Chapter 4 Sniper
Time flies, and a year and a half have passed in an instant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the eight-year-old Xiaojiu grows more robust and looks like a teenager about ten years old. At this time, he was walking in front of the door of the thatched hut, and there were some wooden sticks of different thicknesses of one and a half feet long piled up in front of him, and one of the small wooden sticks stood on the ground, only to see Nineteen take a deep breath and wave his right palm to chop at the wooden stick standing on the ground. There was a slight sound of breaking wind in the air, and when the right palm was only about a foot away from the wooden stick, the wooden stick suddenly "horned" and split in half. Nineteen jumped up excitedly and cheered, "It's successful, it's successful, my splitting palm is successful!" shouted as he ran towards the thatched hut where Shinanzi lived.
Nineteen's Qi Refining has now made great progress. As early as a year ago, Nineteen had already reached the level of meridian access. According to Taoism, the so-called Tongjing is the eight meridians that can penetrate the vitality of heaven and earth through the body, and through the circulation of vitality in the body, the purpose of warming the meridians, accumulating energy, and transforming the physique can be achieved. Generally speaking, there are three grades of meridian passage, the lowest grade is the meridian circulation between the heart and lungs, and regular cultivation can achieve the purpose of longevity and health. The middle level is centered on the dantian, realizing the circulation between the five organs, if it can be practiced and applied to martial arts, it can achieve a top martial arts master. Ordinary martial arts students in the world take this as the ultimate goal they pursue. The highest grade is the whole body meridian circulation, starting from the heel Yongquan acupoint, until the top of the head Baihui acupoint, the vitality is everywhere, the body is everywhere to breathe, practice to the extreme, you can achieve the unity of heaven and man, can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth for your own use. What's more, if you can mobilize the light of the sun and the moon and the power of the stars, that is the supreme supernatural power. For thousands of years, there have been few people. The Nineteen Cultivation Sutras are of the highest grade, of course, because he was born with a chaotic body and has a unique advantage, which is incomparable to those ordinary people.
A month ago, the Nineteenth broke through the level of the meridians and entered the stage of building the foundation of the Yuan Qi as the Taoists. This stage is also divided into three levels, namely, external release, gangbody, and mixed element. Nineteen is now at the outward level. The so-called external release means that on the basis of the meridians, the internal qi of cultivation can be applied to the outside of the body, and if it can be realized, it can be said that the internal strength has been initially achieved. The Nineteen Splitting Palm is one of the most basic methods for cultivating the release of internal qi.
At the same time as the nineteenth practice of qi has been successful, the training of the body has already achieved great success. On the eve of the nineteen qi refining was about to break through the meridian level, the nineteen successfully completed the task of refining the body. In the past two years, Shinanzi has carried out 7749 times of medicinal liquid bubbles on the 19th, and with such a high-intensity washing of the menstrual marrow, even Shinanzi can't say what level the current 19th has reached. Of course, while the great achievements have been made in washing the scriptures and cutting the marrow, the mountaineering kung fu of the Nineteenth has also made amazing progress. Now Nineteen can carry two five-foot square buckets filled with water, walk like flying, and can run a round trip from the grass hut to Furong Peak in two hours. The last time it filled the Divine Pool, Nineteen took only three days. The double harvest of practicing qi and body training made Nineteen's body so good that it couldn't be better, and as for how good it was, Nineteen couldn't say clearly.
The current Shinanzi can no longer hide his love for Nineteen, so when Nineteen ran over, his eyes were no longer as sharp and serious as before, but full of kindness and love.
Today's weather is excellent, with a warm spring day, birds singing and flowers, a gentle breeze and pine waves. Shi Nanzi sat on the wooden chair in front of the door, enjoying this kind of indifference very much, for him who is already old and has been enlightened for many years, he has already reached the realm of forgetting things and me, and the ancient well is not wavering, and the hustle and bustle of the world has long been away from him.
"Master, Master", the eight-year-old boy ran over, and when he saw Shinanzi sitting on a wooden chair to recuperate, he quickly stopped and stood aside obediently, with a pair of beautiful eyes shining and sparkling, and his dark pupils were bottomless.
Shinanzi said: "What's the matter again?"
Nineteen said excitedly: "I succeeded, my hollow splitting palm can already control the qi to split the wooden stick." ”
Shi Nanzi asked, "When splitting, how far is the palm of the hand from the wooden stick?"
