Chapter Thirty-Nine: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
Ruoxue's chest was red, and although it was no longer bleeding, the toxin had begun to spread and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. Ling Ning stretched out his hand and hesitated, he told himself that he was saving her life and not taking advantage of her......
I don't know if it's because I'm too nervous, his hands are a little trembling, he swallows his saliva, and slowly reaches out to untie the placket on her chest little by little, and a piece of snow-white skin is impressively displayed in front of his eyes. As warm and snow-white as mutton fat and white jade as far as the eye can reach, it is smoother and softer than the most expensive silk in the world...... It's just that Bai Bi is not flawless, there is a wound on it, fortunately, it is not serious, but the black gas after poisoning is very conspicuous.
With the utmost perseverance, he forced himself to turn his attention to the wound on her left breast, and then cautiously pressed his palm against the crisp breast, which was not far from the wound...... This action seemed to affect her wounds, and Ruoxue unconsciously let out a "thump" in pain, which made Ling Ning's heartbeat uncontrollably accelerate again.
He constantly recited the Taoist "Pure Heart Formula" in his heart: "A pure heart is like water, and clear water is the heart." The breeze is silent, and the waves are not alarmed. Sitting alone, the harp whistled and sounded. Zen silence is settled, and the poisonous dragon hides ......"
But even so, his gaze uncontrollably stayed on the snow white on Ruoxue's chest, and he couldn't take it off for a long time......
When the blood from her wound turned red, he removed his palm with the determination of "a strong man breaks his wrist", bandaged her wound, and then dredged the meridians for her to remove toxins from her body, and he did not stop until her face was rosy again.
Ling Ning let out a sigh, as soon as he touched his forehead, his forehead was covered with sweat, and even his heartbeat was beating violently, as if he had just experienced a vicious battle! He paused slightly, took out a new coat and put it on her, and finally sat cross-legged beside her and began to exercise pranayama.
However, after a while, he suddenly heard the sound of Ruoxue's teeth chattering, and after checking it, he found that her clothes were already soaked again, and he realized that the cold qi in this strange mist was too heavy, so it made her clothes soaked, and she didn't wake up for so long, probably because there was too much yin qi accumulated in her body that could not be discharged.
But why didn't he do anything himself? Thinking about it, it is likely that the "Transformation Divine Decision" absorbs and refines the cold qi for its own use during the operation.
Thinking of this, he thought of Qian Mei'er again, and wondered if she and Phantom Ji had escaped......
When he thought of Qian Mei'er, he wanted to fly to her immediately, but he didn't know where the other party was, which was really annoying.
He leaned Ruoxue's body against him, and then continued to close his eyes and breathe, if he wanted to leave this thick fog, he should wait for the woman to wake up first, if he kept carrying her on his back, it would always be a burden.
About an hour or so, Ruoxue woke up slowly, and when she found herself leaning on Ling Ning's arms in rags, she instantly panicked! She pushed Ling Ning away with a flushed face, and at the same time said angrily, "You...... You prodigal son! If you dare to be rude to me, I will kill you! ”
She drew her long sword regardless of her injuries, but the clothes she was wearing quietly slipped off and revealed a large area of snow-white skin, causing Ling Ning's gaze to look over unconsciously.
Ruoxue was even more ashamed, exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly reached out to firmly grasp the clothes, but the long sword fell to the ground with a "hurry".
Ling Ning smiled bitterly: "I just helped you bandage your wounds, and I didn't do anything else!" Everyone is a cultivator, you shouldn't have so many worldly taboos, right? ”
Although what he said makes sense, women are unreasonable, and Ruoxue is no exception!
She said angrily, "Have I begged you to help me bandage it?" Who made you stand up for yourself? You damned whore! I can't wait to kill you! You give me my innocence! I'm fighting with you! ”
Seeing that she was so excited, Ling Ning hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, don't be so impulsive, okay, we are still trapped in the fog now, and it is a question of whether we can get out alive!" When we get out of this fog, it's up to you how you want to fight with me, and now I don't have the energy to play with you. ”
"You say I...... Is it a joke? I'll let you see my ...... of the Shangqing Sect."
Before she could finish speaking, her face changed, apparently because of the pain caused by the wound.
