Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 108: An Unexpected Gain
The Tianlong Sect and his party stayed at the Sangxi Inn for two days, but there was no sign of departure. Jitang and Luo Rong went out on horseback and came back after dark. After dinner, Elder Meng suddenly informed everyone that they would set off tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Tianlong sent everyone to leave Sancy Castle.
On the roadside outside the east gate, shopkeeper Cao took Xiaolan and Xiaohei in Xiaolan's arms. The pillars carried Cao An, and the family saw everyone off.
Elder Meng and his disciples clasped their fists at Shopkeeper Cao who came to see him off and said, "Haha! Shopkeeper Cao, we have been harassing each other a lot in the past two days, so I say goodbye!"
"You saved Cao's family from fire and water. This is a deep feeling that I dare not forget! I wish all the heroes and righteous men a bright future!" Shopkeeper Cao gave a deep salute to everyone in the Tianlong Sect.
Elder Meng laughed loudly, led everyone, and rode away.
The carriage drove past the Cao family.
"Brother Lin...!" Shopkeeper Cao and Cao An looked reluctant to leave. Lin Yi nodded with a smile, waved his hand gently and said, "Brother Cao has trouble with his legs and feet, so you should all go back!"
Shopkeeper Cao hurriedly took out something from his arms and said to Lin Yi: "Brother Lin, this is what my ancestors got in the mountains. No one knows what it is. I give it to Brother Lin now as a thought!"
Lin Yi looked curious and reached out to take it. What he picked up was a black lump the size of a fist. It was neither gold nor iron. He couldn't understand it for a while. Looking at Shopkeeper Cao's eager expression, he put Black Knot into his arms and said with a smile: "Lin Yi accepted the old shopkeeper's wishes. It's cold here, so Shopkeeper Cao should take Brother Cao back! Take care of yourself!" "
Lin Yi got on the carriage and the wheels rolled. It turned a corner and headed east.
Inadvertently, Lin looked back and almost jumped out of the car.
I saw Shopkeeper Cao and his family kneeling on the ground, holding their fists in the distance...!
"Why did this family kneel down?"
“This family is really polite and kind!”
…
Lin Yi slowly withdrew his gaze, his expression serious.
…
The snow was much thinner, and the road was frozen hard, making a clicking sound when the horses' hooves stepped on it.
Behind Lin Yi's carriage, Brother Yuan Qing was still sitting, but the difference was that there were a few more pickled frozen pork in the carriage.
While eating the fresh mutton in Fort Sancy, the wild boar meat made me lose interest. Leave a few pieces with shopkeeper Cao, and hang the rest on two carts.
"Boy, are you in a bad mood?" Zhen Yuanzi saw that Lin Yi had a gloomy face and remained silent for a while, so he had nothing to say.
Lin didn't even raise a glance or say a word.
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head boredly.
"Thousands of miles away from here, we are all in the Gobi Desert, sparsely populated! It will kill me to be a boring gourd like this!"
…
"Okay! Why don't you admit that I was wrong?"
…
"Actually, it's not considered a sneak attack. Do you think that when there is a sneak attack, do you still give a warning?"
…
"My acupuncture skills are very good, I won't accidentally hurt you!"
…
"Yuan Qing, Yuan Feng, come forward and talk to me...!"
…
The carriage and horses traveled for a day, and the snow gradually disappeared. They stopped for one night at night and continued their journey at dawn.
"When the old Taoist was young, he liked to travel around and met countless capable people and strangers..."
…
"Now that the old man has passed the age of knowing his destiny, he still enjoys it. His only thought is to go to sea for a trip."
…
"What do people who practice Tao care about most? It's not the way to immortality or immortality. This way is the most elusive and makes people obsessed with it!"
…
"Boy, I haven't said a word for two days. That's enough! You can't kill someone with just a nod of the head. If you are wrong, you are wrong. What else do you want? Do you want to tap my acupuncture points once? Forget it, you can tap the acupoints too. No. Even if I teach you, you won’t be able to learn it for a while.”
"Bring it -!" Lin Yi shook his head, as if waking up from a dream, and stretched out his hand to Zhen Yuanzi.
"What are you doing? You're scaring the old man!" For the past two days, Zhen Yuanzi had been talking to himself alone. He was accustomed to Lin Yi's silence and thought he was sitting next to a wooden stake.
The sudden sound of the tree stump startled the old man.
"How do you know I can't learn it? If there is any acupuncture technique, it's okay to borrow it for reference!" Lin Yi still stretched out his right hand, turned around and grinned at Zhen Yuanzi: "Is it possible that the Taoist priest is just joking, afraid that others will learn it? Now, my own martial arts are no longer rare! If that’s the case, then that’s it!” As he spoke, he retracted his hands into his robe sleeves, looked forward, and remained silent.
The sudden grab made Zhen Yuanzi blush slightly. After thinking about it, he snorted, took out a thin booklet from his arms, and laughed: "Boy, don't use the provoking method. This acupuncture technique is something that even your inner disciples of the Tianlong Sect will not teach easily. , not to mention you, a disciple of the outer sect. I am not a stingy person, so what if I just lend you a lesson? If you want to learn this skill, you should change your sect as soon as possible and become a disciple of the old master!"
Lin Yi raised the corner of his mouth, took the booklet and took a look - "Fengyun Acupuncture Hand".
Opening the title page, you will find the hidden secrets of Baiyun Temple inside. There are illustrations of various acupuncture points and various techniques of acupuncture and acupuncture, which are very detailed. However, there is no corresponding exercise method. I think I need the inner strength and mental method of Baiyun Temple as the foundation. If you don't have internal strength, you won't be able to practice "Fengyun Acupuncture Hands" even if you hold this booklet for decades. What the old Taoist said is true. But, for me, this booklet is enough.
