Seeing the giant bear fall, both Hexagonal Dragon and Jiang Shuo breathed a huge sigh of relief. Although Jiang Shuo only flicked his fingers and didn't raise his arms at all, it seemed as if he had just experienced a dramatic fight and was actually losing strength. feel.
The Hexagonal Dragon lay on top of him, looking like it was surviving a disaster, and let out a "whoosh" breathing sound.
Just when one person and one dragon were rejoicing that they had survived the disaster, they suddenly saw the horse and bear swaying and standing up again.
The internal strength Jiang Shuo used in this shot was already quite strong. If it were an ordinary beast, it would probably have its brains exploded and die immediately. However, this horse bear was strong and strong, but it was only knocked unconscious by Jiang Shuo. It didn't take a moment. It had woken up, shook its head vigorously, bared its teeth and let out a low growl.
Seeing the Hexagonal Dragon, he hurriedly hid on the other side of Jiang Shuo's body with a "chirp" sound. Jiang Shuo secretly exercised his energy and found that the gathering of internal energy seemed to be faster than before. His fingers could already move flexibly, and he stretched out his hand on the ground. He touched and picked up a piece of gravel. This pebble was no more than the size of a fingernail, but with Jiang Shuo's restored internal strength at this moment, as long as he hit it accurately, he would definitely be able to penetrate his head and kill him with one blow.
Jiang Shuo held the stone in his hand, waited for the horse bear to get close, and then ejected the stone and shot it through its skull. However, the horse bear was shocked by Jiang Shuo's blow to the head, and kept shaking there, which made Jiang Shuo unable to aim. , dare not easily eject the stone in his hand.
Ma Xiong kept beating his head with his forepaws, trying to wake up his confused mind as soon as possible, while Jiang Shuo held his breath and thought about how close he would have to wait for the giant bear to get closer before he could be sure of ejecting the stones. .
The spinning feeling in the giant bear's head stopped for a moment, and it stared at Jiang Shuo, then pounced on him again. Jiang Shuo thought to himself: This is it! Just as he was about to throw out the pebbles, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly and urgently: "Don't hurt its life!"
Jiang Shuo was startled, and poured all his strength into his fingertips. The pebbles were still flying out, but he heard a soft "chi" sound. The pebbles flew past the giant bear's head, hitting the opposite ice cliff and embedded themselves in it. Once inside, if you hit the giant bear, you can imagine the result.
The giant bear was completely unaware that it had escaped death, and continued to charge towards Jiang Shuo while roaring. Although it was a beast, it was not completely unintelligent. After suffering losses several times, it finally realized that Jiang Shuo's power lay only in his hands. At this moment, she chose to avoid his fingers and bit Jiang Shuo's neck.
In the thin line between life and death, suddenly a brown shadow was seen flying from behind the giant bear. Monk Hu Yan flew onto the bear's back, wrapped his arms around the horse's neck from behind, and the horse bear immediately stood up. , howling strangely.
Although the plateau horse bear can stand upright like a human, it cannot turn its forelimbs to pounce backwards. Therefore, after being strangled by Mahayan's neck, it cannot break free. It can only shake its body desperately, trying to shake him off, but Mahayan's double Their arms were twisted together, and they were strangling the giant bear's neck. How could he let go?
After a moment, the giant bear rolled his eyes and passed out again.
After Mahayan subdued the giant bear, he jumped off the bear's back. Seeing this, the Hexagonal Dragon let out a cheer, rushed up and rubbed around Mahayan, appearing very affectionate. Jiang Shuo thought to himself: This Mahayan is really a crazy monk. , while telling me not to hurt this giant bear’s life, I strangled it to death.
But he saw that Mahayan was carrying a rattan backpack on his back. He took off the backpack and took out two small things. Jiang Shuo took a closer look and saw that they were two furry bears. Qi Dao: "Is the giant bear the biological mother of these two cubs? How could he abandon the young children and jump into the ice valley to die?"
Mahayan shook his head and said: "An ant is still alive. This beast is a mother for the first time. How can it seek death? Naturally, it also stumbled and fell."
Jiang Shuo asked curiously: "What is the giant bear doing on the glacier? There is nothing to eat."
Mahayan said: "It didn't come on its own. Just like you, it was chased here before it lost its footing and fell."
Jiang Shuo said amusedly: "I was chased by my enemies and fell off an ice cliff. This horse bear is the king of beasts on the plateau, but what was it that forced me to fall off the cliff?"
Mahayan said: "Judging from the size of these two cubs, this female bear just gave birth last winter. Horse bears usually move alone and have their own territory. Only a few days after the full moon in midsummer, Only male bears will look around and break into the territory of female bears in order to mate. After the male bears have sex, they will leave on their own and abandon the female bears. In winter, after the female bears give birth to cubs alone in the hibernation cave, they have to take care of the cubs. One year, and the following summer I won’t have sex with any male bears again.”
Jiang Shuo said: "The affection between licking calves is deep, and everything in the world is the same. I didn't expect that this ferocious giant bear also has this kind of family affection."
Mahayana said: "Namo Amitabha...little brother, you do have wisdom. You are right..."
He paused and said, "But male bears don't have such friendship. Male bears will regard cubs as trouble and will kill the cubs of female bears in order to have sex."
Jiang Shuo exhaled softly and said, "Ah... this is too cruel."
Mahayan said: "Yes... this female bear was entangled by a male bear. The male bear was not as ferocious as this female bear, so he wanted to sneak attack the two cubs to force the mother to submit. The female bear could only take it with her The two cubs walked all the way to the glacier to hide. They accidentally stepped on the ice cap and fell into the ice valley. Originally, both the cubs had to fall down. However, at the critical moment, the mother bear pushed the two cubs back up the cliff until they were injured. He fell down."
