Chapter 03: Death Is Near
At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that the needles could be heard, and the pictures in the room seemed to condense: at the door of the room scattered with sawdust, a girl with messy hair was grabbed by the arms of two men, one tall and one short, with tears in her eyes; in front of the girl, a young man with roe eyebrows and rat eyes was pinching her cheek, a playful smile froze on his face, and all four of them looked at Nie Kong sitting on the bed in amazement.
The girl woke up first, looked at Nie Kong who moved her legs to the edge of the bed, was surprised, and hurriedly shook off the three martial arts boys who were still stunned, threw herself in front of the bed, and shouted incoherently, "Wake up, finally wake up...... Uncle, it's great that you're not dead......" Tears fell.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry, I'm fine. 」
Nie Kong let out a long breath, a smile squeezed out of his face, his eyes fell on the girl's face, his eyes were warm, and there was a natural cordiality and warmth in his heart.
This is his sister-in-law Huamei, only nineteen years old, with a beautiful face, delicate and beautiful facial features, although her eyes are red and swollen from crying, but the appearance of this pear blossom with rain makes her feel a little bit of pity, and it is no wonder that since she married into the Nie family three years ago, Nie Fengxing has never forgotten her.
The three people at the door also came to their senses.
The man with roe eyebrows and rat eyes swaggered over, looked at Nie Kong with some surprise, and sneered, "It turns out that he is not dead yet, his life is really hard enough. It's okay if you're not dead, Huamei, now you don't need to prepare a funeral for your little brother-in-law, what reason do you have to refuse?"
"I...... I'll go with you......
Hua Mei stopped crying, her cheeks turned pale, and she bit her lip.
"Wait!"
Nie Kong pressed Huamei's shoulder, his eyes stared at the man, that gaze seemed to be looking at a dead man, and after a while, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Wu Tong, you are all dying, and you are still here to fight for the tiger?"
"Death?"
After being stunned for a moment, Wu Tong held his stomach and laughed, "Really, this is the funniest joke I've heard in more than twenty years. I just broke through the barrier of the Nine Grades of Gathering Spirits this morning and became a psychic first-grade spirit master, and I am disease-free and painless, and I have more than enough to live to be a hundred years old. 」
Hua Mei glanced at Nie Kong with some concern.
Spirit masters are a powerful group of people in this world, who can use the spiritual power of heaven and earth to cultivate, and their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. The cultivation of the spirit master has nine realms: gathering spirits, channeling spirits, melting spirits, transforming spirits, imperial spirits, void spirits, pill spirits, cave spirits, and heavenly spirits, and each layer is divided into nine grades. Wu Tong has a psychic cultivation, which can only be regarded as a low-level spirit master, but for ordinary people, it is enough to look up to.
Wu Tong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his face sank, and he said coldly, "Erlin, Sanmu, take Huamei away. 」
"Yes. 」
Glancing at the tall and short men who came over, Nie Kong was not in a hurry, and said to Wu Tong with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can use your fingers to poke between the seventh cervical vertebra and the first thoracic vertebra to see what the reaction is. 」
Seeing that Nie Kong was talking about something, Wu Tong smiled weirdly: "Poke and poke, can you still poke me to death?" As he spoke, his right index finger touched the space between the cervical vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae at the back of his head, and pressed a little harder. The next moment, Wu Tong only felt that his scalp exploded, his eyes turned black, his whole body was numb, and he staggered forward like a drunk before he stabilized his body, and his face began to turn a little pale.
Nie Kong said, "How do you feel?"
"What's going on?"
Wu Tong stared at Nie Kong deadly, a little drumming in his heart, although he stabilized his steps, the dizziness in his head and the tingling sensation on his body had not completely disappeared.
Looking at his expression, Hua Mei knew that Nie Kong was right, and her watery eyes were suddenly full of surprise. Erlin and Miki couldn't help but stop.
Nie Kong said slowly: "This is a hidden disease caused by your improper cultivation, it is not obvious originally, if your cultivation has been staying in the Gathering Spirit Realm, it may not appear until ten years later, but when you stepped into the Spiritual Realm this morning, this hidden disease broke out in advance. Looking at the way you just looked, it's obviously very serious. 」
Wu Tong's face changed, and he forced a smile: "Joke? It's just nonsense, if there was this so-called hidden disease a long time ago, how could I not know?"
Nie Kong said, "You must have been very reluctant to break through to the psychic this time, right?"
"How do you know?" Wu Tong blurted out.
"That's right. 」
Nie Kong didn't answer, just nodded faintly, and then turned his eyes to Erlin and Miki, "You two also have the same hidden disease. 」
"We?"
