Chapter 55: He's Dying
Xue Gu stood behind Ling Yao, listening carefully to the conversation between the two, and was shocked when she heard that Yu Jingzi had lost her life's cultivation.
She always thought that he was just too seriously injured, as long as Xinyuan returned to his place, he could recuperate for a while, but she didn't expect that he had given up 80,000 years of cultivation!
Pinching his fingers, it has been three days since she followed Ling Yao back to the Heavenly Palace, and if Yu Jingzi's cultivation is lost, then he will not be able to live for a few days.
She thought left and right, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
After Renhe left, Ling Yao didn't stay long, and simply instructed Xue Gu to go to the library pavilion.
She sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the person on the bed, and secretly made some kind of determination.
Taking advantage of Ling Yao's lunch break, she secretly went down to the mortal world and went to Pansnake Mountain.
It is obviously a warm spring breeze, but now there is snow in Pansnake Mountain.
Not only did it bury the entire Snake Mountain, but the barren land within a radius of hundreds of miles was covered with heavy snow.
She had a bad premonition in her heart, and after flying into the Pansnake Mountain Palace, she didn't break in head-on.
Standing on the eaves, she saw Yujingzi dressed in a fox fur.
He walked across a small bridge towards the room where Xi and he had been staying.
She didn't see his face, just his back, his long hair as pale as snow draped over his shoulders, and countless snowflakes fell on him, blending with his long hair.
Every step left behind deep and shallow footprints, and the shape fell alone, not at all like the Yujingzi she once knew.
Memories of the past poured into her mind, but it was inexplicably sour compared to the people in front of her.
She knew that even if she came, she wouldn't change anything.
She also knew that the person he wanted to see most was not her.
She stayed in the snake mountain for a while and then returned to the heavenly palace, she woke up from the bedside, looking at the person on the bed who had not yet woken up, and her heart began to get anxious.
After hesitating again and again, she slowly poured spiritual power into Xihe's body, and prayed in her mouth, "Senior sister, please wake up quickly, okay?" ”
Xihe's body has been destroyed several times, and she can no longer easily accept the spiritual power from the outside world, so Renhe Xianjun has always emphasized that she must cultivate slowly, and if she rushes too much, it will cause damage to her body and fall into the root of the disease.
And now, she has to do it.
"My good junior sister, wake up quickly."
Xue Gu kept pouring aura into her body, and finally stopped because she was worried that her body would be unbearable.
After waiting for a long time, Xihe still didn't wake up, she stayed in front of the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
I don't know how long later, I suddenly heard someone calling her overhead, "Aunt Xue." ”
The voice is very weak, and the breath is like a gossamer.
She raised her head suddenly, looked at the weak person in front of her in surprise, and hugged her tightly, "Xihe, you're finally awake!" ”
Her voice trembled a little with excitement, and she was hugged too tightly by her, and coughed violently a few times.
"Blame me for being so excited." She let go of her peace and said, "I'll ask the master to come over now." ”
With that, she turned and ran out.
Not long after, Xue Gu followed Ling Yao back to Xihe's room.
Ling Yao probed her pulse, and the rock in her heart fell to the ground, "Xihe, you have passed this catastrophe." ”
"Master, it's a foolish apprentice, letting the sinister villain hide by his side but never noticing, and losing the Nuwa Stone in vain doesn't say that the master is disturbed." She was about to get up and apologize when Ling Yao stopped her, "Your body is still cultivating, and you will think about it in the long run when you have cultivated your body." ”
Xihe sat back, and could only raise his hand to salute, "Master Prison is worried." ”
"Then you can rest and recuperate, and you will go back to the library first as a teacher."
Ling Yao got up, and the two of them saluted, and it wasn't until she watched Ling Yao walk out of the room that Xue Gu withdrew her gaze.
When I turned around, I saw the worry on her face, which had been the case since she woke up.
Xihe asked, "Aunt Xue, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"I'm just waiting for the master to leave, and I have something to say to you."
Strange and unknown.
Xue Gu sat on the edge of the bed, leaned closer, and said, "Do you know how you escaped from the Soul Gathering Knife? ”
"I'm also wondering that Master said that even she and Ren and Xianjun can't do anything." She said, thinking for a moment, and asked unconvinced, "Is it ......?"
Xue Gu shook her head, "It's not Demon Venerable. ”
"Could it be Yujingzi?"
She remembered that the last moment she closed her eyes, she saw the handsome face of Tamakiko.
"He took out his heart element for you to protect your heart and immortal veins, and then broke into the ghost prison alone and got the resentment water from Xuandu, and when he came back, Master and I had just come down from the Heavenly Palace."
Xihe was a little unbelievable, "Without the heart element protection body, he can still beat Xuandu ......"
"Probably not." Xue Gu said, "Even if he has a heart element, he may not be Xuandu's opponent, he was already gray-haired when he came back with the resentment water." ”
"Gray hair? Why gray hair? Xihe unconsciously clenched the quilt on his hand, "Is he seriously injured?" And now? ”
She lowered her eyes, "I thought he was seriously injured, and he would be fine after recuperating for a while after Xinyuan returned to his position, but...... But ......"
"But what?" Xihe was a little anxious, she had a premonition of ominousness, but she didn't dare to think about the worst.
