War had always been cruel. No matter which era it was, people who had lost their homes could only wander about, their lives like duckweed, their lives like grass…
Fu Chen leaned against the roof of the carriage shed and looked at the people dragging their children and staggering as they carried their bags and hurried forward. He could not help but feel sad.
He followed Shaoyu, Fan Zeng, and Xiang Liang back to the small village where the nobles of Chu lived in seclusion. After a short rest, Fan Zeng gave the order to move. There was no panic or impatience. They packed their luggage in an orderly manner and left in an orderly manner. It seemed that they were used to such a life of escape.
Two groups of soldiers, one in front and one behind, escorted these Chu survivors out of the village and headed east.
Fu Chen could not see any fear on their faces, but the deep fatigue in their eyes made Fu Chen feel gloomy. Was this what Great Qin wanted?
Fu Chen was familiar with that period of history, familiar with the deeds of the youth who had argued with Tianming, and even more familiar with the resourceful Fan Zeng. Unfortunately, this was completely different from the history he knew.
With a stone on his head, Floating Dawn was pulled back to reality from his deep thoughts. The two quarreling youths began to throw stones at each other. They did not feel any sadness at the dilapidated villages that kept passing by them. Perhaps they had seen too many of them.
Young people could always become friends in a very short time. Two people who were fighting half a day ago had actually become good friends now. Perhaps friends were a luxury in this era.
"Kid, what are you thinking?" A stone hit his head and it hurt. It was obviously thrown by Shaoyu. He was much stronger than Tianming.
" That's right, that's right." Tianming imitated Shaoyu and threw a fist-sized rock over. Floating Dawn kicked it away and glared at the two of them. He said," Childish." Actually, he had forgotten that he was only fifteen years old, one year older than Shaoyu.
" You're the childish one." Tianming was not convinced and threw another stone over.
Fu Chen sat up, caught the stone that was thrown at him, and threw it to the side. He walked to the edge of the carriage and sat on Tian Ming's body."How far is Mirror Lake Medical Hall?"
" How would I know?" Tianming rolled his eyes and pointed at Shaoyu."Ask him!"
" I didn't ask you." Fu Chen knocked on Tian Ming's head. Tian Ming covered his head and glared at Fu Chen with a pout.
" The earliest we can arrive is the morning of the day after tomorrow," Fan Zeng, who was riding beside the carriage, answered.
" Looks like there's still a long way to go." Fu Chen cupped his hands and thanked Fan Zeng.
"You don't have any martial arts, so why are you so strong?”Shaoyu started asking this question again. It had already been eight times.
" I'm an immortal," Shaoyu and Tianming answered at the same time, and then the two of them burst into laughter.
" Forget it if you don't believe me." Fu Chen wiped his face helplessly and prepared to continue taking a nap.
" I don't believe that Uncle can beat you up so badly that your teeth will fall out." Tianming pouted disdainfully.
" Your uncle is very powerful. It's true that I can't beat him, but it's impossible for him to kill me." Floating Dawn wasn't bragging. In a real fight, his poetic sword was very powerful, but the so-called internal energy was a hard wound. It was easy for the world's number one swordsman to defeat him. He would be seriously injured, but it was unlikely that he would die. After all, his spiritual core wasn't taken away, it was just sealed.
"Tsk, bragging!" Tianming stuck out his tongue and mocked Fu Chen.
" Brother Chen." It was rare for Shaoyu to not address Fu Chen as 'kid'. Fu Chen was very curious. He looked at Shaoyu's serious face and knew what he wanted to do. "Can you teach me?" he asked seriously. I also want to have your strength. That way, I can avenge my father and save the suffering people in the world.”
Fu Chen looked at this youth with a righteous expression and thought for a long time before slowly saying,"Why don't you learn a supreme martial art like Uncle Gai's? Why do you have to make yourself so strong?”
" Swordsmanship and martial arts can only make one person strong, but war is never a matter of one person. Victory on the battlefield is fought with the lives of soldiers," Shaoyu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice,""In the face of absolute power, all techniques and schemes are nothing but a joke.”
" That's right. No matter how powerful a person is, killing a thousand ordinary soldiers is the limit. A general with strength and brains can kill hundreds of enemies." Floating Dawn couldn't help but admire this youth. Perhaps he was born to be a general.
" So, please teach me, Brother Chen." Shaoyu stood up and bowed.
" You don't have to be so polite," Fu Chen smiled and pulled Shaoyu to sit down, continuing,""We're brothers, I can teach you.”
" You were born with great strength, which is a good thing. If you want to become stronger, you have to train yourself,"" You have to learn some of the sect's inner force techniques. You have to learn inner force and let your qi help you strengthen your muscles and bones. On the outside, you have to do some weight-bearing exercises, balance exercises, reaction agility exercises, and hand-foot coordination exercises..."
Fu Chen chattered non-stop. Shaoyu nodded his head without saying a word. It was obvious that he remembered it. The more Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng, who were riding beside him, listened, the more happy they became. The two of them looked at each other. Fan Zeng's eyes clearly showed the pride of a fox stealing a chicken.
Thus, in the army, a violet-clothed youth carried an excessively large iron pot on his back. There was a rope tied to his waist, and one end of the rope was helping a carriage with two youths sitting on it. He ran back and forth in the army.