Jiang Shuo sighed: "I see, but... Great Monk, since you told me not to harm the female bear's life, why did you strangle it to death yourself?"
Mahayan said: "I just strangled it and knocked it unconscious. The giant bear became very ferocious just now. Even if I put the two cubs in front of it, I'm afraid they will be torn to pieces. To do good, you have to use it well. .”
At this time, the horse bear woke up again and saw two cubs suddenly appearing in front of him. He didn't believe it at first. He sniffed on the left and sniffed on the right. Only then did he confirm that they were really his cubs. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and stuck out his giant tongue. He licked the two cubs all over, then sat on the ground with his legs spread like a human being, holding the two cubs in his arms. The two cubs rubbed in his arms, and soon found their place. Suck it up.
It turned out that the big horse bear was still nursing. Jiang Shuo and Mahayan laughed together when they saw this, and the Hexagonal Dragon also made a strange "quacking" sound, as if imitating others' laughter.
After laughing for a while, Jiang Shuo thought of asking Mahayan: "Master, haven't you found Xiang'er?"
Mahayan shook his head and said: "There were several freezing rains in the glacier valley the day before yesterday, and a thick layer of ice was refrozen on the ice, covering all the marks such as horseshoes. I searched for it in the glacier valley for a day, and found No trace of the men or horses was seen.”
Seeing Jiang Shuo's gloomy expression, Mahayan hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't be anxious. Although I didn't find anyone, I sent several little dragons to other glacier rift valleys along the way, but no bodies were found. Jiren himself Depending on the weather, your Xiang'er might have another adventure and be out of danger long ago."
Jiang Shuo thought pessimistically: There was no trace, and it was possible that he had fallen into other similar ice valleys. But at this moment, he could only reassure himself and said, "Yes, Xiang'er is blessed with good fortune. It should be okay!”
Mahayan said: "When you recover from your injuries, you can go find her again. As long as we are destined to meet again, we will eventually meet again."
He is a devout Buddhist who firmly believes in fate and cause and effect, and his thoughts are very simple. Naturally, he cannot understand the entanglement and anxiety in Jiang Shuo's heart at this moment. Zi Gu took a selfie of the giant bear's back and said to Jiang Shuo, "I was still thinking about how to transport you out of the glacier, but now I have a helper."
Seeing him slapping the beast like this, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. However, the horse bear only cared about feeding its cubs. It had a rough skin and thick flesh, and it didn't pay any attention to Mahayan's slapping.
Jiang Shuo asked: "Great monk, when will I recover?"
Mahayan pinched his fingers and calculated for a long time, and said: "For ordinary people, if they encounter this kind of situation, they would be thankful to God if they can save their lives. Even if it takes ten or eight years, it is impossible to recover as before."
Jiang Shuo's heart sank after hearing this, and Mahayan continued: "If it is difficult to find a martial arts prodigy with good bones, and I take care of him carefully for five years, he may be able to recover."
Jiang Shuo was both happy and sad after hearing this. The happy one said that he might be cured, but the worried one said it would take five years to recover.
Mahayan said: "But, little brother, I see that the stone you just popped up with Qi is amazingly powerful. I have never seen someone with a broken spine have such power in his hand. What's going on?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Master Mahayan, you are my savior. I shouldn't hide anything from you. In fact, the internal energy I learned is different from other sects. All martial arts sects in the world gather Qi into the three Dantians. What I learn is The practice is to disperse the internal energy into the four limbs and bones. This kind of practice was originally very difficult, but at this moment, my spinal cord has not recovered, and the internal energy cannot be traced back. On the contrary, it has helped me a lot, and it has greatly improved the internal skills and mental methods I have practiced. benefit."
Mahayan clasped his hands together and praised: "Amitabha...how can such a strange thing happen? Let me diagnose the pulse."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to take Jiang Shuo's wrist. Jiang Shuo hurriedly said: "Great monk, be careful!"
He worked his mind for a moment, and his internal energy was immediately generated. Mahayan's finger was originally placed on the Neiguan point on Jiang Shuo's wrist, but it was immediately bounced away by a strong internal force. He leaned back and almost fell backwards. fall.
Jiang Shuo apologized quickly, but Mahayan didn't take it seriously at all, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are really a person with profound blessings! According to this, within three years, you may be fully recovered as before."
Jiang Shuo became anxious upon hearing this and said, "Ah... three more years?"
Mahayan smiled and said: "Three years is a short time... It will take a year for the spine to heal. By then, I will need to perform a second operation to connect the meridians. Otherwise, you have peerless internal strength but can't move. What's the use? This is another year, the third year. Although you can move freely, it will probably take another year to regain your internal strength..."
Jiang Shuo said sadly: "That's right... Monk, you are amazingly skilled. I shouldn't have had any other extravagant hopes. It's just that I was worried about Xiang'er's safety, and secondly, I didn't know who had chased me off the cliff in the past three years." How many people are going to be killed?”
Mahayan said seriously: "Boy, there is God's will in the dark. If it is up to you to save the world, naturally you are not afraid of waiting for three more years. Just relax..."
Jiang Shuo could only nod silently, but Mahayan suddenly smiled and said: "Don't think so far ahead, I have to think of a way to train this big guy first. You can't move now. In three or four months, you will be injured." During the initial healing process, Li Gu’s matter still has to be settled on this giant bear.”
Some people died, but not completely...
