Xia Shang had never been as weak as he was now. It was difficult to open his eyes. His thoughts were in a mess. Many doubts were entangled and he didn't know what to think about first. But after hearing the words of the woman in his ear, he still tried his best to see into the dim light.
in the face.
The people around him seemed to understand what Xia Shang meant and moved closer. Only then did Xia Shang vaguely see a woman, a woman in her thirties or forties. It wasn't that she looked older, it was just her eyes and posture.
, has a charm that young women do not have, elegant and calm, like a rose that is in full bloom but not exposed, the fragrance is light, the beauty is gorgeous, the smile is a little charming, but not coquettish, just like Xia Shang
The most beautiful appearance of a mature woman imaginable.
But this beautiful and mature face made Xia Shang frown. This was not the Yue Haitang he remembered, but a strange person...but...not a complete stranger. From the look in her eyes, it seemed
I can find a trace of the moon begonia...
What is going on? Is this the original appearance of Yue Haitang? Is this really related to the kung fu she has practiced?
Xia Shang had made many assumptions before, but when they met, he still couldn't stop countless questions from flooding his mind.
"Don't talk, and don't think too much. I will explain all your questions to you one by one later. Your situation is not optimistic, and further deterioration of the injury may be life-threatening." The woman beside her said softly, smiling and holding Xia Shang's hand.
.
This woman's hands are very warm and thin. She seems to have never experienced the smell of Yue Haitang's body seriously in her memory. This should be the most gratifying thing now.
But what he just said also shocked Xia Shang. His injuries were far more serious than he imagined. The most serious one was the poison he developed. Xia Shang had already thought before that there were not enough antidote materials here. He wanted to
It is almost impossible to recover. Therefore, Xia Shang's hope is to rely on his own physical support to return home to Suzhou and then detoxify himself.
The current situation does not allow Xia Shang to do this at all. Now that he is on the verge of life and death, is it really the end of the game this time?
Thinking about it, Xia Shang couldn't help feeling a little scared, but the woman next to him spoke again:
"Don't worry, you won't die. Now I'm going to take you to see someone who can save you."
After saying that, the woman beside him carried Xia Shang on her back. There was also a woman beside him, the dying Yue Lingbo.
She is better than Xia Shang and can still move on her own, but her face has lost all color and is ashen.
Xia Shang had many things to ask, such as how long he had been unconscious, where was this place, how was Shuiyue Villa? Has the fire been extinguished? Has it rained...
But he didn't have the energy to ask now. All his energy had to be used to open his eyes and observe the surroundings silently.
The cave where Xia Shang was located was silent and dark. Only the oil lamps on the mountain wall glowed dimly, one every few meters. The pungent smell of blood came from nowhere and was so strong.
It was as if the entire cave had been stained by blood donations. At the same time, Xia Shang also heard a hazy sound of rain outside the cave. It seemed that it was really raining outside, and the rain was not light.
Xia Shang's thoughts gradually became more active, and at this moment, a creepy sound of iron chains hitting his ears suddenly came.
Xia Shang remembered this voice and soon understood where he was.
At this time, the cave where the ancestor of Shuiyue Villa was located!
As expected, Xia Shang was quickly taken to a more open cave.
This cave is five to six feet across and is very open. There are strange rocks dripping above the head, but it is very flat under the feet.
There is no open fire here, but everything inside is clearly visible, because there is a pool of spring water with green light in the cave. I don’t know whether the blue light is from the pool water or the stones at the bottom of the pool. The blue light refracts the water surface and casts on the walls like bright lights.
The sea of stars is gorgeous. Xia Shang has never seen such a strange scene, and based on his knowledge, he does not know what it is. But what is certain is that there must be something magical in that pool of water.
A total of seven dark iron chains stretched out from the bottom of the pool and were connected to the ancestor who was sitting on a platform. At this moment, the ancestor was closing his eyes and concentrating, unable to feel any dangerous atmosphere, and was as calm as a stone.
Seeing this, Xia Shang finally understood. It turned out that this ancestor was locked here.
"Ancestor, everyone has been brought here." Yue Haitang walked up to the ancestor and whispered.
After a moment, the ancestor responded in a low voice: "Take off your clothes and enter the spiritual spring."
Yue Haitang looked back at Yue Lingbo, who nodded knowingly, then slowly took off his clothes and entered the pool glowing with blue light.
"Can you undress yourself?"
Xia Shang was placed on the ground and stood still. Xia Shang thought for a while and then nodded.
After finally taking off his clothes and entering the pool, Xia Shang's lips turned blue in an instant as the cold water seemed colder than ice cubes.
The same situation also appeared on Yue Lingbo's face. At this moment, he was shivering and huddled up, and he could hardly help but get out of the pool.
Yue Haitang suddenly held her down and lowered her voice: "This is the spiritual spring that dominates the world. Legend has it that immortals ascended here. It is so magical! Only this spiritual spring can resolve your poison. No matter how difficult it is, you must hold on."
"
After only a moment, Yue Lingbo was already too cold to speak: "Sister...sister...we...how long are we going to be here...here...?"
"Ten days!" The ancestor on the side suddenly opened his eyes, "Little maid, don't give up your opportunity. If Haitang Baby hadn't begged me, I would never let you ruin the spiritual roots of this world. The spring of
Ordinary people like you can imagine that three days of soaking can strengthen the body, ten days can eliminate hundreds of poisons, and a hundred days of I Ching can cleanse the marrow... If you soak in this spring water for three years, even the dead can be reborn in Nirvana."
Xia Shang was stunned by the cold. He didn't listen to what he said, let alone guess whether what the other party said was true or false. He only thought of one sentence - "Now is his only hope."
Survival is human instinct. No matter whether it works or not, Xia Shang will try it.
But Yue Lingbo, who was in the same pool, didn't seem to have as strong a desire to survive as Xia Shang. She wanted to break away and leave. Yue Haitang became angry: "What are you doing?"
"I...I, I, I...I don't want to stay with this person."
Yue Haitang shouted: "It's a matter of life and death, how can it be based on your temper?!"
At the same time, the ancestor said again: "Little maid, I heard that you have been in a bottleneck period and have been unable to break through for a long time. Maybe this spiritual spring is an opportunity for you to break through. Think about it yourself."
"Breakthrough..." Yue Lingbo was stunned. Her martial arts cultivation has been stagnant for many years. People who practice martial arts are always pursuing becoming stronger. Yue Lingbo is the same. After listening to the ancestor's words, she finally figured it out and returned to the pool.
Closed his eyes.
Yue Haitang looked a little helpless, sighed quietly, and walked to Xia Shang: "You can rest assured here, your ancestor is here to protect you, and you don't have to be distracted by anything. There are still many matters outside that have not been dealt with. I will come back in ten days.
