The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 748: Dilemma and Style

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"

Inside the cold and lonely cave, which is about ten feet deep.

There was a short and heavy cough.

The sound of old bellows can be vaguely heard.

It was like a piece of air was torn apart brutally and slowly, accompanied by sobbing and low humming.

Jiang Yichen sat cross-legged against the wall, his chest heaving violently, and his body trembling forward as he leaned forward.

A fist away, Leng Mei, who was also sleeping cross-legged against the wall, had not yet fallen asleep deeply. With her eyes slightly opened, she leaned to the right, her left hand resting on Jiang Yichen's shoulder, and her right hand already inserted into the gap between his back and the rock wall.

With the palm of his hand, he felt the meridians of his lungs and organs behind his back, and used his true energy to transport his inner breath, helping him breathe in and out comfortably.

Jiang Yichen hadn't even taken a breath yet, but he patted the back of Leng Mei's left hand in an "unkind and disrespectful" manner, and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just that the weather is really depressing."

Under the sparse moonlight, Leng Mei frowned and said: "You are trying to be brave. This weather is not good for anyone. If you feel uncomfortable, just cough it up and clear out the phlegm. It is better than having it stuck in the chest and abdomen." Just suffer.”

Jiang Yichen was still looking for reasons and excuses, so he explained: "Your sleep has been much worse than mine these days, and I don't want to drag you down too."

Feeling that Jiang Yichen's breath had softened a lot, Leng Mei withdrew her right hand, leaned her body into Jiang Yichen's arms, leaned her pillow on his shoulder, adjusted herself to a comfortable position, closed her eyes and said softly: "Can't you sleep? Okay, I'm worried too, how can I have a good rest? You have to get better quickly so that I can sleep peacefully."

Jiang Yichen turned his head and kissed the forehead of the person in his arms, then his eyebrows wrinkled into a line.

Leng Mei noticed that the man on the pillow was hesitant and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yichen hesitated for a while and then said, "You can still smell a bit of a sour smell."

Although Leng Mei felt embarrassed and annoyed, she smiled and lightly punched Jiang Yichen's chest.

Jiang Yichen was going to pretend to cough, but he couldn't stop coughing in this stuffy weather.

Leng Mei coughed out of her arms, coughed for dozens of breaths, coughed up several mouthfuls of thick phlegm, and coughed up some bloodshot blood before she regained her composure.

Jiang Yichen pressed his back against the wall with Leng Mei's worry, and took him into his arms again, positioning himself to act as a good bed.

"It's a lot easier to cough up. I've coughed enough today. It's okay. Go to sleep."

This comfort was quite perfunctory. How could Leng Mei obey the words and fall asleep peacefully?

"Cough, cough, you will get used to it after coughing for a long time. Maybe you will have to get used to it more in the future."

Sensing the worry of the person in his arms, Jiang Yichen could only continue talking and laughing.

But Leng Mei made up her mind and said: "Yinniang can basically cure your illness, and so can I."

Jiang Yichen said calmly: "Okay, I'll leave it to you for the rest of my life."

Leng Mei was not drunk by Jiang Yichen's words of love, and said with a frown: "I just have to control your situation before leaving the mountain. This Niushan Mountain is nothing but big. After staying there for more than ten days, I haven't seen a single person." Two herbs..."

Jiang Yichen said: "Well, I'm also thinking of other ways."

After hearing this, Leng Mei knew that Jiang Yichen must have a solution, and asked, "Is there any medicine that I brought that can cure cough and asthma?"

Jiang Yichen said: "I really didn't expect that I would be acclimatized here and my old disease would relapse, but there is a medicine that may work if I try it."

拼？

What kind of medicine is not taken, but also requires a spelling?

Leng Mei immediately understood what Jiang Yichen meant, and subconsciously grabbed Weihan's hand and said, "Forcibly practice the "Zixia Magic Skill"? How confident are you?"

Jiang Yichen affirmed: "With Du Erdan, the problem is not big. The key lies in how to complement the other three gates after it is completed without conflicting with each other and affecting the balance of the inner essence."

"Auntie, do you already have an idea for the method of merging water and fire?"

The aunt Leng Mei mentioned was naturally the aunt of the Huo family whom Jiang Yichen recognized.

Practicing the "Purple Cloud Magic Art" and maintaining the balance of internal energy are not the same thing.

