Chapter 49: Old Man Deadwood
"This girl is good, the deity wants to accept her as a personal disciple, and then the old man's mouth let out a withering strange cry like an old branch."
"What did you say?"
At this time, Qin Feng felt that he was particularly disgusted with the old man in front of him, and the old man didn't know how old he was, in short, he felt very old to Qin Feng, just like the centenarians he saw in his previous life who would die at any time.
Perhaps for the old man in front of him, Qin Feng felt that he was many times older than the centenarians he had seen in his previous life.
The old man's rickety body seemed to be lying on the ground at any moment, and his whole body was as thin as the bark of an old tree, his hair was snow-white and almost falling off, he looked ugly and funny, and his small and deep-set eyes seemed like a pool of stagnant water.
"I said I would accept the girl in your arms as a personal disciple"!
The old man seemed to think that Qin Feng didn't know what he meant, and then he said it again.
Hearing this, Qin Feng felt a little funny, and at the same time he looked at the nine girls on the side, only to see that the nine girls buried their heads very low, as if they were children who had done something wrong.
Seeing this, Qin Feng seemed to understand everything.
"You said that I would help you, is that to bring me and Xin'er here?"
"Uh," Hearing this, the ninth girl seemed to tremble with Qin Feng's words, and then buried her head lower, not daring to look at Qin Feng at all.
Seeing this, the old man seemed to deliberately smile strangely: "The ninth girl has done a good job, she has brought a good apprentice to the deity, you can rest assured, the deity is what he says, and he will consider saving your sister."
"Really, really?" Hearing this, the ninth girl immediately felt happy in her heart, although she knew that she was sorry for Qin Feng and his sister Xin'er for doing this, but for the sake of her sister, it was a big deal that after the old man of the dead wood saved her sister, she would do whatever Qin Feng asked her to do, even if she died, she was willing.
"Okay, very good", sure enough, Qin Feng can see it at this time, sure enough, the ninth girl is tired!
"Why do you want to do this?" At this time, Qin Feng only wanted to know everything, and at the same time, he could also see that the old man who was called the old man of the dead wood by the Nine Girls was unfathomable, and Qin Feng estimated that he would cultivate at least above the Xuanwu Realm.
"I'm sorry", at this time, the ninth girl didn't know what to say so that Qin Feng could forgive her, she only hoped that Qin Feng could think about it, maybe his sister followed the old man of the dead wood, this was a great creation.
Maybe Qin Feng didn't know the origin and identity of the old man of the dead wood, but the ninth girl knew.
The old man of the dead wood does not belong to human beings, he is a tree demon who has cultivated for thousands of years and transformed into a human form, the old man of the dead wood seems to be vicious, but he himself is not vicious, but his behavior is a little strange, in short, it is different from ordinary people.
However, on the contrary, because he is a tree spirit transformed into a human, he has great attainments in medical skills, so the old man of the dead wood often turns into a human healer, saving the dead and helping the wounded in the earthly world.
By chance, Nine Girls met Old Man Deadwood, and at that time Ninth Girl's sister was seriously ill, but was rescued by Old Man Deadwood.
So the Nine Girls were sure that only the Old Man Deadwood could save her sister, but for some reason, the Old Man Deadwood said that he would not save her sister again, so she followed all the way here from Ziyun City.
In order to ask the old man to heal her sister once and for all, under all kinds of pleading, the old man had to agree, but before agreeing, he had one condition, that is, to help him find an apprentice with good talents.
The ninth girl knew that the talent that the old man of the dead wood said was good, but it was not simple, she and her sister were both talented, but the old man of the dead wood did not take a fancy to them, so after meeting Qin Feng, the nine girls paid attention to his sister Xin'er.
In this way, Xin'er really didn't disappoint the nine girls, she also knew that the old man of the dead wood would definitely agree, Xin'er's strength was terrifying at a young age, and even she couldn't see through her cultivation using the ancestral Tianyan technique.
