Chapter 40: Getting Out of Trouble
Behind the Jinguangmen Hall, the pool hidden by the trees was calm and waveless, and a faint mist drifted on the water, enveloping a small bridge in a haze. Through the clear water of the pool, the fist-sized pebbles on the bottom of the pool are regularly arranged into a pattern, and under closer inspection, it is a big bird with wings ready to fly, with a sharp beak and sharp claws, which is quite strange.
Suddenly, there was a sound of vibration from the bottom of the water, and a ripple was struck on the surface of the water, so that the giant bird shape made of pebbles actually moved. Gradually, bubbles continued to emerge from the giant bird's body, and more and more, and more and more, and in an instant, the water of the entire pool of water stirred as if it were boiling.
With the gurgling sound, the fog above the water surface became thicker and thicker, and suddenly a blue light rose from the bottom of the water, and in the column of water that soared into the sky, a figure fell into the trees next to it. Immediately after, a roar came from the forest.
"Ah...... Hot, hot to death. Constantly dancing his hands to fan his body, Li Ding gasped for breath. When he finally settled down to see the situation around him, his face showed a relaxed expression for the rest of his life.
The sky is slightly bright, it should be early in the morning, this is obviously the edge of the Lingyan Pond behind the main hall, although I don't understand why it appears here, but I can't allow Li Ding to think too much. He sat on the ground, shook his head, and said, "It's such a terrible place, it's finally come out." ”
"It's finally coming out. Before Li Ding's last sentence was finished, a childish voice said at the same time.
Li Ding was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look around and said, "Who?" But there was nothing else in the forest except for the rustling sound of the leaves swaying. In a daze, Li Ding suddenly remembered the previous scene, in the blazing heat, his body was being tortured at that time, but the next moment he returned here inexplicably, what happened in the middle?
Thinking of the tragic torture and inhuman pain, Li Ding couldn't help but tremble all over, and a cold sweat broke out. Looking at his intact body, Li Ding reached out and touched his heart.
"Don't touch me. The childish voice from before suddenly sounded. Li Ding was taken aback, but he also affirmed that he had heard correctly, there was indeed something here, but he couldn't figure out what this thing was. Li Ding frowned, and his hand stretched out to his heart again.
"I said don't touch me. The immature voice was obviously angry, and Li Ding suddenly realized that something was wrong, because the voice came from his heart.
"Useless waste, I've checked it, and there's nothing in your body except for a trace of wood surname vitality. But that's fine, I don't have to stay in that lava world anymore, and although I can go out with that old thing for two days every five years, I still have to go back underground in the end, but today I'm finally out there. The childish voice gushed endlessly.
"What the hell are you?" Li Ding asked with his mouth wide open as he heard these strange words.
"You don't need to know what I am, although you devoured me with that divine power from unknown places, and you were also imprisoned, but you still can't trap me, one day I will break through this imprisonment, and then I will destroy your mind and take your body. The immature voice said viciously.
Hearing this, Li Ding only felt a buzzing sound in his head. What kind of divine power, devouring, and what the hell is this, how can it run into his body, listening to the meaning of this thing's words, it is obviously a scourge, and he may kill himself at any time.
How should this be good, Li Ding suddenly thought of someone, maybe he would do it, this person is naturally Huayang, the master of the Medicine Hall.
"Don't think about what to do with me, I'm now fused with your heart, and if I miss the slightest bit, you'll have to finish it right away. And you'd better not let people know about my existence, or you'll ...... You're going to die fast. It seemed to be able to see through Li Ding's thoughts, the thing said, and his voice was full of threat.
Li Ding was stunned for a moment, only to feel an extremely oppressive feeling in his chest again, as if it had become difficult to breathe.
"Hee-hee, scared, all you have to do now is be obedient, or I'll kill you at any time. The childish voice continued to threaten.
