Ninth Uncle Shi Shaojian
Chapter 158 The Change of Jingyun
Chapter 158 The Change of Jingyun
The idea was good, but the result was doomed, and Jing Yunzi lost again.
Panting, she broke free from Shi Shaojian's shackles, and gave him a complicated look, "Your strength has become stronger again, your magic power is strong, are you going to condense the emptiness pill?"
Shi Shaojian nodded without hiding anything.Then he took out two Yanrong spirit fruits and handed them to Jing Yunzi, saying: "Give you the last two, I don't need them anymore."
The Yanrong Spiritual Fruit is useful to monks below the Daoist level. Having said that, in fact, the effect of the Yanrong Spiritual Fruit is not so obvious after practicing to the late stage of the Master level.The two Yanrong spirit fruits could not allow Jing Yunzi to cultivate to the peak of the mage realm. To Shi Shaojian, it was like a chicken rib.
This time Jingyunzi did not refuse, and silently put away the Yanrong fruit.
"It's getting late, let's start a fire and cook."
"I'll do it." Jing Yunzi took the initiative to invite Ying, with a somewhat excited expression on her face. It was hard to imagine that not long ago, she still thought cooking was a boring and useless thing.
Especially after the grilled fish and the boiled fish soup were well received by the only two diners, I was full of satisfaction and very happy.
Looking at her busy figure, Shi Shaojian's expression was a bit strange, and his sense of her had changed obviously over time.I hated her a lot before, but after getting along with her, I found her silly and cute, insisted on the so-called "justice and responsibility", and could pay the price of her life for this, but now I think she is very naive, a very ordinary woman.
In an ordinary but fulfilling life, time always flies by, and it is another month in the blink of an eye.This "night", Shi Shaojian, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a bone-piercing chill.
"Is it cooling down?"
There is no distinction between day and night in the Blackwood Forest and the Black Sea, and there has been no obvious temperature change during this period of time. The sudden cold immediately aroused Shi Shaojian's vigilance.
"What's the matter, it's getting colder and colder." Shi Shaojian got out of bed shivering, and a Uncle Lei appeared in his palm, and the light that bloomed made the cabin as bright as day.
He saw wisps of cold air seeping through the gaps in the wooden planks, raised his hand and knocked on the cold wooden planks, and shouted, "Uncle Master, what the hell are you doing, quickly take back the cold air."
"Uncle Master?"
"Jingyunzi, did you hear that?"
"Jingyunzi, talk."
There was no movement next door, Shi Shaojian had a bad premonition, and punched the wooden board open.In an instant, a knife-like cold air hit the face, and where it affected, a thin layer of ice formed on the ground, and the soles of the shoes were actually stuck to the floor.
Shi Shaojian's face changed slightly, and he retreated a distance in a panic. He stopped when he felt that the cold was not as strong as before, and looked intently at Jing Yunzi opposite him, his pupils instantly contracted into needle eyes.
To describe a woman's good skin, one word is often used - ice muscle and jade bone. At this moment, Jing Yunzi is ice muscle and jade bone.
Or rather, she turned into ice, a beautifully contoured, lifelike ice beauty.
Only the dantian was burning with a blazing flame, and the flame turned into a vermilion bird, singing unwillingly, fighting against the extreme cold.
"The power of fire, Suzaku art!" Shi Shaojian's eyes flickered, "Her situation is not good, the power of fire is no match for this extreme cold air. If the flame is extinguished, she will completely become an iceman, but with the golden light god The curse is somewhat similar."
"Jingyunzi, can you hear me? Jingyunzi?"
Shi Shaojian ran out of the wooden house and took out two Samadhi True Fire Talismans. The yellow talismans ignited spontaneously, and when thrown into the wooden house, a raging fire rose, instantly engulfing the wooden house and Jing Yunzi.
He wasn't worried that the True Fire of Samadhi would hurt Jing Yunzi, not to mention that Jing Yunzi had practiced the Fire Spirit Curse and Suzaku Jue, and he didn't even say whether the cold energy in her body could be suppressed.
In fact, his worries were not superfluous.
