Lin Erhu opened his eyes and found himself lying on a large rock. What caught his eye was a stone cave glowing with colored light, which was the secret place of his Lin Family Fort.
Suddenly, a bald man appeared in his sight, a pair of small eyes staring at him, and he was startled.
Isn't this the chicken thief?
Why is he here?
Yang Si turned around and shouted: "Uncle, this tall guy is awake!"
Since witnessing Wang Cheng's shocking other side, he has become extremely honest, and his brother-in-law called him again.
Wang Cheng came over, leaned over to feel Lin Erhu's pulse, pondered for a moment, and said, "There are still some toxins left. I've given you a prescription. You just need to take the medicine on time."
Lin Erhu struggled to get up, and then bowed respectfully to Wang Cheng: "Thank you, young hero, for saving your life!"
He knew exactly what happened during the night and knew who saved him.
Wang Cheng waved his hand, opened his palm, and in the palm was a loquat with a heart of fire, and said: "This elixir..."
Just before he finished speaking, Lin Erhu immediately reached out and interrupted, saying: "I'll give it to you young hero."
It's not that he doesn't want the Fire Heart Loquat, but he doesn't dare to do it. Even Chen Si, San, and Chen were dealt with, not to mention that in his current state, his life is in someone's hands.
"I don't want you for nothing! According to the market price, a low-grade elixir is worth a thousand taels of silver."
Wang Cheng took out ten gold bars from his arms and handed them to Lin Erhu. He took out the box of gold that Xu Guang paid him. He was not short of money now.
Lin Erhu looked at the glittering gold bars and sighed. This was the first time he had seen so much gold. It was really dazzling. No wonder his brother would go against his will and hook up with an outsider in private.
He pointed at Lin Sanbao, who was lying on the side without any movement, and said: "Young hero, my brother..."
Wang Cheng said: "He was more seriously injured than you. He had more than ten broken ribs. It will be difficult to recover within three or two months."
Wang Cheng couldn't say enough about Lin Sanbao. From Chen Si's memory, he learned that he was jealous of the colorful world outside and sold out the fact that Lin Jiabao had the elixir.
The elder brother Lin Erhu is a typical conservative and has always been wary of the outside world, while the younger brother Lin Sanbao is a reformist. The two brothers have completely different philosophies on life, so there was a fight later. In the end, if he hadn't appeared, the two brothers would have been killed by Chen Si.
Wang Cheng explained a few words, left two prescriptions, and came to Zhang Xiaosheng again.
Zhang Xiaosheng leaned on a big rock and looked at him, his sparse white hair scattered. He was still as thin as a skinny man. He looked like an old man stepping into the coffin, except for his eyes, which were as black as two abyss.
Wang Cheng handed the Fire Heart Loquat into his hand and said, "Senior, it's okay."
Zhang Xiaosheng put away the Fire Heart Loquat without being polite, because this elixir was very important to him, and said: "It's always good to explain clearly! We are not gangsters, even if we take the elixir, we must do it in a proper way, and I will have to deal with people from Linjiabao for a while!"
Wang Cheng nodded, and he would take advantage of the unique environment here to practice in seclusion until he mastered the first level of the "Golden Body Art".
"Help me get up, let's go inside the cave and have a look. It's not easy here!"
Yang Si supported Zhang Xiaosheng and walked into the cave with Wang Cheng.
Lin Erhu watched the three people go deep into the cave, and his expression gradually became complicated.
Along the way, they encountered human-faced blood bats again, but they couldn't stop the gun in Wang Cheng's hand and knocked down one of them with one shot.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the deepest part of the cave. Lying on the ground were corpses of human-faced blood bats. On the roof of the cave above the Fireheart Loquat tree, dozens of human-faced blood bats were hanging upside down.
Wang Cheng directly used his killer weapon and threw a grenade.
"boom!"
With a violent explosion, everything fell silent, and there was nothing on the top of the cave.
"What is this? Why is it so powerful?" Yang Si hid aside and marveled.
Zhang Xiaosheng also said solemnly: "The power displayed by this thing is beyond the reach of ordinary masters!"
"What about you, old man? Can you hold on?" Yang Si asked curiously.
Zhang Xiaosheng said angrily: "You little bald donkey knows nothing about the masters of the Perfect Realm! Wu Zong is not a fool. If you really want to hide, that thing can't hurt you!"
Wang Cheng is convinced of this. Although he has never seen the power of a martial arts master, he has seen many first-class martial arts masters. He really needs to be familiar with the principles of firearms. It is difficult for bullets to hurt these people, so the He didn't use the gun as much as he could. Once he used it, it was mostly used as a hidden weapon to strike suddenly.
The huge explosion just now did not affect the Fire Heart Loquat tree, not even a single leaf fell.
Zhang Xiaosheng pointed to the Fire Heart Loquat tree and said: "Have you seen the fiery red leaves? The world only knows that loquat fruit is extremely precious, and the loquat leaves are actually very powerful. They can be mashed into juice and applied to the skin to strengthen the body and strengthen the muscles and bones. Consummation will be a thing of the past!”
Wang Cheng is also very clear about the efficacy of loquat leaves. The secret recipes for elixirs left by Zhang Jishi are clearly recorded. As for how to use them, Zhang Xiaosheng has to operate them.
He finally realized that someone's teachings were completely different from those of Ye Luzi.
