Chapter 139: The Benefits of Torture
After some conversation, Li Ding got a result that he was unwilling to accept, and after thanking Qing Yanzi in a huff, he came to the gate of the small courtyard where Liu Ling was.
To Li Ding's surprise, the woman in green was talking with Liu Ling, Li Ding had learned from Liu Ling that the woman in green was called Tongzhu, and he thought that Tongzhu didn't want to touch Liu Ling at first, but now the two are so close. And the two seemed to be talking happily, and Liu Ling's slightly cyan face also showed a look of joy, which was completely different from the previous forced smile.
It seems that they are more able to find a common language in the same daughter's family. Seeing this, Li Ding couldn't help but move in his heart, knowing that it was best not to disturb, so he quickly turned around and walked to the side.
Li Ding jumped onto the roof of a room, lay down and quietly looked at the somewhat dark sky, until the sky gradually darkened, and the surroundings were shrouded in night. Thinking of what happened in this day, Li Ding was full of thoughts for a while.
"What's the matter? You won't really bother about Liu Yatou's affairs like this, you must know that you still have a long way to go. Xiao Dan's immature voice sounded, but with a very old-fashioned tone.
Li Ding didn't answer Xiao Dan immediately, he was indeed worried about this matter, but he was thinking about another thing now.
After a while, Li Ding suddenly asked: "Xiao Dan, Qing Yanzi said that Liu Ling and I are both semi-holy bodies, what this means is well known to everyone, since he has no ill will towards me and Liu Lingben, why did he treat me like that before." ”
"Hee-hee. Xiao Dan smiled and said: "Human nature, if you don't believe him, he won't believe you." ”
"But I have already shown my scheming before, as long as he is willing to treat Liu Ling, except for those things that must not be said, I think I should tell him everything else, why do you have to torture me?" Li Ding said.
"Semi-Holy Body, born with the best living ding. Don't you be curious when you see something strange, not to mention that he is an alchemist, although he has no covetous heart, he must not help but want to understand, not to mention that he only restrained you, and did not kill you. Xiao Dan said.
Li Ding couldn't deny this, sighed and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that I was also a semi-holy body. ”
"Hee-hee. But Xiao Dan smiled again: "This old guy is wrong, Liu Yatou is indeed a semi-holy body, but you are not." The supreme vitality in your body, the special physique, and the extraordinary soul power, you should know very well how you got it. As for what the old guy did to you, actually...... I think you should thank him. ”
"Thank you?" Li Ding was stunned, thinking of the unbearable tingling pain, he felt shuddered in his heart, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Although he saved Liu Ling, I should be grateful, but there is no need to thank him for him torturing me, right?"
"You kid, you don't know what you have gained from it, have you forgotten what you experienced under that torture before? Because of the old guy's methods, your soul power can be said to have gone to a new level, otherwise that guy would not have looked away and regarded you as a half-holy body. Dan said.
"The heart is small...... Distracted!" Thinking of what Qing Yanzi said before, Li Ding's heart couldn't help but feel excited, and he realized that the previous experience of seeing in the sky was the feeling of opening his heart.
"A cultivator, only when you open your eyes can your soul power be truly used, it's a pity that your true strength is too weak to control this power at all, otherwise you wouldn't have had the accident before. Xiao Dan said again.
Li Ding was silent in his heart, knowing what Xiao Dan was talking about, and suddenly felt a strong pain in the depths of his mind, but it quickly disappeared.
Subconsciously covering his head with his hands, Li Ding said, "I almost died, right?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Dan snorted coldly and said, "Although the old guy Qingyanzi helped you, it is also to blame that he is too anxious." When I met your kid at the gate of the village courtyard before, you used your vitality, with the strength of the old guy, maybe you had noticed that the vitality in your body was not ordinary at that time, and this would immediately restrain you, but he didn't expect that your kid's strength was mediocre, although the vitality was restricted, he broke his bundle of yuan spells with his soul power.
Liu Ling has a special physique, and the old guy can find out when he explores it, but there is nothing more special about her after all. But you're different, not only do you have the best vitality, but your soul power is even more extraordinary, I think the old guy may also be curious so he wants to try again to see how strong your soul power is. ”
"That's why he'll restrain me again, and I'll be forced out of my body?" Li Ding said.
"I think so, but it's also thanks to him that he discovered the abnormality in time and forced your soul back into your body, otherwise it would be really dangerous. Xiao Dan said.
Li Ding couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief and said, "Then you still want me to thank him for this, it's not bad if you don't settle accounts with him." If I accidentally became a fool like the one he said, you probably wouldn't be able to reason with him now, would you?"
