Chapter 24: The Breath of Fire
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Breath of Fire and Gold
Qiu Xin has been going smoothly all the way since he came down the mountain, even if what the Taoist priest of Luocheng and the tantric abbot said made him slightly worried, and he also met Jingmo who followed him all the way, but he felt that these people did not have any ill will towards him, but now they have caught this unknown cave, I am afraid that what the Taoist priest said.
And the person on the other side has a restrained breath, a calm demeanor, and does not show his true face, his identity is unknown, his life is now in his hands, he is afraid that if he answers wrong, he will be doomed, and after thinking for a long time, Qiu Xin has indeed not seen any fire spirit weapons, and he does not know what this person in the silver mask is asking.
In this way, Qiu Xin never answered, and looked at the silver-faced man from time to time, but those deep eyes did not fluctuate, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he kept staring at himself, not impatient.
So Qiu Xin said tentatively, "I really don't know what fire spirit weapon is below. ”
The man was still indifferent and emotionless, and said, "Your Excellency thinks that I am really a three-year-old child who is so easy to fool? ”
Qiu Xin was shocked when he heard this, and was silent for a moment, his heart was horizontal, and then he said, "I have lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for more than ten years before entering the world. ”
"Then let me ask you, since you don't know what a fire book is, then why do you carry the unique fire and gold breath of the fire book, this matter cannot be faked, how can you explain this?" As if hearing a big joke, the silver-faced man's tone changed, and he said so jokingly.
"There's no way to know this, I think Your Excellency may have caught the wrong person, since the fire is such a treasure, how could it fall into my hands, and you caught it so easily. Qiu Xin's face was puzzled at this time, and he was-for-tat with the man between his words.
"Don't talk nonsense, the fire toad is very sensitive to the breath of fire and gold, and it has drilled into your mouth before, eaten your dantian, and swallowed your flesh and blood. As calm as ever, Qiu Xin couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Qiu Xin could only reply, "I really don't know ...... below" Before he could continue to finish, the man flicked his sleeve robe and shouted, "Someone, drag him out and torture him." ”
Immediately afterwards, two black-clothed people walked out of the stone room, it was the same person who was dressed as the black-clothed man who caught him that night, Qiu Xin's eyes turned quickly, he had just woken up from a serious injury, and now if he was pulled to torture, I am afraid that he would not be able to last for a long time, so he endured the severe pain all over his body, and wanted to struggle to stand up, every movement was accompanied by the sound of cracking skin, blood flowed down his body, and instantly became a bloody person.
The two black-clothed men who wanted to take him away also slowed down when they saw this, and the murderers who usually killed people without blinking an eye were also shocked by the sight at this time, and threw inquiring glances at the man who turned his back.
After waiting for a long time without moving, the silver-faced man was about to get angry, but when he turned around, he found Qiu Xin standing in front of him covered in blood, his dark eyes finally showed a slightly strange look, waved his hand to let the two men in black out, and continued, "Your Excellency really doesn't want to say the origin of the fire and gold breath in your body?"
Qiu Xin was about to faint at this time, he woke up from a serious injury, he acted like this, his whole body hurt hotly, the symptoms of consciousness out of the body that day were about to appear again, and the abdominal wound was split again, and now if he can't give him a satisfactory answer, he will really die here.
Thinking like this, Qiu Xin gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what the breath of fire and gold is, but I have been heavily poisoned by fire poison since I was a child, and I only relieved the pain of fire poison not long ago, this may be the breath of fire and gold in your mouth, but what fire spirit weapon is really not known in Xia, and I haven't seen it, and now it has been destroyed in Xia Dantian, you must also be a person who practices martial arts, you know what it means, if it is not for the unfinished wish below, you will not stand here and listen to your speech, if there is a little lie in what you say, let your Excellency ...... a thousand knives." Before he could hear this, Qiu Xin fainted and fell to the ground with a bang.
The silver-faced man turned a blind eye to this, as if he was thinking about the truth of what Qiu Xin said, and after a while, he looked at the dark shadow behind him and asked, "What this son said, do you think it is true or false?" ”
The man who only listened said, "It is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, I have never heard of anyone alive with the breath of fire and gold, and this son has a tough heart, not like a person who will give in, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to obtain the whereabouts of the fire from his mouth." ”
"Even your heart looking technique is difficult to distinguish between true and false, so don't let him die easily, otherwise the years of work may be ruined again. As if convinced by what the man said, the silver-masked man ordered his men to take Qiu Xin away and take care of him until he woke up.