"Look, you are asking for yourself! When you have time to be angry, you might as well sit down and rest, and when you're rested, it's time for us to think about getting out of here together. ”
"Humph! Who's going to think with you! Whoopy thief! ”
Although she said this, her body sat down and breathed cross-legged very honestly.
After a while, Ling Ning saw that she was almost pranayama, and asked, "You seem to hate us very much from the moment we met today, just for those scum?" As for it? ”
Ruoxue opened her eyes and looked at him viciously: "Who said it was for those scum?" ”
Ling Ning smiled, "Are you finally willing to admit that they are scum?" ”
Ruoxue snorted coldly and turned her head, closing her eyes and not answering.
"Hey, don't stop talking, I really want to know why! It's because I helped you bandage ......."
"You still say!" Ruoxue looked back at him angrily.
Ling Ning had no choice but to raise his hand in surrender: "Okay, good!" If you don't mention it, you should treat it as if nothing happened, and it is true anyway......"
"You!"
Ling Ning made a helpless expression, as if to say, "What do you want from me?" ”
Ruoxue looked at him for a long time, and then sighed, after all, her life was indeed saved by the guy in front of her, which she couldn't deny.
"Hey, tell me, why?"
Ruoxue sighed again, then met his eyes, and said, "You really don't know?" ”
"Ridiculous, how would I know?"
"Didn't the little demon fox tell you anything?"
"Say what? Don't call the old demon fox and the little demon fox, it's very rude. ”
Ruoxue glanced at him, and this sentence was obviously automatically omitted, "Nangong Hong, do you still have an impression of this name?" ”
Ling Ning nodded and said, "Yes, isn't it the girl in red who is with you, by the way, what about her?" Didn't see her this time, wasn't she with you? ”
Ruoxue sneered, "Do you know how that little demon fox dealt with my poor sister Hong?" ”
"It's all said, you speak with respect!" Ling Ning was dissatisfied, but he still tried hard to recall the situation of the day, "That day, Nangong Hong fell for Mei'er's trick to lure the enemy and was the first to lose a trace...... Afterwards...... I haven't seen her since then, I asked Mei'er, but Mei'er only said that she would teach her a little lesson, and didn't say what it was, what? Is there anything wrong? ”
Although Nangong Hong has a hot personality and is unreasonable, he has never done any great evil, he firmly believes that with Qian Mei'er's character, he will not kill her, at most he will punish her. But with Qianmei'er's character, he couldn't guess how he would be punished.
"A little lesson...... Hey...... What a little lesson! That demon fox is simply ...... It's damn it! ”
"If you have something to say, just say it, what happened to Nangong Hong Mei'er?"
"How? She ......"
Although Ruoxue's anger surged, she seemed to be a little difficult to speak, and she always pressed Nangong Hong's experience under her tongue and refused to speak out, which made Ling Ning even more curious.
"There are no outsiders here, if you want us to confess our guilt, you have to tell some incriminating evidence, what's the matter?"
"Good! I'm telling you! The demon fox ...... Sister Hong's whole body All over the body are stripped of their clothes! Still...... and also sealed her true yuan...... Just tied hands and feet and threw them into the ravine! Are you satisfied? ”
Ling Ning was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't cry or laugh, to be honest, this is the best way to deal with that arrogant and hot-tempered Nangong Hong! But he was sure that even if Qian Mei'er sealed Nangong Hong's True Yuan, she would not block it for too long, and it would be easy for her True Yuan to recover and escape.
"Nangong Hong, this can be regarded as evil retribution, but her true yuan recovery can naturally break free from the shackles, this is indeed a small punishment."
"How dare you say it! Sister Red...... Sister Red, she ......"
"What the hell happened to her?"
"She's been raped!"
"What did you say?"
Ling Ning was taken aback, it is said that the mountains have always been deserted, and Nangong Hong was thrown into the ravine again, and it was even more difficult to be discovered, how could she be raped?
"Who is that man? Can you catch it? ”
Ruoxue shook her head in frustration, "Sister Hong has always been reluctant to say the situation at that time, I didn't know about her rape at first, but later...... Afterward...... I couldn't hide it, so she said......"
