifeng stopped, leaned against the tree, ate dry food, recovered his physical strength and consumed more than half of the Lingyuan, and suddenly thought in his heart that if he changed to be a post man with his current foot strength, the post station would not even need a horse, and his father could immediately retire early to retire for the rest of his life.
Finally, before noon, Zhao Xifeng rushed to the foot of Xifeng Mountain.
The people of the Zhou Dynasty generally did not know much about Xifeng Mountain, which was located in the borderland, whether it was a student who traveled to the mountain, or a visitor who went into the mountain to collect medicine, he would not take Xifeng Mountain as the first choice, and because of this, except in the Great Zhou Military Aircraft Department, no one had a complete picture of the map of Xifeng Mountain. And when Zhao Xifeng really arrived at the foot of the mountain, he knew that this mountain range stretched so widely, and the drop was so high! At the foot of the mountain was a verdant pine forest, and halfway up the mountainside, the snow could already be seen, and as for the main peak of Xifeng Mountain mentioned in the dry sea, it was almost completely hidden in the clouds in the distance, almost invisible.
Zhao Xifeng didn't spend too much time sighing at the bottom of the mountain, and after confirming the direction, he was ready to set off, and he was only two months away from rushing back to the town to meet the school exam. The most important thing is to find the Flying Eagle in the mountains as soon as possible, and fully imitate it, and then quickly rush back to Panlong Town, and strive to obtain one or two other laws suitable for you from Zhong Li.
So he took out his leggings from his backpack, broke off a branch at hand as a walking stick, adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, and walked step by step towards the direction of the main peak of Xifeng Mountain.
North by Northwest, just in the middle of the boyhood.
