Chapter 289: Two into One
"He has lost most of his mana, and his fragile appearance can be said to be a step-by-step crisis, and the so-called elixir ...... "wrinkled his nose," it is better not to expect, it is better for him to occupy that person's body and cultivate after merging with the human body, although there is a lot more trouble, but at the same time, there is also a lot less danger. ”
Lu Qing smiled and touched Zhang Lei's head: "Ji Ao, Li Yao and Yan'er are working hard for Jin Ying, how can you say that there is no hope? Jin Ying believes that they will definitely bring the elixir back, and you should also believe in Yan'er." ”
Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Of course I believe in Yan'er, but I don't believe in that Han Ji Ao!"
Lu Qing shook her head with a smile and turned to leave, Zhang Lei chased after her without giving up, and kept nagging after her: "Jin Ying listens to you the most, you'd better persuade him, although my method is not as effective as the elixir, at least it is much better than now......"
Jiang Chang hadn't dreamed for a few days, his physical strength had disappeared very quickly, and now he almost didn't even have the strength to dream. He was silent every day, and under the torture of illness, he could only helplessly delay waiting for the day of death.
After Jiang Chang took a lot of medicine today, he finally fell asleep groggily, and the dream that had not appeared for many days entered his mind again, and the "self" in the dream suddenly appeared again, standing in front of the bed and looking at himself expressionlessly.
"Are you here to take me away?" Jiang Chang was already unable to sit up, and he looked at Jin Ying desolately.
"It's not. ”
"As before, are you here to chat with me?" Jiang Chang squeezed out a smile bitterly, "It's a pity that I don't have much strength to speak." ”
"If you could live, what would you do?" asked Jin Ying as she looked at him earnestly.
"Please don't ask such questions! Don't you think it's too much to ask these questions at this time?" Jiang Chang took a breath, frowned, turned his head and said weakly.
"If you could live, for another fifty, seventy years, what would you most like to do?" Jin Ying ignored his mood and continued to ask.
Jiang Chang looked at the easel on the table in silence and didn't want to answer.
"What would you do if you weren't going to die?" asked Jin Hotaru as she continued.
"I want to live, I want to eat, I want to drink water, I want to sleep, I want to play games online, I want to travel, I want to play basketball, I want to skate, I want to chat with my mother and learn to help her with housework, I want to go abroad to learn to paint, I want to fall in love, I want to have my own wife and children in the future......" Jiang Chang excitedly beat the bed with his hand and shouted as hard as he could.
After he finished speaking in one breath, he finally choked with tears streaming down his face, and he screamed silently: "I want to paint, I like to paint...... I finally got this opportunity to illustrate for magazines, and this is a rare opportunity to get in my own business...... Why am I dying, I am not reconciled...... I'm so unwilling...... Why are you asking that? Isn't it funny to ask?"
"I can do everything else, but I can't draw, and I can't learn the paintings you painted, it seems that I can't accept Zhang Lei's suggestion to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul......" Jin Ying looked at him and suddenly became a little sad.
"What did you say?" Jiang Chang's emotions were very excited, and he shouted excitedly, "Borrow the corpse to return the soul......"
"Who are you, why do you always appear in my dreams, what do you want to do, why do you say that to me, what do you want to do!" he always suppressed his fear of death and pretended to be calm in order to comfort his parents and friends.
In the "dream", it is only when he is alone with Jin Ying, a strange "person", that he finds an opportunity to vent, and he shouts and screams as hard as he can, venting his accusation against this arrangement of fate.
"I feel like you...... Not only does it look very similar on the outside, but I am also as afraid of death as you are......" Jin Ying looked at him, and he also knew that life and death depended on fate, and people would eventually die, "I may be killed by the enemy at any time." ”
"No one is not afraid of death! No one is not afraid, only death, I don't want to leave this world, don't you have a soul when you die? You are my soul, aren't you?" Jiang Chang looked at Jin Ying eagerly.
"I think...... In fact, there are still some people who are not afraid of death......" Jin Ying's face appeared in her mind, "But I'm really as afraid as you...... And it's not that I'm afraid of death per se, I'm afraid of disappearing, and if I die, I'm going to disappear, and I'm scared of ......."
Jiang Chang didn't say anything, just cried hoarsely, and Jin Ying sighed, "I'm really not your soul, I'm a monster." ”
"What's wrong with youkai, at least you can live for many years, you monsters have mana, right? Can you help me? Can you let me live?"
"Your yang life is almost over, your body will be cremated after death, at most there is only a soul left, the only way is to let the spirit with magic borrow the corpse to return the soul, if you insist on staying in the world, you can only exist in the form of memory. Jin Ying sighed and nodded again.
"The form of memory exists...... Why did fate play tricks on me like this! I still have a lot of dreams that have not been realized, and I still have a lot of things I want to do...... Woo...... Why ......" Jiang Chang suddenly came back to his senses, he grabbed Jin Ying's hand, "I know you are here for me, as long as you help me live, everything I have belongs to you, as long as I can continue to stay in the world." ”
"But I'm a monster, my demonic energy will devour you, and if your soul insists on attaching to your body, you will be scattered because of me, and in the end you won't even have a chance to be reincarnated. ”
"I don't want to be reincarnated, I just want to stay in the world, as long as I can see my parents and Xiaoying, I am willing to do anything. ”
"Would you like to exist only in the shape of memory?"
