Chapter 32: A Trip to Tianchi
In Taoyuan Village, wheat has just been harvested, and farmers have entered the busy season. Only the peach garden, which blooms all year round, seems to be so quiet forever, caressing in the breeze and dancing with the fragrance of petals.
In the peach garden, the wide mirror-like lake seems to have an invisible fence, and the flying peach petals can't fly into the lake.
Beneath the surface of the lake, in a room-like clearing.
Tang Xi was depressed, sitting cross-legged on the ice bed, practicing the Xuanyin Technique. Perhaps at this time, Tang Xi only chooses to cultivate to make his heart feel good. The Tianchi boy did not speak, and there was silence at the bottom of Mingjing Lake. Qinglin crossed his body, spitting out letters, and was carefree all day long.
"Tomorrow morning, the old man will take you to Tianchi to remove the last trace of poisonous blood from your body. "Tianchi Boy seems to have made a decision.
"How long will it take?" Tang Xi asked back as he opened his eyes.
In fact, in Tang Xi's heart, there are many questions. Tang Xi also asked, but the Tianchi boy either didn't answer, or he said it in a bad way. Tang Xi even suspected the Tianchi boy and pretended to be deep in front of him.
"Half a year. Tianchi Boy said calmly.
Half a year is nothing to Tang Xi, but Tang Xi doesn't want to leave at all at this time. Because Han Ningzhu was about to leave, Tang Xi wanted to stay and send Han Ningzhu away.
"The old man knows that you are unwilling to leave now, if you don't resolve it, I'm afraid your life will be soon. Tianchi Boy seemed to see Tang Xi's heart.
"Why did you choose this time, can't it be a few days late?" Tang Xi asked again.
Tianchi Boy didn't answer, he directly stretched out two fingers, with a breath of true qi, and nodded at Tang Xi's eyebrows. Tang Xi didn't dodge, and let this true qi enter his whole body from the center of his eyebrows, and finally returned to his dantian, turning into dantian qi.
"Look at your chest!" said the Tianchi boy after finishing his work.
Tang Xi flipped over his coat and saw that in his chest, the blood veins connected to his heart surfaced again, and the black green had turned black. Tang Xi looked puzzled and looked at the Tianchi boy.
"In your body, the only remaining poisonous blood has covered the meridians, and if it is not removed, your blood will become poisonous blood again every time the blood in your body flows through these black meridians. If you want to save it again, I'm afraid it's too late. Tianchi Boy explained.
After Tang Xi got dressed, he didn't speak. In Tang Xi's heart, since he met Tianchi Tongzi, it seemed that everything had lost his claim. In the face of life and death, Tang Xi had no choice.
"The old man promised your fifth uncle and Elder Sun that he would leave your life. Or maybe it's in the dark, you shouldn't die here, but when you were exchanging blood, the poisonous blood in the old man's body actually entered your body, but it gave you a creation. Fate is like this, why don't you help the old man anymore, let you live well!" Tianchi Boy seemed to be talking to himself.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
Tianchi Tongzi and Tang Xi walked into the passage and appeared in the Han family. One old and one young, walked out of Taoyuan Village and walked towards the mountains. Maybe it was too early, and the two didn't meet a single villager. Even Mother Han, Tang Xi wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by the Tianchi boy.
Along the way, the two didn't say anything. Tang Xi showed reluctance, and every time he walked a while, he had to look back at the Han family's residence. It seems that there is a concern for him somewhere.
"Don't look at it, if you have a fate, you will encounter it. Tianchi Tongzi's words reached Tang Xi's ears.
Two hours later, Tang Xi and the Tianchi boy climbed over the first mountain. Tang Xi stood on the peak of the mountain, looking at everything under the mountain. In Tang Xi's eyes, the mountain is extremely small. Tang Xi looked at Taoyuan Village, and saw nothing but a few vague houses. Even Spiegel Lake is like a star, shining under the sun's rays.
On the top of the peak, Tang Xi smashed a white ice cube and held it in his hand, not feeling any chill. Tang Xi stood on the peak of the mountain and said loudly to the bottom of the mountain: "Little sister, Tang Xi can't send you anymore." ”
The ice cube shattered in Tang Xi's hands and fell to the ground, making a "dong dong" sound, which seemed to help Tang Xi convey his inner reluctance.
Far away in Taoyuan Village at the foot of the mountain, Han Ningzhu stood outside the door, looked at the bottom of the mountain, pouted sullenly, and said to himself: "Tang Xi has disappeared for a day, where did he go, are you really angry." When you show up later, you must punish him well. ”
Maybe Tang Xi was too far away, and Han Ningzhu didn't hear Tang Xi's voice. Han Ningzhu put away his melancholy, his eyes looked at the mountain behind him, and in a trance, he seemed to see Tang Xi, and there was a little old man beside Tang Xi. When Han Ningzhu wanted to see it clearly, he saw nothing but the iceberg.
Han Ningzhu returned to the courtyard, holding the bamboo sword, without a trace of sword practice. Han Mu looked at Han Ning Zhu sullenly, took a bamboo sword, and stabbed at Han Ning Bamboo.
With the sound of the bamboo sword breaking through the air, Han Ningzhu habitually swung out the bamboo sword and blocked Han Mu's blow. Han Ningzhu held the bamboo sword and did not retreat, but instead attacked. Two bamboo swords, you come and go, making a "bang" sound in the air. After a few rounds, Han Ningzhu slowly gained the upper hand, and finally had to abandon his sword and surrender.
"Mother, you always bully me. Han Ningzhu dropped the bamboo sword, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pouted.
"You think everyone is like Tang Xi, letting you everywhere, for fear of hurting you. When you get out, no one will let you. Han Mu put down the bamboo sword, took Han Ningzhu's little hand, and said in a teaching tone.
Han's mother didn't mention Tang Xi, but when Tang Xi was mentioned, Han Ningzhu was like a child, and she began to sulk again. Han's mother could only sigh as she watched Han Ningzhu break away and return to her room.
On the mountain peak, Tang Xi took a deep breath of cold, suppressed his inner reluctance, and made his heart more calm.
"Enough rest, I have to climb a mountain!" said the Tianchi boy.
Tang Xi got up and followed behind the Tianchi boy. After walking for a while, there was no road down the mountain. Tang Xi could only follow the footprints of the Tianchi boy and continue to move forward. At this time, the Xuanyin finger also has a usefulness. If there are branches, the gillnet blocks the way, just one finger.
After a day's trip, Tianchi Boy and Tang Xi finally arrived at their destination.
When Tang Xi stood on the white ice peak and looked at the big lake below the mountain, he showed an expression of disbelief. The surface of the lake is naturally formed, hundreds of times larger than Mingjing Lake, if it means that Jingjing Lake is a lake, then this place is the sea.
"This is Tianchi?" Tang Xi asked, looking at the lake below the mountain.
"This is Tianchi. Thousands of years later, the lava cooled, coupled with rainwater irrigation, forming a natural lake, all named Tianchi. This is just one of them, the eastern Changbai Mountain, a heavenly pool, dozens of times larger than here, legend has it that there is a water monster in the heavenly pool, the old man has been there, and did not find it. Tianchi Boy recalled.
"Are there water monsters here?" asked Tang Xi as he looked at the bottomless Tianchi on the ice.
"Of course ......"
