Resurrection from a Desperate Situation
Night, a gray and gray night, a bloody night. The mountain wind howled, and the leaves and weeds rustled. It was as if thousands of troops were moving in the forest, making people shiver.
Ren Cong hid in front of a big tree. Coincidentally, there was a small pit here. With the help of the mountain thorns and weeds, it was very hidden. He lay in the small pit, looking through the grass. He could only vaguely see the shadows of people moving in the courtyard of the villa through the dim moonlight. From time to time, screams could be heard.
Ren Cong shuddered. He remembered his father's instructions and his mother's reluctant gaze when she helped him out of the courtyard wall. He couldn't help but want to rush out several times and return to the villa to help his parents kill the bad guys.
However, when he thought of his father's gaze when he instructed him, he calmed down again. When he heard the clanging sounds of swords and knives in the courtyard and the screams, a sense of loneliness and loss ran through his entire brain. He, who had never left his parents, felt a little afraid.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang. The explosion shook the mountains and the earth. The leaves in the forest rustled and fell to the ground. A familiar figure fell. A white-bearded man wearing a bamboo hat rushed forward and stabbed down with his sword. After a while, another figure flew over and helped the fallen person up. A moment later, the white-bearded man wearing a bamboo hat appeared from behind the rockery and rushed forward to fight with the newcomer. Then, a black shadow shot out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
"Ah! Father, Mother, are you alright?”
Ren Cong cried out in shock.
"Big Tiger, there seems to be a voice!"
a person with a northeastern accent said.
"Erhu, don't scare yourself. There's no sound.”
Da Hu replied.
"Let's search. We, the Ten Tigers of Manchuria, each took 100,000 taels of silver from others, so we have to face them. We can't be careless!”
Er Hu said seriously.
"Alright then! Let's take a look around!"
Da Hu replied.
At this moment, the shouting and killing in the villa had stopped. A voice shouted
"Everyone, move out and search the forest behind carefully. Don't let that kid escape!”
"Da Hu, Er Hu, is there any movement? Keep your ears up and your eyes wide open. A child is missing.”
"Got it, Third Brother."
Da Hu replied loudly.
At the foot of the mountain far away, torches were flickering as a large group of people searched the mountain. Ren Cong leaped up to the top of the tree and used his extraordinary lightness skill to dash up the mountain.
"Not good! A black shadow flew onto a branch and ran up the mountain!”
Da Hu shouted.
The white-bearded old man led the eight tigers over when he heard the shout. They chased in the direction the tiger pointed.
Ren Cong came to the side of the mountain. In front of him was a bottomless abyss with no way to escape. In desperation, Ren Cong could only run along the cliff to a higher place. Little Ren Cong relied on his extraordinary lightness skill to escape for who knows how long and how far? He relied on the buoyancy of the branches and leaves to leap forward without stopping.
"Brat, you have nowhere to run. Stop obediently and hand over the treasure map your father gave you.”
The white-bearded old man shouted from behind.
Ren Cong saw that the white-bearded old man had caught up to him. He was also extremely tired, so he simply jumped to the ground and stood at the edge of the cliff to regulate his breathing.
"Old freak, I don't know what you're talking about. My father didn't give me anything, so just give up.”
Ren Cong cursed.
"You're still young, so you should cherish your life. Your parents are no longer alive, so you'd better come back with me. I'll send you back to your Uncle Wei and let him raise you. You're innocent. I won't hurt you, good child.”
The white-bearded old man said as he approached Ren Cong.
"Don't come over! If you go any further, I'll jump down!"
Ren Cong threatened.
The white-bearded old man could only stand still and helplessly spread out his hands.
"Don't you want to avenge your parents? Come and follow me obediently!”
"Look at the person behind you. He's holding a big knife and looking at me so fiercely. How would I dare to come over?”
Ren Cong said while trembling.
The white-bearded old man turned his head and looked back. Suddenly, he felt a cold wind blow at him. The white-bearded old man made a sharp turn on the spot. He held two bamboo leaf darts in his mouth and looked at Ren Cong hatefully. Ren Cong's T-shaped dart still failed to escape from his thigh.
"I think you've lived enough!"
The white-bearded old man said as he lowered his head and pulled out the bamboo leaf dart on his thigh.
