Chapter Twenty-Four: The Ominous Half-Demon
Twilight suddenly said, "Otherwise, she is an immortal servant who has made some mistake and has been demoted to the mortal?"
Bai Xu directly denied: "No." ”
Wanyue suddenly thought of another possibility, if it is a half-demon, when the body is very weak, it will become the same as a human, is it possible, this girl is a half-demon?
He turned his head to look at Bai Xu, and the two of them understood.
Si Yao couldn't think of a reason, sighed and said: "This girl has a big temper, if the master knows that she woke up but didn't drink the medicine, he will definitely punish me, I'd better go and boil another pair of medicine, I have to persuade her to drink it." ”
She got up and walked to the kitchen, didn't take a few steps, and didn't let go of her heart, so she came to the window and looked in, it didn't matter, and hurriedly shouted: "Dao Chief, the person is gone." ”
Bai Xu rushed into the room first, followed by the waning moon, and there was not a trace of demonic energy or aura to be found in the empty room.
Bai Xu said: "I'm with Wanyue, you two together, let's go to the back mountain, Si Yao stays here." ”
The four mermaids rushed out.
Bai Xu lived in seclusion in the mountains all the year round, and was very familiar with the neighborhood, and after looking at the footprints on the ground, he could guess what beasts were passing by, and it was very easy to find someone.
The two walked along the path to the back mountain, and Wanyue said, "Xiaoxu, since she wants to hide, why do you have to look for her?"
Bai Xu looked down at the ground, it had just rained last night, the footprints were clear and small, Bai Xu pointed to the right: "It should be this side, what did you just say?"
Wanyue followed, sighing, "Why do you have to look for her?"
Bai Xuwan smiled: "Why do you sigh for a long time? She left in a hurry before her serious injuries healed, I really don't feel at ease." ”
Wanyue said: "Just because of this?"
Bai Xu raised his eyebrows and replied: "Of course it's not all because of this, this Qingchan Mountain is uninhabited for hundreds of miles, even experienced hunters are easy to get lost, and they dare not step in easily, how could she faint at the door of our house with a body?"
Wanyue said: "If someone deliberately puts her outside the door, then we don't know what to do, and we should go with her, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Bai Xu stopped, understood the meaning of his words, smiled and asked sharply, "Wanyue, does the half-demon deserve to die?"
Wanyue shook her head and said, "You misunderstood me, I never had this kind of thought. ”
The fierceness in Bai Xu's eyes disappeared, and he returned to his usual smile: "If someone comes to find trouble, isn't there still you?" ”
The two followed the footprints all the way, climbed over a mountain, and found her by the lake, where Lingqian'er sat on the ground and fell asleep against the trunk of a tree with a sword in her arms.
The splints on her calves were all unwrapped by her, and her trouser legs were rolled up, and her calves were covered with white ointment, which was the best elderberry cream made by River Twilight.
At this time, Jingyun and Duxuan also arrived, and Bai Xu smiled, "You guys are fast." ”
Dusk Xuan said: "Jingyun's nose is very smart, I remember the smell of her body, and I found it all the way." ”
Ling Qian'er was woken up by the sound of talking, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the four of them, hurriedly got up, held the ancient tree in one hand, and held the sword in the other, and said in her heart: "If you want to fight, you will fight, I am still afraid that the four of you will not succeed?"
Bai Xu said: "Why didn't Liu'er say goodbye?"
Ling Qian'er said: "I have something urgent to do, so I will leave first." Why did the Taoist chase here......?
Bai Xu was confused: "Could it be?"
Ling Qian'er put her hand into the treasure bag, thinking about the gold, then grabbed out a gold ingot, and then threw it to Bai Xu.
Ling Qian'er said, "Is this okay?
