123. Master, my leg is gone
Taiyi looked at me, "With your current condition, you can only cut off your legs from the roots according to the methods of mortals." ”
I cried, "Master, don't! I have no mana, no spiritual power, and no legs, how will I live in the future? I'm not alive anymore! ”
He took my hand, "The problem is not as serious as you think. You come back to the Golden Light Cave with me. As a teacher, you will be raised for a lifetime. Moreover, as long as you recover one-tenth of your spiritual power, you can control the magic weapon and move freely. ”
"But, master, you're so proficient in so many spells (to be honest, I really don't know what he knows). Can't you give it a try? ”
"It's not that I can't," Taiyi said, "It's just that I can forcibly use immortal magic to bring your broken bones together, so that the wounds heal and make your legs whole for a while. But your mortal body cannot withstand the power of the medicine contained in it, and it will make your legs straight. ”
"Moreover, it will also strongly absorb the original spiritual power between the flesh and bones. Eventually, the aggregated bones will turn into powder, and the skin and flesh will wither, and there will be a fear of life. At that time, you can only cut your leg from the joint in advance, leaving not an inch. ”
Isn't that a bilateral hip disconnection? In my memories of my past life, I had heard that this was a very cruel operation. Patients will be in a wheelchair or on crutches for the rest of their lives, and it will not be possible to walk on prosthetic limbs alone. But for me now, what's the difference between keeping a few more inches of thighs and not leaving an inch at all?
"Then you might as well give it a try! Even if it's for a day. ”
I thought of Yuluo again, "It's a pity Princess Yuluo, not only did I fail to save her, but I also caused her to be punished ......."
Taiyi looked at me with deep meaning. "Don't think about Yuluo anymore. Now it's you who are worried. Whether you have an amputation right away or not, you must leave Chaoge with me by tomorrow morning at the latest. Otherwise, you will lose not your legs, but your life. ”
"How?" I asked.
He looked at me, "Do you remember how Nezha died in his previous life?" ”
"I don't remember." I said, "But I know that it is the cutting of bones to return to the father, and the cutting of flesh to the mother." ”
"Isn't that the punishment of culling? Nezha, this is your death. If you don't go, you, and no one else, will be the one who will go up to the altar and be punished three days later. ”
"What?" My head buzzed.
"Nezha," Taiyi said, "the punishment of culling is your fate. Within two days, your name will appear on the divination. In your previous life, with your mana and spiritual power that were far stronger than today's, you couldn't safely survive the calamity and recreate the immortal body. How can I let you take any more risks in this life. Hurry up and leave Chaoge with the teacher. As long as they can't find you before the sacrifice. If someone is punished, you will escape death and live in peace. ”
"Master, so you say, it's Yuluo who is being punished for me?" I asked.
"So to speak." Taiyi nodded, "But it doesn't have to be Yuluo." ”
"Who else will there be?"
"Nezha, think about it. You are the prince, and Yuluo is the slave. How can her life be matched with you? The one who can be punished on your behalf must also be a prince. Looking at the government and the opposition, the most likely candidate is the lord of Merlin. ”
Melinda?
"Then I'm not leaving!" I said, "I can't let Merlin or Yuro be tortured for me." In order to save my useless body, I sacrificed the innocent lives of others. It's not worth it. ”
Taiyi looked at me silently, "Nezha, you have to think about it!" In the world of gods, life without legs is not so sad. And if you stay and accept the punishment of culling, although it is not impossible to become an immortal, the chance is less than one in ten. ”
"I've figured it out!" I said, "Master, try your immortal arts." For the remaining three days, I want full legs. ”
He muttered for a while, "Alright! I'll give it a try. However, if you change your mind, or if you end up escaping the punishment, you won't be left with an inch of your leg in the future. ”
"I agree!" I say.
Remove the covers and expose your legs. Taiyi poured a bottle of fairy dew into my wound. At first, I felt only a dull ache, but then the pain gradually subsided, but it never went away.
