Xun Shuang was lying on her back in the crystal coffin, wearing a white middle coat. Due to the ice barrier, her facial features were a little blurry, but it could still be seen that her appearance had not changed much from four thousand years ago.
The connection between the coffin lid and the coffin slot is not very tight, and Xunshuang only wore the middle coat instead of the witch robe. From these two points, it can be seen that Xunshuang had expected that the lake water would seep into the crystal coffin before falling asleep. .
Knowing that water would enter the crystal coffin but not trying to stop it means that Xun Shuang deliberately let the lake water seep into the crystal coffin, and the freezing of water in the coffin also shows this. If the water seepage occurred after Xun Shuang fell into sleep, she would not be able to do so. It emits cold air that freezes standing water.
In other words, Xun Shuang deliberately let the external lake water enter the crystal coffin, and then sent out cold air to freeze the accumulated water before falling asleep, thereby creating a stable sleeping condition for himself.
Compared to the others who took medicine to fall asleep, Xun Shuang's approach was more cautious. She used the characteristics of her aura to add an extra layer of insurance to herself on top of relying on the power of medicine. The combination of sleeping and freezing ensured that she could survive for four thousand years. .
Facts have proved that Xun Shuang's approach was correct, and she is still alive. It is also very simple to determine whether she is alive, just extend her spiritual energy through the ice to check if there is still a glimmer of life in her heart.
After confirming that Xun Shuang was still alive, Wu Dongfang withdrew his spiritual energy. He had recovered his cultivation at this time and could use his own spiritual energy to activate Xun Shuang at any time. However, he did not immediately break the ice to save people. Instead, he forcibly restrained the excitement in his heart and cautiously It is not easy for Xun Shuang to last until now by carefully considering every detail. We must not let all our previous efforts go to waste just because of a mistake in a few details.
He thought about the various effects of ice on the human body, the various reactions she might have after activating Xun Shuang, and even the changes in the atmosphere over the past four thousand years. After repeated deliberation, Wu Dongfang moved the crystal coffin to a cool place, leaving it at any time. The ice inside the coffin melts on its own.
The faster it freezes, the better. The faster it freezes, the more vitality it can retain. But when thawing, the slower the better. The slower the thawing speed, the longer the buffer time for the human body to adapt to the external environment.
During the entire thawing process, Wu Dongfang would stretch out his spiritual energy every few minutes to check the situation of Xunshuang. Natural thawing cannot make people wake up on their own. External stimulation must be given at critical moments. The commonly used method at present is electric shock, but Electric shock is just a simple external stimulus and cannot activate vitality in a targeted manner. However, there is spiritual energy in his body. At critical moments, it can not only activate the weak vitality in Xun Shuang's body, but also help her to run spiritual energy.
The crystal coffin was fished out of the water around ten o'clock, and it was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the ice in the crystal coffin completely melted. This was the result of his intervention. During the process, he sent out water spiritual energy to slow down the melting of the ice, thereby delaying the thaw. time, delaying the thawing to the night, firstly, it can reduce the stimulation of Xunshuang's eyes by external light, and secondly, it can reduce the temperature difference before and after awakening, and do everything possible to increase Xunshuang's chance of survival after awakening.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wu Dongfang removed part of the ice water in the coffin, exposed Xun Shuang's face above the water, and made preparations. He aimed his left hand at Xun Shuang's heart, and quickly emitted water spiritual energy to directly attack the heart. Fight.
When the aura reached it, Xun Shuang's heart immediately began to beat. Wu Dongfang did not dare to relax. He felt Xun Shuang's heartbeat through the air with his left hand, and moved his right hand to the sea of Qi of Xun Shuang, using the water aura to induce Xun Shuang's own water aura to travel along the meridians.
Tens of seconds later, Wu Dongfang noticed that the spiritual energy in Xun Shuang's body had a certain movement trajectory. He was familiar with the Qi training method of the Shui tribe. Based on the movement trajectory of the spiritual energy in Xun Shuang's body, he judged that she had set her own spiritual energy movement trajectory before falling asleep. In order to emit cold air, with the movement of spiritual energy, Xun Shuang's hands automatically emitted cold air, and the ice water in the coffin began to refreeze.
Realizing this, Wu Dongfang stepped on the wall of the crystal coffin and completely drained out the ice water. At the same time, he continued to send out spiritual energy to help Xun Shuang clear his meridians.
Three minutes later, Xun Shuang's heartbeat became rapid and chaotic. Seeing this, Wu Dongfang hurriedly picked him up from the coffin, carried him on his left shoulder, and patted his back hard with his right hand.
Along with several violent coughs, Xun Shuang spit out a few mouthfuls of ice water stuck in his throat, and his breathing immediately became smoother.
"I'm here, don't be afraid, I'm here." Wu Dongfang whispered, Xun Shuang was not completely awake at this time, and was in confusion and confusion, so he must be comforted.
At this time, Xun Shuang could not move his spiritual energy on his own, nor could he regulate his body temperature. He was trembling all over while breathing quickly. Wu Dongfang's Qi traveled through the Heart Meridian, raising his own body temperature to keep Xun Shuang warm.
In fact, all he did was to be on the safe side. Even if he directly broke the ice to save people, he should be able to save them, but he didn't dare to take risks. All his relatives and friends were dead, and only this last one was left. He couldn't do it anyway. Lost again.
Under Wu Dongfang's comfort and the warmth of his body temperature, Xun Shuang's breathing gradually stabilized, and after a few minutes he let out a low voice, "Put me down."
