Volume 2 Skycloud Hegemony Chapter 89 Sandstorm
The darkness of the night blocked the view, making it impossible to see the situation in the distance, and the cold night wind, whirring in the fine sand and stones, had a tendency to become more and more intense.
Qin Tian thought for a while, then turned around and went down the mound, and came to the three fat men who were shivering to keep warm: "Let's quickly find a place to shelter from the wind, right? I think it's like a sandstorm is coming!"
"What?Sandstorm? You won't be so unlucky, you can't escape the sandstorm if you cross into the other world!" the fat man wailed.
"I'm dying of cold, and you're still in the mood to talk here. Let's hurry up and find a place, shall we?" Li Ze was originally the leanest of the four, and his cold-tolerant ability obviously could not be compared with someone like the fat man, and he was already a little too cold to bear.
"It's so dark now, and you can't find the way to other places, why don't we dig a hole in the leeward part of this mound, and a few people will survive the night first?" Qin Tian looked at the increasingly dark sky and said.
"Then hurry up and do it! What are you waiting for?" Li Ze really couldn't bear it anymore, and kept urging.
The four of them quickly turned to the back of the mound, found a relatively strong position, used the large stones they picked up from the road as tools, or smashed or dug up, and worked for nearly an hour before digging a small hole in the mound obliquely, more than one meter deep and four meters square.
At this time, the wind and sand were so big that they were whirring, and the fine sand and gravel were rolled all over the sky with the action of the wind.
The fat man didn't pay attention just now, and his mouth was poured into two mouthfuls, making him a mouthful of sand.
Due to the urgency of time, it was too late to make a better pothole, so Qin Tian and the four of them quickly jumped into the pit and blocked the hole as much as possible with the stones dug up in advance, leaving only a ventilation hole the size of a blue ball.
As the wind increased, the temperature also dropped rapidly, and the four Qin Tian people in the cave all felt chills all over their bodies, so they had to pick up some dry sand from the entrance of the cave and cover their bodies, so that they were a little warmer. In addition, the space in the cave is not large, and the four of them can huddle together and want to warm each other, which is slightly better.
The four of them lay side by side, covered with a thick layer of sand, leaving only one head exposed, staring blankly at the vent with a faint light.
The wind swept the sand and stones, hitting the ground with a roar, and the ghostly whining sound came from the breath opening, and at the same time, the cold air poured into the hole one by one, making Li Zeshi shiver from the cold.
"Qin Tian, did you say that we would freeze to death tonight?" Li Ze's voice sounded in the hole where he couldn't see his fingers.
"Don't think about it so much, try to maintain your physical strength and body temperature!" Qin Tian didn't know how to answer, he didn't know the climate of this otherworldly continent, and the monk's travelogue didn't mention the sandstorm here.
Perhaps for the monks in the foundation building period, this cold was nothing at all. But for the four Qin Tian people in distress, this may be a fatal threat.
"Qin Tian, you used to say that you studied martial arts to pursue your dreams, so what is your dream?" the fat man asked with a deliberate change of topic.
The fat man's question immediately aroused the curiosity of Li Ze and Liu Hai, and they also wanted to know the answer to this question.
"Hmmm... In fact, I didn't know what the dream was, but it was just a simple feeling, the idle life was not what I wanted to pursue, and people should naturally make a certain amount of effort for their dreams vigorously to make a certain amount of effort for their dreams, so that they can grow old without regrets. Learning martial arts was actually a naïve dream when I was a child, to be chivalrous, to rob the rich and help the poor, and to be free in the rivers and lakes, which was probably the common dream of many of our peers at that time. ”
Qin Tian looked at the dark cave wall and paused, then said, "It wasn't until I met you and Master Niu Kui and experienced a lot of things that I realized that what I wanted was not just martial arts. What I want is to control my own destiny through martial arts, to put it simply, to live my life according to my own heart, without being constrained by the outside world, and no one can force me. ”
"My God, Qin Tian, your dream seems very simple, but it is very, very difficult to do. I don't have that much ambition, I just want to sleep until I wake up naturally, count the money until my hands cramp, and live that happy life without stress. Oh, yes, you can eat whatever you want. Hee-hee!" exclaimed the fat man.
"Come on, can you not mention the food, I am hungry as soon as I hear about the food now!" Li complained dissatisfiedly.
"Dream, let's talk about it when we live!" Bangs' deep voice rang out in the cave, and his words silenced everyone else in the cave.
The cold wind was still raging, making people's faces cold, but no one cared.
Yes, my life is almost gone, what dreams are you talking about?
In the face of a life that may pass away at any time, dreams seem so pale and powerless!
Many people will say that people can't live without dreams, otherwise what's the difference between people and salted fish!
But few people think about what is the use of dreaming if a person dies, and can you make it happen?
What is the difference between something unattainable and brainless lust? Or maybe this so-called dream is just a joke of self-deception!
