This was a escapist from death. Needless to say, Nangong Xiuqi's joy was overjoyed, but he still didn't dare to be careless because the burning sensation and heat flow in his body were still there, but the pain caused was not as strong as before.
Nangong Xiuqi practiced according to the secrets page after page, and his body also posed in corresponding positions according to the illustrations on each page, either sitting cross-legged, or facing one elbow, or even supporting the ground with both hands and standing upside down...
After practicing one posture, Nangong Xiuqi felt that the pain in his body was relieved. Until he finished practicing the exercises in the last picture in the secret book, the last faint pain disappeared. His body completely returned to its original state on the surface, but it was still clearly felt that it was completely different from the original inside.
The reason why Nangong Xiuqi felt so painful before was that countless heat flows were born in his body, which were like wild horses running around in his body, making him worse than death.
Now, after regulating breathing according to the method of qi and meridian movement contained in the secret book of Xuming Divine Art, countless heat flows seemed to be controlled to flow from all the tendons and veins to the Qihai Dantian in an orderly manner.
Before this, Nangong Xiuqi only knew the name of Qihai Dantian, but did not know its shape, and he had never felt it. Now he not only truly felt the true qi was filled there, just like a sail of a wind blowing, but also could flow the full dantian true qi into all parts of his body as he wished.
His grandma, what's going on?I've confused me.
Nangong Xiuqi, who had returned to normal, sat on the ground, recalled everything that had just happened, and muttered to himself.
In fact, Nangong Xiuqi didn't know that the blood-colored pill he found from the giant python's belly was not a snake gallbladder, but the inner elixir of the giant python, which was the true pill produced by its years of absorption of the essence of the sun and the moon.
Not every python has such an inner alchemy. Only by obtaining extremely special opportunities and extremely special physiques can it be formed in the body, and then after thousands of years of practice, this size of inner alchemy can be formed. This giant charm is so powerful that it can be overlord in water, which is closely related to the inner alchemy in its body.
If the giant python is not killed by Nangong Xiuqi, then in a few hundred years of practice, the inner elixir will turn into a smaller and purer divine pill. At that time, the giant python will be perfect in practice, and from then on, it will be transcend life and death and turn into a divine beast.
The inner elixir swallowed by Nangong Xiuqi has been practicing in the giant python for thousands of years, and has condensed the essence of the sun and the moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is the treasure that martial artists dream of, because eating it can not only allow the warrior to immediately increase the internal strength of hard practice for nearly a hundred years, but also never invade all poisons from now on.
However, the internal strength of the past hundred years of hard practice is not so easy to obtain. If a person with no internal strength base or even a weak internal strength eats this inner elixir, it will cause serious consequences, because the body cannot bear the sudden powerful internal strength, resulting in serious damage. At the least, the body will be damaged, both hands and feet will be ruined, and at the worst, the death will be done.
It is precisely for this reason that Nangong Xiuqi took the inner elixir and soon after he took the inner elixir, countless heat flows were produced in the muscles and veins in his body, which made him very painful. If he had not practiced the internal skills of the Xuming Divine Art by the devil, he would have died suddenly!
The internal strength mental method of Xuming Divine Art is completely different from other internal strength mental methods. Other practitioners of internal strength mental power masters clearly feel that their internal strength is filled little by little; and after practicing according to the internal strength mental method of Xuming Divine Art, not only do they not feel that their internal strength is increasing, but they will create a sense of internal strength in their body, which requires more internal strength to supplement.
Of course, with continuous practice, the internal strength is indeed increasing, but the practitioner himself cannot feel it. On the contrary, he will feel more and more empty, just like eating not only isn't full, but he will become more and more hungry. It is not until the last level of the internal skills of the Xuming Divine Art is completed. This is also the reason why this skill is called Xuming Divine Art.
Faced with the sudden increase in internal strength, Nangong Xiuqi happened to open the secret book of Xuming Divine Art and learned this internal strength mental method. Not only did he successfully transform his internal strength into his existing ones for nearly a hundred years, but he also used the sudden increase in internal strength to practice the internal strength of Xuming Divine Art that ordinary people would need nearly ten years to practice in just a few hours.
Nangong Xiuqi knew nothing about all this, but he just thought that he was poisoned by eating snake gallbladder, and he detoxified the poison through the methods recorded in the secret book. He didn't know that he had already become a martial arts master. Now his strong internal strength is enough to make him a top martial arts master, which is not inferior to his father. Of course, this only refers to internal strength. Nangong Xiuqi is still blank for other moves, techniques, etc.
After thinking for a long time, Nangong Xiuqi couldn't think of any reason, so he simply shook his head, looked at the secret book of Xuming Divine Art in his hand and said to himself: I didn't expect that there is a method to detoxify in this book. Why didn't the old man tell me before?
At this time, a faint light appeared in the distant eastern sky. It seemed that it would be dawn in less than an hour. Nangong Xiuqi put on his clothes, found a corner that was slightly sheltered from the wind, and prepared to take a nap.
Now Nangong Xiuqi is powerful inside and is not afraid of the cold wind and dew at all. Therefore, he is not as persistent as before, looking for a cave to rest. He lies in this slightly sheltered corner and soon falls asleep...
I don’t know how long it took, Nangong Xiuqi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a chilly and wet feeling on his face, not like dew or night wind, and there was also XiūXiū’s panting sound.
Nangong Xiuqi felt something was wrong, so he lazily opened a thin slit of his eyes. In the darkness, he saw a huge shadow squatting five or six feet away in front of him.
This shock was extraordinary. Nangong Xiuqi was so scared that his sleepiness disappeared. He opened his eyes wider and observed it carefully before he realized that this was a wolf.
