Chapter 67: The Road of Bitterness is Cold and Cold
Da da da!
Several horses were galloping on the road, and one of them was our favorite little friend, a little brown horse.
When the urgent message from Hongque came, the two elders could not calm down. They knew that Jiang Yichen was impatient and it was useless to force him to stay, so they allowed him to go to the rescue with Wang Shide and several people from the Daoyi Alliance and Taiji Village.
Before leaving, the two elders told Jiang Yichen again and again that he should not be too hasty in his future cultivation of internal energy. It would be best to find a warm place and practice when the sun is shining. They also warned that if the frost still fails,
After cultivating the Snow Qi to the sixth level and unable to control the cold air in the body, one must not use internal energy indiscriminately, otherwise the meridians and internal organs of the whole body will be injured by the backlash of the cold air, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
The two old men walked to the entrance of the village and watched everyone leave.
"Alas~"
"Haha, there are times when we grow old and sigh."
"After this trip, where can I find an excellent environment like the Eye of Pure Yang in Tai Chi Village to practice such cold internal skills?"
"This happened suddenly, and we don't know what the situation ahead will be like. You and I are both uneasy. What's more, this child has deep feelings and righteousness. Even if he is forced to stay here, he has no intention of practicing."
"Yes, after getting along with this child these past few days, I have personally felt his innocence and kindness. Thinking that he has been suffering from tuberculosis since he was a child, I can't help but feel pity for him."
"When Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a man, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, only by tempering his mind and forbearing can he benefit what he cannot."
"Oh, you have such expectations for this son?"
"In troubled times, heroes emerge, but they still have a long way to go. I don't know whether they can overcome many difficulties and be so lucky to turn danger into safety again and again."
"In troubled times? Are you already so pessimistic?"
"Does all the events that have happened in the past few months still make you have any luck with this world?"
"Oh, it's not that I'm lucky, I just don't want to recall the nightmare situation more than ten years ago, let alone such a disaster reappearing in Zhongzhou... However, this boy is not heroic enough, but he is courageous with swords and heart, chivalrous and tender.
I really like it, so a few days ago, I made a special prediction for it, would you like to hear it?"
"Of course, I'd like to hear the details."
"This son has a difficult life. Although there are noble people to help him, the most important thing is that he has to fight for it on his own. However, I think that his character is gentle and kind, and he is not a competitive person. I'm afraid..."
"Afraid that because of a temporary compromise and retreat, he will end up on the same path as Xuan Xiao?"
"Yes, in the past, Xuan Xiao of the Wudang Sect also had a tragic life. Fortunately, he met Yuan Zhen, and he was introduced to the right path. Then he was born like a dragon, dazzling, but in the end he was ashamed and committed to Yuan Zhen.
, was burdened by the sect, had his internal strength abolished, was banned for life, and was destroyed in one day.”
"There is a price to pay for growth. We cannot interfere with this child's future achievements. We can only wait and see. However, I admire this old man more and more."
"how you said that?"
"vision."
"vision?"
"This guy has an ordinary appearance, is reserved and low-key, and doesn't like to show off. Just like water dripping into the sea, it is difficult for others to notice."
"You mean the power of a spark is enough to start a prairie fire?"
"Presumably the old man has this expectation. However, everything still depends on the child's own destiny. The current situation, only in terms of internal strength, if he can survive the tempering of this frost and snow true energy, his subsequent practice will be flawless.
, and the damage to the Dantian may be a blessing rather than a curse. Ordinary people will be burdened by internal skills with conflicting attributes, or their cultivation progress is slow, or they have reached their limit after practicing three of the five elements' internal skills, and it is difficult to make any further progress.
situation, and this child may be able to create miracles because of this."
"Oh, what you said makes me even more excited. Speaking of which, who do you think this child is? I have been observing carefully for a long time these days, but I have never noticed it. There seems to be no one with the surname Jiang in my memory.
Old friend."
"Haha, if it weren't for your old eyesight, you would have forgotten that old friend a long time ago."
"Hey, hey, old man, stop trying to tantalize me. Just tell me."
"Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said."
"you……"
…
In the afternoon of the next day, the people and horses who rushed out from Taiji Village traveled all the way through the starry night. They were only a few dozen miles away from Xijiang County. They saw the sky change suddenly, the sun was covered with darkness, the air was low, and accompanied by the rustling autumn wind,
I can already feel the slightest bit of coldness coming over me.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred in the eight-man cavalry team galloping on the road. One man suddenly fell off the horse. Fortunately, the man following him had quick eyes and quick hands. He hurriedly pulled the reins and made the horse leap high. He could barely avoid it.
Avoid accidental injuries.
Everyone reined in their horses and stopped, not knowing why.
