Chapter 19: Preparations Before Departure
Along the way, Ning Shi felt that his speed was a little faster than usual, his body was much lighter, and he could see the surrounding environment more clearly at night. Normally, it takes about half an hour to get home, but now it takes less than a quarter of an hour.
Ning Shi returned home without blushing and panting, patted the dust folds on his body, and walked into the house. In the living room, Ning Chongshan was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, covering his legs with a thick blanket, holding a book and reading under the lamp. Duanmu Wan sat next to him, holding a piece of cloth and a ruler, and comparing the sizes.
On the table, a few items of food held on plates occasionally floated out of thin wisps of smoke, apparently left for a long time, and were about to get cold.
"Dad, mother. I am back. Ning Shi pushed open the door.
Ning Chongshan had a stern look on his face and put the scroll aside. "Why did you come back so late? You want to starve your father and your mother to death?"
Hearing Ning Chongshan's words, Duanmu Wan snorted and laughed, accepted the female red, and shouted at Ning Shi: "Go wash your hands and bring the food yourself." ”
"Open dinner!" Ning Chongshan smiled, turning his wheelchair to the table.
Duanmu Wan gave him a big roll of the eyes, and slapped Ning Chongshan's hand on the plate, "You go wash it too!"
During the meal, the family of three chatted about cultivation, Ning Chongshan was in a good mood, reached out and touched Ning Shi's head and said, "Hey, yes, I'll go to the medicine spring for a while, let's go to bed early." ”
Ning Shi raised his head and looked at his mother.
Now that the family is very poor, there is no money to buy medicinal materials, so it is naturally impossible for the mother and son to tell Ning Chongshan, so Ning Chongshan, who is outside the male protagonist, does not know about this situation.
Mother nodded slightly at Ning Shi, and Ning Shi said a soft "um", lowered her head and continued to pick up rice......
That night, Ning Shi came to the bathroom at the back of the house, but the medicinal spring was ready.
Ning Shi looked at the big pot of beast bones boiling in the pot on the stove next to him, blinked his eyes and asked, "These ......"
Duanmu Wan turned his head and saw that Ning Chongshan in the living room was still reading the bamboo scroll, made a "shhh" gesture, and communicated with Ning Shi with his divine sense: "I borrowed these medicinal materials. ”
"Borrowed?" Ning Shi blurted out subconsciously.
Duanmu Wan covered her son's mouth and continued to say with her divine sense: "Don't let your father hear me, since you can hear me, you must have reached the realm of first acquaintance, now I will teach you to communicate with your mind, imagine what you want to say in your mind, and then imagine that this sentence will be transmitted to my sea of knowledge along a route, and that's it." ”
"Like this, mother, can you hear me?" Ning Shi didn't move his mouth, and his spirit imagined what he wanted to say and passed it to Duanmu Wan.
Duanmu Wan smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's it! After sending you there, I didn't go home directly, but went to your uncle's house and borrowed these medicinal herbs. But from tomorrow, you will go into the mountains with your uncle to collect medicine, can you do it?"
Ning Shi nodded firmly. Although he was young, his mother treated him as a member of the family, and let him, a little man, share the responsibilities for the family, so Ning Shi felt very fulfilled in his heart.
"Go in and go clubbing, and after you finish soaking, rest early, and your uncle will come and take you into the mountain tomorrow." Duanmuwan poured the precious liquid into the bathtub.
"Okay!" Ning Shi replied, and then his body slid into the bathtub with a bow.
After soaking in the medicinal spring, Ning Shi's brain was still extremely excited, the effect this time was obviously better than the previous times, not only the body became more tenacious, but even the muscles felt full of liliang, it seemed that the realm of first acquaintance was really extraordinary, he couldn't help but say to himself: "The body is really a whole, the soul has become stronger, and the physical body is easy to progress." The benefits I gained from absorbing the medicinal spring today are more than I have cultivated for a hundred days. ”
"You're not right!" Duanmuwan's voice came from outside the curtain.
Ning Shi turned his head and watched Duanmu Wan walk in with a plate of things.
"The divine soul and the physical body do complement each other, but the benefits from absorbing the medicinal spring are not comparable to the effect of your cultivation for a hundred days, and this medicinal spring is just delivering the nutrients your body needs. The body is like a leather bag, if it were not accumulated without the previous 100 days of cultivation, the body would not be able to carry so much nutrients. Only by exercising and constantly expanding the capacity in your body can you get stronger and stronger, understand?" Duanmuwan explained.
Hearing his mother's explanation, Ning Shi suddenly understood, "Just like what the book says, the nine-story platform starts from the soil. Great oaks from little acorns grow.. Is that so?"
"Yes. You're going to go up the mountain with your uncle tomorrow, and my mother has prepared some things, so let's see if you like it. Duanmu smiled and put the things in his hand on the table.
Ning Shi was slightly stunned and lifted the curtain covering the plate. I saw that under the curtain, in addition to dry food, there was also a knife, a book, and a bow.
Ning Shi reached out and grabbed the long knife that was in the sheath, and shouted happily, "How can there be these things!"
Duanmu Wan smiled and said, "Since you are going up the mountain tomorrow, then naturally I have to prepare these things for you, otherwise if I encounter a fierce beast, I can't let my heart and liver deal with it with my bare hands, right?" This knife was given to you by your father, and its name is Mo Hong. The knife is good at chopping and slashing, and is more suitable for jungle defense than the sword. You pull it out and see. ”
Ning Shi nodded happily, the hand holding the scabbard exerted a slight force, and the blade and the scabbard gently rubbed into a pleasant soft sound, and the long knife came out in response.
