On the snow-covered hillside, there are a row of stone houses and several wooden boats.
This is the fisherman's residence.
Every spring and summer, fishermen come here to go fishing during the day, and at night they light bonfires, mend fishing nets, drink and laugh, and the scene is very lively. As autumn approaches, the number of people gradually dwindles; when the winter wind and snow Covering the coast, this place has become a desolate place with no trace of people.
This year's winter is extremely cold, but there is an extra person and a horse in the stone house.
In the afternoon of that day, the door of the house creaked open, and a young man walked out.
Although he was in a world of ice and snow, he was not afraid of the cold. He was still wearing a thin gown and a pair of animal skin boots on his feet. He stood on the snow in front of the door and looked into the distance for a moment, then reached out and pushed open the door of the next door. The house was covered with withered grass, and lying on it was a strong black horse. He opened a bag of fodder and placed it on the ground. He was intimate with the horse for a moment, then turned and left the house, running to the seaside alone.
If the monks in Qizhou saw him, they should be able to guess his origin.
Yuye!
Yu Ye from Yujiacun!
A young man who killed many Qizhou monks, escaped from the pursuit of the Foundation Establishment Master several times, and challenged the Foundation Establishment Master Bu Yi!
His name has spread throughout the world.
But he himself knew nothing.
After Yu Ye escaped from Lingjiao Town, he hid in the mountains for a while. Seeing the weather getting colder, fearing that heavy snow would seal the mountains, he headed west to the sea. Seeing that the coast was desolate and deserted, and there were stone huts to live in, he stayed here. He breathed and practiced every day, and went to the beach for a walk in his spare time.
The beaches on the seaside are also covered with white snow. The incoming waves freeze into ice, which piles up in strange shapes on the shore. Above the sea, there are vast waves and gusty winds. It's like the heaven and earth are desolate, and there is a scene of desolation and killing in all directions.
Yu Ye walked to the rocks on the shore and looked up into the distance.
At this time, he still looked like a young man, but the childishness on his face was gradually disappearing, his eyes under his thick eyebrows were more lively, he seemed a little taller, and his body seemed a little stronger.
After this winter, he will be seventeen years old.
His cultivation also changed.
After arriving at the beach, he made an agreement with Jiao Ying that since he was the head of the family, he would establish two family rules. First, two people cannot practice at the same time to avoid getting twice the result with half the effort. Especially when he was improving his cultivation level, instead of seizing the spiritual energy, Jiaoying had to help him improve his realm, comprehend the exercises, and study magical powers. Secondly, major decisions were subject to negotiation, and it was up to him, the head of the family, to make the decision. Although Jiao Ying refused to agree, he had experienced his stubbornness, so he had to study and ponder his "Heavenly Forbidden Technique" and "Tai Shang Spirit Talisman". He himself was able to practice quietly for a while, and finally Raise his cultivation to the third level of Qi Refining.
However, he still felt that progress was slow. More than ten spiritual stones were consumed, which made him even more distressed.
As expected, he, the head of the family, was reprimanded again.
According to what Jiaoying said, practicing is like climbing a mountain. Only by taking it step by step can you make a difference. But you want to reach the sky in one step? Why don't you turn into a bird and fly into the sky, but you can't escape the hawks? And although you are only at the third level of cultivation, with the help of Jiao Dan, if you are gifted, the true energy in your body is comparable to the fifth level of Qi refining, it is easier to use the Seven Kills Sword Energy, and with the help of the Armor-Breaking Talisman, it is enough. Challenge any Qi refining master, what else are you not satisfied with? And your spirit stones are consumed much faster than those of Immortal Sect disciples, but it also shows that your foundation is strong! Do you know that during cultivation, Jindan monks often absorb dozens or hundreds of spiritual stones?
A family head who was reprimanded could only remain silent.
However, Jiao Ying's deep understanding and high insights into the martial arts books still made him admire him.
According to her, "Heavenly Forbidden Technique" is extremely extraordinary. Looking at overseas immortal sects, it is also a rare scripture of martial arts. Once it is cultivated to the state of Dacheng, it can display the great magical power of restraining the heaven and controlling the earth. The technique was extremely profound, and it took a lot of time for her to practice it. She persuaded Yu Ye to abandon the complex and simplify it, and first practice the trapping and forbidden techniques among the nine heavenly forbidden techniques.
The so-called trapping technique uses mana to form a talisman array and trap the opponent in an instant. It is similar to the Dragon Subduing Talisman, but its power is different from that of cloud and mud. The so-called forbidden technique is a derivative of the trapping technique. Wherever the talisman array reaches, all things are banned. The magic power is immortal and the trapping and banning will last forever.
Regarding the art of talismans, Jiaoying claimed that he didn't know much about it, but he had watched experts refine talismans, and he also had unique insights. She believes that the talisman-making method of "Tai Shang Spirit Talisman" is derived from the evolution of the talisman array of "Tian Forbidden Technique". As long as they learn from each other, one method can be applied to all methods.
As the saying goes, one method can be used, hundreds of methods can be used, and all methods can be used!
Jiaoying's guidance is like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, which benefits people a lot! It is luck and a blessing to have a mentor and friend like her by my side!
Once asked about her origins, she remained silent. Maybe she has an unbearable experience, maybe she has unspeakable difficulties...
