Chapter Twenty-Four: Interception and Killing on the Road

In the next half a month, Cheng Kun honestly lay on the bed to recuperate, and he couldn't be honest if he wanted to, with his current state, it was difficult to go to the toilet.

The master didn't allow him to practice, and this guy had nothing to do every day, and he had lice on his idle body.

After lying down for three days, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he begged Fan Gang to go to Jishitang to find Mr. Kong and get him a few medical books, he just took advantage of the time to study in the past few days.

As a result, when Fan Gang came back, he also brought Mr. Kong over. The old gentleman only knew at this time that Cheng Kun had practiced himself to bed, and he was very angry at him for not caring for his body for a while.

Cheng Kun couldn't help it, so he lowered his head and was reprimanded. The reason why he was injured and didn't tell the old gentleman was that he was afraid that such a situation would occur, but he still couldn't hide when he arrived. He could only take advantage of the old gentleman's inattention and glared at Fan Gang fiercely with his eyes.

This "traitor", he had clearly told him not to say anything other than borrowing books, and the result was.

Fan Gang was also a little aggrieved by Cheng Kun's glare, and he didn't want to.

It's just that the old man has lived for such an old age, and he has walked more bridges than the two of them combined, and he can see through this little trick at a glance. Just asked a few more questions, Fan Gang was dumbfounded and speechless, so he had to tell the truth.

After the old gentleman carefully checked it again, his face looked a little better, and left him some medicine to nourish the meridians, as well as two copies of "Shennong's Materia Medica" and "The Yellow Emperor's Eighty-one Difficult Scriptures" and left, and when he left, he also told him to go to the hospital more after his injuries were healed.

Cheng Kun agreed one by one, speaking of which, although the old gentleman deliberately accepted him as an apprentice for the sake of tranquility, but he was injured twice, the old gentleman did his best, he could feel that the old gentleman was indeed sincere, and his heart was also very moved.

He made up his mind that he must find a way to cure the illness on Youran's body, and he knew that this was the biggest concern in the old man's heart.

Half a month later, Cheng Kun finally came back to life, and he couldn't wait to get out of bed and play a set of Baji boxing in the courtyard. Fortunately, although the muscles of the body have become a little stiff because of lying down for too long, this is not a big problem as long as you move more.

It's the end of December, and in a few days, it's the New Year. It has been more than a month since Cheng Kun went out this time, and this is the first time he has been away from home for so long, and his heart has begun to miss his family.

After coming to this world for so long, if there is one thing that he is most grateful to God for, it is to have his own parents.

In his previous life, Cheng Kun was just an orphan, and his grandfather who adopted him also died when he grew up, family affection has always been a luxury for him, and he has never enjoyed the care of father's love and mother's love.

So in this life, he cherishes everything very much, and he pretends to be stupid from time to time, just to make his mother smile.

In the past ten years, every New Year has been spent with his family, and every time his mother has fried fragrant meatballs, he will first serve a bowl of meatballs for him, which is also the most memorable taste in his memory.

The more Cheng Kun thought about it, the more he felt like an arrow, he was ready to say hello to Uncle Fan and the two masters, and set off for home today!

Listening to Cheng Kun's words, Fan Yue was not surprised, even if Cheng Kun didn't mention it, he would have to ask. He didn't object, took out the New Year's goods that he had prepared early and handed them to Cheng Kun to take home.

After Cheng Kun thanked him, he took his things and went to Jishitang first, and after saying goodbye to Mr. Kong and Youran, he came to the armory shop in the west of the city.

Tang Zhong saw Cheng Kun who entered the door carrying a package for going out, guessing that he was going home, and he also took out a package from the house that had been sorted out a long time ago: "Stinky boy, I miss home, it just so happens that the master is tired of staying in this city, so I will go to your house this time,"

Cheng Kun didn't expect that the master could see his intention at a glance, and he was also ready to return to Chengjia Village with him.

Of course, he knew that Tang Zhong didn't want to go to his house because he was tired of staying in Xinfeng City, but he was worried that he would go home alone and have some accidents on the way.

Cheng Kun was grateful, but a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, it just so happens that master, you can try my mother's handiwork, and I will definitely not let you down." ”

Both of them are vigorous and resolute people, and after deciding, they set off immediately, and now the sun is just right outside, and it is a good weather for the road.

After locking the door of the store, the two of them left the city.

In the half month that Cheng Kun was recuperating from his injury, two more heavy snowfalls fell one after another. It was okay for someone to clean up the city, but as soon as I got out of the city, the snow on the ground was so thick that it didn't reach the knees of the exit, and it was very difficult to walk.

From time to time, the cold north wind rolls up fine snow and pats it on the face, which feels like a knife cut, and after a long time, it makes people feel that the faces on both sides are not their own. Cheng Kun was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, but he still felt that the heat on his body was constantly draining.

In the face of the great power of nature, Cheng Kun had no good way but to speed up, and when he arrived at home, he didn't have to endure the biting cold.

Suddenly, Cheng Kun's heart moved, and he remembered the wisp of true qi in the dantian. With the idea of trying it out, he urged the true qi to flow through his body.

This wisp of true qi is very obedient, and it swims like a little snake along Cheng Kun's mind.