This is a thousand-forged steel knife, and under the reflection of the crane's foot lamp, the jet-black knife body reflects a piece of fine cloud patterns like flowers. The blade is long and straight, about four fingers wide, with a subtle arc with a chilling murderous aura, at first glance it looks like a firewood knife for chopping wood, and the color is not as bright as the pig-killing knife, but it contains this invisible momentum.
The name of the ink rainbow, the ink is the blade, and the rainbow is the blood light.
Ning Shi didn't understand this, but when he saw his mother's hair that had fallen out of his hand split in two when he passed the blade, his eyes lit up, and he lovingly took the knife in his hand and played with it repeatedly.
Duanmu Wan smiled slightly, and continued to introduce: "This bow, don't think about pulling it apart without the strength of one stone, you now have a four-stone liliang, which can just give full play to the maximum strength of this bow." ”
When Ning Shi heard his mother say this, he immediately put down Mo Hong and reached out to take the boxwood bow.
Ning Shi easily pulled the bow into a full moon, and Duanmu Wan hurriedly stopped: "Don't let go of the empty arrow, if you hit your hand, it can break your tendons." ”
After Ning Shi slowly flattened the bowstring, Duanmu Wan continued: "Archery, your uncle is a master, when the time comes, you can learn more from him, what my mother can teach you is to aim." ”
"Aim?" asked Ning Shi.
"Yes! For you who have entered the realm of first acquaintance, it is also simple. The key to archery is to be steady, accurate, and ruthless. Stability is the posture of the bow, I can't teach you this, as long as the strength of the bow is strong, it can naturally be achieved. As for how to be accurate, it depends on a person's talent. I'll tell you the essentials, and I'll ask your uncle to teach you how to shoot a bow tomorrow. ”
After listening to his mother's brief introduction, Ning Shi nodded his head to indicate that he remembered.
"These weapons were given to you by your father, I was worried that the weapons would be too heavy and waste too much of your physical strength, so I prepared some light objects, but now that your strength has increased greatly, I am also relieved. As for this book, it is a medicine scripture that I borrowed from the guys in the Huichun Hall, and it contains the digging methods and diagrams of many medicinal materials, so you can remember it tonight. After everything was explained, Duanmuwan stood up and prepared to go out.
Hearing that her mother also prepared a blade for herself, Ning Shi had no reason to let it go, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what my mother prepared for the child?"
Seeing Ning Shi's anxious appearance, Duanmu Wan sneered and laughed, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and shook it in front of Ning Shi, "If you want to have a double share, you have to express it." ”
Ning Shi quickly hugged his mother's neck and kissed his mother's cheek.
Duanmu Wan stretched out his finger, pointed at Ning Shi's forehead and said, "Ghost spirit, give it to you." He handed the small bag to his son, then stood up again, and said with loving eyes: "After reading the medicine scripture, rest early, don't sleep too late." ”
Ning Shi let out a well-behaved "um".
After his mother walked out, Ning Shi opened the small cloth bag given by his mother.
The contents of the sack were extremely small, and the things that my mother gave me were more defensive than the swords, bows, arrows, and crossbows given by my father, a thin and tough inner armor, a string of amulet pendants, a delicate bow and crossbow the size of a palm, and a simple note.
Ning Shi unfolded the note, and a line of small words was written on it: "The inner armor is invulnerable, once it encounters a life and death crisis, it will infuse the power of the divine soul into the talisman, which can save my son's life." There is only one arrow in the small crossbow, which is extremely valuable and can help you get out of danger, so don't use it indiscriminately, remember. ”
After reading this line, Ning Shi solemnly hung the talisman around his neck, and then put the armor on his body and tried it, this pitch-black inner armor, I don't know what material it is made of, is not only thin and breathable, but also extremely tough. Ning Shi originally wanted to reach out and try to tear it up, but he was afraid that he would really tear it up and disappoint his mother, so he gave up.
"The talisman must be carried close to you, once it reaches the critical moment of life and death, it will bear a blow on your behalf, and then the mother can sense your situation here and quickly rush over. The mother was worried, Duanmu Wan was still not worried about her child after all, so she turned back and instructed emphatically.
"Knowing the mother, the child will definitely take it well. Ning Shi smiled slightly and patted the slightly raised talisman under his neck.
Duanmu Wan saw that Ning Shi had already taken it, so she was relieved and walked out again.
After trying the inner armor and bringing the amulet, Ning Shi moved his attention to the small crossbow the size of a palm, the crossbow barrel was extremely thin, the half-moon-shaped bow body on it was tightly bent, and a bowstring like a lock of hair thickness was locked on it, it seemed that he didn't know what material it was, Ning Shi stretched out his hand and plucked it, and found that the bowstring had not moved at all, and it was obviously extremely tight.
The curious Ning Shi flicked his strength twice more, and found that the bowstring was still motionless. If it weren't for what his mother said, Ning Shi really wanted to hook the crossbow hook and try it with an arrow.
However, these things are not the most attractive to Ning Shi. After fiddling with the weapons given by his parents for a while, Ning Shi put these things aside, then sat cross-legged on the bed and settled down.
He wanted to take a good look at the fork he had snatched from the Heavenly Demon, he was desperate to get stronger now...... (The third update is sent, thank you for your support...... )
