Chapter 380: Dependence

Although Li Changjing showed his might in this battle, he was also injured a lot, especially when he fought against the skeleton Yuanzun, he was hit by several claws of the Hades Emperor, if it weren't for the blessing of the Seven Absolute Falls, I am afraid that he would have died more than a dozen times, and now after relaxing, he felt as if he had fallen apart, and his Yuan Force was very depleted, looking at the ice charm that was as soft as mud, remembering the picture that flashed in his mind before, he was not sure whether it was real or illusory for a while, and he stammered in a panic and nervously: "This ...... I...... How am I, how are you ......"

"What, I'm going to ask you!" Bing Mei regained a little strength, gritted her teeth and sat up, glaring at him angrily.

"I ...... I ......" Li Changjing's mind was full of the madness and confusion that seemed to be real, and his heart became more and more panicked.

"You, you, you! What the hell are you? Ice Charm said angrily.

"I ...... I ...... "Li Changjing" and "me" for a long time, but still "I" couldn't come up with anything.

"Where did you have the guts to fight with the Skeleton Yuanzun just now?" The ice charm is unrelenting, annoyed on the face, and it is even more delicate and moving.

Li Changjing's heart beat and looked at her blankly.

Seeing his gaze, Bing Mei suddenly remembered something, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she picked up something from the side and asked, "What is this?" How will it be in your face? ”

"This ...... It's the Seven Absolute Falls. Li Changjing replied.

Bing Mei's body was shocked, and she took a cool breath and said, "Where did you find it?" How did it end up in your hands? ”

"It was given to me by Mi Dingzi." Li Changjing has no head or tail.

"Looking for Dingzi?" Bing Mei frowned, not thinking of who it was for a while.

"Yes, he coaxed me into learning a forbidden spell and forced this thing to me." Li Changjing continued.

Bing Mei finally remembered and wondered, "Looking for Dingzi? I've read the relevant records in the character chronicles of Daze Township, and it seems that it is the refining master of Tianji Island, who is said to have been missing for 20 years. ”

Li Changjing then told the story of accidentally bumping into the abyss of hell and meeting Mi Dingzi.

After hearing this, Bing Mei muttered: "It turns out that the fragment of this mask fell into the hands of the Skeleton Yuanzun, and it was repaired by Mi Dingzi...... She glanced at Li Changjing and said: "I see, no wonder the Skeleton Yuanzun chased after us desperately that day, and said that the Seven Absolute Ones were in our hands, which made us confused, who knew that you were hiding it and hiding dirty goods!" ”

Elder Li Changjing's face turned red and said, "At that time, the situation was urgent, so it was too late to say." ”

"Too late? After returning to Zeyang City, I have so much spare time, why don't I see you say? Ice Charm stared at him.

Li Changjing was speechless.

"I think you're just trying to swallow it privately!" Ice Charm snorted, looked at the skeletal bone dragon speeding in front of him, and continued, "What's the matter with this dragon?" ”

Li Changjing honestly told what happened not long ago.

"So you saved me...... Ice Charm said as she looked at him.

Li Changjing was proud for a while, and said in a fog: "That's it, no matter what I say...... No, whatever I want it to do, it will obediently follow suit, and I still don't understand what it is. ”

Bing Mei pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Do you remember what happened in the Xuanyin Stream?" Afterwards, I went to inspect the corpse of the ironclad dragon turtle and found that its Dao tire was empty, could it be you......"

"Yes, I swallowed its golden pill." Li Changjing nodded and replied honestly.

"Sure enough!" Bing Mei gasped, her eyes flashed, and she said hurriedly: "Then think about it carefully, what is the color and shape of the Dragon Turtle Jindan?" ”

"This ......" Li Changjing scratched his head and thought hard: "That golden pill looks very weird, in fact, it should be more like some kind of bead, the veins fluctuate and the light flows, but it is similar to the Li bead described by Lu Li...... But what does it have to do with this bone dragon? ”

"Lizhu...... Osawa ...... The old skeleton demon ......" Ice Charm groaned again.

