Lonely Swordsman - C40
During this period of time, Chen Jing spent most of his time cultivating in the cave, and even after a long time, he would often take one to two days to start. After that, Chen Jing found the trick: After cultivating outside for two or three days, the effect of training in the water was the most obvious, and the first two hours were the best, then it would be greatly reduced. After discussing with Ouyang Ziyun and the others, they came to the conclusion that it was time to train and accumulate energy outside, before channeling it into the bones. However, the energy accumulated in two to three days was only enough for two hours underwater.
Therefore, Chen Jing cultivated outside for three days, then went into the water to cultivate for another two hours before returning to the shore to train for another three days …
In truth, Zhang Xiang was originally in closed-door training, but the amount he had accumulated was not enough. Zhang Xiang had been in closed door training for half a month without any results, and with the addition of the fact that he had just found his daughter, Zhang Xiang decided to not go into closed-door training for the time being.
When Chen Jing arrived at Zhang Xiang’s house, a woman in her thirties opened the door. Originally, when Zhang Xiang lived alone, he felt that it was inconvenient to have a nanny, so he only asked for an hour to clean the room. But now that his daughter had come back, he naturally agreed to have a nanny.
Zi Xin, who was reading a book on the sofa, stood up in surprise when she saw that it was Chen Jing. Although he liked it, he didn’t dare let Chen Jing know about it. So when he stood up, he didn’t know what to say.
“B-Brother Chen Jing, wh-why are you here?” Originally, Chen Jing wanted her to call him uncle, but this little girl wanted to call him big brother no matter what.
“Oh, Xin’er, is your dad home?” Chen Jing had always believed that Zi Xin was one of his juniors, so he followed Zhang Xiang to call Xin Er.
“No, he’s not here. I’ll go call him for you.”
“No, I’m not looking for him, I’m looking for you!”
“Looking for me?” Zi Xin was so surprised that her mouth gaped wide open. She couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, “He came for me. He really came for me. Don’t tell me …” Thinking of this, Zi Xin’s two cheeks instantly flushed red. What should he do? “What should we do?” Although he had imagined this many times, now that it had actually happened, he had completely forgotten about the original scene.
“It’s like this, Xin’er, Uncle Chen Jing is here today to help you open your meridians.” How could Chen Jing know what she was thinking? However, after seeing how cute Zi Xin’s face was, he thought to himself, “This little girl is really a beauty that will bring calamity to her nation. Who knows who will get the better of her in the future?” Of course, Chen Jing would never even dream about him. After all, Zi Xin was only two years older than Lan Lan.
“Oh.” So that’s how it was! The little girl was a little disappointed, but she soon understood, “That’s right, how could he possibly have come because of his own thoughts?” [What happened to me just now? How can you think that? Thinking of this, Zi Xin’s face turned even redder.
“Then let’s start now! Xin Er, first sit cross-legged on the carpet, put your hands flat, palm up… “Summer came early this year. It has been very hot since the beginning of May.” Today, Zixin wore a tight white t-shirt with a pair of super short jeans. The burning smell of her youth was so strong that even Chen Jing couldn’t keep his cool.
After a while, Chen Jing calmed himself down and sat cross-legged across Zi Xin. He said, “Alright, Xin’er, first confirm that your Dantian is about three inches below your navel. Touch it with your hand. Right, that’s it. Then he would follow his uncle’s instructions: Close your eyes, keep your mind empty, and don’t think about anything. After that, they would sink into the dantian. That is, they would imagine themselves feeling a hot spot in the dantian. ” At this point, Chen Jing used his spiritual sense to push away the dots of light from Zixin’s dantian and asked, “Do you feel it?”
However, Chen Jing didn’t know that Zi Xin’s fawn was currently jumping around wildly. He muttered nervously in his heart, “Ah! He’s so close to me, I can even smell his scent. What should I do?” What should he do? I’m going to die! I’m going to die! ” Thus, it was naturally impossible for him to feel his dantian.
