1.

Ye Xin was still in a coma.

The last impression in her mind was that Li Jiuyin's ice talisman slapped on the back of her heart, and then she didn't even have time to feel any pain, she only felt a cold body, as if the blood in her body was frozen, and then her eyes turned black and she was unconscious.

I don't know how much time has passed since I was in a coma. Even when he was slightly conscious, his body fluttered as if he were in the clouds, and after a while, he fell asleep again. Sometimes it seems as if someone poured a bucket of ice water on her and froze her to the marrow, and sometimes it seemed as if someone had burned her body with fire, and her eyes and ears were hot. is so hot and cold, but can only suffer quietly, unable to move his hands and feet at all, and even unable to open his eyelids.

On this day, my mind was slightly clearer, and I opened my eyes in a daze. After looking around, I saw that I was in a poorly furnished room, where all kinds of furniture and furnishings looked handmade and wooden, slightly exuding a unique fragrance of wood, but a little bit of the smell of rural farmers. The winter sun pours in through the open windows, illuminating the whole room brightly and warmly.

Ye Xin lay on the bed for a long time this time, he didn't move for a long time, the joints of his whole body were stiff, he only felt that his body was indescribably sore, and the bones on his body would "rattle" when he moved slightly. She lay down for a long time before she slowly brace herself up and struggled to sit up.

At that moment, the door to the room creaked open.

Ye Xin's whole body sank, and out of the instinct of a killer, he subconsciously reached out to take his blade. But when she touched it, she felt empty, and then she found that the Ruthless Blade and the hidden weapons she usually wore on her body were no longer around, and they were all placed at the other end of the room.

"Yo, I've been sleeping for so long, and I'm finally willing to wake up!" a black-clothed young man with a tray walked in, smiling. Ye Xin was in a coma for a long time, and as soon as he woke up, his mind was tense, and his mind was in chaos all of a sudden, and he couldn't recognize who the person in front of him was, but he subconsciously felt that this voice was very familiar.

The young man stepped forward, put the tray he was holding on the small table at the head of the bed with one hand, and reached over to hold Ye Xin's hand with the other, and pressed against her palms, transmitting a strong internal force from the "Lao Gong Acupoint" in her palm.

This true qi was like a warm current swimming in the meridians around her body, smoothing out the restless breath in her body, Ye Xin gradually loosened her tense body, slowly exhaled her turbid breath, opened her beautiful eyes that began to regain her previous charm, and looked at the familiar black-clothed young man beside her-

Lin Xiao.

"That puppet master of the Tan family, I have already asked him to report to Lord Yama. Lin Xiao said in a flat tone while crossing the true qi into Ye Xin's body, as if what he was talking about was not a lost human life at all but a trivial trivial matter, "The talisman he hit into your body is attached to the power of yin and cold, once it enters the body and reacts with the true qi, it will stimulate the meridians and bloodlines, so you will be unconscious." ”

Ye Xin glanced at him: "You saved me?"

"From the point of view of the disciples of the Immortal Sect, I really want to leave you there and leave you to fend for yourself—after all, it is easier to run away alone than to carry an oil bottle. But......" Lin Xiao said and looked up at Ye Xin's gaze and smiled playfully, "...... From the perspective of an ally, I will not abandon my companions under any circumstances. ”

There seemed to be something shiny in Ye Xin's eyes that moved slightly, but it was quickly hidden by her again.

"Thank you so much. ”

"You're welcome, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. ”

Ye Xin looked around again: "Where is this?"

Lin Xiao replied: "There is a small village in Wushan, called 'Ruofeng Village', and I walked in the mountains for two days and one night on my back before I found this place. We were taken in by a young healer from the village, and thanks to his help, your injuries have not deteriorated in the past few days. ”

Lin Xiao took the bowl of thick medicinal juice on the tray on the table and handed it to Ye Xin: "Since you woke up today, then you don't need me to feed you." This medicine has just been baked, so drink it while it's hot. ”

Ye Xin looked at Lin Xiao in a daze, didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't reach out to pick it up.

I said...... I finally carried you all the way from outside the city of Shanzhou to here, there is no merit and hard work, can you bear to watch me hold my hand here all the time?" Lin Xiao's tone showed a slight hint of helplessness.

Ye Xin came back to his senses at this time, stretched out his hand to take the bowl of medicine, and just brought it to his mouth, he smelled the strong smell of medicine steaming up with the heat, and couldn't help frowning: "What kind of medicine is this? It smells so bitter!"

