chewing dragon

Chapter 16

Qi Jingzhi bid farewell to Master Meng, went to the street to buy some salt, and trotted all the way out of the city.

He has gained a lot of knowledge and knowledge today, and his desire for practice has become more and more intense. He only wants to go back early, and then go to Lu Yunzi's remnants to find exercises.

When he passed the mountain pass outside the village, his heart skipped a beat. He climbed up the low slope where Chen Er was buried and looked down. He saw that the place where the body was buried was the same as yesterday.

Qi Jingzhi looked around again and saw that there was no one around, so he went down the slope to find a thick meadow and lay down in it, then took out the spirit mask from his arms.

He stared at the light blue mask with facial features somewhat similar to his own for a while, especially the two intersecting black knife marks, as if reminding him of the danger of last night.

"These two knife marks are a bit ugly, but with them, I'm not afraid of being recognized easily."

This idea came to Qi Jingzhi's mind, and he slowly put on the mask, only to feel that his face tightened, and there was no place where the two did not fit together.If it weren't for the slightly cold touch, he would hardly be aware of the existence of the mask, and the bone-deep pain of last night would never appear again.

"Before I was alive...practice...gongfa..."

Taking advantage of the changing light and shadow in front of him, Qi Jingzhi preemptively recited a few words that he had thought up long ago.

I don't know which of the words played a role. After waiting far longer than last night, Qi Jingzhi's eyes finally lit up, and a very vague tall figure appeared in front of him.

Maybe it's because the time has passed so long, Lu Yunzi seems to have forgotten the appearance of the other party, leaving only a rough outline.

This figure was obviously talking, but no sound came out. On the contrary, Lu Yunzi's heart sounded: "Haha! Master is finally willing to pass on the "Xian Yu Jing" to me! Even if it is only a fragment, it is enough to make me I run amok! This kind of method has always been taught by word of mouth, not in writing, I must firmly remember it, and I can't miss a word..."

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzi bowed down respectfully to the opposite figure: "Master is very kind, this disciple will never forget even though he dies!"

It straightened up, and listened carefully to the vague figure for a while, and the joy in its heart became stronger: "It turns out that the real practice scriptures are different from martial arts, and the first great state is called refining bones and strengthening life! What master learned , it is the Zhuang Mingjuan of the "Xian Yu Jing", which can help me continue the martial arts and lay the foundation of the Dao!"

"The realm of strong life is subdivided into two steps: external training and internal training? External training is external training, and the first step is to eat meat? Well, this step is similar to martial arts. A good body is fundamental, so you must eat well, and meat is naturally indispensable..."

In the process of listening to Master teach scriptures, thoughts came to Lu Yunzi's mind one after another, no matter which one was of great value to Qi Jingzhi.

"Inner training is to nourish the heart and bone? What is the heart and bone?"

"Things are inequitable, they scream? This bone of heart is originally the spirit in the chest of a warrior? It can also be pride, ambition, backbone, or evil spirit? Ha! No matter what it is, how can young people not be arrogant? Yes, the master got it." This scripture was already quite old at the time, no wonder it didn’t make any big names!”

……

After a long time, Qi Jingzhi raised his hand to take off the spirit mask. While he was happy, his heart was heavy.

"Lu Yunzi should have been in his twenties when he died. He died young, but he lived for another 200 years as a soul. After such a long time, he even forgot the appearance of his mentor, but he still remembered That remnant volume is really..."

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi had some feeling, but he didn't know how to describe it.

He is only a 15-year-old boy, and it is really hard for him to understand such a thing. Even if he possesses Lu Yunzi's remnant thoughts, he still can't empathize with him.

Thinking about it carefully, what Lu Yunzi has forgotten is not only his mentor?It even abandoned its appearance and even the humanity it once had, and completely turned into a faceless evil spirit that preyed on people.

Thinking of this, the young man felt a little irritable, and walked back to his small courtyard with heavy steps.

