Start from miscellaneous fish to gain experience and cultivate immortality

Chapter 124: Conceit cut with one knife

Time passed day by day, and when Wang Shen came back from the mountains one day, he found the black snake waiting for him in the yard.

After seeing him, I circled around him a few times, looking very happy.

"Xiao Hei, you've grown again! Can you grow taller without eating in hibernation?"

Wang Shen looked at the black snake, and it was obviously thicker.

"To celebrate your return from hibernation, I have to drink something. By the way, I got a jar of good wine from the capital. Unfortunately, I can't drink it now. I will try my best to get a jar for you to try in the future. In this way, I can go and catch a fish in the river. , I’ll go get a jar of wine and come back.”

Wang Shen flew into the forest and came back soon. The black snake also brought back a large fish, circled around Wang Shen twice, and pointed in the direction of Qinghe River with its tail.

"What's wrong, is there something over there?"

Then Wang Shen followed Black Snake to the river and saw a man floating by the river not far away, holding a piece of wood in his arms. He took a closer look.

"Why is it him again!"

It was the young man I met a few nights ago. At this time, his face was pale and his breath was weak. He was holding a short knife more than two feet long in his right hand. At first glance, the knife was not ordinary.

"How come you have drifted here, and are you just destined to be with me? Xiao Hei, do you want to save me?"

Black Snake looked at Wang Shen and suddenly nodded.

"Hey, have you ever heard of the story called The Farmer and the Snake?"

An hour later, the drowned young man opened his eyes, but his eyes were still a little dull. When his eyes fell on Wang Shen's face, they became a little brighter.

"why you?"

"I'm confused too?" Wang Shen said with a smile.

"You saved me?"

"What do you say?"

The young man struggled to sit up and looked around.

"Where is this?"

"A small mountain village in Wuyang County."

The young man stood up with some effort, and then saluted Wang Shen respectfully.

"Xiao Ying, thank you very much for saving my life. May I ask your benefactor's name?"

"That's all, you shouldn't die." Wang Shen waved his hand.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Wang Shen took out some dry food and handed it to him. Xiao Ying took it and took two bites, coughing, coughing, coughing.

"It's a bit dry, is there any water?"

"No, just make do with it. I'm really thirsty. There's a stream over there." Wang Shen pointed not far away.

Xiao Ying looked at the creek over there, then continued to eat the cake with her head down.

"You can eat slowly here." After saying this, Wang Shen stood up.

"Please tell me your surname and name so that I can repay you in the future."

"No need." Wang Shen waved his hand.

"Ahem, can my benefactor leave some money?"

"You're welcome." Wang Shen turned to look at Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying blushed when she heard this, obviously very embarrassed.

"Here you go!" Wang Shen threw him a piece of silver.

"You are the son of a wealthy family, right?"

"Well, my family is quite wealthy. When I get home, I will repay the money a hundred times." Xiao Ying said.

"Why come out alone?"

"The family is under strict control, so I sneaked out."

"Go back early, otherwise the family will be worried." After saying this, Wang Shen turned around and left. Xiao Ying stayed there and looked at Wang Shen's back.

"This is the third time I've met him. Is it a chance?" Xiao Ying murmured to herself.

Wang Shen walked around in a big circle and returned to his residence, where Black Snake was waiting.

"Xiao Hei, come here and have a good chat with you."

After Wang Shen sat down, he waved to Black Snake, who immediately came to his side.

"I told you, don't be curious or have a good heart. You are different from me. If you meet a bad person, you will be a treasure to some people.

Snake meat can be made into pots, snake gall can be brewed into wine, and snake skin can be made into shoes. Think about it. "

Black Snake raised his head and listened, listening very seriously.

"Looking at the confused look on your face, I know you didn't understand anything." Wang Shen sighed.

"When you have nothing to do, go to Qinghe. Wait a minute, I have a baby here."

Wang Shen suddenly remembered the river patrol order that he had thrown aside. After having the He Boyin, he didn't pay much attention to the river patrol order.

He went to the creek and took you out according to the river patrol order, and brought you to the black snake's side.

"Look, is this thing useful to you?"

Black Snake arrived and looked down at the river patrol order, seeming a little confused.

"Don't you like it?" Black Snake's reaction surprised Wang Shen a little.

"Forget it if you don't like it. You also know the place where I hide the river boy seal. You can go there often. It might be good for you." Wang Shen touched the black snake's head.

Thousands of miles away, there is a stretch of mountains stretching for hundreds of miles, like dragons, and there is a Taoist temple in this mountain.

A young man was going down the mountain to look for his senior brothers but was stopped by an old Taoist.

"You have to go down the mountain and wait until your master comes out of seclusion. This is what he specifically told you before he came out of seclusion."

"Senior brother and the others haven't come back after being away for so long. Something must have happened."

The old Taoist was silent for a while, "We will wait until your master comes out of seclusion to discuss everything."

He had made a divination not long ago, and the few disciples who came down the mountain were probably in bad luck. It seemed that there was some great person in Wuyang County.

On the edge of the Qinghe River, Wang Shen looked at the mountains in the distance and frowned slightly.

He now encountered a problem. He already had enough Qi in his body, but it was still growing.

