Chapter 12: Stubbornness
Mo Youfeng is undulating, with a radius of nearly 100 miles. The main peak of Moxian Peak is even more towering into the clouds, reaching into the sky. Through the curling clouds, you can clearly see the white snow from the belly of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which shows the height of the mountain.
However, on top of this cliff, two tiny figures were slowly moving upward, these two figures were tall and short, their high steps were like flying, they looked effortless, and their faces were calm as usual, and the short one was already faltering, shaking three times.
Needless to say, this tall one is Zeng Ruijin, the first disciple of Mo Youfeng, and this short one is Lin Yizhi.
Now the two of them have slowly approached the top of Mo Wei Peak. There are no living creatures in front of me, and the scene of red flowers and green trees on the belly of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain is long gone. Instead, there is an infinite white snow, and the boundless white seems to cover the sky, telling the eternal coldness.
In his ears, the cold wind was whistling, and this cold seemed to be able to freeze people's breath, and this cruel and harsh environment made Lin Yizhi's every step as difficult as stepping over a mountain.
Lin Yizhi's face was pale, his lips were purple, if it weren't for the dignity of struggling with himself, I am afraid that he would have fallen on this unchanging, cold white snow.
Zeng Ruijin had a calm expression, as if the changes in front of him were like child's play, but Fang Cai was now a white world, in his opinion, this was no different from the usual leisurely stroll.
After walking for a while, Zeng Ruijin looked back at Lin Yizhi, only to find that Lin Yizhi had fallen far away, and from his point of view, where the white expanse was about to disappear, a black dot was moving slowly and hard, and that was Lin Yizhi.
Zeng Ruijin had to stand in the snow and wait for him. Although Lin Yizhi walked extremely hard and slowly, judging from the slow movement of the black dots, Lin Yizhi kept forcing himself not to stop.
Zeng Ruijin couldn't help but sigh secretly, my little junior brother's mind is really the best choice of nine stars, when he climbed Mo Yu Peak for the first time, he climbed for three days and two nights.
Zeng Ruijin waited for a while, and when he saw Lin Yizhi suddenly speeding up, he knew that Lin Yizhi was afraid that when he saw him standing there waiting, he couldn't help it, and forced himself to move faster.
Breathing was extremely poor, there was only the sound of buzzing wind in his ears, and he didn't feel anything else, even in this ice and snow, Lin Yizhi couldn't feel what was cold, he didn't know how long he could last, he didn't know if he would fall down or still hold on in the next moment.
Lin Yizhi finally stiffened up and came to Zeng Ruijin's approach, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said in an extremely weak voice: "Senior brother, I'm afraid it's not far away." ”
Zeng Ruijin nodded, and said with some distress: "Little junior brother, it's better to rest for a while." ”
Lin Yizhi still waved his hand with difficulty and said: "I've dragged my senior brother to the cold, it's okay, let's hurry to the top of the mountain, I still have to move the Heavenly Immortal Stone." ”
Zeng Ruijin knew that although this little junior brother was young, he was an extremely persistent person, and when he saw him like this, he had to shake his head, suddenly pressed Lin Yizhi's shoulder, turned his body around, and then slapped him on the back.
Lin Yizhi didn't know what the senior brother was going to do with this sudden action, and when he was stunned for a moment, he felt that Zhou's body gradually became warmer, and a vigorous and warm true qi continued to swim in his body, Lin Yizhi's tiredness suddenly disappeared a lot, and he felt that his breathing was much smoother, and he knew that the senior brother couldn't bear him to suffer so much, and he crossed his true qi with him. Lin Yizhi's heart was warm.
Zeng Ruijin was sending true qi to Lin Yizhi, and suddenly felt that the true qi in his body suddenly became extremely manic, as if there were signs of chaos, and this true qi was almost all towards his palm, Zeng Ruijin had never encountered this kind of situation, he was horrified, and he hurriedly collected his true qi, and looked at Lin Yizhi with a puzzled face.
