Chongyuan, a hermit settlement outside the western region. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Pulling out the last golden needle, the young woman raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead, gently picked up a thin quilt, covered it for the person lying on the couch, and then quietly walked out of the ashram.

Seeing that her face was pale and her steps were vain, the old patriarch who was guarding outside hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, sit down and rest first, and I will help you recover your qi and blood later." ”

The woman nodded slightly, and sat down with the support of the old patriarch.

Seeing that her face seemed to have regained some blood, the old patriarch slowly sat down on a chair next to her, and then asked cautiously, "Even today, the girl has administered three injections to him, but has she seen some results?"

The woman sighed softly, shook her head, and said, "After being so seriously injured, he was already lifeless, and he relied on that magical butterfly transformation method to protect the hot breath in his heart. Now he was effectively a living dead, with a little undead soul in his heart enclosed in a mortal body. It was like hell on earth, he could feel all the pain in his body, but he could only be trapped in it, unable to move at all! I used this 'golden needle tribulation' for him, but it could not help him fight against his almost dead body at all. Whether or not he will wake up in the end depends entirely on his own will, and on the favor of God!"

"That's the case-" The old patriarch couldn't help but sigh, "This kid already has extraordinary willpower, even among the hermit! It's just that this child has a bad fate, and he sees that he is about to turn into a butterfly, but he suddenly becomes the appearance of the living dead now, which is really suffocating!"

The woman frowned lightly and asked with a slightly confused expression, "Old Patriarch, I have limited knowledge of this butterfly transformation technique, so I have a question for you. Do you know what will happen after the practice of transforming the butterfly into a butterfly, and will the appearance of the person who is practicing the exercise also change?"

The old patriarch shook his head and said, "The first and last person in the Yin Clan to practice the Butterfly Transformation Skill was an ancestor hundreds of years ago. According to the literature of the time, it is only said that he was reborn after his success, like a butterfly, but there is no mention of his appearance ever changing. It's just that since the girl has this question, she must have made some unusual discovery?"

"I—" The woman hesitated to spit out a word, paused for a long time, and finally uttered the discovery that made her feel a little unspeakable, "I just feel that every time the needle is applied, his skin has become smoother and softer than before, most of the old scars on his body have disappeared, and the wrinkles on his face from the torture of injuries and illnesses have become lighter and lighter, and - his size seems to be changing—"

The old patriarch's eyes widened the more he listened, and finally he couldn't help but get up from his chair and walk quickly into the quiet room. After a while, he walked out with his hands behind his back and a strange expression, sat down heavily in his chair, and began to shake his head and laugh.

"Miracle! It's a miracle! I think this is the rebirth contained in the history books! The phrase 'breaking the cocoon into a butterfly' is not a lie, but it is really like a cocoon to a butterfly, which makes people shed their old skin and look new from the inside out!"

Seeing that the old patriarch was so excited, the woman couldn't help but smile. Thinking about it, this is a common problem of people who are obsessed with martial arts - once they find a new breakthrough in a certain exercise in this world, they are excited, as if they have achieved great things. But if you think about it carefully, why shouldn't this be the case for those who study medicine? Once there is a cure for the world, all the doctors will also celebrate with their foreheads, and they will be very happy that the people in the world can reduce their suffering and suffering.

Who knew that the old patriarch's laughter stopped, and he suddenly patted his thigh and sighed: "It's just that although the appearance has changed, if the vitality in the body is gone, it will be in vain in the end!"

"Now that his body has changed, proving that the butterfly transformation method is still working, I believe that he will eventually overcome himself and completely wake up!" Although the woman's face was still smiling, a pair of small hands were secretly clenched, silently praying in her heart that God must let that person come back to life.

The old patriarch's eyes full of wisdom looked at her for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Since the girl believes that he will definitely wake up, then she should cherish herself even more and wait for the day when he opens his eyes and sees you!"

The woman was slightly stunned and asked softly, "What do you mean by this?"

"Every time you apply the needle, you will be exhausted, and thinking about this 'Golden Needle Tribulation' is a very painstaking technique. And your situation is different from ordinary people, due to congenital deficiency caused by qi deficiency and weak blood, physical strength is not half of ordinary people, not only can you not practice qi and martial arts, but also should not do anything to drain the mind. Although I can use my internal strength to help you recover your qi and blood, if you want to fully recover, you can't. In the long run, your body will deteriorate, and I am afraid that you will not be able to support him to wake up one day!"

Hearing the old patriarch say this, the woman couldn't help but hang her head, then bit her lip and raised her head, and said: "But I really can't bear to see him suffer from the endless pill every day! Although he does not say or move, he is not ignorant and insensitive, and the pain he bears at this moment has not diminished in the slightest, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on one day, and he wants to get rid of the sea of suffering from this day, and give up the only remaining hope of life!" Although I can't completely eliminate his pain, I can make him feel that someone is helping him fight the pain, and I will never let him die silently!"

The old patriarch knew that what she said was reasonable, no matter how strong-willed a person was, after all, he was flesh and blood, and after a long and endless torture, it was inevitable that there would be a moment of vulnerability. As long as the child no longer insists and chooses to sink into the state of eternal ignorance and insensibility, then he will never wake up again!

But should we sacrifice another life in order to save one?

Seeing that the old patriarch was silent, a soft smile suddenly appeared on the woman's face, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, I am a medical student, and I know my physical condition best." Although your internal strength alone is not enough to help me recover, combined with my homemade potion, I can recover more or less as before. Besides, if his butterfly transformation method works wonders, he may be able to wake up within a few months, and then everything will be different, and I can rest for a while to fully recover my strength. ”

The old patriarch knew that what the girl said was not all true, but in the current situation, there was really no way to find the best of both worlds. Then I had to follow her method first, and at most I would suffer more and try to help her recover faster.

"Well, then let's do as you say for now. I hope that the boy will wake up soon, and it will not be in vain all the sacrifices you have made for him!"

The woman just smiled faintly when she heard this, then remembered a question again, and frowned: "I'm just a little worried about him, and when he wakes up, he finds that his face has changed drastically, as if he has become another person, I wonder if he will find it difficult to accept?"

The old patriarch's face suddenly showed a bit of mystery, and he said with a smile: "Since practicing the Butterfly Transformation Technique, his appearance has been changing, who can say exactly what he has become in the end, will it be what he should be?"
