Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 276: If one survives, there will be future fortunes

Views:

In a daze, Zhao Changhe forgot who had repeatedly emphasized that dual cultivation was not a magical technique, but only an auxiliary technique, and one should not place too much hope on or rely on it.

But every time I experience it, I always feel that dual cultivation is clearly a magical technique.

Especially in terms of healing, the effect is really good.

Although the chaotic and raging sword energy in the body could not be completely eliminated, it was slowly ground away and suppressed like a millstone in the rotation of the yin and yang energies, and was no longer so sharp and cutting.

The pain from the external injuries seemed to have subsided a lot, and one could almost feel the flesh and blood regenerating and gradually healing.

The exhausted meridians are nourished again, and the dry dantian starts to flow again, slowly nourishing the whole body, making it warm and extremely comfortable.

From body to mind...

To the soul.

The murderous spirit that had been unable to be suppressed and the backlash that could have erupted at any time gradually calmed down during this kiss, becoming less and less intense until it finally became calm.

Maybe it's not entirely the effect of dual cultivation, but also because they depend on each other and have the peace of mind of being relied upon, so it's naturally difficult for them to become violent.

In fact, a bad idea flashed through Zhao Changhe's mind - if the so-called evil spirit could not be suppressed, and he used this excuse to hold her down with red eyes, would she resist

There is a certain possibility that there will be no resistance.

At this time, the pain had healed a little and he had some strength again, so he started to think about that. Zhao Changhe had originally been leaning obediently on Yue Hongling's shoulder and getting kissed, but now his hands started to become naughty and he quietly hugged her waist.

Yue Hongling's waist stiffened slightly, but she did not struggle, instead she continued to breathe. She felt that this stinky brother still had a lot of knife energy in his body, and he needed to continue to be treated, so she couldn't give up at this time.

As a result, the hand began to rub and caress the waist.

Yue Hongling stood up angrily, grabbed Zhao Changhe's ears and lifted him up: "What can you do?"

Zhao Changhe drooped his shoulders and smiled apologetically, his eyes glancing at her exposed shoulders and arms, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This is what it means to be unable to help yourself.

It’s so beautiful... When the valiant and abstinent heroine began to half-cover herself, and when the fiery red dress turned into pure white, she became inexplicably very lustful and seductive.

She was clearly not doing anything, just standing there straight, but she was more alluring than any other posture.

Yue Hongling knew where he was looking at and kicked him viciously on the calf: "What kind of clothes did you buy? Did you do that on purpose?"

Zhao Changhe jumped up and down, "How could I know it would be like this? I searched for a long time but couldn't find any decent women's clothing. I even asked him to get men's ready-made clothing. God knows, men also wear clothes like this..."

Yue Hongling crossed her arms, not willing to believe it.

Zhao Changhe said angrily, "How could I know that I would end up in a deserted place with you? Would I let you dress like this in front of others? Even if you agree, I won't!"

Yue Hongling: “?”

Zhao Changhe: “…”

The two looked at each other for a moment, then turned their heads away at the same time.

Yue Hongling muttered in a low voice: "What I wear is none of your business. I can't not go out, right?"

Zhao Changhe rubbed his toes on the ground for a long time before saying, "Your old clothes can still be used after washing... Let me see this first..."

Yue Hongling stared at him speechlessly, and Zhao Changhe tilted his head even further away.

“Men, they are all like this in the end.” Yue Hongling finally laughed out loud and didn’t bother to pay attention to him: “Go and meditate to heal your wounds. We still need to explore this place. We don’t have the time to talk about this!”

After saying that, he left quickly as if escaping for his life, heading straight for the lakeshore. No one knew whether he was going to study the lake or just running around aimlessly.

Only then did Zhao Changhe feel that he was still quite tired and had no strength to muster.

He leaned back against the stone and looked inside himself. He knew that Yue Hongling was right. He should take advantage of the effect just now and use his energy to heal himself. Why think about it...

This kind of injury really cannot be healed so quickly. Just the excessive overdraft alone will take several days to recover slowly. If you want to find a way to restore your combat power immediately, you must find some treasure here.

This must be a place from the last era, a shattered dimensional fragment. There must be special items inside, either treasures, or skills, or simply some relics.

Zhao Changhe believed that those who survived a great disaster would be blessed in the future.

While Zhao Changhe was healing himself, Yue Hongling walked around the lake to observe. After walking for a long time, she realized that this was not the lakeshore, but an island in the lake... Surrounded by water on all sides, this was the only place to stay. It was very small and she returned to the starting point after walking for a while.

Yue Hongling stopped at the shore and frowned, looking into the distance. Judging from the situation, they couldn't even find a way out. With such a small island, let alone the necessities of survival, I'm afraid that in two days, there won't be enough grass and wood for burning...

Must explore outside.

