Chapter 62: The Demon
"I'll help you turn over, don't force yourself." The Seventh Prince instructed. Seeing that Liu Xiaohua didn't say anything, she said again, "Did you hear it?" β
Liu Xiaohua felt that he was completely fussed. Obviously I can get up by myself, and now I don't feel much pain, why do you still make such a fuss.
But the face of the Seventh Prince was a solemnity that she had never seen before, in her impression, the Seventh Prince was a completely unobtrusive person, and it was probably not a trivial matter to be able to make him change his face, so she was also apprehensive and agreed: "En." β
The Seventh Prince took a deep breath and bowed down to carefully turn her over. It was just a simple action, but it seemed to consume all his strength, and his forehead was full of sweat. When Liu Xiaohua turned over, his face was simply pale. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "Don't be afraid." I'll go find your master. It's going to be fine. β
Liu Xiaohua followed his gaze down and saw her own body.
Then she finally understood why the Seven Princes were so close to the enemy-a long piece of wood was deeply rooted in her chest.
Presumably when she fell, she fell right next to the pine tree, where there was an old stump with a half-cut jaw.
I don't know what kind of tree it is, but now it's covered in blood, and I can't see its original appearance. It was because she was poked on this stake just now that she hung half-suspended on the cliff, not falling, but also retreating without moving.
Liu Xiaohua looked at the tip of the stump poked out of her chest, thinking that when she reached such a life-threatening situation, under the influence of that thing in her body, she was bound to go crazy.
But unexpectedly, her mood was unusually calm.
She was so calm that she was a little skeptical that she had figured out that she was going to die now.
It's none other than herself! Why not be afraid.
"Don't go. Piercing the heart. It's useless to look for Master. Her voice was not flustered. On the contrary, it was terrifyingly calm: "As long as the spiritual energy of the monk remains, he can continue his life." If a mortal passes through his heart, he will surely die. "This is written in the Codex. Word by word, she remembered it so clearly.
"What then?" The Seventh Prince staggered and sat on the ground, staring at his bloody hands. It looks like there is a living person who wants to die in front of him.
"I don't know." Liu Xiaohua wanted to move and lie down comfortably. But she found that although she didn't feel pain, her body couldn't move at all.
The Seventh Prince hurriedly came over and asked her to rest on his lap.
The two of them were silent for a long time in the mist.
Liu Xiaohua looked at the blue sky on the vast sea of clouds, and her mind was blank.
And the Seventh Prince was also at a loss. This was probably the first time he had ever been exposed to the word 'death' so closely. After a while, he cautiously asked, "Liu Xiaohua, are you okay?" Ever felt like you were dying? "Quite scared.
Liu Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh softly and replied, "It doesn't seem to be yet." β
"Do you hurt then?"
"It doesn't hurt much." She had been lying down for so long, but she didn't have any near-death pain yet.
"Can't you just salvage it? It's not okay to do surgery or anything, but since you and they are respected as immortals, there will always be a way to save people, right? The Seven Princes held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Even if the head is cut off, as long as it is saved in time, it can be taken back, but it can't be broken." Liu Xiaohua looked at the exposed wooden stake on her chest, and had a very unreal feeling.
"According to it, it should be that the head was cut off, so it can't be saved, right?" The Seventh Prince said, "Aren't people's thoughts stored in their heads? All kinds of neurons or something. β
As he spoke, he suddenly asked excitedly: "You say, can we find some animal, dig out its heart and paste some charm, and put it on for you!" What a pig, a dog. β
After he finished speaking, he immediately felt that his idea was good, and he was about to stand up, "You must not die." I'm going to find it for you! β
Liu Xiaohua said suddenly: "Wait." β
"What's wrong?" He tensed, "Do you feel like you're dying?" Don't be afraid, I'll go to your master right now. Get you a heart, you will do it first! β
"It's not!" Liu Xiaohua motioned for him to shut up and asked him, "You say, a normal person was pierced in the heart, did he die on the spot?" Why haven't I died now? β
The Seventh Prince said anxiously: "I don't know either." This is the first time I've ever experienced something like this. You say, now I can't do any first aid for you, there's nowhere to press it! β
The two of them stared at each other.
After another moment, the Seventh Prince trembled and stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes. Liu Xiaohua couldn't cry or laugh: "What are you doing!" β
"I saw that you didn't move, and I thought you were dead." The Seventh Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not that I don't move, I can't move." Liu Xiaohua found that her eyelids couldn't be covered. I can't even move my eyes, I can't even look anywhere else. His speech gradually became a little slurred.
