From then on, Xiao He only focused on practicing. He only said that his true energy was becoming more and more abundant. Under the training of the demon, his speed, body skills, and the skills of using the true energy of the Dantian were already impressive. Even he
Even he didn't realize that his strength was improving rapidly.
Five years later, in the dark forest of Hanshan Mountain, a figure was running quickly through the mountains and forests. From time to time, he would raise his left hand and gently kiss the ring on his finger. This figure was none other than Xiao He.
The cold mountains and black forests are very widespread. Xiao He flew for an hour, and the surrounding scenery was still the same, without any change. Suddenly, he heard the whistling of the wind, and turned around to see a big snake, covered in pitch black.
, only the head was silver-white. At this time, the beast bared its fangs and attacked him.
Xiao He was startled and took two steps back. He then somersaulted forward and circled to the back and top of the strange snake. He kicked hard and the strange snake fell forward, and its big head fell heavily on the ground.
Xiao He then made a swallow fly up into the clouds, and used the tree trunk to float in the air, looking at the big snake proudly. This beast must have never encountered an opponent in this generation, and today it was kicked hard by such an unknown creature that did not look like a beast.
Feet, I couldn't react for a moment. I shook my big head, turned around and saw that Xiao He was looking at me with a smile. He was angry for a moment, with a fierce look in his eyes. He straightened his body and actually grew ten feet taller.
Only then did Xiao He realize that he had encountered a tough opponent and should not be careless. He sacrificed the Dragon Valley Sword and prepared to start a fierce fight.
The big snake screamed hoarsely, and then charged forward, its triangular head like a sharp sword. Xiao He dodged, tapped the branch with his toes, and jumped three feet. The big snake turned around to attack again, and Xiao He used the "Devil's Day" to break the sky.
When returning to the wild goose formation, he used the dragon's kick technique to move around while slashing at the big snake. He then retreated without getting entangled at all. The snake was huge and had difficulty moving in the woods. Xiao He slashed it dozens of times at once.
, I saw that its eyes were bloodshot, and its big silver head also turned black, and its whole body was very clumsy in color. The big snake shook its head, roared to the sky, its body flew straight into the sky and hung on the branch, its head hung down, and it spit out flaming words from its mouth.
Nobuko.
Xiao He secretly thought that it was not good. He believed that he had really angered it. He must not hesitate to fight, so he had to fight quickly. Xiao He thought like this, and the big snake stretched out like a lightning bolt to attack him. Xiao He waited for the ground with his feet in turn, retreating frequently, while
He stepped back and threw the sword in his hand into the air. He folded his hands to form a sword. His Dantian continued to charge his hands with energy. He retreated another three feet. At this time, the big snake had already flown dozens of feet. Plus, he was focused on attacking the enemy.
If he could continue to persist, Xiao He saw that it was the moment when he was exhausted and I was exhausted. He found the right moment and drew the sword with both hands. The energy in the Dantian was not reserved at all, forming a substantial white light that shot out from the fingertips and attacked the big snake's eyes.
.
There was only a "pop" sound, and the big snake spurted blood from its eyes, and it was already blind! At this time, the Dragon Valley Sword in the air stabbed straight at the big snake with the black evil energy around it, and this sword stabbed the big snake's throat.
Above, Xiao He activated his thoughts again, but the Dragon Valley Sword seemed to have encountered great resistance and was pulled out no matter what.
The big snake was blind, so it didn't know what was stabbed in its throat. At this time, it was only showing its bestiality due to the severe pain, and it was banging around. The blood spurting out of its throat was getting faster and faster, like a column of blood. The big snake was gone.
He fell to the ground with strength, his body twitched twice, and then he ran out of energy.
Xiao He had just used up all the energy in his Dantian, and was at the end of his crossbow. The last sword was completely based on his will. He had the strength to draw the sword, but was unable to draw the sword. At this time, when he saw that the big snake was dead, the last trace of his thoughts was also withdrawn, and he fell to the ground.
On the ground, passed out.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt a cool feeling in my mouth. I slowly opened my eyes and saw an old monk with a white beard feeding himself water. What he held in his hand was his own gourd.
"Little layman, you're awake," the old monk said.
"Thank you, senior!" Xiao He said.
"This silver dragon was beaten to death by a young layman." The old monk said slowly, without any tone, like a question or a statement.
"It was the younger generation who did it," Xiao He replied.
"The name of this snake is Silver Dragon. It is the blood type closest to dragon among all the snakes in the world. If you practice it for a long time, you can fly and transform into a dragon. The poor monk has just looked at its muscles and bones. If you practice for several hundred more years,
, I’m afraid it will turn into a dragon!”
"In this case, I'm afraid it's this junior's fault," Xiao He sighed. "I'm afraid this junior accidentally walked into the place where it practices! It's really a sin!"
