Xiaoman huddled in a corner of the ice crevice, crying like pear blossoms and rain, but his heart was extremely calm.
She just looks like a mountain girl, but in fact, she has mastered some basic concepts during her six years of study in the Taoist Academy. At least she will not look at what is happening in front of her with a mortal's perspective. She already has a hint of a cultivator.
perspective, this is crucial.
But she was indeed unable to feel the pulse of Qi, which gave the monks who captured her the illusion that she was an out-and-out ordinary mortal. Of course, she should use ordinary mortal methods against ordinary mortals, so there was no need to be too careful.
She was just thrown ten feet away from the monk, without being tied up or having her acupuncture points made. In such cold weather, the acupuncture points could not be controlled. For mortals without physical conditions, the acupuncture points would not allow the blood to flow.
If it was smooth, they wouldn't even survive for an hour before being frozen to death.
She was warned to stay within sight, which was enough. To a mortal, the Golden Elixir monk was a god.
Xiaoman knew that she couldn't do anything except show fear. She knew the monk's ability very well. He was not a species at all, unless the monk himself changed in some way?
The timid observation perfectly showed the mentality of a mortal who is scared, helpless and wants to escape, but she still has judgment in her heart.
This person was not a Sword Pulse cultivator, not only in what he wore, but also in what he did; the Sword Cultivators were very caring about the mountain people near Dushan and would not treat her like this.
Recently, a large number of cultivators have come to Dushan. I heard that it was going to be a conference or an inauguration ceremony for the leader of the sect. So this person's surprising performance also meant something. Although she couldn't guess, she was sure
It's not a good thing, otherwise there would be no need to bend in the ice crevices, looking like you were afraid of being discovered.
Her first instinct was to notify Jianmai, but she couldn't do it. She didn't have the messenger talisman, and she couldn't run away. Even if she was anxious, she couldn't change anything. She could only wait and wait for the worst.
When she was studying in the Taoist Hall, all the teachers praised her for her good attitude and that she was a promising swordsman, but her attitude could not solve everything, and it was meaningless if she could not sense Qi.
She kept moving and stamping her feet to keep her body warm. Even if she adapted to the environment, there was no guarantee that she could last more than three hours in the wild in such weather, unless the monk could provide her with some way to keep warm.
.
But this monk didn't.
She had also heard a lot about the relationship between cultivators and mortals in the world of cultivation. She knew that generally monks were unwilling to have mortal lives on their hands, as it would be detrimental to their practice.
But this Taoist turned a blind eye to her life and death, with a completely resigned attitude. This forced her to consider the reason behind it?
It was really too cold, and for the sake of testing, she quietly slipped away along the ice crevice, but soon, a huge force pulled her back, and she fell hard to her original position.
"If you run away again, I will kill you!" came the Taoist's cold voice.
Xiaoman cried softly, "I will freeze to death..."
The Taoist closed his eyes and said nothing, without any reaction; so Xiaoman understood why. The Taoist must be afraid that after providing her with a heating device, his spiritual fluctuations would attract outside attention.
She was really in danger now. She couldn't run away, no message could be sent, and it was useless to scream into the deep crevices of the ice. With her limited abilities, she really couldn't think of any good way to solve the predicament at hand.
Is it possible that the fish will die and the net will be broken? But the problem is the current strength comparison between the two sides. Even if the fish die, the net will not be broken.
But she won't just accept her fate. Even if it means death, she will fight to the death, even if it's just an attitude! This man doesn't care about her life or death at all. The reason why he let her freeze to death may be because it would be less harmful than killing her directly.
cause and effect?
Looking at the Taoist again, she could no longer suppress the hatred in her heart, and the Taoist also trembled under her glare.
Of course, this is not because she has developed the magical power of vision, but...this guy has a problem with himself now?
Suppressing his racing heart, Xiao Man observed carefully... The Taoist was indeed shaking, and the shaking was getting worse, and his facial expression became ferocious, as if he was enduring great pain.
He held a stone tire in his hand, which he held tightly and was shaking badly. Several times the stone tire almost fell off, but he caught it again and repeated the action.
Xiaoman's heart was pounding, but she did not choose to run away, but bravely took a few steps forward; this is what her teacher often praised her for, this woman has a natural adventurous spirit.
Could it be that the Taoist was deliberately pretending and then tempting her to make mistakes? She immediately ruled out this possibility. With the huge difference in strength between them, there was no need to go to such trouble or even think about it to deal with a mortal like her.
Then there must be some real trouble, otherwise this person wouldn't be hiding here for no reason? There must be something unspeakable!
With a plan in mind, she knew that now was the moment to decide her fate. It would be easiest and probably the safest to turn around and run away, but then what? After she climbed out of the ice crevice and ran dozens of miles of mountain roads, with her
The current physical strength needs at least one or two days, will there be any delay?
Although they were not able to join Jianmai, they, the Dushan natives, had a good impression of Jianmai. They never bullied them, but took care of them everywhere and even sent them a lot of daily necessities during the holidays.
The mountain people are all straightforward and pay attention to repaying kindness, but how can they usually repay these cultivators flying around?
Now may be an opportunity!
She took a few steps forward and was within reach of the Taoist. The Taoist still didn't respond and kept shaking. Now, Xiaoman was finally convinced that she could do something!
No monk would tolerate others being so close. The Taoist's lack of reaction shows that he has too much time to take care of himself!
She did not use the wooden stick in her hand, nor did she want to use the short blade at her waist, because the master told them in the school that there are people with abnormal body structures of cultivators, and it is impossible for those mortal methods to cause any harm to them.
Even if it's a sharp knife, you can't hurt it.
She kept this in mind.
So what to do?
A simple truth is that what the other party cares about is his weakness, even if it means nothing to mortals?
This Taoist is in indescribable pain all over his body, but he is still holding on to the stone...
Xiaoman was heartbroken and walked forward. Taking advantage of the Taoist's unstable grip, he dragged Shi Ti back...
When the Taoist lost his stone body, he let out an earth-shattering cry, and then his body visible to the naked eye shattered into a ball of dust, leaving only bits and pieces on the ground;
Xiaoman himself was also captured by the power contained in the stone fetus, as if his body was being electrified. Now he was not cold anymore, but still very hot.
She couldn't describe this process, and she didn't know what exactly happened. She only knew that when she came to her senses, the Taoist had turned into ashes, but her physical condition was extremely good, and she was still clutching the stone in her hand.
She was not greedy to pick up the broken pieces. She was afraid of causing trouble, so she just picked up the stone tire on her back and ran towards the pendant rope quickly.
She was going to inform the leader of the eldest brother, hoping it would not delay anything.
