Chapter 4 The Boy's Gray Hair
Yue Fan endured the pain in his body, and one turned over and climbed up, which made Xiao Ya'er snort in pain, but his hands and feet were still tightly bound to Yue Fan's body, and he didn't let go at all.
Seeing Yue Fan, who was covered in blood all over his body and had a hideous face, appeared in front of him, the money shopkeeper was terrified, and wanted to run but the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and his feet kept trembling.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yue Fan instantly slid behind the money shopkeeper, threw away the wooden stick, raised his right hand and grabbed the money shopkeeper's throat and said fiercely: "Don't come up to any of you, otherwise I will break his neck." β
Sure enough, the inner courtyard suddenly became unusually quiet, and only the sound of blood dripping from Yue Fan's left hand was heard.
......
"Tick ...... Tick ......"
Hearing the sound of Yue Fan dripping blood, Xiao Ya'er immediately jumped off Yue Fan's body, bit off a piece of her own cloth with her teeth, and skillfully bandaged the wound on Yue Fan's left hand after tearing it off.
Zhao Tianhua looked at the black bear skin shattered into pieces on the ground in a daze, and held his breath in his heart: "It took so much effort, but there was nothing." If it hadn't been for the old man just now, I might have been the one who planted it in that kid's hands. Seeing that Xiao Ya'er was bandaging Yue Fan's wounds, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and shouted: "What are you all doing in a daze, go up and take him down for me." β
"Don't come here. Yue Fan's hand was tightened, and the boss of the money turned pale, as if he was about to lose his breath.
Seeing that their shopkeepers are in the hands of others, these nurses don't dare to act rashly, for fear that the boss will make a mistake, but this second young master can't afford to be guilty, so you look at me, I look at you, I am in a dilemma, and I don't know what to do.
When Zhao Tianhua saw such a situation, he was even more angry: "You all give it to me, I'll carry it if something happens." β
Seeing that these nursing homes still didn't move, Zhao Tianhua was about to shout again, but was interrupted by an old and powerful voice: "Tianhua, forget it, don't embarrass them, let me solve it." As he spoke, an old man in a red robe walked out of the back hall.
This old man is one of the four elders of the Zhao family, Feng Impermanence, this person has been a monk in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, and he has practiced iron head skills, so he faces the strange, and his forehead is much more prominent than ordinary people.
Due to the excessive murderous intent when walking the rivers and lakes, he was expelled from Shaolin, and at the age of thirty, he was already a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but because he was later chased and killed by the enemy, when he was about to die, he was rescued by Zhao Qianjin, who was not the head of the Zhao family at that time, in order to repay Zhao Qianjin for saving his life, and he was also tired of living in a fixed place, so Feng Impermanence decided to stay and help Zhao Qianjin.
Feng Wuchang has been with Zhao Qianjin for more than 30 years, and with the strong financial and material support of the Zhao family, Feng Wuchang has stepped into the threshold of the innate realm with one foot, and is loyal to the Zhao family. In addition, he watched Zhao Tianhua grow up since he was a child, so the task of protecting Zhao Tianhua was also handed over to him.
Seeing Feng Impermanence coming out, Zhao Tianhua did not have the domineering attitude just now, but became humble, and said respectfully: "Old Feng, please take a seat, then I will leave it to you." With that, he stepped aside.
After bandaging Yue Fan's wounds, Xiao Ya'er hid behind him again, and when she heard someone appear, she poked her little head out and came out to watch with her eyes flashing.
After Feng Wuchang sat down, he looked at Yue Fan, then looked at the little girl behind him, and said with a smile: "The young man is good, brave and strategic, and seeing that you have not practiced any internal kung fu, it is even more rare to be able to avoid my sword qi." After a pause, he said with a little regret: "It's a pity, in fact, you completely dodged my sword qi just now, but in order to save the little girl, you actually blocked it with your empty hands." Although your injuries are not as serious as I thought, I think your left hand meridians have been abolished, and it will be impossible to hold things in the future......"
"Hmph!" Yue Fan said coldly: "What do you want?"
Feng Wuchang said lightly: "Actually, you are injured like this now, even if I don't do it, I am afraid it is impossible for you to rush out with this little guy." β
Looking at Yue Fan's resolute expression, Feng Wuchang continued: "Although you have hostages in your hands, you are not from the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to say that you will kill someone." β
That's right, Yue Fan has never killed anyone, and he doesn't want to kill anyone, after all, he is just an ordinary hunter. But now......
Yue Fan didn't have any expression on his face, and still said in a cold voice: "I didn't want to kill anyone, so don't force me...... I still want to live well, and in order to live, I can kill!"
