Chapter Forty-Eight: The Elegance of the Tao (I)
The sudden situation shocked Lin Qiulu and Qin Xiaoling. However, Qin Yifan's words just now made them a little baffled, could everything that happened here be an illusion?
What the three of them saw, heard, and felt was exactly the same, and there was also a group of giant rats that were attacking frantically around them, and an even bigger behemoth in front of them had just swallowed Qin Yifan in one bite, could it be an illusion?
But no matter what, Lin Qiulu would never want these rats the size of lambs to pounce on him, whether it was real or illusory, he didn't want this kind of situation to happen, so the flying sword was still a desperate greeting.
Qin Xiaoling has been living underground for a long time, and she has never seen anything before, and her "home" in Fist Yin Lake is still composed of more than a hundred corpses, so she doesn't care about these at all. With the blood veil protector, there is no need to worry about those rats being able to get close, since Qin Yifan said that it was an illusion, she began to work hard to find a way to break the illusion.
Qin Yifan seemed to have figured out something, he didn't care about those sharp teeth that looked very terrifying, his body flew forward, and he swung his knife towards the place he felt.
I've been immersed in that kind of distracted thinking, and even the thousands of giant rats killing outside have only vented the frustration of the last few days. On the other hand, the true yuan, which circulates wildly but has been suppressed by the spirit, is also like a wild horse that has escaped from the reins, running wildly, circulating in all directions along the familiar meridians in the body.
The true yuan that erupted with the special surname of the explosion swept everything furiously, and the wanton killing after a long absence also made the mood feel happy at the same time, and the body seemed to be swept away from the dull rust of a few days, and it was fully active.
In the leisure of killing, the behemoth on the other side gave Qin Yifan a very strange feeling, always feeling that it should not be a giant, but a mass of dots that exude a familiar but unfamiliar atmosphere, such a feeling is very clear under this mysterious realm. Therefore, Qin Yifan did not hesitate to swing his knife towards the target in his senses.
A gritty mass of objects touched the knife, and it actually retreated with the momentum of the knife. This thing is not very big, but with the sharpness of Qin Yifan's kitchen knife, it is really amazing that it has not been cut in half. The body was still empty, but the empty left hand had reached out and grabbed the thing full of bullets.
As soon as my hand touched the thing, I felt a violent tingling like thunder and lightning, and my arm almost spasmed in disobedience. Fortunately, despite the spasms, the fingers became tighter and tighter.
The thing was in hand, but the feeling like a lightning strike went straight into the internal organs, and it walked all over the body. The true yuan seemed to have been ignited by this thunderbolt, and it exploded more violently in the entire meridian. The meridians were under unprecedented pressure, but fortunately, this feeling only stopped in an instant, and nothing happened. Immediately, the darkness in front of him was swept away, and even the unpleasant smell disappeared without a trace.
The busyness of the two girls outside did not last long, and soon, the scene seemed to change suddenly, and the scenery suddenly opened up. Although it was still a meadow along the way, and the scenery and everything had not changed, the pile of disgusting rats and behemoths had melted away like ice and snow, and only Qin Yifan was standing there with something in his hand.
The thing in Qin Yifan's hand seemed to be a living thing, wriggling and moving. It looks like a round ball, but it is not so standard, and from a distance, it looks like a potato that has just been dug out of the ground.
Lin Qiulu didn't quite believe what she saw in front of her, and stepped forward with her eyes wide open. Along the way, in order to observe Qin Yifan's state, he kept turning on his divine sense, for fear of missing something, could it be that the illusion here can even deceive his divine sense?
Qin Xiaoling was very curious about what Qin Yifan had in his hand, so she flashed and fled early, asking Qin Yifan for the inexplicable ball in her hand. Qin Yifan did not refuse, and gave it to her directly, very relieved.
It was in the hand, it seemed to be very soft, and there was nothing but such a ball, and there were no holes or anything else on the surface. But in their hands, they can still feel the familiar coldness, could it be that this is the source of the breath they are looking for?
Lin Qiulu, who had put away the flying sword, also stepped forward with a confused expression, carefully observing the strange thing in Qin Xiaoling's hand, but no matter how he looked at it, no matter how he searched his stomach, he couldn't remember which classic book in the sect had recorded such a thing.
However, it is not so simple to make three people have the same hallucination. Could it be that this thing is stronger than the dude in the lake? What's going on with those corpses that came along the way, it can't be a hallucination of the three of them, right?
"What is this?" Lin Qiulu, who shouldn't ask the most questions, actually asked such a question, which shows that she was also confused by the series of incomprehensible things in front of her.
