Chapter 105
The old woman coughed a few times and said, "No need, my disease can't be cured, because I know that the reason why I'm so sick is because time is running out, and you have to go to the next level, and with more effort, you can break through the current stage and enter the next stage." ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "If my progress will bring you one step closer to the underworld, then I would rather not learn anything and stop here, anyway, I don't have to become an immortal." ”
The old woman shook her head and said, "Don't give up your pursuit for me, becoming an immortal is not only good for you, you can also help a lot of people, because your life is to help people." Don't give up the right to exercise justice for me alone, there are still many wicked people who need you to eradicate, and there are many good people who need your help, I am just an old woman, and it is not a pity to die. Promise me to continue cultivating well and don't give up halfway, otherwise I won't feel at ease even if I die. ”
Listening to her words, Chu Xiaoxi's tears fell, and then nodded vigorously, and said, "I know my mother-in-law, I will definitely listen to you, but you also have to promise me that you must take good care of your body." ”
The old woman nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of my health." ”
In fact, the old woman had already made up her mind not to hand over Chu Xiaoxi, she would rather die herself than keep Chu Xiaoxi's root seedling, because she had calculated that Chu Xiaoxi would never be a thing in the pool in the future, she would definitely do something big, and she was a lucky star, which would bring more happiness and hope to mankind, and she didn't want to let her bright star fall for her own benefit. She would rather die herself than save Chu Xiaoxi.
She was just worried that Granny Colorful would not let Chu Xiaoxi go so easily, because she already knew this place, and she came and went freely, maybe when she would come back and catch Chu Xiaoxi, and now Chu Xiaoxi's ability could not compete with her. She must hold on to her last breath, watching Chu Buxi ascend to immortal, she can leave with confidence, otherwise, she will not be able to swallow her last breath.
After Chu Xiaoxi left her room, she used all her strength to take out a small porcelain bottle from under her pillow, and then poured out a pill from it and put it in her mouth. This medicine is called Life-Sustaining Pill, which she developed by herself before, just to prevent the current situation from happening. There are only three life-sustaining pills in this one, one can save her life for a month, and now there is only one left in the porcelain tiles, which means that she can only live for two months.
She didn't tell Chu Xiaoxi about this matter, because she was afraid that she would be sad. She put the porcelain vase back, and took out another thing from under the pillow, this is a book, and it is also her manuscript, which is the experience she has summed up during this time of cultivating immortals, and there are some tricks and so on. This is the essence of her summary since cultivating immortals, and she plans to give this book to Chu Xiaoxi before she dies, which can be regarded as the end of her last heart.
She believes that with Chu Xiaoxi's qualifications, as long as she gets this book, she will soon be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, she didn't want to give her the book yet, because she didn't want her to rush it, so let her lay a good foundation and think for herself first, so that she could get exercise. When she really can't figure it out, give her the book again, and then she will understand what it's talking about, so that she can achieve better results.
She gently stroked the book for a moment, then put it back again. After taking the life-sustaining pill, she felt better, but she was a little sleepy, she easily refused to take this medicine, and only took one pill when she was particularly uncomfortable. Because there wasn't much of this medicine in the first place, and now there are even fewer left, she must use it on the joints.
She sighed softly, then gently closed her eyes and rested.
After Chu Xiaoxi left her room, her mood was very heavy, because she was now only an old woman, and if she really left, then she would become a loner. After returning to the room, she began to continue to look through the medical book to see if there was a cure for the old woman's disease, but she couldn't find it after looking for a long time.
Because the old woman is old, this disease is completely old, and she is already terminally ill, so it is useless to use ordinary medicine. She decided to go up the hill to fetch some cough medicines, mix them together and fry them into a bowl for the old woman to drink, maybe it would have some effect, but it would be better than doing nothing.
She found some cough medicines in the medical books, and then memorized what they looked like, and set off with a bamboo basket and a small shovel. She searched the mountains for a day, finally collected half a basket of medicine, and then returned. She smashed the medicine according to the medical book, and then fried it in a medicine jar, and when she had finished frying it, she tasted it, and it was very bitter, and she grinned, and then she went into the house and gave it to the old woman to drink.
The old woman smelled the smell of medicine and opened her eyes, in fact, she had already woken up when she heard the footsteps, she glanced at Chu Xiaoxi and asked, "What is this?" ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "This is the cough medicine I picked for you on the mountain, I don't know if this prescription is right, but here are all cough medicines, I think it should be useful after drinking." ”
The old woman said, "No need, you better take it out and throw it out, it's useless to drink medicine for my illness." ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "Let's try it, it's much stronger than you coughing like this every day, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it if you continue to cough like this." ”
The old woman knew her intentions, and couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so she said, "Okay, you put it here, and I'll drink it myself when it's cold later." ”
Chu Xiaoxi put down the medicine, and then went out to make dinner. Since Shangguan Yun left, she only fried one green vegetable every day, and ate it with the old woman, and the old woman couldn't eat a few bites, and she didn't have much appetite herself, so she just ate it casually, so she has lost a lot of weight recently.
She heated up the leftover vegetables before, then ate half a steamed bun, and brought the meal to the old woman, at this time she saw that the bowl of medicine was gone, she was very relieved, and asked the old woman how she felt, and the old woman said that it was okay, but she told Chu Xiaoxi not to go to the mountains to collect medicine in the future.
Chu Xiaoxi said that the medicine she picked was enough to drink for a few days, and she didn't need to go for the time being, so the old woman could only sigh and nod.
In fact, she poured out the medicine and didn't drink it, because she knew that the medicine didn't work, but anyway, it was also Chu Xiaoxi's heart, and now I heard that she had picked so many medicines and would drink them tomorrow, so she could only sigh.
Chu Xiaoxi waited for her to rest after eating, and then went out to meditate and cultivate.
