Linghua and Dr. Cao glanced at each other, and were about to jump out of the window, but Dr. Cao waved his hand, took a deep breath and responded: "I have blood fever again today, I want to sleep more, help me get two bowls of medicine in half an hour." ”

Sui Sheng's figure was dimly reflected in the eyes of the three of them through the window paper, and he leaned into the door for a moment, but never pushed the door open.

Soon after, I heard his answer: "The apprentice understands, the master has a good rest, and the apprentice will come back in half an hour." ”

Hearing Sui Sheng's footsteps walking away, Dr. Cao immediately got up, pointed to the screen next to him, and shouted softly: "Move over quickly." ”

The two of them almost trotted to move the screen over and place it at the doorway.

Doctor Cao took out a spirit stone from his arms, absorbed a little spiritual power, and injected it into the screen, and the pattern on the screen twisted into water ripples and spread.

He held the spirit stone in his hand and chanted something in a low voice, and suddenly a flash of spiritual light flashed, and a beam of red light flew out from the screen, and in an instant, the world changed, and the scene in the study turned into a palace hall.

Doctor Cao calmly walked to the mechanism, opened the door of the dark room, and invited Linghua and Heng Gu to enter the dark room.

Nothing has changed in the dark room, the bloody organs on the shelves are still there, and the heart mirror in the dark compartment of the table is still there.

Linghua's body had a faint sense, it was the call of the heart mirror, she breathed steadily and calmly watched Dr. Cao's next move.

The rickety Doctor Cao injected the spiritual power emitted into the desk through the spirit stone, and the slightly concave dark grid rose, and the spirit stone automatically floated on the dark grid as if it was attracted.

A surging spiritual power burst out from the old man's body, and it rampaged into the spirit stone. The spiritual power was sucked into the spirit stone, and it was like a dot of ink into water, and it was suddenly vented down, wrapped in the dark grid.

The dark grid bloomed from the middle under the strong pressure of spiritual power, revealing the fragments of the mind mirror inside.

There was still a layer of enchantment above the remnant mirror, and Dr. Cao's figure seemed to be more shriveled than Shicai's, and his thin hand couldn't help but tremble to take the spirit stone in the air and hold it in his hand.

The hand holding the spirit stone passed through the enchantment and easily took out the remnant mirror. At this time, the dark golden streamer shone in the dark room, and the residual mirror was sensed like a child seeking comfort, and flew into Linghua's arms.

Linghua held the thumb-high, half-long fragment, closed his eyes and said, "You're back, don't be afraid." ”

With her hands clasped together and the remnant mirror in her palms, Linghua's eyes turned quickly, and a breeze rose, blowing the broken hair on her forehead.

Retracting the spiritual sense of this remnant mirror, she received the "Connoisseurship" into her sleeve.

Dr. Cao's yellow and gray eyes stared at Linghua motionlessly, and he realized: "It turned out to be your ......"

He laughed with satisfaction, his physical weakness left him with no strength to nod, and he sat down on the ground with all his might, muttering in his weakness: "What they are looking for is you......"

Linghua frowned, she felt that Dr. Cao's health was not as good as last night, but there were many things that he still needed to help, so she still had to treat him well and not let him have an accident.

So she beckoned Heng Gu to help Dr. Cao up, found a wooden stool for him to sit on, and gave him some spiritual power like a long stream of water, and quickly asked, "What does Dr. Cao mean by this?" ”

Dr. Cao supported his knees with his hands, shook his head and laughed: "They didn't find out that the person they were looking for was actually right under their noses, it's ridiculous." If I'm not mistaken, you're the right person they're looking for, right? ”

Linghua squatted down and raised his eyes to look at Doctor Cao: "What are they going to do?" ”

A little tear flashed in the old man's gloomy eyes, and he sighed: "They are looking for you because they want a mirror, as for what they want to do......

He suddenly laughed again: "I don't know, I don't know anything...... Why don't I know anything? Why can't you know in advance? I've spent my whole life in ignorance...... It's ridiculous. ”

"Human beings have limitations, and most people in the world cannot predict the future and anticipate things like gods. Doctor Cao, you are just living an ordinary life, why should you resent yourself? Linghua saw Dr. Cao stand up and hurriedly went to help him.

"Miss Ling, do you know that people are like duckweed, they go wherever they go, they seem to be free in the water, but in fact they are all drifting with the current, no duckweed can escape the shackles of the water, and it is useless to struggle.

I only hated myself for not being able to protect my family in the turbulent current, but I was washed into the rotten quagmire by the current, rotting in the ground, and honestly did not escape.

I don't know anything but resignation. is old, and I'm not afraid of your junior jokes, Shu Qin's business...... I looked for the family who beat people, but they were so numerous that I couldn't beat them at all, so I could only secretly go home and find a way to save Shuqin by myself. ”

Doctor Cao looked at Heng Gu and then at Linghua: "You must wonder why I told everything so quickly and gave you the treasure mirror." You should be treated as a rotten vegetable on a stone, and although you can't survive, you won't soak in the mud. ”

After listening to it for a long time, Linghua touched the remnant mirror given by Dr. Cao, and said solemnly: "Doctor Cao, thank you." ”

Doctor Cao smiled when he heard this: "I should have come to this point a long time ago, but I have been unwilling to accept it." You're the ones who set me free...... No thanks. ”

Linghua didn't know how to answer this sentence, and when she was about to comfort her, she heard Dr. Cao say, "It's time to go back." ”

Then he took the spirit stone and hit the spirit on the top of his head, and the scene in the dark room was like an egg breaking its shell, and pieces fell off, and the room returned to the original study.

The screen was still in the doorway, and the ripples of water on it swayed and swayed, and the ripples stopped as soon as the room returned to its original state, just like an ordinary screen.

