Chapter 29: Melting Ice Heart
The part about strength was explained in great detail, and a lot of ancient books were consulted to find allusions in them. The internal strength described by Jin Yong and Gu Long was not groundless, and the description of the bronze sword in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was also true, with records of expert identification.
Before long, the majestic city walls of the base city and the towering buildings in the city were in sight. Ye Chen quickened his pace and rushed into the city, leaving footprints on the ground.
As they got closer to the city gate, more and more people gathered around. When they saw Ye Chen running with a huge monster in his hand, they were so scared that they moved to the sides. In addition to being amazed, they could not help but feel a little envious.
The people guarding the city gates moved aside one after another, not daring to stop them and check their city residence permits. After Ye Chen entered the base city, he went straight to where Xu Tianguo and others lived, threw the body of the armored mastiff under the building, and then walked up to call Xu Tianguo and others down.
"Did you hunt this?" Xu Tianguo said in astonishment, looking at the corpse of the Armored Mastiff.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "The flesh and blood of this monster is very nutritious, enough for you to eat and drink. The outer skin can be made into leather armor, which monsters of level 10 cannot tear apart. It depends on your own development in the future. Work hard and don't let me down."
Xu Tianguo and others looked at each other, feeling a little heavy.
"How is the collection of corpses going?" Ye Chen looked at Xu Tianguo and asked.
Xu Tianguo smiled bitterly and said, "Recently, we have found a warehouse, negotiated the price, and recruited a group of ordinary people to advertise in the city. In the past few days, many people have come to sell, and the momentum is very fierce! I am worried that if this continues, we will not have enough funds on hand!"
"It's okay, just go ahead and collect it." Ye Chen said calmly, "Just tell me when you don't have enough funds, and I'll find a way."
Xu Tianguo nodded slightly.
After explaining some things, Ye Chen left here and walked towards the general camp.
Along the way, we saw many people walking leisurely on the lawn. In fact, after an exciting battle, most people would find a place to relax. Some people like to go to luxurious places, while others like to rest in a quiet place.
"Look, that's Ye Chen?"
"Oh, look at how miserable he is. He has lost all his clothes."
"He actually challenged Yun Shaojing without even considering his own weight. Even the generals are like dogs in front of Yun Shaojing."
Many people looked at Ye Chen with disdain. Ye Chen looked calm and ignored what they said. In the eyes of others, he was just a reckless man, which was exactly what he wanted.
After arriving at the residence, I picked up the towel and walked into the public bath.
In the general camp, there is a large public bathhouse. It was originally a large water pool, but was later rebuilt. The underground water intake system is connected to the production department, which extracts water from the nearby river. After being tested by the scientific research department and confirmed to be harmless to the human body, it will be injected into the bathhouse.
When Ye Chen arrived here, there were already quite a few people in the bathing pool, some swimming in the pool, and some smoking leisurely on the side, but there were no women. In the general camp, female generals were quite rare, most of them were evolvers, and they had opened a special bathing pool.
Ye Chen, wearing only a pair of large shorts, walked over and washed his body by the pool, rubbing off a lot of dirt.
"Hey, the powerful person who challenged Yun Shaojing?"
"Yun Shaojing has been away for the past few days, otherwise he would have been buried by now."
"Men who fight for a woman's favor are rubbish."
There were many discussions, but Ye Chen pretended not to hear them and finished washing calmly. Then, under the pointing and talking around him, he lazily soaked for a while. When it was late at night, he slowly got up and left.
In the following two days, Ye Chen only occasionally went out to hunt monsters.
Ever since he gained control of the energy, Ye Chen has not slept at night, but has been practicing. This energy is called the energy of life. It exists in the air in a thin layer and enters the human body along with oxygen. It can nourish the soul!
The soul is a more mysterious existence.
No one can deny its existence, but no one can see it. A scientist once did an experiment to test the weight of a dying person. At the moment of his death, his weight dropped by one gram!
