Chapter 43: The Demon of the Heart
The light gradually returned to Fang Yuan's eyes. The cold light from the roof hit him, but he felt a warm feeling on his body.
A cold and gentle force helped him up, and Fang Yuan realized that he was lying in the corner of the hospital corridor, and it was none other than Xiaobai who helped him up.
The two just glanced at each other, and before they could speak, Fang Yuan's mobile phone suddenly vibrate. It was an unfamiliar landline number, but Fang Yuan felt that this number made him feel extremely relieved, so he connected the phone.
"Fang Yuan, is it Fang Yuan? Hey...... Isn't it Fang Yuan?"
Xiao Man's anxious voice came from the other side of the phone, Fang Yuan coughed lightly, and said, "It's me, Master, what's wrong?"
Xiao Man's side seemed to let out a long breath, and said slightly angrily: "What's the matter with you? I couldn't get through after several phone calls before! I'm scared to death! I feel that you have opened Yangling Dao, are you in any danger?"
A warm current that had never existed before entered Fang Yuan's heart, and the scenes in the hotel and in Longshan before also drifted through his mind. Fang Yuan asked himself, except for his father, no one seemed to care about him as much as Xiaoman.
Fang Yuan, who was originally dedicated to utilitarianism and ambition to frost nothing, actually felt a little shaken in his heart, and said a little overwhelmed: "No...... No, I just want to test my limits, and the phone may not get through...... By the way, Master, how are you? Is the matter arranged by the First Master going well?"
Xiao Man's side seemed to be silent for a moment, and then said, "I...... It's okay. I'm calling you from outside, and I'm embarrassed to use someone's phone for too long!
It seems that things are not going well, otherwise he would never hide it with his Xiaoman's character. A wave of pity welled up in Fang Yuan's heart, but he only replied lightly: "Don't worry, Master, I'm fine." ”
Xiao Man still didn't seem to be at ease, and told Fang Yuan some things that Fang Yuan felt were insignificant but sounded very heartwarming before hanging up the phone.
As soon as the phone was broken, Xiao Bai, who was sitting on the side, looked at him and said, "When I came, I heard that the Xiu family was preparing a Taidou banquet, and I also invited a few major Xiu Zhen families, it is estimated that it will be hanging your master for a while." ”
Xiao Bai's words were like a knife piercing Fang Yuan's heart, and a wave of anger arose.
This feeling sometimes Fang Yuan himself felt inexplicable, obviously because of Shuang Wucai to get close to Xiaoman, why was he so uncomfortable when he knew that she might be bullied?
"What is that?"
"You can simply understand it as a show-off competition between cultivators, usually used to make a name for the younger generations. ”
"Young juniors?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, Xiao Bai looked at him and asked, "Your inner demon has appeared?"
"Heart Demon?" Fang Yuan said incomprehensibly.
Xiao Bai was also surprised by his reaction, and said, "It's strange, although you have the power of sacrificial cultivation, you don't seem to know anything about the cultivation path. ”
Seeing that Fang Yuan was silent, Xiao Bai continued: "What do you think the so-called cultivation is? is it immortality, is it good and evil, or is it exploring the Heavenly Dao? Cultivating truth is nothing more than the ultimate pursuit of strength, and the yearning for shaking the world and seeing the world. ”
Then, Xiaobai's words changed sharply and said: "The pursuit of power is the original form of desire. The closer one gets to the powerful power, the easier it is to lose oneself, and the easier it is for one's mind to fall into one's greatest flaws. This is the demon of the heart. ”
Xiaobai smiled rarely, but he laughed so bleakly. Although it was a smile, it looked more like a withered flower.
"The world has never been unfair. Why is it that human beings are born with spiritual intelligence, while we aliens can only rely on instinct and chance? Why do we also use spiritual energy, but we are called sideways? Why is it that it is natural for us to harm human beings, and why is it natural for human beings to hurt us?"
"So...... My demons are jealousy and hatred. ”
Fang Yuan let out a sigh of relief, Xiao Bai's explanation of Xiuzhen was different from the novels or movies he usually saw, but relatively speaking, it was more realistic.
"I don't know what the situation is, but all of a sudden, it's like this, and the whole person seems to be in a nightmare. ”
Xiao Bai nodded Fang Yuan's hand and said, "You have a small amount of strange poison on your hands-'Heavenly Yin Returns to Void Seed'." This thing is very domineering, and it only takes a little bit to induce demons in the heart. If it is too much, it will dissolve the aura in the cultivator's body and expel it from the body in the form of a kind of putrid mucus, and then directly erode the person to death. ”
"Rotten mucus, erosion to death, is Zhang Zhiyi ......?"
Xiaobai understood what he meant, so he nodded and said, "She didn't have any disease, but like you, she fell into the heavenly yin and returned to the void seed." ”
"The Zhang family is the first Xiuzhen family in the Northeast, who dares to poison her, who would have such courage?"
"Corpse Demon Dao. Xiao Bai didn't want to think about it, "The Heavenly Yin Returning Void Seed is a strange poison unique to the Corpse Demon Dao, and outsiders generally have no way of knowing the refining method, and no one knows how this poison is used." ”
"Corpse Demon Dao again?" Fang Yuan smiled a little helplessly, "Although I have this sacrificial power, what can I do? After all, I'm just a novice in cultivation. Just now, You Dachuan almost didn't kill me, if I really ran into a master of the Corpse Demon Dao, I guess I wouldn't even have a chance to escape. ”
Xiao Bai glanced at Fang Yuan lightly and said, "Have you ever seen an animal fight?"
