The sun rose thirty times and set thirty times, which meant that a whole month had passed.
During this month, apart from eating, sleeping and pooping, Zhao Zheng has been practicing hard. There are only two things he practices, one is the Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing, and the other is swordsmanship. Practicing the former is very difficult.
Practicing the latter is not only difficult, but also tests your understanding.
Maha Sword Technique is one of the sword techniques that most tests one's understanding in the world, because this sword technique does not have strict routines, and each move needs to be created by the martial artist himself and mastered.
Zhao Zheng created many moves of his own and learned many moves. The number of moves was sufficient, but he still lacked the firepower to change the moves. It took time and patience to polish it little by little. It was like simmering soup on a low fire.
The more it stews, the more flavorful it becomes.
"Hey! Ha!"
Zhao Zhengqing shouted twice, thrust out his long sword, followed the sword, and used two moves in the blink of an eye. One move was a self-created move, and the other was a move from the Pegasus Sword Technique. These two moves were used consecutively, and they were very powerful.
, and very smooth.
The tip of the Yiming Sword shook slightly twice, and a sword energy came out of the sword, hitting the tree trunk opposite, leaving a deep dent. The tree trunk was impacted, and green leaves fell from the top.
A leaf fell on the scarred sword body, and immediately slid down, swaying like a butterfly.
Zhao Zheng finished a set of sword techniques and sat cross-legged on the ground with the sword across his knees. He closed his eyes and recalled each move he had just made, looking for flaws in it and thinking about how to optimize it to make it better.
It became more powerful. A figure wielding a sword swayed around in his mind, jumping here and there, using seventeen or eighty moves in the blink of an eye.
After he had thought enough, he opened his eyes and found that a ray of twilight had appeared in the western sky, and the green forest was dyed with red clouds. This scenery was beautiful, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but it was very
Soon he was back in full swing of training.
He practices swordsmanship, thinks, practices swordsmanship, and thinks, combining movement and stillness. He is constantly polishing each move. Sometimes a small change can change the old look of a move into a new one, making it more subtle and sharp.
The sun sank below the horizon, and the woods in the distance seemed to be on fire.
Zhao Zheng's stomach seemed to have a tacit understanding with the sun. When the sun went down, his stomach growled and he protested.
People are like rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry. If you don't eat well, you won't have the strength to practice swordsmanship.
Zhao Zheng returned the sword to its sheath and walked towards the river, intending to stab a few fish and keep them for roasting and eating at night. The forest is very dense. There is no shortage of food and fruits, and occasionally you can catch some hares and deer.
of wild game and a tooth festival.
The three places where you practice, the river, and the tree house are very close to each other, and you can walk there in just a quarter of an hour.
The river flows gracefully, and the waves hit the round stones. Moisturizing the moss on them, the collision makes a pleasant sound. Palm-long fishes gather in groups at the bottom of the river, playing freely.
Zhao Zheng stood ten feet away from the river, so as not to disturb the fish, with his eyes fixed on the river. He looked at it for a while, then suddenly drew his sword and jumped into the air, jumping to the surface of the river. He stabbed with his sword. This sword hit
It made a circle at the bottom of the river and suddenly stabbed three swimming fish into a string.
When he landed again, his toes touched the stone.
After about a breath, the fish at the bottom of the river reacted and dispersed in all directions. Some hid in the aquatic plants and some in the cracks of the rocks.
Three fish were enough to eat. Zhao Zheng stabbed the three fish and returned to the tree house with a full load.
There are corresponding cooking utensils in the tree house, as well as sweet potatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, wild vegetables and other foods that he dug in the forest on weekdays. They can be eaten with grilled fish.
Climbing up to the tree house, he opened the wooden door and said casually, "I'm back." In fact, there was no one in the house, he was the only one living there. The reason why he was talking to himself was just to relieve his loneliness a little. He entered the house.
