Chapter 15: The Medicine King's Heart
"Why can't you cry?"
"Because when I cry, it snows. Even if it's June and summer. ”
"And under what circumstances do you cry?"
"My father said, 'If a passive person hurts Cher, Cher will cry', I don't know the specifics!"
"Then am I the one who makes you tempted?"
"I don't know!"
"That's it, you can be tempted for me!"
Wuxin recalled the conversation with Luo Xue who once stood on the shoulder of the Medicine King, when she was still a girl who liked to eat marshmallows, and he was a boy who had nothing to do and was rampant and jumpy. Watching the snowflakes fall from the sky, he seemed to see crystal tears spilling out of his sad eyes and flowing over his cheeks.
In Tianqu City, people were looking forward to the follow-up of the opening of the altar, but the matter seemed to be over, the Ye family did not ask the United Elders to explain, obviously they suffered a loss, but someone saw Shangguan Shangguan come to the door to apologize in person.
On the third day, the snow stopped, and the vision of the snow in June was seen as punishment for breaking the rule of opening the altar once in a hundred years. Or, God is crying out for unintentionality. Whatever the speculation, no one thinks it's a good sign.
Unintentionally summoned Hanxing and Qiuyang into the room, and asked them to repeat the trip to the Black Reef Swamp again, the more detailed the better. The two of them followed each other and had to talk about it in detail, but there was nothing special about it.
"Wait, you've fought hundreds of times in five days?" Wuxin asked.
"Yes, depending on the situation, they seem to be stalling for time!"
"Why delay, aren't they slightly superior to you, if so, they should just wait until the sacrifice is over!"
"Then I can't guess why they did it!" Qiu Yang said.
"By the way, do you know that Aunt Luo Xue has a dragon's blood on her hands?"
The two nodded, and Han Xing said: "Before leaving, your friend Xiao Zheng said the news, but he didn't dare to be sure whether the news was true or false, after all, it was something he heard!"
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out who had the motive to do such a thing, and he felt that he was in a deep whirlpool, and an inexplicable sense of irritability rose.
Xiao Zheng walked into the Ye Mansion with a smile on his face, and the things on the altar made him worship himself even more as the boss, especially the story that was unintentionally standing on the shoulders of the Medicine King and telling a story that was false and true. However, when he left Ye Mansion, there was a trace of anger on his face, because his unintentional eyes and words hurt his self-esteem like a sharp sword.
"What kind of eyes is that, ignoring, mocking, disgusting, condescending?" Xiao Zheng muttered with a face full of indignation, "What kind of tone is that, what kind of attitude, interrogating prisoners? ”
The more Xiao Zheng thought about it, the more angry he felt, and he came to visit with concern, but he was treated like this.
"Boss, hmph, it's me who treats you as the boss, you're the boss!" Xiao Zheng thought as he walked.
Wuxin slipped headlong into the exclusive pharmacy in the backyard, looking at the black diamond-shaped stone that was taller than himself, and his eyes lit up.
"Hey, you can't always rely on Lie Yuan and them!" Thinking of his own strength, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, those water birds were not high-level spirit beasts, under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be difficult to dodge, but no matter what, it was still a matter of strength.
The dragon heart blood that Han Xing and the others finally found was only enough to save the herbs in the medicine garden, and the things inside the diamond-shaped stone had a strong vitality aura, which was enough to replace the dragon heart blood.
He no longer hesitated, and pulled out the short sword from his waist, which he had re-refined Lie Yuan, the short sword was unsheathed, cold, and swung down, and the stone was cut off a corner.
Continuous shaking, neat gestures, like a cow. In an instant, the edges and corners were cut off, and the cracks were split or sharpened, and in a moment, the stone had been cut in half, revealing a palm-sized red spar in the middle. He took it out of the stone and put it in the bright light to look closely, only to find that there were small clumps of crimson blood in the hedrons, about the size of the knuckles at the end of the little finger.
"What kind of effort can be stronger than the vitality of the dragon's blood?"
After thinking about it, he prepared the jade bottle, and the short sword swung again, until the spar became the size of a thumb, and then he carefully slashed it, dripping the scarlet blood into the jade bottle, and quickly added the plug cap.
"I can finally rebuild the foundation!" Wuxin said excitedly, but when he thought of Luo Xue, his expression immediately dimmed, "Such good news, if only I could share it with her." ”
It was night, Wuxin stood on the shoulders of the Medicine King, and the square was restored most perfectly with the help of Lie Yuan and others, and the altar entered the ground again.
He has been waiting for Luo Xue here for three consecutive days, hoping that she can come to this 'old place' after she is discouraged. He ran to her place, but he was closed to the door one after another, and he had an uneasy premonition, as if it would be a long, long time before he saw Luo Xue again.
"What a strange life!" Wuxin sighed, "The Celestial Clan is the enemy on the surface, and the killer is the enemy in the dark, Lie Yuan and they are very sure that the matter of the dragon's heart and blood has nothing to do with these two parties, so who would deal with me so boringly?" This matter seemed to become a knot in his heart.
He lay on the shoulders of the Medicine King, looking at the fifteenth moon, and his mood was not very good! His mood was unstable, and he did not dare to build a foundation easily, for fear that he would not be able to keep his mind and go mad.
He took out the jade bottle from his bosom and looked at the full moon, and said to himself, "What kind of effort is it?"
"Of course it's my heart's work!" the deep voice echoed in Wuxin's ears.
"Who, who?" was unintentionally startled, and the jade bottle in his hand almost fell.
