Chapter 42: Prohibition
Xue Chuan's entire body was completely submerged by the cold pool water in the blink of an eye.
The sharp pain that came from all over his body made Xue Chuan convulse all over, and the cold cold air directly passed through the skin and flesh and penetrated deep into the bone marrow, so that Xue Chuan could no longer have the strength to stand up!
"Gurgling!" Xue Chuan wanted to take a breath, but a large amount of pool water was poured into his nose and mouth, and the skin and flesh in his mouth and nose were frozen and cracked almost instantly!
Xue Chuan wanted to struggle, but found that it was difficult for his legs to move a bit, and even his hands lost the strength to support him to stand up.
At this moment, Xue Chuan was indeed in a panic in the face of death, no matter how calm he was, under the double pressure of severe pain and death, he still lost his due calm.
"Xue Chuan!" Yin Manqing couldn't help but exclaim anxiously when he saw Xue Chuan fall into the pool, and then he also planned to step into the pool and go to pull Xue Chuan up.
However, when Yin Manqing stepped forward, she was blocked by a layer of hazy mist, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through the barrier of that mist, and could only watch Xue Chuan struggle in the pool water.
"Let me in!" Yin Manqing was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but beat the barrier that the mist had turned into, trying to break into it.
Xue Chuan's consciousness began to be a little dazed by the severe cold, and in this pool of water, he didn't even dare to open his eyes, because the incredibly cold pool water would definitely freeze his eyeballs to pieces!
At this time, Xue Chuan could faintly feel that the jade pendant he was holding in his hand was also slightly heated at this time because he was on the verge of death, and it seemed that he was about to show his magic to stop this crisis.
However, Xue Chuan didn't want to do this.
"Yoo Sung-yi has only been away for one day... I'm reduced to the point where I have to rely on her protection? It's ridiculous..."Xue Chuan muttered to himself in his heart.
"This jade pendant... I never thought to borrow it to save my life, I wouldn't have it before, and now... Not at all!"
Xue Chuan's heart welled up with ruthlessness, the kind of madness and recklessness that had bred in his heart since he was hit when he was young, but at this time, he made a decision that was enough to shock anyone.
Xue Chuan flicked his fingers, and it turned out to be the jade pendant... Just throw it away!
"My Xue Chuan's life... The Netherworld can't take it away, and this cold pool can't do it!"
Xue Chuan's already stiff hands, when he was about to bite his teeth, pushed down stiffly, and barely lifted his head out of the water!
"Twenty-four years, I've come through... Surrounded by thousands of souls, I survived... Just a cold pool... Can you make me give up?" Xue Chuan said slurred with his tongue, which was already close to numbness.
Every time he said a word, the corners of Xue Chuan's mouth would overflow with blood due to the cracking of the frozen skin, and these blood would also frost quickly after flowing out, which shows how terrible this cold pool is!
In fact, this is also the last test that the Lotus Path people did not mention.
Indeed, Xue Chuan's wisdom has satisfied the Lotus Life Daoist, and his talent can also be cultivated through the Yan Soul Lotus, but if he does not have a firm will and the belief in life and death, it will definitely be difficult to become a great weapon, let alone kill the Son of Heaven of the Taili Dynasty!
In that case, it would be better to let Yan Soul Lotus continue to stay in the cold pool in peace, rather than wasting it on a waste.
Xue Chuan supported his body with his arms that were frozen into blue and purple, and his whole body moved forward with all his strength when only half of his face was poking out of the water!
With the last of his strength about to be dissipated, and it was difficult to control his body with his will alone, Xue Chuan stretched out his unconscious left hand and touched the red lotus petals of the Yan Soul Lotus.
In an instant, a gentle warm current came from the soft lotus petals of the Yan Soul Lotus, flowed down Xue Chuan's fingertips, and finally spread to Xue Chuan's whole body.
Wherever the warm current passed, the frost on Xue Chuan's body faded rapidly, and the blue-purple skin also returned to its original color, and the originally cold and biting cold water turned into warm pool water when it came into contact with Xue Chuan's body, as if Xue Chuan was not entering a cold pool, but a hot spring.
As the cold subsided, Xue Chuan's consciousness gradually regained consciousness, he lowered his head and looked at his body, and couldn't help but be a little afraid: "Fortunately..."
Recalling his move to directly abandon the jade pendant just now, Xue Chuan still had palpitations, and couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being a "madman".
"Xue Chuan...?Are you okay?" Yin Manqing saw Xue Chuan get up from the pool, and it seemed that there was no big problem, and he was also happy in his heart.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay now... Ahem... very. Xue Chuan replied casually, but was choked by the blood in his mouth.
Xue Chuan swallowed the blood in one gulp, pretended to be indifferent, and said: "This cold pool just looks very cold, in fact, it is as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring, I accidentally broke my foot just now, it's not a big deal." ”
Hearing Xue Chuan's words, Yin Manqing was also skeptical, after all, Xue Chuan's previous low roar she heard it really, and the extremely suppressed pain didn't look like it was okay no matter how you looked at it.
