Lin tian in this mysterious place had nothing to do but read and practice .
After trying out the method written in book .
He felt nothing .
ofcourse it was because Methods were incomplete and were more like introduction to these techniques.
If he could read other pages .He may get a clue .But Even after turning and tossing this book .it still didn't had anything new .
So he just thought of cleaning the house .And various chores .
After hours of working . Everything was set in place and looked comfortable to the eyes .
Lin tian also brought chair outside to clean in water .
Wait a minute water .lin tian thought of something.Aftee bringing book out .He held it above square water pit .
In the reflection some words appeared on book .Lin tian read them .Than after rotating the book.There was nothing new .
But when lin tian turned pages .He could read 2nd and 3rd page of book in reflection.
Opening it from front he read Body strengthening method .
From backside he read qi guiding method .
Lin tian first cleaned everything with water .After some water wash .The hut didn't look much old .
Finding nothing to do .He sat down in meditative state . After using his understanding he followed book method .
After hours of repetitive trial .He didn't felt anything.Although he was not exhausted physically.
His mind felt tired . Though he didn't felt thirst .The desire to taste water was bubbling inside him .
After drinking water like liquid.he felt refreshed .Filling the bowl of water .he placed it near himself .
Trying again as book said .He would try to enter meditative state .After entering meditation he would try to guide the nonexistent qi to his heart .
Felling tired he would drink water .Though he wasn't tired physically.
Lin tian after many repetition.Found out He would feel a cool sensation moving in his body after drinking water .
Lin tian continued entering meditation.And trying to move qi as Book described .
Many unknown hours passed .Lin tian had to fill water again .But for some reason the water in the pit didn't decrease.
Lin tian after checking the place again .
Shuffling the dirt in the fields .
Entered meditative state again .
After many tries .He finally guided the cool sensation to his heart .but failed to make it to the brain .
But since he was somewhat successful.lin tian gained hope .
After what seemed to be endless tries.lin tian finally managed to guide the cool sensation.starting from stomach to heart and than to mind .lin tian was finally successful.
Than next should be guiding it to various organs and make a full circulation inside body .
Though he hadn't read book .He could guess somewhat .
With new insights lin tian entered meditative state again.
After facing many failures .lin tian finally succeeded one time .He guided the cool sensation to head,neck ,arms,lungs ,kidneys and than to the legs . finally guided it back to heart again and than to stomach .
So it's like a blood circulation within body .
Lin tian tried again & again to get used to the method.
********
It was at night .when Elder qiang finally caught up to the lin group .After waking up he had hurried .without eating anything or stopping to rest .
When he saw downtrodden faces lin disciples he had bad premonition in his heart .
Although the camp was setup . There were no signs of activity a group should have .
"What happened?why are your faces down "
Seeing the Elder coming .Females cried out and told their grievances.
When Elder qiang got to know .They were robbed .He lost expression on his face.
This was bad .This trip was failure .
No this trip wasn't just failure .they had made so many losses .It will take many years to recover .
Even I have to face punishment going back .
"We can't change what has already happened.It's good thing all of you are safe .
I am partially to be blamed for what happened.you all don't have to worry .You won't face any criticism.i will take responsibility for it ."Elder qiang said his consoling words .
"For now go back and rest in your camps .we still have to jouney tomorrow.Also prepare food if anyone hasn't eaten.Eaten is necessary for body . regardless of mood "
"Yes elder .Today we didn't make food .everyone was in bad mood .And no one wanted to eat "females said and left to prepare food .
Elder qiang said to males .
"Take this trip as lesson .No matter how much good you are within clan .Outside no one cares about you .When coming to face danger .your status won't help .only your strength will be your support.That's why don't stop becoming stronger . Don't bear the incident as trauma .but a lesson to fuel your strength."
Elder qiang comforted males disciples .
After that he thought about the other group .who saved the disciples.They might be related to Hua bo .But Elder had made no such preprations.
So they might be an unknown group .He had no idea who could they be .other than Hua bo he couldn't think of any possibility.
