Many years later, Du Ying succeeded in building the foundation and met her current Taoist companion during a trip.
After giving birth to a daughter for him, she seemed to have figured out something after being trapped in the early stage of foundation building for a long time. She no longer adhered to the realm of cultivation, but instead focused on the growth of her children first.
Her daughter's bones were excellent and she was a material for cultivation. For this reason, the couple carefully cultivated her, soaking her in the juice of spiritual grass every seven days, and supplementing it with elixirs. They spent countless spiritual stones.
In the evening, Xiao Wan'er finished her day's practice and lay down on the bed to rest. Du Ying, who had been married for many years, was by her side, but the little girl kept her eyes open and did not look sleepy at all.
"Xiao Wan'er, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Du Ying asked curiously.
"Mom, tell me a story about your practice when you were young!"
Looking at Xiao Wan'er's increasingly beautiful face, Du Ying remembered that the daughter in front of her was already in her late teens and was no longer the naughty and mischievous child she remembered.
"How come the days go by so fast..."
Du Ying sighed in her heart, which seemed to be a sigh for the past, but she put away this emotion and then said with gentle eyes:
"Then tell a story about a mother who killed a demonic monk?"
"Don't listen, don't listen! I've said this four times!"
"Then my mother was at the auction..." Before she could finish her words, Xiao Wan'er said angrily: "This again! My mother spent thirty spiritual stones to buy a spiritual grass and sold it for eight hundred spiritual stones. I’m tired of hearing this!”
"Little girl's movie!" Du Ying flicked the tip of her daughter's nose angrily and funnyly, causing the little girl to scream in pain: "I don't want to hear this, but I've heard that again. What do you want my mother to say?"
The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "I want to hear something a little more terrifying. Hasn't my mother ever experienced a narrow escape from death?"
"Of course there is..." Du Ying hesitated for a moment after hearing this. She didn't know whether she should talk about this kind of thing, but then she thought, the child would have to go through it sooner or later, so why not take this opportunity today to test it out? It's up to her to bear it.
So she added: "Then we should agree in advance. If you are afraid of having nightmares after hearing this, don't cry and call for mother." "Don't worry, mother, I am very courageous!" Xiao Wan'er promised, patting her chest. .
"That's good..." Du Ying nodded slightly, trying to recall the dangerous experiences she had committed in her mind. Perhaps she had lived a comfortable life for too long, and many unforgettable things were left in her mind. Just the next few clips.
Suddenly, I turned to Du Ying at a certain stage, and my thoughts went back to decades ago, when she explored the forgotten land as a Qi Refining monk in Sunset Valley, and finally narrowly escaped with her life in the belly of a giant turtle.
.......
The belly of the turtle is not a closed space, and the fishy and unpleasant smell wafts out from deeper places one after another.
Du Ying had just enjoyed the tempering of the soul-enhancing pool a few hours ago, and was very lucky to step onto the giant rotting turtle. After enduring two rounds of shocks, she hid here with many monks.
The vertical view of the turtle's belly is very wide. A few feet apart in front, there are more than a dozen bold cultivators exploring the path. Du Ying and her two fellow disciples are in the middle of the team.
Similar to this neither rush nor slow team, there are about four groups of three or five.
No one wants to kill people and seize treasures here, for no other reason than that it is too easy to be accidentally injured in such an environment. Besides, no one has seen any attractive spiritual objects yet, so it would be too stupid to start a war now.
Du Ying held the luminous fluorite in her left hand while looking at the rotten flesh walls that had been blasted open on both sides.
A large number of broken pieces of meat were covered with a layer of brown mucus. She concentrated her consciousness and observed it, and it seemed that something was slowly squirming inside.
A "pop" sound!
A large group of white maggots burrowed out of the flesh, struggled to free their tail segments, and fell at their feet. They kept twisting, crawling, and drilling before quickly disappearing from their sight.
Such a stomach-churning scene made Du Ying's eyelids twitch. She thought to herself: What the hell is this place? If she had known this, she might as well have avoided it in her stomach.
"Don't damage these flesh walls. What's hidden inside are all rotworms that parasitize in giant turtles. It's easier to deal with a few hundred of them. If the passage is collapsed..."
Jiang Yan was her senior brother. Before he could finish his words, there was a violent shaking from the end of the giant turtle's abdomen. The three of them were so shocked that they quickly shot out the protective spiritual energy, and their consciousness was projected into the distance crazily.
It was a group of cultivators running fast. The expressions of the three people changed when they saw this. Who knew what was going on behind them? They did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly followed the pace of the people in front of them and fled quickly.
"Hey, fellow Taoist, what's going on? What are you hiding from?!"
Du Ying headed deeper into the belly of the turtle, without forgetting to look back, and asked a monk who looked relatively honest.
