The sound of the tide rises and falls, and the sound of the waves continues.
The waves were rolling and heavy, coming from a distance, as if they were about to engulf and sweep away everything.
The setting sun slanted down, printing half of the sky red, like blood, dazzling, rendering the seawater in the distance as if covered with a layer of red clouds, stretching thousands of miles away.
The waves were heavy and endless, as if big hands were hitting the rugged rocks with great force again and again, exploding one after another and splashing countless waves, but the rocks did not move at all, as if it had been like this since ancient times.
The rocks rise like solitary peaks, and stand like giant swords at the junction of sea water and land. On one of the rocks with relatively gentle waves, a figure is sitting quietly, holding a fishing rod as motionless as a statue.
Suddenly, the fishing line tightened, and a strong pull instantly pulled the fishing rod straight. The powerful force even made the figure on the reef tremble, and his body tilted forward unconsciously, as if he was about to be pulled down.
In an instant, the man's body under the gray coarse cloth shuddered, and his muscles and bones trembled. He instantly resisted the huge pull. The strength of his whole body went straight through his arms. With a sudden lift, the fishing rod was pulled into a curve like a waning moon.
It seemed to be broken as if it could no longer bear it.
But this man used clever force, loosening, tightening, lifting and pulling, not only to prevent the fishing rod from breaking, but also to catch things in the water.
It was a large fish nearly one meter long. Its black scales shone in the setting sun. Its body, which didn't look fat, was struggling and swinging violently. The tail swayed as if it had a huge force that could break rocks.
This is a black-scale fish. It lives in the reefs. It is hit by the waves all year round and fights with the waves. It has developed amazing strength. Although it does not look fat at all, the meat is very tough and chewy, and tastes great.
Good, but also very hungry.
For the people in the village, this blackfish is an excellent delicacy. Most people can't eat it because it is too difficult to catch.
But to Chen Zong, it's nothing. As long as he wants to eat, Chen Zong will come here to fish, and he can easily catch blackfish weighing dozens of kilograms.
Carrying a black-scaled fish weighing dozens of kilograms, Chen Zong also felt heavy with the body of an ordinary person. Fortunately, although he had lost his cultivation and strength, Chen Zong's character was still there, and he had a strong desire for his own strength.
Application and mastery also remain.
Chen Zong had tested before and found that his body was very healthy and he could lift about a hundred kilograms with one arm. This was considered good in the village. Of course, compared with before, it was a huge difference.
With his previous body, Chen Zong could easily swing the 150,000-jin Shen Yue Sword with one arm, let alone a hundred kilograms of heavy objects.
The difference between one hundred kilograms and hundreds of thousands kilograms is like a firefly compared to a blazing sun.
But Chen Zong has extraordinary control over himself, which is perfect. Therefore, the strength of one hundred kilograms in one arm can be exerted several times, two hundred kilograms, three hundred kilograms or even four hundred kilograms.
Of course, if Chen Zong's strength had previously been more than 100,000 or even 200,000 jins, he would not have been able to exert it to 400,000 or even 600,000 jins.
After all, that is the realm.
Although his strength was lost, Chen Zong's realm was not deprived of him.
To control a hundred kilograms of power with an incomparable level is naturally extraordinary.
Carrying a black-scaled fish weighing dozens of kilograms, Chen Zongfei stood on the reef, two or three meters away with each step, as smoothly as walking on flat ground.
Not long after, Chen Zong broke away from the rocks, landed on the shore, and ran away like a cheetah.
The village is about several thousand meters away from here. To a cultivator, several thousand meters is nothing, but to ordinary people, it takes a long time to cross several thousand meters, even if you keep running at a sprinting speed.
Running at a sprint speed, a normal person would not be able to support it at all, let alone carrying a turtle weighing dozens of kilograms.
Chen Zong is an ordinary person now, but he is not an ordinary person.
The body is that of an ordinary person, but the realm is very high. Therefore, the potential of this body can be more fully tapped. Without harming the body, every ounce of strength can be used to the extreme, and the muscles and bones can be used to the fullest extent.
Wait until they are fully mobilized and coordinated with each other to achieve several times the effect.
Even if Chen Zong is willing, he can risk his body to be more tyrannical.
It's just that there's no need for that.
Just like a cheetah running in the wilderness, the undulating muscles under the coarse cloth make the whole body full of unique rhythm, giving it a strong and beautiful look.
It would take some time for Chen Zong to cross several thousand meters now. The moment he stepped into the village, Chen Zong also slowed down and walked instead.
After a quick run, his blood flow accelerated, his whole body was warm, and he could not help but sweat. However, Chen Zong did not feel tired. Instead, he felt as if he had fully exercised and was full of strength.
"Brother Zong, I'm going fishing again. This must weigh dozens of kilograms." The dark-skinned middle-aged man holding the hoe greeted him with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle Li, I will send you a few kilograms later." Chen Zong said with a smile.
"That's good, I'll have a few drinks later." Uncle Li said with a hearty smile.
