Chapter 37: Suicide
I don't know how long it took, Arira felt an itch on his face, and there was a wailing sound of "woo woo lur" in his ears, and he finally woke up gradually.
Mei Niang kept licking with her big, soft hot tongue, and when she saw Arira open her eyes, she immediately screamed in surprise with "meow", and her eyes were full of tears.
At this moment, Youliang was no longer aware of the coldness in his body, but instead felt a true qi repeatedly hitting his meridians, and the damaged parts of his hands were transmitted to bursts of numbness.
Where is this? Am I still alive? Youliang sat up slowly, turned his head and saw that the fire had long been extinguished, and there was a skeleton that Zeng Jing had already charred on it.
"How long have I been asleep?" He reached out and touched the cool charcoal ash and muttered to himself.
"Meow meow." Mei Niang shouted happily on the side.
Youliang remembered the cold black gas he inhaled, and the "Yin Devouring Needle" mentioned in Zeng Jingxue's book, but he did not freeze to death like him, indicating that the "Bardo Sucking Corpse Dafa" in his body does have the effect of resisting or neutralizing. Now the numbness in the broken meridians of the hands is likely to be in the repair process, it seems that what Liu Shisan said is true, and the "devouring needle" can indeed connect the meridians.
He stood up, moved his muscles and felt very energetic, so he picked up the suede bag on the ground and began to pick up Zeng Jing's ashes inside. The gray-colored charred skeleton turned into powder at the touch, and Arira carefully gathered it all away, filled a full bag, and then tied the bag tightly and tied it to his belt, at this moment, he found that his hands were much stronger than before when he tied the bag.
But how can I get out of the mural, there is no Erya, and there is no witch cicada token, Zeng Jing said that the fusion of yin and yang two needles can rush out of the void, and now there are none of these, and you feel at a loss, at this time, your stomach is also gurgling, and the hunger and thirst in your stomach are unbearable.
"Let's go, Mei Niang, we have to find something to eat." Youliang said that through this life and death tribulation, he no longer has prejudices against Mei Niang, no matter what, in the void of this Wuxian country, he is still a companion after all.
"Meow." Mei Niang screamed and limped towards the woods, followed by Youliang.
He stopped in front of an unknown giant tree, and looked up, and the dense canopy was covered with red egg-sized fruit, and the husk that Mei Niang used to feed herself under the altar was exactly the same as this fruit.
"Meow." Mei Niang asked him to wait at the bottom, and he "swished" up the tree, although he only had three and a half legs, he was still very flexible, and soon he got into the crown of the tree and threw red fruits down, and in a short time, the ground was already full.
Mei Niang came down and picked up the red fruit, bit open the shell and handed it to Youliang, tasted it and felt that the entrance was sweet and crisp and very delicious, so they had a full stomach of red fruits, and they were finally not hungry.
Back to Zeng Jing's "Zhu Ying's corpse" small cave, Youliang yawned, felt sleepy and took a nap, Mei Niang obediently got into his arms and dozed off.
The time in the void of Wuxian Kingdom seemed to stand still, and when Arira woke up, the sun was still in its old position in the sky. In the following days, he and Mei Niang walked all over the streets and alleys here, eating some wild fruits when they were hungry, and drinking water from the stream when they were thirsty, but they never found another way back to the world, nor did they see a living person who could talk to them.
Arira stared at the sky silently, although he inhaled the "Devouring Yin Needle", but without the Yang Needle, he still couldn't break through the void, and he would be trapped in the same "Ten Witches" feng shui puzzle and couldn't get out.
Suddenly, he shivered, and then a bone-chilling coldness burst out from the depths of his body, gradually spreading everywhere along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, although his mind was struggling to resist, it was still to no avail. First the fingers and toes began to stiffen, then the arms and thighs, and finally a layer of white frost all over the body froze like an iceman, and fell to the ground.
I don't know how long it took for him to finally wake up again.
"Meow" turned out that Mei Niang had been staying by his side, and when she saw her open her eyes, she was so happy that she shed tears.
Arirashi sat up slowly, stretched his limbs and moved freely, and a trace of cold in his body was gone. He seems to understand a little, one attack of the cold qi of the "Yin Devouring Needle" will cost the life of Zeng Jing, who is a martial artist, and he doesn't know martial arts at all, but he can resist two attacks, which must be the role of the "Bardo Sucking Corpse Dafa" to resist and resist. However, Dafa still can't completely eliminate the cold of the yin needle, and there may be intermittent attacks in the future, until the "devouring yang needle" is found, and the two needles can be finally resolved in one.
However, his hands are getting better day by day, the meridians and tendons are gradually healing, and it seems that it will not take long to recover as before.
On this day, he woke up leaning on the cave of "Zhu Ying's corpse", and accidentally caught a glimpse of a piece of moss skin falling from the top of the cave, revealing a rock, and there were grooves and scratches on it that looked like handwriting. He stood up and scraped away all the turquoise moss from the roof of the cave with his hands, and sure enough, a line appeared.
