The fluorite on the stone wall always emits a miserable green shimmer, and it is impossible to distinguish between day and night. Lin Hui's consciousness was sometimes awake and sometimes blurred, so that he couldn't tell how much time had passed, and he couldn't even tell whether he was dead or alive, whether he was dreaming or waking up, and the body that endured seemingly endless pain was not his own. Several times, Lin Hui would float in the void like a soul shedding, and he saw that his body had returned to the cabin, sitting quietly, blowing the evening breeze, and watching the sunset. However, in the next moment, he would fall into an endless abyss filled with blue-gray light in a whirlwind of heaven.

Lin Hui vaguely remembered that the cold man had fed himself eleven times, and he couldn't be sure, because every time before and after the medicine, his consciousness was very confused and painful, like porcelain shattered into pieces.

It wasn't until the man gave Lin Hui medicine for the fifteenth time that his consciousness could remain clear for a long time. By the time he had taken the eighteenth black pill, the feeling of the bones shattering all over his body had finally disappeared. After enduring the immense pain of torn through countless wounds caused by twisting his body, Lin Hui was finally able to move his arms and neck.

After that, the cold man never appeared again, and no one else appeared. Lin Hui was lying on the bed, although the wounds and broken bones in his body had been closed, and while the new flesh and bones had regrown, they also brought continuous bursts of itching, which made him very irritable. But it's much better than being drugged and tortured.

Lin Hui had already understood that those black pills were actually healing elixirs. Although the pain caused by each dose of medicine is like being crushed by someone to crush the bones of the whole body, and then put them together piece by piece, regenerate and crush them, and so on. The effect of the medicine is real, the man who is like Bai Impermanence, every time Lin Hui guesses that he is treating him with good intentions, he will immediately think of the undisguised pleasure that flashes in his eyes when he watches him struggle, and the hoarse laughter that makes people palpitate. From this, Lin Hui concluded that the man did not have the slightest kindness towards him.

The tingling and irritability made Lin Hui can't help but want to flip his body, but every time he tried, he only got painful convulsions in his body. Fortunately, after lying down for about two days, he was finally able to leave the cold stone bed. Although the bones and joints of his legs and feet still hurt so much that his skin twitched up and down, he could already lean on the stone wall and walk slowly.

Walking out of the stone room, Lin Hui found that there was a passage outside that could only allow the two of them to walk side by side. Unlike the flat stone walls in the stone chamber, the passage is rough on both sides and on both sides. Every two or three zhang, there is a fluorite inlaid on the rock wall for lighting. After walking through the passage of nearly ten zhang with difficulty, and turning a corner, the surrounding breath finally became fresh, no longer as cold and turbid as in the stone chamber.

Lin Hui walked out of the passage, and a canopy of stars came into view, causing him to have a momentary confusion in his mind. He was now conscious, and he remembered exactly how he fought with a group of skeleton monsters in a stalactite cave before being sucked into a strange ball of light. Not understanding why he had returned to the ground when he woke up, Lin Hui couldn't help but think, "What happened when I was unconscious?"

However, looking closely at the night overhead, Lin Hui found that the stars in the sky were all shining with a dim green light, and they did not flicker as usual. Lin Hui grew up in the mountains, and often looked up at the starry sky at night in his spare time, so he recognized many stars, and the night sky in front of him was completely different from the night sky in his memory, not only the color of the stars, but also their positions with each other.

A bold thought flashed through his mind, and perhaps he saw not the sky, but the roof of an extremely large cavern, and the stars were nothing more than ordinary fluorite, like those embedded in the stone wall behind him. However, after observing the height and breadth of this "canopy", Lin Hui denied his thoughts: "If this is really a cave, how big should this cave be?"

At this moment, as if in response to Lin Hui's thoughts, a full moon appeared in the distance near the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Hui only felt very sleepy, leaned against the rough rock wall, and then dragged back to the stone chamber with difficult steps. Lying on the stone bed as cold as ice, Lin Hui was still thinking about how he got back to the ground. Before he could find any clues in his fragmentary memories, he fell asleep unconsciously.

In his sleep, Lin Hui dreamed that he was embarrassed by someone and a group of skeletons. But this time there was no pain of the monster tearing and biting, Lin Hui only remembered that he kept running, and then was chased, surrounded, and drowned by the skeletons, and then he ran out again, and was swallowed by the tide of skeletons again. Although there is no pain, fear is as rich as substance like the omnipresent darkness of dreams. Lin Hui even guessed for a moment in his dream, guessing that everything around him was actually just a dream. Even though I know I'm in a dream, there's no way to wake up. The thought of the dream did not help him in any way, but brought him a deeper fear.

When he woke up, Lin Hui only felt that his cheeks, chest and back were dripping with sweat, and the stone bed was even wet. Fortunately, there was no more pain in the body, only the occasional itching remained, which was also the first thing that Lin Hui was pleased with after being brought into this stone room.

