Chapter 12 Falling off a cliff without dying?

……

“Medicated bath?”

In the corner of the alley, I smell the faint medicinal fragrance, wearing white clothed tall and thin man brows frowned:
"Wei He really likes this brat?"

After hesitating for a while, he turned and left.

His speed was very fast, avoiding pedestrians. After passing through a few alleys, he turned and entered the backyard of a large mansion with three entrances.

"Why are you here?"

In the courtyard, an old man on crutches who was watering flowers frowned.

"Yang Baotian!"

The tall and thin white clothed man glanced at him coldly: "This is a mess, wait for the Deputy Branch Lord to come back, what do you think? Explain."

"Break it?"

Yang Baotian tapped his cane vigorously, dubious: "With your methods, can't you kill this little brat? The outer city is like this now. Chaos, is there no chance?"

"He moved into the inner city, and it's not far from the alley where Wei He is."

He was tall and expressionless, and he didn't put the Instead, he said about the medicinal bath:
"Wei He is a ruthless character, I don't want to fight against such a brat."

"This matter is not a small matter, if you No matter, the Deputy Branch Lord, I can't explain it, can you explain it?"

Yang Baotian became a little irritable and regretted contacting Liansheng.

In this year, I didn't take much for the cheap, but I didn't pay less for the price.

"That's your business, not mine." The tall and thin man said casually and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Yang Baotian called out the white clothed man: "This little brat can't move for the time being, that's fine, the Black Mountain City jailer is vacant, but there are still some."

The tall and thin man heard this frowning: "You guys have negotiated goals. If you do this, you won't be afraid that they will settle accounts in the fall?"

"hehe ~"

Leaning heavily on crutches, Yang Baotian sneered again and again:

"Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, this is hard to pass, where is the future? Old man can't care so much?"

"It's okay to ask me to help."

The tall and thin man didn't bother to ask, and raised his index finger: "Give me another hundred taels, I want it now, don't need cash, just cash!"

"One hundred taels..."

Yang Baotian's face twitched, but he still agreed:
"Okay!"

...

"That's fine too?!"

Yang Yu was surprised and delighted.

He knew early on that he couldn't absorb the second 'ingredient' until the 'Cauldron of Gluttony' turned completely black again.

In the past few days, although he ate a lot of 'pebble', the refining also took a toll, and he barely maintained a balance.

The appearance of the blood exchange progress bar is naturally a pleasant surprise.

This also shows that, with the help of 'Cauldron of Gluttony', he easily crossed the threshold that Hu Wan has not crossed for several months.

The existence of the progress bar will not speed up his exchange blood process, but with the progress bar, he can grasp his own progress.

More reasonable arrangements.

What surprised him was the words 'one blood exchange' before the progress bar.

One time, two times, three times...

"How much medicine ingredient does this take..."

Yang Yu murmured, a little in his heart. Scalp tingling.

In his estimation, even if it is a success, it will cost more than 200 taels of silver. If it fails once, the medicine ingredient used for the second time will be doubled.

And this is just a blood exchange...

"Money, money..."

Yang Yu sighed, picked up the broken knife, and started the drill.

With day and night practice, he has a deep grasp of Blade Technique skills. Although the progress is slower and slower, it is gradually coming to an end.

The refining of the broken knife is about to be completed.

……

“Hoohoo!”

He spat out one mouthful of impure air, stepped out of the already turbid and cold medicinal liquid, and stretched at will I felt a lot of energy in my body.

"It seems to be easier and faster than what Old Man Wei said..."

Yang Yu thought half-squinted.

Theoretically speaking, the stronger the body is, the faster the body is exchanged. For example, Hu Wan seems to have learned some hard skills from outsiders to speed up the process of the exchange.

According to what Old Man Wei said, even if this is the case, every time Hu Wan soaks in the medicated bath, he has to wait two or three days. For normal people, once every ten days is normal.

But Yang Yu didn't feel tired, sleepy, and even this feeling was very good, which made him a little intoxicated.

It's just that there is no rejection in the body. After soaking it overnight, the skin is really unbearable.

This is the natural reaction of the human body, and it will be fine after a while.

"Does this mean that I can complete the 'exchange' faster than Hu Wan?"

Yang Yu thought to himself.

"Wipe your body."

At this time, Old Lady, who had watched the whole night worriedly, came over with the sheets and wrapped Yang Yu's body.

"grandma, you haven't slept yet?"