Nineteen tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "About a foot." ”
Shinan Zi said: "Sure enough, there is a small success, but it is still far from the big success of the splitting palm." The real hollow splitting palm can split the wooden stick ten zhang away, so what you have practiced now is not a real splitting hollow palm, and it can barely be called a splitting wood palm. ”
Nineteen's eyes dimmed with excitement, and he asked in frustration, "How long do I have to practice to reach Dacheng?"
Shi Nanzi didn't answer Nineteen's question, his eyes looked into the distance, and he said lightly: "You can stop practicing for a while today, we have guests in a while." ”
"What kind of guests?" asked Nineteen in amazement, and in the depths of the mountain, there were hardly any guests except the fisherman who sent yellow croaker and the Orion Niu Er, who often sent roe meat. Therefore, as soon as he heard that there were guests, Nineteen became excited again.
Shi Nanzi suddenly straightened up, stood up, and shouted into the distance: "Since the guests are here, why do you want to hide? ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a figure flash from between the treetops in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, the figure quickly enlarged, and when I looked at it again, the guest had already arrived in front of me.
The guest was an old man, with a protruding forehead, a high nose, a wide mouth, and deep-set eye sockets. The red-black face was full of wrinkles, and it was impossible to tell how old he was, dressed in a black cloth robe, hunched over, and holding a brown dove-headed cane. Strangely, there was a small golden monkey squatting on his shoulder. The old man's gaze was very sharp, but his expression was slightly excited, and he bowed his hand to Shinan Zi and said, "Lord Yiyi, don't come unharmed." ”
When Shi Nanzi saw the old man, his face was slightly surprised, but he quickly returned to calm and calm, and said lightly: "It turned out that the high priest of the barbarian clan came, and he was not welcomed, forgive the sin!"
Just as the two old men were greeting, the golden little monkey on the guest's shoulder became excited, staring at Nineteen "squeaking" and screaming, and Nineteen was already stunned, stunned for a moment before reacting, and shouted loudly: "Little Jin!" Before the shout fell, the little monkey had already "swished" and threw himself into Nineteen's arms.
The two old men looked at Nineteen together at this time, Shi Nanzi's face suddenly changed, and the ape-faced old man looked stunned, and his eyes were even more fierce.
Nineteen put his arms around the little monkey and couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Jin, why did you come here?" Xiao Jin pointed to the old man with the ape face and squeaked. Nineteen is extremely familiar with Xiaojin's monkey language, and after a little thought, he already understands its meaning. It turned out that Xiao Jin was brought out of the big forest by the ape-faced old man, and he turned out to be the owner who had raised Xiao Jin before.
The ape-faced old man, who was called the high priest by Shinanzi, was relieved to see that the nineteen pairs of little monkeys were very affectionate and had no malice at all, and it was obvious that the two were old acquaintances. Ling's eyes finally softened a little, and he said to Shi Nanzi again: "The old man is not a high priest for a long time, he has been away from the barbarians for more than 20 years, and he has been traveling in the Chu country, raising monkeys for a living, and the people of the Chu country call the old man a sniper. ”
Shi Nanzi said: "The old man is not the Xiong Yiyu you knew before, because I live in seclusion in Shinan Mountain, and the world calls me Shinanzi." The reunion of old friends can be described as the joy of life, why not go into the room and talk in detail?"
"Good. The old man, who called himself a sniper, replied very cheerfully.
The two pushed the door into the room, the guests and hosts sat down, and Shi Nanzi ordered Nineteen to serve tea, and Nineteen quickly agreed, leading the little monkey to serve tea.
Shi Nanzi said: "The high priest has great powers and is very important in the barbarians, why did he resign from the position of priest?"
The sniper looked at Shi Nanzi with blazing eyes, and replied: "Forty years ago, you secretly released hundreds of Chu prisoners, and fled from the barbarians, and you disappeared, and the clansmen were angry with me, and you have been moved to the left as an ordinary priest. More than 20 years ago, when the Totem Pavilion was opened, I presided over it as an ordinary priest, but unexpectedly, the totem failed, the inheritance disappeared, and the clan was terrified, and suspected that I had blasphemy. After that, the ape god suddenly dreamed of me, telling me that the totemic spirit of this generation had been reborn and was born as a golden monkey. In order to reawaken the power of totem inheritance, it is necessary to use Qiankun ancient jade to integrate into the body of the ape god statue in order to recreate the totem and restart the inheritance. For this reason, I had to resign from the position of priest, bear the trust of my clan, and look for Qiankun jade everywhere. Later, I finally found out that Lord Yiyu originally had a Qiankun jade. ”
Shi Nanzi said: "How do you know that I have Qiankun Jade?"
