Chapter 35: Life and Death Are Unclear
When Qu Xin and I went downstairs, He Ling had already prepared breakfast. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info are beckoning us to come over.
This girl usually doesn't look very careful, but she is actually quite careful. From the preparation of this breakfast, it can be said that it is Chinese and Western, and Mu Feng, who is sick, has specially prepared a blood-replenishing soup.
After breakfast, He Ling said to us, "From now on, I will feed the insect spirit's cubs with Huaiyuan's blood, and it will take about a month or so. ”
"Is the insect spirit the white insect you threw at Chen Jianing's ghost that day?" I asked out loud.
"You're sharp-eyed." He Ling glanced at me and then continued to explain, "The insect spirit, like your ghost spirit snake, is very spiritual. However, compared to other spiritual creatures, insect spirits are more gentle, and it is easier to get close to people and merge into one. It's just that the survival rate of insect spirits is very low, and the lifespan is relatively short. Not one out of a hundred will survive. And even if they survive, they generally only have a lifespan of thirty or forty years. So every single one of them is my treasure. Saying that, he looked at Huai Yuan with a distressed face: "Now I know how good my sister is to you." ”
Huai Yuan nodded at her gratefully.
He Ling looked at Huaiyuan and seemed to be very satisfied with Huaiyuan's performance, and said with some pride: "This spirit worm is passed down from our ancestors. If it weren't for them, I don't know how many times I'd died over the years. ”
Mu Feng snorted coldly on the side and said, "Boast of your insect in the sky, but not in the ground." Let's hear what you can do. ”
"Hmph, there's not a scum left that can bite your soul. Why don't you try it? Said with a grim smile towards Mu Feng.
Mu Feng retreated back with palpitations before he said, "Don't scare people here, you have the ability to save Huaiyuan for me." ”
A few of us looked at the two of us crying and laughing, and we would fight as long as we got together.
He Ling didn't talk back this time, he snorted coldly and glanced at him, and continued: "Then I will brand the insect spirit and let them recognize Huaiyuan as the master." Wait for the previous preparations to be done. The most important thing is to start later, and the slightest mistake can be life-threatening. ”
"The process of separation from the body, although painful, is not the most dangerous. The most dangerous thing is to move the two spirits that have been stripped out into the body of the spirit worm, because doing so will inevitably lead to the spirit worm to resist. If in the end, the spirit worm can't accept it, or if it accepts it but can't live with these two spirits, then it may kill him. After He Ling finished speaking, he looked at Huaiyuan with a solemn expression.
Several of us also turned their heads to look at him, Huai Yuan smiled at everyone, and then said to He Ling seriously: "You can do it with confidence." If I can really survive, even if I don't deserve to die, if I die, it is fate. ”
Huaiyuan's relief did not ease our heavy feelings.
I stepped forward with a pretended calm and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Since it has been decided, it is good to be able to face it with such a calm attitude." ”
In the following days, He Ling stayed in the study every day and hardly came out.
It wasn't until a month later that they told us that the spirit worm had basically received Huaiyuan's blood.
Early this morning, I took the spirit worm into the study again. Start the first step and brand the insect spirit.
Branding is a very old method that dates back a long time, but is now largely lost. Each brand has its own unique approach and symbols. It is something that no one else can copy or imitate.
In the evening, He Ling walked out of the room with a tired face. Tell us things are going well. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Then came the saddest two levels.
Three days later, on the evening of the evening, He Ling stood at the door of the study and said solemnly to a few of us: "Don't come in for a while, no matter what happens." Spirit insects are very sensitive, and if they are frightened, the consequences are unimaginable. With the words, he took Huaiyuan in and closed the door. A few of us were left waiting at the door nervously.
The house was quiet all night and there was no sound. Because Mu Feng's injuries on his body had not healed, he had not rested all night, and his face was very tight. I urged him a few times to get him back to rest. He didn't even listen.
It was almost early in the morning, I couldn't help it, and said to Mu Feng with some anger: "Immediately let Qu Yan take you back to the room to rest, do you have any sadness in your heart?" ”
"Huaiyuan's life and death are uncertain now, and it is likely that he will never come out again. Now let me go to rest, how do you say I deserve to be called "brother" by him. Mu Feng sat on the ground and asked me with red eyes.
