Chapter Twenty-Six: Midnight Sounds
"Brother, you can rest, I'll come!"
The sun was setting, and after walking through the forest for nearly two hours, they finally found a suitable place to rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was a huge tree, as thick as ten people hugging each other, and not only that, but it also had a wide hole in its thick trunk, so that if you pay a little attention, you can sleep beautifully. That's why they chose this place.
Mo Xuan was already lying on the hay laid out in the tree hole, while Zi Ming and Zi Ran were preparing enough firewood outside the tree hole to make dinner. They had collected enough firewood, and when Zi Ming had threaded the cut wolf meat with a branch, Zi Ran took the initiative to take it. Barbecue, they will.
"Brother, give it to me!"
"Hmm!" Ziming didn't refuse, he was really tired enough. "I'm here with you, call me for something!" After saying that, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, and began to breathe regularly with his eyes slightly closed. Meditation, the only thing Situ Xuanqi taught him, he was doing such a boring thing under Situ Xuanqi's guidance for the past few days. Exhale-inhale-exhale-inhale! The very comfortable feeling came again, warm, like a stream of warm water flowing in the body, from head to toe, every corner of the limbs and hundreds of bones was slowly covered by it. After a while, he felt something different, the fatigue on his body was less, and the faint pain was quietly disappearing. The words that Situ Xuanqi said suddenly sounded in his head, "Carry the camp and embrace one, be dedicated and gentle, cleanse the Xuanlan, open and close the gate of heaven, and understand the four reaches." "It was as if a voice was ringing in my head, and then the glyphs were written out and drifting around. Zaiying hugged one, he asked Situ Xuanqi, but the other party sat cross-legged on the ground without saying a word. Stillness is not the kind of stillness where a person is locked up in a room, it is the stillness of the heart, as if lying in the clouds.
Next to the fire, Zi Ran was concentrating on roasting wolf meat, when suddenly, a thin red light appeared in sight. I was startled at first, but when I looked up, I saw the source of the red light. That's right, although for some reason, she didn't bother Zi Ming, and faintly she felt that the red light that flickered and disappeared with Zi Ming's breathing was not a bad thing for Zi Ming. Dou Man also revealed something to her, he said that her Ziming brother was no longer the same. "Is this what Brother Dou Man said?" she tilted her head and muttered to herself as she refocused on the barbecue. "It's really different. ”
On the other side, Zi Ming, who was sitting cross-legged, did not know the changes outside his body, he was obsessively enjoying the silence in the clouds like a child. Suddenly, the clouds beneath him dispersed, and a few words were neatly arranged. "Stillness becomes its movement, management and peek at its completeness, reason is born as reason, and everything is connected with the heart. ”
"Smack!" like a blister bursting, the two crosses also turned into powder in an instant, but he found another gratifying thing, he didn't expect Situ Xuanqi's words to really come true. In his mind, the pictures of Zi Ran's barbecue and Mo Xuan's sleep were clearly visible, and even the fine grass and Zi Ran's hair under Mo Xuan could be seen clearly. He tried to look far away, but there was nothing but darkness as far as the eye could see. But he heard a voice in the distance, and it seemed that a squirrel was barking, was that a hare, and why did it run so quickly?" "Roar!" the forest, which was already unpeaceful, was even less peaceful to his ears. When he wanted to try to distinguish more of the sounds of those animals, he saw Zi Ran in his mind get up, the wolf meat in her hand was already roasted, and the tempting aroma was wafting into his nostrils with the steaming heat.
"Xiao Ran, it's baked so quickly?" Before Zi Ran approached, he opened his eyes and said.
"Yes, brother, you belong to a dog, you really know how to pick time. Try it, see if my craft has dropped. Zi Ran smiled and cut off a piece of roasted wolf meat and handed it to Zi Ming.
When you take the barbecue, the aroma accumulates in your nostrils. couldn't help swallowing saliva, including Jiang Li, among the several of them, the best barbecue was Zi Ran and Mo Xuan, they were very much like geniuses who were sensitive to a certain field, and their age could no longer be an obstacle. In the past, when he was in Yuncun, Jiang Li would go into the mountains every once in a while to hunt some unknown game for them to practice, and then he had a satisfying meal with Ziming. Jiang is not here, and this time they can be regarded as self-reliant.
Bringing the barbecue close to his nostrils again and taking a deep breath, Zi Ming took another unceremonious bite. Tender and crispy, just the right heat and time to master the flavor of wolf meat to the extreme. As before, as long as he eats Zi Ran or Mo Xuan's roasted meat, Zi Ming generally doesn't care about anything.
Zi Ran didn't laugh at Zi Ming's gobbling up appearance, but used a knife to cut the wolf meat in her hand into small pieces, she didn't dare to forget the people in the tree hole.
"Brother Mo Xuan!" gently shook Mo Xuan awake and asked in the pitiful tone characteristic of that little girl, "Are you better?"
Opening his eyes, Mo Xuan sat up with his hands on the ground. "It's much better. "He's not lying, his body is special and he can heal faster than others. With the help of pills, he was fully confident that he would be able to live again in the near future. "Today's dinner is Xiao Ran's?" he asked with a smile.
"How do you know?"