From this point of view, the truly meaningful dreams are those that you can achieve, and all this is premised on the premise that you have to live before you can talk about realizing it.
Qin Tian was touched by Liu Hai's words, which made him re-examine his dreams, yes, only by being alive can he be qualified to talk about his dreams, otherwise what's the point of talking too much?
"Liu Hai is right, no matter what dreams we have, what wishes we have, the premise of all this is that we must live first. Qin Tian's voice broke the brief calm, "If the temperature continues to drop, then we will most likely not survive tonight, so we must do something!"
"Qin Tian, do you have any good ideas?" Yan Qiu heard what Qin Tian meant.
"There is no good way, but there is a stupid way!" Qin Tian sold a pass, and continued: "With our current conditions, we only have one way to go, and that is to practice and carry it through." None of you have ever learned the exercises of the Twelve Prayer Wheels, but it just so happens that there is a lot of aura here, so I will now teach you all the mantras and essentials. You can take this opportunity to learn it, maybe the effect will be better in such a difficult environment!"
"It's better? You've read too many novels, aren't you? Under these conditions, thank God you can save your life. If you don't do it well, you will be discouraged if you don't die. Li was the worst frozen, so his view was more pessimistic.
"Whatever the effect, it's better than doing nothing. Qin Tian, let's get started!" the bangs are still relatively direct.
"Well, let's get started!"
So Qin Tian taught the exercises of "The Twelve Wheels" to Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai, and also gave a detailed explanation of the essentials to pay attention to, so that Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai quickly mastered the essentials of the first layer of exercises.
As early as when the three fat men had refined their internal strength, Qin Tian had already revealed some relevant information about the acupuncture points of the "Twelve Warp Wheels" to the three fat men intentionally or unintentionally, and asked them to open up and refine several key acupoints in advance, and at this time, cultivation was naturally a matter of course.
When Li Ze refined all the acupuncture points of the first meridian of the "Twelve Warp Wheels", he started the cultivation of the "Twelve Warp Wheels" without delay.
The internal energy slowly flowed along the meridian pipes, and they formed a complete cycle after passing through the acupuncture points such as Jiquan, Qingling, Shaohai, Lingdao, Tongli, Yinxi, Shenmen, Shaofu, and Shaochong.
When the internal energy passed through the heart, the running speed suddenly doubled, and the surging internal energy was like a galloping horse, changing the slow appearance of the past, which made Li feel much more comfortable.
As the internal energy runs in circles, a trace of spiritual energy is slowly inhaled from the pores of the whole body, and gradually transformed into wisps of internal energy, which are integrated into the rushing internal energy.
The aura of the Tianyun Continent is indeed very abundant, and even the sand contains a small amount of aura. When Li Ze ran the "Twelve Meridian Wheels" exercise with all his might, the pleasure of dilating his pores and swallowing spiritual energy quickly fascinated him.
Even in order to better absorb the aura, he directly peeled off the sand covering his body, allowing his body to come into more contact with the air.
When the internal strength finally grew to saturation, Li's exposed body was already a little numb from the cold.
He hurriedly covered his body with sand and soil, and then used the secret method of "Qi and Blood Internal Forging Technique" to warm up his internal organs with full internal strength.
With the operation of "Qi and Blood Internal Forging Technique", there were bursts of warm feelings in all the internal organs, which made Li Ze's numb body become warm.
The kind of warmth with a slight tingling was so comfortable that it almost moaned, but fortunately he held back in time to not make himself ugly.
When Li Zezheng secretly rejoiced, suddenly there was a lewd moan in his ears.
"Oops!
The obscene moaning sound of ecstasy aroused goosebumps all over Li Ze's body.
"Dead fatty, you're a ghost!" Li Ze said angrily.
"It feels so cool! Hehe! I couldn't hold back for a while, everyone couldn't help it!"
"If you dare to scream again, I'll throw you out!" Qin Tian is also full of black lines, your sister, people who don't know hear Yan Qiu's moaning, I'm afraid they still think everyone is doing it!
Qin Tian was furious, and Yan Qiu didn't dare to provoke the anger of the crowd anymore. Calm regained in the cave, and everyone refocused on cultivation.
When the internal strength was almost consumed, Li Ze picked up the sand and soil again, and started a new round of cultivation of the "Twelve Warp Wheels", and when the internal strength was full, he used the "Qi and Blood Internal Forging Technique" to warm the internal organs and maintain body temperature.
The cycle went on and on, and I don't know how long it was, until everyone was hungry and growling, and then they stopped to eat some sand scorpion pads to pad their stomachs.
The others didn't notice the time changes in the outside world, but Qin Tian kept paying attention. When the time had reached daylight the next day, the wind was still howling outside the cave, flying sand and rocks, and there was no trace of sunlight to be seen.
Qin Tian's heart sank suddenly, such a situation is not a good sign, if the sandstorm continues, then the four of them will not be frozen to death, but will also be starved to death in this small hole.
