Chapter Fifty-Six: Substitution

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, Linchuan is a different land, not as comfortable as the comfortable climate of Yecheng, which is used to living, and it is okay during the day, but at night, the cold is more biting.

The cold air invades the body, which can cause old heart and lung diseases the most, and it is a big taboo for Liu Shi. Sure enough, after taking care of Xuanyuan Qi for a few hours, he rested in the room next to him, and at the third watch, Liu Shi suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart.

After a while, his former pale face had slowly appeared two or three points of cyanosis, and his life was worry-free, but this pass really made him unable to sleep peacefully.

Tossing and turning for a long time, unable to close his eyes, without the slightest sleep, Liu Shi simply sat up, put on a coat at will, and got off the bed, he wanted to go to see Xuanyuan Qi.

Unexpectedly, due to the invasion of the cold air around him, his hands and feet were almost stiff, he just took a step, and he didn't pay attention to the potholes under his feet, the missing wooden planks on the ground, he tripped himself up, he took a breath of cool air, and his chest was even more stinging.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" wheezing and coughing, Liu Shi was so sad for a while, he wanted to go to the next room to take a look at Xuanyuan Qi, who he couldn't rest assured, but the current physical condition made him sit cross-legged on the cold and damp ground.

"Knock", the dilapidated window flute seems to be blown open by the wind, and the window paper full of holes is also "rumbling", although it is due to the weakness of the martial arts, but at the same time he is also keenly aware that someone is coming, more than one person.

However, when Liu Shi raised his head to look, he saw a pair of dark green eyes in the darkness, which immediately shocked him.

"It's okay, he's a little black, and he doesn't hurt anyone."

Yu Qinglin's familiar voice came from the darkness behind Liu Shi, he slowly helped Liu Shi up, and immediately started to point a few key points on Liu Shi's chest, and immediately crossed a gentle qi from the lifeline of Liu Shi's wrist, although it could not solve his chronic disease, but in the end, it made Liu Shi's face gradually retreat.

"Mr. Yu, this is ......"

"I have told you before, that girl's illness needs to be a good student to find a clean place to recuperate, you are going to Linchuan, there is still half a month away, all the way to the carriage and horses, whether it is you or her, I am afraid it will not last long. That's why I brought Xiao Hei here. ”

As he spoke, Yu Qinglin raised his right hand and made a spell, "The Tao is born one, and the life is two......"

The Dao Gate Miracle Technique was completed, and there was still a giant beast with dark green eyes in the dark, and it immediately turned into a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, but he still maintained the posture of being a wolf, squatting there.

Seeing this, Yu Qinglin helped his forehead slightly, in fact, his plan was very risky, after all, although this little black has a human form, but he can't understand human language, if he wants to speak, I'm afraid it will only be a wolf howl.

Under the faint moonlight, Xiao Hei squatted on the ground and leaned forward in the direction of Yu Qinglin, and it was this move that made Yu Qinglin and Liu Shi both gently see the pair of wolf ears on the head of the young man in front of them, covered with a layer of shiny black fur, standing there very abruptly.

"Mr. Yu...... Yu Dao Chang...... Although he couldn't find a suitable candidate to replace the prince for a while, he was ...... Wouldn't it be risky? ”

Dumbfounded, Liu Shi watched the pair of wolf ears move slightly, and the young man in front of him, who was still a little wolf-shaped, suddenly opened his mouth and whimpered in a low voice.

Asking and whimpering, Yu Qinglin turned around suddenly, with his hands behind his back, and the dust in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Ahem...... The art of transfiguration, I'm not as good as the other person, Xiao Hei he...... Although I can't say it, but I am also empathetic, while the sky is not clear, I immediately take Xuanyuan Qi back to Zhishui Peak, as long as I am cautious along the way, and when I get to Linchuan, I will bring people back again, there is no big problem. ”

"Be careful, it's all right?"