Chen Jing naturally didn’t know what Zi Xin was thinking. He thought it was the first time Zi Xin was nervous, so he reached out his hand to touch Zi Xin’s head. “Xin Er, don’t be nervous. It’s alright.” Listen to me: take a deep breath and exhale slowly. “Okay, one more time …”
After a long time, Zi Xin’s heart finally calmed down. Luckily, Chen Jing’s consciousness was now completely different from before. In the end, after spending most of the afternoon, he finally managed to open up Zixin’s Governing and Governing Meridians. Chen Jing felt that it was even more difficult than opening Xiao Qian’s meridians.
Actually, Zi Xin’s innate talent should be much better than Xiao Qian’s. It’s just that she had an aside, which was why it was so difficult. Chen Jing didn’t know that, but he thought Zi Xin’s innate talent was inferior to Xiao Qian’s.
After running a cycle of Zixin’s cultivation, Chen Jing took out a fist-sized black and white bead each, letting Zixin test their attributes. To be honest, Chen Jing didn’t understand the reason. He was especially close to Zixin, perhaps because he felt sorry for her on the day of the judgement? Or perhaps Zixin, You Cai and Lu Min had risked their lives that day to search for him at the Eagle Beak Lake? Of course, it could also just be because Zi Xin was Zhang Xiang’s daughter. After all, Zi Xin was only two years older than Lan Lan, like his own daughter. If he didn’t treat her well, who would?
Thinking of this, Chen Jing couldn’t help but think of his daughter from Canada. What was going on now? He didn’t know when he would have the ability to go to Canada. Sigh, if he didn’t send her to Canada at the beginning, maybe she would be like Zhang Xiang now.
Sighing again, Chen Jing shook his head to stop his wild thoughts. He lifted his head to look at Zi Xin, who was sitting beside him, and found the black bead rolling to the side while Zi Xin was meditating with the white bead in her hand. Chen Jing probed with his spiritual sense and found that the tiny spots inside Zixin’s Jing and Mai had turned into a small stream of heat.
A few days after Zixin’s training, in a one-bedroom residence in the southern part of Little Qingshan’s self-rescue camp, a slender young girl was sitting at a well-decorated book table with her hands on her cheeks. The young girl had waist-length long hair that naturally and gently fell down along the right side of her waist. His hair was wet, and he looked like he had just taken a shower. She wore a pair of pajamas that didn’t really fit her, but it couldn’t hide her lithe figure.
If Zhang Xiang was here, he would have definitely recognized that this young girl was Ruo Meng, the beauty that he had let down today. However, this young lady was no longer called Ru Meng, but had changed back to her original name – Li Xin.
Li Xin was born in a small town more than 500 kilometers away from Mianzhou. She was born in a relatively ordinary family. As her grades in high school were relatively poor, she came to the Mianzhou Nursing School after graduating from high school.
During the disaster, the 18-year-old Li Xin was in the middle of a class. As for what class she was teaching, to be honest, Li Xin wasn’t too sure because her mind was filled with questions about her internship in the next few months. After all, the choice of an internship would most likely affect her future work. In this period of time, most of the students had relied on relationships to find a good internship in the hospital, and only Li Xin and a few others didn’t have any connections due to lack of money. How could Li Xin not be worried?
A few minutes after class, Li Xin, whose mind was filled with wild thoughts, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. Then, like everyone else, she experienced an hour of hell.
After the sharp pain passed, Li Xin discovered that she had already rolled to the door of the classroom. She rubbed her eyes and was about to stand up, when her classmate Ling Zi, who was beside her, suddenly crawled onto her leg, leaving a visible scar on Li Xin’s calf.
Luckily, Li Xin also had a lot of strength after evolving, so she pushed Lingzi away. When she looked up at the classroom, she noticed that all her classmates were eating people, and Ling Zi, who was pushed away by her, pounced towards her again, scaring Li Xin as she crawled and tumbled into the corridor. However, Lingzi and the other two classmates followed behind her.
