Facing Jiang Ning's question, Fu Tuan looked confused and immediately began to explain: "No, no, no, fellow Daoist Jiang, you have misunderstood me, I am not that capable.
The reason why you are in this situation is because the Yang Qi in our body is extinguished. In this cold and dim sea of life and death, Yang Qi is our armor.
It can help us resist the invasion of yin and evil, but once the protection of yang is gone, our bodies will soon be invaded by the ubiquitous coldness, which is unavoidable."
After listening to Fu Tuan's explanation, Jiang Ning was half convinced.
"How can I believe that what you say is true?"
Jiang Ning had never heard anything about the strange things in the Sea of Life and Death, so when faced with what Du Tuan said, he couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
Fu Tuan suddenly laughed and said: "This is easy to handle. Fellow Taoist, if you do as I say, you can expel the evil energy that has seeped into your body and resume action."
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Fu Tuan no longer wasted time and began to pass on the solution he knew to Jiang Ning. Soon, according to his method, Jiang Ning's stiff and numb body began to regain consciousness little by little.
After touching about half a stick of incense, he finished adjusting his breath, exhaled a deep breath of black smoke, and his body was completely normal.
"It's really like that."
Jiang Ning was quite surprised, and at the same time he had a deeper understanding of the Sea of Life and Death.
He stood up and moved his joints twice. When he turned around, he saw Fu Tuan sitting on the bow of the boat in a very strange manner, looking at him with a wry smile on his face.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but frown and said, "What's the matter with you?"
At this time, Fu Tuan was covered with a thick layer of ice from his head down, and his whole body looked like a living ice sculpture.
And the strange thing is that these ices are black in color, and there is a cold air on the surface, which makes you shiver just by looking at them.
Fu Tuan shook his head, sighed, and said: "My injury was too serious. When I was adjusting my breath, a large amount of evil evil energy took advantage of it and sealed my meridians. I was unable to expel the evil energy on my own. That's why I'm like this now. I still can't."
Good fellow Taoist, wake up, if it were any later, I might have to drive to the west of Hexi."
The injury is too serious?
Jiang Ning looked quite embarrassed when he heard this.
It seems that he still underestimated the power of the forbidden technique. He didn't expect that under his intentional control, he could seriously injure a Fu Tuan whose cultivation was not inferior to his own.
The Yang Fire Technique is indeed a bit scary.
"What should I do now? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Jiang Ning couldn't let him die here now. After two consecutive encounters, he felt more and more that staying with Fu Tuan was an extremely wise choice.
This person's value in the sea of life and death cannot be exchanged for ten boxes of gold!
What Fu Tuan was waiting for was Jiang Ning's words.
He was seriously injured, and his meridians were blocked by the cold evil energy. If he wanted to survive, he could only place his hope on Jiang Ning and let him force out these evil spirits for him using the method he had just given him.
In this way, you will have a way to survive.
"Fellow Taoist, just follow what I just taught you." Fu Tuan said with a hint of urgency in his expression.
He knew very well how terrifying the black ice was. Now they had spread to his neck. If he continued to let it go and spread to the back of his head, it would really be too late.
Even if the land gods come, they won't be able to save you!
Soon, with Jiang Ning's help, the black ice on Fu Tuan's body began to melt and turned into a black trickle, seeping through the deck and disappearing into the wooden boat.
"Phew, I'm finally alive!"
Fu Tuan, who was out of danger, was lying on the deck in a "big" shape, looking at the gloomy sky, his expression full of heart palpitations for the rest of his life.
Jiang Ning sat opposite him and adjusted his breathing, looking at the boundless sea in front of him, and said calmly: "I think your injury has almost recovered. When are you going to see your brother?"
He remembered that Fu Tuan had said that he would go find Wu Shiyi as soon as he recovered from his injury.
Fu Tuan looked dull as if his brain had been frozen. It wasn't until Jiang Ning kicked him that he came back to his senses and asked, "What are you talking about, fellow Taoist?"
"I said, when are you going to see your elder brother?"
When Wu Shiyi was mentioned, Fu Tuan finally recovered. A carp jumped up and down on the deck and shouted: "Yes, my brother, go now, go now!"
As he spoke, he reached out and groped for something in his mustard bag, as if he was looking for something. Suddenly, his movements froze, he raised his head and asked, "No, Fellow Daoist Jiang, why do I feel that you want to see me more than I do?"
Big brother?"
Jiang Ning really wanted to find Wu Shiyi as soon as possible, even if it was just to collect his body in time, but he never expressed it in front of Fu Tuan.
Therefore, his words made Fu Tuan suspicious.
Faced with doubts, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged and calm.
"You're thinking too much. I just want to leave this hellish place quickly. If I continue to stay, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died."
Fu Tuan squinted his eyes and considered his words carefully.
After a while, he nodded and said: "We really need to leave as soon as possible. Without the protection of Yang Qi, the evil and evil moisture around us will erode us all the time. But once we have the protection of Yang Qi, it will attract unknown existences in the sea.
The pursuit is very dangerous."
Jiang Ning praised him endlessly in his heart. He didn't even think of using this as an excuse, but he made it all up for him.
"Yes, so you find him quickly and get out of here."
"good!"
Fu Tuan was no longer suspicious and continued to fumble in the mustard bag. After a few breaths, his face lit up and he took out a small bronze sword as long as his index finger from the mustard bag.
"I found it, it's you!" He held up the small bronze sword and said excitedly: "Fellow Taoist, you see, with this thing, I can roughly determine the direction where my elder brother is now."
"Is this his sword?" Jiang Ning asked knowingly.
Fu Tuan waved his hand and said: "That's not true, but this sword has magic that we can't imagine. Just take a good look at it."
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bowl with a corner missing from the mustard bag, then scooped out a bowl of sea water of life and death, and placed the bowl on the deck.
Jiang Ning looked intently, the corners of his eyes twitching.
The Sea of Life and Death is vast and boundless. Normally, it looks like a vast expanse to the naked eye. Except for the color being different from ordinary sea water, there is nothing else.
But now after it was scooped up in a bowl, I realized that there were terrible clues in it.
It's not so much water as it is hundreds of thousands of extremely thin silk ribbons, as if just a pair of chopsticks can pick them up like noodles.
"It turns out that the sea of life and death is like this." Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh.
Fu Tuan was already used to it.
After he leveled the bowl, he held the small bronze sword between his index fingers, recited an incomprehensible incantation, danced for a while, and then placed the small sword horizontally in the bowl.
The small sword, which was quite heavy, was floating on the water as light as a feather at the moment, spinning back and forth repeatedly until it stopped, with the tip of the sword resting in the southwest direction.
"Found it, my eldest brother is in the southwest!"