Ren Cong was playing with the pine branches on his head proudly. He happened to grab a pine cone. The moment the white-bearded old man took out the bamboo leaf dart and raised his head. Ren Cong waved his hand, and the pine cone struck the white-bearded old man's forehead like lightning, immediately forming a large lump. The white-bearded old man did not put Ren Cong in his eyes at all. He only wanted to cheat him of what he wanted. He didn't expect to suffer a loss from Ren Cong and lose face in front of the ten tigers. He immediately flew into a rage. Just as he was about to flare up, he thought about it and decided to put the overall situation first. He would deal with this little rabbit after he got the treasure map.
"Is it fun? Old monster, this is a small gift from this young master. Enjoy it slowly. Hahaha…!"
Ren Cong clapped his little hands and laughed as he spoke. He was so happy that he jumped up high and forgot that he was standing at the edge of the cliff. The white-bearded old man rushed forward but failed to catch Ren Cong. Ren Cong fell into this bottomless valley. At this moment, the sky was already bright.
"You're the one who asked for it. Don't blame me, ha! Hah! Haha! The heavens should kill you! Ren Xiaotian!"
The white-bearded old man laughed wildly.
Ren Cong was so happy that he jumped high and accidentally fell from the cliff into the deep valley! He fell rapidly.
"Child, why don't you use your qinggong to move up and down?”
Her father's voice sounded in her ear.
Good Ren Cong immediately raised his qi and rushed up. Although he fell far away, he rose close. However, he managed to avoid the impact of the rapid fall. After more than ten rounds, Ren Cong was exhausted. At the critical moment, Ren Cong suddenly found a few vines on the right rock wall climbing to a tree trunk growing in the crack of the stone. Ren Cong used all his strength to float towards the rattan. He grabbed the vine firmly and landed on the tree trunk. Finally, he was able to avoid a disaster and save his life.
Ren Cong composed himself and looked around. The canyon was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. Above him was the blue sky, and the valley was covered in fog. He had already fallen halfway up the mountain. If he wanted to go up, it was absolutely impossible with the current Ren Cong. Even his father, Ren Xiaotian, was unlikely to do so. He continued to check the right side of the rock wall and found that there seemed to be a small cave more than a hundred feet away.
"Good! I'll rest for a while and try to settle down in this cave for the time being before making plans!”
Ren Cong calculated in his heart.
Ren Cong rested for a moment and recovered his strength. His desire to survive boosted his spirit. He hung a vine on a tree trunk close to the rock wall, and cut off another thin vine with the Lone Sword Blade, wrapping it around his waist. He grabbed the rattan tail hanging on the tree trunk and flew to another tree on the right side of the stone wall. Success! Ren Cong grabbed the tree trunk and untied the rattan at his waist. He tied it to the tree trunk and grabbed the end of the rattan before flying towards the cave entrance again. Unfortunately, he was too far away and did not fall into the hole. His body hit the bottom of the hole heavily, and his skin was bruised and his eyes swollen. He cried out in pain. cried out and bounced back.
He was already a little muddled from the impact, almost slipping off the rattan and falling down again! Ren Cong endured the intense pain as he gripped the tree trunk tightly with both hands. He leaped onto the tree trunk and hugged it tightly with both hands to rest.
This shock was no small matter! He had just survived a calamity, and now he almost fell. It was indeed difficult for him, who was still young, to bear it.
He was already exhausted. He quietly lay on the tree trunk and regulated his strength. After a while, he slowly straightened his body, reached out to grab the vines beside him, and cut off a few with his sword. Then, they were connected together to form a long rope. One end was firmly tied to the tree trunk, and the other end was tied to his chest as a safety rope.
After the previous lesson, he had learned his lesson and no longer dared to take risks.
Ren Cong grabbed the end of the other vine, took a deep breath, and threw it toward the hole. When he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, he used all his strength to raise his qi and jump up, flying into the cave. He had succeeded. He lay on the cold floor, unable to get up again.
It wasn't because he was injured, nor was it because he was physically exhausted. It was because he had relaxed after surviving a calamity, making him unable to move. He lay on the cold floor and fell asleep unknowingly.
"Cong 'er, wake up! You'll catch a cold on such a cold floor. Don't catch a cold! It's all up to you to avenge my parents!"
