Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, summer goes to autumn, autumn goes to winter, and four months have passed.

The life of the Jade Hall was very regular, and after learning about the difficulty of being promoted to a formal disciple, the medicine boys let go instead, no longer fantasizing about passing the test, and only honestly studied according to the arrangement of the Rejuvenation Pavilion.

Shen Yun still secretly cultivated every night, but unfortunately he didn't find any special effects of True Yuan Force, which made him a little disappointed, could it be that this was really just a book of exercises to strengthen the body?

Of course, the changes in myself are still very huge, deaf and clear, clear thinking, full of energy, even if I don't eat or sleep for a few days and nights, there is no problem.

Probably because it is an introductory exercise, the cultivation is fast.

Some time ago, I touched the bottleneck of the second layer.

In the past four months, Shen Yun's figure has grown a lot.

Of course, Guo Long is also tall and strong, especially after Guo Long has cultivated the internal strength and heart method, his strength has increased greatly, and there is no problem in breaking the red brick with one punch.

This made Shen Yun quite envious, but it was a pity that he tried to use Guo Long's exercise method to operate the True Yuan Force, but he couldn't achieve a similar effect.

Now, several medicine children are no longer so afraid of taking turns to test drugs once a month.

And the bi-monthly training trip has become a pleasure that several people are looking forward to.

After getting acquainted with Chen Xu, he is no longer afraid of him, and everyone finds that he is actually a cold-hearted person, who pays great attention to the rules, as long as you abide by the rules, it is not difficult to get along with him.

A few days ago, it was Shen Yun's turn to try the medicine again, and he still suffered some internal injuries as last time, but probably due to the fact that the True Yuan Power was more sufficient, the injuries this time were very slight, and even his cultivation did not decline.

Today, it's the day to go out to collect medicine for training, October, it is the early winter season, and the weather is not too cold.

In the courtyard of the Rejuvenation Pavilion, the fog is filled, and the morning sun is not visible.

The four boys gathered under the old locust tree, talking in a whisper, and the tools for travel around them had already been prepared.

Not long after, I saw Chen Xu appear in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, expressionless, strangely, empty-handed.

"In the future, I will no longer participate in the field to collect medicine. Chen Xu looked around and stretched out two fingers, "The time is controlled at twenty days, and each person's task is ten catties of medicinal materials, and they must return within the specified time." ”

The medicine boys looked surprised, and hurriedly responded.

Seeing that they were so happy, Chen Xu couldn't help but snort coldly, and added: "Although there are no fierce beasts on the mountain, there are still a lot of snakes and insects, pay attention to your safety on the road, and try not to scatter your actions." ”

The four of them responded respectfully, but the joy in their eyes could not be hidden.

Chen Xu didn't have the same knowledge as them, and turned around and left.

Everyone had to get out of the cage, squeezing their eyebrows and slowly walking towards the back mountain, and before they went far, they cheered and cheered, giggling and playing all the way, leaving the task of collecting medicine behind.

In less than half an hour, approaching an uphill slope, the slightly chubby Luo Yuan shouted to rest and beckoned everyone to go to the mountain stream in front of him to catch fish.

After a half-ring break, the four of them set off again.

After less than half an hour, he saw a few chestnut trees, so he stopped to pick chestnuts.

The ox was very nimble, and after a few strokes, he climbed up to the largest one, and struck the chestnuts with his stick.

A few people smashed open the chestnuts under the thigh-thick chestnut tree and tasted the fresh flesh.

Shen Yun looked up at the sun that was almost noon, and sighed in his heart, such a toss, except for picking some wild fruits, there were no medicinal herbs at all.

With a roll of his eyes, he glanced at the three people who were squatting on the ground, and suddenly stood up.

Seeing that everyone had seen it, he frowned and sighed: "Everyone, stop and go like this, twenty days, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task." ”

"If you want to go, go first, we don't have as much strength as you. Luo Yuan immediately replied with a strange yin and yang attitude. He shouted to stop the two times just now, obviously feeling that Shen Yun was targeting him.

In addition, I don't know if Chen Xu forgot it, or if he had other intentions, he didn't designate anyone to be the captain when he went out this time, so Luo Yuan felt that he had found an opportunity and took the opportunity to tease him.

"It's okay, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I'm used to running around, so I still set off first and strive to collect enough medicinal herbs as soon as possible. Shen Yun was expressionless, nodded slightly, but in fact, his heart was happy.

After coming out, he was thinking about how to break away from the group and go on his own.