Stepping forward to take down a few bunches of loquat leaves and picking a few immature loquat fruits, Wang Cheng suddenly froze on the spot.
wrong!
Something is wrong here!
If there is only one exit in the cave, how do these human-faced blood bats live here?
You know, the entrance to the cave is sealed all year round, so it is impossible for a human-faced blood bat to be born out of thin air!
There must be other exits here!
Wang Cheng walked to a stone wall and looked up. Sure enough, he saw a hole with a diameter of nearly half a meter a few meters high.
He jumped up, grabbed the hole with his hands, and then used force, and his upper body jumped out of the hole.
The next moment, his eyes lit up.
Outside the cave, the night has passed without knowing when, and a red sun rises from the horizon.
What you see is a huge basin with lush vegetation, dim green and pleasant scenery.
There is a large pond deep in the basin. The water is clear and reflects the sun. It is surrounded by wooden houses, half surrounding the pond, and smoke rises from cooking stoves.
Yang Si stepped on the solid ground, looked at everything in front of him, and said in disbelief: "Isn't this amazing?"
Behind you is a bare volcano, but in front of you is a vibrant paradise.
Zhang Xiaosheng's dark eyes flashed, and he said: "This Lin Family Fort is not simple! One light and one dark, light in front, dark behind, it is somewhat like the style of a reclusive family!"
"What is a hidden family?" Yang Si was curious.
Zhang Xiaosheng explained: "The world is in turmoil and dynasties are changing. Some families choose to escape from the world to avoid disputes. Escaping from the world does not mean that they are not born. They are often divided into two lines, one in the light and the other in the dark. When the time is right, they will be born again!"
"Let's go! Go and have a look!"
The three of them entered the basin and walked a hundred steps to see a cemetery. They all sat west and faced east, indicating that this was a wealthy home.
In this cemetery, there is a tomb that is so tall and large that the surrounding tombs are protected by the stars and the moon. A black stone tombstone in front of the tomb is engraved with "The Tomb of the Crouching Tiger Mountain Man".
"It's him!"
Wang Cheng was shocked, how could he forget that he was able to break through the Qi and Blood Realm thanks to the "Crouching Tiger Breathing Technique".
Zhang Xiaosheng sighed softly: "I didn't expect to encounter the tomb of the senior boxing champion here. It seems that the rumors are true. The senior boxing champion did retreat to the mountains and forests for a period of time."
"Boxing champion?" Wang Cheng thought thoughtfully. The self-narration of Crouching Tiger Mountain Man did not mention that he broke through to the realm of King Wu. It seems that Crouching Tiger Mountain Man had another experience later.
"Boxing champion Nanshan Hu, the son of a mountain man, started practicing martial arts in his teens, but he became a late bloomer. He broke through to become a martial arts master at the age of forty, and became a grand master at the age of fifty. After that, he traveled around the world in search of ways to break through the realm, and then disappeared. . At the age of seventy, he was able to break through the barrier of life and death, and broke through to the realm of King Wu in one fell swoop."
Zhang Xiaosheng said: "The reputation of the Southern Boxing King was resounding throughout the Zhou Dynasty, no less than that of the martial arts supreme Zhou Huang more than 400 years ago, because he is not a descendant of the clan, nor is he the son of a wealthy family, he is just an ordinary person. The mountain people. Later generations of people who practiced martial arts mostly took the Southern Boxing Champion as their example, and they still practice it to this day."
Wang Cheng nodded secretly. Since ancient times, ordinary people who counterattack and become strong have always been praised by everyone, because those from rich and aristocratic families are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Old man, I've heard the name of Nan Boxing Champion. Isn't the Nan family he founded in Yuezhou? Why do we still have his cemetery in Lingzhou?" Yang Si was puzzled.
Zhang Xiaosheng slapped him on the head and said, "Are you illiterate? This is a tomb! The Yuezhou Nan family you mentioned was built by his old man after he became a powerful king of Wu!"
"It was built by Queen Chengwu? Then you must not be seventy years old, my dear, marrying a wife and having children in your seventies? This is quite romantic!" Yang Si secretly exclaimed.
"You kid know nothing!"
Zhang Xiaosheng slapped him again and said: "The strength has reached the level of King Wu, which is already very comparable to others, and the physical functions are far superior to those of young people. Let alone seventy years old, one can have children at one hundred years old!"
This is the difference between people who practice martial arts and those who practice Taoism. Every time the body of a person who practices martial arts improves to a higher level, the physical function will undergo a leap. It cannot be measured by years, so there are often people who are seventy or eighty years old. An older warrior gives birth to a child.
Those who practice Taoism only practice mental power, and their physical functions are far inferior to those of warriors. After the age of seventy, like ordinary people, they have almost no fertility.
However, the lifespan of a Taoist cultivator is far longer than that of a martial artist, because the former's soul becomes stronger and stronger as his cultivation level improves, and he can even become immortal!
Yang Si's little eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Bow down!" Zhang Xiaosheng suggested.
Naturally, Wang Cheng would not refuse. This could be regarded as his mentor, so he solemnly bowed three times.
The arrival of the three people alarmed the people in the village, and a tall man walked over.
He has gray hair that hangs naturally around his shoulders, and wears a long green robe. He is in his fifties, has a square face, black hair, and a big mouth slightly grinning, giving people a naive, honest and honest feeling.
Zhang Xiaosheng was shocked when he saw the person coming, and said: "It's you!"
