Dilemma

Chapter 6 Dilemma

Li Wuxiang retracted his arm, and the stone door was immediately slammed shut by the air waves outside. The sound echoed several times in the empty room before gradually disappearing.

But the roar in his head continued--

Is what Zhao Kui said true? !

There is really a sea of ​​fire outside!!

He rushed back to the front room, picked up an empty sack and returned to the door again. With a strong force of his arm, he pushed the stone door open a gap for the second time and threw the sack out.

After falling ten feet away, a faint light suddenly appeared on the sack, as if it had passed through an invisible wall, and then it was suddenly swept up by the air flow, and instantly burst into flames and turned into ashes.

He retracted his hand, stepped back a few steps, sat on the wooden couch and sighed.

Zhao Xi looked at him timidly: "Do you believe it now?"

He didn't want to believe it at all, but he had to accept the reality and think about it later-for example, sitting on the wooden couch like now and sighing.

Li Wuxiang wanted to use this action to hide her shock and give herself some time to think quickly.

Because, maybe Zhao Xi hasn't realized it yet, but she will realize it sooner or later-the two of them are about to fall into a cruel fight to the death.

She still acted a little afraid of herself now. I don't know how Zhao Kui described the "external evil" to her, but this "fear" is not enough. She was afraid of Zhao Kui before, but after finding the opportunity to kill him, she took the risk without hesitation. She may not be a person who knows a lot, but because of this, she seems to have the temperament and instincts of a beast...

"You asked me to spit him. So he taught you some skills?" Li Wuxiang turned to look at Zhao Xi, "Tell me about it."

Zhao Xi immediately spoke with a bit of flattery: "He taught me how to eat less, so I only eat a little for one or two days. Zhao Kui said this is called fasting, but he said that my fire is not enough. I only learned to consolidate the foundation, and I still have to draw and replenish... I still have to eat something..."

Li Wuxiang stood up and walked slowly to the counter while listening. There were four drawers on the cabinet table, and he pulled them all open and checked them. Two of them were empty, and one contained some porcelain bottles, which had many scratches and looked like they had been used for a few years, but were basically empty. In another drawer, there were piles of various minerals - there were also some pigments on the table, and Li Wuxiang guessed that these were also used to mix pigments.

As for the use, Zhao Xi was just talking about this - Zhao Kui was a Qi-refining master who was about to form a pill, but he was neither a disciple of the orthodox Xuanmen nor a true master, so he only knew inferior magic, and paper puppetry was one of them. Make a paper man out of thick bamboo paper, then carefully draw with pigments, and apply magic, and it will become the thing you killed below.

This kind of paper man seems to have endless uses, but it is essentially a ghost, and is most afraid of saliva in the mouth. As long as it touches, the magic will be broken immediately.

But Zhao Kui has not taught this method to Zhao Xi. This made Li Wuxiang feel a little relieved.

He had no intention of harming anyone at this time, but he knew that if the fire outside did not stop, and Zhao Xi gradually discovered that he was not the kind of "external evil" that she and Zhao Kui feared, she would almost certainly take action.

She had a terrible scar on her chest before, but after taking the elixir for only two quarters of an hour, she was able to cover her chest and speak calmly. She said that this was because Zhao Kui taught her some Qi training skills, which allowed her to strengthen her body and waste less food. From this point of view, the extent of her learning is far more than just "strengthening the body", but she herself is not clear yet.

And his body, which has not seen the sun for a long time, was starved to death not long ago. If he really fights with Zhao Xi who has recovered, he will definitely not be his opponent, so he has to find a way to protect himself while Zhao Xi is still afraid of him. If Zhao Kui, a Qi training master who has formed a pill, is really as powerful as he said, then there may be something here...

-"Taoist books" and the like. This word popped up inexplicably from his memory again.

He pushed aside the ores, and under a layer of stone powder of different colors, he really touched something.

It was a thin book bound with thread, wrapped in a piece of linen. Li Wuxiang removed the linen and saw three words written on the book: "Guang Chanzi". He flipped through the book and confirmed that it was a Taoist book. The text inside was difficult and obscure. At first glance, you would think it was just some moral articles, philosophical discussions, etc., but after a closer look, it seemed to have a deeper meaning.

