Chapter Twenty-Eight: Yunqiang Poisoning
Murong pondered for a moment, "There must be something strange about this half-dead man. β
There was a sudden strange sound not far away, Ziyu was shocked, and pulled Murong to hide in the dark.
Sure enough, a woman in yellow walked out. It's the fox demon.
"Brother Xuan, Jiu Niang has come to see you. The fox demon walked to the edge of the pool and sat down, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes fluttered. The whole body exudes unsatisfactory tenderness, and the fierce appearance of the two people in the medical hall.
"Brother Xuan, there are still three days. In three days, we'll be together. Don't worry, even if the sky thunders, Jiu Niang will definitely save you. The fox demon said sadly with tears in his eyes, and it was only after a long time that Ziyu understood that it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil in the world, immortals also become demons, and demons also have tears.
It turned out that her name was Jiu Niang.
Jiuniang sat quietly by the pool, like a waterfall with black hair hanging down on her shoulders, she was not as bewitching as Qiaoyi, but as moving as a chrysanthemum. There was a sudden strange feeling in his heart, Ziyu always felt that this Jiu Niang should not be a monster who killed people without blinking. Perhaps, that man is her trouble.
"Are they lovers?" Murong whispered in Ziyu's ear.
Unexpectedly, the fox demon Jiu Niang's hearing was so keen, and she was immediately alert, "Who is there?"
Ziyu looked around again, there was no place to hide around him, and he must not be able to hide anymore, so he could only stand up.
"Let go of my apprentice!" Ziyu said sharply.
The corners of Jiu Niang's mouth hooked up a sneer, "I said that if you want to save her, you will exchange the lives of everyone in the medical hall." What about people, or what about their souls?"
"Wishful thinking. Ziyu quietly moved a few steps to the left to distract Jiu Niang. With a glance, Murong understood and quietly moved in the direction of the pool.
Ziyu continued to negotiate with her, "Jiu Niang, I know that killing people is not your intention. If you have any problems, you can tell me, I can help Bith City, and naturally I can help you. Okay?"
"Help, go against the sky, can you help?" Jiu Niang roared, "I know that I have committed murder, and the sin is serious. I can atone for my sins, I can die. I don't want anything, I just want my Brother Xuan to live. As long as he lives, I am not afraid to bear even heinous crimes. But no one, no one could help...... It's on my own. β
"You don't even want to tell me what's going on, so how do you know I can't help you?" Ziyu walked slowly towards her, saying as she walked, "It's better to tell me what happened." If I can help you, I'll let Yunqiang go. How?" Ziyu glanced at Murong as if he was unintentional, and saw that he was only a few steps away from the pool, and finally felt a little less worried in his heart.
Jiuniang was slightly moved, she hid too many things in her heart, there were joys and sorrows. Tears slipped from her eyes, and she was finally willing to speak.
"When I first took on a human form, I came to the world and was ignorant. He was killed by a Taoist priest with a heart and was seriously injured. I met him on the road in the eastern suburbs, his name was Zhou Lixuan, and he was a scholar who read poetry and books. When he saw that I was pitiful, he came to my rescue. Let me recuperate in his house. Between getting along day and night, I have a like-minded relationship with him, and he is kind to me. So I married him, and the husband sang and the wife followed, and the harp sang and sang. β
"But shemales fall in love, and it is intolerable. I can't accept his early death, let alone accept it. So I put together my hundred-year cultivation, and left his two spirits with Niu Tou and Ma Mian, and asked around, and a master told me a magic prescription that can refine the rejuvenating medicine and bring people back to life. As long as I can save Brother Xuan, even if I risk the world, I will admit it. β
"What? Can you rewrite the book of life and bring Zhou Lixuan back to life? If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!" When Jiu Niang's luck was about to exert his strength, Murong had already snatched the man out of the pool.
"Stop!" Murong scolded angrily.
Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jiu Niang, and persuaded him with good words, "The price of saving people is not to kill people. You let Yunqiang go, let go of those innocent people. Shall we think of another way?"
"I've put so much effort into it, seeing that it's about to be done, how can I, Ye Jiuniang, give up lightly?" It turned out that Yun Qiang was tied to an icicle by a fairy rope, and she lowered her head as if she had fainted.
"The person you want is here. As long as you return Brother Xuan to me, I will naturally let people go. However, if anyone dares to stop me from saving Brother Xuan, I will block the killing, and the Buddha will block it*. Ye Jiuniang disappeared in a swoop, and suddenly appeared standing next to Yun Qiang, she put the dagger in her hand against Yun Qiang's neck, and the blood slowly flowed down the dagger. Jiu Niang looked at Ziyu with a smile, "What, I don't want to save your apprentice?"
"Ye Jiuniang, if you dare to kill Yun Qiang, I will immediately destroy Zhou Lixuan's body. Even if you gather all your souls, it will be a waste of effort without your physical body. "Right now, Murong has Zhou Lixuan in his hand, and the two sides have certain chips, and the competition is patience.
"You!" Ye Jiuniang was so angry that she didn't want to use words to provoke Murong Fengyou, so she looked at Ziyu fiercely. The force in her hand became stronger and stronger, and the dagger pierced into the flesh, and the pain woke Yun Qiang awake, and she called weakly, "Master...... Save, save ......"
