Chapter 8 Where is the Road
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and under the faint moonlight, there are more than a dozen families living at the foot of Wuxian Mountain. Those who live here are all hunters.
Hu Qihan is a single man. He hunted a big bear during the day and invited his neighbors to come to his house to eat the bear meat. He also asked Old Man Liu to skin the bear for him. Skinning is a technical job, and handling the bear skin is even more particular. As a
Orion, everyone knows how to peel and process skins, but no matter which line of work you do for a long time, there will be differences in skills. There is no doubt that Old Man Liu is outstanding in this line of work. The skins he skinned were intact and the fur he processed was intact.
It's soft and has no smell. So when people in this mountain valley catch big things, they ask him to peel off the leather and process the fur, hoping to sell it at a better price.
After dinner, the neighbors all went home. Hu Qihan finished clearing the remaining tables and was about to wash up and go to sleep. Suddenly he heard someone outside the window shouting in a low voice, "Brother, brother!... I want to find something with you!" He looked up.
, a short-haired man was looking at him outside the window. He didn't recognize him. The window was not high but only his head was exposed. He thought to himself: "Could this be a Zhu Confucian? His head is so short."
The small world is not that big. The Xia family has been destroyed. The Tianwu Sect has gained power. The small world is in turmoil. Countless young people have been captured to serve as soldiers. Many families have been broken up and people have been displaced. Even though Orion is located in a remote place, he has heard about this.
Well, this is probably the case for this person.
The person outside the window was Xue Dong, who had walked in the forest for a whole day and arrived here. He was tired, hungry, and naked, cursing the eighteen generations of monkeys' ancestors all the way. Fortunately, he walked out of the forest before dark, and there were no people on the road.
I have encountered no wild beasts. Except for monkeys, I came to this place where hunters gather without any danger. I looked around and didn't see a piece of clothing anywhere. I couldn't find it even if I tried to steal it. It was already dusk when I got here.
There are people in every house all the time, not to mention that he has never been a thief before, nor does he have the skills to be a thief. How can he dare to see people naked? He has been hiding in the grass behind Hu Qihan's house to feed mosquitoes.
After an hour, I found that there was only one man in this house, so I finally came up with the idea of getting some clothes to wear here.
Hu Qihan didn't have so many ideas in his mind, so he just opened the door and planned to let the people outside in. The people in this small world are simple, not to mention living in this remote place for a long time. If you don't go to the town all year round, you will basically not see other people.
So when Hu Qihan opened the door, he saw a scene like this: a naked man standing outside the window with his long bare legs exposed, but he was not a dwarf. The expression on his face was embarrassing, tired, and pitiful. There was a belt around his waist.
A "skirt" made of grass blades made people suspect that she was actually wearing nothing underneath. It was obvious that she was squatting outside the window earlier. If Xue Dong knew what he was thinking, he would definitely object loudly, "No, I'm inside
She also wore a pair of underwear.”
"Little brother, what are you...?" Hu Qihan was a little overwhelmed by this situation.
"I came from the north, and I encountered bandits on the way who robbed me. They didn't even leave me any clothes," Xue Dong said in a low voice.
"Come in quickly! I'll find something for you to wear." Hu Qihan let Xue Dong into the house and found a pair of linen clothes, which was just fine. They were both about the same figure.
Hu Qihan got out the leftover bear meat that he had eaten earlier. The hungry Xue Dong walked on the mountain road for a day. His stomach was already empty, as if he had never eaten anything before. He wolfed it down. Hu Qihan told him to slow down, for fear that he would choke next moment.
Die here.
Hu Qihan asked about Xue Dong's origin, and Xue Dong honestly told his name, but said that he had escaped from his family because the soldiers were arresting young men, and he was now homeless. He did not say that he came from outside the small world. Regarding the arrests, these were actually his.
I hid in the grass and listened to what some people eating here said. I didn’t know it before coming here. Xia Zhen had only escaped from the small world for a short time at that time, and he didn’t know these things either.
He also learned from Hu Qihan that the Tianwu Sect had established the "Tianwu Kingdom". People who were related to and supported the Xia family were arrested all over the country, and Xia Zhen, the relic of the Xia family, was arrested all over the country.
In order to protect the lives and property of the people of Tianwu Kingdom, they mobilized the people of Tianwu Kingdom to report the Xia family's evildoings and support the Xia family.
Hu Qihan expressed deep sympathy for what Xue Dong said about his experiences. This man in his forties actually shed tears when he heard what Xue Dong had fabricated.
Xue Dong was stunned, "There are still such emotional men in the world. This is a big man in his forties. But Brother Hu, I can't tell you that I came from the outside world. Tianwumen will arrest me."
Yeah; and if I told you that I was robbed by a monkey, would you believe it?" I sighed secretly in my heart that I had lied to an honest man.
After a conversation, the two recognized each other as brothers. Hu Qihan asked Xue Dong to hunt with him for the time being. Xue Dong also lamented that he didn't know where to go and how he could face the extremely vicious Tianwu Sect because of his lack of ability. Let alone in this remote place.
You should first become successful in cultivation and then go out to explore.
From the moment he entered the small world, he felt that the spiritual energy in nature was nourishing his body all the time. He had been attacked by mosquitoes in the grass for a long time, and now his body was not itchy or painful, and not even a red spot could be seen. "Sacred Tree"
The magic of "Lian Yuan Gong" can be seen from this; Xue Dong made up his mind to practice it well.
Although the Martial Saint back then had spiritual roots, he didn't know that when he was young, the "Shenmu Lian Yuan Gong" was created only when he reached the peak of his martial arts practice. In comparison, he had left it from the beginning.
The shortcut is that it takes several decades longer than the Martial Saint back then. As long as I work hard, I will be able to reach a higher level than the Martial Saint. The age of becoming a saint may be earlier than that of the Martial Saint back then.
Hu Qihan's house only has one wing room, and the two of them share the same bed. This makes Xue Dong feel very uncomfortable. He can't fall asleep even after sleeping for a while. After walking in the forest all day, he doesn't feel tired after eating.
, looked at Hu Qihan who was snoring next to him, sat up cross-legged, and started practicing as usual.
The spiritual energy floating in the air seems to have heard the call. The invisible spiritual energy is inhaled from the nostrils, penetrates into the limbs and bones, and then returns to the meridians of the whole body. It slowly grows in the twelve meridians and finally flows into the Dantian. It turns out that Xue Dong is the first in the outside world.
After a week, when the second week is running, the weak spiritual energy in the Dantian will be brought out again to wander in the meridians, but now it is not like before.
In less than half an hour, Xue Dong had guided the spiritual energy for a week. Moreover, not all the original spiritual energy in the Dantian was circulated again, but only about half of the original amount was brought out. Because enough spiritual energy was introduced from outside the body, it surged in the meridians at the same time.
