Chapter 47: Six Tails (Chu Qing's Upgrade and Evolution)
The first rays of sunlight in the early morning fell on the jade shoot peak that reached into the sky independently.
The bamboo forest houses on the top of the peak, the stone paths, flowers and plants are covered with a layer of faint golden clothes. Everything is quiet, as if waiting for a solemn festival, or perhaps just waiting for an important beginning. The house built facing the sun, the carved window railings are simple and meticulous, and the house is surrounded by sparse bamboo forests, slender and soft, with verdant and green roots, silent and upright, as if listening to the conversation of the people in the house.
Chu Qing had been lying on the bed peacefully at this time, under the thick eyelashes, her slightly closed eyes were hidden, and in addition to the pain, she took a deep breath, as if she was missing the smell of this long-lost home, and as if she was glad that she could still smell everything familiar here.
Xiao Jiu took a stool and sat sideways against the head of the bed, his face full of worry, quietly watching Chu Qing's actions.
Granny Duan held the faucet cane in her hand, sat at the table, picked up a cup of tea, brought it to her mouth and took a sip lightly, and slowly put it down.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound, the door was pushed open, and the golden sunlight took the opportunity to shine in, and then a short and fat figure appeared on the bluestone floor. I saw the little fat bear bag struggling to carry a bowl of water, moving step by step, as if it took a lot of effort to walk into the room, and walked straight to Chu Qing's bedside slowly, looking at the water in the bowl as he walked, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally spill a drop.
Chu Qing heard the door knock and slowly opened her eyes, but then the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, obviously in pain.
Granny Duan saw it in her eyes and sighed: "At that time, it was really urgent, if I didn't give you detoxification, I am afraid that I would have lost my life long ago, but the old body did not expect that with your Taoism, you would not be able to resist the poison of that centipede essence pill." β
When Chu Qing heard this, she forcibly moved her body and wanted to sit up, but the pain in her body finally made her give up.
Xiao Jiu saw it in his eyes, hurriedly stepped forward to help Chu Qing up, put a pillow behind her, and after settling down, he tucked the quilt for Chu Qing.
After Chu Qing half-sat up, she looked at Granny Duan with difficulty, and said intermittently, "Qing'er, thank you...... , mother-in-law helps, but it's too late for grace, mother-in-law ...... , don't blame yourself, it's just, this Yuan Dan...... can't be solved with the poison?"
Granny Duan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "There is a way, but it is difficult to find a pearl." β
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu immediately turned around and stood up, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Granny Duan with a longing look, as if to say, "No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find it!"
Seeing this, Granny Duan put down the teacup in her hand, looked at the sunlight shining in at the door, as if she was reminiscing, and said softly: "The old body remembers that there is an elixir called Baicao Zhu in this fairy world, which can be put on the body to dispel a hundred poisons, if you can get this pearl, you will definitely be able to solve the poison of this centipede Jingyuan Dan, but this Baicao Zhu, the old body has only heard about it, but he has never seen it, and he doesn't know where to find it." β
Hearing the words "Baicao Zhu", Chu Qing glanced at Xiao Jiu, her eyelashes trembled twice, and she lowered her head slightly.
When Xiao Jiu heard this, Huo Ran smiled, then reached out to touch his waist, and kept nodding to Granny Duan, indicating that the "Baicao Bead" was here for him.
When Granny Duan saw it, her face was also full of surprise, but she didn't know that Xiao Jiu had touched it for a long time, but the miracle did not happen.
Xiao Jiu searched all over his body, but he didn't find any objects, and his anxious forehead was full of sweat, and his face was flushed.
Seeing this, Chu Qing said softly: "Xiao Jiu, isn't it...... I forgot, where did I put it? Maybe, I lost it. The second half of Chu Qing's voice was unusually low, just because at this critical moment, everyone understood that it was an unacceptable fact to lose the "Hundred Grass Beads", which was like giving a person who was dying a huge hope, but disappointment followed in an instant.
