Chapter 9: The Death of the Son
I just feel that the bones all over my body are in sharp pain as if they are broken, am I still alive?
Xu Qingzhi didn't have any strength in his body, and he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes. In a daze, he heard as if someone was calling his name, but he couldn't hear clearly, it was his father, he tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't, his fingers trembled slightly, and he fell into a coma again.
"Imperial Doctor, look, Qingzhi seems to be about to wake up!" Seeing the movement of Xu Qingzhi's fingers, Xu Fenyang's eyes were red and he stood up suddenly.
The medical officer sighed, stepped forward to give the little prince a pulse, or shook his head, the prince was afraid that he was hallucinating because of overthinking, and none of the bones of His Royal Highness the Prince were intact, and it was already a miracle that he could survive, and it was impossible to move his fingers. But how to return to the palace later to restore his life to the angry majesty is really a headache, the medical officer thought while packing up the medicine box, with the injury suffered by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, even Da Luo Jinxian is alive and has no skills.
There are a lot of maids standing on the side who are secretly wiping their tears, although the little prince looks prodigal and frivolous on weekdays, but it is also a mouth, it is very good for the people, when a maid and miscellaneous servants are secretly knotted, according to the law, both of them are going to be exiled to the south of the miasma, the little prince personally led people to arrest, chased all day, and finally returned to Jing Zhaoyin empty-handed, saying that he was riding a horse really can't catch up, but no one knows that the little prince's mounts are the world's first-class horses.
It is already the fourth imperial doctor, after the housekeeper Lao Chen sent the medical officer out of the house, he sighed heavily, the prince grew up watching by himself, this flying disaster made the entire Jin Wangfu fall into silence, no one thought that the prince who gave the next people a reward this morning, and it became like this in the afternoon, everyone was worried, and passed by the prince's room intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to hear some good news.
When I entered the backyard, I saw the prince standing alone in the courtyard, the snow was a little heavy, and the snowflakes fell on his shoulders one by one, and his originally tall and majestic figure was slightly hunched at this moment. He is the undisputed first king in the court, and he is extremely honored, he is a generation of butchers in front of foreign people, and in front of the people he is the king of Jin who loves the people like a son, and at this moment he is a poor man, a father who may lose his child at any time.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, the dark clouds are stacked on top of each other, pressing the sky very low, so low that people can't breathe, and there is no trace of sunlight to see, the gloomy snowflakes are fluttering and there is nothing to rely on, and after a while, the courtyard is already white, Xu Fenyang felt a piercing cold at this moment. Xu Fenyang couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, a sense of powerlessness shrouded the king of Jin who dominated the world, even if he was invincible in the world and his achievements were brilliant in the annals of history, it seemed useless at this moment.
"Lord Wang, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house" Lao Chen looked a little unbearable.
"No need, you go into the house and watch Qingzhi for me, over the years, this king has been fighting from east to west, neglecting to accompany him, maybe he is closer to you in his heart. Xu Fenyang's eyes were slightly red, he didn't want others to see his appearance.
Lao Chen sighed, turned around and entered the house, creating evil, really evil, how did such a good person as the prince and the prince become like this.
Xu Qingzhi was still lying quietly on the bed, how could the little prince lie quietly for so long this time with his detached temperament, Lao Chen went up and tucked the quilt corner for him.
It's so dark here, Xu Qingzhi looked around blankly, could it be that this is the Nine Netherworld Mansion, is it really dead, my father should be sad. He sighed, he didn't know if the spell was working, and the old witch didn't know if it was life or death. By the way, what about the mirror? Even if you're dead, you still have to figure out something.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched it into his arms, and it was really empty. It's okay this time, it's a mess, and I don't even know why the witch wants to kill me. Xu Qingzhi sighed, suddenly felt bored in his heart, and shouted, "Is there anyone! Master, I don't have a ghost to lead the way when I'm dead!"
It seems to be extremely empty here, echoes come layer upon layer, and there is no response from others for a long time, what is this, I, Xu Qingzhi, have not become a lonely ghost? Standing here is not a way, although it is dark all around, Xu Qingzhi is still groping to find a way out, the touch under his feet is extremely real, like the mud that has just rained, he bent down, twisted some with his hand and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, there is a strange sour smell, and with a hint of grass. What is this, I didn't know why I smelled it for a long time, and I thought that I was dead anyway, and there was no need to restrain my hands, so I simply put down my heart and licked it with the tip of my tongue.
