Chapter Twenty-Three: Zhenhai Palace

"The tiger lies in the mountains and seas, the sun dives in the yin, embraces the moon, the ditch flows the heaven and the earth, hides its use, breathes deeply, and the white clouds lie high, and the world is with me." ”

The song of "Crouching Tiger Gong" continued to echo in Lin Cheng's mind, as if he saw a huge divine tiger lying prone between the mountains and seas, with the blue sky on his head, his feet on the mountains and rivers, the diagram of yin and yang with him, and the moon and stars running slowly.

Between a breath and a breath, there seems to be thunder ringing, there seems to be a fire burning, there seems to be a wave of water surging, the wind is moving, the sky and the earth are changing, and it is immovable!

"Lying high in the South Mountain, the god of sleep often lies in the white clouds; the dream soul is dark into the yin and yang aperture, and the breath is latent in the creation of the arts; who knows the hidden chaos, and mortals practice the opportunity to seize the sky; my generation is an immortal among the immortals, and the heaven and earth are a dream!"

"Heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, is this the Xuan Realm where 'Crouching Tiger Gong' surpasses the Yellow Realm? Among the dozens of generations of descendants of the Lin family, only Lin Gong's ancestors have reached the realm. I didn't really get there, but I peeked into the doorway......"

"Knock Knock ......"

After a long breath, Lin Cheng's eyelids moved slightly, and he finally opened his eyes slowly. However, at that moment, the thick black liquid slammed open his eyelids, soaking his eyeballs.

A hot stinging sensation followed, and in an instant, it hurt his heart and lungs, and life was worse than death, and he involuntarily opened his mouth and screamed miserably! The liquid was immediately poured into his mouth, choking his voice!

Lin Cheng was taken aback, instinctively closed his mouth, closed his eyes, and struggled desperately. However, his legs and feet were stuck to something sticky like glue, and he couldn't break free.

"I'm not dead!"

After calming down, Lin Cheng first thought that he didn't die, and he was lucky to survive!

"What is this place? What's going on?"

Then, he quickly realized that he seemed to be trapped by something, unable to move at all. It is surrounded by an unknown liquid that stings the eyeballs, and although it is extremely clear, it is more than ten times heavier than ordinary water!

Secretly glad that he had picked up a life, Lin Cheng was not too happy, but immediately began to think about his current situation.

"After the 'Crouching Tiger Gong' reached the peak of the Yellow Realm, I was able to breathe water in the water!"

Aware that his steady breathing in the water was almost no different from normal breathing, Lin Cheng couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, trying to swallow and vomit the liquid that submerged him, feeling extremely comfortable, and there seemed to be no sense of oppression.

"Although the eyes were in severe pain from being pressed just now, they seem to be better at this time, which means that there is no toxin in this liquid. Moreover, although this liquid is heavy, it is pure water without impurities, but it is different from ordinary water, and it should not be ordinary water, but spiritual water. The reason why my eyes hurt is probably because I haven't gotten used to this spiritual water. ”

After roughly understanding the joints, Lin Cheng tried to open his eyes again, and the tingling sensation followed, as if he wanted to destroy his eyeballs alive, but he endured more than ten breaths before closing his eyes.

In this way, Lin Cheng endured the intense pain and began to exercise his eyes tirelessly!

......

After more than ten days have passed, Lin Cheng can only hold on to more than a dozen breaths at the beginning, and now he can continue to open his eyes for more than thirty breaths.

Although he was hungry in his belly, he did not feel sleepy at all, and the water he swallowed seemed to have nutrients better than food to support his body.

However, although Lin Cheng was able to open his eyes for more than thirty breaths in a row, it was still pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.

At one point, he began to become discouraged, wondering if he was blind. But there is another voice in the bottom of my heart, which is hinting that I want to persevere, and when my eyes can adjust to the infiltration of this liquid, the answer will be revealed.

Night after night.

Although Lin Cheng has a clear mind, in this extremely dark space, he can't remember the time at all, but he just runs the "Crouching Tiger Gong" method without stagnation, and continues to exercise his eyeballs!

Moreover, every once in a while, he also has to cultivate the internal strength of "Snake Tail Tiger Fist", so that his internal breath wanders happily in his body. When the body is not moving, it can make the muscles and bones "beat actively" vigorously, so as to temper the body.

Although he was trapped, he did not dare to give up his cultivation, because a long period of stillness would cause his muscles to atrophy, his bones to loosen, and his strength to drain. If he wants to save his life, seeing the status quo clearly is the premise, and in addition, he needs to be ready at all times!

However, this strange shackle did not wait for Lin Cheng to break it. About ten days later, he suddenly felt slender tentacles gradually grow from the slime behind him, crawling all over his body like snakes.

What is especially terrifying is that on his head, there is a huge gelatinous substance that wraps the entire back of his head. Many hair-thin things followed the holes of his hair, burrowed into his skull, and touched the fragile brain......

Under this kind of change, how could Lin Cheng not be shocked, where could he still take care of exercising his eyes, in a panic, he struggled violently, in a vain attempt to shake off the terrible shackles!

But the more he struggled, the tighter the bindings became, almost wrapping them around a cocoon.

"The more critical it is, the more you have to calm down!"

Lin Cheng struggled frantically for a long time, and when he was about to run out, he finally woke up and remembered the admonition as a hunter. I forcibly calmed my mind and continued to exercise my eyes, but the intensity was greatly strengthened!

......

I don't know when Lin Cheng's eyes have begun to flow blood, and the membranous matter on the eyeballs has been soaked by this unknown spiritual water!

The pain was so intense that he couldn't bear it at all, and he almost crushed his teeth. If it weren't for the fact that his hands were tied, he might even lose control in a trance of madness and dig it out with his own hands!

However, just when Lin Cheng's eye mask completely fell off and he could barely open his heavy eyelids anymore, he suddenly felt a refreshing feeling in his dry and painful eye sockets.

There seemed to be a dense mass of tiny things stuck to his festering eyeballs, rearranged and combined, forming a water-like crystal, replacing the membrane that had fallen off before.

The dark light penetrated his eyes, which had been swallowed up by darkness for too long, and he could vaguely see something, but it was scattered, faint, and unclear......

Brightly focused, focused, refocused......

Eventually, the scattered and faint light and shadow gradually overlapped to form a distinctly visible scene.

"I can see! I can see at last!"

Behind the pale black water, there is a dazzling black curtain barrier that exudes a ghostly light, like a crystal film formed by the condensation of a thick black liquid!

"What the hell is this?"

Lin Cheng was taken aback at first, and then began to patiently and carefully observe, and found that in front of him was a dazzling black film the size of a person, and behind him was a black hard shell, as if he was wrapped in a huge cocoon filled with liquid......
