Chapter Ninety-Eight: Under the Waterfall
After the two of them had lunch, they entered the dense forest of Gumu Sensen.
At this time, the scorching sun was shining in the sky.
The sunlight shone through the branches and leaves, and was cut into pieces, mottled and reflected on the two of them.
The mountain peaks of the wild land are dangerous, and the ancient trees are towering. In the forest, the vines of the large trees are intertwined with each other, as if covered with layers of large nets, and the light in the forest is somewhat dark, and the tall and straight trees block most of the sunlight.
Xu Ning followed behind as usual, and he had already changed into a set of silk clothes that Chen Jin had given him, which was still very new. Although he is two or three years younger than Chen Jin, he has a stronger figure, and Chen Jin was originally wearing a slightly wide robe on Xu Ning's body, which really fits. It's just that Xu Ning has always been dressed in a short shirt, and suddenly put on a long shirt and twisted slightly.
Compared with Chen Jin, who was wearing a moon-white robe in front, Xu Ning's cyan costume was slightly less elegant, but it was also more energetic and agile.
The forest seemed to be endless, and the two of them walked for a while, and when they looked up, there were shrubs and weeds that were removed from the towering thousand-year-old trees, and sometimes there were a few roars of beasts, and some animals could be seen passing by.
A qiē seems very peaceful.
On a small mountain path covered with dead leaves, the two walked up for a while.
Xu Ning asked a little strangely, "Senior Brother Chen, why don't you and I use my body to go there faster?" ”
Chen Jin smiled: "Don't worry, before you come in the future, I rarely come here alone." With you as a companion today, it will be regarded as a tour of the mountains and rivers. ”
Since coming to this Fengyun Hall for more than three years, he really hasn't had a moment of ease. Chen Jin, who was originally cautious, experienced emotional discomfort again, and just walked out of the haze, and the tragedy of Demon Suppression Mountain and Blood Pool occurred, and the same junior brother died.
But since he met Xu Ning, he has changed too much. It has only been four days since Xu Ning came to Juling Peak, but it has already made Chen Jin feel more cordial, and a smile is on his face from time to time.
From Xu Ning's side, this is not the case.
He was originally a person with a gloomy personality, and after getting along with Chen Jin for a few days, he obviously became open-minded. This person is like this, as long as he opens his mind, the sun will still shine in more or less, and Xu Ning, who used to be full of thunder and anger, will now have more peaceful compassion from time to time.
Xu Ning listened to Chen Jinyi's words, simply lifted a branch from the ground, and knocked the trunk along the road, the sound of "splitting and crackling" echoed in the empty forest, and the deserted forest had more interest brought by human beings.
After walking for a while, Chen Jin signaled to stop and said with a smile: "Did you hear any movement?" ”
Xu Ning listened attentively, and as soon as he concentrated his attention, he heard a roaring sound coming from a distance, and he also laughed: "It's obviously a big river, is it possible that you want to go to the river to cultivate?" ”
Chen Jin smiled without saying a word, and continued to walk in with Xu Ning. Finally, they saw that the trees in front of them were gradually thinning, and a large bright light appeared in front of them, and they had already walked out of this dense forest.
The original roar became louder and louder, as if it were deafening.
"It turned out to be a big waterfall." Xu Ning said, recalling that when he first came here, he had also passed a large waterfall while sitting on the back of the Sky Winged Horned Eagle Beast, and it must be here.
He ran into the light, and sure enough, he saw an incomparably huge waterfall hanging like a white brocade on the cliff in front of him, rushing straight down, and the sound was like thunder.
The surging curtain of water, roaring and swooping down, smashed against the rocks below, splashing countless splashes.
A stream formed under the protruding boulder, which flowed to the feet of the two men. The midday sun shone on the clear water, sparkling.
Xu Ning looked at the magnificent picture in front of him, and was a little obsessed, it was impossible to have such a spectacular scenery in Dongzhou.
"You just came to the wilderness, you don't know much about the surrounding environment, you should go out more when you have time in the future, there are not only deadly monsters and ghosts, etc., but also unique geographical features." Chen Jin said, handed over the two ambergris plants in his hand to Xu Ning, and took off his shirt and shoes.
"I'll follow the method recorded in the martial arts cheats." Chen Jin put the clothes he had taken off on the ground and said, "It is mainly divided into two steps, the first three medicinal baths are just to soak the body in water, and the fourth time is to start to run the internal strength of the mind with all its might. ”
Xu Ning looked at the two ambergris plants in his hand, counted the petals and found that one was five, so he wondered: "But one flower in my hand has five petals, and two are ten petals, what should I do." ”
Chen Jin smiled and said: "Isn't this ambergris divided into male and female, of course it is a piece, I thought that I should use more medicine this time." ”
Xu Ning nodded yes. Chen Jin carefully tore off the two petals of the male and female from the blue flower in his hand, exhaled deeply, looked at Xu Ning and solemnly admonished: "I'll go down now, this time the medicinal bath will be more than half an hour." It's safer than anywhere else, but it's not to be overlooked. ”
Xu Ning promised: "Don't worry, senior brother." ”
Chen Jin jumped dozens of meters under his feet, and fell straight into the stream, like a dragonfly dotting the water, and he didn't even splash a splash.
Xu Ning also secretly admired, thinking that although Chen Jin's martial arts in other aspects looked unremarkable, he was quite outstanding in some skill, such as casting charms and light body techniques.