Liu Shi asked worriedly, but Yu Qinglin, who was extremely weak-hearted, swaggered all the way to face him, pulled one of Xiao Hei's hands, opened the door, and planned to change someone.

knew that this plan was really unsafe, but out of helplessness, Liu Shi had no choice but to follow lightly.

"Mr. Yu, this is ......"

The door of Xuanyuan Qi's room was pushed open halfway, Yu Qinglin, Xiao Hei and Liu Shi cautiously squeezed in, Mrs. Yan looked at the young man who wanted to squat on the ground, but was pulled up by Yu Qinglin, and her heart was a little clear, but she was still not at ease after all.

"Mrs. Yan, the prince is weak, and he is infected with such a vicious disease, she is afraid that she can't stand the bumps in the carriage and horses for half a month, I want to take her back to Zhishui Peak to recuperate her body, so I specially found this safe child, to replace the prince for ten days and half a month, you can rest assured, this child is just a little introverted, afraid of life, and does not like to talk to people......"

Liu Shi listened silently on the side, and had to nod silently. He is clear, this Taoist priest from Zhishui Peak is so able to speak the Tao.

At this time, Xiao Hei, who had been dragged by the force to stand aside and turned into a human form, was uncomfortable, scratching the bun in his hair with both hands, and the original pair of wolf ears that had not melted away were hidden in two buns, in addition, the "ears" that were conjured on both sides of the brain were just good-looking and useless, which undoubtedly made him not only unable to hear the sound of the outside world, but also felt that a pair of ears were tightly tied.

"Ahem...... In this way, the child will be bothered to take care of the two of them for a few days, and I will take the prince back to Zhishui Peak for healing. ”

Yu Qinglin said, pushed Xiao Hei to Mrs. Yan's hand, and picked Xuanyuan Qi up from the couch steadily. A palm stroked his forehead, burning hot hands, and the red rash on his face and neck was more than before, and he didn't know if it was from the pox epidemic or the bite of mosquitoes, but there was no doubt that Xuanyuan Qi's illness could not be delayed any longer.

"You two can rest assured, you will be back in half a month."

Yu Qinglin said, holding Xuanyuan Qi and about to walk outside the house, but Mrs. Yan hurriedly stopped him.

"Mr. Yu, I don't know...... Don't know the child's last name? ”

Hearing this, Yu Qinglin paused, Lingtai was clear, and Zhiguang suddenly flashed, and those three words almost immediately came out of his mind.

"Huang Pilang, this son's name is Huang Pilang, and he is my apprentice. However, you can also call him Blackie. ”

As he spoke, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood, Yu Qinglin took out one hand and wrote down these three words with his index finger in Liu Shi's palm.

"Huang Pilang, a wolf, Dao Chief, took such great pains to come up with this name, are you afraid that others will not know that he is a wolf?"

Muttering silently in his heart, Liu Shi frowned slightly and couldn't help but shake his head.

And here, when he shook his head, Yu Qinglin took Xuanyuan Qi away. turned around, but Liu Shi saw Huang Pilang squatting on the ground again, obviously, this was his former normal.

"Huang Pilang, Pilang, it's late at night, why don't you go to my room to rest?"

Although he probably knew what Yu Qinglin, who had just left for a while, had left him behind, and why he had left him here. But in the end, he didn't understand people's words, and Xiao Hei didn't respond to "Huang Pilang", the name he just had. What's more, his pair of wolf ears were tightly tied, and he could barely hear what Liu Shi was saying, let alone understand it.

"Sure enough, this child is very recognized, so Shi'er will take him to the next door to rest first, so I won't bother much."

Seeing that Mrs. Yan's eyes were gradually wrong, Liu Shi was afraid of revealing the stuffing, and he had to explain it when the time came, but he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly in a few words. So, he also followed Yu Qinglin's example, put his two hands under the armpits of Huang Pilang, half-hugged and half-drag, and led him to the next room.

