"Scream...what, I can't die."

Li Yang gritted his teeth and inhale, lay on the ground without moving, just gasping:

"I'm just tired, let me take a break."

Liuli was a little helpless, suddenly remembered something, got up and returned to the lotus platform, holding the bottles of golden sore medicine.

He bit his lip, as if he had made a great determination, and recited:

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Then, he carefully tore a piece of Taoist robe at the wound with his fingers, poured out clean water from the jade bottle and rinsed it clean, applied medicine, hesitated for a while, and tore off a piece of it from the hem of the white robe.

Help him bandage.

During the process, Li Yang lay down and didn't move, just muttering:

"Ha, if you know it to the people of the world, the Buddhist Bodhisattva Liuli bandaged me this traitor and didn't know how interesting it would be. Hiss... Why is your hand so cold?"

Liuli paused and pulled her hand back, her face regained a emotionless expression, and said lightly:

"It seems that it's just skin trauma."

Turning around and returning to the lotus platform.

Li Yang got up, breathed, and said:

"After all the time, I was struggling all the way. Can the sword cultivator crawling out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood really be broken into the hands of a few thieves?"

"Then? Don't say that your injury was caused by fighting with the practitioner." Liuli said sarcastically.

She had seen it, and the wound was clearly an ordinary sword.

Li Yang choked and sighed helplessly:

"There is no way, it's cold and I fought with a group of bandits in order to compete for some meat and cotton coats. The recovery of cultivation is too slow, and I can't beat four hands by myself."

Liuli was silent for a moment and said:

"I'll be with you next time I go out. These days, I have accumulated a little spiritual essence. Although it's not much, it should be enough to deal with a few mortals. I can also wrap myself in a cotton coat to cover my appearance."

Li Yang looked at her in surprise, smiled, and refused:

"Let's talk about it. Fortunately, I got a lot of meat this time. I can hold on for a few more days and wait for me to recover from my injuries."

Liuli sat cross-legged and closed her eyes, and her black hair reflected her luster in the fire.

...

Day 15.

Heavy snow sealed the wellhead and the food was exhausted.

This time the two decided to travel together. The two wrapped in cotton coats stepped on the lotus platform and walked out of the wellhead. What came towards them was the cold wind as cold as a knife.

“Woo woo…”

The cold wind was howling, Liuli's hair, the lower half of her face was wrapped in cloth, and only a pair of eyes was exposed. This was the first time she had climbed out of the well in half a month.

As you see, the temple back hall covered with snow, covered with collapsed walls and trees everywhere.

Many plants were still green, so they were buried in heavy snow.

"Let's go, change direction this time and walk to the village below. In order to resist the disaster year, some landlords will dig cellars at their own homes to store grain, hoping that they have not been plundered yet." Li Yang said in a muffled voice.

Holding the hilt of the sword, he walked in front of him, Liuli pursed her lips and walked to follow.

The two walked down the mountain and walked along the mountain road washed away by the flood. They had difficulty walking. Fortunately, they were lucky this time and did not encounter any bandits.

In other words, the heavy snowfall for more than ten days, the bandits escaped and died, or they stayed in a place and did not come out, which made her feel relieved.

However, along the way, some people's corpses were found in the snow pit from time to time. Liuli became more and more silent, but Li Yang was not surprised.

Finally, when the two arrived at the villa, they were disappointed to find that they had been looted.

A dozen people in the landlord's family died tragically, and the places with many flesh were cut open. Liuli was shocking to see it. Finally, he realized that "the year is famine, people eat each other" is not only a few words in the book, but also a cruel reality.

.

"Stop watching, let's go. We have to find some food before dark. It's even colder at night and the cotton coat can't stop it." Li Yang said to her.

The two of them walked in another direction silently, and this time, perhaps because of the favor of the Heavenly Way, two great monks of the "Sighting Heaven Realm" unexpectedly found a frozen donkey under a collapsed building.

