Chapter 5: Forging the body with fire in the furnace
The white clouds are lingering, the blue sky is clear, the mountains are towering, and the pines are rustling in the wind. Ji Kang is sitting cross-legged on a rock protruding from the top of the cliff, waving his five strings, and the sound of the piano is like a string of thin and cool raindrops, along the hundreds of feet of strange and dangerous cliffs.
Falling down one after another.
At the bottom of the cliff is a deep pool with no bottom. A woman in green is lying on her side on the water as clear as a mirror, with her elbows supporting her chin, her eyes lowered, her long and thick eyelashes trembling, like a pair of green emeralds perched on the water.
Butterfly.
The sound of the piano echoed and the song ended. Ji Kang turned his head and looked at the woman in the deep pool a hundred feet below.
"Qiu Yu, the ancient road, Li Ren, Lone Goose... I probably only heard these." The woman in green thought for a moment and said. Her voice was slightly hoarse, revealing a gentle charm, like the rustling swaying of bamboo leaves.
Sound.
Ji Kang was silent for a while and said: "Senior is very clever, I only played these."
The woman in green raised her head and smiled. She had beautiful dark blue lines on both sides of her cheeks. Her eyes were blue, her eyebrows were blue, and her smile was bright and transparent, like the cool breeze blowing through the bamboo forest. "
This piece of music is too lonely, and the sadness is too much. It needs to be restrained. Does that young swordsman genius you highly admire, remind you of Jiang Yan again?"
Ji Kang smiled bitterly: "Although the music of the piano is about sadness but not sadness, people are not grass and trees. How can we control it with restraint? Why don't I change it to a more cheerful song? What do you want to hear, senior?"
The woman in green swayed her naked, white and slender feet gently, causing soft ripples on the water: "You really do your best."
"Senior and I have made an agreement for a long time: Senior will allow us to live happily here, and we will receive many rare treasures as we ask for them. Ji Kang will play the piano for senior to entertain him, and he will give me a small reward. How can we not do our best?"
"You can always listen to the moving strings of the world's best guqin master, so what does it mean to have a few common things? It's you. Every time there is a young talent in the Jin Dynasty, you are always introduced to the bamboo forest and given opportunities. After working so hard, you are willing to make wedding clothes for others.
, why bother?"
"Senior, we are born as spiritual beings. One person and one clan can live without worries. Even though the name of the Bahuang Merchant Group is resounding all over the world and its business is spread all over the world, it is just a game in your life." Ji Kang moved his fingers on the strings of the piano.
He made an excited sound of cong cong, "But Ji Kang is a son of an aristocratic family, a Taoist disciple, a minister of the Jin Dynasty, and a member of the human race. What I am asking for, my predecessors will not understand."
The woman in Tsing Yi spread her sleeves far away, and the 100-foot cliff suddenly swayed, sinking inch by inch, all the way to the edge of the deep pool. She chuckled to Ji Kang: "Speaking of which, I am a little envious of your concerns, but I don't know.
What a feeling that is. Come, let us take a look, how are the conditions of the juniors you are concerned about?"
Following her magnetic laughter, colorful caves appeared in the void around the pool, like endless bamboo tubes, surrounded by stars holding the moon.
The figures of Zhikarizhen, Xie Xuan and others appeared in one of the caves.
"Boom!" Outside the iron furnace, the one-eyed man suddenly pulled the bellows, and the scorching flames swelled up, steaming up, and sparks splashed out in the furnace.
"Ouch... I'm so hot! Ahem... Damn it!" Xie Xuan closed his eyes tightly, and the thick smoke filled his mouth and nose. He couldn't help coughing and cursing. Although his skin and flesh turned into hard iron, his internal organs remained the same.
I feel hot and have throbbing pain.
He couldn't hear other people's voices, so he couldn't help being surprised and surprised. He opened his eyes slightly, just in time to catch the contemptuous look that Mengmeng looked at him.
Is this young master despised by a little monkey spirit? Xie Xuan was stunned. Through the moving flames and thick smoke, he realized that Xie Yongxu and Yuan An were nearby, leaning against the red furnace wall, quietly
The ground was silent. Even the monkey spirit remained calm, looking around boredly and waving its slender tail.
Xie Xuan's face was filled with embarrassment, and he quickly closed his eyes, pretending that he couldn't see the cute little girl. The bellows "whispered" and the temperature in the furnace increased rapidly, and the flames turned into a bright incandescent color, burning the skin violently.<
/p>
Xie Xuan gritted his teeth, trembling with pain, and his insides seemed to melt into molten iron. He couldn't hear Yuan An's pain, so he had to bite the bullet and hold on, feeling anxious for a moment. Isn't this kid Yuan An in pain? Why does it hurt?
Why don't you scream? Why don't you scream!
Zhikari closed his eyes, and the bright firelight was still flickering in his eyes. The tongue of fire greedily licked his whole body, like a sharp razor, over and over again...
The stinging pain reminded him of Zhiye, and the year he left. He clenched his little hand tightly, shook it, and broke the phalanges forcefully, "click-click-" one by one. "What if?"
If you can’t even bear this little pain, then give up on the Zhi clan and the mission of your ancestors!”
At that time, his head was covered with cold sweat and he remained silent, like a young animal bound by iron chains. His body was covered with bruises, but his hair was still standing on end and his fangs were still baring a cold light.
The flames surged and undulated, and the furnace was like a pot of boiling soup. Xie Yongxu beside him let out a slight gasp. Zhi Qingzhen lowered his head silently, with a sad smile on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, it’s Zhino who can’t hold on.
Failure to see a mission of hope will only lead to despair.
The year Zhiye died, he got the relief he wanted. But his son had to continue to hold on.
But he also wants to cry out in pain!
Zhikari tried his best to open his eyes. Compared with the dazzling flames, the ashes after burning are called despair. He had seen such dim ashes in the eyes of Zhiye, Ba Lang, Zhao Dieniang, and Dongxue.

In the scorching firelight, a furry little paw stretched out and gently held his hand.
The young man's heart suddenly calmed down.
Xiao Anzi, stop fucking holding back and scream! Xie Xuan grimaced in pain and was about to cry without tears. He struggled to keep silent. Suddenly, a long and thick fire tongs reached into the furnace and clamped Xie Xuan's teeth.
Yong Xu, pulled it out and put it on the anvil. The one-eyed man swung the big hammer, "Bang!" and hit Xie Yong Xu hard. Sparks flew out, and a trace of turbid smoke floated out. Xie Yong Xu couldn't help but let out a low groan.
.
"I told you thieves to steal my skirt! I should be beaten, I should be beaten!" The Cyclops roared happily while hammering the iron.
On the deep pool, the woman in green clothes smiled: "Although they suffered a little, they can refine their bodies, forge out the impurities in the blood and flesh, and purify the essence in their bodies. Together with their sea of consciousness, they will also be able to remove the impurities and retain the essence.
I have benefited a lot." She looked away, covered her mouth with her delicate hand, and yawned lazily.
"Thank you, senior, for your help." Ji Kang said happily, "It's still early, why don't I play my best Guangling San for senior?"
The woman in Tsing Yi's eyes wandered: "I want to listen to a piece of music that will make me care about you from now on. Can you do it?"
Ji Kang was slightly startled.
"Even if you are an immortal on the harp, there are some songs you can't play." The woman in green sighed softly, flicked her sleeves, and the caves in the sky disappeared one after another.
