Volume 1: The GalaxyChapter 22: Hunger and Death Without Bending Down (2)
In the middle of the vast mountain peak of the Temple of the Dead, one of the most ornate palaces. In the main hall, eighty-one golden watches are like optimus primes inserted into the sky, simple and vast, gorgeous vicissitudes! On the top of a purple crystal throne, there is a long-bearded Taoist. The man wore a feather crown and a feather robe, and looked to be about fifty years old. At this moment, he was looking at the person standing next with a helpless face.
"Uncle Hu, it's not that I don't help you, I really don't know the whereabouts of the palace master. Don't embarrass me!, or I'll give you the position of the hall master, right?" the Taoist on the crystal throne sighed with a helpless expression.
"Xu Qingfeng! You don't have to fight with Lao Tzu, do you think that the position of the hall master of the palace of the dead is rare? Even if the palace master gives me his position, I don't bother to sit down! I came to you this time to ask you to help me find the palace master, I have something to say about the rise and fall of the palace. "This person from His Highness turned out to be Elder Danfang, Hu Buyong.
This ordinary alchemy old man turned out to be one of the seven great temples, the uncle of the master of the Hall of the Dead. At this time, Hu Buyong's eyes widened, and he blew his beard and stared as if he wanted to eat people.
"Uncle Shi! How many times do I have to say that you can believe that I really don't know the whereabouts of the palace master, so don't embarrass me? Why don't you go to the Heavenly Palace to have a look, but if it doesn't work, you just wait in the Heavenly Palace, and when the palace master comes back, you can tell the palace master again?"
"Okay! Okay! Xu Qingfeng, I won't say anything! Even if the palace master comes to me in person, I won't say anything! Lao Tzu will stop serving, and go back to the Danfang to drink! Xu Qingfeng, I warn you, when you come to beg me, bring at least two spirit cranes, otherwise Lao Tzu will not see you!"
Hu Buyong, who was angry, stumbled all the way out of this magnificent palace.
In the days that followed, Chen Changan only spent time in penance. After the calcination of the ground fire half a month ago, Chen Changan's body hardness was more than twice as strong as before. Moreover, there has been a very big change in the galaxy.
On the evening of the third day after the exercise, Chen Changan was cutting medicine in the pharmacy. In the quiet galaxy, the seventh spiritual spring rose into the sky, and then a mighty turquoise mist was born in the galaxy. Originally, it was thought that this was the spread of poisonous gas in the ghost teeth of the right hand bone finger, but after repeated identification by Chi Zhen, it was determined that these turquoise mist were produced because Chen Changan had inadvertently refined a trace of the Derivative Divine Essence.
And, under the turquoise mist, a living creature was born!
For the first time in the galaxy, it was a bud the size of a fingernail. However, due to the small size of the shoots and the fact that they are not visible, it is not possible to determine what species they are. In any case, this is also the first time that the Divine Essence of the Derivative Realm has been refined since it entered the galaxy.
I don't know what this fog does, though. But it is also a progress, a lot of progress!
In the following days, Chen Changan lived a very fulfilling life. I only slept for two hours a day, and when I woke up, I cut the medicine, put the cut herbs in the medicine basket, and then began to practice penance all day. And his penance is also very special, that is, standing on the edge of the cliff in a strange way, not moving at all.
Chen Changan's life is full, but there is something wrong with the old Taoist Hu Buyong. After waking up every day, he either hid in the Dan furnace and refined himself. Either they ran to the edge of the cliff and looked at Chen Changan, who was doing special cultivation, in a daze. His hands are on his cheeks, and his eyes are blank.
At the beginning, Chen Changan was stared at by the old way's dull eyes, his scalp was numb, and he was uncomfortable. Later, I slowly got used to it.
"Elder, I warmed the wine for you, do you want to drink a pot before entering the Dan furnace?" Chen Changan took the warm wine in his hand, looked at the lost Hu Buyong and asked.
Hu Buyong turned his head to look at Chen Changan, then looked at the wine jug in Chen Changan's hand, secretly swallowed his saliva, shook his head, and sighed heavily. "Who, let me ask you a question. ”
Chen Changan was stunned for a moment, the old Taoist Hu Buyong was ashamed to ask him as a handyman, which was a new thing. "Please show the elder, the boy is stupid, if you can't answer the elder's question, I hope the elder will forgive you. ”
glanced at Chen Changan, "What nonsense! I'll ask you." If, I mean if. You have inadvertently learned a shocking secret, and once this secret is known by people with bad intentions, it will cause the lives and deaths of many innocent people. And you want to tell the secret to another person. But after this other person found out, it was very likely that he would directly kill the person with the secret. If it were you, would you tell the secret, or would you keep it in your heart?"
