Time passed unconsciously, and when Zong Fengtu came to his senses, the sky was already filled with stars.
On the dim snowfield, people and snow seem to have merged into one, making them indistinguishable.
Zong Fengtu heard his stomach growling. He turned around and saw Wan Chaoyang next to him looking at him awkwardly.
"Brother Zong, it's already so late, we should go back to eat."
Zong Fengtu smiled and said
"good."
Wan Chaoyang looked at Lu Dongxuan, who had forgotten himself, and shouted softly:
"Brother Lu!"
Lu Dongxuan was pulled back from his selflessness and looked at the two of them doubtfully.
Wan Chaoyang said
"Brother Lu, should we go back?"
Lu Dongxuan frowned slightly. He looked around. On the snowy field, only a few people left here. The rest stayed where they were, still showing no intention of leaving.
Lu Dongxuan hesitated and said
"I have such an opportunity, and I don't want to miss it."
Zong Fengtu smiled and said
"Brother Lu, being too persistent will often lead to a dead end. In addition to the great harvest when we first arrived, we have no more insights now that most of the day has passed. Go back and take a nap and change your mood. Maybe we will be able to do it again tomorrow. New discoveries.”
Lu Dongxuan thought for a long time and nodded slightly.
said
"All right."
After saying that, he reluctantly stood up and followed the two of them away slowly, but every few steps he took, he would always look back at the stone wall.
There is no wind and snow tonight. Looking up at the stars in the snowy field, I always feel that the stars are very close and the bright stars can be seen more clearly. Zong Fengtu sat on the roof and silently stared at the stars in the sky, his eyes softening.
"Why do I feel homesick all of a sudden?"
Zong Fengtu said to himself.
"Brother."
At some point, Wan Chaoyang also came to the roof and sat next to him.
said
"Hearing what Brother Zong said, I feel a little homesick."
Zong Fengtu glanced behind him and asked
"Where's Brother Lu?"
Wan Chaoyang smiled and said
"He went to bed early. He said he would get up early tomorrow to continue studying the Sword God's inheritance."
Zong Fengtu sighed, shook his head slightly, and suddenly asked
"Brother Wan, what do you think of that stone wall?"
Wan Chaoyang was stunned, wondering why Zong Fengtu asked this
"Brother, are you suspicious of that stone wall?"
Zong Fengtu looked at the village. None of the Jianghu people who originally lived in the village had returned. They must still be staying at the stone wall. He looked outside the village again and saw that the cave dwellings were all dark. , no one returns.
"I always feel like something is wrong."
Wan Chaoyang patted Zong Fengtu on the shoulder.
"It is indeed strange that Youfu is willing to make the stone wall public."
Zong Fengtu looked at Wan Chaoyang's expression and smiled.
"Brother Wan, you don't seem worried at all."
Wan Chaoyang stretched, yawned, and said nonchalantly
"Because I don't care about being invincible, let alone pursuing immortality. I just want the freedom of this life. If you don't have desires in your heart, others can't take advantage of you."
Zong Fengtu laughed
"Hahaha, Brother Wan, if everyone is as free and easy as you, where will the conflicts in the world come from?"
Wan Chaoyang's eyes suddenly turned to the distance
"Brother Zong, look what that is."
Zong Fengtu looked along where Wan Chaoyang was pointing. From far away on the horizon, a red firework suddenly shot through the layers of clouds and mist, exploding in the night sky almost as high as the top of Kunlun Peak. It was dazzling.
An undetectable smile flashed in Zong Fengtu's eyes, and he said apologetically to Wan Chaoyang
"Brother Wan, I have something to do and I have to leave for a while..."
Wan Chaoyang waved his hand, still with the same indifferent expression, yawned, lay down on the roof, and said
"Go ahead, everyone has their own secrets, and I'm not interested in prying into other people's secrets."
Zong Fengtu smiled and said
"Come back and drink together."
