Prologue The face on the belly

☆☆☆

A meteor slipped across the sky, as if tearing a scar open, and the night sky was as red as blood. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe red halo slowly expanded, like a silk scarf stained with gurgling blood, wiping the soul of the night.

Zhang Ruoshui stood alone in front of the grass window outside the bedroom, standing with his hands in his hands, staring at the sky with a heavy heart.

From Dengzhou, day and night, he traveled all the way back to Kaifeng, and immediately went straight to this thatched house in the eastern suburbs. At this moment, his mood was as cramped and panicked as when he first went to the battlefield. On this trip to Salmon Island, he followed his master, and even had an accident, and now his master's life is hanging by a thread, and he is helpless, how can he be embarrassed? How can he explain to Brother Yuan Zhen and Brother Mao Ze!

At this moment, the door of the house was opened, and an old man came out, judging by his demeanor, he was not the kind of old and weak old man. His face still had that calm, indifferent look. Zhang Ruoshui knew that his master's disguise technique was learned from him, and it was difficult to see any clues from his face.

The old man walked straight to the table, picked up the wine gourd, and took a sip of wine. When Zhang Ruoshui thought he was going to say something, the old man sat on the stool with his legs curled up, and drank slowly with a sip of wine, but he couldn't see any special taste in the wine.

Seeing that the old man's face did not change, his eyes were uncertain. Zhang Ruoshui was a little panicked, stood in front of the old man, and muttered: "She, what's going on?"

"Don't you know what happened to her, and if you could save her, you wouldn't have sent it to me!" the old man began. Glancing at Zhang Ruoshui, the old man gently rubbed the rough surface of the wine gourd with his thumb, he remembered the black and thin little boy back then, the smile on his face after winning the first battle, and now when he sees him again, he is already a man who stands up to the sky. His skin has been tanned by the scorching sun for a long time, and his expression is as resolute as iron when he has been fighting with soldiers all year round, a pair of thick eyebrows are wrinkled, and his eyes are like two wounds, revealing fear and sadness.

The old man sighed and said, "Didn't I teach you the secret of 'not being afraid of heaven and earth'? After so many years, why do you still have this expression on your face that you admit defeat without fighting?"

Zhang Ruoshui was suddenly surprised, in his heart, the secret of "the sky is not afraid of the earth" is a military song. He still remembers the day he was nineteen years old and went to war for the first time. In the first year of Kangding, Hexi used troops, and the border fortress city was surrounded by the Western Xia army, and it was about to be broken. Zhang Ruoshui, as a member of the surprise attack team that ventured through the enemy line, took advantage of the cover of night to smash the enemy's camp, and at this time, the Western Xia people relaxed their vigilance because of the victory in hand, and when they were drunk, they were killed by the sudden night attack. Although the surprise attack team did not have many manpower, it was enough to break through the Chinese camp and kill the enemy generals and flee. In this surprise attack, the Song army was like a god and won a complete victory; not only relieved the siege of the city, but also outflanked the rear of the enemy's fortress with the main force, and came to catch turtles in an urn, and the situation was reversed in a blink of an eye. He will never forget in his life, before going to the battlefield, someone taught him to sing a military song, at that time his mind was blank, only remembered that after the military song was sung, his whole body trembled slightly, he knew that it was not because of nervousness and fear, but the excitement that was excavated from his body, that was a kind of power, this song also made the whole army very excited, and it was the heroic adult who set up the "strategy to seize the city" and taught him to sing this song. Zhang Ruoshui didn't expect it, but the news of his sudden death came the next year.

The wide open eyes were obscured by the shadow of the thick eyebrows, Zhang Ruoshui's lips were closed, and his chin squirmed silently twice, and said, "Lord Shi, you are Lord Shi, how is it possible...... You're not dead?"