The wolf is twice as big as an average wolf. It has white hair all over its body, two long ears are erected towards the sky, and its scarlet tongue, which is more than one foot long, extends outward, and crystal saliva flows out, and the hot breath that is breathing out all sprays on his face.
After seeing it clearly, Nangong Xiuqi couldn't help but take a breath. When he was in Jing'an City, it was common to lead a group of servants to the mountain to hunt, so he knew all kinds of wild animals in the mountain, and was even more familiar with animals like wolves.
Seriously speaking, wolves are more terrifying than animals that are much larger than their size, because wolves are flocking animals, while tigers and leopards generally live alone. Therefore, if you encounter wolves, it is impossible to have only one, but a group, at least dozens, and at most hundreds or thousands. Then many wolves attack when they attack, which is definitely a thousand times more terrifying than tigers and leopards.
In addition, what made Nangong Xiuqi feel even more chilled was that the wolf in front of him was huge, with white hair all over his body, and looked different from other wolves. It was obvious that this was a wolf king. According to his experience, a wolf king usually leads hundreds of wolves. In this way, hundreds of wolves are already eyeing him, just waiting for the wolf king in front of him to call his life.
Nangong Xiuqi suppressed the chill in his heart. When he was about to silently recite the formula and summon the Blood Spirit, he heard the wolf king suddenly let out a shrill long howl. The howl resounded through the valley and penetrated his eardrums, causing Nangong Xiuqi to shivered all over. The silent formula ended abruptly. At the same time, the wolf king jumped and rushed towards him with his fangs.
Wow!Help…
Nangong Xiuqi avoided as if a donkey rolled away, and shouted.
In fact, Nangong Xiuqi also knew that no one would come to save him in this empty mountainous country. He shouted for help was completely an instinctive reaction. After avoiding the first bite of the wolf king, before he could take a breath, the wind came again, and it was obvious that the wolf king rushed over again.
Nangong Xiuqi was shocked. He picked up a stone in a hurry and threw it hard in the direction of the wind. Then he didn't even dare to turn his head back and ran forward desperately, hoping to keep a distance between the wolf king so that he could give himself some time to cast spells.
However, what Nangong Xiuqi did not expect was that after throwing the stone out, it made a sharp roar that cut through the air. Then he heard the wolf king's tragic howl, and then there was no movement.
No, no, this... such a cruel big guy would have been killed by me with a stone?Nangong Xiuqi said in his heart.
Although he thought so, he slowed down his running pace, turned around tremblingly while running, and was surprised to find that he had guessed correctly. He saw the wolf king lying in a pool of blood, his body twitching from time to time. There was a hole as big as a fist on its neck, and blood flowed out from here.
Seeing this, Nangong Xiuqi stopped running wildly. He looked at the wolf king who was still struggling in disbelief, then looked at his hand again, and said incredibly: The strange things tonight are really one after another. When did my hand have such a great force?
While he was stunned, a moment of whine!Wow!
The roar suddenly sounded, the sound was dull and long, as if it was coming from the ground, and it rang continuously, and soon spread to the entire valley and then resounded throughout the sky.
At this time, the rising sun in the east is still coming out, and the vast mountains and fields are still in the dark. With the roars in the valley one after another, countless phosphate fires float from the dark night and gather more and more, and in a moment they gathered into a sea of phosphate fires.
Nangong Xiuqi was stunned. At first he thought it was a ghost fire. It was not until he smelled the strange fishy smell coming from the wind and heard the boundless sound of XiūXiū panting that he suddenly realized that the mountains and fields were full of hungry wolves.
My mom Ah, why...why are there so many?The Southern Officials were shocked and speechless.
Suddenly, a strong fishy storm blew, and then black shadows flashed and rushed towards Nangong Xiuqi.
In the dark night, their bodies merged with the darkness, with only the dark green eyes and fangs that were like ghost fire, shining with a devouring light.
With the experience of killing the wolf king in one fell swoop, Nangong Xiuqi did not panic much this time. He planned to do it again as he did, so he picked up a few stones and used their strength to his arm. Only then did he realize that the true energy in his body flowed freely, and an internal force poured into his right arm from his dantian. Then he raised his hand and several stones shot out with a sharp whistling sound.
Although his accurate head was quite poor, there were too many wolves rushing over, so most of the stones shot into the wolf. Anyone who was shot was basically killed immediately. One of the stones was clearly seen. Nangong Xiuqi saw it very clearly and passed through the head of one wolf, but the remaining momentum was still unabated. He penetrated the body of one wolf behind, and then shot to the ground, but it bounced back and injured the right eye of the other wolf.
Seeing his own strength with his own eyes, Nangong Xiuqi could hardly believe his eyes. However, although his attack was extremely sharp, there were too many wolves. As soon as these heads fell down, the ones behind him immediately followed, looking completely frightened and fearless.
The wolves attacked too fast, and Nangong Xiuqi had no time to bend over to pick up stones. However, at this time, he also realized that the true qi in the dantian was extremely abundant. Moreover, as the wolves rushed towards him, the body naturally reacted. The true qi quickly filled his body from the dantian, causing him to shout involuntarily, and then stretched out his hands, and a force surged out from his palm like a tsunami.
In an instant, the more than ten wolf who rushed in front did not snort and immediately fell to the ground and died.
From the outside, the more than ten wolfs had no wounds on their bodies. They fell to the ground as if they were asleep. However, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the bodies of these fell wolves quickly shrank. It turned out that the bones of these wolves had been shattered by Nangong Xiuqi's palm power, like powder, but they remained the same, but a gust of wind blew the wolf into a pile of boneless flesh.
At the same time, the powerful palm power remains unabated, causing nearly a hundred wolves behind to die or be injured, and the miserable wolf howlings filled the valley.
