Chapter 14: Making a Deal with the Devil
The person in the back finally spoke~~~~
"Last time you broke in without knocking on the door, isn't it enough to endure hardships?
Ma Xiaoyong, who was already nervous, heard the old man's cold words, and suddenly felt a little numb, and his already trembling body was even more like chaff.
"If, you can't give me a reasonable explanation today... Tomorrow, your morning class will triple again."
Zhang Song withdrew the hand on Ma Xiaoyong's shoulder, sat down on the stool opposite Ma Xiaoyong, and poured himself a glass of water for a long time.
After the old man said this, Ma Xiaoyong, who was originally extremely frightened, suddenly stopped trembling.
Although Zhang Song was pouring water, the corner of his eye still saw this scene clearly.
"How good it would be if you were of any other physique, so old, so mindful, so talented, it's rare. The future is limitless, if you do your master... In the future, when you become famous, the master can also follow your afterglow. But you have this kind of physique, so you can't complain about me", Zhang Song thought secretly.
"Grandpa Zhang... That's right".
Ma Xiaoyong told the truth of the matter, and also told the words of the second-order doctor from his mother.
After listening to Ma Xiaoyong's statement, there was no need to check Ma Xiaoyong in person, what the second-order physician said, there was no doubt that Zhang Song fell into deep thought. Nor do they speak.
Then... Ma Xiaoyong suddenly knelt down.
"Please save my brother, I know you're a third-order alchemist. You must have a way to cure my brother, right?", and kowtowed as he spoke.
Seeing this, Zhang Song hurriedly thought about it. A gentle force held up Ma Xiaoyong.
He stood up and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Regardless of the slightest trace of blood flowing from his forehead, his waist bent into a hundred degrees. continued to plead: "Please Grandpa Zhang save my brother, you can do whatever you want me, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you, and serve you for the rest of my life."
groaned slightly, Zhang Song's old eyes lit up. said, "Are you sure you can do whatever you want?"
Ma Xiaoyong looked up at the old man with a resolute expression.
"Yes, anything".
Well, if you fulfill my two conditions, I will refine medicine for you and cure your brother. Zhang Song said with a smile.
"Please also state your conditions"
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoyong really asked for the right person. My brother was saved. The color of happiness and excitement is beyond words.
"First, soak the liquid I have carefully developed for you every day. For a period of five years! No interruption under any circumstances. ”
Zhang Song's face was solemn. He himself was also very worried in his heart, if this little guy couldn't stand the explosion and died, the gains outweighed the losses, and it was impossible to meet another person with an "ice spirit body" in this heaven and earth. Those people are either protected by layers of the great family, or they are peerless powerhouses who have been famous for many years. Obviously, no matter which one it is, it is not something that he Zhang Song can afford to provoke.
He didn't want to gamble, just wait for ten years to come. Then pick the fruit. However, over the years, his qi and blood have been depleted at more than thirty times faster than ordinary people. If he wasn't an alchemist... It is estimated that the grass on the grave is two meters tall.
But if he continues like this, he will die soon.
And the reason why he became like this is because of the war back then.
It was a terrible battle. In the end, it ended with the death of a "Star Source Unicorn"... The other end of the escape, and he was seriously injured and finished.
The third-order star source unicorn that had just entered the juvenile stage desperately sacrificed the "spatial star horn" on his head to cut off his qi and blood, but it did not hurt his soul, after all, the magician was famous for his soul power, not to mention that he was one order higher than the other party. But after this battle, he was also greatly injured. And fall into the hidden danger.
It is rumored that the "Star Source Unicorn" in the mature stage can only reach the sixth order. Although not very powerful, their racial talent is terrifying.
In the heyday of a mature "Star Source Unicorn", he completely sacrificed his blood and soul to the "Space Star Horn" on his head. Its power can kill seventh-order cultivators, cut off qi and blood, and annihilate souls. Its power can severely damage an eighth-order cultivator. If you can't get treatment in time, or if you treat it properly, you can also die.
Of course, this world is also fair, and what you get is something to pay, so the reproduction ability of this race is very poor, and it is not a group, and everyone seems to be a lonely traveler.
Every time he thought of this, Zhang Song hated it so much that he wanted to vomit blood.
Hearing Zhang Song's first condition, Ma Xiaoyong uncontrollably hit a spirit.
"Every. Every day?" Ma Xiaoyong said with difficulty.
"Yes, every day". Zhang Song said with certainty. "Of course, you can also choose to refuse, I can tell you, if you soak in it every day, it is life-threatening, if you want to be like before. Fainting halfway, basically considered dead, have you ever seen a scene where a watermelon completely explodes?. Zhang Song's smile at the moment was like a devil. It's chilling to watch.
