Chapter 705: Self-control
Originally, I planned to walk along the upstream again, one to see if there were any strange trees with eye lines on the other side, and on the other hand, I also wanted to distance myself from the fairies.
But when Xian'er saw me walking upstream, she called me from behind: "Zuo Youdao, where are you going?" ”
I turned my head to look at her and said, "I'll go upstream." ”
Xian'er pointed to the river behind her: "You go downstream." ”
I wondered, "Why?" ”
Xian'er gave me a big roll of her eyes again: "If you take a bath upstream, the water that flows down will be dirty, how can I wash it with Luo Fei!" ”
My mind was still chaotic, and I didn't think much about it, so I went downstream according to Xian'er's wishes.
The fog in the canyon was very large, and I walked out of less than ten meters before I couldn't see Xian'er and Luo Fei at all, so I went to the river and prepared to enter the water, when Xian'er's voice came from the fog: "Zuo Youdao, where are you?" ”
I answered, "It's about ten meters away from you." ”
"No, no, it's too close, if you stay farther away, it will take twenty meters to be enough." Xian'er shouted.
I could also hear Luo Fei laughing.
I also went into the water first, and then waded through the river and walked downstream for more than ten meters, before turning my head and shouting at Xian'er: "Twenty meters!" ”
Xian'er let out an "oh" from afar, and then I heard the sound of splashing water upstream, and it seemed that the two of them had also gone down the river.
Did they go down the river without undressing like me, or did they ...... when I was just walking downstream
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I quickly sank my head into the water and suppressed the evil fire that surged in my head with the cool air of the river.
"Calm your heart, your heart will not be extinguished, your heart will be calm, your heart will not be destroyed."
I repeated this recitation, and finally drove away the evil thoughts in my heart, but when I raised my head from the water, some strange pictures began to appear in my mind, despite so many years of practice, but I am also a normal man, the two of them made a constant sound of water in the upper reaches of the river, and my heart will inevitably throb.
It was absolutely a lie for me to say that I didn't want to peek, but I'm also a person who has been practicing for so many years, and I still have some self-control.
At the time, I told myself repeatedly that it was disgusting to peek at a big girl taking a shower, but no matter how much I suggested to myself, I didn't think it was really disgusting.
Later, I used both the Three Corpses Technique and the Meditation Meditation, and I finally calmed down my mind.
My mind was still messy just now, but now that my mind is quiet, my mind has become blank.
I washed my dirty clothes one by one, laid a pebble on the bank of the river, put my clothes on it, and then sat down in the water, staring at the fog in front of me.
As soon as I had dug out the horns and ingots, the flow of the river slowed down, and I sat down in the middle of the channel, letting the cold water pass by me, taking heat away from me little by little.
I don't know how long I was stunned, until the chill on my body was heavy, and it woke me up.
There was nothing going on, and I began to think back to what had just happened, and when I heard the voices of the First Ancestor and Master, it was not my hallucination, they did appear in my mind, but I really can't catch their breath now.
After Master's death, has his soul always been by my side, but why didn't I perceive it in the past, and the first ancestor, Master always said that she left a wisp of residual soul in the black water corpse coffin, but on weekdays, I can't feel her breath.
When I came here, was it really arranged by the first ancestor a long time ago, the scenes that the old white head saw, and the things that his stupid son dreamed of, maybe, were also made by the first ancestor to let them see and dream.
While thinking about this, I used the technique of carrying the corpse to condense the black water corpse coffin on my fingertips, but this time, I felt that the Qi field on the fingertips was obviously a little weak.
I felt that after I had refined the usual ten times the Qi field at one time, the Black Water Corpse Coffin seemed to have become very tired, and when I refined the Qi field from above again, not only was the amount of Qi much smaller, but the refining was not as smooth as the last time, and it stumbled.
Worried that the Black Water Corpse Coffin would not be able to withstand the excessive consumption of the Qi Field, I immediately stopped and returned the Qi Field on the tip of my finger to the Black Water Corpse Coffin.
In the past, I thought that the Qi field on the coffin of the black water corpse was infinite, but now it seems that this is not the case.
I wondered why the First Ancestor and Master would let me touch that silver ingot, for me now, whether it is dealing with evil corpses and other cultivators, I rarely use the Black Water Corpse Coffin, and the Fantian Seal and the Blue Steel Sword are my main weapons.
Nowadays, the biggest effect of the Black Water Corpse Coffin for me is to dissolve the evil qi that invades the body, but it doesn't need to consume much Qi field.
Just when I was puzzled, Xian'er's voice came from the upstream side: "Zuo Youdao, have you finished washing?" ”
I came back to my senses and replied, "Almost." ”
Xian'er: "Have you washed your clothes?" ”
I responded, "Washed." ”
"You put your clothes by the river, and then close your eyes, I don't let you open your eyes, don't open them." As Xian'er spoke, there was a sound of rushing water from upstream.
Anyway, the clothes were originally left by the river, so I simply closed my eyes and wondered what Xian'er was going to do.
Not long after, I heard the sound of clattering footsteps on the riverbank, and without thinking much about it, I opened my eyes and looked in the direction from which the footsteps came.
Xian'er happened to walk up to me, and when I saw her, she was picking up my clothes.
The white foxtail was wrapped around her like a bath towel, revealing only her shoulders, arms, and two slender legs.