Feng Wuchang didn't expect a seriously injured and besieged person to be so calm, so he nodded and said: "Young man, you are not from the rivers and lakes, so I can give you a chance, whatever weapon you use, as long as you can force me to leave this chair within ten moves, even if you win, you can naturally leave here." He stroked the handle of the chair and continued: "If you lose, promise to do three things for me, how about it? Of course, for the sake of fairness, I only defend and do not attack, and whether you can force me back depends on whether you have the ability to do so." β
In fact, this battle is not fair, after all, Feng Impermanence has stepped into the threshold of the innate realm with one foot, and there are not many people who can fight with him, let alone an ordinary hunter like Li Yuefan.
What is the innate realm, the innate realm represents the pinnacle of martial arts, and it is the realm that many people in the martial arts dream of. There are very few people who can reach the innate realm of martial arts, and all of them are people with respected status in the rivers and lakes, or the master of a faction, or an elder guest, or a famous martial arts master.
People in the rivers and lakes are often divided into five classes, the lowest is not into the stream, followed by second-rate martial arts, first-class can be called masters, up is the super-first-class master and the congenital master, although the super-first-class master and the congenital master are only one realm, but it is a difficult gap to overcome, and there are different gaps between the innate masters.
Of course, Yue Fan didn't know these common senses, but even if he knew how powerful this old man was, how could he be afraid with his character? "Let go of the money shopkeeper, roll up the wooden stick on the ground with his foot, and rush towards the impermanence of the wind.
I saw Yue Fan holding a stick in one hand, and swung it violently towards the wind, and even the sound of "huh, huh" broke the air in the air.
And Feng Wuchang's expression was natural, he didn't look at the wooden stick that Yue Fan waved, raised his left hand and lightly shifted it, only to hear the sound of "bang~", Yue Fan was shocked a few steps away, and then looked at Feng Impermanence, still sitting motionless.
......
ββββββββββββ at this time, Yue Fan's right hand was a little numb, and his chest felt very stuffy. So he stood quietly and performed pranayama according to the method of spitting in the Heart Sutra.
Feng Wuchang thought that Yue Fan was thinking of a way to attack, so he didn't bother him, but waited quietly, after all, it didn't take much effort to deal with such a teenager, and it would be more time to give him more time to look like he was magnificent.
Feng Wuchang didn't say anything, and the others naturally didn't dare to disturb, and they all stayed quietly on the side, while the money shopkeeper was already so frightened that he sat on the ground at this time, not daring to move.
In this way, Yue Fan had plenty of time to breathe, and Xiao Ya'er behind him watched silently.
Although it is not a martial arts masterpiece, and it cannot be practiced internally, it has the miraculous effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and it can be used anytime and anywhere.
Yue Fanjing stood and kept spitting, and his internal organs also recovered quickly with his breathing, and after a while, his physical strength recovered, and he felt that his vitality was unprecedentedly strong, but his left hand was still unconscious.
Yue Fan thought while pranayama: "Now that the enemy is strong, I must keep calm......
Suddenly, Yue Fan moved, carrying a wooden stick like a cheetah. Although this kind of speed is terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, even ordinary people in the rivers and lakes do not have such speed, but in the eyes of a master like Feng Wuchang, he still flashed a trace of appreciation, ready to catch it again. Just as the wooden stick was about to touch, Yue Fan's body suddenly turned sharply, and with illogical movements, he twisted his body to the side, and the wooden stick also changed from a vertical split to a sweep with his twist.
"Huh!" Feng Wuchang was slightly stunned, and surprise flashed in his eyes. At the same time, the sound of wooden sticks breaking through the air was approaching.
If it is an ordinary master at such a close distance, it will definitely have to be next to it, but after all, Feng Wuchang is not only a congenital master, but also has decades of experience in fighting rivers and lakes, how can Yue Fan compare?
"Pengβ"
"Smack!"
With a backhand block, the sticks broke in unison, and the wind impermanence still did not move.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change, and for a moment the whole room was quiet again.
"Hahaha-"
Feng Wuchang laughed loudly: "Okay! Very good! The hero is a boy, and you almost succeeded...... But, alas, now that your weapon is broken, let's replace it all over again. He turned around and was about to speak to the nursing home below, but was interrupted by Yue Fan: "No need, this length is just right." β
Feng Wuchang was stunned again, of course he didn't know that Yue Fan's woodcutter was exactly this length, but when he saw Yue Fan's stubborn face, he didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's start." β
As soon as the words fell, Yue Fan rushed up again, like last time, the speed was very fast, but Yue Fan understood that such a force would definitely not be able to hurt Feng Impermanence, so he suddenly accelerated, and the short stick became more flexible in Yue Fan's hands, and it could continue to change without body twisting, and for a while, the shadow of the stick in the sky was smashed towards Feng Impermanence like a real thing.
