Chapter 20: Revenge
"Are you interested?" Jiang Wubian asked after smiling.
Since the other party had already said so, if Lin Tao said no, it would inevitably seem a little hypocritical, so he nodded immediately and said, "Of course!"
"Hmm!" Jiang Wubian then completely said the method of fake death in the family.
Lin Tao has been listening very carefully, and the method of suspended animation itself is not such an esoteric exercise, but it is very complicated, and it is still a little difficult to learn.
It wasn't until now that Lin Tao understood. In fact, there are several steps to this method of suspended animation, the first of course, you must learn to hold your breath. According to the method described by Jiang Wubian, Lin Tao first needed to lower the rate of breathing, and secondly, he could not exhale through the mouth and nose, but through the skin.
This alone surprised Lin Tao, and he became more interested in this method of fake death, but he also had more questions, but fortunately, he had the patience to explain them to Lin Tao one by one.
"Brother Jiang, I can understand that I don't breathe through my mouth and nose, but through my skin. So what do you do to stop your heartbeat according to what you said? If you stop your heartbeat, won't you die?" Lin Tao asked the curiosity in his heart.
Jiang Wubian smiled, and then said, "Indeed, this point itself is a bit difficult, and ordinary fighters can't do it. Only when all the size/acupoints of the whole body have reached the level of exaltation of fighting qi can be barely done, but it is only for a short time. Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Blocking the tendons and acupoints through the stimulation of Dou Qi can stop the heartbeat for a short time. However, it can only be for a short time, if the heartbeat stops for a long time, then the human body will be extremely harmed. Therefore, when I was seriously injured at that time, I immediately and decisively used the method of fake death, stopped my heartbeat, and made the other party think that I was dead, so I escaped. But just ten minutes later, I reached the point where I had to control my heartbeat. ”
Lin Tao listened to Jiang Wubian as if he was listening to a myth, and the horror in his heart could be imagined.
Stop your heartbeat, you can do it. Holding your breath itself is not a big skill, many strong people can do it, and it doesn't matter if you don't breathe for a few minutes or even ten minutes. But I've never heard anyone say that the heartbeat can be controlled to stop or beat. If the heart stops beating, doesn't it mean that the person is dead?
Jiang Wubian seemed to see Lin Tao's disbelief, smiled at the moment, and said, "What, you don't believe it?"
Lin Tao shook his head embarrassedly and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I've never heard of such a thing." ”
Jiang Wubian nodded, "That's it!" At that moment, the whole person exhaled, and then as if he had lost his strength, he relaxed. At the same time, his face rapidly turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his blood was gone, as if he were a dead man.
After a while, Jiang Wubian opened his eyes and smiled, "Now you see if I still have a heartbeat." ”
Hearing this, Lin Tao's right hand pressed on the pulse below Jiang Wubian's neck. Under this touch, it was like being pricked by a needle, and it was retracted like lightning, and at the same time the face was shocked. Sure enough, his heart had stopped, and the temperature of his body was slowly dropping and dissipating, and his skin was slowly starting to stiffen.
This time, Lin Tao can't believe it even if he doesn't believe it, because the truth is right in front of him.
Jiang Wubian seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Tao's dumbfounded expression now, laughed, and then his chest rose and fell violently, and the whole person was like a balloon that was full of air. "After using this method of suspended animation, there is no difference between the whole person and the real death, and the outside world cannot be distinguished at all. But you can see the consequences of this, the heart stops, the body temperature drops, and the skin stiffens. These are all shortcomings, and of course they are also necessary conditions for death, and these are things that we normal people cannot try more, otherwise it will bring great damage to the body. ”
Lin Tao nodded, and his heart became more interested in the method of fake death. Although under normal circumstances, this exercise is of little use, but it is still a way to save oneself in times of crisis.
So, Lin Tao put down his temperament and slowly followed Jiang Wubian to learn.
——————————————————————————————————————————
Time flies quickly, and the world of Coldwater Bay is still icy and snowy, white, and the biting cold wind is howling across every inch of land. But it's warm in the cave.
Lin Tao had already used the sleeping canopy he had previously slept in the wild to cover the only exit from the cave, and the cold wind could barely enter, coupled with the heat emitted when the Xiyang Stone was burning, it made the temperature of the entire cave much higher than the outside.
At this time, about a day had passed since Jiang Wubian taught Lin Tao the method of fake death.
In this day's time, Lin Tao finally touched the introduction of this method of suspended animation, and then it was much easier to learn.
In fact, this is also a way to play time, after all, Yijiang Wubian's current body can't adapt to the weather outside Cold Water Bay at all. The ice and snow were enough to worsen his injuries and make his cough worse, so waiting time to heal in the cave was a last resort.
