Chapter 23: The Old Man Comes from Far Away (2)
The butterfly fairy was a little apprehensive and couldn't help grabbing the corner of her clothes with her hand.
"Qingyue, let's talk about it. Lingxi asked, "What happened?"
The butterfly fairy recounted the story from beginning to end. Including the initial plan, the sudden change, the extra nine-striped python, Su Mu who shouldn't have appeared, Su Mu wielding a sword and cutting a snake, and so on. There is no evasion of the important and no shirking of responsibility.
After hearing this, Lingxi held his chin with his hand and frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Then he looked up at Master Wang, who also shook his head.
"You mean that Mu'er unleashed a few sword qi of Qi Void Realm strength when her meridians were completely destroyed, and her true qi was completely gone?" "Is it possible to do this kind of thing, he doesn't have true qi in his body, where does that true qi come from?"
"I don't know, just now when I diagnosed Mu'er, I confirmed it again, the meridians are still a mess of loose sand, and there is no trace of true qi. Butterfly Fairy added.
"Have you ever heard of a sword technique that doesn't use your true qi?" Lingxi asked Master Wang.
"As far as I know, Tu Nanguo, no. "Master Wang is sure to be authentic.
In other words, it can't be a sword move that Mu'er learned by herself. And this gave rise to a question," Lingxi said, "whether it was Su Mu's own trick, or whether something attached to him was the trick." ”
"Possessed?" Butterfly Fairy was surprised, "but I didn't diagnose any foreign body in Mu'er's body at all." ”
"If it weren't for the flesh, it might be here. Lingxi pointed to the head of the butterfly fairy and said. "Master Wang also knows that there are many alien races in the Western Regions, and there are many tribes that study soul evil arts, if there is such a hidden danger in Mu'er's body, then he must pay great attention. ”
"Alien race in the Western Regions?" the butterfly fairy was startled, bringing back some memories that she didn't want to recall.
"What do you think, Master Wang?" asked Lingxi.
"Miss, I think it's hard to explain this strange phenomenon on Young Master Su Mu, but it shouldn't be like the work of a foreign race in the Western Regions. Wang Shi said solemnly.
"Why?"
"It was I who sent the young master to the Cold Mountain Sword Sect in the first place, and I have been secretly observing since then, the young master has never set foot outside the Sword Sect over the years. Although there are many evil arts in the Western Regions, if their whereabouts are revealed in the Tunan Kingdom, it is absolutely impossible for me and my spies to go unnoticed. In addition, although the young master was seriously injured, he could feel the clarity and purity of his spirit when he rescued him in the spring, not like he was being manipulated by others. And ......"
"Go on. ”
"Moreover, if someone controls a ten-year-old child who has no true qi at all, and can also slash out a sword qi comparable to that of a powerhouse in the Qi Void Realm, then this person's cultivation is too shocking. Wang Shi explained.
"How is it better than you?" Lingxi asked, after a moment's thought.
"I'm far worse. Wang Shi replied.
The Spirit Rhino and the Butterfly Immortal were silent, of course they knew the strength of the Wang Master. Even the people who are invincible to the king's division, there are only a handful of people in the entire Tunan.
"It seems that this matter is not something that can be investigated at this time. Qingyue, what do you think of this kid after you and Mu'er get along for a while?" Lingxi suddenly changed the subject.
"Talented, tenacious, and upright. Butterfly Fairy said sincerely.
"Nothing out of the ordinary?"
"Probably not. The butterfly fairy thought about it and gave a negative answer.
"Then let's wait and see for a while. Where is the talisman jade that I asked Master Wang to give you before?"
"Oh, in my own room. With that, the butterfly fairy immediately ran into the house, and after a while, she came back with the spirit rhino's talisman jade and handed it to the spirit rhino.
Lingxi took the talisman jade, and his eyes became much gentler again. Then he put it directly around his neck and submerged it in his clothes.
The butterfly fairy and Wang Shi, who rarely saw the expression of Lingxi, were also stunned.
Lingxi felt the gaze of the two and reacted, and Zhengse continued, "Mu'er's current situation, it shouldn't be able to reshape the meridians for a while. ”
"Hey," the butterfly fairy also sighed, "although there are no fatal injuries, this wave of injuries is extremely slow to cultivate, especially since the child's body and bones are already fragile, if he does not completely recover his health, there may be hidden dangers when reshaping the meridians." ”
"Then what should I do with the snake tendons of this nine-patterned python and the six-flowered python?" Wang Shi suddenly asked, "The six-flowered python is okay, the snake tendons of this good nine-patterned python are rare in a hundred years, and the effect of using this to reshape the meridians should be the best." ”
It is indeed caught between a rock and a hard place. If you reshape the meridians for Su Mu, who is seriously injured, there is a considerable risk of failure, but if you miss these two days, then the snake tendons of this nine-striped python will undoubtedly lose its best opportunity for toughness.
Lingxi listened and groaned for a while, and finally spoke.
"Let's go and see how Mu'er is doing. ”
Lingxi and Butterfly Fairy returned to the house where Su Mu was, and at this time, Ning Ning was still guarding Su Mu's bedside, staring directly at Su Mu with her eyes.
I almost forgot that this little girl was here.
"Who is this little girl?" Lingxi asked, she only knew that Ning Ning and Liyuan were treated at the Butterfly Fairy, and she didn't know the specific situation.
The butterfly fairy briefly explained the situation to Lingxi, and Lingxi's eyes gradually widened as she listened.
