Chapter 24: Crossing the Water
Tingyao, who was carrying Jingchen on her back, stumbled to the vicinity of the cave, waited for a while, looked at the shorter and slightly dense jungle around her, and noticed that there was no unusual movement, so she carefully moved Jingchen to the entrance of the cave and laid it flat, and she threw away the saber hanging on her arm and sat on the ground, her shoulders collapsed and she exhaled.
"There's always a cave to rest in...... But it's not a way to go on like this......"
Listening to Yao looked back at Jing Chen, who was still closing his eyes, his dirty little face was full of mist and worry that could not be dispersed, although Jing Chen's deep wound was simply healed, but the serious injury inside him had consumed him too much, so that Jing Chen did not have enough aura to stabilize his Danyuan realm now, and could only sleep like a corpse.
"No, I'll have to go around and see if there's any water, or ...... Jingchen will die here. ”
Scratching herself a little messy, she pursed her lips and was about to stride away, but she paused and glanced back at the lifeless Jingchen again, raised her feet and turned around to sit beside Jingchen softly, and after simply loosening the neckline and belt for him, she chanted a spell and circled a simple barrier for Jingchen.
Hearing Yao staggered to her feet, she recovered from the dizziness of exhaustion, hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead before she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the saber and brushed off the fine hair on her shoulders, and strode out to find a water source, even if her palms and soles were worn and bleeding, she didn't care, she only thought about saving Jingchen.
The sky was starting to darken, and the slightest movement was particularly strange in the jungle, and Ting Yao clutched his saber tightly to avoid the branches along the way, and had to make a mark to prevent getting lost.
She never thought that she would be so embarrassed to participate in the trial, let alone that her lack of learning would drag others down, become a burden, and almost kill people by mistake, and she was a little ashamed to think about it.
Perhaps too preoccupied with reflecting on all his performance after entering the jungle, he turned around as soon as he had made a mark on the branches, and with a stumble under his feet, he rolled down a slope full of gravel and thorns with his sword.
I didn't notice it for a while, except for the head protected by my hands, there was no good meat on my body, and a trace of blood oozed from the back of my neck because of the abrasions.
"Shhh...... It hurts, it won't be so unlucky......"
Listening to Yao baring her teeth and propping herself up, the fine tingling sensation instantly made her scalp numb, which finally made her recover a little vitality, and now she has a new injury, plus Jingchen is now unconscious and the situation is unknown, it is really a bit of a disaster.
"God, you have to do well, no matter how bad you make me unlucky, let me cure Jingchen well, let's talk about it, this ...... Hmmm? That's ...... Water?!"
Staggered to his feet, gritting his teeth and pulling out the thorns on the wound while praying for no more trouble so that she could not get out of the predicament, but at this time, Tingyao felt a wet chill under her feet, and was stunned and began to touch her body up and down, and after confirming that it was not blood, she moved her feet slightly, and heard a little gurgling water.
Although the sky was dark, Tingyao felt the coolness and sound of the water, and found himself on the bank of a lake by sporadic light, and couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, so he bent down and went into the water and took a few sips of this nectar in his hand, and the anxiety in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he couldn't help but iron it.
Now that the water source has been discovered, the tricky thing now is how to bring enough water back, Ting Yao frowned again and fell into thought, the jungle is lush with branches and leaves, and it is not a problem to roll a larger leaf into a cylinder to fill water, but it is easy to spill if there is not enough water at a time, and when it is fed to Jingchen in the cave, I am afraid that there will be no more drops.
"Well, how do you put it back...... There you go!"
Listening Yao pinched the saber in his hand, his eyes rolled, and he immediately pulled the long sword behind him, and the other hand also took the scabbard and touched it and then put it into the lake, and filled it with water, and soon the sound of the water disappeared, Ting Yao picked up the scabbard and shook it close to his ear, and felt that it was almost there, so he grabbed the long sword and the scabbard and stepped on the shore little by little with his arm.
"Others cultivate immortals and cultivate a happy life, why do I have to support myself to save my life when I cultivate immortals? This is not much different from mortal life...... It's still a trial, I'm afraid I'll turn to ashes before I try a way!"
I don't know if it's because I'm afraid that I need to be brave, or because I'm too lonely without Jingchen by my side, listening to Yao's self-talk and broken thoughts has become frequent, and the grievances and complaints in my heart are like a flood, and I vomited it out in one go, thanks to my own master who doesn't know, otherwise, I guess I have to pull her ears and reprimand her.
Ting Yao was holding the scabbard and crawling to the mark to return to the cave, when suddenly a white shadow burst out, so frightened that Ting Yao almost threw out the scabbard containing water, although he was afraid, but this water was taken to Jing Chen, if he sprinkled Ting Yao, he was afraid that he would go crazy and grab his head to the ground, and soon a little anger appeared on his face.
"It doesn't matter who you are, if you spill my water, I'll fight with you!"
After muttering and saying the threat, for fear that something would catch her, she didn't delay any longer, so she hurriedly shrunk her neck and held the scabbard and hid in the more lush bushes on the side, poked her head out little by little with the leaves with her hand, looked left and right, and found that there was no movement and stood up with her heart relaxed, and when she turned her head, she almost scared Ting Yao so much that she rolled her eyes and turned her back to breath.
"Ahh
"Chirp!"
