Volume 1: The Youth's Edge Chapter 21: The Realm of the Three Grades

"Why? Why ......"

"Only one of you will survive today. ”

"I'm going out, let me out!"

"Ahem-ahem-"

The humid air was filled with a strong smell of decay, and Mu Qing directly inhaled a large gulp as he screamed loudly.

His eyes widened, and he was horrified to find himself back in this terrifying place.

The canopy of tall trees obscures the sky, and in the gloomy environment, the thick green vines are terrifying, and their long teeth and claws climb up the trunk of the tall kapok tree.

The seasons change, life flourishes and withers, old leaves change to new shoots, and the withered yellow leaves have accumulated a thick layer under the tree.

And the most terrifying thing is that under these yellow, rotten leaves, there are many quagmire swamps of different sizes and depths.

Mu Qing had already sunk in, and there was no one beside him, only a small white hand was left grabbing his waist and clothes.

The decay mixed with fallen leaves was a terrifying existence than quicksand, and Mu Qing found that the more he struggled, the deeper he sank, but he couldn't think of any other way.

And the little white hand let go of his shirt because of the gradual weakness, and finally disappeared into the swamp completely, without a trace.

"No!"

The howl pierced through the dense forest and pierced the sky.

Mu Qing struggled with a frightened face to pull his companion up, but it was in vain.

"I'm going to die too......"

As time went by, Mu Qing's waist was completely sunken.

He gave up the struggle and looked up at the sky.

The sky seemed to be dyed red with the blood that flowed from the severed limbs on the way, and they roared through the gaps in the crown leaves overhead, and the lines that adhered to the leaves penetrated all the way, and as they passed through the branches, they also carried with them pieces of flesh and corpses, and the shadows of their companions in them.

Sink deeper and deeper, sink deeper and deeper......

Mu Qing tilted his head and opened his mouth wide, desperately breathing in the rotten moist air, the mud already pouring into his mouth.

At the last moment, he couldn't breathe, but his eyes went dark but he really woke up.

"Ahem-ahem-"

His vision gradually returned to his clear, Mu Qing's expression was sluggish, and he couldn't tell where this was for the time being.

"Mu Qing! Mu Qing!"

"Whew~, it's so dangerous, you're finally awake. ”

Xiaochan had already put the medicine bowl aside, she couldn't figure out how she could choke Mu Qing this time when she had been feeding the medicine before.

Looking at the beams above his head and the cyan tiles on the beams, the thoughts in Mu Qing's mind gradually worked.

The girl was now holding a handkerchief and gently wiping the medicine coughed up from the corner of her mouth for him, and the sweet snort entered her throat, Mu Qing asked a little uncomfortably: "Xiaochan, where is this?"

Xiaochan felt Mu Qing's discomfort, she sat upright on the edge of the bed, pulled up a strand of hair that escaped behind her ear and said, "In the Iron Bone Village." ”

She picked up the medicine bowl on the side, planning to continue feeding Mu Qing the medicine, and said, "This is already the third day. ”

"At that time, you and that bad old man had a fierce fight, and the cyan air mass that rolled up was so powerful that none of us could get close. ”

"And then?"

"When the air mass is gone, you and the man fall to the ground in your arms. ”

should recall the strange scene of that night, Xiaochan said with a smile: "Your posture is very strange, and, besides, the clothes on your body at that time were almost torn by the force......

"What about the old man, is he still alive?"

Mu Qing turned his head, he had just conceived the scene that Xiaochan said in his mind, and he only felt that his scalp was numb and his face was embarrassed.

Xiao Chan said with a relieved face when she heard this: "That old man is much worse than you, his muscles and veins all over his body have burst, and the whole person is a bloody person, but unfortunately he didn't die, and now he is still breathing." ”

Mu Qing recalled the scene that night when he was still conscious, and his heart was full of a strong desire to ask what trick the strange old man used in the end, since it was so evil.

"Come, open your mouth. ”

"Hmm~"

Mu Qing was fed a mouthful of medicinal soup, and his brain ached and remembered the swamp nightmare just now.

He hurriedly signaled to Xiaochan that she didn't need to be fed, shifted her position and asked, "How are they?"

Xiaochan has actually just recovered from a serious illness, and she has been dragging her sick body to take care of everyone in the past few days, and there is still a trace of sickly red on her cheeks.

After hearing Mu Qing's words, her eyes drooped, and her hand feeding the medicine froze in the air, but she fell into sadness uncontrollably.

She obviously understood who the "they" in Mu Qing's words were asking.

Although the younger brother escaped by not drinking the bowls of medicinal soup because of the coma of the arrow, but the injury was more serious after the smoke in his body and he has not woken up yet, the young lady woke up last night but could not get out of bed, the entire caravan died nearly forty people in that night, and the guards brought out by the family did not survive because they drank the medicinal soup and no one treated them.

Those are all her own brothers, she and her younger brother Li Si have grown up in the Liu family with these people since they were children, how can they have no feelings?

The room was silent for a while, Mu Qing looked at Xiao Chan, who was silent, and remembered the situation that night, and now it seems that it would be difficult for those guards to survive without the help of a famous doctor.

