Chapter 108: Soul Transfer
The strange-shaped iron sand was taken out one after another and discarded on a wooden tray next to it.
Liu Qingxin was engrossed in holding the dagger borrowed from Yu Yan, carefully cutting the skin and flesh on Gu Luochen's legs, carefully cleaning the place where it was stained with gunpowder, and by the way, cutting off some bad meat directly.
She's just a doctor, and her hands are limited.
But Yu Yan's dagger was indeed born to kill, and it was quite heavy.
Therefore, every once in a while, she needs to hand the dagger to Yu Yan and ask her to help clean the dirty blood stains, and she takes this opportunity to give her wrist a short rest.
About half an hour passed.
During this period, Liu Qingxin rested three times before finally cleaning up the iron sand in Gu Luochen's calves.
She carefully checked it again to make sure that there was no omission, then took a deep breath, took the cloth towel that had been washed with wine from Lixia's hand, and wiped the wound on his leg and the surrounding area for him.
Throughout the room, the quiet pin drop could be heard.
Yu Yan's lips were pursed, as if she couldn't break the corpse of the person who hurt Gu Luochen, but Lixia clenched her fists, suppressed her distress, and forced her face not to change.
"Sprinkle him with powder, bandage it, Lixia."
Handing over the dagger to Yu Yan, Liu moved lightly, because of tiredness, some stiff fingers, and his head did not return, and he explained to Li Xia.
The most troublesome one has been disposed of, and there are still two left, but she is not physically strong, I don't know, can she hold it up.
She needs to conserve her stamina.
As much as possible, use your physical strength where it matters most.
"Go to the kitchen and help me get some salt and water, Yu Yan, be quick."
After a little hesitation, Liu Qingxin finally decided to use the most extreme way to complete this "operation", although doing so would cause great loss to her body, but human life is at stake, especially this human life, which is still Gu Luochen.
He is the person who has been with her for the longest time since she came to this strange Ming Dynasty.
In her opinion, he has long been no different from her younger brother.
Bending down and opening the medicine box, Liu Qingxin took out a delicate shell-carved rosewood box from a small compartment on the side, and then, not feeling distressed, grabbed seven or eight concocted ginseng slices and put them on the small table in Ling Jun's hand.
"Feed him a slice first."
This ginseng is the "sincerity" sent by Deping Bo Li Ming a few days ago, she looked at the rarity, so she found the time to clean it up, put it in the medicine box for backup, never thought that this just came to Yanjing, and she used it!
"Just hold it, don't chew it."
Liu Qingxin moved his slightly stiff fingers as he stood up and carefully observed the wound on Gu Luochen's shoulder.
However, after examining the wound and turning her head, what she saw was Gu Luochen's brows furrowed, and he was reluctant to chew the ginseng slices that Ling Jun fed him.
Thinking about Gu Luochen, in ordinary times, people who refuse to eat a mouthful of bitterness will be like today, in order to recover, "consciously" "fight" with medicinal herbs, Liu Qingxin can't help but sigh.
Man, indeed, is an animal that lives by "faith".
It's just that "beliefs" are different.
……
After treating all the wounds for Gu Luochen, it was already evening.
Although he drank a little salt water, Liu Qingxin still felt that he was a little physically exhausted.
"It will hurt for a while, and when the blood circulation is opened, and the analgesic powder in the powder takes effect, it will be fine, you bear with it."
Liu Qingxin said as he stuffed a cloth towel into Gu Luochen's mouth, in case he hurt so badly that he bit his tongue.
Ling Jun has already clicked on Gu Luochen's acupoint, moving, it will definitely not, but the body will not struggle to resist, and the teeth may not give this "face", she doesn't want to bet on Gu Luochen's hardness, and she doesn't plan to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and for the sake of such a few breaths, she unloaded Gu Luochen's chin.
Quickly pulling out the silver needle on Gu Luochen's leg, Liu Qingxin was suddenly stunned.
Because, Gu Luochen's expression changed.
He is not Gu Luochen.
In other words, only at the moment when she pulled out the silver needle, it was still Gu Luochen, and after that, it was not.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans slipped from the forehead of "Gu Luochen", but he always bent his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was smiling.
This kind of expression would never appear on Gu Luochen's face.
But...... Why, does she feel so familiar?
Yu Yan!
Liu Qingxin instinctively turned around and looked at Yu Yan, who was supposed to be standing behind her with an anxious expression, but what caught her eye was her sitting cross-legged, as if she was in a fixed position.