Seeing that Fang Yuan shook his head, Xiao Bai continued: "In the war between animals, many times the victory or defeat is already known before the action is made, and that is through momentum. If you are already scared before the battle has even begun, how can you have a chance to win?"
Xiao Bai's words were like a thunderbolt that hit Fang Yuan's heart. Slowly raising his right hand, Fang Yuan looked at the palm prints that were like knife carvings.
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, he probably guessed that his inner demon should be fear!
The fear that lurked deep in his heart was not eliminated by his strength, it was only hidden deeper. But this kind of concealment cannot withstand the slightest snooping, it is like a flood that keeps beating at the dam, and once it seizes the slightest opportunity, it will burst and pour down in an instant.
Fang Yuanden clenched his fists, his finger bones and flesh tightened together, and there was a "gurgling" sound. His nails dug deep into the flesh, and the bright red blood "ticked" and fell on the smooth floor tiles of the hallway.
Weakness is a man's real sin.
For the twenty-nine years he had lived, he had been dragged down by the weakness of his heart, and since God had given him the opportunity to do it again, he must not repeat the same mistakes again!
With a "bang", Fang Yuan punched a hole in the floor tiles of the corridor, and muttered in his mouth: "God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and punishes Buddha!"
Back in the lounge, Fang Yuan found that Qiu Dayou's thing was actually asleep, and a breath suddenly rose in his chest.
Xiaobai explained: "It's me, in order to avoid trouble, so that I can check on her situation quietly." ”
"Then how is her situation now?" Fang Yuan asked.
Xiao Bai shook his head slightly and said, "It's not good, you have to find a cure quickly." ”
Fang Yuan said puzzledly: "But after the doctor's prescription, her state is indeed a lot more stable?"
"That's nature. Xiao Bai said, "The liquid in this bottle is mixed with a sedative, and its dosage is large enough to make ordinary mortals sleep to death directly. ”
"Sedative?" Fang Yuan only felt his brain buzz, according to Xiaobai, if it weren't for Zhang Zhiyi's cultivation skills, I am afraid that the person would have passed by now.
"I'm going to go to the doctor who prescribed the medicine!"
The doctor on duty in the emergency department was playing a small computer game there, and when he heard the sound of the door, Fang Yuan rushed in violently, and grabbed the collar of his white coat and picked him up.
"Who the are you? Why are you prescribing my friend a large dose of sedatives? Didn't you say she had acute gastroenteritis?"
The doctor seemed to be frightened by the sudden violent physical contact, and it took him a long time to react, mistakenly thinking that Fang Yuan was a family member of a patient who was making trouble, so he said, "This family member, I advise you to calm down first." It's illegal to make a medical fuss, and if you don't let go, I'll have to call the security guard!"
Fang Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Medical trouble, let me ask you again, why did you add a large dose of sedative to my friend's drip! I tell you responsibly, if you can't explain it clearly today, my methods will definitely be much more terrifying than the medical trouble!"
"Sedatives?" said the doctor on duty, puzzled, "what sedatives? Where do we get the sedatives here? Isn't that a medicine that only neurologists use?"
"How dare you lie......"
Xiao Bai patted him lightly from behind Fang Yuan and said in a low voice, "He didn't lie, it's true." ”
Turning his head and glancing at Xiao Bai, Fang Yuancai threw the doctor on duty back with a little unwillingness. The doctor didn't seem to know what was going on from beginning to end, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he muttered a few words to vent his dissatisfaction.
Fang Yuan walked out of the office, suddenly remembered a place to go, and said to Xiao Bai: "If it wasn't for the hands and feet here, then I probably knew who it was." I'll go and arrest him back, and you go back and help me take good care of Zhang Zhiyi. She's very important to me, don't let anything go wrong!"
Entering the inpatient room, Fang Yuan glanced into the security room, and the security guard in charge of night duty was already snoring. Fang Yuan was also happy to be idle, so he walked straight to the door of the doctor on duty and knocked lightly.
There was no answer in the office, Fang Yuan increased his strength and knocked a few more times, but there was still no answer in it.
Shaking the doorknob in his hand a few times, Fang Yuan found that the door was locked. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, and without being verbose, he took two steps back, rushed up and kicked the door open.
A loud "bang" sound wandered slowly in the empty hospital corridor, and it could not be calmed down for a long time. Fang Yuan thought that this move would inevitably startle the security guards, but he didn't want these guys to sleep really soundly one by one, and none of them woke up with such a big movement.
It was a good thing for Fang Yuan that they didn't wake up, but he was more sad that the doctor on duty before was no longer on duty in the office at the moment.
At this point in time, maybe it was to go to the late night snack or go to the toilet, so Fang Yuan sat in the office, planning to wait for the rabbit.
As soon as he sat down, a piece of paper pinned to the bookshelf on the table caught his attention.
Fang Yuan followed a small corner and carefully pulled out the piece of paper little by little. There was a strange pattern drawn on the piece of paper, but this pattern Fang Yuan felt very familiar, where had he seen it?
