Chapter 88: The Scourge of the Silver Needle
The rain god seems to be too diligent, it rained for two days in a row, and it never stopped for half a day, plus the cool breeze swished, the fog was thick, and the weather was cold and damp.
Covered with deep injuries and old diseases, Xuanyuan has been fighting for hundreds of thousands of years, the price he paid, his left leg bone was shattered, although he tried his best to save it with mana, but in the end it was left, and it hurt when it was cold and wet.
Xiao Wu stood in front of the window, staring at the fine rain and worried, worried about the old injury on the master's leg, afraid that he would make it again.
After more than a month of recuperation, Xiao Wu's body has recovered well, and she feels that it is time to try the hot soup method for treating leg pain specially found by the master, this method needs to last for nine hundred and eighty-one days, once it starts, it cannot be interrupted, she needs to pre-set the start time with the master.
Xiao Wu came to Xuanyuan's door with a cup of hot ginger tea and shouted, "Master, can the apprentice come in?"
"Come in"
With permission, Xiao Wu took the hot ginger tea and walked straight in, and saw that the master and the prince Qingtian were playing chess, and Buyan was kneeling and kneeling to put moxibustion needles on the master's legs.
Seeing that the master had more than a dozen silver needles densely tied on his legs, Xiao Wu's face turned pale, his hands shook, and a lot of hot ginger tea spilled.
Xiao Wu couldn't hide her panic and saluted her master and Qingtian.
Both Xuanyuan and Qingtian noticed that Xiao Wu saw the reaction of the silver needle, and Xuanyuan felt that it was time to help her overcome this heart disease, and asked, "Qing'er, is there something?"
Xiao Wu's heart was nervous, her tongue was stiff, and her words were slurred, "Oh, no...... It's okay, it's cold, give ...... Master...... Send a cup of hot ginger tea".
"Okay, let's put it down."
Seeing that the ground collapsed in front of the case, dozens of bright silver needles were neatly inserted in a cloth bag, Xiao Wu felt that her heart was about to jump to her throat, and she trembled several times, but she didn't dare to approach the case, and she was afraid that the master would blame her, and her embarrassed face turned red.
"Senior sister?!"
Bu Zhan forcibly resisted the thief's laughter and reminded, and while he was taking the needle, he pulled the small cloth bag to a more obvious place outside.
Under the candlelight, the bright silver needles, like a life-seeking talisman scared Xiao Wu's guts, she only felt sweaty, dizzy, waist and legs numb, trembling hands driving the cup in her hand to sway.
Xiao Wu didn't want to make the master lose face in front of the prince Qingtian, and he didn't want to make him angry.
The legs trembled so badly, Xiao Wu simply knelt on the ground, bowed her head deeply, closed her eyes, knelt and crawled forward, big drops of cold sweat came out of her forehead, and "let's da" dripped onto the stone floor.
In the end, Xiao Wu put the hot ginger tea on the table with both hands, her hands trembled too much, and she spilled a lot, she had no time to take care of it, and hurriedly stepped back, her mouth was vague, "Master, apprentice retire", without waiting for a reply, Xiao Wu turned around and was about to leave.
"Senior sister, the tea has been spilled, come and wipe it"
The voice of schadenfreude sounded behind Xiao Wu, he wanted to take revenge on Xiao Wu, who let her refute her face in front of all the senior brothers today.
Xiao Wu really didn't dare to get close to the case, and froze in place, with a tangled face.
On weekdays, Xiao Wu, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is afraid of small silver needles, which makes Qingtian is shocked and incredible, and he asked with a puzzled face: "Are you afraid of silver needles?"
Xiao Wu's face turned white and red for a while, glanced at Xuanyuan timidly, and replied weakly, "Yes!"
Xuan Yuan's face sank like water, and he interjected: "That...... What's the use of you learning martial arts?"
Hearing the master's question, Xiao Wu panicked, and hurriedly knelt on her knees, as if she had done something wrong, and lowered her head without squeaking.
Xiao Wu began to think crankily, "Does the master dislike himself?" Originally, the master did not accept female apprentices, but he accepted himself before, perhaps because he saw the prince's face, and the prince was willing to help him, but he felt guilty. Or maybe the master just sympathized with his own experience, but found that he was really unbearable and regretted it?".
Seeing that Xiao Wu didn't reply, Xuanyuan looked at her for a long time with a dark face, and finally said coldly: "A person who practices martial arts, but he is afraid of a small silver needle, is this ...... Not a joke?".
Xiao Wu listened, afraid that the master would misunderstand, and felt that she couldn't stop talking, so she hurriedly explained: "Master, apprentice, except for the fear of silver needles, I am not afraid of anything."
Qingtian consciously understood Xiao Wu and knew that she was indeed bold enough, so he curiously interjected and asked, "What about the embroidery needle?"
"Don't be afraid"
After Xiao Wu answered Qingtian's question, she looked at Xuan Yuan again and added, "Master, the apprentice will never dare to deceive the master, the apprentice is really ...... I'm afraid of the silver needle".
