Listening to the black dragon's dragon-like voice, Ye Tian felt a little reluctant to give up. However, he had too many bonds, so he couldn't live in seclusion in the mountains and concentrate on practicing Taoism like the black dragon. This may also be the difference between humans and animals.
Looking at the spreading fog miasma behind him, Ye Tian quickened his pace a little. When he reached the valley and looked back, the Black Dragon Pond had disappeared into the poisonous miasma, and only the sound of the black dragon's reluctance came from it.
"Lao Hu, huh? What's going on?"
Ye Tian sighed and looked back, but he didn't find Hu Hongde. After searching carefully, he found that Hu Hongde had fallen on the edge of the old forest with his back against a big tree. His eyes were closed tightly, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"I told you not to touch this thing!"
Ye Tian rushed to Hu Hongde's side in a few steps. When he saw the jade-like stone at his feet, he suddenly understood. The stubborn old man probably didn't listen to his words and touched the object with his hands.
With Ye Tian's current cultivation level, he almost froze to death when he touched the stone. Hu Hongde was even more miserable at this time. His hair had all frozen into ice, his lips were blue and purple from the cold, and his whole body was constantly feeling...
Twitching.
Seeing that Hu Hongde could still move, Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly helped Hu Hongde sit upright, put a palm on his back, and injected his pure Qi into his body to drive away the cold air.
.
"Damn, this thing is simply killing without blood?!"
When Ye Tian's true energy entered Hu Hongde's body, he found that Hu Hongde's energy and blood were running extremely slowly, and the meridians were filled with extremely cold energy. If he didn't save him, I'm afraid that in half an hour, Hu Hongde would be
Frozen to death alive.
Calmly concentrating, Ye Tian tried his best to dissolve the cold air in Hu Hongde's meridians.
I don't know if it was because Ye Tian had transformed the cold energy before, but when his true energy came into contact with the cold energy, the cold energy actually turned into strands of spiritual power and merged with Ye Tian's true energy.
In addition, there was still a very small amount of spiritual power, but it was integrated with Hu Hongde's own true energy. His almost frozen body also recovered little by little.
After a while, Ye Tian stood up, dug out a ginseng slice the size of a thumbnail from the backpack he had thrown aside, and stuffed it directly into Hu Hongde's mouth. This ginseng slice was what Meng Xiazi used to hang himself.
leftover.
Ye Tian had already done everything he could. He had managed to expel the cold air from Hu Hongde's body, and with this wild ginseng to replenish his energy and blood, I believe Hu Hongde would be fine.
"Ye Tian, this... what the hell is this?"
After four or five minutes, Hu Hongde finally opened his eyes. After seeing the small black stone that fell on the ground, he couldn't help but have a look of fear in his eyes.
Although his body was invaded by the cold, Hu Hongde's mind was always awake.
He also tried hard to resolve the cold air, but the true energy he had cultivated for decades was like a drop in the bucket in front of the cold air. If Ye Tian hadn't saved him in time, Hu Hongde's life would have been lost.
"Old Hu, didn't I tell you not to touch it?" Ye Tian heard the words and smiled bitterly, and said: "Can you circulate your true energy and see if there are any changes?"
Whether it was the first time he came into contact with the cold air, or whether he was helping Hu Hongde get rid of the cold air just now, Ye Tian absorbed a lot of spiritual power from it. He could feel that part of the spiritual power overflowed into Hu Hongde's body. I think he also gained a lot.
benefit.
"Huh? Some of the hidden diseases in my body have disappeared!"
After briefly exploring the condition of his body, Hu Hongde showed a look of surprise on his face. The foreign martial arts he practiced were too strong and left many hidden problems when he was young. These diseases cannot be cured and can only be treated slowly.
But as soon as he started exercising, Hu Hongde discovered that most of the hidden problems in his chest and lungs had healed, his physical condition felt better than ever, and his mind seemed to be a little clearer.
"Ye Tian, what on earth is this?" When he looked at the small stone this time, Hu Hongde was half surprised.
Ye Tian shook his head and said: "I don't know what it is. The black dragon gave it to me. It seems to be helpful to my cultivation, but most people can't bear it."
Not long after he got this thing, Ye Tian just knew that when someone touches it, it will emit a strong cold air, but when wrapped in clothes, it looks like an ordinary stone.
"Only a monster like you can bear what this monster gives you."
Although he coveted the black stone, Hu Hongde understood that if it was left in Ye Tian's hand, it would be a treasure, but if it was placed with him, it would be no less than a life-threatening talisman.
Ye Tian carefully put away the black stone and said, "Okay, Lao Hu, we have been in the mountains for more than a week, let's go out today!"
Hu Hongde looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, it's going to snow again today. If I don't go out, I'm afraid I'll be locked up in the mountains."
