Chapter 44: Distress in the Mountains
When Su Ziyi carried all the square tables home, Bian Qing and Su Yulang had just gotten up.
"Father——" It was still early, and the sun had just fully exposed his body, so Su Yulang, who was tired yesterday, was still drowsy when he saw Su Ziyi enter the house. He stood blankly by the well, holding his hands He held the face washcloth that Bian Qing stuffed into him and let the water drip on the shoe.
"You haven't woken up yet?" Su Ziyi smiled when she saw him like this.
"Where's your mother-in-law?" Su Ziyi put the table in the utility room and walked into the courtyard carrying the collected sacrifices. At this time, Su Yulang finally washed his face. With his head clear, he looked at the slightly moist shoe uppers and pursed his lips, "Emma is in the kitchen." As soon as he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived
. When Bian Qing opened the door this morning, he didn't see Su Ziyi. He thought that the other person had probably gone to the entrance of the village. Then he entered the kitchen and saw the warm porridge on the stove. He shook his head and decided to make more in the morning. After all, after being busy these past few days, the family didn't eat well, and when he finished his work, Su Ziyi just came back.
"You're back."
"Well, I just took a look. The meat is still relatively fresh and can be eaten." The temperature at night is relatively low, and before being served to the table, it is actually cooked in boiling water. , so the taste did not change: "Let's have these for lunch." After saying that, Su Ziyi didn't bother Bian Qing, and carried the things into the kitchen. Bian Qing asked Su Yulang to wash his face and come in to eat.
"By the way, are you talking about last night?" While eating, Su Ziyi suddenly remembered what Bian Qing was mysteriously refusing to say the night before, and asked immediately. "Huh?" Bian Qing didn't react at first and was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and rolled his eyes: "Yes, does it work for you?" "Yes, is it big?
" It worked! I have reached the sixth level of Qi refining now!" Speaking of this, Su Ziyi was full of emotion.
Bian Qing was stunned for a moment. Although he had some ideas yesterday, he did not think of going to this level. After all, Luoshan Village had poor resources. Under such an environment, Su Ziyi was able to go from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level in a few months. It was quite difficult to be promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining, but I didn't expect Su Ziyi to actually achieve it.
When he thought of this, he felt a little happy and a little sad in his heart, but there was no strange color on his face: "There are no cultivators in Luoshan Village, and cultivators from outside will not come in, so no one else has discovered Xie Shanyi until now." Secret." The corner of his mouth curled up: "Most of the villagers only felt better in spirit and strength after the ceremony, so they only thought it was a gift from the mountain god, and never thought it was the effect of spiritual energy." After he said this, Su Ziyi looked
at His eyes changed. Su Ziyi always knew that Bian Qing was quite smart, but he didn't expect that a person who couldn't practice could be so smart.
"Of course, it may also be because the amount of this spiritual energy is not very large." Bian Qing continued to eat, as if he had no desire to talk anymore. Su Ziyi nodded and agreed with his point of view: "Indeed, I was only one step away from the sixth level of Qi refining, but this spiritual energy is extremely pure, so it can be effective." Bian Qing
hummed , means I understand. Su Yulang, who had been listening to their conversation, didn't understand anything from beginning to end. He scratched his head with the hand holding the chopsticks. When he saw Eminem's expressionless face, he subconsciously swallowed the question in his mouth.
Su Ziyi, who had been thinking about the details of the breakthrough, naturally didn't notice it. Or perhaps, even if he did, he wouldn't ask more. After all, in his opinion, Bian Qing is an independent individual. He has his own ideas, so he cannot ask about everything, otherwise he will be too nosy.
It was his attitude that made Bian Qing grind his teeth as he watched him leave.
"Father, wait for me -" As soon as Su Ziyi went out, he was stopped by Su Yulang, the little tail behind him. When Su Ziyi heard his voice, he couldn't help but turned around helplessly. He didn't expect that after following him for so long, this child would choose to follow him to the mountains. After all, he couldn't play with the child in the mountains. How boring would it be? How boring.
