"Chang Hao, why haven't you returned to the door yet?"

Just as Ding Yu passed by the pharmacy in the King Kong Gate, a voice stopped him.

Ding Yu secretly screamed, "It's broken", and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the old king. He remembered that it was Lao Wangtou's turn to sit in the pharmacy tonight, and for some reason he was late to get off duty, and he closed the shop at this time, but he happened to collide with himself.

Before Ding Yu could answer, the old Wang Tou walked closer, and with the lantern in his hand, he saw the faint blood stains on Ding Yu's face and the neckline of the monk's robe. The old king was taken aback and asked, "You are bloody...... No, you're still injured, what's going on?" Ding Yu endured the pain with sweat on his head, pale lips, and a slightly awkward walking posture, where could he hide from the old Wang Tou, who had been practicing medicine for decades.

Not to mention whether he can be ruthless or not, but he can, although the old king's martial arts are mediocre, it is not something that he can quickly take down with his seriously injured body. Once the shouting is about to rise, there are swordsmen in this Yiwu City who are willing to help the King Kong Gate take him down. Instead of going that far, it is better to let the old king decide.

Ding Yu said in a low voice: "I just killed Chang Wei by mistake, and now I want to run." Either you pretend that you haven't seen me, or take me down and hand me over to the door, and I will never resist. ”

The old king's face changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, looked around, and saw that there was no one on the street, so he lowered his voice and said, "No! You can't just go like this." Follow me!" he turned around and opened the door of the pharmacy that had just been closed, and walked in first.

Ding Yu had already accepted his fate, but he did not hesitate, and then followed.

I saw the old king quickly take out a small medicine jar from a cabinet, asked Ding Yu to sit down, and asked, "Who else knows about this?"

"There are six more people, half a pillar of incense ran away, probably less than half an hour inside the door will know. ”

The corners of Lao Wang's mouth twitched, and he asked again: "Where is the injury?"

"The ninth, tenth, and eleventh ribs and two lower leg bones on the right side. ”

The old king quickly connected Ding Yu's ribs, then picked a touch of ointment from the medicine jar, smeared a thin layer on the wound, sealed the medicine jar, stuffed it to Ding Yu, and said: "This is the black jade intermittent ointment of the King Kong Gate holy medicine, and there is only one jar at the bottom of the pressure box in the whole shop." You will go, and wipe it once a day, and it will be fine in three or five days. As he spoke, he also took out a silver ticket and a waist card, and then said: "The two or three hundred taels of silver tickets here are the medicine materials of today's pharmacy, and I have saved a good horse in the Ping'an Inn and will take it with the waist card." You rode all the way to the southwest, Mo entered the Yumen Pass, passed the Puchang Sea and went south into Tibet, and when you reached the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the King Kong Gate was no longer able to take you. Let's go!" After saying that, he waved his hand and drove Ding Yu away.

Ding Yu was moved, but he was still a little worried, he thought about it, and suddenly grabbed the soft tendons on the shoulders of the old king's head, and the old king's head suddenly became weak and weak, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, what are you going to do?"

Ding Yu sighed: "Elder Wang, if I let you go back unharmed, how can you explain when asked by the door?"

Lao Wangtou's experience in the rivers and lakes was much richer than Ding Yu's, but he was worried that the people in the door would arrive soon, so he was anxious and didn't care about this stubble, as soon as Ding Yu said it, he realized this flaw, gritted his teeth and said: "Stinky boy, be ruthless!"

Ding Yu nodded, took a roll of cloth and stuffed the old king's mouth, and then made a mistake with both hands, broke the old king's right hand, and left multiple bruises on the thick flesh of his chest and back, and finally cut it out with a diagonal palm. Only then did he carefully put the old king's head on the ground, bowed deeply, and closed the door of the pharmacy.

More than half an hour later, more than a dozen second-generation disciples of the Vajra Gate rushed into Yiwu City with dozens of third-generation disciples, knocking on the door and searching from house to house, causing a lot of trouble, until they searched their own pharmacy, only to find the old king who was injured and fainted on the ground. After nearly half an hour, I heard from Xiao Er of Ping'an Inn that a little monk who looked like a disciple of King Kong Gate led a good horse from him and went to the West Gate. They rode out of the city, but Ding Yu was already gone.