Lin Yizhi saw that Senior Brother looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother, why are you looking at me like this?"
Zeng Ruijin came back to his senses at this time, and pondered for a while before saying, "Little junior brother, in addition to this Freedom from Worries and Infinite Dao, have you practiced any other Qi Condensation Method?"
Lin Yi's heart chuckled, could it be that Senior Brother Fei saw that he had practiced the Yin Li Sect's Qi Condensation Method? No, all of his cultivation in this area was carried out in the dead of night, and last night was his first night at Mo Youfeng, and the others were all cultivated by him at Lu Yun's mountain gate! But if he didn't see it, how could he have such a question?
Lin Yi's heart had already flashed a variety of thoughts, but he just secretly lowered his mind and said with a sincere face: "No, senior brother, I only saw the Sorrow Wuji Dao last night, where else have you practiced in Fengling Village before?"
Zeng Ruijin is an honest person, but he believes in Lin Yizhi's words, because Master Zun also said that his parents died, but it was just the vision just now, I am afraid that it is because the dantian in the junior brother's body is weird, and he needs to absorb a lot of true qi to warm his body.
After Zeng Ruijin figured out this section, he smiled and said, "How does the little junior brother feel now?"
Lin Yizhi stood up, and really felt a lot better, so he said: "Thank you, senior brother, I'm much better, let's go to the top of the mountain." ”
Zeng Ruijin smiled and said: "Okay, but junior brother, this time I will follow you, next time you start, you will have to go up the mountain alone, you dantian...... So you have to work harder than others, and if you can't persevere, don't force it. ”
Lin Yizhi saw that the senior brother was indeed out of concern for himself, so he nodded hurriedly, and the two continued to walk up.
Perhaps it was because of the support of the elder brother's true qi, Lin Yizhi seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and the two walked for another two and a half hours, and finally came to the peak of this Mo Wei Peak.
This is a world of ice and snow, and the thickness of the snow has reached an unimaginable level, as if it was frozen thousands of years ago. The snow is boundless, countless ice crystals reflect the light, and the whole white world gives people a thrilling splendor.
On the thick ice cliff, Lin Yizhi suddenly discovered countless blue, fist-sized dark blue points of light under the cover of the snow, flashing with a beautiful blue brilliance.
One point, two points, three points, countless points of faint blue light, one after another, as if this cliff is no longer a cliff, but a galaxy intertwined with countless blue stars, becoming deep and mysterious.
What is that? Lin Yizhi couldn't help but be very curious, the strength of his already tired body came from nowhere, and he actually ran towards the cliff that flashed with countless blue points of light, and only found it when he got closer. It turned out to be a fist-sized stone that emitted a deep blue light, and the blue of the stone was beating on the smooth stone surface as if it had life, and it was fascinating.
"That's the Heavenly Immortal Stone!" Zeng Ruijin didn't react like Lin Yizhi, he was the longest beginner, and he had already seen this Heavenly Immortal Stone countless times, so his voice was calm.
"This is the Heavenly Immortal Stone, so beautiful, but how can it be called such a gloomy name, Immortal! Lin Yizhi said with great admiration.
Only a young man like him still has the heart to appreciate this stone in this icy Jedi.
Zeng Ruijin smiled and said, "What does the little junior brother think this stone is called?"
