Chapter 116: The Hidden Danger Is Deep
After Li Xuan put away the pots and pans, the two of them did not rest and continued to travel in the starry night.
There is a saying called "Traveling in the Twilight of the Sea", which is not an exaggeration, but it is not something that ordinary martial arts can hope for, if you want to do this, you must be an immortal in the immortal realm, and under the great master of the heavenly and human realm, the grandmaster of the True Realm can not walk against the wind, and can only rely on his feet to hurry. In this way, at most, it is not much different from the gallop of a horse.
The legend of the so-called thousand-mile horse traveling thousands of miles every day is exaggerated, and it is almost impossible for a single horse, even if it is a dead horse, it is difficult to do.
As for the 800 li expedited that the people often say, it is also wrong, the imperial court only has 600 li expedited, whether it is the military situation of the military department, or the urgent delivery of the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, it is at most 600 li expedited, not that the imperial court does not want to set up 800 li expedited, but it can't. Six hundred miles is already the limit of manpower and horsepower.
Regardless of the Fang Shi, the footsteps of the Returning True Realm Grandmaster, on the premise that he is not overdrawn and fleeing for his life, is at most six hundred miles a day, and his physical strength and qi also have limits, just like an ordinary person, walking dozens of miles on foot may not feel too tired, but if he runs for several miles, he will be out of breath. Therefore, after traveling 600 miles a day, the Grandmaster of the True Realm should also take a short break to recover his qi and physical strength.
Of course, if you are desperate, do not hesitate to wear and tear your body's qi and blood, or even fight to leave internal injuries and overdraw your qi, let alone travel 600 miles a day, it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day, but this hidden danger is very deep, unless it is to escape, no one will be in such a hurry.
Li Xuandu and Bai Juan traveled more than 600 miles in one go, at this time it was not far from Xiyang County, and there was about half a day's journey to arrive, and there happened to be a Taiping Inn on the side of the road, and the two came to the inn for a while.
Speaking of the Taiping Inn, Li Xuandu is already not surprised, since the Taiping Sect closed the mountain, although he has not asked much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes on the surface, but there are a lot of actions in secret, and the large-scale opening of the Taiping Inn is one of them. Many times, the Taiping Sect simply spent money to buy the inn, changed a signboard, and it became the Taiping Inn under the name of the Taiping Sect, for the people of the rivers and lakes, the name of the Taiping Sect is the greatest guarantee, so they also moved in, so that the business is booming is still second, the Taiping Sect through these inns distributed in various places to inquire about the news, it becomes extremely convenient, and the Taiping Inn is many, it is easy to confuse the sight, Mrs. Lu and Shen Yuanzhai's two appearances in the rivers and lakes, are through the guise of the Taiping Inn.
Entering the inn, the shopkeeper was an old man, no hostess, only two young men.
Bai Juan made an exception to eat snake meat last night, and today he refused to eat it again, and Li Xuandu was a last resort, and he would never do anything to open the valley, so in the end, Li Xuan asked for a leg of mutton and a pot of turbid wine, and Bai Juan sat aside and watched him eat.
Li Xuandu ate quickly, but it didn't give people a sense of rudeness, Bai Juan couldn't help but ask, "Who did you learn from this eating skill?"
Li Xuandu stopped his movements slightly, took out a hand towel from the "eighteenth floor" to wipe the greasy on his hands, and said: "I learned from the second senior brother, the second senior brother is a glutton who knows this well, he loves to eat and make friends, he once had the feat of traveling all over the world just to eat, he has two good dishes, one is snake meat, the other is autumn crab, he eats crabs very particularly, using eight pieces of crab can eat all the crab meat without hurting the crab shell, and the remaining crab shell can be pieced together into a complete crab." ”
Bai Juan asked again, "What kind of person is Mr. Haishi?"
Li Xuandu thought for a while and replied, "For me, he is a good person and a relative. However, for others, he is a weirdo, the former Qingweizong was called a weirdo in the East China Sea by the people in the rivers and lakes, and now there are many people who call the second senior brother so, calling him to his face 'The sea is dry and rotten' Mr. Zhang, and behind his back he scolded him as a weirdo in the East China Sea. ”
"Then what are you?" Bai Juan joked, "Donghaiden disciple?"
Li Xuandu smiled and said: "If you put aside the 'Purple Mansion Sword Immortal', I don't have a nickname, and few people even know that Mr. Four's name is Li Xuandu, only that there is a Mr. Four in Qingwei Sect." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xuandu suddenly remembered something and asked, "The fifth child of our family is welcoming you, why didn't you meet him?"
Bai Juan shook his head and said, "I accidentally learned that the Qingyang Sect was going to assassinate my uncle, and the situation was urgent, so I didn't care about waiting for her, so I could only leave a message for her at the place we agreed." ”
Li Xuandu silently estimated in his heart, and said: "This is Qizhou, she can not only call the eyes and ears of Qingluanwei, but also use the people of Qingwei Sect, and she should be able to chase after her soon." ”
Bai Juan said: "In this way, you are the most miserable in the Qingwei Sect, alone, and there is no one to help." ”
Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "The people who followed me in the past have either changed their courts or been assigned to other places, and they have all been affected by me, and now, how can I expect someone to stand on my side." ”
Bai Juan asked, "Then you go back to the Qingwei Sect?"
Li Xuandu said: "Go directly to see the old man." ”
Bai Juan let out an "oh" and stopped talking.