But that's not to say that Su Ziyi was disgusted with Su Yulang's behavior. After all, the child just stood aside and played with himself. He never disturbed him. Instead, he was very considerate. When he wanted to drink water and eat, he would Get things delivered to you.
No matter how hard-hearted a person is, he will not dislike such a child.
What's more, Su Ziyi himself is not a hard-hearted person, so he stood there and watched Su Yulang anxiously jumping on his feet to take the small backpack carrying water and food from his mother's hand, and then jumped towards him. Bian ran out. "Slow down, don't fall." Looking at his appearance, Su Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little worried, but fortunately no accident happened.
As soon as the child ran to Su Ziyi, he immediately grabbed Su Ziyi's hand and held on tightly, and gave Su Ziyi a sweet smile: "Father, let's go." Su Ziyi responded softly, and then used His sleeves wiped the fine sweat on Su Yulang's forehead, and then he led him forward, leaving the children's laughter along the way.
Bian Qing, who was standing at the door, kept looking at their backs for a long time. It was not until the two of them disappeared that they turned around and returned to the room.
After Xie Shanyi passed by, Luoshan Village returned to its usual tranquility at the speed of the wind. Although the men could still rest at home for a day, they could no longer hold back when they thought that they would lose dozens of copper coins in income if they left late. As soon as they finished their work, they didn't care about the remaining things to clean up, and rushed towards the mine one by one.
Therefore, when Su Ziyi took Su Yulang towards the mountains, he didn't meet many people along the way. Even if he did, they were women or couples. However, because Su Ziyi didn't want to say hello, and Su Yulang was shy in front of outsiders, the two of them didn't speak to anyone along the way.
It's just that they don't speak, but they can't stop others. Although these people in the village were a little worried about Su Ziyi, it didn't stop them from secretly arranging the Su family. Anyway, they couldn't match the good of the Su family, so they might as well enjoy the pleasure in secret to make themselves feel comfortable.
"Look at how arrogant the Su family is."
"No, I couldn't tell that kid before. I just thought he was quiet. It turns out that just like his father, he also looks down on others." ...
like
this The words were circulated among the two women who had met the Su family father and son in the morning, but no matter what, these words would not reach the ears of the Su family in the end.
Su Ziyi would not pay attention to the gossip in the village. He followed the old path and led Su Yulang into the mountains. At this time, the mountains have begun to show signs of depression visible to the naked eye. Although the leaves have not all turned yellow, there are already small holes in the leaves above the head. The small animals in the forest are also quite active, eating various pine nuts and chestnuts. Food for the winter began to be carried among the trees.
"You stay here, we'll go home when I'm done." After a few days, the open space had been covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves blown by the wind, but Su Ziyi ignored it and settled Su Yulang After that, go back to the field and start your own practice.
Different from when he was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Su Ziyi could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in his body was much stronger at this time. He concentrated the spiritual energy on his limbs according to the previous spiritual energy movement route, and felt the influence of the sixth level of Qi Refining on him. changes caused. Finally, he concentrated his spiritual energy on his feet, and then the spiritual energy shook. In an instant, a wave of air centered on his feet lifted up all the leaves around him!
Su Yulang watched this scene with his mouth open. Even if the leaves hit his face, his eyes would not blink. But then, his face changed, and he looked panicked. He wanted to shout something, but in the end I tried my best, but my voice broke when I yelled: "Father!"
Su Ziyi had already noticed something strange before Su Yulang's voice came out. After all, the sixth level of Qi Refining made his senses much sharper, so before he heard Su Yulang's voice, he looked towards the place where the strange thing came from - - He saw a black spider with a shell covered with white bristles, as big as an adult's head, spraying silk from the trees and swooping towards him!
The moment he saw the other person clearly, Su Ziyi's pupils shrank uncontrollably - that was the second-level monster, the black spider!
Without thinking much, Su Ziyi immediately used his spiritual energy and jumped back with his whole body, just enough to avoid the opponent's body coming at him. You must know that the black spider can not only use its spider silk to jump flexibly in various terrains with debris, but its spider silk is extremely tough and contains a certain amount of toxins. Once the black spider uses the spider silk to trap it, , then it will be difficult for cultivators with low strength to escape from rebirth!
