Chapter 37 You and I are a perfect match...
Chen Qing knew exactly how toxic the medicine in her ring was, and since he wasn't telling the truth, she had no choice.
There was a sharp pain in their calves, and Chen Qing realized that the vines were getting tighter and tighter. If they were allowed to continue, their legs would be broken in no time.
Chen Qing was unwilling to die here like this today. She gritted her teeth, took off the armband hanging on her forearm, and formed seals with her hands. The golden spirit ring instantly enlarged several times, and the golden ring was particularly dazzling in the dark environment.
Soon, the Golden Spirit Ring was controlled by Chen Qing and smashed down.
But Chen Qing's condition was already very bad, so the effectiveness of the Golden Spirit Ring was greatly reduced. The Golden Spirit Ring sank downwards, and seemed to see Hong Lian with its fangs bared, and swallowed it in one gulp, and then there was no movement.
Maybe it was because she was choking or something, but Honglian suddenly stopped moving, and even the force of the vines wrapped around their calves weakened a little.
Unfortunately, the cave entrance was too narrow, and Chen Qing couldn't bend down to untie the vines wrapped around his legs.
After about half an incense stick of time, Honglian finally recovered and climbed up again with a hissing sound.
Seeing the noise getting closer, Chen Qing suddenly began to struggle in Li Daoxuan's arms, "Let me go!" Her voice was filled with anger.
Perhaps because death was imminent, Chen Qing suddenly became braver. Now she was forced into such a miserable state by this lotus spirit, which was something she had never experienced before. Even the magic weapon given by her senior brother was swallowed by this monster. Chen Qing was furious and wished she could go down and fight this monster to the death.
Li Daoxuan held down the restless man and asked, "What are you doing again? Are you scared and looking for death?"
Chen Qing said angrily, "No way! If it weren't for the wrong position, I would have fought it to the death! If you let me go, I don't believe I can't kill it!"
Li Daoxuan was amused by her words. He chuckled softly, "Don't forget, we are in this position now. If Madam Shen jumps in impulsively, she will either be swallowed by it or smashed into a pulp. It will be very embarrassing."
After hearing what she said, Shen Qing regained some of her rationality. She immediately lost her temper and thought: If I really died here today, I would definitely not be willing to accept it. As long as Shen Ling was not dealt with and the enemy who wiped out the family was not found, she would not be willing to accept it even if she turned into a ghost.
But there was no way. Suddenly, a strong feeling of despair surged in her heart, as if she had lost all five senses in her previous life and could only count the days waiting for death to come.
Feeling the person in his arms suddenly become weak, Li Daoxuan asked him: "Do you really want to go out?"
Shen Qing said nothing.
"Forget it." Li Daoxuan was the first to compromise. He put his lips next to Shen Qing's ear and said, "Shen Youan, hold on tight. I will take you out right now."
After he finished speaking, he grasped the back of Chen Qing's head with his big hand and buried his head in the side of her neck. His sharp canine teeth pierced her skin, and the fishy-sweet blood entered her mouth. To him, the blood was like a delicious delicacy and wine, with a fatal temptation.
He was like a traveler in the desert who suddenly encountered a downpour of rain. He could only suck blood in big gulps, trying frantically to quench his thirst, but he could never drink enough.
It wasn't until the person in his arms let out a faint groan of pain that his remaining sanity was awakened.
He was so reluctant to pull himself away from Chen Qing's neck, his lips turning bright red due to the blood.
Chen Qing immediately covered her neck with her hands, sweat dripping down her forehead. She didn't know how much blood this dog had sucked away. She just felt dizzy and her hands and feet were weak. She felt that she would die in the next moment.
She scolded him: "Are you a dog? You're almost dying and you still bite me."
Li Daoxuan didn't explain, he just said, "Hold on tight."
After recovering his internal strength, he felt refreshed and full of energy. He sucked the vine wrapped around his leg into his hand through the air, and then pulled it hard. There was a sharp cry of pain, and a seven-foot-long vine was grasped in his hand.
He took another step, embraced Chen Qing and leaped up, swung the vine in his hand down and wrapped it around the scabbard, and with another pull, he pulled the sword out of the three-foot-embedded wall and took it in his hand.
He used the same method to jump up one after another, and soon a ray of light appeared above his head.
After landing, Shen Qing regained some consciousness. The first thing she did was to push him away, but she forgot that her body was very weak. Without support, she fell to the ground in an instant.
Feeling that his collar was a little wet, Chen Qing subconsciously wiped his neck and saw that his hands were covered with blood.
She realized that the bitten area was still bleeding. Chen Qing looked at him angrily, her eyes red again.
Li Daoxuan lowered his head and cut another piece of cloth from the corner of his sleeve and handed it to her. "I will send someone to deliver medicine later. Don't worry about scars."
Chen Qing was not yet so angry as to vent his anger on his own safety. He grabbed the cloth, crumpled it into a ball and pressed it against the wound, snorting coldly: "Fake kindness."
Li Daoxuan was not stupid enough to expose his weakness to others. He did not explain why he wanted to suck her blood. He just said, "Get up when you have rested enough and go back."
Although he didn't say it, Chen Qing also vaguely guessed something. For example, he lost all his internal strength halfway, but recovered as before after sucking her blood. Chen Qing vaguely guessed that the poison in his body seemed to be related to herself, but when she thought about it more carefully, she had no clue.
She could only suppress her curiosity and slowly stand up.