The difficulty of the former can be overcome by the external force of Du'erdan, and the role of Du'erdan is only to prevent practitioners from losing control and going crazy when practicing two internal skills with mutually incompatible attributes.

As for the latter, it all depends on personal understanding and luck. Jiang Yichen obviously didn't have much confidence and only said: "I should be able to give it a try."

Regardless of the current situation, or the state after completing the "Purple Cloud Magic Skill" but failing to balance the inner strength, for Jiang Yichen, half of his martial arts is wasted. At this time, Leng Mei could only support the opponent freely and said: " OK, at worst, I’ll take you back.”

"In this way, then~" Jiang Yichen also thought of inappropriate images in his mind for some reason, and said dishonestly, "Should I hope that it will happen or not?"

Hearing Jiang Yichen's long pronunciation and sudden change of style, Leng Mei couldn't help rolling her eyes and mockingly said: "I haven't eaten much oil and water these days, how can my mouth be so greasy? Hey! Don't laugh out loud, wait. I’ll keep coughing!”

"Hehe, the more we chat, the more excited we become. It seems like we won't be able to sleep for a while."

"Well, if we're tired from chatting, maybe we can sleep soundly."

In the middle of the night, a young man and woman dressed in slovenly attire are in a difficult situation in a foreign land, but they are relaxed physically and mentally, as if they are cuddling with each other on their own bed and chatting.

This slightly weird scene reveals a tenderness that cannot be concealed.

If the senior officials of Wala Zhongting saw it, they would definitely vomit three liters of blood and have trouble sleeping and eating.

If the Oara army besieging Niushan and Yezi Lake were to see it, they would definitely be furious and furious.

And if the Wala people who were sacrificed in the first-line canyon knew about it, their souls would be haunted for three years and they would die with their eyes open!

Thirteen days ago, it was this man and woman who penetrated the Twelve Miles Canyon where a thousand troops were stored, and then disappeared without a trace.

Thousands of Wala people are left with unresolved old grievances and new ones, which can be said to be pouring hatred upon hatred and adding resentment upon grievance.

In fact, after Lingxiaodu and Nanwangcheng slapped the Wala people twice in the face, making the Wala people lose face, the Wala people no longer dared to despise Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen. Instead, they spared no effort in investing manpower and material resources to prepare for them.

This time he received another slap in the face. Under the severe winter, the Wala people's cheeks were undoubtedly burning with pain!

As for Leng and Jiang, although they crossed the line of fire and escaped in an incredible way, thousands of soldiers were not dead objects after all. The trauma they suffered was not necessarily more severe than that on the iron rope of the Sky Crossing, but Even if I don't have ten days and a half, I won't be able to take good care of myself.

But how could the angry and resentful Walas allow the evil couple to recover from their injuries?

In addition to using five hundred soldiers to clean up the corpses buried in the first-line canyon, a full two thousand soldiers searched Niushan and Yezihu day and night for ten days, almost turning the entire mountain and the entire lake upside down. , but failed to discover the whereabouts of Leng and Jiang!

The two of them seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!

Ninety percent of all the Oara soldiers who participated in the search initially believed that the two men were hiding in the lake and mountains.

Ten days later, only 10% of them still persisted. The others all believed that the couple had taken advantage of the darkness to escape thousands of miles away along the lake as early as the night they broke through the canyon.

There are even more speculations that the two men may have died of serious injuries, or may have died from excessive blood loss. While they were searching mountains and lakes, they were eaten dry by birds or fish!

You can imagine how hard Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen spent these ten days playing hide and seek with more than 2,000 Wala people.

The wounds on both of them could only be temporarily frozen with Frost and Snow Qi to avoid leaving blood stains.

The two of them could not rest at the same time, and at least one of them had to be alert at all times to avoid the overwhelming search of the Kaiwala people in time, and to erase the traces of their stay before leaving.

The two of them live in no fixed place, sometimes in a cave surrounded by walls somewhere in the middle of Niushan Mountain, sometimes by a lakeside mound somewhere in Yezi Lake, sometimes in an eagle's nest on a hundred-foot cliff at the intersection of the mountain and lake.

There were no jackals, bears, or dogs in the mountains. Fortunately, there were sporadic wild rats and rabbits. Otherwise, except for the fish swimming in the lake and the hawks and birds that had no eyes to bump into, the two of them would have had nothing to eat, and they would have been hungry.

