Chapter 10 Refining
The body was soaked in the extremely icy lake, and the fire grapes in Bu Zheng's body seemed to feel provoked, and the scorching fire suddenly erupted, making Bu Zheng even though he was in the ice lake, and the whole person was as hot and shiny as a fire, and from a distance, it looked like a fireball floating on the water.
"Don't just focus on soaking, use your exercises to calm the flames, let the heat energy follow your true qi, merge into your flesh and blood, and let it become a part of your body. Otherwise, the fire grapes of hundreds of years can burn you alive with their inflammatory power. The man with a charred face reminded him, but his tone was full of regret. This should have been a creation for him, if someone hadn't had to practice the Lie Yang Gong Body to get out of this ghost place, he would have strangled Bu Zheng to death now.
Hearing the guidance of the south wind, Bu Zheng carried the core exercise of Taixuanmen, Dao Xuangui Yuan Sutra, and for a while, the fiery flame that was originally like a flood raging in all directions of the river was suddenly guided, and it flowed in the meridians of Bu Zheng's whole body in the direction of the true qi flow, and penetrated into every inch of Bu Zheng's flesh and blood little by little.
Bu Zheng's body floated and fell on the surface of the lake, the coldness of the lake water made him no longer so painful, and his whole body exuded a bright red glow, like the rising sun from the sea in the early morning, red and full of vitality.
"Nanfeng, why do I still feel so much pain?" After about four or five hours, Bu Zheng had already absorbed most of the energy of the fire grapes, and the pain that had gradually faded before suddenly came up again. It used to be a burning pain from being burned by fire, but now it feels like the pain of being bitten by something.
Nanfeng ended: "The pain is normal, this is a necessary process for refining the fire grapes, bear with it, it will be fine for a while." ”
Bu Zheng: "Won't it hurt for a while?"
Nanfeng: "No, you'll be numb in a moment." ”
Bu Zheng: "......"
After a while, Bu Zheng felt as if something had crawled on him, wrapping around his calves, cold and slippery to the touch. He curiously stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and took out the water to see that it was actually a black snake, which opened its mouth at him, and a cold mist rushed straight in.
Bu Zheng held the snake and shouted: "South wind, there are snakes in the lake?"
"You're wrong, it's a water weed, the pain makes you hallucinate, don't be afraid. Nanfeng Duan explained, in the dark night, Bu Zheng couldn't see Nanfeng hiding in the darkness covering his mouth and snickering, as if the conspiracy had succeeded, his expression was refreshing.
"Really?" Bu Zheng was a little puzzled, was he already hallucinating in pain? As soon as he let go of his hand, who knew that an arrow from the water grass in the mouth of the south wind bit him on the ear.
"Ah!!" Bu Zheng pinched the black snake to death and pulled him off his ear, the fierce snake venom had already stimulated the ear to swell, and it was two as big as the ear on the other side.
"Nanfeng, you lied to me, it's not an illusion. Bu Zheng noticed that more and more snakes were swimming towards him in the lake, their tongues stretched and hissed, and the scalps of hundreds of people who had gathered together to listen were numb.
Bu Zheng was so frightened that he flew out of the sky and immediately swam towards the shore. Unexpectedly, the south wind found a thick log from nowhere, stood on the shore, and pushed Bu Zheng, who intended to go ashore, back into the lake.
"Hahaha! Boy, do you think that grandpa's fire grapes were given to you for nothing, you ruined my chance, see if I don't kill you. ”
Nanfeng laughed wildly on the shore, looking crazy, he brandished his long stick to beat back Bu Zheng, who wanted to go ashore several times, watching the corners of his mouth twitch when he was bitten by the snake, and his heart was extremely happy.
"You knew there were snakes here. Bu Zheng was almost crazy, there were black snakes in the water that kept biting him, and the south wind who killed a thousand knives jumped and jumped with a broken stick to prevent him from going ashore. A snake desperately burrowing into his back door gave way to Zheng was completely angry, he grabbed the long stick that Nanfeng had hit him, pulled it hard, and dragged Nanfeng down.
When the black snake saw that someone had fallen into the water again, he immediately rushed up. Bu Zheng suddenly relieved a lot of pressure, he wanted to swim ashore, but he didn't want the south wind to hold him to the ground and prevent him from running.
He also grabbed a black snake from the water and threw it in Bu Zheng's face. The black snake bit him on the nose, and his nose was swollen like an apple. Nanfeng was still laughing on the side, and the angry Bu Zheng also grabbed a snake, and the snake's head was stuffed into Nanfeng's lips, and Nanfeng immediately had two lips as thick as roasted sausages.
