No one knew how long the master and disciple slept, but outside the space, everyone was getting extremely anxious.
Everyone searched all over the mountains and fields again and again, even Jin Bei came to look for them, but unfortunately, there was no sign of them.
Zhao and Lin Changshu had guessed something, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. They could only join in the search, at least to pretend.
That night, the entire Shuanghe Village was shaken. Almost all the adults, except the children, went out to search the mountain and the surrounding areas.
It was not until the sky gradually brightened that everyone slowly retreated.
Zhao couldn't tell the truth, so she could only change her approach to comfort, "Don't worry, everyone. Xiao Lingdang isn't the type to do anything rash. Since she left with someone, it means she must be planning to do something that's inconvenient for us to see.
I, I believe in her! She must have a way. Everyone has been running around all night, so let's go back and rest. I think I should be back soon.
Having said that, everyone, including the village chief, was still worried.
In the space, the first person to wake up was Jiang Xinian. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw the blue sky at a glance, sighing in his heart.
It turns out that you can see the sky in the underworld?
Why do you feel like you're dead?
Because he could no longer feel the pain he felt before, as if his whole body was being gnawed and pricked by needles. He knew his apprentice best, and he also knew what kind of poison he had been poisoned with.
He knew that Xiuyuan was a child who couldn't solve the problem, so he didn't hold out much hope.
It’s just a pity that he passed away without having the chance to say anything to everyone. It was really a rather hasty departure.
He sat up and wanted to taste what Mengpo soup tasted like. He had been curious about it for eight hundred years. Now he finally had the chance to try it himself, so he had to be proactive.
As soon as he sat up, he was stunned.
This is not the underworld, this is simply a fairyland.
The endless fields are full of golden wheat, and there are towering mountains in the distance. Birds can be vaguely seen flying by, and the crisp bird calls are endless.
There is also a very large pond next to it, the water is crystal clear and there are clusters of beautiful wild flowers blooming around the pond.
Take a deep breath, and the fragrance of flowers and grass will hit your nose, and there is even an indescribable sweet smell.
He stood up and walked to the edge of the pond. He scooped up a handful of water with both hands and wiped his face. The water droplets slipped into his mouth, which suddenly surprised him.
Something is wrong. Why does this water taste so familiar?
He scooped up a handful and drank it, his eyes immediately widening.
Isn't this the same water he drank from his young apprentice? It has a subtle sweetness, and it makes you feel refreshed after drinking it.
He sensed something was wrong and immediately looked around. Sure enough, he saw Little Bell lying on the ground not far away.
His heart skipped a beat and he rushed over to pick her up. "Little Bell, Little Bell! What happened to you? Why are you here?"
Seeing no response, Jiang Xinian pinched her wrist and checked her condition. When he found out that she was tired, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Something is wrong, very wrong!
Not only did Xiao Lingdang have a pulse, but he also had one. What did this mean? It meant they were not dead!
But he had clearly been poisoned before and was dying!
Also, what kind of place is this and why are there only two of them?
He had so many questions, but no one could answer them.
He had a hunch that this place must be related to his little apprentice's secret, so he didn't dare to walk around. He could only sit there holding the little bell and waiting for her to wake up.
I don’t know how long I waited.
Xiao Lingling just felt a severe headache. She knew that this was the result of overdrawing her soul.
This symptom will probably continue for some time.
When she opened her eyes, she met Jiang Xinian's inquiring eyes. Her heart tightened and she realized where she was. She was stunned.
Oh no, oh no, I forgot to press the master’s acupoints, and now he saw it. What should I do?
Just as she was frantically thinking of a countermeasure, Jiang Xinian had calmed down after thinking for a while.
Seeing the little girl in my arms' eyes rolling around happily, I knew what she was thinking.
Jiang Xinian raised his hand and tapped Xiao Lingling on the head twice, "Okay, okay, don't think about it, let your little head rest.
If you don't want to talk about it, Master won't ask. But, can you also cure this poison of mine?"
Little Bell smiled foolishly and nodded.
Jiang Xinian sighed, "Huh, it really wasn't in vain that I accepted you as my disciple. If it weren't for you, your master's life would have been over.
Okay, I won't ask you how you cured the poison, nor where you are, but you must at least tell me how we can get back."
Xiao Lingling didn't know how much time had passed, and worried that her family would be worried, so she nodded immediately.
"Yes, yes, but Master, could you please close your eyes first?"
Jiang Xinian was very obedient and closed his eyes.
The next moment, the two left the space and appeared halfway up the mountain.
At this time, it was already evening outside. The sunset glow hung darkly in the sky, and a few white clouds were floating above their heads.
"Okay, Master."
Jiang Xinian opened his eyes and realized that he had returned to the back mountain of Shuanghe Village in just a moment. He was shocked and looked at Xiao Lingling in disbelief.
Seeing her evasive look, he sighed, but finally held back and didn't ask any more questions.
However, there are always some things that need to be made clear in advance, "Have you thought about what you are going to say when you get back?"
Little Bell scratched his ears and said, "Master, I said I found a cave and we stayed in the cave, is that okay?
As for the detoxification, I'll just say it's a unique secret technique that you, Master, taught me, what do you think?"
Jiang Xinian raised his eyebrows. "The first part is fine, but what is the unique secret technique? What if they ask me? Besides, you still have several senior brothers. It's not easy to fool them."
Little Lingling immediately wrinkled her face into a small bun, looking extremely distressed.
Jiang Xinian couldn't bear to see her like this, so he could only sigh, "Have you mastered the eighty-one needle techniques that Master taught you before?"
Little Bell didn't know why he asked that, but nodded anyway. "Yes, I've tried it on rabbits, but not on humans."
Jiang Xinian's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said calmly, "That's fine! Just say it's the unique secret technique taught to you by your master, and only those who have mastered this set of needlework can learn it."
Little Bell tilted her head in confusion, "Ah? But don't my brothers know how to do it too?"
Jiang Xi laughed young, "When I say they can, I mean they have memorized the acupuncture point map, the order and the key points, but no one can continuously give 81 needles.
This acupuncture technique is far from as simple as you imagine. I'm afraid they may not be able to master it in their entire lives. So, just say this and they won't ask any more questions."
