Star eyes dodge, and the moon's appearance is clear.
On both sides of the Luoshui River, wild ducks and singing insects fell asleep one after another. Even the wind lantern carried on the bow of the black awning boat had long since lost its luster, and was a dark blue mass swaying in the river wind.
Yang Zhaoxi's breathing gradually became evener, and he remained motionless, lying in the cabin and dreaming. Pugu Xingde, who was responsible for looking after him, had his back against the cabin and was taking a drowsy nap.
Xiao Zhan and Li Miaolan took turns to the bow of the boat early in the morning, eating wine at a small table and grilling river fish in a charcoal pot. The smoke and dust disappeared at night, leaving only the fragrance of fish floating around, seducing the greedy insects in the belly of the nocturnal beast.
.
Everything as far as the eye could see was dim, and Yang Chaoxi seemed to have broken into a different time and space.
There is no sky or ground here, and it is hot and cold at times, as if you are in a huge yurt. The whole place is covered with a dome made of mountain fire and black ice. Only at the intersection of ice and fire, there is a feeling of soreness, numbness and itching.
This feeling connects with thoughts, making people panic, mixed with joy and sorrow, and unable to find a moment of peace.
Looking back at itself, it is invisible and shadowless, it seems to be just a thought. When the thought is about to fly, the dome made of mountain fire and black ice on both sides quickly escapes backward; when the thought is about to stop, the dome remains motionless, and the surrounding scenery
Still, it seems like there is no limit to this place.
While he was confused, he saw a vortex forming in the sky above his mind. The vortex turned faster and faster, swallowing up the nearby mountain fire and black ice, forming a dark hole. An invisible dragon swirled under the hole, instantly locking his mind.
.
The pulling power of the dragon spin began to act on his mind little by little, trying to suck his mind into the hole. His mind could resist it at first, but gradually he felt that the pulling force was like countless knives and axes being exerted on his body, and it hurt.
It was almost about to burst apart. A faint voice kept warning: Don't give in! Don't give in! Don't give in...
After a long time, the pulling force finally disappeared, and the pain like cracking disappeared. Yang Chaoxi looked up and saw that the hole was much smaller and calmer, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his mind was relaxed, a gray rattan suddenly shot out from the hole! The rattan was black and white, very much like the Tao seed dormant in the middle Dantian. Without waiting for his thoughts to dodge, the branches and leaves on the top of the rattan appeared.
It had been pieced together into a dragon head. The dragon's mouth opened wide and it bit into his mind. The pain made Yang Chaoxi's soul tremble——
Pain! The pain of frying and roasting! The pain of crushing the bones and knocking the marrow! The pain of breaking the body into pieces!
My mind didn't know how to describe this kind of pain. Instead of letting go, I felt that the dragon's head was chewing on me, as if it wanted to eat him bit by bit.
Just when the thought was almost disintegrating, the dragon head suddenly closed up as soon as it was ready, holding a large piece of "thought" in its mouth and flew back into the hole, as if it had never appeared.
Only then did Yang Chaoxi's mind escape from the severe pain. He lowered his head and glanced at his "body", and saw that a shocking gap had indeed been bitten into the outline of Ruoyouruowu's mind. There was no bleeding or pain. He just felt a sense of loss, and
The originally harmonious "body" will now be incomplete...
This kind of feeling is very depressing. It is as if something that I once regarded as a treasure has been taken away by force. The helpless regret, pain, entanglement and other emotions are all mixed together, making it indescribable sadness.
At this time, the already calm hole was suddenly opened by many branches and leaves. Immediately, hundreds of crazy vines poured into the hole, like savage tentacles, desperately fighting against the mountain fire and black ice.
Climbing and extending on the dome screen... In just one breath, this area of heaven and earth turned into a huge black and white cage with intertwined branches and leaves.
A dragon head poked out from the vine, and it was immediately in front of his mind. When the dragon's mouth opened, it split into a receptacle, and a flower disk with overlapping petals bloomed from the receptacle. The center of the flower disk was not a stamen, but a gray flower.
The slippery black pearl!
This mysterious bead seemed immature, with a layer of vaguely sticky colloid coating on the surface. Yang Chaoxi could tell at a glance that this colloid was the "body" that had just been bitten off by the dragon's head!
At this time, the colloid is attached to the outside, as if it is warming the Xuanzhu, and seems to be waiting to merge with the Xuanzhu... No matter what the facts are, the thoughts at this time have already burst into monstrous rage, and they can't wait to destroy this terrifying vine.
Tear to pieces.
However, the voice that came from nowhere resounded in my mind's ears: If a great achievement is lacking, it will be of no use... hold on to the incomplete and defend the deficient, resolve conflicts through frustration, and be harmonious with the dust... Use the mortal body as a medicine furnace to isolate the impurities.
, use the innate seeds to enter the Tao, combine them into the elixir mother, and use the day after tomorrow as the furnace fire to smelt the inner elixir...
Although Yang Chaoxi didn't seem to understand, he also understood that the vines and the mysterious beads were a great opportunity! He immediately eliminated the distracting thoughts, became clear about his mind, guarded his thoughts, and watched coldly:
But I saw that the mysterious pearl gradually expanded, first like a chicken, then like a cantaloupe, then like a soup wok, and finally like a urn and tripod!
The flower disk gradually withered, and the mysterious pearl fell off and flew out, hovering among the vines, emitting a bright light. Thousands of vines turned into five-clawed flying dragons, circling and tumbling around the mysterious pearl.
The clouds gradually grew and the fog became thicker! This mysterious scene finally became blurred and finally returned to chaos.