If the exit is outside the real lakeshore, we can't even predict how far it is... We don't know which direction is the right way. The lake is as vast as the sea. How can two people find a way out

Yue Hongling looked at the lake in the distance with a hazy look in his eyes. The lake was windless, vast and quiet, and even the sound of water could not be heard. It looked like a dead silent space. Yes, it was originally a dead silent place, but because he was by her side, it felt like a home.

Just as I was thinking this, I felt my waist tighten, and I felt the familiar touch of Zhao Changhe's arms coming from behind and hugging me gently.

This posture is very familiar. He had hugged me like this before in Yangzhou.

At that time, I said, "I really want to hold you, just for a while..."

That had already been his confession. His pursuit was obvious. It was no longer just a rumor spread by others. He had made it public to the world in front of the talented men in Yangzhou.

I didn’t make any money back then, what about now

Yue Hongling silently realized that she had no intention of breaking free. Instead, no matter how he held her, she could feel his attachment and reliance on her.

She slowly relaxed her strength, leaned back softly against his chest, and whispered, "How is the recovery?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I feel a little weak, but I have no problem with basic movements."

Yue Hongling said: "I am almost there... In my current state, it is difficult to cross the sea or dive deep to find an exit. It is a problem to get out."

Zhao Changhe hummed but didn't say anything else.

Yue Hongling asked, "You only brought a few days' worth of dry food with you. Don't you think you'll die here?"

Zhao Changhe smiled and rested his chin on her shoulder: "I am happy to die with you..."

Yue Hongling said sternly: "Don't try to be so rude. You have so many beauties..."

She stopped talking halfway through. It felt very un-Yue Hongling and a little embarrassing to be jealous of others.

Zhao Changhe did not respond, but said: "But I don't want you to die here. Don't worry, I don't think it's that easy for us to die."

Yue Hongling asked: "Why?"

"It's very simple. If we were unlucky, we would have fallen directly onto the island and died, or we would have fallen further away and drowned. How could we have fallen near the island and let us survive?"

Yue Hongling said unhappily: "It's just a coincidence that shouldn't have happened. Look how inexplicably confident you are."

"When I was most helpless, I lived because of you... As long as you are by my side, I have infinite confidence."

Yue Hongling felt a little nervous and turned her head slightly to look at him.

In the darkness, Zhao Changhe's eyes were serious, staring at her without blinking, and he whispered, "I like you since the first time I saw this world. They say you are a lonely wild goose under the setting sun, but you are the eternal moonlight in my heart."

Yue Hongling's eyes gradually became sparkling.

When he was in Yangzhou, he was very straightforward. He was obviously a stinky bear who wouldn't pursue girls. How could he speak so nicely now

"I finally embraced the moonlight in my arms, how could I let it go so easily?" Zhao Changhe lowered his head and took the initiative to kiss Yue Hongling's lips for the first time in his life: "I am not worried, I just feel at ease."

Yue Hongling pulled her hand out, stretched out a finger and placed it between their lips, and whispered, "Is this all you can think about when you are faced with such a big event? Or do you know you can't get out and just want to indulge yourself first?"

Zhao Changhe asked: "Why do you look at me like this?"

Yue Hongling said: "I think you should know the difference between the important and the unimportant. If you are confident, I want to listen to your judgment, not these empty sweet words and take the opportunity to flirt with me."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "This is very simple. First of all, judging from the stone formation outside, the shelter outside is man-made, which shows that someone has been here before. Regardless of whether this person is from the last era or this era, at least it proves that there is an exit, which gives us peace of mind."

"And then?"

"Secondly, the aura here is overflowing. A few years ago, Master Yuan Xing sensed the special aura here and judged that it was similar to the aura of the Wang family's sea mud that I absorbed not long ago, so it can be known that they have the same source. I don't know where this source comes from for the time being, but it can prove that the things inside have not been taken away, at least not all of them have been taken away. And this thing is not far from the exit or entrance, so the aura is overflowing and can be sensed."

Yue Hongling also thought of it: "In other words, either we can find something rare nearby that may help us recover. Or we can follow the aura and find the exit."

"Yes, I have absorbed this thing before, so I am more sensitive to this aura. I can't sense it now because I am too weak. It will be fine after I recover a bit... In short, whether this thing is near here or near the exit, it is hope. Why should I worry so much?"

"… "

"Compared to worrying about those things, I am more anxious to recover some strength, whether for recovery or for diving... I think the thing is very likely on the bottom of the sea, not around. My current strength is not enough to hold my breath for too long. I need to recover a little more, and I hope the recovery won't be too slow."

Zhao Changhe spoke slowly, his lips lightly touching and pecking the fingers she held in front of her.

Yue Hongling withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and said angrily: "If you want to recover, take some medicine and meditate. Why are you still flirting with me?"

"But..." Zhao Changhe continued to lower his head and slowly kissed her lips: "This is also for healing, sister..."

Yue Hongling sighed inwardly, finally closed her eyes, leaned her back in his arms, turned her head and closed her eyes, and followed him.
