Chapter 4
White candles can only live for a maximum of two years.
Two years......
She didn't know whether it was because she was too tired in the past few days or because she heard about the death of the candle, and suddenly her feet went weak, her brain was blank, her eyes were empty, and she almost sat on the ground.
"Shi Shan! Shi Shan......"
In her mind, she heard the master calling her name in a trance, but she really didn't have the strength to respond, and finally somehow fell asleep in a daze.
The master ordered Bai Shishan's sleeping hole, helped her back to the bed, covered her with the quilt, took out a small bottle from her pocket, poured out a red pill, and put it in her mouth to swallow.
That's a calming pill.
What Bai Shishan needs most now is to sleep and calm down.
All she can do now is this, and as for Bai Xun Candle, she can only extend her life for two years.
She had only heard of the poison on Bai Xun's body before, but she had not seen it with her own eyes, and naturally there was no way to detoxify it, perhaps, even the person who poisoned it did not know this method, after all, this is a dangerous poison recorded in ancient books, however, there is no such antidote in ancient medicine.
When Bai Shishan woke up, it was already early the next morning, looked at his surroundings, and then looked at the quilt on his body, and seemed to understand something.
Bai Shishan hurriedly got out of bed, and the first thing he did was to run to Bai Xuanzhu's room, and just ran to the corner in a hurry, and met the oncoming master.
"Master, I'm ......"
"Much better?"
"Well, spirited." Bai Shishan said, "Master, you haven't slept in the past few days, you ......"
The master looked like an elder teaching a junior, and said, "Do you think that I, like you, fell down by myself before the candle was healed?" Shi Shan, love someone, care about someone, don't let the other party worry about you, if Xun Candle knows that you are tired for her business, what will she think? ”
"Well, what the master taught."
"Let's go."
With that, the master took a step.
"Where are you going?"
The master asked rhetorically, "What?" Don't want to see the candles? ”
"Yes!"
Bai Shishan followed behind the master and walked to Bai Xuanzhu's room step by step, feeling a little nervous and worried.
The master pushed the door open very gently, and the man on the bed still fell asleep very quietly.
Bai Shishan walked lightly to the side of Bai Xuan's bed, and found that her face was much better than before, although her clean and fair face was still a little haggard, but the color of her blackened lips had faded, and her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she had dreamed of something bad.
The master also came to the candle, picked up her right hand, and the slender and slender five fingers were placed on a transparent bead, and after half a minute, the master took her hand away and put it back again.
Bai Shishan sat with the master, who held the transparent bead in both hands and read a bunch of words in his mouth that she couldn't understand.
The beads instantly emitted a burst of blue light, but it was not dazzling, and the master and Bai Shishan sat at the table and watched quietly.
The beads gradually emerged some images, which were the past of the white candles.
In the picture, a bright red woman waved a knife at a girl who was sitting on the ground crying and stunned, and was about to get off the knife, but was wrapped in several layers of white silk cloth, and couldn't move, and what was connected to the white silk cloth was a white candle.
The woman in red looked at her, and suddenly with a few waves of her hand, she untied the silk cloth, and pieces of torn cloth fell from the sky.
The woman's huge eyes were covered with red bloodshots, and her pupils gradually turned red, not only the green tendons on the back of the hand holding the knife, but also the green tendons on the white neck.
"She's poisoned, enchanted."
The master's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was not normal.
Bai Shishan looked at the master puzzled, "Enchanted? ”
Before the two finished speaking, they saw that the picture was instantly wrong.
The woman in red suddenly ran towards Bai Xuan Candle, the knife in her hand was playing very quickly in mid-air, and a brisk step came to Bai Xuan Candle's side, Bai Xuan Candle realized that something was wrong, and took out a half-moon-shaped cyan fan, seeing that the green liquid was about to be sprinkled on Bai Xuan Candle.
However, Bai Xun Candle didn't let her succeed, she suddenly jumped into the air, flipped in mid-air, and fell behind the woman in red.
Because of her clothes, she could only find it from her neck, and the blood that flowed out was dark purple.
The master looked at the picture of the crystal ball, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "How come!" ”
Bai Shishan pointed to the woman in red in the crystal ball and asked suspiciously, "Master, how could that person's blood be such a strange color?" ”
The master's eyes tightened slightly, "She's not a human anymore." ”
"Huh?"
In the beads, the woman in red just hissed, quickly turned around, and the knife in her hand slashed towards Bai Xun Candle, her movements instantly became faster, and her steps were much lighter.
Bai Xun Candle dodged as he tried to lure her to a remote place far away from the village.
The woman in red couldn't hurt the person in front of her several times in a row, her brows furrowed, her eyes tightened, and her entire eyeballs instantly turned blood-red.
Bai Shishan looked at the picture, swallowed his saliva, and felt a little cold in his heart.
"Oh my God, she's scary."
"The candle is in danger."
Bai Shishan looked at the crystal ball, only to see that Bai Xuan's light steps had been followed, and even her next move, the woman in red seemed to be very clear.
Whether she flashes to the right or left, jumps to escape, or attacks with a fan, the woman in red can easily catch it, as if she has completely seen through her movements.
Bai Xun Candle suddenly struggled a little and was in a weak position.
Suddenly, inadvertently, the woman in red passed past her, and a thin and long scar slipped onto Bai Xuanzhu's body.
In an instant, a bright red smeared her clean green clothes with a very bright color.