"I smell it, it's so fragrant, who else can do it except Xiao Ran? Give it to me, I'm drooling in my dreams. ”
"Then you need to eat more, you didn't eat just now. ”
"Such a good thing, how can I not eat more, I don't want to be said by Uncle Li to be a tyrannical thing!" Taking the small piece of barbecue meat that Zi Ran skewered with a wooden stick, Mo Xuan opened his mouth to pull it without saying a word, even if his chest was still torn and hurt, he was like a child who hadn't eaten for a long time.
"Slow down, it's not enough!" Zi Ran said with a smile.
"No, Brother Ziming will rob it. ”
"You see I've eaten so much, is it necessary to grab it from you?" Zi Ming, who walked in from outside, happened to hear Mo Xuan's words, and raised the barbecue meat that was gnawed messily in his hand as proof.
"Not necessarily, you've always been able to eat. ”
"Dare to joke with me, it doesn't seem to be very serious!" Zi Ming sat down beside Zi Ran, chewing wolf meat in his mouth and said, "Xiao Ran, eat it too, go to bed quickly, I will keep vigil today." ”
"Hmm!" Zi Ran nodded obediently, got up and walked out of the tree hole to get the barbecue.
"Brother Ziming, are you successful?"
"I can't do it, can you do it? First of all, I'll only give you this one night, if you can't heal from your injury, don't blame me for sending you away." ”
"You promise I'll get a good night's sleep today, I haven't held you back!"
"That's right," Zi Ming said condensed. "You're pretty reliable. ”
At night, the mountain wind blows the flames over and over again. The leaves rustled, and the beasts were not willing to be lonely, soaring high notes, either deep or sharp. Zi Mingpan sat at the entrance of the tree hole, except for a small area illuminated by the fire, there was no light around. Zi Ran and Mo Xuan had fallen asleep, and Zi Ming also closed his eyes and listened to the movement. Situ Xuanqi was right, this method of resting and meditating really could help them. Because of this, he didn't notice anything unusual about Mo Xuan. If he turned his attention to Mo Xuan at this time, he would definitely find that he was wrapped in a thin black mist, and that black mist also allowed him to melt more into this long night. Not only that, but there were also small streams of threads running through his body, which shuttled through every corner of Mo Xuan's body like a porter, and then gathered around his chest with something of different colors, where a raised sarcoma hung down from between the bones. I saw that the thread-like things were either wrapped around the sarcoma or stuffed between the cracked bones, and after a while, they disappeared. Because of this, the black mist on Mo Xuan's chest seemed thicker than elsewhere.
Mo Xuan's strange treatment continued, and Zi Ming also listened intently to the sounds around him. He is not sleepy, and the warm current in his body is moisturizing his body over and over again. Now he can't look inward, so he doesn't know the true form of that warm current. It was a red mist-like aura, very small, and it was not spread out enough to fill Zi Ming's small body. At the beginning of Qi acceptance, the aura form is opposite to the current Zi Ming. Naturally, with the improvement of the realm, the richness of the aura will also increase accordingly, and this is still a long time journey. Not to mention the current Zi Ming, he doesn't understand the use of aura, and aura only plays an auxiliary role for him, helping to heal injuries, and changing his body functions for him to a limited extent. So, when he has the ability to go face to face with an ordinary beast, he also needs the help of others. Suddenly, he heard a dull voice approaching, and it seemed to have very large feet, and could break countless branches with each step.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound grew louder and louder, and Zi Ming even felt the shaking of the ground.
"What is it, coming to us?" he said he kept himself as quiet as he could to determine if he was about to be in danger. Mo Xuan had just fallen asleep, and he didn't want to take them to their deaths. But he was destined to be disappointed, the voice was getting closer, and the sense of danger in his mind was becoming clearer. He couldn't wait to be sure, he got up from the ground with a thud, he wouldn't risk anyone else's life.
"Xiao Xuan Ziran, wake up!" In the confusion between the two of them, he said, "I have to go now, there's a big thing coming!"
"Brother Ziming?"
Zi Ran rubbed his eyes, but Mo Xuan instantly sobered up after hearing Zi Ming's words, they had the same sense of danger.
"Brother Ziming, can you be sure what the other party is?" Mo Xuan strapped the burden to his body and lifted the dagger at the same time, so fast that he couldn't tell that he had just been injured.
"Are you okay?" Zi Ming looked at Mo Xuan in surprise while helping Zi Ran clean up.
Standing up from the ground and stretching my waist habitually, the pain in my chest was basically unfelt. Mo Xuan said ostentatiously, "I said I wouldn't hold you back, and I did what I said." ”
"Are you sure?" Zi Ming got up from the ground and lifted Mo Xuan's clothes, where the shocking dents were gone, only some bruises that had not had time to digest. "It seems to be true!Let's go, we have to get out of this place quickly!" After saying that, he took the lead and ran out, followed by Zi Ran and Mo Xuan, and he didn't even have time to deal with the fire that was still burning.
As they ran, the sound of their huge footsteps hurried, as if they were trying to catch up with them.
"Brother Ziming, what is it?" Mo Xuan shouted.
"I don't know!" Zi Ming shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the giant trees on both sides. "Go up the tree and see what the hell it is. ”