Therefore, you must not expose any flaws and be caught by the black spider.
After the attack missed, the black spider did not immediately step forward and attack again. Instead, it stood on the spot and made a "hissing" sound at Su Ziyi. However, Su Ziyi was not threatened by it. He did not turn his head away and said to Su Yulang loudly: "Yulang, step back and find a place to hide."
Su Yulang's legs were a little weak at this time. Although he had seen spiders, he had never seen such a big one. He had only seen the monsters his father brought home before. I thought my father was powerful, but I never thought that facing a monster would be such a terrifying thing. But Su Ziyi's voice gave him courage. He turned around and ran into the forest without taking anything, and found a big tree that covered his body tightly.
When the black spider saw another prey running away, it became angry. It was not very intelligent and immediately spewed out a white spider silk and tied it to the branch, and then prepared to shoot towards Su Yulang! And how could Su Ziyi, who had been paying attention to it, give it this chance? When the spider silk had just climbed up the branch, he broke the branch directly to the ground with a spiritual energy blade!
Su Ziyi's interference made Black Spider completely annoyed, and the "hissing" sound in his mouth became louder, and then regardless of what happened, another thread of spider silk was shot towards Su Ziyi. Su Ziyi had to dodge. While dodging, he still felt a little regretful in his heart. Why didn't he bring the sharp horns and toxins he took from Qingjiao last time? Otherwise, he would not be in such an embarrassing situation.
Black Spider has the strength of the seventh level of Qi refining, and Su Ziyi is at the sixth level of Qi refining. After dodging several times, Su Ziyi probably has some confidence in his heart. He believes that with his current skills, he can win!
This knowledge greatly increased Su Ziyi's confidence. He no longer just dodged, but began to use his agility caused by the spiritual energy blessing to fight back at the black spider. You know, all wild beasts are inherently afraid of beings like fire, and this fear is even worse for beings like black spiders!
So Su Ziyi directly used the fireball technique, shooting small fireballs at the black spider at tricky angles. Such a small fireball did not dare to be underestimated by the black spider at the seventh level of Qi Refining. It flexibly used its eight legs to retreat, causing Su Ziyi's attacks to miss one by one.
That does not work!
Su Ziyi could feel the consumption of spiritual energy in his body, but the other party's consumption was obviously less than his own. When his own spiritual energy was exhausted, he and Su Yulang would have no choice but to be at the mercy of the other party. He hardened his heart, moved his spiritual energy under his feet, and moved forward, not intending to give the other party a chance to back down. After all, there was a forest behind him. Once he entered the forest, Su Ziyi's opportunity to dominate would be narrowed again and again.
To the black spider, such behavior was tantamount to provocation. It stopped retreating and sprayed several more threads of spider silk towards Su Ziyi, who was coming quickly. With the distance between the two and Su Ziyi's speed, There was no way Su Ziyi could avoid these spider threads! But fortunately, Su Ziyi thought of this from the beginning. He covered his left hand with a thin layer of spiritual energy and took the initiative to catch the spider silk with the palm of his left hand!
In an instant, those spider silks seemed to have intelligence, binding the palm of Su Ziyi's left hand tightly. However, due to the obstruction of spiritual energy, the toxins in the spider silk could not penetrate even an inch.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when neither of them could get away from each other, Su Ziyi tightened the muscles of his left upper arm, and with a force, he instantly pulled the black spider over, which was still several feet away! When the opponent's body shot toward him, Su Ziyi's right hand also revived spiritual energy, and three spiritual energy daggers rushed directly towards the opponent's largest abdomen!
"Squeak!"
No matter how hard the black spider struggled, no matter how flexible its movements were, it still hit one of the three spiritual energy daggers. The spiritual energy dagger was extremely sharp and instantly pierced through its soft abdomen. Green blood flowed out, and it screamed with severe pain. At the same time, it decisively bit off the spider silk in its mouth to prevent its body from getting closer to the monk. one cent!
These three spiritual energy daggers also almost exhausted all the spiritual energy in Su Ziyi's body, but he still did not dare to relax at this time, because as soon as the black spider landed on the ground, he immediately endured the severe pain, and when Su Ziyi was a little exhausted, he shot towards the branch next to him. He shot up the spider silk, jumped onto the tree trunk with his body, and then sprayed the spider silk several times, heading in one direction!
