Chapter 17: Blue Ghost Fire
A rather quaint palace in the Imperial City
Obviously, it was still daylight outside, but there were several firewood piles burning in the palace, and the sword saint wind and the old monk of the iron arrow were coming, and as soon as the two stepped into the hall, they suddenly felt a hot breath coming to their faces, which made the two of them, who had lived in a cold place all year round, feel uncomfortable.
But just now I asked a few little eunuchs when the wind was uneven, and I learned that Ji Wuying had been staying in this hall since he returned to Beijing, except for being summoned by the emperor just a few hours ago, he only went out once, and even if he went out, according to the little eunuch who saw Ji Wuying at that time, Ji Wuying was wrapped tightly all over his body at that time, and it was clear that it was now the season when it was about to enter summer, but Ji Wuying still kept swinging.
"Strange, what about Ji Wuyingren? Just now the little eunuch said that the old boy had set fire to the center of the hall, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye? ”
Feng Buping's eyes scanned the surroundings, and except for a few piles of firewood, he didn't even see a human figure.
It stands to reason that for an old qualification like Ji Wuying, the royal family will send him a few little eunuchs to help, but the high temperature generated by the non-stop roasting fire in this hall for a while makes it impossible for those little eunuchs who specialize in serving Ji Wuying to stay at all, but fortunately, Ji Wuying is also a good talker, just let those little eunuchs stay outside the palace in clothes, and usually occasionally come to the palace to deliver some food, in addition, only Ji Wuying is alone in this hall.
The old monk's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he sensed something, he instantly took off the short bow with his backhand, turned around again, and pulled out three bows and arrows from the quiver, and at some point he had already put it on the short bow and pointed to a place.
"Still playing peek-a-boo?"
The corners of the Iron Arrow Old Monk's mouth rose slightly, and he said such a sentence to the empty place with some pride.
"Don't play, don't play, it's really boring to play with you two freaks."
The two of them blinked again, and at the same time turned to look behind them, only to see Ji Wuying, who was wrapped all over his body like a zongzi, standing behind the two.
"Everyone in the world knows that Ji Wuying is unparalleled, but they have forgotten that your concealment technique is already an unpredictable realm."
Seeing that the old monk of the iron arrow was a little blue, although the wind was uneven, he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, but he still complimented Ji Wuying.
After all, it's best to make fun of him when it's just me, but this Ji Wuying's concealment technique has just completely hidden from him
Feng Buping's eyes carefully looked at Ji Wuying, who was like a zongzi, and then glanced at the old monk with iron arrows, his face was a little ugly.
In terms of perception ability, I am not as good as the old bald donkey of Iron Arrow, but even so, he didn't see the location of Ji Fa without a shadow just now, so it seems that this Ji Wuying either got some adventure, or he hid his strength!
Thinking of this, Feng Buping looked at Ji Wuying's gaze more and more jealous
Although outsiders say that he is invincible in the world with a sword, but for this kind of opponent that he can't perceive at all, if he is not careful, it is really a mistake and a thousand hatreds.
But fortunately, this old boy is a royal worship, and he should not stand in opposition.
Of course, Ji Wuying also felt the change in the state of the two people in front of him, and hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "I don't know if the Wind King and the Iron Arrow Zen Master came to me today, do you have anything to tell you to do?" ”
Feng Buping looked at Ji Wuying back and forth for a long time, as if he had just met this Ji Wuying, who was the same generation as them back then, just today
"The two of us are here to ask you, that day in Shangzhou, you, Zhou Dunyi's son of that kid, and my apprentice Kumu, were surrounded and killed by a group of black-clothed people."
"And my apprentice suddenly laughed and was not present at the time"
Ji Wuying winked at Feng Buping and the old monk of the Iron Arrow, his mouth opened slightly, and he hesitated
And the wind is uneven, no matter so much, a hand is directly on Ji Wuying's shoulder, the palm of the hand is slightly forced, and the internal force in the body keeps flowing from the palm of the wind to Ji Wuying's shoulder.
And as soon as this domineering internal force entered Ji Wuying's body, it began to wantonly destroy, and in a few breaths, Ji Wuying's forehead showed cold sweat, and his body was trembling, although he wanted to withdraw and take a few steps back at that moment, but the strength of the uneven wind made him feel that if he took a step back, half of his shoulder would be torn alive by the uneven wind.