Lin Xiao sighed lightly: "You are also a killer cultivated by Dark Fragrance, you don't frown when you kill people and get injured on weekdays, but you are still afraid of drinking medicine?! You have just been seriously injured, although the power of yin and cold in your body has been cleared, but after all, some injuries are fundamental, this medicine is boiled with some medicinal materials that strengthen the foundation of Peiyuan, which can help you recover your body as soon as possible." ”

"These days...... You're taking care of me?"

"Otherwise, if I hadn't given you the gas and medicine every day, you wouldn't have known where to explain it. ”

Ye Xin stopped talking, picked up the medicine bowl, and took a sip of the medicine juice gently. I don't know if it was steamed by the heat, bitter by the medicinal juice, or some other reason, but a strange flush appeared on her face.

"Thank you!" she said suddenly, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

Lin Xiao obviously didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"No, nothing...... By the way, how did you get rid of those cold poisons in my body?" Probably to hide his embarrassment, Ye Xin asked, diverting the topic.

Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly flashed inexplicably, paused for a second, and said, "This...... The power of yin and cold on that talisman is indeed treacherous, but don't forget, the purple yang true qi I have cultivated is the inner strength of the whole world, and it is the nemesis of this cold and poisonous thing. As long as I pass the true qi into a few big acupoints on your body, I will naturally be able to dissolve those messy cold qi in your body. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Lin Xiao glared at Ye Xin: "Otherwise, how difficult do you think it is?" Although the puppet master of the Tan family seems to have some way, he is a nameless person who does not enter the stream after all. This kind of ninth-rate method under the rat generation, does it need to be solved by a clever cracking method?"

Without waiting for Ye Xin to say anything more, Lin Xiao stood up from the side of the bed and said, "You hurry up and drink the medicine while it's hot, otherwise it will be even more bitter if it gets cold for a while." I'll go outside and find out if there is any candy or fruit for you, and I'll relieve you of your suffering. Yu Bi stretched out his hand to pick up the tray on the table, and in Ye Xin's puzzled eyes, he walked out of the room without looking back......

2.

Lin Xiao restrained himself from showing any abnormality, and without a trace, he accelerated his steps and exited the room where Ye Xin was, and closed the door with his hand. The next moment, his face turned pale in an instant, and he rushed down a flight of stairs, ran into a dark corner, leaned against the wall, bent down and began to cough violently, coughing that made his whole body tremble slightly.

When he coughed, he covered his mouth tightly with his hand to prevent himself from making too much noise, and by the time the cough had subsided and he took his hand away from his mouth, there was already a touch of red blood in his palm, which was shocking.

Behind him, "Lingtai", "Tao Dao", "Shen Dao", "Zhiyang", "Center" and many other acupoints were quickly clicked, and a pure internal force penetrated through, forcibly suppressing a breath in his body. Lin Xiao's face softened slightly, he let out a sigh, withdrew his restless true qi into the dantian and the sea of qi, rubbed the blood on his hand on the wall next to him casually, and then turned around.

What caught his eye was Hongchen's light and angry look.

"How long are you trying to hide from her?!"

Lin Xiao laughed dryly indifferently: "Why do you want to do so much? ”

"I said you wouldn't last long......"

"Isn't it still under control now!" Lin Xiao waved his hand impatiently, "After so many days, I didn't just vomit like this, it should be that I relaxed my suppression when I was angry with Ye Xin just now, and I just endured it." It's just a ninth-rate charm, can it still kill me?!"

"Lower Nine Streams?!" Hongchen couldn't help but sneer: "'Puppet Drama' Li Jiuyin, who was a famous and evil puppeteer back then, had a 'Cold Jade Rune' and 'Corpse Puppet Trick' in one hand, and how many people in the rivers and lakes had died. I didn't expect that when I came to you, I was relegated to some kind of ninth-rate charm. ”

Lin Xiao said coldly: "A guy who has been eliminated by the times, no matter how clever his methods used to be, what is the use? If you do the math, it's almost rotten in the dirt by now!"

Hongchen said: "This kind of reckless tongue can't help you. You must know that the cold poison on the cold jade rune is extremely difficult, once it enters the body, it will be tightly attached to the meridians like maggots attached to the bones, if it cannot be expelled in time to the true qi spiritual power of the Gangzhi Yang, the meridians in the body will be eaten away by that force. ”

"Then there is no need to worry. Isn't what I'm cultivating is the true qi of the supreme strength and yang?"

Hongchen suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Lin Xiao's shoulders hard, and said loudly: "Yes! You are right, Ziyang True Qi is indeed the nemesis of that kind of cold power. But what I don't understand is that you can slowly dissolve the cold poison on her body by crossing the qi, why do you use the 'method of stealing the sky and changing the sun' to transfer the cold poison into your body?