The old man frowned slightly, and thought: Why, didn't the little man know his previous identity early on? She didn't even mention it to these henchmen around her......? It's not that I sold myself, I handed over all the details. Okay, what a villain, you've been tricked again! He smiled slightly and said, "Nothing impossible!"

stared straight into the old man's eyes, and finally saw clearly, the eyes were still showing the familiar light. Zhang Ruoshui was excited in his heart, and said: "I remember that when I was by the side of Grandmaster Ren, he often said that the world has not known warfighters for more than 30 years, and Yuan Hao has opposed the Song Dynasty, and the war in Hedong can only be won with Lord Shi's tactics, Your Majesty said that you are a genius in the world." Just when Sect Master Ren was about to reuse, he was sad to learn that you died in Hedong, and the infant valve Liao plan had to be put on hold. Why is this a fake?"

"Even if it weren't that year, I would have left sooner or later," the old man held the gourd's hand tightly, and replied, "Our Xuanzhen Sect is originally a person from outside the world, and it doesn't make much difference if we take one step earlier or one step later!"

Although his tone was tactful, it sounded like an excuse in Zhang Ruoshui's ears, and he was especially unconvinced: "I didn't expect Master Shi to be the apprentice of the Taoist in Tsing Yi!

The old man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is it a reminiscence today?"

Zhang Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, sweat had already oozed out of his forehead and went down his neck and deep into his back. He can still distinguish the priorities, after all, Lord Shi's fake death can be recounted later, but now it is a life-threatening moment. He bowed down and said earnestly: "Uncle Shi, please save my master, even if you don't care about anything else, for the sake of the friendship between the master, please save her!"

The old man interrupted him, "You know her situation, right? I'll hear ......."

"When she was in a coma, her body was covered with jet black, and her whole body was hot, I thought it was poisonous hair, and I was busy suppressing it with the power of the ring cold, but any true qi injected into her body was like a mud cow entering the river and turning into nothingness, so it didn't look like poisoning. Zhang Ruoshui replied cautiously, "Earlier, she was injured in a martial arts competition, and when I treated her, I found that there was a true qi in her body, but it disappeared in an instant, and I didn't take it seriously." Now there are still two strands of true qi in her body, one cold and one hot, the cold qi is what she learned after the small cave heaven secret surgery, the hot true qi should have been in her body, the two true qi fight each other, irreconcilable, she is unconscious, she can't do qi pranayama by herself, at this time someone must input internal force for her...... Although the 'Phantom Mind Method' of our Cave Spirit School is the practice of virtual transformation, it is the illusory 'nothing', and only the Xuanzhen School's 'Wunian Divine Combination Method' is the real 'nothing'. So I guess that only the master uncle of the Xuanzhen sect can save the master, and her body is almost unbearable......"

The old man put down the wine gourd, and replied: "What you said is right and wrong! There are two, one is that her body is really about to be unbearable, and if she doesn't channel the true qi in her body after tonight, presumably the villain will not be able to see the sun tomorrow morning; second, only the people of the Xuanzhen sect can save her!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ruoshui had mixed feelings in his heart.

The old man stood up from the stool, "Where you guessed wrong, the two strands of cold and hot breath are not resisting each other! On the contrary, they are merging with each other, and the little man must have had an epiphany before he falls unconscious!" After speaking, he walked to the window, stroked his beard and looked at the blood-stained sky.

Zhang Ruoshui asked in surprise: "Epiphany? If it is an epiphany, how can it be unconscious!"

"She probably didn't expect that the true qi in her body was too strong, so she couldn't bear it for a while, and fainted!" The old man turned his head and said, "The Xuanzhen sect talks about 'Dunchao straight people' the most, and the villain is a person who is destined." You should know that to save her is to bless her, and to save her is to take her as a disciple!"

Although he didn't expect that the master was a "straight person" in Shi Da's mouth, he also expected that things might develop to the level where he needed to apprentice.

"It's a pity that I swore that I would never accept apprentices in this life, which I told my master when I entered the master's door. However, I have two junior brothers, one is far away in Shu, and the other is now in the capital, so you must have sent Dai Ying to the post house to find him, right?"

Zhang Ruoshui nodded, judging from some of the things Xiong Daiying had said, he hesitated: "I'm afraid that Mr. Zhizhi won't ......."

"Didn't you come to me just to let me intercede as a senior brother?" the old man raised his eyebrows and said, "I have a way to persuade him to accept apprentices." ”

Zhang Ruoshui was overjoyed in his heart and looked at him excitedly.