After a while, it was the violet-clothed youth walking back and forth on the rope pulled out between the two carriages, falling down from time to time.
The next moment, it was this youth standing upside down on the roof of the carriage with a white-robed youth on his feet…
"Hey, kid, why are you so unhappy?”Fu Chen looked at Shaoyu, who was holding a rock with both hands and pulling the carriage, and sat beside Tianming, asking,""You've been like this ever since Shaoyu started training. What's wrong?”
"Brother Chen, am I useless?”Tian Ming raised his head and asked with some grievance.
"How could that be?" Fu Chen patted Tian Ming's head and smiled,"Aren't you practicing with Uncle Gai? You're going to become the successor of the Sword Saint. Why are you so unconfident in yourself?”
" But I don't know anything, and I'm stupid…" Tianming lowered his head as if he was crying."Shaoyu has ideals, and he's stronger than me. Although you didn't say it, I know you have your own ideals. I feel that you are stronger, but I…"
" Tianming..." A deep voice came from the carriage beside him."The strong must protect everything they cherish. To become strong, one must not deny their existence. One must face the fear in one's heart and defeat it!”
"Uncle, you're awake?" Tianming wiped away the tears that flashed in his eyes and jumped into the carriage beside him.
Fu Chen heard Tianming's joyful voice and kept talking about what happened after Ge Nia fainted, about himself, Fu Chen, and Shaoyu defeating Wushuang…
After a long time, Tianming climbed out of the carriage and jumped onto Fu Chen's carriage. He sat beside Fu Chen and his previous gloominess was swept away.
Fu Chen looked at the youth in high spirits and asked,"Tianming, do you have anyone you want to protect?”
" Of course." Tianming wiped his tears and stood up. I want to protect uncle, protect Shaoyu, protect you…"
" Hahaha…" Floating Dawn laughed very happily. He was slowly blending into this world. Someone could treat him as a true friend. He was really, really happy."Go train with Shaoyu."
"Why? "I want to become the Sword Saint's successor…" Before he could finish his sentence, Tianming let out a miserable cry and was kicked off the carriage by Fu Chen…
As night fell, the carriage stopped. The soldiers built a simple protective circle and surrounded everyone in the middle. They lit a fire and began to cook. Two exhausted teenagers sat beside the fire, panting. They did not even have the strength to speak.
" This is just the beginning. You have to get used to it slowly and increase the intensity." Floating Dawn's words made the two youths howl miserably. When the howl ended, a wolf howl sounded, desolate and distant...
Ge Nie sat by the fire and closed his eyes to recuperate. Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang gently looked at the three laughing youths.
"As for inner force cultivation techniques, I've been thinking about them for a long time, but I still can't think of a suitable one for you." Fu Chen then turned to Ge Nia and asked,"Ge Nia?""Uncle Gai, which is the best internal cultivation method to nourish the bones and muscles from the inside?”
Ge Nia opened his eyes, and his voice was calm." The mantra of the Daoist Heavenly Sect."
" Wait for me to find a chance to get it for you." Floating Dawn thought about it and gave Shaoyu a guarantee.
" Ah…" A scream was heard and everyone was shocked. A soldier ran back and reported that the soldiers guarding the perimeter had been bitten by wolves.
Ge Nia slowly said,""Reverse Flow Sand's Ash Wolf King is here."
"What, the Graywolf King?" Xiang Liang was shocked. He stood up and prepared to gather everyone to respond.
" Not tonight. Tonight is just harassment," Ge Nia said in a deep voice."He wants to make us nervous and wait for an opportunity to kill us.”
" Damn it," Shaoyu stood up and walked out. Fu Chen pulled him back and said,""Rest well. No one will die tonight. Only someone will be injured. He wants to tire us out and make us feel fear. I think it will be tomorrow night."
Fan Zeng stood up and said,""I'll have the soldiers form groups of three and take turns to guard the night in case the wolves attack.”
" No need. Everyone, sleep well. I have an idea." Floating Dawn stood up and took out a bamboo tube from his bag. He called a soldier over and asked him to scatter the liquid in the bamboo tube.
"What's that?" Tianming asked curiously.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fu Chen smiled and said,"Tiger urine."
Seeing that everyone was silent and deep in thought, Fu Chen added,"Some time ago, I was sleeping in the forest, and there were always wild beasts disturbing me. It was very annoying, so I caught a tiger and took some urine. Every night before I went to bed, I sprinkled some around so that other wild beasts would not dare to approach.”
"Why?" Fan Zeng and Ge Nie were the first to understand. Xiang Liang and Shaoyu also understood after thinking for a while. Only Tianming did not understand.
" Idiot, it's the smell. Wolves don't dare to come close when they smell the tiger's scent," Shaoyu explained for Floating Dawn.
" I still don't quite understand." Tianming pouted."The tiger skin in your bag belongs to the tiger you caught?”
" Of course, it's very warm when you sleep." Floating Dawn blinked at Tianming.
Sure enough, in the following time, only wolf howls could be heard, but there was no wolf attack. Everyone gathered around the bonfire and chatted after eating. This was perhaps the most relaxing moment after a hard day.