Lin Yizhi thought about it, looked at the stone again, the faint blue light illuminated his entire pupil, he pondered for a while, and said: "Looking at this stone, the blue light makes people throw away a lot of distracting thoughts and sorrows in their hearts, and this stone is only available in our Mo Youfeng, so it is better to call it Mo Yu Stone." ”
Zeng Ruijin laughed and said: "Don't worry about the stone, but when you move him down the mountain for a while, you will know, it won't make you worry, I'm afraid it will make you sad." ”
Lin Yiyi said with a smile: "This stone is only the size of a fist, I have one in one hand, and I can move two pieces down the mountain at a time, why is it difficult." ”
Zeng Ruijin smiled and said: "Okay, you try it yourself here, I am already a cultivator of the Jindan Realm, this kind of cultivation is not beneficial to me, I will go back to find the senior mother and them first, little junior brother, you have to rely on your own strength here alone, if you can't do it, you can rest, although our Mo Youfeng's homework is three stones, but no one will punish you if you can't finish it, as long as you rush back before dinner." ”
Lin Yizhi smiled and shook his hand and said, "Senior brother, it's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, it won't take so long, I can return in the afternoon." ”
Zeng Ruijin only smiled and didn't say anything, only to see an earthy yellow fairy sword appear under his feet, Zeng Ruijin jumped on the fairy sword and said, "Little junior brother, in this case, I will leave first." ”
Lin Yizhi nodded and said, "Senior brother, Senior Brother Chu Xiao's immortal sword is called Asking Heart, what about yours?"
Zeng Ruijin said with a smile: "This is a fairy sword that Shizun used when he was young, and it is called Guichen when I stepped into the Jindan period. ”
Lin Yizhi was full of envy, and secretly wondered when he would be able to get the fairy sword given to him by his master, and when he looked up again, Zeng Ruijin had already risen to the sky with the fairy sword, and there was only a distant back left.
Lin Yizhi saw that the senior brother had gone away, let out a long sigh, and sat down in the snow, he was actually already tired, but the senior brother was beside him, but he refused to show it.
Lin Yizhi looked at the long white world, the monotonous and cold white in front of him made his eyes a little dizzy, and he gasped for a while before he reluctantly stood up in the cold wind.
In the white sky, a person, a shadow, a world.
Lin Yizhi came to the front of the Heavenly Immortal Stone, took a closer look, and found that although this stone was on this cliff, it was not the stone of the cliff itself, and with a little force, a dark blue Heavenly Immortal Stone the size of a fist fell under his feet, making a dull "bang" sound.
"Huh?" Lin Yizhi immediately rushed to something unusual, judging from the volume of this Heavenly Immortal Stone, it was impossible to make such a sound. Lin Yizhi knew that this Heavenly Immortal Stone was by no means as simple as it looked, so he secretly used the Yin Li Sect's Qi Condensation Technique, completely gathered the absorbed True Qi on his arm, and then stretched out his hand towards the Heavenly Heavenly Immortal Stone.
But as soon as he came into contact with this Heavenly Immortal Stone, this Heavenly Immortal Stone was as fragile as glass, and it was torn apart with a snap. "Hmm, what the hell is going on? Why is Yin Li Zong's Qi Condensation Method, just touched the Heavenly Immortal Stone, but it shattered, the senior brothers said that this Heavenly Immortal Stone is an excellent material for refining the Immortal Sword, it can't be so fragile!"
Could it be that it was the reason for my Qi Condensation Method, that the Heavenly Immortal Stone couldn't withstand the impact of the True Qi from his hand and collapsed?
Lin Yizhi had no choice, so he picked out a piece of Heavenly Immortal Stone again, this time he didn't use any True Qi Internal Force, grabbed the stone with one right hand, and held it hard, this Heavenly Immortal Stone was as if it had grown on the ground, and it didn't move at all.
Lin Yizhi was stunned for a moment, what is going on?My strength in the Trial Hall is enough to grab the third boulder sword, this little Heavenly Immortal Stone may not be able to pick it up?
Lin Yizhi did not give up, and grabbed the Heavenly Immortal Stone with both hands at the same time, and used all his strength, but the stone still did not move.
At this time, Lin Yizhi's head was three times bigger. How should this be good, with the Yin Li Sect's method of condensing qi, the stone will be shattered this day, you can't take this stone back, you don't need to use the true qi This stone doesn't even move, what should be the time.
Lin Yi was at a loss, pedaling back and forth around the stone, and suddenly remembered that he would still leave the Sorrow Infinite Dao, although the Sorrowful Infinite Dao is not even heavy now, and the true qi in the body is also pitiful, but it is better than nothing.