"People are coming!" Hearing the sound of brisk footsteps, the old man picked up the wine gourd, raised his head and poured a big sip, and said, "Lord Zhang just remember to owe me a great favor!"

Waiting for Yuwenzhi Shao and Xiong Daiying to rush to the thatched hut, there was no greeting, and the two brothers did not say a word, and entered the bedroom one after another. The candles in the hut were even bright, and the light and shadow danced annoyously on the walls, and they didn't stop all night. The firelight reflected a person's side face, and Yuwen Zhishao stood motionless on the side of the bed. He looked intently and saw that the woman was not wearing a mask as usual, and that her delicate face was already a terrifying color. Mixed with dark veins climbed up from her chin, like a strange and abrupt dead branch on the original jade pigment pure brocade, which looked particularly hideous against the background of her fair skin, which was even more pitiful than when she first rescued herself. Close to the bed, he could feel a wave of heat rushing towards his face, he gently stroked her wrist, and immediately frowned, the two internal breaths beat vigorously, suddenly disappeared, suddenly appeared out of thin air, he knew very well what this meant...... It's just that her body is tortured and unstable, it is difficult for her to break through the realm by herself, and what is worse is that the condition continues to deteriorate, those black spots have begun to stiffen the skin, and it feels like a hot rock to the touch, she doesn't know what kind of nightmare she is having in a coma, her expression is extremely painful, and she keeps babbling.

At this time, a black bruise climbed up from her chin again, slashing across half of her cheek, and she immediately frowned in pain, and Yuwen Zhishao could even feel the pain. He wanted to reach out and touch her face, but he was afraid that it would hurt her even more, so his hand hung in the air and stopped.

"It doesn't matter," said the old man, "that the unrecognizable look is terrible, but it's not a big deal." ”

Yuwen Zhishao shook his head slowly. It's not a big deal? She can't make it tonight.

Silent. The junior brother turned his back to him, and although he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, the old man had already guessed what he would do. To be honest, I don't need to persuade at all, and Zhang Ruoshui's rhetoric is just to deceive a favor, in fact, as long as the junior brother sees the villain's current situation, it is enough.

Yuwen Zhishao sighed and whispered, "I'll save her!"

"Oh?" said the old man with a worried tone, "The true qi in her body is incredible, and if you bless her like this, maybe she will have amazing attainments in martial arts in the future." It's a pity that she has a special identity, and if she uses the skills she has learned to do something, it's impossible to say what the consequences will be...... Although the master and his old man said that teaching art should find someone who is destined, but it is also good to be an upright apprentice......"

"Senior brother is teasing me again, in fact, you already know that from the first time I saved her, fate was doomed, and I can't hide from it......" Yuwen Zhishao muttered in the candlelight, "I used to have a rule of thumb and never stand idly by to my fellow disciples, but before I minded that she was a woman, and I minded her identity even more, think about how hypocritical I am." Obviously she is an outsider, why do you have to take care of this? At this moment, I don't care about the deep and shallow, I just know that I don't want to watch her die in vain!"

"It's good that my junior brother has figured it out!" the old man was relieved, "I said it all, it's not a big deal, she's just sleeping." Senior brother, rest assured to help, senior brother, I will support you!"

Yuwen Zhishao nodded, he reached out to help the woman up, sat cross-legged on the bed, felt that she was so petite and weak, and understood that it would be very dangerous to drag it out any longer, he said, "Then let's start!"

☆☆☆

In the endless darkness, Chris felt like a pharaoh waking up from a tomb, barely breathing after layers of mummy shrouds had been unraveled.

Here, nothing.

No sound, no speed, no gravity. She floated, feeling like she was wrapped in a jelly-like substance...... She began to try to remember: Wasn't she talking to Ruoshui and them? She suddenly lost her breath and was hot and dry, and then she passed out. No, before she passed out, she saw black kryptonite, and the otherworldly luster appeared in front of her eyes incomparably vividly.

The scene of finding kryptonite for the first time kept coming to mind.