Heng Gu and Linghua glanced at each other, and tacitly moved the screen back to its original place. As soon as it was placed, Sui Sheng knocked on the door: "Master, the apprentice brought the medicine, can you have some?" ”

Linghua looked out the window, at this time the sun had just come out of the horizon, and the time was not half an hour at all, so Sui Sheng actually came to ask in advance.

Dr. Cao also found out that Suisheng had come early, put on a gown and sat at the small round table, waving to Linghua and Henggu, they hurriedly jumped out of the window, and the cat watched under the window.

Dr. Cao coughed a few times and shouted vigorously: "Suisheng, I am very uncomfortable, you come in quickly." ”

Xiang Suisheng pushed the door in, lowered his head and held the tray above his head, looked around the study quietly with cunning eyes, walked to Dr. Cao, and said respectfully: "Master, please drink medicine." ”

Dr. Cao leaned on the chair with a sad expression, and he didn't even want to open his eyelids: "Well, I was born...... Do you still respect you as a teacher? ”

Sui Sheng put the medicine bowl on the table and asked puzzledly, "Naturally respectful, how did Master talk about this?" ”

Doctor Cao's voice was intermittent: "When you first arrived in Jieping Town, you were still a child, I saw that you were helpless, and those little demons refused to accept you, so they accepted you as a disciple."

Speaking of which, that time was one of the few times I was happy after Aqin's illness. At that time, you were always angry with me, thinking that I was old and confused and didn't understand anything, but now I am much calmer, and I am relieved. ”

Dr. Cao slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were gloomy, he looked at the sky outside the door blankly, as if he was in memory: "I have been treating you as my own child all these years, you take care of me and respect me, I see it in my eyes."

If it weren't for those things, you would have been a happy child, alas...... It's a pity that the world is impermanent, you and I are stuck in the quagmire and can't get out. ”

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Sui Sheng looked Dr. Cao's face up and down while listening, he wanted to go up and touch Dr. Cao's pulse, but he didn't want to be gently pushed away.

"Suisheng, I have been suffering from blood fever for several years, and the medicine you asked Di Yuan for help me seems to be useless, this is Master's life."

Dr. Cao took Sui Sheng's hand, took out a flannel cloth from his arms, opened it and handed it to him. Sui Sheng looked down and saw that it was a complete gold ingot.

"Child, this is my family's heirloom, you help me take it well. There are not many family backgrounds, don't dislike it. After speaking, Dr. Cao coughed violently, and a mouthful of blood coughed on his hand, staining his withered fingers red.

Sui Sheng panicked, he hurriedly found a handkerchief to wipe the blood of Dr. Cao, and picked up a bowl and scooped up a spoonful of blood medicine and fed it to Dr. Cao's mouth.

His voice trembled: "Master, what are you talking about?" You still have a lot of years to live, how did you end up like this overnight? But what happened? ”

He hurriedly took out a pill: "Master, take this medicine given by Emperor Yuan." ”

Doctor Cao swallowed the blood medicine and waved his hand slightly: "No need, her medicine is not a good thing, it is called medicine, it is actually poisonous, and it is used to control people." I have my own body, just drink two bowls of blood medicine. ”

Sui Sheng was silent, quietly fed the two bowls of medicine to Dr. Cao, and waited on the side. With the nourishment of the blood medicine, Dr. Cao's face improved significantly, and he relieved himself for a while, but his eyes were still covered with a layer of ashes.

"I'm fine, you go get busy." He waved his hand at Suisheng, but Suisheng did not move.

Seeing this, Doctor Cao said with concern: "But what's wrong with Zhuo Zhuo?" ”

Sui Sheng shook his head: "No, he has only been in contact with the Ling family's sisters and brothers recently, and has not been in contact with others, he is a lot more honest, and the master doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Doctor Cao stood up with his support on the table and moved his muscles: "That's good, he was quite active a few days ago, and now that he has settled down, he doesn't have to keep an eye on it, don't let him rebel and backfire." ”

"Yes, in vain." Sui Sheng held Dr. Cao's arm and gave him his forearm.

"By the way, how is the Ling family's sister and brother? If it is better, put it in a new room and fill it with medicine and blood as soon as possible. Doctor Cao naturally asked, and Sui Sheng did not have the slightest doubt.

"Her younger brother Ling Gu has almost recovered, but I have never collected Ling Gu's blood, if I use their blood to nourish the master, it will definitely not cause the master to fall ill again."

Then he hated and said: "They are guarding against me, that Ling Hua didn't let me get close at all, it must be Zhuo Zhuo's fault, he can't get used to me for a day or two, no matter what, he has to block me." ”

Doctor Cao smiled and patted Sui Sheng's hand: "The position is different, how can you talk about obedience?" You just think too far away, leave room for everything to turn around, don't push too hard.

Since they guard against you, put them in a new room for their subordinates to watch, and you can be sure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"I know." Sui Sheng was reluctant.

Doctor Cao knew that he was not convinced, so he didn't say much, but just instructed: "As a teacher, I can't accompany you for a lifetime, I must go one step ahead of you, be careful in everything, don't be rash." ”

Sui Sheng grabbed Dr. Cao when he heard this, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is Zhuo Zhuo coming to force you?" He wants to know the truth about his demonization, right? ”

"No, he didn't come to me, and my illness wasn't a matter of a day or two, and it was only a matter of time before the oil ran out. I want to talk to Ah Qin, you can go. Dr. Cao waved his hand to let Suisheng out, and walked to the bookshelf to turn the mechanism.

Sui Sheng took advantage of Dr. Cao's back, looked at the bottom of the table and the screen, and retreated silently.