"Everything has a cause, little layman, don't be too caring, there is no big or bad thing in the world." said the old monk.
"Master, I have just learned a little and have no say in the world's right and wrong." Xiao He said with emotion, "Senior, in this cave not far away, I have seen the inscription left by Senior Yangshan on the stone wall. His words go like this
, the forty volumes of Buddhist scriptures are all said by demons, and the younger generation are ignorant and do not understand.”
"Senior Yangshan is my senior brother." The unknown old monk said this.
Xiao He was greatly surprised at this time, his mouth was open and speechless.
"This inscription on the wall was something that the poor monk came up with after discussing it with his senior brother. I don't want to mention it again. I believe that the young layman will have his own opinions once he goes to heaven and earth." The old monk said calmly in his low and hoarse voice.
As he spoke, he still had no tone when mentioning his apprentice.
"The younger generation is brave and dares to ask the holy monk his Dharma name and where he practices, so that when he is trapped in the world of right and wrong, he can pay a visit and relieve his knot!"
"There is no fixed place for walking, cloth shoes sweep the world," the old monk said with a smile, but his figure had drifted away.
From far away in the sky, the deep voice of the old monk came: "Little layman, you have just glimpsed the path of cultivating immortals. You are able to fight the silver dragon and win. You are really gifted. You must not have even noticed your own state.
There are no armor in the mountains, and it is so cold that one does not know the year, but the gourd in the hands of the little layman is deeper and more indistinct than these mountains."
"Thank you, senior" Xiao He raised his head and shouted.
Xiao He was walking back, with all kinds of emotions in his heart. He couldn't digest all the things he had experienced in the past few days away from home. He didn't know what he would face in the future!
Xiao He returned to the cave and told the demon all about what he had just encountered. The demon could only lament that he had never met the eminent monk. Now he went out to look for it, but he could not find it! The demon knew very little about the old monk.
His master Yang Shan also mentioned it accidentally without going into details, and there was no rumor about this monk in the world at all. However, when the old monk left, he left the words "There is no fixed place to walk, and the cloth shoes sweep the world", but Xiao He kept it in his heart.
, I don’t know if I will be destined to see the master again in this life! Xiao He thought in his heart.
After the incident passed, the mad demon only said that he had something to do, and asked Xiao He to go down the mountain to practice on his own. When Xiao He asked again, the mad demon refused to say anything. He just asked Xiao He to take out the silver dragon's snake gall, which could be used as an excellent tool for alchemy in the future.
Medicine introduction.
In this case, Xiao He had no other choice. He guessed that his master might want to find the eminent monk. Besides, he had been away from home for many years and it was time to go back and have a look.
Xiao He did not have time to learn the alchemy method from Mad Demon in the future, so he just followed Mad Demon's instructions and took out the snake gallbladder from the corpse of the silver dragon and took it with him.
Xiao He flew all the way towards his home. During these five years of practicing in the mountains, the first magical skill that Xiao He and Mad Demon learned was the flying skill.
Xiao He flew at a low altitude like this. Soon after, a familiar city came into view. This was his hometown - Yuanshan City. He had been away from home for many years, but he felt a lot of emotion at this time. Xiao He smiled bitterly at himself and pressed down his body.
The forest path fell to the ground outside the city. Somehow, after living in the mountains for many years, now that I see my own town, I just want to walk.
Xiao He walked into the alley like this. The fiery red sun was shining in the sky, shining on the red bricks and green tiles of the distant mountain city. The cornices were hanging out, the signs were floating, the cars and horses were rolling, and there was an endless flow of people. There were teahouses and taverns on both sides of the street.
, butcher shops, foot shops, or small vendors holding big umbrellas, the sound of selling is endless, it is really a prosperous and bustling market.
Xiao He walked briskly and familiarly to his home, and walked outside the gate. This time, he did not use his cloud-climbing kicks to fly in and out as usual, but went forward and gently knocked on the bronze-green color.
door knocker.
After a while, the vermilion gate opened to the left and right, and a head emerged. When he saw Xiao Shi, the man's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
Xiao He smiled and said: "Uncle Ding, I'm back!"
"Master! It's really you! It's really you!" Uncle Ding rubbed his eyes and confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed Xiao He. He was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
Uncle Ding, the housekeeper, opened the door and invited Xiao He to come into the courtyard, but he ran towards the inner house ahead of Xiao He, shouting as he ran: "The young master is back, master! What a happy event, the young master is back! The young master is really back!"
Xiao He looked at Uncle Ding's back with a moved expression. Although Uncle Ding was the housekeeper of the family, he grew up with Uncle Ding and never regarded him as a servant. In Xiao He's eyes, Uncle Ding was an elder he respected very much.
.
Mr. Xiao heard the noise outside and said, "Old Ding, what are you shouting!"