Along the way and back home, everyone would greet each other whenever they met, creating a very harmonious scene.
This is no illusion.
This village is called Shanhai Village, and its name is very good. It can be said that it is close to the mountains and the sea, but in fact it is just a small village. The total number of villagers in the whole village, men and women, old and young, is only about a hundred.
As a village nestled between mountains and the sea, Shanhai Village does not lack food, and its living standard is still very good.
Villagers can go to the offshore to catch fish and shrimp, or go to the foot of the mountain to farm, they can also look for wild vegetables, and even go into the mountains to hunt, etc.
Of course, there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and there is considerable danger. Even if an experienced hunter enters the mountains, he will inevitably be in danger of dying from the claws of ferocious beasts. Therefore, there are very few hunters in the mountains, and unless necessary, they generally do not
would be too in-depth.
After saying hello along the way, Chen Zong returned to his simple wooden house with the black-scaled fish.
This wooden house has one bedroom, a kitchen and a toilet. Although it is relatively old, it is quite complete and basically has everything it needs.
Chen Zong started to butcher the black-scaled fish. He slapped it gently with one hand, but it contained amazing force. He slapped it directly on the head of the black-scaled fish, killing it. He quickly scraped off the scales with his other hand and cut it into pieces.
piece.
Chen Zong has never practiced swordsmanship, but there are similarities between swordsmanship and swordsmanship. Therefore, when a sword spins smoothly around his hand, the swordsmanship is so exquisite that it is so beautiful that it can be called an art.
After quickly processing the blackfish, the huge fish head was mixed with some dried herbs and put into a pot to stew. Then the rice was mixed with some air-dried bacon and put into the pot to be steamed. Chen Zong walked out carrying more than a dozen pieces of fish.
, ready to be given to other people in the village one by one.
There are hundreds of people in Shanhai Village, including old, weak, women and children. It is a virtue for people in the village to respect the old and love the young, so Chen Zong also spontaneously did it.
After delivering the fish and returning to the house, the fish head was also stewed and the aroma was overflowing. Chen Zong started to think about it while eating the fish.
More than a month has passed since entering here that day, and Chen Zong feels as if he has integrated into this place, integrated into this mountain and sea village.
In other words, it seems that I was originally from Shanhai Village, but I just suspected that this place was an illusion and resisted it all the time. However, as time went by, this resistance actually weakened.
Even if Chen Zong wanted to strengthen his resistance, he couldn't. Everything was changing subtly.
For more than a month, Chen Zong has not found any way to break through the illusion, and has even made every conceivable attempt. Moreover, Chen Zong has also tried to practice, but to no avail.
No matter whether it is Qi training or physical training, no matter what kind of exercises are replaced, no effect can be achieved.
Chen Zong doesn't care much about being unable to cultivate any power. After all, this is an illusion. Although it is impossible to detect the incomparable reality, it cannot be denied that this is an illusion.
Since you are in an illusion and have been deprived of all your strength, it is normal that you cannot cultivate strength.
The only thing for now is to find a way to break through the illusion.
Chen Zong is thinking about leaving Shanhai Village.
Shanhai Village is the only village nearby, and it is almost isolated from the world. Even Chen Zong is suspicious that there are only Shanhai Village in this fantasy territory, and there are no other villages or towns.
Even for villages in other places, it is very difficult to go out.
Because Shanhai Village is surrounded by the sea and mountains.
To leave Shanhai Village, you have to either cross the sea or climb the mountains. There is no third way.
If his cultivation is still there, Chen Zong can do it whether it is climbing mountains or crossing seas, but now, he is just an ordinary person. Even if he is a superb person, he has superhuman control over himself and can exert several times more power.
In the future, it is completely possible to deal with dozens or even hundreds of ordinary people by oneself, but it cannot escape the realm of mortal flesh.
Wild beasts are rampant in the mountains, including tigers and giant bears, which are very scary. There are even rumors that there are even scarier beasts living there, which are extremely dangerous. The sea is unpredictable, and if you encounter a tsunami, etc., you can't resist it at all with your current body.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Zong was allowed to stay temporarily.
"But relatively speaking, maybe it's safer to go over the mountain than to cross the sea." Chen Zong thought to himself.
Although there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, with my superb realm and skill, even an ordinary person can still have some confidence. As for the sea, once I enter it, I can't help myself.
But before leaving, you still need to make some adequate preparations.
First, you need a sharp sword.
With a sword in hand, one's skills can be fully utilized. Secondly, one needs a suit of armor to better protect this ordinary body.
Although there are only about a hundred people in Shanhai Village, not many, and most of them are old, weak, women and children, the facilities are quite complete. There is also a blacksmith room with an old blacksmith and an apprentice blacksmith. The old blacksmith has been working for decades.
, rich experience.
Of course, what the old blacksmith made was basically hoes and sickles. In addition, he occasionally made some hunting knives. As for the swords, they were probably never cast, but it didn't matter. Chen Zong only needed to use the blacksmith's room.