Next time I come back .I will ask him
***
Lin tian had practiced the qi guiding method countless time .
He had become proficient at it .And could circulate the cool sensation in his body .without failure .
Waking up he tried to drink water again .
But suddenly dizziness came over him .His figure rippled and water bowl fell with a sound .
Clunk!
The water inside spilled on wooden floor .
Lin tian closed his eyes as his head hit wooden wall .
********
Lin tian opened his eyes in an unfamiliar room .
On the floor he lay sprawled.His face touching the floor .
The scenery was totally different from mysterious place he was before.
Turning over He looked at the high ceiling .Black walls .This room had minimum light source .
But he could atleast make out some things.
Standing up he patted his clothes .only to realise he was naked . Totally naked .Not even wearing underwear.His thing was dangling between his legs .
Than he touched the walls. Of this room .He. Ignored the coffin in the center for now .
Touching the walls .he realised every wall had some kinds of pattern on them .Even the ceiling had patterns .
He found a small puddle of shining water .in the corner .its water was flowing to the coffin.
What surprised him was This water was exactly same as in crop fields of mysterious place .
Even the refreshing feeling that came after drinking it was same .
After checking everything and understanding nothing .it was time to check coffin .
'i hope it's not something dead ,corpse or skull or some monster '
Just in case .he shouted .
'Hello 'anybody here' but no reply came .
Coffins was placed on some altar like thing .4 feets above from floor.From upside it was completely transparent .And everything was visible inside .
Lin tian carefully got closer.
After taking a look his breath was taken away .His ears turned red .He covered
his eyes with hands .
In the coffin lay a naked woman .
An absolute beautiful woman .
A ancient beauty without a match .
She had willowy eyebrows, cherry red lips popped over her pale skin, and a cascading waterfall of hair descended all the way to her waist.
The young woman appeared like a fairy from out of this world.
Her figure was like she had already received everything from heaven as gifts to become most beautiful woman on earth .
Her body was half submerged in Shining liquid .which acted as a background to highlight her beauty her curves and abundant chest .
Most importantly she was naked . completely naked without a shrewd of coverence .
Lin tian had taken a quick look at everything.
Even now when he covered his eyes .He was attracted and wanted to see her more .
Slightly creating a gap between his fingers .He took a quick look at her face .just when his face tilted to move down .He turned his head .Lin tian could feel his blood rush increase.Even the thing between his legs was reacting .
Suddenly he had a thought of coiling her body around his .Embrace her so tight that wind couldn't pass.just like a snakes .
His nose leaked a drop of blood .
Lin tian could tell his body was heating up .If he didn't calm down .He won't able to face himself .
Thinking nothing more .He tried to enter a meditative state .But his mind was not calm enough to enter meditation .
He stood up again and took a look at her face .He didn't move his face not one inch not a centimetre.He just kept looking at her face .
'Lin tian oh lin tian 'you cannot think about Her like this .'He said to himself.
After he thought he had enough.He sat down to enter meditative state .Doing a circulation of cool sensation within his body .
He stood up .Coming closer to coffin again.
"Beautiful,you are really so beautiful what are you doing here "
Lin tian kept asking questions but no answer came .
"Who left you here .leaving you sleeping "
'wait sleeping 'A thought struck him .
He had to confirm something.He slightly turned his gaze down .
'I am not looking at you with bad intentions.i just need to confirm something.'
His gaze trailed her mouth .Her chin .Her white neck .
Her collarbone and finally her chest .
Looking down he saw her baby jade falling down .Lin tian kept looking at it .but saw no movement for a while .
'is she maybe dead ' .But Her body is just like alive without any signs of decay .
He was thinking .when he finally saw her baby jades moving up again .
Lin tian kept observing Her chest for a long time .
'She is definitely alive 'it is just that .
Her heartbeat has been slowed to 10minutes per beat .How ? and why ? Let's just add it to list of unanswered questions.
Looking further down .ehmm even more further down .he noticed .Her legs had cracked hexagonal pattern on it .From thighs to toe there were numerous small & big cracked marks .some marks big enough to look sinews and veins inside .On a great beauty like her it was a great blemish .Hmm I haven't noticed something like this .so I don't remember it being there .lin tian refreshed his memory .in which he hadn't seen her legs .
