Volume 1 Looking at the Sea Tide Chapter 4 A bluestone
The Biyi Mountains are 600 miles long from east to west, with east to north and west to south. In the meantime, the peaks are staggered, undulating, but they are not too high, and the main peak is only 700 zhang.
This is just an inconspicuous mountain range on the Aosing Star Continent, the Aosing Star Continent is vast, and the lofty mountains on the continent are often thousands of miles long and thousands of zhang high.
After entering the mountain and picking a few ordinary herbs, Chen Fu climbed over a col and came to a slope. The slope is densely wooded, and at the bottom of the slope there is a stream that flows to his left. The water surface of the stream is narrow, and the stream bed is exposed with large sand and gravel. Not far from his right, in the upper reaches of the stream, there is a steep cliff more than ten zhang high, the top of the cliff is about ten zhang wide, and a waterfall about five or six feet wide hangs down in the middle.
It was past noon, and Chen Fu walked through the woods to the bottom of the slope, ready to eat some dry food from the stream.
Suddenly, the trees shook, and a big ape appeared in front of Chen Fu. It was a young male ape, covered in long black hair, six feet tall, with a large body and unusually thick limbs. It roared angrily, waving its fan-sized palm and sweeping it towards Chen Fu.
It turned out that this forest was the territory of the male ape, and when he saw someone trespassing on the territory, the male ape was furious and immediately launched an attack on the comer.
Chen Fu thought to himself, it's good to use your big black man to practice his fists and feet.
He has been practicing Chongxiao boxing for several years, and he has never fought with anyone. Yesterday he had a sense of qi, this morning when he practiced boxing to urge the vitality, he felt that the strength of the fists and feet was more than twice as large as usual, and the vitality could still come out of the body, Chen Fu wanted to try the power of the fists and feet, and now the opportunity was sent to the door.
He slammed into the man's palm and threw his fist at the ape's giant palm!
Boom......
With a dull loud bang, the male ape's attack was blocked, and he raised his other palm, and swept his hands one palm after another.
Chen Fu shouted angrily, and in an instant, he didn't know how many punches he threw in a row, all of which hit the thick arms of the male ape, and the male ape immediately felt the pain in his arms, put down his hands, and raised his legs to kick.
Chen Fu raised his hand to block it, and was shocked and staggered back.
The male ape approached, using his hands and feet together, making a whirring sound, setting off gusts of wind and attacking Chen Fu. Chen Fu was not afraid at all, and he actually fought this giant beast head-on, and fought and retreated.
The male ape's hands and feet were frustrated one after another, and he became even more furious, frantically launching a more fierce attack on Chen Fu, one blow faster than the other. One man and one ape, everywhere they passed, gravel flew wildly, and small trees fell down.
Just when one person and one ape were fighting inextricably, Chen Fu saw a gap, suddenly jumped up, and hit the male ape's nose with both fists continuously. The male ape suddenly spurted out a nosebleed, and tears flowed down his eyes in pain, and he turned his head and ran.
There was a bang, bang, bang sound in the woods, and the male apes kept hitting the branches, shaking the leaves, and the birds in the trees fluttered their wings and soared, circling and chirping over the trees.
Chen Fu roared and chased after him, and he followed suit. He now climbed a hundred-zhang cliff as if he were walking on the ground, and it took only two quarters of an hour to go up and down, and the speed on this slope was even faster.
The male ape ran to the bottom of the slope, and when he saw that there was a stream in front of him, he did not dare to wade over. It ran along the stream to the cliff upstream, dragged the vine to the top of the cliff, squatted on it, and looked at Chen Fu defiantly.
Chen Fu rushed all the way, chased after him, and even climbed the vine. Halfway up the climb, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the cliff wall behind the waterfall, eight or nine feet high, there was a stone crack about three inches wide, and a few golden leaves poked out of it. Based on the shape and color of the leaves, he judged that there should be a medicinal herb inside the stone crevice.
It's a coincidence, from below or above, there are waterfalls blocking the view, and it is from this angle that you can see the back of the waterfall.
"I'm going to pick it up later. Chen Fu thought secretly.
He didn't stop, and continued to climb the cliff and attack the male ape. The male ape got up to meet him, and one man and one ape struck from the edge of the cliff to the stream bed upstream of the waterfall, splashing sand and rocks. And he struck from the bed of the stream into the bushes on the mountain, and the leaves of the trees scattered.
After fighting for a long time, the vitality in Chen Fu's dantian was almost exhausted, and the male ape was also tired and sweating, and neither one nor one ape could move, sitting on the ground and panting heavily. After a while, Chen Fu regained his strength and stood up. The male ape was shocked, and quickly stood up and took a defensive posture.
Chen Fu was sore at this time, and he didn't want to fight anymore, so he waved his hand at the male ape and said, "It's a draw, fight again another day." The male ape saw that he waved his hand, as if he understood his words, and breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down again.
