For a whole day, Xu Que was frozen in place, with no senses, let the poisonous insects bite him, without a trace of pain, and his body seemed to no longer belong to him.

At such a time, he didn't have time to curse the crazy old man anymore, carefully recalled the bloody method mentioned in the ancient book, concentrated his consciousness, and tried to meditate on the star mansion in the dantian.

Soon, he seemed to see a vast starry sky, but there was only one star and it was dim, and he knew that it was his dantian.

Under the mobilization of consciousness, new blood is constantly created in the body, resisting the venom of poisonous insects, and at the same time, the dantian star mansion is flushed, wiping a qiē gray, and the stars are bright.

Until nightfall, thousands of poisonous insects ate a full meal on him, leaving behind all kinds of strange poisons, and then retreated.

Xu Que's consciousness was still in the Dantian Star Mansion, and the star was obviously brighter than during the day, and it was gradually clearly visible.

In the vast darkness, there is only one star, weak and lonely, but it is always bright, like a fragile flame in the night, no matter how the wind and darkness cover it, it is still bright after all.

Xu Que suddenly felt a kind of kindness, this star seemed to be very similar to his life, the same low, the same weak, but it has never been erased......

The next day, he woke up from the severe pain, and the sensation of his body had already recovered, and a complex pain of excruciating pain that was unbearable, but itchy in every way, sour and numb, was completely gathered.

Xu Que gasped, hit a spirit and woke up completely, his mouth was extremely dry, and the strong survival ** drove him to endure severe pain and torture, and crawled to the river to drink water with difficulty!

On the rippling surface of the river, Xu Que suddenly saw an unrecognizable monster reflected in it, and he knew that it was him.

......

In the afternoon, the poisonous insects came out in swarms again, exactly the same as yesterday, the number increased unabated, Xu Que felt a kind of uneasiness and panic, he didn't know if he could hold on.

And this time, he can no longer feel nothing, every bite of the poisonous insect is like a bite in the heart, every bite makes him extremely painful, hurt and injured, and finally use the poison of new blood to flush out, at this moment again full of the whole body, even the stars in the dantian are dimmed again.

Xu Que didn't even have the strength to struggle, lying on the ground dying, a poisonous spider crawled into his mouth, he used his last bit of strength to bite the spider to death, and the sour and numb juice flowed into his mouth, this was his first meal in two days.

He did what the ancient books mentioned was to drink the blood of strange beasts!

At night, the tide of poisonous insects was gone again, and he continued to wash the star mansion with blood as he did yesterday, so that the stars were bright again.

On the third day, the tide of poisonous insects came again, and Xu Que blinked tiredly, looking very calm.

......

Two months later, he appeared outside Wuhou City, and he was already unrecognizable, and no one could recognize him lightly.

At this time, he was wearing a coat and robe, and his hat covered most of his face, and he walked into Wuhou City.

Coming to a pharmacy, Xu Que stopped his pace, this time he entered the city to buy medicine, in the past two months, he has completed feeding on wind weeds, drinking the blood of strange beasts, and then as long as he washes his body with secret water, completely washes away the impurities of the five internal organs, he can step into the second floor of the blood bathing realm.

At that time, his devastated skin will also be shed and restored to its original appearance.

It's just that the prescription in the ancient book, every mentioned medicinal material is extremely precious, and he is penniless, so he can't help but stand outside the pharmacy and worry.

"I don't know if the owner of this pharmacy will let me take credit, if I refuse to give credit, will it be better if I borrow it myself?" Xu Que hesitated in his heart.

At this moment, several young men came to the front of the street, looking richly dressed and looking quite wealthy.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows slightly, and he had a thought, with his current strength, if he used the Flying Dragon Cloud Exploration Hand, it would not be a problem to get the silver taels on those men.

But just as Xu Que was about to make a move, the words of several people talking made his body stiffen.

"I don't know what the third lady of the Wuhou Mansion thinks, she actually gave the Xingxing Stone to that little family, and lied that she lost it, and almost ruined her cultivation path. ”

"Alas, if it weren't for Wuhou and the eldest lady personally sending her to the imperial city and persuading the empress to make an exception to give the mending star stone, I'm afraid that her life would be like this, what do you say about that little family, a little scoundrel in the market, can actually make the third lady make such a big sacrifice. ”

"Can't you see this? That little family is very scheming, and it is normal for the third young lady to be deceived with her innocent character. ”

"This little family is really hateful, if I meet him, I will definitely teach him a lesson. ”

......

