Chapter 79: The Pool and the Ring
Jiu Xiao held his forehead with his hand. “Previous temple masters did temper their bodies this way, but few could withstand the impact of a waterfall.”
The waterfall has a great impact.
The suffering is indescribable.
His master Qianyuan also took him to try it before, and the feeling was really not something that ordinary people could endure.
It's very painful.
You will feel like your internal organs are no longer your own, and the burning sensation in your organs will make you think you are going to die on the spot.
He was already an adult at the time, and his ability to withstand and endure was greater than that of an average person, but he only lasted less than a minute.
I didn’t dare do that again afterwards.
Even though he knew that such tempering was good for the body, he didn't dare to try it again.
The internal organs cannot bear it.
I couldn’t do it when I was young, so how could I possibly dare to try now that I’m old?
After all, he wanted to live longer.
Watching his granddaughter live a happy life.
After hearing this, Yang Zengyue thought for a while and said, "Master, you were in the waterfall for too short a time. If you were in it longer, you would find that your body would benefit from it."
Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Yang Zengyue told him the results of the two hours of training he and Chen Jiaer had done.
Jiuxiao was very surprised.
I've never heard the master mention it before.
Is it because of different physiques?
Or, not enough time?
Jiu Xiao doubted it was the former. "Your physique is different from that of ordinary people, so this effect occurs. For a body like mine, the waterfall wouldn't work, and I might even die there."
Yang Zengyue had actually considered this, "Master, your body may really not be able to bear it, but you can soak in the pool for two hours and try it."
She thought it might be the water.
It's not that their physiques are different.
Our ancestors could not bear this kind of impact and certainly would not want to soak in the pond.
Naturally, this secret cannot be discovered.
Also, it is very likely that due to the unusual movements in Sikun Mountain, the lake water will have other effects?
The pool was formed by the impact of the waterfall and has experienced the same years as the mountain.
Last time they were collecting herbs on the cliff, they discovered plants that did not belong to their world. Perhaps this pond has also changed.
You can give Jiuxiao a try.
Just do it.
Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer hurried to prepare breakfast. There was a simple kitchen here with everything. The space for both of them was full of food, so they didn't have to worry about food at all.
A pot of seafood porridge was quickly cooked, and it was served with a few side dishes. The three of them ate with relish.
All the fatigue is gone.
Jiuxiao ate two large bowls in a row and decided to listen to Yang Zengyue and try the pool to see if it was really that magical.
After cleaning up the kitchen and closing the door of Xingyun Temple from the inside, the three of them headed straight for the pond.
The mark laid by Yang Zengyue is still there, but she reinforced it for safety.
After arriving at the place, Yang Zengyue built a fire. She was worried that her master could not bear the coldness of the pond, so she waited for him to get up and warm himself by the fire.
After the fire was lit, I threw in some sweet potatoes and corn so that the chef could eat them when he got up.
Jiuxiao entered the pool and stopped near the bottom of the waterfall. The water would splash on him but would not hurt him.
Without that kind of impact, he felt that the water in the pond was not uncomfortable except that it was extremely cold. It was within his tolerance.
Yang Zengyue kept watching, fearing that something might happen to her master, so that she could rescue him in time if the situation was not right.
Chen Jiaer also held his breath.
Both of them were very nervous.
If Jiuxiao could improve his speed and physical fitness, it would be a good thing for both of them.
They will have fewer concerns and worries.
After going to Nanyuan, I will have more time to deal with other family matters.
Will not be tied down.
Jiuxiao also understood this.
Although he was very uncomfortable in the pool, he managed to stay there.
When he first entered the pool, he realized that the coldness of the water seemed to penetrate into his bones, and the cold air seeped into his bones and rushed straight to his head.
Jiuxiao felt that his head was a little overwhelmed and his eyes were a little blurry, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
He can't fall down.
Otherwise Zengyue will be worried.
He didn't want to be a burden to Souyue, either now or in the future.
Jiuxiao pinched his thigh hard with his hand in the pool, gritting his teeth to endure the coldness that penetrated into his heart.
After enduring this excruciating discomfort, he soon felt a hint of warmth and discovered that the ring on his left hand was actually getting hot.
The warmth spread along his arm to his whole body, and he felt better.
Then he closed his eyes.
Before going down to the pond, Zengyue told him to remember to silently recite the mantra of the Heart Sutra handed down from Xingyun Temple. After he felt that his body was no longer unwell, he began to recite it silently, over and over again...
When he opened his eyes again, two hours had passed.
Yang Zengyue saw a different light in his open eyes.
She knew it would work.
I suddenly felt relieved.
"Master, I put the clothes over there. You should change the wet ones quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold." Seeing Jiuxiao stand up, Yang Zengyue quickly pointed to the simple curtain that she and Chen Jiaer had pulled on the other side of the pool.
When Jiuxiao changed his clothes and came to the fire, Yang Zengyue smiled happily: "Master, I told you it would work."
Jiuxiao also smiled, nodded, and briefly recounted what happened to him in the pond.
Yang Zengyue looked at his left hand, and the black ring became more smooth.
The color is darker and shiny black.
Jiuxiao also felt relaxed, his body was indeed lighter, and he found that his footsteps were much lighter.
In addition, the turbid air in my heart and chest was finally exhaled.
Otherwise he always felt like something was stuck in his chest, making him feel stuffy.
Since this place is so useful, Yang Zengyue decided to come here every day at night.
At that time, she and Jiaer will be under the waterfall, and the master will be not far away. She and Jiaer will separate the master's location.
Do not disturb each other.
This will also be more convenient.
Chen Jiaer calculated the size of his space to see if he could carry some of the water in the pond with him.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
Maybe the water has to be here to be effective.
Each person ate a corn and a sweet potato, and it was already twelve o'clock noon.
Yang Zengyue cleaned up the fire thoroughly, leaving no trace, then closed the curtain and returned to Xingyun Temple.
They have to go down the mountain.
Come back later after dark.
Let the master soak for two hours before going home. I guess the master's body can be well tempered before going to Nanyuan.
As long as he can increase his speed, he will have an extra way to survive when dealing with the enemy's hot weapons.
There are an outrageous number of hot weapons in this era. If the master's speed cannot keep up, it will be very dangerous when encountering hot weapons.
Although Nanyuan is not a lawless place, some activities are carried out secretly.