Upon hearing this, Wu Dongfang carefully placed Xun Shuang on the ground. He did not completely withdraw his hands, but always held Xun Shuang's back neck and shoulders to make her breathe easier.
Xun Shuang had opened her eyes at this time, but her eyes were lifeless. Although she was awake, she was not completely awake.
"Don't think about anything now, take your time, don't be anxious." Although Wu Dongfang was excited, he tried to control his tone so that his tone was natural and relaxed.
"Xunshuang, do you know who I am?" Wu Dongfang asked with a smile.
"Wu Dongfang." Xun Shuang said with a smile. Her smile was not conscious. If she were conscious, she might not smile because it is not her style to speak like this.
"Yes, it's me." Wu Dongfang smiled and nodded.
"I'm so tired." Xun Shuang looked tired.
"Concentrate your spiritual energy and concentrate your mind." Wu Dongfang said softly. Not to mention sleeping for four thousand years, even a few months of dormancy would cause mental disorder. It would be difficult to reorganize his thoughts and retrieve his memory in a short period of time.
When Xun Shuang settled down, Wu Dongfang left, found some grass and trees, and lit a bonfire. There were more than one bonfires, but one on each side, so that Xun Shuang could recover his body temperature faster.
The condensation water tank boiled half a tank of hot water. When the water temperature dropped to forty degrees, Wu Dongfang gave Xun Shuang a few sips.
After drinking water, Xun Shuang felt a little energetic and asked, "Where is this?"
"This is the border of the Shui Tribe. You chose this place as your hiding place back then." Wu Dongfang said.
Xun Shuang didn't ask again. Her mind was confused and her thinking was intermittently.
"Don't think about it. I'll tell you what happened." In order to prevent Xun Shuang from recalling the details, Wu Dongfang didn't talk about the small things, only the big ones. "After I left, you went to the West and brought back the copper coins from ancient Greece." Pan, when you come back, you will each find a place to sleep and wait for me to wake you up."
"Yes." Xun Shuang nodded.
"I found you, don't worry, you need to rest now, I'm here to accompany you." Wu Dongfang comforted softly, especially caring for children.
Xun Shuang nodded slowly and closed his eyes again, "Where are the others?"
Wu Dongfang felt very sad when he heard this and did not answer.
Xun Shuang didn't notice anything unusual and quickly fell asleep.
Wu Dongfang got up again and went to look for firewood to ensure that the bonfire burned vigorously.
At two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, Xun Shuang woke up, but she was still not quite sober. Wu Dongfang told the Shui Tribe's qi-moving methods several times. After drinking water, I started meditating and practicing Qi.
While Xun Shuang was meditating, Wu Dongfang kept talking in a low voice, talking about the past. Starting from the conflict between the Tu tribe and the Shui tribe, to mention the most important thing, a long sleep is very likely to cause amnesia, and Xun Shuang cannot recover it by himself. Memory must provide her with a big context to help her recover her memory.
Around five o'clock in the morning, Xun Shuang regained her memory. This can be seen from her expression. When she was in chaos, her expression was confused and confused, but now her expression was a slight frown on her brows, and the corners of her mouth were Pick, this is her usual expression, which is more serious.
"How is your cultivation?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"The spiritual energy is lacking, but the cultivation level is not reduced." Xun Shuang did not open his eyes.
"That's good, you stay here, I'll find some clothes for you, and then some food to bring back." Wu Dongfang said, Xun Shuang's clothes had become crispy after drying and were unwearable.
Xun Shuang nodded.
Wu Dongfang Tu escaped and headed to a town hundreds of miles away in the southeast. At this time, the shopping mall was not open yet. He walked through the wall and took back a set of women's clothes and some food.
By the time he came back, Xun Shuang had stopped meditating and was sitting by the fire, stirring the fire with a wooden stick.
"These are clothes worn by modern women, just make do with them." Wu Dongfang handed the bag of clothes to Xun Shuang.
Xun Shuang opened the bag and took out the clothes. She was not someone who cared about clothes. Although she didn't like them, she didn't reject them either.
"How long have you been back?" Xun Shuang did not shy away from Wu Dongfang when she was changing clothes. She knew that Wu Dongfang would turn around.
"More than ten days." Wu Dongfang turned his back to Xun Shuang.
"How many days are left before the Eight Stars Continuously Become?" Xun Shuang asked.
"Six days." Wu Dongfang said.
"Six days?!" Xun Shuang was shocked.
Wu Dongfang nodded.
"You spent more than ten days looking for me?" Xun Shuang asked.
Wu Dongfang didn't answer.
"How to use this thing?" Xun Shuang asked.
Wu Dongfang turned around when he heard the sound and saw that Xun Shuang had put on modern clothes, a black women's suit. Xun Shuang likes to wear black, and black clothes are mostly professional attire.
Xun Shuang was holding a belt in his hand. Wu Dongfang walked over to give a demonstration and helped Xun Shuang tie up her loose hair. He didn't know how to do hair, so he tied it into a ponytail.
"Do you know where they are hiding?" Xun Shuang asked.
Wu Dongfang nodded.
"Time is running out, let's set off immediately to wake them up," Xun Shuang said.
Wu Dongfang did not respond.
Seeing that Wu Dongfang didn't respond, Xun Shuang frowned and tilted his head, looking at him doubtfully.
"No need to go." Wu Dongfang shook his head slowly.
"What happened?" Xun Shuang was keenly aware of the abnormality.
"They are gone, only the two of us are left..."
