Since that night, Qihuang is still unconscious, and no one knows when she will wake up, but fortunately, the situation is fine, and it is only a matter of time before she wakes up. In the past few days, Qi Ling has placed her on the east side, and few people know her whereabouts, even ordering Shao Kun and his party. And the purpose of all this is naturally to protect her.

However, there is another thing that Qi Ling is more worried about than Qihuang's physical condition.

The next day, the old urchin was summoned to the east apse by order of the Demon Lord, and was worried and uneasy along the way.

I haven't been in the demon world for a few days, why was I found something?

Entering the gate of the apse, the person who took it also retreated, leaving the old urchin alone to face the demon king. Although the apse is resplendent and quite magnificent, there is no one else around at this moment, and it is inevitable that it will be empty.

Looking at it intently, the high demon lord sat lazily in front of the main seat, leaning on the desk with one elbow in one hand, slightly supporting his head with the back of his four fingers, holding the fold in the other, his eyes were intent, and his expression was quite serious. Seeing him like this, he didn't seem to realize that he had come, and the old naughty boy was a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know whether to speak out or not.

At this time, Qi Ling lazily spoke, "Since you're here, don't be stunned, come up." ”

"Up...... Come up?" the old urchin snapped again, "I'm afraid this is not right." ”

"What's wrong, I'm afraid I'll eat you?" Qi Ling put down the folded text in his hand, straightened up slightly, and said a little more serious and impatient in his words, and ordered the old urchin again.

The old naughty boy was helpless, so he could only tremble and dare to move slowly towards Qiling. When he got to the desk, Kai Ling raised his head again, turned his eyes to the desk, and motioned for him to follow his line of sight.

Only then did he realize that there was a familiar object on the desk—the ring that he had worked so hard to make. It's just that now goodbye is broken into two sides.

The old urchin was excited for a while, and his heart ached to hold up the two pieces of dregs, crying: "This and this...... This is what god ruined my good baby. ”

I think that in order to cast this ring, I spent 7749 days, night and day, and I didn't dare to close my eyes at any moment.

Although the old urchin never liked to be forced to forge weapons, he really had to take care of every weapon as if it were his own child. And these rings, in terms of craftsmanship, equipment, and the effort he spent, can be said to be the most satisfying achievement of the old urchin, and now that they are destroyed, how can he not feel distressed?

"It must be that girl, I'm looking for her, I'm really angry with the old man!" the old urchin was sad, and carefully put away the remnants of the ring. This ring has always been in the girl's hand, and now it is destroyed, it must have been her doing.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Qi Ling opened his mouth and said frankly: "I did it." ”

The old naughty boy was stunned for a moment, and most of his anger was instantly extinguished, although he was sorry, he didn't dare to blame the Demon Lord too much, and only swallowed and said: "Your Highness the Demon Lord, do you know what kind of treasure this ring is...... How can you say that it will be ruined. ”

If it was said that in the past, Qi Ling was conceited and arrogant, no one dared to accuse him of even the slightest accusation, whether it was right or wrong, but the appearance of Qihuang was imperceptibly affecting him, making him no longer as authoritarian as before.

Kai Zero has always understood that everyone is afraid of him, respects him, and is submissive to what he does, but because he is so powerful that they are afraid. Qi Ling knew that aside from the identity of the Demon Lord, he was just a vicious and sinister villain.

But because Kai Zero knew that he was a villain, when the beam of light that should not have appeared came to his life without warning, he naturally had to do his best to hold it.

"It's just an accident. I know that your ring was destroyed and I am at fault, rest assured, I will make it up to you. But not now, I'm asking you, can you make another ring? The sooner the better. ”

What, another ring? The sooner the better. It's easy to say, but it's completely impossible.

That being said, the old naughty boy didn't dare to offend Qi Ling, so he was very embarrassed: "Your Royal Highness the Demon Lord, you are too much." It's not about whether I can make another one, it's about what I can make. I'll tell you directly, the material of this ring is a thousand-year-old black iron, and the purpose of making this ring was to suppress the real fire. The Three Realms is just such a piece of dark iron, and this piece makes three rings. Now that one of them has been destroyed, where are you going to ask me to find you a piece of dark iron?"

"Is there no other way?" Kai Ling frowned.

