"Guess if my hands and feet are broken, one eye is gouged out, my tongue is cut off, my ears are pierced, my internal organs are pierced, and I am nailed into a coffin that is not completely sealed, and I open it again in a few days, will it be restored?"

As soon as I thought of this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out around my body, and I swallowed in my throat as I waited under Si Ming's gaze.

He is a doctor, and I should be honest with him, so that I can help Jiang Xun with his injuries. However, Jiang Xun's self-healing ability is different from ordinary people, and none of the three people in our company really understand it, and if I say it, he may still be regarded as a monster, even if the opposite side is the Situ family, who is also cultivating in a different way. What's more, we can't confirm the good and evil of the other party now, everything that happened before, they are still the object of suspicion.

After thinking about it, I only gave him a vague answer, saying, "I can't say it too absolutely, but I know it's the first time." His skills have always been very good, but this time he was careless and negligent, and he was only like this because he was overshadowed. ”

"Really?" Si Ming glanced back, and I asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

His eyebrows sank slightly, and he thought about it slightly, and said: "It's not good to say now, I have to wait for him to be more stable, it's best if he can wake up, and when the time comes, you can ask him in person." ”

He pointed his index finger to the side of his chest, looked at me with great meaning, and said, "A normal living person doesn't have such a thing on him." ”

Lividity.

I understood what he meant in an instant, pursed my lips, didn't say the name of Qian Bingsuo, and asked him in confusion, "Could it be because of the cold air carried on that strange weapon?" ”

"No, the cold of that thing is the ultimate cold, and it is not of the same sex as the cold of your friend. He was not the only one of us who was injured by that thing, none of them survived, all of them were killed on the spot, cut into corpse pieces, and there were some corpses with relatively complete remains, not only at that time, but also after being parked for many days, there were no corpses due to some form of "freezing". ”

Si Ming said: "This friend of yours, what he shows is exactly the opposite of what we have seen before. ”

I said, "Maybe it's because he survived that he became different from everyone else, and the transformation of these patches is the reason why he survived?" ”

Si Ming groaned and said: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but without reference, it is impossible to draw specific conclusions, everything has to wait for him to wake up." ”

I echoed, hearing that he was leaving, I sent him to the door to thank him again and again, and when I saw Lan Ruo coming back from fetching water, I took the initiative to take the basin, wrung a towel, and stayed by the bed to wipe the blood stains on Jiang Xun's face and neck with warm water.

Lan Ruo took a new pillow, and after helping to change it, she looked at me with a pair of clear eyes and said with a smile: "It's so good." ”

I raised my eyes, and she whispered, "Sister, are you in love with him?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Xun who was lying on the bed* half-body, only to realize that this was not Shen Ji, and there was no longer a dead body in front of me, but the living body of an adult man.

I don't want to be okay, but when I go to recall, all the touches on my skin when I helped him wipe the blood just now are still in my muscle memory and come back.

His skin was obviously cold, but I felt a rush of blood from my fingers to my cheeks, and I hurriedly looked away and said to her, "We are just friends." ”

"Huh? Is it like this? Lan Ruo seemed to be a little disappointed, I wanted to bypass this topic, but I heard a voice behind me, saying, "Ah Ruo, the eldest brother is looking for you, let you go over right now." ”

"What can Brother Yu do with me at this time?" Lan Ruo asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, if the eldest brother asks you to go, you will go, if I know everything, what use do I want you?" Situ Yao leaned against the door with the sword in his arms and raised his eyebrows.

Lan Ruo pursed his mouth, snorted in a low voice, and said to me: "Then I won't accompany you first, I'll go see Brother Yu, and I'll come back to you later, and take you around Dongchuan." Although we are a little messy here, if you look closely, there are still a lot of good scenery. ”

I nodded and said, "You go and get busy, I'm okay, don't delay your business." ”

Lan Ruo also nodded, and after leaving the room, he turned around with his back to Situ Yao, stuck out his tongue at his back, and ran away quickly.

I couldn't help laughing, and when Situ Yao looked back, the person was gone, so I could only read a sentence in my mouth: "Stinky girl." ”

Situ Yao turned around to leave, I followed, bent down in front of him, saluted, and said when he got up: "Thank you Er Shao for saving your life yesterday." ”

"All I did was raise my hand, saying that it was a life-saving grace, and that disciple of yours did more." Situ Yao said: "He is the only one among you who has fought against that demon Dao and fought to the end, he can stay awake in that kind of sound wave without being disturbed, and he also destroyed half of the thousands of puppets, which is amazing." If it weren't for the sudden appearance of that huge miscellaneous monster, I wouldn't need to intervene at all, and he alone would have protected you. ”

"You saw that monster too?" I was surprised.

