A thief who succeeded unexpectedly, and an accomplice who was on the lookout, traveled over the mountains and ridges, fled far away from the Black Pine Valley, and hid in the mountains, feeling both terrified and proud. Wei Shiqi thought of the distant past, and this feeling was just like being kidnapped in the examination room.
After breathing for a while, Wei Shiqi cleaned the animal skin in the stream, put it up to his nose and smelled it. There was still a bit of fishy smell, but it was bearable. He maliciously guessed what the old bear was using the hide for. The green wolf was surrounding him impatiently, sometimes tugging at the corners of his clothes, and sometimes nudging him with its nose. It was completely devoid of its previous reserve, just like a little dog asking for pampering.
Wei Shiqi knew what it wanted. He immediately spread the animal skin on the ground, pointed out human figures to it one by one, and explained in detail with gestures. The green wolf was originally somewhat spiritual. The behavior of the old bear in the Black Pine Valley can be understood immediately after turning around. It looked up at the sky, a little impatient.
After getting this piece of animal skin for free, Wei Shiqi was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. He wanted to see the results of Qing Lang's training. If there was no serious problem, he might as well give it a try. This may not be the best plan, but instead of pinning your hopes on some vague possibility, it is better to choose the change you have.
When dusk fell, a bright moon passed through the thin clouds and hung upright in the sky. The green wolf could no longer hold back and jumped onto the cliff, imitating the human shape on the animal skin and squatting there. Sitting there, he looked up at the moonlight and opened his mouth.
That way, he looks really stupid and naive.
After a stalemate for a moment, Qing Lang swallowed Yuehua in one gulp. After waiting for a long time, there was no reaction, so he opened his mouth again and continued to swallow hard. Wei Shiqi couldn't help laughing when he remembered the legend of the Tengu eating the moon.
After posing for a long time, with his mouth wide open, his jaw sore, his saliva drooling, his limbs numb, and almost unsteady, Qing Lang braced himself up, jumped off the cliff, and spotted a big The tree arched its back and hit it. With a "pop" sound, Green Wolf fell to the ground, whining in pain and unable to get up for a while.
It is really not easy to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and cultivate to perfection. Wei Shiqi lowered his head and thought, when the green wolf swallowed the moonlight, his body did not expand like the old bear. In other words, the first step was not successful.
However, how can we swallow Yuehua into our body? Wei Shiqi turned the animal skin over and over, looking horizontally, vertically, upright, upside down, and over, but he still couldn't figure out the key to it.
After lying on the ground and resting for a while, the green wolf continued to climb up the cliff, tirelessly repeating the process of swallowing the moonlight and hitting the tree with his back. It was not until dawn that he lay down weakly in the grass, with his back The scars are numerous and horrific. Wei Shiqi knew why it was so desperate. He just watched quietly from the side without trying to stop it.
After panting for a long time, Qing Lang struggled to get up, nodded to Wei Shiqi, staggered and disappeared into the forest.
Wei Shiqi figured out the direction, returned to the foot of Laoya Ridge, filled his stomach randomly, and fell asleep. in black pineThe valley was guarded for more than ten days, and even the iron-clad man could not hold on. It was an extremely sweet sleep. It was already mid-night when I woke up. A full moon hung high in the sky, shining brightly everywhere, as if it were covered with a layer of silver.
Wei Shiqi drank a few bowls of salt tea, opened the animal skin, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that there was no oversight. He stood up and found a huge stone to sit on, facing the moonlight, and took a deep breath. Breathe, slowly open your mouth. He imagined that the moonlight flowed into his mouth like water, swallowed a little, and went straight down his throat to his Dantian. After repeating it several times, there was nothing strange in his body. He knew in his heart that something was wrong. The first step was not successful. There was no need to imitate the green wolf and foolishly hit the tree.
In the following days, Wei Shiqi changed his posture, meditated, and repeatedly tried to swallow the moonlight, but no matter how hard he tried, there was no progress. He went into the mountains to look for the green wolf. The green wolf was haggard and in even worse spirits than he was. Apparently he also encountered the same problem.
