Half-life immortal

Chapter 49 There is no cure, the deadly poison of the magic heart grass

She personally killed the person who loved her the most in this world. At that time, she was still so young, only a little over three years old. Who would believe that a weak three-year-old girl would kill her with her own strength? A middle-aged man?The average three-year-old girl is still playing with mud, but she has already learned to kill.

When she woke up in the dungeon of Taiping Temple, the hallucinations were already serious, and she couldn't last long after forcibly suppressing and dealing with the wine and meat monk.

After stepping into the alchemy room, when monk Huineng tied Fang Suihan and turned to get the prescription, his figure, voice, and appearance suddenly became a farmer's father!The layout of the surrounding Danfang has also changed to the dilapidated brick and tile house back then, and everything has changed to what it was 11 years ago, and in her eyes, she has also become a small and thin girl.

She was suddenly terrified, because she saw that what the "farmer" took was not a prescription, but the kitchen knife back then, the kitchen knife that he had sharpened for a long time and became very sharp!

She screamed in fright, and wanted to run around in fright, because she knew that the farmer's father wanted to kill her with that knife, and then drink her blood and eat her flesh. She didn't want to be eaten, so she ran away desperately, but this The brick house did not know when it became very large, and she fled to and fro, but could only escape to the corner, and the farmer came after him with a knife.

Her memory is very confused. On the one hand, she thinks that she will be killed and eaten by the farmer, and on the other hand, she remembers that she has already killed the farmer and eats him; for a while, she thinks that she is still three years old, and for a while, she thinks that she has grown up and is the farmer's child. The souls of the dead came to her to claim their lives...

Feng Yutian carried Xue Qinglan back to the residence, and Xiqiuzhi was in charge of clarifying the matter from the three people.To be honest, Feng Yutian only wanted to know what happened to Xue Qinglan and how to bring her back to normal, he was not interested in anything else.What's more, he was worried about leaving Xue Qinglan alone in the room, so he left all the questioning to Xi Qiuzhi, and then he himself stayed with Xue Qinglan in the room.

She was not sleeping soundly, her brows were furrowed, and she whispered in her dreams.In Feng Yutian's memory, she was always full of energy and smiling all day long, it was rare to see her melancholy, and it was even more rare for her to frown.She always felt like she was frowning like her, but he still hoped to see Xue Qinglan who was smiling.

He stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the broken hair on her forehead. His handsome face remained expressionless as before, but his worry could be seen in his eyes.He sighed softly, he was not in a good mood when he found Xue Qinglan, and he couldn't help thinking again that if he had taken a fancy to her when he was shopping yesterday, maybe it wouldn't be like this now.

By chance, he noticed Xue Qinglan's neck.The white bandage was still wrapped around her slender neck, Xue Qinglan didn't have time to take off the bandage this day, it should be said that she had completely forgotten about it while running around.

The bandage was not tightly wrapped, and it had loosened after a day of walking, and the dark pattern on her neck could be vaguely seen.

black?

What is it?
Feng Yutian was worried about her safety just now, and the collar of her moonlight robe covered it, so he didn't notice it all the way back when he carried her back.Now calm down and observe and soon notice.

He lifted her up, leaned her back against his chest, and gently unwrapped the bandage around her neck.

"This, this is—?"

There is a black tattoo-like thing on her neck. The tattoo looks like black slender grass branches, lifelike, stretching the branches, as if they will move with the wind.

He can assure that he has not seen this black grass tattoo when he bandaged her wound the day before yesterday, and Xue Qinglan doesn't seem to have touched the bandage on her neck. In just two days, this black grass tattoo must have been grown by herself ?
Although the black grass didn't emit any bad smell, Feng Yutian had an intuition that this thing must be bad.And looking at the appearance of this black grass, it seems a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

He observed carefully, and found that the root part of the black grass was at the wound on Xue Qinglan's neck, as if the black grass had grown from her wound.If there is any difference, it is that the black grass seems to be engraved in her flesh, and it still feels like delicate skin on the outside.

"What exactly is this?"

