Chapter 434: A tiger in the heart, ice outside
Chapter 434: A tiger in the heart, ice outside
Outside the Wanbao Tower, deep in the night.
The rain was dripping, and figures in black took turns sitting in the rain.
Each of them held a piece of the fragment in their hands.
The fragments were of different sizes and irregular specifications. Under the activation of the mysterious power, they each emitted a strange sound.
This sound can destroy people's minds and drive them crazy.
The masked man who had just come out of Wanbao Tower was behind this group of men in black.
He was inside the tent, sitting on a large chair, just like his mask...the chair was also very valuable.
It is yellow and white, one part is forged with gold, and the other part is outlined with silver, and it is inlaid with pearls and agates.
The masked man supported his chin with one hand and had his eyes closed, as if he was waiting quietly.
And behind him, there was another person standing.
The man was wearing white clothes, but the style of the clothes was a bit strange.
The rest was fine except for a huge collar that stood up, covering his mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
His eyes are also different from normal people's.
There seemed to be no pupils, and the eyes were full of paleness.
There was a vertical mark between the eyebrows, as black as ink, pointed at the top and wide at the bottom, as if a leech was lying there.
Now his eyes were fixed on Wanbao Tower, and he spoke slowly:
"This seems to be different from what was said before..."
"I met someone."
The masked man's fingers tapped lightly on the back of the chair, as if dancing on his fingertips following the voice in his mind.
"who?"
The man with pale eyes asked softly.
"A very difficult young man."
The masked man raised his lips slightly:
"Cang Tong, do you know? He can actually deceive me with illusion!"
Cang Tong's expression remained unchanged, he just looked in the direction of Wanbao Tower:
“This is really rare.
"The dean's attainments in this art are not inferior to those of the Pavilion Master. If he can deceive you with illusion, doesn't that mean he can also deceive the Pavilion Master with illusion?"
"What do you think?"
"This man should be killed!"
“It’s hard to say…”
The masked man said softly:
"The two who went in haven't come out yet. I'm afraid they are in grave danger."
"It is their honor to die for the dean."
Cang Tong's tone remained indifferent.
The masked man shook his head.
"Human life is of paramount importance... Don't think that dying is an honor. I would rather each of you live well.
"You can follow me and see the day when the world becomes one."
“I will definitely try my best to live.
"It lives up to the expectations of the dean."
After Cang Tong answered silently, he turned around and walked to a table not far away and began to write quickly.
The masked man didn't even turn his head or open his eyes:
"What are you doing?"
"write a letter."
"to whom?"
"To the Pavilion Master."
"Why?"
"Ask him to send reinforcements."
"…There is no need for that. Everything is under my control."
"You said the same thing last time, but it backfired. Not only did you have an unnecessary fight with someone, but you even let that person escape.
"If it weren't for the [Heart Tribulation] taking effect, we would not be able to stay here safely now."
The masked man was speechless for a moment, thought for a moment and said:
"If I remember correctly, the last time you mentioned was more than ten years ago, right?"
"You want to hear the latest one?"
Cang Tong nodded:
“Before the formation was completed, I told the dean not to go in.
"No matter how confident you are, you should always assume the worst possible outcome.
“But… you said that everything is under your control.
“Finally, you came back in a very embarrassed state.
“We also launched a battle formation in advance.
"This happened just an hour ago."
"..."
A vein popped up silently on the masked man's forehead. He took a deep breath and said:
"Cang Tong."
"My subordinate is here."
"Palm mouth."
"Yes."
Cang Tong slapped himself lightly on the mouth, which was considered as a slap.
"That sweet-talker was deceived by your cold eyes and thought you would be a cold puppet.
“You can carry out my orders meticulously.
"As a result... all the swords, spears, and halberds were pointed at my heart.
"Does this count as a master-eater?"
"The master who devours you must be a divine weapon. I am just a piece of stubborn stone and cannot be blamed for devouring you."
"…I can't argue with you."
"I am terrified."
He had a response to every sentence, but every one of them was unpleasant to the ear.
The masked man didn't intend to continue arguing and began to change the subject:
"Whose hands did this happen to me?"
"The Third Young Master is the current leader of the Lingbei martial arts world."
"Leader? It's just a joke. Although Tiansha is a reckless man, his martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary.
“He was able to kill Tiansha, which shows that he has some skills.
"Bring me the portrait."
"Yes."
Cang Tong rummaged around on the table for a while, and after a moment, came to the masked man with a scroll.
The masked man still had his eyes tightly closed, and Cang Tong was holding the opened portrait:
"How about, wait until you wake up?"
