Chapter 1: The Crazy Old Man
Fengyuan Country, in Longzhou, on the west side of Nandan County, in the Moshi Valley.
"Huh, why does my head hurt so much?"
With a soft groan, Luo Ping gradually raised his head, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and his vision was blurred.
"Where is this?"
Slowly widening his eyes, the scene around him gradually became clearer.
As far as the eye can see, the towering trees have spiral trunks from the bottom to the top, and the leaves are as black as ink.
The leaves joined together, obscuring half of the space above Luo Ping's head, and the other half of the space still allowed him to see the sun's rays clearly.
"Isn't this a plant endemic to the borders of the Inkstone Valley? How could I be here? Let me think about ......"
"By the way, I originally came out to look for the Black Ink Stone, but I didn't dig it for two hours, and I wanted to climb over a hill to the other side, but I fell down. ”
Thinking of this, Luo Ping once again turned his gaze to the bright side.
A hill no more than a hundred feet tall stood, and there was some gravel scattered about the mountain, which stretched all the way to his side.
"It seems that I really rolled down from here, I'm really useless, I'm twelve years old, and I haven't been promoted to a martial artist yet, and I will fall down from such a low hill even when I come out to dig a black ink stone, it's really embarrassing. Yes...... God, you're so unfair. ”
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
Thinking of all the things he had experienced in the past ten years, Luo Ping could no longer suppress his emotions, and suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted.
Shouting and shouting like this, he fell asleep tired again, and he slept surprisingly sweetly when he was physically and mentally exhausted.
When I woke up again, I found that it was already dark.
"No, it's getting dark, I'm going back, it's not safe to stay here, it's miserable to meet wild beasts. ”
As he slowly got up, he realized that he was sore and bleeding from a wound on his leg.
Although he couldn't practice martial arts, he never stopped polishing his body, otherwise, it would not only be a leg injury.
"Looks like the wound needs to be bandaged, otherwise the smell of blood will attract beasts. ”
However, there was nothing around him, so he could only tear a piece of cloth from his clothes and bandage it first, and then deal with it carefully when he returned
Luo Ping bandaged his leg wound and was about to leave, but he heard a 'rustle, rustle' sound in the distance, obviously something was approaching him.
At this time, there was nothing but wild beasts, and now it was too late to hide, so he took out all his weapons without hesitation.
"Even if it's a beast, I won't back down, rather than sit back and wait, it's better to fight, maybe there is still a chance of life. ”
He thought so because his body did not require physical exertion, and the woods were flat, as long as he lured the beast to the woods, he still had a chance, and the newly purchased weapons also made him very reassured.
In just a moment, Luo Ping saw the enemy in front of him clearly, it was a wild boar with a height of five feet and a long body.
Two fangs stretched out from the corners of the boar's mouth, shining at him, and the gray hair on the boar's body stood up at the roots, looking like it was about to attack.
"Roar"
After the wild boar barked twice, the wild boar swooped towards Luo Ping like an arrow off the string.
Seeing that he was about to die, Luo Ping moved under his feet, dodged the blow with strange steps, and then did not hesitate to take out the "lotus dagger" and stab it into the eyes of the wild boar, the wild boar's whole body is rough and thick, and only the eyes can make it hurt.
With a "poof", the wild boar was defenseless, and one eye was already bloody. didn't have time to think about it, Luo Ping immediately turned around and ran towards the woods.
The wild boar was also enraged at this time, followed by the chase, just ran about ten zhang, Luo Ping turned around sharply, took out an iron cylinder, pulled the lead behind hard, nearly a hundred shining flying nails sprayed out, and then without looking at the result, he changed direction again and ran up,
"Bang ......"
The sound of penetrating flesh and blood kept coming out on the boar's body, and in the blink of an eye, the front half of the boar's body was already covered with flying nails, and the speed of the forward rush was also paused.
"Roar"
After a few calls, the boar chased after him again.
It's just that at this time, Luo Ping was standing about ten zhang in front of it to the left and waiting for it, how could the wild boar have thoughts, seeing that the prey was in front of him, he rushed over without hesitation.
It's just that he just rushed to a place of four or five feet, but he was suddenly planted, and the two forelimbs had been broken and fell to the ground in unison.
The boar finally let out a deafening roar. Then he lay on the ground and could no longer move.
Seeing this scene, Luo Ping finally put his mind at ease.
Previously, taking advantage of the gap when the wild boar was blocked by the flying nails, he quickly wrapped another weapon "throat cutting wire" between two big trees, hoping that the wild boar would not make a sharp turn without IQ, and could use it to hit it hard. Now it seems that this approach is still very clear.
Now the wild boar has no advantage of taking the initiative, so he can only be slaughtered. However, Luo Ping did not relax his vigilance, and first took out the "left and right open bow" and shot at the wild boar again.
After that, he took out a short knife and walked forward and slashed at the boar with great force. However, the skin and flesh of the wild boar were too hard, and it took half of the time to cut the incense with Luo Ping's strength, and the wild boar died completely.