"Ahh Ice Charm's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Is that so?" ”

Li Changjing was startled, seeing that she seemed to have made a new discovery, he hurriedly asked, "What's how?" ”

"The predecessor of this bone dragon is the Lilong transformed by the 10,000-year-old green dragon, which was left in Daze by the true Buddha Li Changjing as the hub of prohibition and the spirit of suppressing evil, it stands to reason that such a powerful artifact should not be killed by the Skeleton Yuanzun, the only thing that can be explained is that this Lilong has been lost before coming to Daze Township." Ice Charm said slowly.

Li Changjing's mind was very confused, and he didn't sort out the relationship for a while, just listened blankly and didn't express his opinion.

Bing Mei said again: "When we fought against the Skeleton Yuanzun for the first time that night, there was a huge blood-colored bead under the jaw of this bone dragon, which was destroyed by me with a hairpin in the battle, do you remember?" ”

"Of course I remember, I'm still very impressed."

"Lizhu is the root of the power of the dragon, just like the soul of a person, it stands to reason that without Lizhu, it will lose its spiritual power, even if it does not die, it will be like a waste, but now, it is still good, not only can fly, the power is even stronger than before, think about it, why is this?"

"Why?" Li Changjing muttered to himself: "Yes, without Lizhu, it shouldn't be so vigorous." ”

"Because, now it has another pearl."

"Another Lizhu? Where is it? Li Changjing was puzzled and said.

"It's on you, maybe, in your belly." Ice Charm stared at him.

"What? In my belly! Li Changjing's eyes widened.

"Well, the dragon turtle golden pill you swallowed is the Lizhu, and nine times out of ten it is the original Lizhu of this dragon." Bing Mei said lightly.

"This, this ......?" Li Changjing was dumbfounded, and after Bing Mei's nudge, he had gradually sorted out some clues.

Sure enough, I only heard the ice charm whispered: "Legend has it that Lizhu is the root of the spirit source of the dragon, has its own wisdom, cultivates to a certain extent, and can even break away from the body without dying, I guess that this dragon should have had a big battle with the iron armored dragon turtle, and was defeated, so it was swallowed by the dragon turtle, and then it has always been regarded as his own inner dan." ”

"And this kind of strange thing......" Li Changjing covered his stomach, only feeling incredible.

Bing Mei continued: "And this dragon was greatly damaged because of the lack of Li Zhu, so it was captured by the skeleton old demon, refined into a demon dragon with evil methods, and then used something else...... Or how to refine a new pearl to replace the one it was robbed of. ”

Li Changjing was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that the blood-colored giant bead we saw last time?" ”。

Bing Mei nodded: "That's right, as a result, the substitute was destroyed by me, and by chance, this injured dragon met the original Li Zhu that lived in your belly, so it 'lived' again, so that it could communicate with your heart and obey you." ”

Li Changjing was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he said, "Through my belly, can this dragon blend with its Lizhu?" ”

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can try to leave this dragon far away, I believe it will lose its vitality and even life." Ice Charm Road.

Li Changjing's mouth was wide open, and he suddenly remembered the several strange hallucinations he had seen inexplicably when he met the bone dragon in the abyss underground, and he couldn't help but believe a little in his heart, and suddenly frowned, and said with a calm face: "Then will this bead pierce my stomach one day and escape back to that dragon?" ”

"I don't know, maybe I will!" Ice Charm grinned and looked at him playfully.

Li Changjing suddenly became uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "Bing Mei, is there any way for you to take out that bead?" ”

"Yes, cut it with a knife, first open the belly, then cut the intestines, and then dig it out with your hands, maybe you can find the bead that I don't know where to hide." Bing Mei said in a beautiful voice.

Li Changjing's face was pale, and he was as ugly as he was.

Ice Charm stared at him, and finally couldn't hold back her laughter, "Stupid! Haven't you heard of people looking around for Lizhu? This is a supreme treasure, Li Zhu has the effect of dispelling evil and reducing filth, and it has the effect of growing the Yuan Force, others can't ask for it, but you don't want it? ”

When Li Changjing heard this, he immediately remembered that his physique had become very powerful because of the Dragon Turtle Golden Pill, and he could heal quickly after several injuries, so he felt better.

