Chapter 9 Trial Heart Ridge
Eight hundred miles to the west from Qinglong Temple, has been out of the border of Huaxu, there is a big mountain standing in front of you, traversing the north and south, isolating the east and west, stretching for thousands of miles, blocking the way. Huaxu people have the habit of seeing this mountain and turning back, because of the legend of Huaxu since ancient times, after this mountain is thousands of miles of wilderness, it is another shijie, mortals can not enter. Therefore, there has never been a record of the mountain, only some bizarre and absurd fairy legends. Therefore, this mountain is named Trial Heart Ridge in Huaxu Kingdom, which means that when you see this mountain, it means that the road ahead has been broken, and you know that you have to turn back.
The sun was getting brighter, and although the east was white, the sky was still black and oppressive, and a few unknown birds were chirping in the branches, looking for early insects to eat. At the foot of the Tentative Heart Ridge, Lu Zheng was woken up by the bird's call and slowly opened his eyes.
His head was extremely dizzy, and he wanted to reach out and wipe his eyes, but he found that his hands and feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't lift them at all. Lu Zheng suddenly came to his senses, looked around, and found that he was lying on a big rock, but there seemed to be something wrong with his eyes, he couldn't see anything clearly, there was a vague scene in front of him, and it was a hazy distant mountain when he looked hard. There was a buzzing sound in my ears, and when I listened closely, it seemed to be the sound of running water, as if it was nearby, and it seemed to come from far away, and it was not easy for my ears to use.
All this, like a hallucination, is more like a dream. Why can't my eyes see clearly, my ears can't hear clearly, and it's extremely difficult for my hands and feet to move, where is I? Lu Zheng was so anxious that he almost didn't cry, and quickly shouted: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, ninth brother......
When I opened my mouth to shout, the voice that came out was like a mosquito calling, so small that I couldn't even hear it clearly, and I couldn't even speak normally, and I suddenly panicked.
"Little donor, you're awake!" an unfamiliar voice sounded.
Lu Zheng heard what seemed to be someone talking to him again, but the person who spoke seemed to be far away from him, and it wasn't the voice of Brother Jiu. Lu Zheng leaned out, blinking his eyes hard, and could only barely see a standing figure not far away, he asked loudly, "Ninth brother, aren't you the ninth brother? Where is this?"
That person was an ascetic, he noticed Lu Zheng's abnormality, so he came to his eyes and waved his hand, seeing that Lu Zheng did not react, he amplified the voice in his ear and said: "This is the Trial Heart Ridge, eight hundred miles away from Qinglong Temple, it is already the border of Huaxu Kingdom...... Can't you see?" it seems that there is something wrong with the eyes, mouth, and ears of the child in front of him.
Eight hundred miles? This time, Lu Zheng heard clearly, the border of Huaxu Kingdom? Lu Zheng had never left the three streets near the Chenghuang Temple since he was a child, how could he come to the border of Huaxu Kingdom so far? So how long did he sleep? Who was the stranger in front of him? Could it be that this stranger took him for eight hundred miles?
Lu Zheng's mind was full of problems, his heart changed from panic to fear, his eyes didn't know why he suddenly couldn't see clearly, and there was also a problem with his ears, Brother Jiu didn't know where he went, but he was a stranger in front of him, and he guessed a lot of possibilities in his heart.
But at present, since he can't figure out the current situation, there is still a bit of concern in this voice, thinking that the other party will not immediately harm himself, thinking of what Brother Jiu usually teaches himself, he must calm down first and figure out the situation at any time. Lu Zheng forcibly suppressed his fear, and replied honestly: "I can't see anything now, only a white patch, and my ears can't hear clearly, listening to you is like a mosquito." My head hurts so much, I want to sleep in a dizzy and painful way, where is Brother Jiu? Can you tell me where my Brother Jiu is? He's okay?"
In fact, his eyesight and hearing are much better than what he described, and he can basically see clearly within his reach, but when he woke up and found himself in a situation, naturally no one dared to believe it, so he deliberately lied and made the situation more serious. didn't ask who the other party was, even a big hand waved in front of him just now, testing his eyesight, and pretending to be invisible, so that the other party let down his guard.
Hearing Lu Zheng's inquiry, the ascetic sighed and said, "Don't you remember the situation that night? The reason why you can't see clearly, you can't hear clearly, and you can't move is because of poisoning. ”
After the dervish rescued Lu Zheng, he found a secluded place and carefully observed the situation in Lu Zheng's body. He looked through Lu Zheng's body with his heavenly eyes, and found that the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and the five organs of Lu Zheng's body, as well as the mud pill palace in the eyebrows, all had a white yin qi coiled, and these six yin qi were not static, but rotated endlessly in a whirlpool, forming an air vortex. He tried to use his magic power to extract those yin qi masses, but he didn't expect that the yin qi had been connected to the five internal organs, and if he wanted to forcibly suppress and extract it, he was afraid that it would directly hurt Lu Zheng's five internal organs.
The ascetic is not good at medicine, which makes him not know what to do for a while, but fortunately, Lu Zheng's jade pendant constantly exudes that white brilliance, firmly protecting his heart and forming a certain counterbalance with the yin poison in his body, so Lu Zheng was able to save his life. After thinking about it, the ascetic thought of a place that would inevitably be able to unravel the poison on Lu Zheng's body, so he decided to take Lu Zheng to seek medical treatment, so he took Lu Zheng on the road.
