Chapter Twenty-Four: The Rotting Corpse Appears at Night

As the breath continued to enter the dantian, the bright red blood in Tang Xi's body seemed to be nourished by nutrients. The bright red blood, which had been squeezed out by the dark blood, actually showed a trace of resistance. The dark blood retreats slightly, coexisting with the bright red blood, flowing throughout the body, complementing the invasion.

There was no blood crowding each other, the pain was gone, and the blood in the chest was gone, as if nothing had happened. Tang Xi, who was sitting on the ice bed, had his eyes slightly closed, his hands pinched, his face calm, and his motionless body wrapped in cold fog was like a sculpture.

When a glimmer of morning sun shone on the bottom of Mingjing Lake, Tang Xi opened his eyes, his bloodless face recovered a point, and the feeling of weakness in his whole body was also a little less. The cold air emitted from the ice bed caused the temperature in the hall to drop, but Tang Xi did not feel any cold.

Tang Xi jumped off the ice bed, stretched, moved his muscles and bones, and was refreshed. After Tang Xi sent the ice bed back to the ground, he said secretly: "I finally understand why the old liar keeps closing his eyes and recuperating, it turns out that this is cultivation, and it is indeed more comfortable than sleeping." ”

Tang Xi exhaled a few mouthfuls of turbid air, and then he smelled the stench emanating from his body, and this smell was the same as Qinglin's reckless breath. Tang Xi buckled his head, and then remembered what Qing Linmang had taken in his mouth last night.

"Little worm, for your sake of saving me this time, the master won't curse you for wetting the bed. Tang Xi looked at Qing Linmang, whose body was coiled, sniffed it again, and continued: "I don't know what to eat, my breath is so heavy. ”

Qinglin spit out the letter, staring at Tang Xi with pearl-like eyes, and his triangular head swayed from side to side, as if he was denying Tang Xi's statement.

Tang Xi walked into the dark passage, and after walking once, Tang Xi appeared in the room prepared for him by Han's mother after a cup of tea. Qing Linmang, who was following Tang Xi, disappeared from Tang Xi's sight again after entering the room.

Tang Xi didn't pay attention to it, and after washing his body, he changed into the only set of clothes left in the baggage. After changing his clothes, Tang Xi saw the red cloth towel in the baggage that he didn't recognize.

"I don't know, where did the old liar bring it back, and when will I have time to ask what it is?" Tang Xi remembered that night, the Tianchi boy dressed up in black clothes, and said to himself. After throwing the burden into the closet, Tang Xi walked towards the door.

After Tang Xi finished breakfast, he followed Han Ningzhu into the village school again. When the villagers saw that Tang Xi was still alive, they all showed incredulity. But at the thought that Tang Xi burned down the peach orchard, the villagers showed hostility towards Tang Xi. There are even a few elderly people who are holding a flat pole and are about to beat people.

Fortunately, Han Ningzhu persuaded with good words, and Tang Xi bowed his head in time to admit his mistake, so he was spared. And Tang Xi was really confused, he didn't understand why someone wanted to beat him, and secretly said in his heart: "Isn't it just that a few trees were burned, as for it." Bully children and curse you to wet the bed tonight. ”

"Hehe, these old men didn't beat you, count you lucky. You don't even know that the peach blossom forest is their life. If you burn the peach blossom forest, you won't be able to make the peach blossom fragrance. Almost all of them have drunk the fragrance of peach blossoms for a lifetime, and I am afraid that there will be no more peach blossoms in the future. Han Ningzhu seemed to see Tang Xi's doubts, and said with a smile.

For the next few days, Tang Xi did this almost every day. At night, he went back to the bottom of the lake to practice, and during the day, he read and played with Han Ningzhu. On such days, Tang Xi enjoyed it very much. Tang Xi, who has always lived in the ranks of Tang clothes, never thought that he would live such a life.

Time has passed, and it has been two months since Tang Xi came to Taoyuan Village. In the past two months, Tang Xi has experienced deception, life and death, endurance, and fear. Today's Tang Xi seems to be accustomed to reading books every day and practicing every night.