His mother came to Ren Cong's side and shook him hard. Ren Cong opened his eyes and saw his father sitting beside him, looking at him kindly.
"Dad, are you okay? Where's Mother?"
His father stroked his head and said,"
"Your mother was killed by a bad person. Don't forget the little burden I gave you! You can't sleep like this. You'll catch a cold. Father and Mother aren't by your side, so you have to live bravely. You have to practice hard and study hard!"
Ren Cong threw himself into his father's arms, but he missed. His father's figure slowly disappeared.
He shouted anxiously,
"Daddy, don't go!"
She suddenly woke up and realized that it was a dream.
Ren Cong slowly stood up and stretched his body. He was fine. Then, he reached into the pitch-black hole.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt that the rocks in front of him were blurry, and the more he walked, the brighter they became. He saw a spacious underground hall in front of him, with many strange stone pillars that were emitting a bright white light. Some were hanging upside down on the top of the rock, while others were connected to the top of the rock from the ground. There were all kinds of flowers and there were many kinds of flowers. It was magnificent and beautiful, as if they had arrived in a fairyland.
He came to the left corner of the underground hall and saw the white light shining inside, as if it was daytime. The light shone from inside.
Ren Cong walked inside curiously. Suddenly, two big monsters jumped out from the side cave and blocked the middle of the cave. Each monster had two large eyes the size of a small bowl, which looked like lanterns and were glowing green. Its head was flat, and it had a mouth that was bigger than a large bucket. It had a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a palm-sized tongue that was forked in front of it extended out of the mouth for more than a foot. It was covered in disgusting and numbing little bumps, and it was twenty feet long from head to toe. Its two thick front legs stood upright, and it lay in the cave with its head raised.
Ren Cong exclaimed and took a few steps back. Seeing that the monster did not attack him, he knelt on the ground with a thud and bowed three times to the monster.
"Senior Gods, Ren Cong is in trouble here and is borrowing your land to temporarily avoid disaster.”
Then, he bowed three more times. Strangely enough, the two ugly monsters actually closed their huge mouths and crawled back into the hole on the side.
Ren Cong mustered up his courage and walked in. He saw a small cave hall that was about five feet long and five feet wide. The four corners of the cave were made of crystal-like stalactites that were carved into a platform the size of a foot basin. On each of the platforms was a spherical bead the size of a goose egg. The light was emitted from these four spherical beads.
"Ah! This was probably the luminous pearl that the adults were talking about!”
Ren Cong thought to himself.
There was a stone door on each of the three sides of the stone hall. Ren Cong pushed open the stone door on the left. Shimmering golden light shot out from the stone house, causing him to be unable to open his eyes. It took him a while to get used to it. There was a natural crystal lamp hanging in the middle of the hut, and three luminous pearls were distributed on top of it, illuminating the hut. The gold bricks were neatly piled up in a corner of the stone house, and fifteen large wooden boxes were neatly placed in the room. Ren Cong opened the lid of the box, and the stone house was instantly filled with colorful lights. The box was filled with all kinds of jewelry and jade ornaments.
Ren Cong walked from the stone house to the stone door on the right side of the stone hall. He pushed open the stone door and saw that there were also three luminous pearls the size of duck eggs hanging on the roof of the stone house, illuminating the stone house. There was a large stone bed with a gorgeous bedding. The bed was pressed by hand and covered with a thick and soft goose feather mattress. The cushion was made of silk, making it extremely comfortable to sleep on. On one side of the wall were all kinds of gorgeous clothes and pants, and there were all kinds of daily necessities inside. There was a small copper bell on the stone wall at the head of the bed. A thin rope stretched out from a small hole in the stone wall and tied to the copper bell. Ren Cong stretched out his hand and pulled the silk rope. The small copper bell rang.
Ren Cong left the stone house and came to the stone door in front of the stone hall. He pushed open the stone door and saw a corridor that was more than ten feet long. He walked along the corridor and entered a snow-white, huge stone hall.
The moment Ren Cong entered the hall, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. A white-haired old man with a silver beard was sitting on a golden bunk. He leaned against the stone wall, his face sallow and motionless.
Ren Cong composed himself and mustered his courage to shout a few times,"
"Senior, senior…!"