"Born cold?" Lingxi asked, and the butterfly fairy nodded, detailing Ning Ning's symptoms when she became ill.
"It's not a disease at all, it's clearly a ......" Lingxi's words came to his mouth, but he still swallowed it, making the butterfly fairy on the side very uncomfortable, and Ning Ning, who heard the conversation between the two, also turned his head and looked at them suspiciously.
"What did you plan to do with this kid?" Lingxi asked after changing the subject.
"The fresh inner tank of the six-flowered python is used as a square, and the mirror water lotus, Ganoderma lucidum grass and ice clear leaves are added to reconcile the cold in the body. ”
"This is a novelty, but it won't save the little girl, it will only destroy her. Lingxi said.
"Actually, I also know that this little girl's physique is not a disease, but Tu Nanguo doesn't seem to have such a physique master or sect, otherwise I can inquire. The butterfly fairy replied.
Lingxi pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered a few words to Ning Ning. Ning Ning looked at Lingxi in surprise when she heard this, wanting to confirm if Lingxi was joking.
Obviously, the seriousness on his face shows Lingxi's seriousness.
Ning Ning seemed to think about it for a while, and finally nodded and squeezed out a few words: "I want to tell my father." ”
"Go ahead. Lingxi watched her trot out the door.
"What did you say to her?" asked the Butterfly Fairy curiously.
"No, one of my former acquaintances happened to have a similar constitution, and I thought I might get some clues from there to stimulate this little girl's talent. Lingxi said.
"Oh, that's for the best. You're not going to let her father come along?"
"Nonsense, that place is so dangerous, how can you bring another oil bottle?"
"And how do you ask this little girl?"
I asked her if she wanted to protect her father, if she wanted to protect Su Mu, instead of becoming a burden to them. Lingxi said lightly.
The atmosphere was silent for a while.
"Also, this recipe just now was not what I thought, it was what Mu'er thought. After a while, the butterfly fairy spoke.
"Mu'er, he still knows medicine?" Lingxi was a little surprised.
"Yes, after two or three months of learning from me, I will be able to prescribe my own prescription, what a gifted genius, if it weren't for the fact that he is your child, I would have wanted to take him as an apprentice. The butterfly fairy said proudly.
"What are you talking about, my child, when did Mu'er become my child?" Lingxi wondered, confused.
"What!?Mu'er is not your child???
"I don't even have a husband, how can I have a child, what's going on in your head?" Lingxi was a little annoyed at this time, and his tone became heavy.
"I thought he was you and ......"
"Don't mention him!" Lingxi's tone fell directly to the freezing point, "or I'll tear your mouth apart." ”
The butterfly fairy quickly made a gesture of closing her mouth, not daring to continue talking.
Lingxi stepped forward and stood on the edge of Su Mu's bed, looking at Su Mu's delicate face, his eyes softened again, and his tone became calm, "Why, if Mu'er is not my child, you won't take it seriously?"
"Of course not, it's just that I'm always wrong. Butterfly Fairy explained.
"No, you're not mistaken. It's true that Mu'er is not my child, but he is the closest person in my world, and you can just treat him as my child. Lingxi Zhengse said, "So you have to put out 120,000 points of energy, and you must complete this vein shaping two days later." ”
"Two days later??" Butterfly Fairy was a little surprised, "But Mu'er is seriously injured, and the risk of reshaping the meridians at this time is too great, and there is a high probability that Mu'er may completely become a half-paralyzed waste." ”
"yes, so you have to be extra careful. Lingxi stared at the butterfly fairy and said, "In life, if you don't cultivate the Tao or have great opportunities, your lifespan will only be sixty or seventy years. Most people are ordinary, but Mu'er is obviously not. If the swords that slashed the nine-striped python in the valley were really issued by Mu'er's own strength, it is likely that there is a great opportunity in this child that we can't understand. ”
Lingxi squatted down, her cheek pressed against Su Mu's arm, and continued, "Such a child will not fall on a plastic vein. ”
"Spirit...... Since you value Mu'er so much like your own child, why do you dare to risk Mu'er's life?" Butterfly Fairy wondered.
Because if Mu'er doesn't have the strength, she won't even be able to protect the people she loves in the future, she won't even be able to reach the places she wants to go, and she won't even be satisfied with the life she wants to live. The events of these years have taught me a truth, whether it is rivers and lakes or temples, strength is the foundation of freedom. Lingxi replied very seriously.
As if remembering Lingxi's past, the butterfly fairy was silent for a while.
At this time, Ning Ning returned to the house, and the eyes that looked at her had obviously made up her mind.
Lingxi stood up, looked at Su Mu, then at Ning Ning, and then instructed the butterfly fairy, "Look at the pulse like Mu'er shouldn't be sober in the short term, let's start preparing in the next two days, and when Mu'er gets a little better, I will shape his pulse." As for this kid......"
Lingxi leaned down and patted Ning Ning's head, but Ning Ning was very well-behaved and did not express her resistance to this intimate action, but just stared at Lingxi with big eyes.
"What's your name, kid?" asked Lingxi.
"Ning Ning. The voice of the reply was hoarse, not like it came from a child.
"Ning Ning, have you made up your mind?"
"Hmm. ”
"If it succeeds, you have to remember our agreement. ”
"Hmm. Ning Ning nodded very hard.
Lingxi smiled, this was the first time that the butterfly fairy had seen Lingxi smile so brightly from the bottom of her heart since she saw Lingxi today.
