Chapter 29: Watershed! Seeking collection, fresh flowers
Three days later, Lin Feng re-entered Blackstone Town, and the gruesome scene before his eyes still made his heart tremble.
The once quiet town is gone, leaving only a piece of broken walls. One by one, the charred remains are scattered throughout the town, and the air still lingers with the smell of burnt offerings.
Those people Lin Feng and Zhao Xue all knew, now they have all become corpses.
Looking at the tragic scene in front of her, Zhao Xue's face turned pale and she tightly grasped Lin Feng's hand. Lin Feng's small face was also tense, silent and speechless.
They soon arrived at the location of the small ironwork shop. The Lin family's ironwork shop had also been burned down by the big fire, and it had become a white land. However, the tools for forging were left behind, all of which were metal objects that would not be destroyed by the big fire.
And in the ruins, Lin Feng also found a suit of heavy armor!
The black heavy armor scattered with cold awns, densely covered with sinister sharp thorns, emitting a bloody aura. Although it was in the ruins, it was undiminished that one stock of soaring killing energy!
This set of armor belongs to Lin Heng, the former centurion of the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry!
The Hengdao gang slaughtered the Black Stone Town, but they were intimidated by Lin Heng's reputation and didn't dare to enter the Lin family's ironwork shop. So this set of armor was preserved intact. As for the fire in the Lin family's house, it was ignited by the large fire from the surrounding houses.
In this region, Lin Heng is a legendary existence. Although he is not here, the mountain bandits do not dare to take his armor.
Lin Feng reached out and picked up the heavy armor, feeling extremely heavy. This set of battle armor weighed absolutely over a thousand catties! Such a heavy suit of armor, it was unknown what kind of material it was made of.
Lin Feng put the heavy armor into the jade pendant space, and then collected the forging hammer and other items. After that, he took Zhao Xue out of the blacksmith shop again.
The two of them arrived at the location of Zhao Xue's small hotel again, Lin Feng slipped into the cellar, put a few jars of good wine in the Jade Pendant space, and then came out.
"Lin Feng, brother." Zhao Xue finally couldn't help but be curious and asked in a soft voice, "The war armor of Lin Da Shu, and these wines, where did you put them? How can they disappear like magic, gone in the blink of an eye?"
"You'll know later," Lin Feng said with a smile.
It wasn't that he intentionally concealed it, but Zhao Xue had never heard of such a thing as a spatial container, and explaining it would be too much trouble.
"Oh!" Zhao Xue nodded and didn't ask again.
"Lin Feng, they..." Zhao Xue looked at those charred bodies, a look of unbearable pain on her small face.
"They were all fellow villagers of Heishi Town, let them rest in peace!" Lin Feng sighed softly.
Although many people here have ridiculed him, and some have even bullied him, after all, they are all from Heishi Town. They died so miserably, Lin Feng's heart didn't feel good either.
……
Lin Feng dug a huge pit in the woods outside the town, then moved all the corpses out of Blackstone Town and buried them in the pit. Soon, a massive tomb appeared outside the ruins of Blackstone Town.
It's been a long time since I finished this thing.
"Lin Feng brother, where are we going now?" Zhao Xue asked.
"Let me take you to find your Uncle Lin!" said Lin Feng. "My father doesn't even know about this matter yet!"
"Uh-huh." Zhao Xue nodded obediently and stretched out her small hand towards Lin Feng.
"Let's go!" Lin Feng naturally pulled Zhao Xue's hand and turned back to take a look at Heishi Town, then headed towards the distant mountains.
……
In the midst of a dense thicket, a handsome young man walked slowly with a tender green-clad maiden. Both their faces wore a look of sorrow.
Heishi Town, their hometown, no longer exists!
"Lin Feng, brother." The girl suddenly stopped, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, and softly called out.
"What's wrong?" The young man also stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at the girl with concern.
"You can't walk anymore!" The girl looked at the boy and said pitifully.
Zhao Xue's daily activities were all within a very small area near Heishi Town. Walking in such a mountainous and densely forested place, it was still the first time.
"I'll carry you!" Lin Feng squatted down without hesitation.
"Oh!" Zhao Xue smiled lightly and leaned against Lin Feng's back.
Zhao Xue was very light, and carrying her wasn't a big burden for Lin Feng. After putting Zhao Xue on his back, Lin Feng sped up, running quickly through the mountains.
The matter of Heishi Town, Father Lin Heng was still unaware. Lin Feng was also anxious to report this matter to his father, so the speed had also been raised to the limit.
Zhao Xue hugged Lin Feng's neck, feeling the surging power contained in his not-so-tall body, and a faint flush suddenly appeared on her youthful face.
She felt extremely warm and extremely at ease with him.
"Lin Feng gege..." Zhao Xue whispered softly.
"What's wrong, Zhao Xue?" Lin Feng replied.
"Will... you always take care of me?" Zhao Xue asked softly.
"Of course. If I don't take care of you, who will?" Lin Feng said without hesitation.
"Then I can follow you forever from now on?" Zhao Xue said again.
"Forever? How can that be?" Lin Feng said, "You're a girl, girls grow up and are supposed to get married."
"But I don't want to leave you and Uncle Lin, or else I'll just marry you!" Zhao Xue's voice trembled slightly, her small face suddenly turning red.
"Silly girl, what are you talking nonsense? You're my sister!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Zhao Xue pouted in dissatisfaction.
……
Just after noon, Lin Feng brought Zhao Xue back to the mountain valley where the stone house was located.
"Uncle Lin!" Zhao Xue jumped down from Lin Feng's body and stood on the stone platform, calling out softly.
"There's no need to shout, my father hasn't come back yet." Lin Feng said.
There is no sign of Lin Heng inside the stone house, apparently he is not here.