The old naughty boy said this, he had already expected this, the dark iron attribute is extremely yin, and it is true that it can suppress the true fire, and it is precisely because of this that the true body of Qihuang can be sealed, and now that the ring is destroyed, her true body is afraid that it will not be able to hide. And the Three Realms is just such a piece of dark iron, which is also true.

The play that day was originally to test Qihuang's mind, but who knew that such a thing happened. If Qihuang shows his true body, it will be even more difficult in the demon world. Could it be that he wants to lock her up for the rest of his life?

Qihuang is like fire by nature, but I am afraid that it will not be willing to be imprisoned.

"Actually...... It's not like there's no other way. After a while, the old urchin hesitated to speak, his eyes dodging, as if he was embarrassed whether he should say what he thought in his heart.

Hearing this, Qi Ling hurriedly answered, "What?"

The old naughty boy wanted to speak and stopped, repeated it several times, and finally spoke in a low voice, sighed long, and said: "This dark iron can suppress the real fire, but because its attributes are extremely cold, the two are mutually restrictive. It doesn't matter if the dark iron is gone, as long as you can find the second Yin Treasure, attach its cold energy to the ordinary iron, and transfer the flowers and trees to create the second ring, it is not a difficult task. ”

"In that case, why didn't you say it earlier? My Demon Realm Vanity Palace Moon Area has a lot of Yin things, so you can take them. Seeing that there was hope for things, Qi Ling was a little more relaxed.

Who knew that the old naughty boy was unmoved when he heard this, as if there was something else bothering him, and after a while, he said again: "Your Highness, the treasure in your Demon Realm Vanity Palace is at most a 'Extreme Yin', which is called 'Extreme Yin'." For thousands of years, there are only two that can be called 'to the yin'. One of them was the piece of black iron, and the other was ......"

"What's the other thing? But it doesn't hurt to say it. Qi Ling answered suddenly. No matter where or what this second thing is, as long as he wants it, he must get it.

Although Qi Ling gave such an order, the old urchin was still very worried in his heart, after all, this object was indeed different from ordinary treasures, and it was not trivial.

Seeing the old urchin's hesitant and cowardly appearance, Qi Ling was a little impatient, and said with a calm face, "Do you need me to ask you to speak?"

"Don't dare," the old urchin waved his hand again and again, sighed, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, this is what you want me to say." This second thing is your blood and bones. ”

"What?" Kai Ling snorted softly, as if confused. He finally understood why the old man was so embarrassed.

The words have come to this, and there is no need to hide it, the old naughty boy simply told it all, and said: "You are the true body of the golden python, and the blood and bones are rare yin treasures. If I can take a few of your blood, I will use it to refine iron and create another ring, but it will be a piece of cake. ”

"In that case, let's do it. How much blood you want, I will give you. "Kai Ling's words are quite generous.

The old urchin continued: "Your Highness, things are not so simple. ”

"Why isn't it simple?" was just a trivial matter of taking blood, and he really didn't care about it.

"The blood that has been taken out by ordinary methods, including the blood you have been wounded and shed on a regular basis, is nothing but dead blood. Although there are some results, they are not necessarily significant. Only the blood taken by the seven-needle blood method is the purest. ”

There was no trace of fear on Qi Ling's face, he tilted his head slightly, glanced lazily, and said, "No matter what method you use, as long as you can create another ring in these few days, I will cooperate with you." ”

The old naughty boy patted his thigh, anxious: "Your Highness, you still have to think about it before making a decision." This seven-needle blood method is not a joke. Not to mention the fact that the person who receives the needle will suffer great damage to his cultivation, he will also suffer extremely cruel torture. This method is quite biased, and you need to use six silver needles to pierce your forehead, between your collarbones, between your two lute bones, and between your left and right index fingers. When the first needle is applied, the recipient may not be able to feel it, but when the second needle is pierced into the center of the collarbone, the blood flow is blocked, which is extremely painful, not to mention the next two needles at the pipa bone. I'm sure you've heard of the 'punishment of piercing bones', and you must know that this 'bone' refers to the pipa bone. The method used to punish the prisoner is used to collect blood, and it is already a matter of survival and death, but it is necessary to endure the last two injections, how can ordinary people endure the pain of it?"