Another gust of sea breeze blew, and the sleeves and hems of the clothes "popped".
Yu Ye was completely unaware and stood still.
His ability to protect the body with his true energy has grown from ignorance to proficiency, and gradually he can do whatever he wants. He only uses his true energy to protect his body and lets his clothes blow in the wind, which adds a lot of cold joy to him and makes him look no different from ordinary people. Both.
But at this moment, he was looking at the horizon and thinking about the past, but his focus was on the present.
Just like Jiao Ying's worry, what will happen in the future?
Going overseas?
The idea of going overseas is purely a helpless move. Today, there is no other place to stand in Daze. Instead of running away, it is better to go overseas and make a living.
And going out to explore and gain experience is not easy.
Back then, Mo Can went overseas alone with his ninth-level cultivation of Qi Refining, but failed to return home. Now that he only has the cultivation level of the third level of Qi refining, how dare he rashly travel far away alone!
What's more, Bu Yi and others are from Qizhou overseas. Going deep into the lair of those guys, you can imagine the danger!
Well, ideas are just ideas after all, and they need to be considered and weighed before making a choice!
As for his public announcement that he was going to settle accounts with Bu Yi, it had nothing to do with his thoughts. He just wanted to remind Bu Yi that he was far away from Xingyuan Valley and Lingjiao Town. He was not lying. The grudge between him and Bu Yi would finally come to an end.
Yu Ye raised his eyebrows, and there was a coldness in his eyes. Then he lifted up his clothes and sat down on the ground, slowly closing his eyes.
On the edge of the sea, on the rocks, he sat alone like this, listening to the sound of the waves and sighing, letting the cold wind hit his face, and guarding the peace in his heart...
It's getting late.
Yu Ye had enough of the sea breeze at the beach, got up and walked back. A trail of footprints is left on the snow-covered beach. But I saw him walking leisurely, his hands moving in the air, as if he was catching shadows in the wind, and as if he was trying to seize the moment of time passing by his fingertips.
Returned to the stone house.
Another strong wind blew, and the snow on the roof collapsed and fell.
Yu Ye raised his hand and grabbed it from the air.
A piece of falling snow paused for a moment, then turned into a cloud of snowflakes and flew away.
Yu Ye looked at his hands, thoughtfully.
The house was a bit dark, surrounded by old fishing nets, rice, salt, grease, firewood and other items left by fishermen. In the open space in the middle, there was an animal skin mattress spread out.
Yu Ye walked into the house, closed the door, and sat down cross-legged on the mattress, sometimes meditating, sometimes stretching out his hands to make gestures.
After a moment, he tried to reach out and grab it again.
Suddenly, a piece of firewood jumped out of the pile of firewood in the corner, and then fell to the ground with a staggering bang.
Yu Ye smiled slightly and looked happy.
During these days, while practicing, he has been pondering the trapping techniques of "Heavenly Forbidden Technique". Thanks to Jiao Ying's guidance, he has gradually figured out a few tricks.
And the trapping technique can not only trap the opponent, but it can also retrieve objects from the air?
interesting!
Yu Ye was somewhat overjoyed and wanted to call Jiao Ying, but shook his head and gave up.
Every time Jiao Ying makes a sound, he will be silent for two days. It can be seen that the weakness of her soul power is far worse than imagined. She was busy practicing at this time and it was really inconvenient to disturb her. And she said that as long as she practiced diligently and given time, she would be able to reshape her soul and become a human again.
I am looking forward to seeing her become a human being again and see if she looks as beautiful as Bai Zhi or as well-behaved as Cai'er...
Unconsciously, more than a month has passed.
Yu Ye stood in front of the stone house door and let out a long breath.
On the distant mountain tops, there is still snow.
On the hillsides and beaches in front of us, there was no snow at all. There seemed to be a hint of warmth in the cold wind. Even the sound of the waves is like spring thunder, calling for the resurrection of all things.
"Winter is over?"
"Um!"
"Got to go?"
"Um!"
"Where to go?"
"South of the Great Swamp."
"What's the distance?"
"Thousands of miles away."
"Well, without the spirit stone, it's hard to stay here and make a living by fishing. Let's go! No matter how many miles or thousands of miles away, I will accompany you..."
Yu Ye nodded silently and turned back to the house.
A few days ago, he had exhausted his last spiritual stone. But without the spirit stone, his and Jiao Ying's cultivation would stop here. As winter passed, he decided to leave this place. I remember Mo Can said that there is Huazhou Town in the south of Daze. The sea-crossing pier in Huazhou Town may be his last resort.
Yu Ye put the rice and salt in the house into the storage iron ring, and then dropped a piece of silver as compensation. For the long journey ahead, we must prepare enough food for the horses. When he turned to leave, he grabbed it again. A fisherman's bamboo hat flew up from the firewood pile not far away, and he caught it in his hand from a distance.
Although he has not mastered the trapping technique of "Heavenly Forbidden Technique", he has unexpectedly become proficient in retrieving objects from the air.
Yu Ye walked out of the door and whistled.
A black horse jumped out of the house, dancing with its hooves and neighing.
Yu Ye touched the ground with his toes, flew down on the horse's back, put on his bamboo hat, took out his long sword and inserted it into his bag. The horse neighed again, jumped up with its front hooves, and suddenly moved forward, chasing dust and waves all the way along the beach...