Soul transfer?
Liu Qingxin remembered that she had heard Yu Yan mention this kind of weird exercise, but at that time, Yu Yan just mentioned it casually because she wanted to apologize to her, and she didn't take it seriously, so she listened to it casually and threw it away.
"Keep pulling!"
"With this level of pain, she can't last long!"
Seeing that Liu was hesitant and hesitant, Ling Jun, who had been quietly supporting Gu Luochen's body, hurriedly shouted at her.
"She's gambling for her life!"
"Don't let her work go to waste!"
Obviously, Ling Jun has a far better understanding of the technique used by Yu Yan than Liu Qingxin.
Liu Qingxin didn't know if Ling Jun's "reminder" was from a reliable source, but she believed in him for no reason.
The silver needles were taken off one after another, and the smile of "Gu Luochen" seemed to be "shaken", but soon, it returned to normal.
"He" hurts, but he is as firm as a mountain.
After about twenty breaths, "Gu Luochen"'s slightly twisted brows slowly relaxed, "he" nodded lightly at Liu Qingxin, signaling that she was no longer in pain, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Liu Qingxin instinctively turned around, looked at Yu Yan who was sitting on the ground, saw her, and slowly opened her eyes.
She was tired, as if she had just experienced a catastrophe.
But she was laughing, laughing happily, laughing with relief.
"You two fools, what a perfect match!"
With a word of disgust, Liu Qingxin slowly stepped forward and helped her up from the ground.
People say that killers are ruthless.
But what she saw was not at all like what people had said.
"Get up, it's cold on the ground."
When Fu Yuyan got up, Liu Qingxin instinctively helped her take a pulse, and her brows were also tightened.
Yu Yan's pulse is vain, and it is completely a decaying scene of a dying person, but looking at her face and demeanor, it is ...... This is completely inconsistent with the laws of medical Taoism, it is completely, it is......
Liu Qingxin felt that something seemed to "sprout" in her heart, and she was about to break through the shackles and take her to a mysterious and unpredictable realm, but its power was still too small, small enough to break the barriers, and she still needed to provide "nourishment" in order to grow into a towering tree in the future.
"Sister, don't be surprised."
"Master said that every time you move your soul and return, it is a new life."
"A newborn child, it is inevitable that there will be strength and weakness, and when you rest for a while, you will return to normal."
Seeing that Liu Qingxin took her pulse, Yu Yan smiled and grabbed her hand and signaled her not to be nervous.
"You don't listen to the nonsense of the 'sick seedling', I finally got free, and I have a sister, so I am willing to gamble with my life."
"The practice of soul transfer, in fact, there is no risk, at worst, that is, the body is destroyed when the soul is transferred, and there is no way back, if you are really unlucky, in this situation, you only need to find a dying person to take it away, and you can be resurrected."
"Three days, how long is it, how can I not find a suitable container?"
While she was talking, Yu Yan was already supported by Liu Qingxin, sat on the other side of the small couch, leaned on the soft pillow, and looked at Gu Luochen, who was even paler than usual because she had lost a lot of blood.
In the past, her senior brother liked to go out day and night, and his face was always fairer than ordinary people, and she was happy to see him, so she often teased him, leading him to chase him and run blindly all over the mountains, although every time he would be caught, it was inevitable that he would be taught a lesson and cleaned up, but he was still happy to do it.
Later, he became the master of the Celestial Gate, and could no longer play with her like before, although she was lonely, but she was also happy for him, seeing that he had become "greedy" because of the sun and wind and rain for a long time, and became a "greedy eye", she made it bad, moved to someone else, and "chatted" with him, and took the opportunity to pinch his face that was always expressionless, but her skin was so good that she was jealous.
But now, she suddenly doesn't like this kind of "fairness".
She would have liked to see him with a warm and energetic face.
Just like many years ago, he and Master came by moonlight, because they had slaughtered too many fierce beasts along the way, and their breath was slightly chaotic, and their faces were crimson.
"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Yu Yan should have forgotten to say that all the soul pain suffered by the soul transferee will be borne by the soul transferee, and in the process of soul transfer, if the soul is seriously damaged, the soul shifter will become a fool, and even, a life."
"If you forcibly move your soul like Miss Yu Yan did before, you are gambling with your life, once you are unstable and unable to support the intended purpose, you will be forcibly terminated, that is, if Miss Yu Yan's will is not strong enough to turn the tide from the state of loss just now, at this time, what my lady sees should be a crazy girl who is like a crazy girl who is imprisoned in the Black Water Prison, so many crazy prisoners."