When he saw the direction of the opponent, Su Ziyi was horrified. He ignored the empty spiritual energy in his body and his somewhat exhausted body. He gathered spiritual energy on his feet and ran towards that direction faster than a black spider. .
Because that direction is exactly where Su Yulang is hiding!
Chapter 45 Injured Again
Su Yulang's eyes were closed, and her little body was huddled tightly under the tree root, shivering.
Her exposed ears were trembling slightly. Any disturbance from Su Ziyi's side would frighten her. Especially after hearing the shrill cry of the spider, his whole body began to tremble violently. Tears began to fill his eyes.
what to do? what to do? He was really scared.
Before today, he had always thought that his father's fight against monsters was just like the fairy fighting against the big monster in the storybook, with fierce winds, fire, thunder, and frequent spells. Even if he occasionally failed, he could still maintain his monk style and stand proud. He fooled around with the big demon with his elegant body skills, and finally killed the big demon with his sword in a smart way.
In imagination, it is scenery and beautiful.
But now, he doesn't feel it at all. Just the size of the spider and the black spines on its body made him feel scared and disgusted. He saw the speed of the spider when it came out of the forest. It was a speed that even ten of him could not run! He has also seen how long the opponent's spider silk can shoot, and that is the distance that can easily catch him!
In particular, he still remembered the seriousness in his father's voice when he told him to hide it, which made him clearly realize that this spider must be even more extraordinary than he knew.
So what should he do?
Su Yulang was panicking. He wanted to run out of the woods to find Ammu and find more people to help his father, but the escape just now had used up all his strength, and his legs were now weak. of. He also wanted to go up and help his father, but his little arms and legs didn't know magic or anything like that. Going up would just be holding his father back. How could he go out and take risks?
When he was young, he didn't have many thoughts in his mind, but these immature thoughts gradually crushed his heart. He really wants, really wants, really wants to become stronger, so that he can also help his father, instead of just standing aside and watching?
At this moment, when his mind was filled with fear, a strong wind blew up around him.
This gust of wind was not as harsh as the winter wind. Instead, it brought a familiar smell to Su Yulang. It was this smell that made Su Yulang stop sobbing. He opened his tear-filled eyes and raised his head slightly, blinking hard. With his eyes, he shook off the tears on his eyelashes and looked vaguely at the gray figure in front of him. He remembered that his father was wearing gray clothes today, so he spoke without thinking -
"Father -"
Before he could finish his words, another wave of wind with a strong smell brought countless The sound of small branches breaking came over!
But in the blink of an eye, a large circle was made in the air from behind the tree with the help of spider silk, and it was smashed in this direction! The rapid speed and large size made people want to hide subconsciously. However, when the opponent was only an arm's length away from Su Yulang, someone stretched out his hand without fear of death and directly caught the opponent and smashed him. The body that comes here has a perfect beard!
And this person is Su Ziyi who Su Yulang has been worried about!
Su Ziyi, who was filled with panic in his heart, rushed to Su Yulang at the fastest speed in his life, and then used his own flesh and blood to cover the other party tightly. Before he could take a breath, the man who followed him The black spider had already rushed over with its huge anger!
The severe pain in its body made it move faster and its actions became more crazy. It didn't care about anything and spit out the spider silk in its belly one after another as if it was worthless. In order to rush to the front and kill the human cub. But it was injured after all, and the willpower brought by anger could not suppress Su Ziyi's speed. In the end, Su Ziyi barely managed to be one point faster than it.
And even so, even if it saw that annoying monk standing in front of it, it had no intention of escaping. It has already felt that its originally injured abdomen was completely destroyed when the spiritual energy dagger passed through it. As long as it lasts for a few more moments, it will be unable to move due to the abdominal injury and can only suffer. People slaughter.
Therefore, even if it fights to death, it will bite off a piece of flesh from the opponent!
