Jiang Shuo felt like his body was falling continuously in the endless darkness, sometimes like falling into an ice cave, sometimes like falling into a furnace of fire. However, his body could not move at all. He could only let his body pass through the purgatory of ice and fire in turns. His body was cold. At the extreme, the blood is like a long frost-cold river. Seeing that the blood in the whole body is about to freeze into solid ice and stop flowing, it suddenly heats up again. The ice in the body melts away and begins to flow. The river continues to heat up as it roars and breaks through the solid ice. , and soon it was boiling. Just when the blood was about to boil and evaporate, it condensed again, and the cold air filled the air again.
The reincarnation of ice and fire tortured him to death, and the alternation of fire and ice made him unable to wish for death.
He thought to himself, am I dead? Could it be that we have arrived in the underworld? But then I thought about hearing the old man say that after death, people have to go to the Hall of Hell to look up the book of life and death, and then the judges of the underworld judge the case and criticize the crime, and then decide which level of hell they will go to and suffer. I have never done any evil, and I will not be tried no matter where I am, nor will I ask. Asked, he was thrown into the prison of ice and fire and suffered such pain?
Just like this, I don't know how long it took. The torment of alternating between ice and fire finally stopped temporarily. At this moment, Jiang Shuo only felt hot and dry, but this time it was far from the unbearable peak. He actually felt warm and the cold feeling was no longer there. Did not come back.
Jiang Shuo's five senses gradually became clearer. He was no longer in a chaotic hell of ice and fire. Each part of his body began to feel differently: his limbs still felt like they were buried in hot sand and couldn't stretch, but his fingers and toes could feel the touch; his eyelids felt so heavy. It was like being filled with lead and couldn't be opened, but the eyeballs were turning under the eyelids; the pain in the mouth and nose seemed to be burning, but I finally felt that I was taking a deep breath; the most unbearable thing was the severe pain on the face, as if it was being licked by flames. He finally couldn't bear the severe pain, and tried with all his strength to cover his face with his hands. But this time he successfully raised his hands and lifted them violently, but when he heard a "bang", the burning sensation on his face immediately subsided. , he reluctantly opened his eyes, only to see an overturned charcoal brazier on the ground. It had been used for a long time and was completely black. He didn't know whether it was copper or iron. The red-hot charcoal rolled down to the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with large pieces of water-polished blue. The bricks had nothing to ignite and did not cause a fire. After a while, the charcoal turned from red to gray, and the red sparks flickered a few times before turning into wisps of green smoke, which were all extinguished.
Jiang Shuo felt that he had come back from the gate of hell, and his body could feel everything in the world of the sun again. He was lying on a big bed at the moment. He didn't know how many layers of mattresses were cushioned underneath. They were very soft, and he was covered with a thick cotton. The quilt has been opened by him at this moment. The room is not very spacious. There are only doors and windows opposite the bed. The back is a flat rock wall. The left and right walls are made of gray bricks. The front doors and windows are tightly blocked with cotton curtains. In fact, I think it is a thermal pavilion with a mountain behind it. It is daytime outside the thermal pavilion at the moment, and the light is transmitted through the gaps between the cotton curtains, creating a soft and hazy feeling.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the sudden influx of sunlight made Jiang Shuo hastily close his eyes. His heart froze, and he remembered that before he passed out on the sandbank, he swallowed the inner elixir spit out by Bai Long and his body was burned and unable to move. Jiang Shuo The middle group of thieves boarded the sandbank, carried the bodies of the black and white dragons, and found that they were not dead. The little leader "Brother Chen" also poured the black dragon's inner elixir into his mouth... He should have fallen into the hands of the thieves.
In panic, he tried to open his eyes, only to see a small silhouette at the door, with a pair of symmetrical buns on his head. He squinted his eyes and slowly adapted to the sunlight, and saw that it was a little girl. He couldn't see it against the light. Although she has a clear appearance, she feels like a girl about her own age. Jiang Shuo looked out and made eye contact with her. The girl was stunned for a moment and then shouted happily: "Xun Ni, Xun Ni, he's awake..." Then he turned around, without closing the door, and left like a gust of wind.
Jiang Shuo didn't know who the "Xun Ni" she was talking about was. At this moment, the door of the room was wide open, but he saw that the outside was covered with snow. It was already the middle of winter, and the cold air from outside poured into the room, piercing his face and body. But it was indescribably beneficial, and the cold wind also made his consciousness clearer. He tried hard to recall the situation before he fell into coma, but he couldn't connect the black and white dragons and Jiangyang robbers with Nuange and the girl in front of him. As soon as he concentrated his energy, he immediately felt a splitting headache, his head was dizzy and he was about to faint. He opened his mouth wide and sucked. He breathed out, but suddenly inhaled the cool wind that poured into the room. The cold air immediately filled his chest. He coughed, and the violent movement of his chest caused a tearing pain. Only then did he remember being dragged by the black dragon. Several ribs must have been broken when he was pulled.
The cold wind kept pouring in, which just offset the heat in his body and made him feel very comfortable. However, this comfort did not last long. The cold wind seemed to awaken the dormant cold air in his body. The cold air spurted out and quickly turned into a bone-chilling cold. He wanted to pull up the corner of the quilt and put the quilt back on him, but he couldn't lift his hands at all. The cold air became stronger and stronger, as if the blood had been frozen into ice edges. The ice edges slowly flowed through the body, scratching and scratching. Everywhere he touched was painful, and the pain slowly spread throughout his body as the blood flowed.