As soon as the word "lost" came out, they suddenly heard a "bang", and everyone looked for prestige, but it was the little fat bear bag, and the water bowl he was holding knocked over to the ground, and the porcelain bowl was very strong, not only was it not damaged, but it was still shaking beside the fat bear.
Chu Qing saw that the little fat bear bag had a dodgy look in his eyes, his expression was uncertain, and he thought that for a few days, Xiao Jiu had been carrying it, and suddenly realized, and blurted out: "Bag bag, Baicao Bead!"
Seeing that he was recognized, the little fat bear bag looked weak and scared, took a few steps back towards the door, lowered his head, and tinkered for a while, before taking out a peanut-sized bead from the small pocket on his belly, holding it in his paws, in the sun, Ye Ye shining, and then lowered his head in shame, avoiding Chu Qing's reproachful gaze, and moved upward.
Xiao Jiu recognized at a glance that it was the Baicao Bead that Yuan Wuxi gave him, and he didn't have time to think about anything else, so he walked over quickly, squatted down, and retrieved the bead from the claws of the little fat bear bag, and without looking at it, he sent it to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing didn't pick up the herb beads, but scolded the little fat bear bag in disappointment, and said with difficulty: "You, you still can't change this problem." After speaking, his face turned even paler, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, obviously because of the anger that had triggered the poison in his body, he had to close his eyes for a while, and he could no longer speak.
Seeing this, Granny Duan stood up and said to Xiao Jiu: "You have to arrange for Qing'er to take this herb bead as soon as possible, after a long time, Yuan Dan's poison will invade the true yuan, and she will not be able to return to the sky." Right now, we have to find a secluded place, a place where spiritual power gathers, to help Qing'er swallow it. β
Xiao Jiu thought about it, pointed in the direction of the sinkhole in the back mountain, picked up Chu Qing, and walked out quickly, Granny Duan was on crutches, followed closely, the little fat bear bag knew that he had almost missed a big thing, but after thinking for a while, he also followed.
Coming to the sinkhole, Xiao Jiu put Chu Qing on the stone bed, stood with his hands in his hands, and stood aside.
Granny Duan looked up and down, saw that the cave was not big, at this time, a ray of sunlight through the natural stone crack on the top of the cave, shining on the stone bed, on the cave wall three feet away from the stone bed, carved a huge "pass" word, carved around some strange symbol-like words, there is a small clear pool next to the stone bed, the water seeping from the cave wall, "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" fell in the pool, nodded incessantly, and said slowly: "Here, it should be the place where the spiritual power of the Jade Shoot Peak gathers, Xiao Jiu, help the mother-in-law to help Qing'er sit up." β
Xiao Jiu obeyed the order, gently held Chu Qing up with her hand, and Granny Duan asked for a hundred grass beads, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu, leave the rest to your mother-in-law, you go outside the cave to guard the pass, remember not to let outsiders disturb you." β
When Xiao Jiu heard this, he looked at Chu Qing again, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked out, guarding outside the cave with the little fat bear bag.
In the cave, Granny Duan put the dragon's head crutch across the entrance of the cave, turned back, walked onto the stone bed, sat down behind Chu Qing, put the herb beads in the palm of her hand, slowly sacrificed, shone on the top of Chu Qing's head, and whispered: "Qing'er, keep the hundred meetings, look inward with light, unite your mind and mind, spit out the old and accept the new......"
Chu Qing clearly felt at this time that the poison in his body was constantly wandering, and it was difficult to suppress his desires, and he had the urge to burst his body in an instant, so he had no other thoughts, meditated cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing, and did it one by one according to the guidance of Granny Duan.
Later, I saw that the Baicao beads on the top of Chu Qing's head were shining, incomparably gorgeous, illuminating this sinkhole thoroughly, blooming from the bead body, and slowly ingesting it into the body from Chu Qing's Baihui acupoint.