One move to kill the wolf king, and another move to kill and injure hundreds of wolves. These two moves shocked the extremely cruel and fearless wolf pack, thus stopping the continuous advance of the wolf pack, but the wolf pack did not retreat and confronted Nangong Xiuqi.
At this time, Nangong Xiuqi was filled with surprise. He raised his palm and looked left and right, with disbelief on his face, and murmured: Tian Ah... This is indeed an internal power, but how could I suddenly have such strong internal power?Difficult... Could it be...
Nangong Xiuqi vaguely knew what was going on, so he felt even more at ease when he was surprised. Although there were still nearly a thousand hungry wolves in front of him, the current situation was very beneficial to him, because the wolves had stopped attacking and were just confronting him, which gave him plenty of time to summon the Red Tiger.
Nangong Xiuqi was about to start exercising his power, and at this time, a ray of sunlight shot out from the horizon in the east, shining on his eyes, making him, who had been in the dark, unable to adapt very much, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Thousands of hungry wolves seemed even more uncomfortable. The wolves that had been confronting Nangong Xiuqi made a sound, and then began to retreat. Not long after, thousands of hungry wolves retreated clean like a tide, leaving only nearly a hundred wolf corpses.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Xiuqi was shocked at first, but soon understood the reason.
Wolves are animals that hide in the daytime and appear at night. The dark time before dawn is their most active time, and when the sun comes out, they will immediately return to their nests. This is their living habits, and this has always been the case.
At this time, in the east, only half of the sun was hidden under the horizon, and the rest were exposed. The golden red light dyed the mountains and forests, and the earth was covered by warm sunlight.
Nangong Xiuqi breathed a sigh of relief in his final womb and his body relaxed, but the true energy in his body was still flowing, in a state of attacking at any time. Obviously, he could not be able to reach the level of receiving and receiving the power he had in the past hundred years.
There was no choice but to sit cross-legged, put your hands on your chest, use the internal skills of the Xuming Divine Art to regulate your breathing, and soon the true energy that flowed continuously in your body returned to your dantian.
But at this moment, Nangong Xiuqi suddenly heard a slight rustling sound. If it were before, he would definitely not have such a sensitive hearing, but now he has had nearly a hundred years of internal strength and his external perception ability has been greatly enhanced. It can be said that within hundreds of steps of his radius, even the sound of a bee flapping its wings could not escape his ears, and his perception of abnormal fluctuations in the air was almost comparable to that of a master of Qi magic.
This rustling sound was definitely not made by insects and birds. It seemed like someone tiptoed to approach this side. Nangong Xiu was shocked, his eyes opened immediately, he looked ahead alertly, and shouted in a deep voice: Who?Who is there?
Yes, it's me...
Accompanied by the trembling sound, two human heads emerged from the grass.
The two men who walked out were about thirty years old, wearing coarse linen clothes, covered with a lot of mud and weeds. One of them held a bent bow and a big knife on his back, while the other was holding a steel fork. It was obvious that these two people were hunters nearby.
Dare...Dare you ask this young master, these wolves... are they killed by the young master?One of them said carefully.
Nangong Xiuqi smiled proudly and said: That's right.
The two hunters looked at each other in surprise, then bowed down together, and said excitedly: Thank you, thank you, my son, for helping us to eliminate this great trouble in Changxing Village. You are the great benefactor of our Changxing Village...
this…
Before Nangong Xiuqi could speak, one of them said: Achang, hurry back to the village and report this good news, and then bring people over to welcome the benefactor back to the village, hurry up...
OK, OK, I'll go now.After saying that, the man turned around and hurried down the mountain.
Hello, this is...
This person stepped forward and said: My benefactor doesn't know anything, please let me tell you slowly...
After nearly an incense stick of time, Nangong Xiuqi roughly understood what was going on?
It turns out that the place I am now is called Qianfeng Mountain, which is 500 miles in radius. It can be said that the mountains are high and dense, with continuous ups and downs.
We rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, to eat the water, and to rely on the mountains like Qianfeng Mountain. At the same time, there is a river with abundant water all year round. Therefore, dozens of villages of all sizes are distributed at the foot of Ganfeng Mountain. All the people in the village make a living by farming. They go to the mountains to hunt in their spare time and live a leisurely and comfortable life.
But since three years ago, these days have been broken because a pack of wolves came from the prairie on the other side of the mountain.
At first, the villagers didn't care about this group of wolves from the grassland. After all, there were many wolves in this mountain. Although they often harassed the villagers at the foot of the mountain, stole chickens and ate pigs, and occasionally hurt people, they did not pose any major threat.
However, since these grassland wolves came, they had used some methods to conquer all the wolves in the mountains and then took them under their command. From then on, the wolves entered the village no longer only had more than ten, but nearly a thousand wolves went down the mountain and entered the village. This was an almost devastating disaster for the village, because no one could resist the wolves all over the mountains.
The pastoral scenery of the past gradually disappeared, and the villagers died and fled. In the past few years, dozens of villages have disappeared, and only the largest village among them is still barely held on the verge of being swallowed by the wolf pack at any time.
In order to deal with these extremely vicious wolves, the villagers could say they had tried their best. They asked the government to send troops to wipe out the wolf. However, the group of wolves came and went without a trace, hiding in the vast mountains. How to eliminate them?
Not to mention that there is an endless grassland on the other side of the mountain. If the wolf retreats there, it will be even more distant and cannot be eliminated.
Changxing Village is the largest village, with nearly 10,000 villagers. After fighting against wolves in recent years, there have been heavy casualties and injuries. The population is less than 5,000, and most of them are old, young, women and children. There are only five or six hundred men left in the middle age. If this continues, Changxing Village has only two roads, one is migration, and the other is swallowed by wolves.
However, how easy is migration?
