Prove martial arts

Chapter 3 Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water (this chapter is free)

Under the moonlight, Ye Dong limped on the way back to his residence in the back mountain. 26nbsp; Here in the back mountain is the flower and tree nursery in Guiyuan City, and Ye Dong's lives next to the nursery.

Originally, he lived at the foot of the mountain just like the handyman disciples.

But Ye Dong had his own ideas, he wanted to practice martial arts secretly so that no one would know, so he simply moved to Houshan under the pretext of taking care of the nursery.No one comes here at night, Ye Dong can safely and boldly practice martial arts secretly without worrying about being discovered.

"Kneeling for a whole day, I didn't get things done today, and tomorrow I'm going to give out the marrow washing pill. That bastard Zhou Qiang will definitely take this opportunity to deduct my wages."

Here in Guiyuan Mountain, the handyman disciples are different from outsiders. They not only have ample wages every month, but also give each of them three pills of washing marrow every month.Although the Xisui Pill is not an expensive pill, it is very effective in washing the bones and cutting the marrow. After eating it, even if it cannot be reborn, it can still eliminate toxins in the body, and it has the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body.

The Zhou Qiang that Ye Dong talked about was just a small leader in charge of the nursery handyman disciples. He was also a handyman student himself, but he thought he was superior to others.

Ye Dong didn't want to be detained by Zhou Qiang again. He felt that he was about to break through to the third stage of "inner strength and true energy". Now he was wandering in this level and needed the aid of the Xisui Pill to break through that layer of barriers. .

"If I cultivate true energy, my physical fitness will undergo a complete change!" Ye Dong exhaled, "In two months, it will be the time for the recruitment of outer disciples. I must hurry up, and within these two months Improve my strength as much as possible. As long as I pass the test and become an outer disciple, I can develop well, and I don’t have to give it to the oppressed handyman disciple!"

Ye Dong's eyes flickered with a trace of brilliance.

When we came to the nursery, under the bright moonlight, everything in the nursery could be seen clearly.

"Sure enough, these seedlings that have just grown leaves are all wilted. If you don't water tonight, tomorrow will be dead seedlings!" Ye Dong smiled bitterly. He didn't know how these flower seedlings on Guiyuan Mountain were so fragile. If you don't water it, you will live and die!

He returned to the small thatched hut next to the nursery, picked up a pole and two buckets, but instead of going down to the mountain stream not far below, he walked up unsteadily.

"Fortunately, when I took a bath, I found such a pool. I used the water in it to irrigate the seedlings. No matter how badly they withered, they could come back to life very quickly. Unfortunately, I don't know why."

This pool is hidden above the mountain stream, which was discovered by Ye Dong by accident.

Above the mountain stream, everything was shrouded in moonlight, and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

In just a moment, Ye Dong arrived at the top of the mountain stream with ease. There was a raised place, three feet square, and the pool was on the raised place.

"Why is the moon so big from here?" Ye Dong put down the bucket, looked up, and found that the moon he saw was extraordinarily large from this angle.

The pool water in front of me was clear, and around the pool water, there were almost all stones, only a few sparse grasses.The source of this pool of water looks like stagnant water, but it has always been clear and cold to the touch. In this hot summer, taking a bath in it feels extraordinarily comfortable.

Ye Dong has come here to take a bath almost every day for half a year.

"Take a shower first, let's talk about it!" Ye Dong's whole body was tense at the moment, he immediately took off his clothes and jumped in.

The stimulation brought by the cold water flowing over his body made him feel refreshed, as if the pores all over his body had been opened.Even the place where he was beaten by Senior Brother Wu this morning seemed to feel no pain soon.

"It's so comfortable!" Ye Dong leaned comfortably on the stone by the pool, soaking in it, feeling refreshed all over, not to mention how comfortable it was.

He closed his eyes and let the pool soak in the water. The clear and crisp chirping of insects came from the surrounding mountains and forests, making him look very quiet.Before he knew it, Ye Dong closed his eyes, leaned against the edge of the pool and fell into a sleepy sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Dong suddenly dreamed that he was wrapped in ice, and his whole body was bitingly cold, and then he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Why did it suddenly become cold?" Ye Dong was very surprised. At this moment, he saw that a thin layer of ice appeared on the surface of the pool water. The water is weird!"

