……

【Option [-]】

[Try to keep the strange beggar, and try to find out whether there is a return from him]

……

It was getting late, and the wind in the valley began to cool down.Zheng Zhuo lost too much blood, his head was dizzy, and it became more and more difficult to concentrate his thoughts.

Let a beggar save me... Make a striking mark... Let Fu Xi attach to someone...

All kinds of possibilities sporadically appeared in Zheng Zhuo's mind, which made him suddenly think of one thing.

When entering [Martial Arts World], he had to choose an identity.At that time, in addition to the country boy, the identities to be selected also included the son of the bodyguard bureau, the disciple of the famous family, and the tramp.

He had seen the son of the Escort.It is Lin Qi of the Kunlun School.

And he is indeed inextricably linked with [Gui Yi Jing].

So, is this strange beggar in front of you also related to [Gui Yi Jing]?
Zheng Zhuo came to a dead end, he had no choice but to come up with such a relationship by mistake.

And his idea was reflected in the vote, and finally got the evaluation of "feasible".

"(Must try anyway.)"

You can't be trapped here.

Zheng Zhuo raised his head.

As the sun sets over the western mountains, it gradually becomes dark among the thorn bushes.The moonlight replaced the sunlight, and the figure of the strange beggar not far away became hazy and indistinct.

There were occasional rustling sounds, but he hadn't gone far away.

"Hey! Hey—"

Zheng Zhuo cried out.

rustle.

The figure swayed a bit.

I can still listen.

Having said that, when I yelled "I'm going to die" just now, the other party turned my head.

"(From this point of view... the beggar's heart is not bad.)"

Therefore, Zheng Zhuo honestly asked for help.

"It's so cold in here! I'm bleeding - I'm freezing to death! Please, get me out!"

He shouted at the strange beggar.

If the beggar can get closer to him, at least he can push the thorn bushes away again.In this way, he can get out of this ghost place.

"..."

There was another rustling in the distance.However, Zheng Zhuo waited for a long time, but he couldn't wait for the strange beggar to come to help.

"(Or did I chase too fiercely just now, did I scare people?)"

Zheng Zhuo felt annoyed in his heart: If he had known this, he would have been more amiable at that time.

Although he didn't know how to be pleasant in that situation, he would try harder next time.

If there is a next time in life.

"(Don't respond to me...)"

What to do next?Should I really die here?

Zheng Zhuo has already begun to feel that his consciousness is blurred.He touched his cold ankle, which was covered with sticky blood.

"(Oops... I'm starting to feel dizzy...)"

Just then.

Swish.

Suddenly there was a soft sound in the air.A piece of smelly and dirty cloth was thrown over and covered Zheng Zhuo's face.

what?
Zheng Zhuo was surprised at first.However, with the help of the moonlight, he reached out to fish it out, and found that it was nothing but the ragged coat that the beggar was wearing.

He actually took off his clothes and threw them over.

"(Did you take off your clothes for me because I said 'I'm freezing to death'?)"

Zheng Zhuo realized at the moment, he couldn't laugh or cry.

In the distance, the black shadow was still turning around.

"Thank you." Zheng Zhuo smiled wryly.

He was grateful for the kindness of the beggar.But……

The wind leaks from all sides of this tattered jacket, so it is impossible to use it to keep out the cold.

Probably hearing that Zheng Zhuo's tone was not as happy as expected, the strange beggar yelled indistinctly, and moved a little closer.

The figure of the beggar became clear.Under the moonlight, Zheng Zhuo saw his bony body and ribs protruding from his waist.

He was stunned.

It was strange that the beggar had given him the only piece of clothing on his body.

The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and sincerity is rare.Zheng Zhuo was really touched this time.

"I'm fine. You can still wear the clothes."

He said he wanted to throw the clothes back with his hands, so he reached out and grabbed the clothes in his hands.

And under this grasp, a "chacha" sound was suddenly heard.

There is something in the clothes.

The idea just now crossed Zheng Zhuo's mind.

This is the only piece of clothing worn by the beggar, and if the beggar has [Return to One Sutra]...

Where will it be hidden?
He hesitated for a moment, then endured the smell, and carefully opened the inner lining of the tattered gown.

Inside were several pages of yellowed paper.Zheng Zhuo twisted them out carefully, and slowly read the words on them under the moonlight.

"Practice your form externally, train your tendons internally. All kinds of martial arts lead to the same goal..."

Zheng Zhuo originally wanted to find out the secret of [Return to the First Classic] from this beggar, but he didn't think about it, and found the paper [Return to the First Classic] directly!
Seeing hope, he lifted his spirits, and suddenly he didn't feel any pain in his body.He used [Appraisal] to look.

……

[Item: [Return to the First Classic] handwritten fragments: external skills]

……

It turns out that this is a hand-copied fragment of the external power part of [Gui Yi Jing].In this way, the paper used is indeed not like the rice paper used in scriptures.Upon closer inspection, the transcriber's handwriting is beautiful, like a woman.Next to the transcribed part, there are notes.

The note is to use the martial arts I know to deduce while reading the external skills mental method.Among them, the [Liuyun Kungfu] was used as an example.Then it seemed that he realized something from it, and wrote a new lightness method next to it.

Zheng Zhuo saw that the owner of the note named it [Light Smoke Step].

These two exercises were written down in this handwritten fragment.It's no wonder that on the panel of the dumb beggar, only these two have been learned.

"Is it too late to learn... now?"

Zheng Zhuo only got this secret technique at the critical moment of life and death.He has no choice but to practice now.

Nine twists and turns, the hurdle of life and death.

What Zheng Zhuo wants to learn is without a doubt [Liuyun Kungfu].According to the scriptures, he let his consciousness flow through every inch of his body, breathing in and out.

His panel hasn't shown yet, but it seems to be less painful.

I have to go out first.Zheng Zhuo exerted all his strength and moved away little by little.

It was dark all around, and he couldn't tell the north, south, east, and west.He moved slowly towards the nearest mountain arm, and after another hour, he finally touched the mountain.

The thorns gather here.Zheng Zhuo finally found a gap and pulled out his hand, pulling out the long hook.He hacked a small clearing and was finally able to catch his breath.

The strange beggar was very happy to see him coming out, so he moved closer.Zheng Zhuo thanked him for being kind to him, and he also provided a life-saving method, and he also carved out an open space for the strange beggar to rest.

"...I saved my life."

Zheng Zhuo took out some elixirs left over from his close pocket, took them, and sat down on the ground.

"(Strange. I didn't return all night, but Xiang Renjie didn't come to look for it.)"

he thought.

"(Could it be that he has found [Gui Yi Jing], achieved his goal, and left the valley? No. The [Ruler] card is in the [Gui Yi Jing] that fell into the valley, and he is not as powerful as [Joker] A way to seal the contents. It stands to reason that once he gets it, both of us will leave [Martial Arts World].)”

"(So he is also in distress?)"

Zheng Zhuo looked around.

On his right is the entrance to Luoling just now.If you want to go back there, you have to wait for yourself to learn [Liuyun Art], so that the thorns will not invade.

He couldn't afford to suffer another set of injuries like this.

or……

Zheng Zhuo raised his head.

The walls are steep.But when he was chasing that strange beggar, he once saw him stepping on steep rocks like he was on flat ground.

If you learn [Light Smoke Step], you may be able to jump directly from the mountain wall.

"It's okay to study all of them... But I'm afraid it will take too long in terms of time."

Then.