So Lin Yizhi secretly used the internal force of his body and the pitiful true qi in the dantian, forced this air flow into his right arm, and then grabbed the Heavenly Immortal Stone hard, and roared, this Heavenly Immortal Stone seemed to be a shy married girl, and was slowly picked up by Lin Yizhi, but Lin Yizhi only felt like he had grasped a thousand catties of heavy burden in his hands, gritted his teeth and worked hard, so he could stand up straight, and he almost lost his strength. But this day, the Immortal Stone could only be held upside down by Lin Yizhi, and when he got the distance between his legs, he could no longer go up.
In an instant, Lin Yizhi's face changed greatly, and beads of sweat immediately flowed down. Not only was it extremely heavy, but there was an extremely cold feeling from the palm of the hand holding the Heavenly Immortal Stone, which was so cold that Lin Yizhi only felt the coldness of his entire body.
Lin Yizhi was shocked, he didn't expect the little Heavenly Immortal Stone to be so weird, and hurriedly and secretly used the first layer of the Separation Worry Wuji Dao technique to absorb this already scarce heaven and earth aura, and after a while, the true qi in the dantian barely gathered a trace, and a trace of warmth swam through Lin Yizhi's body.
In this way, Lin Yizhi slowly moved his steps, moving towards the mountain step by step.
The cold wind is like a knife! The mountain road is difficult to walk, in this white world with no end in sight, Lin Yizhi walked step by step with difficulty, the huge heaviness had already made him soaked, the cold wind blew, the sweat immediately formed ice slag, so I don't know whether it was cold or hot, he still walked with such difficulty, moving, moving little by little.
One Foot ...... Two feet....... this is his speed, but even at this speed, he doesn't know how long he can hold on. The wind blew stronger and stronger, raising the snow on the ground, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was not at any time that snowflakes had begun to fall.
Lin Yizhi walked like that, he was already on the verge of exhaustion, he could clearly hear his already overwhelmed heart pounding, every time he jumped, he felt the boundless weight hit his already fragile will, making him almost want to throw away this huge Heavenly Immortal Stone in the next moment.
Even if it was so difficult, he still had to spare his energy to use the technique of the Freedom from Worries to resist the bone-piercing cold emitted by the Heavenly Immortal Stone, so he still walked persistently.
He didn't know how long he could hold on, but he had a strong belief in his heart that as long as he hadn't fallen, he would go on so stubbornly, even if it was moving down inch by inch, he wouldn't give up.
The vast Mo Youfeng was speechless at this time, as if the mountain was also shocked by Lin Yizhi's tenacity, but with the incomparably cold wind and the snowflakes drifting in the sky, it was clear that this was still its territory.
A ten-year-old thin boy, just like this, slowly moved, moving, every step he took, as if he saw the most beautiful picture in the world to be able to step this foot, just like that.
The snow fell silently, slapping the thin body of this lonely young man, and finally he couldn't hold on any longer, and when it was dark in front of him, he still fell down with a soft foot.
It's just that at the moment of falling, he still held tightly the Heavenly Immortal Stone in his hand, which brought him boundless admiration and pain.
Do you want to give up? Do you want to admit defeat? Lin Yizhi, who was in a trance, asked his soul countless times, give up, this is unfair to himself, and the others are senior brothers, although they also practice this lesson, but no one's true qi will be less than those in his own body, and no one's cultivation will be lower than his own. And no one will be younger than their own, and because of this, they will be quite relaxed. But he is different, he has tried his best, and he has been tortured to cry without tears.
Just give it up, and no one will say anything.
However, an extremely contemptuous word sounded in his heart, "Talent...... The biggest mediocrity since the founding of the Sorrow Sect!" The voice pierced through his dignity like a pinprick, and he suddenly became clear again, I am not a memorial talent! I don't accept my fate! I can't even do this, how can I prove that I am not a mediocre talent?
Thinking about it, tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes, as if he had made a big decision, his eyes suddenly closed tightly, and his whole body moved, but this movement was completely different from before, before he was standing, but now he was lying.