Not to mention that their ancestors have lived here for generations and have laid a deep foundation. If they are reluctant to leave, where can they go even if they leave?
Besides, it was not a peaceful and prosperous era outside, and he was also in chaos and was sentenced to death. So the village guards offered a reward, and some people could destroy the wolf pack or prevent the wolf pack from invading the village. They were willing to reward a thousand taels of gold.
There will naturally be brave men under heavy rewards, but there are many people who come, including martial arts masters and magical strongmen, but none of them can completely eliminate the wolf disaster, but there is no one who can completely eliminate the wolf disaster. However, there is nothing left. According to a person familiar with the nature of the wolf, there is a wolf king among this group of wolves, which is the evil wolf with white hair and a body that is several times larger than ordinary wolf. Only by removing this white hair wolf king, these thousands of wolves will be divided into pieces and the wolf disaster can be eliminated.
But the White-Haired Wolf King is extremely cunning, as if he knows that people are starting to target it, so he rarely shows up. Even if he leads the wolves down the mountain, he hides at the end of the wolves. It is difficult to find out, let alone kill them.
So that's what happened...
Nangong Xiuqi said intently: Haha, I, Nangong Xiuqi, accidentally did a great thing for the villagers here. Hehe, there are still a thousand taels of gold to take, which is really good!But the most important thing in front of you is to find a comfortable place to have a good sleep.
Just as he was thinking, there was a burst of noise coming from the hillside, and the hunter said happily when he heard this: Benefactor, our villagers are here.After saying that, he turned around and waved to the bottom of the mountain and shouted: Here, my benefactor is here...
After a while, a large group of men, women, young and old came up from the bottom of the mountain. They looked at the wolf corpses all over the ground in surprise and excitement, and finally gathered in front of the White-haired Wolf King's corpse to watch, and from time to time they made stuttering amazement and angry curses.
After a while, an old man stood up tremblingly and bowed to Nangong Xiu and said: My benefactor will eliminate this major problem for our Changxing Village. Please give me a bow!
The others also bowed one after another. Nangong Xiuqi accepted it calmly, and said with a pride: A small matter is a matter of raising one's hands.
Come, welcome your husband back to the village!The old man waved.
Two strong men walked up with a bamboo sedan chair and asked Nangong Xiuqi to get on the sedan chair. Naturally, he was not polite and sat on it. The old man also got on another sedan chair, while the rest carried the wolf corpse and surrounded them down the mountain in a mighty manner.
After passing through the narrow and winding dense forest path and climbing over several ridges, the group returned to Changxing Village. Through the chat along the way, Nangong Xiuqi learned that the old man was the village guard of Changxing Village and the patriarch of the village. He was in charge of the village. At the same time, he also learned that this place no longer belongs to Huatang, but has reached the border of Xilusmeng Kingdom.
The villagers of Changxing Village had all rushed to the entrance of the village to greet them. They cheered and praised on both sides of the corridor, as if they were welcoming the soldiers who returned from triumphantly, which really made Nangong Xiuqi proud.
After entering the village, I walked for a while, and stopped in front of a manor. The village guard got off the sedan chair and said: This is my residence. I’ll be so shabby and simple. Please forgive me, please!
Nangong Xiuqi looked up and down and laughed: This place is good...
Wherever.
When Murata Masato waved his hand modestly but couldn't hide his smug smile, Nangong Xiuqi said again: The conditions are much better than when I lived in the mountain last night, haha...
this…
Village Bao suddenly looked embarrassed and speechless, so he had to laugh and said dryly: Please, please...
Stepping into the gate of the manor, there is a spacious and slightly ancient courtyard. There are no trees or grass in the courtyard, and the underground is paved with bluestone slabs, with no soil exposed at all.
The whole courtyard looks a bit like a martial arts field, because there are two rows of weapon stands on both sides of the yard, including guns, knives, swords, spears, axes, halberds, etc., and there are also many stone piers of varying sizes.
Seeing that Nangong Xiuqi was confused, the village guard explained: Haha, I don’t know anything. Changxing Village has always been a tough folk custom and advocates martial arts. Basically, every family has a martial arts practice venue, but I am a little bigger and there are more guys to take advantage of.After saying that, he paused and sighed: If it weren't for this folk custom, everyone in the village would have a little fist. I'm afraid Changxing Village would have been destroyed by wolves, just like other villages.
So that's it.
Nangong Xiuqi nodded and said: Now that the wolf crisis has been eliminated, you don’t have to be too sad.
The village guarantee nodded repeatedly and said: Yes, I rely on the achievements of the young master!
To the north of the courtyard is a large house with three open rooms. Step up to three steps and enter the main hall. According to the ceremony of the guest and the host, the village guards were making a fuss. During this period, the servants handed tea and water to deliver water. Nangong Xiuqi was really impatient, and naturally felt a little impatient on his face.
The village guards were talking and looking at each other. After a moment of pondering, they realized it. They quickly stood up and said: I am confused. The young master must have not had a good rest last night. At this time, they must have been in a difficult situation. I still endure my nagging. I am really confused!After saying that, he said loudly: Come, please come and ask the young master to go in and rest!
This old guy is quite sensible.Nangong Xiuqi thought to himself.
After passing through the main hall, Nangong Xiuqi came to the backyard with a servant. The backyard is quite large, with several small courtyards distributed. Low fence walls separate the small courtyards, and green bamboos, bananas, etc. are also planted in the middle, making each small courtyard hidden in a piece of green, with a unique quiet beauty!
After walking about a hundred steps along a winding path, a delicate voice suddenly sounded not far away: Oh, is this the great hero who destroyed the White-Haired Wolf King in one fell swoop, and is our great benefactor in Changxing Village?