"Breakβ"
Yue Fan shouted loudly, and with the cooperation of the stick shadow in the sky, he looked extremely powerful.
"Good time!"
Feng Wuchang looked at the shadow of the stick in the sky and was surprised and excited, sitting on the chair and dancing with his hands against the stick. True and false, false and true, blend together.
"Pong-Pong-Pong-"
The speed of the two of them became faster and faster, and there were bursts of breaking sounds in the shadow of the stick, and the people around them were shocked to hear it.
Yue Fan knew that this was not the way to go on, so his movements became simpler and faster. Under such circumstances, Yue Fan's heart calmed down, and he had no thoughts of fighting, as if he had returned to the time when he was chopping wood, and the tranquility of waving a simple knife technique gradually entered an empty space. If Feng Wuchang knew that Yue Fan treated him as Chai He, I don't know if he would vomit blood in depression?
Seeing that Yue Fan's eyes were clear and there was a trace of essence, Feng Wuchang certainly knew what this meant. I was amazed and surprised, and my dancing hands also sped up.
At this moment, Yue Fan's eyes closed, the wooden stick was withdrawn, his feet kicked violently, and he jumped high...... The powerful momentum exploded in vain! The wooden stick fell, not very fast, but elusive......
The powerful power made Feng Wuchang's brows furrowed, as if he was determined by the spirit to be unable to move, trying to block the wooden stick above his head, but he seemed to have no way to start, his heart was shocked, and he instinctively used all his strength to get rid of the mental restraint and flash to the side.
"Boom-"
With a loud bang, the sticks fell, the wooden chair was smashed, and even a deep crack appeared in the ground under the wooden chair, extending to the corner of the wall.
Shocked, surprised, skeptical, afraid!
All kinds of thoughts surround the hearts of everyone in the house, and the deepest feeling is the impermanence of the wind. He could feel the powerful destructive power just now, especially the moment when he was locked by the spirit. This kind of bizarre exercise rarely appears in the rivers and lakes, and he also heard the master mention it when he was practicing in the Youth Temple, but his master only said two words to him at that time: "dangerous"!
It is conceivable that even the Shaolin monks feel that it is dangerous, and this kind of method is really powerful!
When he came back to his senses, he found that Yue Fan was kneeling on the ground supporting his body, his left hand was hanging down, the wooden stick in his right hand was becoming a little bit of magnificence as if it had been weathered, and Yue Fan's black hair was turning white in a flash, and it was already white hair after a while!
Seeing such a change, everyone suddenly felt very strange in their hearts, just now he was an energetic teenager, and after a moment of work, he turned into a full head of gray hair, and this scene was as weird as it was.
Only Feng Wuchang knew that this was the result of the abnormal consumption of spiritual power and vitality, and he was very angry when he lost face, but when he saw Yue Fan's situation, he admired this brave young man. After all, not everyone has the courage to burn life force. I really lost, and I was convinced of the loss.
"Ah~~"
Shaking his head, Feng Wuchang sighed: "Little brother, you win, let's go, I promise they won't trouble you again in the future." β
Yue Fan raised his head and looked at Feng Impermanence, and nodded at him indifferently, as if everything had nothing to do with him. Slowly stood up, walked to Xiao Ya'er, who was shrunk in the corner of the table, and led her out.
Born with my crazy white hair dyed, I kissed the heart of a young man in the sky.
......
After watching Yue Fan leave, Zhao Tianhua stepped forward and said, "Old Feng, just let them go?"
Feng Wuchang looked at him and said lightly: "This little brother is indeed worthy of admiration, but it is a pity that it will be difficult to develop in the future." After a pause, he said: "He burned his spiritual power and vitality to attack me, making him have gray hair at a young age. Alas~~~" said and shook his head.
Hearing Feng Impermanence say that burning vitality, Zhao Tianhua was shocked in his heart, although he didn't like to practice martial arts since he was a child, but as the richest man in Jiangnan, the son has a wide range of knowledge, of course he knows what it means to burn vitality. To put it simply, it means that the person will not live long.
"Don't trouble him in the future...... Feng Wuchang reminded: "From today on, go back with me to practice martial arts and restrain your virtues." With that, he turned around and left.
After a while, the courtyard was still quiet, but Zhao Tianhua looked fierce, and said unwillingly: "Hmph~, even if this stinky boy is lucky, anyway, he doesn't have much time to live, so be merciful to the young master!"
Immediately, he looked at the money shopkeeper who was paralyzed on the ground and said coldly: "It's really a useless thing, you can carry some for me!"
That's it, and he went away angrily.
......
Is Yue Fan really lucky, the answer is no. No matter who you are, if you burn your life force, you will not feel good, let alone lucky.
Now it is unitary time, the sun has set, Yue Fan led Xiao Ya'er step by step, but the pace became heavier and heavier, Xiao Ya'er felt Yue Fan's hand tightly, and looked at him with concern.