Shaking his head, Qin Yifan couldn't answer her either, at first he just felt that he had an aura similar to that of a brother in the lake, and it just so happened that he had entered that rare mysterious realm in that state, which was very beneficial to his cultivation.
However, the later situation was a bit suspicious of playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and when that kind of bloody scene appeared, it had already fallen behind, which was not the same as the fact that the brother in the lake could fabricate an illusion with Qin Yifan's strong desire to break through.
Lin Qiulu and Qin Xiaoling were actually two victims, although they were also simply confused by the illusion, but this illusion should not have caused such a consequence to be honest.
But Qin Yifan happened to enter the mysterious realm at this time, but the two women were very concerned about Qin Yifan's safety, so they unconsciously put their whole body and mind on Qin Yifan's body. It is not so much that the two girls were confused by that monster, but rather by Qin Yifan's mysterious realm.
Suddenly, that strange thing seemed to feel something, and it beat violently, changing a strange shape in Qin Xiaoling's hand, but Qin Xiaoling's hand was clenched tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.
The three of them were a little strange, Qin Xiaoling seemed to have thought of something, stretched out her hand, and took out the evil qi bead that Qin Yifan handed him from somewhere. Seeing this bead, the monster's writhing was even more violent, and it jumped in bursts, if it weren't for Qin Xiaoling's steady hand, this monster might have broken through the obstacle and jumped directly onto the bead.
"This thing is weird, inexplicable, Xiaoling, you put it away, don't let it be weird!" to Qin Xiaoling, or because she is an Arhat golden body, she can collect magic weapons in her body, although this thing is weird, but as long as it is placed in Qin Xiaoling's body, it is wrapped in the surrounding Arhat golden body, and it can't toss any storms.
took the evil qi bead from Qin Xiaoling's hand, put it on her body, and felt a familiar taste again. In the past few days, without the suppression of this bead, the true qi of the whole body seemed to have rebelled, and the crazy momentum made Qin Yifan a little unimaginable.
The inexplicable discovery of the coldness, the inexplicable meat ball monster, and the inexplicable illusion, no one can explain it. The three of them rested for a while, and continued to set off in the direction they had already inquired about.
It didn't seem to have any special gains, but Lin Qiulu let go of most of her heart in her heart. Qin Yifan no longer seemed to have that impatient mood, he was calm and quiet, calm and calm, and returned to the mentality of the innkeeper who was not shocked by the humiliation near the Fist Yin Lake. This is the image that Lin Qiulu is most familiar with, and it is also the most reassuring state for Lin Qiulu.
It is certain that Qin Yifan must have gained something, but since Qin Yifan didn't say it, she wouldn't ask about it. As long as Qin Yifan himself has nothing to do, Lin Qiulu will ignore everything else now, and Qin Yifan's safety is above all else. And secretly, he was annoyed because he couldn't even notice that he was in the illusion this time, but what he was thinking about was how to improve his cultivation frantically, so as not to make today's mistakes.
Guanwai wants to inquire about the whereabouts of a person, especially a person from a few decades ago, who only knows his name, appearance and specific residence, and is still a foreigner with three Central Plains accents, the difficulty can be imagined. Qin Yifan was ready to toss and turn for a long time.
But to the surprise of the three of them, the name of the old man was proposed, and as long as it was the people who lived in this vast land, it seemed that all of them knew it. Moreover, as soon as they heard that the three of them were coming to him, everyone seemed to suddenly change their attitudes, and they were extremely enthusiastic about them, shouting for warmth, and taking good care of them, which made the three of them confused.
Someone has finally solved the mystery. The old man they are looking for is indeed famous in this land. However, not because of his so-called martial arts, but because of his good deeds.
The old man is a famous miracle doctor here, he has lived in this area for many years, the living are not counted, almost all the people here have been treated by the old man, in the local area, the old man is a living bodhisattva.
This made Qin Yifan very surprised, he originally thought he was visiting a martial arts master, but it turned out to be a miracle doctor. Could it be that the news given by Mr. Li was wrong, and he deliberately arranged for him to come here to be exiled in disguise? Or did this old man not show his strong martial arts here at all?
No matter what kind of doubts you have, you will always understand when you see the old man anyway. But when Qin Yifan asked to know the whereabouts of the old man in order to visit, no one could give the old man's detailed address.
It has always been the old man who has no fixed place, a tribe by tribe came over, and when he encountered any sick person, he would be treated, and even the problem of livestock was not a problem, and the people here were also accustomed to the old man appearing here once for a while, but no one would take the initiative to find his old man.
Since this is the case, Qin Yifan also asked for the surname and stopped looking for it, so he stayed here and slowly waited for the old man to appear.