After saying that, Zong Fengtu jumped up, left the village at an extremely fast speed, and jumped down the mountain, his back gradually disappearing on the snowy field.
Wan Chaoyang looked at Zong Fengtu's back and said in surprise
"Good guy, the Kuofu level is different. His body skills are far superior to those of yesterday."
Zong Fengtu left not long ago.
"Squeak!" With a sound, Lu Dongxuan pushed open the door.
Wan Chaoyang sat up, Lu Dongxuan looked into the distance, in the direction where Zong Feng Tu disappeared, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he said solemnly
"How about it, Brother Wan, what I said is right, this brother really has a secret."
Wan Chaoyang smiled and said
"Brother Lu, everyone has secrets. As long as Brother Zong has no intention of harming us, there is no need to delve deeper."
Lu Dongxuan said
"Brother Wan's words are wrong. There are many strange things hidden in this sect brother. He is said to be from the Taishan sect. He is not much higher than the two of us, but he can easily take out ten thousand taels of silver notes. This is amazing. It’s enough for me to live in Langhuan Sword for two years. No matter how rich his Taishan sect is, he can’t be so squandering. Look at the masters who can live in this village. They are all from the big sects and have great skills. At least they are all first-class masters at the Kuofu level. Even those with no background cannot afford to live here and can only suffer the cold in the cave dwellings outside. Besides, you also saw the red fireworks just now. Who knows? There is someone like him outside to support us, Brother Wan, we must be careful not to be taken advantage of by him."
Wan Chaoyang looked at him, a little disappointed
"Brother Lu, what you say is a bit unkind. Brother Zong is not close to us, but he treats us as close friends. Without him, the master at the foot of the mountain can seriously hurt you with one palm. Without him, we can't We have to live in caves like those people, and besides, since he is richer and more skilled than us, what can we have that is worth his plans?"
Lu Dongxuan snorted coldly
"Hmph! You didn't say that that palm was okay. I didn't understand it at first. Now that I am at the Kuofu level, I understand that if that palm was really powerful at the Kuofu level, how could it be possible with the power of my elder brother at that time? If you can't block it, maybe you asked someone to put on a show for us to win our trust."
Wan Chaoyang looked at Lu Dongxuan in disbelief. He could not imagine that Brother Lu, who was still feeling sorry for himself yesterday, could say such words at this time.
"Brother Lu, no matter what, brother Zong has never treated us badly. You can't be so heartless. If brother Zong wants to do harm to us, there are too many opportunities."
Lu Dongxuan snorted and said lightly
"It's important to be on guard against others. He thinks that we are new to the world and have no foresight. But I am not a soft persimmon. I can let him do whatever he wants. Brother Wan, you have to be careful. Today he called us back. Take another look. In and around the village, any of those Jianghu people have returned. Could it be that they are jealous that we entered the country too quickly and are afraid that we will surpass him? Maybe he secretly went to Shiqiang to meditate at this time."
When Lu Dongxuan said this, his expression changed and he said
"No! We have to get there quickly, we can't let him beat us to it."
With that said, he quickly ran out.
"Brother Wan, come quickly!"
Wan Chaoyang looked at his leaving back, his eyes filled with disappointment. He kept shaking his head and sighed.
"Brother Lu, you are too persistent and blinded."
I don't know how many hours passed, but the sky was bright and the light in the east had already appeared in the sky.
Wan Chaoyang, who was lying on the roof waiting for the Zong seal, heard the gentle sound of stepping on the snow outside the village.
He sat up, and a figure gradually walked towards their house, and something was thrown out of the figure's hand.
"then!"
Wan Chaoyang took it, and the thing made a "sloshing" sound. It was a pot of wine.
He looked at the figure, it was Zong Fengtu.
Zong Fengtu jumped onto the roof with a smile
"Brother Wan, try it."
Wan Chaoyang smiled slightly, a mouthful of hot wine passed through his intestines, and the blood in his body seemed to boil.
