Chapter Forty-Nine: Shen Gong Leopard Little Snow Kite (Extra)
If only you could really live forever, sit and watch the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, and witness the changes.
But his arms began to stiffen again, and his hair thinned. He clenched his fists, searching for the rare elixir that would restore him to normal.
He still remembered that when he was refining the pill for Di Xin, it took a lot of trouble to find a person with an extreme yin body from the north, and use his blood to make this last medicinal herb. But who knows, the one who brought back his subordinates was a woman. She looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she was trembling slightly, but the expression on her face was very calm.
"When am I going to die," she began, breaking the silence in the air.
"Maybe soon"
He thought to himself if he had caught the wrong person, he had never missed the hexagram he calculated, the blood of the extreme yin was hard to find, only in a specific place, a specific birthday would appear, one more hour, one more minute and a second would not work, but the person he counted was obviously a man, how could he catch a woman?
"Drink it," he handed her the freshly mixed potion in his hand
"Are you going to poison me in such a hurry?"
"Let's see if you have the guts"
Unexpectedly, she raised her head and drank it all, but when she swallowed it, she found that her stomach was warm, and her mouth was full of sweetness, which did not look like some kind of poison.
"Ginger syrup," he laughed.
"That'...... What is this place? ”
She looked around, the black wooden furnishings, and the faint fragrance of green smoke wafting from the purple sand incense burner...... The shelves were full of bottles and cans, and she had never seen a room like this, but she knew it must be an unusual place.
"Do you know who I am?"
Only then did he take a closer look at the man in front of him, dressed in a purple forged robe, with a golden bell hanging from his waist, deep eyebrows and eyes, and those eyes seemed to refract the light of some of the surrounding candles. He pursed his mouth into a line and looked fierce. She heard from the gentleman who was telling a story on the road that the national teacher of the dynasty loved to wear purple clothes and raise a black leopard, whose surname was Shen, because his black panther always followed him, so he was respectfully called Shengong Leopard. He can also see mountains and rivers, understand the changes in the world, and know the art of alchemy. So the king kept him by his side and ordered him to collect the treasures of the world and thousands of beautiful women.
"Are you...... National teacher? ”
"Exactly"
He took a sip of tea and quietly looked at the person in front of him, this woman was indeed different from others, and there was an aura between her eyebrows and eyes, beautiful but not charming.
"Then what will happen to me" She heard that since the national teacher stayed by the side of the king, there would be young women who would be taken away for the king's fun, and if they were not careful, they would be killed, and the methods were extremely cruel.
"You, you're going to die happily, you're a medicine primer."
"Medicine...... She was suddenly stunned, she didn't expect that she would become a medicine primer to be consumed, and she knew that it would not end well the day she was taken away, but it was just used to make a medicine primer...... She still couldn't figure it out...
"You are a once-in-a-lifetime extreme yin body, your blood cannot be melted during alchemy, and it cannot be absorbed by ordinary herbs, but only your blood can make this elixir work, the blood of extreme yin and the five elements of this elixir are integrated, and they are interdependent, and they will survive forever after death."
He took the pill out of a copper box and placed it in the palm of her hand, purple with gold leaf on it.
"For me?"
He nodded, seeing that she hesitated a little, but swallowed it whole, causing him to giggle.
"You haven't eaten for a few days, and you're so hungry, and you're not afraid of poison"
"What if it's poison, I'm going to die anyway"
The expression on his face froze, he was such a person who was afraid of death, but the little girl in front of him was not afraid of death. He didn't want her to die so early, and it was fun to keep it for a day.
He made up his mind to keep her up secretly, and he told her that the pills she was taking were chronic. Poison, if you run away, you won't get the antidote, and not only that, if you run home, then her house will be raided all over the house. But in fact, what she had eaten was one of the elixirs he had made for Di Xin and Daji, and someone had to try the poison.
Three days have passed, he only returns to this room every night when he goes to bed, although he has seen countless beauties, but it is the first time that he has been in contact with a woman so closely, because in order to reflect the wisdom and martial arts of Emperor Xin, his image can be said to have been crushed by Emperor Xin and stepped on and stepped on, and he has long become obscene, plus his appearance is a little fierce, and no woman dares to approach him.
"I haven't asked the girl, what's your name?"
"Kite, it's not a big family, and the name is shabby, which makes the national teacher smile"
He never let her near the bed, and every night she fell asleep on the desk, and when he was not there, she flipped through the books on the shelves, and never said anything to him at night, day after day, and every morning she woke up to find his clothes covered with his clothes, and the charcoal in the stove was warm, and placed in the closest place to her.
He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine that night, and stumbled back, full of nonsense, as if the king had punished him again?
"Are you awake?" She rubbed her eyes, taking advantage of the hours he had been sleeping, but she had taken a closer look at him. But who knew that he fell asleep, and was woken up by him, and his face turned red all of a sudden.
At this time, he also looked at her quietly, thought for a while, and then said, "It's tomorrow."
Kite knew in her heart that tomorrow would be the answer she had been asking him. I hope it doesn't hurt too much, and I hope it doesn't die too ugly.
"It's too cold tonight, you sleep on the collapse, I'll go prepare tomorrow's things"
She had wanted to sleep here for days, it was so comfortable, and there was still his residual warmth.
But he did not come the next day, but a few maidservants came, saying that they wanted to change her clothes, and some of them laughed, and they did not look like dying people, but like brides. The red satin and gold bells, the maid said that it would hurt a little, and when she was still recalling this sentence, she did not expect that her arm had been cut open, and they took a glass of blood with the wine bottle, and then took the kite out blindfolded.
"If there is really an afterlife, I can still see you, I will definitely not give you away"
It was the last word she heard before she died.
Thousands of years later, Shen Gongbao came to the place where she died again according to the hexagram, and couldn't help but recall what he said to the kite.
He crouched down by the brook and washed his face to leave, but just as he turned around, he heard a baby's cry. When I turned around, it was really a baby in a basket, wrapped in a red cloth, and it was a baby girl. She went down the river with the basket. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is a bit of resemblance to her.
No matter what, if you don't drink some human blood, you're really going to die.
"I'm not going to give you away," he said, scooping up the basket and turning to the baby girl in it.
