Chapter 5: There is no cave
But it was said that Feng Xi, who was dragged by the demon Dao people to jump off the black pool, fell straight down after entering the pool, and the water from all directions poured towards her, and she couldn't even open her eyes when she was persecuted, only vaguely felt that she was being carried around seven bends, and she didn't know where she was in a few breaths.
Just when she felt that she was about to suffocate, the pressure around her suddenly relaxed, and her feet stood on the ground again, she spit out a mouthful of fishy pool water with a "wow", coughed vigorously a few times, and then wiped her face with her little hands and opened her eyes.
It was pitch black as far as the eye could see, and apart from being soaking wet, the surroundings were very dry, and there was the sound of water flowing slowly.
If it weren't for the fact that he could still see many golden points of light flashing in front of him, Feng Xi almost thought that he was blind.
"Squeak......
There was a slight sound in the darkness, as if some old box was slowly opened, and then a light slowly rose, and Feng Xi gradually saw the environment around him.
She was in a small stone cave that could only accommodate two or three people to stand, and the stone walls around her were smooth and seemed to have been deliberately polished. The entrance of the cave is completely shrouded by a white light curtain visible to the naked eye, and the pool of water outside the cave seems to be isolated by this light curtain, although the shaking water waves continue to impact the light curtain, but it can never pour into it.
Looking out of the cave is the black pool of water, in which there are many small fish more than an inch long, the body of the fish is transparent, the head and tail are golden yellow, and the swimming body of the fish intermittently shines with golden light.
It turned out that these strange fish were the golden points of light that Feng Xi had just seen in the dark.
Feng Xi turned around and found that the Demon Daoist was facing away from her, holding the square box that had been opened in one hand and groping for something on the stone wall with the other.
I saw that the box contained a crystal clear bead the size of a baby's fist, and it was the shining light emitted by the bead that illuminated the originally dark stone cave as if it were day.
"Boom ......"
The cave suddenly shuddered, and a thin crack suddenly appeared in an originally hard stone wall, and the crack gradually expanded to both sides with the sound of the stone grinding on the ground.
When the crack widened enough to fit an adult through, the stone wall finally stopped moving, and the muffled sound of grinding stone died away.
At this time, the Demon Dao Man grabbed Feng Xi and jumped in.
After a while, I saw that the crack just now began to close again, until it returned to the smooth appearance it saw at first.
After entering from the stone gate, the field of vision in front of me suddenly became very wide, the space inside was more than ten times larger than the stone cave outside, there was a square pool in the middle, there was a bright red liquid flowing in it, and there were five or six wooden shelves placed randomly next to the pool, on which were placed some bamboo slips, but more were bottles and jars.
No one would have thought that in the depths of the inaccessible jungle, under this small black pool, there is a cave!
Feng Xi was secretly looking at the surrounding environment, and suddenly felt that her back was hit by a force, and in an instant, her thin and small body flew uncontrollably towards the direction of the pool, and when she reacted, she was already in the middle of the pool she had just seen.
As soon as she entered the water, the icy chill spread all over her limbs, Feng Xi shivered, her little face turned pale instantly, she wanted to escape, but found that her legs were stiff and out of her control.
"Hahaha......"
The Demon Daoist suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said to himself like a madman:
"I have been searching for dozens of years in my life, traveling all over the eastern wilderness and western realm, the southern regions and the northern ruins, breaking into the secret realm alone, fighting spirit beasts, experiencing life and death several times, and finally waiting for today."
"Soon...... As long as the flesh and blood of the ninety-ninth boy are flesh and blood in this Taiyin pool, the blood pool is exhausted, and the flames come out, I can obtain eternal life! ”
After that, the Demon Dao Formation Man stroked the right side of his face, which seemed to be a little older than before, and his right hand was now as rough and cracked as the bark of an old tree, with protruding blood vessels, and black spots the size of beans had grown on the back of his hand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Feng Xi had roughly heard from the words of the Demon Daoist that he was frantically raising "Flame Flowers" with the flesh and blood of children, just to prolong his lifespan!
Feng Xi's consciousness was a little blurred at this time, she pinched her palm hard, knowing that in front of the Array Demon Dao who had lost her mind, her begging for mercy and showing weakness were useless, so she said calmly:
"I've heard people say that if a spiritual master cultivates to a certain level, he can also prolong his life......
"Haha......"
Hearing this, the Demon Daoist laughed again, but he laughed and laughed, but tears flowed out, and his eyes were scarlet and looked straight at Feng Xi, as if he had seen something else through Feng Xi.
"If the spiritual path had given me the slightest hope of breaking through the sixth order, how could I have betrayed my relatives and even become the half-human and half-ghost I am now!"
After a long time, the Demon Dao said such a sentence with grief and indignation, and then squatted down against the stone wall with some dejection.
He remembered the scenery when he used to hold the moon with the stars, compared to the despondent and desolate who was now hiding in a hidden cold stone cave and did not dare to show his face, but it was really a difference between cloud and mud.
Originally, he would not have become like this if he had aged normally, but he had tried many ways over the years, whether it was the righteous path or evil arts, as long as it was helpful to prolong his life, he had tried them one by one, until the medicinal properties in his body clashed, and he became like this.
Feng Xi had quieted down at this time, not that she didn't want to speak, but that she was so frozen that it was difficult to even speak, and her stiff limbs began to have a fine pinprick sensation, and the blood in the pool seemed a little excited, obviously still bubbling cold, but one after another bubbles continued to grow and rise from the bottom of the pool, and exploded with a "bang" in less than a moment, like boiling water was about to boil.
Seeing this, the Demon Daoist hurriedly got up and rummaged through the shelves on the side, took out a white porcelain bottle, carefully poured half of the green liquid in it into the pool water, and drank the other half with a drop left, and then stared at the changes in the pool with extremely excited eyes.
The water in Taiyin Pool boiled more and more, Feng Xi couldn't hold it anymore, and his consciousness began to slacken.
"Why...... Why does it seem like you're dying again......"
This was Feng Xi's last consciousness, and she felt as if she had fallen into boundless darkness.
"Qiang ......"
Suddenly there was a crisp and loud sound in my head, like the impact of gold and jade, more like the sharp chirping of some bird.
There seemed to be a flash of golden light on his forehead, Feng Xi's consciousness gained a short period of clarity, and there was a burning feeling like a flame coming from his forehead, and then this fiery feeling gradually spread downward, Feng Xi's face began to be a little ruddy, his eyelids moved, and he tried to open his eyes.
And all these subtle changes only happened in a very short period of time, and the Demon Dao people who had been staring nervously at the depths of the pool did not see it.