How could Nanfeng, who had suffered a loss, let go of Bu Zheng easily, the two kept catching snakes from the water and biting each other's bodies, the fight was inextricable, the scene was chaotic, and the battle was tragic.
At the same time, Bu Zheng didn't realize that his body had an inexplicable reaction, and the flame power of the fire grapes gradually merged into Bu Zheng's flesh and blood in order to fight against the biting cold of the lake and the fierce cold poison of the black snake, turning into a part of his body.
The two of them spewed anger in their eyes, and they fought endlessly, until they couldn't catch a snake in their hands, and their brains eased up.
At this time, the two of them were no different from the wild boars of hundreds of catties in the mountains and forests, standing in the lake without swimming, and their swollen bodies floated up by themselves.
Bu Zheng's eye was swollen like a light bulb, and he couldn't see anything anymore. The two sausages on Nanfeng's mouth kept slapping, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.
At this time, the water surface fluctuated, and there seemed to be a behemoth at the bottom of the lake stirring the waves. Nanfeng seemed to think of something, and ran to the shore without looking back, shouting vaguely "Run, run." Bu Zheng didn't dare to hesitate and chased after him.
On the altar of the Lieyang tribe, a pile of flames rose, Bu Zheng and Nanfeng sat around the fire, and several black snakes were strung up by them and grilled on the fire.
The south wind stirred the fire with its branches, hoping to make the flame stronger. Bu Zheng looked at the sizzling black snake that was roasted by the fire and asked, "What kind of place is this?"
"The ancestral land of the Lieyang clan. You don't even know that, how did you get in?"
Bu Zheng told Nanfeng everything he had experienced, Nanfeng nodded and said: "What happened to me is different from yours, I found this Lieyang clan in the ancient books of the sect, you don't know, when this clan was once strong, there were few opponents in the entire Xuanzhou Continent. It's a pity that he encountered a demon disaster and was almost wiped out.
I'm a person who likes adventure, and I am addicted to those unexpected gains. The dusty Lieyang people piqued my interest. So I came here thousands of miles away, and I also tracked down the descendants of Lieyang, that is, the group of villagers you mentioned. After a long period of investigation, I discovered the secret of the soul seal, and I also used the soul seal to break the seal and enter here.
But who would have thought that as soon as the soul mark entered here, it flew into the scorching sun underground, maybe this is what the group of villagers said about the soul returning to the sky. Oh, and I'm talking about the sun, which is beneath the mountain, and it's something that burns like the sun. The wonders you see are caused by the scorching sun.
Every ten years, the scorching sun will erupt the energy it has accumulated to replenish the power consumed by the seal, so that the demons who did not die in that great war will be trapped here forever, unable to harm the world.
Anyway, the soul seal returned to Tianyang, and the final result was that I came in, but I couldn't get out. That's 10 years!"
After listening to the story of the south wind, Bu Zheng was not very angry, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong, his soul mark seemed to have fallen into the hole next to the altar, could it be that it was also sucked away by the scorching sun, so wouldn't he be trapped here.
Nanfeng listened to Bu Zheng's worries, and said with a smile: "This is the reason why I would rather give you the fire grapes than let it wither and dissipate! I have been trapped here for ten years, and I have checked all the classics of the Lieyang Clan, and found that this seal can only be unlocked by the power of the same origin as the Lieyang Clan, so if you want to go out, you must practice the Lieyang Gong Body." We are not from the Lieyang clan, so we must use the flame power of the fire grapes to have hope of cultivating. If this fire grape is gone, it will only have to wait another ten years. ”
Bu Zheng's head nodded, it turned out that all the reasons were like this. "You said there are demons sealed here, why didn't I see anything unusual?"
"The scorching sun has only erupted tonight, and those demons have hid from the power of the scorching sun. But it won't be long before they reappear, and we must hurry up this time to get you into the Flame Yang Body so we can all get out of here. ”
Bu Zheng took down a roasted black snake, ate the snake meat in a big gulp, and listened to Nanfeng ask: "The cold lake water just now, and the cold poison of the black snake are all good things to help you absorb the energy of the fire grapes." Do you still feel hot right now?"
Bu Zheng shook his head, "There is no longer that feeling of burning my heart, and my body is warm, like a warm furnace." ”
"Well, it seems that the fire grapes have been completely integrated into your flesh and blood, eat well and rest well, tomorrow we will start cultivating the training of the Lie Yang Body. ”
