The girl stared at the butterfly in front of the windowsill, her smile was still beautiful, and she held the teacup without temperature, and saw her haggard face, empty eyes, and the white coat of the attending doctor in the mirror.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the fate of the world, and those who are strong and strong can live a long life, while those who are weak and sick have a limited lifespan. If it is a disease, it can still be cured, and if it is a life, it is the law of all things in the world, and it cannot be violated. The price of the gods' grace on the earth is that a very small number of people will be affected by the power of the bright stars in their bodies, and their organs will gradually fail, and eventually they will not be able to return to the sky.

Unfortunately, she was one of those millions. The power of the stars spread in her body in three stages, and in the first five years, it was manifested as weakness in her limbs, making it difficult to carry out all kinds of outdoor activities. Over the next five years, the initial symptoms disappear and become shortness of breath, asthma, cough, and irregular heartbeat. In the last five years, the power of the bright star spread throughout his body, and he began to faint without warning, losing his spiritual power and cultivation, until he could never wake up.

The sound of the mother crying and pleading with the doctor was heard beside her, and the doctor sighed helplessly.

This is the will of heaven, beyond the reach of man, throughout the ages, the act of changing one's life against the sky has all ended up in a heavenly anger and resentment, even if a miracle occurs, it will pay an extremely painful price, only to pray to the goddess of fate Lena Tenni, maybe there is a glimmer of opportunity to change fate, unfortunately thousands of years ago, the loss of control of Soslyado's spell led to the dispersion of the divine consciousness of the seven gods, and it has been impossible to find the original god of the goddess of fate.

Now there is another way to temporarily suppress the power of the bright stars in her body, that is, let her take drugs for the treatment of comprehensive pneumothorax, because the initial symptoms of the power of the bright stars are similar to this disease, and it is difficult to distinguish from the real pneumothorax, please lie to the outside world that she suffers from this disease, otherwise this girl's life will be ruined.

However, this medicine is a symptom rather than a cure after all, and the effect of the drug will gradually lose after a few years, and how long it can last depends on herself.

The doctor's words gradually disappeared, leaving only her parents who accompanied her, and an emerald seven-hole bamboo flute in front of the hospital bed, some people said that music is a good medicine to heal people's hearts, but in her eyes it is just a useless prop, and one day she will die, not worthy of eulogizing the beauty of life.

So she gave the bamboo flute, which had never played a single note, to the man, and she couldn't help but be moved by the sound of heaven, and she opened her eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and screamed.

"Didn't I say a long time ago that you would not be allowed to play this bamboo flute? you dare to ignore Miss Ben's order, and now you must return the flute to me at once. With that, Lan Lingxiang suddenly jumped up and snatched the seven-hole bamboo flute in Ling Wenxuan's hand.

To her surprise, the other party let her take away the bamboo flute so easily, and said with a solemn expression: "How long have you fainted just now, don't you feel anything at all? ”

"I'm sorry to worry you, but I'll keep this flute for you, and I won't play it anyway. Lan Lingxiang smiled and returned the bamboo flute to Ling Wenxuan, avoiding his gaze and turning around, "Where have your guard nuns and Cortana gone? Why haven't you seen them?"

"I'll let them go to the other side of the lake to investigate the terrain, don't change the topic, answer me honestly, what kind of disease do you have?" Ling Wenxuan's concerned eyes swept to Lan Lingxiang, who was bowing his head, grabbed her palm, and opened his sleeves to reveal his white wrist, "Just now, when you fainted, Gui Xun'er was about to take your pulse, but she found this." ”

The purple pulse on Lan Lingxiang's wrist is very conspicuous compared to ordinary people, extending along the wrist joint to the depths of the arm, gradually fading, and finally disappearing in the skin.

In desperation, Lan Lingxiang had no choice but to tell the memories of the coma just now. These words happened to be heard by Gui Xun'er and Yuna who rushed over, and they were so shocked that the water bag in Gui Xun'er's hand fell.

"It is not my right to hide from you the power of the stars in me, in other words, you do not want to spend the rest of your life in despair and loneliness, my only wish is to see the wonders of this world in my limited life, and I joined your team under the pretext of debt collection, for this reason. ”

Lan Lingxiang put down his cuffs, patted the dust on his shirt and stood up, and continued with a wry smile: "I have done my best over the years to suppress the power of the bright stars in my body through cultivation and medicine, my attending doctor once asserted that I would not live to be eighteen years old, he was wrong, and I was the same, naively thinking that I had won my life, it was ridiculous!"

"So...... What are you going to do next?" Ling Wenxuan gave a concerned look, "Now that the power of the Bright Star has entered your bloodline, I advise you to quit our team and inform your family as soon as possible, maybe they can find a way to cure you." ”

Yuna chimed in, "Father Priest is right, your current physical condition must be well recuperated, and it is not appropriate to follow us on a long journey. ”

"You really don't have any idea of leaving me! after all...... We're partners, aren't we?" Lan Lingxiang brushed his hair in a bun and forced a smile, "I know you're thinking about me, and I won't give in so easily if it were someone else, don't worry! I won't cause you too much trouble, and when I return to Garo City, I will try to contact my family, and that is the end of my journey." ”

Gui Xun'er, who was squatting next to her, listened to Lan Lingxiang's words quietly without saying a word, and agreed in her heart, there was no better way than that. She waved off the sand from the cap, screwed it onto the mouth of the hydration bag, and stood up in the wind that carried the dust.