Nangong Xiuqi was slightly stunned. He looked around for a while, but he didn't see him. When he was secretly puzzled, a graceful figure flashed out from behind a lush banana tree with a giggle.
Nangong Xiuqi practiced according to the secrets page after page, and his body also posed in corresponding positions according to the illustrations on each page, either sitting cross-legged, or facing one elbow, or even supporting the ground with both hands and standing upside down...
After practicing one posture, Nangong Xiuqi felt that the pain in his body was relieved. Until he finished practicing the exercises in the last picture in the secret book, the last faint pain disappeared. His body completely returned to its original state on the surface, but it was still clearly felt that it was completely different from the original inside.
The reason why Nangong Xiuqi felt so painful before was that countless heat flows were born in his body, which were like wild horses running around in his body, making him worse than death.
Now, after regulating breathing according to the method of qi and meridian movement contained in the secret book of Xuming Divine Art, countless heat flows seemed to be controlled to flow from all the tendons and veins to the Qihai Dantian in an orderly manner.
Before this, Nangong Xiuqi only knew the name of Qihai Dantian, but did not know its shape, and he had never felt it. Now he not only truly felt the true qi was filled there, just like a sail of a wind blowing, but also could flow the full dantian true qi into all parts of his body as he wished.
His grandma, what's going on?I've confused me.
Nangong Xiuqi, who had returned to normal, sat on the ground, recalled everything that had just happened, and muttered to himself.
In fact, Nangong Xiuqi didn't know that the blood-colored pill he found from the giant python's belly was not a snake gallbladder, but the inner elixir of the giant python, which was the true pill produced by its years of absorption of the essence of the sun and the moon.
Not every python has such an inner alchemy. Only by obtaining extremely special opportunities and extremely special physiques can it be formed in the body, and then after thousands of years of practice, this size of inner alchemy can be formed. This giant charm is so powerful that it can be overlord in water, which is closely related to the inner alchemy in its body.
If the giant python is not killed by Nangong Xiuqi, then in a few hundred years of practice, the inner elixir will turn into a smaller and purer divine pill. At that time, the giant python will be perfect in practice, and from then on, it will be transcend life and death and turn into a divine beast.
The inner elixir swallowed by Nangong Xiuqi has been practicing in the giant python for thousands of years, and has condensed the essence of the sun and the moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is the treasure that martial artists dream of, because eating it can not only allow the warrior to immediately increase the internal strength of hard practice for nearly a hundred years, but also never invade all poisons from now on.
However, the internal strength of the past hundred years of hard practice is not so easy to obtain. If a person with no internal strength base or even a weak internal strength eats this inner elixir, it will cause serious consequences, because the body cannot bear the sudden powerful internal strength, resulting in serious damage. At the least, the body will be damaged, both hands and feet will be ruined, and at the worst, the death will be done.
It is precisely for this reason that Nangong Xiuqi took the inner elixir and soon after he took the inner elixir, countless heat flows were produced in the muscles and veins in his body, which made him very painful. If he had not practiced the internal skills of the Xuming Divine Art by the devil, he would have died suddenly!
The internal strength mental method of Xuming Divine Art is completely different from other internal strength mental methods. Other practitioners of internal strength mental power masters clearly feel that their internal strength is filled little by little; and after practicing according to the internal strength mental method of Xuming Divine Art, not only do they not feel that their internal strength is increasing, but they will create a sense of internal strength in their body, which requires more internal strength to supplement.
Of course, with continuous practice, the internal strength is indeed increasing, but the practitioner himself cannot feel it. On the contrary, he will feel more and more empty, just like eating not only isn't full, but he will become more and more hungry. It is not until the last level of the internal skills of the Xuming Divine Art is completed. This is also the reason why this skill is called Xuming Divine Art.
Faced with the sudden increase in internal strength, Nangong Xiuqi happened to open the secret book of Xuming Divine Art and learned this internal strength mental method. Not only did he successfully transform his internal strength into his existing ones for nearly a hundred years, but he also used the sudden increase in internal strength to practice the internal strength of Xuming Divine Art that ordinary people would need nearly ten years to practice in just a few hours.
Nangong Xiuqi knew nothing about all this, but he just thought that he was poisoned by eating snake gallbladder, and he detoxified the poison through the methods recorded in the secret book. He didn't know that he had already become a martial arts master. Now his strong internal strength is enough to make him a top martial arts master, which is not inferior to his father. Of course, this only refers to internal strength. Nangong Xiuqi is still blank for other moves, techniques, etc.
After thinking for a long time, Nangong Xiuqi couldn't think of any reason, so he simply shook his head, looked at the secret book of Xuming Divine Art in his hand and said to himself: I didn't expect that there is a method to detoxify in this book. Why didn't the old man tell me before?
At this time, a faint light appeared in the distant eastern sky. It seemed that it would be dawn in less than an hour. Nangong Xiuqi put on his clothes, found a corner that was slightly sheltered from the wind, and prepared to take a nap.
Now Nangong Xiuqi is powerful inside and is not afraid of the cold wind and dew at all. Therefore, he is not as persistent as before, looking for a cave to rest. He lies in this slightly sheltered corner and soon falls asleep...
I don’t know how long it took, Nangong Xiuqi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a chilly and wet feeling on his face, not like dew or night wind, and there was also XiūXiū’s panting sound.
Nangong Xiuqi felt something was wrong, so he lazily opened a thin slit of his eyes. In the darkness, he saw a huge shadow squatting five or six feet away in front of him.
This shock was extraordinary. Nangong Xiuqi was so scared that his sleepiness disappeared. He opened his eyes wider and observed it carefully before he realized that this was a wolf.
The wolf is twice as big as an average wolf. It has white hair all over its body, two long ears are erected towards the sky, and its scarlet tongue, which is more than one foot long, extends outward, and crystal saliva flows out, and the hot breath that is breathing out all sprays on his face.