The sniper man sighed: "The old man really didn't know at that time, otherwise why would he have been searching for twenty years? I even went to the Chu Palace at night to go to the Feng Pavilion to look for it, but I still found nothing. It wasn't until a few years ago that I met Mr. Xu Wugui, the younger brother of Ling, in the Great Liang of Weidu, that I knew that Mr. Geng Sangchu, the master of Ling, had brought back a piece of Qiankun jade from the Kunlun Xuanjing and presented it to you before the immortal died. Mr. No Ghost also told me in detail about your hermitage, so you can find it. Although there is abruptness, but there is a hidden situation, and you and I are old friends, presumably Mr. will be able to accomplish it. After hearing this, Shinanzi couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Xu Wugui is a famous man in the Central Plains, a ghost who counts as a heavenly opportunity, and is a guest in the world, coupled with his high morality and indifference to fame and fortune, he is admired by the four seas. How could such a man with a gap in his chest be so reckless? Presumably, there must be another reason for this, and he should have sought the opportunity to inquire about this matter in detail. As for the sniper's search for Qiankun Jade, it made Shi Nanzi hesitate in his heart. Qiankun Jade had already melted into Nineteen's body eight years ago, and even if he wanted to give it, he couldn't take it out. Of course, if you just want to regain the Qiankun Jade, it is not impossible, but it will take time. Presumably, the sniper will never give up, this sniper is absolutely unusual, formerly known as Shen Gongdan, is the first warrior of the barbarians, extraordinary powers, and the people of the rivers and lakes are called divine apes. Forty years ago, Shinanzi went deep into the barbarian tribe for some reason, met him, and fought by chance, and Shen Gongdan was slightly inferior. After that, Shen Gongdan and Shinanzi sympathized with each other and invited Shinanzi to the barbarians as a guest. coincided with the battle between Chu and Man, and Shi Nanzi happened to encounter hundreds of captured Chu soldiers, so he broke into the military camp at night and released the Chu prisoners. In order not to embarrass Shen Gongdan, he left quietly. And Shen Gongdan always thought that Shinan Zi was a spy sent by the Chu State, and secretly hated that he had no eyes, and with such a festival, it seemed that he was bound to win Qiankun Yu. Since I found it today, I'm afraid things won't be easy. If the sniper is alone, he may be able to deal with it, but there is an entire barbarian clan behind the sniper! Once he turns his face, the peaceful seclusion will be completely over. Shinanzi thought about it repeatedly, but couldn't decide for a while. The sniper sat silently on the side, and did not say anything to urge.
At this time, Nineteen walked in happily with a tea tray and a little monkey, and respectfully offered each the two old men a cup of hot tea. Looking at Nineteen, and suddenly thinking that his longevity was short, Shi Nanzi's mind flashed, and he had a very strange idea, and he instantly had a plan in his heart. So, he smiled slightly and said to the sniper: "Qiankun jade is rare in the world, how can it be easily given away?"
The sniper's expression froze slightly, and then he said respectfully: "Mr. Gaoyi, the world knows it, and he has no contempt for my barbarians. Besides, there was a feeling of secretly releasing Chu prisoners before, and then there was a regret that the old man lost his position, so Mr. must give an explanation to the deceased, right?"
Shi Nanzi said: "The priest's words are wrong. In the former, the old man released the Chu prisoners, saved hundreds of lives, and resolved the tyranny of Qiang Chu, not only in favor of Chu? It is also kind to the barbarians. The latter, the priest said that he lost the position of the priest because of the matter of the Chu prisoner, this kind of statement should not be believed, the matter of the Chu prisoner was done by the old man, what does it have to do with the king? Even if you and I have a good relationship, the old man is a dispensable person to the barbarians, and the priest is a person who is a man of his word, how can the barbarians be angry with the pillars of the country because of useless people? What the priest said is not reasonable, and he needs to choose another word!