Ye Dong suddenly realized something, he suddenly felt 'creepy', and immediately crawled out of the pool, and was about to put on his clothes. Shining into Ye Dong's eyes.

"Hiss, what a big snake! How come there are horns on the snake's head!" Ye Dong was dumbfounded. Not far from him, there was a strange snake as thick as a bucket, which was fully ten meters long, and the silver snake he saw Hua is actually the scales on the snake, reflecting the moonlight in the sky.The snake was not far from the water pool, wriggling slowly, as if it had arranged something on the ground, and while it was arranging, it was approaching the cold pool.

Ye Dong felt an icy breath, and his body seemed to be frozen: "It turns out that this strange snake is responsible for all this!" He saw that where the snake passed by, the grass and trees were covered There is a layer of crystal clear ice crystals, reflecting the magnificent luster under the moon.

"It seems that this strange snake is going to come to the top...if it finds me, it will definitely eat me." Ye Dong thought about it, and he didn't wear any clothes. He just took the clothes and bucket and went down to the small pool quietly. inside.

"Strange, why is the water in the pool not as icey as before?" Ye Dong felt weird when he entered the water, but within a short while, the thin ice in the pool disappeared without a trace.

It's freezing cold outside, but the water in this pool is just cool, in stark contrast!

"Hiding here, I hope that strange snake won't find me." Ye Dong thought to himself, and buckled the wooden barrel on his head. The moment he lowered his head, he suddenly found that there was a ghost in the shadow of the moon in the pool water. , there is a shadow of a budding plant.

The reason why Ye Dong noticed it was because when the pool of water was shaking, the plant remained motionless in the moon reflected in the pool of water.

"There is no vegetation here..." Ye Dong looked around, but the surrounding area was still bare. When he looked up, he could only see the extraordinarily large moon above his head.

"A flower that blooms in the water. This is the first time I've seen it." Ye Dong subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the plant, passed through the pool, and found nothing.

How is this going!Ye Dong's expression became very exciting in an instant.

He could see his hand near the plant, but he didn't 'touch' it at all. Moreover, in the process, he could see the flower buds of the plant gradually blooming.

Snow-white flowers!

"Flowers in the mirror!" This word flashed across Ye Dong's mind, it was the best description of the scene before him, at this moment, Ye Dong suddenly heard the small voice of Sarala from above, and knew it was the silver 'The strange snake came over, and he immediately buckled the wooden barrel on his head, then submerged his body in the water, and hid his head in the barrel. In this way, even though the cabin was in the water, he could still breathe the air in the barrel, so he wouldn't feel stuffy .

Even under the water, Ye Dong could still see the illusory flower slowly blooming its leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hiss..."

At this time, Ye Dong heard a strange sound coming from outside, he held his breath, looked up through the water, and found that the silver strange snake was breathing continuously into the pool with its mouth open.

Straits of white breath, like flying arrows, shot out from the mouth and landed on the pool water, the temperature of the pool water immediately dropped crazily.

"It's so cold!" Ye Dong was freezing, but he didn't dare to move.

At this moment, the moonlight outside was suddenly summoned, like mercury pouring down the ground, converging towards this side, falling into the pool, the snow-white petals instantly absorbed the moonlight, and the petals fully bloomed, revealing the whole body inside Small green beads.

As soon as the bead appeared, the surrounding pool water immediately began to heat up.

The silver strange snake was very anxious, and the white breath it spewed became thicker instantly, but even so, the temperature of the pool water rose rapidly.

And the small green bead has seven small holes on it, like the seven orifices of a human being, it seems to be breathing there at the moment, and the bright green breath passes through those small holes, and it is indeterminate.

The breath breathed out by the little bead became more and more intense.Moreover, the small beads actually slowly floated up from the petals, as if they were about to fly away.

Ye Dong, who was underwater, only felt that the small bead swallowed, and his body felt very comfortable.Seeing that the little bead seemed to be leaving, Ye Dong suddenly felt an uncontrollable reluctance to let go, that kind of emotion was completely out of his control, it was purely natural.

The silver strange snake was very anxious, seeing that the icy breath it exhaled could not freeze the pool water, the little bead was about to leave the pool water, the snake's mouth opened suddenly, and a radiant blue The bead the size of an 'se' egg flew up suddenly and hit the emerald green bead directly.

