Chapter 278: Life and Death
Burial Flower Island, a simple cave house, Gu Chen quietly waited for Xiaohong's examination results.
Mu Lingling was lying on a simple stone bed, and Xiaohong was taking her pulse at this time.
There was a hint of uneasiness in Gu Chen's expression, because he had checked Mu Lingling no less than five times, but he didn't find anything unusual, but he could clearly feel that the smell on Mu Lingling's body had indeed changed, this smell was not the smell of not washing his body for too long, but the innate taste, but now, this taste had changed.
Gu Chen didn't know how to express it, to put it more simply, the current wood spirit spirit seems to be mixed with something, and it is not the pure wood spirit spirit before.
It was this mixed thing that made Gu Chen feel uneasy, because he knew the Spider King's personality, and now he was thinking about what she looked like at that time, if she wasn't completely sure, how could she dare to say three months?
Gu Chen couldn't find anything abnormal, so Lin Chuan didn't have to think about it, now he could only think of Xiao Hong, after all, Xiao Hong was the body of a burial flower, if Xiao Hong had no choice, then Gu Chen could only take Mu Lingling and hurry back to Qingfeng Mansion.
Xiaohong has been taking the pulse for a long time, time has passed little by little, and it is four or five hours in the blink of an eye, if it weren't for knowing that Xiaohong wouldn't mess around, Gu Chen would not be able to bear it.
Finally, when the sun set and the golden afterglow poured out, Xiaohong carefully put Mu Lingling's hand back.
Looking at Mu Lingling's sleeping appearance, Gu Chen knew that she had suffered too much torture in the recent past, and couldn't bear to disturb her, so she walked out of the cave mansion lightly, followed by Xiaohong.
After the two of them left the cave, Gu Chen said, "How is it, have you checked anything abnormal?"
Quietly looking at the sunset on the horizon, Xiaohong suddenly said, "Gu Chen, do you remember when I gave you the Spirit Devouring Worm?"
"Of course I do. Gu Chen said, "Although the Spirit Eater is your nemesis, it is rare, you raised it in your own body, and as a result, its growth is beyond your control, or I helped you get it." ”
Xiaohong nodded and said no more.
Gu Chen seemed to think of something, looked at Xiao Hong fiercely, and said, "You, you mean, there is a spirit devouring insect in the body of the spirit spirit?"
Xiaohong shook her head, "I'm afraid it's worse than the Spirit Eater." ”
Gu Chen's expression suddenly became serious, "What is that?"
Xiaohong was silent for a while, and said, "It's a spider." ”
"Spiders?"
"It should be, at the beginning of the examination, I just used the ordinary examination method, the result was the same as you, but I found nothing, later, I used my unique examination method, using the method of identifying the vitality to check, you know, I was born in the funeral flower, so I am very sensitive to the vitality, but after some examination, I found that there is a life in the spirit that does not belong to her, like a spider, near her heart. ”
Hearing this, Gu Chen was silent for a long time and said, "Can you let me see it too?"
Little Red nodded, "Follow me." ”
The two returned to the sleeping Mu Lingling again, Xiaohong motioned for Gu Chen to stand up, and then pointed at his eyebrows, while the other hand was printed on Mu Lingling's chest.
Gu Chen didn't know what was going on, he only felt a powerful attraction in a trance take him away, and then he found that his soul and Xiaohong's soul had magically blended, as if he had become Xiaohong and was checking Mu Lingling's body.
Sure enough, through Xiaohong's perspective, Gu Chen found that at the location of Mu Lingling's heart, there was indeed a small spider like a fingernail, and the spider's eight legs were inserted into Mu Lingling's heart, as if drawing strength from her heart.
Suddenly, the picture shook for a while, and the feeling of dizziness hit, and when the scenery in front of him was no longer turbulent, Gu Chen realized that he had returned to his body.
Gu Chen's face was surprised, "How did you do that?"
Xiaohong smiled mysteriously, "I'm a funeral flower, an extreme life born in extreme death, so let's take it as my natural supernatural power, how about it, have you seen it?"
Gu Chen nodded, "It's really weird, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would have a hard time believing that this was true, but, how did the Spider King do it? Lingling himself didn't even notice it." ”
Xiaohong shook her head, "I don't know about this, but I do know that this spider may not be so easy to get out." ”
"What do you mean?"
"The reason I say it's tougher than the Soul Eater is because I smell death from above. ”
"The smell of death?"
"That's right, it's the smell of death, and it may not be difficult to get this spider, but once it releases the power of death, I'm afraid that the life force of the spirit will be quickly depleted. ”
What the?
Gu Chen was at a loss when he heard this, what kind of death power, how could it consume life force?