"Poisoned? How could I be poisoned? What happened that night? Last night, Brother Jiu and I went to Qinglong Temple...... And then I saw ...... Ah, youkai, by the way, that's a youkai!" Lu Zheng heard the other party's words clearly, endured his headache, tried to recall, and suddenly remembered the scene he saw through the crack in the window, and shouted again and again, "I saw the blood-sucking monster, his tongue is so long, and the fat man was sucked dry by him in a few clicks, and then the monster came at me, spraying a puff of white gas on my face, I smelled a sweet smell, and then I didn't know anything...... Brother Jiu, you have been refusing to tell me where Brother Jiu went, something happened to Brother Jiu, right? How is Brother Jiu, please tell me!" He remembered the situation that night, remembered the terrifying monster, but a faint fear was born in his heart, and he struggled to get up in a hurry.
His voice was as thin as a gnat, but it was urgent and chaotic, but fortunately, the ascetic had a practice in his body, and his ears were amazing, so he could hear clearly, so he quickly held him down, and then sighed again, and said, "Little donor, don't move." The poor monk told you the truth, your companion was taken away by that monster, but I am afraid that it is already more than auspicious now. ”
The ascetic has a straightforward personality, and when he practices Buddhism, he strictly abides by the precept of not lying, and is not good at covering it up with words. Although he used the Foshan Torture Tower to intimidate the snake demon at that time, he knew that since this monster dared to do evil on this side of the fence, even if he might not have any worries about the Foshan Torture Tower, he probably wouldn't really take such a threat to heart. What's more, this snake demon was still so seriously injured, and it was extremely necessary to suck people's essence blood to replenish vitality, and it was impossible to let go of the boy in his hand in vain, presumably Tang Xiaojiu had already been sucked dry by him at this moment.
He was also very remorseful in his heart, thinking that the first time he bumped into the snake demon and harmed people, he actually had a thought of compassion, and was deceived by the snake demon's false repentance and let him go. Knowing this, he should have used thunderbolt means to cut off the sin in the first place, so why not affect these two children.
When Lu Zheng heard this, although he couldn't distinguish the truth from the false, he confirmed it with the speculation in his heart, and he was even more worried about Tang Xiaojiu's safety.
The ascetic hurriedly stepped forward to inspect it, and found that he was too excited, and he was so depressed that he quickly took out a pill that strengthened Peiyuan and stuffed it into Lu Zheng's mouth, casting a spell to guide his qi to run and help him digest the medicinal power, Lu Zheng's face improved, but he never woke up.
He saw Lu Zheng's brows furrowed, and thought to himself, as soon as he woke up, he would call Brother Jiu, and it should be the young man who was taken away by the snake demon. These two young men are hard-working little beggars, who have grown so big, and they don't know how much the world has endured, but they are so affectionate and supportive of each other, which is really rare! I couldn't help but recite a few more Buddha horns and sigh.
I remembered that after Lu Zheng woke up just now, there were problems with his eyes, ears, and limbs, and he couldn't even speak clearly, which should be inseparable from the poisonous qi that was entrenched in his five internal organs and eyebrows. The five organs of the human body are connected to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, and it seems that the six clouds of yin and poisonous qi have caused problems in Lu Zheng's five organs and the mud pill palace, and many symptoms such as inability to see, hear and move will appear. Thinking of this, the dervishes knew that the situation was even more serious than he had imagined, and it seemed that he had decided to take the boy to that place correctly.
It wasn't until the evening that Lu Zheng woke up in a burst of warmth, and his body seemed to be able to move a little, but when he moved, he felt sore and numb, and his head was still as heavy as a mountain, so he had to lie still. When he opened his eyes, it was still blurry, accompanied by bursts of soreness, so he had to close his eyes, but there were bursts of warm currents in the air, and he felt that there was a bonfire around him.
A voice in my ear said, "Little donor, you're awake!"
This voice was exactly the same as what he heard when he woke up before, and even the tone was the same concern, Lu Zheng couldn't help but be in a trance, could it be that he woke up before and was dreaming? Brother Jiu didn't die, it was just his nightmare just now? He was worried in his heart, afraid that if he continued to listen, he would be the same as the 'dream' just now, he was told that Brother Jiu had been eaten by monsters, and he didn't dare to say a word under fear.
But this time, the voice was not as distant and empty as the previous time, but very clear, just like what I usually heard. Lu Zheng wondered, could he hear it clearly again? Carefully distinguished, but found that the voice did not seem to be heard from his ears, but more like it sounded directly in his heart.
After thinking about it, I realized that this voice was very different from the previous one, the former was vague and the latter was clear. He didn't know that this was the ascetic's magical power of the Buddha's door sound into the heart, which could directly turn his thoughts into Lu Zheng's heart, and turn his thoughts into heart sounds, so that he could hear it so clearly.
In that case, it wasn't a dream to wake up before, was the ninth brother really killed by that monster? Thinking that the ninth brother might have died, Lu Zheng's heart was like a ball of cotton, and he couldn't breathe, he didn't want to believe that it was true, and he didn't dare to continue to ask clearly.
When the ascetic saw him wake up, he shrank there without saying a word, so he continued to channel with his heart: "Little donor, don't be sad, it's important to take care of your body first." The yin poison in your body is very powerful, and you have been in a coma for ten days, and the poor monk is powerless, so he can only temporarily suppress the poison. But don't worry, the poor monk will take you to a place where he can heal you. ”
It turned out that he had been in a coma for ten days, so it is possible that the ninth brother has been dead for ten days. Lu Zheng's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he wanted to cover his tears with his hands, but unfortunately his hands and feet couldn't move at will, so he had to let the tears keep staying, and a voice kept echoing in his heart, constantly saying to himself: "What he said is false, Brother Jiu is not dead, what he said is false, Brother Jiu is not dead......"