Seeing me looking at her, she immediately glared at me: "I knew you were going to peek." ”
Before I could speak, she grabbed a large handful of mud and smeared it all over my face.
I sank my face in the water, quickly washed off the mud, and when I looked up again, Xian'er had already carried my clothes and left.
As soon as I saw that the clothes were taken away by her, I immediately became nervous: "What are you doing with my clothes?" ”
In the mist, Xian'er's response came: "Help you dry it, how to wear it when it's wet!" ”
I thought about it too, just took a cold shower, and then wore those soaked clothes, no matter how good my physique was, I would catch a cold.
About ten minutes later, Xian'er sent my clothes back again, and she didn't squint when she came, as if she was afraid of seeing me.
When Xian'er was gone, I went ashore, dressed, and packed up my shoes, and seeing that it was not early, I called Xian'er and Luo Fei back to the village.
The two of them dragged on for a long time to come to me, and as soon as Xian'er came over, she asked me, "Tell me the truth, did you peek just now?" ”
Of course, I wouldn't tell her that I did have this urge just now, but I just pretended to say, "It's all two arms and two legs, what's so beautiful." ”
Xian'er smiled maliciously: "Then what are you blushing for?" ”
I said, "I was hit by you when I blushed, so it's good that it didn't swell." ”
Xian'er was stunned for a moment, then randomly reached out again and pinched my arm.
I didn't understand at the time: "No, what kind of nerves did you have today, why did you start again?" ”
Xian'er looked at me with a look of hatred for iron and steel, but said to Luo Fei: "Alas, I really don't want to pay attention to this elm head, or let's not want him." ”
Luo Fei just laughed and didn't speak.
I asked Xian'er, "How can I listen to you like this, as if I still want me to peek?" ”
Xian'er punched me hard in the shoulder: "Dream on you, stinky rascal!" ”
When she was done, she grabbed Luo Fei and walked downstream with a grin.
I stood alone, feeling inexplicable, until Xian'er and Luo Fei saw that they were about to walk into the fog, and I hurried to catch up with them.
I was going to go back to the old Baitou's house directly after leaving the canyon, but Xian'er shouted that the food of the old Baitou's house was not delicious, and I had to eat another meal of grilled fish, and I was so entangled by her that I had no choice but to satisfy her.
After eating, the sky was already dark, I took the two of them back to the village entrance to take a look, there was no sign of the sealing array, and the seal of the sky was also placed on the side of the array.
I stood in the position of the eye of the formation, took out the black horn in my backpack, and looked at the tulou again.
Luo Fei was standing next to me at that time, she looked at the horn in my hand, and then at the sharp stone at the top of the earthen building, and said to herself, "Sure enough, it is exactly the same." ”
I nodded: "Let's go, go to the tulou and have a look." ”
When I walked in the direction of the tulou, I found that the humidity in the village was much lighter, and there were several sections of the stone road where there were no water droplets at all.
Climbing all the way to the top of the mountain, I found that the perimeter of the tulou was surrounded by a stone wall nearly one meter high, with no gaps or doors, just a bare wall.
Luo Fei said thoughtfully: "Why don't you open the door on the wall, the locals fence the tulou, it seems that they don't want people to go up." ”
I carefully sensed the Qi field in the tulou to confirm that there was no evil spirit, and then I climbed over the stone wall and took Xian'er and Luo Fei into the door.
I thought there would be many floors in the tulou, but when I came in, I found that this 20-meter-high tulou was like a capped chimney.
It seems a bit unreasonable that such a hollow structure of the earth building can withstand the strong wind on the top of the mountain.
I went out of the building and took a closer look at the exterior wall of the tulou, although it is called a "tulou", the whole building is not made of mud, its main building material is still cut into bluestone bricks of the same size, and the gaps between the bricks are plastered with grout.
I guess these things that look like dry mud are the key to the tulou standing still.
I took out the dagger and tried to make a few scratches in the brick joints, and the "mud" became very hard after condensation, and the sharp dagger was cut through it, leaving only a very shallow scratch.
Luo Fei looked up at the roof and asked me, "Do you want to go up?" ”
As I put down my backpack and took out the climbing tools from it, I responded, "There are only a limited number of trekking spikes, so it's only enough for one person to go up." I'll go up and have a look, you two will be waiting for me down there." ”
Xian'er also leaned over, glanced at my backpack, and said with some concern: "Then you can be careful, I feel that this building is not so easy to climb." ”
I emptied the contents of my backpack, leaving only the trekking pegs, and slung the steel rope over my shoulder, smiling at Xian'er and Luo Fei: "Later, if I fall, you two will have to pick me up." ”
Xian'er: "I'm not, you're so heavy, if you really fall, you have to smash the two of us to death." ”
I didn't reply, walked to the tulou, and tried to drive the pegs into the cracks between the heads, but the dry pulp was too hard for even the pegs to pierce it, and the bluestone bricks were too hard to chisel holes.
In desperation, I had no choice but to use my green steel sword to poke a crack in the brick before punching the pegs into it.
The number of trekking pegs that Liu Shangang prepared for me was limited, so I had to save some of them, and the length of the steel rope was only 10 meters. Every time I had to just raise my hands and hit the pegs near the highest point I could reach, then grab the pegs and do pull-ups, carefully climbing up until I was ten meters above the ground, and then I started to protect myself with a tightrope.