The place where the two of them were now seemed to be a dilapidated temple. A nine-foot-tall wooden statue of Maitreya Buddha stood at the top, with layers of banners hanging on the top. Buddhist scriptures were scattered on the ground. The temple was in a dilapidated state, as if it had been forgotten for a long time. Dust was everywhere, and traces of time could be vaguely seen.
The two of them emerged from a location directly in front of the Buddha statue. A dark hole still remained. A cushion had been moved to the side, larger than the hole itself, seemingly blocking it. Only then did Chen Qing realize that, for some reason, Hong Lian hadn't caught up with him for so long.
So Chen Qing gritted his teeth and pulled out a talisman from his sleeve, urging it to fly into the cave entrance, in an attempt to inflict serious damage on this guy.
After doing all this, Shen Qing clapped his hands and found a scripture pillar to hold on to.
Li Daoxuan had already begun to look around the dilapidated temple. Seeing this, Shen Qing also turned her head slightly to look at the scripture pillars. However, this unintentional glance made her realize something was wrong.
A prayer flag was hanging from the prayer pillar, one side of the flag was slightly curled, wrapping the pattern inside. Just as she was about to take a closer look, she saw Li Daoxuan walking towards her quickly.
"You—" Li Daoxuan covered her mouth and whispered, "Something is coming."
Deep in emotion, he remained silent.
Li Daoxuan looked around, trying to find a place to hide. Finally, he saw that the beam on the top was very wide, just enough to accommodate two people. So he hugged Chen Qing and jumped up, using the beam to cleverly cover their bodies.
Shen Qing slowed down his breathing and didn't dare to move.
Soon a man came out of the temple.
The first thing you see is a slender shadow stretched by the setting sun, followed by layers of robes, drooping hands, and finally an umbrella.
A man in white came with a green umbrella in his hand, walking leisurely as if he was walking in his own home.
After entering the temple, the man put away his umbrella, and a pale face was completely revealed. It looked like a young man.
The young man was thin, with a high nose and deep eyes, and an elegant and upright face. However, there was a dark spot under his eyes and his cheeks were gaunt. He looked weak in energy and blood, like a chronically ill person who had been soaking in medicine jars all year round.
What is more peculiar is that although it is the hottest time of the year, the young man has white silk wrapped around his neck. A closer look reveals traces of white silk on his wrists, as if he is hiding something.
He placed the umbrella on the altar slowly, and then a slender pale hand slowly touched the Buddha statue. There was unstoppable affection in his eyes, and he said, "You and I are really a perfect match." The young man spoke in a gentle tone, but the scene in front of him was extremely strange.
Imagine a man saying lovingly to the big-bellied, smiling Maitreya Buddha, "We are a match made in heaven."
Who wouldn't think he was sick?
Therefore, Chen Qing's back went numb, his brows twisted into a knot, and he cried out in his heart: What a pervert! He is even sicker than Li Daoxuan!
The young man just gazed at the Buddha statue in front of him tenderly, and he couldn't get enough of it. It was not until the sunset and the Guanghan Sky began to appear that he finally moved.
He walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, jumped up and jumped down. After he jumped down, the cushion automatically returned to its place, covering the entrance tightly.
As soon as he left, Chen Qing sat down slumped, not caring that the dust on the beam had stained the hem of her skirt.
Li Daoxuan said behind her: "Let's go."
We really have to leave immediately. If Bai Shuisha returns home and finds changes in the house, he will definitely guess that someone has been there and will probably chase after them in no time.
Chen Qing covered her neck and grimaced, "I can't walk anymore!" She really didn't have the strength to do anything else.
Li Daoxuan could see her weakness, so he put his arm around her shoulders and was about to pick her up. Chen Qing struggled backwards to push him away. Li Daoxuan frowned and looked at her, his eyes full of helplessness, "What are you going to do now?"
Chen Qing covered her neck with her hands in grievance, "It's uncomfortable to hold me, I want to carry you on my back."
Under normal circumstances, Li Daoxuan would have turned and left. However, since there was a potential threat, he compromised once again and turned his back to her.
Only then did Chen Qing feel satisfied and threw herself on his back. The young man had a strong torso and carried her steadily on his back.
The moment before leaving, Chen Qing suddenly remembered the prayer flag he had seen earlier, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, tore off a piece of the prayer flag cloth and held it in his hand.
After leaving the dilapidated temple, I discovered in the moonlight that this was a forest.
Silence enveloped the entire forest, with only the occasional bird calls or animal rustles. The moonlight could not penetrate the forest, and at a glance, it seemed to hide countless unknown secrets and dangers.
The more Chen Qing looked at him, the more creepy he felt. So she simply stopped looking and buried her head in his shoulder.
Li Daoxuan: "Are you scared?"
Chen Qing said without hesitation: "Nonsense, which normal girl would like this damn place?"
As if choked by her overly straightforward words, he didn't speak again for the rest of the journey, and Shen Qing was happy and at ease.
But once he calmed down, the discomfort in his body became more obvious, and he felt that life was becoming more and more difficult. Chen Qing couldn't help but clench the prayer flag in his hand, trying to relieve the discomfort.
She suddenly asked him, "What do you think the paintings we saw earlier mean?"
Those paintings are really weird and confusing.
Li Daoxuan didn't want to waste his energy on unimportant things, so he said, "I don't know."
Chen Qing ignored his words and said to herself, "I think that Bai Shuisha must have been hurt by love in his lifetime, otherwise why would he set up such a perverted mechanism? We were all crossing the river together, but he still had to push someone into the water."