When she came back to her senses, she found that her weight had returned to her feet. Gravity is rapidly increasing, and Chris finds himself rapidly descending. Because of the ultimate speed of the straight down, she realized that she was in a white eggshell just now. The eggshells began to burn and peel off, layer after layer, and as the eggshells burned out, the egg white-like liquid leaked out, forming a large film, and the speed slowed down, but the vibration and jolting became stronger, and she was like a pilot piloting an airplane through a storm swarm, and her body was about to be shaken apart.

A stronger wave of impact, after a roar, a white light in front of him shook his eyes. Although she didn't know how, she knew she landed.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in her face, and she opened her eyes, and although the vision around her was dim, she knew inexplicably that it was a cold night with a howling wind. What is this place? She asked herself, is it another illusion?

She pinched her arm hard, it hurt! The pain was too real for her to realize that what was in front of her was not her hallucination!

Chris tried to move her limbs, and her muscles were cramping, but since she could, she didn't want to stand still. She blinked vigorously, hoping to discern the outline around her, but she couldn't see anything. She could only feel the endless cold, she moved two steps, her feet slipped, and it turned out to be a frozen place.

However, her ears seemed to become sharper in the darkness, and she heard the sound of gurgling water.

She followed the direction of the flowing water, and explored forward.

It's an open area, constantly moving, but still can't resist the cold, and half of my body is paralyzed. Still, the rush made Chris too much to worry about, she was both nervous and excited, and before she knew it, she walked a long way, and the sound of the water gradually became clearer.

With one foot in the icy water, Chris bent down and reached into the water with his hand to fish. There was a sudden light above her head, she could see the water waves in her hand clearly, and she could see the surroundings clearly, it was really a cold and secluded ice and snow, facing the biting wind, she raised her head suddenly, and saw the round moon as always, but then she gasped, she even forgot to breathe, and froze in place and couldn't move.

Because there was a huge sphere floating in the sky, blue, much bigger than the moon.

It must have been an illusion, Chris closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds. It was absolutely impossible, but no matter how many times Chris opened and closed his eyes, the planet still floated in the air, becoming clearer and clearer.

If the blue sphere in front of me is the Earth, what are I stepping on, and what kind of world have I traveled to?

"The one under your feet is the earth, and the one in the sky is called the primordial sphere. ”

A man's voice rang out in the dark, and Chris was startled.

She couldn't help but look around, and there was no sign of anyone at all.

Am I confused? No, no way, I'm fine, I'm fine, everything is fine. But the voice was familiar, and where had he heard it, Chris desperately wondered where this familiarity came from. She searched her memory diligently, and finally she remembered something.

"Ronquesu?!" she shouted.

"It's not easy for you to remember. ”

The man's voice sounded again, and Chris asked sharply, "Don't pretend to be a ghost, come out for me." ”

The man didn't speak, just laughed.

Chris's face contorted, and laughter came from her body, her abdomen to be exact. She lowered her head, ripped open her clothes, and was horrified to see that there was a familiar face on her abdomen - it was Ronquesu?? The father of Sinogtak, Tikasu and Aya.

Seeing Chris stunned there, his huge face said toughly: "Don't look at me, this is a rare scene in the primeval world, the original ball is about to hit the earth, and then the earth-moon system will be formed." ”

As if he was controlled, Chris looked up at the sky, only to see that the blue planet was getting bigger and closer, so close that it was inevitable, and the collision of the planets was inevitable!

Oh, my God!

There was another white light in front of him, and Chris screamed, his sharp voice probably penetrating the night sky, so Chris's subconscious woke up without too much resistance.

The cold of the morning blew away the nightmare, the bedroom window was open, and the air was filled with the smell of leaves and damp earth. Chris sat up from the bed, where she woke up after being rescued from the last assassination.

Trying not to pay attention to everything in front of him, Chris was still trying his best to remember the dream just now, trying to grasp the details of the dream.

She lifted the thin sheet on her body, ripped off her undershirt, and begged with all her heart to see her flat belly, but this time, reality transcended the dream, and there was a familiar face on her belly - the face of Ronquesu!

Ronkssu deliberately raised his eyebrows, and there were a few more wrinkles on his stomach, and he said with some dissatisfaction, "You're finally awake!" (To be continued.) )