After hearing this, the sniper's face changed slightly, and his voice said with a little excitement: "Sir is unfair, the dispute between the barbarians and Chu has reached a hundred years, Chu is strong and weak, and the barbarians will always be the one to be slaughtered." Ten years ago, the state of Chu forcibly seized the capital of the barbarians, Yongcheng, a century-old ancient capital, burned to the ground, and the barbarians could only retreat to the land of Bashan and Qianshui to be in the company of savages. How can the gentleman guarantee that the released Chu prisoners will not become the enemies of the slaughtering barbarians again? The barbarians are looking for Qiankun Jade only to have the power to protect themselves by restoring the totem inheritance, which is also forced by Qiang Chu. As for the reward, whatever the gentleman says that the barbarians can do, the whole clan will be used to satisfy the gentleman's request.
Shi Nanzi sighed: "The dispute between Chu and Barbarian is really wrong in Chu State. However, the old man is a wild man in the mountains, and he has nothing to do with military affairs, let alone ask questions. The old man can help with the matter of Qiankun Jade, but he needs to wait for some time. ”
Sniper said hurriedly: "I don't know how long it will take?"
Shi Nanzi said: "Ten years." ”
The sniper stood up suddenly, his eyes quickly became cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Is Mr. playing tricks on the old man? The old man is a barbarian rough man, he can't go around the corner, okay or not, please say it clearly." ”
Shi Nanzi said indifferently: "Since this is the case, the old man will say no." ”
The sniper man showed a fierce light, stared at Shi Nanzi tightly, and said coldly: "I heard that Mr. has great magical powers, and the internal strength of Taoism has been perfected, I don't know if the rumors are true or not?"
Shi Nanzi said: "You might as well try it." ”
The sniper's eyebrows were furrowed, he suddenly got up, waved his crutches and slashed towards Shinanzi, the air fluctuated violently, and there was a thunderous roar, this blow had the power of thunder. Nineteen and the little monkey on the side couldn't help but exclaim in surprise in the face of the sudden change.
Shi Nanzi was unmoved, the sleeves of his robe waved lightly, and a colorful light mask visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared in front of him. Just listen to the sound of "poof", and the crutches are like defeating the flocculent, hanging eerily in the air. The sniper shouted again, and his luck was exerted, but this time the crutches not only did not advance an inch, but swayed, and there was a great risk of rout. After a full pause of about three breaths, the sniper finally sighed, put away his crutches, beckoned to the little monkey, and arched his hand to Shinanzi, and walked away reflexively. Seeing that the sniper was about to leave the door, Shi Nanzi hurriedly shouted: "Slow!"
The sniper man paused, turned around, and looked at Shi Nanzi, his eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't know what Shi Nanzi meant. Shi Nanzi sneered and said: "The high priest is really good-tempered! If you don't agree with each other, you will be rude, and if you can't beat it, you will play tricks and leave, how can you be called a good man? And you are so impatient and reckless, how can you accomplish great things? If you return to the barbarian tribe like this, how can you explain to the people of the whole clan?"
Hearing Shinanzi's reprimanded words, the sniper man calmed down, obviously, the sniper had already heard it, and Shinan Zi's words were quite meaningful. The sniper was not angry but happy, and his face instantly became very respectful, and he actually bowed to Shi Nanzi and said respectfully: "Please give me advice." ”
Shi Nanzi said: "I don't know how many years are there until the next Totem Pavilion opens?"
Sniper said: "There are still seven years." ”
Shi Nanzi said: "Ten years and seven years, but the difference is only three years, why doesn't the high priest try to study shortening the period of ten years?"
Sniper Gongqi said: "Since Qiankun jade is in your hands, if you want to give it, you can give it immediately, if you don't want to give it, why should there be a ten-year period?"
Shi Nanzi sighed and pointed to the nineteenth: "This is my newly acquired apprentice Chu nineteen." That piece of Qiankun jade had melted into his body eight years earlier. ”
"What?" the sniper was shocked.
So, Shi Nanzi simply told the sniper prince how Shi Nanzi stopped crying when he was born because he couldn't stop crying, and how Shi Nanzi used his skills to melt Qiankun jade in Nineteen's body, so he stopped crying.