Seeing no movement, he slowly walked forward to take a closer look. It turned out to be a dried corpse.
Ren Cong immediately knelt in front of the old man and kowtowed three times. He said,"
"Senior, this junior has disturbed you. Please rest in peace!”
With a crack, the stone slab where he was kowtowing bounced open, revealing a small rectangular refined wooden box. Ren Cong carefully opened the wooden box and saw a yellow silk cloth on it.
"Consider yourself fated. You've already kowtowed to me three times, so you're my disciple. After calling me master three times, take out the book below.”
"Master! Master! Master!"
Ren Cong called him master three times and took out a sheepskin book. He flipped to the first page.
"Ah! Are you hungry? Open the small door on the right and drink a bowl of water from the pool!”
At this moment, Ren Cong felt his stomach growling. He was really starving. He hurriedly pushed open the small stone door on the right, and a gust of cold air rushed towards him. Ren Cong took a look and saw that the stone house was filled with transparent ice bricks. There were all kinds of frozen cooked meat, dried vegetables, and fresh onions. It turned out that this was a cold storage room filled with all kinds of edible items. It was enough for you to eat for a lifetime.
Ren Cong picked up the wooden bowl beside the pool and scooped up a bowl of water. This wasn't water at all. It was just broken ice cubes, but they were yellow.
Ren Cong took the wooden bowl filled with crushed ice and left the igloos. He placed it on the ground and rested for a while. The ice melted into yellow ginseng water. Ren Cong drank it all in one go, and he instantly felt refreshed and energetic.
After Ren Cong finished drinking the sugar water, he continued to sit in front of the master and flipped to the second page."
"Disciple, from now on, you will soak in a bucket of water in the first pool in the stone house on the left every day. After that, he soaked in a bucket of water in the second pool. Finally, he soaked in a bucket of water in the third pool. Then, they entered the inner hall and followed the instructions on the stone tablet. Then, he practiced three buckets of water according to the picture on the stone wall and the secret. Remember, don't be lazy! This is what I've learned in my life! The first three Master Chi didn't manage to master it completely before passing away. I hope that you can complete Master's last wish and master all the martial arts here. I hope that you can pass on what I have learned in my life.
The first pool can make you fearless of all poisons; The second pool can help you become transparent and become invisible. The third pool could make your muscles and bones as soft as water, allowing you to freely contract, breathe, and walk freely in the water.
You will have a bowl of water from the pool in the igloos for breakfast every day. After you finish practicing, you can choose any food you want in the igloos. I believe that you are a smart person and will know how to make arrangements for your life. Five to eight years from now, you will be able to learn from your teacher and do what you want. Remember, don't kill the innocent. Read the third page after you've learned it. Remember that! Good disciple!"
After Ren Cong finished reading, he closed the sheepskin book and placed it in the wooden box. He put it back in its original state and closed the stone tablet. He came to the stone door on the left side of the hall, but he could not push it open.
Ren Cong looked at the stone door carefully and found nothing unusual. He looked to the left of the stone door, but there was nothing special. There were only two natural crystal pillars, one tall and one short, standing beside the stone wall.
Ren Cong went over to touch the short pillar and felt that there was a small bowl-sized pillar ball at the top of the pillar. He pushed the ball hard, but nothing happened.
Ren Cong moved a square stone and placed it beside the pillar. He stood on it and rotated it with his hands. It seemed to be a little loose. After about a pack of cigarettes, the more he shook it, the looser it became. Then, he tried to turn left and right. When he turned 45 degrees to the right, he heard a cracking sound coming from inside the stone door.
Ren Cong returned to the stone door and pushed it open.
"Ah!" It was a huge natural stone hall. There were four fist-sized luminous pearls in the middle of the hall, and eight egg-sized luminous pearls were evenly distributed around the hall, illuminating the entire hall. There were three large pools on the right side.
The water in the first pool was the color of green beans and emitted a faint green smoke. The second pool was transparent and was emitting a faint white mist. The water in the third pool was orange-yellow in color and was emitting a faint yellow steam. There was a stone tablet beside each pool, and on the stone tablet was a soaking technique.
