Chapter 66: The Line of Life and Death, the Millennial Ice Silkworm
It was already approaching dawn, Ye Lingfeng symbolically said hello to Grandma Tong, and walked towards the imperial city. Grandma Tong sighed, only feeling that she should really restrain her temperament in front of this teacher and nephew. Today, there are also the third and fourth competitions of martial arts recruitment, although the competition is a piece of cake for him, but if he is disqualified because of the missed time, it will be too much to lose.
Today's match is still the same as yesterday, with a random draw to pick opponents, and then compete in the allocated ring to determine the winner. There is nothing to say in the game, as long as it is not on the void bamboo, he thinks that anyone against him is a one-palm kill, and this is indeed the case.
Today's two opponents are both excellent warriors of Daliao, and their strength is obviously higher than that of ordinary contestants, and it seems that yesterday's provocation has angered the king of the Southern Courtyard, and he is specifically looking for a relationship to make these two elite opponents his opponents. However, this Yelu Hong Derui obviously underestimated himself, the combined strength of these two people can't even touch the edge of a first-class master, how can it be Ye Lingfeng's opponent, both games were completely abused, and they lost badly.
After solving today's opponent, Ye Lingfeng can clearly find that there are obviously many fewer participants in this competition, and I heard some martial artists say that only fifty people can participate in the last competition, it seems that these four ring matches are really a big problem for ordinary people.
When he was about to leave the Lingzhou Imperial City, Ye Lingfeng suddenly heard the whispers of several Western Xia officials who were about to enter the court, and he knew that it seemed to be a topic related to Princess Yinchuan through lip reading, and he thought of yesterday's Spring Festival, and his heart suddenly twitched. He put on a mask, kidnapped an ordinary-looking official with a similar figure on the way, and followed the group of officials who had gathered together to discuss in a whisper.
Following the flow of people, Ye Lingfeng and other officials came to the main hall of a garden, he observed the environment everywhere, and secretly thought in his heart: To be able to mobilize so many officials to enter the court together, it seems that it must be the edict of Li Xiaoren, the lord of Western Xia.
But it is clear that the emperor summoned the ministers, but he did not choose to meet in the main hall of the palace, it seems that the matter discussed this time is not a state matter, and it is related to the princess of Yinchuan, but so many people have been gathered, it seems that Li Xiaoren thinks that today's matter can be discussed, then it will not be because the princess lost her virginity and summoned the ministers, after all, this is a big royal family ugly, no one can fully guarantee the loyalty of these courtiers, if the news leaks, then this competition to recruit relatives will be in vain.
Ye Lingfeng thought about it, could it be that the princess had an accident after last night? But when she walked by herself, Li Qinglu was obviously breathing smoothly and was fine, because she was moisturized, her pretty face was more flushed, with a bit of mature style. I remember it clearly, it was definitely not a sickly weakness, and today's events were really strange.
I was puzzled in my heart, and I saw a strong and heroic middle-aged man walking out of the curtain of the main hall, with a heroic spirit on his face, wearing a yellow robe, with his hands behind his back, very high-ranking person's momentum, followed by several eunuchs and maidservants, and when the important ministers saw the comer, they hurriedly saluted, and their expressions were very respectful. Ye Lingfeng was mixed in, and imitated it perfunctorily.
Li Xiaoren sat on the main seat of the main hall, with a solemn expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, today I suddenly invited you into the palace, I believe you have also got the news, the most beloved little girl under my knees Yinchuan has some problems with her body, the temperature on the surface of her body has become extremely low, and the whole person has been asleep since yesterday after resting in the dormitory, until now, please come to see the imperial doctor, but I learned that Yinchuan's vitality is constantly losing." ”
"The life and death of Yinchuan is related to the great plan of the Western Xia Kingdom, as a father, I also feel distressed when I see the little girl like this, I invite you to come here today, I hope that you can come up with strange calculations, whether it is a folk secret recipe, or a martial arts medicine, as long as your method can save the princess, the official enters the three products, and rewards five hundred taels of gold, I Li Xiaoren will do what he says. If you are not sure now, you can go to Yinchuan Palace to see the situation of the princess first, according to the words of the imperial doctor, the princess can only hold on for three days, and I will bother you to do your best. ”
Ye Lingfeng was not too anxious, otherwise his identity might be seen, he followed a few obviously respected officials into the palace, only to see Princess Yinchuan with picturesque eyebrows, covered with a royal brocade quilt lying there, a few white-bearded old men on the side pointed and discussed, and one of them closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
Ye Lingfeng was surprised, under the pretext that he was a doctor, and wanted to take a look for the princess, he probed through a layer of handkerchief, but found that the princess's whole body was covered by a layer of ice, and even her breath seemed to be nothing. I felt like I was dying.
He was suddenly shocked, his face remained unchanged, and he hurriedly used the Yi Jin Sutra to activate the blood, and used the true qi of the Northern Darkness to cross into her body, and as the body temperature gradually warmed, Ye Lingfeng withdrew his internal strength, but an inexplicable cold aura rose up to the sky, wrapping Princess Yinchuan's whole body in a layer of ice. Ye Lingfeng didn't believe in evil, and used a yang finger to expend internal force and cross the pure masculine internal force into her body, but the effect was still not good.
Ye Lingfeng tried for a while but to no avail, so he had no choice but to follow those important ministers out of the palace, he changed his head and went straight to the temple in the suburbs, Li Qinglu didn't know what was going on at this time. If you want to save her, apart from Li Qiushui, only the well-informed Grandma Tong can do it.
