There was no difference between coming and going, and after nearly a month's trek, Qi Jian and Zhu Yan returned to Shuangzhou Town, the junction of Penglai Island and Nanganbuzhou---

Along the way, Zhu Yan paid attention to Qi Jian's physical condition all the time, but found that the evil qi seemed to have been completely suppressed by the power of the jade pendant, and there seemed to be no sign of another attack.

Zhu Yan's worries diminished day by day, and he also became more and more confident in Yu Pei's ability, believing that as long as Yu Pei did not leave Qi Jian's body, the evil qi would not be able to have any substantial impact on him.

However, neither of them noticed that the white light attached to the jade pendant was actually weakening day by day, and when it was just put on the body, the light was still quite bright, but at this time it had turned dim.

The pure white brilliance, which was closely related to Qi Jian's life, was finally defeated in the battle with the evil qi, and his strength was consumed unconsciously.

On the night when Qi Jian and Zhu Yan settled in the Shuangzhou Town Inn, when Qi Jian was changing his clothes, he found that the original flickering white light on the jade pendant had disappeared, and an ominous premonition suddenly enveloped his heart.

"The white light above the jade pendant should be the key to suppressing the evil qi, but now it has completely disappeared, could it be that the power within the jade pendant has been exhausted?" Qi Jian's fearful speculation turned into reality in the night.

The nightmare invaded Qi Jian's mind for the third time.

Exactly the same scene, exactly the same characters, exactly the same fierce blade and black light flow, and the final ending is the same, swallowed up in an endless sense of powerlessness.

What followed was a ferocious pain in his chest, constantly eroding Qi Jian's nerves, giving him this feeling that life was worse than death for the third time.

But the only difference between Qi Jian at this moment and the previous two times when he faced severe pain was that he had begun to get used to this kind of suffering. The two inhuman tortures made his spirit no longer fragile, and his ability to endure was qualitatively improved.

The sharp pain that would tear his heart no longer make him scream, and it was difficult for him to frown again, and although the cold sweat on his forehead still dripped down, compared to the previous two times, it was like the difference between a drop of water and a river.

The two experiences between life and death allowed him to transform, and his mind became more resilient and more powerful. Even this severe pain, which ordinary people could never endure, could not completely crush him at this time.

Qi Jian clearly knew that this evil qi still posed a serious threat to his life, even if he could bear the pain it caused now, if he could not get rid of it as soon as possible, its erosion of his internal organs would also kill him within a few days.

The reason why Qi Jian believed in his judgment was because he detected the extremely subtle damage in his heart when he was running his True Qi, and he tried to use his True Qi to repair it, but found that the wound had been covered by evil qi, and True Qi could not penetrate at all.

Under the threat of death, Qi Jian did not choose to call Zhu Yan for help. He knew that Zhu Yan's healing spell could only temporarily inhibit the spread of evil qi, not only did it treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but also the loss of spiritual power was extremely serious. Qi Jian would never watch his loved ones get hurt in order to prolong his life.

Qi Jian let the wound that could not heal continue to spread, feeling his life pass little by little, he did not regret it, but he could not accompany Zhu Yan for the rest of his life, which made him feel a little regretful.

The night passed, and the next day passed, he tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened, and walked out of the room with ease, but in fact, the sharp pain in his chest did not abate at all.

As usual, Qi Jian greeted Zhu Yan, who got up earlier than him, chatting without a word, almost perfectly hiding the pain on his body, if he just looked at his demeanor, movements and tone, he was no different from his usual state.

But Qi Jian's face betrayed him, and there was no copper in the room of the inn

mirror, and as a big man, Qi Jian has never had the habit of looking in the mirror. This made him not have a correct understanding of his face at the moment.

"Brother Qi, why is your face so bad?

Qi Jian's heart froze, and he immediately interrupted Zhu Yan's words, scratched his head slightly, and said, "Where do you want to go?" Actually, it's a shame to say it, the first episode of this evil qi in me was here, so it left a little shadow in my heart, I didn't sleep well all night last night, and of course my face will be worse today. ”

Zhu Yan was skeptical of Qi Jian's statement, and still asked tentatively, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Qi Jian still smiled and said in an energetic tone: "Xiao Yan, I'm in good health, you don't have to worry." If there's something wrong with my body, I'll be the first to tell you. ”

Zhu Yan saw that his expression and tone didn't look like he was lying, so he didn't ask any more. The two returned to the room, walked out of the inn, rode on the white horse "Feixue", and prepared to leave Shuangzhou Town and enter the boundary of Penglai Island.

Just as he was about to ride his horse forward, a man in a red robe suddenly walked up.

I saw that he was wearing a hat on his head, a strange fox mask on his face, and a long wooden staff hanging on it.

The long canvas is written with six big characters of "the world's first divine doctor", the pen is majestic and atmospheric, and the handwriting is neat, which seems to be mentioned by everyone in calligraphy.

Seeing these six big characters, Qi Jian's heart moved, and he said: "The number one divine doctor in the world, I don't know if he has a way to expel the evil qi in my body, so that I will not be harmed from it from now on." ”

At the moment when Qi Jian fell into deep thought, the red-robed guest had already come to him, looked him up and down carefully, and then shook his head as if he was deeply regretful.

The moment Zhu Yan saw the red-robed man, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu. The fox mask he wore on his face also felt familiar to her, as if she had seen him somewhere in her hometown, but at the moment she couldn't remember who he really was.