Nineteen was dumbfounded, unaware of what had happened to him. Mother never talked about it, not even Nineteen, who was already a registered disciple of Shinan Zi when he was born. Because he was too shocked by this matter in the nineteenth year, he didn't care about the fact that Shi Nanzi changed his name to Chu Nineteen.
The sniper man looked disappointed, and asked suspiciously: "Since the Qiankun jade has been melted into this child, how can we obtain the Qiankun jade? Is there a second piece of Qiankun jade?"
Shi Nanzi said: "Of course there is no second piece. If you want to get Qiankun Jade, you have to start with Chu Nineteen. This Chu Nineteen is not an ordinary teenager, but a chaotic body that has not been encountered in a thousand years. At the time of birth, because he had the knowledge of heaven and earth, he stirred the qi of heaven and earth and brought about the vision of heaven and earth. The reason why the old man used Qiankun Jade was to let Chu Shijiu comprehend the power of Qiankun as soon as possible so that he could awaken the chaotic instinct as soon as possible, and on the other hand, to seal his Heaven and Earth Essence with Qiankun Jade to prevent it from being impacted by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. When he becomes an adult, he will be able to withstand the impact of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and he will naturally transform into Qiankun Jade again. ”
The sniper asked, "But I don't know when I will be considered an adult?"
Shinan Zi said: "Ordinary people, the bones and meridians can only be formed at the age of twenty-five, and they have reached the peak state of life. However, Chu Nineteen was born with a different nature, and I have already taught him the method of chaotic body refining, as long as he cultivates to the level of mixed yuan, he can use the secret method to conjure up Qiankun jade. ”
"When you reach the Mixed Yuan level, I don't know how long you still need to cultivate?"
"Seven to ten years. ”
The sniper was silent. He had fully believed Shinanko's words. Shi Nanzi was far more powerful than he imagined, and his body protection was indestructible. Whether it is a sniper's soft request or a hard take, it has no effect on Shinanzi. Therefore, there is no need for Shinanzi to lie and deceive in this situation at all. At the same time, the sniper also knew that the Qiankun jade could indeed be transformed, and since it could be integrated into the human body, of course, it could also be re-transformed. Most of all, he remembered the golden monkey.
Jin is the totem spirit's carature, and the reason why it can be so certain is not only because Jin is the only monkey with golden hair that the barbarians have found so far, but also because Jin has the mark of the god of apes on his body. As far as he knew, Jin had never been close to anyone except for him, the ape god's designated breeder, and he didn't even live in groups with other monkeys, and was very arrogant and eccentric. But why do you love this boy named Chu 19? If Chu 19 is pregnant with Qiankun Jade, then everything will have a reasonable explanation, Xiao Jin is naturally close to Qiankun Jade because of his special bloodline, and it is not surprising that he is close to Chu 19. However, Xiao Jin has always been stored in the forest of the Chu Palace, how did he know Chu 19? Could it be that this Chu 19 is a member of the royal family?
Thinking of this, the sniper asked in a deep voice to Nineteen, "Little baby, where did you meet the golden monkey?"
Although Nineteen didn't like Sniper, Sniper was Xiaojin's master after all, so Nineteen still replied respectfully: "We met in the forest of Chu Palace, and we are good friends." ”
"Are you from the royal family of Chu Palace?" asked the sniper.
Nineteen replied without the slightest guard: "Yes, I am the nineteenth son of the king of Chu. ”
The sniper's face suddenly became very embarrassed, and letting the prince of the enemy country help the opponent seemed to be seeking skin with the tiger, and it seemed that there was little hope of obtaining Qiankun jade.
Shi Nanzi on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly, originally wanted to hide the identity of the prince of Nineteen Chu, and he vaguely predicted that Nineteen would need the help of barbarians in the future. But now it is clearly impossible to hide. Shi Nanzi started from knowing the sniper's intentions today, all the responses were carefully designed, and the sniper entered his own rhythm unexpectedly, although the exposure of the nineteen identity made things a small accident, but Shi Nanzi firmly believed that everything was still under his control.