Back in the temple, Ye Lingfeng explained Li Qinglu's situation to Grandma Tong, who had a solemn face and suspected that the princess had been poisoned by cold, but it was difficult to conclude if he didn't go to investigate in person. Grandma Tong speculated that the source should be in the ice cellar, and the two decided to stay until the evening to explore the Xixia Palace again.
……
Time passed quickly, night fell, Ye Lingfeng and Grandma Tong got rid of the obviously increased guards along the way, and went straight to Yinchuan Palace, Grandma Tong saw the appearance of this little girl, and was suddenly shocked, squinted her eyes slightly and said: "The look of this girl... It seems that in the ice cellar yesterday, there should be a piece of Li Qiushui's slut who kept a thousand-year-old ice silkworm practicing martial arts. When the two of you were happy yesterday, the cold air entered her body, and after a night, the toxin had penetrated deep into the bone marrow. ”
"This ice silkworm is a top-notch tonic for those who practice the Yin and Cold Exercises, and refining a little bit during daily cultivation is enough to make cultivation refined." Grandma Tong's tone changed, and said, "But for ordinary people, the cold poison in this thing is a poison that can kill people, fortunately, you came to me in time, if it is a day late, listen to the guidance of the quack doctor, this little girl's life will really not be saved." ”
"Take her and we'll go to the ice cellar." Grandma Tong turned around and said: "When the time comes, you may have to eat some bones, if you want to save this girl, you have to use your own ability to forcibly absorb the ice silkworm, and then use the true qi in your body to transform the toxin, and use it to help this girl expel the toxin from her body in the way of poison and poison." There is also a risk in this matter, if you don't suppress the toxin when absorbing the ice silkworm, once the poison occurs, your meridians are likely to be directly destroyed and become a waste, can you think about it? ”
Ye Lingfeng nodded firmly, followed Grandma Tong to the ice cellar, hugged the princess, and looked at the little face of the beautiful woman who was shivering from the cold, which was really cute. Thinking of such a peerless beauty dying like this, I really feel resentful in my heart, Qinglu, if you hold on, I will absorb the ice silkworm to save you!
Under the guidance of Grandma Tong, he used the true qi of the Northern Darkness to find a secret door in the wall, the room inside was very narrow, and a jade box with exquisite tricks was placed inside, which was not locked, after Ye Lingfeng opened it, a cold air came to his face, and there was a milky white insect inside, which looked young and amiable, who would have thought that this thing had lived for thousands of years.
After years of nourishment by Li Qiushui, this ice silkworm has gradually changed from snow-white to snow-blue, and is completing its thousand-year-old transformation. At this time, Ye Lingfeng opened the jade box, which happened to make the ice silkworm be stimulated by the outside world and begin its final transformation. The whole process happened very quickly, the ice silkworm was like a piece of jade jade, the whole body was crystal clear, and the all-pervasive biting chill was also breathtaking, chilling.
Ye Lingfeng heard Grandma Tong's words, and didn't care about anything else, so he swallowed the struggling ice silkworm in one gulp, the cold of this little thing was not ordinarily powerful, his mouth, hair and eyebrows immediately froze, and a cold to the bones, from the mouth, throat, stomach, intestines, all the way down, everywhere he went, even the blood vessels and meridians were frozen into ice.
This thousand-year-old ice silkworm is certainly a first-class heaven and earth treasure, but it is necessary to follow a certain procedure, and only with the help of foreign objects can it safely absorb its icy power, which is You Tanzhi in the original work of the year, and it was also a coincidence to try with Shenmu Wang Ding, which completed the absorption of the thousand-year-old ice silkworm.
It is too bold for someone like Ye Lingfeng to not only directly contact with his hands, but also swallow this ice silkworm with his own mouth, but this can't be blamed on him, after all, Grandma Tong's experience is also a little insufficient, if the ice silkworm is not yet a thousand years old, it can indeed be devoured and absorbed in this way, but once the millennium experience is achieved, the cold and cold poison in the ice silkworm's body will be greatly enhanced, and if you use this method again, it is easy to hurt yourself.
However, fortunately in misfortune, Ye Lingfeng left a wisp of Northern Soul True Qi in his dantian before swallowing the ice silkworm, otherwise he would probably have been delirious at this time. And if it weren't for the data body given to him by space, it would be difficult for ordinary people's organs to withstand the cold poison at all, and they would be directly frozen by the cold of the ice silkworm, and eventually die.
The internal strength recovered by Grandma Tong during this period of time couldn't help at all, and when she saw the abnormality on Ye Lingfeng's body surface, she could only stare dryly and be anxious. However, in the current environment, affected by the cold nature of the ice silkworm, the true qi cultivated by the Liuhe Eight Desolation Solitude Martial Arts in Grandma Tong's body is surging, and the original strength is also rapidly recovering.
Most of Ye Lingfeng's practice of the Joyful One Vein Peerless Technique is actually essentially Yin and Cold attribute exercises, but he himself also cultivates superior Buddhist exercises such as the Yijin Sutra, the One Yang Finger and the Six Veins Divine Sword, although the conflict between the internal forces of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism was temporarily maintained by Wu Yazi with a body of cultivation for irrigation, but at this time, affected by the cold air, this balance was suddenly interrupted, and the internal force rioted, which made the situation that was already difficult to absorb ice silkworms even more severe.