The violent cold air broke out, and the raging fire stagnated, showing signs of being extinguished by the cold air.
Shi Shaojian took a breath, "What the hell is this? Although the Samadhi True Fire Talisman released is not comparable to the real Samadhi True Fire, it is also comparable to the extraordinary fire. This chill was dragged by Jing Yunzi Hold on, the overflowing cold air can also extinguish the real fire of Samadhi, it's powerful, it's really too powerful."
"The power of fire is not enough!"
Shi Shaojian rushed into the black wood forest, condensed the power of gold into a dagger, slashed and slashed, and then used the black wood on the ground to set up several firewood piles, distributed in the pattern of eight trigrams, and lit them one by one with the true fire talisman of Samadhi.
Flames that could instantly burn iron red and burn ghosts to ashes rushed towards Jing Yunzi, just to stop the cold from spreading outwards, but they couldn't help the cold in Jing Yunzi's body at all.
Shi Shaojian's heart sank, "It's still not enough, we must find something that directly enhances the power of fire to be effective..."
"There is."
His eyes lit up, he took out a stack of water-avoiding talismans from his body, pulled out the sealing talisman that sealed the red-robed fire ghost, and released the red-robed fire ghost.
The red-robed Huogui is an ugly and fierce female guild. Shi Shaojian caught her in Baofazhuang, Fengyang Town, and planned to use it when he was practicing the Fire Spirit Curse, and it just came in handy now.
Treacherous and fierce, the red-robed Huo Guifu roared and rushed towards Shi Shaojian as soon as he got free, his claws fluttered, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.
"Hmph, I don't know whether to live or die."
A dazzling thunder burst out, and a bright arc of lightning came first, hitting the red-robed Huo Gui fiercely, causing her to scatter sparks and scream miserably.
Shi Shaojian flicked his hand, the arc was like a whip, entangled the red-robed Huogui, and threw her to Jingyunzi's side, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, inject the power of fire into her body."
The red-robed Huogui was wild and unruly, how could he listen to Shi Shaojian's order, his eyes showed a fierce light, and his ghost claws grabbed Jingyunzi.
Shi Shaojian didn't stop him, and let the red-robed Huogui's claws fall on Jing Yunzi's body. In an instant, the red-robed Huogui felt that he was grasping on a thousand-year-old piece of ice, which was hard and cold.The cold air hit, and the strange body was instantly covered with a layer of frost, and the hands and claws were frozen together with Jing Yunzi.
She showed a terrified expression and yelled at Shi Shaojian, as if begging, Shi Shaojian shouted: "Give her the power of fire quickly."
In the face of real death, Gui would also be afraid. The red-robed Huo Gui hesitated slightly, and followed Shi Shaojian's instructions to continuously inject the power of fire in his body into Jing Yunzi's body.
With the intervention of external forces, the sluggish Fire Spirit Suzaku spread its wings and croaked, the flames at the dantian exploded, and a layer of water vapor floated outside Jing Yunzi's body.
"it works."
Shi Shaojian breathed a sigh of relief, and kept adding firewood to the fire to prevent the flames from going out. He also took out talisman pens, cinnabar, yellow paper, clear water and ink to draw talismans, and drew ten Samadhi real fire talismans one after another and threw them into the fire.
"Ah!" the red-robed Huo Gui yelled, begging Shi Shaojian to save her, she was about to be sucked dry, her source was exhausted, her strange body became transparent, and would be wiped out at any moment.
"Persist for a while, and it will be healed soon." Shi Shaojian said perfunctorily, he didn't care about the life and death of the red-robed Huogui.
It didn't take long for the red-robed Huogui to be wiped out, and she completed her mission. With the help of many external forces, the power of fire in Jingyunzi's body gained the upper hand and completely suppressed the cold air.
Jing Yunzi recovered his flesh and blood, his face was terribly pale, and he fell into a ball among the firewood, shivering.
"Jing Yunzi." Shi Shaojian ran over and hugged her in his arms. Even though the surrounding flames were burning, he still couldn't help shivering, as if what he was holding in his arms was not a person, but a lump of ice.
