Chapter 186 The mysterious master
Chapter 186 The mysterious master
Chu Yu squatted in front of the fire pit, stretched out his hands, and watched the crackling sparks flying, slightly absent-minded.
She felt like she was trying to warm her frozen hands, but she seemed to have no feeling at all. She just numbly listened to the doctors behind her sighing and saying that they were powerless.
The people behind me left one after another, and the number of doctors waiting outside gradually decreased.
It seems like I have returned to the numb and suffocated feeling I once had.
Amu's face behind him was red from the cold. He sent the last doctor away, but he still didn't give up. He chased the doctor out and begged the doctor to think of more solutions.
Azan came out of the room carrying another basin of blood.
He saw Chu Yu's hand was about to reach the fire, and she was so scared that she couldn't hold the basin firmly. He hurried over to pull her: "Xiao Yu, are you okay?"
"Ah?" Chu Yu raised his head in confusion and looked at his hands helplessly.
"Aren't your hands hot?" Azan pulled over her hands that had been roasted over the flames for a long time, but he let go the moment he touched her hands because he was burned.
"Oh, it's hot."
Azan was scalded, and quickly grabbed a handful of snow, covered his hands, and looked at Xiaoyu with some surprise.
Chu Yu had no idea that he had put his hand on the fire.
Azan instantly burned a blister on his index finger.
"Your hand..." Chu Yu was a little confused. Azan told her that it was careless and told her not to worry.
"I'll go change the water for you." Chu Yu picked up the basin on the ground, stood up and was about to leave, but found that another doctor came outside.
The doctor was tall and slender, wearing a thin blue shirt that rustled in the wind and snow. He wore a bamboo hat and carried a sword on his back. Only the lower half of his young and handsome face could be seen. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his voice was low and pleasant:
"I heard that the mansion is looking for a doctor, so I want to give it a try."
Father Li looked more like a swordsman than a doctor, but he was at his wit's end at the moment, and he would be grateful to anyone who was willing to give him a try.
"Please come in, doctor." Father Li invited him in himself.
After the doctor in green entered Li Heng's room, he closed the door. No one could enter, and no one could hear any movement inside.
"Doctor, this is not good..." Father Li stood outside the door and asked carefully. He was afraid that his son would get into an accident again and did not trust this stranger.
"If you want to cure your son, don't disturb him."
When Mr. Li heard that the disease could be cured, he was overjoyed.
"Okay, okay, Master, as long as you can cure my son, everything will be fine. I will give you whatever the price is..."
Father Li said a lot of things outside, but there was no more movement in the house.
Li Heng's clothes were completely taken off, revealing the young man's tight, thin muscles, which were covered with hideous wounds. They had just been cleaned, but now they began to bleed again.
He looked at another doctor who came in without saying a word. He expected the result to be the same, and the corners of his eyes turned red with hatred.
"You are so resentful that you will lose your mind and go astray."
Unexpectedly, when the doctor came in, he did not examine him but instead discussed philosophy with him.
Li Heng frowned and still said nothing.
"What do you want to do most right now?"
Unexpectedly, the young man in blue was still asking some random questions. Li Heng couldn't help but look at him again. His eyes, which had long been red with anger, were stained with a layer of doubt. However, thinking about the reason why he had fallen to this point, his hatred rekindled and he said in a cold voice:
"I'm going to kill them."
"say it again."
"I'm going to kill them!"
"say it again!"
“I’m going to kill them!!!”
"Good boy, even when you are forced into a desperate situation like this, you still have backbone."
Hearing that he was inexplicably praised, Li Heng became even more curious about this doctor who didn't look like a doctor, and his tone couldn't help but become more respectful:
"Doctor, do you have any way to cure me?"
"I can't wait much longer. The longer that person lives, the more danger there is for those around me."
"Please help me this time, Heng will repay you with his life."
The young man in green shirt raised his head with an intriguing smile, and revealed his handsome and deep eyes under his bamboo hat. In the blink of an eye, he and Li Heng disappeared silently...
Chu Yu was the first to notice something unusual. She tiptoed to the window and felt that the isolation from the barrier had disappeared. She wet her fingertips and poked a hole in the window paper.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked. Once I looked, the sky fell down and Young Master Li was gone again.
Sin ah.
In the first half of the night, the Li family was busy trying to call a doctor, but before they could figure out what was going on, they started looking for someone again in the second half of the night.
.........
Li Heng was brought to a mysterious space by a mysterious man in green. It was a desolate and silent place. There was a shallow pool of water under his feet, creating ripples.
In the distance, there was an exquisite and fairy-like house. The mysterious man put Li Heng on the couch, took out a pill and fed it into Li Heng's mouth.
The mysterious man didn't say anything, just two words:
"Bear it."
Before Li Heng could react, intense pain erupted from his body.
"what!!!"
The meridians in Li Heng's body were healing quickly, but the power of the elixir was impacting his entire body at the same time. The pain was even worse than Fang Yu's torture.
I don’t know how long it took, but the pain finally disappeared.
Instead, there was a tremendous sense of power in his dantian that Li Heng had never felt before.
It seems like he... has directly reached the third level of Spirit Gathering?
Li Heng stood up in disbelief and put on his clothes. He looked at his restored body and knew that he had met a hermit. He knelt down and bowed to the mysterious man:
"Thank you for your help, I will never forget it!"
"It's okay, it's just a small favor. It's a pity for a good talent like you. Remember, you should be upright in the future and not go astray. Just like what happened tonight, if I hadn't come, you would have gone astray."
