Chapter 140: Life Exchange
"What's going on?" the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King was a little puzzled when he saw the two people lying on the stone bed.
"I was resting in the cave, and I didn't want to sneeze and stun the two people outside the cave, but fortunately it was fine, otherwise I would have been guilty. "The old dragon is not pretentious in the slightest when he makes up lies, with his large size, it is absolutely possible for a sneeze to stun people.
The old man was surprised when he saw the woman, and then he checked the bodies of the two of them, and found that there was no major problem, and if he really just fainted, he was relieved, and he casually cast a magic to wake up the two.
Knowing that he was stunned by a sneeze, Lin Qian suddenly felt nauseous, and the mouthful of soil he gnawed on the ground seemed to be mixed with the smell of boogers.
"I said Dragon Lord, what are you doing with turning into a dragon body?" Lin Qian complained while retching, he had been erased some of his previous memories, of course he would not have any doubts.
The old dragon smiled awkwardly: "Ahem...... I discussed things with my people last night, and then I forgot to take on human form and fell asleep in the cave. β
"By the way, who is this?" asked the Phantom King as he looked at the woman.
"Oh, this is Xiao Yi's mother, this time I'm hereβ"
"It's here to take Xiaoyi's body away. The woman snatched the conversation and did not tell her true purpose.
Lin Qian understood that this matter was not appropriate to be quiet, nodded and continued: "Yes, since Xiaoyi suffered misfortune, my aunt has not seen her once. β
The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers did not doubt him, but he always maintained his awe for this woman, because from her, he felt the same fear when facing Xiao Yi.
After a while, Raymond walked in, and the woman immediately said that she wanted to go back, but the dragon lord did not stay, and took the initiative to send the two to the entrance of the cave. This trip was extremely short, but for Lin Qian, this was exactly what he wanted, and he really couldn't wait to see Xiaoyi.
"Lin Qian, didn't you notice anything wrong?" the woman looked at Xiao Yi's body and asked Lin Qian.
"No, Xiao Yi's body is intact, and there are no problems with the magic array on the crystal coffin. β
"I'm not talking about it, it's about us fainting. β
"Fainted? Yes, it was a strange thing, I remember we had just reached the entrance of the cave and there was only a gust of wind blowing, and then we didn't know anything. Lin Qian recalled the scene at that time and also found some problems.
"I always felt as if I had been erased from some of my memories, and it wasn't easy. The woman said nothing, but there was no way to verify it.
Lin Qian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Auntie, aren't you ...... Will it be prophesied? Isn't it predicted?"
"This ......," the woman pondered for a moment, then shook her head slowly.
"No matter, it would be nice to be able to pick up Xiaoyi. Lin Qian didn't care about anything at this time, only Xiao Yi's resurrection was the most important, "Raymond!
The woman looked at Lin Qian's eager expression and sighed, not knowing what to think in her heart.
When they arrived at the temporary town, the woman asked for a room alone, and withdrew everyone, leaving only her and Xiao Yi, who had just been taken out of the crystal coffin, inside.
The woman gently rubbed Xiao Yi's cold face, as if she wanted to engrave her appearance in her heart. After a long time, the woman slowly got up, opened the door, and called Lin Qian over.
"Go get those three magic books. The woman gave an inexplicable order.
"Oh, okay, I'll go. Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to Elena to ask for the copy of "Puppet Magic", plus the other two copies in his hand, which were handed over to Xiao Yi's mother.
"Why, can't even bear this price?" the woman said sneeringly, seeing that he couldn't bear to let go.
"No, I just want to ask, can Xiao Yi really wake up?"
To be honest, Lin Qian was really a little reluctant, after all, Xiao Yi said before he died that if he wanted to get rid of the fate of being occupied by the old fox, he could only use these three magic books. To hand over the hope of his own survival, in order to resurrect the woman he loves, this price cannot be said to be small.
"Xiao Yi used her vitality to activate the family secret technique, and finally died, as long as I return the vitality to her, she will be able to recover her life, and she will naturally wake up. The woman was afraid that he would not be at ease, so she had to explain to Lin Qian.
"Life force, give it back to her, then aunt, you ......" Lin Qian suddenly realized that this price was probably not a simple matter of three magic books, but another life.
"Lin Qian, I only hope that you can treat Xiao Yi well, and don't let her be hurt again, otherwise, I ......" The woman smiled sadly, "Forget it, I'm already a dry bone, how can I threaten you?"
"Wait!" Lin Qian stopped the woman from closing the door, "Is there no other way......?" Sacrificing another person's life?"
Although Lin Qian knew that this kind of thinking was selfish, it was better to let him kill an unrelated person than to watch Xiao Yi's mother sacrifice herself.