Lin Xiao looked directly into Hongchen's eyes: "After the Ziyang True Qi enters another person's body through transmission, its power effect will be greatly weakened invisibly. If I am to help her expel the cold poison by crossing the qi, I must always be in touch with her palm to ensure that the true qi continues to be transmitted, and there must be no moments of separation until the cold poison is removed. Otherwise, once the suppression is interrupted, the cold poison will immediately regurgitate and flow into the viscera along the meridians, and there will be no cure. ”

But at that time, the situation was critical, and the lackeys of the Tan family would come to the door at some point. If you do what you do, if the pursuers arrive, she and I will die by the sword. It's better for me to transfer that cold poison into my body, and the Ziyang True Qi will be triggered by the power of yin and cold to help me clear the cold poison. So I'm not just helping her survive, I'm saving myself. ”

Hongchen's face softened slightly, and he sighed and said, "Then why are you so bothered? Don't forget her identity—she is a member of the Demon Sect, and she is inseparable from you, a disciple of the Immortal Sect, so why should you risk your life for her." ”

"You heard what I just said—I'm not going to leave my allies behind. Lin Xiao looked at Hongchen and said in a firm tone, "And you also said that she is a member of the Demon Sect." The matter we are investigating now has a lot of details related to the interior of the Demon Sect, and only she knows about it. Since she has the information we need, I'm going to have to keep her alive. ”

"Have you considered your own life?"

Lin Xiao sneered: "Master, my life is big! Don't forget that in the uninhabited valley that day, Xi Wanli's group of corpse puppets piled together failed to take my life." Now she, a little assassin from Dark Incense, wants to take my life? Hehe! Don't dream, she doesn't even think about this kind of thing!"

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. The people of the Demon Sect should be guarded against. Hongchen said to Lin Xiao as he looked at the location of Ye Xin's room, narrowed his eyes subtly, and fell into a deep thought.

3.

The sky was clear, and the air in Osan was much fresher than in the bustling city of the city, and the smell of earth, grass and dew was refreshing, even the strong smell of herbs in the medicine house could not hide the natural aroma.

A few days passed after Ye Xin woke up, firstly, the cold poison had already been transferred to Lin Xiao's body, and secondly, the medicines that had been taken in these days had taken effect, and the cultivation roots were basically solid, and the injuries on his body were almost healed. At the moment, she was sitting in the courtyard of the medicine house basking in the sun, helping the healer who took them in sort some herbs, and playing with the lame flower cat in the yard.

The firewood in the yard was pushed away with great force.

Ye Xin didn't even need to look up to know who the guy who pushed the door in was, but said nonchalantly: "Does that door have a grudge against you? Why are you so vigorous?" She had just caught the flower cat that was limping and running all over the ground, and was now scratching its ears. The cat curled up comfortably in her arms, "meow meow" and hum.

Lin Xiao picked up two large buckets of water, poured the water into the large water tanks in the corner of the courtyard, took the bucket picked by the young man behind him, and poured it for him.

The young man looked mild-mannered, and instead of looking like a country doctor, he looked like a scholar in a city school. He reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead and sideburns, and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Lin, I've tired you." ”

"What did Brother Yunxi say, if you hadn't taken in us two foreigners, we might still be wandering in Wushan by now. Lin Xiao smiled and humbly conceded.

Ye Xin also got up and saluted: "The little woman's injury is also thanks to Mr. Yun's medicine to recuperate, so kind, toothless and unforgettable." ”

Yunxi, the doctor who took in Lin Xiao and the others, waved his hand and smiled: "What are the two of you talking about?" As a doctor, hang the pot to help the world, and should practice the art of benevolence with noble sentiments. Worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the heart. I just do what I do, and I can't talk about any kindness or non-kindness, and these days I have also bothered the two of you to pick up water and medicine for me, saving me a lot of trouble, and I should thank the two of them. ”

"By the way, when it comes to carrying water, I don't know anything. Lin Xiao looked at the large water tanks placed against the wall in the courtyard and said: "I have observed in the past few days, and it is not only you who carry water, almost everyone in the village has gone over the mountains and mountains to the other side of the mountain to find a water source to draw water." Are you like a wind village...... Don't you have your own water source?"

Yunxi sighed: "Brother Lin is worthy of being a character who walks the rivers and lakes, and his observation is not ordinary." Yes, our village does not have its own water source. ”

Ye Xin couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Although the villages in the mountains will be much scarce compared with the villages built along the banks of the river in the plains, they will more or less rely on the streams and rivers in the mountains, how can they choose to build a village in a place where there is no water source? Could it be that your ancestors have been collecting water for their daily lives like this?"