“Good wine!”
Zong Fengtu looked at the bottom
"Brother Lu hasn't woken up yet, and I want to ask him to drink together."
Wan Chaoyang's expression froze and he said
"He, after you left last night, he went to the stone wall. It seems that the stone wall was very tempting to him."
Zong Fengtu thought about it for a while, understood it, patted Wan Chaoyang on the shoulder and said
“It’s not a bad thing to be competitive.”
Wan Chaoyang nodded, not thinking about Lu Dongxuan anymore, and drank another mouthful of hot wine.
"Ha! In this world of ice and snow, being able to have a sip of hot wine and drink it with a close friend is one of the great pleasures in life."
Zong Fengtu had just taken a sip of wine, laughed heartily, and was about to speak.
But they saw Gou Sheng standing below with a piece of hot porridge, shouting:
"Two distinguished guests, come down for breakfast!"
Wan Chaoyang and Zong Fengtu glanced at each other, smiled, raised the wine in their hands, and said to Gou Sheng
"No, we have this."
Gou Sheng shook his head and walked back with breakfast, mumbling something.
"Two drunkards."
The two people in the room smiled at each other and continued drinking.
After three rounds of wine, Wan Chaoyang was slightly tipsy and looked slightly red. He looked at the horizon and saw that the sun had completely emerged from the sky.
"Brother Zong, we have to go to Stonewall."
Zong Fengtu also had a rosy complexion and said
"Yeah, let's go."
With that said, the two of them jumped off the roof with slightly swaying bodies and swayed out of the village.
When the two arrived at the stone wall, they saw someone fighting at the stone wall.
Zong Fengtu composed himself and looked carefully, only to see that one of the people fighting was the gray-robed middle-aged man, Zhang Jianyang, but he didn't recognize the other one.
I saw the two of them fighting fiercely. The Jianghu man could actually fight Zhang Jianyang back and forth. Zong Fengtu was a little confused, and Wan Chaoyang also said in confusion.
"Brother Zong, when did a grand master come here? I didn't see him yesterday."
Zong Fengtu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a low voice
"I'm afraid someone broke through."
I saw that the man became more and more courageous as he fought, and he was evenly matched with Zhang Jianyang. After hundreds of moves, the two separated.
The man kept laughing wildly
"Hahahaha, I am finally a master, and I have become one of the top masters from now on."
Zhang Jianyang smiled slightly, his eyes filled with relief, and nodded.
"very good."
The right envoy sitting in the center also rarely opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and said
"Everyone, this knight has already broken through to the master level. As long as you study hard, you will surely become a master at the master level like this one."
The man was satisfied and bowed to the right envoy to thank him.
The right envoy asked
"Are you still willing to stay here and meditate?"
The man said decisively
"nature."
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged again and continued to meditate on the stone wall.
Zong Fengtu and Wan Chaoyang found Lu Dongxuan who was studying the stone tablet in the sea of people.
When the two of them arrived not far from Lu Dongxuan, Zong Fengtu shouted
"Brother Lu."
Lu Dongxuan turned around, glanced at the Zong seal map, and then turned away.
Zong Fengtu felt a little weird, and there was clearly some complaint in Lu Dongxuan's eyes when he looked at him.
Wan Chaoyang looked at Lu Dongxuan silently.
Zong Fengtu asked in a low voice
"Brother Lu, what's going on?"
Wan Chaoyang was silent for a long time, looked at Lu Dongxuan with complicated eyes, and said
"Brother Lu, I'm afraid it's because you had to let him go back last night. Now that someone has become a grandmaster, I'm afraid he's jealous."
Zong Fengtu laughed at himself
"It's not mine."
Wan Chaoyang said
"That's all, I won't bother him anymore, just sit down here."
Zong Fengtu nodded, and then the two of them sat on the spot and began to study the stone wall. Zong Fengtu's face was still a little rosy at this time, and his eyes were a little blurry.