Thanks to the nameless skill he practiced and reached the "skilled" state in front of him, the true energy in his body circulated in his body on its own, and the true energy naturally increased little by little.

This is true even when sleeping. If this continues, he will face a problem. His body's capacity is limited. If this Qi continues to increase indefinitely, it will burst him.

"If you can't get through the second orifice, then you can only consume the Qi in the body according to what the old seniors said."

"Looking at it carefully, the day to meet his old man is coming soon, so I can ask him about it. I originally wanted to give him a surprise, but it seems I can only wait a little longer."

Wang Shen originally thought that he could use one year to enter the third level of ginseng and give Shen Jinghong a surprise, but unfortunately he failed to do so.

It's not that the plug-in is not good, it's that the goals he set are a bit high.

Days passed, and when it was time to meet, Wang Shen took out the Peach Blossom Nian buried under the peach tree, went to the shabby house outside Ninglong Mansion two days in advance, and waited there.

The day we agreed to meet came.

Wang Shen was full of joy, but he waited for a whole day, from morning to night, looking forward to it until dark, but Shen Jingsheng did not show up.

"Perhaps there is something delayed. Please wait a few more days."

Like this, two more days passed, and still no one came.

"Did you drink too much and forget about this?"

Three more days passed, and Wang Shen felt a little worried.

"Did there be an accident?"

On the seventh day, at dusk, he heard the footsteps of a person.

"Here we come!" Wang Shen stood up and walked out. But when he saw the visitor, he was very disappointed.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, eight feet tall, with tiger eyes and thick eyebrows. He was dressed in gray coarse cloth and carried a long box and a sword on his back.

"Wang Shen?" the man asked tentatively.

"It's me, you?"

"Did you bring the wine?"

"I didn't get the Peach Blossom Brew, but I brought a jar of Peach Blossom Nian. Where's Senior Shen?" Wang Shen had already guessed that the person in front of him was sent by Shen Jinghong.

"He has something to do and can't come. He asked me to come over and tell you."

"Oh, how is his health lately?" Wang Shen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing this.

"Okay, very tough." The middle-aged man said.

"Give this jar of wine to him for me. Next time we meet, I will treat him to peach blossom wine."

Haha, the middle-aged man smiled after hearing this.

"Senior Shen also asked me to ask you to test your sword skills to see if you have fallen behind in your practice this year."

"Okay!" Wang Shen pulled out the knife on the side.

"Draw your sword!"

"No need." The middle-aged man shook his head, looking quite confident.

A junior is not worthy of drawing his sword in a duel. Once his sword is unsheathed, it will be a matter of life and death.

"So confident, is this person in front of me a master?" Wang Shen thought after seeing this.

"Then be careful!" he warned.

Wang Shen drew his sword and started to cut. He stepped in front of the man with his sword, strength, and energy.

not good!

The man retreated quickly and stabbed.

Wang Shen stopped for a moment, and the man stopped too. The two were less than two feet apart. There was a long slit in the man's front clothes. If he moved forward even an inch, it would be enough to tear his skin and flesh.

The man's face changed drastically, full of horror, and he broke into a cold sweat.

The knife just now almost killed him.

"What a quick knife!"

Wang Shen was also startled and broke into a cold sweat. If he hadn't seen something wrong just now and hurriedly put away the knife, he would have killed the man in front of him with that knife.

"Brother, can you be serious? This is a competition. The sword has no eyes! It's not a child fighting with a wooden stick."

Confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is arrogance, which can kill people!

The man waved his hand, unsheathed the sword behind his back, and looked solemn.

"Come again!"

Wang Shenhu took a step forward and struck several blows with his sword, quickly, steadily and accurately. This sword contained an aura of momentum, cutting everything in two with one sword.

The formation-breaking knife requires this momentum to charge and break the formation.

"What a strong momentum!" the man exclaimed.

He retreated quickly and thrust out the sword in his hand very quickly. Wang Shen's steps were like the wind. He moved half a step and dodged. He slashed with the sword in his hand. The man turned back his sword to block.

There was a clang and the swords struck each other.

Only half of the knife in Wang Shen's hand was left.

There was a wound on the man's shoulder, and blood suddenly poured out, staining his clothes red.

"Good sword skills!" the man sighed.

"What a sword!" Wang Shen looked at the sword in the man's hand.

In the exchange of swords just now, the sword in his hand broke directly, and the broken sword flew out and scratched the opponent's shoulder.

"I took advantage of the weapons. The sword in my hand is a sword. The knife in your hand is just a weapon made by an ordinary blacksmith shop." The man said with a smile. The way he looked at Wang Shen was completely different from before.

"Hurry up and bandage the wound." Wang Shen pointed to his injured shoulder.

"This guy is not reliable at all. How could someone be so careless when he comes out to run around in the world!?" Wang Shen thought to himself.

The other party took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from his body and poured it on the wound. The golden sore medicine was quite extraordinary. After pouring it on, the bleeding of the wound quickly stopped.

"My dear, Dong Wenbo, I offended you a lot just now."

"What you are saying is that I was the one who offended you, and I hurt you." Wang Shen also felt quite sorry.

As soon as he said these words, Dong Wenbo's rough face turned red. He had been too careless just now and was very embarrassed.

He didn't expect that the junior in front of him had such a high level of cultivation.