A real heavy snow had sealed the mountain, and the depth of the snow was more than one meter deep. Even Hu Hongde would not dare to go in and out of the mountain in that environment.
Looking back, Ye Tian shouted loudly towards the valley: "Black Jiao, let's go... go... go!"
The echoes in the valley were mixed with a clear, almost dragon-like howl, which continued to echo in the mountains and forests.
After Ye Tian and Hu Hongde disappeared into the jungle, a huge figure emerged from the poisonous miasma and stared out of the valley for a long time, looking so lonely and lonely.
When they entered the mountain, they didn't carry much supplies, but when they left the mountain, they carried several large packages. They stayed in two wooden houses in the mountain for a day each before returning to Hu Hongde's home next to the forest farm.
Originally, Ye Tian wanted to pick out the wild ginseng with sixth-grade leaves, but Hu Hongde was unwilling to do so. He said that Ye Tian had already obtained several old ginseng roots. Without Hu Hongde to lead the way, Ye Tian was helpless.
After resting for a day at Hu Hongde's house, the two sorted their things and then arrived in Changbai City. Yu Qingya and the other girls were already waiting at the door.
"Ye Tian, you must take me with you next time you go to the mountains!"
Yu Qingya was very dissatisfied that her boyfriend went hunting and gathering ginseng in the Changbai Mountains and left her in the city. If it weren't for a few sisters beside her, her hands would have reached Ye Tian's waist.
"Well, Ye Tian, what is this? I remember you don't bring these things?"
Yu Qingya was talking while her eyes were looking at Ye Tian. When she saw a black string around Ye Tian's neck, she pulled it out smoothly.
Hanging on the rope was a small leather bag, which was bulging and contained the mysterious stone. Hu Hongde specially sewed it for Ye Tian from wild boar skin.
Ye Tian hung this stone of unknown origin and nature on his chest, and he could feel the spiritual energy overflowing from his chest into his body, nourishing his meridians. The effect was much better than if he had meditated for a day.
"No, you can't touch this thing!"
Ye Tian was holding the box with both hands. Before he could put it down to stop Yu Qingya, Yu Qingya had already opened the leather bag and took the black stone inside in her hands.
"What is this?" What surprised both Ye Tian and Hu Hongde was that there was nothing unusual about Yu Qingya holding the mysterious stone, and she was tossing it over and over.
"Let me see and play with it!"
As the saying goes, three women perform a drama. Wei Rongrong and Hu Xiaoxian also gathered around. Everyone touched the stone, but no cold air invaded their bodies.
"Could this thing only be effective for cultivators?" Ye Tian and Hu Hongde looked at each other, both of them puzzled.
"Okay, Qingya, this is a small object I got in the mountains, give it to me!"
Ye Tian was afraid that the girls would break the stone, so he endured the chill, grabbed the stone in his hand, and hurriedly put it into a leather bag.
The contact in such a short period of time made Ye Tian couldn't help but shiver a few times, which also showed that the coldness in the stone had not disappeared.
"Okay, we've hunted down some flying dragons, and we'll make flying dragon soup for you tonight!"
Hu Hongde promptly lifted the six flying dragons he was carrying in his right hand, which immediately attracted the attention of several girls, and no one paid attention to the small stone anymore.
When Hu Dajun and his wife came back in the evening, Hu Hongde announced to them that he was going to the capital. After some discussion, they decided to leave tomorrow.
However, because of the tiger skin that Ye Tian got for free, he was unable to fly, because if this thing was found at the airport, he would be charged with poaching or selling nationally protected animals.
In the end, Yu Qingya and Wei Rongrong took a direct flight from Tonghua to the capital. Ye Tianze and Hu Hongde, who was unwilling to fly, took a train back to Beijing. When they returned to the capital, they were three days behind Yu Qingya.
"Ye Tian, uncle, is he at home?"
After coming out of the Beijing Railway Station, looking at the bustling crowd and thinking that he was about to see his childhood elders, Hu Hongde, who was already in his sixties, became a little worried about gains and losses.
"At home, I called my senior brother, but I didn't say you were coming!"
Ye Tian laughed when he heard this. Gou Xin's family has been away from the mainland for nearly half a century, and most of their relatives and friends have passed away. I think they will be very happy to see Hu Hongde.
"Let's go home and try the Erguotou in the capital at night. It's no worse than your Changbai Mountain Shao Knife!" Ye Tian didn't notify his family to pick him up, so he took a taxi and took Hu Hongde directly to his old house.
As soon as he opened the side door and walked into the house, a white shadow rushed to Ye Tian's shoulder, combing Ye Tian's hair affectionately with his little paws.
"Is this the ferret you're talking about?"
Hu Hongde, who was following Ye Tian, looked at Mao Tou strangely. Because of this little guy, Ye Tian left all the mink coats he prepared for Gou Xin's family in the northeast.