"If you fight on the battlefield one day, as long as the enemy holds a silver needle, you will be frightened to lose your armor and flee in embarrassment...... What's the point? To learn or not to learn...... What's the difference?".
Xuanyuan finally threw the question out, and the implication was that it was useless for him to teach this apprentice.
"Master! I ......"
Xiao Wu shouted with a crying voice, but she was speechless, she was afraid that the master would dislike her, and she also felt sad and afraid, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Afraid of silver needles, it is a heartfelt, uncontrollable fear, and she has nothing to do about it.
Thinking about the little apprentice, the deer saliva holy blood that caused trouble, if she didn't take this step, she would not be able to face all kinds of dangers in the future, thinking of this, Xuanyuan's heart fell again.
"In this way, give you time for the teacher, and you should think about it, all the homework...... You don't have to go on it again."
After Xuanyuan finished speaking, he turned to Qingtian again and continued: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, she ...... It's obviously not suitable here, and if there's a suitable one outside, ask the prince for help...... Find her a place to settle down, after all, it's a master-apprentice game."
Qingtian is such a shrewd person, he immediately understood the meaning of Xuanyuan's words, and knew that he was forcing Xiao Wu, but would this kind of forcing method be too violent?
Qingtian felt distressed for a while, but he still cooperated with the acting, and replied worriedly, "Okay".
"Master!"
This is the rhythm of forcing her out of the school, Xiao Wu remembered all kinds of sadness, and she was already in tears, but what the master said was not unreasonable, she was afraid of silver needles, and there was no difference between learning martial arts and not learning martial arts.
Seeing the desperate and painful expression on the little apprentice's face, Xuanyuan had a look of emotion on his face, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "The deity doesn't like tears the most, I don't know what tears are for?
Xiao Wu didn't dare to cry anymore, she raised her eyes to look at the master, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she could see that she was holding back, her lips trembled, and the sound of "clicking" her teeth was clasping, revealing the extreme pain in her heart.
"Master, give more to the apprentices, some ...... Time, okay?".
Xuanyuan waited for this sentence, looked at the little apprentice in front of him seriously, for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "That's certain, the teacher will give it to you...... Plenty of time, after all...... This is ...... It's not easy".
Xuanyuan bit the word "enough" very hard, he knew that under the weak appearance of the little apprentice, he was a fierce and irritable character, and he was also afraid of any accidents.
Xuanyuan knows that overcoming the silver needle can only rely on the little apprentice himself, overcoming the inner demon is by no means a matter of morning and night, the little apprentice's thinking jumps, often does not play cards according to common sense, there are seven highnesses behind her, Zi Xiao and the Medicine Master's Mansion, it is not really possible for her to find a way to win. But no matter what, it will be a physical and mental torture, Xuanyuan began to worry, can the little apprentice's fragile body hold up? He also regretted a little, did he say too much?
Love is deeply responsible, and Xuanyuan is also in a dilemma.
After listening to Xiao Wu, she slammed her head on the ground with a "bang", her head against the ground and her whole body twitched, she could see that she was crying silently, and after a while, she stood up with a "whew" and resolutely turned her head to leave, she didn't want the master to see the tears of sadness.
The eyes of the three of them all fell on Xiao Wu's back, and they all had distressed expressions on their faces.
Xuanyuan looked at the direction of the little apprentice Yulongqing's departure, his heart seemed to be hollowed out, turned his head, and asked Qingtian in a low voice: "Minister...... Isn't it...... Too anxious?".
Qingtian did not withdraw his gaze, although there was no more pretty figure there, and he replied quietly, "Poor thing!
The needle application was over, and he chased him out, he didn't want to see his sister sad, he wanted to explain, he was just joking, he didn't expect to cause her a lot of trouble.
Qingtian was in a state of confusion, knowing that Xuanyuan was doing the right thing, but he still complained a little, complaining that he was too cruel to Xiao Wu. For Xiao Wu, who has a strong self-esteem, what she said just now has a fatal lethal effect on her. Xiao Wu's injury is not all healed, and besides, how much can a woman learn, she knows that she likes Xiao Wu, and she also understands that he will not give in to his father, and sooner or later he will settle Xiao Wu for the rest of his life, so what are you doing so seriously?
Seeing Xiao Wu fight against the demons, she will definitely be hurt very badly, if there is any more accident?......。
Qingtian didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was distressed, he was distressed, he hated himself, he hated himself just now.
Seeing the prince Qingtian's gloomy face, with a look of chagrin and distress, Xuanyuan said embarrassedly, "The prince is complaining about the minister, and the apprentice is ...... That's too impersonal, isn't it?".
Joy and anger are the basic style of an emperor, and when he was seen in his heart, Qingtian still felt a little embarrassed, although he and Xuanyuan had tens of thousands of years of forgetfulness, but it was not good to interfere in the internal affairs of the Immortal Mansion, he coughed lightly twice, hiding his inner struggle.
"Oh, this is a matter between your master and apprentice, Benjun, how can you say that you have any grievances or not complaining......? If she is reckless, she will not do anything stupid?