But he had seen a naked girl now .In a full view .It was just to confirm.if she is alive .
But I have already seen her .
No let's ignore it .Treat it as normal .
A man and woman completely naked in a hidden sealed chamber .seeing each other is perfectly normal .yup normal indeed.
Like hell it's normal.
Lin tian paced back and forth .Forget it why I should be worried about things I can't control.
To begin with is she leiting old man's daughter.if she is indeed .Than I don't think it matters much . Wasn't she essentially his property.
Thinking so .
He started spending time in sealed chamber .sometimes talking ,meditating or even look for exist inside the chamber .he didn't know how many hours or days passed .but could only guess .
To pass time .
He would spend time talking with the girl .Even if the girl didn't respond he continued.Infact lin tian felt that was the best part .Lin tian could throw whatever talk ,theory or concept at her .He could say whatever he wanted And she couldn't deny it .
Just when he would feel bored of talking .He will just take a look at her naked body .His body would get excited .Than to calm his mind .He would meditate and do the circulation.
He repeated this cycle numerous times .
Sometimes he would feel guilty for looking at her body .so he would ask her for forgiveness.Than other times he would just say .She was his property.it was perfectly fine to look at however long he wanted .
After keeping silent for some time .He would to it was just natural reaction as a man .
Than he would delve into concept of man & woman .
"Maybe with passing of time I am going crazy"
He felt 3 days had passed in this chamber .
Lin tian had started to see side effects of staying in isolation.He couldn't help but feel sadness for the girl in coma state .
He had no idea for how long she had been like this .
.
After a unknown passing of time .
Lin tian heard a gurgle from his stomach .
He finally felt hungary .
"If I can feel hunger .than guess I am not dead yet "
He was feeling strange for a long time he hadn't felt hunger .But his mind had started to crave for food long ago .But in this place was no food .He had to control his craving .
A thought of eating the girl had once passed in his mind .but he ignored it .
For thirst he could drink shining water .But for days he was only drinking a drop of it .Lin tian guessed this water was necessity to keep the girl alive .So consedring her life he was being frugal .
But hunger what could he do about it .He could with only will try to suppress it .
The best way is to exit from here .
He guessed he had fallen from ceiling.But there was no way he could reach to the ceiling.There was nothing in this to help him .
As for patterns on walls he had tried to understand them but to no avail.he understood anything.As for breaking the walls and digging the floor .He had tried everything .He had punched walls uncountable times to break it .But he couldn't even put dent .Even the key .which was only thing left on him .He didn't found use for it .Non keyhole no lock .Nothing where it could be used.
Time passed .Lin tian didn't know how much time passed .But his hunger was growing unbearable .Sometimes he would stay in a daze talking nonsense.other times he would think of cutting his hands to eat .
Perhaps if he had any weapon and anaesthesia.he might have already done eating his hand .
Looking at the beauty sleeping in coffin .she no longer excited him in that way .But seemed to be a food delicacy .
Maybe he was going crazy or had already gone crazy.Even he wouldn't know what he was talking some time.But his determination to not harm girl was strong .
More time passed .
The puddle of shining water in the corner had dried up .lin tian couldn't even get a sip of water .
Maybe this is the end .He thought.
He dragged his body to the coffin .And than laid on it .Waiting for his death to come .
If lin tian could stand up now and open his eyes .He would see a two ethereal transparent figure floating within the sealed chamber. one man other female .They had grabbed each other's hand .And looked like husband-wife.
Seeing lin tian laying on coffin but no intention to harm the girl .They nodded at each other .
Than after some chant .They turned into qi and entered the walls .All patterns within the chamber lit up .
The key on lin tian started burning with some kind of power.It automatically moved to bore a hole in the coffin .As though the top of coffin caught a fire .whole top side of coffin disappeared.
Lin tian who was resting his hand on top of coffin .opened his eyes because of light only to end up falling into sleeping girls bosom .