In the field of supernatural science, proving that the soul is real does not transcend the scope of science and technology. Just like light, sunlight, and temperature are all energy, the soul is actually also a kind of energy, it's just more mysterious.
The soul is always burning, and the fuel is the breath of life. When there is no fuel, it will go out. Therefore, the ancients said: "When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out!" The light is equivalent to the soul, and the lamp oil is the breath of life.
He sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees, which is the posture of Buddhist meditation. Many ancient books describe it this way. Both Taoists and Buddhists sit cross-legged. There are certain requirements for this sitting posture. There are many meridian acupoints in the human body. Among them, the five most powerful acupoints for collecting vital energy are the soles of the feet, the palms of the hands, and the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head. These are called the Five Hearts Facing Heaven, forming an aura circulation from bottom to top!
Some people sleep too much in bed or do not walk for a long time, which will cause their legs to become weak and their mental state to be poor. This is because the "acupoints" on the soles of their feet have not absorbed the life energy emitted from the earth for a long time, causing lack of spirit and physical deterioration, which makes it easy to develop various diseases.
Therefore, people who exercise regularly and run have very good mental and physical states. The first is that the blood circulates when running, and the other is that the soles of the feet absorb the vital energy of the ground.
After sitting cross-legged, Ye Chen's mind entered a state of tranquility. His whole body began to feel slightly warm, starting from the soles of his feet. As time went on, the heat gradually moved upward along the soles of his feet and to his lower abdomen. His whole body felt warm, but not hot. If it was hot, it meant that he had a stitch in the side and he had to stop immediately, otherwise the airflow would lose control in his meridians, causing irreparable damage.
Ye Chen could almost feel the thin life energy being absorbed from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, the soles of his feet, and the palms of his hands, circulating within his body. His whole body was in a floating state, as if he was sitting on the clouds, extremely comfortable.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After a night, Ye Chen felt that the strength in his body had increased by one percent of the original. He needed to increase it by at least three hundred percent to reach the second level of strength. According to normal practice, it would take about a year.
In the early morning, the sun shines from the horizon.
Ye Chen got off the bed, stretched his legs which were numb from sitting cross-legged, and then got out of bed to have breakfast. His breakfast was a heart, which was some kind of monster. It was fried to medium-rare and cut into pieces like a steak.
Dongdong~~
There was a knock on the door.
Ye Chen stood up from the dining table, walked over and opened the door, and saw a brown robe blocking his view. Then a silver bell-like laughter sounded from behind the robe, saying with a smile: "My cooking skills are not bad, right?"
The robe was put down, revealing Murong Xue's beautiful face with a hint of mischief.
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It's so early, have you had breakfast?"
"I ate it early." Murong Xue didn't care. She handed the robe to Ye Chen and asked excitedly, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Ye Chen said sincerely. The size of the robe was about the same as his. It was indeed very rare for a rich lady like Murong Xue to sew a piece of animal skin to fit her so well.
"Huh?" Ye Chen suddenly glanced and saw Murong Xue's fingers. The fingers, which were originally white and tender like chopped green onions, now had a few small blood spots on them. He was shocked in his heart. He slightly tightened the hand holding the robe and stared at her blankly for a long time. His eyes gradually softened.
I still remember that when I was a child, only my mother sewed clothes for me. She would sit under the light in the middle of the night, sewing stitches and occasionally slapping mosquitoes flying over my feet.
From then on, it was just the two of them, my sister and I, who depended on each other. They had many friends to talk to, but not a single true friend. As far as I could remember, apart from his parents, no one had been so good to him!
Never!
Obviously, Murong Xue was not born with the ability to sew. During the process of sewing, her little hands were pricked countless times. This stuff was made of metal and was extremely sharp, otherwise it would not be able to penetrate the animal skin.
There was no conspiracy, no exploitation, just pure help. To Ye Chen, Murong Xue, who had not experienced any danger, was like a pure white paper that people could not bear to taint.