Ling Ning asked tentatively, "What do you mean by really can't hide it?" ”
Ruoxue looked up at him: "What do you say?" ”
She ...... She has a bun in the oven? ”
Ruoxue sneered a few times: "Yes, are you satisfied?" ”
Ling Ning was stunned, he stayed for a moment before saying, "So...... Don't you know who the perpetrator is? ”
"Sister Hong swore to die, naturally no one knows, now she has been sent back to the 'Immortal Dust Continent' to give birth, want to come now...... Ay! You also said it wasn't the demon fox's fault! ”
Ling Ning shook his head and said, "In my opinion, this is just an accident, the most important thing is to catch the perpetrator!" I know that you and Nangong Hong are sisters and sisters, but what is it if you are innocent and angry? If you have the ability, arrest the violent person out and correct the Fa! ”
Although this set of statements is very convincing, it does not affect Ruoxue's hatred for him in the slightest.
"You're with her, and you naturally speak to her! I can't kill you today, you shameless thief, and he will definitely take your life tomorrow! ”
"You woman is really unreasonable, one yard to one yard, I saved your life, don't you plan to repay me?"
"Repay? Hmph, did I ask you to save me? Moreover...... Hmph......"
"And what?"
"Besides, you've already returned to my roots after seeing my body! You have bad intentions, do you still have some good intentions? You ruined my innocence! You despicable and shameless thief, I want you to die! ”
"You!"
"How? If you want to kill me, do it! If I frown, I'm not human! ”
Looking at the "righteous indignation" and "righteousness" on her face, Ling Ning smiled instead of being angry: "Hehe, I won't kill you!" I'm going to spread the word about seeing your body! Truth be told, you have a few moles on your chest! I don't know who else will dare to marry you in the future! Hahaha! ”
"You! Shameless thief, I'll kill you right now! ”
This sentence obviously made Ruoxue angry enough, she desperately got up and wanted to fight with him, but her body was too weak and Ling Ning grabbed her hands and pulled her into her arms, as if she was deliberately going to throw herself into her arms!
"Whore! You let go! ”
Ruoxue was unforgiving, but she could clearly feel the heat on Ling Ning's body, it was as warm as a raging flame in this extremely cold fog, to be honest, she was a little reluctant to leave, but her strong self-esteem didn't allow her to think so, let alone do it.
Ling Ning put his mouth close to her ear: "If I don't let go, then what?" Are you going to kill me? ”
"You!"
Looking at the playful smile on the face of the man in front of her, she was suddenly ashamed, and even the roots of her ears were red! The pink and small earlobes were more like delicate red pomegranates, and Ling Ning almost took a bite.
"If you won't let me go...... I bit my tongue and killed myself! ”
Ling Ning lowered her head and looked at her eyes carefully, knowing that she wasn't joking, "Hmph, do you really think I'm so rare about you?" But you'd better be honest, even if you have to wait for your body to recover, otherwise you can only bring shame on yourself! ”
He quickly put Ruoxue's body on the ground, and then got up and walked away, looking like a "righteous gentleman".
Leaving his warm embrace, to be honest, Ruoxue felt a little bit of loss in her heart, and the cold and piercing feeling returned, she gritted her teeth and secretly thought in her heart: "Hmph! 'It's not too late for a woman to take revenge for ten years', you prodigal son and great thief! Sooner or later, Miss Ben will have to make you pay back double! ”
Ling Ning saw that she started to shiver again after a while, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you suffering from internal injuries?" I've already bandaged your wounds, why are you still trembling like this? ”
Ruoxue gave him a fierce look: "You...... What do you think...... Do I think? You whore......
Ling Ning squatted down and half-jokingly and half-threatened: "Hey, hey, hey, if you call me a lewd thief again, I'll really show you lewdness!" ”
Ruoxue saw that his gaze kept wandering over her, and hurriedly tightened the clothes on her body, she was really afraid that he would be "beastly", so she could only snort reluctantly but didn't dare to shout like this again.
Ling Ning was very satisfied when she seemed to have softened, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Why is it shivering like this? ”
"I ...... What's wrong with me? It's in the air...... Ahem...... Filled with the cold poison of the most yin...... You...... Don't you feel it? Still...... And ask me what's wrong? ”
Ling Ning suddenly realized that he really didn't have any special feelings, maybe it was the "Transformation Divine Decision" running in his body that absorbed the cold qi for his own use, so he was not affected, to be honest, he felt more energetic.
He immediately thought about whether Qian Mei'er and the others were also in trouble because of this, and they had to hurry to the rescue! But where should he go in the "vast sea of fog"? Even the "Linglong Jade" of the interrogation became dull and unresponsive......