When I was savoring, I suddenly heard a child's voice, "Big brother, why do you want to eat horse manure?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Xu Qingzhi was frightened, and he stretched out his hand and shook it violently, "Cao Cangshu!" "Cangshu, is that you? Why is there horse manure here, and why can't I see anything?"
"Because this is the yin side of the too illusory realm, as long as there is something in the world, there will be it in the too illusory realm, and it is not strange to see anything here" Cang Shu tilted his head and thought for a while, "As for the yin side of the too illusory realm, this matter is also complicated, I will take you to find your father and let him tell you." Before he could speak, Xu Qingzhi felt a small hand grabbing his shirt, only to hear him snap his fingers, and there was already a bright light in front of him.
Cao Keqing, who was standing in the warm sun, looked at himself with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at a fat pig delivered to the door.
Xu Qingzhi felt a chill, and while secretly suspecting that all this was a game set up by this little Zhuangguan in order to blackmail him for gold and silver, he took the initiative to step forward and hold Cao Keqing's hand, "Master Cao Guan, you saved me again, I am grateful," he said and wiped it vigorously with his hand.
Cao Keqing was moved by the enthusiasm of the little prince, "Where, this is all within the scope of my Xiaozhuang view, but this cinnabar is still very difficult to buy, and it is a headache under it." ”
"One hundred taels of gold will be sent to your village immediately when I leave. Xu Qingzhi laughed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is too polite, but Cao is disrespectful. The two guests were happy and very harmonious, only Cang Shu looked at the hands held tightly by the two with a strange face, and felt a burst of disgust.
According to Cao Keqing's description, the fantasy realm is a boundless world, and there may be an entrance to any place in reality, when someone is seriously injured and dying or is seriously stimulated, it is easy to strayed into the illusion, which is also the reason why the scenes described by some dying people are extremely similar after being rescued. And Xu Qingzhi returned to the illusion realm by mistake this time, and the more times he entered the illusion, the easier it was to sense the entrance of the illusion, and the easier it was to be inexplicably involved. The yang side of the illusory realm is where the living will break in, and the yin side is the place where the dying will only break in.
"So, I'm actually a dying person?" Xu Qingzhi sighed.
"That's right, it's just that people who are dying on weekdays will be lost in the dark because of the darkness, and the body in reality has only a dead end because the soul has not returned to nature for a long time, and you were rescued by Cangshu, and I will send you back to Yang with my magical powers, and you have successfully escaped this death. Cao Keqing said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World takes such good care of our Xiaozhuang Guan, how can I watch you die here?" It's just that it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out." Cao Keqing looked like a master in the world, wearing a green coat and moving slightly in the wind, if the gold had not been taken away twice, Xu Qingzhi would have been impressed by this person's conversation at this moment.
"That's natural, I have to bother the Lord to send me back for a while, and I will send it back with a lot of money. Before leaving, Xu Qingzhi suddenly remembered another thing, "Master Cao Guan, have there been strangers in and out of this too illusory realm today?"
Cao Keqing pondered for a moment, "A few days ago, someone did enter this illusion, but this person's cultivation is extremely high, and he hides his own aura with magic, and this illusion is not my Xiaozhuangguan's private property, so I don't want to investigate anything, could it be that the prince knows this person?"
Xu Qingzhi nodded, "It's a bit of an intersection, can the viewer have a way to track down this person's whereabouts?"
Cao Keqing pinched his fingers, and then said, "This person has left here today, and as for where he is going, it is not clear below." ”
"If he comes here again in the future, I hope the Lord will inform me in time, there are some things between me and this person that need to be confronted face to face" Xu Qingzhi didn't want to tell Cao Keqing everything, whether it was to protect their father and son, or not to fully trust them, in short, this matter is still kept secret.
"When is the time for retribution, the son of the world must not do that indignant thing. Cao Keqing's face was light, Xu Qingzhi looked disgusted, "This is nature, then please ask the master to cast a spell and send me out." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say" Cao Keqing took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, pinched a sword trick, and sent Xu Qingzhi away.
Dizzy for a while, but with the experience of being too illusory last time, this time he was mentally prepared, "My head hurts" Xu Qingzhi found that he couldn't move up and down, and his mouth was so thirsty that he could only shout as loudly as possible in a hoarse voice, "Dad!"
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, the prince is awake!" Lao Chen was pouring water, and when he heard Xu Qingzhi's voice, he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about listening to what Xu Qingzhi said, so he hurriedly ran out of the house to report the good news to Xu Fenyang.
Xu Qingzhi was powerless to stop Lao Chen, who ran out, looked at his back and never looked back, stretched out his trembling hand, and said with difficulty, "Water, I want to drink water." ”