After doing all this, the man in the shadows said again, "That matter must be hurried, I always feel that something will happen recently, this time your group of subordinates rashly broke into the tantric realm, I am afraid that it has already been discovered by the old monk, and if you don't hurry up, there may be a new fork." ”
The silver-faced man heard the man's blame at this time, and said in a cold voice, "Hmph, what you said is light, if you hadn't lost the Ancient Fire Guide, and now you can't find it all over the place, how would I send someone to make this decision, but now how to take the next step." ”
"It's an accident to lose the Fire Artifact, it's a big deal to reforge this thing, but you are too reckless this time, not only slaughtered in the land of Sizhou, but also went to the land of Tantra, and has been detected by the people of the righteous path, if you commit something stupid like back then, I don't have the time to wait." The shadow heard the silver-faced man's tone slightly angry and said.
"Okay, I already know about this, and I found this place to make this plan, and now if this son really doesn't know the whereabouts of Huo Jian, he can only reforge it. ”
"Also, Nie Heng is greedy for merit, and he has a backbone, he must not be reused, so as not to spoil the big thing, this time I have taken a huge risk, if there is nothing urgent in the future, don't bother me." ”
"This is my man, where is the turn to get your lesson. Before he could finish speaking, the person behind him had disappeared, leaving only the silver-faced man here, quietly looking at the fire cave, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Qiu Xin woke up, I don't know how many days later, I was fixed in a huge wooden basin, my whole body was flooded with potion, there was a pungent smell of medicine, the potion was full of wounds, like salt erosion, the pain was unbearable, Qiu Xin subconsciously wanted to call someone to let him out, but no one answered after shouting a few words, and he struggled to get out, but his whole body was weak.
Helpless, he could only stay quietly in the medicinal soup, check the whole body, look inside the dantian, due to the injury has been swollen, large and small holes are all over it, the new true qi wanders in the dantian, no matter how hard Qiu Xin tries, he can't condense, and finally he can only give up.
The dantian is the foundation of people who practice martial arts, and now it has been destroyed like this by the unknown toad, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to practice internal force in the future, and my swordsmanship will not improve, as soon as I think of this, Qiu Xin unconsciously has a little more evil feelings towards this group of people, but now that his life is in the hands of this group of people, he can't resist.
I don't know what this pot of Chinese medicine is, it's quite magical, only after experiencing the initial pain, there is a crispy numb and indescribable comfortable feeling all over the body, after bathing, Qiu Xin's right arm has also recovered as before, and the abdominal wound is only a faint knife trace, but the dantian is still the same, not the slightest improvement, in this state, Qiu Xin fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, there was a gray-clothed man standing next to the wooden shed, dressed as a military advisor, but holding a whisk in his hand, it was the person who sacrificed blood that day, looking at Qiu Xin with a smile.
Seeing this, Qiu Xin asked, "Did he send you to ask about the fire jian?" I have already told him everything I know, and there is nothing to say if I ask again, so you better go back." ”
Hearing this, the man in gray stroked his beard and said, "Poor Daoist Li Daolin, this time he is not entrusted by the Lord, but by himself. ”
Qiu Xin wondered in his heart, "Then there is nothing to say in the future." After saying that, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Li Daolin seemed to have expected it, and then said, "Poor Dao is one of the few normal people in this grotto, the person who saved you that day is also Poor Dao, and the person who prepared this medicinal soup today is also Poor Dao, Your Excellency really doesn't have the slightest word of gratitude." ”
Qiu Xin was disdainful when he heard this, so that the people he is like today are this group, and now they are hypocritical and righteous, saving his life, which makes him even more ashamed, so he still closes his eyes and has no intention of opening his mouth.
After waiting for Qiu Xin to say no reply for a long time, the man continued, "What if the poor Dao has a way to cure the dantian?"
Hearing this, Qiu Xin was shocked, he had never heard anyone say that the dantian could be cured, and now he heard this Taoist priest swear, and he wanted to convince himself that people are like this, even if there is a little hope in despair, even if it is out of reach, he must desperately grasp it, Qiu Xin laughed at himself, even if the dantian is now destroyed, the recovery is far away, he also wants to know what the Taoist priest said, so he opened his eyes and said, "I don't know what the method of recovery is that the chief said?" I didn't realize that my tone had changed a lot.
The gray-clothed Taoist priest laughed, and then said, "It seems that the young man is also a reasonable person, I wonder if you would like to hear me tell a story?"
When Qiu Xin heard this, there was no reason, and he nodded hurriedly.
I saw the Taoist priest walk to the door, close the stone door, and then say to Qiu Xin, "Poor Dao has indeed been lonely for too long. ”
It's just an ordinary sentence, and when it comes out of his mouth, he doesn't feel the same way as Qiu Xin, yes, he has been lonely for too long.
In the small grotto, accompanied by the fragrance of medicine, the two of them looked at each other like this, and they both seemed to see the same feeling in each other's eyes.