After thinking for a long time, Chen Changan looked at Hu Buyong, who was eager to learn, and said in a deep voice. "Elder, the big truth boy doesn't understand, if this is a matter of life and death for many people, you must be cautious. If you only try to leak the secret quickly and cause the death of many innocent people, then this person's life will be spent in repentance. I don't know about anyone else, but if it were me, I think I'd keep this secret in my heart. ”
"Rotten in the heart?"
"It's gone!"
An old man and a young man stayed in place for a long time, Hu Buyong grabbed the wine jug in Chen Changan's hand and drank it all. "I'm annoyed!" he complained, got into the Dan furnace, and continued to open the furnace to refine himself.
"Is there something going on?" Chen Changan spread his hands and muttered to himself.
Continuing to return to the cliff, Chen Changan took on the posture like a strange tree again, and his mind sank into the galaxy, looking for the whereabouts of Chi Zhen. "Chi Zhen! Chi Zhen come out quickly. ”
After a moment, Chi Zhen asked as he emerged from the turquoise mist. "What's wrong?"
"My body is now hardy enough to support an instantaneous burst of the power of the two elephants, and there is still a lot left. But now I can only exert the strength of 8,000 catties with the strength of my physical body, is there any way to increase my strength?"
"Mention it, this is only the seven spirits into one, and there is already a strength of eight thousand catties, which is almost equivalent to the total strength of the three people of the ordinary nine spirit springs. What else do you want?" waved his hand, looking helpless. "You are content, in another half a month, the eighth spiritual spring will almost come out, and then you will let Lao Dao throw you into the Dan furnace to refine it, as long as you can hold on for half an hour, the strength of your body will be doubled again, comparable to the hardness of the seventh or eighth layer of the Divine Transformation Realm. Now, you can't be in a hurry! However, it's time for you to practice your skills, otherwise you won't know how to be flexible when you have no strength, and you can only be beaten passively. ”
"Do you have any good ways to improve your skills?" Hearing that he wanted to practice the art of martial arts, Chen Changan's eyes lit up.
"There's no good way, I can play with you, how about it?"
"This whip is the only vestige of mana left in my body. Even so, it was the crystallization of mana. If you want to learn powerful techniques, you must start with reactions. First of all, learn to...."
"Smack!~~" The whip was thrown down without warning, and Chi Zhen laughed.
"You have to learn to be beaten first!"
The pitch-black whip and the skin brought the pain of piercing the heart. Chen Changan's heart swayed, and his body standing on the cliff almost fell inattention. "Concentrate on your body, don't move your body! Remember, a response is a shock that the brain center senses that a stimulus is being stimulated somewhere in the body. In the same way, mental power is the power generated by the brain to deal with stimuli! It is the kinetic energy of divine thoughts! You have to use divine thoughts to control your body in the outside world so that you don't fall off the cliff, and at the same time digest the pain caused by the whip! Pain, sensory stimulation, you have to carefully experience, how can you eliminate your own pain!"
"Smack!~~"
The second whip fell, and the tip of Chen Changan's heart had begun to tremble. The hardness of his current body can be said to be invulnerable, and ordinary swords slashing on his body will not be damaged at all. However, although this seemingly gentle whip hit his divine thoughts, the pain on his skin was real, and even the nerves were painful.
Grade 12 neuralgia is the limit of what a human can bear. But this whip hits the body, not to mention the twelveth-level neuralgia. It's a level 120, level 240 neuralgia!
"Does it hurt? As long as you don't die, keep it for me! Of course, as long as you say a word, I'll stop and never care about you again! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" he snarled, gritting his teeth.
"Can you still hold on?" The pitch-black magic whip fluttered around Chen Changan's body, and it looked like a third whip could fall at any time!
"Come again!!!~~Bang~~~~"
The voice is soft and bone-longing. The blow to his body was like a heart-wrenching pain, and he was a little suspicious of life. There are even hallucinations in my mind. "If you can't hold on, say no! I'll stop at once, and you'll be released at once, and no one will care about you anymore, and you'll be free again!"
"Chi Zhen! Shut up for me! If you want to fight, you will be beaten nonsense! You said that mortals still have the wind bones that freeze to death and stand on the windward and starve to death without bending down, and I, Chen Changan, am the body of the galaxy, how can I be inferior to a mortal! Come on! Take a step back, I am a grandson!"
Roaring and roaring, the galaxy seemed to be a purgatory of sound.