Hearing the answer between Nie Kong and Wu Tong, the two of them had already believed what Nie Kong said, and now when they heard Nie Kong say this, their faces changed greatly, and they raised their fingers and poked them at the back of their heads. Wu Tong stared at the two of them, and in an instant, he saw their bodies shaking, and his eyes were blank.
Erlin and Miki shook their heads, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Wu Tong's face was even more ugly, his two little eyes were dripping, and he smiled dryly, "It's really ...... It's really nonsense, when I cultivate, I completely follow what is written on the spiritual formula, how can it be that improper cultivation can cause such a hidden disease? Erlin, Miki, you say right?"
"Yes, yes. 」
The two of them nodded, their faces as earthy as they were.
Nie Kong shook his head and said nothing, and helped Hua Mei, who was half-squatting in front of the bed, up. When Hua Mei sat down on the edge of the bed, Nie Kong was so tired that he was panting, and his forehead was sweating. Although he forcibly broke free from the vegetative state, he had almost exhausted his mental strength after talking for so long, and now he was completely relying on perseverance.
"Uncle. 」
Hua Mei caressed Nie Kong's back and whispered worriedly. Nie Kong hurriedly smiled, shook her cold little hand, and signaled that he was fine. Huamei withdrew her palm like a frightened fawn, and two faint blush rose up on her cheeks. Only then did Nie Kong realize that he was a little reckless.
Nie Kong was silent, and Wu Tong was a little flustered in his heart, and said, "Nie Kong, why don't you speak?"
"Say what?"
Nie Kong's eyelids lifted.
Wu Tong smiled kindly: "Didn't you say that we have a hidden disease, you should always explain to us how this hidden disease appeared, right?" Erlin and Sanmu also looked at Nie Kong, their faces full of smiles, and their expressions showed a sense of flattery.
Nie Kong said, "Who are you, why should I tell you?"
"You ......"
Wu Tong was very annoyed, and suddenly his eyes rolled, and he glanced at Erlin and Miki, pointed at Hua Mei and said sharply, "Send her to see the third young master." 」
Nie Kong sneered, "It seems that some people are really not afraid of death. If my sister-in-law goes to see your third young master, I'm afraid she won't be able to live, in this case, it's not bad to have three people to accompany the funeral. Sister-in-law, did you say yes?" Hua Mei nodded her head a few times in cooperation.
Wu Tong's face froze, and Erlin and Miki, who rolled up their sleeves, also flinched and paused.
I was going to threaten this sick man, but I didn't expect to be threatened by him, Wu Tong suppressed his anger and said gloomily, "Nie Kong, what do you want?"
Nie Kong said, "You know very well what I want. 」
Wu Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you win, we won't take Huamei back today." 」
Nie Kong said, "What about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?"
"You ......"
Wu Tong's eyes widened, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he thought of the hidden disease, his expression softened again, "The Nie family rules are there, your father died fighting for the Nie family, as long as you are alive, even if the third young master is the son of the patriarch, you don't dare to go too far, if you have the chance, I will also say a few words to the third young master, but this won't delay long, if you want to keep Huamei, it's best to think of other ways as soon as possible." 」
"Good. Nie Kong's head bowed and said, "The main reason why the three of you have such a hidden illness is because you ...... Not surnamed Nie. 」
"What do you mean?" The three of them were confused.
Nie Kong looked at them with an idiot-like gaze: "You are not really members of the Nie family, you can only be regarded as servants, and the Nie family will teach you the complete spiritual formula? This is not a secret, all the people surnamed Nie know it, but they are just hiding it from you servants with foreign surnames. 」
The three of them opened their mouths when they heard this, and Wu Tong's face was cloudy: "What you said is true?"
Nie Kong said, "You can go to other servants to verify it. 」
"How can this hidden disease be solved?" Wu Tong took a deep breath.
Nie Kong said slowly, "It's okay to tell you, first of all, stop cultivating. Secondly, use spiritual power to rub the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and the top of the head for half an hour, three times a time, this "kneading" action is also exquisite......" Nie Kong moved out some massage techniques from his previous life.
Erlin and Miki's heads were like chickens pecking rice, and Wu Tong wondered, "That's it. 」
Nie Kong sneered, "This is only the first stage, after persisting for a month, the hidden disease will be alleviated, and if you want to cure it, you must also carry out the second stage of treatment. 」
"What is the second stage?" Wu Tong frowned.
"I'll tell you in a month's time. 」
"Okay!Nie Kong, I hope what you said is true, otherwise ......" Wu Tong bared his teeth and turned to leave the room. Erlin and Miki hurriedly followed, they couldn't wait to try the actions that Nie Kong had said, after all, it was a matter of life and death.
"Tell Nie Fengxing, 'Rejuvenation Dew' and I'll return him as soon as possible. There was a snort outside, and Nie Kong narrowed his eyes and leaned against the head of the bed in collapse.