Bing Mei said again: "Besides, if it weren't for this Lizhu, would you be able to control this powerful bone dragon?" Such an adventure, I really don't know how many lifetimes it can be cultivated, but do you still want to? ”

Li Changjing thought about it, if it weren't for this demon dragon, where would he be able to break the Skeleton Demon Army today, and compete with the Skeleton Yuanzun?

Thinking of this, he finally became happy, and said with a smile: "That's right, then I'll let this dragon's Lizhu stay in my stomach for the time being, as long as it doesn't make trouble, I won't chase it." ”

Bing Mei said: "Your strength is still so low, with this ......" Speaking of this, she suddenly frowned and covered her heart.

"What's wrong?" Li Changjing was taken aback, quickly thought of her injury, and said nervously: "How are you?" ”

"What a fart! What did you do to you when you threw me around in the car? Ice Grunt slightly, glaring at him in annoyance.

Li Changjing felt very guilty in his heart, and secretly scolded the damn Seven Absolute Falls, which made Bing Mei suffer so much, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out an ink-colored vial from his sleeve, and said: "It is said that this is the best healing medicine in the Demon Castle, you take it quickly." ”

"It's useless, just find a place and I'll just heal myself." Ice Charm gasped, her face already as pale as paper.

Li Changjing was extremely distressed, looked around, and found that the surrounding clouds and mist were ethereal, and he didn't know where he went, so he immediately drove the bone dragon down, and within a few minutes, he wore out the clouds and mist, but he saw that the water and land were intertwined below, and there were thousands of acres of green on the waterside of a bay, but there were large reeds.

Flying towards the shore, he finally found a narrow piece of land jutting into the water, and the ice ghost's breathing became more and more urgent, and he couldn't support it anymore, so he said, "That's it, I'll breathe first." ”

Li Changjing hurriedly swept down the dragon, only to hear the sound of the water loudly, and the skeletal bone dragon with a length of more than thirty meters had landed horizontally in the lake in front of the land.

There was still a distance of more than twenty meters from the shore here, Li Changjing looked at Bing Mei, hesitated for a moment, and then plucked up the courage to wrap his arms around her slender waist and leap out of the skeleton chariot.

Bing Mei was silent, her arms quietly wrapped around his waist, and she buried her reddish face in his arms with her eyes closed.

Li Changjing originally wanted to tread water to borrow strength, but who knew that this jump, the yuan force was turbulent and smooth, and he directly swept over the water surface of more than 20 meters and flew to the shore, as if the injuries from the previous beating by the skeleton Yuanzun were all healed, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

He scurried forward, finding a dry leeward spot, and then put the Ice Charm down.

Bing Mei meditated cross-legged, began to close her eyes and breathe, and her whole body was bathed in a faint white light, which should be healing with the unique internal method of Ice Immortal.

"Her injuries are not light, and the time to heal this time may not be short." Li Changjing breathed a sigh of relief, and simply stood by the side, recalling what happened today, and was stunned for a while.

I don't know if this is a part of Daze, but I see that the lake waves are soft and jade, and the reeds in the bay are clustered, spreading mightily into the distance, blending with the water and the sky into a vast blue like smoke, and in the clear sky, a few water birds are hovering high and low.

As the sun sinks, the cool breeze blows, the water surface is sparkling, and under the light of the setting sun, it becomes more and more beautiful like a dream.

Li Changjing suddenly felt a slight chill on his body, and was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Bing Mei, seeing that she was still meditating quietly, her broken clothes dancing lightly in the wind, and a large area of creamy skin exposed in the wind, she couldn't help but worry: "When the sun sets, it will definitely be colder here, and now she is very injured, how can she bear it?" ”

"I have to think of a way...... he muttered for a moment, and suddenly found a few gray spots in the distance, slightly abrupt in the vast reeds, and his heart moved, and he immediately used his body to fly over.