"Lin Feng brother, where did Lin uncle go?" Zhao Xue asked.
"My father said he was going to find some spiritual medicine for me, I guess he hasn't found it yet!" Lin Feng said as he walked into the stone house and put down the few jars of good wine inside. "Let's just wait for him here! He'll definitely come back."
"Uh-huh!" Zhao Xue replied obediently.
"Zhao Xue, I'm really too tired, need to rest for a while. You should rest too! There are many ferocious beasts around here, don't run around randomly." Lin Feng said, walking into the stone house, and fell onto a wide bluestone slab that served as a bed, immediately falling into a deep sleep.
He had been awake for three days and nights, rushing about everywhere, he was really too tired.
Zhao Xue also hadn't slept for three days, but at this time she was wide awake. Standing on the stone platform, she curiously looked around her surroundings before walking into the stone house and sitting down next to Lin Feng.
Looking at Lin Feng's handsome eyebrows and eyes in deep sleep, Zhao Xue's tender little face suddenly turned red, her bright big eyes staring at Lin Feng, carefully sizing him up.
"Lin Feng gege... really looks good!" Zhao Xue said in a low voice.
"You don't want me to marry you, but I insist on marrying you!"
"If you don't agree, I'll go tell Uncle Lin, humph!"
Looking at the young man in her dream, Zhao Xue's face showed a slightly shy smile, and she gently lowered her head. Her moist cherry lips lightly touched Lin Feng's lips like a dragonfly touching water, then parted like lightning.
Lin Feng was completely unaware, smacked his lips, turned over and continued sleeping.
"Hehe!" Zhao Xue smiled slightly, a hint of complacency appearing on her pretty face.
……
"Hmm!" Lin Feng woke up to find it was already the second day's dawn.
Zhao Xue was already exhausted and was leaning against Lin Feng's chest as he slept soundly.
"Only thinking of myself being tired, I forgot that this girl hasn't rested either!" Lin Feng silently scolded himself for being muddled.
Zhao Xue was still clutching Lin Feng's sleeve in her sleep, as if she feared he would disappear.
"Ah, this little girl!" Lin Feng affectionately and gently scratched Zhao Xue's nose, the little girl furrowed her brow and pouted her small mouth in dissatisfaction.
"Hehe!" Lin Feng smiled lightly, carefully taking off his jacket and covering Zhao Xue's body with it. Zhao Xue still clutched at his sleeve, but didn't notice that he had already left.
Lin Feng looked at the girl in her dreamland and smiled slightly, then walked out of the stone house with big strides.
Early morning is the moment when the heaven and earth's vital energy is most concentrated, it is also the best time to recover one's strength. At this time, practicing Hu Xing Quan has the best effect, such precious time Lin Feng naturally would not waste.
Because Zhao Xue was here, Lin Feng no longer went to find fierce beasts/hand-to-hand combat, but instead practiced the Tiger Form Fist on the stone platform, one move at a time.
With every punch, with every kick, the subtle and mysterious heavenly energy was drawn into Lin Feng's body, slowly changing it. And his strength was also becoming stronger and stronger continuously.
"Regaining strength is indeed much faster than when I first started practicing Tiger Fist!"
"Now my basic strength has already exceeded 1,400 jin, and it won't be long before I reach 2,000 jin, becoming the fourth strongest in Tiger Shape Fist!"
"The fourth heavy fist of Hu Xing Quan is actually my power level from three years ago!"
"I've recovered to the fourth heavy fist of Hu Xing Quan, and for me, the real test has only just begun!"
……
Tiger Fist Fourth Heavy is a watershed!
Before the fourth level of Hu Xing Quan, it is just an accumulation of quantity. After reaching a certain level, continuing to practice Hu Xing Quan can still increase strength.
For example, the first heavy tiger-shaped fist has a lower limit of 200 jin of strength. The second heavy tiger-shaped fist has a lower limit of 500 jin of strength. So, for those who are strong in the first heavy tiger-shaped fist, their strength is between 200 and 500 jin.
Similarly, the second strongest in Huxingquan has a strength of between 500 catties to 1,000 catties. The third strongest in Huxingquan has a strength of between 1,000 catties to 2,000 catties.
The fourth heavy hitter of Hu Xing Quan has a strength of 2,000 catties!
No matter how early or late it takes to reach this level, as long as it is the fourth heavy fist of Hu Xing Quan, it will be a force of 2,000 catties!
After reaching this realm, continuing to practice Hu Xing Quan will no longer absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and one's power will not increase by even a single thread or grain.
Of course, continuing to practice tiger-shaped boxing is not meaningless. What can be improved is the understanding of heaven and earth.
When this realization reaches a certain level, after sudden enlightenment, it becomes a strong fifth-level practitioner of Hu Xing Quan!
This "enlightenment" is indeed a mysterious and abstruse thing. Some people can suddenly enlighten in one morning, while others can never enlighten forever.
The strong ones of the fifth level of Tiger Fist can absorb the heaven and earth's original energy to temper their bodies for a short period of time, further increasing their strength. All strong ones of the fifth level of Tiger Fist have a basic strength of 4,000 jin!
The training before the fourth heavy tiger fist and the training after the fourth heavy tiger fist are two completely different concepts. Lin Xiang is also extremely looking forward to his own performance after reaching the fourth heavy tiger fist.
Due to the existence of Zhuang Lao, Lin Feng lost three precious years. The performance in this half year will directly decide whether he can enter the Xuanji Heavy Cavalry and his position after entering the Xuanji Heavy Cavalry. This is also crucial for Lin Feng.
The height of this first step determines how easy or difficult it is for Lin Feng to get close to Ye Zi, and Lin Feng naturally cares about it very much!