Half an hour later, Taiyi helped me to sit up slowly. I clutched the quilt over my chest and saw that my festering legs had miraculously healed, leaving only scars on my knees and calves.
But I wanted to raise my leg or bend my knee, but I couldn't.
"Master, I can't move my legs!"
"It's already the best result. Because your mortal body is not yet able to accept the medicinal power of immortal arts. But after tomorrow, you can practice walking with crutches. ”
When Taiyi was leaving, he turned around again.
"Nezha, tomorrow is your last chance. To go or to stay, you still have a night to consider. ”
I lay in bed, still in unspeakable pain. It wasn't until the second half of the night that I fell asleep.
I don't know how long it has been.
In the haze, I seemed to be in a cave. There was a fog underneath.
Where is this? It seems to be a golden light cave seen in a dream. The master came to me in a dream again? However, isn't the master the young master's mansion that he arrived at yesterday?
So it was the master who brought me to the Golden Light Cave?
I lifted my arm and realized that I was wearing the same blue body suit that I had worn during the Izuba race, which was encrusted with pearls, sequins and rhinestones. The long sleeves with finger cuffs and an extra-high slit underneath are one of my favorite bodywear.
Is my leg okay? Because I didn't feel any pain in my legs. I looked down and saw that I was hiding in the mist from the waist down. But I felt something hard and cold pressing against my lower sitting bones somewhere. A chill reached my waist.
I tried to reach down and touch what it was, but I touched the ground all of a sudden.
Ground?
The fog lifted. I looked down and saw only my protruding iliac region under the high-leg legs, but not my leg underneath. And within a few inches is the ground.
And my legs?!
My head buzzed, and my body shook. I put my hands on the ground so that I wouldn't fall.
I leaned a little sideways, and finally saw a patch of white skin from the iliac region downwards. But it wasn't my thighs at all, it was my pelvis.
When did they cut off my legs and didn't tell me?
I looked at my short lower body, which was really even more miserable than Luo Yan. She still has a stump of her thigh that is at least less than three inches long. I didn't do anything, but cut my crotch into an inverted triangle along the contour of my pelvis, and even my hips were cut in half from the left and right. The whole body is supported only by two protruding sitting bones under the crotch and a small part of the buttocks at the back.
I panicked and shouted, "Master, master!" ”
Teacher Taiyi appeared at the right time and squatted in front of me.
I cried, "Master, my leg is gone!" ”
"Don't panic!" "It's just a dream," he said. ”
Is it just a dream?
"But," he continued, "if you change your mind and plan to live and come with me, then in a few days you will be like this!" ”
My heart suddenly cooled, and I burst into tears.
I struggled to maintain my balance by relying on the narrow support surface at the lower end of my body, and then opened my hands: "Master, hold me!" ”
"It's so cold on the ground!" I said, "I'm freezing to death!" ”
Taiyi put his hand under my armpit, took me in his arms, and left the cold ground. "You don't have to stay on the ground." He said.
He held my short lower body. A wide white belt appeared on his hand. "Nezha, I told you that in the world of the gods, legs are not necessary at all. You can control this magic weapon and take you anywhere. ”
With that, he put the belt around my waist and then let go of his hands and let me float in the air.
I tried to control the belt to float somewhere else, it was really easy, and even if my body was crooked, it wouldn't tip over.
I couldn't help but reach out and touch the parts of the thighs that had been amputated, the anterior and posterior edges of the ilium, the pubic bone and ischial bones below, and the annular acetabulum in the middle, most of the things that would normally be impossible to touch, could all be clearly felt. It's a strange feeling.
————
Press: Both hips are severed, and with Li Yi's time travel, it is unlikely that he was exposed to relevant medical knowledge before his death.
It is not possible to have a real operation, as described in this chapter, although the femur is removed, but still a part of the thigh stump and the whole buttocks will be preserved as much as possible.