Although he didn't understand what it was, Li Ding calmed down instantly. Gritting his teeth and thinking for a while, Li Ding said lightly: "I don't care what you are, according to your meaning, if you have a little mistake, I have to finish the game immediately, so does it mean that if I make a little mistake, you will finish the game immediately?"
"You ......" Maybe I didn't expect Li Ding to say this, and the thing suddenly stopped.
Li Ding's thoughts were obviously confirmed, but he didn't feel any relief. A strange thing claims to have run into his heart, and although there is no great abnormality on the surface, no one will be calm as if nothing had happened.
However, the most important thing for Li Ding to solve at the moment is that he is still naked, and there is no way to go out to meet people like this. Fortunately, it was not yet dawn at this time, and no one would come here early in the morning, and no one dared to pass through here to go up to Feiyuan Pavilion without receiving instructions.
Cautiously rushing out of the woods, Li Ding quickly passed through the deep cave along the route in his memory, pulled out the small door and looked out, and found that the hall was cleaned very clean, but fortunately there was no one.
Li Ding had never been so weak-hearted, and when he passed by the three statues, he didn't dare to look up, as if the three stone statues would laugh at him. Finally touched the side door of the main hall along the corner of the wall, but suddenly heard footsteps outside, and there were quite a few people, and he was startled, so he could only hide behind a statue quickly.
Through the gap on the side of the statue, Li Ding saw that the person who came was Hu Yishu, the master of the Yuanqi Hall, and there were four other disciples of Jinguangmen, He Daren, Zhang Xiuyuan, and Qiu Xingwu, who he knew, and there was also a burly man Li Ding, but it was the first time he saw it. After a few people stood still, Hu Yishu said coldly to the four people below: "The re-examination and selection will be held in a while, are everything ready? I don't want those little accidents yesterday to happen." ”
He Daren nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Master Hu, all the preparations have been checked repeatedly, there is absolutely no problem, and all the families have already sent people to invite them." Then the other three began to talk about other things in turn.
"I don't want to be next to this damn thing. Just as Hu Yishu was talking to He Daren and others, that immature voice suddenly sounded in Li Ding's ears, and Li Ding was so startled that Li Ding hurriedly covered his mouth, but he suddenly reacted that it was useless, because the words were not what he said.
However, what made Li Ding happy was that Hu Yishu and the others seemed to be talking very seriously, and they didn't hear that immature voice at all. When Li Ding's heart was calming down for a while, the immature voice smiled and said: "Hehe, saying that you are a waste is really lifting you, they can't hear me, what are you worried about? Alas, it's so tiring to talk to you, but you'd better move your body, don't let that guy's tail face me, hate!"
Li Ding looked up at this time, and saw that he was hiding behind the statue of the bird-shaped beast. During this time in Jinguangmen, he already knew that this statue that looked very weak was the real person of Lingyan, the originator of Jinguangmen, and the spirit beast Lingyan at his feet, but this guy with a sharp beak and sharp claws had nothing to do with the geese.
The big mighty statue in the middle of the main hall is the great god of Yuanxing, and there is a long-bearded statue next to it that is said to be the person who really carries forward the Jinguangmen, that is, the initiator of the Jinguangmen Gate Qingxuanxian - Lingyun Zhenren.
At this time, Li Ding happened to be standing under the tail of the spirit goose, but how could he move his body at this time, he had to stand there motionless, and he didn't dare to take a breath. The immature voice kept complaining, but it was obvious that Hu Yishu and the others really couldn't hear the sound of this thing, and Li Ding didn't bother to pay attention to it anymore.
Withdrawing his mind, Li Ding heard Hu Yishu in front of him saying: "That's it, go down and do your part." The four people below answered, and then exited the main hall.
Here Li Ding held his breath, seeing He Daren and the others retreating, thinking that his nervous body could finally relax, but he heard Hu Yishu's voice come and said, "Come out, don't let me do it myself." ”
This sentence directly made Li Ding break out in a cold sweat, gritted his teeth and slowly moved his body out. He imagined what Hu Yishu's expression would be when he saw him, because appearing naked in the hall was completely blaspheming the sages, but he hadn't thought of this at all before, and it was too late to remember it at this time.