When I came closer, I suddenly felt a burst of joy, it turned out to be a few simple wooden houses built by the water, which should be the fisherman's residence here, so I wanted to find a few clothes to go back to Bingmei to wear.

Li Changjing walked over quickly, walked through the fence, but did not see half a figure, walked to the door, and saw that the door of the house was empty, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone?" Even shouting several times, no one answered, hesitated, still pushed the door in, and saw that the room was very messy, and sure enough, no one was there.

He turned around and went out to the other rooms, and found that they were all the same, and realized that it was the skeletons that caused trouble in Daze, so all the people here fled.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, the boss was not polite at the moment, so he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the house, and actually found a few clothes, although they were very coarse, but they were still clean, so he found a more suitable one, and picked out a set of women's clothes to hold in his arms, and rushed back according to the same place, seeing that Bingmei was still meditating with her eyes closed, she didn't dare to disturb, and walked up and gently draped her clothes on her.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the skeleton bone dragon was lying quietly in the lake, because it was extremely huge, most of its body was exposed on the water, and from a distance, it was like a rugged mountain standing in the vast water, which seemed a little lonely.

Li Changjing looked at it in a daze for a while, found a stone and sat down, bored and cranky, suddenly his face changed, and his heart said that this dragon is so huge, the magic bag sent by Xixia will definitely not be able to fit in, if I keep following my ass like this in the future, wouldn't everyone treat me as a monster?

The more Li Changjing thought about it, the more he felt a headache, and simply said to the bone dragon: "I'm sorry, brother, you are too big, I'm afraid it's not convenient to follow me, or our brothers should be separated, and go their separate ways, if there is a fate, he will meet again in the future, and he will be a pot of turbid wine......

But seeing that the bone dragon was still silently lurking, and it looked more and more desolate and lonely in the dark, he felt a little unbearable in his heart: "It has helped me so much, and it has saved me, if I drive it away, wouldn't it be unkind...... Besides, if you don't want it to follow, it doesn't have Lizhu with it, and if it's too far away from me, I'm afraid it will die, how can this be good? ”

His head was as big as a bucket, and when he was in great difficulty, he suddenly remembered that when Bing Mei used a hairpin to destroy its fake Li beads, the bone dragon was on the way down, and the huge body was shrinking all the time, and I remembered that I had seen it in some ancient books, the dragon gods can basically change the size of their bodies freely, and this bone dragon in front of me should be able to do it. Thinking of this, he immediately shouted to the skeleton bone dragon with his heart: "Can you become smaller?" If you can, show me it. ”

As soon as his mind moved, he saw that the body of the bone dragon in the water suddenly contracted, and in the blink of an eye, it was nearly twice smaller, and suddenly the sound of the water was noisy, and the waves were swinging, like a tide.

Li Changjing was dumbfounded, his heart was full of surprise, and he continued to shout in his heart: "Smaller!" ”

The bone dragon has magically shrunk a lot, and its size is already the size of a crocodile in a zoo, making it difficult to see in the dark.

"No, no, no, it's going to be smaller, let me see it!" Li Changjing's mind turned sharply.

The bone dragon vanished in an instant, leaving only the terrifying skeleton chariot on the water.

Li Changjing looked around and shouted towards the lake: "Where did you go?" Come and show me. ”

As soon as the words fell, the skeleton chariot flew into the water, and only stopped abruptly until it rushed in front of him, throwing him all over the water.

"Where the hell is it?" Li Changjing was inexplicable, and suddenly saw a flash of red light, and there was already a small snake-like thing hanging in front of him, with blood red all over his body, with teeth and claws, not a skeleton bone dragon.

Li Changjing was overjoyed, and Lang smiled: "You have such a wonderful ability, this is easy to do, from now on, our brothers will be inseparable!" Well, how about you take a break and go to my bag? As he spoke, he opened the magic bag and invited the bone dragon and the skeleton chariot in.