There was a transparent crystal stone bucket not far from the third pool, and a small stream of warm water that was emitting steam came from the stone crack on the roof of the hall. The temperature of the water was about 40 degrees.
The stone crystal bucket was placed on a round ball. When the water was filled, it would naturally tilt and empty out. Then, it would bounce back to its original state and continue to hold the water. This was a clever move. Every time the water was poured out, it would press down a column with 24 slots. The string tied to the pillar was connected to the copper bells of each house. Every time a slot was pressed, the copper bell would ring once, which was the time for a bucket of water, which was two hours. The more cards he pressed down, the longer it would take for him to return to his original position, so the bell rang longer and longer each time. This was really a meticulous design!
On the right side of the hall, there were three round stone stools with a diameter of three feet. In front of each stone stool, there was a five-foot-tall stone slab. On it was engraved the cultivation method of meditation.
On the right side and the back of the stone wall, there were pictures of various martial arts movements and text introductions.
In the middle was a spacious training ground. There were also strange-shaped natural crystal pillars that were emitting white light.
Ren Cong returned to the hall in the middle after he finished touring the cave abode. He looked around the round shop where his master was sitting. There was a fist-sized crystal on the stone wall, which was especially bright. He went forward and tried to press down. Seeing that the round bed had sunk a little, he continued to press down. The master slowly sank along with the round bed he was sitting on until it was about ten feet deep. With a crack, a stone slab popped out and sealed the entrance of the cave. There was almost no trace of it.
Ren Cong kowtowed three times towards his master's cave. Then, he entered the bedroom and lay on the soft bed. After resting for a while, he turned around and untied the bag on his body. He took out the small cloth bag that his father had given him and opened it. There was a secret manual of the Lone Sword and a sheepskin landscape painting. This was probably the treasure map that the white-bearded old man had mentioned. There were also bank accounts of each bank, about 50 million taels, 20 gold bars, and a handwritten letter from his father.
"Cong 'er, if your parents aren't by your side, you have to study hard and be more careful in everything. The Jianghu is dangerous and unpredictable. Don't trust others easily. This is the entire family business of our ancestors. It depends on you to carry it forward. Remember! -- Your parents left a message."
After Ren Cong finished reading the letter, he clenched his fists with tears in his eyes and said,"
"Father, mother, don't cry. I will definitely find the enemies who harmed you and kill them with my own hands. Revenge for Father and Mother, and carry forward your career!”
Ren Cong had inherited his parents 'good points. He was good-looking and intelligent. He started practicing martial arts and reading at the age of three. Although he was only eight years old, he had already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics. He was proficient in all kinds of martial arts, including sabers, swords, clubs, and so on. His basic skills were solid, and his lightness skill was extraordinary. The Lone Sword Saber passed down in his family had reached 60% refinement. It was a special weapon that was like a sword but not a sword, like a saber but not a saber. It could kill enemies far away and cut enemies close at the same time. His fist and foot skills were good, but his internal energy was lacking. For an eight-year-old child, he was already a rare genius.
Ren Cong took off his coat and went to the waterhole next to the timer in the training hall to take a comfortable warm bath. After taking a shower, she returned to the bedroom, got into bed, and slept soundly under the soft blanket. She slept so soundly. It was only when the long copper bell rang that Ren Cong got up from the bed.
He walked out of the bedroom naked and came to the living room. He went to the ice room and took a bowl of sugar water to melt before drinking it. Then, he excitedly began the first day of training.
He first came to the first pool and jumped into the green pool naked. He looked at the instructions on the stone tablet:
"Just soak in the pool and relax your entire body.”
Ren Cong closed his eyes and relaxed. He felt like ants were crawling all over his body, but he slowly got used to it…
With a splash, the stone bucket fell to the ground. The crisp sound of a copper bell rang in the cave hall. The time for a bucket of water was up.
Ren Cong climbed up and jumped into the pool. He entered the second transparent pool and soaked in it. He saw the stone tablet beside the pool write:
"Relax your whole body and think that the water is transparent until you have enough time.”
Ren Cong closed his eyes and thought to himself that the water was transparent. He felt cool all over his body while soaking in it quietly…
"Crash!""Ring!" The stone bucket fell to the ground. The sound of water and the sound of a copper bell rang out. It was time for a bucket of water again.