When they heard this, several young people happened to pass by Xu Que.

Xu Que stayed in place, his hat blocked his face, and he couldn't see his expression at this time.

"This little girl, how could she ......" he muttered in a low voice, unbelievable in his heart, Ji Ling'er deceived him, and secretly gave away the star stone that belonged to her, wanting to fulfill his dream of becoming a monk.

"Little beggar, begging for food and going farther, don't get in the way. At this time, a young man who passed by Xu Que frowned, glanced at him, and said impatiently.

Xu Que came back to his senses, looked up at the young man, as if he wanted to be sure of something, and asked in a trembling voice: "This brother, you just said that the third lady of Wuhou Mansion ......?"

Before he finished asking, the young man's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed at him in surprise: "You...... That's right, it's you, I was there at the stargazing conference that day, and I know you when you turned to ashes, how did you become like this?"

When he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of several friends beside him, and they all turned their eyes to Xu Que.

Xu Que was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that he had become like this, and there was still someone who could recognize him, so he quickly pulled down his shabby hat to cover his face, turned around and left in a hurry.

But the young man behind him exclaimed loudly: "Neighbors, look, the family member who deceived the third lady of Wuhou Mansion has come back, if it is really evil, he has changed beyond recognition, but I still recognize it." ”

Xu Que had just taken a few steps, and when he heard this, his body trembled slightly.

He turned his head suddenly, stared at the young man, and whispered, "I didn't lie to her. ”

No one saw that his small hands, which were hidden by the sleeves of his coat that were several sizes larger, were clenched tightly.

The young man smiled and said, "You didn't lie to her? Then how could she hide from the Wuhou Mansion and secretly give you the Star Replenishing Stone? Moreover, if you are not a thief, why do you want to disfigure yourself, aren't you afraid of being recognized?"

When the ordinary people who passed nearby heard the movement, they also began to gather, some people also recognized Xu Que, their faces were full of surprise, and some people began to whisper, accusing him of bad deeds.

On the second floor of the inn not far away, a young man in white who was drinking tea also heard the movement, turned his head, his eyes moved down slightly, and after falling on Xu Que, the young man was slightly stunned.

"How did he become like this?" the boy frowned slightly, brought the teacup in his hand to his lips, and took a sip.

At this time, there were more and more people around him, and the accusations became more and more intense, Xu Que stood in the crowd, slightly distracted, and remembered the sweet smile that Ji Ling'er had before leaving that day......

"Isn't this little girl a fool?" He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, mending the star stone, that is a matter related to the future of his life, how can he give it away so lightly.

But fortunately, he knew that the big mistake he made would not be very strict, and those young people had mentioned that Ji Ling'er had been sent to the imperial city, and the empress had also made an exception to give the star stone, and she would not be oblivious to everyone.

Xu Que couldn't help but show a little smile on his face, and breathed a sigh of relief, he had already made a certain decision silently in his heart, very resolutely.

Then, he regained his composure, looked up at the people around him who were accusing him, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't care, and didn't want to explain anything, because there was no need.

He reached out and pulled the brim of his hat, deciding that he was leaving, not wanting to be caught back by the Wuhou Mansion.

But before he turned around and took a step, the young man behind him suddenly chased after him, grabbed the collar behind him, and said sharply: "Do you still want to run? Today I must arrest you to Wuhou Mansion, and wait for Wuhou to come back from the imperial city and ask you for your guilt in person." ”

Xu Que was stunned, slowly turned his head, looked at the young man and asked, "You mean, Wuhou is not in the city now?"

"That's right, so I'm afraid you won't have a better time during this time, and the torture tools in the prison cell of Wuhou Mansion are enough for you. The young man's face was full of smiles, and it was more of a surprise, because the Wuhou Mansion has always rewarded those who have made meritorious contributions.

Xu Que nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was relieved.

He calmly glanced at everyone present, smiled, and said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, I won't leave today." I don't know how many taels of silver you have with you, can you take them out and lend me some first? I'm in a hurry. ”