So, Shi Nanzi said in a very sincere tone: "The high priest is worry-free, although Chu Nineteen is a prince, he has learned the Tao from the old man, and he will not be in the royal court for a long time, and his nature is benevolent, so it is extremely unlikely that he will be an enemy of the barbarians." Today, you have a fate to meet him, and it is also God's intention to resolve the crisis of the barbarians, so we might as well obey the destiny of heaven and do our best. ”
The sniper man groaned for a long time, sighed, and made a decision in his heart. To the city of Nanzi Road:
"Sir has a heart. If the little prince can help the barbarians, he is the benefactor of my barbarians, how can I care about his identity? As for the feud between the Chu barbarians and the barbarians, if they can be resolved because of this, why should my barbarians not do it?"
Shi Nanzi said: "There are many people in the barbarian tribe who are brave and ruthless, and they are narrow-minded, and not all of them are as wise as the high priest, and they may have to go to the barbarians in the future, once their identities are exposed, their safety is worrying." ”
Sniper said: "Mr. don't have to worry, just keep hiding the identity of the little prince." From today on, the old man will work with Mr. to help the little prince grow up and protect the little prince until he can transform into Qiankun Jade. ”
Shi Nanzi was secretly happy in his heart, he just wanted the sniper to say this. Shi Nanzi pressed the joy in his heart, pretended to be angry, and said coldly to the sniper,
"The high priest is really calculating! The words are so beautiful, it turns out that it is just for the sake of Qiankun Jade. Once the Qiankun jade is in hand, you can kill the nineteenth prince, and it is really the best of both worlds. ”
The sniper's face was flushed, and after thinking about it, there was indeed something wrong with his words. So he hurriedly pleaded and said:
"Sir, don't misunderstand, if the little prince can help my people, he will be courteous, how can the old man harm him?"
Shi Nanzi shook his head and said, "After all, after forty years of parting with the high priest, people's hearts are already like mountains and rivers, how dare the old man believe the words of the high priest now?"
The sniper was silent, his face cloudy. After a while, he seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said to Shinanzi in a resolute tone, "The old man is willing to swear heavily." ”
Shi Nanzi said: "But the barbarian's oath?"
Sniper said: "Exactly." After speaking, he knelt down, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said loudly:
"I, Shen Gongdan, swear to the heavens today, from today onwards, I will regard the nineteenth prince as my own son, and I will sacrifice my life to stay with each other for life. If this oath is violated, it will be damned, and the body and spirit will be destroyed. ”
Shi Nanzi had already turned his anger into joy, and his heart was already twelve points satisfied. The barbarian swear the heaviest oath, and once this sniper swears an oath, he will be able to keep this oath.
Shi Nanzi bowed to the sniper, and then said solemnly:
"The high priest is indeed understanding. But let's not forget today's promise. ”
The sniper sneered and replied proudly: "The old man is also a good man who is praised by the world, how can he be a man who is not trustworthy? The old man never deceives people, but can he deceive the sky?"
"The high priest has always done what he says, how can the old man not believe it? But I don't know what the high priest plans at the moment?"
"Finding Qiankun Jade is my main task at the moment, if I don't bring back Qiankun Jade, what face will I have to say goodbye to my clansmen?
"Of course, this is very good! But the mountains are lonely, and I am afraid that you will not be used to the hospitality. ”
The sniper laughed and said to Shi Nanzi: "For more than 20 years, the old man has been eating and drinking, wandering all over the world, and he has long been tired of living without a fixed place.
Shinan Zi said meaningfully: "The time may not be very long. ”
Sniper didn't think deeply about Shinanzi's words. At this time, Shi Nanzi had already pulled Nineteen to the front and said to Nineteen: "This gentleman is a master in the world, and his supernatural powers are equal to his master, and he also has a half-master relationship with you." Taoists have always looked down on the difference between sects, advocating that there is no end to learning, and those who reach are teachers. ”
Although Nineteen was not very reluctant in his heart, he had no good impression of this uninvited guest, but because of the master's instructions, he had to walk in front of the sniper, make a big salute, and respectfully call "Uncle Shi".
The sniper didn't care about Nineteen's reluctance, and a "Uncle" called him excited, looking at this little boy full of aura, his heart was full of love and self-satisfaction for a while.
And Nineteen never imagined that this hateful-looking old man would save him from danger several times in the future and become one of the closest people in his life.
Since then, he has settled in Shinan Mountain, where he lives in a thatched hut next to Shinanzi to the east, and Xiao Jin lives in a thatched hut next to Nineteen to the west. However, after Xiao Jin became familiar with the environment, he ran into the forest and was happy, but rarely returned to the grass hut. Nineteen really wanted to play with Xiao Jin, but the master watched it closely, and the cultivation task was heavy, so Nineteen had to sit and watch the anglers, and he had nothing to admire the fish.