She suddenly realized that it might be that soon, she was about to lose control of this body completely. It reminded her of what had happened after she had left the castle.
Liu Xiaohua thought of her original idea.
Perhaps, she was right at the time.
At that time, she wondered, why would there be a person who did not eat for so long, but did not starve to death? Why is there a person who has been trapped in the ice and snow for so long, but has not frozen to death?
Then a thought crossed her mind. Maybe it's not immortality.
She's been dead many times. It's just that she doesn't know it.
She died in the snow. But Ji Roku rescued her into the carriage, and she left the deadly environment and came back to life. But she thought that her body was too weak to get life-sustaining nourishment, and she would die again. That's why I sometimes fall into a coma. Because Ji Liu didn't think at all, if she didn't die, she would naturally not feed her, nor would she think of other ways to give her nutrition.
In the beginning, she was in a coma for a long time. Maybe it's because the thing in her body isn't mature, or that thing doesn't understand death at all, doesn't understand human physiology, and can't master its own power proficiently. It wasn't until it discovered that this state was bad, bad for itself, and bad for its host, that it began to use its own power to keep her alive.
It may even be said that the thing was hurt in some way during her death, which is why it was so afraid of death later. The cup bow snake shadow does not hesitate to expose its own existence, and when it encounters the slightest thing that it finds terrible, it will start to scream madly in her head.
Liu Xiaohua pressed her beating heart and decided to give it a try, anyway, now it is a dead horse as a live horse doctor. He sank his heart and said, "Help me β‘β‘ the wooden thorns!" β
But the Seventh Prince looked at the wooden stake that was stuck in her chest, and was a little afraid to start, "This, this is pulled, your chest is a big hole." Otherwise, let's go to the master. β
"I can't last that long." Liu Xiaohua said hurriedly. It's okay to say if she dies, but if she sleeps like last time, the people on the mountain think she's dead and bury her. After all, with such a big hole in her chest, no one would think that she would still live.
"You pull it out!" Her voice was getting more and more muffled.
The Seventh Prince's hand trembled, and with a painful look on his face, he stretched out his hand and retracted it again, stretched it out and retracted it again. I can't do it at all.
"I won't die if I pull it out. Pull it out!! Liu Xiaohua said angrily: "Don't be like a little girl, okay!" β
"Won't die in such a big hole?" The Seventh Prince's face was the same as a bitter gourd: "Don't lie to me." I'm not stupid! β
"Yes. You're not stupid. You're smart! "Liu Xiaohua is about to be rushed to death by him" It's all this time, is it fun for me to lie to you? If I don't pull it out, I'm really going to be pitted to death! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have let you go! β
The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth: "Then I really pulled it out." He grabbed the exposed stake with both hands and took a deep breath. Close your eyes and jerk outward.
Liu Xiaohua only felt that her chest was empty, and after a short period of numbness, the pain poured into her whole body. But she could no longer make a sound, and could only bear this unstoppable rage alive, with her eyes open, motionless. With the pain into the bones comes the turbulent survival**. This thought of not wanting to die almost turned into a scream, vibrating in her mind. Then Liu Xiaohua found that she could move again.
She gasped violently, watching as the blood gushing from her chest slowly stopped automatically, and the flesh that had been turned over began to heal in a very sluggish and slow way. The pain caused by this process almost made her faint. The thought kept popping up in my head - it wouldn't hurt to fall asleep. The thought made her dizzy.
"You, how are you?" The Seventh Prince ran over and wanted to help her, but there was nowhere to start. She tossed on the ground like a dying fish.
"I'll go find Shizun!" When the Seventh Prince saw her wounds, those flesh and bones seemed to be conscious, slowly growing together.
"This ...... You...... You...... You are a demon......" The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around in panic and wanted to run.
Liu Xiaohua immediately grabbed the feet of the Seventh Prince at a speed beyond ordinary people, "Don't!" β
The Seventh Prince's voice became high-pitched, and his face was full of fear: "... You, you let go of me! β¦β
"I'm fine! I'm really fine. I am human. You, don't be afraid. Liu Xiaohua struggled and said.
The hand would not let go.
She desperately kept her eyes open, controlling herself not to fall asleep, because she knew that she could not lose consciousness.
As soon as she loses consciousness, the panicked Seventh Prince may immediately run to the main hall to tell the others.