, he walked straight towards the large wooden box where the food was stored, ready to find some ingredients. But as soon as he took a step, he was dumbfounded.
There are three wooden boxes in the room, one is dedicated to storing the items he brought from reality, such as the Gengyang Golden Pill needed to practice the Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing, the other is dedicated to storing the supplies provided by the copy, and the other is empty.
It is specially used to store food, sundries, etc. Except for the box for storing food, the other two boxes are usually covered, but now all three boxes are open!
Zhao Zheng has a very good memory. He clearly remembered that he closed two of the boxes before setting off. There was no misremembering.
That means that these three boxes were opened by others.
When he thought of this explanation, Zhao Zheng's back suddenly felt hairy, and a chill rose in his chest.
If you encounter this kind of thing in the real world, there is nothing to be afraid of. The biggest problem is that you are being robbed. But it is different here. This is a closed world in the dungeon, a space of its own. Logically speaking, he should be the only one here.
There shouldn't be a second person.
When things go wrong, there must be a monster, and this monster is very scary.
Zhao Zheng's breathing became rapid and his brows furrowed. He bravely walked towards the three wooden boxes and looked inside. He was shocked to find that all three wooden boxes were empty. There was nothing left except food.
There was a layer of floating soil on the bottom of the wooden box.
The thing is missing, which means it must have been stolen, which further proves that there is a second person in this closed space!
"What the hell..."
Zhao Zheng was filled with fear in his heart and his hair was a little hairy. This sudden change was completely beyond his expectation.
He had been to this dungeon once before and stayed there for a year, but everything was as usual that time, and nothing like today had ever happened.
Zhao Zheng only felt that his head was a little confused, so he forced himself to calm down, sat on the edge of the bed, and thought carefully.
The existence of the copy itself is an existence beyond common sense, which seems unreasonable. But in fact, this extraordinary existence has another set of rules, and everything is done according to the rules. Today's theft incident has broken the original rules of the copy.
Rules. As for why such an abnormality occurs, it is impossible to guess now, and there is no use in guessing.
For now, the only way is to collect more clues and try to find the person who stole the things. In this way, all the mysteries will naturally be solved.
After clearing his mind and making a plan, Zhao Zheng felt much more at ease. He stood up and started searching the house, looking for clues. The sky net was vast and sparse, and the thieves would always leave something here. He searched carefully.
After some research, I found two strange footprints on the ground and three sharp scratches on the inner wall of the wooden box.
There were obviously no shoes on the footprints, and they were barefoot. The soles of the feet were slightly smaller than those of adults, and the shape was also a bit deformed.
The scratches are not deep. There are only three shallow marks. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see them.
Based on these clues, we can't deduce much information. At most, we can deduce that the thief is not tall and may have skills such as eagle claws.
There are two footprints. There may be a third, fourth, or fifth.
Zhao Zheng left the house, followed the clues, and started searching outside the wooden house. Sure enough, he found a few more footprints on the ground.
Because the soil outside is soft, the footprints here are clearer.
This footprint is really special. It is very deformed. The sole of the foot is half-moon shaped and the toes are very long and narrow, just like fingers.
The more Zhao Zheng looked at it, the more strange it became. Suddenly he suddenly realized it, slapped his forehead, and solved all the mysteries.
The footprints are not human, but animal!
Those things in the wooden house were not stolen by people. They were stolen by animals, so it makes sense. The area of the deep mountain and old forest dungeon is unprecedentedly large, and it is surrounded by dense forests. It is normal for some animals to exist. This dungeon space only belongs to Zhao
Once you are one person, there cannot be another person.
Judging from the shape of the footprints and the behavior of stealing things, this animal should be a monkey.
There are footprints there. It shouldn't be difficult to find this monkey's lair.
Zhao Zheng had no intention of eating fish anymore, so he hung all the fish he had just obtained on the branches, and then followed the footprints to track down the evil monkey. He didn't need anything else, but he had to find those Gengyang Golden Pills.
