Yu Sha

Chu Weiyang seemed to have not heard the strong man's words, and he wolfed down the meat in the bowl with just a few chews. He took another big gulp, drank up the soup, and put the bowl down. The young man still licked his chapped lips as if he was having an afterthought, and then turned his head to look at the strong man.

"You have earned it by living till now! Do you still remember Zhang Laoqi? He is about the same age as you. He started not remembering who he is dozens of days ago; Wu Er, who had the same cultivation level as you back then. Realm, he froze to death next to me half a month ago. Compared with age and cultivation, what else can be compared? If you work hard for one more day, you will earn more, so be content!"

Trapped in this demon-suppressing cave, what Chu Weiyang saw most was the life and death of others.

The entrance to life and death, which should have brought great terror to people, has been seen too much for too long... Compared with the pieces of meat in the bowl, it is difficult to say which one is more important.

As he said that, Chu Weiyang pursed his lips and looked at the bowl held in the strong man's hand.

"Since you don't have a few days to live, why not give me those pieces of meat. I'll remember your kindness. When you leave, I'll be there to take care of you, and I can teach you to be more decent."

Hearing this, the strong man couldn't even cry or laugh.

"Don't worry about meat. We who are just begging for a living can't care about our dignity after death! We must eat well before we leave."

As he said this, the strong man took a mouthful of meat and soup. Before he finished speaking, the bowl in the strong man's hand was already clean.

Seeing that there was no benefit, Chu Weiyang stopped looking. He clasped his hands, leaned carefully against the stone wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

But he was comfortable here, but the strong man seemed to be aroused to talk about sex. I don't know whether it was because of the fear of life and death, or because he knew that he no longer had to work hard to practice. Instead, he sat there and looked at Chu Weiyang for a long time. .

After being silent for a while, the strong man suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, do you still remember who you are?"

Chu Weiyang didn't answer for a moment. He opened his eyes suddenly, but stared into the deep darkness deep in the grotto, staring blankly.

After a while, the young man nodded.

"I can still remember the general outline, but I can't remember the details. I only vaguely remember that when I was a child, I grew up in the countryside. Then when I was seven years old, my family was hit by a disaster, and there was no harvest. I starved to death all over the field and chewed all the food. I went to eat the bark of the tree, but in the end my parents couldn't bear to give up their son and ate it, so they sold me to Panwang Yuanzong in exchange for half a bag of rice and noodles."

"I haven't seen them since."

"Then in Panwang Sect, it was Zhang Laoqi who taught us how to read and chant sutras; then Wu Er taught us how to practice martial arts and strengthen our bodies; and finally it was you, the elder Chuan Gong, who taught us how to practice, but at the beginning After only two months of learning, someone came to my door, and the whole family was detained in this Demon Suppressing Cave. "

"After that, I felt groggy, day and night, and I don't know how many years have passed."

After saying that, Chu Weiyang heard the strong man beside him sigh to himself.

"I'm sorry for you, but you can still remember it so clearly."

Chu Weiyang shrugged.

"Elder, don't worry about me anymore. There are traces of wasting away people's lives in the Demon Suppressing Cave. You must first seal the meridians of people with turbid evil, making it impossible to improve your cultivation. Then you can erase your consciousness and die in a state of confusion. past."

"Now I am meditating according to the "Qi Nourishing Technique", and I can still make some progress. I think I won't die in the next few days. Just relax, and always walk behind you, elder."

"This must be the case, in order to be considered to have orderly growth and development."

The strong man grinned, as if he wanted to smile, but he held it back.

He scratched his head helplessly, with a sad expression on his face.

"Ever since you entered the mountain gate at the age of seven, you have always been a talkative person since you were a child. Even as a young child at that time, you didn't know where those wisecracks came from."

"It's better to remember clearly. Anping Village, thirty miles south of the Chalcedony River Estuary, was where I bought you with half a bag of rice and noodles."

"Now that I think about it, if I hadn't done this back then, you might have been in a different situation."

"Perhaps, you died early in that catastrophe; maybe if you were lucky enough to survive the disaster, you wouldn't have to follow Pan Wang Yuanzong and suffer like this in the Demon Suppressing Cave..."

"I always think... I have a cause and effect for all the calamities you have suffered today."

"Both of us, let's not talk in circles. Let me tell you straight, forget the "Qi Nourishing Technique". From today on, I will teach you the "Five Zangs and Food Qi Essence Technique"."

"On the third day after Wu Er's death, you started asking me indirect questions. Don't you just want to know how I survived for so long?"

"I didn't tell you before because I didn't have enough food. If we both practiced this technique together, I'm afraid they would both starve to death early."

"Now that my death is not far away, everyone has much more food than before. I can still survive for a while. With me taking care of you, you can improve your cultivation and take care of yourself when the time comes; otherwise I will Once you leave, this technique will be a poisonous poison that will destroy your life!"

"The legal tradition of Panwang Sect..."

"Actually, there is no legal system to speak of. It is said that it is a sect, with two or three big cats and kittens. A person like me can also be an elder... That is, no one from the Sword Sect came to kill me that year. The Panwang Sect is not far away from defeat."

"Forget about the Panwang Sect, just remember the "Five Zangs and Food and Qi Essence Technique". Find an opportunity in the future to pass it on, and don't interrupt the inheritance..."

Perhaps he was too moved by what he heard, and Chu Weiyang sneered instead.

"These words are getting further and further away. What kind of legal system and inheritance are they? Do you think the evil spirit we condense every day is fake? It is a poison that beats the bones and drains the marrow! No matter how exquisite this method is, it can't save you. Is it possible that you can save my life? Even if you can live forever and die trapped in this demon-suppressing cave, I might as well end it myself!"

Hearing this, the strong man sighed.

"That's what I say, but when death is imminent, I always want to live well."

"Besides, only by living can we wait for the real slight turning point!"

"I can't wait any longer, but I want you to wait!"

"It is not a normal phenomenon to suddenly increase the amount of condensed evil spirit. The evil energy in the grotto is permeating as usual, and it is not like the mineral veins are exhausted... In short, there must be monsters when something goes wrong. The turnaround seems slim, but You may not be able to wait..."

"Xiao Chu, don't talk in circles with me anymore."

"Today I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Do you want to practice this "Five Zangs and Food and Qi Essence" or not?"

Hearing this, Chu Weiyang nodded almost without thinking.

"Xiu! Who are you talking about in circles! I am willing to cultivate!"

After saying that, Chu Weiyang raised his withered arm and gently patted the strong man's arm.

"Elder, you saved my life with half a bag of rice and noodles. Now it is difficult to provide for me in old age. When you leave, I will kowtow to you before you die."
