The cold wind is like a knife, using the earth as a chopping board and treating all living beings as fish and meat.
Thousands of miles of flying snow turns the sky into a furnace and melts everything into silver.
The world is a hunting ground, where the weak eat the strong.
When a man enters the world, he only strives for fame and fortune.
Liaodong has been a place of bitter cold since ancient times. It is also the middle of winter at this time, and the chill penetrates the bones and turns the breath into ice.
In a vast mountain forest covered with snow, Hu Yuan was walking around wearing only a thin Taoist robe and carrying a dead roe deer with yellow skin and white buttocks on his shoulders.
His steps seemed to be unhurried and slow, but in fact, with each step, his body moved forward seven or eight feet, and when the soles of his feet landed on the snow that had accumulated more than two feet thick, they would only sink slightly, leaving a very small gap. Shallow footprints.
This is because he is walking slowly at the moment. If he really uses his body skills to leap and fly, the so-called "stepping on the snow without leaving a trace" in the martial arts is not difficult to achieve.
At this moment, there was still heavy snowfall all over the sky, but every time a falling snow flake threatened to touch Hu Long's body, it would be shaken away by a soft and dense invisible force.
Therefore, after walking in the snow for a long time in the mountains, his head and body were still fresh and refreshing, and not a single piece of snow had fallen.
Looking at the endless undulating snowy mountains in the distance, Hu Long thought of his two previous lives as if in a dream, and couldn't help but feel endless emotions in his heart.
Counting on his fingers, it had been more than three years since he came to this world to start his third life.
In his previous life, after his parents and wife died one after another, Hu Long saw that his children and grandchildren had achieved success and no longer had to worry about it. Finally, he followed the old path of his master Lu Siniang and tried to seek transcendence through the Taoist "corpse dissection" method. the road.
Little did he know that when this technique was used on him, he would actually experience something even weirder than his master, Lu Siniang.
The rich and pure inner strength that he had cultivated for decades suddenly went out of control without any warning, and all of it converged on the gourd birthmark on his right arm.
Then the birthmark turned into a gourd-shaped red light that enveloped his entire body, and a black and yellow light spewed out from the mouth of the gourd at the top, tearing through the void like a sharp blade, enveloping him and escaping somewhere. Mysterious space.
At that time, Hu Long felt that he was shrouded in red light and only stayed in that space for a short moment, but he could vaguely see that in the endless darkness outside the red light, there were countless concrete and micro universes that were born and destroyed like bubbles, repeating the cycle endlessly. Beginning without end.
The next moment, the much dimmed gourd-shaped light group spat out a ray of dark-yellow brilliance, opening a gap in the space, once again carrying Hu Long and escaping, landing on a nearby snow peak, and then quickly dissipated.
Hu Long's first reaction at that time was to look at the gourd birthmark, only to see that it was still on his arm, but the color had changed from red to orange.
Then he discovered that his body, which had begun to show signs of decline as he entered his twilight years, had returned to its peak state, and even his appearance had returned to that of a man in his twenties. The price was that his realm had reached its acquired peak early, and his experience had already reached its peak. The rich and pure inner strength that had been accumulated and polished for ten years was gone.
Fortunately, the innate divine power he had in his second life not only still existed, but also seemed to have greatly increased. Otherwise, if he had not been trapped to death on that steep snowy peak, he would have ended up in the belly of those hungry beasts. food.
After finally descending from the snow-capped peak and walking to a place with gentle mountains and sparse trees, Hu Long finally discovered traces of human activities.
After following these traces for another half a day, we finally found a village.
He pretended to be a lost person and went to find out the news. However, due to the lack of information in the countryside, the villagers had limited knowledge. They only learned that he was in Liaodong, and the time was during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty.
With his past life experience, Hu Long guessed that this world was probably not the Ming Dynasty in history.
Adhering to the principle of being a steady person, he decided to choose a place to live in the nearby mountains and forests for a period of time. He would rebuild the lost inner strength and have enough self-protection ability to explore this world in depth.
Because he had the knowledge and experience from his previous life, it was a matter of course for him to rebuild his inner strength.
In just three years, Hu Yuan was able to practice again to the peak of the acquired world by relying on the more mysterious "Liangyi Xuan Gong" that he had revised and upgraded many times in his previous life.