"What is Fengyun?" Lin Yi slowly looked through the book in his hand and asked casually.
Seeing Lin Yi's focused expression, Zhen Yuanzi felt a little disappointed and replied: "In the stormy times, take advantage of the situation!"
Lin Yi seemed to have a clear understanding, nodded, and continued to read page by page slowly.
The book was very thin. No matter how slowly and carefully he read it, after half an hour, Lin Yi still closed the book in his hand and handed it to Zhen Yuanzi.
"Thank you, Taoist priest!"
Zhen Yuanzi took the book and looked through it again. The book was in good condition and the boy didn't do anything. But in this short period of time, this sect's secret knowledge was casually flipped through by the other party, and then handed back to him like a worthless thing.
"Have you finished reading it all?" Zhen Yuanzi stared at Lin Yi with suspicion on his face.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said, "Let's take a look at it again!"
"Have you remembered everything?" Zhen Yuanzi asked with luck.
Lin Yi nodded again and said, "That's right!"
Zhen Yuanzi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You kid actually has a photographic memory?"
Lin Yi frowned and asked, "Isn't the booklet very thin?"
Zhen Yuanzi had already put the booklet into his arms and couldn't wait to ask again: "Then, how do you feel about this acupuncture technique?"
"It's so wonderful, it's eye-opening!" A smile appeared on Lin Yi's face.
Zhen Yuanzi hesitated for a moment and asked uneasily: "Can you use this Fengyun acupuncture hand?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be difficult!"
"You kid is bragging!"
"I don't brag!"
"Click my finger and see!"
"I can't do it!"
…………
"Yuan Qing, Yuan Feng, get out of here—!" Zhen Yuanzi shouted angrily at the back.
Yuan Feng and Yuan Qing ran over in a hurry.
Zhen Yuanzi took out the "Fengyun Acupuncture Hand" and threw it to the two of them, and said: "This acupoint hand is a secret that is not taught by our sect. I wanted to pass it on to you two during this trip. Let's start today. Each of you will memorize the booklet." Once you’ve memorized it, return the booklet to me in three days!”
"Thank you, Master!" Yuan Qing looked surprised and laughed at Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng couldn't help but be happy, with a smile on his face. Seeing the happy expressions of the two apprentices, and then looking at the silent and indifferent Lin Yi next to him, Zhen Yuanzi's face darkened.
"As a cultivator, you should keep your emotions and anger hidden. Look at what you two bastards are like."
…
After coming out of Sancy Castle, the Tianlong Sect and his party stayed overnight for three days in a row.
The road became increasingly desolate, not even a human figure could be seen, and the mountains were bare. Although it is the lean season, there is not a blade of grass underfoot. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the sand is flying everywhere, making it difficult to open your eyes. The sky was dim and it was already late in the evening, but such a strong wind and sand made everyone have nowhere to stay and could only continue moving forward.
Lin Yi learned from Zhen Yuanzi that this place is close to the edge of the sand sea thousands of miles north, so it is not surprising at all that wind and sand are raging. The bare mountain rocks are filled with ravines and intertwined teeth. When the wind blows, it is like thousands of troops passing through, and various strange sounds are whistling continuously, which is frightening to hear.
After walking for another four or five miles, the sound of the wind gradually became weaker.
Looking up, in the twilight, the surroundings are surrounded by rocks of different heights, like a maze. The huge rocks are like swarms of monsters, with teeth and claws showing, and their faces are ferocious. Fortunately, they are all masters in the world, so they are not lost in the sight before them.
The carriages and horses gathered together, and everyone looked embarrassed. No firewood!
Zhen Yuanzi claimed that he was all about mountains, rivers and geography, and he never expected to encounter such a predicament.
Lin Yi asked Zhen Yuanzi, where are the dead trees and dry firewood? The old man urinated and escaped!
Everyone had no choice but to leave some disciples to guard the carriages and horses, while the rest looked around for something to make a fire.
Lin Yi asked Jin Ke to stay and look after the carriage.
Mr. Jin only felt that Junior Brother Lin at this time was not more of a relative than a relative, and he would naturally follow Lin Yi's suggestions. Going out and traveling is difficult. Without his grandfather by his side, Jin Ke has become a good boy.
In order to take care of each other, the disciples traveled together in twos and threes. Lin Yi, who was ignored by no one, could only walk alone into the darkening night.
After walking more than ten feet away, Lin Yi looked around and saw no human beings. There was only the sound of wind whimpering in his ears, sometimes distant and sometimes low, as if thousands of lonely ghosts were crying and wailing.
Lin Yi held the long sword, spread out his spiritual consciousness, and with a slight leap, he jumped onto a large rock four to five feet high and looked into the distance. There were no traces of bushes or dead trees nearby. You could see clearly all the way when you came here, so there was no need to look back. The wind was very loud in the north and the carriages and horses were in the east, so it was better to go to the south and have a look. If you really can't find him, forget it. If you come out, you are fulfilling your duty as an accompanying disciple.
Lin Yi tiptoed on the boulder and ran south. The moon is dark and the wind is high, so I am not afraid to reveal my whereabouts. Jumping more than ten feet in the air, these strange rocks became stepping stones, flying away as light as the wind.
After a cup of tea, more than ten miles down the road, Lin Yi stopped, landed on a high boulder, and searched around.
There are quite a few rocks around, but not a single tree. Even if there are a few thorns, if you pick them and take them back, the trip will not be in vain.
His consciousness searched the inner half circle again, but found nothing. Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. Everything he saw was desolate, and the same was true for the corners. I don’t know how the inner disciples will fare, but they should go back!
As soon as Lin regained his consciousness, he wanted to turn around, but suddenly looked back——
