Chapter 344: Illness
"What the hell is going on, is something wrong with my father?" Wuqi's voice suddenly changed, and he asked urgently.
Perrault nodded subconsciously, he was silent for about three seconds, and sorted out the thoughts in his mind a little, and then slowly replied: "Something is indeed wrong." Your father's strength was indeed very strong, even terrifying. However, a battle killed all the Sacred Realm powerhouses in the World Realm, and he himself suffered a lot of damage.
The strength directly stepped out of the realm of the peak of the holy domain with half a foot, and fell to the level of the peak of the master level.
Later, your father took me back to my village, and he planned to send me back to the village and leave on my own. However, when we returned, we found that the village had been flattened by the army and was in ruins. After that, he took me to wander while healing, and after we got along for about a year, he began to slowly teach me some cultivation methods.
It was from that time that I embarked on the path of a cultivator step by step.
Your father was almost invincible at the time, and although my progress was slow, he taught me patiently. Moreover, after becoming a cultivator, my lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people, so I have a lot of time.
My strength grew stronger as I wandered with your father. As for your father's injury, his recovery was very slow, but as time went by, year after year, he slowly recovered to the existence that was almost invincible when he stepped out of the peak of the Sanctuary with half a foot. ”
Hearing this, the worry in Wuqi's eyes suddenly disappeared, Julia also subconsciously patted her chest, secretly relieved for Wuqi, Na Ke Lulu suddenly brightened her eyes, and subconsciously asked: "So, the slug's father is still alive? Where did he go after? Why didn't he stay with you?"
Perrault looked at Na Ke Lulu expressionlessly and did not answer, but a slight anger suddenly flashed in his eyes, but his gaze finally fell back on Wuqi, and said lightly: "Originally, after your father regained his strength, he could walk sideways no matter where he was, and there was no need to continue wandering at all." However, on the day after he regained his strength, he didn't know what Lu Dao was, and he seemed to have begun to change. ”
"Changed?" asked Wu Qi for some reason.
"Yes. Perrault nodded, a confused look in his eyes immediately, and continued: "At that time, I was just feeling. At that time, my strength had already cultivated to the level of the first level of the Holy Domain, and I had spent more than 4,000 years with your father, so I thought I knew your father very well.
Your father has a peaceful personality, he never looked down on me because of the concept of any class, nor did he look down on me, but as if he was really my master, after I failed to hit the bottleneck many times, he would encourage me again and again, telling me not to give up and continue to work hard.
So after more than 4,000 years of getting along, our relationship has always been very good. However, that day, when he regained all his strength, he seemed to have become abnormal. Yes, it's not normal.
I remember very well that at that time, every now and then, he would suddenly say, 'Get out of here.' Or, 'Get out of me.'" That's not in line with his character. It wasn't until one night when I inadvertently saw him talking to himself under the moon, talking nonsense to the air, that I realized that he seemed to have a disease called schizophrenia. ”
As soon as these words came out, the minds of Wuqi and the others suddenly seemed to be directly hit by a lightning bolt falling from the sky, and their bodies trembled involuntarily again.
"You've already reached that level of strength, and you're still sick?" Eventually, Balk couldn't control the shock in his heart and asked in a lost voice. The others nodded in agreement and remained silent.
"I can understand your feelings. Seeing this, Perrault suddenly showed an undisguised wry smile on his face, and said: "I thought I was wrong. Who knows, since then, your father's situation has become more and more similar to the schizophrenia described in the ordinary world world.
At first, he had a better seizure, just once or twice a week, but as the days passed, it became a seizure once a day. And every time you have a seizure, your father's appearance is extremely terrifying, and his very good temper will suddenly become very irritable, and his originally gentle gaze will suddenly become very vicious, as if he had become a different person altogether. ,
Luckily, it didn't take long for him to get sick, and it didn't take long for your father to revert to his old personality. But what I feared most happened again. After he had an illness, he didn't quickly return to his original character, and that vicious and hideous appearance lasted for three days and three nights.
On the fourth day, when I thought he would never recover, he miraculously got better. It's just that I saw with my own eyes that in order to restore himself to normal, he abandoned his strength, beat himself to a serious injury, and let his strength fall to the realm of a master again, so that the disease finally improved significantly.
In the days that followed, the duration of his illness finally became shorter and shorter, and the intervals became longer and longer, which should have been celebrated. However, your father's self-defeat brought him a side effect that I could never have expected. He actually lost his memory. ”
"Amnesia?" "The first time I heard that cultivators would also have amnesia, his eyes lit up and he asked, but everyone could see that his eyes were more worried about his father than curiosity at the moment.
"Yes. Perrault nodded, smiled wryly, and continued: "At first, I thought it was very incredible, but it was so strange. But fortunately, your father has not lost all his memories, but after each episode, he forgets the specific circumstances of the day's illness.
But I don't know why he lost his memory and suddenly got this strange disease. But as long as he remembers who I am, will practice on time every day, never forget to heal, and slowly recover his strength, I will be relieved. For a long time after that, we were all very peaceful. It's been more than a thousand years.
However, the peace that lasted for more than a thousand years was completely shattered in a single day.
When your father's strength was restored to the point where he stepped out of the peak of the Sanctuary with half a foot, he actually fell ill again. And this time the illness was more serious than the previous ones combined, and it lasted a whole week before he recovered. However, after this episode, your father's situation is completely different from before, and he actually doesn't remember anything except the exercises he has mastered and the broken book in his hand.