This is the current dynasty, human life is as cheap as grass and mud, relatives or sorrows, and others have also sang.

Life is really too fragile sometimes, Mu Qing didn't want to be immersed in such an atmosphere all the time, so he immediately asked, "Xiaochan, who is this medicine from?"

"Huh?"

Xiaochan finally got rid of the depressed mood that she had been low, she understood Mu Qing's worries, after all, everyone had planted a big heel on this recently.

"The lord of Lin Panzhai went to Stone Town to catch all the doctors who could be caught, and every time the medicine was cooked, those doctors tasted it first. ”

Xiaochan patiently explained.

After listening to Xiao Chan's answer, Mu Qing seriously guessed in his heart the attitude of Lin Pan and the others towards them now, and turned to Xiao Chan and asked, "Did Lin Pan ask something from that old man?"

Since the old man was hiding so deeply, even he almost died at the hands of the other party, and he had every reason to believe that the poison in Lin Pan was caused by the old man.

The old man simply took advantage of the fact that he had caused the poison in everyone. ”

But no matter how Lin Pan tortured, they didn't ask why he did it. ”

Xiaochan replied seriously.

Mu Qing actually had a guess in his heart, and he felt that this guess should not be far from the truth.

The old man had come for their caravan!

Because a long time ago, the poison in Xiaochan should have come from this person's hand, but he still hasn't figured out the true relationship between the dead Nine Masters Lin Xing and the old man for the time being, but he thinks that Lin Xing will not make these poisons.

Mu Qing frowned and kept thinking about these questions, but Mu Ran suddenly found that Xiaochan was sitting on the side and staring at him motionlessly.

After Xiaochan awkwardly avoided Mu Qing's probing gaze, she also learned Mu Qing's previous trick, and said with a diversion: "That old man has been clamoring to see you now, everyone is quite strange." ”

"Oh?"

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and said softly: "I didn't expect this old man to go with me, and I was also looking for him!"

After saying that, he was about to get up.

Xiaochan pressed Mu Qing's shoulder, shook her head and said, "Your injury is unknown, so let's lie down first." ”

In Xiaochan's eyes, Mu Qing's medical skills should be comparable to that of Miss's best friend, and since he has woken up, the prescriptions he prescribes for himself must be much better than those prescribed by the doctors who were captured from Stone Town.

After all, for the latter, there is no medicine to get rid of the disease, and the amount is very important, as long as they can't eat the dead, then their heads will still be on their necks.

Mu Qing lay on the bed, temporarily suppressed the strong desire in his heart to explore the old man, and tried to calm down the inexplicable strong uneasiness in his heart.

This intense emotional abruptness, which was about to face himself, was filled in his chest.

It wasn't until this time that Mu Qing realized that he was faintly avoiding something just now, and it turned out that he also had a side of avoiding medical treatment.

"What should I do if I lose all my internal strength......

Such thoughts kept floating in his mind, and Mu Qing's heart sank into his body, and he entered his meridians and acupoints little by little with the fear of losing.

The air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Haha!"

Mu Qing opened his eyes suddenly, and the corners of his mouth grinned uncontrollably.

Xiaochan had been paying attention to Mu Qing's expression, knowing that he had just finished looking inside, her heart was relieved, and she asked with a smile, "How is your situation now?"

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

This mood was indescribable, and naturally emanated from Mu Qing's aura.

Mu Qing tried hard to restrain the size of the corners of his cracked mouth, and said to Xiaochan with a smile: "The situation is very good, I will have no problem if I run it for a few weeks." ”

In fact, where there is any problem, his current situation can be said to be very good.

In the case that he didn't understand it himself, he had already advanced to the third grade in a daze.

For the cultivators of the Taishi Continent, whether you are practicing internal strength, external strength, or both internal and external cultivation, there has always been an unwritten rule that has been recognized by the majority of practitioners:

The martial arts who are below the third rank are rough cultivators, and only when they reach the third rank and above can they be regarded as real cultivators.

Only by entering the three products, can you do a short period of travel, at this time diligent cultivation is no longer the main means to enhance their own strength, only the small world of the human body and the natural world to achieve mutual sympathy, spiritual symbiosis, the pursuit of extraordinary, the understanding of their own way can go further.

The three products, the three products are searching, the second products are exploring, and the first product is seeking truth, which corresponds to the journey of asking for truth after human beings are born on the continent by virtue of their physical mortal wombs.

Mu Qing is now naturally lying flat on the bed, his legs are flat on the bed, his hands are naturally on his abdomen, his limbs are stretched, his eyes are only left with a line, his eyes are intuitive on his toes, and he inhales with the reverse breathing method to encourage the dantian, and uses the silent movement into the meditation method to start this Zhou Tian luck.

He could clearly feel that the internal force that was many times stronger than before rose from the center of the foot to the perineum, passed through the tail lube, the spine, the jade pillow, and then rose to the mud pill, and then from the mud pill through the Ming Hall to the Huang Ting and reached the lower dantian.

Mu Qing directly exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi that had accumulated in his body for many years, and now he felt that his body was refreshed, and his body was as light as a swallow.

He got out of bed and stood up directly under Xiaochan's stunned gaze, and said to Xiaochan with a smile: "Go, go and see them." ”
