Chapter 5: Fleeing the city in the middle of the night
Zheng Dong walked in the ruins of earth and stone, turning over the corpses on the ground from time to time to see if there were any survivors, the bluestone town that lasted for hundreds of years collapsed half under the ravages of the demon ape, because to test the demonic qi, the thousands of residents in the town were all concentrated in the town square, and now they were either smashed by the sleeping death gangfeng, or the demon qi that was exploded exploded in the internal organs, and none of the thousands of households in the town plus the yacha gang were alive.
The only thing that frustrated Zheng Dong was that he didn't find Pan Shao's body, thinking that he might also fall into a crack in the ground, under the ravages of the demon ape's demonic aura, the earth cracked dozens of cracks, shallow one or two meters deep like the kind where Zheng Dong lived, deep black and bottomless, even if he knew that Pan Shaozhen fell, he didn't have the ability to get it.
After searching for most of the day, there was a huge package at Zheng Dong's feet, which was full of small silver tickets scattered with silver and some jewelry and gold ornaments, and the people in Qingshi Town were all dead, and the property left behind naturally became ownerless. ”
The small amount of silver in the baggage, the gold and silver are as much as five or six thousand taels, this is because there are not many rich and rich families in the town, and most of them use copper coins to trade, if Zheng Dong collects those copper coins, the amount is ten times this, but considering the difficulty of collection, it is not convenient to carry, so it is a pity to give up.
Seeing that the sun was slanting westward and approaching dusk, Zheng Dong found a horse in a house on the outskirts of the town that was affected by every touch, put on the frame, put the burden containing gold and silver on the carriage, he drove the car to the direction of Sangzi County, and when night fell, Zheng Dong parked the carriage in the woods about a mile away from the county seat, dug a hole in the ground with a waist knife, hid the package containing gold and silver, and covered it with weeds, believing that it would not be seen in the dark sky, and then sneaked in the direction of the county seat.
At this time, the city gate has been closed, but Sangzi County is only the county seat, the city wall is only five meters high, with Zheng Dong's skills, just the toes tap the ground, the whole person has easily crossed the wall, along the way, Zheng Dong deliberately walked the remote path, when he met passers-by, it was more conducive to the building to cover the body, so he walked and stopped back to the residence.
The door was locked, and the window was directly covered with a thick quilt, Zheng Dong lit the candle in the house, and came to his father's tablet, Zheng Dong lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, looked at his father's tablet and whispered: "Dad, the son of Sangzi County can't stay anymore, the battle of Qingshi Town, everyone, including the county lieutenant, is dead, only I am alive, if it is known, I will definitely use all means to get the secret on my body, whether I say it or not, I am a dead end, but Dad, don't worry, as long as the child is successful, he will come back." After saying this, Zheng Dong bowed three times to his father's tablet.
After doing this, Zheng Dong moved away from the wooden bed where he was sleeping, pried up a square brick at the foot of the bed, revealing a black iron box underneath, and opened the lid of the box with a brilliant golden light, and there were twenty gold leaves and a white jade pendant.
Those gold leaves weigh one tael each, equivalent to two thousand taels of silver, which is all the net worth that Zheng Dong and his father have accumulated over the years, as for the pendant, according to his father, it was left by Zheng Dong's mother, it is strange to say, my father never told me about my mother's parents, every time I asked when I was a child, I would provoke my father to be angry, and finally beat myself up, and my father drank and cried afterwards, and over time I didn't dare to ask my mother.
Zheng Dong remembered that the prison spirit said that the prison of heaven and earth is stored in his own bloodline, and the genealogy records that the ancestors of the Zheng family have been ordinary mortals for more than ten generations, and his special bloodline is likely to be inherited from his mother's family.
Take off the fast hunting clothes on your body and change them into a casual samurai uniform, a palm-wide cowhide plate belt is tied around the waist, the inside of the belt is a row of secret mouths, the twenty gold leaves are inserted in it, the errand clothes that have been taken off are folded and put into the iron box, the lid of the box is buckled to press the square bricks, and the wooden bed is returned to its original position, and finally the candle is extinguished, and the quilt covering the window is removed and leaves the residence directly, he wanted to take his father's tablet away, considering that someone may come to his house to check, knowing that he is not dead is trouble after all.
On the official road leveled by the loess, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly, and the driver of the carriage was shrouded in a gray cloth cloak, wearing a sunshade hat on his head, and holding a horsewhip in his arms, as if he was napping there, but if you looked closely, you would see that the cloak he was wearing would swell and contract every few breaths, as if he were pulsating to breathe.
This coachman is Zheng Dong who escaped from Sangzi County overnight, according to the record of "Six Flames True Fire Decision", if you want to practice this method with half the effort, you must find a land with a rich fire element, although Zheng Dong has never left the boundary of Chunzhou Mansion, but he has long heard that there is a flame volcano in the west according to this more than 6,000 miles away, it is said that this mountain does not grow grass and trees are red all over the body, and the smoke is billowing all year round, and the more you go inside, the higher the temperature.