"Your sister's condition is actually not that simple, and it is not impossible to be completely cured", now for the sake of the face you brought to the deity a good apprentice", the old man of the dead wood really wants to take a step to completely cure the illness of the sister of the nine girls, but this will consume the essence of the old man of the dead wood for a hundred years.
Thinking about the essence of the hundred-year-old wood, the old man of the dead wood had some flesh pain, but then he glanced at Xin'er, and at this time, his vicissitudes of life blossomed again.
"Does that Venerable know what kind of disease my sister has", at this time, the ninth girl remembered the death of his eight sisters, and she had been studying medicine, and the master told her that only Xuanyin grass could treat her sister.
But the ninth girl still hasn't healed her sister after using the Xuanyin Grass for so many years, her sister was critically ill before, if she wasn't lucky enough to meet the old man of the dead wood, her sister would have died like her sisters now.
When the old man heard this, he said, "I don't know about your other eight sisters who died, but I know that you and your sister were poisoned."
"This poison can change a person's physique, and sometimes the body is like a fire, and there may be a lot of black lines in the body, maybe someone tells you that this is a bad luck fire body, and the only way to solve this physique is to take a large amount of Xuanyin grass for a long time."
"How do you know?" At this time, the nine girls remembered that the master had told her that if she wanted to completely cure her sister's doom fire body, she could only take a large amount of Xuanyin grass, and the nine girls, who were proficient in medicine, also felt that what the master said made sense, because the doom fire body belonged to yang, and the Xuanyin grass belonged to yin, and this yin and yang regulation might be able to save her sister.
Therefore, these nine girls spent a lot of material and financial resources for Xuanyin Grass, just to heal her sister.
Immediately, the ninth girl thought again: "Venerable, are you saying that my sister and I also belong to the Doom Fire Body?"
"Yes, it's quite a smart girl, it's a little bit clear, the old man of the dead wood said surely."
At this time, the ninth girl didn't care about her life, as long as she could save her sister, even if she died on the spot, so what's the matter?
But now he was awakened by the old man of the dead wood, and at the same time there were many questions in his heart, how could the old man of the dead wood know so much, could it be that she and her sister and the eight dead sisters were really as the old man of the dead wood said, they were all poisoned to death?
"They were indeed poisoned and changed their physique, so they died without effective treatment for a long time", the old man of the dead wood seemed to be able to see the doubts of the nine girls, and said immediately.
"Ugh!"
Hearing this, the Nine Maidens were like a bolt from the blue: Why, how could this be? Then she asked, "How did His Holiness see that we had been poisoned?"
"I also analyzed from your and your sister's illness that you were poisoned," said the old man Deadwood.
"That Venerable One knows who poisoned our sister and what kind of poison she was into," the Nine Girls asked in confusion.
Hearing this, the old man of the dead wood responded: "I don't know what poison you have been hit, but the deity confirms that this is a chronic poison that can change your physique, and only the people around you will have such results after giving it to you for a long time."
"Chronic poison can only have such results after the people around us take it to us for a long time"?
Hearing this, the ninth girl's whole body trembled, her face turned pale, and she seemed to remember something terrible.
Shizun, the master mentioned in the mouth of the nine girls is actually her uncle, the nine girls' family is in Ziyun City, belonging to a family of alchemists, her father used to be the patriarch of the family, but a few years ago, her father died violently, and the cause of death is unknown.
After the death of his father, Uncle Xiao Mu succeeded to the throne, at that time, the ten sisters of the nine girls were still alive, and the uncle also cared about them, and often carefully taught them to practice alchemy, and gave them some pills to eat, saying that it could increase the yuan and consolidate the foundation, which was very beneficial to their cultivation.
The nine girls who were originally alchemists and her ten sisters, seeing that these pills do have the effect of increasing the yuan and strengthening the foundation and improving their cultivation, plus they have a lot of trust in the uncle Xiao Mu, so the nine girls and ten sisters will choose to eat the medicine sent by the uncle.
In this way, the sisters fell ill one after another, but at this time, the nine girls and her ten sisters did not suspect their uncle, and also accepted the diagnosis of the uncle, who said: "This is all a physical problem, they are born with bad luck and fire body, which is difficult to treat."