"…I did not sleep."
"So you are resting your eyes?"
"That's right. I was indeed resting my eyes... Now once I open my eyes, my mind feels like it's being pierced by thousands of needles. It's so painful that I wish I were dying."
After listening to this, Cang Tong put the scroll into the masked man's hands without saying a word.
The masked man was startled, then he heard footsteps leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help asking:
"What are you doing again?"
"Rewrite the letter."
"Why?"
"We have a unclear estimate of the enemy and our own. I am worried that the people sent by the Pavilion Master are not enough, so I asked him to send more people."
"..."
The masked man was silent for a long while, then he opened his right eye a little, and looked at the scroll in his hand in the light of the sky.
The next moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Master of the Wulin, I haven't heard this statement for many years.
"Interesting...quite interesting."
He raised his eyes and wanted to see the rain in the sky.
But when he looked up, he saw a huge face floating in the sky. It was Chu Qing's face.
This face covered half of the sky, and its eyes were like the sun and the moon, staring at himself quietly.
The masked man was startled, his whole body shook, and the scroll fell. But when he looked again, the sky had returned to pitch black.
The rain...is still falling.
There seemed to be a muffled sound of pain, but it was broken by the raindrops and could not be heard clearly.
……
……
Inside the Wanbao Tower, the [Five Heart Protection Formations] had already been taught by Miss Jiang.
The people in the first group had no objection to this.
After all, considering the current situation, Miss Jiang's method may be the best one.
If we stop them at this time, we will be considered as making an enemy of everyone in Wanbao Tower today.
Therefore, even if it is the first inheritance, there is no need to worry about whether it will be leaked.
However, in order to prevent the problem from escalating further, they still reminded everyone.
They can use this method, but after leaving Wanbao Tower, they cannot use it again unless it is absolutely necessary... and they cannot teach it to others.
Otherwise, the first one in the world will definitely be difficult for them.
As they were all from the martial arts world, they naturally understood why the First Dao was like that, and they all nodded immediately, saying that they would never leak the secret.
As for whether what you say is true or false, naturally only you know.
Chu Qing did not participate in it, but with Wenrou, he found a quiet room in Wanbao Tower.
He didn't care about the current situation. After all, with his abilities, even if he couldn't save Daxia from collapse, he was able to protect Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou from danger.
But he couldn't ignore Wenrou's situation.
After just a quick check, Chu Qing still didn't know why Wenrou was unconscious.
Her pulse was strong and powerful, and she had no hidden injuries. Using the [Zhao Yu Shen Ce] to travel all over her body, he found that the girl was in very good health.
"Then why is she unconscious?"
A trace of doubt arose in Chu Qing's heart, hesitating whether to try to use the Great Method of Changing the Heaven and Earth to sneak into Wenrou's spiritual world.
Ever since the [Crying Soul and Chaos God Formation] outside was activated, she suddenly became like this.
Maybe it was this method of confusing her mind that put her in this situation. If I could sneak into her spiritual world and sort out her mental state, maybe I could wake her up.
But Chu Qing was a little hesitant about this.
After all, this is just a guess...it's hard to say whether it's correct or not.
In addition, he was not willing to pry into Wenrou's heart easily. What if she had some secrets that she didn't want others to know?
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room.
Chu Qing frowned and opened the door, only to see Wan Chunhua standing outside, looking at him awkwardly.
Then he pointed at Huangfu Yixiao beside him and said:
"This gentleman wants to find you, and I can't stop him."
"Big brother."
Huangfu Yixiao asked directly:
"How is my sister-in-law?"
"what?"
Chu Qing was stunned:
"What did you say?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it right?"
Huangfu Yixiao looked at Wu Qianhuan who was standing beside him:
"This is my eldest sister-in-law, and the one who is unconscious is my youngest sister-in-law. Is there any problem?"
Wu Qianhuan rolled her eyes at him:
"Stop talking nonsense, what are you doing here?"
"I'm concerned... There is also a doctor in Wanbao Tower, and his skills are extremely advanced. Do you want to ask him to come over and help?"
Chu Qing's eyes lit up:
"Okay, I owe you a favor. Come in."
"I've been waiting for a long time."
Huangfu Yixiao turned and left, and after a moment, he brought back a little old man.
Chu Qing was stunned:
"It's you?"
This little old man is the one in Yuanju Pavilion.
"Alliance leader, we meet again."
The old man smiled:
"How is that little girl? When I look at her, I feel close to her. That's why I came here uninvited. Please don't blame me, leader."
