Chapter 14: Retrograde Internal Forces (Part I)
On an autumn day, hanging diagonally on the pine trees, the west wind blew coolly, and the whining sound between the branches and leaves seemed to be someone crying.
The insects who talk a lot on weekdays have become taciturn and boring, and they only have the strength to scream two or three times after a long time.
It seems that the bleak winter, sooner or later, is still coming.
Sleepless sat on horseback and gently hugged Luo Xiangzhu. As a man, it may not be appropriate to hug a woman like this.
The pedantic Mencius once used the ethics of "uncle and sister-in-law" to expound the great defense of men and women, but he also gave a buffer zone of moral judgment of "sister-in-law", reaching out to help, and "power".
Sleepless at night didn't understand this, he didn't have time to think about it so much, all he was thinking about now was how to save himself.
In Luo Xiangzhu's ear, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Miss, don't worry, there is still me." ”
Luo Xiangzhu felt an itch in his ears, but his fists became stronger. She tugged at the reins, feigned coughing, and took the opportunity to hum.
After receiving her reply, I couldn't sleep at night.
took the time to look at the few black elk gangsters who followed him: Lai Cong put poison in his eyes, Zhang Daqiu's complexion did not change, and as for the others, they took out dry food at some point, and gnawed indiscriminately between walks, like an old horse in a hurry, eating a mouthful of grass on the side of the road, nothing particular.
Sleepless at night, he said: "Take out the dry food to eat, it means that this place is still some distance away from the old nest of Black Elk Peak." Otherwise, these thieves can hold back their hunger, and when they return home, they will eat hot food. ”
He took a deep breath. The experience of the rivers and lakes has not been completely thrown away, and the detailed observation that comes in handy in time is enough to determine life and death.
"Since I can still stay on horseback for a while, I must seize this precious opportunity to complete the retrograde of internal forces. In order to fight for a glimmer of life! ”
Taking advantage of Zhang Daqiu and the others, they did not pay attention to their side when they accepted the courteous lunch of their minions. Sleepless at night, his teeth clenched, and his left palm quietly flipped over.
The internal force began to break through the shackles of inertia and embark on the retrograde road in a direction different from the past.
"When contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, when he walks in the deep Prajnaparamita..."
"Heart Sutra", secretly recited in his heart. The logic of the line of qi that is commented on the Heart Sutra begins to be overturned, moving in the opposite direction.
A thin layer of sweat quickly broke out on his head. A feeling of déjà vu slowly grows and grows stronger: the retrograde meridians, as if they are using the numb tendons in the crook of the elbow, repeatedly bumping against the table.
Very uncomfortable, unusually uncomfortable.
Normal people don't do that. If a normal person accidentally touches a hemp tendon, he will immediately remove his hand instead of touching it repeatedly.
But the person who is retrograde in the meridian is like crazy, knocking once, and having to endure numbness, and then knocking again, again, again...... Each time it is heavier and faster.
Out of place, out of place, out of place.
"Uh......" When he went retrograde to the Jingmen acupoint, he couldn't help the pain of sleepless night, and whispered softly.
His eyes flickered, like a candle in the wind, precarious.
Zhang Daqiu heard the voice and looked at him.
The red-haired old horse snorted suddenly, masking the moan, and walked less steadily, and the horse's back jolted.
The thief was suspicious, chewing dry food in his mouth, and scolding his godmother: "Little girl, why is your face suddenly so white?" Like a paper piercing a man's face. Sweat is still a bean. What disease do you have? Don't die, I haven't started enjoying it yet! ”
Sleepless at night, his pale lips brought a sad smile, and said, "King Zhang, the slave family is a martial arts master, how can he easily get sick?" ”
Zhang Daqiu said suspiciously: "Then you are sweating profusely, what's the matter?" ”
Sleepless at night, he pretended to cough a few times, as if he was about to cough out the lobes of his lungs by the bumps of the red-haired old horse.
He pointed at Lai Cong and said: "When the slave family has martial arts, it is natural that they will not get sick easily. But now, by this thief's needle, the meridians have been sealed, resulting in an internal force, scurrying in the body, turning the world upside down, and no one can control it. The slave family hasn't vomited blood yet, it's already settled. King, you can steal the fun! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the dry food residue in Lai Cong's mouth squirted out, he didn't care about eating, and pointed to the sleepless night and said loudly: "Bloody mouth, bloody mouth!" My Absolute Pulse Divine Needle is just sealing the meridians, how can it disturb your internal strength for no reason? It's obvious that you're sick, but don't blame me for the needle! ”
Sleepless and weak, he let out a long throat sound, as if he wanted to argue, but he couldn't.
After a while, even the hand holding Luo Xiangzhu hung down. He muttered, "That's it, that's it." ”
Luo Xiangzhu immediately turned around and called his name anxiously: "Amiens, Amiens!" ”
Seeing that there was no reaction to sleepless night, she stared at Zhang Daqiu with a pair of big eyes and said: "If Amiens has any three long and two short, I will bite my tongue and kill myself, and when the time comes, you and the two corpses will go to the cave room!" ”
The tone was fierce, as if paprika was sprinkled in the autumn wind, making people unable to open their eyes.
Sleepless at night, half-closed eyes, did not let down their vigilance. Hearing Luo Xiangzhu's words, I was moved and felt funny.
He secretly said in his heart: "Miss, if we really become two corpses, I will also escort you on the Huangquan Road." At that time, I must have been more alert, and I wouldn't put you in danger like I did this time. ”
was thinking wildly, and in his worried eyes, Zhang Daqiu shook his head and walked over. The sleepless hand was held, and the pulse was pinched at the same time.
At this moment, his heart was pounding, and if Zhang Daqiu had bad intentions, he directly crushed his pulse, and Huangquan Lu Ke immediately appeared at his feet.
The feared situation did not arise. Sleepless at night pretended to open his eyes forcibly, and when he saw Zhang Daqiu's ugly mole face, he heard the thief frown and said: "The little girl really didn't lie to me, the internal force is really indiscriminate, and it's all retrograde." ”
Sleepless at night, his brows jumped. As soon as this thief took the pulse, he could actually find that his internal force was retrograde; If you go any further and discover your intentions, I am afraid that there will be no possibility of survival.
His heart was beating even more violently, and the internal force that had stopped rushing to the acupoint was actually active again, gathering near the Jingmen acupoint, and consciously moving: the forward and the backward, the backward, the left and right, up and down, irregular.
is really angry, and of course the sleepless face is white for a while, red for a while, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is a complete aggravation of the injury, and there are even signs of going crazy.
Such a tragic situation made Lai Cong and Zhang Daqiu not think that he was deliberately retrograde with internal force, but when he was indeed harmed by the Pulse Divine Needle, his internal force was disordered, which led to retrograde.
Lai Cong looked at the face that seemed to be dying at any time, and said, "King, this little maid is dying." If she dies, you can take advantage of the heat! At that time, you will also save a lot of trouble. ”
Zhang Daqiu glared at Lai Cong suddenly, staring at this scoundrel so much that he couldn't speak, so he had to hold dry food in one hand and gag his mouth.
