Chapter 46: The Concerned Man
The black liquid was hundreds of slender worms, flowing down the blood veins around the heart into the heart, and Qiu's heart was like hitting the sky, and he felt that his chest was about to be cut off with a sharp knife.
After entering the heart, the black liquid became bloodthirsty and violent, and the red blood slurry was like a gushing river, merging into the black liquid.
Just as the blood toad encroached on his dantian at the beginning, he was afraid and frightened and powerless at this time, and the priest seemed to have been worried about all this for a long time, and the melodious chanting in his mouth did not dare to stop, but the black liquid was soaked in corpse poison and stimulated by blood, and it had long been out of his control.
The priest's face was red, and every time Qiuxin's blood was swallowed a little, the brilliance in the priest's eyes dimmed, and under the passage of time, his hair gradually became gray, and his face was wrinkled.
He was the same as Qiu Xin, desperate and frightened in his heart, Qiu Xin gradually became drowsy in his brain due to excessive blood loss, but the black liquid became more and more vigorous.
At this moment, Qiu Xin's whole body began to heat up, and the priest who had been watching him seemed to see something surprising, and exclaimed in his mouth, "Such a strong breath of life. ”
The black liquid was greedy, and the beating of the heart gradually weakened, but this hot current came quickly and violently, and it was the breath of fire and gold in the heart.
This black liquid was a Gu worm raised by the priest, and its spiritual intelligence was not high, but the living creatures, in the face of great danger, scattered and fled from the meridians before they could merge into a ball.
However, the Breath of Fire and Gold was extremely exclusive, and even for the other three essences, it was usually in constant fighting, and it seemed to be angered by the invasion of black liquid.
The violent red turbulence enveloped several of the black silk threads in an instant. I couldn't help resisting, and I was melted and disappeared by the breath of fire and gold.
The remaining hundreds of black silk threads were terrified at this time. Flowing wildly towards Qiu Xin's seven orifices, blood oozed from the corners of the priest's mouth. But it was not as flustered as just now, and the old trend also stopped.
With the sound of chanting in his mouth, the black liquid finally felt the summoning under this great terror, and it methodically converged into one, flowing out of Qiu Xin's left ear and falling into the priest's hand.
The flowing crystal color of the black liquid was no longer the usual color, and it remained motionless in the priest's hands, and the insignificant black liquid that the breath of fire and gold devoured seemed to have caused great damage to the golden Gu. Seeing this, the priest looked sorry and rejoiced, walked slowly to the stone wall, untied the rope, and put Qiu Xin down.
Qiu Xin sat cross-legged on the ground, the four-colored true qi that had not moved for a long time slowly came out of his body, the four-colored light reflected through the stone room, and the fury of the insects in the room caused by the corpse poison before also quieted down.
The priest watched the scene. There was a lot of brilliance in his eyes, and he completely forgot what he had suffered, and after a stick of incense, Qiu Xin calmed down the explosion of fire and gold breath in his body.
And the corpse poison in the body has been cleaned up. The meridians are smooth, especially better than before, so that Qiu Xin is overjoyed. After standing up, Qiu Xin saw the priest's old state.
The priest puts the golden cup back into his body. I also found a place to sit down, and I was a little lacking in strength. Said, "You don't have to look at me so strangely, I am now more than a hundred years old, I should be like this, my golden Gu is called the three worms, formless and formless, and has a great effect on the warmth of the flesh and blood meridians, so I can maintain a young appearance."
This time for you to remove the poison, it was already extremely damaging, but I didn't expect that the toxicity in your body was deep, more than expected, which made it delirious, and was injured by the fire in your body, and the healing effect was far from comparable to before. ”
Qiu Xin bent his legs, knelt on the ground, and bowed respectfully, "The grace of the seniors to save their lives, and the younger generations will live forever." ”
The priest frowned when he heard this, and said, "What you should really be grateful for is Liuyu, the Gu worm has been cultivated for fifty years, and it has become a golden Gu, and it is inseparable from human life, it is extremely precious, if a person dies, Gu will die, and if Gu dies, he will die, my golden Gu has only suffered some damage, and it will be fine after a few years of cultivation." ”
Qiu Xin bowed again, only then did he get up and meditate in his heart, if a person dies, Gu will die, and if Gu dies, he will die, suddenly his face changed greatly, a little incredulous, and said in a trembling voice, "Isn't this my mother-in-law giving you her own golden Gu, then..."
The priest nodded at this time, "I have already persuaded her that she can't do this no matter what, but Liuyu is forced to die, and he says that he wants to sever contact with the golden silkworm, and whether I agree or not, it is all a result, and in desperation, I just..."
Qiu Xin was extremely remorseful in his heart, but he was a little angry with the priest, "Why don't you explain this matter to me?" The voice was not loud, but Qiu Xin's angry words could be heard.
"Liuyu saved you but didn't speak to you, when you have a mellow heart and don't want to continue yourself with the lives of others, she pleaded in every way. The priest's language was rather helpless.
"The Golden Gu crisis itself, since you have known your mother-in-law for many years, why do you have to ask for his Golden Gu?" Qiu Xin asked again, but he was already disappointed in his heart.
The priest sighed, and at this time he seemed to have read all the vicissitudes of the world, "I have been in love with Liuyu for half a lifetime, how can I know that she will die and not save her, and how can a person like us who is half buried in the ground care about these things outside of my body."