Is it because the method is wrong, or is there a lack of something called talent? Since that old bear in Black Pine Valley can practice, Wei Qiqi had a vague feeling that the reason was most likely the latter.
He quickly pushed this disappointing thought out of his mind.
There were still three days left before the date set by Deng Zhang. Wei Shiqi temporarily put aside the cultivation matters, packed his bags, brought hunting forks, bows and arrows, and first went to Kutenggou to visit Lao Liutou and Mu. lotus. Lao Liutou's feet can already go to the ground. At last, his muscles and bones are not injured, and he still has a slight limp when walking. Mulian was filled with joy when she saw Wei Shiqi. Thanks to his help last time in Xinyang Town, he lent her the money from selling animal skins, so she was able to collect enough money to buy rice and salt, boiled a plaster and took it home to cure her father. feet.
Wei Shiqi sat down and chatted for a few words, and mentioned that he had encountered a good deal in Xinyang Town. Someone hired him to go into the mountains to hunt black bears and obtain bear bile. Mulian interrupted and said that the man was the housekeeper of Zhao Yuan's house in Shangguanqiao, his surname was Deng. Old Liu Tou was surprised. He had heard of Deng's abacus name, and kept saying that this was a big business and he could not be negligent. Wei Shiqi set off quickly.
There was plenty of time. Wei Shiqi sat down for a while again and settled down to go on the road. In the evening, he came to Xinyang Town and found an inn to stay. The next day, he walked around Xiapu Bridge and went to the blacksmith shop to make a dozen arrow clusters and put them on the prepared arrow shafts. He also customized a cow-ear scimitar and agreed to pick it up early the next morning. As long as good steel and iron are useful, price is not an issue. The blacksmith was worried that business was slow and he didn't have enough food for this month. When he saw the happy customer, he agreed and urged his apprentice to pull the bellows, then he picked up the hammer and started making tinkling sounds.
After having dinner at Dongxing Restaurant and going back to the inn to sleep, Wei Shiqi heard the news and went to Zhao Yuan's house and asked to see Deng Zhang, the housekeeper. Deng Zhang was quite pleased and felt that he was interested. He introduced Wei Shiqi to his bear hunting companions, two nearby hunters, four guards, and two healthy servants. As for his distant nephew who worshiped under the sect of Xiandu, it is said that he He was meditating in the room but did not appear.
Deng Zhang asked the kitchen to bring a banquet, drank a few glasses of wine with him, and left first. Everyone was joking and talking to each other with some drunkenness.When I became familiar with them, especially the four guards, they thought very highly of themselves and always showed off their skills at hand. Wei Shiqi only drank and ate meat, and did not interrupt much. He looked on with cold eyes. Except for a healthy servant named Yue, the rest of the group were mediocre. But then again, in front of that cruel old bear, they all He is a scumbag with a combat power of only 5...
After having enough wine and food, everyone dispersed to rest. Wei Shiqi said goodbye to Deng Zhang and returned to the inn to think quietly.
It has been five or six years since he came to this world. On the surface, he is still the son of a cheap daddy, a member of Kutenggou, and a valued descendant of the old Liutou family. However, , he has no feelings for the people and things in this world. After taking care of his father's funeral, he decisively left Kutenggou and lived alone at the foot of Laoya Ridge. This was a subconscious decision to make a clean break with the past, cut off all possible ties, and start over.
He no longer thinks about the past, and waits alone for something to happen. If given the opportunity, he is willing to take a big gamble, even at the risk of his life.
Through the thin door panel, there was a burst of noise and commotion. In this small inn, everyone had worked hard for more than ten days in a big pot called "Human World" Roaring, those sounds sounded a little distant, but so clear, hitting his eardrums, making no sense. Wei Shiqi closed his eyes and thought: "Living is a practice game. I have a big and hard heart."
