Chapter 18: Xuanyin Bloodline
If Tang Xi's curse was really useful, then the Tianchi boy would have been cursed with a thousand holes. Tang Xi secretly scolded the walking Tianchi boy in his heart and retreated. Until the cold stone wall blocked his retreat, Tang Xi mustered up the courage to choose to face it calmly.
"The old man brought you here, of course, to save you. Tianchi Boy put his hands behind his back, stared at Tang Xi and smiled.
Tang Xi hated this smile, and every time he saw it, Tang Xi felt like he was a plate of wonderful food. However, Tang Xi did not escape the eyes of the Tianchi boy, but looked at each other, and said secretly: "It's not just looking at each other, I have practiced it, master." ”
"I'm fine, why do you want to save me. The fifth uncle often said that there is no free lunch in the world. You won't be kind. Tang Xi looked at the Tianchi boy and said with a small mouth.
After the Tianchi boy smiled, he turned around, walked back to the futon, and sat down. continued to swing the jade in the gossip plate.
"You are the Xuanyin bloodline, and you will not live to be eight years old. Tianchi Boy said softly.
"Haha, the old man still wants to lie to me, I'm eight years old, isn't my life good? Tang Xi laughed. Tang Xi thought it was the best joke he'd ever heard.
After laughing, Tang Xi saw that the Tianchi boy was silent. Walking to the gossip plate, there was no timidity. Tang Xi suspected at this time that this old man had always been tricky, and he didn't say a word of truth at all. first deceived the villagers of Taoyuan Village, and now he deceives himself, a liar who lives out.
"Old liar, why don't you speak. Tang Xi changed his tune and called the old liar.
"You have to soak the cold ice herb every summer, otherwise you will breathe unevenly and fake your death, yes or no?"
"You have been frail and sickly since you were a child, your face is hungry and yellow, and when you see the light for a long time, you will be dizzy. It wasn't until you were taken to the Tianchi Ancestral Hall by Tang Wu that your health improved, yes or no?" The Tianchi boy looked at Tang Xi and even asked if the two were yes.
After Tang Xi heard this, he looked incredulous. Everyone in the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall knew about soaking cold ice herbs, but Tianchi Boy didn't feel strange when he knew about Tang Xi. But the matter of seeing the light for a long time, except for the fifth uncle who lived with Tang Xi, no one else knew.
"You see your right leg and foot are bare, two inches below the knee, inside of the knee in the palm of one hand, on the right side of the navel in the palm of the hand, on the right side of the last rib cage and in the heart. Tianchi Boy saw Tang Xi in a daze, so he continued.
Tang Xi was suspicious, rolled up his trouser legs, and saw a thumb-sized cyan stain on the bare part of his foot. Tang Xi looked up and down his knees again, and the same was true. Tang Xi didn't seem to believe his eyes, and continued to look at his navel. Tang Xi looked at all the locations that the Tianchi boy said, and there was a blue dot in each place, and the size was not the same.
Tang Xi sat on the ground, spat on his bare feet, and wiped his hands desperately, but he couldn't wipe them clean. Tang Xi's face was anxious, and he said to himself: "The old liar was burned by the fire last night, it is a stain, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
"Hehe, don't wipe it, these cyan dots correspond to your meridian acupuncture points, and the blue dots appear, indicating that your life is not long in coming. When these blue dots are connected in a straight line, you will step into the Yellow Springs Road. Tianchi Tongzi looked at Tang Xi's anxious appearance and smiled.
Tang Xi's feet were bare, and they had been rubbed red, but the blue spots were still intact. Tang Xi didn't stop, and wiped his hands towards the second green dot. These days, when Tang Xi was washing, he noticed that he didn't care much about the healing of the collision, but at this moment, when Tianchi Boy said it, Tang Xi's face turned blue, and a few cold sweats appeared on his forehead.
"In order to verify the old man's statement, you can hold your breath first, tap on the green, if there is no pain, even if the old man is making it up!"
In order to verify that this was not true, Tang Xi held his breath according to Tianchi Tongzi's statement, pressed it towards the bare part of his foot, and a heart-piercing pain came. Tang Xi roared, almost fainting in pain, his pale face was even more beads of sweat.
After the pain disappeared, I saw a blue spot on the bare part of the foot, which grew three inches along the meridians towards the knee. After Tang Xi saw this change, his eyes looked at the Tianchi boy, as if he was waiting for the Tianchi boy's answer.
"Look at what the old man is doing, is the stain extended by three inches. After Tianchi Boy finished speaking, as if he remembered something, he continued: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, don't hold your breath and touch this cyan dot, it will not only cause pain, but also extend it by three inches, and every three inches of extension means that you have to live one day less." There are still seven days left until you turn eight years old, and now there is one day less, so cherish the remaining days!"
"You old liar. If I die, the ghost will haunt you. When Tang Xi heard this, he pouted and almost cried, and for the first time blatantly scolded the Tianchi boy. At this time, Tang Xi also understood that this old man deliberately let himself press the green dot.
Tang Xi sat on the ground, looking at the black and blue spots on his bare feet, his whole body was weak, and his mind was blank.
"Don't worry, the old man has worked so hard, and he won't let you die like this. After the Tianchi boy finished speaking, he added his lips.
Tang Xi looked at the movements of the Tianchi boy, and did not show any fear, but seemed calmer. Perhaps, Tang Xi has understood at this moment that his life is almost gone, and what is there to fear.
Tianchi Boy wanted to tease Tang Xi again, but Tang Xi sat on the ground, his face bloodless, like a corpse. Tianchi Boy saw that Tang Xi ignored it, so he didn't say much. Tang Xi sat on the ground, thinking back to the fifth uncle and Elder Sun in the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall, and remembering the days of Taoyuan Village.
An hour later, Tang Xi came back to his senses from his memories and looked at the Tianchi boy. Tang Xi knew that since Tianchi Boy had brought himself, he must have his reasons, but Tang Xi didn't think that Tianchi Boy would be kind enough to save himself.
"As you said, how can you save me?" Tang Xi said calmly.
"The old man wants you to reach the Yin bloodline. The Tianchi boy replied.
"What if I don't give it to you?" Tang Xi asked again.
"If you die, the bloodline will still belong to the old man, and you have no choice. Tianchi Boy said calmly.
As Tianchi Boy said, Tang Xi has no choice, and in six days, Tang Xi may have to disappear into this world.
"If I give it to you, will I survive?" Tang Xi asked.
"Maybe, or maybe not. ”
Tianchi's words reached Tang Xi's ears, and Tang Xi showed a trace of despair. Tang Xi smiled at the boy of Tianchi and returned to his stone platform.
Tang Xi left, and Tianchi Boy smiled, but this smile made people look furious and uneasy. When Tang Xi left, Qinglin spat out a long letter and quietly followed.