"Yunqiang!" Yin Hong's blood stinged Ziyu's eyes, and at this moment she realized that she cared so much about this naughty apprentice. Yes, since she decided to stay away from Ji Ziqing's world, the little apprentice has become her only spiritual sustenance.
"Ye Jiuniang!" Ziyu was enraged by her, and flashed to Murong's side. The silver sword in his hand slashed Zhou Lixuan's hair with a wave, "If you dare to touch my apprentice again, I guarantee that Zhou Lixuan will not be as simple as breaking his hair." β
Jiu Niang was very affectionate to Zhou Lixuan, and she couldn't bear to teach him to suffer a little, so she immediately put away the dagger. Reciting the incantation silently in his mouth, the immortal rope on Yun Qiang's body immediately faded. The delicate hand patted Yun Qiang lightly a few times, and said to Ziyu, "I let your apprentice go, and you return Brother Xuan to me." β
Murong looked at Ziyu and immediately understood, and put away the sword in his hand. Ziyu rushed up and pulled the little apprentice with a brisk step, "Yunqiang, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's not ......" Before the little apprentice finished speaking, suddenly his blood surged, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Weakly fell into Ziyu's arms, "Yunqiang?"
Murong hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"She was poisoned. Ziyu was annoyed that Ye Jiuniang's words were untrustworthy, and he was even more anxious when he saw Yun Qiang's weak appearance. I only hate myself for being too naΓ―ve to forget that a demon is a demon after all. Handing Yun Qiang to Murong and saying, "Take her away first." β
"Oh, don't waste your efforts. There is no cure for this poison. Ye Jiuniang sneered, "I hate it most in my life when someone uses Lixuan as a bargaining chip, and it is really difficult to solve my anger if I don't take this little girl's life." Those who know each other leave immediately. Otherwise, you will be made to look good!"
Her poison, how could she not have an antidote? Ziyu didn't believe it, and immediately flashed his sword, his eyes were like cold arrows, "It's useless to talk too much, hand over the antidote!"
Ye Jiuniang placed Zhou Lixuan, and suddenly smiled strangely at Ziyu, "This poison is not refined by me. Antidote - only the golden mother of Nanming Tianchi has it. If you have the ability, go and ask for it yourself. β
Seeing that Ziye Jiuniang is not determined to put the little apprentice to death, otherwise she would not have told her how to find the antidote so easily in the blink of an eye. Could it be...... Ziyu suddenly understood something, and asked angrily, "Ye Jiuniang, what is your purpose in trying your best to lure me to Nanming?"
"No matter what the purpose is, you always have to save your apprentice, don't you?" Ye Jiuniang waved her hand to lay down an enchantment, "She doesn't have much time left, seven days, only seven days." If you ever entangle me any more, you will kill her. β
Ziyu hesitated, "If what you say is half false, I will definitely destroy your cave." β
With that, he turned and left. When he walked to the entrance of the cave, Ye Jiuniang's voice suddenly came from behind, "Ji Ziyu, once you go, you will have no chance to turn back." β
Ye Jiuniang's words contained too much, so much that Ziyu didn't know how to understand it. She seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand anything. Looking back, it seemed to everyone that she should turn back? But it was clear that she had never thought of starting.
Ziyu smiled bitterly in her heart. It was a long time before she understood what it meant to be involuntary and what it meant to be forced to be helpless. Perhaps, in the end, Ye Jiuniang, who is like a passerby in her life, is the kindest person in the world. After all, she had told her from the beginning that she would never look back.
When he returned to the medical hall, he saw Murong sitting on a wooden chair, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Even Ziyu didn't react when she came in, and it wasn't until she walked an arm's length away from him that he realized, "What's the matter? I'm afraid it's going to be in vain." I probed her pulse, and the poison was very dangerous. Yun Qiang is afraid that he will not be able to last a few days......"
Ziyu's mood became heavier and heavier, "Ye Jiuniang said that the golden mother of Nanming Tianchi has an antidote in her hand. β
That's true. But. β
"But what?" Ziyu stomped his feet anxiously, "Now in this situation, don't swallow anymore." What to say. β
"The Golden Mother is a figure from ancient times, unfathomable. In the past 10,000 years, she has lived in seclusion in Nanming, and it is rumored that the ancient spirit object Nuwa Stone is in her hands. It's just that if you want to get Nuwa Stone from her to save people, you have to exchange the tears of Ning Nu in the ice and snow mountain. β
"Ning Nu tears, how come I've never heard of it?"
"Nobody knows what it is or what it does. So throughout the ages, no one has ever seen the Golden Mother. β
Ziyu was even more troubled, how could she ensure that the little apprentice could survive if something that didn't even exist? She sighed and stood up, "There is no other way at the moment, only a dead horse as a live horse doctor." Ning Nu tears, you don't know. Snow Mountain should always know, right?"
Murong threw her a scroll, "It can show you the way." It's a dangerous trip, have you really decided?"
"You can't just watch her go to the underworld to report like this. Ziyu put away the scroll, went to see the little apprentice again, and then embarked on the road of seeking medicine.
The rain is falling again.
It's just that I don't know who this rain is falling for?