A day later, a black-robed monk in his forties, with a capable complexion, reported the whole incident to the fire foreman Tuo, including how Chang Hao blackmailed other disciples in the door on weekdays, how he had a grudge with Chang Wei and his younger brothers, and even Chang Hao's nicknames "Lockthroat Maniac" and "Silver Bald Toutuo" were not omitted. After hearing this, the fire foreman Tuo laughed, shook the roof tiles, and praised with a smile: "This kid is interesting, a little like me! I will help him again, announcing that the gang of the King Kong Sect and the bandits in the Western Regions will reward Chang Hao with a thousand taels of silver, whether he lives or dies; ”

"Yes, Master!"

Besides, Ding Yu betrayed the night of King Kong Gate. He rode out of Yiwu City from the west gate on the old king's green horse, and it didn't take long for him to leave the official road and turn onto a path to the southwest.

It was late at night, and it was dark all around, except for the brown paper lantern hanging by the saddle, which shone a little light, illuminating the road within two or three meters ahead. Ding Yu did not dare to gallop on his horse, lest the cold wind pour into the lantern and blow out the candle. But the horse trotted the most bumpy, and if it was usually upside down, his three broken ribs gradually became unbearable. In order to prevent the bones from staggering again, he had to press the wound with one hand, lay down on the horse's back, and put the other hand around the neck of the green horse. It's just that in this way, the horse has no knight's urging, and it slows down a little. Ding Yu himself was also very tired, and fell asleep on the back of the horse unconsciously.

I don't know how long later, Ding Yu was woken up by a soft and moist object, and when he opened his eyes, it was completely dark all around, and even the candles in the lantern didn't know when they burned out. There was only a crescent moon in the sky, and in the moonlight, I could barely see the green horse with a pair of aggrieved big eyes, constantly licking him with his tongue, as if to blame him for sleeping sweetly, but asking me to run away at night.

Ding Yu reluctantly stroked the horse's neck and said softly: "Don't stop, horse, and walk slowly, and when the sky is bright, I will buy you eggs to eat." The young horse didn't know whether he understood his words, or if he felt too cold standing in the winter night, so he began to walk slowly again.

Recalling the various acts in the past six months and the fight tonight, Ding Yu was both annoyed and remorseful. What he regrets is not his arrogance and ruthlessness, nor what he hates is Chang Wei's arrogance and disobedience, but that he was actually lost by power and became greedy and ignorant.

Now that he thinks about it, it should be the first time he got the soul seed upgrade reward, and he was tempted by this safe, fast, and non-toxic way to obtain power. Obviously, the maximum time for each level of the soul seed to accumulate energy is as long as ten months, and he only needs to practice with peace of mind, and occasionally have a few battles with his fellow disciples to absorb enough energy smoothly, but he has to rush to achieve success and use the most arrogant and tyrannical way to quickly advance. It is not a mistake to be arrogant and tyrannical, but it is wrong that he does not know how to restrain himself when he is so weak, which is especially stupid after he has obtained the support of the old king's decoction. At this stage, the effect of the old king's decoction is actually no worse than the upgrade reward of the soul seed, why don't he improve his strength in a low-key manner, and wait until he has achieved martial arts and becomes a core disciple before making a splash? At that time, he can use the power of the Vajra Gate to plunder the energy of the martial artists outside the sect, even if the way is tyrannical, there is also the great god of the fire foreman Tuo, why bother staring at the little profit within the sect?

In the final analysis, it is still the lack of mental energy, which is why I was lost by the soul seed. Thinking of this, Ding Yu subconsciously checked the situation of the soul seed, and when he saw it, he was taken aback.