Jing Yun was dissatisfied: "You are not only saving a fool, but also a white-eyed wolf who is not grateful. ”
Dusk Xuan said: "Girl, my master saved you, not for money, but to heal you, Master personally went to Suyong Pavilion to invite Liu Banxian." ”
Ling Qian'er tilted her face and snorted: "Did I beg him to save me? I knelt on the ground and begged him to find some half-immortal? Everything was of his own volition, why should I be grateful to Dade?"
Bai Xu was stunned, this girl is really unreasonable.
Twilight, who had always been mild-mannered, also got angry, and pointed at her and said, "Girl, how can you say that? ”
Bai Xu said: "Twilight must not be unreasonable. ”
Twilight said innocently, "Master, she ......"
Bai Xu glared at the apprentice coldly, and Dusk Xuan didn't dare to say anything more.
Bai Xu said: "Liu'er has urgent matters, I understand, so let's do it, where is your home? I will personally send you back." ”
"I don't have a home. ”
"Then do you have any relatives and friends, I will send someone to inform them and come to pick you up. ”
"Nope. ”
"And who hurt you like this?"
"I don't remember. ”
Bai Xu paused, and said: "In this case, you can't let Liu'er leave, you have no home, that is, nowhere to go, no relatives and friends, that is, out of Bai Zhiguan, and no one to take care of you, the most important thing is that you don't know who hurt you, that is to say, the murderer is standing in front of you at the moment, and you don't know it, wouldn't it be easy for him to take his life again." ”
It's really tough......
Ling Qian'er said coldly: "What's the matter with you? Besides, I'm not a weak woman who has no power to fight back. ”
She shook the sword in her hand.
Bai Xu smiled slightly: "Now, Liu'er is a weak woman." ”
Ling Qian'er rolled her eyes and said mockingly: "I thought that all the Taoist priests in the deep mountains did not eat fireworks in the world, but I didn't expect it, so I met a Taoist priest who was beautiful, and when I saw that the girl was beautiful, I tried every possible way to take it for myself." ”
Ling Qian'er thought to herself: "Look at your white clothes fluttering, fairy wind bones, presumably you are not stained with mortal dust, if I insult you like this, I must be out of sight, let me go." ”
Jing Yun beside Bai Xu suddenly attacked with a sword in a rage, Ling Qian'er was quick to turn around and dodge, the silver sword in his hand attacked with the momentum, and after bounced off an attack, he stood and spun on one foot, directly attacking his wrist holding the sword.
Jing Yun probably didn't expect the thin girl in front of her to be so agile, and she was obviously confused.
Ling Qian'er smiled mischievously, confiscated his weapon and threw it to Bai Xu, and then placed the silver sword on Jing Yun's shoulder.
Jingyun was extremely annoyed, but he didn't dare to move.
The silver sword suddenly fell to the ground, Ling Qian'er knelt on the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then coughed violently, and Twilight hurriedly ran over and took Jingyun to hide behind the waning moon.
Bai Xu wanted to step forward, but Ling Qian'er immediately picked up the silver sword and pointed it at him, and Bai Xu had to stop in place, ready to talk endlessly.
At this moment, a fat old man with a bamboo basket on his back came out of the woods, with gray hair and beard, and he walked profusely sweating.
As soon as he saw Lingqian'er holding the silver sword in his hand, he immediately shouted, "Girl, girl, put the sword down quickly." ”
Ling Qian'er's sword turned and aimed at the fat old man again.
The fat old man threw away the bamboo basket behind him, sat on the ground with a plop, and said with a pant: "Girl, listen to me, you can't exercise now, you will die if you use your luck, you will really die, be obedient, put down the sword ......"
Ling Qian'er still refused to put down the sword, and the fat old man then persuaded: "Girl, your external injuries have not healed, and your internal injuries need to be well recuperated, the most tricky thing is the strange poison on your body, I haven't figured out this poison yet, but it is certain that there is a master with deep mana who has been helping you suppress it, presumably this master is a very important person to you, right?
Ling Qian'er thought of her master, and finally put down the silver sword in her hand.