Come on. Without that, there is no way to practice the Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Sutras.
The ground is full of flowers and plants, and footprints and traces are hidden among them. It takes careful identification to find them.
While Zhao Zheng was searching, he amplified his hearing and listened to the sounds around him. If there were large animals running and walking, he would definitely be able to hear them. He followed the footprints all the way, and the walk was a full seven miles away. Unexpectedly,
The monkey ran so far.
Just when Zhao Zheng was getting a little impatient, a strange noise suddenly came from not far away, which obviously sounded like it was coming from an animal. His eyes lit up, he stepped lightly, and walked towards the direction of the sound.
The further we walked, the louder the sound became. After walking about fifty steps, a monkey appeared under the tree root in front of us.
To be precise, it was an ape, an ape with white hair and a red face. He was as tall as half a man, with his arms hanging on the ground and long nails. It was sitting on the ground at the moment, fiddling with a round Gengyang gold
Dan seemed to be very interested in this thing. He looked at it for a while, then moved his mouth to take a few bites. There were many things scattered at his feet in front of it, including clothes, food and cooking utensils, which were exactly the things Zhao Zheng had thrown away.
Zhao Zheng was about to have an attack when he suddenly noticed something unusual and immediately stopped his movements.
The ape in front seems to be no ordinary ape, but a rare red-faced white ape!
The red-faced white ape is an extremely rare and special ape. This ape has agile movements, and its body movements are like electricity. It jumps up and down, as if it is flying in the clouds and mist. This ape is very strong, and its claws have the power of gravel.
Even a tiger's skin can be scratched to pieces by scratching it with its claws. What's even more special is that this ape is extremely smart and good at imitating and learning. It only needs to watch others do some special actions in front of it to learn it.
The red-faced white ape's favorite thing to learn is martial arts. He often learns it once in a while, and after learning it, he can perform it better than most martial artists. When a red-faced white ape learns enough martial arts, he can even master them.
Create some new martial arts on your own!
The martial arts created by White Ape are very exquisite and practical, even more powerful than those created by most martial arts masters. In ancient times, there were people who worshiped White Ape as their teacher and learned a White Ape sword technique. They defeated everyone with this sword technique.
Heroes of the world. This swordsmanship was later regarded as the best martial arts, but unfortunately it was lost in the long river of history.
During the period when a hundred schools of thought contended, some people could occasionally encounter white apes by chance. In later dynasties, very few people could see white apes. This magical species became less and less and was almost extinct.
If anyone is lucky enough to encounter a red-faced white ape, there is hope that he can learn some exquisite martial arts from the white ape that cannot be learned from humans.
Meeting a red-faced white ape is really a lucky thing.
Zhao Zheng never expected to encounter such a rare red-faced white ape in the deep mountains and old forests. He even thought that he was dazzled or made a mistake. But after careful identification, he was indeed not dazzled.
There is indeed no mistake. The big ape with red face and white hair opposite is the famous red-faced white ape. There is no mistake.
"I'm really lucky to meet the red-faced white ape here. I don't know if it is a creature that originally existed in this copy or a creature that came in randomly." Zhao Zheng's heart was full of doubts and became very hot at the same time. What if?
If he can get the guidance of the red-faced white ape, he will make rapid progress in swordsmanship and martial arts and become much stronger.
The question now is how to approach this red-faced white ape and how to establish a good relationship with him. Only by becoming friends with the red-faced white ape can we hope to learn peerless martial arts from the red-faced white ape.
Although the red-faced white ape is smart, it can't speak human words, let alone communicate with people. Don't expect to fool it with its sharp tongue.
If you can't communicate, you can only use things like food to show your affection. There is no other good way.
Zhao Zheng was determined to retreat temporarily and go back to prepare some food before coming back, but he was afraid that the delay would be too long and the white ape would leave. After weighing it again and again, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk and meet the white ape first.
, and then make other plans.