These eight characters are drawn out on the hard rock with his fingers, although the handwriting is not deep, but it also shows the incredible internal strength of the person who engraved the letter, and he must be a person with extremely advanced martial arts.
"If you break the illusion, you must kill yourself first." What does it mean to have a silent conscience? Do you say that if you want to return to the world, you must first commit suicide, but what difference does it make if you can't go back if you are dead?
He stared at the old man for a long time, still puzzled, but found that the handwriting was exactly the same as the one in the blood book, and it seemed that it was also written by Zeng Jing.
But committing suicide, Youliang smiled bitterly, if it was written when Zeng Jing was unconscious, wouldn't he have died in vain?
With the passage of time, during this period, the cold air of "devouring yin needle" has flare-up a few times, the interval seems to be getting shorter and shorter, and the mood of Youliang is becoming more and more depressed, and even lying in the hole is reluctant to move the nest, fortunately, there is Mei Niang to accompany her, often pick some fruits to eat, but not hungry.
"Mei Niang, it's meaningless to live like a walking corpse like this, maybe one day you won't be able to wake up after you freeze, it's really better to wait for death like this than to commit suicide." Arira rubbed the mane on its neck and sighed helplessly.
"Meow." Mei Niang also hummed listlessly.
"You think so, don't you? Let's go, let's go to the top of the mountain and have a look. "You Liang listlessly took Mei Niang to climb the highest mountain behind him.
Standing on top of the peaks, the breeze was blowing, and the people were a little sober. Looking down, there are thousands of cliffs at your feet, the river is like a thin ribbon winding at the bottom of the deep valley, the white clouds drift between the valleys, and the head is dizzy.
If you close your eyes and jump down, wouldn't it be a hundred, Nizi and Erya seem to be people from another world far away, which one is real?
Step by step, he moved towards the edge of the cliff
"Meow." Mei Niang screamed in horror, rushed in front of him, stretched out her two front paws to stop him, and did not let him continue to walk.
Youliang smiled bitterly, and muttered in his mouth: "Mei Niang, I really don't want to be trapped here for the rest of my life, you better get out of the way." ”
"Meow meow." Mei Niang's eyes flashed with tears, she looked at him sadly, and suddenly rushed forward and hugged Youliang's ankle tightly, and dragged him back desperately, screaming in her mouth.
Youliang's heart is like ashes at the moment, the rolling mountains on the other side of the river in his sight, the clear blue sky, the ethereal white clouds, is there the Blue Moon Valley? Niko, how are you doing now?
He fell suddenly, softly opening his arms, like a Himalayan eagle on a snowy plateau, swimming freely in the sky, Mei Niang's eyes closed and hugged his thighs and fell into the abyss together
It was pitch black in front of him, and with a "poof" sound, Youliang fell heavily to the ground, and his bones ached.
Am I dead? Youliang's head couldn't turn around all of a sudden, and at this moment, Mei Niang's surprised "meow" cry came from his ears.
He slowly opened his eyes, and his tentacles were cold stones, a piece of fluorite was high embedded in the top of the stone cave, and in the hazy light, a stone statue with eyes on its forehead stood not far away.
"Wu Pan" Youliang suddenly woke up, this is the stone cave in the mountain of the ruins of Qingliang Temple in Gongchuan.
"Meow." Mei Niang let out a lingering wail, and she crawled there in pain rubbing the rotting corpses of the cats on the ground, which had been slaughtered by Sun Yifeng last time.
Ari Liang sat on the ground, and finally understood the meaning of Zeng Jing's "If you break the illusion, you must kill yourself first" on the top of the cave of "Zhu Ying's corpse", and committing suicide in the void will not really die, but will pass through the node where illusion and reality intersect, and return to the original earthly world.
Zeng Jing, what kind of person is this? With such an extraordinary mind and wisdom, he is not inferior to Sun Simiao, the medicine king who set up this mystery.
Youliang came to Mei Niang's side, squatted down and gently stroked and comforted her.
Now that he has been freed from the "Ten Witches of the Dragon's Drum", but I don't know what happened after Sun Yifeng coerced Erya to come out, where are Secretary Xing and Ke'er now? What will happen in the "Zhu Yingcorpse" cave on the Goddess Peak? This is Lantian in Shaanxi, which is thousands of miles away from Wushan, and I can't catch up with it at this time.
Youliang pondered, it seems that it is better to go to Zengjiazhuang in Anren County, Chenzhou first, he has not had a day, maybe he will die suddenly one day, don't delay sending Zeng Jing's ashes back to his hometown, since he promised others, he must fulfill his promise.
Now that he has returned to the world, as long as he finds Sun Yifeng and grabs the yang needle, he will be saved by the combination of the two needles, and now no one knows about the "devouring yin needle", Lao Bai They must think that they are still trapped in the mural and will never be able to get out.
Now it seems that the meridians of both hands have almost recovered, and I need to find a chance to give it a try, if the "Bardo Sucking Corpse Dafa" can be used, I will secretly start in the dark, and I should be able to deal with Sun Yifeng.
After a long time, Youliang stood up and left the cave silently with Mei Niang.