Yang Chaoxi's thoughts gradually floated up and spread out. It wasn't until the time and space where the vine dragon played with the pearl and the ice and fire were wrapped up in it that he realized that it was just a corner of the Niwan Palace (upper Dantian). And the vines poured in.
The hole is exactly the Meiguan Tianxin point.
As for the terrifying vines with claws and fangs, it is indeed the Tao seed that has been dormant for a long time in the middle dantian!
At this time, the Tao seeds had flourished, and the entire plant had been moved to the Niwan Palace, wrapping the Xuanzhu. The whole thing looked like a huge Niwan!
The two kinds of Qi, the innate and acquired Qi, are rushing along the Little Zhoutian. When flowing through the Niwan Palace, part of the innate Qi still becomes the nourishment of the Niwan; however, the acquired Qi is like a furnace fire, starting to calcine the Niwan. Smoke rises.
, lingering around, adding a bit of immortality to the matter of smelting the inner elixir.
Yang Zhaoxi's thoughts escaped from it, and began to move around his body with the surge of inner breath. The bloody mouth opened by the Wu hook, the bloody holes pierced by the spear, the bruises made by the copper mace... Every wound was there.
There are innate and acquired qi lingering around, bit by bit swallowing up the poison of wind evil in the wound.
Suddenly, the sky turns white and the blush gradually starts to appear!
As Yang Zhaoxi breathed in and out, the first wisp of purple energy from the east was immediately transformed into the chest and abdomen, and into the sky. With the rushing inner breath, it spread to all parts of the body. The wounds and swellings that were originally blue, purple, black and red,
It was like applying a magic medicine that removes slough and promotes muscle growth, and the wound was healed bit by bit at an unimaginable speed.
The numbing and itching feeling that became more and more severe suddenly started to make a fuss all over the body, unscrupulous and lawless!
The flesh all over Yang Chaoxi's body began to throb and twitch, as if countless poisonous insects were stirring under the skin, and it was unbearably itchy. The expressions on his face were even more changeable. If it hadn't been for the dark sky, he might have scared others. Suddenly, his eyelids trembled, and finally
He opened his eyes. Regardless of where he was, he immediately moved his limbs and scratched himself wildly. Every time he exerted force, some bloody scabs peeled off, and every time he rubbed, a lot of dirt and dead skin fell off.
An unspeakable smell spread with his movements, and was inhaled into the nostrils of Pugu Xingde, who was taking a nap while leaning on the awning. He immediately frowned and woke up.
Seeing Yang Chaoxi who looked like a "monkey picking up lice", he immediately said happily: "Brother Xiao! Sister Miaolan! Young Shaoxia has woken up! Haha! Yang Shaoxia has woken up and turned around!"
Seeing Xiao Zhan and Li Miaolan running in, he held up the light, scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "It's just that Yang Shaoxia behaves strangely and behaves strangely. I'm afraid someone may have broken his brain..."
Li Miaolan immediately hit him on the head: "Stop talking nonsense! Yang Shaoxia was obviously scratching his itch, what's so weird about it? But you, the saliva is still hanging on your chin, and you don't know how sweet your sleep was just now. Giggle!"
"
Pugu Xingde was immediately embarrassed, and he hurriedly argued incoherently: "The wine is very good today... After drinking a few more bowls, I will inevitably feel sleepy... Hehe! Fortunately, Young Shaoxia is safe and sound..."
Xiao Zhan also smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter! Let's just wait and see. Maybe his wound will be better before he feels the itching."
Yang Chaoxi was scratching vigorously, but how could he care about the opinions of others? It was not until he had scratched all the itchy parts of his body several times and the itching gradually subsided that he stopped and thanked the three of them: "Master Xiao! Lieutenant Li! Servant."
Brother Gu! Xiaodao thanks the three of you for saving me!"
Xiao Zhan was the first to come back to his senses, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Easy words, serious words! It's just a little effort. Junior Brother Yang and I are old acquaintances! From now on, we don't need to be so polite, just call me Brother Xiao!"
Pugu Xingde also cupped his hands and said: "That's right, that's right! We are both members of the Taoist sect. In terms of age and rank, it is quite appropriate to call me Senior Brother Pugu. Haha!"
However, Li Miaolan rolled her eyes at Pugu Xingde, clasped her fists and said with a smile: "I am not a member of the Taoist sect. Young Master Yang, please don't listen to his nonsense! I just don't know if Brother Yang met a bandit who cut the path last night? Or did he steal his wealth?"
A rogue bandit? He almost lost his life!"
"Miss Li! Stop complimenting me."
Yang Chaoxi cupped his hands and smiled bitterly, "Now I don't dare to live up to the word 'young hero'! What I met on the trail yesterday was neither a bandit nor a gangster, but an assassin sent by Yishui Pavilion."
"Assassin?!" the three of them exclaimed in shock at the same time.
Yang Chaoxi nodded: "They are indeed assassins. And they were surrounded by seven people. They were ruthless and well-organized in their attacks, defenses, and avoidances! When Xiaodao fought with them, he had already confirmed the identities of the seven people. If it hadn't been for getting dark,
And because of the favorable location of the reeds, the trail may have been killed by seven people!"
Xiao Zhan immediately wondered: "Yishui Pavilion is said to be 'only for money and silk, not for world dominance'. How could it take action against Junior Brother Yang? And also sent seven good players at once? Could it be that Junior Brother Yang was also killed at such a young age?
If I pay a lot of money and set a reward, I will definitely take your life?"
"Brother Xiao expected it to be good!"
Yang Chaoxi nodded and sighed, "This unfortunate incident must start with the "Top Capital List of Two Capitals"..."
After hearing the words, the three people sat cross-legged one after another, supporting their knees with one hand and their shoulders with the other, and listened attentively.