The fat old man clutched his chest and said, "Oh, what a sin this has done. ”
Twilight came over to help him and said respectfully, "Sir has worked hard." ”
Bai Xu gently picked up Ling Qian'er, and Ling Qian'er was powerless to resist, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and honestly leaned into Bai Xu's arm.
Back at Bai Zhiguan, after Liu Banxian checked Ling Qian'er's pulse, he touched her forehead again, and said in confusion: "Why do you have a fever repeatedly?"
Liu Banxian held her hand and slowly injected spiritual power, Ling Qian'er felt that this spiritual power was cold and cold, and quickly extinguished the fire in her chest.
But it's still very uncomfortable, Ling Qian'er doesn't understand what's going on, except for hidden poison since she was a child, she has never been so uncomfortable.
Si Yao said: "Master, she woke up and refused to drink medicine, I ......"
Liu Banxian half-closed his eyes and replied, "Hmm." ”
Si Yao whispered again: "She's sick?"
Lingqian'er asked her, "What disease?"
Si Yao said: "You have a fever and are sick......
Ling Qian'er said, "What's the matter?"
Si Yao scratched her head and wondered, "Master, is she really stupid?" ”
Liu Banxian said angrily: "Shut up, what nonsense?"
He wrote a prescription, handed it to Si Yao, and urged: "Hurry up and boil the medicine." ”
Bai Xu said, "There is Mr. Lao Liu." ”
Liu Banxian immediately returned the salute: "Bai Dao Chang is polite, it's just that this medicine must be drunk." ”
Bai Xu said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely let her drink it." ”
Bai Xu personally sent Liu Banxian out, and only Ling Qian'er was left in the empty house.
She reached into the treasure bag, wondering what it meant to have a fever, and held a book in her hand.
When I took it out, it was written with the words "Miscellaneous Notes of the World".
The book recorded in detail people's living customs, dress etiquette, etc., and after carefully reading a few pages, she finally found the answer she wanted to know.
But Ling Qian'er couldn't figure it out, how could she, a flower demon, have the same fever and illness as a human?
He put his hand into the treasure bag again, and this time took out a copy of the "Half-Demon Chronicle".
Half-demon!
It was the first time that Ling Qian'er had heard of such a thing as a half-demon in this world.
The combination of man and demon gives birth to a half-demon, who is violent, bloodthirsty, murderous, and a symbol of death and ominousness.
There is a page in the book about a half-demon who suddenly went berserk and killed his parents and the entire village when he was dying.
There are also several pages detailing how the half-demon was killed at birth.
The last time he killed the half-demon was in the Xiaoyaoguan eight hundred years ago, and the half-demon also killed his parents and more than a hundred immortal envoys present, and finally died in the fire.
Ling Qian'er let out a long breath: "Eight hundred years ago, ......"
She put her hands on her forehead, doubt, panic, and helplessness churned in her head, and once again she felt that it was too painful to live.
Bai Xu walked in with a bowl of medicine, and Ling Qian'er frowned.
Bai Xu caught a glimpse of the two books on the bed, Ling Qian'er casually covered them with the quilt, took the medicine, and drank it all.
When the bitter medicine entered the stomach, it surged upward, Ling Qian'er opened her mouth and took a few deep breaths, coldly stuffed a piece of sugar into her mouth, and put her finger against her lips: "Don't let Si Yao see it, the medicine is bitter, and you can't eat sweet." ”
Ling Qian'er pushed his hand away, didn't appreciate it, and asked him coldly: "You tell the truth, why don't you let me go?"
Bai Xu said: "Didn't I say it by the lake, since I saved you, I will save you to the end, and when your injuries are completely healed, I will never force you to stay." ”
Wanyue knocked on the door frame and said, "Come out to eat." ”
Ling Qian'er said: "I'll change my clothes, and then I'll come." ”
Bai Xu nodded and closed the door gently.