Bai Xunzhu half-squatted on the ground, covering the wound on his shoulder, his expression was instantly wrong, and his face was a little pale.
It's just that what she doesn't know is that the scars on her shoulders and back are tingling with a faint green.
Bai Xun Candle stood up, her posture was a little unstable, she was puzzled, the woman in red attacked, she found it, but her body did not obey the call, her movements became very sluggish, the wound behind her suddenly became hot, and her whole person seemed to be burned by fire.
"Ahh
Another slash slid down on her left hand.
"Shhh
Another slash slid down in front of her.
The woman in red approached step by step, Bai Xun Candle was already a little stunned at the moment, it was not that she didn't want to move, but she couldn't move.
There was panic and anxiety in her eyes.
Bai Shishan outside the picture was worried about her, the frequency of his heartbeat increased a little, his hands subconsciously grasped his clothes, and he looked at it with some anxiety.
Seeing that the woman in red had arrived in front of her, the knife in her hand was dancing by her, from top to bottom, very neatly, falling towards the white candle.
The branches of the trees on the hill swayed slightly, and a few leaves fell to the ground, and then several pieces fell one after the other.
And under Bai Xuanzhu's half-squatting position, there is no trace of her.
Looking around, she was not found.
In a hidden bamboo forest, a touch of green clothes walked a little dizzily, and the clothes on her right leg were bright red.
In a hurry, in order to regain consciousness, she had to stab her right leg with the edge of the fan, otherwise, she would not be able to escape.
The wound from the knife ached faintly, very strange, different from her usual injuries, even moist and hot.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a bamboo forest falling behind him.
Bai Xun Candle turned around and found that the woman in red was chasing after her.
Bai Xun Candle bit his lip and skimmed over the bamboos, trying to use the terrain to buy time for himself.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that the knife was so powerful, it turned out that with just one wave, those trees fell to the ground in an instant.
Suddenly, Bai Xun Candle tripped over a stone under his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground, lying on the ground in some embarrassment, looking back at the red-clothed master.
The woman in red waved her big knife, and Bai Xun Candle had a wound on her left shoulder and in front of her.
"Ahh
The woman in red showed no mercy at all, approaching her, her pace was a little fast, however, at this moment, the white candle could no longer move.
Suddenly, the flute sounded, and the woman in red stopped, looked northwest, and thought for a moment.
The flute sound was a little strange, not beautiful, and it didn't seem to have a sense of rhythm, but the woman in red walked over quickly, like a puppet, and gradually disappeared into the bamboo forest.
The blue light of the crystal ball went out and returned to its original transparency again.
The master put his hand on the table, crossed his fingers, pondered for a moment, and said, "It was this flute sound that saved the candle." ”
"Flute?"
"The woman in red was manipulated." The master was silent for a while, and then said, "It's still the same sentence, it's a miracle that Xun Candle can come back alive." ”
Bai Shishan was slightly stunned, looking at Bai Xuanzhu's eyes, it was incredulous and distressed.
Instantly, the man lying on the bed moved his fingers slightly, and his closed eyes slowly opened.
Bai Shishan hurriedly walked over, held her, and said earnestly: "Wake up!" ”
The master also walked over and asked, "How do you feel?" ”
Bai Xun Candle still smiled lightly, "It's much better." ”
Her voice was haggard and weak.
"Shi Shan, you go and bring the bowl of medicine on the table in my room."
"Okay."
Bai Shishan didn't hesitate for a minute, and walked out of the door very quickly, and when he looked back, he saw the master approaching Bai Xun Candle, standing in front of her, and saying something to her.
Bai Shishan walked around the backyard and entered the master's room, only to see a bowl of thick and sticky black liquid on the table.
The corners of Bai Shishan's mouth twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed.
This is the medicine of the candle?
After looking at it and looking at it, he didn't find anything else, so Bai Shishan had to pick it up and walk to the front yard.
Bai Shishan carefully held the bowl of black things, and even his pace slowed down, for fear of falling out a little.
Bai Shishan walked to Bai Xuan's room, held it in his left hand, gently pushed the door with his right hand, and only walked in after seeing the hidden door open.
"Shi Shan, you feed this bowl of medicine to Xun Candle."
"Okay."
The master walked out, Bai Shishan looked at the white candle, and found that she was in a trance, and guessed some reasons.
The master must have told her about those things.
Bai Shishan picked up the spoon and carefully handed the medicine to her mouth.
Such days went on for several days in a row.
A month later, under the master's medicinal materials, except for the poison, Bai Xun Candle had almost recovered, the scars on his body disappeared, and his appearance was no different from usual.
It's just that they all know in their hearts that Bai Xuan Candle, the rest of her life, has no more than two years.
That day, Bai Xun Candle stood under the centuries-old sky tree in front of the mountain, looking up, her slender figure added a little loneliness.
Bai Xun Candle turned his back to Bai Shishan, and said in a very soft voice: "Shishan, I still have one thing to complete, and I want to achieve it before I die." ”
Bai Yunzhu paused, and then said: "I don't want to go down to Huangquan with this regret. ”
Bai Shishan nodded, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, "Well, I know." ”
A very warm wind blew, and the woman looking up under the big tree was so beautiful at this time, it seemed that even the wind wanted to take away her breath.
"So, I will spend the rest of the time with you and my master, and I will also spend some time going back to accompany my mother and father," Bai Xuanzhu looked down at the pink maple leaf on his left hand, and said quietly, "In the last year, I want to go to him." ”