Yang Yu came back to his senses.

"When people get old, they can't sleep well when they change their place. The person from Yaxing sent the deed in the morning, and I put it away..."

Old Lady from Wotou and gruel came from the house, and they handed them to Yang Yu, telling him a piece of news that made him terrified:

"I went out just now and saw a group of people walking towards the outer city, and I heard people say, I'm afraid there's not really a plague, if we didn't come out early, we'd be stuck in that alley..."

"So soon?"

Yang Yu thought A 'crack' sounded, a little scared.

Black Mountain City or the entire Great Ming, the means to deal with the plague are very simple and rude. Most of them are to separate an area and drive all the people who may have been infected with the plague.

Hearing Zhu Shisan's words yesterday, he was a little worried that he would be blocked in the outer city, but didn't expect that the government started to act today.

Or is it worse than expected?

"The inner city is fine, but I don't dare to go to the outer city these days."

Seeing Yang Yu gnawing on his hair in a daze, the Old Lady gave a warning and went back to the house. Sleep, she is a little tired.

With the chaos in the outer city, she could only delay old fogey's funeral.

"Could this plague be related to Liansheng Sect?"

Yang Yu wondered.

Yesterday, Wang Fobao wanted to move into the inner city by himself, probably not without reason.

"Going to speed up..."

Yang Yu had urgency in his heart.

Black Mountain City seems to be gradually becoming dangerous. If there is no self-protection, once the danger comes, there is really only one way to go.

In the next few days, in addition to going out to buy some necessary things, Yang Yu hardly stayed at home. During the day, he sharpened his knives, practiced knives, and tortured his body in the yard.

With the repeated medicinal baths, his body, which was not so thin, became stronger.

At night, without any delay, soaking in medicinal baths and refining the broken knife.

crash-bang ~
The scalding hot water was poured into the big vat, and the water vapor evaporated, and Yang Yu already had smooth lines on his body.

"After soaking this time, the medicine ingredients will be gone..."

Swallowing the prepared stones, Yang Yu stepped into the water tank, covered his neck, slightly closed eye .

Having entered the 'Cauldron of Gluttony'.

Without any pause, he lifted the broken knife and started to chop. After a while, the progress bar on the tripod wall jumped again.

The refining of the broken knife has reached Perfection.

Om~
It's like the bronze bell in the temple being banged heavily.

Yang Yu was shivered, and before his eyes, there seemed to be many lights and shadows flickering, and images like a revolving lantern flowed through his mind.

"That's..."

In a trance, Yang Yu seemed to have a dream.

A real lucid, but intermittent, chaotic dream.

In his dream, he saw a taciturn young man who had inherited his father's business as a jailer.

He has no hobby and only likes to play with knives and guns. Unfortunately, his family is poor and no one can teach him martial arts.

After several turnovers, I only learned a few superficial kung fu.

But he practiced day and night, and after a long time, he actually practiced some tricks.

Relying on this Blade Technique, he became a jailer and married the widow in the alley.

I live my life diligently, even though I'm poor but peaceful, but sometimes I can't help but regret that I don't have children.

But it's just a pity, until that day.

He saw a beggar outside the city. The beggar looked thirteen-fourteen years old, thin and small. He wanted to enter the city, but was beaten out by the doorman.

A touch of pity rose up in his heart, and somehow took him down.

Take him into the city, wash and change for him, watch him eat, and even begging Constable Wang to take him into the yamen as an official.

It would be nice to have a son.

He thought to himself, after this trip to escort the prisoner, he would quit this job and do a good job for this child...

Let him read, let him practice martial arts, let him He got married and had children, let him...

Everything is fine,
Just don't be like myself...

The moment he fell off the cliff, his heart was full of disappointment and reluctance.

......

The chaotic memory flows like a marquee, but it is a person's life very quickly.

Finally, the picture freezes.

It was a dark and gloomy cave, with only faint firelight flickering. In front of the fire, an old man with disheveled hair sat beside a dead bone.

Holding a yellowed booklet, he studied page by page, chanted, and gestured.

"That's the Old Master?!"

Yang Yu was startled and wanted to take a closer look, but the picture in front of him suddenly shattered.

At the same time, the progress bar of 'Broken Knife' on the tripod wall also disappeared at the same time.

Yang Yu was a little stunned, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.

"Old Master did not die when he fell off the cliff, it seems, he has a fortuitous encounter?"
