After I don't know how long it was, Chai Shao whispered in Li Xiuning's ear, then signaled to Li Jing's chin and walked into Diao Xiaosi's house.
Li Jing lowered his head and smiled, "This is ...... The Gift of the Victor?" walked by Li Xiuning, who was silent, just like the last meeting between the two back then.
Li Xiuning turned around and said slowly: "Why can't you face me, why can't you wait to leave? Is it because of your strong self-esteem, or do you disdain to say a word to me?"
Li Jing Huo Ran stopped, his back was as tall as a cold statue blending into the vast night, and replied, "What else can you and I say?"
Li Xiuning's heart trembled, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you want to know what point of Lu Dao is inferior to Chai Shao? In fact, appearance, talent, and cultivation are ...... He is inferior to you in any of them. I like him because he's as thick as a mountain, and you're like a sea, and you can throw a person into the clouds in one moment, only to plunge her to the bottom of the abyss the next. ”
Li Jing was silent for a long time, a lonely smile slowly escaped from the corner of his lips, and said, "Mountains and seas ......", and walked out of the courtyard without saying a word.
That night, he sat alone in the small building, silently listening to the spring rain outside the window, picked up the wine glass under the lamplight, flipped through a large box and found hundreds of jade statues, and the hot liquor one by one, and then picked up the box and walked downstairs alone, and buried it under the pomegranate tree in the back garden.
At this time, the Oriental Rooster sang and drank the last jar of wine tonight.
At the same moment, Diao Xiaosi was escorted by Geng Nanyi, Xia Peiheng and others, and rode to Hanguang Gate on horseback, and limped into the imperial city to see Princess Jincheng.
Although there was still one day before the agreed submission time for the formation diagram, Diao Xiaosi still decided to deliver the goods one day in advance, in order to go to Princess Jincheng to fight the autumn wind.
Twelve step-by-step lotus, two Yuyang Peiyuan Pills, and a six-grade immortal armor "Hundred Battles Frost Clothes" given by Chai Shao and his wife free of charge, Diao Xiaosi's confidence is full again.
After a night of conditioning by the thief and the old man, his injuries had healed, but at this moment, he deliberately pretended to be faltering and gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and slowly moved into the south study behind the Ganlu Palace.
Princess Jincheng changed into a light blue robe, and she was a little more elegant in her cold and luxurious, and Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but secretly look at it twice.
Accepting the illustration, Princess Jincheng took out a scroll and put it on the table as usual, and asked, "What do you want to change this time?"
Diao Xiaosi said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you ask me, who was injured, and how was the injury?"
"Aren't you still moving?"
"Nonsense, if you can't move, won't you become a dead man?"
"Isn't that enough?"
"But Lao Tzu is about to duel with Duan Zhentian, and if he doesn't do it, he will have to finish the game. ”
"Oh, it's okay, you can't die, it's possible to be beaten and crippled. ”
"You...... Didn't you give Duan Lao Dog any medicine?"
Princess Jincheng ignored Diao Xiaosi, took the list of refining materials from his hand and approved the word "quasi" without looking at it, and then threw it back to him and said, "Is there anything else?"
Diao Xiaosi was annoyed and said: "If Lao Tzu is really disabled, it's better to say, if he is unfortunately beaten into an idiot, then today is the last delivery." You'd better give me the antidote, lest Lao Tzu be stupid and slumped on the bed and desperately trying to find someone. ”
Princess Jincheng raised her head suddenly, and her two cold gazes seemed to pierce Diao Xiaosi in an instant.
Diao Xiaosi turned his heart and snorted: "Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, do you give an antidote?"
Princess Jincheng slowly pulled out a dark blue jade tube from her sleeve and said, "This is a seven-grade 'Wuyue Zhenhai Talisman', what do you exchange it for?"
Diao Xiaosi snatched it and said with satisfaction: "Take credit first, and then talk about it when I win this game." He picked up the scroll on the table and the list of refining materials and walked out of the study.
When one foot stepped over the threshold, he thought of something and turned back and said, "Your two subordinates are not bad, although they are a little older, they are both very beautiful." ”
Princess Jincheng was stunned, and said, "They will continue to protect you." ”
Diao Xiaosi smiled easily and said, "Of course, then I'll be relieved." "I walked out of the south study and received the refining materials, and went out of the palace and returned to Willow Garden.
He wanted to find a fortune operator, but found that the door of the other party's house was closed, and a ban was added around it, thinking that he was still busy, so he went straight back to his house without disturbing.
Sitting at the table and counting the newly acquired belongings in the past two days, Diao Xiaosi deduced the duel the day after tomorrow over and over again in his mind, and slowly gained a little confidence again.
"Lao Tzu doesn't have to fight with Duan Laogou, there should be a door for him to drag a pillar of incense through the soft grinding and hard bubbles, right?"
