Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Heart Is Like Iron

Lying on the bed was not so much a human being as a dried corpse with skin and bones. Where can I still find a trace of the bear child who has been yelling for meat all day long.

"Little stone~" Li Qing called softly, and when he pointed it, a light appeared on his fingertips and fell on the center of the little stone's eyebrows.

"Little Stone~"

The little man on the bed moved his eyelids, his eyes slowly opened, his lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound.

Li Qing's spiritual power turned, turning into bubbling vitality and infiltrating into the body of the little stone, and the little stone's eyes brightened a little. But he could feel that Xiao Shi's body was like a leaky raft that wouldn't last long.

"It hurts~"

The voice in his ears made Li Qing almost burst into tears, "Don't be afraid, little stone, I'll take you home." ”

With a flick of his sleeve, a cloud of qi wrapped the small stone and carried it behind Li Qing.

"Don't be afraid, your sister is still waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain. Li Qing's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that the voice would be loud, so he poured out the breath in his heart.

turned around, and the monk outside the door had long since disappeared.

The small meditation room suddenly became infinitely vast, and all around it was dark.

Li Qing drew his sword out of its sheath, and the meditation room suddenly brightened, dazzling his eyes.

Looking at it again, it is actually in the middle of a vast world.

Li Qing felt an inexplicable sense of rejection, like an outsider entering someone else's house, and the communication with the spiritual power of heaven and earth was cut off.

This made Li Qing feel a sense of weakness, his cultivation time was still short, the spiritual power in his body was shallow, and on weekdays, through the connection with Dinghaizhu, the spiritual power between heaven and earth was endless, and he was at his disposal, but now he was suddenly separated by a membrane, and only his own hard work could listen to him.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. This knocked him back to his original form, and at the same time consumed his arrogance.

Li Qing closed his eyes and breathed for a moment, and gradually got used to it.

There is no time to practice, and nothing can be refined.

When I opened my eyes, there was a big mountain at the end of my vision, with undulating peaks and dense forests.

A waterfall hangs down from a cliff, and the gushing water falls to the ground, turning into a large rushing river.

Lingjue told Li Qing that the way out was on that mountain. It's just blocked by the river.

"Little brother, do you want to cross the river?" There was a small boat docked on the shore in the rushing river, and there was a man on the boat, dressed in a coat under a clear clear sky, with a hat, and a long bamboo pole leaning against the boat. At this time, he waved at Li Qing.

"Boatman, what's that mountain across the river?"

"Oh, you're going to worship the Buddha. The boatman smiled, "Come up, come up, since you are going to worship the Buddha, the little old man will not charge you for the fare." ”

Li Qing got on the boat, and the boatman held up the bamboo pole, and the boat left the shore and crossed the water with the boatman's skillful movements.

"You're an outsider, aren't you? The boatman stood at the bow of the boat holding a bamboo pole, and couldn't stop, "It's okay, the Buddha on the mountain has great powers, you go to worship, ask the Buddha to be kind, it will be fine." ”

Li Qing was silent.

The water in the river was originally crystal clear, but at this time, with the action of the boatman's ferry, blood continued to gush out.

"Why don't you speak?" The boatman suddenly stopped his movements and turned his head to look at Li Qing.

On closer inspection, the boatman was already very old, his face was deeply wrinkled by the years, his skin was like a crane's skin, and he was very loose, and his mouth showed his dry gums, and his tongue was not bloody, like a rotten dead leaf.

There was no wind, the river did not make the slightest sound, and there was an eerie silence between heaven and earth.

Li Qingmo held his sword, "Old man, how long have you been ferrying here?"

The boatman paused, turned around and propped up the bamboo pole again, "It's been a long time, it's been nearly a hundred years!"

"It's been a long time, and the landscape here is picturesque, ingenious, and it's also a good place. ”

"yes, I haven't seen anyone in nearly a hundred years. It's beautiful, but it's like a cage where you come in and can't get out. ”

"Heaven and earth are like cages, and that is a terrible thing. ”

"yes, it's scary. The boatman turned around again, his eyes glowing greedily, "Why don't you help me, give me your body, and save me from this cage!"

"You're dead. Li Qing looked at the ship's eyes, "Have you forgotten? You have been dead for almost a hundred years." ”

"I'm dead?"

"yes, it's just not dead. Li Qing's sword flashed, and the boatman's head flew up, but there was no blood in the neck cavity.

"I'm here to help you, so that you can die cleanly, so that you can enter reincarnation. Li Qing stood on the unmanned boat and looked at the mountain in the distance.

The great river has completely turned into a river of blood.

The sky suddenly darkened, and countless hands stretched out from the river of blood, wanting to lift the boat and take Li Qing's body.

Li Qingbao's sword slashed through, but it only passed through it, and those hands were unscathed.

There are no bones in this river of blood! Li Qing's wrist immediately sank, and a blue light appeared on the sword body, slaying the demon!

These hands were cut by a sharp weapon, and they turned into black smoke and dispersed.

At the same time, the hull of the ship was torn apart, Li Qing's body staggered, countless hands pulled Li Qing's feet, climbing his body, some wanted to pull him into the river of blood, and some palms suddenly opened their mouths, sharp fangs, biting Li Qing's body, sucking his blood.

Endless pain poured over, making Li Qing's eyes red, and his swordsmanship danced wildly, constantly slashing away the ghosts that were climbing on his body.

At the same time, there was the technique of walking on the water to support Li Qing to float on the water, and his footsteps kept moving, heading towards the river bank.

Stepping ashore, all the ghost hands retracted back into the river of blood, and Li Qing was drenched in blood, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

The night was dark, and there were no stars in the sky. There was a little fire on the road ahead.

Li Qing's hand pressed the sword tightly, no matter what demons and monsters you have, block my way, give me all the way to die!

After walking for a while, I got closer, and the firelight was a small house, and the cold wind blew and the firelight flickered, and the room seemed even deeper.

Li Qing walked over and pushed the door open.

An old woman was weaving a spinning wheel in the light, and when she heard the voice, she raised her head to look at Li Qing, her eyes shining strangely in the firelight, "Outsider, have you seen my old man?"

The sword flashed.

Li Qing held an oil lamp in his hand and plunged into the boundless darkness.

There was only the sound of the wind at night, and Li Qing protected the flames of the bean and walked forward silently.

Suddenly there was a small shadow under the light.

Li Qing stopped and turned his head.

A little girl of four or five years old followed behind Li Qing.

"Big brother, Tingting is afraid of the dark. ”

Li Qing's spirit was in a trance, and when she looked over, the little girl was carved in pink and jade, biting her fingers timidly.

Li Qing lifted the oil lamp and shone it on the little girl's face, "Where is your father?"

"Tingting has no father and no mother. The little girl had tears in her eyes, "Grandpa was ferrying by the river and was beheaded." Mother-in-law is gone, big brother, can you help Tingting?"

"Okay, I'll help you!" Li Qing took a step, the blue light on the sword flashed, and a beautiful woman's head with tears suddenly flew up, and the stunned expression didn't have time to hang on his face.

Li Qing looked at the vague and hazy mountain in the distance, and the shadows and shadows in the darkness, like the mouth of a monster, were about to choose people to eat.