In his spare time, the sniper man instructed Nineteen to practice a strange step, the pace is similar to the climbing walk of an ape, which is very complicated and difficult to learn, and it took a long time to master the initial skills, and it is said that it will take a long training process to finally practice. Kim occasionally tried to practice his pace, but he progressed much faster, quickly mastering the basics and becoming proficient in them quickly. For this huge gap, nineteen is also in vain!
The population has increased, and the dumb servants are a little too busy. Shinanzi also found a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl from a familiar hunter to come and help, and the girl's name was actually Furong, which was of course the name given by Shinanzi. The girl has a round face and big eyes, a good figure, lively and cute, and well-behaved, intelligent, diligent and capable. The girl called the two old men grandfathers, the dumb servants dumb uncles, and the nineteen sons sons, and took very good care of this group of old and young. The two old men came to drink tea, sat and discussed, let the wind and rain in the mountains, laugh and watch the clouds roll up, five people and one monkey, live in harmony, but also have fun.
One day, the sniper saw a yellow essence egg in Nineteen's breakfast, and he didn't know what it was, so he asked Shinanzi about it. In fact, Nineteen hasn't eaten this thing for a long time, and the accumulation of more than ten years of Shinanzi has long been eaten up by Nineteen, and this yellow essence egg is still newly picked by a dumb servant in the deep mountains of Shinan recently.
Shi Nanzi said with a smile: "This is the Yellow Essence Egg, it is a truly rare thing, eating him can consolidate the foundation and cultivate the Yuan, and it can speed up the cultivation speed of the Nineteenth." It's just too rare to find. I had some stock, but it was already eaten up by the bastards. ”
The sniper man groaned, "I wonder if I can speed up my cultivation by increasing the power of qi and blood?"
Shi Nanzi said: "Of course you can, and it's the best way, but if you want to improve your qi and blood power, how easy is it?"
Sniper Gong said slowly: "The barbarians have a secret recipe that can greatly improve the power of qi and blood, but they only need four rare things."
"Which four?"
"More than 1,000 years of turtle blood, more than 1,000 years of bear paws, more than 1,000 years of rhino horns, more than 1,000 years of phoenix eggs. ”
Shi Nanzi exclaimed: "How can you find such a rare thing?"
Sniper said: "The thousand-year-old bear's paw can be found in the barbarians, the thousand-year-old rhino horn is found in the southern Gonggong Water Tribe, the thousand-year-old turtle blood can fall on the Jingjiang River, and the thousand-year-old phoenix egg is in the Chu Palace." ”
Shi Nanzi looked at the sniper, smiled slightly, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "Where did you think of the secret recipe temporarily? And if I'm not mistaken, the high priest must have been looking for four rare objects for a long time. ”
Sniper smiled bitterly: "Sir's guess is that I found this thing for other purposes." In order to accept the inheritance of the totem spirit on the day the Totem Pavilion opened, the barbarians had already selected a few young children with good qualifications as inheritors. One of my granddaughters is a rare pure yin body, and she is the best person to receive the totem inheritance. But because she is a girl, I am worried that her lack of qi and blood will affect the efficiency of inheritance, so I look for four things to replenish the qi and blood of my grandson. But now it seems that he can only cheapen Chu Shijiu's kid first. ”
Shi Nanzi said: "Nineteen eats, isn't it delaying the cultivation of Ling's granddaughter? ”
The sniper shook his head and said: "The matter is urgent, the cultivation of the nineteenth is a top priority, you can't re-transform the Qiankun jade, the inheritance is all empty talk, what is the use of the old man and granddaughter asking for these four things?"
The sniper man spoke very frankly, and there was indeed the truth, and Shi Nanzi had nothing to say, so he had to laugh and say: "As you wish, there is only Brother Lao." ”
The sniper glanced at Shi Nanzi and said, "What do you mean by having to work for me? Chu Nineteen is your apprentice, don't you contribute to finding treasures?"
A smile tugged at the corner of Shi Nanzi's mouth, staring at the sniper without saying a word. The sniper said angrily: "Don't stare at me like this, okay? It seems that I have become a thief and have some treasure hidden on my body." ”
Shi Nanzi sighed: "Shen Gongdan, Shen Gongdan, why hide it? You have been looking for four treasures for many years, I don't believe you haven't found any of them, how many do you have in your hand now? Quickly take them out and show them to the old man!"
