Section 6 Soul Destroying
The sky was dark, it seemed to be real and illusory, and when Xiao Yi woke up, he didn't know how long it had been, only to feel that the surroundings were as cold as snow and the cold wind was like a knife. But the fire in his body was raging, and his throat almost wanted to burst into flames. I struggled to open my eyes and look around, only to find that I was in a huge ice ravine, with dots of bright light falling sparsely from the ice, and countless aquarium shrimp swimming around against the ice, as far as the eye could see, and I could see the sparkling waves at the end.
Xiao Yi suddenly realized that he was in an ice cellar at the bottom of the lake. It is expected that the fairy sister found this mysterious place at the bottom of the lake and brought herself here to resist the fever.
When I turned my head, I saw a stone table and four small stools not far away, and a jade mirror was placed on the table, and various colored headbands were neatly arranged on the side of the mirror, just like a boudoir dress. Could it be that this is where the fairy sister usually lives, but it is so cold, how can she endure it.
Xiao Yi thought about it so distractedly, and he didn't realize that Yao Ji and Xiao Bai had come in, especially since Xiao Bai had no one to play with him these days, and he was very bored. Although Xiaobai is most afraid of the cold on weekdays, he is also a good playmate who comes in to visit him from time to time. I saw Xiao Yi staring at the ice in a daze, safe and sound, shouting excitedly, and pounced on Xiao Yi again, which was very intimate.
Yao Ji has rarely seen Xiaobai so intimate with others, fighting, can't help but laugh, and said softly: "Does Childe know what kind of disease he is suffering from?"
Xiao Yi was playing with Xiao Bai, and when he heard that Sister Fairy was asking for concern, he immediately suppressed his smile and said: "Xiao Yi has been beaten and punished a lot since he was a child, but most of them are alive and kicking in one day, and he has never had an emergency. ”
Yao Ji nodded, stretched out her white jade-like hand, revealing her wrist, and there was also an identical bird pattern in the center of her wrist, which was shocking, but it was more simple and purple.
Xiao Yi saw this scene, "ah", and exclaimed: "You...... Sister Fairy, why do you have this pattern too?"
Yao Ji sighed slightly and said: "This Xuanniao symbol is an ancient Wu totem in the south, its ancestors are rumored to be the ancient fire ancestor Suiren clan, the capable people in the clan are more proficient in sacrificing Xuanniao, and they can control the Xuanhuo as they wish. It's just that you're still young, and you're from a ...... Well, how do you provoke such an enemy?"
Xiao Yi heard that Xuanhuo was so terrifying, and his heart was flustered, but he was afraid that the fairy sister would look down on him, so he straightened his chest at the moment, and pretended to be casual: "I haven't heard of the old witch clan, but I heard that there are many people in the southern Chu country who are good at making firebirds eat people, I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Yao Ji looked at Xiao Yi, as if she was a little confused, and said softly: "Maybe the Wu Clan is what you call the Chu State!" After saying that, a pair of autumn pupil eyes suddenly became blurred, staring at the Xuanyan bird pattern in the wrist, silent.
Xiao Yi only said that Sister Fairy was thinking about a good way to heal herself, and secretly thought in her heart: "Nine times out of ten, this Chu Country is the hateful old witch clan, I don't know if Sister Fairy is plotted by them." Yes, Sister Fairy was also in this ice gully every day to resist fire poison. Thinking of this, the hatred for the Chu State deepened a little in my heart.
After a long time, Yao Ji seemed to wake up from her contemplation, looked at this thin young man, seemed to have a lot of questions, and said: "Although Gongzi has a dark wound in his body, he has the restraint of Black Water True Qi, but Gongzi is not like a person who practices martial arts and cultivates Qi, how can he have such an adventure?"
Xiao Yi was born as a kitchen slave, and when it comes to cooking, Xiao Yi is definitely half an expert, but it is unheard of to practice martial arts and cultivate qi. Ben didn't care much about this, but when he heard Sister Fairy's inquiry, he felt that he had lost face, and lowered his head and whispered how he fell asleep in Yushan, how he dreamed of a ghost monument, and many strange sounds one by one, and he didn't dare to hide it. It's just that I really don't know that I have been caught in the life-and-death struggle between the two peerless masters, and of course I don't know how to fall into the empty valley.
Yao Ji heard him tell the truth, and she had already guessed the truth, and said: "The power of water and fire in Gongzi's body lies in the balance of yin and yang.