It is really unsatisfactory in the world, everyone is worried, my sorrow, naturally the whole Miao Village, to this day, there is no candidate for the next generation of priests in the village, the three worms are disabled, if there is no other golden silkworm remedy, I will die soon, if I die, what should the whole Miao Village do?"
Qiu Xin understood, and said miserably, "Don't you save me, wouldn't everything be fine, let me die, harmless to myself, and no harm to him, why should you suffer..."
The priest smiled when he heard this, "We have worked so hard to save you, naturally we don't want you to feel the ease of life here, Liuyu is right, you really would rather hurt yourself than harm others, ha... Cough. ”
The priest laughed and coughed, and anyone could see that he was in a very bad state at this time, and then he said, "Shicai said that my scruples, as you said, even if you have a good heart and good conduct, why should we save you, first, because I have no kindness in Miao Village, and second, because I have no grace.
Even if the healer is benevolent, I will never save you. But Liuyu is willing to lose her life, and she wants to save you, just because she has a trust in her heart and dies without regrets. ”
Qiu Xin heard the words and said, "What the predecessors said, but Ah Nan?" Liu Yu couldn't rest assured, except for the injured in Miao Village, there was only an only granddaughter, and the witch doctor could be replaced, but when she died, Ah Nan had no one to take care of her.
"Well, Liuyu's medical skills are proficient, even if she is a famous doctor in the Central Plains, she can match her, but she is only San'er, but she can't remove the fetal marks on Ah Nan's face. ”
When I think of Ah Nan, Qiu Xin is even more sad, as soon as Liu Yu dies, Ah Nan has no relatives in the world, and the eight or nine-year-old child makes her feel lonely.
And he went to the village for many days, but he didn't see any children of the same age playing with Ah Nan, even if the people who came to see the doctor, they seemed to look at Ah Nan differently, it turned out that it was only because of the fetal marks on her face.
"His parents died for Miao Zhai, which should have been respected, but Ah Nan was born before his father and mother failed to get married. ”
Qiu Xin had a plan when he heard this, and said, "Since there is no priest candidate in the village, why not..."The priest raised his hand to interrupt, "The position of priest has always been only passed on to men, not women." ”
Qiu Xin sighed, this matter started because of himself, and when he thought of Ah Nan, he couldn't bear it in his heart, "May I ask my senior, is there any way to cure Ah Nan's fetal mark?"
The priest smiled slightly, "She really didn't misunderstand you, you still need to ask her about this matter, I will teach you what you promised, and when you leave, come to the altar again, and I will tell you later." ”
Qiu Xin's eyes showed a look of surprise when he heard this, and the priest saw it in his eyes, "The fire in your heart is really rare, if there is no one in your heart, there will be no such image, so you will definitely leave......
Qiu Xin was relieved, bent down and bowed, and walked out of the altar along the same road, and when he came out, the red sun was in the sky, and the Miao Village was full of fun.
Flawless these scenes, Qiu Xin walked quickly to the small courtyard, the smell of herbs is strong, at this time it is so fragrant, into the house, only to see the palmetto lying on the bed, eyes closed, Ah Nan kneeling in front of the bed, small hands holding the dried palms of the palmetto, kept wiping tears.
Hearing the sound, Ah Nan suddenly threw herself into Qiu's arms and cried, "Big brother, grandma is sick, come and see why the medicine that Ah Nan grabbed doesn't work." ”
Qiu Xin's nose was sour, she took a deep breath, hugged Ah Nan, and comforted, "Ah Nan doesn't cry, grandma will be fine after a while." "In the face of a child, it is difficult for Qiu Xin to speak no matter what.
Carrying Ah Nan to the bed, Qiu Xin put one hand on Liupalmetto's wrist, and the wisps of warm true qi were sent into Liupalmetto's body, feeling that most of the meridians in Liupalmetto's body had completely dried up, and it was able to support it so far, all with a breath in his heart.
Slowly combed her whole body, with the warmth of the breath of fire and gold, the breath of the palmetto was much more stable, and Ah Nan laughed in surprise when she saw this scene, with the tears on her face that had not yet been wiped off, which made Qiu Xin feel more and more distressed.
After a while, Liuyu slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the scene beside the bed, and reluctantly took Ah Nan's hand and said, "Nan Nan, you go out to help the eldest brother catch four coins of Ejiao, three coins of angelica, and three coins of Shou Wu, and fry them over medium heat." ”
When Ah Nan saw that her grandmother could talk and settle herself to decoction medicine, she was overjoyed, wiped two handfuls of tears, and ran out.
Qiu Xin sighed deeply, closed his eyes, opened them slowly, and half-knelt in front of the bed, watching a tear slip down the corner of his eye.
"Ah Nan has no father and mother since she was a child, and she has no playmates, the old woman is deeply saddened, and she feels that the limit is coming, and now I ask you for one thing, I hope you can see the thin face of the old woman healing you, and promise me. ”
Qiu Xin nodded heavily, "What my mother-in-law said, I will definitely do it." ”
The sound of Ah Nan's decoction outside the door was familiar and serene, and the sound of Ah Nan's delicate tune, as if everything would become submissive. (To be continued.) )