Li Xuandu glanced at the leg of mutton that was still half left, and had no intention of continuing to eat, but slowly drank the pot of turbid wine, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt dizzy, he suddenly reached out to hold the edge of the table, barely supported his figure, and blinked vigorously, but found that the white silk sitting opposite him had become blurred, and even had a double vision.
Li Xuandu subconsciously thought that there was something wrong with this wine and mutton, but since he practiced "leaking all the way", he could almost be regarded as invulnerable, unless it was "Soul Returning Incense", but who would use "Soul Returning Incense" to plot against him? Not to mention the degree of cherishing of Soul Returning Incense, even if there is Soul Returning Incense, it will only make people temporarily lose their cultivation, and there will be no symptoms of dizziness.
At this moment, Li Xuandu vaguely saw the green tendons on the back of his hand rising out of the corner of his eye, and there was black qi winding through it.
He looked up again, and vaguely saw that Bai Juan had already gotten up to support him, as if he was saying something, but he could only hear the sound of his own violent heartbeat in his ears at this time.
A thought flashed in Li Xuandu's heart: "Taiyin Thirteen Swords."
The next moment, Li Xuandu felt a cold in his chest and a cold in his back, and he only felt that the world was spinning, and he was completely unaware.
Li Xuandu's coma this time was different from the last time the "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" attacked, this time there was no warning, and Li Xuandu did not enter the sea of consciousness like a dream, but completely fainted.
I don't know how long it took, Li Xuandu was slightly conscious, but he couldn't move his hands and feet, he couldn't open his eyes, he only felt that his body was floating in the clouds, and it seemed to be floating in the water, and at the same time, he couldn't say how uncomfortable it was, his internal organs seemed to be gnawed by countless insects, and the eight veins of the strange meridians seemed to have small snakes swimming in it, he wanted to open his mouth to shout, but he couldn't make a sound, this kind of torment and torture was the first time he had encountered it since he became a cultivator.
Li Xuandu has always remained in this state of seeming to be asleep but not sleeping, and waking up but not waking up. I don't know how long it took, in a trance, he only felt that he was in an ocean, in the ocean there was a whirlpool sea eye, and in the sea eye there was a giant tree, I don't know how many tens of thousands of feet high, straight to the sky, there were no branches and leaves on the tree, only thunder surrounding.
Li Xuan knew that he had entered the sea of knowledge, his mind moved, and his eyes were raised, only to see ten black snakes wrapped around the trunk of the giant tree, and the erected snake pupils looked at Li Xuandu coldly, either opening his mouth and showing his fangs, or spitting out snake letters.
Li Xuandu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he thought that after he recovered his cultivation to the True Realm, he would be able to control the "Taiyin Thirteen Swords", so on the basis of the original eight swords, he practiced the "Qingmo Three Thousand Armor" and "Blue Sea Tide and Moonlight", but he never thought that the backlash of the "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" was so violent, and it was so secretive, without warning, that it was impossible to guard against it.
Suddenly, Li Xuan felt a splitting headache, but it also gave him some strength, and he opened his eyelids with difficulty, but saw that he was lying on a bed, and out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw Bai Juan sitting on the stool next to the bed, with her back to herself.
Li Xuandu opened his mouth and let out a faint sound.
Bai Juan turned around suddenly, surprised and delighted, "You finally woke up?"
Li Xuandu felt that he had gradually gained control of his body again, but this also made him very worried, to his level, he was already like an arm command for his body, and he was not far from the unity of spirit and flesh, even in his sleep, his body moved at will, so there was a story of a martial arts master who sensed the killing intent and killed the assassin in his sleep, when did Li Xuandu have symptoms of separation between consciousness and body? Could it be that this is a sign that the "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" have seized the body of the sword?
Thinking of this, Li Xuan coughed involuntarily and spit out a mouthful of turbid air, like a person who holds his breath has finally breathed, and it seems that he has removed a big stone pressed on his chest.
This time, Li Xuandu was finally able to speak: "We...... Where is this?"
Bai Juan was relieved to see that he was sane and said, "We are in the guest room of the inn, which is the Taiping Inn where we stayed. ”
Li Xuandu asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
Bai Juan's face showed a sad look: "Three days and three nights." ”
Li Xuandu exhaled a long breath, his whole body ached, it was good to feel the pain, it was a good sign, it was a blessing in misfortune, but this "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" could no longer be practiced, even if he was Li Xuandu, the tenth person on the former Taixuan List, he would never dare to take any more risks.
Li Xuandu wanted to get up, but his hands and feet were sore, and he wanted to run the qi machine, but his chest was cold again, which made him almost lose his breath.
Bai Juan hurriedly held him down and said, "You have suffered from the backlash of the 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords', so you must not rashly use the qi machine." ”
Li Xuandu smiled helplessly.
Bai Juan Zhengse said: "Li Xuandu, tell me honestly, how many 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords' have you practiced?"
Li Xuandu saw Bai Juan's serious face, and he was a little weak-hearted, and said in a low voice: "Ten swords." ”
Bai Juan's face became more and more cold, and he rebuked with anger: "You really don't want to die, the 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords' is mysterious and easy to use, but it is a harmful thing, it is simply the bait of the Yin Yang Sect fishing in the rivers and lakes, specifically fishing for pretentious people like you." ”
Li Xuandu knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to say anything back.
Bai Juan took out a small bottle from his Sumeru treasure with a straight face, handed it to Li Xuandu, and said, "Eat the pill, and after the pill takes effect, you can use the qi machine, and use the qi machine to slowly refine the remaining medicinal power, which can temporarily suppress your injuries." ”