"I'm lucky, and I'm also in the way of this snow, otherwise the meat would be eaten up by the wolf even if it didn't rot." Li Yang said with a smile.

The two of them worked together to drag the donkey out of the bricks and stones, cut it into several pieces with swords, put it in a bag, and then pulled it on the snow with hemp rope, which was more labor-saving.

On the way back, Liuli suddenly said:

"I didn't help this time, so I'll barbecue today."

Li Yang looked at her in surprise: "Isn't it considered breaking the precept?"

Liuli's voice was indifferent: "I stole it and ate it, but I still have three precepts that have not been broken."

Li Yang looked at her and suddenly asked, "Is the beef delicious?"

"Not delicious." Liuli replied.

Li Yang stared at her with a smile: "I remember that Buddhism quarrels, so-called monks do not lie. Do you really think it is not delicious? Or are you lying?"

Under the thick cotton coat, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he heard a crack breaking through the Zen heart.

She turned her head silently without answering.

On the fifteenth day, the precepts of lying are broken.

...

Time continues to pass, and then another half month has passed.

The two went out to "hunter" again. After using it for a day, they found a cellar that was not robbed and brought back a lot of food. This was a rare comfort in the boring days.

Until early morning of the 36th, Li Yang woke up and was stunned when he looked at the lotus platform.

Liuli raised her hand and tied her black hair on her cheeks and looked at him:

"What are you looking at?"

Li Yang frowned and said:

"Why is your face so pale? It seems like a layer of cold air is shrouded in it."

Liuli froze for a moment, walked back to the lotus platform, and resumed her posture of meditating cross-legged:

"nothing."

Li Yang frowned and said:

"I don't know how long the cold winter will last. Your and my injuries are still recovering slowly. We have to work together to survive. The most taboo thing at this time is to conceal it."

On the lotus platform, the Bodhisattva, who was fluttering in white clothes and barefoot as snow, was silent and said:

"I'm poisoned."

"What poison?"

"The Venom of the Snake Demon King." Liuli said calmly, "They sneak attacked me that day. The spiritual snake released by the Snake Demon King broke through my Vajra cover and bit me."

The Snake Clan Demon King...Li Yang's face darkened and he said with a serious expression:

"If I remember correctly, the other party's poison is called "Ice and Fire Calamity". When the poison breaks out, you first experience the cold catastrophe for half a month, and then the fire catastrophe for half a month, which is repeated. During this period, the pain is too great. But why hasn't it been in the past half a month?

attack?"

Liuli looked calm:

"I have taken Buddhist lotus seeds to resist toxicity. I wanted to resolve it, but my cultivation level has been unable to recover. I finally came to suppress it until today. However, with lotus seeds, I should not be poisoned to death, and it will be more uncomfortable at most.

Tonight I will start to retreat and suppress the toxicity.”

Li Yang breathed heavily and said:

"Okay. I will protect the Dharma for you."

Neither of them noticed that there was something wrong with this conversation. It was clear that the righteous strong man and the human traitor who were fighting for life and death half a month ago seemed to have forgotten it now.

That night.

Li Yang cut a lot of firewood from the Zen temple and threw it around the lotus platform to light it, heating the stone platform.

And cover all the cotton coats on the glaze.

But when the "cold poison" broke out, the originally resolute and indifferent female Bodhisattva still trembled all over her body in pain. The biting coldness seemed to pierce every inch of her skin, flesh and blood.

Even the soul is about to be frozen, and the whole beautiful face is white and almost transparent, as if you can see every light blue blood vessel under the skin.

"If my cultivation level is still there, I should be able to use Lihuo True Idea to help you resist."

Li Yang stood beside the lotus platform, staring at the thick quilt wrapped in a thick quilt, curled up into a ball of glaze, and said tiredly.

The meaning of the Taoist name "Li Yang" is that the sword technique he practiced is called "Li Huo True Meaning", which can exert the brilliance of the sun and ignite the sword fire, which is the spiritual essence of the most yang.

Liuli shook her head in pain, without the strength to speak.