He didn't even remember who I was, and it was naturally the result of his self-defeating efforts to regain his senses. Only after this time, your father didn't remember my relationship at all, so he didn't say a word to me at all, and left alone. ”
"That's how you separated?" Hearing this, Wuqi's heart suddenly couldn't help but sigh secretly, and asked, "Then where did my father go later?" Fat uncle, what are you doing in Jubaoshan?"
As soon as Wuqi's words landed, Perrault's eyes immediately showed anger, and he said, "This is exactly what I want to say next. Your father is suffering from this disease, and I certainly can't sit idly by. Although I have never formally apprenticed to a teacher, we have a master and apprentice after all.
And after so many years of getting along with him, I also have a deep friendship with your father. So, after I found your father, I began to visit famous doctors all over the world, whether it was a cultivator who cultivated medical skills or a famous doctor among ordinary people, I invited them to treat your father one by one.
However, although your father's illness was not cured, with the help of these famous doctors, his condition was brought under control again, and his spirit finally slowly returned to normal, and he no longer talked to himself, but he could not remember who I was, except for his name, exercises, and the broken book, he did not remember anything.
I've tried everything I can to get your father back to remember, but to no avail. It was at this time that I happened to hear a rumor that there was an extremely mysterious person living in a corner of the world, and it was said that the man was a very powerful thief, and that there were countless mysterious treasures hidden in his home.
I thought that maybe he would have some kind of elixir that only found in classical texts, and that your father might be useful if he ate it, so I went to inquire about it. But after inquiring, I found out that the person was too mysterious, and no one had ever known his name, only that he had a code name called Thousand-Faced Man that was circulated among the people. ”
It was only after talking about this that I finally got to the point, but none of the members of the adventure team who were the audience felt verbose, but everyone listened very attentively, and Wuqi's eyes became brighter than ever at this moment, looking at Perrault with anticipation, and asked, "Result?"
"Found it. Perrault nodded subconsciously, but a hint of self-deprecation flashed on his face in an instant, and he said: "However, I only found the damn old man of the Thousand Faces, and I didn't find those rumored treasures at all, let alone see any panacea."
He told me that all his treasures were left on the top of Jubao Mountain, and that there was an elixir that could restore people's memories and heal all injuries, so I came here. Where do I know Lu Dao, when I finally break through to the eighth floor alone, I know that Lu Dao has been fooled.
I wanted to go back, but I found that I couldn't. Suddenly, a voice from the sky was so majestic that it could not be resisted at all, and it said to me that I had disturbed his rest, and that I had to pay for it.
He demanded that I must guard the lower eight layers of Jubao Mountain for him for 5,000 years before I could leave. Of course I ignored it, but unexpectedly, the other party almost suffocated me at that time just by relying on his voice, and I had no choice but to compromise. Later, I met you. ”
Perrault's narration was finally finished, but there was a faint hint of horror in his eyes, as if until now, he was still very jealous of that voice, but Wuqi and the others didn't find it, but their eyes still showed an unconcealable horror because they heard such a shocking fact.
What!? Perrault is already so strong. There are even people who are stronger than him? He said that there are eight floors, how many floors are there? This treasure mountain is divided into two layers?
The people didn't dare to think about it anymore, it was terrible, it was too unexpected. Even the well-informed Balk had to forcibly put his curiosity behind at this time, but even if he didn't want to think about it anymore, his body still trembled involuntarily because of the fleeting shock in his mind.
This time, no one made any gasp for air, in fact, it was not that they didn't want to, but that everyone was numb. The shock brought to them by Jubaoshan this time was too much, too big, especially after Perrault appeared, it almost completely broke everyone's perception of this world.
If you want to calm down all the shocks in your heart one by one, of course, you can't just suppress the breath, it also takes time to accumulate, it's like if you ask a person to eat far more food than he eats in one go, and the result will only be so that he can't even speak. There is no other way than to digest it slowly.
In an instant, everyone was stunned and remained silent with great tacit understanding. But Wuqi suddenly thought of another question, so he quickly took three deep breaths, and spit them out one by one very slowly, and then subconsciously said: "Fat uncle, then your current deadline should have arrived, just go down the mountain with us."
You can continue to help me find my father, I've never seen him since I'm so old. Also, do you have the Staff of the Witch Stripe? I'm really only here for the Staff of the Witch Stripe, not the Medal of Honor for you. ”
"You mean that. When Perrault heard this, he suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is." I remember that rag very clearly, when I first met the Man with a Thousand Faces, he wanted to sell it to me, saying that he was short of money. Oh, I'll give you something.
You'll go down the mountain by yourself later. The appointed time has indeed arrived, but I'm working on a new trick now, and I'm at the end of the day, and when my new trick is completed, I'll go down the mountain. ”
After saying that, Perrault's right hand immediately swiped like lightning in front of Wuqi's eyes, and suddenly a small thing appeared on his palm. It was only the size of a thumb, and it looked like a character for "human" written upside down, but it was like a star, shining and shining, shining with silver light, and at a glance, it looked like a branch emitting silver light.
Seeing that the legendary staff of witch patterns was so small, Wu Qi's eyes suddenly showed a strange glow that he had never seen before.