This counterattack before death made it faster, and even the white hairs on its shell stood up, like steel needles shining with cold light, which made people's eyes hurt just by looking at it. Facing the threat of the black spider, Su Ziyi did not retreat. Even before the expression on his face could be expressed, he subconsciously stretched out his right hand and hit the black spider swinging over!
In an instant, a few stiff white hairs from the black spider penetrated into the skin of Su Ziyi's right hand. When the black spider hit the warm human body, it immediately removed all the remaining spider silk from the body without thinking. He spat it out, and in the blink of an eye, Su Ziyi's right hand was tied tightly, like a white ball!
And this was not enough. After cutting off the spider silk, it tilted its head and bit Su Ziyi's wrist with the fangs in its mouth, injecting all the toxins in the fangs into Su Ziyi's blood.
In an instant, Su Ziyi's entire right arm became cold and left, and even the speed of spiritual energy movement slowed down several times. Faced with such a predicament, Su Ziyi didn't think about anything. He immediately put his other hand over, slapped the black spider on the back, and slapped the black spider onto the root of the big tree. The white bristles pricked the palm of his left hand until it was bleeding, but his movements did not slow down at all.
After doing this, Su Ziyi still felt that it was not enough. He completely gave up the defense of his right hand and concentrated all the available spiritual energy in his body on the palm of his left hand. Then he exerted force, and blood and flesh immediately flew out from his hand, with red minced meat and green pus and blood. Under the pressure of the spiritual energy, it sprayed everywhere, splashing all over Su Ziyi's robe and chin.
This time, the black spider stopped moving at all, and the only complete part of its body was the eight melon seeds.
After confirming that the black spider was really dead, Su Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could take a deep breath, the pain from his right hand instantly aroused all his facial nerves, spawning a layer of fine Cold sweat spread across his forehead. Su Ziyi unconsciously used her left hand, which was still dripping with blood, to press the upper right arm where the pain was radiating from the inside. However, she found that her right arm could no longer feel anything at this time, as if it had turned into a piece of wood!
Oops!
According to the records I saw last time, the toxins of black spiders are divided into two parts. One part is wrapped around the spider silk, and the other part is hidden in the fangs in the mouth. Among them, the toxins in the fangs are the most It is so arrogant that it can instantly deprive a monk who has just entered the Qi training stage of all his vitality. It can also cause some people with similar cultivation levels to suffer damage because they have not had time to heal their wounds!
At this time, Su Ziyi, who was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter, had no time to comfort Su Yulang behind him, and immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground. While running his mental training method, he frantically absorbed spiritual energy from the surrounding air, and at the same time, he absorbed the remaining spiritual energy in his body. They all rushed to the right arm, trying to suppress the overbearing poison!
Press! Press! Press hard!
This was the only way he could deal with the toxins in his body at present. He tried his best and used all his spiritual energy to fight against the black spider toxin. But after all, the black spider is a higher level existence than him. When the weak spiritual energy comes into contact with the poison, it is immediately blasted away by the opponent with a devastating force!
Such a decline made Su Ziyi's face become even paler, but he did not give up. He gritted his teeth, opened all his spiritual orifices, and tried his best to absorb the spiritual energy. However, the speed of mental energy absorption is always limited. Even if his lower lip was bitten and bled, the black spider's poison still did not retreat even one point. It was a draw!
How can this make people willing to accept it?
At this time, Su Yulang, who was frightened by the scene of the black spider rushing towards him, finally came to his senses. He glanced at the black spider corpses still scattered on the roots of the tree and felt that the pile of black and green flesh was quite disgusting. , but he couldn't spit it out. He kept his eyes fixed on Su Ziyi's back for a long time, but in the end he could not wait for Su Ziyi's comfort. The panic in his heart set off huge waves in his heart, and his tears flowed out uncontrollably like a river. , an instant expression left on his face.
"Father, father?"
He leaned over with his eyes blank, but just when his hand was about to touch Su Ziyi's back, he withdrew like a frightened deer. He stumbled up by pulling on the tree trunk, and then with endless pain on his face, he wanted to go around to Su Ziyi, but because of an accident, he kicked the root of the tree, and his whole body fell forward, and his whole chest immediately felt like I felt a dull pain as if someone had hit me with a stick, and there were some bloodshot wounds on my face from small branches.
