Chapter 37: A Change of Fate (1)

When I returned to Lingsenkaku, it was already dawn. It's just that on the third day of the official night hunt, so many people suddenly ran back, which is really a little confusing. But when he saw Mu Jinggong in Xuan Zhuyi's arms, he understood this matter a little bit. Speaking of which, Mu Zhixi was also worried and anxious, so she picked up Mu Jinggong and walked ten miles, but her daughter was helpless and her strength was insufficient, so she handed it over to Xuan Zhuyi. Mu Jinggong was sent to the Ling Doctor in Lingxian Pavilion, and like Yu Cihyuk, who appeared from a serious injury in the Mystery Bamboo Abyss last time, she was now lying quietly on the bed, and an old man with gray temples beside her was taking care of her.

Everyone stood outside the door and waited anxiously, and Mu Zhixi's face was full of tears. The old man pushed open the door of the bell doctor's room, walked out of it, walked in front of Mu Zhixi, and said, "Girl, is this your sister here?"

Mu Zhixi hurriedly nodded and responded, "It's the sister." How is she, old sir? ”

The old man said with a sad face: "It's not easy. Judging from the wounds, it was not ordinary human beings who hurt her. If I'm not mistaken, she's a disciple of Lingzun, right? ”

Mu Zhixi: "Exactly."

The old man stroked his long white beard and said, "That's right." The wound is in the internal organs and muscles and bones, and the force is very large. If this girl follows the Lingzun to practice light exercises, then she won't be able to continue even in the future. ”

Everyone looked at the old man in horror. The old man continued, "Muscles and bones! Those who practice martial arts know that whether it is practicing swordsmanship or practicing light skills, it is something that can be done by people who need strong muscles and bones. But the girl's situation is not very good. For one, her heart was already hurt, so I didn't recommend any intense fights for her. Second, her muscles and bones are very fragile at this time, and she is afraid that her hands will not be able to hold this sword. Also, when you brought her to me, she was bleeding too much. Even though I've stopped bleeding now, she'll still be in a coma for a long time. ”

Mo Yinfeng: "Wouldn't that become a waste?" Lingxian Pavilion doesn't raise waste people. ”

Shang Ling: "Are you finished?" You don't care about human life! Whether you stay in Lingxian Pavilion or not, that's not up to you! Hurry up and shut your mouth. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Old gentleman? My sister, can her life be saved? ”

The old man looked up at the sun and said, "Yes." Then he lowered his head and looked at Mu Zhixi and said, "But just like the boy just said, Lingxian Pavilion is a place of cultivation after all, and if you don't do anything, it really seems a little abrupt." You're her sister and now she's unconscious, and I think there's one thing you can make for her first. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Old gentleman, please speak."

The old man smiled and said, "I want to accept her as my apprentice and learn medical skills, what do you think?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Mu Zhixi knelt on the ground and said, "Old man, thanks to you for saving my sister and accepting her as an apprentice, how can I not agree?" You're the one who helped us two sisters. ”

The old man helped Mu Zhixi up and said with a smile: "It's okay, this bell clinic has always been me alone, and multiple people are also considered multiple companions, which is good." Besides, I was happy when I saw this child for the first time, and this is fate. Although she can't hold a sword, she can still hold my needle. ”

Mu Zhixi was moved: "Thank you."

Xuan Zhuyi: "Old man, how is the other girl sent in?"

The old gentleman looked at Xuan Zhuyi and said, "That girl! Someone should have controlled it. I saw a small hole on both of her wrists and two deep marks on her neck. It should have been entangled by someone before. Those two traces are very thin and may be lines. But the mark is very deep, it should not be an ordinary thread, it may be a golden thread. ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "Golden threads? Is it silk? ”

Old man: "Yes! But it's not ordinary silk, it should also have some gold water, uh...... There are also some spells. ”

Shang Ling: "Does that prove that the people who make the golden threads are not humans?"

The old man subconsciously touched his beard and said, "You can also say that, in short, it is definitely not an ordinary person." Let's take Jinshui as an example, how can ordinary people have that kind of thing? Also, to combine these two, that is, refining, there should be a tripod to specialize in this kind of thing. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Sir, do you know about puppetry?"

"Puppetry?" The old man thought for a moment, "I've heard of it." Golden threads are used for this. Some people will inject their spiritual power into the golden thread, so that it will be easier to control things. There are also people who inject their spiritual power only after the golden thread is refined. But in the end, the strength of control is a little weaker than the previous one. You can control some small things, but something as big as a human should be the first kind of refining. ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "I see. Sir, the two of them will be handed over to you, we still have something to do, so let's go first. ”

Old man: "Well, it doesn't matter. Pay attention to safety, otherwise I won't be able to live in this bell doctor's room. ”

Everyone said goodbye to the old man and returned to Bai Ming Village. The wild things that were held by the fire yesterday are still in their place, and the fire has long been extinguished. The crowd examined the traps that had been laid yesterday and found that they had all been destroyed. In desperation, everyone had to go back to the grass house where they lived before. As night slowly fell, everyone was ready to fight. It was about midnight when everyone heard a low roar coming from the entrance of the village, just like the monster they had heard attacking Mu Jinggong the night before. Everyone went to the window and looked through the gap to the entrance of the village. I saw a thick fog filling the entrance of the village, and a figure more than two meters tall stood motionless at the entrance of the village.

Xuan Zhuyi: "Huh? Shang Ling? Is this shadow higher than what we saw before? ”

Shang Ling: "Hmm! It's a lot higher. ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "Could it be that this thing will grow on its own?"