Li Heng couldn't help but raise his head and look carefully at his benefactor, feeling a sense of admiration and respect.
He gritted his teeth, and kneeled down again with a thick face: "Senior, I have an unreasonable request. Can you please accept me as your disciple?"
Hearing this, the mysterious man couldn't help but laugh: "You know, it's not that easy to be my apprentice."
"No matter how difficult it is, I'm not afraid. I will work hard to make you accept me! I will never embarrass you!"
"Oh? Why do you want me to be your master?" The mysterious man seemed very interested.
"Senior, you not only saved my life, but also helped me to break through. Moreover, you are upright and will definitely not teach your disciple bad things. I believe that by following you, I can walk on the right path and become a person who hates evil and is upright like you." Li Heng looked at the other party with a firm gaze.
At this time, the mysterious man in green had turned his back. He seemed to be a little flattered by the praise. He couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth, so he didn't want the young man who admired him to see it.
Li Heng thought that what he said was not good enough, so he added: "Senior, you are powerful and righteous, and you will never associate with the hypocritical people in Xiaoyao Sword Sect. Xiaoyao Sword Sect indulges its disciples to bully men and women and slander the people. If I become your disciple, I will be able to work with you to clean up the righteous atmosphere!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, the mysterious man staggered.
"Uh……"
Li Heng was unaware and continued, "Senior accepted me as his disciple. My first step is to seek revenge with a righteous heart."
"actually……"
"In the future, when I grow up, I will definitely attack Xiaoyao Sword Sect and eliminate the disaster for the people of Zhongzhou!"
"Ahem, that's not necessary..."
"senior!"
The mysterious man was a little embarrassed, but after a while, he turned around and seemed to have made up his mind. He said solemnly: "I will only accept the strongest as my disciple."
"Will you be the strongest young man of this generation?"
Hearing this, Li Heng gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said in a loud voice: "Senior, please trust me. Who else but me?"
"Good, courageous."
The strong man in green actually thought about accepting a disciple, and Li Heng's talent in Xuanqi and swordsmanship were the most satisfactory he had ever met.
It's just that this child's understanding of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect is somewhat distorted, which makes him a little worried.
"In this case, if you can accomplish two things, I will accept you as my apprentice."
Li Heng was overjoyed when he heard him speak up, and hurriedly asked, "What is it, please tell me, senior?"
"First, Fang Yu is at the third level of the Gathering Spirit, and you are also at the third level. I will give you a fair chance for revenge. If you can complete it neatly, you will have passed the first level."
"Second, in the immortal sect assessment next month, you must be the first in the Xiaoyao Sword Sect."
“Senior, why is it Xiaoyao Sword Sect…” Li Heng didn’t understand. Xiaoyao Sword Sect was so hypocritical and condoned its disciples to hurt others. Even though this was the holy land for cultivation that he once longed for, after this experience, he no longer had any desire to do so. Why should he still participate in the assessment of Xiaoyao Sword Sect?
"Xiaoyao Sword Sect is one of the five major sects and the largest sect in Central Continent. If you don't become the number one there, how can you prove that you are the strongest?"
This reason was very reasonable, so Li Heng agreed without thinking too much.
Afterwards, the mysterious man gave Li Heng a secret bag.
"It can save lives at critical moments. Don't open it unless it's absolutely necessary. If you have completed my two requests and haven't used this treasure bag yet, it won't be too late to open it then."
Li Heng took the brocade bag, and the scene around him suddenly began to change, and he returned to the snowy day of Fengyuan County.
The figure of the mysterious man in green slowly faded away. Li Heng hurriedly chased after him and asked loudly, "Senior, if I have done both things, where should I find you?"
Before the green figure disappeared, he sent a voice message directly to Li Heng's sea of consciousness: "When you open the brocade bag, you will understand."
……
The sky gradually brightened and the wind and snow gradually subsided.
Chu Yu held up the lantern, watched the sky gradually brighten, and blew out the candle in the lantern.
She searched all night but found nothing. Confused, she held the lantern and walked towards Li's house numbly.
When he reached the gate, Chu Yu saw a figure clearly and the lantern in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.
The young man was sitting on the stone steps at the door, seemingly waiting for someone. When he heard the noise, he turned around and stood up happily when he saw Chu Yu.
"Xiaoyu, I couldn't find you after I returned home, so I thought of coming out to wait for you..."
He came in such a hurry that he ignored the blood all over his body and the horrible human head beside him.
Li Heng saw Xiaoyu standing there, and suddenly reacted. Fearing that he would scare her, he quickly blocked the head behind him: "It's him, and the blood on his body is also his. I came back in such a hurry that I forgot for a moment."
No matter what opportunities Li Heng encountered, Chu Yu had no intention of thinking about it. She was so tired now.
Chu Yu walked to Li Heng and sat down against the vermilion pillar.
"It was a close call yesterday, wasn't it?" Chu Yu leaned against the pillar, slowly closed his eyes, and whispered:
"Let's wait here together for Azan Amu and the others to come back."
"it is good."
Li Heng knew that Chu Yu was exhausted after a whole night, so she finally felt relieved and fell asleep leaning against the pillar.
He was afraid that she would catch a cold, and also that the pillar was too hard and would hurt her. He wanted to move closer, but he felt at a loss as he looked at himself covered in blood.
"Just let me be quiet for now. I'll be busy later, right?"
Hearing Xiaoyu say this, Li Heng inadvertently glanced at the head next to him and replied "Yeah".
As the girl's breathing gradually stabilized, Li Heng stopped making any noise and followed her, enjoying the moment of tranquility in the vast snow.