"Is life force a force?"
Gu Chen nodded, there is no doubt about this, because his gray hair is due to the excessive consumption of life force, and life force is definitely a kind of power.
Xiaohong continued, "That's easy, since life is a kind of power, then in the same way, in fact, death is also a kind of power, just like light and darkness, because you live in the light, so you don't understand the power of darkness, and I, the light that blooms from the darkness, so I understand." ”
Listening to Xiaohong's explanation, Gu Chen understood a little, "So, because life and death are relative and will cancel each other out, you said that the spider will release the power of death, that is, it will consume the life force in the spirit body, if the spirit can't support it, it will die because the life force is exhausted?"
Little Red nodded, "That's right, that's what it means, the death power contained in that spider is so powerful that we ...... it if we stimulate it." ”
Gu Chen glanced at the sleeping Mu Lingling, and then walked out of the cave.
On the edge of the island, Gu Chen quietly watched the golden sunset shine on the huge lake, drenching with golden light, Xiaohong stood aside and didn't speak, just quietly watched Gu Chen drink wine.
After a while, Gu Chen said, "I originally thought that this would be to rescue the spirit, but I didn't expect that the Spider King had already taken precautions, heh, I still couldn't take out her palm." ”
Looking at Gu Chen's helpless appearance, Xiaohong stepped forward and said, "Don't be discouraged, maybe there will be some way." ”
"What can be done?" Gu Chen smiled bitterly, "The premise of everything is that you can't stimulate that spider, but if you want to deal with it, how can you not stimulate it, unless you don't deal with it, but after three months, it will definitely make its own moves." ”
"And what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do besides go to the Spider King?"
"Do you really believe in the Spider King?" Xiao Hong said, "Gu Chen, I don't dare to say that I know more than you in other aspects, but as far as this dead species is concerned, I'm sure, at least the Spider King has no way." ”
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?"
"There's no solution for Spider. ”
"But she planted it. ”
"It didn't work. Xiao Hong said, "Gu Chen, don't you understand? That spider is a spider containing the power of death, not refined into this, but it is originally such a spider, and the spider king, she is just a powerful spider spirit, she belongs to the range of life force, between the two, there is no difference between up and down, because one is the life zone, the other is the death zone, not to mention control and submission, between the two spiders, there is only one result, that is, the mutual restraint of life and death!"
Gu Chen listened hazy, but he also roughly knew what Xiaohong meant, and the Spider King had no way to solve the death spider in the spirit body.
Gu Chen was silent.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Xiaohong, but because the little hope he has now is gone.
Gu Chen looked at Xiaohong again, she was a funeral flower, a life born from the limit of death, and now only she could think of a way to save Lingling.
"Xiaohong, I know, you must have a way, help me, I can't let Lingling die like this. ”
"Is she important to you?"
Gu Chen thought for a moment, and then said, "I can't say it, but it's a kind of fate, sometimes cause and effect can't be judged, I simply said, if it weren't for her, there might not be me now." ”
Gu Chen's words are true, if it weren't for Mu Lingling being hunted down and killed, and Mu Zhengtian named him the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army of Fengyang City, Gu Chen doesn't know what he is doing now, maybe it's better to mix, maybe it's not as good as it is now.
"Cause and effect....... Xiaohong muttered for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll help you, but I need to know what kind of spider it is, so I'm going to go back to the underworld first." ”
After saying this, Xiaohong was about to leave, but Gu Chen was excited and hurriedly grabbed her, "Where are you going?"
"The underworld. Xiao Hong said, "I am a funeral flower, an extreme life born in the limit of death, through life and death, life, nature is here, and death is the underworld." ”
Gu Chen looked at Xiaohong in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said, "Then do you know of a race called Yaksha?"
Nakshatra?
This time, Chang Xiaohong looked surprised, and she said in surprise, "You even know about Yaksha?"
Seeing this, Gu Chen nodded; "Killed one?"
"Kill?" Xiaohong looked incredulous, "How is this possible, as early as ancient times, the passage of the underworld has been closed, how can you kill the Yakshas? Moreover, the Yaksha is a fighting race, you, how can you be an opponent?"
"A nakshatra that has not yet taken shape. Gu Chen said, "Not only that, but I was also planted with a blood-colored bat. ”
"Blood Bat Mark?" Xiaohong looked even more incredulous.
Gu Chen nodded, "That's right, but I have survived it, and I will never forget that feeling of torment in my life." ”
Hearing that Gu Chen had actually survived, Xiaohong's eyes were solemn, "You are the first person I heard that you can survive hard, but if I don't go to the underworld again, I will miss the time, and we will talk when I come back." ”