"Cold, cold..."
Jing Yunzi desperately squeezed into Shi Shaojian's arms, absorbing the heat in Shi Shaojian's body, and unconsciously murmured: "Leave me alone, go away, or you will freeze to death."
"Fool, you are about to die and you still care about other people's lives. I'm fine. I'm in good health. I won't die from the cold. Go to sleep. Just sleep and you'll be fine."
On the scorched ground, black smoke filled the air, Shi Shaojian hugged Jing Yunzi tightly, his face was covered with frost, his eyebrows and hair turned white, and his body was trembling constantly.
Jing Yunzi's consciousness is very clear, she is just cold, weak and weak, cold and needs a warm embrace, staring at the frosty face with blurred eyes, sighing faintly, "Call me a fool, you Why not a fool."
At this moment, the Black Wood Forest is like an isolated island, there are only two people on the island, they cuddle up to each other for warmth, he is her only one!
……
The tide rises and falls, and the sun rises and sets in the west. These phenomena do not exist in the Tomb of Hanba. It is empty and secluded here for thousands of years, and it remains unchanged for thousands of years. Only time passes silently.
I don't know how long it has passed, how many years, or even in the blink of an eye, Jing Yunzi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, a little confused, and then turned quickly, as if she was looking for something.
She found the target without any effort, and stared at Shi Shaojian's pale face, feeling grateful, distressed, and a little complicated beyond words.
She didn't speak, didn't disturb Shi Shaojian, she moved away the stiff arm that was hugging her, and left quietly.
Shi Shaojian, who had used his kung fu to resist the cold, suddenly felt a rush of warmth, and he couldn't help opening his eyes, just in time to see a plump and pretty face.
She was smiling, her smile was bright and bright, and the world was overshadowed by it.
Shi Shaojian was stunned for a moment, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Jing Yunzi smiled, "I cooked fish soup, you can drink it while it's hot to warm your body."
Shi Shaojian raised his hand subconsciously, and found that his arm was stiff and stiff. Just as he was about to say something, Jing Yunzi suddenly sat beside him with a metal soup bowl, scooped up the fish soup and brought it to his mouth.
"Are you really all right?"
"It's alright."
"Is your brain not frozen?"
Jing Yunzi said angrily: "Your brain is frozen, do you want to drink?"
"drink."
After taking a few sips of fish soup, Jing Yunzi's low voice came from next to his ear, "Last night...thank you!"
"Thank you, let me tell you about the coldness in your body."
Zi Jing paused, and said with a natural expression: "I don't know what it is, it was in my body when Master picked me up, and it will erupt every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"But it's not the Mid-Autumn Festival now." Shi Shaojian asked doubtfully.
"This is exactly what I can't understand, Shi Shaojian, I think there is something weird in the tomb of Hanba."
Shi Shaojian was thoughtful, "It's quite strange. The two descendants of the Jiangjiao disappeared. We were so weak last night. If they appeared, the consequences would be disastrous."
"does it worth?"
"what?"
"I beat you up and prevented you from becoming a mage in Wanfu Palace. Is such a person worth saving?"
Shi Shaojian asked: "Is it important?"
"It's not important." Jing Yunzi smiled.
"Actually, you look pretty when you smile."
"Really?" Jing Yunzi looked at Shi Shaojian with a half-smile, "Who said that he didn't like my smile when he came out of the corpse cave?"
"Who said that?"
"A jerk."
"..." Shi Shaojian said with a wry smile, "You really don't know how to chat, you will always chat to death."
Jing Yunzi smiled and said nothing.
"Is there no way to control it?"
"what?"
"The chill in your body."
"There is a way. Master will help me suppress the cold air every year, and it will be completely controlled in three years at most. By then, you will definitely not be my opponent." Jing Yunzi changed the subject: "Do you want to eat something else?"
"It's not just grilled fish."
"Then grill the fish."
"..."
Looking at Shi Shaojian's speechless expression, Jing Yunzi was in a happy mood, and was about to speak, when a sound like the howling of a wild animal came...