In addition, the two of them had to be even more careful when making fires to keep warm, boiling water, and grilling meat. They also had to restrain their murderous intentions towards the Wara people who were so close. No matter what they did, they had to make the Wara people believe that they no longer existed in the mountain lake. They wanted to avoid alerting the enemy and provoking more murderous Wala people in the future, hoping that the other side would withdraw their troops from this place as soon as possible.

Ten days could not completely wear out the patience of all the Wala people, but the southern expedition was not over yet, and it was impossible for more than 2,000 people to surround the two of them indefinitely, so they could only make a choice.

The Wara people were afraid that their supplies would become life supplies for the two of them, so they specially set up two temporary camps a hundred miles away from Niushan and Yezihu, respectively, with 300 men left in each. They were divided into three groups every day to patrol between the two camps and continue. A search mission among mountains and lakes.

With an injured body, no guarantee of food and drink, his clothes were torn and disheveled, he could not keep out the cold, and there was no way to recuperate. He even worked hard to hide from the Wala people for ten days, and Leng Mei could barely hold on. Jiang Yichen's body finally collapsed from exhaustion.

Jiang Yichen was not seriously ill and had a fever that made him unconscious or collapsed on the ground unable to move.

But the tuberculosis recurred, and he began to wheeze and cough again. Before the two became a married couple, Leng Mei knew the origin of Jiang Yichen's disease.

He was left alone when he was still a baby, and he followed the old village chief to escape through wind and rain.

At the most vulnerable stage of his life, little Jiang Yichen, who did not receive adequate care, became ill from a chronic cough.

It's not a congenital deficiency, but it has laid the foundation for acquired diseases.

It wasn't until I met Huo Yinniang on Xishan Island that after more than ten years of care, conditioning and training, I suppressed the disease and easily stopped getting sick.

Jiang Yichen went out to the island to practice, and accidentally obtained the "Frost and Snow Qi". He was able to use this special internal power to find out the deficiencies and make up for them, and he also had the possibility to further his martial arts practice.

"Pointing Points and Cutting the Pulse Heart Method", "Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poison Techniques", "Yin Feng Technique" and "Sitting without Forms and Forgetting the Mind Technique" are all beneficial to filling the sea of ​​qi and making up for the deficiencies, and also taught Jiang Yichen to step into the ranks of top masters step by step.

But making up is not replacement after all.

The damage between Jiang Yichen's lungs and trachea always exists.

Just like the problem with the pseudo-dantian, even if there are three feet of ice and snow to act as a buffer and protector, if too much external force is poured in and cannot be released, it will explode and damage the body.

Although the problem that occurred this time was not that serious, it was caused by overwork and exhaustion after the battle at Lingxiao Crossing more than a month ago, and it eventually affected his bones.

Coupled with the cold weather and the continuous rain and snow, most of the tiled atrium was stuffy and breathless.

Jiang Yichen, who was already exhausted, could hardly breathe smoothly, and this cough brought out his old problem.

Leng Mei thought to herself that if it weren't for this illness, Jiang Yichen might have become a top master and become even more powerful.

However, without this disease, Jiang Yichen might not have such a tough and durable mind, and would be able to match his own stinky temperament.

Thinking of the word "stinky", Leng Mei couldn't help but sniff hard, and sure enough, she smelled some sour smell.

I don’t know if it belongs to this stinky man, or to me, or maybe they both stink together?

Unfortunately, the two of them finally found an opportunity to freshen up after confirming that most of the Oara army had withdrawn two days ago.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd still be sticky, fishy, ​​and smelly even now.

It’s just that the conditions are limited and the work is in a hurry. The stagnant water of the inner lake cannot fully wash the clothes, and the odor will inevitably remain.

No matter what, I feel much more comfortable than the state I was in a few days ago.

Why do you feel so uncomfortable after being said like this?

Feeling the "restlessness" of the person in his arms, Jiang Yichen turned his head to see what was going on.

Just in time to meet Leng Mei's face that turned sideways.

Their eyes met, less than a foot apart. Even though the light was dim, the two of them, who had long since adapted to the light in the cave, could see every subtle detail of each other's faces clearly.

Jiang Yichen's first impression was that Leng Meiqing had lost a lot of weight.

The broken hair that was forced to be trimmed after surviving the attack of swords, guns and axes still could not affect her beautiful face.

If the button is covered with a floral cloth scarf, it will definitely have a different charm.

Especially the eyes under the willow eyebrows connected by a line of dust are still so attractive.

