XXVIII. Valley of the Dead
My body hurts, it hurts from the inside out.
Glutinous rice shrunk back, and could only stiffly maintain the posture of being dropped by the flying sword, and the vitality of her outer body was almost completely cut off, and her whole body was cold, leaving only a faint and difficult breathing gasp. She could hardly feel the changes in the outside world, and she had no way to control the rampaging True Yuan Force in her body, and her body was in pain as if it was about to explode from the inside. If it weren't for the faint warmth in her body that was supporting her life, she might have really lost her breath by now.
This pain was more difficult than all the hunger and sickness that Nuomi had experienced combined, and his skin and muscles were so swollen that he was about to crack, so that he didn't have the energy to pay attention to Tian Tian and Qingming Zhenren's words, and he didn't know that he had been thrown into the Valley of the Dead Soul, which symbolized death.
This is a bit like the warmth that naturally generated in Nuomi's body when she was sick before. Only this time, her body was even more injured, and the True Yuan Power and the smelly and poisonous medicinal power rushing around in her body were like a raging storm, almost covering the faint warmth.
Fortunately, Tian Tian thought that the "corpse" of glutinous rice was dirty and smelly, and he didn't want to touch it with his hands at all, so he only picked the glutinous rice with a flying sword, and directly controlled the flying sword to throw the glutinous rice to the bottom. If Tian Tian had fallen from the top of the peak with glutinous rice in his arms, at such a height, he would have been killed a long time ago, and he would not be able to commit the pain that glutinous rice is in now.
It's just that in that case, even life will be lost. Nuo Mi, a disciple who has just started to cultivate, has not yet been able to cultivate the Yuan Shen, and there is no possibility of military liberation at all, once the physical body is destroyed, it is a real death, and there is no difference from ordinary mortals. Only after cultivating the primordial spirit can the cultivator be regarded as reluctantly stepping out of the ranks of mortals, and after the physical body is destroyed, he will either take away the sacrifice or cultivate the ghost path, and he will not die immediately.
I don't know how long I lay like this, and the pain in my body finally eased a little.
Glutinous rice tried to twitch and move her fingertips, her finger joints were stiff and sore, like rusty door shafts, and it smelled of the resurrection of the dead when she moved. He smelled an indescribable smell coming from his body, rotten, reminding Glutinous Rice of the corpses he often saw on the side of the road when he was wandering. It's still the smell of carrion that has been abandoned for many days and has grown worms.
It seemed that something had been touching his body, but Glutinous Rice was groggy and didn't know if the slight push was real or an illusion. The body seemed to be entangled, and the face and lips were touched, and the touch disappeared.
I don't know how long I lay down, but the cry of a beast came from afar, and Nuomi was startled, and struggled to get up.
When she used to wander outside, what she was most afraid of was encountering wild dogs and wolves at night. Even rats in the field dare to grab food from wandering refugees when they are in groups. Sometimes they are so hungry that they even treat refugees as food. Some daring rats dare to crawl on people's faces at night and bite the lips of the homeless. Nuomi was bullied by wild beasts when she wandered outside, and she once watched dying refugees being torn apart alive by wolves. Of the corpses encountered on the road, not many of them could be intact. Listening to the roar now, she immediately reflexively trembled.
But her tired and sore body was not as she wished. Nuomi only supported half of her body with her elbows, and her wrists weakened, and the whole person fell back to the ground.
When he fell, the muddy water accumulated on the ground splashed up, and it hit the glutinous rice in the face coldly.
Nuomi was stunned, and only then did she realize that she was no longer in the main hall of Qingquan Peak. Then, she remembered the constant pain in her body. Then, she remembered that there should be no beasts in the main hall of Qingquan Peak, and the only beasts on the peak were the two demons guarding in front of the mountain gate, and their roars could not be heard in the main hall far away from the mountain gate.
The unfamiliar environment made Nuomi feel a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.
I don't know where I am, or even why I'm in this place.
The roars of wild beasts in the distance came and went, and glutinous rice couldn't even suppress the trembling of his fingertips. She rubbed her face against the cold mud on the ground to make herself more sober.
She had forgotten about her pain, her tiredness, and the stinking blood and muddy water that stuck to her body. All he wanted was to get away as quickly as he could—at least, to find a place to hide.
Glutinous rice sniffled, but forgot that she was lying on a ball of muddy water, and was choked fiercely. The water was mixed with her own blood, and in addition to the fishiness, there was also the unpleasant smell of the pill.
This made the glutinous rice sober up again.
She didn't care about the pain and sadness, she picked the mud on the ground with her fingertips, and crawled forward little by little.
She didn't know what lay ahead, but she picked a direction opposite to the beast's cry and crawled desperately.
When her arm was caught, Nuomi was startled, and instinctively thought that she was bitten by some beast, so she threw her arm and tried to break out.
"Senior brother, junior brother."
The strength of the glutinous rice struggle is very great, and it is completely inconsistent with the small body, and the body cultivation of the pillar is a little difficult to catch, so I have to hurry up to appease. Nuomi heard the familiar voice, shook her body slightly, and then stopped struggling, and raised her head cautiously, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll take you back. The pillar didn't know how to comfort the glutinous rice, so he could only say something dry awkwardly.
Zhu grabbed Nuomi's arm with one hand, and scratched his head with the other free. Although he looked neater than glutinous rice, his hands were also covered with mud, and when he scratched it like this, he rubbed the mud all over his head. Nuomi stared at the pillar with round eyes, and then calmed down little by little. She bit her lip and endured it, and endured it, but finally she couldn't hold it back, and cried out with a "wow".
"Senior brother...... Teacher, senior brother...... Pain. It hurts......"
No matter how well-behaved she is, glutinous rice is just a seven-year-old doll in the end. When I crawled all the way just now, I was so nervous that I forgot to cry. Now that I'm by my brother's side, I finally have a sense of security. As soon as my heart was relieved, I couldn't hold back the tears of grievance.
Although Nuomi is still a child, she is not stupid.
The inexplicable pain after taking the pill, and the appearance in a strange and terrifying place after waking up, although she couldn't clearly analyze it, she could vaguely understand what was going on. Although she didn't understand why Shizun did this, the feeling of being bullied lingered.
I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and my body hurts.
Glutinous rice cried profusely, sobbing and choking while vaguely repeating "it hurts" and "it hurts".
The pillar scratched his head again, a little at a loss. Although he has many younger brothers and sisters in his family, the pillar left home very early, leaving home at the age of five or six for a living, and later came to the mountain gate as a physical cultivator, and he did not have much experience in coaxing dolls. Originally, the pillar was holding Nuomi's arm, but Nuomi cried sadly, and in the end, it turned into Nuomi's hand holding him.