Hearing Zhang Song's words... Looking at the strange smile like a demon, Ma Xiaoyong's scalp was numb for a while, and his two strands trembled.
And Ma Xiaoyong's frightened eyes and trembling body. are all in front of Zhang Song.
"Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you, but your brother is not as mysterious as the doctor said. Your brother is not without a soul, and no one is born without a soul. ”
Paused...
"Let me tell you this, the same, whether it is a human or a demonic beast, they are born with a soul, there is no doubt about this, the difference is that some people are born with a strong soul, and some people are born weak. That's how magicians were born. Of course, the strength of the soul can be tested by going to the Dharma God Temple and the Blue Moon Branch."
Taking a sip of water, Zhang Song continued, "But obviously your brother does not meet the test."
"Why?" Ma Xiaoyong blurted out subconsciously.
"Why? The most basic condition for the Dharma Temple to test souls is that they must be five years old or older." Zhang Song glanced at Ma Xiaoyong and said with a sneer.
After listening to Zhang Song's explanation, Ma Xiaoyong showed a sudden expression.
"Okay, don't interrupt, listen to me tell you slowly."
"As long as a living being is born with a soul, why would your brother behave like this? The only answer is... Your brother's soul is hidden in the deepest part of the spiritual sea. Zhang Song asked himself.
Ma Xiaoyong just wanted to ask, "Why is my brother's soul hidden", but suddenly remembered that Zhang Song asked him not to interrupt, so he couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Ma Xiaoyong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, it seemed to see through what Ma Yong was thinking.
Zhang Song asked hehehe, "Do you want to ask why your brother's soul is hidden in the spiritual sea?"
Ma Xiaoyong couldn't stop nodding and said: Yes.
"This... I don't know. Generally speaking, after a person is stimulated by some external object or has been severely hit on the head, the spiritual sea will hide the soul under the spiritual sea. Let me tell you this, that is, the spiritual sea will make corresponding actions to protect the soul on its own, and at least lose your memory, or become a living dead at worst. But in general, no matter how severe it is, it is possible to recover on its own, and of course some people die in a muddy nightmare and never wake up. Saying so much, Zhang Song also felt a little dry mouth, poured himself a cup of tea again, and drank it all.
I didn't see the little guy on the other side screaming at half a sound, and Zhang Song suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Why don't you speak"?
Ma Xiaoyong is also a little innocent at this moment, isn't it because you don't let me interrupt. Now blame me for not talking?
Of course, he only dared to think about these words in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them to Zhang Song.
"My younger brother is so young, basically staying in the house, it should be impossible to be stimulated by any external objects, as for the head is seriously hit, it is even more impossible, is there any other possible factor for Grandpa Zhang?" Ma Xiaoyong asked very seriously.
"Then I don't know, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that as long as he still has a soul, I can reawaken him," Zhang Song said unashamedly. "Of course, there are also prerequisites, if you don't get treatment within five years, the probability of waking up after five years is much smaller, and it can be said that the longer you delay, the more bad it will be for your brother. That's why I made a five-year covenant with you."
"What's going on, little guy, you have to think clearly, don't let your brother be saved by then, and hang up first. Zhang Song once again showed that devilish smile.
"If I die in five years, can you save my brother?" Ma Xiaoyong asked expectantly.
"No," Zhang Song replied without thinking.
Ma Xiaoyong wanted to say something, but Zhang Song immediately interrupted: "I know you want to beg me again, tell you clearly." It's useless, so.. You want to wake up your brother, not me, but you. It is said that the potential of the human body is limitless, as long as you don't give up. Think more about your mother, your brother. You'll get through it."
The potential of going to his grandmother is endless, this kind of nonsense, even I don't believe it. Anyway, when this little ghost can't bear it, I have to fish him out in time. Zhang Song thought secretly.
"Well... The first condition I will do. Name your second condition." Ma Xiaoyong said with a firm expression.
"Hey, hey... I can't imagine that you little ghost is quite affectionate, in fact, you really don't need to take such a risk, you and your brother have only been together for half a year, not to mention, you haven't even spoken a word between you." Zhang Songyin said compassionately.
"He's my brother"... Ma Xiaoyong only has such a simple and straightforward sentence.
Before Zhang Song could say anything, Ma Xiaoyong immediately interrupted: "Please tell me your second condition."
Zhang Song, who was about to speak, was interrupted so unreasonably, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction.
Continue to say gloomily, "Wait until you complete the first condition, little doll." Don't explode directly to death at that time, saying that the second condition is useless, "hehehe......