"When I heard Ren and Xianjun talking to Master before, I guessed that he had exchanged his life's cultivation for that bottle of resentment water." She said in a deep voice.
"You...... Why didn't Master tell me this? Didn't even say a word about Yujingzi saving me? ”
As soon as she woke up, after hearing these things from Xue Gu's mouth, her brain instantly became a mess and ached faintly.
She said, "Master doesn't tell you this, you and I should know it in our hearts, but I can't help but tell you that I saw with my own eyes that it was he who sacrificed his life to save you, and you may never see him again in a short time." ”
Her eyes were a little sour when she said the last sentence.
Seeing Xihe holding his head, as if he was still thinking and entangled, Xue Gu grabbed her shoulder, "Xihe, you should know that the person he wants to see most now is you." ”
"Did he really give up his life for me?" Xihe furrowed his brows, looked at Xue Gu's eager eyes and asked, "Aren't you lying to me?" ”
It's not that she doesn't believe it, it's that she finds it difficult to accept this fact, or even says she can't accept it.
Xue Gu replied word by word, "He's dying." ”
She coughed violently in her chest.
When she recovered, she rolled over and got out of bed.
Before leaving, he glanced at Xue Gu and whispered, "Xue Gu, please." ”
After Xihe left, Xue Gu turned into Xihe's appearance and lay on the bed, she knew that Xihe couldn't come back for a while, and she could only delay it for a while.
When Xihe dragged his weak body to the foot of Pansnake Mountain, the sky was full of snow, and the heavy snow covered the three blood-red characters on the stone gate "Pansnake Mountain".
Returning to his hometown, Xihe has a feeling of being absent for a long time, and everything seems to be back to the starting point.
She went up to the Snake Mountain, but because her body was too weak, even the spell was much weaker, she flew halfway and fell, and she could only rely on a pair of legs to slowly climb the Snake Mountain.
Walked along the way and rested, and climbed for nearly an hour before I saw the mountain hall of Pansnake Mountain.
As soon as she wanted to walk in, she was stopped by two little demons at the door, "Who trespassed on Snake Mountain?" ”
"I am a friend of your Highness." She replied weakly.
Seeing that she seemed to be a little familiar, the two little demons were polite, "You wait here first, and wait for me to go in and make a report." ”
After speaking, one of the little demons flew into the mountain hall, and she didn't wait long for the little demon to fly back, and her tone returned to her previous indifference, "Our Highness said that he didn't see anyone, so please go back." ”
"You tell him that my name is Xihe, and he will definitely let me in." She said again.
In desperation, the little demon flew back to the mountain hall, and when it flew back again, he still said, "Our Highness said that no matter who it is, I won't see it. ”
Xihe wondered a little, why didn't he want to see her?
"Have you told your Highness my name?"
The little demon replied, "I have reported it truthfully, besides, our Highness has been closed since he returned to Pansnake Mountain a few days ago, and he has not seen outsiders, I have been accommodating twice, since His Highness said that he will not see you, he will definitely not see you, I think you should go back quickly." ”
"This big brother, I am really a friend of your Highness, please be more accommodating and see if you can put me in?"
"This can't work, the snow is so heavy, I think the girl should please go back."
"I really didn't lie to you, I was here last time, I don't know if you remember?"
The two little demons saw that she was stalking and had a headache, so they drove her down the mountain, and Xihe shouted loudly to the main hall in the mountain, "Yujingzi, I'm Xihe, Yujingzi-"
She came down in a hurry, dressed thinly, and stood in the snow, and after a while she felt cold.
But she still stood in front of the gate of the mountain hall, looking at the magnificent mountain hall in front of her.
Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, she craned her shoulders and breathed hot air into her palms, she didn't believe that he would let her stand here and freeze to death.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a person to walk from the hall to this side, she was so surprised that she looked over there, and when she walked in, she saw that it was a young lady in black who was holding a thick fox fur cloak and walked towards him.
She handed her the cloak in her hand and said, "Miss Xihe, it's too cold, you better go back quickly, even if you wait for three days and three nights, my Royal Highness will not see you." ”
"Why won't he see me?" Xihe asked worriedly, "Is he angry because I haven't come to see him?" Or ......"
The mother hurriedly interrupted her, "Miss Xihe, Your Highness, he has been unwell recently, and he is in retreat, so he can't see you." ”
"Not feeling well? Where is the discomfort? Her heart rose to her throat, and her face was full of worry.
After putting the shawl in her hand, she looked at her fixedly and turned around and left, and Xi wanted to catch up and was stopped by the two little demons on the side again.
Xihe watched the back of the young lady disappear at the end of the temple road, she hung her head, looked at the cloak on her hand, and when she was about to put it on, she shook off a note from it.
She bent down to pick it up and took a closer look, the words "invisibility cloak" were written on it, and she was immediately overjoyed, she knew that this was her mother helping her.
She walked to the side where no one was, put on her cloak and hat, and when she walked back again, she first tested the two little demons in front of the hall to make sure that they really couldn't see her, and then walked in openly.
She walked into the main hall, which was empty, more empty and deserted than when she had come, except for a row of heavily guarded guards standing in the corridor in front of the door.