That would be a complete loss of control.
The elder brother said that she was just possessed by something that had not yet been discovered, and that this thing was not necessarily evil, so he didn't take it seriously. He believes that this thing can't stir up much wind and waves before it matures. Even if it is out of control, it is within the scope of control.
However, if the senior brother knows about it, she will not die......
It is also said in the Codex. It is impossible for a person not to die. Even if it is an immortal venerable who has cultivated to a high level, there is a day when the spiritual platform collapses, and if he is hit hard, he will definitely die. No matter how strong the world's magic and cultivation are, they can't cure a person who has been severely injured to a critical organ.
It is obvious that it is impossible to maintain the immortality of a living person under heavy blows - but this thing has done it. Even the Codex says that there is no cure for the broken. It kept her alive.
This shows that it has not yet matured, and its power is already terrifying.
Liu Xiaohua couldn't imagine what would happen if Senior Brother knew. Will she also think that she is a demon?
A small evil can destroy many sects, if this thing is born............ Even if you believe her, will Senior Brother and Master really put everyone's lives on 'believing in her'?
A little Liu Xiaohua, compared with the world, who is lighter and who is heavier? !
If the master is forced to attack a disciple again, will he still be able to live?!
Can't let people know!
No one can know!!
She's going to live.
She didn't want to die.
The thought was frantically screaming.
Liu Xiaohua stared at the Seventh Prince and said with a smile: "I was just bitten by something, I am a human." I am human. It's true. β
Hands gripped him tightly, trying to drag him back.
There was only one thought in her mind, she couldn't let him sue anyone else.
The Seven Princes shook off with a slam kick.
After all, he is a boy, and he has much more strength than a girl in an emergency. kicked Liu Xiaohua away in a flash, turned around and ran.
Liu Xiaohua watched his back disappear into the sea of clouds. But he still desperately stretched out his hand to that side in vain, "I, I'm human!" I'm human! β
She thought she might be crying, something was coming out of her eyes, it was warm, the pain in her body made her almost die, but she was still crying "I'm human!" β
Her heart was panicked and afraid, except for this sentence, it seemed that she didn't know how to say anything else. She screamed blankly, got no response, and thought, this is not going to work, she has to get out of here.
γRunγ
[Run! γ
But she couldn't crawl. Her body was not fully recovered, and the hole in her chest was still leaking with wind.
At this time, in the direction where the Seven Princes left, there were footsteps again. Liu Xiaohua turned her head suddenly.
The Seven Princes, who had left, ran back. The panicked expression on his face disappeared, and he stared at Liu Xiaohua, who was not far away, for a long time, not knowing what to think, forcibly calmed himself down, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm not afraid, I'm not going." I don't sue anyone. β
He plucked up his courage and walked back to Liu Xiaohua's side.
Liu Xiaohua immediately stretched out her other hand to grab him tightly. The strength was so great that it seemed to be strangled into his flesh.
"Don't be afraid. I won't tell anyone, I'll protect you. You know, the Holy Emperor is deadβit's my father? He's dead. If you hadn't let me stay here, I'd have died a long time ago. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to get here, and I would have died in the Seven Princes' Mansion. It's like you protected me. You didn't let them kill me, and I won't let anyone else hurt you. I'm a big man, and I ...... talk," the Seventh Prince's hands trembled.
He took a breath, squeezed out a very ugly soothing smile, and reached out to touch her head, as if comforting a mad kitten, "Don't be afraid. Shh It's okay. I scared you just now, Uncle Ben is very bold, what is a monster. β
Liu Xiaohua's eyes were full of doubts and fear, like animals whose safety was threatened, vigilant and murderous. Glared at him viciously. It seems that he will pounce at any time, whether it is pinching or biting, and try his best to kill him and protect himself.
"It doesn't matter if you're a human or a youkai...... The master will protect you. The Seventh Prince said loudly. But the voice is clearly shaking. He squatted down, but he didn't dare to touch her without permission, and reached out to Liu Xiaohua, "Come on." Can you move? Let's go back to the house first. β
Liu Xiaohua stared at him, staring at his hand.
It took a long time to slowly put his hand on his hand. Then, grabbing his wrist quickly, it was easy to squeeze out a sentence from between his clenched teeth: "Don't go." I'm scared. Then he couldn't help himself and cried, "I'm human." I really am human. I'm not going to hurt anyone. β