After Chen Jin entered the water, he floated in the water like duckweed, exposed his neck above the water, immersed his lower body in the water, and then carried the whole person like a pine standing on a cliff, standing still in the current.
His two palms held the male and female petals respectively, and slowly immersed the petals in his hands in the water.
Xu Ning found a quick clean stone and sat down next to the stream, watching Senior Brother Chen from a distance dozens of meters away for the first medicinal bath. After a long while, I still saw that there seemed to be no change in the water, and I thought that I might not feel the change outside.
"Alas, I don't know if it's true or not." Xu Ning sighed.
Just as Xu Ning sighed, Chen Jin's deep words faintly came from there: "There is a reaction!" ”
Xu Ning stood up in surprise and looked intently, only to see that the originally clear and mirror-like stream around Chen Jin gradually changed in color.
The surface of the water begins to take on a pale blue color, and then deepens and deepens, until it becomes a large area of deep blue.
And Chen Jin still had a comfortable and calm expression on his face at the moment, without any discomfort.
Xu Ning looked closely, and the blue color in the water was only surrounded by Chen Jin, no longer spreading like in the distance, nor moving with the current, like a piece of blue silk floating in a stream.
Then he was relieved and sat back down on the stone. I began to look around, where there was something unusual, and looked up at the huge waterfall hanging in the sky, and I was amazed, and I didn't know where so much water flowed from.
After half an hour, the blue water around Chen Jin gradually became lighter in color, until the stream became clear again, and Chen Jin got up and flew ashore.
Xu Ning didn't notice anything unusual from him, so he asked, "Do you feel anything?" ”
Chen Jin closed his eyes as if he was feeling the situation in his body, and finally smiled: "It seems to be there." ”
Xu Ning was dumbfounded, watching him pull off two more petals, jump into the water again, and take a second medicinal bath.
This time, Xu Ning saw that his appearance in the water was the same as before, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive again.
Originally, the medicinal bath was an auxiliary cultivation method, sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't, just because the importance of this medicinal bath to Chen Jin Xu Ning was clear, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in front of him, for fear that if he failed, the blow would be too great.
"Alas, God bless Senior Brother Chen." Xu Ning thought leisurely.
This mood did not change slightly until Chen Jin went ashore again: Xu Ning found that Chen Jin's originally pale face was faintly more ruddy, which was obviously not due to the direct sun.
Chen Jin also seemed to feel some subtle changes in his body, and said thoughtfully: "When I am pranayama normally now, there are more abnormal sensations in the meridians, and there is a trace of cold air, which is very peculiar. ”
Xu Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly helped him pick off two petals and let Chen Jin go to the third medicinal bath.
Chen Jin's third medicinal bath really seemed to have more impact on him than the previous two times, even Xu Ning, who was standing dozens of meters away, could see that the blue luster on his exposed body was much more obvious, and the blue water surface around him was also shaking, obviously Chen Jin's body was shaking, and his face was not like the calm expression of the previous two times, twitching slightly.
When the time for the third medicinal bath arrived, Chen Jin couldn't wait to fly to the shore, covered his body with his hands crossed, and said tremblingly: "How can this medicinal liquid made of ambergris be so powerful, if it is all soaked in a bucket, it will not freeze me into a popsicle." ”
Xu Ning was also surprised, seeing that the sunlight overhead was still the strongest time of the day, these two small petals actually produced such an unbelievably cold air. It's just that......
He suddenly became worried, looked at the remaining four petals in his hand and said in a solemn tone: "Senior Brother Chen, the last time you want to use these petals together, will you be able to do it or not?" ”
Chen Jin only snatched the petals in Xu Ning's hand and laughed: "Now is the most important moment, how can I, Chen Jin, drop the chain and give up halfway." ”
Xu Ning was still hesitating, but felt that the figure in front of him flashed, and Chen Jin had already jumped into the water.
Chen Jin soaked half of his body in the water, took a deep breath, suddenly shouted, and immersed the four pieces of ambergris grass in his hand into the water, at the same time, his eyes soared, he recited the mantra of the heart, and began to exercise wholeheartedly.
Xu Ning also became nervous, holding his breath and unconsciously clenching his fists.
The water surface around Chen Jin suddenly changed, and it was still gradually darkening blue at first, but this blue quietly changed again. I saw that the blue that surrounded his body turned black in the end, and the whole person seemed to be soaked in ink.
This sudden change was something Xu Ning hadn't expected before, and the sweat on his forehead began to drip down his cheeks.
As the qi in Chen Jin's body gathered and skyrocketed, the black water surface also began to evaporate with black smoke-like things, and his face also turned blue to black, and the twitching facial muscles were really quite terrifying.
Streams of incomparably powerful Gang Qi Yuan Force converged in his dantian qi sea, and the incomparably strange substances spawned by the ambergris male flower continued to seep into Chen Jin's skin, pores, limbs, and hundreds of remains, and into his body, stretching his already saturated dantian qi sea to the maximum extent again.
Chen Jin clenched his teeth tightly, and kept exhaling cold air from between his mouths.
The inky liquid in the stream began to roll, as if it was vibrated by the qi that was draining the river and the sea in his body.
Time passed by minute by second, and Chen Jin was still trying his best to hold on, because the extreme point he could bear had not yet arrived.
