Chapter 18: Acacia in the body
Duan Feibai held Tao Jingyi in his arms and went upstream from the bottom of the water.
Ten Mile Blood Pond is a forbidden area of the Flora Sect. The reason why it is a forbidden area is because the secret of the Flora Sect is hidden at the bottom of the river—the Skull Palace. The name of the Skull Palace seems terrifying, but it is actually the escape channel of the Flora Cult.
When he was very young, he once saw a map in his father's study, which depicted the Ten Mile Blood Pond and Skull Palace of the Flower God Sect, and he thought it was given to his father by Yu Sangqing.
Later, his father burned the map, but he had an extraordinary memory, and he only saw it once and remembered it firmly in his heart. Over the years, the impression is somewhat blurred, but I still remember some of the general route.
When Duan Feibai swam to the river with Tao Jingyi in his arms, Tao Jingyi had already passed out. Remembering how her hands and feet were stiff in the water just now, Duan Fei frowned. In his impression, Su Xiyan knew how to swim, but judging by her appearance just now, it seemed that she could not do it at all. If he hadn't crossed over, she would have almost drowned at the bottom of the river.
But Su Xiyan is a woman who is best at acting, so she might be acting again to win his affection.
Is the palm blocked for him also trying to win his affection?
Thinking of Tao Jingyi flying in front of him and blocking the palm for him, Duan Feibai's expression turned a little pale. He couldn't tell what it was like. At that moment, he really wanted to kill, Yu Sangqing, and the Flower God Cult.
With great difficulty, Duan Feibai suppressed this killing intent. He knew that he couldn't go on like this anymore, his inner demons had become more and more serious over the years, and if things went on like this, he would definitely go mad.
Sweeping away all the strange thoughts, he picked her up and walked towards the river. Sure enough, there is an underground palace under the water. The underground palace is brightly lit, and it can be seen that people often come here.
Both of their clothes were wet and dripping with water. He put Tao Jingyi down, and used his internal energy to bake the clothes of the two of them. After a while, the clothes of the two gradually became dry.
After drying the clothes of the two, Duan Feibai remembered the slap Tao Jingyi had received, and turned her over. During the turning process, he found that she was still holding his clothes tightly in her hands. After a lot of effort, he broke open her palm and snatched the corner of his clothes back from her hand.
The girl looked thin, but she was quite strong. It is not surprising that the children of the Jianghu, more or less possess internal strength, which is much stronger than ordinary women.
After soaking in cold water, most of the blood on Tao Jingyi's body had been washed away. He tore off the clothes on her back, revealing the injured area.
Duan Fei didn't look sideways, but just focused on the wound. The wound was slightly swollen and blackened, obviously caused by poisoning.
"Soul Breaking Palm" itself was poisoned, and Yu Sangqing's nails turned black, obviously other poisons were applied.
Duan Feibai held Tao Jingyi's wrist, carefully checking her pulse. Sure enough, as he thought, she was also poisoned by a poison called "Seven Days End".
The poison of "Broken Soul Palm" is easy to cure, but the antidote of "Seven Days End" is a bit difficult to prepare.
The poison of "Broken Soul Palm" only needs to be forced out with internal force, but the poison of "Seven Days Exhaustion" is formulated from forty-nine kinds of poisons/medicines. The poison is as its name suggests, once poisoned, there are only seven days left to live, and the symptom is mental decline. After three days, it will be as stupid as a child. On the fifth day, it will become more and more sleepy. There is no possibility of waking up.
Duan Feibai helped Tao Jingyi, her clothes were torn by him just now, exposing the wounds, he took off his outer robe and wrapped it around her body. Sitting cross-legged behind her, with both palms resting on her back, the inner strength in the palms is pumped out, and it is for her to force the poison.
Tao Jingyi felt cold at first, and the cold water enveloped her from all directions, making her shiver. Later, she felt hot again, as if someone had lit a stove in her body, and the dry heat rose from inside, roasting her body.
It was in this hot and cold state that she gradually woke up.
The scene in front of her made her feel dazed for a moment, thinking that she was in some fairy palace. The continuous heat from her back caused her body to heat up rapidly, and something seemed to be churning in her chest.
Tao Jingyi turned his head, and suddenly heard a voice next to his ear: "Don't move around."
Hearing this voice, Tao Jingyi woke up a little bit, and suddenly remembered what happened. She obediently did not move, but rolled her eyes to look at the palace in front of her. The palace was brightly lit, and it was endless. Obviously, this should be the Skull Palace in the legend of the Flora Cult.
As for where are the skeletons? Nature is at her feet. When the Skullland Palace was built, tens of thousands of people died, and the bones of those people were buried under the Skullland Palace. This is the true meaning of the Skullland Palace.
Tao Jingyi only felt that there seemed to be a cool wind blowing, it was chilly, and a chill could not help creeping up her back, and even the heat on her body disappeared a lot. Only the blood in her chest was still churning, and it was getting more and more turbulent. Suddenly, with a "poof", she spurted out a mouthful of black blood foam.
