Chapter 33: Side Effects of the Corpse Pill
Taigong was already very tired, his voice was getting quieter and quieter, the wound on his stomach was still bleeding, and gradually, those black qi crawled all over his neck and began to spread to his face.
My tears were also falling wetly.
Looking back at my mother's empty coffin, and then looking at my grandfather's old and sad face, I know that the two best people in the world will leave me completely today.
"Taigong ......"
I hugged him, if I had a choice, I would rather not know anything, I was still the carefree peasant child, although life was a little harder, and I was troubled by my father and grandmother every once in a while, but it was better than now.
"Child, don't cry, remember that you are the descendant of the Wang family, you must be strong!"
My grandfather struggled to wipe away my tears, and choked up himself.
I don't want to be a descendant of the Wang family, I just want to keep the prince and let him not leave me so early, but unfortunately this request can only be extravagant.
Seeing that Taigong's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't even lift his arms, I panicked and looked at the second uncle, "Second uncle, please save Taigong, save him......"
The second uncle looked indifferent, shook his head, and didn't move.
The old man who was invited to help by Taigong also sighed helplessly, "It's useless to attack the heart, not to mention that your Taigong has forcibly overdrawn so much vitality." ”
I couldn't accept such a reality, so I wanted to lie on Taigong and cry, but Taigong pushed me away with his last strength, and turned his gaze to the black and thin old man tremblingly,
"Senior brother, I know that I am a bastard, and I didn't listen to you back then, which led to today's end, but I, but I don't regret it, Zhou Xuan, this kid, he has a very clean heart, he doesn't know anything, I beg you, help...... Help me take care of him until he is an adult ......"
Taigong was already struggling to speak, but he still shook my hand hard and asked me to kowtow to the dry old man.
Seeing that I didn't move, he pushed me again with all his might, and my feet slipped and I fell to my knees.
The thin old man looked at me hesitantly, and then focused on Taigong, "Little junior brother, it's not that you're afraid of trouble as a senior brother, it's just that this kid also has a lot of cause and effect, and when he grows up, I'm afraid he will ......."
"I beg you, senior brother, for the sake of so many years of brotherhood, fulfill my last wish."
Taigong also tried his last strength to get up and kneel down for this little old man, but his body was too weak, and he fell down heavily as soon as he got up halfway, and the black qi on his neck had already traveled all over his cheeks, and even the Tianling Gai was covered by that dead air.
"Taigong!"
I knew that this was a sign that Taigong was about to leave this world, and immediately cried and cried to lie on him, but the thin old man suddenly stepped forward, grabbed my arm, and did not allow me to come close to Taigong.
"Kid, he's too dangerous, and if you get too close to him, you can get infected."
"No, you let go of me, I'm going to see Taigong, what's wrong with you, Taigong, don't you go......"
Looking at Taigong, who fell to the ground again and his body became stiff a little bit, I burst into tears and struggled frantically.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the back of my head, as if I had been hit by something in the back of my head, and my eyes went black, and I fainted instantly.
When the consciousness gradually detached from the body, I vaguely heard the sigh of the thin old man behind me,
"Wrong, little junior brother, don't worry, I will take care of this child until he reaches adulthood."
"Thank you...... Brother! ”
This is the last sentence that Taigong left in the world.
When I woke up, the fog that enveloped Zhoujiagou had already dispersed, and I was outside the village.
The sky was already completely bright, and the harsh sun was shining on me, and the stinging pain from my eyelids made me close my eyes again, and I felt that everything hurt everywhere.
I scrambled to my feet, still thinking about what had happened before I fell unconscious, and when I was feeling extremely low, there was an old laugh in my ears.
"Boy, awake?"
I was stunned for a moment, and gently lifted my eyelids, until my eyes adjusted to the scorching light outside, and then I saw clearly that standing in front of me was the dry-looking, sloppy-looking old man.
He is the elder brother of Taigong, and he is also my savior.
I moved my dry throat and said, "What about my grandfather?" ”
"It's burning!"
The old man took out a cigarette stick from his arms, put it to his mouth and took two sips, sighed and said, "The corpse invades the body, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it is easy to cause a corpse mutation, and the old man can only burn the body of your grandfather, so as not to cause a lot of trouble in the future." ”
I groaned, my brain still dizzy, and I felt so uncomfortable as I sat on the ground.
In addition to the soreness and powerlessness on the body, it is more of a sadness in the heart.
After being silent for a while, I continued to ask, "Then my second uncle ......?"
"Let's go!"
The old man crossed Erlang's legs, spitting out the circles under his eyes, rubbing his feet with his other hand, squeezing out a smile, I don't know why, it always makes me feel obscene.
He wrote lightly, "Your second uncle is a descendant of the Zhou family after all, and you were born by plundering the luck of the ancestors of the Zhou family, your birth has brought such a great misfortune to the Zhou family, he will be very embarrassed to get along with you, since your father-in-law and your mother are dead, his goal is also achieved, of course there is no reason to continue to stay here." ”
"Oh!"
I lowered my head, still feeling extremely sour in my heart.
I used to regard my second uncle as my relative, but now I understand that I am not the Zhou family's species at all, and I have no blood relationship with him.
The second uncle came back this time, not simply to save me, I am afraid that the biggest purpose is to ask my grandfather and my mother for explanation......
When I think of this, I have a headache, my head is really hurting, it feels like it's going to explode, while my consciousness is still sober, I throw out my last question,
"Since I am not a descendant of the Zhou family, then who is my father, my mother is from the Wang family, so where is my father?"
The little old man smiled and tapped the door of my head with a cigarette stick, "Does this question matter, you kid is dying, instead of thinking about who to call daddy, you still want to live." ”
What?
I covered my dizzy head and asked him very hard why he said that I was going to die, didn't everyone surnamed Wang run away?
The little old man sank his face and said in an extraordinarily gloomy voice,
"Before, your mother gave you her corpse pill in a hurry, that thing is a big yin thing, which is of great benefit to cultivators, but for an ordinary child who has never been exposed to cultivation and doesn't know how to fuse corpse pills, it is simply the deadliest poison."
The Xuanyin Qi in the corpse pill has entered my body and is connected to my bloodline, and now my whole body is full of cold poison, and if I am not careful, I will die violently against the flow of Yin Qi!
"What?"
The little old man's words frightened the corners of my mouth, and I wanted to get up in disbelief, the little old man turned pale, pressed my shoulder, and scolded you don't move, but I jumped up first, and just about to open my mouth to speak, I felt a light surge under my lower abdomen, and my brain buzzed, and then I didn't know anything.