Hearing Li Ding's words, Xiao Dan was silent for a while and said, "This ...... I really didn't think about that. ”
Hearing this, Li Ding almost didn't jump, this was originally a joke, but he didn't want to be really almost like that.
"I'm sorry...... I should have reminded you at that time, but ......" Dan stopped talking.
Although he was a little angry, Li Ding didn't mean to blame Xiao Dan. After this conversation, his mood, which was originally dull, has slowly calmed down, but what he didn't expect was that although his soul power had been unexpectedly improved, it was extremely dangerous to not want to use it.
"Isn't it okay now? Li Ding comforted Xiao Dan and said, "You were the same as Qing Yanzi at that time, you want to see if I can completely open my heart, right?"
Xiao Dan didn't speak, and Li Ding continued: "But that's okay, at least it made me understand not to use soul power indiscriminately before I don't have enough strength, otherwise I don't know how to die by then." ”
"Of course, you can't use it indiscriminately, just like the explosion of vitality will cause the Yuan Spirit and space to shock, the soul power will also cause special shock fluctuations to the space, although this has to reach a certain level of strength to feel it, but it is also easy to be discovered, especially if your current cultivation strength is not proportional to your soul power at all. Xiao Dan said urgently.
"Soul fluctuations, this is how Qing Yanzi discovered me, right?" asked Li Ding.
"Exactly, your soul was scattered at that time, with that old guy's soul power level, it was a simple effort to kill you, fortunately he didn't do that, but people outside won't be as good at talking as the old guy from Qing Yanzi. Xiao Dan said.
Thinking about it, it is true, as the so-called human heart is unpredictable, Li Ding knows that it is better to be careful at all times, but he smiled and said: "Then don't forget to remind me, I don't want to die in vain." ”
However, when the word "death" was said again, Li Ding's smile disappeared suddenly, and a pair of eyes looked at the starless night sky, as if they were about to penetrate the endless darkness.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps below, disturbing Li Ding's thoughts. One turned over and sat up, and Li Ding saw Tongbai standing under the eaves.
"It's cold on the roof at night, Brother Li should come down, the meal is ready, my master has to eat it together." Tong Bai beckoned and said with a smile.
Li Ding nodded and jumped off the roof. Remembering that it was this Tongbai who gave him a bath during the day, and he hadn't paid attention to others, he couldn't help but say with a hint of apology: "I'm really sorry to let Brother Tong do those things before, Li Ding is here to make amends for you." ”
Tong Bai was honest and smiled: "Brother Li said that, weren't you seriously injured before?" It's just that I didn't expect the soul rejuvenation pill left by the ancestor to be so powerful, and you can go to the room in just half a day." ”
"Soul Rejuvenation Pill?" Li Ding remembered that Qing Yanzi had indeed mentioned this elixir more than once, but when he was stunned, he heard Xiao Dan say: "The internal injury pill that is one grade higher than the big Dan, do you think it is possible that your injury is cured by it?"
Hearing this, Li Ding smiled faintly, knowing that Xiao Dan was reminding him, which meant that his injury was Xiao Dan's medicinal power at work, but compared to Xiao Dan's medicinal power, a five-grade pill was indeed not worth mentioning.
However, when Tongbai saw Li Ding's smile, he thought that Li Ding was happy about the effect of the elixir, so he said: "By the way, Brother Li, I don't have the same surname, Tongbai is just my junior in the master, you can actually call me Tongbai." ”
Li Ding remembered that there was no such thing as a seniority in the Jinguang Sect, except for the disciples who became official disciples, except for the door master, whether it was an elder or a hall master, or a senior in each community, all the registered disciples called them teachers.
Even after becoming an official disciple, in addition to his own master, calling the people of the master's peers uncles or uncles or something, it is only an honorific title for the elders, in fact, it is completely possible to continue to call the teacher, and I have never heard of a word to stipulate the seniority.
However, after listening to Tongbai's explanation, Li Ding understood why Tongsong, Tongbai, and Tongzhu all had the same word in their names.
It's just that Li Ding doesn't know that the semi-academic management of Jinguangmen is not the same thing as the usual sect at all. After all, ordinary disciples have not been assessed, and the reason why they have to become formal disciples is that only the disciples who have passed the assessment and entered the core can really be regarded as their own people, and they are also qualified to learn advanced exercises and martial arts, which is also a means to bring the most powerful people together.
Surprised, Li Ding didn't ask much, and said, "That's ...... Then I'll call Brother Tongbai. ”
"Okay, ......" Hearing Li Ding say this, Tong Bai was no longer hypocritical, and the two walked along the corridor to the back hall.
The smell of food wafted over, arousing Li Ding's hunger, and he remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day.
What Li Ding didn't expect was that on the opposite side of the room where he had taken a bath before, Qing Yanzi actually stood there and waited in person.