Duan Feibai withdrew his hand. After forcing out this mouthful of poisonous blood, the toxins in "Broken Soul Palm" were almost exhausted.
Tao Jingyi raised his hand to wipe away the blood on his lips, and suddenly felt much refreshed. It's just that the pain at the wound was unbearable, as if someone was scraping her flesh and blood with long nails.
She frowned, wondering if she should tell Duan Feibai.
Duan Feibai had already got up and looked down at her.
Enduring the pain, Tao Jingyi got up tremblingly, twisting this way and that while walking.
Duan Feibai walked a few steps, stopped, and looked back at her.
Tao Jingyi was covered in cold sweat, and with a pale face, he said in a low voice, "I'm in pain."
Duan Feibai was taken aback.
Tao Jingyi bit her lip: "It's not that I'm being hypocritical, it's that it really hurts."
Duan Feibai walked towards her, raised his hand to turn around her body, and pulled off his robe. The robe was already stained with a lot of blood, and the wound under the robe was bleeding, and the five blood holes looked a bit leaky.
"Why didn't you tell me about the pain earlier?" Duan Feibai gave her a reproachful look.
Tao Jingyi shrank his head. To tell the truth, she dare not.
Duan Feibai stretched out two fingers, and tapped around the wound a few times. Miraculously, Tao Jingyi didn't feel the pain anymore.
"I'm fine." Tao Jingyi turned around with joy on his face. The clothes behind her were torn, and the intact skin was looming, and it was white, like a touch of snow on a high mountain.
Duan Feibai looked away, and handed her the robe in his hand.
Tao Jingyi picked up his outer robe, put it on, and followed him to the depths of the underground palace.
Duan Feibai knew the way to the Skull Palace, this is Tao Jingyi's conclusion after following him for a while. Including where there are organs and where is the way to the exit, he knows everything clearly.
Tao Jingyi looked at him with some admiration.
The male protagonist deserves to be the male protagonist, he is simply omnipotent. In the original book, it is never mentioned that the male protagonist knows where the Skullland Palace is, that is to say, the world will automatically complete some plots according to the settings and foreshadowing written by the author.
Now that Duan Feibai knew how to get to the Skull Palace, Tao Jingyi felt relieved and followed him cautiously. It's just that she was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood. After her strength was exhausted, she was dizzy, and she stepped on the ground and fell to the ground with a "slap".
When Duan Feibai turned his head, Tao Jingyi was struggling to get up.
He moved closer to her and bent over to hold her in his arms.
Tao Jingyi said shyly, "I can go by myself."
"Go by yourself, you won't be able to get out of here for half a month." Duan Feibai walked forward with her in his arms.
Tao Jingyi leaned against his arms, not daring to speak or move. She had just soaked in cold water and lost blood again. The underground palace was so cold that she shivered from the cold. Duan Feibai's arms were warm, and the side that was close to his body was also covered with warmth.
Tao Jingyi couldn't help sticking to Duan Feibai's body, sticking himself as close as possible to him, and at the same time tremblingly put his cold hands into his arms.
Duan Feibai: "..."
Tao Jingyi mumbled softly, "It's cold."
Duan Feibai silently hugged her a little tighter.
When he walked out of the underground palace with Tao Jingyi in his arms, Tao Jingyi was already clinging to him. Duan Feibai's eyebrows twitched, and he walked out along the passage. The exit of the passage is a grassland with green grass, which is endless.
He bent down and put Tao Jingyi down. Tao Jingyi sat on the ground with his arms wrapped around his neck.
"Let go." Duan Feibai whispered, with an unconcealable disgust in his voice.
"Kiss, Duan Feibai, kiss." Tao Jingyi not only refused to let go, but even tightened his grip.
Duan Feibai sensed that something was wrong, he tore her arms off his neck forcefully, and looked down at her.
The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, her pink face was covered with peach blossom colors, and her eyes were full of confusion. She pressed herself against his arms, pursed her lips, and leaned in front of him: "Kiss, I want to kiss."
Duan Feibai stretched out his hand to pinch her neck, preventing her from moving forward, and said coldly, "Su Xiyan, wake up and see who I am."
"If you want to kiss, as long as you want to kiss, just take a bite." The girl still rubbed forward, even if he was holding her neck.
There was still a distance between the two, but Duan Feibai could feel her scorching breath rushing towards his face. Not only that, her whole body was boiling hot, and her cheeks were as red as a boiled lobster. If he didn't notice her problem again, he would bear the title of Immortal Doctor in vain.
Looking at her face full of spring, she seems to have been hit by acacia. Could it be that "the end of seven days" is mixed with acacia? What a vicious thought! Yu Sangqing wanted him to die in an ugly manner, embarrassing Duan's face.
Duan Feibai's eyes rolled with a strong killing intent.