In this way, he could cultivate every night, and in addition, he also very much wanted to go to the Old Demon Ridge to see if the aura there was as abundant as he guessed.

Luo Yuan was stunned when he heard this, he just said this casually just now, how could he have thought that Shen Yun really wanted to go on the road alone?

"Brother Shen, do you really want to go first?" Niu Jinjin had just peeled a chestnut and stopped eating it, so he hurriedly stood up and persuaded, "Doctor Chen told us not to disperse as much as possible." ”

"Brother Shen, let's go together, like this...... Lively. Guan Hu stood up and said dryly.

"Dr. Chen didn't say that we were not allowed to separate, not to mention, sooner or later, we would have to go out to collect medicine alone. Shen Yun smiled and shook his head, but his eyes looked at the endless mountains in the north, "I still hope to complete the task sooner." ”

"You don't want to finish the task early and go back, right?" Luo Yuan rolled his eyes, jumped up and screamed.

"Dr. Chen gave twenty days, of course twenty days to play. Shen Yun turned around, his eyes swept over the faces of the suspicious three, and said with a smile, "I'll go ahead, pick a little more and come back, and I'll give it to you at the right time." ”

In order to be able to go on the road alone, I had to do everything I could.

The three of them glanced at each other, and the words were all on this, what else was there to say.

Seeing that there was no one to object, Shen Yun looked up at the chestnuts on the tree and said with a smile: "At noon on the twentieth day, we will meet around here, how about it?"

Everyone looked different, and nodded helplessly.

Shen Yun achieved his goal, afraid of long nights and dreams, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said goodbye to the three of them, put on his luggage and medicine basket, and soon disappeared into the dense woods.

The wind rises, and the yellow dead leaves fly all over the sky.

......

In order to prevent being caught up by them, Shen Yun never stopped this day, and walked through the mountains and wilderness all the way.

I didn't eat lunch at all, and I hurried away.

On the bare hillside, the setting sun dragged Shen Yun's lonely figure for a long time.

Only then did I realize that I was going to spend the night alone tonight.

Although I used to sleep alone, it was the first time to sleep alone in the wilderness, and when I thought of the cold night, there was darkness all around, and there was a lonely figure around the campfire, and my heart suddenly felt a little hairy.

"If only I could find a cave to live in. Shen Yun muttered to himself, raising his eyes and looking around.

The hills in this area are not densely wooded, most of them are low shrubs, sparsely dotted with miscellaneous trees.

After searching for a long time, he stood on a north-facing hillside and sighed softly.

The only thing I found was a stinky and small pheasant hole, and there was no way to live in it. After looking at the open area, he put down his medicine basket and baggage, and went to the woodland to look for dead branches and prepare for a fire.

Take out the medicine shovel, dig a pit in the ground with great effort, and in a moment, a simple earthen stove is formed.

After piling up dead branches and leaves and lighting a bonfire, it is only to find that there is no water nearby.

"Forget it, there's still something to drink in the water bag. Shen Yun shook his head, he wanted to boil mountain eggs to eat, but he had to give up.

Tonight the moonlight is not visible, and the stars are dim.

Sitting upwind, I gnawed a few pieces of dry bread indiscriminately, looking at the dark wilderness, and a sense of loneliness hit me.

Shen Yun muttered a few times, came to a place not far from the bonfire, spread the oilcloth on the grass, and sat cross-legged.

After the second floor, his senses are much sharper, and occasionally someone looks at him from behind, and he can also feel it.

It's not hard to imagine that after reaching the third layer, there must be other wonderful uses.

Thinking of the abundant heaven and earth aura in the wilderness, Shen Yun felt a burst of excitement in his heart, although the bottleneck of the second layer was obviously much more difficult than the bottleneck of the first layer, but this time there were twenty days, and the possibility of breaking through was still very high.

In the dark jungle, there seemed to be a pair of dark green eyes, staring at him.

"How can there be a martial arts master who is afraid of the dark. He muttered, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing and start to work his mind.

After the nine Sundays were completed, Shen Yun slowly opened his eyes, and his face was neither sad nor joyful. Although there is no sign of a breakthrough, the sense of bottleneck is much clearer.

It was dark all around, and it was still a moment before dawn.

I found some dead branches and re-lit the bonfire, and the light of the fire lit up, and my face suddenly warmed up.

His gaze turned to the north, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he muttered in his mouth: "You can't really meet a monster in the Old Demon Ridge, right?"