Chen Fu came to the bed of the stream, took out dry food from the medicine basket, and filled his stomach. Then start practicing the channeling skills to make up for the depleted vitality.
The male ape blinked, looked at it for a moment, and slipped away quietly.
Chen Fu waited for the dantian to be full of vitality, and felt that he had strength again, so he walked to the waterfall. He untied the silk rope on his left wrist, and silently thought in his heart, and the silk rope immediately became longer. He tied one end of the silk rope to a large stone on the edge of the waterfall, and the other end to his waist, grasped the rope with both hands, and slowly fell.
When he fell to the same height as the stone crevice, Chen Fu slowly moved to the left side, moving to the edge of the stone crevice step by step. He froze his body and looked inside carefully, and it turned out to be a golden-leaved purple heart orchid. According to the "Biyi Materia Medica", this is a rare medicinal material, which can relieve the toxicity of several poisonous insects, and can be said to be an elixir for detoxification.
Chen Fu suppressed his excitement, climbed the protruding place of the cliff with his left hand, and took out the medicine hoe from the medicine basket with his right backhand, carefully cleaning up the thin soil and fine gravel around the roots. When most of the taproot was exposed, he gently pulled out the golden-leaved purple heart orchid.
Suddenly, Chen Fu saw that inside the crack in the stone, where the view was blocked by the golden-leafed purple heart orchid just now, there was a stone shaped like a bird's egg.
He put the gold-leafed purple heart orchid and the medicine hoe into the medicine basket, reached into the depths of the stone crevice with his right hand, took out the stone, and wiped it clean on his clothes. I saw that this stone was blue and white, shiny and smooth, and only there was a small black spot that was almost invisible at the tip of the point, which was really beautiful. Chen Fu put it into his arms and thought, "There is another beautiful bluestone on the gravel road in my family!"
Over the past year, he has picked up a lot of good stones, some of which have fallen from the cliff wall, some of which are pebbles on the beach by the sea, and some of which he picked up when he went up the mountain to collect medicine. He piled all these stones in the corner of the courtyard, thinking that he would save enough in the future, so he used these stones to pave a path from the courtyard gate to the steps, and it was comfortable and poetic to walk on it.
Yes, poetic. Although the boy dropped out of school, he went to school for a few years. Although there are no 10,000 books in the chest, there are still hundreds of poems, and the poetry is an indelible imprint in the hearts of readers.
Chen Fu returned to the clifftop waterfall, put away the silk rope, and continued to look for medicinal materials.
The sun had set early in the mountains, but Chen Fu had only picked up half a basket of medicinal materials, so he found a small cave and planned to stay in the mountains and continue to collect medicines tomorrow.
This cave is about a zhang deep, a little higher than Chen Fu's people. He picked up a large pile of dead branches around the perimeter, lit a bonfire in the cave, and after a while, moved the bonfire to the mouth of the cave.
At night, the mountains are humid, so building a bonfire at the entrance of the cave can drive away the moisture and prevent wild beasts from entering. And there is residual warmth on the ground where the bonfire was lit before, so sleeping on it at night will not get cold. These are all taught to him by the old man when Chen Fu followed Song Yuge to collect medicine in the past.
Standing outside the cave and watching the moon for most of the hour, Chen Fu turned around and entered the cave, lying on the ground where the bonfire had been lit before, listening to the cries of night birds from time to time in the mountains and forests, and slowly falling asleep with his arms on his pillow.
At the beginning of the next day, although there was no rooster crowing in the mountain, Chen Fu still woke up on time, he walked out of the cave and stretched his waist, at this time the mountain was still dark, and the surroundings were quiet.
He suddenly felt that the dantian was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly condensed his luck......
Chen Fu was stunned, there was not even a trace of vitality in the dantian!
The day before yesterday, he just came to the sense of qi, the first time to absorb the vitality between heaven and earth, yesterday afternoon after fighting with the male ape, consumed a lot, he also deliberately practiced the guidance skill, so that the dantian was full of vitality again. Who would have expected that it would only be overnight, and the vitality of a full dantian would be gone!
"Why is that?" Chen Fu wanted to figure out why.
"Is it because I did the wrong exercises? Grandpa Song taught me to practice very carefully that day, and I have been practicing according to it since then. Chen Fu pondered.
He had a whim: "Or maybe I haven't cultivated the exercises of the Ming Yuan Realm yet, so I can't keep my vitality for long." ”
The more Chen Fu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he thought that when Liang Dengle and his brother sent back the exercises, he would be fine after practicing, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
When the sun rose, he began to operate the channeling exercises. Half an hour later, the dantian was full again. Chen Fu thought, although the vitality will disappear inexplicably, it can also be absorbed back, as long as there is vitality in the body, the strength of the fists and feet will increase, and he can continue to practice his fists and temper the meridians, and it seems that there will be no delay at present. Thinking of this, his hanging heart was put down.
