Chapter 82: Candlelight Ghost
Facing the teasing of the Qingyi Lady, Li Daoxuan smiled and said shamelessly: "Who told me that I am the Lady's man?"
"I don't know why, but I feel close to you when I look at you. If I had a sister, she might be as beautiful as you and treat me just as well."
The oil-paper umbrella in the corner quietly moved away from him, as if to keep a distance from this shameless flatterer.
Lady in Green was speechless. Sister?
At her age, she could be the elder sister of Li Daoxuan’s ancestors.
This guy has no shame...
But to be honest, even Lady Qingyi couldn't help but smile when she heard Li Daoxuan say that she looked like his sister.
It's better than being called ancestor.
No woman likes to be emphasized about her age, even by a ghost, fairy or god.
"Stop talking nonsense. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Li Daoxuan put away his smile, sat up straight and said, "My Lady, I have encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation of the Earth Element Chapter. No matter how hard I try, I can't make any progress..."
After hearing Li Daoxuan's confusion, the green-clothed lady smiled faintly and said, "The Great Five Elements Escape Technique is difficult and obscure. The first level requires the initial cultivation of five escape techniques, and among these five escape techniques, the earth element technique is the most difficult."
Li Daoxuan nodded. Ju Liusun was good at earth-moving techniques, so it was reasonable that the Earth-moving chapter was the most difficult.
"If you want to master the Earth Path Chapter, enlightenment alone is not enough. You need to experience it yourself."
See for yourself...
A light bulb went off in Li Daoxuan's mind, as if he had opened up some new ideas.
"My lady, are you asking me to..."
Lady Qingyi nodded and smiled, "Yes."
"But...will it be dangerous?"
"No venture, no gain."
After saying this, Lady Qingyi didn't want to argue with this guy anymore and walked away in anger.
Li Daoxuan murmured to himself, as if he had realized something.
"No venture, no gain..."
"Never mind, let's try it first."
He walked into the yard, his hair fell, and he turned into a clone.
Li Daoxuan nodded at him, then took out the Chixia Sword and started digging. After a while, a deep pit appeared in the yard.
It looks a lot like a tomb.
The clone lay down in it consciously and asked him, "How does it feel to bury yourself?"
Li Daoxuan threw the dirt on his face and said with a smile, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."
He quickly buried the place, stepped on it a few times, and waited silently.
What Lady Qing Yi meant was that he should go into the soil himself and experience the feeling of being buried in the earth.
He thought this method was good, but too dangerous. After all, although he could hold his breath for a long time, if he really suffocated, it would be too late to dig.
Therefore, the clone goes first!
After waiting for a while, Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
The clone has been suffocated to death!
As for the feelings... apart from the pain of suffocation, there is nothing else.
The Earth Element Chapter has still not been completed.
Is the Green Lady teasing me? Or is it that only the real body can understand?
Li Daoxuan thought of the Empress' words again, "You can't get a tiger cub without risking it."
A moment later.
Li Daoxuan personally lay down in the pit and said to Chen Ziyu above: "Sister Yu, bury it!"
There was some hesitation in Chen Ziyu's eyes.
"Sister Yu, don't worry. I have just calculated the time. I can hold my breath for about an incense stick. When that incense stick is burned out, no matter whether I have mastered the Earth Element Chapter or not, you can dig it directly!"
This was also Li Daoxuan's confidence. He placed incense nearby to calculate the time and ensure that everything would be foolproof.
Under his urging, Chen Ziyu had to bury the soil.
As the sand continued to cover his face, Li Daoxuan held his breath. His vision became darker and darker, his body became heavier and heavier, and finally he was completely plunged into darkness.
…
On the ground, Chen Ziyu stared at the burning incense, ready to rescue Li Daoxuan at any time.
Time passed by little by little, and the smoke floated into the air like a white ribbon and slowly dissipated. After an unknown amount of time, the incense stick had burned two-thirds.
There was still no movement underground.
There was a hint of worry in Chen Ziyu's eyes.
She didn't notice that a candle in the room suddenly jumped and turned into a green flame, which was very eerie.
And the incense slowly went out.
It didn't burn out completely and suddenly went out when one third of it was left.
However, Chen Ziyu, who should have noticed something was wrong immediately, just stood there quietly, her wedding dress fluttering and her long black hair flying, without any movement.
…
Li Daoxuan didn't know how long he had been holding his breath. He just felt like his lungs were about to explode and his brain began to feel dizzy.
Is it possible that the incense stick hasn’t burned out yet?
After entering the middle stage of fasting, his qi and blood became vigorous , his physical fitness greatly improved, and his ability to hold his breath was several times stronger than that of ordinary people. However, he still needed to breathe and could not achieve fetal breathing.
As time went by, he could feel his body becoming weaker and weaker, and he desperately wanted to breathe fresh air.
However, Sister Yu has not come to dig yet.
Li Daoxuan's face had turned purple, his lips were pale, his face was swollen, and the blood vessels in his neck were bulging, which was very scary.
These are all signs of impending death from suffocation.
Sister Yu still didn't move.
Li Daoxuan gritted his teeth and decided to break free by himself no matter what!
This was the backup plan he prepared for himself. The pit he dug was not deep, and there was not much soil. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to get out. However, he was a cultivator in the middle stage of Qigong, with amazing strength, and the soil could not hold him down.
Li Daoxuan began to exert force, trying to sit up.
But soon he felt like he was falling into an abyss, because no matter how hard he tried, his body did not move at all, as if what was pressing down on him was not soil, but a mountain!
Even if you have the strength to lift a tripod, how can you move mountains?
As he struggled desperately, his face turned increasingly purple, his movements became smaller and smaller, and his strength receded like a tide, until he finally stopped moving completely...
On the ground, no one knew how much time had passed since the incense stick went out.
Chen Ziyu still stood there, her expression cold and unmoved.
At some point, the sky was filled with dark clouds and a heavy rain was about to fall.
Boom!
As a thunder roared, heavy rain poured down, and the candlelight in the house flickered again, changing from blue to a normal flame.
Chen Ziyu was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
Suddenly, she quickly turned her head to look at the incense, only to find that the incense stopped burning when it was one-third of the way through, as if it had been wet by the rain .
The ground was already muddy.
Looking around, Li Daoxuan did not come out.
An inexplicable fear shrouded her heart, as if she had lost something most precious.
Fear, fear, self-blame, shame...
All kinds of emotions intertwined in her heart, burning her heart like a raging fire.
She couldn't understand why she suddenly lost her focus just now?
Mud splashes!
She ran over and dug the ground frantically, her delicate hands covered in mud.
Soon she dug a big hole where Li Daoxuan was buried, but it was empty, with nothing inside...
