[10] Soul renewal
"Big brother, I beg you, I really beg you." I knelt in front of the man's toes, "bang, bang", and knocked my head three times harder, knocking the skin on my forehead until I couldn't knock it anymore, and blood gushed out.
I looked up and could just see the blood staining my cheeks.
"Xiaofan, I won't do loss-making business." A hint of emotion flashed across the man's face, but it was quickly replaced by fortitude, "So don't waste your efforts in vain. He said.
Boom Boom Boom ...... Three more hits.
The skin is torn and the flesh is broken.
But so what? As long as the man doesn't agree, I keep kowtowing, kowtowing to him agreeing, or kowtowing until I die.
"Xiaofan, why are you doing this?" The man sighed and tried to persuade me.
Boom Boom Boom ...... Without saying a word, I came three more times.
It made my eyes glaze out.
"Your sister is going to hell sooner or later, what's the use of you doing this?" The man took this and pressed me again.
Earlier, I said that my sister was going to die, give me the energy in her body, and I could become stronger and avenge Xiaoai, but I didn't agree.
Now, she has to talk about this, she thinks it's not worth it, for him, Xiao Ai will die sooner or later, what is the difference between a few days and a month in this world? But for me, it means a lot. So, I'm not going to give up.
Boom Boom Boom ...... I couldn't keep my eyes open, and I was shaking.
"Okay, okay, don't knock, I promise you, I feel distressed when I look at it." The man waved his hand and nodded helplessly, as if he was sincerely moved by me.
In fact, just now, he had already turned his attention to the ghost sister for help, but the ghost sister didn't look over, indifferent, and didn't stop my behavior in the slightest.
He knew at that time that I could be together with the ghost sister for as long as we could, but he suffered him, wasted energy, and didn't earn anything, this time, he lost a lot of money.
"Thank you." I just got up and said thank you, but the next second I fell down......
When I woke up, I was still lying on the same bed, but my forehead was wrapped in a strap, and I held my temple, which hurt a little.
The man and the ghost sister were by my side, the ghost sister looked worried, and the man looked depressed.
"I said you didn't even want your life to be with your sister's soul." The man blamed me.
I asked brightly, "Big brother, when will you start renewing my sister's soul?" ”
"Three days later." The man really doesn't know what to say about me, it's all here, and he's still thinking about renewing the ghost girl's soul, it's really ...... Incorrigible.
"Why three days later? Isn't it right now? I asked anxiously, this kind of thing, of course, is better to implement as soon as possible, otherwise I will think about it when I sleep.
"Do you know that there is an idiom that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it?" The man glanced at me, "I have to prepare materials and tools in these three days, and you must know that renewing the soul is a very painful thing, and it will be a very great torture for you and your sister's soul." ”
"Uh...... What does this have to do with me? I pointed to my chin, confused. Ghost sister continues to be a ghost, what are you doing with me?
"Oh, this kind of thing, I can't explain it for a while. In short, you must know that you have to heal your injuries as soon as possible within these three days, otherwise it will be easy to be in danger when you renew your soul. The man shook his head and said quite solemnly, this is really not a joke, if there is a slight mistake in the renewal of the soul, not only will the ghost sister and I be wiped out, but even he will be implicated.
After all, this is a forbidden technique that violates the principles of heaven.
"Okay, I got it." I nodded heavily, vaguely looking forward to the renewal of the soul in three days......
Three days flew by, and during this time, the man went out and never returned.
While I was recuperating from my injuries, I was chatting happily with the ghost sister, making a plan, what would I do in a month? How can you spend this month meaningfully?
Today is the fourth day after Xiao Ai's death. The sun is warm outside, it is a rare good weather, and the golden sunlight calmly spreads on the road, giving this peaceful land a layer of gold.
The ghost sister and I sat on the bed in the basement, exuding a dim light all around, because we knew that today was a big day to renew the soul, the two of us clasped our fingers, although I couldn't touch her, and she couldn't touch me, but this emotion could be transmitted to each other's hearts.
From morning to afternoon, there was not much left of the man's dried steamed buns, and I even began to wonder if the man was cheating on us. Otherwise, why haven't you come back until now?
It can't be an accident, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, the man came back with a large basket on his back.
He had large and small scratches on his face, and his clothes were torn.
I jumped out of bed, ran to the man, and greeted him with a shush, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? How did you do this? ”
The man waved his hand, "It's okay, it's a small injury, I accidentally got it when I was collecting these medicinal herbs." He said indifferently.
"Why was you so careless?" I spoke in a slightly reproachful tone.
In fact, it is a blessing in misfortune that the man suffered such a slight injury, and he can make a lot of money in such a dangerous place in exchange for such a precious medicinal material at the cost of only a little bruise. He originally thought that he would have at least one less arm or one less leg, and if it was serious, he would be seriously injured, and according to his strength, he would definitely not die, but if he was seriously injured, he would need three days to recuperate, and at that time, it would be the seventh day after Xiao Ai's death.
Therefore, the man planned everything, but he didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, and he could say that he was not injured.
"Xiao Fan, you separate all the medicinal materials in the basket one by one, I'll go and rush first and come back immediately." The man greeted me and left.
I don't know any of these herbs, but when I see them, it's as if I know them, so I can divide them one by one.
More than ten minutes had passed, and at this time, the man had also finished his body, changed his clothes, and came back refreshed.
He asked me to pile up the roots and make a fire, and he himself sorted the herbs twice, and he divided them together with those ones, and I hadn't drilled the fire yet.
So, he asked me to grind these three piles of herbs into juice, and he went to make a fire.
When everything was ready, the man piled a lot of strangely shaped props on the edge of the flames, and immediately after, he threw the juice of one of the herbs into the fire, along with the leaves that were rolled up by the liquid of the medicine.
I thought that with so much juice getting in, the small fire would definitely be extinguished, but I didn't expect that instead of extinguishing it, the fire burned even more vigorously, illuminating this dim basement.
Moreover, the fire is brilliant gold.
The man stared at the golden flame, as if waiting for something? Just as the golden fire slowly faded, the man suddenly tensed up and shouted, "Xiao Ai, jump in." ”
Jump, jump in? When I heard this, I was confused.
Wouldn't she jump in and be burned to death?
"Little love, don't jump." I stopped the ghost sister and looked at the man, "Big brother, if Xiao Ai goes in like this, will she be burned to death?" I asked.
"Yes." The man was about to reprimand me for my actions, but when his words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and he nodded, his face tangled, "But this is a necessary test before renewing the soul." ”