It's just that his face and hair look a bit sallow.

Leng Mei saw at first glance that Jiang Yichen's head looked like a bird's nest made by a confused mother and father.

Then there was the other person's slender eyebrows and his chin that was even sharper and thinner than his own.

Fortunately, the distance is close enough, and the eyes are open normally, not squinted, and not so dull.

The two held each other's faces almost at the same time, wiping away the dust between their respective brows, and then felt the rough and partially scarred bumps and bumps on their respective faces scraped by the cold wind in their palms.

"So cold."

Leng Mei shivered and had no intention of escaping from Jiang Yichen's palm.

Jiang Yichen couldn't bear to freeze the opponent's face, so he slid his hands down to the opponent's waist and pressed his face against it.

Their foreheads were touching, their noses were touching their noses, and the tips of their lips were almost touching their lips.

It is actually very difficult to talk like this, but at this time the two people want to talk close to each other and breathe each other's breath.

Leng Mei still held Jiang Yichen's face and said, "Is my face as yellow and black as yours, and a little red from the cold?"

Jiang Yichen shook his head slightly and said, "They say women are made of water. Your face is indeed more resistant to freezing. It's just a little darker and a little yellow, and your hair is also a little yellow."

Leng Mei pouted and said sadly: "I will eventually turn into a yellow-faced woman in the future. Is it acceptable to be like this, or to be older and yellower?"

Jiang Yichen also pouted, and met Leng Mei's lips. They separated after a long while and said: "If you don't dislike me, how dare I not accept you? Even if you dislike me, I'm afraid I will still beg you for nothing." ”

"It's a deal!" Leng Mei was very pleased with what he said. She held Jiang Yichen's face in her hands and rubbed his cheeks with great affection. "It took a lot of effort to grow two pieces of meat and look much better. Now I'm thinner." It’s going to be like an ice pick.”

Jiang Yichen retracted his body slightly, then raised his chin and gently pressed it against the other person's nose.

Leng Mei quickly straightened the face of this naughty man, held his chin with one hand and looked at him.

"Fortunately, I shaved you the day before yesterday, otherwise even if you didn't get pierced by your ice pick, you would still be stung by the stubble."

Jiang Yichen said flatteringly: "Mei'er is wise."

Leng Mei became more and more dissatisfied as she watched, and said, "You know, I started to learn how to raise pigs in Yin Yang Valley."

Jiang Yichen couldn't understand what this meant for a moment.

Then I heard Leng Mei giggle and say: "So, I want to raise you to be white and fat, at least your face will be as plump and naive as Ah Bai!"

Jiang Yichen finally remembered Ah Bai who was confused about what he was doing in the valley, so he laughed and said, "Okay!"

Leng Mei patted Jiang Yichen's face with both hands at the same time and said, "How long do you plan to stay here?"

Understanding that Leng Mei was asking how long he would practice the "Zixia Magic Skill" here, Jiang Yichen said: "A month and a half."

Jiang Yichen knew very well that with his current physical condition, of course he couldn't practice right away. He would need to rest for a few days and make proper arrangements for food and clothing before he could start practicing.

Secondly, the effect of Duer Dan is one month. You must practice the "Zixia Divine Art" to the middle level within this month, otherwise it will be useless.

After the cultivation is completed, the problem of the harmonious operation of the internal energy is solved. If there is no progress in about ten days, it will be in vain to continue to stay.

Leng Mei also calculated silently for a while, and what she thought was pretty much the same, she said, "Then let's see what I can cultivate in you in this month and a half."

Jiang Yichen said: "Then let's wait and see?"

Leng Mei put her forehead against Jiang Yichen's again and said with a smile: "You are the protagonist! You can't just watch, you have to cooperate with me! I will become a fisherwoman tomorrow to ensure the supply of two fish every day."

Jiang Yichen cooperated: "Then I will become a fisherman who sharpens fishing spears and weaves fishing nets. I am afraid that the fish in this leaf lake overhear what you are saying and will not show their faces again from tomorrow."

Leng Mei said confidently: "It doesn't matter, I can even jump into the water and catch it with my bare hands. Fortunately, this is a saltwater lake, otherwise without the ingredients, the grilled fish would lose some flavor."

Jiang Yichen interrupted: "Nutrition and taste are like fish and bear's paws, it's always difficult to have both."

Leng Mei said displeasedly: "Don't show off, it will be delicious when the time comes!"