While he was suffering, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. It turned out that the little girl had gone and returned, and this time she brought back an old woman. I guess she was the "Xun Ni" in her mouth. At this moment, Jiang Shuo's eyes had adapted to the light, but he saw that the girl was very beautiful and cute, and the flowered jacket she wore was also made of very exquisite materials. The woman who followed her had a kind face, and she seemed to be quite old, but The wrinkles are not very dense, and the clothes are more simple. They look like the young master and the old servant.
When the old woman came in and saw this, she hurriedly closed the door and said, "Why don't you close the door, little girl? This child is already dying, and ninety-nine percent of her life is gone. What should she do if she gets cold again?"
The girl pouted and said, "I saw that he was awake, and I was so excited that I just wanted to run over and tell you that I knew, so I forgot to close the door."
Xun Ni scolded: "You are the only one who is troublesome."
The girl retorted: "If I hadn't kept an eye on you all the time, you wouldn't have known he was awake now."
Xun Ni laughed angrily and said: "He will wake up naturally when he wants to wake up. If you don't come to see him, he will wake up eventually. If you hadn't often opened the door secretly to see and let the cold outside in, I'm afraid he would have woken up earlier." "
Xunyu was scolding, but her hands were not idle. She bent down to pick up the charcoal pieces scattered on the ground and put them back into the basin. When Jiang Shuo's teeth chattered with the cold, he saw that she didn't seem to be using any tools, only a pair of Meat Palm picked up the charcoal pieces. Although the charcoal pieces were no longer burning after being scattered, the charcoal would not cool down so quickly. There was still a faint glow of fire. Xun Ni didn't care at all. He picked up the charcoal pieces that were still warm while talking. After a while, The copper basin was filled again, but the white smoke from the charcoal blocks gathered together became more and more intense. Jiang Shuo often burned the charcoal basin at home, knowing that the charcoal fire needed to be ignited. Once it went out, it would be difficult to rekindle it.
But I heard the girl say: "Xun Ni, let me try, let me try."
Xun Ni said: "I will only try it once for you. The child is already so cold that you can hear the rattling of teeth through the door."
But the girl didn't say anything. She stood on a horse and pushed out slowly with her left hand on her hips and her right hand. The white smoke on the charcoal suddenly became large, as if something was igniting the fire. However, although the smoke was strong, it did not burn. Xun Ni still Without saying anything, the girl hurriedly said to her: "It doesn't count this time. I was in a hurry just now and didn't adjust my breath well." Without waiting for Xun Ni to reply, the girl huffed and took two deep breaths, and then It was pushed out with a palm. This time, two charcoal blocks seemed to flash red, but they still did not ignite. The girl became even more anxious and pushed out with both palms. Jiang Shuo felt as if the wind was blowing on his face this time. The force was very strong, but the effect was not as good as the previous two times. There was less smoke on the charcoal basin. It seems to be completely extinguished.
Xun Ni said to the girl: "Okay, okay, how can you do it if you are so impatient?"
After saying this, he pushed the girl aside and pushed lightly with one hand. The charcoal in the copper basin suddenly glowed red, dispersing the white smoke, and the entire charcoal basin suddenly rekindled. Jiang Shuo was so surprised that he blurted out: "Hey, can you do magic?"
The grandfather and grandson were startled when they heard this, and both looked at him. The girl said happily: "Ah, you can speak now, how can you recover so quickly?"
Xun Ni said, "Hurry up and invite your father over."
The girl happily opened the door and went out but forgot to close the door. Xun Ni said anxiously: "Close the door, close the door."
The girl had already run a few steps, then hurriedly turned back and yanked from the outside, slamming the door shut with a loud "bang".
Xun Ni moved the charcoal brazier closer, helped Jiang Shuo cover himself with the quilt again and tucked the corners of the quilt back. Jiang Shuo immediately felt a lot warmer. He looked at the burning charcoal basin and was still puzzled. He asked again: "My dear, do you know magic? How can you light a fire from a distance?"
Xun Ni replied: "It's not a trick, it's just a little bit of kung fu."
Jiang Shuo said: "What kind of kung fu is so magical? My dear, can you teach me?"
Xun Ni was stunned for a moment, thinking that the child was so seriously injured. Although the master was kind-hearted and tried his best to save him, the situation was still in danger. Although he woke up this time, he would only be able to regain his senses. No matter what he asked for at this moment, I would agree to it. He sighed and said casually: "Okay, okay. When you get better, I will teach you."
Jiang Shuo said happily: "Thank you so much, I will get better soon."
After saying a few words, Jiang Shuo suddenly felt a sudden chill in his body. Although the charcoal fire was strong, it seemed that what was coming out was not hot air, but a trace of cold air. Jiang Shuo's teeth began to tremble uncontrollably. Xun Ni saw this Jiang Shuo hurriedly held his little hand with his right hand. Jiang Shuo felt that the warmth in his palm made his whole body feel less cold. He wanted to say a word of thanks, but his whole face was numb and he couldn't open his mouth. He could only look at Xun Ni gratefully.
Although Xun Ni was born as a girl, she had worked hard on pure Yang internal energy since she was a child. She was still a virgin. She thought that her internal energy was pure and could suppress the cold poison in a child's body. Unexpectedly, the internal energy was transferred into Jiang Shuo's body. , just like a spoonful of boiling soup poured into a bottomless cold pool, it disappeared without a trace. Just as she was about to activate her inner strength again, the cold pool suddenly disappeared without a trace, and then a burst of hot Qi spurted out.