It was night, and a man and a wolf slept peacefully, and nothing went wrong. Early the next morning, Na Pilang sat in the carriage with Mrs. Yan and Liu Shi and went on the road as usual.

Everything was according to Yu Qinglin's thoughts, and the supervisor did not have the slightest suspicion.

However, Xuanyuan Qi, who was brought back to Zhishui Peak for treatment and recuperation, was far from getting better as expected.

When Yu Qinglin brought back to Zhishui Peak from a foreign land thousands of miles away, Zhishui Peak also happened to be a cold winter full of snow. Although there was no raging wind, Xuanyuan Qi, who was wrapped in a snow coat, was red because of the high heat, and people were trembling constantly.

Seeing this, Yu Qinglin also quickened his pace again and again, and went straight to the bamboo garden on the top of the mountain.

"Boom!" The door of the bamboo garden was slammed open without accident, and Fei'er, who was obediently sitting in the inner room copying scriptures, knew without looking up that this must be her uncle.

"Huh? It's the sister that Xiao Hei brought back last time, what's wrong with her?! ”

Although he was a few years older than when he last saw him, his appearance had not changed much, and Fei'er still recognized Xuanyuan Qi at a glance.

It's just that her eyes are a little lost, originally, she thought that what Yu Qinglin brought back would be Xiao Hei.

"She's sick, Fei'er, go and decoct the medicine I prepared first and give it to her."

Yu Qinglin said, and before she had time to ask more, Fei'er hurriedly ran to the medicine room at the back of the house to decoct the medicine obediently. And Yu Qinglin gave Xuanyuan Qi a good probe of the pulse.

Sure enough, for no reason, the sudden sudden illness was not a pox epidemic, but a Gu poison that was lurking through this sign.

"It's good, how did you get poisoned, and where did you get it?"

Yu Qinglin pondered, and in his mind, he had been thinking about what kind of Gu poison Xuanyuan Qi had fallen into, and how to resolve it.

However, he gave up halfway through his medical learning and learned swords, this Gu poison, he really didn't know how to do it. Right now, if he wants to save Xuanyuan Qi's life, I'm afraid, he still has to go back to Yecheng again.

"Hmm...... Out of the uncle! Xuanyuan Qi, who was unconscious and unconscious, only felt that there was a burst of fire all over her body, as if someone was about to throw her into the fire and burn.

At the same time, when she was so sad, there seemed to be the most terrifying scene in front of her.

On the high castle tower, a young man dressed in white was directly pushed down by another man, and the man who pushed the person was still holding the back coat of a young child in his hand, so that she witnessed the tragic death of her loved one.

"Woo-ah-ah!" It was a well-spoken toddler, but at this moment, he couldn't shout a word, he was frightened and frightened, just crying until he was hoarse.

"Out of the uncle, out of the uncle! It's hot! ”

The man who killed the man did not seem to have any intention of sparing the innocent child, he still clung to the child's coat, as if he was being a prey, and hung the child upside down on top of a brazier, and occasionally there were one or two sparks that burst out, which immediately blistered the child's delicate face and neck.

"Ahem...... Woo aaa Her already hoarse throat was choked by the smoke and fire at this time, but the man who was holding her still seemed to think that the kitten-like cry was too noisy, and without saying a word, he lifted her up again and covered her mouth tightly with his palm!

The feeling of suffocation, the scorching tongue of fire, and the vicious man in front of her who killed her all terrified.

"Out of the uncle! Come out and save me! Out of the !! ”

The person who was most assured to trust and rely on in her heart, the blue figure of a father who really doted on her, dangled vaguely in front of her eyes, but she never approached, Xuanyuan Qi hurriedly stretched out her hand, wanting to grab the man's sleeve as before, but at the moment when her fingertips touched, the shadow that was as blurred as water light dispersed like a cigarette.

Nothing was left, as if it had been an unreachable phantom from the beginning.

"Out of the !!"

At the mouth of the heart, the pain was like a knife, and Xuanyuan finally knew that her uncle would never come back.