It's just that the stone wall today was a little different in his eyes. The ten sword moves on the stone wall became confusing in his eyes at this time. Originally, each sword move was a human figure holding a sword, but Now, in Zong Fengtu's eyes, the human figure became more and more blurry, but each sword became clearer.
The swords slowly formed a line, connected end to end, gradually becoming a clear and coherent vein.
Zong Fengtu rubbed his eyes
"This is……"
He looked at Wan Chaoyang beside him and found that Wan Chaoyang seemed to have seen something strange, with a solemn expression.
"Brother Wan!"
He called Wan Chaoyang softly.
Wan Chaoyang looked at him
"Brother Zong, why do I feel like the sword in this picture seems to have been trained into a meridian?"
Zong Fengtu was surprised. It turned out that Wan Chaoyang also noticed it. He thought he was dazzled by drinking too much.
Wan Chaoyang said again
"Could it be that we two drunkards were blinded by this?"
Zong Fengtu smiled and said
"I thought so too."
While the two were discussing, they saw another person standing up.
"boom!"
The internal energy flows outside that person, stirring up waves of snow-white dust.
"I'm brave enough to invite Senior Zhang Lialiao to try his skills."
After saying that, he rushed out in a hurry. Zhang Liolao opened his eyes, smiled faintly, stood up and fought with the man.
In the sea of people, countless Jianghu people looked at the two people in the fierce battle with envy and jealousy.
Wan Chaoyang looked at the two of them and said
"I don't know how many masters will be born."
Zong Fengtu looked at the sword on the stone wall and felt more and more like a connected meridian.
"No matter how I look at it, it looks like a luck vein."
Wan Chaoyang said
"Don't look at it. I'll give it a try and I'll find out."
Wan Chaoyang stood up swaying, with a strong momentum on his body. A gust of wind blew by, his hair was flying in the wind, his sleeves were fluttering, and he looked like a peerless master.
"Ah!"
He let out a low voice and mobilized all the internal energy in his body. He was still at the core level at this time, and his internal energy had not yet entered the meridians. He had to follow the veins in the picture and mobilize the true energy in the bones in a similar sequence.
The true energy traveled to all the bones of his body, and finally concentrated in the fist wind, and he punched out violently.
"boom!"
Infuriating, there was a faint muffled sound, but it did not cause any shock, and it seemed that nothing had changed.
Wan Chaoyang looked at Zong Fengtu with disappointment
"It doesn't seem to be of any use."
Zong Fengtu smiled and said
"Maybe we are really drunk."
Wan Chaoyang smiled and sat down, but the moment he sat down, he suddenly felt a slight difference. He felt that his inner strength had become fuller, and it seemed that the punch just now did not consume anything. Internal force.
He said doubtfully
"Am I really drunk? Why do I feel like I have a little more internal energy after being punched?"
Zong Fengtu was also puzzled. He looked at the line on the stone wall, shook his head and said
"No matter how you look at this line, it is a move that outputs internal force, but it looks no different from the moves of various sects."
Wan Chaoyang said
"How about you try it too?"
Zong Fengtu nodded, and he stood up unsteadily, punching along the lines on the stone wall, but there was no change in his feeling.
"How about it."
Wan Chaoyang asked earnestly.
Zong Fengtu shook his head, sobered up a little, sat down and said
"I feel like nothing has changed."
Wan Chaoyang smiled and said
"It seems we drank too much."
Zong Fengtu said
"No, I mean, after punching out, I felt that the internal energy in my body was reduced, but it was filled again in an instant."
Wan Chaoyang felt it and wondered
"No, when I just sat down, I felt that my internal power not only did not decrease, but also increased a little. Although it was not much, it did increase a little bit. But now I feel it again, and I find that my internal power has decreased again for no reason. What happened? thing."
Wan Chaoyang burped
"It seems I really drank too much."