As long as the son rests and recuperates in the ice room every day, there is no big problem. If you want to cure it, you just need to have an adventure. ”
After pondering for a moment, he said: "The most serious thing about Childe at present is that his spirit is captured by ghost qi, which is detrimental to his longevity, but he cannot recover in a short time. ”
Xiao Yi thought it was okay at first, but at this moment he was taken aback in his heart, his knees were weak, and he almost sat down on the ground. Obviously, he is so good, how can he be so scary, and he has to reduce his life, but seeing that Sister Fairy looked solemn and didn't seem to be a lie, she muttered to herself in her heart: "Calm down, calm down, don't lose your face." ”
Yao Ji said again: "Childe don't have to worry, it's just that you have to listen to my arrangements in the future, here is a method of practicing qi, Childe can refer to it by himself, if you don't know something, you can come and ask me." ”
Yao Ji stretched out her slender pancreas, and as her onion fingers stretched, a scroll of ancient books fell straight into Xiao Yi's hands like wings.
Xiao Yi was grateful from the bottom of his heart, and he was determined to practice martial arts well, so that he could avenge Sister Fairy and Xu Guo in the future-
In the dead of night, the ice is dark.
Xiao Yi held the ancient book, and his heart was extremely excited, as if he had become a peerless master.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. Meditate with your legs in circles, place the scroll in front of you, and slowly spread it flat. The first sentence of the frontispiece: The sky is long, the earth is long. The reason why heaven and earth can last long is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever.
Xiao Yi thought that the ancient scroll would definitely engrave some cultivation methods, but he didn't expect that the beginning would be such a sentence for no reason, and he scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, and he couldn't figure it out anyway. I will continue to read: "It is better to hold on to it than to make a profit, and it is not as good as it is; If you turn a blind eye, you will be called Yi, if you don't hear it, you will be called Xi, and if you can't fight, you will be called a small name. These three cannot be interrogated, so they are mixed into one. There is no rope on it, there is no ambiguity under it, the rope is indescribable, and it returns to nothing. It is said to be formless, the image of nothing, and it is said to be trance. The first one is missing, and then the one is gone. The way of the ancients is to keep the present. Being able to know the beginning of the ancient times is the Taoist era. (Excerpt from the Tao Te Ching)
Xiao Yi read it again, only to feel dizzy, bored and nauseous. The initial excitement has long since vanished, and I am discouraged. I wanted to tear up the scroll casually, but then I thought: If Sister Fairy knows that I am so stupid, I will be disappointed.
Thinking about sitting cross-legged again, I forced myself to continue reciting. It's just that he was born a humble slave, and fortunately his good friend Li'er taught him to read and write. It's just that I'm not good at learning, so I know that I hate less when the book is used. After tossing all night, I couldn't remember just these more than 100 words.
The empty valley has been going on for a long time, and Xiao Yi also knows that it is not a moment. Every night, I meditate and practice qi according to what Yao Ji said, but I don't know how to practice qi, so I try to memorize ancient books, even if I ask Yao Ji if I don't understand, it is also to be able to eat the delicacies of the fairy sister.
Spring comes and winter, and Xiao Yi still hasn't been able to get a glimpse of the beginning of martial arts. However, Yao Ji's personality was indifferent, but she didn't care much, and seeing that the number of Xiao Yi's fire poison attacks was getting less and less, she simply didn't care. At the beginning, Xiaoyi memorized ancient books every day, and later saw that the fairy sister had a lot of books, and learned a lot of poems, lyrics and songs, and played the flute and music. As for the planting of flowers and cooking, it is even more easy to learn, and Yaohua is also more prosperous day by day, and at the end, he also boasts of Yaoyi, calling the panda Xiaobai Yaobai.
Having said that, Xiao Yi meditated every night but persevered. The only difference is that the ancient book has long been familiar.
Early in the morning, Xiao Yi had breakfast from Yaoji's place, and went to the pond to take care of Yaohua. When he was still far away, Xiao Yi saw a bloated black and white figure sitting by the pool, who else would there be if it wasn't Xiao Bai?
Xiao Yi laughed secretly in his heart: It turns out that this foodie has come to steal nectar again, let me play tricks on it. While thinking about it, he tiptoed behind Xiaobai and exclaimed, "Sister Yaoji is here, run." ”
The morning breeze blew, and the screams echoed layer by layer, and Xiaobai drooped his head and ignored him. Xiao Yi was extremely embarrassed, turned to Xiao Bai, and was slightly stunned, only to see a gray squirrel lying in front of Xiao Bai, with a fluffy tail on the ground, obviously not alive for a long time.
Xiao Yi suddenly realized, thinking that this little squirrel was a good friend that Xiao Bai had made recently, and often picked high fruits for Xiao Bai to eat. It is estimated that Xiaobai is sad and sad at the moment. Thinking of this, his heart softened, and he said: "Xiaobai, do you know? My hometown, relatives and friends are gone, we will let him be buried in the earth, so that his soul can ascend to heaven and turn into stars to look at you."