"'How can ordinary people endure it'," Kai Zero repeated in a low voice, smiling maliciously, "I heard how you said this like mocking me. ”

Seeing his calm appearance, he didn't seem to take the old naughty boy's words to heart at all.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, I lost my word. But you must know that this seven-needle blood extraction technique is really not child's play. The old urchin tried his best to dissuade him.

Qi Ling was unmoved, his words were only a trace of uneasiness, and he didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all, and muttered in a low voice: "Seven needles of blood extraction? This seems to be only six needles." ”

The old urchin explained, "It's six stitches. How many people couldn't stand the torture of this seventh needle, begged the needle to seal their top with a needle, and committed suicide, so it was named 'Seven Needles Blood Method'. This ancient method has achieved remarkable results, but it is too vicious and has been blocked. No wonder Your Highness you haven't heard of it. ”

"You don't care if I've heard of it, just get ready to get blood. ”

When Qi Ling said this, the expression on his face was relaxed and disobedient, forming an extremely sharp contrast with the old naughty boy, as if the two were not talking about the same thing, and as if the person who would be taken blood was the old urchin himself, not Qi Ling.

"Alas......" Seeing Qi Ling's resolute attitude, the old naughty boy could only reluctantly agree, and bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, you can think about it, this is what you have to ask me to do, and if something happens at that time, don't rely on my old naughty boy." ”

Qi Ling glanced at him with disdain and said, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't pursue you." ”

"All right," said the old urchin, nodding his head, and then adding, "but what is your relationship with that girl, and why are you doing this for her?" ”

Qi Ling smiled slyly and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this. I just want her to owe me, remember me, feel guilty about me, and can't forget me. ”

At this point, the old urchin began to prepare for the needle.

This matter was hidden from everyone, and even Ye Huan had never heard of it, so at the scene that day, there were only the old naughty boy and Qi Ling. Dare to be so bold, Qi Ling is naturally determined, lie to him, this old man will not dare, and he believes that he can completely withstand the pain.

Qi Ling sat upright and sat down, the old naughty boy's face was heavy, he seemed to be quite nervous, Qi Ling could even feel his hands trembling slightly, closed his eyes and teased: "Old man, can you do it, if I stand it, but you are scared to death, who will make the ring for me?"

"Oh, Your Highness, don't laugh. My old urchin's heart is now almost in my throat. Cold sweat trickled down the old boy's forehead.

Although the requirements of the seven-needle blood method for silver needles and needles are quite low, it is the most test of the will of the needle recipient.

Qi Ling didn't say anything more, and let the old naughty boy stick the needle.

Sure enough, as he said, when a needle was just pierced in the forehead, there was no pain, but there was a feeling of refreshment, which made Qi Ling's body and mind quite relaxed.

When the second needle pierced into the center of the collarbone, Qi Ling suddenly understood what the so-called "blood flow seal" meant, at that time, he only felt surrounded by a sudden sense of weightlessness, his whole body seemed to be falling heavily, and his consciousness began to blur.

Then, he began to feel the third and fourth needles piercing the bloody bone. Suddenly, the pain made Qi Zero's consciousness begin to become extremely clear, and every minute and inch of his body seemed to be torn apart by an inexplicable force until it cracked, repeating itself over and over again. It didn't feel like a silver needle had been pierced into his skin at all, but like something was trying to burst out of his body.

He was almost out of breath. It was a sharp, powerful pain he had never experienced before.

Beads of sweat began to ooze from Qi Ling's forehead and back, but he remained silent. At this moment, he once again felt that the fifth and sixth stitches had also been pierced between his fingers.

For a while, the blood flowed backwards, and Kai Zero felt that he was about to die, and even began to hallucinate. Then, like a thousand swords piercing the heart, the heart began to heat up, as if it was about to burn itself out.

He suddenly wondered, is it worth it? For her, is it worth it.

Six stitches have passed, the old urchin was relieved, pulled out two stitches between his fingers, and in an instant, a few drops of crystal red blood flowed out from the eyes of the needles between his fingers. At that time, the blood in Qi Ling's whole body was extremely cold, and when his thoughts returned, he already knew that this torture was finally over.

He finally understood why someone would kill themselves by asking for a seventh needle to be capped when the needle was applied.