In the past two months, Tang Xi's cultivation has no longer had any pain in his body, the fatigue in his whole body has disappeared, and his face has returned to before, but it is indeed slightly different from before.

In the past two months, two strange things have happened in Taoyuan Village, one is that the pheasants fed in the village have been stolen, and the other is that there is a strange sigh at the bottom of the lake where Tang Xi practiced.

After the first incident, Tang Xi quickly determined that it was related to Qing Lin Mang. But after Qinglin Mang was questioned by Tang Xi, he showed innocent eyes, and his triangular head kept shaking, as if he was denying.

As for the second thing, Tang Xi didn't think it was the sound that came out of it even if he wanted to break his head. At first, Tang Xi was still scared, but with Qinglin reckless, Tang Xi had a little more courage, and even looked for the source of the sound at the bottom of the lake. But after searching for many days, I couldn't find the source of the sound.

Tang Xi returned to the bottom of the lake, opened the ice bed, and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

After a cup of tea, the sound of "hiss, ah" came into Tang Xi's ears again, and the sound seemed to be painful and lamenting. Tang Xi got up from the ice bed, carefully identified the source of the sound, and the sigh disappeared again. When Tang Xi returned again, it did come again. Qing Lin Mang followed behind Tang Xi, as if he didn't understand what Tang Xi was looking for.

Back and forth like this, Tang Xi was sure that the sound came from the bottom of Mingjing Lake, and it was still in the residence at the bottom of the lake. Tang Xi opened the room where the ingredients were stored, took out a kitchen knife from it, and followed the source of the sound step by step.

When Tang Xi was holding the kitchen knife, he didn't hear this sigh. Tang Xi returned to the ice bed and began to practice the exercises. Place the kitchen knife on the ice bed as well, and be ready to fight the unknown voice.

The next day, Tang Xi was safe and sound. The days were still as usual, Tang Xi enjoyed his life very much, especially when Mr. Zhang from the village school told the story of the literati, Tang Xi listened very carefully. Qinglinmang was repeatedly asked by Tang Xi not to hurt people and domestic animals before letting him leave.

For days, the livestock kept disappearing. Strange sounds at the bottom of the lake, more and more diligent.

Tang Xi, who was sitting on the ice bed, was always vigilant against strange sounds. Tang Xi even felt that the voice would soon reappear in the hall.

The full moon hangs high and the stars are dotted.

The lake is illuminated by the full moon, and the hall at the bottom of the lake is clearly visible as in the daytime.

Tang Xi sat on the ice bed, his eyes slightly closed, but his ears were always paying attention to the sound.

"Hey". After a sigh, a three-foot-sized figure appeared in the hall. His appearance, silently, like a ghost.

Tang Xi, who was always vigilant, opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, without any clothes, his body was tattered and skinless, and he could even see the blood flowing meridians on the dark red white bones. On the chest, a heart the size of an adult's fist beats incessantly. If the thing in front of you is a person, it is better to say that it is a decomposing corpse.

Tang Xi gasped from the fright and calmed himself down. Holding the kitchen knife on the ice bed, he slashed towards the carrion. It's just that Tang Xi didn't notice it at the moment, and the kitchen knife on the ice bed was already frozen in it. Due to Tang Xi's excessive force, the kitchen knife and the handle were separated.

The blood-red eyes of the carrion corpse stared at Tang Xi, who was holding the hilt of the knife, revealing puzzlement. After the rotting corpse said "hey", it kicked Tang Xi who rushed over. After Tang Xi was forced, his body was directly ejected and hit the stone wall.

"Stinky boy, there is a future, last time I used a kitchen knife to split Qinglin, this time I used the handle of the knife to split the old man, the old man is a Tianchi boy. "The Tianchi boy who has lost his lip skin, the corners of his mouth are leaking, and his voice is rustling.

Tang Xi held his stomach with both hands, looked at the handle of the knife that fell to the ground, and then looked at the Tianchi boy, revealing shock and innocence.