He pushed open the courtyard door, and when he looked up, he saw old man Qi sitting on a stone bench in the yard. On the stone table in front of him were two bowls of white rice and four vegetables, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts, A plate of fried small miscellaneous fish, a pot of stewed pheasant with wild mushrooms.

These meals seem to have just been out of the pan, and they are still steaming, fragrant and mouth-watering.

Qi Jing was startled, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he asked briskly: "Grandpa, what a good day today, why is it so rich? Fortunately, I came back not too late. If it is cold, it will be a crime." gone."

His footsteps also became brisk, and he rushed to the table and sat down, reaching for the bowls and chopsticks, and still talking about what he saw and heard when he entered the city today.

"Grandfather, I have opened my eyes today! You must have seen Lu Ao, the second young master of the Lujiabu line. He had a pair of horns growing out of his head, and he was killed by the envoy of Jinyun from the Wuyun Inspection Department of the Ducheng Demon Academy. I picked it up, and I will probably be an expert who can catch monsters in the future."

"That envoy from Jinyun looks like an iron tower, with red eyes, as if he was about to spew fire, so scared that everyone in the street dared not make a sound."

The old man Qi did not show the interested expression as the young man thought, instead he snorted and asked in a muffled voice: "The Wuyun Inspection Department of the Town Demon Academy? Since that messenger is so good, I think he can get the tiger from Nangang Essence given away?"

Qi Jingzhi did not doubt that he was there, nodded, and said in a firm tone: "Master Meng said that the Wuyun Inspection Department is dedicated to dealing with evil spirits. Since Jinyun envoys have come to our county, they will not sit back and watch tiger spirits harm people. Yes Yes, Master Meng heard about Grandpa, he visited Dian Shi a few days ago, and relieved our family of tiger-fighting servants."

"This time the kindness is greatly owed!"

Hearing this, old man Qi's tone was full of emotion: "Master Meng is very capable, this matter may not be a big deal to him, but our grandparents must know the importance. Even if he doesn't need us, he can't forget his gratitude at all times. When you go to the city in the future, remember to send more game over, it can be regarded as the kindness of the people in the mountains."

"Grandpa, don't worry, grandson will remember!"

Qi Jingzhi solemnly agreed, and then changed the subject: "Grandfather, Master Meng knew that I didn't want to study and become an official, so he found a martial arts for me, saying that it can strengthen my body and improve my health when I encounter ferocious beasts in the mountains." A chance at life."

This is what the boy thought up on the way home. The spirit mask and the small bronze mirror are too shocking, so there is really no need to say it to make Grandpa worry.

"Master Meng is really kind-hearted! You are really lucky! Martial arts skills are rare, and they are much better than the crops that my grandfather taught you. When they were guarding the border, there were also skills passed down in the army. That is You have to risk your life and make great contributions to learn it.”

Old man Qi was a little excited immediately. Compared with being exempted from the job, he was more happy that his grandson could learn how to settle down.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bacon and put it in his grandson's bowl, and said: "People who practice martial arts are all big-bellied men, you should eat more."

Qi Jingzhi responded with a smile, and when the old man Qi started to eat, he also held the bowl and ate the rice sullenly.

He muttered while eating: "Master Meng also said that you should eat more meat when you practice martial arts. Our family can often eat it, but not much. In the future, when I go into the mountains, I will go farther and dig a few more pits to get out. If I come back late Already, grandpa will eat first, don't wait for me."

Hearing this, the old man Qi raised his head and glanced at his grandson with concern in his eyes.

It's just that he saw that the young man was eating deliciously, so he didn't say anything, just hummed his nose, and picked up another chicken leg and put it into his grandson's bowl.

Qi Jingzhi raised his head, his mouth was still full of rice, and he showed a bright smile to old man Qi.

He also picked up a chicken leg, put it in the other party's bowl, and said vaguely: "Grandpa, you can eat too!"

Old man Qi nodded with a smile.

For the grandfather and grandson who depend on each other and earn food in the mountains, it is a blessing to be able to eat, and there is really no need to ask for more.