Under the water, Ye Dong only saw a flash of blue light, and then the pool water became extremely cold in an instant.

Click click click.The pool water freezes quickly!

Ye Dong turned pale with shock, and he could tell that the silver snake wanted to get the green bead, so it wanted to freeze the pool water to prevent the green bead from flying away.It's just that Ye Dong never expected that he would also suffer and be frozen inside together!

At this time, the snow-white petals suddenly fell off piece by piece, and flew out, wrapping the blue bead with lightning speed.

The temperature stopped dropping.

Seeing that the blue bead was wrapped, the silver basilisk immediately panicked. It wanted to take the bead back, but it was wrapped by the petals, making it difficult to move.

The two sides were in a stalemate, so the green bead became more relaxed.The green breath on it became more and more intense, and a refreshing feeling came from above.

Ye Dong felt a sudden oppression in his chest. He persisted underwater for so long, the air in the bucket had already been exhausted. "Hula", he couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly emerged from the pool.The strange snake was also very surprised to see Ye Dong suddenly appearing in the pool.

Ye Dong gasped for breath, but saw that under the moonlight, the green bead in the pool was about to fly out of the water.

"This green bead has an extraordinary origin, and even the silver monster would like to get it. It must be a rare treasure." Without hesitation, Ye Dong stretched out his hand and grabbed the green bead. 'colored' beads.

At this time, the snow-white petals and the blue beads were glued together, and no one could control Ye Dong's hands.

As soon as the green bead came out of the water, Ye Dong caught it squarely.

Before Ye Dong could react, he felt a tingling pain in the palm of his hand, and then he felt a huge force suddenly impacting his consciousness. Before he had time to look at the bead in his hand, he opened his eyes. Turned white and passed out.

He didn't know anything about what happened after that!

The sun was shining on his face, Ye Dong woke up leisurely, he sat up suddenly, and found that he was still soaking in the pool water.

"What happened last night? Could it be that I had a dream?" Ye Dong was puzzled, he looked around, and there was no shadow of the silver snake.He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw a few broken snow-white petals floating on the surface of the pool.

Ye Dong's face was strange, he quickly raised his hand, the palm was intact.

"What's going on? Isn't it a dream?" Ye Dong stared at his palm in a daze. He only remembered last night that his hand was tingling and he lost consciousness.However, on the small pool, there are those snow-white petals floating.

Ye Dong wanted to pick it up to see what happened, but the snow-white petals shattered when touched.

"Oops. The sun is so high. I didn't carry water yesterday, and I have to send out the marrow washing pill today. It's too bad!" Ye Dong suddenly remembered that he didn't care about other things that he should do last night, and immediately went to the small pool. He crawled out and found his clothes to put on.

"Huh? This is?" Ye Dong suddenly saw a young grass tattoo on his chest, "I don't have this thing on my body! Could it be... this is the one that got into my body." Bead left?"

Ye Dong frowned, although the beads got into his body, he didn't feel any discomfort.

But now he didn't have time to worry about this matter, Ye Dong casually filled the wooden bucket with water, then carried it on a pole, and ran down quickly.

"After pouring the water, go and get last month's money and the three marrow washing pills!"

Sure enough, as Ye Dong expected, without watering for a day and a night, those fragile flower seedlings have all withered.

"That bastard Zhou Qiang, it seems that he is going to detain me!" Ye Dong was very angry. He was 'forced' to kneel down in the martial arts arena yesterday. If they all withered and failed to complete the task when the time limit expired, he would be punished for sure.

Even though there was no hope, Ye Dong still poured several loads of water.

"It's late, hurry up and get it." Looking at the sun, Ye Dong threw down the bucket and ran down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a tidy courtyard. This is the place where the handyman disciples who manage the nursery live.

In the yard, a few disciples in gray clothes were gathering together to chat. When they saw Ye Dong approaching, they immediately changed their target.

Immediately, someone said strangely: "Isn't this Ye Dong? How comfortable is it to kneel for a day?"

"What a good job it is to be a handyman disciple? You don't know it, and you are so bold that you slipped into the martial arts arena to learn martial arts secretly, aren't you looking for death?"