In this critical situation, Li Xin desperately hid into the bathroom, then once again hid into a crouch, tightly closing the door. A few seconds later, Reiko and the other two ran into the bathroom. Fortunately, the three became stupefied, and after finding out that the bathroom was empty, one of them left through the door while the other two ran through the window and jumped downstairs.
After that, Li Xin, who was scared half to death, stayed in hiding for a few hours. Of course, Li Xin didn’t want to wait so long, since she could feel a strong sense of hunger from time to time, but how would Li Xin dare to leave with the constant screams and howls of a wild beast?
After three hours, the various sounds outside had stopped for a long time, so under the urge of extreme hunger, Li Xin sneakily came out of her squatting position and went to the door to take a look, and discovered that other than two puddles of blood and some bone and meat, the entire corridor was empty.
After coming out of the bathroom, Li Xin laid down on the floor and peeked at the situation in her classroom. She saw that the chairs and tables were scattered all over the floor, and there were a few puddles of blood on the floor. The window of the classroom was broken, but the classroom was empty, and there were all sorts of snacks, milk, and drinks scattered on the floor, causing Li Xin’s eyes to light up.
After eating for a while, Li Xin was finally full. She went to the window and peeked, and was shocked, because there were hundreds of people walking around like zombies on the ground, scaring Li Xin so much that she fell on her butt. At this moment, Li Xin understood that something must have happened in this world, and suddenly remembered that she had something important to do. Li Xin quickly took out her phone, but where was the signal from?
After sitting in a daze for a while, Li Xin felt that she should see if there was anyone else, so she secretly observed the other rooms along the corridor. The other classrooms were similar to her own, but another girl was found in the fourth classroom, and then Liu Yan, who taught them physical hygiene, was found in the teacher’s lounge.
Then they searched the fourth floor and the second floor. Of course, they didn’t dare go to the first floor. After all, there were so many monsters downstairs. However, although they did not dare to go, there were two people who came up from the first floor. In the end, there were a total of 13 people who survived; that is to say, there were more than 400 students and teachers in the entire building. All 13 were women, including a teacher and 12 students.
Afterwards, they collected food and water from four floors and found it was still sufficient for thirteen of them to eat for a month or two. After all, the girls all had quite a lot of snacks and drinks under their desks.
Half a month later, they realized that the monsters downstairs had all left. A month later, there were only five monsters left. Just when Liu Yan was considering whether to bring along Li Xin and the other five female students who had a lot of strength to rush out, a male teacher and eight female teachers rushed out from the opposite school building. They were holding sticks and other weapons as they engaged in an intense battle with the five monsters downstairs. Therefore, apart from the three girls who escaped back to the building, the other five girls, including the male teacher, were all eaten by the monster.
Li Xin and the others who watched the live broadcast were scared half to death, how could they dare to go out again? However, even though the six of them were eaten up by the monsters, they were still able to kill two and heavily injure three monsters. As for the three monsters that were seriously injured, they were also killed by the other monsters. Eleven bodies were eaten by the remaining six monsters for three days. Of course, it wasn’t over. Although it wasn’t too hot this summer, it was already the beginning of May. The temperature was still relatively high, so after three days, the corpses had already rotted and stank.
May 8th. Maybe it’s because the monsters are hungry, but most of them have gone to other places. There’s only one monster left in the garden downstairs. However, due to the tragic events of the past few days, the survivors of the various buildings did not dare to act rashly. On the 15th of May, the fifteen people in the building to the right of Li Xin’s group were probably out of food, so they had no choice but to rush out.
Fortunately, there were no monsters around, so the monster downstairs naturally wasn’t a match for the 15 people. After they killed the monsters, the 15 people rushed towards the canteen. With the previous example, Li Xin and the other survivors from the other buildings also rushed towards the cafeteria. After all, they didn’t have much food or water left.