At this time, Butler Ding had already run into the hall, still unable to conceal his excitement and said: "Master, the young master is back!"
"He'er? Is He'er back?" Mr. Xiao said while walking outside the house. Xiao He also followed Uncle Ding all the way to the inner courtyard. When he saw Mr. Xiao outside, Xiao He smiled slightly and said respectfully.
: "Father, I'm back!"
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" After Mr. Xiao finished speaking, he asked the maid beside him: "Hurry and report to Madam!"
Soon, Xiao He's mother rushed to the hall and shed tears when she saw Xiao He. Xiao He looked guilty and said, "The child is unfilial and has made my mother worried in the past few years!"
"You child, there has been no news for so many years. I asked your father to send people to find your whereabouts, but there has been no news. I thought..." Xiao He's mother became more and more excited as she spoke, and even cried.
"Look at you, the child finally came back, why are you crying?" Mr. Xiao said pretending to be serious.
Hearing what the master said, Xiao He's mother held back her tears, wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and continued: "Tell me, where have you been these years? Why don't you send a letter to your family to say you are safe?"
Xiao He said: "I met an expert and have been learning martial arts from him for these years."
Since his master, Dian Mo, had specifically warned Xiao He not to reveal who his master was easily, Xiao Hecai also concealed the fact that he practiced immortality with Dian Mo.
"Which master is he?" Xiao He's mother asked.
Xiao He smiled awkwardly and was speechless for a moment. He really didn't want to deceive his mother and didn't know how to answer. At this time, Mr. Xiao came to the rescue and said: "You are a woman, you may not know who he is, let alone He'er
When he gets older, he can tell what is right and what is wrong, so just let him handle his own affairs!"
After hearing what the master said, Xiao He's mother stopped asking questions. After calming down her mood, she began to order her servants to prepare dinner.
Before dinner, Xiao He went back to his room and changed into a milky white Wen Sheng Gongzi uniform. He sat cross-legged on the bed and once again took out the gourd given to him by the wine monster. Over the years, although his attainments in the practice of immortality are not considered extraordinary.
His talent, however, has also improved by leaps and bounds. He is as serious as an epileptic demon and will praise him a few times. The Dragon Valley Sword that the epileptic demon gave him back then can now be used freely. The only thing about this wine gourd is that Xiao He still can't figure it out. Every time he talks about it, he can use it freely.
When the consciousness is poured into the gourd, it is like hitting an iron wall.
Just when Xiao He was staring at the gourd hesitantly, his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. The servant outside the door said, "Master, please go to the front hall for dinner."
"Okay, I understand, let's get over it." Xiao He responded politely.
After that, Xiao He didn't think too much and walked towards the front hall casually.
Walking into the front hall, just as Xiao He thought, his mother prepared a sumptuous dinner. Over the years in the mountains, she has been eating spiritual energy and cultivating food. Apart from wild fruits, she has never eaten any other food. Now it seems
When we came to this banquet, we couldn't even feel the slightest appetite.
But what surprised Xiao He even more was that there were two more guests at today's dinner.
"Hello, Uncle Ouyang! Hello, Sister Xin'er!"
"Hurry up, I haven't seen you for a few years, I didn't expect you to be such a talented person!" The man Xiao He called Uncle Ouyang said kindly. This man was Ouyang Tieshan, Xiao's good friend for many years. Xiao He had been with his daughter Ouyang Xin since he was a child.
Got engaged.
Seeing Xiao He, Ouyang Xin also said happily: "Brother Xiao He, where have you been all these years? Have you encountered anything interesting?"
Xiao He sat down next to his father and said with a smile: "In these years away from home, I have indeed encountered some anecdotes!"
"Can you tell me a story later?" Ouyang Xin said.
"No problem." Xiao He responded politely.
Although the father and daughter of the Ouyang family did not mention the engagement, Xiao He guessed the purpose of their trip. The meal was a little awkward, and gradually, Xiao He felt a little tired of coping.
Before Ouyang Tieshan mentioned the engagement, Xiao He said first, "Uncle Ouyang, I am a little tired after working hard all the way. You continue to take it easy. I will have a few more drinks with my father later, and I won't accompany you anymore."
, please don’t be offended!”
After Xiao He finished speaking, Mr. Xiao said from outside: "Your uncle Ouyang is here to see you, what do you look like when you leave the table first!"
"Hey! Don't blame him. He'er must be tired. It's okay. You can go out for a walk. We two old people can talk about ourselves!" Ouyang Tieshan said to smooth things over.
Xiao He nodded respectfully like Ouyang Tieshan again, then turned and walked towards the backyard.
In this way, Xiao He strolled alone to the small garden in his backyard, flew to a rockery pavilion and sat down, feeling many emotions for a while.