After seeing it clearly, Nangong Xiuqi couldn't help but take a breath. When he was in Jing'an City, it was common to lead a group of servants to the mountain to hunt, so he knew all kinds of wild animals in the mountain, and was even more familiar with animals like wolves.
Seriously speaking, wolves are more terrifying than animals that are much larger than their size, because wolves are flocking animals, while tigers and leopards generally live alone. Therefore, if you encounter wolves, it is impossible to have only one, but a group, at least dozens, and at most hundreds or thousands. Then many wolves attack when they attack, which is definitely a thousand times more terrifying than tigers and leopards.
In addition, what made Nangong Xiuqi feel even more chilled was that the wolf in front of him was huge, with white hair all over his body, and looked different from other wolves. It was obvious that this was a wolf king. According to his experience, a wolf king usually leads hundreds of wolves. In this way, hundreds of wolves are already eyeing him, just waiting for the wolf king in front of him to call his life.
Nangong Xiuqi suppressed the chill in his heart. When he was about to silently recite the formula and summon the Blood Spirit, he heard the wolf king suddenly let out a shrill long howl. The howl resounded through the valley and penetrated his eardrums, causing Nangong Xiuqi to shivered all over. The silent formula ended abruptly. At the same time, the wolf king jumped and rushed towards him with his fangs.
Wow!Help…
Nangong Xiuqi avoided as if a donkey rolled away, and shouted.
In fact, Nangong Xiuqi also knew that no one would come to save him in this empty mountainous country. He shouted for help was completely an instinctive reaction. After avoiding the first bite of the wolf king, before he could take a breath, the wind came again, and it was obvious that the wolf king rushed over again.
Nangong Xiuqi was shocked. He picked up a stone in a hurry and threw it hard in the direction of the wind. Then he didn't even dare to turn his head back and ran forward desperately, hoping to keep a distance between the wolf king so that he could give himself some time to cast spells.
However, what Nangong Xiuqi did not expect was that after throwing the stone out, it made a sharp roar that cut through the air. Then he heard the wolf king's tragic howl, and then there was no movement.
No, no, this... such a cruel big guy would have been killed by me with a stone?Nangong Xiuqi said in his heart.
Although he thought so, he slowed down his running pace, turned around tremblingly while running, and was surprised to find that he had guessed correctly. He saw the wolf king lying in a pool of blood, his body twitching from time to time. There was a hole as big as a fist on its neck, and blood flowed out from here.
Seeing this, Nangong Xiuqi stopped running wildly. He looked at the wolf king who was still struggling in disbelief, then looked at his hand again, and said incredibly: The strange things tonight are really one after another. When did my hand have such a great force?
While he was stunned, a moment of whine!Wow!
The roar suddenly sounded, the sound was dull and long, as if it was coming from the ground, and it rang continuously, and soon spread to the entire valley and then resounded throughout the sky.
At this time, the rising sun in the east is still coming out, and the vast mountains and fields are still in the dark. With the roars in the valley one after another, countless phosphate fires float from the dark night and gather more and more, and in a moment they gathered into a sea of phosphate fires.
Nangong Xiuqi was stunned. At first he thought it was a ghost fire. It was not until he smelled the strange fishy smell coming from the wind and heard the boundless sound of XiūXiū panting that he suddenly realized that the mountains and fields were full of hungry wolves.
My mom Ah, why...why are there so many?The Southern Officials were shocked and speechless.
Suddenly, a strong fishy storm blew, and then black shadows flashed and rushed towards Nangong Xiuqi.
In the dark night, their bodies merged with the darkness, with only the dark green eyes and fangs that were like ghost fire, shining with a devouring light.
With the experience of killing the wolf king in one fell swoop, Nangong Xiuqi did not panic much this time. He planned to do it again as he did, so he picked up a few stones and used their strength to his arm. Only then did he realize that the true energy in his body flowed freely, and an internal force poured into his right arm from his dantian. Then he raised his hand and several stones shot out with a sharp whistling sound.
Although his accurate head was quite poor, there were too many wolves rushing over, so most of the stones shot into the wolf. Anyone who was shot was basically killed immediately. One of the stones was clearly seen. Nangong Xiuqi saw it very clearly and passed through the head of one wolf, but the remaining momentum was still unabated. He penetrated the body of one wolf behind, and then shot to the ground, but it bounced back and injured the right eye of the other wolf.
Seeing his own strength with his own eyes, Nangong Xiuqi could hardly believe his eyes. However, although his attack was extremely sharp, there were too many wolves. As soon as these heads fell down, the ones behind him immediately followed, looking completely frightened and fearless.
The wolves attacked too fast, and Nangong Xiuqi had no time to bend over to pick up stones. However, at this time, he also realized that the true qi in the dantian was extremely abundant. Moreover, as the wolves rushed towards him, the body naturally reacted. The true qi quickly filled his body from the dantian, causing him to shout involuntarily, and then stretched out his hands, and a force surged out from his palm like a tsunami.
In an instant, the more than ten wolf who rushed in front did not snort and immediately fell to the ground and died.
From the outside, the more than ten wolfs had no wounds on their bodies. They fell to the ground as if they were asleep. However, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the bodies of these fell wolves quickly shrank. It turned out that the bones of these wolves had been shattered by Nangong Xiuqi's palm power, like powder, but they remained the same, but a gust of wind blew the wolf into a pile of boneless flesh.
At the same time, the powerful palm power remains unabated, causing nearly a hundred wolves behind to die or be injured, and the miserable wolf howlings filled the valley.
One move to kill the wolf king, and another move to kill and injure hundreds of wolves. These two moves shocked the extremely cruel and fearless wolf pack, thus stopping the continuous advance of the wolf pack, but the wolf pack did not retreat and confronted Nangong Xiuqi.