Lin Hui stood up, only to find that he was wearing an earthy yellow cotton robe, and his original linen deerskin skirt was missing. The stone chamber was full of cold stones, and he only had to look around to know that it was not in the room. It wasn't a valuable object, Lin Hui didn't care, and after fastening the belt on his robe, he walked straight out.

At this time, the outside world was already bright, and after walking out of the passage, Lin Hui subconsciously looked up at the sky, and couldn't help frowning. A red sun hung in the middle of the sky, but unlike the yellow and white sun in his memory, the sun above his head was blood-red. Although the sun is sometimes as red as blood in the early morning and evening, there is no reason why the midday sun is also red.

Moreover, the light emitted by this sun was far less dazzling than in his memory, Lin Hui stared at the sun intently for a long time, and his eyes did not have any discomfort. The same thought came back to me: "Am I really in a huge cavern and not on the ground?"

Lin Hui immediately dismissed this idea, because it was too ridiculous, how could there be a sun in the cave. He remembered the legends that deceived children, and the so-called change of the sun and moon was actually the sun climbing into the sky from a cave, and the heavens and the earth were illuminated, that is, the day. At night, the sun climbs back into the cave and changes to the moon to cruise the sky. Of course, there are other versions of the story, such as the fact that Sun and Moon are actually a husband and wife, and Lin Hui only listens to it as a joke.

Lin Hui naturally didn't think that the place he was in was the cave where the legendary sun hid, but everything around him was too weird.

In the crimson sunlight, everything was a dull blood color, and its shape was slightly distorted, as if it were separated by a curtain of water.

Lin Hui looked around and found that there were many holes around, just like the ones behind him, so he planned to go into those holes to take a look and find someone to ask him where he was.

"New here. As soon as he took a few steps, a familiar voice came from behind Lin Hui. Hearing a hoarse voice like a crow, Lin Hui felt a palpitation. In the past days, this voice that Lin Hui could not forget was associated with the black pills that were as black as charcoal, and those black pills brought great pain that lasted for a long time every time.

Lin Hui turned his head and saw the white impermanence. In the fiery red daylight, the man's complexion was also dyed a little red, so that he looked like a living person, and was no longer as pale and gloomy as in the stone chamber. Lin Hui will not forget the hideous face of the man who showed crazy joy when he was struggling in pain. Lin Hui clenched his right hand behind his back, thinking about the consequences of smashing his fist on the extremely disgusting face in front of him.

The man looked coldly at Lin Hui, who was staring at him with full vigilance, and a dark blue scroll appeared in his hand, and he didn't see where he had taken it out before. The man threw the scroll to Lin Hui and said in his characteristic hoarse voice, "According to the practice written above, you still have three months to go." ”

Regardless of whether Lin Hui heard it clearly or not, the man turned around and left after finishing speaking.

It wasn't until the man's figure disappeared into the cave in the distance that Lin Hui looked down at the scroll in his hand, only to see the words "Seven Vortex Techniques" written on the cover, and a stunned look appeared on his face, quite a little crying and laughing.

Although there are not many people in the world who have achieved cultivation, they all know that practicing the "Seven Vortex Technique" can strengthen the body and prolong life, so almost everyone practices this technique, even seven-year-old children have many who can recite the full text of the "Seven Vortex Techniques". Most sectarian families use the Seven Vortex Techniques as a basic exercise, but they generally do not arrange special teachings, because they are basically taught by individuals.

Lin Hui was very familiar with this "Seven Vortex Technique", and all the seven vortices had already been condensed on his body, and he had already condensed a spiritual vein that connected all the spiritual energy vortices, and was in the middle level of spiritual veins. I don't know what the man's intention was to hand over the "Seven Spirals" to Lin Hui. After tens of thousands of years of evolution, the world's study of the "Seven Vortex Techniques" has been very thorough, and even if the understanding of it by various sects and families is unique, the differences are extremely subtle. Lin Hui didn't believe that there was anything special about the magic trick in his hand.

"You're the new guy, I heard that all your bones have been crushed, aren't you?" An old voice came from behind him, startling Lin Hui in thought.

Lin Hui found that on the ground more than ten zhang behind him, there was a thin old man. Because he, like everything around him, was dyed a faint red by the blood-colored sunlight, so that Lin Hui never noticed him.

Walking up to the old man, Lin Hui realized that he was not old, there was not a single white hair on his head, and there was no wrinkle on his face. It's just that the skin of other parts of his body is crawling with folds, as if he is wearing a shriveled human skin outside his body, coupled with his hoarse voice, Lin Hui mistakenly thought he was an old man when he saw him for the first time.

When Lin Hui was still guessing the age of the man sitting on the ground, the other party was already a little impatient, and shouted: "What about you, why did you become dumb after a few days? ”