Xue Chuan turned his head and didn't dare to let go of the hand that touched the Yan Soul Lotus, so he could only touch the lotus while squatting down and groping for the jade pendant that he had thrown away earlier in the water.
After touching it for a long time, Xue Chuan finally picked up the jade pendant again, looking at the thin jade pendant in his hand, Xue Chuan was also relieved: "Fortunately, it was not wasted, and now there is another life." ”
Subsequently, Xue Chuan, who was full of practical spirit, first tried to pull out the Yan Soul Lotus, and after finding that there was no use for the eggs, he still honestly used the jade pendant to cut it.
It is also strange to say that when the jade pendant touched the stem of the Yan Soul Lotus, the stem, which could not be destroyed by brute force, was slashed by the jade pendant like a piece of tender tofu, without any resistance.
When the Yan Soul Lotus fell into Xue Chuan's hands, he had time to take a closer look at this magical lotus.
Xue Chuan looked at it intently, and counted that this Yan Soul Lotus had a total of nine petals, with a faint silver color in the red on it, and a circle of bright gold-edged decoration on the outer edge, revealing a unique aura.
If you observe more closely, you can even see the surface of the lotus petals of this Yan Soul Lotus, as if there are a lot of words, these characters have strange shapes, jumping on the lotus petals, as if full of life, extremely strange.
Xue Chuan didn't observe any longer, so he squatted down and began to rummage through the mud under the pool where the Yan Soul Lotus had taken root.
"Qinglian Dao Method... Qinglian Dao Method... Where is it...?" Xue Chuan muttered to himself as he dug through the mud, like an impatient gold digger.
"There it is!" Xue Chuan felt that his right hand touched an object with an extraordinary touch, and he couldn't help but look happy, and hurriedly sped up and scooped it up.
At this time, Xue Chuan realized that what he had picked up was actually a bamboo tube, which looked extremely ordinary, as if he had picked a bamboo from the bamboo forest outside, and then cut off a section with his eyes closed.
"What is it? This is the Qinglian Dao Method?" Xue Chuan frowned, then looked at the bamboo tube over and over again, and shook it in his hand, only to find that there was some noise inside.
"Sure enough, there are things in this bamboo tube!" Xue Chuan grinned, then held the bamboo tube in one hand and the Yan Soul Lotus in the other, and walked towards Yin Manqing with a smile.
Xue Chuan walked leisurely and said with a smile: "Okay, it's done, the next step is - bang!"
This last movement was the sound of Xue Chuan crashing headlong into the fog barrier that blocked Yin Manqing unsuspectingly.
Xue Chuan didn't react for a while, his center of gravity was unstable, and he had nowhere to borrow strength from the things he held in his hands, so he fell backwards and sat directly in the pool.
"Whoa!" The scattered splash drenched Xue Chuan again, making the latter also a little unconscious.
"What's the situation, you won't let you go?" Xue Chuan was a little incredulous, so he stood up and tentatively walked forward again.
"Bang!" This barrier had a great effect on Xue Chuan, forcing Xue Chuan to fall into the pool again.
"What are you playing, tell me how to pick lotus flowers but don't tell me how to go out!" Xue Chuan was so angry that he couldn't help but yell.
"You and other thieves, dare to covet the relics of Qinglian Daoyou?" A contemptuous male voice sounded, making Xue Chuan and Yin Manqing both turn their heads.
I saw that in the pile of purple yuan essence gold fragments, the jade piece that could never be moved, at this time, actually emitted bursts of mist, forming a figure with a blurred face.
"That big brother, I think you seem to have misunderstood something!" Xue Chuan also felt a beat when he saw this strange scene.
However, the misty figure didn't care about what Xue Chuan said, but said to himself: "Qinglian Daoyou's life has been bumpy and admirable, how can her cave mansion be easily blasphemed?"
"Well, I actually got her permission..."Xue Chuan tried to communicate with the misty figure.
"Hmph, I knew that you chicken-stealing ants had always been thieves, so I just put a ban on this cold pool that is difficult to detect!" the mist figure sneered.
"At least your ban is still very successful..."Xue Chuan said weakly.
Xue Chuan also realized at this time that most of this figure had no autonomous consciousness, just a puppet who was released to introduce the situation, just like those little hairy children who had a bad taste and rectified people, and they had to leave a note "I did it, am I angry?" to laugh at the victim, a reason.
"I'm not cold-blooded and ruthless, on the contrary, I've always had compassion, so I'm going to give you a chance!" the misty figure continued.
"Compassion... If I hadn't touched the Yan Soul Lotus, I would have been trapped in this cold pool and burping, okay?" Xue Chuan had an urge to curse.
"It is difficult for Qinglian Daoist friends to find heirs in their lives, so as long as you get started with the cultivation of Qinglian Dao Method, I will lift the ban and let you go, and at that time, you will be regarded as half of her heir. The mist figure said slowly.
Xue Chuan listened to the words of the mist figure with a blank face, then looked down at the bamboo tube in his hand, and then looked at his crotch, and then finally threw the bamboo tube in his hand and said angrily:
"You tell me, I'm a good man with strong blood, how do you want me to practice!"