He looked at the brocade box containing starfish stones and the refining materials piled up on the table, and a vague shadow gradually appeared in his mind, which seemed to be extremely urgent but could not be grasped.
"No matter what, it's not fast to grind the gun. Diao Xiaosi pulled everything into the belt of the dragon, sat cross-legged on the bed, and rarely began to cultivate from broad daylight.
I don't know how much time passed, he suddenly felt a heat in his lower abdomen, and a cyclone shot out from the depths of the dantian, and the lightning suddenly swelled between the stones and fires, turning into a round and violent hurricane that broke through the sea of qi and soared upward, like an angry dragon awakened from a dormant slumber, instantly rushed to the top of his head, and smashed heavily on his heavenly spirit cover like a hammer.
"Boom-" Diao Xiaosi's mind collapsed, and the whole person seemed to be pressed into the inky black seawater, and the hurricane boiled and rushed like magma in his body, making him can't help but let out a long low roar!
"Boom-" The second hurricane swirled and flew along its original path, only to deviate from its course at the last moment and hit the Jade Pillow Cave hard.
"You pug!" Diao Xiaosi screamed again, and said in shock: "Lao Tzu won't be crazy again, right? No, this time I walked extremely steadily at every step, without any mistakes." Could it be that there is something wrong with the Sixty-Four Hexagram Luo Star Array itself?"
Don't let him think too much, the third, the fourth, the fifth...... Hurricanes burst out of the dantian one after another, knocking on different points one after another.
Diao Xiaosi felt as if his whole body had been ignited by a raging fire, and his internal organs, meridians, and bones were burning and melting, and the pain caused by this was indescribable, even better than all the punishment methods that the dead old man had ever imposed on him.
The only thing he could think of was to contemplate and protect his heart and keep a trace of his sanity on the Lingtai. But the more this is the case, the more obvious the pain of burning in the five inner parts will be.
Since I can remember, there has never been a moment like now, which makes Diao Xiaosi feel so long, and even an eternity that borders on despair.
But he couldn't stop, or rather, completely lost control of the true qi in his body.
The dantian is like a volcano erupting, roaring and surging and constantly spraying blazing hurricane magma. And this magma reached every corner of the body from the top of the head to the chest, from the arms to the legs.
"Dead God, why don't you just throw a thunder and kill Lao Tzu directly-"
Diao Xiaosi wanted to scream and struggle, but he was horrified to find that his whole body didn't obey the call, and he couldn't even make a sound in his throat.
"Lao Tzu didn't even have the strength to scold. Diao Xiaosi had the urge to hit his head with the jade astrolabe.
It was as if he had fallen into a terrible nightmare that was dark and never-ending, unaware of what was happening outside of him, as if he would never be able to wake up with his eyes open.
I don't know how long it took for the door to creak open, and Wan'er called softly, "Are you there?"
"Hmm-" A scorching wind that came from the face swirled and swirled in the room with Diao Xiaosi's body as the center, faintly exuding a silvery-white luster.
At some point, his figure drifted from the bed to the air, his skin taking on an eerie translucent state from the inside out, making it easy for others to see the meridians beneath his skin, and beams of silver-white hurricanes swirled all over his body, as if they were covered by a dense cloud of lightning.
Wan'er covered her cherry mouth in shock, lest she would disturb Diao Xiaosi, but she didn't know that even if the sky fell apart at this moment, it would not affect him in the slightest.
At the moment, Diao Xiaosi has been completely immersed in a vast star array. In front of his eyes, there was no longer darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, but bright meteors flying and intersecting.
After another two hours, the luster in Diao Xiaosi's body gradually faded, and his body slowly sank to the ground.
The swirling wind in the room was like a thousand strands of silver thread, incomposibly incorporated into his body.
Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, exited the house, and closed the door quietly.
The room was calm again, and apart from Diao Xiaosi's slow breathing, no other sound could be heard.
It wasn't until the night that he slowly woke up and turned around, and he felt that sixty-four important points in his body, such as Baihui, Jade Pillow, and Heavenly Court, were drumming and drumming, and each of them had a majestic nebula swirling and circulating, and all kinds of mysteries were condensed on the spiritual platform.
What's even more surprising is that after this purgatory-like baptism, Huo Ran has grown a lot, just like a stream has grown into a surging river.
Even so, his cultivation was still far inferior to Duan Zhentian, and if he wanted to win the gamble, he had to use other means.
Thinking of this, Diao Xiaosi stood up energetically and walked to the table, and took out the brocade box containing the starfish stone and a hundred ghosts night walking charm from the dragon belt.
He stared at these two things for a long time, and a pair of eyes unconsciously narrowed again, and a smirk escaped from the corner of his mouth, which was obviously someone who was going to be unlucky, and said to himself: "Two hundred thousand taels...... Can you have more?"