Sniper sighed dejectedly, looked at Shi Nanzi with a complicated gaze, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. is too cunning, even this can be calculated." I regret meeting you, it's not safe to be with you, and I doubt that since I met you today, everything is in your calculations. ”
Shi Nanzi said: "The old man just obeys the heavens, compared with you, the old man knows the way of heaven better than you." ”
The sniper man "hummed" loudly, disdainful of Shi Nanzi's words. Then he said: "Don't hide it, the old man has really got three things, namely bear paws, rhino horns, and turtle blood, only the phoenix eggs have not yet arrived." ”
"I heard you say just now, there are Fengdan Chu Palace, why don't I go to the King of Chu to ask for it, and use it for his son, and the King of Chu will definitely not refuse. ”
The sniper shook his head and said: "The king of Chu may not know that there are phoenix eggs, strictly speaking, the phoenix eggs are not in the Chu Palace, but in the Phoenix Pavilion of Luantai. ”
"Feng Ge?" Shi Nanzi asked in surprise.
Sniper Gong nodded and said, "After I have checked and inquired many times, there are actually three phoenix eggs enshrined in the Feng Pavilion, all of which were left by the bear, the founder of the Chu State. When Zhou became king, Chu Zixiong built the Luantai Phoenix Pavilion to preserve the phoenix eggs. Although the previous kings of Chu also went to the Feng Pavilion to worship their ancestors, but because of the ancient pavilion protection formation, no one in the Feng Pavilion could enter the pavilion for hundreds of years. ”
Shi Nanzi sighed: "You are really a person with a heart, the old man was born in the royal family, although he also knows the existence of Feng Pavilion, but he doesn't know the details." After a pause, he then asked, "The Chu State has only been building a pavilion for seven hundred years, how can you be sure that the phoenix egg is a thousand-year-old thing?"
Sniper said: "Sir, do you know what the totem of the Chu people is?"
Shi Nanzi said: "Of course I know, the totem of the Chu people is the phoenix. Zhu Rong, the ancestor of the Chu people, is the incarnation of the phoenix, because he is the god of fire, and the Chu people are also still fire. According to legend, the phoenix is the king of birds, the male is the phoenix, the female is the phoenix, its image is the front of the Hong, the back of the scales, the neck of the snake, the tail of the fish, the voice of the stork, the mandarin thought, the dragon text, the back of the fish, the swallow jaw, the beak of the chicken, the five-color preparation, is the bird of the quail fire, the essence of the sun. Every year, the Taimiao of the Chu people, the sect and the society have to hold a grand phoenix sacrifice activity. ”
Sniper said: "The founder of the Chu State, the bear, is the teacher of King Wen of Zhou, virtuous and sage, with profound morality, and his Taoist magic power is derived from the power of the ancient divine bird, and the phoenix eggs he left are of course also passed down by the ancients. ”
Shi Nanzi asked again: "Since the Feng Pavilion has an ancient formation, how can you enter the Pavilion to get eggs?"
Sniper Gong smiled proudly and said: "The old man has already planned, this matter must be nineteen shots, nineteen with Qiankun ancient jade, will be able to break the ancient formation, recently I have been teaching him the secret of the ape god - magic footwork, if you can learn, sneak into the Feng Pavilion to take eggs such as probing the bag to take the ear." ”
Shi Nanzi said with a smile: "The high priest is really scheming, but he just hides it from the old man." ”
Sniper Gong said angrily: "I also have a plan recently, how can I calculate it earlier than you?" Mr. can be regarded as cunning as a fox." ”
Shi Nanzi smiled slightly, stopped arguing with him, and then said: "According to my calculations, the King of Chu will welcome the nineteenth back to the palace in the near future, and we have to plan as soon as possible." ”
The sniper man hurriedly said: "Nineteen back to the palace, how can I still teach him divine skills?"
Shi Nanzi said: "You also enter the palace." ”
"What? The old man is a barbarian, how can he enter the Chu Palace?"
Shi Nanzi stroked his beard lightly and said confidently: "Okay, the old man has his own clever plan." ”
The sniper was silent, lost in thought.