She quickly noticed something unusual about the gust of sand, and looked into the distance, and the flag of the king's army appeared on the top of the dunes on the other side of the lake, followed by two and three ...... A large number of camel cavalry rushed along the sides of the lake, enclosing them in a circular area.

Fortunately, the other party had no malicious intent, and the general led by him even ordered the large army to retreat ten miles and walked alone in front of Ling Wenxuan: "Your Excellency is the parade priest Ling Wenxuan?"

Ling Wenxuan's expression was shocked: "How do you know my name?"

The general took off his round hat, pinched it in his hand and patted it, and said with a smile: "The former Prime Minister of the Gara Kingdom, Ban Renji, is an old friend of mine, and he told me everything about the matter, so if I see you, I must prevent you from going to see His Majesty." ”

"What do you mean......"

"That's right! Ban Renji has arrived in the country of Gara before you, and only I know his whereabouts to hide his whereabouts. "He has asked me to tell you that this matter is at stake for the whole of the Gara kingdom, and that you had better not do anything superfluous. ”

Ling Wenxuan clenched his fists, looking a little impatient: "What is superfluous, didn't I have already discussed with him before coming to the Gara Kingdom, and it was up to me to investigate the matter of the crown of courage in the palace, how could he go back on his word?"

"The plan was good, but it's a pity that you're still a step late. The general shook his head and sighed, "The king's army has already gone on its march, and now it is engaged in battle with the defenders of the Lobelon Empire entrenched in the city of the mountain, so you can wait for the good news of the triumphant return of the king's army." ”

"Even so, we still have to meet His Majesty, because the chances of victory for the rotten King's army are slim, and these soldiers must have been influenced by the Crown of Courage to behave so valiantly, and I would like to explain to Your Majesty the dangers of indulging in the protection of the Seven Artifacts. ”

Without looking back, the general jumped on his camel and laughed: "What do you ignorant outsiders know? Thanks to the protection of the artifact, our small remote desert country will not perish, martial arts is the tradition of our country, and it is precisely because of the influence of the divine power of the artifact that this patriotic spirit is rooted in the hearts of every Gara country, no matter how corrupt the country is, they will burst out with great courage to reject the enemy from the country." ”

Ling Wenxuan arched his hand and said: "The people are blinded by the fake prosperity and prosperity of the world, and they are used by others without knowing it, and they will inevitably suffer disasters in the long run. ”

"With us kings, the kingdom of Gala will not perish. The general took out a piece of paper from his armor and handed it to Ling Wenxuan, "If you are still not at ease, go to Gara City according to the above address to find Ban Renji, and then he will explain everything to you." ”

With that, the general turned around and ordered the army to gallop in the direction of the Valley of the Blood Shadow.

They hurriedly covered their noses with their hands to prevent the wind and sand from invading and blowing into their respiratory tracts, and only after the king's army had gone away did they put down their hands and gasp for breath.

Combined with the doubts in the general's words just now, Gui Xun'er felt that since His Majesty had decided to recover the Jishan region, he would use the strength of the whole country to move to the southeast, but passing through here, the troops with the flag of the king's army were running in the opposite direction, which was obviously unreasonable, and the only explanation was that this army was not carrying out the king's orders.

Gui Xun'er boldly told Ling Wenxuan what she guessed in her heart, and the other party nodded in agreement, indicating that she was exactly what she thought.

It wasn't until he finished reading the lines written by Ban Renjie that his attitude immediately changed greatly, and he was so angry that he crumpled the paper, and in the face of their stunned eyes, he re-unfolded the crumpled paper and read it aloud: "General Gomel personally led the Second Army of the Gara Kingdom to the Valley of the Blood Shadow to suppress the bandits, it was my own order, if you want to verify, please meet ...... at the following place."

Before they could see the address written below, Ling Wenxuan folded the paper back again, shook his head and smiled: "No wonder Ban Renxuan didn't let us go to meet His Majesty the King, it turned out that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to attack the empty Blood Shadow Valley when the Gara Kingdom sent troops to the mountain city. This person is worthy of being the former prime minister of the Gara Kingdom, and he came up with such a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, if there is no guidance from a master, it is incredible. ”

Just as Ling Wenxuan was seriously analyzing, Lan Lingxiang beside her had abnormal symptoms again, but fortunately, she was supported by Gui Xun'er so that she would not fall, she took Lan Lingxiang's pulse for a while, and her expression was very solemn.

"Sister Xun'er, how is Xiaolan?" asked nervously as Yuna supported Lan Lingxiang's body on the other side.

"The situation is terrible, and she must now return to Garo City for treatment as soon as possible. With that, Gui Xun'er helped Lan Lingxiang onto the camel.

Who knew that Lan Lingxiang turned his head, dragged his tired eyelids and smiled at Youna: "Xiao Na, it's the first time I've heard you call me that, Xiao Lan...... That's a good title, I'm very happy!"

Youna stood in place, unable to figure out the meaning of the other party for a long time, does this title have any special meaning for Lan Lingxiang?