"Do you want me to die?" the woman teased, as she seemed to be open-minded, or perhaps just trying to ease the sad atmosphere.
"I just...... I don't want Xiaoyi to lose her mother. Lin Qian told the truth, although it was a little inappropriate to say this at this time.
The woman smiled and said, "Our family's secret art can only sacrifice its own life force, in other words, only if I die can I save her. However, you are very honest, go and get a pen and paper, I still have something to explain to Xiaoyi. β
"Well, good. Lin Qian went out again and brought a pair of pen and paper.
"Stay outside the door, come in half an hour later, see Xiao Yi, you just have to tell the truth, even if she wants to use a secret method to save me, she can't do it. The woman closed the door and said goodbye to Lin Qian completely.
Lin Qian wanted to push the door open and stop her from resurrecting Xiao Yi, but the emotions in his heart made him want to see the living Xiao Yi even more. For him, the death of his mother-in-law and his wife should have been a profitable thing, but Lin Qian couldn't be happy anyway. The only thing he thought about at the moment was his mother on earth, and if he died, his mother would definitely do the same. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, how happy they should be to be children, maybe they will one day have the next generation, and they will do this to him/her, this is the so-called inheritance of life.
"It's been thousands of years, and this is the first time our family has passed it on like this, but it's up to you to do the rest. After the woman finished writing the last book, she sighed, and seemed to be still worried about Xiaoyi's future.
"Open!" The woman stretched out her left hand, palm upward, as if a fairy aura arose from it, wrapping the entire palm layer by layer.
"Turn!" The palm of the hand flipped towards Xiao Yi's body, and the slightest fairy qi poured into Xiao Yi's body, and the woman became more and more unbearable, and her arms began to tremble.
"Seal!" The woman used all her strength, took the three magic books in her right hand, and poured all the immortal qi and the golden light on the three ancient magic books into Xiao Yi's body in one go, and she couldn't hold on anymore, and fell on the side of the bed, completely lifeless......
The only reason why higher beings are one level higher than lower beings lies in the word "love", the love of parents, the love of relatives, and the love of lovers, which cannot be experienced by lower beings. It is love that allows these creatures to find a higher spiritual pursuit on the basis of survival, and even give up survival for this. Parents die to save their children, lovers die of martyrdom, and even ordinary people who don't know each other have sacrificed their lives to save each other, although some situations seem to be irrational, but no one will not be moved by this.
Thinking of this, Lin Qian suddenly felt a little homesick, he wanted to see his family, wanted to return to Earth, and wanted to get out of this world. Since he was a child, he has always been strong and has never felt homesick because of leaving home, this is the first time.
The door creaked open, and then a familiar salutation came into Lin Qian's ears: "Childe......"
Lin Qian's heart was shocked, and he quickly turned around, only to see a face that was crying into tears. Lin Qian hugged Xiao Yi in his arms and let him cry silently in his arms.
"Aunt, she ......" Lin Qian didn't know how to talk about it, but when it came to this matter, he still indirectly harmed her.
The two hugged each other for a long time, and Xiao Yi stopped her tears and whispered, "Childe, can you also help your mother build a crystal coffin?"
"Of course, that's what we have to do. Lin Qian nodded, why did she need to mention this little thing in person.
When the two entered the house, Lin Qian carried the woman's body to the bed, and swept his eyes, but saw that the three magic books on the ground were still intact.
"Why are these three books still there?" Lin Qian was puzzled, so he had to ask Xiao Yi.
"Mother used the energy sealed in these three books to seal my secret arts, and now I am almost like an ordinary person. Xiao Yi understood her mother's thoughts, she didn't want to sacrifice herself again to save her, thinking of this, tears couldn't stop falling.
"Okay Xiaoyi, aunt, she just wants you to live well, let's put my aunt in the crystal coffin first, and then find a way to save her together, okay?" Although Lin Qian's words were comforting, they also gave Xiao Yi hope. Sealing the body from decay is nothing more than for the resurrection later, although the hope of resurrection is extremely slim.
"By the way, Xiaoyi, what did your aunt tell you in the letter?" Lin Qian asked with some curiosity.
"Mother told me everything," Xiao Yi raised her head to look at Lin Qian, and continued, "She asked me to tell you a word. β
"What words?" Lin Qianxin said, why didn't she tell herself personally.
"Never, never give up!"
Never give up! Lin Qian remembers this sentence very clearly, Xiao Yi also said it before he died, what does this sentence mean? Is he really giving up something? Or is he giving up something halfway?
"Give up what?" Lin Qian couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yi paused for a moment and said solemnly: "Hope for survival." β