Soon, Cheng Kun felt a warmth in his body, driving away the cold. He tried to transport this wisp of true qi to the Yongquan point of his feet, and after Cheng Kun's feet were slightly swollen, he felt that his whole body was much lighter, and his steps were more powerful. Is this the principle of light work, it is really magical!

Cheng Kunle is happy, this true qi is like a panacea, it is easy to use it anywhere.

Tang Zhong on the side didn't notice Cheng Kun's small movements at all, although Cheng Kun had already built a foundation, but for beginners, if they want to master the true qi and even develop its various wonderful uses, then there is still something to learn.

But Cheng Kun felt that the control of True Qi was like a finger, without the slightest obscurity, as if he had been practicing for many years. He didn't know what the others were like, and he just thought it was as it should be.

It can only be said that in addition to allowing him to build a foundation smoothly, Cheng Kun's "Hu Lai" last time also brought other benefits, waiting for him to slowly discover in the future.

......

Just when the two of them were hurrying away, Tang Zhong smelled a faint smell of blood from the wind because of his profound cultivation and keen facial features, he immediately became alert, stopped, and signaled Cheng Kun to be careful.

Cheng Kun didn't expect that there would be an accident, and he also raised his vigilance, and as soon as he concentrated his mind, he quickly discovered the smell of blood in the air.

The two of them were bold, when they encountered this kind of thing, instead of thinking about avoiding it, they came up, Tang Zhong was confident that even if there was any danger, it would be enough to protect Cheng Kun.

The two chased in the direction from which the smell came from, and finally discovered the source of the smell.

In the white snow, there was a person lying down, and a large amount of red blood flowed from under him, which looked extremely dazzling against the background of the environment.

Cheng Kun came closer to observe, this is a man in his thirties, wearing a very concealed white cotton coat, his body has long been stiff, it seems that he has been dead for a long time, the fatal wound is in the chest, the murderer pierced his heart with a sharp blade and caused him to die. As for what kind of blade it was, he could only tell that it should be a knife, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The skin on the deceased's face was very rough, it didn't look like a nobleman, and there were signs that the clothes had been turned over, Cheng Kun carefully checked it, and there was no property left. There was also a thick layer of calluses on the inside of his palm, which Cheng Kun recognized at a glance, which was the result of holding the knife for many years.

Cheng Kun turned his head to look at his master, wondering what he had discovered differently. turned out to see a cloudy, murderous face.

He had never seen his master's face so terrifying, and he could see that Tang Zhong was really killing at this time, and the strong murderous aura made his hairs explode.

Seeing this, Tang Zhong realized that he was a little out of control, so he reined in his killing intentions. He said to Cheng Kun: "I don't know this person, but the set of clothes he wears is exclusive to the Dingshan Army Scout Camp, and it is difficult to see it in the outside world." ”

Only then did Cheng Kun know why the master was so angry, and he knew that although Tang Zhong had left the Dingshan Army for many years, he had always regarded himself as a person from the Dingshan Army in his heart, and Cheng Kun, who had been a soldier, could not understand this kind of mood anymore.

It's no wonder that Tang Zhong is out of control, if Cheng Kun himself sees his comrades dying in an unknown way, and the corpses are thrown into the wild at will, he will also blow it up!

Tang Zhong squatted down, brushed open the wound on the deceased's chest, and carefully observed the shape of the wound. After a long time, he stood up, his gaze was even colder, like a blade: "It's a Hun cub!"

Cheng Kun asked suspiciously: "The murderer is a Huns, where did the master know?"

"The Huns lived outside the fortress, lacked iron tools, and their smelting skills were very low, so many still use bronze swords to this day. Because the bronze is hard and brittle, for a long time, their martial arts have not changed, and the sword movement makes the sword mainly stabbing and cutting. Although this murderer deliberately hid his heels when he shot, the smell of the Gale Secret Sword in this sword was still too strong. ”

Tang Zhong said as he spoke, stopped, and his expression became a little puzzled. He originally thought that this Hun was just a fish that slipped through the net at the border pass, and was chased and killed by the Dingshan army. But as he became more and more informed, the initial inferences became difficult to hold.

The Gale Secret Sword is one of the Xiongnu military weapons, and it is very powerful, which not everyone can learn.

He began to feel that things were not simple, and if he was the only one at this time, he would definitely find the murderer and avenge his comrades. But now that the apprentice is still around, he must think about Cheng Kun's safety.

Because the Sageyama scout had been dead for so long, the traces left by the murderer were covered by the wind-blown snow, so he could not determine how many people there were. It's fine if it's just one person, but if a group of Huns sneaks into the pass, it will be a big problem.

Thinking about this, he could no longer stand. In such a flat and open plain, once a cavalry appeared, even if it was only a small force, it would be a nightmare.

He beckoned Cheng Kun, and the two of them buried the dead sergeant together, and in order to make it easier to find it later, they also made a hidden mark on a big tree not far away. Because the military badge on this person's body was taken away by the murderer, Tang Zhong couldn't confirm his name, so he had to give up erecting a monument for him.

After doing all this, the two quickly turned around and rushed towards Chengjia Village, their steps a few times faster than before, as if there was a fierce beast chasing behind them.