Mu Zhixi: "Ha! That's not for sure. ”

Everyone stared with bated breath at the dark shadow at the entrance of the village. Yu Tzu Hyuk withdrew from the ranks of the crowd and stood alone behind the door of the grass house, observing the situation through the crack in the door. The door of the opposite house was always open, and the fire kept burning, and after about half an hour, the fire in the opposite house was suddenly blocked by something, Yu Cihe didn't know when he grabbed a handful of salt in his hand, and when he saw that the fire was blocked, he hurriedly threw out a part of the salt from the gap. The fire in the opposite house instantly returned to Yu Tsze-hyuk's eyes. Yu Tzu Hyuk pointed to the roof of the house and whispered to everyone, "The corpse is on it." Xuan Zhuyi took out his sword and poked at the top of the grass house randomly, probably just poking something, and everyone heard a slight noise from the roof. Yu Cihyuk immediately opened the door of the grass house, and at the same time, a dark wind blew in. Everyone clearly saw a dozen shiny things entering the grass house. Yu Tzu Hyuk flicked the whip, and the ice crack immediately ignited a fire. Yu Tzu Hyuk flung the Ice Cracker at the dozen shiny things, and they all exited the grass house alertly when they touched the fire.

Xuan Zhuyi: "Wow! You're a great treasure! Doesn't it mean that real gold is not afraid of fire? Why are they afraid of your fire? It can't be a golden thread, right? ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "This is pure fire, which is a little different from ordinary fire."

Ouyang Ruolin suddenly exclaimed, "That thing at the entrance of the village is gone."

As soon as the words fell, the top of the grass house suddenly collapsed as if it had been hit hard by some divine power. Everyone dodged to the side and stood opposite Yu Cihyuk. The fire in the opposite house was also suddenly extinguished, and Yin Huashang and the others also stood vigilantly on both sides. The stars in the night sky do not make everyone feel relaxed, but some hint that this is the last calm before the storm. Sure enough, a moment later, the ground began to sink as well, and it didn't stop until a huge crater formed. From the bottom of the pit stretched out a hand that was so highly decomposed that even the bones could be clearly seen. With the appearance of the hand, a strange-looking head also broke through the ground. Two prominent eyes stared at Yu Ci Hyuk who was standing alone, as if Yu Ci Hyuk had killed him, and there seemed to be some deep hatred between the two. Yu Tzu-hyuk threw the whip down with disdain, hitting the corpse's protruding skull. As if he had been abused, he roared and turned to Xuan Zhuyi and the others.

Shang Ling: "Huh? Dead are dead! Why is he still a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard? And is there a little ambition! ”

Xuan Zhuyi also swung his sword and slashed at the skull of the dead corpse, and the dead corpse retreated to the ground with interest.

Shang Ling: "Hey! What a mighty Lord do I think? What a bluff! Come out again, you? I can't kill you! ”

Everyone else couldn't help but chuckle lightly, but Yin Huasheng's voice made everyone even more shocked. Everyone smiled and ran to the opposite side, but they could only stand at the door. I saw that the ground had collapsed into a hollow, and there were eerie laughter from the endless hole. Yu Tzu-hyuk lit a fire with an ice cracker and approached the entrance of the cave, looking at everyone with a pale face. Everyone was stunned, and Yu Tzu He almost took off the ice cracker. The face in the cave was that of a woman, whether it was smeared with fat powder or by itself, and it was as white as the salt it had eaten to make a painting. His facial features are clear, his eyebrows are as black as this hole, his eyes are as big as brass bells, his nose is high, and his lips are as red as if he had drunk blood. Yu Tzu-hyuk then used the Ice Cracker Whip to illuminate it downward, but found that it seemed to be a face, with no limbs and no body. Xuan Zhuyi stepped forward and swung his sword at the cave, and then there was a crisp sound. Yu Cihyuk moved the ice cracker to the edge of the hole, and everyone realized that the hole was not deep, but there was actually an urn inside. Several male disciples carried the urn up in fear, and found that the woman had actually had her limbs cut off and was placed in the urn. I don't know how long it took to be in it, but someone buried her in the ground. Everyone looked at this woman, and felt a kind of desolation and gloom spreading through her body. The woman suddenly spoke, and let out a shrill sound.

"How? Is it good-looking? ”

Everyone was shocked. Xuan Zhuyi plucked up his courage and said, "Are you still alive?"

"What do you think?"

Xuan Zhuyi: "Who made you like this?"

"It's me."

Shang Ling: "Are you crazy?" To be so? ”

"I'm just crazy."

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "That corpse is your accomplice."

"That's my son."

Yin Huashang: "Your son?!" How old are you? With such a big son?! ”

"How old do you think I am?"

Xuan Zhuyi: "Maybe it's ...... Three...... It's more than thirty. ”

"Hahahaha!" Another shrill laugh came, "More than thirty? I'm seventy years old, old lady! ”

"Seventy?!" Shang Ling's eyes widened, "Who are you fooling?" When we were children? ”

"In my eyes, you are just a bunch of casual little leather kids."

Shang Ling: "What about your son?" Why did he harm the villagers? Hurt us?! ”

"My son is not like you. The people in the village are all ghosts, all evil spirits. You are all evil spirits, too! Only my son loves me and loves me alone. Hahahaha! ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "I'm afraid you two are evil ghosts."

The woman in the urn widened her eyes, and a cloud of black gas overflowed from the urn. Faintly, the black qi turned into two hands and stretched out to everyone. The woman said viciously, "Do you know why I am so young and beautiful? I want to live forever. My son wants it too, and he'll help me. You guys! You people! All have to help me. Help us. Eternal life! The two black qi transformed hands stretched out longer and longer towards everyone, and finally turned into two black snakes, spitting black qi and biting everyone. Xuan Zhuyi slashed down with a sword, and the black snake was broken into two, but it instantly gathered together. Everyone quickly turned around and exited, but as soon as they turned around, they encountered something more than two meters high blocking in front of everyone.