Yue Fan turned his head to respond, nodded lightly at Xiao Ya'er, and seemed to say, "Don't worry, I'm fine!" Seeing the entrance of Liushui Village, he finally couldn't support it anymore and slowly fell forward.
Seeing Yue Fan fall suddenly, Xiao Ya'er was even more panicked, lying on the side and shaking Yue Fan's body constantly, trying to make him wake up.
But after a while, there was still no response, so Xiao Yaer had to get up and hurriedly run to the end of the village.
......
ββββββββββ inside the thatched house.
The white-haired Yue Fan was lying on the warm bed, and Mr. Wan on the side of the bed closed his eyes, quietly put his hand on his pulse, and frowned.
After a long time, Mr. Wan slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh, covered Yue Fan with a quilt, and then got up and walked out of the inner room.
Outside the house, after Li Tan heard the news brought by Xiao Ya'er, he hurriedly got up and hurried over, because he didn't know what Yue Fan's situation was, he could only walk back and forth anxiously outside the house, while Xiao Ya'er squatted on the side with her knees crossed, tears filling her eyes.
Seeing Mr. Wan come out, Li Tan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, how is Xiao Fan?" Xiao Ya'er also hurriedly ran up and kept pulling the corners of Mr. Wan's clothes.
Looking at Li Tan and then at Xiao Ya'er, Mr. Wan shook his head and said: "Xiao Fan's current situation is very bad, his internal organs have been injured, the meridians of his left hand have been broken, and his left hand will not be able to use his strength in the future, this is nothing, after all, there is still a right hand." But now his vitality is very weak, and there is a strange gas in his body, I don't know what's going on, if it weren't for the strange gas in his body wandering, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on for a long time. Alas~~~" After finishing speaking, there was another long sigh.
Hearing that Yue Fan was so seriously injured, Li Tan suddenly saw that the sky was dark for a while, and he remembered that he had been dependent on each other for more than ten years, from a nursing baby to a sturdy teenager, and remembered that he was still in good spirits to hunt yesterday, but now he was going to live and die, this kind of blow, this kind of pain, not anyone can bear it.
Holding back the grief in his heart, Li Tan's hoarse voice trembled a little, and asked, "Sir, is there any way to heal it?" β
Mr. Wan nodded and said, "Yes, there are two ways." Hearing Mr. Wan's answer, Li Tan perked up and looked at Mr. Wan with hope.
"The first way is to use the purple spirit flower as medicine to restore Yue Fan's vitality. According to legend, this medicine is dark purple all over the body, with seven petals, growing in the deep mountains with sufficient aura, it is difficult to find, and it blooms once in a hundred years, and it will wither after a month, which is very magical, and it is only rumored that it appeared once in the Taizu period, and I also heard the old doctors mention it when I was an official before. There's no time to wait now, so it's impossible to use the Purple Spirit Flower as medicine. Mr. Wan shook his head.
After hearing this, Li Tan's heart was cold: "Yes, where can I find such a magical herb." Then he cautiously asked, "What about the second way?"
Knowing that Li Tan was anxious, Mr. Wan continued: "There is another way to break the acupuncture point with the golden needle in the "Medical Classic Thaumaturgy", this method is taboo in medical arts, and it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
The method of breaking acupuncture points is to use gold needles to pierce the 720 acupuncture points of the whole body, so as to connect the meridians of the whole body and stimulate the vitality of the body. However, although this method can make all the veins clear, because there are no acupuncture points in the body, it is impossible to practice qi, and it will not be able to cultivate internal strength in the future. β
Li Tan hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have internal strength, as long as you can live, it's stronger than anything else." β
Mr. Wan said: "If it were just like this, I would have applied the needle a long time ago, but it is not as simple as you think." The golden needle breaking is called a forbidden technique, which is naturally more concealed than beneficial.
These 720 acupuncture points are distributed all over the body, and each acupuncture point involves different nerves, so every time a golden needle is punctured, it will be extremely painful or itchy, making people crazy, and people who can't stand it will die of pain, and those who are not strong in mind will become dementia even if they succeed. So the old man hesitated, and only discussed with you, after all, Xiaofan is your child. β
After being stunned for a long time, Li Tan suddenly raised his head, and said to Mr. Wan with a sad but firm face: "Please give Mr. Shi Needle, I watched Xiaofan grow up, I know that he is very strong, and I believe that he will be able to withstand it this time." If...... If there is any accident, it is fate. Tears fell down his face. Men don't flick when they have tears, let alone strong hunters.
Looking at Li Tan, Mr. Wan's heart was full of admiration. Sometimes, it takes courage to choose!, so he nodded and turned to walk inside, "I'll do my best." β
......