"A beast who is neither yin nor yang, how can I not see such a big movement." Situ Yao said coldly: "It must be refined by the demon Dao again, it is not enough to occupy Pu Xian to use demon magic to refine those zombies, and now he has made such an ugly-looking monster, if I catch him one day, I will not let him go." ”

When we walked here from Puxian Village, we didn't find that it was actually a corpse refining place, so it was no wonder that so many stiffeners suddenly appeared.

One doubt was solved, and the other popped up again, and I hesitated and asked, "Listen to Miss Lan Ruo, do you suspect that the demon Dao was once a servant of the Situ family, and what he used was also the Situ family's puppet control technique?" ”

Situ Yao was silent for a moment and said: "The matter has not been clarified yet, and no one can assert that it is him, but the magic used by the other party is indeed from our Situ clan." ”

"Among the Situ family's techniques, there is a method of refining corpses?"

"Our ancestral magic is only one method of controlling the puppet, and when it is cultivated to the extreme, it is called soul control, and other than that, there is no evil way. It's just that all things are connected, and the method he uses to refine the corpse is an extension and modification of a branch of puppet control art, the puppet making method. ”

"In the same way, you can refine a monster like that?"

Situ Yao frowned, turned his eyes to look at the corridor, and said, "This is what I'm most worried about, whether it's a puppet or a zombie, there is a carrier when it is refined, but I can't see through that thing." Last night I looked through many family records, and I couldn't find any magic that might be related to it, and if I really wanted to say that there was a connection, all I could think of was an absurd ancient legend that I had seen in a picture album in an old book when I was a child. ”

"What kind of legend is it?" I asked.

Situ Yao lowered his eyes and looked at me, his eyes were detached, and he was guarded, and said: "That's it, it's just a legend, it doesn't have any authority at all, I just mentioned it casually, there is no need to delve into it." ”

I realized that I was in too much of a hurry, and if it really didn't matter to them, we, as victims, could become allies and fight the enemy together, and it would not be too late to inquire about these things.

If the legend in his mouth is true, then Qian Bingsuo, as well as the text used on Mu Jinshu's general order, together with this monster, are all from the same period, it can't be just a coincidence, there must be some inevitable connection between them.

"I haven't asked you why you were chased by that demon path and appeared in Puxian Village?" Situ Yao said: "You should not be locals. ”

I nodded, told him briefly about our experience, explained to him the intention, and finally asked him to wait, went back to the room, took out the paper puppet left earlier from the backpack and handed it to him, and said, "This is the paper puppet we saw at that time, I heard that the Situ family is an expert in using puppets, so we plan to come here to ask for advice, hoping to find out the origin of this paper puppet and find the person behind it." ”

The paper puppet was pinched in his hand, and before he could examine it carefully, two giggles suddenly came out of the paper puppet's mouth, and in an instant, its neck twisted, its mouth opened widely, and two sharp thorns the length of fingernails shot out of its mouth.

Situ Yao also reacted quickly, and let go the moment the paper puppet's neck twisted over, and at the same time, as if there were several ropes hanging on his five fingers, he grabbed it in the air, threw the paper puppet out and smashed the door on his side, broke his head on the door panel, and half of his head collapsed. The two sharp thorns were nailed diagonally to the floor beneath his feet, and in the midst of his strength, they were completely pierced, and only a head with a faint glow in the sunlight could still be seen.

The paper puppet stopped moving, Situ Yao raised his hand and pulled it back in the air, and the seriously damaged puppet returned to him out of thin air, hanging in mid-air, motionless.

I looked at it, and saw that Situ Yao was still holding a sword in one hand, pointing at the paper puppet with the finger of his free left hand, drawing a few strokes casually, and then poking the paper puppet's chest, I almost immediately smelled a distinct smell of blood, but I didn't see blood flowing out.

Situ Yao put away the paper puppet and said to me: "I have accepted the things, and then I will give them to my eldest brother, and I will ask him to check them and give you an answer." ”

"Then thank you in advance."

"Go back and rest early, and you'd better not go anywhere when there's no one around." He said: "Dong Chuan is in a very dangerous situation now, and if something happens, we may not be able to help you a second time." ”

I should come down, Situ Yao paused before leaving, looked at the spikes on the ground, and said to me: "I'll have someone clean up here later, you be careful not to touch it." ”

"I see." I nodded, Situ Yao didn't say anything more, turned to leave, went to the place at the top of the stairs, and turned sideways directly.

I leaned on the railing and watched him knock on the door and enter a room in the middle of the first floor, think for a moment, and return to Jiang Xun's room.