At this time he was again exhausted and had to sit down to rest. Looking at the blood all over his body, he didn't care, only a firm belief
"No matter what, I want to embark on the path of martial arts, become the strongest, and not let anyone bully, even a beast. ”
After resting for a while, feeling that his strength had recovered, Luo Ping walked to the outskirts of the valley again, because he had climbed over the hills to reach the woods during the day, and now his leg was injured, and he could not climb the mountain again, so he had to take a long detour and leave from the junction of the woods and the valley.
"I guess I won't be able to go home tonight, so I can only go to the outskirts of the valley first and then figure out a way. ”
In this way, Luo Ping walked for two hours to reach the entrance of the valley, and before he could be happy, he immediately prepared for defense again.
It turned out that in the moonlight, there was an old man with gray hair sitting in front of him, and his robe was tattered and dirty.
There was a gourd hanging from his waist, and I don't know what it contained. At this moment, the old man was facing away from him, and suddenly reached out and picked up the gourd and put it to his mouth and drank it.
"Haha, good wine, good wine, little doll, why are you here alone in the middle of the night?"
After drinking for a while, the old man still didn't turn around, but asked about Luo Ping's situation.
"Why should I tell you, why are you running here so late when you're not at home?"
Luo Ping didn't want to answer this old man at all, his intuition told him that this old man must not be simple, otherwise it would be so late, he wouldn't go to the county government square to dance, what would he do in this wilderness?
"Haha, I have a personality, I like it, little doll, it's your blessing to meet the poor road, do you know, I'm actually meditating here specifically to wait for you. ”
"I'm waiting for me, I don't know you, how do you know I'm in the valley? You don't want to touch porcelain, do you?"
Luo Ping suddenly had a terrible thought.
In recent years, there are often some elderly people in the county office who will lie in the middle of the road where the carriage passes for no reason, and then complain that the owner of the carriage hit him, and use this as an excuse to extort silver taels.
Now seeing this gray-haired old man sitting here, Luo Ping also thought of this situation.
"What, little bunny, you dare associate me with those people, you...... You...... You're so visionless. ”
The old man stood up suddenly, turned around, and glared angrily.
At this time, Luo Ping saw the old man's face clearly, although his hair was gray, the skin on his face was as smooth as a baby, and his face was even more red when he was angry at the moment.
A long beard perpendicular to his chest, but it was covered with dust and wine, and a pair of deep eyes were as clear as water, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Luo Ping looked at it and felt that he had no secrets to speak of, but he would not compromise, and he didn't care about the other party's reprimand.
"Are you a human or a ghost, don't come near me, or you'll die a miserable death, just like ......"
"Just like the boar before, right?"
The old man didn't wait for him to finish, and then hurriedly said.
"How do you know?"
Luo Ping finally showed a surprised expression, feeling that this old man was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Haha, you don't care how I know, just know that I'm a good person and will be your master soon. ”
"What's the matter, little doll, would you like to worship me as a teacher? ”
The old man took a few more sips of wine, and looked around Luo Ping in a circle.
I kept muttering something like 'good, really good', 'really a good seedling', 'it's hard to see in ten thousand years'.
Luo Ping listened to the old man's words, but he was relieved.
"It turns out that the old man is waiting for me here to take me as an apprentice, and it seems that there will be no danger, otherwise, he would have already attacked me. ”
"Although I don't know what level of martial artist he is, but looking older than my grandfather, I shouldn't be too weak. But what did he like about me, and he wanted to take me as an apprentice? I can't cultivate? No, I must ask clearly."
Luo Ping is worthy of being very smart, and he has thought through a lot of problems in a blink of an eye.
"Stop, don't turn around, if you want me to apprentice, you have to tell me what level of martial artist you are, and besides, you should always tell me where you come from, I can't inexplicably worship a person of unknown origin as a teacher, right?"
When the old man heard this, he stopped spinning in circles, but he jumped around and said: "So you plan to worship me as a teacher, then okay, I'll tell you, being a teacher is not a martial artist......".
"It's not a martial artist, it's not a martial artist, you still dare to say that you accept me as an apprentice? old man, you're a funny head, aren't you?" the old man's words were interrupted by Luo Ping before he finished speaking.
He now feels that this old man either has a problem with his head, or is an empty nester, who has been lonely for too long, and he has nothing to say.
Who doesn't know that Hongtian Continent is a place where martial arts are respected and strength is supreme, and being able to become a high-level martial artist will inevitably be admired by countless people.
And if you can't cultivate, you can only be an ordinary person for the rest of your life and live an ordinary life.
I thought that this crazy old man was a hidden high-level martial artist, but I didn't expect that he was a second-rate son who was out of tune.
After Luo Ping left a sentence, he didn't look back and planned to leave this place, but before he took two steps, he found that his whole body was bound and he couldn't take a step forward.
A pair of deep and charming eyes are turning from side to side, and the face is full of disbelief.