When he returned to his peak, Hu Yuan immediately received a huge surprise: Although it was just a vague and mysterious feeling, he truly sensed that there was some mysterious energy floating in the world.
It is precisely because of the existence of this ethereal energy that in the past life, there were countless talented warriors in that world, and the invisible shackles that made them unable to touch the innate realm no matter how hard they tried were faintly loosened.
Thinking about the past in his heart, Hu Long took out the jade gourd that his wife Cheng Lingsu gave to him as a token of their love. He unscrewed the lid and raised it above his head, pouring down a waterfall of mellow and refreshing wine. Lie on your back and open your mouth to accept.
Strangely enough, as his throat trembled and he kept swallowing, nearly a kilogram of fine wine entered his stomach in a moment, and the jade gourd that was no more than the size of a palm continued to pour out wine.
"Ouch——"
Hu Long's drunkenness was interrupted by a wild and ferocious roar.
Hearing the roar of a fierce tiger, Hu Yuan immediately became interested. He thought that he would inevitably need money to leave the mountain and return to the world in the future, so he might as well take this beast and exchange it for his travel expenses.
He did what he thought of, immediately put away the gourd and used his body skills to fly away in the direction of the sound. Where his feet landed, there was no trace left on the snow.
After climbing a mountain, I saw a gentle hillside in front of me. Six or seven miles away, there was indeed a giant creature with colorful fur lying on the snow, claws bared and roaring. And a dozen steps in front of it, there was a figure standing with a sword. Upright figure.
While Hu Long's body was rejuvenating, he also gained a wonderful ability out of thin air - his vision and hearing became extremely sharp.
Just as he could clearly hear the roar of the tiger more than ten miles away, at this moment he could see clearly that the person holding a sword and confronting the tiger was a childish-looking man only seven or eight years old from six or seven miles away. Young man, and the sword in his hand is actually just a long thin piece of iron sandwiched between two pieces of cork.
Seeing that the tiger was ready to move, Hu Long threw down the roe deer on his shoulder without thinking, and used his Qinggong with all his strength. His body turned into a wisp of light smoke that lost its form, and flew down the hillside at extremely fast speeds.
Perhaps sensing the appearance of a third party, the tiger, which had been inexplicably wary of the young man in front of him, finally put aside all scruples, roared wildly, and leapt forward, its open mouth filled with sharp white needles. The teeth seemed to bite the boy's head off in one bite.
At this moment, Hu Yuan was still some distance away. With a thought, a flying knife appeared out of thin air in his hand.
In his previous life, when he decided to try the method of "decomposing corpses" to pursue transcendence, apart from the clothes on his body, Hu Long only brought the most important things: the black iron dagger given by his master Lu Siniang, and the "Bingxin Poison-preventing Pill" given by his wife. "And the jasper gourd and the three flying knives as the trump card.
After passing through that mysterious space and traveling to this world, these things also experienced some changes.
It's just that the daggers and flying knives, which are not ordinary things, have become sharper, and the magic elixir has stronger effects in repelling and detoxifying. The most mysterious thing is that the jade gourd has become a legendary space treasure, with a space about one foot square formed inside. Inanimate objects can be put in or taken out according to the will of the owner Hu Long. At this moment, it is This is the flying knife he held in his palm.
Just as the flying knife was getting ready to go, Hu Yuan suddenly discovered that the young man stood motionless under the attack of the tiger. The right hand holding the sword was still as stable as a rock, and even his delicate and handsome pale face. There was no change in their expressions at all, and I suddenly realized that my worries just now were unnecessary, so I just held the flying knife in my palm without firing it.
Sure enough, at the moment when the tiger fell to the ground above his head, the boy's upper body suddenly bent back, and the simple iron sword in his right hand thrust straight upwards as he leaned back.
There is no ingenuity or change in this sword. The only advantage is that it is fast. It is as fast as a shadow and lightning. Almost at the same time as it is thrust out, the tip of the sword has been deeply inserted into the tiger's throat from bottom to top and then pulled out again. .
After the young man completed the simple action of drawing out and retracting his sword in a flash of lightning, his body moved three feet sideways while keeping the lower half of his body upright and the upper half of his body tilted back.
The huge body of the tiger slumped down from the air, making a big hole in the snow beside the boy, and then became motionless.
Hu Long could see clearly with his sharp eyes that the depth of the young man's sword had definitely reached the tiger's brain, completely cutting off its vitality.