If he rushed over all at once, it would definitely arouse the white ape's vigilance, so Zhao Zheng slowed down his pace and walked forward in small steps.
The red-faced white ape's hearing was very keen. His left ear twitched slightly, and he immediately noticed someone approaching and turned to look in Zhao Zheng's direction.
Zhao Zheng raised his hands and smiled. He tried to appear gentle.
The red-faced white ape was not gentle at all. It immediately showed an angry face, bared its teeth at Zhao Zheng, and let out a hissing growl in its throat. The snow-white hair on its body also stood up, and became fluffy in size.
In order to show his goodwill, Zhao Zheng quickly stopped and stood about two feet away.
"Hello Brother Ape, all the things under your feet belong to me." Zhao Zheng said calmly, pointing to the large pile of things under the white ape's feet with a smile, and then pointed to his nose.
The white ape stared closely at Zhao Zheng's hand, and his eyes rolled around, as if he understood what Zhao Zheng meant. It became even more angry, and quickly lowered its body, stretched out its claws to collect the large pile of things to its side,
Claim your ownership.
Zhao Zheng showed a wry smile. It seemed that the other party did not have the consciousness of a thief at all, and he had no intention of returning the things to him.
In the current situation, let alone learning martial arts from the white ape, how to get those things back is a big problem.
Since it is a difficult problem, it is not that easy to solve, and it is not that easy to solve, so there is no need to rush to solve it.
Zhao Zheng actually relaxed, sat down on the ground, and met the white ape.
When a person is sitting, he is much less threatening than when he is standing. Seeing this, the white ape no longer grinned and became a little more honest.
The man and the ape looked at each other in the twilight light, looking somewhat funny.
Zhao Zheng recalled an incident. If he looked at an animal, it might irritate the animal. In order not to annoy the white ape, he simply lowered his gaze and did not look at the white ape's bright and sinister eyes.
.In this way, White Ape's attitude softened a little.
Bai Yuan relaxed a little and began to look up and down at Zhao Zheng, looking up and down for a dozen times, and also raised his nose to smell.
At this time, Zhao Zheng's stomach growled. The sound was like a frog croaking, and it could be heard from a long distance away. After such a long time, he was already so hungry that his heart was pressed against his back. If there was
There is plenty to eat, and one meal is enough to eat five large steamed buns.
Hearing the growl of Zhao Zheng's stomach, Bai Yuan blinked, seeming to find it amusing, and grinned again, but it was not an angry grin, but a smile.
"Brother Ape, I'm hungry. Let's go find something to eat first. After I finish eating, we can continue to meet each other." Seeing the white ape's good attitude, Zhao Zheng bravely stood up and scanned around for something to eat.
Something. He quickly found a mulberry wild fruit, walked over, picked a bunch, and ate it. The mulberries were sweet and delicious. He ate three bunches in one go, and his mouth was stained.
Purple.
When the red-faced white ape saw Zhao Zheng eating as if nothing had happened, he didn't know what kind of evil he was possessed by or was stimulated by something. He suddenly became angry again and threw the Gengyang Golden Pill on his paw towards Zhao Zheng. Its strength was amazing.
It was extremely large, but the accuracy was a little off, and it was thrown a little too high. After the Gengyang Golden Pill flew out, it ran towards the top of Zhao Zheng's head.
Although Zhao Zheng was eating, his concentration did not relax at all. He kept expanding his five senses and paying attention to every move of the red-faced white ape. When he saw the white ape, he got angry and threw the Gengyang Golden Pill over.
, hurriedly stared at the flying golden elixir, stretched out his dragon-claw-like hand, and grabbed it in his palm.
Zhao Zheng only felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand, but it was not hurt. He opened his palm with a smile, letting Bai Yuan see the Gengyang Golden Pill on his palm, and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Yuan for returning the lost property. If you are free,
, you might as well return the rest of the lost items to me, I’m really grateful.” (To be continued.)