On the way to the car, Zheng Dong did not let go of his cultivation, although there was no Huo Yuan assistance, but he had a small Pei Yuan Dan for huàn, after swallowing a small Pei Yuan Dan, Zheng Dong immediately became a tragedy, according to the explanation given by the altar, Xiao Pei Yuan Dan can increase a small amount of true qi, which is a low-grade pill taken during the Qi training period.
A small amount, the word low-level is aimed at qi practitioners, in fact, a small Pei Yuan Dan can be sold for thirteen to fifteen low-grade spirit stones in the cultivation world, and low-level qi practitioners who are generally not rich in wealth are only willing to take it when they rush to a small bottleneck, and the spiritual power contained in it is still too strong for Zheng Dong, thanks to his long-term martial arts practice, his body is still quite strong, and if he is an ordinary person, he has long been filled with manic spiritual power.
The raging spiritual power was running around in Zheng Dong's body, and the meridians were broken and repaired by the aura, and the feeling was like being cut by a thousand knives, and ordinary people would have fainted in pain, but fortunately, Zheng Dong was very strong-willed, and he gritted his teeth in a daze, and according to the tricks recorded in the Six Flames True Fire Decision, he gathered the manic spiritual power and tried to convert it into fire attribute true qi.
The first step of qi cultivation is to sense one's own spiritual root, according to the practice record Zheng Dong pinched the trick with both hands, and the cultivation mantra of the Six Flames True Fire Decisive flowed over and over again in his heart: the dantian qi is warm, the kidneys are like soup frying, the qi is veined, and the fire of the dan Chinese martial arts is refined, to the extreme, to the extreme, to keep quiet, to forget a qiē thinking, to have nothing to do, in a trance, to return to the light with true intentions, and the true qi is lingering......
In the end, Zheng Dong successfully settled down, and the whole consciousness drifted between existence and absence, shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere, the horse pulling the cart did not need to be controlled, and automatically went all the way west, and Zheng Dong under the cloak was more like he was asleep.
With Zheng Dong's entry, five saplings of gold, green, red, and yellow appeared in his consciousness, among which the blue and red saplings were the highest, and he instantly understood that the five saplings corresponded to the five elements spiritual roots in his body.
When Zheng Dong concentrated his consciousness on the red spirit root that represented the fire attribute, the four seas were shocked, and a hundred and ten roots stretched out from under the red sprouts, extending along his body, replacing the original meridians in his body, and the originally raging elixir aura was attracted by these stretched roots, infiltrated into the roots, and was transported into the fire spirit roots.
With the continuous inhalation of the spiritual energy, the sapling representing the fire spirit root grew extremely up, growing from the sapling into a small tree, and then growing into a big tree, one by one the branches were pulled out of the main trunk, and finally differentiated into eighty-five branches, the whole spiritual root tree had no leaves, the branches were bright red and shiny as if they were carved from crystal, as the spiritual power was absorbed more and more, the color of the branches became more and more bright red, and the last faint red mist continued to flow in the spiritual root tree.
With the generation of light red mist, the absorption of the roots of the spirit tree instantly accelerated, and the red mist in the trunk gradually increased and became thicker, under the internal and external sense, Zheng Dong's body underwent earth-shaking changes, a misty red light seeped out from under his cloak, his musculoskeletal, under the action of the red light, gradually changed, the density of bones increased, the muscles became tougher and stronger, and some gray-black impurities were forced out and flowed out along the pores of his body.
At the same time, the fire elements in the outside world were also attracted, most of them were invested in Zheng Dong's body, absorbed and transformed into fire attribute true qi by the spirit root, and a small part poured into the body of the horse pulling the cart, with the continuous injection of the fire element, the originally weak horse, the body slowly swelled, the originally shrunken muscles became stronger, and the gray-black variegated fur also began to change to fire red.
With the withdrawal of the surrounding Huoyuan, wherever Zheng Dong's carriage passed, the air became humid, the dry loess surface became soft and muddy, and even the temperature within 100 meters around the carriage dropped by ten degrees.
The whole process lasted for more than an hour, Zheng Dong woke up from his meditation, as soon as he opened his eyes, he suddenly felt that the whole world was different from before, not only the colors became more bright, but the whole world seemed to come to life, even if it was grass, trees, mountains and stones, he could feel the thin breath of life on it.
In addition, Zheng Dongxian's five senses have also increased several times, not only can he clearly see the insects and ants crawling thousands of meters away, but also can hear the gurgling sound of water from thousands of meters away, and his sense of smell has also been enhanced a lot.
Only then did Zheng Dong notice the thick layer of dirt condensed outside his body, as well as the thin horse, the size of the horse had skyrocketed by half, and the red fur was rippling in the breeze, rippling in a circle of waves, and the rope that had been firmly tied to the cart was also broken by half because of the horse's size skyrocketing.
With a wave of his hand, he broke the remaining reins, Zheng Dong turned around and took out the package containing gold and silver, turned over and rode on the back of the horse, which seemed to know his intentions, and rushed down directly from the side of the official road, galloping away in the direction where the sound of water came from in the distance.