Ren Cong climbed up and jumped into the pool. He jumped into the third orange pool and saw the stone tablet beside the pool write:
" Close your eyes and relax your entire body. Imagine your body as soft as water, extending and recovering infinitely.”
As he soaked in the water, he felt his entire body float, as if he was in Mount Yunwu, his muscles and bones were being pulled…
"Crash!""Ring!" The stone bucket fell to the ground. The sound of water and the sound of a copper bell rang out. The time for a bucket of water was up.
Ren Cong got up and jumped onto the edge of the pool. He shook the water off his body and went to the first round bed on the right. He sat cross-legged. The stone tablet in front of him wrote:
"Close your eyes, sit up straight, cross your legs, and raise your hands in front of your chest with your palms facing inward.”
Ren Cong practiced with a calm mind, feeling as if he was floating in the air…
"Crash!""Ring!" The stone bucket fell to the ground. The sound of water and the sound of a copper bell rang. The bucket of water was up.
Ren Cong sat on the second round bunk and sat cross-legged. The stone tablet in front of him wrote:
"The posture is the same as before, but the palm is facing down and the whole body is relaxed. The heart will move from the ends of the ten fingers of both hands, through the upper limbs of the fingers, through the chest to the dantian, and then through the lower limbs to the Yongquan point of both feet. Then, he returned the way he came. He didn't need to use any strength. It was just a thought. He repeated the process.”
In the beginning, Ren Cong couldn't focus his thoughts on the route, but after many repetitions, he got into character. He practiced repeatedly…
"Crash!""Ring!" The stone bucket fell to the ground. The sound of water and the sound of a copper bell rang out. The time for a bucket of water was up.
Ren Cong then sat on the third round bunk and saw the words written on the stone tablet in front:
"The posture is the same. From the ten fingers of both hands and the ten toes of both feet, Qi is channeled into the dantian at the same time. Then, he would circulate his Qi from his dantian to the tips of his fingers for the first cycle. Then, he channeled Qi into his dantian from the tips of his ten fingers and ten toes. After that, the second cycle was to circulate the Qi from the dantian to the tips of the ten toes on both feet. He practiced repeatedly until the time was up. Remember, use your thoughts, don't use force!”
Ren Cong began to practice according to this method. In the beginning, it was very difficult to circulate Qi from the tips of his fingers and toes to his dantian at the same time. However, he still quickly grasped the technique and slowly began to circulate his qi freely. He practiced over and over again until he heard the sound of pouring water and the sound of copper bells. He then stood up and walked to the mural.
Ren Cong practiced according to the moves on the murals.
The first move,'Finger to Sword'
The second move,"Turning Palm into Saber".
The third move, Violent Fist Flying Drop;
The fourth move," Sweep the Earth "
The fifth move, Five Thunder Empowerment;
The sixth move, Twisting Heaven and Earth…to the twentieth move, Mountain-toppling Sea.
Then, he practiced saber, sword, and staff techniques…one by one. Fortunately, Ren Cong had an excellent foundation in all kinds of fist techniques and weapons. His basic skills were solid. He was able to use both Leaping and Flying Diversion with ease, but the moves were different and his internal strength was insufficient, so he could not achieve the effect required on the stone wall.
There was no sunlight in the stone house, only the snow-white light emitted by the night pearl. There was no one to talk to him, nor was there the screams and noise of the insects. It was so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat. It was as if he had arrived in another world, a world that was isolated from the world.
Ren Cong lay quietly on the bed, his eyes staring at the smooth stone roof. The scenes of the tragedy that happened in the villa kept appearing in his mind. From the words of the white-bearded old man, he knew that his parents and uncles in the villa were all dead. His heart was extremely sad, and hot tears rolled down. He almost cried out loud. However, he did not cry. His father had taught him since he was young: " A man bleeds but does not cry."
But how could he not cry at this moment! After all, she was only eight years old. At such a young age, he endured his grief and wiped his tears. He swore to avenge his parents and uncles who had died tragically. No matter what was done to those demons who killed their loved ones, it was only right to treat them. No matter what method was used to punish them, it would not be too much…!
Could it be that his relatives were all killed? Did anyone manage to escape? Did anyone manage to survive? He did not know…As he thought about it, he slowly fell asleep.