Although the skeleton chariot has not become smaller, the magic bag given to him by Xi Xia has an amazing capacity, which can fit 300 golden spirit bamboos, and it is natural that a chariot is not a problem.

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him, "The face is not red, but people are tens of millions of years old, are you embarrassed to call you a brother?" ”

Li Changjing hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that Bing Mei had already stood up, he said in surprise: "Bing Mei, are you injured?" ”

"How can it be so fast, but it can finally run the Yuan Force, and it will recover faster and faster." Ice Charm smiled.

Li Changjing said happily: "How long will it take to fully recover?" ”

"About three to five days." Bing Mei said, glancing at the clothes on her body, "Where did the clothes come from?" ”

Li Changjing pointed to the distance and said, "There are a few houses on the shore over there, it seems to be the home of a nearby fisherman, I don't know if it's because of the reason to escape the skull disaster, all of them are gone, so I found these clothes there for you to wear." ”

Bing Mei sighed and looked around, by this time it was completely dark, and the wind was strong, and the reeds rustled around.

"It's so cold here, why don't we go to the house and take shelter from the wind." Li Changjing said.

"Hmm." Ice Charm nodded.

————

The two picked a relatively large room to go into, Li Changjing fumbled to light an oil lamp with little residual oil, and went to clean the dust on the bed, let Bing Mei sit down, and began to explore around the house.

"What do you do?" Bing Mei asked.

"I'll look to see if there's anything to eat." Li Changjing responded, saw a jar in the southwest corner, walked up to take a look, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was still a little rice left at the bottom of the jar, and said happily: "Great, I found something to eat." ”

Then I found a small basket of dried mushrooms, it seems to be a specialty of horn mushrooms in the reeds in the Daze area, and then went out to wash the pots and bowls, wash the rice and make a fire, and then cook porridge and fried mushrooms.

The fisherman's house was very simple and cold, and the stove and bed were still located in the same room. Bing Mei sat quietly, watching him busy with interest.

Not long after, the porridge was cooked, and the mushrooms were fried, but because there was no oil to be found, the dry fried ones were scorched a lot, Li Changjing served them on a plate, served them on the table, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and helped Bingmei scoop the bowl of porridge, and said helplessly: "No oil and no salt, the taste should not be very good, you will eat some, and only when you are full will you have good luck and heal your wounds." ”

"Hmm." Bing Mei answered, got out of bed and sat down at the table, and took a sip of porridge and drank it.

In fact, with her current strength, she can completely rely on Pei Yuan to nourish her qi to resist hunger, but seeing that Li Changjing has been busy for a long time, she can't bear to refuse his kindness, so she plans to put on a show and eat two bites.

Who knows that although the texture of the rice for cooking porridge is rough, I don't know how Li Changjing got it, the taste is very good, drink it hot, the stomach is warm and very comfortable, the ice charm is very unexpected, and I drink it with relish.

"It can only be made so thin, the rice is too little." Li Changjing said uneasily.

Bing Mei shook her head and said, "It's very fragrant, I've never eaten such a good porridge, I didn't expect you to have this hand." ”

"Really?" Li Changjing is actually very confident in his cooking skills, like Miss Xu, who likes to eat his barbecue very much, but being able to get praise from Bing Mei still makes him very happy.

After eating, the residual oil in the oil lamp was almost exhausted, and the flames were fluttering and shaking, as if they would be extinguished at any moment.

Li Changjing had no choice but to look for something to burn, and after a while, he brought back a large pile of wood from other rooms, but it was the legs and feet of the tables and chairs that were removed from the furniture.

He made a clearing in the house, arranged the pile of lumber into a cone, and with a flick of his fingers, the pith of the fire immediately ignited the pyre.

Li Changjing was a little embarrassed and said: "No way, I can't find dry firewood, so I have to use these." ”

Bing Mei smiled: "Be careful when people come back, curse you behind your back." ”

"The skeletons are so harmful, I wonder if they will come back......" Li Changjing sighed, and suddenly became worried, "I don't know how Zeyang City is now, are they injured in Rourou and Changyu?" ”