He just let his body go, rolling down and down the thick snowy mountain road, rolling all the way and not stopping......
Bursts of snow flakes rose from the corners of his clothes, and some cold snow flakes rubbed into his clothes, and he didn't care, there were many sharp and sharp stones buried in the snow, and when he rolled down, the sharp tips of the stones cut through his clothes, and then pierced into his body fiercely, and in a few moments he was covered in bruises. He still doesn't care, he just never stops rolling. Let more snow flakes fly, and in the flying, there is also red blood flowing from his body.
It's just that the road seems endless......
............
The night was already deep, and all the people in Mo Youfeng's dining hall had already arrived, and Lu Wujian sat in the right seat without saying a word, because he had already discovered that the fifth disciple who was the most unsuccessful did not come.
After waiting for a long time, the food on the table had already been heated twice by Duan Langkun, and even Mu Yuqiu's face showed an anxious look. And nine-year-old Lu Xiyue has already shouted that she is hungry and hungry several times.
Lu Wujian couldn't wait any longer, and said in a deep voice: "Zeng Ruijin ......"
Zeng Ruijin was already sweating profusely, and when he heard Shizun calling him, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Master." ”
"What about the fifth child, it's been such a time, why haven't you come back yet?" Lu Wujian said with anger suppressed.
Zeng Ruijin knew that his master was already angry, and hurriedly responded cautiously: "Master Rong, I went to Mo Youfeng with my junior brother earlier today, and when I walked halfway, I was afraid that my junior brother would not be able to support it and lose his true qi to him, and it was already past noon when we reached the peak, and then, according to the usual practice, I went back to the practice room by myself, and when I left, I also told the little junior brother to let him do what he could, don't delay the time for dinner......"
When Lu Wujian heard this, he slapped his palm on the dining table, and the dining table was shattered, and the sparse food plates were scattered on the ground. Lu Wujian angrily pointed at Zeng Ruijin and said: "Routine! Who gave you your routine! The others are just that, don't you know that the old five dantian can't condense true qi? You still let him be there alone!"
Zeng Ruijin had never seen Shizun lose such a big temper, so he was so frightened that he knelt down in a hurry, and he didn't dare to come out.
When the disciples saw that the master was angry, they were all silent, and even Lu Xiyue was so frightened that they didn't move.
Mu Yuqiu hurriedly pulled Lu Wuji, and then hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, this is not the time to lose your temper, Ruijin, you get up, and blame Shizun for not telling you about the situation of your fifth junior brother, wait for a quarter of an hour, if you don't come back, you and your junior brothers will drive the flying sword to Mo Youfeng to find it." ”
When Lu Wujian heard this, the boss was dissatisfied, but when he saw that it was his wife, he didn't dare to speak out, so he had to mutter: "Why don't I make it clear, at the time of the trial, it's not that I didn't see it!"
While everyone was cleaning up the broken dishes, Mu Yuqiu pulled Lu Wuji's hand and said in a low voice: "Haven't you been very disgusted with Lin Yizhi since you knew that there was this, and you have been calling him a wild boy, rotten wood can't be carved or something, how can you move so much today." ”
Lu Wujian didn't know what was going on in his heart, but he said: "No matter how bad it is, it's also my disciple......"
The voice fell, only to feel that there was silence in the room, Lu Wujian didn't know what was going on, raised his head and looked at the door of the canteen, just like everyone's eyes, he couldn't turn anymore, only stared straight at the door of the canteen.
I saw a man standing at the door of the dining hall, with a mantle, his clothes already in tatters, already stained with blood, dripping with blood. His body trembled violently, his breathing was heavy and hoarse, but in his two hands he was clutching two things, which glowed faintly blue in the night.
This man stood like that, and everyone in the dining hall also stood like that, no one spoke, for a long time, only to hear the very deep voice of the person at the door: "Master...... Shi Niang....... Yizhi came back late......"
