C22 Eighteen eighteen
In fact, I feel like any normal person who jumps into a pond full of insect corpses and snakes, full of weird green fluid, would have to make a mental struggle, right?
However, my hesitation caused the peerless beauty to become unhappy. She looked at me and said, "Why, are you unwilling?"
At the side, Xue Rui became anxious and pushed me a little. She said, "You are just a Gu Keeper, how can you be afraid of bugs?" Furthermore, speaking of bugs, the Blood Gathering Gu in your stomach is much stronger than the poisonous bugs in this world.
I understood her meaning. She wasn't urging me on, but was afraid that her master would reject me.
No matter what Lu Zuo does, she still bears a bit of responsibility towards me, his cousin. That's why he treated me, his disciple, with such importance, and is afraid that I would be rejected.
This wormpool should be the most important key to healing my body, right?
Otherwise, Lu Zuo wouldn't have called Er Chun and brought me here from so far away. I had to grit my teeth and go in just for her sake.
Thinking about it, I calmed myself down and smiled towards the beautiful Chi-Li Nai among the wormpool. I said that it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm a little hesitant, don't know if I should take off my clothes in this pond — — I'm a little shy here … …
This was not a suitable excuse, but seeing the expressions on both of their faces, it seemed like they believed it.
Men may not think so, but for women, it is indeed a rather awkward situation. After all, the concept of the countrymen is not as good as that of the Japanese. The Japanese can take off their clothes and freely bathe together with men.
Especially the Chi-Li Nai himself. Even though she only revealed parts above his chest and was even wrapped by the dirty insect corpses, no matter how I looked at it, she didn't seem to be wearing any clothes.
The peerless beauty squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, just come in."
I nodded, thought for a bit, then handed the cell phone with broken screen, wallet with various documents, and bank cards over to Sherry so that she can help me bring Er Chun over to her. I took a deep breath and walked over to the wormpool.
Earlier, when I saw the peerless beauty standing up from the water, the water surface was close to her chest, so I felt that even if Chi-Li Nai was more than 1.7m tall, her swimming depth should not be more than 1.5m.
So I began to feel my way slowly down with my feet, as if I were finding a support point.
However, after a long time, I still could not get to the bottom of the matter. I felt that the green liquid did not have the stench that I had imagined, but was instead filled with the scent of mint, cypress, cinnamon, fragrant roots, hodgepodge, musk and other spices. It was extremely fragrant, and the temperature was suitable for the human body.
I thought that I could step all the way to the end very quickly, but the truth was that it ruthlessly slapped my face. After jumping into the wormpool, even if I stretched my whole body, I couldn't find a way to reach the bottom.
I kept falling down, and soon the green liquid engulfed me.
wormpool isn't the depth that I imagined. When we entered, I suddenly felt like I fell into a waterfall, a huge force knocked me down, and I continuously fell down, as if I fell from a building.
This intense stimulation caused me to shout out loud, and the liquid flowed through my nose and mouth and flowed into my mouth.
I began to struggle, my hands swiping around.
Mother, what's going on? Is everything I see a lie?
Why is the wormpool able to stand on top of it while I fall into the abyss?
I tried to calm myself, but my body's response became more and more flustered, and after a while I even thought I was going to die.
At that moment, I couldn't help but open my eyes.
When the miraculous thing happened, I realised that I wasn't in wormpool, but my entire body was floating. This place seemed to be another place, and it was a little different than the wormpool from before.
This was actually a cave filled with lava. Bubbles were bubbling out of the huge magma pool, looking a little like when a volcano was erupting.
This … this …
I can't be f * cking dead, can I? Why did I stay in that gloomy and damp wormhole just a moment ago, and now I'm in that volcano with flames everywhere and heat flowing through it?
I was so flustered that I looked around and couldn't help but float. It was only after a while that I realized something was wrong.
Wait a minute, in such a hot environment, how come I don't feel any warmth at all?
Am I really dead?
Or perhaps, this is simply an illusion, and everything I see is not real?
Just when my entire mind was filled with doubts, the fire pool below me suddenly went berserk with lava rolling about. Some of it even splashed up a meter or two, almost hitting my body. After a few breaths, the liquid finally calmed down and the red light slowly solidified.
This woman was very beautiful, just like the sun at noon. She had a kind of beauty that no one dared to look directly at.
My brain was in a knot, and after a long while, I finally realised that she was Chi-Li Nai.
Master Xue Rui from wormpool.
At that time, I really wanted to kneel down, but after thinking about it, I felt that it would be better to maintain some self-respect, so I calmed myself down and asked her, "Senior, what exactly is going on? Didn't you ask me to go into the wormpool?
The Chi-Li Nai looked at me calmly and said slowly, "This is the deepest part of your heart."
Deep in his heart?
[What happened? Did I get hypnotized? What happened to the feeling of being suffocated to death?]
I voiced out the doubts in my heart. Chi-Li Nai waved his hand and grabbed with his five fingers, pulling a person out from the lava.
That person's entire body was wrapped in lava, curled up, and his clothes were burnt to shreds. I felt that he was very familiar, but when I saw his face, I was completely stunned. I shouted in shock, "What did you do to me? What exactly did you do?"
That person was actually me.
Then who am I?
Chi-Li Nai actually laughed. She said that he said it was from the bottom of his heart, and everything you see is just an illusion. Why are you so nervous?
She waved her hand, and I, who was curled up, actually floated in the air as well. Soon after, he started to slowly become transparent, the outermost clothes and skin all disappeared, then muscles, and then I saw the structure inside my chest cavity, as well as my broken internal organs and the octopus-like Blood Gathering Gu attached to my heart.
It was different from what mottled little Taoist showed me before. At this moment, "I" 's body was filled with green liquid.
The fluid was nourishing my broken organs, squirming.
I seemed to understand something.
The Chi-Li Nai then explained to me, "Your current body is basically relying on the hypnotism of the Blood Gathering Gu, which is why you were able to keep your last breath of life. Any movement in the wind or grass will cause you to collapse without any warning, because your body's functions, are already unable to support your life.
Her method is for me to stay in the wormpool and use a period of infiltration to recuperate my internal organs.
After hearing Chi-Li Nai's explanation, I broke down in tears of gratitude. Knowing that I had misunderstood her, I hurriedly expressed my gratitude.
She looked at me and suddenly said, "I'm not helping you out for free. There are conditions."
As long as I can live, I am willing to do anything.
Chi-Li Nai looked at me for a long time before saying, "You will know when the time comes. Alright, I'll leave now. You can stay here. I'll naturally tell you when I get the chance to leave. "Right, this place is actually quite dangerous. Just stay in the cave. If you randomly charge in and run outside, I won't be able to save you."
After she finished speaking, the other me in the air turned into lava and scattered all over the place. She also fell into the sea of fire that was rolling around.
Everything seemed to return to calm.
My body no longer floated, as if I were the real me all of a sudden. I walked beside the rocks by the fire, still savoring her words.
What do you mean it's dangerous outside?
Isn't this place the deepest depths of my heart? How could there be danger?
I felt that there was something wrong with my brain, but I knew that since my body was being repaired in wormpool, I could finally escape from death. I no longer hesitated and found a place to sit down cross-legged.
I was bored sitting there, so I started to silently recite "The Twelve Techniques of Suppressing Mountains and Mountains."
Previously, I didn't come into contact with many mystical items, so when I saw the contents, I didn't feel anything. However, now that I think about it, my comprehension ability seemed to have risen to a whole new level.
I began to study hungrily, and before I knew it, I was in a dazed state of meditation.
After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly felt like I was being hugged. Someone whispered in my ear, "Eighteen, Eighteen …"