In the end, Ji Wuying could only mobilize the internal force in his body to resist a little, but the moment Ji Wuying's internal force collided with the uneven internal force, Ji Wuying's internal force was directly eaten by the uneven internal force.
How can I say that it is also the internal strength that the old man can only have after months of hard work!
Ji Wuying couldn't bear it in the end, so he was forced to tell the two of them about that day.
After Ji Wuying finished speaking, Feng Buping withdrew his internal strength, looked at Ji Wuying as if he was nothing, and said, "Your old boy's internal strength is too weak, right?" Could it be a water-based internal force? ”
Ji Wuying didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, but what he knew for sure was that since this incident, every time Ji Wuying saw the wind uneven, he would involuntarily follow the wind and keep a certain safe distance, and it became a joke for a while, but these are all later words.
"Old boy, how did you do that? Why did you wrap yourself so tightly at this time, and make this palace like a stove? How did I not know that you had a problem with cold before? ”
Feng Buping has been very curious about this matter since he entered this palace, after listening to Ji Wuying say those things, he and the old monk of the Iron Arrow already have a direction in their hearts, and all that remains is to let him know why Ji Wuying has become such a ghost.
Hearing this, Ji Wuying glanced at the old monk of the iron arrow, after seeing it, he laughed, attached his ear to the old monk of the iron arrow, and after saying a few words, the old monk of the iron arrow nodded at the wind unevenly, and then walked out of the palace like a furnace quickly.
"Okay, now it's just the two of us, if you old boy have anything inconvenient to say, just talk about it, what the hell is going on?"
After Ji Wuying confirmed that the old monk of the iron arrow had gone away, he untied his cotton clothes with trembling hands and slowly took off several warm clothes.
And in the end, what appeared in Feng Buping's eyes was Ji Wuying, who was already skinny and skinny, and his whole body was almost like a skinny one
It can be said that the current look of Ji Wuying, except that his cheeks are still the same as before, the whole person is almost like a pile of white bones.
And Feng Buping also sensed that something was wrong, and a finger carefully touched Ji Wuying's body
Ji Wuying saw Feng Buping like this, and hurriedly wanted to take a few steps back, but Feng Buping's fingers had already touched it
And at the moment when Feng Buping's finger touched Ji Wuying's body, a burst of ghost fire suddenly burned, burning more and more on Feng Buping's fingers, and before Feng Buping could react, this blue ghost fire was about to burn Feng Buping's entire arm
Feng Buping hurriedly activated the internal force in his body, and in the blink of an eye, the internal force turned into a dragon, swimming on the ground where the blue ghost fire was burning
Half an hour later
The wind was uneven and panting, and his whole strength seemed to have been used up, and his eyes looked at his half arm with an incredulous look.
Although his arm seems to be fine, and his appearance is the same as ordinary, Feng Buping clearly feels that the internal force meridians in his body have been divided into two halves since that arm, which means that he can't feel or use the internal force of his half of his arm at all, it's like, it's like starting from that arm, there is an extra wall between the meridians of his body and the meridians of that arm.
And after that, Feng Buping mobilized internal force from the body meridians countless times to break through the wall, but no matter how hard he tried, it still didn't help.
Looking at the uneven wind, which was already a little distracted, Ji Wuying sighed and said regretfully
"Since the day Qing Tan secretly took away His Royal Highness the Prince, I have met a team of people, although I escaped by luck with light skills, but accidentally fell off a cliff, and then woke up, I became this ghost, I couldn't mobilize a trace of internal force in the body, and finally I dragged this broken body back to Jinling with difficulty, rummaged through all the ancient medical books, and then found a record similar to this disease"
Speaking of this, Ji Wuying picked up the cotton robe from the ground and put it back on, then picked up a warm hand from the ground and handed it to Feng Buping, then walked to the fire and sat cross-legged, with his back to Feng Buping and continued
"However, the antidote to this disease mentioned in that record requires a lot of extremely rare drugs, and it is difficult for me to get together in a short period of time, and in the end it may be that God has mercy on me, so I found a home remedy, which says that as long as the person suffering from this disease keeps staying in the heat, he can temporarily master his internal strength, but this method can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause, alas"