Jiang Wubian was a little surprised that Lin Tao was able to touch the introduction of the method of suspended death in just one day. As a person who has come over, of course he knows that although this method of suspended death is far from being jerky and difficult to understand, there are some tricks that are not very easy to straighten out, and many people in the family have to spend a month or two or even longer cultivating to reach this point. Even if he was boundless himself, it took him a full week, but he didn't expect Lin Tao to be able to do this in just one day, which couldn't help but make Jiang Wubian very admired, and he called Lin Tao a genius with a high level of understanding.
After another day of burning, the volume of the Cyclic Stone became only a quarter of its original size, and it is estimated that it will be burned out in half a day at most.
Seeing this, Jiang Wubian couldn't help but ask Lin Tao with some worry, "Brother Lin, do you still have this Xiyang Stone?"
Lin Tao nodded, and then took out a piece of Xiyang Stone that was only half the size of a palm from the package behind him and handed it to Jiang Wubian, "That's it! I only bought these two pieces when I came, and it is estimated that it is enough for us to use in the past two days." ”
Jiang Wubian's eyes couldn't help but dim for a while, looking at the Xiyang Stone in his hand, which was only half the size of a palm, he smiled bitterly, "My ...... hurt" He didn't finish his words, but Lin Tao knew what he wanted to say.
He was worried about his injury. It is true that several broken tendons and veins in his chest like Jiang Wubian must be gently recuperated in the later stage, and this kind of weather in Hanshui Bay is extremely unsuitable for him. Although his injury was a little better after another day, after all, the injury was too serious before, and it was only a symptom but not a cure for just one or two days. If you don't take care of it now, you may be left behind for a lifetime. For this, Jiang Wubian is clear, and Lin Tao is also clear.
But the resources at hand of the two are limited, and in the face of boundless injuries, Lin Tao has no good solution.
The expression on Jiang Wubian's face was cloudy, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Lin Tao on the side spoke: "I have a way to help you." ”
When Jiang Wubian heard Lin Tao say this, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around and asked, "What method?" The surprise in his eyes was not concealed at all, and he was overjoyed.
"The exercises I practice have an unexpected effect on healing, protecting your chest from the cold wind, which in turn will not worsen your injuries. And where we are now is not too far from the city of Vala, only six or seven days away. If you rush back within the time limit, you should be able to ensure that your injuries will not be left behind. ”
After listening to Lin Tao's words, Jiang Wubian lowered his head and thought about it. Obviously, for now, the method Lin Tao said is indeed the best, especially the exercises that Jiang Wubian didn't expect Lin Tao to heal. You must know that among the six major Dou Qi, only the Dou Qi of the Light System has the ability to heal injuries, and the Elemental Affinity of the Light System itself is not numerous. And Lin Tao, who met in the boundless territory, is one of them, and it has to be said that it is his luck. Of course, all of this is taken for granted by Jiang Wubian, if he knows that Lin Tao used not the fighting qi of the light system to heal him, but the true qi, I don't know how he would feel.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wubian suddenly raised his head and said with an unusually firm expression: "No, I won't go back." Not only will I not go back, but I will go to the depths of the Netherworld. ”
Lin Tao raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise: "Why is this?" If it were an ordinary person, there was a chance that he would obey Lin Tao's arrangement and rush back to Walla City immediately. After all, if you leave the root of the disease, you will still suffer when you are old. However, he gave up his decision to return to Vala City, and instead continued along the Coldwater Bay towards the depths of the Netherworld. This made Lin Tao very puzzled, in Lin Tao's opinion, this was purely joking with his body.
"You'll regret it, the treasures left behind by the gods are nothing but things outside of your body. In this short day of getting along, Lin Tao has a lot of good feelings about Jiang Wubian, and at this time, seeing that Jiang Wubian made a decision that was extremely wrong in Lin Tao's opinion, he still couldn't help but persuade him.
Who knows, Jiang Wubian smiled indifferently. In an instant, a kind of momentum that looked at the world spontaneously appeared, which made Lin Tao stunned. "Brother Lin, you are wrong. It wasn't for the treasures of the gods that I continued to advance into the depths of the Netherworld, and I never thought about them, but this time the death of my companions, and the murderer who almost killed me with serious injuries went there. If I leave at this time, I don't know when I will find him next time, so this time I must go into the depths of the Netherworld to avenge my companion! Even if I die, even if I fall into an incurable disease in the future, it is enough to take his head to comfort the souls of my dead brethren in heaven. ”