"Bastard boy, lying on my shoulder, you don't know who I am?"
Unintentionally looked up, and found that the eyes of the medicine king seemed to be moving. He shook his head and said, "It must be a dream." ”
"Didn't you say you'd seen me?"
Wuxin's eyes widened, and he saw a burst of mist floating out of the eyes of the Medicine King Statue, and the mist slowly condensed into a figure, it was an old man, he was wearing a crane in the sky, holding the Medicine King Ding, a pine-shaped crane bone, and a natural charm, and Wuxin of course described a flip of appearance.
"Medicine... Medicine King?" Wuxin asked.
"Yes!" said the old man with a gentle smile. A pair of wise eyes looked up and down without a heart, and saw that the other party's heart was hairy.
"Are you really the King of Medicine?"
"It's like a fake!"
"Is it your real body?"
"No, it's just a wisp of spirit!"
"Oh!" Wuxin said, quickly stuffing the jade bottle into his arms.
Seeing his small movements, the Medicine King smiled and said, "Don't worry, this hard work doesn't belong to me anymore!"
Wuxin touched his head in embarrassment. "You've been here?"
"Yes, no!"
"What do you mean?"
"That's what the words mean, I've been here all along, but in a deep sleep, until you have just taken out my heart and soul in the moonlight. ”
"Oh!"
"Still, I saw you peeing on my shoulder!"
"Oh, that ......"
"Forget it, anyway, you said that I am your ancestor, so forget it. ”
"You're still taking advantage of this!" said Wuxin.
"Seriously, what are you going to do with my heart's work?" asked the Medicine King.
"Tsukiki!"
"Tsukiki, what are you hesitating about?"
"Hey, I've been in a bad mood lately!"
"Do you want to drink?" asked the Medicine King, but a jug of wine had already appeared in his hand.
"Okay!" Unintentionally and politely, but his heart was full of doubts, "This medicine king ......"
"Do you want to tell me why I'm so talkative?"
Heartless nodded.
"That's because I haven't talked to mortals in a long time. The Medicine King took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"Talk to mortals, don't you know that people want to talk to you all the time?" said with a smile.
"They just want me to bless them!"
Wuxin remembered the words of Master Shen Impermanence, and indeed, he could hear the words of asking God to bless him almost every day. Wuxin asked: "The legend of Tianqu City is true, but was it really because of the war between gods and demons back then?"
The Medicine King's eyes became blurred, as if he had traveled through endless time and space, and when he returned to that time, he nodded and said, "Yes, it was because of that great battle that I sacrificed this Tianqu City with my heart's blood." ”
"I'm curious, what are you fighting for?" asked Wuxin.
"I was just a rear officer at that time, and I didn't know anything about the front line, but I heard later that it was for a heart!"
"Heart? Everyone has their own heart, what kind of heart can lead to war?" asked Wuxin.
"I don't know much about this!" The Medicine King took a sip of wine, looked at Wuxin with a smile, and said, "I heard that it is the strongest heart, at that time, the immortals thought that the demon and demon clans had obtained that heart, but the other party thought that the heart was on the side of the immortals!"
"That's why the war started, but later, I heard that your immortals won. ”
"In the end, it was actually a lose-lose situation, but the heart never appeared. There are rumors that he ended up in the mortal world, and there are also rumors that he was in heaven, but where is it? No one knows, and maybe even if there is such a heart. ”
"You fairies and demons are really funny!" Wuxin snatched the wine jug from the medicine king's hand and poured it into his mouth.
"yes, that's funny!" the Medicine King laughed, snatching the flask back from Wuxin's hand.
"Well, you're a good wine!" said Wuxin.
"Of course, the medicine king's product must be a high-quality product!" Then he asked, "Tell me, why aren't you in a good mood?"
"It just feels like things are a mess, in the clouds!"
"This is mortal!"
"Are you taunting?"
"What's the matter?"
Wuxin looked into the eyes of the Medicine King and asked, "Do you know the organization that wears a black and white horizontal stripe and embroiders a flower bud on its chest?"
'Ahem!' The wine that the medicine king had just drunk was coughed up, and he looked at Wuxin in shock, hesitated for a while, and said, "I don't know." ”
"Hey, I've got a question that even the gods can't answer!" said with a wry smile as he poured the wine into his mouth.
The Medicine King's expression was a little complicated, and he said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to chat with you, I hope you can build a foundation as soon as possible, cultivate the Tao and become a god, and see you again in the future, drink for a few days and nights!"
"You're leaving?"
"Of course, I'm running out of wine, why don't I leave?"
"That ......" Wuxin scratched the back of his head, showed a bright smile, and said, "I heard that seeing the gods can get a creation!"
"Bang bang!"
The Medicine King knocked Wuxin's head twice in a row, and said, "Haven't you already got my heart's work?" Besides, you may not be a mortal, don't use mortal ideas to imprison yourself. ”
Unintentionally touched his head and looked at the Medicine King in a daze.
"Okay, you don't want to create it, but I can give you a promise!" said the Medicine King with a smile.
"What promise?"
"I'll start brewing a bottle of wine for you today, and he'll see you again in the future, and I'll celebrate with this wine!"
Wuxin muttered: "What a stingy medicine king." ”
The Medicine King's body slowly turned into smoke in front of Wuxin and disappeared into the moonlight. At the same time, there are words echoing in Wuxin's ears: "With my hard work, even if I am in a bad mood, I can build a foundation!"