But he didn't care about the pain in his body, or in other words, he had completely forgotten the pain in his body. The second he fell down, he immediately got up again. Before he could stand up, he climbed up from the ground to Su Ziyi on his hands and feet. Then he was frightened by Su Ziyi's deathly pale face and started crying.
"Father, father - don't let anything happen to you -" Su Yulang looked at his father longingly, but Su Ziyi didn't give him any reply, which made him even more frightened. He looked at Su Ziyi's increasingly bad expression and the growing pain on his forehead. The more he sweated, the whole person suddenly seemed to be awakened by a shock, and he unconsciously muttered: "Go to Eminem, go to Eminem-" Then, he did not move Su Ziyi, and hurriedly walked towards Su Ziyi alone
. Get out of the woods.
In fact, it's not that Su Ziyi couldn't hear Su Yulang's voice, but he had already put all his effort into resisting the black spider's poison, and he couldn't care for Su Yulang anymore, let alone comfort him. He just hoped that Su Yulang wouldn't move. he. But fortunately, Su Yulang, who followed Su Ziyi to the mountains these days, had long known that it was best not to touch his father's body when he was meditating, so until he went to find rescue, Su Yulang did not touch Su Ziyi at all.
This made Su Ziyi feel somewhat comforted in his heart, and with Su Yulang's departure, Su Ziyi was able to focus all his attention on his body and attack the toxins in his body with all his strength.
On the other side, Su Yulang almost cried and ran back home. He ran at a speed he had never run before in his life. He even lost one of his shoes, but he didn't look back. He held in his heart "I must not let this happen." The thought of "my father is dead" rushed back home. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted heartbreakingly: "Emma!" That day, after Su Ziyi took Su Yulang out,
Bian Qing felt a little uneasy, but He didn't think about those two people, he just thought that it was because Su Ziyi's advanced cultivation made him feel a little unhappy, so he turned around and started doing housework on his own. While he was organizing the cabinets in his room, a roar in the yard startled him.
That was Alang's voice.
Bian Qing hadn't heard A Lang cry so miserably for a long time, so he immediately threw away the quilt in his hand and walked out quickly. Then he saw that Su Yulang's quilt was dirty with dust and blood. After his little face turned into a mess, his heart became even more panicked. He rushed over in a few steps and hugged Su Yulang's body who was about to fall to the ground. There was endless anxiety in his words: "What's wrong, Ah Lang?" ?"
"Go quickly, Eminem -" At this time, Su Yulang had completely lost all his strength. He was trying his best to explain the matter to Bian Qing here: "Father is seriously injured, Eminem, please hurry up. Go save your father—" At the end of the sentence, Su Yulang thought of Su Ziyi's blood-stained appearance again, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
What?
Su Yulang's words shocked Bian Qing. He immediately let go and checked Su Yulang's whole body from beginning to end. Finally, he felt relieved after confirming that Su Yulang only had some scratches. But while Su Yulang was crying, he didn't forget to urge Bian Qing: "Ah, go quickly, my father can't move now -" "
Okay, I understand." Bian Qing took a deep breath and hugged Su Yulang back. After entering the bedroom, there was no longer any delay and he hurried towards the mountains.
Bian Qing knew the intersection where Su Yulang and Su Ziyi entered the mountain, and because the two of them had been walking the same route for a long time, Bian Qing didn't have to be blind and could easily find Su Ziyi by following the flattened mountain road. And thanks to Bian Qing being an adult man, although his physical strength is not as good as that of a man, he is not too slow and can rush to the scene of the incident at an extremely fast speed. As soon as he arrived, he was also frightened by the tragic situation. A big jump.
At this time, Su Ziyi's healing had progressed to a critical point.
Because the toxin was so powerful, Su Ziyi had to try his best to suppress it. The speed of the cultivation method has exceeded the limit, allowing the spiritual energy to enter his body faster and more. Although this method can He was able to slowly suppress the toxins, but at the same time, due to the overload, too much spiritual energy caused damage to the inner walls of the tendons when passing through them.
And once this damage exceeds the extreme value, it may even cause irreversible sequelae!