"I don't know, I'm right?"
Seeing that Yu Yan had regained her senses, and it didn't look like her soul had been damaged, Ling Jun was careful and let Gu Luochen lie down on the couch and get up to stay.
He didn't even look at Yu Yan, he just walked quickly to Liu Qingxin to discuss nothing, hugged her horizontally, and was a little unhappy, "Lesson" she said, "I can't stand on my feet, and I still want to help others, what if I fall!" ”
"You, how do you know, know our secret of the Heavenly Gate, you, who are you!"
Ling Jun's words made Yu Yan fall into a short period of contemplation.
After pondering, she nervously reached for her short sword.
But her gaze slowly moved to Liu Qingxin's face, as if she was silently asking her whether Ling Jun was holding her hostage, or whether he was normal in words and deeds, and whether it was possible, had been taken away by others.
"That's not all I know."
"I also know that more than half of those prisoners who are locked up in the Black Water Prison, crazy but strong in martial arts, are Celestial Gatemen who failed to transfer their souls and were counterattacked."
"I also know that Gu Luochen's sword against your master is because of the damage to his soul caused by his battle of fame many years ago, which can no longer be suppressed."
"Let him die with dignity like the old customs of the Heavenly Gate, which is the last fulfillment that Gu Luochen can give him, and it is also the only time in his life that he touches the ground with his knees and pleads with others."
As Ling Jun spoke, he hugged Liu Qingxin so horizontally, sat on the stool, dragged her hand, and gently helped her rub her wrist.
Judging from his performance, he should not have taken Yu Yan seriously at all, or rather, he is full of confidence that she will not make a move on him.
"Who the hell are you?"
The unknown is always frightening.
Yu Yan's hand gripping the short sword seemed to be a little tighter than before.
However, it was only a little tighter, and it was not unsheathed.
"He is the grandson of the master, don't hurt him, Yu Yan."
Before Gu Luochen could open his eyes, he stretched out his uninjured hand and pressed down Yu Yan's short sword.
His voice, weak and hoarse, made people can't help but purse their lips just by listening.
"Master's grandson?"
Gu Luochen's words made Yu Yan exclaim in surprise.
"Master's wife, wife, isn't it, not in the cellar?! That woman, that woman's wedding night, bit her tongue and killed herself, didn't she? Master, where did he come from! ”
Yu Yan respects her master.
It is precisely because of respect that there will be a lot of attention.
"That woman is his wife's sister, and she didn't bite her tongue and kill herself."
Gu Luochen slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at Yu Yan with a surprised face, "That woman died of dystocia, the fetus is still in the womb, and the master borrowed her corpse to replace his beloved, because he is afraid that he has too many enemies and will be retaliated against." ”
"Before the death of the First World War, Master entrusted me with the residence of my master, and asked me to go and inform him after his death."
"After I took over the head of the family, I fought with those old guys for a year, and it was impossible for me to go but the master entrusted me."
"Later, when the door was stable, and when I looked for it again, I learned that the master had died suddenly and inexplicably on the day of the master's death, and their daughter had gone to Yanjing with a lady she accidentally rescued many years ago and married a rich and noble family as a concubine."
After that, Gu Luochen moved his gaze to Ling Jun's face, and his lips pursed slightly, as if he was a little resentful of him, a person who should call himself an uncle, but refused to change his words.
"I sent many people to look for Master's daughter, and after many inquiries, I finally found her, and finally knew that the guy who was accidentally rescued by my kindness was his grandson."
After saying these many words in one breath, Gu Luochen, who was already weak, took a deep breath, turned his head, and looked at Yu Yan who was sitting next to him, and asked her to help persuade him.
"To be a man, you have to be reasonable, right?"
"You said that your master is my grandfather, and you want me to call you uncle, if one day, on a whim, I recognize a goddaughter, find someone who can see it, your junior brother is married, do you have to call me uncle in the future?"
Ling Jun continued to rub Liu Qingxin's wrist without raising his eyelids, obviously not planning to ignore Gu Luochen's protest, "Moreover, we have known each other for several years, my son, or your godson, you are now asking me to change my name just because of a sudden news, isn't it too much?" ”
"In this matter, it is useless for you to find anyone, even if you are clever and spit lotus flowers, it is impossible!"