I didn't say anything, and sat down on the floor. Qu Xin stepped forward, put his hand on mine, and shook it vigorously.
After a while, he suddenly heard a miserable cry from the room: "Ah..."
Mu Feng and I both stood up in a panic and walked towards the study. Qu Xin took the first step and stepped forward to stop us: "Have you forgotten He Ling's words?" "Mu Feng and I had to retreat.
Huaiyuan's painful screams kept coming out of the room, and the pain was unbearable, and even we who were separated from the door felt the same way.
Mu Feng paced back and forth restlessly at the door with a pale face, and Qu Yan followed him to take care of him.
Qu Xin, who has always been self-contained and calm, is also sitting on a needle carpet at this moment. I was even more flustered and didn't know what to do.
The screaming continued until the early hours of the next morning, when it fell silent. But this kind of silence makes us have no master, we don't know the situation inside, and we can't go in. The waiting for the unknown is often the most torturous.
"Now we can't do anything if we're in a hurry, Mu Feng still has injuries on his body, and we can't stay without rest. So, I'll go and prepare something to eat, and after that, everyone will take turns to rest for a while. Something is going to come right away. Qu Yan said and turned around and went downstairs.
After eating, Qu Yan said that he took Mu Feng, who was pale and haggard, to rest. Early in the morning, the two of them came over to replace us.
In the early hours of the third day, the door to the study finally opened. He Ling was sweating profusely and walked out of it emaciated. He squeezed a smile at us: "It worked." After speaking, he fainted as soon as he rolled his eyelids, and was caught by Mu Feng, who was closest to the door.
A few of us hurriedly rushed into the room and saw Huai Yuan lying on the bed with a bloodless face, sleeping with a weak but steady breathing. A delicate white jade vial hung around his neck was very conspicuous.
He Ling woke up two days later, and his whole body looked much better.
Mu Feng said to her with a sincere face: "You made yourself like this this time to save Huaiyuan." If you want us to help in the future, just say it, and promise to go all out. ”
He Ling glanced at him with some disdain: "There is no need to go to the soup and the fire." Answer me, and one thing will be done. ”
Mu Feng patted his chest proudly and said: "Sensei said one thing, I promised ten things, and we will be buddies in the future." Say, what's the matter? ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I'm done." He Ling replied with a smile on his face that he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.
"Damn, how do I feel like I've been fooled? You say, don't you? Mu Feng turned his head and asked me.
"No, no. He Ling took half of his life to save Huaiyuan, did you promise her something. I replied to him with a serious face.
Mu Feng nodded thoughtfully. Then he seemed to react again, and scolded me angrily: "Get out of your uncle, then why don't you promise her one thing?" ”
"Which of us is with whom?" I patted him on the shoulder with a look of justice.
"Fuck your uncle." Mu Feng said and pushed me.
He Ling asked with a smile on the side, "Is Huaiyuan awake?" ”
Qu Xin shook his head at her: "Not yet." ”
"Well, he must be too weak. Now that it has succeeded, there is basically no danger to life. But whether there will be any side effects will not be known until he wakes up. He Ling nodded and said.
"Side effects? What are the side effects? Mu Feng asked on the side.
He Ling looked at us helplessly: "I don't know about this. For a while, the atmosphere froze again.
After a while, He Ling seemed to ease the atmosphere and said, "Huaiyuan is really good. You don't know that when he was stripped out of his body, it hurt like that, and he remained conscious. Said with a look of appreciation.
"Then something happened, and the spirit worm didn't know how to be frightened. For a whole day and a night, he refused to accept the two spirits to be moved in. It was a dangerous situation, and I thought I was going to fail. But he didn't expect that at the critical moment, Huaiyuan hypnotized the spirit worm. before it finally succeeded. ”
He Ling's words made us pinch a cold sweat and at the same time, we were all amazed that a twelve-year-old child could have such calmness and willpower.
At noon on the fourth day, Huai Yuan woke up leisurely.