It turned out that in the previous battle with Chang Wei, he actually provided twenty-one pieces of energy for the soul seed. Ding Yu was speechless, and finally understood how big the gap between him and Chang Wei was, according to his own estimates, his own energy was about ten points, Chang Wei was almost twice as much as him, no wonder he would be completely crushed when he fought. These twenty-one plus the accumulation of the previous months, the soul seed just saved enough energy for the third upgrade, and it completed the upgrade silently by itself, leaving an upgrade reward waiting for Ding Yu's choice. Another surprise is that after the third upgrade of the soul seed, a message was also given: the soul seed has completed the juvenile stage and entered the growth period, and each upgrade in the growth period requires 300 units of energy, and the host needs to provide at least 30 units of energy per month.

This information made Ding Yu feel a lot more at ease, it turned out that the energy required for soul seed upgrading was not exponential, and fortunately, otherwise, in a few years, I am afraid that he would not be able to gather the energy if he slaughtered the entire world. As for the upgrade reward, he didn't hesitate to choose to improve the quality of his bones, which was just the right time to speed up the healing of his injuries. However, he was determined that the speed of the subsequent upgrade would be slow and slow, and he would never repeat the mistakes of the past.

In this way, Ding Yu reflected on it, and sometimes he couldn't hold it and took a nap on horseback, walking and stopping by one person and one horse, and finally it was dawn.

When the winter sun rises and brings a few beams of warmth in the biting cold, everyone and every horse are refreshed. They walked in the dark for most of the night, and they had long since lost their way. Finally, Ding Yu was lucky, and he saw a small stream below the mountain, meandering through a small village. Ding Yu was overjoyed, rode his horse to the stream, everyone drank a few sips, and Ding Yu carefully scrubbed the blood stains on his head and face before he got on the horse and entered the village.

Ding Yu found a large family in the village, saying that he was a dart master who followed his master's bodyguard, but because he was startled by wolves at night, he was separated from the dart team and lost his way.

At this time, the Western Regions were not peaceful, but the eldest lady of Yingmen saw that Ding Yunian was only fifteen or sixteen, and he was a little monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, so she let him into the house, greeted him with a hot tea and rice, and pointed out the road of Puchanghai for him.

The lady originally wanted to stay with Ding Yu for a day or two, her nephew was preparing goods, and in a few days he was going to set off for Puchanghai to do business.

Leaving the village, Ding Yu originally planned to hurry up and get out of the sphere of influence of the King Kong Gate as soon as possible. But it didn't take long for the injuries on his body to start to be unstable again, and no matter how effective the black jade intermittent ointment was, it also needed to cooperate with rest to exert the maximum effect. In addition, although the green horse under the crotch is a good horse, it can't stand running day and night. In desperation, he had no choice but to deviate from the road again and run as far as possible into the deserted mountains and forests.

Finally, Ding Yu was lucky, and after more than an hour, he found a small cave. After Ding Yu threw two stones to find out that there were no dangerous animals such as bears and wolves in the cave, he led the horse into the cave. The cave is seven or eight meters deep and four or five meters wide, and there is a bend in the middle, which blocks the wind and sand from the outer layer, while the inner layer is relatively clean and warm. He tied his horse to a large rock, unloaded his harness and put it on the ground as a pillow, and when his mood was a little relaxed, he could not bear to be tired anymore, and fell asleep.

I slept until the sun set, and when I woke up, I felt in good spirits, so I went out of the cave and picked up some dry grass and dead branches, and came back to make a fire, and made a bed out of hay, and finally cleaned up the cave so that I could barely live in it.

Ding Yu cultivated in the cave for three days, and the powerful medicinal effect of the black jade intermittent ointment combined with his own strong physique actually healed the injury by eighty or ninety. Not only that, but he also felt that the bones all over his body were faintly ****, which was a sign that the magic power of King Kong was about to become small. He was overjoyed, so he simply stayed for two more days, and spent most of his time practicing Vajra's demonic powers every day in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, and finally broke through in one fell swoop.