"That's right, you're so lucky. I met Senior Brother Wu, who was kind and didn't kill you. If it were someone else, he would have been killed by a palm and dragged to the back mountain to feed the wild dogs."

"No, have you heard that there was a cook who secretly learned martial arts while serving dishes. After being caught, he was blown to death in an oil pan alive. Tsk tsk, it's really scary. Why do you think there are people who are not afraid of death? Do you have to do something like this?"

"Don't piss to see what virtue you have? The toad wants to eat swan meat, tsk tsk!"

Ridiculous words continued to flow into the ears.

Ye Dong's expression didn't change, he had expected that these people would say this.

"Disciples of handymen, in Guiyuan Mountain, what is the difference between slaves? A bunch of mediocre people are willing to be slaves! The sparrows know the ambitions of the big ones!" Ye Dong dismissed them, and didn't even have the time to talk to them.

Seeing that Ye Dong ignored them and left, those few people were not angry, cursed a few words behind them, then changed the subject and started talking about other trivial matters.

Ye Dong went straight into the courtyard and walked towards the main hall.

A fat man in gray clothes was sitting lazily in the main hall, shaking a fan in his hand, resting his legs on the table with his eyes closed.

"Brother Zhou, I'm here to receive last month's monthly salary and marrow washing pill." Although he hated Zhou Qiang, Ye Dong was not a fool and would not show it on his face.

Zhou Qiang opened his eyes and saw Ye Dong who was smiling all over his face, but his face suddenly became ugly.He put his legs down, stood up abruptly, pointed his fan at Ye Dong, and roared.

"You still have the face to ask for it? You angered Senior Brother Takeda, but you made me suffer, and I was scolded for being ineffective in discipline. Hmph, you still have the face to ask for it?"

Ye Dong has long been aware of Zhou Qiang's tricks. The reason why the other party came up and yelled at him without saying a word was because he wanted to put pressure on himself and make excuses for later deductions.

If it were someone else, they might have walked away on the spot, but Ye Dong wouldn't.

He said gratefully: "Brother Zhou, I know you have a lot of adults. If you hadn't covered me this time, I would definitely be in bad luck. Sigh, I am really grateful. I know that Brother Zhou will not embarrass my younger brother. Don't scare me any more."

Ye Dong casually put a high hat on him, which made Zhou Qiang, who always liked to bluff, secretly happy.

"Scaring you?" Zhou Qiang snorted coldly, but his expression softened a lot, "Although you are my younger brother, you caused too much trouble this time. If I hadn't tried my best to intercede for you, in my opinion In terms of face, he might have been beaten to death long ago!"

Ye Dong was speechless for a moment, this fat man really dared to say that it was his credit that he was not slapped to death by Brother Wu?

"Ordinarily, you should not be given a monthly salary this month, but because of your hard work on weekdays... Well, I will let you go, give you half of the monthly salary, plus a pill for washing marrow! I violated the rules , about secretly giving you monthly money, don’t tell it, you know?”

Fatty Zhou looked heartbroken.

"Yes, yes. Of course I won't say it." Ye Dong nodded hastily. How could he not know the narrow-mindedness of this fat man, but he would not tell the truth, because it would only make him more bullied.

"I need the Marrow Cleansing Pill to attack the third realm. If the fat man doesn't give it to me, the hope will be even slimmer. No, I have to find a way." Thinking, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Ye Dong showed a distressed look on his face, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, you see, I was injured by Brother Wu and suffered internal injuries, and I still counted on this Xisui Pill to heal my internal injuries. Alas, I know that Brother Zhou is in trouble, but I hope Brother Zhou can help my younger brother with this. How about this, I will use the monthly money as a deposit and stay here, hoping to temporarily borrow five pills of marrow washing from Brother Zhou. Then when the monthly salary is paid later, I will repay it. How about it? ?”

Seeing Zhou Qiang hesitate, Ye Dong struck while the iron was hot, stretched out a hand, and shook it in front of Zhou Qiang: "Lend me a pill of washing marrow now, and when I return it in the future, besides each pill of washing marrow, I will also add five taels of silver." interest!"

Zhou Qiang's small eyes lit up when he heard that each pill of washing marrow had an interest of five taels of silver.

"Where are five pills enough? For a complete recovery, I still have ten pills here, so I'll lend you all of them."