I saw two big dripping eyes and Ting Yao's eyes, and the long ears trembled for a while before they quickly rolled up and turned into a ball, the fluffy white ball didn't expect Ting Yao to suddenly turn around and look at it, and when Ting Yao screamed in fright, it was also frightened and chirped, and the fluff of the body instantly turned into short thorns and exploded.
Hearing Yao holding the sword scabbard steadily, holding the long sword, hurriedly retreated to the side, looking at the small hairy ball with the golden seal between his forehead flashing and exploding into a pile of thorns, raising his eyebrows slightly, with doubts and vigilance, after all, when he first came to the jungle, he encountered a demonic beast, and what kind of pit was waiting for her, thinking of this, the steps of escape began to move.
Xiao Bai Tuanzi's two big eyes stared at Ting Yao for a long time, and finally couldn't help the feeling of soreness, stretched out his long ears and rubbed his eyes, but the abrupt blood on the long ears made Ting Yao a little stunned, and couldn't help but wander and wonder if the beasts would also kill each other.
After Xiao Bai Tuanzi rubbed his eyes, he found that Ting Yao still didn't move, just moved towards the path on the shore little by little, so he put away the short thorn and tilted his little head to stare at Ting Yao curiously, and then glanced at the lake again, and began to move towards the lake one by one.
The red-and-white man and the white-haired dumplings were like spinning Taijitu, staring at each other and panning to their destinations, for fear that if they were not careful, they would lose their lives by the other party's surprise attack, although the scene was really indescribably funny.
After Ting Yao and the white-haired dumplings moved to the place where they wanted to stand, they soon began to run wildly with their own feet, and Ting Yao closed her eyes tightly and ran with her head in disregard, afraid that this strange thing would suddenly catch her.
The white-haired dumplings plunged into the lake and gulped up, and they didn't forget to take a few more glances at the figure holding the long sword and just running, and after a while, the wounds on the long ears disappeared.
When he arrived at the cave, Ting Yao kept his sword scabbard in a tight posture and gasped for breath, not realizing that his previous wounds torn out by gravel and thorns had long since healed as before, he swallowed his saliva violently, and hurriedly rushed to Jing Chen's side to check it, and only after making sure that Jing Chen was fine under the protection of the enchantment, did he really settle down.
So he threw the long sword aside, carefully held up Jing Chen's head with one hand, put the scabbard to his lips, and slowly crossed the water for him, but unexpectedly, the poured water did not enter Jing Chen's mouth but slid out along the corner of his mouth, tried several times, and the water was never drunk by Jing Chen.
Hearing Yao held the scabbard and shook it gently, there was not much water left, and a lot of it was wasted after so many times, and there was not much water left in the scabbard, Ting Yao frowned slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and after taking a deep look at Jing Chen, a little red glow flew on his cheeks.
"Jingchen, don't blame me, I can't help it...... Alas, no matter what, you don't know ...... anyway"
Ting Yao looked at his sword scabbard with some struggle, then took a deep breath, drank a mouthful of water in the scabbard and picked up Jing Chen's face, letting his lips close to Jing Chen's lips, and sending the water in his mouth into Jing Chen's mouth little by little, although there was still a drop from the corner of their mouths.
Seeing that Jingchen swallowed the water, Tingyao slowly got up and flashed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips or sent the last bit of water to his mouth, looked at Jingchen's pale face, hesitated for a moment and then pasted it again.
This time Ting Yao's eyes did not dodge, but carefully observed the face pressed by his own lips, if it wasn't for the long eyelashes that left a butterfly shadow with his eyes closed, it must have been the heroic appearance of the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, Ting Yao looked into a daze, completely unaware that Jingchen had already drunk the water she had crossed, and only realized that something was wrong when she opened her red lips slightly in surprise, so she hurriedly got up and squatted aside and covered her red face with embarrassment.
Hearing Yao, he only felt that he was a little short of breath and his chest was hot, thinking that his injuries had not been fully healed, so he hurriedly sat cross-legged with his back to Jingchen, and began to use his spiritual power to investigate the cultivation situation.
After Jing Chen behind him swallowed water, some of his injuries were slowly improving, his face gradually recovered, and the fingers on his side moved quietly and soon stopped moving.
Listening Yao who was resting cross-legged frowned tightly, the beads of sweat on her forehead were rising out little by little, she never thought that her Dan Yuan was pulled by two forces, although she broke through the sixth layer of the realm where she could practice the Complex Sword Technique because of the blessing of misfortune, but as long as she used the spiritual power to use the Immortal Technique, the Dan Yuan was like a mist and could not gather the spiritual energy at all, and it was very empty.
Listening to Yao trying his best to force it, a heart-wrenching pain instantly drowned Ting Yao's consciousness, and soon spit out a mouthful of black and sticky blood, tilted his body to the side, and his hands trembled unconsciously.
"How...... ...... way"
Listening Yao stared at the pool of blood, and couldn't believe that she was stuck in this realm by two forces like this, which means that from now on, even if she practiced the sword technique and used the sword technique proficiently, she could not use the immortal technique, she would have no way to continue cultivating, and she could only live like an ordinary person who knew martial arts.
After thinking about it, another burst of pain struck, and Ting Yao vomited a pool of blood again and fainted, only the rainbow beads on his neck flashed with a dull red light, but there was a trace of imperceptible black line inside.