And almost at the same moment, Chu Qing felt that there was another power surging in his body, and he was fighting with the brilliance of Baicao Zhu, but he kept hearing Granny Duan's soft words in his ears, and he adopted them all, and it was actually a wonderful use, and it gradually got better, and then the voice in his ears went farther and farther, getting weaker and weaker, until he could no longer hear it.
Suddenly, a white light flashed overhead, like electricity, Chu Qing saw that the world changed in front of his eyes in an instant, and the first thing that lit up in front of him seemed to be the light of the sun and the moon, and the light above these firmaments was clearly illusory in the cyan sky, exuding dazzling brilliance, with blood-red morning sun, and silver-white moon rings, only a stone's throw away from him in a trance, as if it was the river lamp he was holding, softly illuminating his cheeks.
The sun and the moon are shining, it should be dawn at this time, a thin layer of clouds, slowly drifting past his stretched body, and a cool mist rushing towards him, and the breath of his mouth and nose turned into a dense mist, blending in the blue and white morning light, diffuse and wandering.
"Where am I?"
I was stunned, but I suddenly saw a transparent seed in my body, like a spring breeze and rain, gently arching through the hard shell, stretching out the shoots, and growing into a towering tree in an instant. His mind and body were also separated in an instant, and suddenly a light, like a bright light in the dark night, gently illuminated, reflecting the mist there, drifting gracefully, in the depths of the mist, a young woman slowly walked out, standing faintly in the light, looking at it lightly.
"Is this me?"
It was a very feminine woman, with a graceful and slender figure, wearing an embroidered collared waist-length skirt, the upper skirt was white, the chest neckline was obliquely embroidered with a black bamboo, the lower skirt was dark blue, the skirt was embroidered with small wild flowers, a narrow crimson belt was tied around the waist, and the long and straight hair was naturally coiled behind the head, forming a fluffy and natural bun, and there were two red sandalwood gold-painted hairpins inserted into a cross, two long bangs on the forehead, which extended mischievously to the ears, and the white cheeks had graceful eyebrows, a delicate nose, moist lips, and eyes like water, quietly staring overγ
It's a woman who makes people feel distressed at a glance, it's a woman who needs to be cared for, and she looks so beautiful.
Time, at that moment, also stopped for this.
Chu Qing saw herself clearly, walking in the endless grassland, thousands of miles of green fields, rivers with nine bends and eighteen bends, countless mountains in the distance, under the white clouds on the bright sun, a line of white birds rushed straight to the blue sky, she closed her eyes, her attitude was leisurely, facing the whistling wind on the grassland, she opened her arms, embraced the joyful wind, and let every pore in her body be integrated into this nature.
Chu Qing saw that he was a high-flying goshawk with wings spread, facing the hunting wind, soaring in the sky, leaving thousands of mountains and mountains in an instant, and running towards the sunset in front of him, and the twilight clouds closed. There, there seemed to be a paradise that she wanted to go to, but couldn't describe.
Who knows, suddenly a huge haze fell from the sky, and without waiting for a reaction, he was smashed into the endless darkness in an instant, and the sky and the earth were dim, the demons danced wildly, the eyes could not see, the ears could not hear, and the only little clarity left in the soul was to feel the transformation of the body, the vast universe was setting off a terrible storm, and the surging evil qi inspired a powerful force, imprisoning her body, imprisoning her soul, and sending her into the abyss of no return!
"Ding-dong, ding-dong"
The sound of water droplets, the familiar sound of water droplets, the sound of water droplets that I haven't seen for a long time, sounded in my ears again.
Suddenly, Chu Qing opened her eyes, her right hand clutched the placket on her chest, panting heavily, and the beads of sweat on her forehead shone slightly in the moonlight.
Is it late at night?
Chu Qing slowly stood up from the stone bed, and suddenly felt dizzy in her head, she stroked her forehead, lowered her head, and in a trance, she saw the inky blue skirt on her body, and the skirt was embroidered with small wildflowers, and in the dark, she felt that in the darkness behind her, there were six unknown things, and she moved......