"Yes... there is a beggar who killed someone! He might have come in at this time!"
"beggar?!"
Du Ying saw the frightened look on his face and guessed that this man must have some evil tricks up his sleeve.
At this moment, the third ferocious impact of the desolate giant turtle suddenly appeared.
"puff!!"
Du Ying was thrown hard against the flesh wall behind her by this sudden momentum, and immediately spurted out a large mouthful of blood uncontrollably, as did several cultivators in front of her.
The shattered flesh wall was worn out, white flowers were surging crazily, and the sound of exploding mucus filled the ears. In just a few breaths, the foot of the passage was filled with countless white maggots!
"Bang bang bang..."
Fortunately, Du Ying and others released the body-protecting spiritual energy in time, but they saw strange insects flying to death like moths flying into the flames. Du Ying endured the discomfort in her heart and threw out a dazzling red light streamer.
Suddenly there was a burst of fire, and countless maggots were slowly emitted from the feet, along with the pungent smell of burning.
However, the entire abdominal passage was too big. Even though Du Ying killed the insect swarms over and over again, there was still no way out. She anxiously shouted the names of her two fellow disciples, hoping that they could work together to break out of this place.
"Quickly retreat!!!"
Du Ying's eyes flashed, and when she took a closer look, she saw that it was her senior brother Jiang Yan who was dragging her away by her sleeves.
"Where's Junior Sister Wang?" Du Ying asked in horror. Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and did not answer her. In fact, the fact that this fellow student did not appear with Jiang Yan already foreshadowed her fate.
Not only her, but most of the monks who had previously explored the path were probably in trouble.
At this time, no one could care about the others. The two of them fought and retreated. They met at least a dozen monks on the way, all of whom were fighting hard in the sea of insects and struggling to escape.
Jiang Yan's seven orifices began to ooze blood. He took a pill that exploded his cultivation, and he escaped from death. Originally, he could leave safely alone, but with Du Ying, it was obviously difficult to survive.
"Buzz..."
In the entire abdominal passage, hundreds of red flying insects were floating sporadically on the sea of white insects, like a red fireball.
Their speed was not fast, but the moment they hit the monk, the strange insects seemed to ignite everything, including the man's clothes, bones, and skull. The screams continued to echo, and Du Ying heard My heart trembles!
"They're coming this way!!"
Jiang Yan shouted loudly, flicked his fingers several times, and fired countless sharp cold rays at the approaching flame insects.
He pushed Du Ying away and stood in front of her alone: "Your magic weapon is almost destroyed, leave quickly and leave me alone!!"
"Senior brother..." Du Ying said with a pale face.
"Let's go!!"
These two words became the final farewell between Du Ying and him.
In fact, she had known for a long time that since the day she worshiped in Sunset Valley, senior brother Jiang Yan had taken good care of her. On many occasions, the two of them discussed their spiritual practice together, traveled around the world and enjoyed the beautiful scenery together. , no one punctured the window paper.
There were more than a dozen monks who escaped with her. They were all cautious people who did not dare to risk going deep. Obviously, this personality saved their lives.
When they escaped from the abdomen again, an irresistible strong wind blew them away in an instant. Du Ying was one of them. She had no time to grab the armor on the turtle shell. The air flow swept her up and blew up the leaves. It's no different.
"The outline on the other side of the tortoise shell looks like a person..."
Du Ying seemed to see a monk holding on to the tortoise shell, but it only lasted for a moment. Moreover, the dust was flying at that time and the visibility was extremely small.
Finally, in the dark passage, she watched the giant desolate turtle disappear from sight.
...
"In this way, my mother was protected by Senior Brother Jiang Yan to the death, and she has survived until now..."
Xiao Wan'er opened her mouth in surprise. She never thought that her mother would actually experience such a life and death crisis. Wouldn't it be almost impossible for her to be born in this world?
However, she was an immature child after all, so she selectively ignored those horrific scenes, and instead said thoughtfully:
"Mom, this senior Jiang Yan seems to like you."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"He is willing to block the monster bugs and protect you for you. If he had not died, would my mother have married him?"
"No ifs, little girl."
Du Ying fondly touched her little head: "Mom will also risk her life to protect you like Senior Brother Jiang Yan."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Xiao Wan'er slowly fell asleep. Du Ying looked at her sleeping face and seemed familiar. She felt that she was looking in the mirror. She used to be as innocent and innocent as her daughter.
.......
"Senior brother, you go first, let me take the lead!!"
"Stop talking nonsense! You go first!!"
Jiang Yan shouted, and before he could recover, a flying sword pierced his neck.
.......
"Senior brother Jiang Yan, thank you for the foundation building pill material."
Du Ying said softly in a voice that only she could hear.