Is the friendliness due to height?
Chu Qing couldn't help but mutter in his heart, and then quickly said:
"It turns out that you are a master of medicine. I apologize for being rude. Please come in."
"It's easy to talk about."
The old man nodded and came into the house carrying a medicine box.
He walked to Wenrou, stretched out two dry fingers, and placed them on Wenrou's pulse.
After a moment, the old man's eyelids jumped:
"Heavenly fragrance smelling body?"
After saying this, he suddenly looked at Chu Qing:
"Is she from the Wen family?"
"Senior knows?"
Chu Qing's heart also skipped a beat.
Wen Fusheng was on high alert for the fact that Wenrou had the ability to smell the heavenly fragrance, but he didn't expect that this little old man would be able to see through it just by touching his wrist.
"What is the Heavenly Fragrance Smell Body?"
Huangfu Yixiao couldn't help but ask.
The old man didn't answer, but seemed to be thinking about something.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand and said to Chu Qing:
"If what the old man saw is correct, the leader should have an extremely powerful magical power that can reach the depths of people's hearts?"
"Exactly."
Trina did not hide it:
"She really... has a mental problem?"
The old man did not answer directly, but asked:
"Alliance leader, you know that people with a natural scent body cannot live past the age of twenty-five."
"Junior knows."
Chu Qing nodded.
"Yeah, that's right... If you didn't know, you wouldn't have gone looking for the [Earth Scroll].
"It is rumored that the ancestor of the Wen family was able to escape death with the help of the [Unchanging Heavenly Book]."
The matter of Luochen Villa was a secret even in Wen Fusheng's eyes, but this old man spoke of it casually as if he knew everything about it.
Chu Qing looked at the old man in front of him with a little hesitation.
The old man smiled and said:
"It's normal for you to be worried. Wanbaolou was indeed a little concerned about the physique in the rumors...
“However, that is a thing of the past.
“It’s fate that we meet now… so I’ll chat with the leader for a while.
"The reason why the Tianxiang Nose Body cannot live past the age of 25 is, in the final analysis, the imbalance of yin and yang."
"?"
Chu Qing was stunned. How could this be explained?
The old man stroked his beard and smiled:
"It's not the imbalance of yin and yang as you think, but the disharmony between inside and outside.
“There is a fierce tiger in the heart and ice outside.
“It may be possible at first, but it is like water in a jar that cannot be drained out.
"Normally, when the water is full, it will overflow. As her mind grows, she has countless thoughts and ideas deep in her heart, but none of them can be vented.
"If one continues to exhaust himself in the sea of spiritual consciousness, he will inevitably become emaciated and die of depression over time.
“It’s actually not difficult to cure this disease.
"The Unchanging Heavenly Book has three volumes: Heaven, Earth, and Man. With man as the foundation, one gradually merges with Heaven and Earth, and penetrates the three volumes of the Heavenly Book. This can lead to an unprecedented achievement.
"The "Human" scroll and the "Earth" scroll are a process from the inside out.
“Putting it on the body of Tianxiang is like opening a hole in a water tank, allowing it to flow out and achieve the state of unity between inside and outside.
“This crisis has been resolved.
"You can also teach her some ways of expression, for example, teach her how to smile, how to cry, how to be angry, how to be happy?
“Although it is difficult, as she often only gets the form but not the essence, it stands to reason that it should be able to alleviate the condition.
“The reason why she is unconscious today is because of the pain in her heart.
"The [Weeping Souls and Chaos Gods Formation] had a huge impact on her, but she didn't know how to vent the pain, so she could only take it all in. How could she not faint?
"Alliance leader, you can use your magical power to enter her heart and help her get rid of this pain, and she will wake up."
The old man's words were simple and profound, showing that he had a deep understanding of this natural scent.
After hearing this, Chu Qing suddenly understood and bowed:
"Thank you, senior."
"I just said a few true words. I don't deserve such a great gift from the leader."
He picked up the medicine box and turned to leave, but he paused and looked back at Chu Qing:
"Alliance leader, please remember that this girl's physique is extraordinary. You must not let anyone know about it... Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no peace forever."
"Yes."
Chu Qing nodded in agreement.
The old man then turned and left.
Huangfu Yixiao was about to follow, but Chu Qing called him:
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
……
……
ps: I will still update one chapter today. I went for a massage in the morning and had three acupuncture needles. This guy took the needle and stirred it in the flesh... I feel that my condition has improved, at least I don’t feel like vomiting so much... I should resume normal updates tomorrow.
I have to go again on Monday, but if the status is fine, it will not affect the update.