After a five-day delay, although his strength had increased a bit, the captured disciples of the Vajra Gate must have rushed to the front of him, so Ding Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. According to his original intention, it is best to escape to the Mongolian steppe in the east at this time, as long as he finds Temujinbe, he can find the protagonist Guo Jing, and with the news of the rivers and lakes he heard in the wine shop as a time node, it can basically be determined that Guo Jing is still staying in the grassland at this time, and if he can become friends with the protagonist at this time, he may be able to share a little bit of the protagonist's luck in the future. It's just that he also knows that what the old king said is right, in the entire Western Regions, only the southwest has a weak influence, forcing him to go this way.

Ding Yu had been cautiously observing the mountain before setting off, until he saw a caravan passing on the path below, and then rode down the mountain and chased after him. He thought it would be better to mingle with the people in the caravan and join them on the walk, so that he could hide his tracks. Unexpectedly, as soon as he chased him to a place still a stone's throw away from the caravan, two horses were divided into the opposing team, one of them opened his bow and aimed an arrow at Ding Yu, and the other reined in his horse on the spot, and shouted to him from afar: "Who is coming? What is chasing my Snow Lotus Firm?"

Ding Yu took out the phrase "was scattered by wolves and lost his way", and then said that he hoped to walk with the other party for a while until the next town.

The knight sneered: "If you are a dart master, how can you not understand the rules of this road? "It turns out that in the Western Regions, there are many bandits and their strength is different, and when they see the caravan approaching, they often send one or two horsemen to see the caravan's personnel, weapons, and goods clearly, and then decide whether to attack. Therefore, two strange caravans will not easily approach each other on the road, and if they really want to get close, they must first identify themselves from a distance to avoid misunderstandings. However, it's no wonder that Ding Yu, the body he occupies has no experience in the rivers and lakes, how can he know these rules.

At that moment, Ding Yu opened his mouth to explain: "It's the first time to go out and dart, although the master has talked about these rules, but I am anxious to forget it, don't blame me for offending!" At this time, in order to cover his identity, he had already put on a hat and changed into ordinary clothes, so he called himself "under the bottom" instead of "poor monk".

The other knight asked, "In that case, you should report your dart number." There are two kinds of so-called dart numbers, one is the "Hewu" shouted when walking, and the other is the name shouted when the identity is revealed, for example, the dart number of the Wuyang Dart Bureau is "The dart number of the Wuyang Dart Bureau is "The dart number of the dart is "The dart number of the Wuyang Dart Bureau is "The dart number of the Rentong Four Seas, the Wuxian Family" and so on.

Ding Yu didn't even understand the rules of the road, let alone these slogans, and he was speechless for a while.

The knight's face changed, and he recognized him as a spy of the bandits, and shouted, "The thief looks at the arrows!" The bowstring in his hand rang out continuously, and three arrows came in succession. Ding Yu hurriedly rode his horse to dodge, but his riding skills were mediocre, and he was shot in the horse's leg by an arrow after all, which was still the other party's scruples, and he didn't want to offend the bandits behind him too much, so he only shot the horse and not the people.

Ding Yu was furious and wanted to return the color, but the other party turned the horse's head and left. The green horse was in pain, and he didn't know the direction and galloped, just running against the other party, and by the time it finally calmed down, the other party and the caravan had already gone far away. Ding Yu felt sorry for the green horse, and he didn't bother to chase it anymore, so he jumped off the horse to check the arrow wound, but fortunately the wound was not deep, he pulled out the arrow and smeared a little medicine, and the blood quickly stopped.

After this incident, he knew that it was impossible to borrow a caravan to hide himself, and there was no other way at the moment but to move slowly towards the southwest.

After walking for about two hours, he came to a mountain col, and Ding Yu faintly heard someone arguing loudly. He turned around the col and saw that there was a strange terrain on the road ahead, with high cliffs on both sides, and only the middle line could be walked. And a group of unknown people just occupied the entrance of this line of sky, not allowing passers-by to pass, and the people, carriages and horses started from the entrance, lined up in a queue dozens of meters long, and the sound of quarrels came from the entrance.

"You can find any bald monk, but I am a sedan chair to welcome relatives, and I must not let you open it to see!"

"Who knows if you've hidden your bald head inside!