"Li Ding!" Hu Yishu said in a slightly surprised voice.
However, to Li Ding's surprise, Hu Yishu was only slightly stunned at the first glance when he saw him, the corners of his mouth twitched, although there was a slight anger in his eyes, but it was not to the point of making him afraid. Li Ding was a little puzzled, and he didn't know how to speak, but Hu Yishu continued to say coldly: "Don't tell me that you sleepwalked here last night, and where you went yesterday, and you didn't even participate in the Yuan Measurement Ceremony, are you afraid that others will laugh at you?"
Li Ding was also stunned, stretched out his hand to cover his important place, and said nervously with a red face: "This ......" After a pause, his thoughts turned quickly, "Master Hu Hall, yesterday the disciple saw that Hua Rong was brought into the Eight Gods Temple, and he followed him when he was worried, but there was no trace of her. I thought that she must have been taken to the cliff of the mountain behind the main hall, but unexpectedly she was dizzy and fell into the water when she passed the Lingyan Pond. ”
Hu Yishu's face turned pale, and he said sharply: "Don't you know that all disciples are not allowed to enter and leave the back mountain passage casually? As he spoke, he raised his left hand, swept his right hand over a water blue ring, and with a flash of blue light, a set of black clothes appeared in his hand, and then threw it to Li Ding.
Li Ding was stunned, and hurriedly took the upper cover, and found that the clothes were a little big, but he still said while wearing them: "The disciple knew that he was wrong, but he finally climbed ashore yesterday, but he was physically exhausted, and he fainted again, and when the disciple woke up, it became like this, and I don't know what happened in the meantime?"
Hearing this, Hu Yishu's face turned pale, and his eyes swept back and forth on Li Ding's body, and Li Ding's heart was furious, but he heard that immature voice suddenly sounded: "This lie is really level, if he can believe it, unless he has a problem with his head." ”
These words couldn't help but make Li Ding chuckle in his heart, and he could only try his best to keep his composure, but he saw that Hu Yishu's eyes suddenly seemed to have a flash of essence, and said thoughtfully: "Fainted? Could it be that the strange air mass in your body is doing tricks." There are some small animals playing with skin in the back mountain from time to time, and it is not strange that the clothes are pulled off. ”
"I said that there is really something wrong with his head?" the immature voice exclaimed, but Li Ding secretly let out a sigh of relief, and said timidly to Hu Yishu with a surprised expression: "Thank you Hall Master Hu, I don't know if the disciple can ......"
Li Xia's meaning is, of course, to ask if he can leave, since Hu Yishu will not be held accountable for the previous matter, Li Ding can't wait to leave immediately. But I heard Hu Yishu say: "I think you just wait here for a while, wait for the others to come, and go to Feiyuan Pavilion to participate in the re-examination together." ”
Hearing this, Li was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Retest?Master Hu, can I still participate in the retest with my situation?" ”
Hu Yishu chuckled and said, "No matter what, you are a person directly recommended by the Qing clan, and of course you can participate in the re-examination according to the rules." However, if you voluntarily give up, you can. ”
Hu Yishu said this obviously so that he would not lose face in front of others again. In this regard, Li Ding couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to agree to quit. The immature voice shouted: "Go, why don't you go, don't pull me off my back if you want to be a waste." ”
"But that's not the case?" Li Ding muttered.
"Well, you're going to give up. Listening to Li Ding's words, Hu Yishu was stunned.
Li Ding was taken aback and said, "No, I didn't tell you, I am...... I think it's better to go, or ...... Maybe Elder Yu will really look down on me. ”
Hu Yishu nodded, with a strange smile on his face, and didn't seem to care much about Li Ding's upside-down words.