"I have no choice but to stay in the world. I'm willing to do anything. ”
When Hotaru walked into Lu Qing's office, she was discussing the patient's condition with several medical staff, and she just winked at him to welcome him.
Jin Hotaru sat on the lamp tube and waited patiently, this was originally the position that Yan'er liked to stay in when she came to find Lu Qing, but now the beautiful spirit beast was replaced by the shadow of Jin Ying's dumb human form, so it had a completely different effect, and Lu Qing couldn't help but smile at the place where he stayed several times.
"Lu Qing, can you do me a favor?" It wasn't until the others had left that Jin Ying fell in front of Lu Qing, he knew that his request might be a little excessive, so he was not so decisive.
Lu Qing stared at him for a long time before she "sneered" and smiled: "Is it for that person?"
Jin Hotaru nodded. Through his observations in the past few days, he knew that Lu Qing would do his best to save people with medical skills, but he would never use magic to heal those who were already terminally ill.
He knew that his request violated Lu Qing's principles, and if she didn't agree, Jin Ying wouldn't go to someone else to help treat Jiang Chang. But Jiang Chang will be very sad when he dies, as if he has lost a real projection of himself.
"What do you want?" Lu Qing looked at him with interest, "We youkai have the principle of youkai, and we can't go against the sky!"
"My current mana can't save him at all, he can't hold up the flames and they come back, so I want to ...... I want to ......," Jin Hotaru scratched her head, "I want him to keep living." ”
"Let me save him?"
Jin Hotaru scratched her head and didn't make a sound.
Lu Qing was also silent for a long time before she said softly: "Jin Ying, I promised that black and white are impermanent, I can't go against the sky, there are too many people who died in the hospital, this is his life......"
"You could have asked someone else to help you, but you're coming to me, so I'm sure I'm going to do you a favor. Lu Qing looked at Jin Ying gently, he must have thought that he would not help that person, so he had delayed it for so long, and only now he opened his mouth to himself, right?
"I want him to live...... There is still another way......" Lu Qing stood up and looked at the disembodied golden firefly, "but this needs you to help him......"
"How can I help?" asked Jin Ying, puzzled.
"Zhang Lei is borrowing a corpse to return the soul, if you want to help Jiang Chang, you can use this method, just ......" Lu Qing hesitated, "Jiang Chang is also a rare soul after his death, he can even become a fairy through cultivation." ”
"Same as Shen Mengman?"
"It can't be said to be the same, Shen Mengman's body has been cremated, so there is only a soul, but if you can merge with Jiang Chang's body, in fact, this will be good for you and him, not only can he continue to live, but you can also get a human body through him, which will be of great help to your cultivation and safety. ”
But he was not willing to leave the sun. ”
Lu Qing has also figured out a lot of things in the past few days, so the whole person is a lot easier, and she explained to Jin Ying seriously:
"After you borrow the corpse to return the soul, your memories will be shared, but after all, you are a demon, his soul cannot coexist with you, it is best to persuade him to reincarnate, if you don't want to, find a safe place, and wait patiently for sixty years to absorb the emperor's flow pulp and become a demon.
This is also providence, he is a human identity specially prepared for you, you have to think about it carefully, even if I use mana, I can only let him live for a longer period of time, I really don't want to use spells to interfere with the lifespan of human beings, but since it is your wish, I will definitely help you realize it...... I can keep him alive for another five years at most. ”
"Five years ......," Jin Hotaru muttered in a low voice, "but he will still die in pain in five years......"
"He will die at 4:23 p.m. the day after tomorrow, and you have to think about it, if you become one with him, you are really a human being, and his memories and emotions will interfere with you, but other than that, it will not affect you much.
Since you use his body to live among humans, you have to keep his memories, of course you can continue to cultivate with human bodies, I will seal his soul, no one can hurt him, and when there is an opportunity to make him a demon, he will naturally be released. ”
Jiang Chang opened his eyes, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he felt that the pain in his body seemed to have been reduced a lot, he had a long dream, dreaming that he floated to a very warm place, and finally lay there and fell asleep comfortably.
The sunlight was shining through the cracks in the curtains, indicating that it was a good weather outside, and for the first time since he was hospitalized, he wanted to go out and sketch.
He happily looked at his mother who was tidying up his things: "Mom, I think my illness is about to be cured, maybe I can catch up with the autumn poplars, and then we can go to a picnic together, okay?"
"Good ......" the mother turned her back and secretly wiped her tears, not daring to turn back to face him.
"Mom, I'm really going to be better this time......" Jiang Chang smiled excitedly.
Just now in a dream, the other self told him that his illness had been cured. After all, a dying person suddenly came back to life, in order to hide his eyes, the other self would use a slow way to make him slowly recover, and tell him to prepare his mind, there will be some strange thoughts in his mind in the future, Jiang Chang immediately agreed, because he believed in this dream.