"Okay, that's good!Bang~~~ As long as you can hold on to ten whips today, you will pass the test!"
"Twelve whips! Two more whips are for you!Hell, come on!Ah!!~~Ah~~!!"
"Smack~~"
"Smack~~"
“....”
The eleventh whip fell, Chen Changan stumbled and was knocked to the ground by the whip, and with all his strength, he tried three times without getting up. "Get up! Get up~~ Chen Chang'an! If you can't get up within ten breaths, you will lose, and you and I will part ways from now on!"
Chi Zhen's stern scream rang out from the whip, and the sound resounded through the galaxy.
"Get up, get up, and have six breaths!Get up~~ Do you still want to be a poor person? Chen Changan! Think about it, is it really nice to be bullied? Poor man!"
"Weakness is the original sin, pity is not as good as a pig and a dog!" In an instant, Chen Changan's mind sounded in his mind that he was talking in the forest that day, his teeth were clucking, his arms were supporting his body, his knees were on the ground, and he slowly got up.
"One! The time is up, congratulations, stand up, and the last whip, I'll give you three breaths to breathe. ”
"Smack~~" As soon as the words fell, the whip fell. Where there are still three breaths, but this last whip was completed in an instant. Chi Zhen conjured up his body, and the pitch-black demon shadow held Chen Changan's body and slowly lay on the edge of the cliff. And Chi Zhen himself, in the blink of an eye, was silent in this galaxy.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and it is late at night in the blink of an eye.
He was whipped twelve times, and he began to fall into a coma in the evening, and showed no signs of waking up until late at night. Each whip hurts the skin and hurts the nerves. With every whip, Chen Changan felt like he had experienced a heart-splitting punishment.
Under the night sky, a little starlight is sprinkled. The turquoise mist rippling in the galaxy began to roll. Not long after, several air currents rushed out of the turquoise source qi that was tumbling in the galaxy, like a miniature version of the stream, and entered his body and began to repair his damaged body.
At the seam of the elbow and wrist bones of the right arm, there is a turquoise spot, which seems to be a natural thing. If Chen Changan saw it, he must have known that it was a turquoise spot that was a toxin attached to the bones when he first met Chi Zhen, when he first met Chi Zhen, he used his poisonous finger to fight with Chi Zhen in the sea of qi at that time, and when the venom flowed back.
A turquoise stream flowed through the right arm, passing the toxin speck, and quickly washed past.
The air rushed through, but the specks of toxin were still there, but they looked smaller. The turquoise air flow seemed to have a spirituality, and turned to stay on the side of the poison.
"Whew!", the air flow passed by, and the spot was still there, but a little smaller. The turquoise air flow finally became angry, and it washed seven or eight times in a row, and the toxin was still there. Swirling around, wrapping the toxin spots, resembling a blue snake with an Ouroboros ring, it opened its scarlet mouth and bit down fiercely at the toxin.
"Buzz~~~" There was a buzzing sound from the bones of the right arm, and the toxins bitten by the blue snake slowly dissolved, and scattered into countless dust along with the blue snake, which merged into the blood. Suddenly, the blood vessels in Chen Changan's body began to expand as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Grunt, grunt!" came out with the sound of blood stagnating in the air, and the blood in the veins began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye. The crimson blood began to take on a faint green color.
Green blood, but no one has ever seen it.
The turquoise mist in the galaxy helped him repair his injured body, but unexpectedly, it turned the toxin into his blood.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I don't know!
At noon, illuminated by the harsh sun, Chen Changan subconsciously raised his hand to block it and opened his eyes with difficulty. Groping to his feet, thinking back to yesterday's whipping, he still had palpitations.
"Hey, the injuries are all healed!" he laughed and walked towards the Danfang.
Danfang, because of the existence of Hu Buyong, it is usually difficult to see an outsider. No one wants to enter the Danfang to find themselves unhappy. Chen Changan has been in the Danfang for a month, and today is the first day to see someone stop at the door of the Danfang.
It was a girl who looked eighteen or nineteen years old, with a dusty temperament, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, in terms of appearance, she is on par with Nangong Aoyue, and each has its own merits.
The girl was sneakily hiding at the door of the Danfang and looking in, carrying two beige cloth bags in her hands. The cloth bag Chen Changan naturally knows, and the tool he uses to hold the pill and send the pill is called the Qiankun bag. Inside, someone used great mana to open up a space of about ten zhang, which is most suitable for storing Wupin.
In line with the attitude of half the owner of the Danfang, Chen Changan walked up. "Girl, what are you doing sneaking around?"
"Ahh I'm gone!"
