Chapter 17 The Winter Tide Fills the Sky

Since that day, Ling Lao has disappeared again, and it is not until the evening of the Double Ninth Festival in early September that he appears on the castle tower, when the festive atmosphere permeates the whole city.

Since Wangxu City is under the jurisdiction of the Hidden Sect, some families in the city took the initiative to decorate the castle tower in order to please the Hidden Sect, and directly feasted all the disciples of the Hidden Sect in the city.

At first, some of these disciples were left to guard the castle tower, but after Elder Ling came, they were also dismissed, and these disciples also hurriedly thanked them, and some of them were so moved that they wept.

Although most of the disciples of the Hidden Sect came from the surrounding states of Zhongzhou, there were also many who came from remote state cities, and the Hidden Sect was not like the Tantric Sect, all of them were disciples of Buddhism, and they were all red dust.

Therefore, these disciples also have parents and relatives in the world, and they are not allowed to go home all the year round, so it has become a tradition to hold a banquet in the best restaurant in the city during such a reunion festival.

At this time, Ling Lao is also quite reasonable, this move can be regarded as a little comfort for these outer disciples, anyway, in this land of Zhongzhou, who dare to make a mistake?

Qiu Xin didn't join in the excitement, firstly, because he was not familiar with these urban families, and he didn't like many people, and secondly, he had a sore body since he was in a hurry that day, and until today, it has not completely faded.

So Qiu Xin stood on the city tower and watched the streets in the city be full of traffic, people coming and going, and he was still holding half a pot of wine in his hand, and he took a sip from time to time, but he was also happy.

"Yin boy, when did you give birth?" Ling Lao's voice sounded in his ears, and the wine jug in Qiu Xin's hand was also snatched away, and he took a sip.

"Elder Qi Ling, the disciples don't know either...... , but it should be before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it has been 17 years now. Qiu Xin's eyes were full of neon light in the distance, but it was a little blurry.

"Forty or fifty miles northeast of Wangxu City, there is a place called Ranxu Water Land, which is a bay, and there is a winter tide every year, for a total of ninety days, and we will stay here for ninety days. Ling Lao didn't continue to ask, but talked about Qiu Xin's strengthening of the body.

"Oh. "The length of time is still beyond Qiu Xin's expectations, but thinking about it, the matter of forging the body cannot be completed in a day or two, and it is normal to have a long time.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ling Lao set off with Qiu Xin, and had the experience of coming down from Mount Tai to hurry, and the forty or fifty miles were nothing.

Just when they were still some distance away from the ruins and waterlands, Qiu Xin heard the rumbling of water, and as they got closer, the sound became even louder.

In front of me was a wide sea of water, and the white waves on the surface of the sea were raging, and waves of sea water rushed to this place, blocked by the coast, and then retreated into the distance.

Ling Lao seemed to be very familiar with this place, first looked around on the shore, and then walked along the coast with Qiu Xin, and finally stopped on a cliff by the sea, and the terrain here is quite high, forming an inlet with a radius of dozens of zhang, leaving a mouth the size of three zhang facing the sea.

The inlet seems to have been deliberately dug deeper than other places, and the sea water enters here, but it only circulates in it, but it can't flow out, and every time it reaches a certain height, it will gradually become shallower like a flood, and finally repeat itself.

Qiu Xin was also attracted by this phenomenon, and concentrated his eyes to see what the reason was, but he didn't find anything, and the hair of the old man around him was very scattered by the sea breeze, and he said, "Don't look at it, the inlet here is a naturally formed siphon tunnel. ”

"What did you say?" The sound of the water was so loud that the sound flowing in here completely overwhelmed Ling Lao's voice, so Ling Lao used his true qi to transmit the sound and said it again.

Qiu Xin hadn't heard of what siphoning was, so he was about to ask, when there was a loud bang, and a smile appeared on Ling Lao's face when he heard this, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time, and said, "It's coming." ”

Before Qiu Xin could understand, he saw Ling Lao's gaze leave the inlet, and he looked at the sea in the distance, and the sea in the distance showed a layer of huge waves of more than ten zhang, like ten thousand horses galloping, and the entire coast seemed to tremble.

The white waves seen in the autumn heart before are not worth mentioning at all, presumably this is the winter tide in the mouth of the elder, this surging natural force gives people endless shock, it is the winter tide in the sky.

As the huge wave approached, the terrifying feeling became more and more intense, and Ling Lao turned his head to Qiu Xin and said, "Are you ready?"

"What are you going to prepare?" Qiu Xin suddenly felt that something was wrong, and was about to turn around and retreat into the depths of the shore, when a strong force behind him pushed him into the bay.

"Elder Ling, I won't ......" Before he finished speaking, the huge wave that followed smashed down head-on, Qiu Xin felt that every part of his body was like being hit by Shi Weihu's heavy hammer, and the tearing sensation all over his body made him have nowhere to hide.

The most important thing is that Qiu Xin can't swim yet, and the cold sea water wraps his whole body, pouring into his mouth and nose, faintly trying to devour him.