After his resurrection, he saw this kind of thing for the first time, but his chaotic memory told him what the book was called and what was mysterious about it - this kind of Taoist book records the methods of Qi refining and cultivation. In order to prevent others from easily understanding their secrets, the author often used code words when writing, which was also similar to a code. It should be called... Yes, it is called Dao Jue.

Only by knowing the "Dao Jue" can you understand the various human relationships and retribution of good and evil mentioned in the book, which may refer to the principles of blood circulation, essence and deficiency. Otherwise, even if a person gets a supreme classic, it is extremely difficult to comprehend the entry.

Li Wuxiang shook the booklet at Zhao Xi: "Has he read the contents in it to you?"

Zhao Xi was talking about how Zhao Kui taught her to use charcoal to make fire in the alchemy furnace, and she was very interested. Seeing the "Guang Chanzi" in his hand, she immediately widened her eyes: "Don't touch this! This thing will suck human blood. If you touch it a few times, you will get sick!"

"He said this to you?"

Zhao Xi was stunned and frowned: "... He lied to me?"

She is so smart. Li Wuxiang felt a little sorry for her cleverness. He nodded: "He lied to you. Come, tell me in detail what you said before, the principles of Qigong and Qigong that he taught you."

"Ah..." Zhao Xi hesitated for a while and whispered, "Actually, I don't remember it very clearly."

She has gradually begun to realize that she is not as ignorant as she appears. Li Wuxiang smiled and threw the booklet to her: "This should record Zhao Kui's Qi Refining Technique. Zhao Kui taught you some skills and taught you to fast, but you haven't learned it yet, right?"

"So now I have to eat, and you have to eat too. The things in here will be eaten sooner or later. When that day comes, we may not be able to talk to each other in a friendly manner like this." Li Wuxiang weighed the short knife in his hand, "I am an external evil."

Zhao Xi swallowed his saliva: "He said that external evils like you are not very scary now..."

Li Wuxiang sat on the chair next to the counter, pretending to be interested, and squinted: "Oh? What did he say?"

"He said... external evils like you are not very scary at first, and there is no difference from ordinary people. The person possessed may still get help when practicing, but over time, you absorb the essence and spirit of the practitioners, and you will drive the practitioners crazy..." She said while observing Li Wuxiang's expression, "Then you become a demon, killing people on sight. , so we must not let the external evil absorb the essence of the cultivators..."

Li Wuxiang smiled at her: "Listen, you also said 'after a while' - but now we can't eat our food until 'after a while'. Besides, what he said was also a lie. External evil like me only harms cultivators with poor morals like Zhao Kui. You helped me find a way to deal with him and helped me kill him. How could I harm you? "

Zhao Xi hesitated, so Li Wuxiang added: "If he really wanted to harm you, why did he feed you the elixir before? Tell me how he taught you - you can't read, right? When I learn it, I will continue to teach you, and we can live here as long as we want. "

Zhao Xi twisted her hands and said: "Then you must keep your word...you have to keep this for me. "

"External evil never lies. "

So she told Li Wuxiang what Zhao Kui had taught her before, how to think about something, how to sense the throbbing of the body, and how and when to adjust her breathing. She didn't say much, just a dozen sentences, while holding the book and showing him the first page.

Li Wuxiang was stunned as he listened.

It's not that he didn't understand what she said, but he understood it quite easily - while listening to what she said, he compared the words in the Taoist book and gradually found the corresponding parts. Logically speaking, Zhao Xi's content was too little, and he shouldn't be able to comprehend the book thoroughly with just these.

But his situation was as if he had read this Taoist book a long time ago, or at least something similar, and he couldn't find the clue for a while after reading it again many years later, but once Zhao Xi reminded him a little, it was like finding a thread, and he understood most of it at once.

In this way, he was not confused about the Taoist book, but a little confused about himself. When he was down there, he was quite sure that he was a time traveler, because at that time he had no impression of the world he was in now. But now that I have come into contact with more things, I find that I seem to be quite familiar with many things in this world... At least I was familiar with them in the past.

... Who am I? Could it be that I am really an outsider?
