Chapter 17: Broken

In the early morning, the mist shrouded the mountains and forests like a light veil. Occasionally, a few rays of golden light penetrate in, making it all quiet and elegant, like a fairyland.

As the old saying goes, there are clouds, flowers in the fog, and the moon in the water. Being in such an environment can be refreshing. From time to time, a slightly chilling mist pounced on Jiu Yong's haggard face like a naughty child, waking him up from his meditation.

Touching his wet cheeks, Jiu Yong's expression was in a trance, and his memory was fragmented, so that he couldn't remember what had happened before.

I don't know why he is at the lake at this moment, and the aura in his body is also vibrant, so he carefully examined his body and found that there were no injuries!

Why did he wake up from meditation? How long had it been? The only thing he could remember was that he finally couldn't bear the pressure and cried out in repentance. What happened after that, he couldn't remember at all.

Glancing at the hut, he saw that the door was closed. The steamed buns are gone! Could it be that the old man just took the steamed buns and said goodbye?

Eager to stand up and find the old man and steamed buns, he just wanted to get up, but his legs felt numb. Under the unstable center of gravity, the whole body was about to fall out.

How long has he been meditating?!! so long that his legs are numb and he can't stand up!

At this time, a warm big hand came from behind him, pressing his shoulder, stabilizing his body so that he would not fall. Looking back, he found that the old man was actually behind him, and it was not the first time he had seen the old man's elusive figure, and he didn't know if he had always been there, or if he had just appeared.

"Tell me what's going on?"

Jiu Yong couldn't help but grab the old man's hands, he was eager to know what happened when his memory was broken, but in exchange for the old man looking at him with a complicated expression, he wanted to stop talking.

"Since I don't remember, don't worry about this anymore, just get through it. ”

The old man's eyes flickered, preventing Jiu Yong from preparing to get to the bottom of the matter and continue to ask, not wanting to dwell too much on this matter.

"You don't say try it today!"

Jiu Yong played sideways and stared at the old man. What he hates the most is that the person in the know knows that others are eager to know the truth of the matter, but he still puts on a face there I know, I know everything, but I don't tell you, what kind of expression can you take me?

Then waiting for the other party to compromise, he put on an unfathomable expression, pulled something unwarranted before the time came, and said: I don't tell you for your own good, and I will naturally tell you when I should know.

As a party, why don't you let him know?

"If you don't want to say it, you can pretend you don't know, so that I can comfort myself. But what do I see in my eyes now? What I see is a bad old man standing in front of me, with a look of anger and an undisguised smug expression, as if he was silently telling me: I know what is happening! But I won't say it, you beg me? I won't tell you! I'm angry with you, I'm angry with you! If you have the ability to beat me, you have the ability to beat me?!"

After Jiu Yong finished speaking, he bent down and picked up on the ground, and finally picked up a relatively sharp stone, and put it on his neck after a gesture, regardless of whether he could kill himself or not, anyway, he was determined to force him to die.

As he said, you don't want to say that you can completely assume that you don't know, but putting on an expression that I know but just don't say it, it's boring and annoying.

Isn't it interesting?

Seeing Jiu Yong holding a stone piece around his neck, with a serious look, the old man was angry and funny, he was all a person in the foundation period, and he could still let the stone die?

It turned out that after Jiu Yong said those words, he had lost consciousness, like a walking corpse, without a mind and no soul, and crawled forward mechanically with only the remaining willpower in his mind. This is the same as some people who have not completely dissipated their bodily functions after death, and remain in the body, and can still react after being stimulated by the outside world.

But over time, this energy will slowly disappear and cease to exist.

At first, the old man didn't notice this abnormal situation, or the steamed bun bit Jiu Yong's trouser leg with all his strength to prevent him from continuing, but was silently dragged away by Jiu Yong, which attracted the old man's attention.

The old man was also restrained after discovering it, and even he had never encountered such a situation. Jiu Yong's whole person was like an empty shell, he lost his mind and soul, and even his vitality began to gradually dissipate little by little, only a willpower was still supporting him to continue to move forward. This made the old man not dare to act rashly for a while, so he could only stay by Jiuyong's side all the time, hoping for a turnaround.

Fortunately, after crawling for a long time, Jiu Yong didn't know whether he couldn't hold on anymore, or if he felt that it was enough, so he subconsciously chose to sit cross-legged on the spot, and began to meditate until Jiu Yong woke up just now.

After listening to what the old man said, Jiuyong himself didn't know what to say. All this is so unbelievable that even as a party, he doesn't want to believe what happened. It's like drinking a broken piece, playing drunk and holding on to a telephone pole and not leaving, and the next day being told by your partner about your ugliness last night, and you can't remember it, so you don't admit it.

"Do you know how long it took you to wake up after meditating this time?"

"How long?!"

As soon as this topic was raised, Jiu Yong's whole heart was raised in his throat, and he stared at the old man nervously, not that he was afraid that the old man would blame him, his first reaction was how much time he wasted!

"Ten days! Ten whole days! Do you know how the old man and the steamed buns came over in the past ten days? The old man and the steamed buns have been by your side every step of the way, for fear that something will happen to you! Look at how the steamed buns have lost weight? In the past ten days, they have not eaten or drunk, and have been by your side, waiting for you to wake up. ”

"Don't be so reckless in the future!"

The more the old man thought about this, the more angry he became, this kid was reckless, and he was scared a lot at the time, and he was still scared, so he grabbed the steamed bun and threw it at Jiuyong. I was afraid that Jiu Yong would do such a reckless thing again, so I gave up after telling him.

"Hehe, it's good to carry it, it's good to carry it. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Jiu Yong also knew that the other party cared about him and was good for him, and he didn't care why the first sentence was so similar to the advertising slogan of a game in that world. just smiled awkwardly, casually echoed two perfunctory sentences, then hugged the steamed bun distressedly and stuffed a pill for it.

Looking at the thin appearance of the steamed bun, Jiu Yong's heart was full of deep guilt. Blame yourself! Blame yourself for caring too much about your own affairs, ignoring the steamed buns from beginning to end, if it weren't for the old man throwing the steamed buns to him, he wouldn't have noticed the abnormality of the steamed buns.

"I'm sorry!"

Jiu Yong gently rubbed the head of the steamed bun, and the steamed bun swallowed the pill that Jiu Yong fed it and fell asleep, which made Jiu Yong suddenly nervous, and looked up at the old man in a panic.

"Don't worry about it, it's tired of steamed buns. It's the same as you, you usually know that you eat, sleep, sleep, eat, don't exercise much, stay with you without sleeping, you're already tired, just take a break. ”

It's rare that the old man didn't let him continue cultivating today, and he was indeed too tired, both nervously and physically. Although meditation can help him recover, it is better to let some mental fatigue naturally relax.

It's the same as the strings, sometimes you have to tune it, otherwise it will be too tight, and it will only break a truth.

The old man deliberately let him take a break, naturally he wouldn't let him cultivate, and he didn't talk about cultivation, so he was in a good mood and came out with some wine and food, and drank with Jiuyong.

Drinking naturally has a story to hear, and after a while, the old man opened the conversation box and told him like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Listening to the old man tell some strange stories, and some of the dangers he had experienced when he was out wandering, it also made Jiu Yong listen to it with relish, and he couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