"Young hero?!" The one who spoke was Wang Shide. He had already dismounted from his horse and was running towards the fallen man. The fallen man was none other than Jiang Yichen. At this time, he was covering his chest with his hands, frowning, and dripping with cold sweat. Seeing this, he seemed to be extremely angry.
Uncomfortable.
"Shi De, time is tight and there is no room for delay. If the young hero is unwell, why don't you stay and take care of him while we go ahead?" The leader was a swordsman from the Daoyi Alliance wearing a bamboo hat, who came back on his horse and said.
"This... young hero, are you okay? Although this place is above the official road, the area is remote and in the wilderness. There are not many people around, so it is not suitable to stay. If we can persist, let's go to the front to find an inn to rest.
Right?" Wang Shide asked after hesitating for a moment.
"It's also a way, Lao Wang, just work hard and take the young hero to find a place to rest, so as not to cause trouble." Another plain-clothed swordsman on the side said coldly. He is one of the three people in Tai Chi Village.
leader.
At this moment, raindrops fell, and then the autumn rain started and the cold wind blew.
Jiang Yichen never thought that just now, as the autumn wind got stronger and the chill grew stronger, the coldness in his body would resonate with him. At the same time, the frequency of jolts caused by galloping horses was too high, making it difficult for him to suppress the coldness in his body, and he fell off the horse in a daze.
, and as the heart-chilling raindrops gradually hit his back, Jiang Yichen could no longer hold his nerve and coughed non-stop, looking like an old man.
Several people nearby heard this and snorted softly, all scorning Jiang Yichen for being so weak.
When the coughing gradually subsided, Jiang Yichen forced himself to raise his head and open his eyes, scanning the surrounding scene.
Although everyone in Taiji Village respected him as a guest in the village, they did not take him seriously at this moment. They stood in front of him and treated him coldly.
Although several members of the Daoyi Alliance gathered around on horseback, they did not say a word. Only Wang Shide's eyes showed concern.
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover for a while. You go with them first. It's important to rescue Hongque and the people from the Wuxiang Sect. I can handle it myself." Jiang Yichen said with a forced smile despite the pain.
"That's very good. Young hero can have a good rest. It's enough for us to go." Before Wang Shide could say anything, the plain-clothed swordsman in Taiji Village heard Jiang Yichen's words and immediately received it.
"Yes, don't worry, young hero, we will definitely live up to your trust!" The voice came from the people in the three Tai Chi villages in front, with a strong sense of sarcasm.
"Shi De, if the young hero can do it on his own, let's go and get on the horse." The leader of the Daoyi Alliance urged.
"It's okay, Brother Wang, you can go ahead." Jiang Yichen said softly, not wanting to embarrass Wang Shide.
"Then young hero, take care of yourself." Wang Shide did not dare to delay any longer and got on his horse.
"Take care, young hero."
"Take care, young hero."
…
Before everyone rode away, they all said goodbye to Jiang Yichen in a very polite manner.
Before leaving, Wang Shide secretly left his bag beside Jiang Yichen. The situation was helpless, and this was all he could do to help.
As the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, the rain became heavier and heavier.
Jiang Yichen sighed softly. He would not delay everyone's schedule for his own sake. He never thought that those who claimed to be chivalrous could be so cold and heartless. Perhaps this was due to the coldness of the world and the warmth of human relationships.
As soon as he thought about it, the chill in his body suddenly became strong. Jiang Yichen hurriedly sealed his meridians, not daring to think about it any more. He lay down on the back of the little brown horse and let this old man take him away from this place.
Sometimes, people are no more reliable than animals. At this time, the little brown horse set an example and led his master to a dilapidated thatched house before nightfall.
This house is not big, just the size of an ordinary house. The thatch on the roof is fluttering and bending in the wind and rain. You can tell at a glance that this place has been abandoned for a long time. However, it is better than nothing. In this sparsely populated place, you can find a corner for shelter.
You should feel extremely lucky to be sheltered from the wind and rain, and to avoid suffering and freezing in the miserable wind and rain.
The door was ajar. After Jiang Yichen determined that this was an unowned house and that there was no one in the house, he assumed the role of the owner and politely led his friends into the house to take shelter from the rain.
Under the cold wind and rain, after Jiang Yichen had eaten to replenish his strength, out of caution, he did not dare to open his acupuncture points to regulate his inner breath in such weather, so he chose a warm place in the house that would not leak from the rain.
The corner is covered with thatch, ready to rest.
However, with the instigation of the cold external environment, the cold air in Jiang Yichen's body did not calm down due to the closure of his meridians. When his mind was completely relaxed, it came back with a fierce momentum, attacking his internal organs again, vowing to