Yunxi shook his head: "That's not it. To tell the truth, our village used to have its own water source, but a few years ago, the water source in this village was suddenly polluted, and the water veins seemed to be cut off by something, and the water in the rivers and streams became less and less, and finally became exhausted. Villagers are forced to make ends meet, so they have to cross mountains and mountains to find water. ”

"When did this happen?"

Yunxi pinched his fingers and calculated: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I was not originally from Ruofeng Village." My family had been practicing medicine for generations, and when I was five years old, my father offended the powerful by misdiagnosis, which led to the destruction of the family. I was alone in a foreign land and was adopted by the villagers here. ”

"I probably remember that within two years of my arrival, the water source in the village began to be polluted, and some people were poisoned by drinking sewage by mistake. Since then, water sources in the village have become polluted or depleted, and they are what they are today. I'm twenty-seven years old this year, and if I do my calculations, I found that the water in the village began to run out more than 20 years ago. ”

Lin Xiao nodded thoughtfully: "I see." ”

Yunxi washed his hands, took the divided herbs from Ye Xin's hands, and walked into the medicine house by himself. Lin Xiao came to Ye Xin's side, touched her arm, and said, "I think there's a problem." ”

Ye Xin glanced at him coldly: "What's the matter, do the disciples of the Immortal Sect care so much about other people's affairs?"

Lin Xiao said angrily: "I'm not nosy, I'm just thinking - the civil strife in the Wansheng Ming Sect, the undercover theft of the Liaoyuan Patriarch, and the destruction of the Innocent Family all happened about thirty years ago, and the time when the water source in this village was affected, according to Brother Yunxi, was about twenty years ago. And Osan is so close to the city of Shanzhou, do you think there is any connection between them?"

"Do you suspect that the person who took the other half of the remnants will hide in this black mountain for nearly ten years?"

Lin Xiao shrugged: "It's not impossible." That map is a treasure passed down from generation to generation of masters of the Heavenly City, if he only takes half of the remnant map back, according to the style of the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect, there must be only one way to die, in order to survive, he can only take this map to escape. ”

"In addition, the husband is not guilty, but guilty. At that time, it was not only the forces of the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect that were staring at this map, after the destruction of the Innocent Family, there would definitely be people ready to move. If it were you, in that case, the best way to escape from the pursuit of multiple forces was to disappear. ”

"So you think he'll choose to disappear in Ossan?"

"At that time, there must have been a lot of people staring at the area inside and outside the city, that survivor had just escaped from the underground secret room of the Innocent Family, and even if he didn't die, he would have lost seven points of his life, and he would definitely not be able to go far. Osan is the closest and best place to hide. ”

Ye Xin shook his head: "After saying so much, it's just your guess, how can you count?"

Lin said leisurely: "What if not?"

Ye Xin was suddenly shocked: "What did you say?!"

Lin Xiao took out the Qiankun bag from his waist that contained half of the remnant picture, which was shining with a faint light.

Ye Xin suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Xiao's hand holding the Qiankun bag, clenched it tightly, and directly pinched out five red marks on his wrist.

The dots of light on the Qiankun bag prove that the remnants have reacted to this place, and although they seem to be faint, they resonate with something hidden in this mountain. Even if the remaining half of the remnant picture is not in Ossan, it must have been in Osan before.

After coming out of the Unsullied Family, the clue about the half of the remnant was cut off - no one knew where the survivor who survived from the underground vault had gone after taking the remnant and leaving, and there was no way to find it. And now, the clue to the disappearance is in sight.

"When did this happen?" Ye Xin asked, his voice trembling slightly because of surprise.

"What's that...... You haven't been so excited, don't be so excited, let go of my hand first and then say okay!" Lin Xiao was so vigorously grabbed by Ye Xin's wrist, grinning in pain, and hurriedly broke off her clenched fingers, and took the Qiankun bag back to her waist and pinned it.

"At first, there was no reaction when I came, and it wasn't until I went into the mountains a few days ago to help carry water that I suddenly moved. Lin Xiao said, "What you see now, although the reaction is not obvious, but it is because I have returned to the village." But on a certain stretch of the road to fetch water, its reaction will be much more pronounced. I suspect that on that stretch of the road, there should be traces of the soul imprint on the remnant map. ”

Ye Xin calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Then what should we do now?"

Lin Xiaochao glanced at the location in the depths of the mountains outside the village: "Let's wait and see what happens, I have to confirm it again." If it's correct, then we should go to the mountains and take a good look!"