Xuan Yuan let out a long sigh, rubbing a chess piece in his hand that had not been played for a long time, and said honestly, "Resentment should also be due, just thought of it, her special blood, she was upset, she was in a hurry, now that I think about it, I also regret it a little, and now I ...... You can only take one step at a time."
In many places, Qingtian still knows Xiao Wu very well, and has been together every night for a hundred years, although Xiao Wu is basically very obedient and obedient in front of him, but from her words and deeds, it can still be seen that she is very hard-minded, and she has an indomitable and stubborn and fierce temperament.
With a broken forehead, Xiao Wu returned to the Pomegranate Garden in despair.
Xiao Wu's appearance startled Cui'er, and quickly pulled her to sit at the table, found medicine, and asked while helping her apply it: "Little master, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I want to be quiet", Xiao Wu said listlessly, suddenly as if she remembered something, and said to Cui'er, who was full of doubts and distress, and took three steps three times, and ordered, "Cui'er, from today onwards, anyone who comes here will say that I am uncomfortable, and I will not see anything."
"Yes!".
Cui'er responded, left worriedly, and closed the door smoothly, she knew Xiao Wu's temperament, once she became serious, her words could not be violated.
As soon as Cui'er walked into the courtyard, she saw the fifth senior brother Buyan suddenly appear.
"Where's my sister?"
"In the house"
"I'm going to see her"
"Shangxian, the little lord said that she was tired and wanted to sleep, so please go back"
Cui'er stopped Bu Ran in front of her, seeing him staring at the door, his eyes full of guilt and worry, she concluded that the injury on Xiao Wu's forehead must be related to Bu Ran, Cui Er lowered her eyes and asked coldly, "Shang Xian, just now...... What the hell is going on?".
Bu Zhan didn't look at Cui'er, still looking straight at the door, guessing that the junior sister must be sad and sad, and her heart was even more guilty, and she said nonsense, "Master forced...... No, it's for my sister to ...... Overcome the Devil of the Silver Needle".
After hearing this, Cui'er suddenly became manic and shouted loudly to Buran, "Ah?...... How to overcome it? Born afraid, you say, How can you overcome it?
Cui'er knew that when Xiao Wu was in Da Jingyang Palace, she was already afraid of silver needles, as long as the witch doctor took out the acupuncture cloth bag, Xiao Wu, who had never loved to cry, would cry more than once, and she couldn't sleep well at night, so the second prince Mu Bai never let Xiao Wu stay by his side when the witch doctor gave him needles.
As soon as the day dawned, Xiao Wu called Cui'er and asked her to prepare 200 silver needles for acupuncture, and asked her to go to Zixiao to borrow some books on objectobiac and overcoming inner demons.
Cui'er understood that Xiao Wu was going to take action, although she was worried, but it was not easy to say anything else, so she decided to go to Zixiao to take care of it.
After listening to Cui'er's description, Zi Xiao took the silver needle and the books she could find, and came to the Pomegranate Garden with Cui'er.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was sitting under the pomegranate tree in a daze, Zi Xiao walked over and sat down, and asked with concern: "Xiao Wu, do you know what to do?"
Xiao Wu turned her head, her face was pale, she looked at Zi Xiao lonely and sluggishly, and slowly shook her head.
"Do you have to do it?"
Xiao Wu leaned her head on Zixiao's shoulder, and said desolately: "......Surely! Die!".
"Don't talk nonsense, there's a doctor there...... There will be a way."
Having said that, Zi Xiao didn't know what to do in his heart, Originally, he wanted to persuade Xiao Wu not to do useless work, but Xiao Wu's words just now couldn't be clearer. After so many years of getting along, when she was stubborn, he knew the best about the temper that the nine cows couldn't pull back, and the only thing he could do at present was to help her overcome her demons.
Overcoming the demons is too difficult, or rather, simply impossible. Zi Xiao understands that if you don't let Xiao Wu try it, let her understand for herself that there are always some things in the world that you can't cross no matter how hard you try, and only by experiencing it can Xiao Wu completely die.
asked Cui'er to sit down as well, Zixiao put her arm around Xiao Wu's shoulders and gave a brief explanation to the two.
"Objectobia is a mental disease, mostly caused by relevant stimuli when childhood, once the disease falls, it is difficult to cure, and it will accompany you for a lifetime. Although persuasion and medicine can help alleviate symptoms, they cannot solve the root cause.
Heart disease also needs heart medicine, if you can find the cause of the disease in the first place, and then, targeted counseling to help untie the knot, it is possible to overcome. In addition, there is an extreme method that is rarely used, which is to directly challenge the feared object through willpower and achieve reconciliation with the feared object. In short, it is easy to overcome the demons in the heart to get out of fear, and how easy is it to overcome the demons in the heart?".
Turning her head and seeing the cyan color under Xiao Wu's eyes, Zi Xiao knew that she must not have slept well, so she coaxed: "Xiao Wu, you go to sleep first, you can't sleep...... Just read the book first. In a moment, I will enter into your dreams and see if I can find the root of your illness.