Qiu Xin immediately wanted to use his true qi to prop up his clothes and float to the surface, but the speed of the water in the inlet was extremely fast, and due to the tidal power carried in the huge waves, compared to the River of Tears, the Canghai Lan Lake was terribly larger.

Thousands of catties of water pressure squeezed every pore of him, not to mention that he wanted to stretch his clothes open, but it was extremely difficult to move his limbs if he wanted to use his true qi.

Qiu Xin panicked suddenly, Ling Lao was able to push himself into the water, he must have thought about it a long time ago, but what Ling Lao didn't know was that Qiu Xin didn't know how to swim!!

At this time, on the cliff on the shore, Ling Lao watched Qiu Xin's body be submerged by the sea, and sat directly on the cliff, watching the sea water in the inlet turn faster and faster, and fill higher and higher, and another layer of huge waves rose on the sea surface in the distance.

"Come on, come on, let the storm come more violently!" The huge waves seemed to hear what Ling Lao said, and instead of slowing down because they were blocked by the sea, they became higher and louder.

Qiu Xin's struggle in the water is useless, it is carried by the violent flow of the sea, and it flows at the bottom of the water, with no intention of rising, but faintly drifts to the middle, downward.

Suddenly, under the tremendous pressure, the surrounding sea water suddenly loosened, and the sea water violently converged downward, and Qiu Xin desperately kicked his limbs, and finally took effect, gradually surfacing the sea.

Qiu Xin took a big breath of the salty air on the sea, and shouted loudly, "Elder Ling, I won't ......" Suddenly, the sky in front of Qiu Xin's eyes darkened, and tens of thousands of tons of seawater smashed into the bay again.

Wrapped in Qiu Xin like a rootless fallen leaf, quickly disappeared into the sea water, Ling Lao, who was watching all this on the shore, blinked his eyes twice, and said to himself, "I seem to hear this kid call me......" But he didn't move, just raised his hand and scratched his head, and watched the tide in the sea intensify.

It's hard to resist, whether it's body or words, there is no way, Qiu Xin truly understands the ruthlessness of water and fire that people often say in the world.

Compared to falling into the hands of Nie Heng and those people, compared to dying, it is even more desperate, in the face of those people, at least he can still speak abusively, but this sea water is completely ruthless and sexless, and he is unmoved.

At this time, the three-color true qi that often raged in Qiu Xin's body seemed to be bullied at this time, and he stayed quietly in the dantian, and Qiu Xin tried his best to pull out a few traces of it, barely maintaining blood flow.

But because he didn't breathe for a long time, the bright red of his blood had turned dark red, and Qiu Xin's skin was full of bruises, and the whole person's consciousness was about to faint.

Suddenly, that exhilarating feeling of relaxation came to the body, and the compressed three-color true qi filled the whole body at an extremely fast speed, like tentacles, washing every meridian and impacting every obstacle encountered.

If this kind of thing was put in normal times, Qiu Xin would have screamed in pain, this kind of pain was unbearable, but today, through the huge pressure of the cold sea, Qiu Xin began to be numb, this pain is not comparable to the feeling of despair and fear at the bottom of the sea.

Qiu Xin kicked his limbs as hard as he could, returned to the water, and waved violently to Ling Lao, "Ahem, Ling Lao, I ......" The huge waves seemed to have calculated the time, just when the sea water in the bay happened to flow to a certain height, it would hit, and Qiu Xin's words were forced back.

Ling Lao seemed to be asleep at this time, in this huge sound of water, he didn't open his eyes at all, so Qiu Xin experienced another painful reincarnation, and when he returned to the water again, Ling Lao finally opened his eyes, Qiu Xin smiled on his face, did not shout, or no longer had the strength to shout, just kept beckoning.

Seeing this, Ling Lao also smiled and beckoned to Qiu Xin, quietly watching Qiu Xin being taken into the sea again, Ling Lao said with a smile, "It seems that this kid is having a lot of fun, but I thought he didn't agree at first." ”

I don't know if the body has become numb, or the waves have gradually weakened, Qiu Xin no longer resists, let the sea water compress himself over and over again, and then relax again.

Indifferently perceiving that three-colored true qi washing over him like sea water in his body, until Qiu Xin's entire mouth had a nose hemorrhage, his pupils contracted, and his consciousness gradually declined.

A dozen or dozens of painful reincarnations in the huge waves, finally let the time come to noon, the tide gradually dissipated, Ling Lao stood up, tread the water, and lifted the motionless Qiu Xin back to the water.

"Ahem... cough..."Qiu Xin's blood was mixed with sea water, and there was no sound of sea water in his ears at all, perhaps because the sea water filled his ears, or because his consciousness was weak, Qiu Xin could only lie on the cliff and look at the blue sky.

Suddenly, a smiling face full of wrinkles appeared in his field of vision, and he opened his mouth and said, "How is it?

"Ahem... cough..."The violent cough drove Qiu Xin's body to tremble, he had never felt too cold since he was a child, and at this time, under the sea breeze, his lips were so cold that his lips turned white.

"What's the matter, this kind of body forging method is only something I can think of, not only to watch the magnificent winter tide, but also to take the opportunity to cultivate external skills. ”

"Ahem... Ahem..."