"Hey, I'll help you......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his palm, but Ruoxue shrank in fright, and said tremblingly, "You...... What are you doing? ”
Ling Ning smiled bitterly, "What can I do?" Naturally, it is to help you get rid of the cold poison, don't worry, I have already done what I want to do, do I have to wait until now? ”
After saying that, he grabbed her cold little hand without saying a word.
"You ......"
Ruoxue struggled twice, and a warm current ran down her palms all over her body, taking away the cold poison in her body. This feeling is too comfortable, there is a feeling that she has not seen the light of day for a long time in the cold winter and suddenly turns into bathed in the warm sun, and a fluttering taste of fairy wells up in her heart, which makes her really can't bear to resist.
Even so, she still said to herself in her heart: "I'm not giving in to him, I'm just a 'little woman' who can bend and stretch, and this is also to consume more of his true yuan, and when his true yuan is exhausted, I will kill this lewd thief with a sword......
"How's it going, are you better?"
Ruoxue nodded slightly, she did not feel cold now, but if he took back the true yuan, she would still fall into the cold, thinking of this, she was really a little reluctant in her heart.
"You...... Take your hand back, I don't need it, thank you. ”
Ling Ning smiled, he knew that the woman in front of him had a strong self-esteem, so he pulled her up and said, "Don't be reckless!" Let's find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, and if you faint for a while, it's too cumbersome, so I'll hold your hand reluctantly, so that you can move quickly. ”
"You...... You're ...... burden."
Ruoxue protested quietly, but rarely refused his proposal.
Seeing that she didn't object to Ling Ning and knew that this was already her concession, he observed that there was still a thick fog around him.
"Let's discuss how to get out, what do you think of this place? It's a strange thing to be at the entrance to the Grand Canyon but not a single tree has been seen after running for so long......"
Seeing him get down to business, Ruoxue also became serious, "What's so strange about this, it means that we are no longer in the same place." The moment we touched the fog, we were teleported to the inside of the fog, which is simply another dimension. ”
"I think so, too, but isn't there a limit to this space? How do you get out? ”
Ruoxue pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that the family teacher once said that the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk' is a mysterious phenomenon that causes cold in the clouds, and often appears randomly near the place where a large number of unjust souls gather, and then marches towards the gathering place of unjust souls, devouring all living beings along the way, imprisoning their souls in it forever, never beyond life. ”
"Are you saying that it will appear near places where there are large gatherings of unjust spirits? How far is that? ”
"It's not clear, sometimes it's far away, sometimes it's close...... This phenomenon is already very rare and weird, and anyone who encounters it will avoid it, and who will risk their lives to investigate it in detail? ”
"Judging from the direction it is going, it must be Dongyou! Why has Dongyou been doing so much recently, what is going on there? ”
"Who knows, it's really unlucky, I really can't figure out why this phenomenon appears in the Mortal Dust Continent......"
"What else did your master say? Is there a way to escape? ”
"In the past, there were indeed monks who escaped, but they were very rare, and someone had done a special investigation, and many of those who escaped were already insane, talking nonsense, and some of them were sober and couldn't tell why they were able to escape, they were just teleported out without warning, and there was no reason."
"How could it be without warning...... Is it possible that the 'Hyakki Night Walk' is artificial? ”
"Maybe there is such a possibility, it must be a very superb cultivator to perform such an unpredictable method, but...... But if it's really artificial...... Why didn't it trigger the strangulation of the Xuanyuan Sword Array? ”
"Yes, that's a problem......"
It stands to reason that this kind of large-scale spell must be beyond the scope of the early stage of the Dan Alliance, and the caster will definitely trigger the strangulation of the Xuanyuan Sword Array. But since he heard the palace master say the "immortal technique", he faintly felt that this "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" was probably also a kind of "immortal technique", so it would not cause the strangulation of the Xuanyuan Sword Array. But no matter how you think about it, these are speculations, and there is no substantial evidence.
"I feel that the ultimate purpose of this 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk' is likely to be to collect a large number of resentful spirits and then use them for some kind of cultivation, and those who escaped may have been released on purpose, the purpose is to keep the monks away and not be disturbed."
"That makes sense, do you have a plan?"
"Actually, there is no strategy...... Ling Ning smiled, and the stone sword in his palm turned in his hand, "It's better to try to 'throw stones and ask for directions' first!" ”