"I don't know your Excellency's name, what do you do?" asked Zhu Yan on behalf of Qi Jian.

"I'm Langzhong, who travels around, and I found that this little brother seems to have a difficult disease, so I came to take a look, after all, the doctor is benevolent. ”

Hearing the words of the red-robed guest, Qi Jian secretly said in his heart, and when he looked back at Zhu Yan, he found that her complexion had changed greatly, and he was anxiously checking his body with spiritual power.

After a while, Zhu Yan's eyes were red, tears kept rolling around his eyes, and he lost his voice: "Brother Qi, why are you lying to me? Has the evil qi in your body started to attack again since last night? Now the evil qi has covered your entire heart, even me..., if you could have told me earlier..."

Qi Jian interrupted Zhu Yan's intermittent words due to crying, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Xiao Yan, you listen to me. Even if you heal me with spiritual power from the beginning of the attack, it will not be possible to completely dissipate the evil energy. Blindly spending spiritual power will only make you run out of oil and dry up, do you want to go to Huangquan with me?"

"Why can't I fight for my life, I have to save you back, and it's a big deal to die together. Zhu Yan shouted hysterically.

"Impossible is impossible, you don't want to be delusional anymore. I would never let the woman I love risk it for me. Qi Jian didn't pay attention to Zhu Yan's thoughts or wishes at this time, and expressed his attitude categorically.

Zhu Yan's heart was as painful as if it was torn, as if the evil qi had returned to his body again, even more uncomfortable than that feeling. Tears blurred her vision, making her barely able to see the face of the lover in front of her.

"Brother Qi, why are you so stupid. ”

Zhu Yan to Qi Jian's

There is only this one sentence left in the evaluation, and she can no longer describe any other emotions she wants to express.

"You've been with me for so long, don't you know? Xiao Yan, I've never been a smart person, stubborn and stupid, being liked by you is a blessing I've cultivated in my life. But if I have you, I know I don't have the qualifications yet. ”

"If you don't have the qualifications, then the rest of the world is even less likely to have. Zhu Yan tried his best to change Qi Jian's opinion.

The red-robed guest couldn't stand it anymore at this time, so he began to interject.

"Don't be in a hurry to say goodbye to life and death, crying and crying, it's uncomfortable to look at, and listen to me first. I have a way to cure this little brother's symptoms, but the chance of success is not very high, only 50%. If he succeeds, the evil qi in his body will be expelled forever and will never recur. But if it fails, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my little brother to leave my hospital alive. I wonder if the two of you are willing to believe in the medical skills below and give it a go?"

Qi Jian's face bloomed with joy when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "How much does the divine doctor need?" ”

The red-robed guest said with a smile: "The doctor hangs the pot to help the world, and the amount of remuneration depends on the patient's willingness." And this is the first time I've seen your disease, so naturally I have to study it. You heal, I study, both parties will get benefits, mutual benefit, if you want to be rewarded, it is no different from those quacks who are deceived and abducted. ”

Qi Jian turned over and dismounted, bowed deeply to the red-robed guest, and said respectfully: "Under Qi Jian, thank you for the generous rescue of the divine doctor." If the divine doctor can expel the evil qi from my body, I will be grateful for the great kindness of the divine doctor forever, and thank him with a hundred taels of silver. ”

"It's okay to be grateful for kindness, but I can't afford the hundred taels of silver, if you have to give a reward, ten taels is enough, which is a lot of money in the treatment of terminal diseases. ”

"It's all up to the divine doctor to decide, ten taels for ten taels. Qi Jian looked humble and did not insist on his opinion.

"Then come with me. With that, the red-robed guest took Qi Jian and Zhu Yan all the way forward and came to the end of this bustling street.

On the right hand side is a medical hall, with a plaque above it, and the book has three big characters "Ji Shixuan", which is quite similar to the long one in the hand of the red-robed guest.

Qi Jian couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "The words on this plaque and on the banner are all from the hand of the divine doctor?"

"Yes, my handwriting is quite sloppy, and it makes you laugh. The red-robed guest said humbly.

"What the divine doctor said has tormented me. If your handwriting is scribbled, then my handwriting may not be called a handwriting. ”

There were wooden stakes and ropes for tethering horses next to the medical hall, and Zhu Yan jumped off the horse at this time to help Qi Jian temporarily tie the "flying snow" to the wooden stake.

Qi Jian fiddled with the rope and asked the red-robed guest, "This medical hall is opened by the divine doctor himself, and this building seems to be some years old." ”

"My little brother guessed right, I opened this medical hall forty years ago, and then I let my apprentice manage it, and I went to travel all over the world. I don't want to revisit my hometown after 40 years and meet you, a patient with a strange disease, which proves that you and I have a good fate, and it seems that you still have a great chance of being cured by me. ”

"By the words of the divine doctor. ”

"The space in the hospital is relatively small, and it is only used to receive patients, so this girl still waits outside for a while. Come in with me, little brother. Seeing that Qi Jian had already tied the horse, the red-robed guest spoke.

Before following the red-robed guest into the medical hall, Qi Jian came to Zhu Yan's side and said softly: "Xiao Yan, wait for me outside, I believe that with the ability of this divine doctor, he will definitely be able to expel the evil qi in my body." When the time comes, we will go back to Shangwutang to get married, and we will never be separated, okay?"