At this time, Nangong Xiuqi was filled with surprise. He raised his palm and looked left and right, with disbelief on his face, and murmured: Tian Ah... This is indeed an internal power, but how could I suddenly have such strong internal power?Difficult... Could it be...
Nangong Xiuqi vaguely knew what was going on, so he felt even more at ease when he was surprised. Although there were still nearly a thousand hungry wolves in front of him, the current situation was very beneficial to him, because the wolves had stopped attacking and were just confronting him, which gave him plenty of time to summon the Red Tiger.
Nangong Xiuqi was about to start exercising his power, and at this time, a ray of sunlight shot out from the horizon in the east, shining on his eyes, making him, who had been in the dark, unable to adapt very much, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Thousands of hungry wolves seemed even more uncomfortable. The wolves that had been confronting Nangong Xiuqi made a sound, and then began to retreat. Not long after, thousands of hungry wolves retreated clean like a tide, leaving only nearly a hundred wolf corpses.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Xiuqi was shocked at first, but soon understood the reason.
Wolves are animals that hide in the daytime and appear at night. The dark time before dawn is their most active time, and when the sun comes out, they will immediately return to their nests. This is their living habits, and this has always been the case.
At this time, in the east, only half of the sun was hidden under the horizon, and the rest were exposed. The golden red light dyed the mountains and forests, and the earth was covered by warm sunlight.
Nangong Xiuqi breathed a sigh of relief in his final womb and his body relaxed, but the true energy in his body was still flowing, in a state of attacking at any time. Obviously, he could not be able to reach the level of receiving and receiving the power he had in the past hundred years.
There was no choice but to sit cross-legged, put your hands on your chest, use the internal skills of the Xuming Divine Art to regulate your breathing, and soon the true energy that flowed continuously in your body returned to your dantian.
But at this moment, Nangong Xiuqi suddenly heard a slight rustling sound. If it were before, he would definitely not have such a sensitive hearing, but now he has had nearly a hundred years of internal strength and his external perception ability has been greatly enhanced. It can be said that within hundreds of steps of his radius, even the sound of a bee flapping its wings could not escape his ears, and his perception of abnormal fluctuations in the air was almost comparable to that of a master of Qi magic.
This rustling sound was definitely not made by insects and birds. It seemed like someone tiptoed to approach this side. Nangong Xiu was shocked, his eyes opened immediately, he looked ahead alertly, and shouted in a deep voice: Who?Who is there?
Yes, it's me...
Accompanied by the trembling sound, two human heads emerged from the grass.
The two men who walked out were about thirty years old, wearing coarse linen clothes, covered with a lot of mud and weeds. One of them held a bent bow and a big knife on his back, while the other was holding a steel fork. It was obvious that these two people were hunters nearby.
Dare...Dare you ask this young master, these wolves... are they killed by the young master?One of them said carefully.
Nangong Xiuqi smiled proudly and said: That's right.
The two hunters looked at each other in surprise, then bowed down together, and said excitedly: Thank you, thank you, my son, for helping us to eliminate this great trouble in Changxing Village. You are the great benefactor of our Changxing Village...
this…
Before Nangong Xiuqi could speak, one of them said: Achang, hurry back to the village and report this good news, and then bring people over to welcome the benefactor back to the village, hurry up...
OK, OK, I'll go now.After saying that, the man turned around and hurried down the mountain.
Hello, this is...
This person stepped forward and said: My benefactor doesn't know anything, please let me tell you slowly...
After nearly an incense stick of time, Nangong Xiuqi roughly understood what was going on?
It turns out that the place I am now is called Qianfeng Mountain, which is 500 miles in radius. It can be said that the mountains are high and dense, with continuous ups and downs.
We rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, to eat the water, and to rely on the mountains like Qianfeng Mountain. At the same time, there is a river with abundant water all year round. Therefore, dozens of villages of all sizes are distributed at the foot of Ganfeng Mountain. All the people in the village make a living by farming. They go to the mountains to hunt in their spare time and live a leisurely and comfortable life.
But since three years ago, these days have been broken because a pack of wolves came from the prairie on the other side of the mountain.
At first, the villagers didn't care about this group of wolves from the grassland. After all, there were many wolves in this mountain. Although they often harassed the villagers at the foot of the mountain, stole chickens and ate pigs, and occasionally hurt people, they did not pose any major threat.
However, since these grassland wolves came, they had used some methods to conquer all the wolves in the mountains and then took them under their command. From then on, the wolves entered the village no longer only had more than ten, but nearly a thousand wolves went down the mountain and entered the village. This was an almost devastating disaster for the village, because no one could resist the wolves all over the mountains.
The pastoral scenery of the past gradually disappeared, and the villagers died and fled. In the past few years, dozens of villages have disappeared, and only the largest village among them is still barely held on the verge of being swallowed by the wolf pack at any time.
In order to deal with these extremely vicious wolves, the villagers could say they had tried their best. They asked the government to send troops to wipe out the wolf. However, the group of wolves came and went without a trace, hiding in the vast mountains. How to eliminate them?
Not to mention that there is an endless grassland on the other side of the mountain. If the wolf retreats there, it will be even more distant and cannot be eliminated.
Changxing Village is the largest village, with nearly 10,000 villagers. After fighting against wolves in recent years, there have been heavy casualties and injuries. The population is less than 5,000, and most of them are old, young, women and children. There are only five or six hundred men left in the middle age. If this continues, Changxing Village has only two roads, one is migration, and the other is swallowed by wolves.
However, how easy is migration?
Not to mention that their ancestors have lived here for generations and have laid a deep foundation. If they are reluctant to leave, where can they go even if they leave?
Besides, it was not a peaceful and prosperous era outside, and he was also in chaos and was sentenced to death. So the village guards offered a reward, and some people could destroy the wolf pack or prevent the wolf pack from invading the village. They were willing to reward a thousand taels of gold.
There will naturally be brave men under heavy rewards, but there are many people who come, including martial arts masters and magical strongmen, but none of them can completely eliminate the wolf disaster, but there is no one who can completely eliminate the wolf disaster. However, there is nothing left. According to a person familiar with the nature of the wolf, there is a wolf king among this group of wolves, which is the evil wolf with white hair and a body that is several times larger than ordinary wolf. Only by removing this white hair wolf king, these thousands of wolves will be divided into pieces and the wolf disaster can be eliminated.
But the White-Haired Wolf King is extremely cunning, as if he knows that people are starting to target it, so he rarely shows up. Even if he leads the wolves down the mountain, he hides at the end of the wolves. It is difficult to find out, let alone kill them.
So that's what happened...
Nangong Xiuqi said intently: Haha, I, Nangong Xiuqi, accidentally did a great thing for the villagers here. Hehe, there are still a thousand taels of gold to take, which is really good!But the most important thing in front of you is to find a comfortable place to have a good sleep.
Just as he was thinking, there was a burst of noise coming from the hillside, and the hunter said happily when he heard this: Benefactor, our villagers are here.After saying that, he turned around and waved to the bottom of the mountain and shouted: Here, my benefactor is here...
After a while, a large group of men, women, young and old came up from the bottom of the mountain. They looked at the wolf corpses all over the ground in surprise and excitement, and finally gathered in front of the White-haired Wolf King's corpse to watch, and from time to time they made stuttering amazement and angry curses.
After a while, an old man stood up tremblingly and bowed to Nangong Xiu and said: My benefactor will eliminate this major problem for our Changxing Village. Please give me a bow!
The others also bowed one after another. Nangong Xiuqi accepted it calmly, and said with a pride: A small matter is a matter of raising one's hands.
Come, welcome your husband back to the village!The old man waved.
Two strong men walked up with a bamboo sedan chair and asked Nangong Xiuqi to get on the sedan chair. Naturally, he was not polite and sat on it. The old man also got on another sedan chair, while the rest carried the wolf corpse and surrounded them down the mountain in a mighty manner.
After passing through the narrow and winding dense forest path and climbing over several ridges, the group returned to Changxing Village. Through the chat along the way, Nangong Xiuqi learned that the old man was the village guard of Changxing Village and the patriarch of the village. He was in charge of the village. At the same time, he also learned that this place no longer belongs to Huatang, but has reached the border of Xilusmeng Kingdom.
The villagers of Changxing Village had all rushed to the entrance of the village to greet them. They cheered and praised on both sides of the corridor, as if they were welcoming the soldiers who returned from triumphantly, which really made Nangong Xiuqi proud.
After entering the village, I walked for a while, and stopped in front of a manor. The village guard got off the sedan chair and said: This is my residence. I’ll be so shabby and simple. Please forgive me, please!
Nangong Xiuqi looked up and down and laughed: This place is good...
Wherever.
When Murata Masato waved his hand modestly but couldn't hide his smug smile, Nangong Xiuqi said again: The conditions are much better than when I lived in the mountain last night, haha...
this…
Village Bao suddenly looked embarrassed and speechless, so he had to laugh and said dryly: Please, please...
Stepping into the gate of the manor, there is a spacious and slightly ancient courtyard. There are no trees or grass in the courtyard, and the underground is paved with bluestone slabs, with no soil exposed at all.
The whole courtyard looks a bit like a martial arts field, because there are two rows of weapon stands on both sides of the yard, including guns, knives, swords, spears, axes, halberds, etc., and there are also many stone piers of varying sizes.
Seeing that Nangong Xiuqi was confused, the village guard explained: Haha, I don’t know anything. Changxing Village has always been a tough folk custom and advocates martial arts. Basically, every family has a martial arts practice venue, but I am a little bigger and there are more guys to take advantage of.After saying that, he paused and sighed: If it weren't for this folk custom, everyone in the village would have a little fist. I'm afraid Changxing Village would have been destroyed by wolves, just like other villages.
So that's it.
Nangong Xiuqi nodded and said: Now that the wolf crisis has been eliminated, you don’t have to be too sad.
The village guarantee nodded repeatedly and said: Yes, I rely on the achievements of the young master!
To the north of the courtyard is a large house with three open rooms. Step up to three steps and enter the main hall. According to the ceremony of the guest and the host, the village guards were making a fuss. During this period, the servants handed tea and water to deliver water. Nangong Xiuqi was really impatient, and naturally felt a little impatient on his face.
The village guards were talking and looking at each other. After a moment of pondering, they realized it. They quickly stood up and said: I am confused. The young master must have not had a good rest last night. At this time, they must have been in a difficult situation. I still endure my nagging. I am really confused!After saying that, he said loudly: Come, please come and ask the young master to go in and rest!
This old guy is quite sensible.Nangong Xiuqi thought to himself.
After passing through the main hall, Nangong Xiuqi came to the backyard with a servant. The backyard is quite large, with several small courtyards distributed. Low fence walls separate the small courtyards, and green bamboos, bananas, etc. are also planted in the middle, making each small courtyard hidden in a piece of green, with a unique quiet beauty!
After walking about a hundred steps along a winding path, a delicate voice suddenly sounded not far away: Oh, is this the great hero who destroyed the White-Haired Wolf King in one fell swoop, and is our great benefactor in Changxing Village?
Nangong Xiuqi was slightly stunned. He looked around for a while, but he didn't see him. When he was secretly puzzled, a graceful figure flashed out from behind a lush banana tree with a giggle.