He felt that the black grass should be related to Xue Qinglan's mental illness, but there were too many spiritual plants in the world, and it was not easy to recall the name and function of this plant just by seeing the appearance of the black grass.If a cultivator who studies medicine refining is here, he should be able to recognize the real body of Hei Cao at a glance. Although Feng Yutian knows a lot, he is not an expert in this way.

Not long after, Xiqiuzhi came over frowning. Monk Huineng hadn't woken up yet, but he learned from Fang Suihan the secret he and Xue Qinglan had discovered. According to Xue Qinglan's guess, the matter might not be simple. .It's just that this matter is troublesome, but it has nothing to do with Xue Qinglan's current illness. The top priority is not to deal with those messy things, but to find a way to figure out what's wrong with Xue Qinglan.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Junior brother, how is little junior sister?"

Feng Yutian said: "Brother, I just happened to be looking for you, come and take a look, what is this?"

He was referring to the strange black grass tattoo that suddenly appeared on Xue Qinglan's neck, just a few seconds during the conversation between him and Xiqiu, and looking back at the black grass tattoo, it seemed a little different, as if the black grass tattoo was real. moving.

Xi Qiuzhi watched for a while with a sad face, then suddenly remembered something, and said in amazement: "Could this be——!"

Seeing that he seemed to think of something, Feng Yutian hurriedly asked: "What is it?"

Xi Qiuzhi became even more frowning, and said: "I remember seeing a plant called 'Phantom Heart Grass' in a book before, which is somewhat similar to this black grass."

"Phantom Heart Grass?!"

As soon as he said Feng Yutian, he remembered that Magic Heart Grass is a very dangerous spiritual plant. It is not very famous, but the degree of danger is of the highest level.He has also read in the book that the shape of the magic heart grass is similar to that of ordinary grass, about an inch high, and it can emit mist that confuses the mind. It is okay to inhale a small amount. The aerosol will cause people to see terrifying visions, and eventually their minds will collapse and they will die.

The most troublesome thing about Phantom Heart Grass is that it looks too similar to ordinary grass, and it is very difficult to distinguish it. If you don't observe carefully, you can't see the difference.Usually when walking in the wild, it is rare to encounter phantom heart grass, and even if you encounter it, there will not be too many of them. Only a few fierce places will grow a large number of phantom heart grass, which is extremely dangerous.

The reason why Feng Yutian didn't recognize it at the first time was because the magic heart grass turned black, not the green he knew.

He asked puzzledly: "But how did the Magic Heart Grass become like this?"

Xiqiuzhi carefully observed the wound on Xue Qinglan's neck. The wound was very thin at the time, and it had completely healed after two days. If it wasn't for the conspicuous root of the Phantom Heart Grass, it would be difficult for him to identify the location of the wound.

He frowned deeply, and said in distress: "Master Baigu told me before that the magic heart grass itself is not terrible, but if it is used properly, it can become a terrifying weapon. From my guess, the two people who attacked us the day before yesterday A killer's weapon should be sprinkled with phantom grass seeds. Once injured by their weapons, phantom grass seeds will be planted in the wound, and take root and sprout through blood aura. Now it seems that if it is really phantom grass , I am afraid that it has already grown in the body of the little junior sister."

Feng Yutian had never heard of this kind of usage, and he was surprised: "Plant the magic heart grass in the human body?"

Xi Qiuzhi hesitated and said: "This... Actually, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but the situation of the junior sister is somewhat similar to what the uncle described, and it should not be far from it."

"But what's the matter with this black grass?"

He still didn't understand, if it really grew out of blood, why did the Phantom Heart Grass turn black?
Xiqiuzhi said: "Perhaps instead of directly planting the magic heart grass, but extracting the poison of the magic heart grass? This black magic heart grass should be the poison of the magic heart grass. According to the function of the magic heart grass, the poison of the magic heart grass Poison can erode one's consciousness, causing confusion and seeing all kinds of illusions, if left unchecked, sooner or later, the little junior sister will have a mental breakdown due to the poison of the phantom heart grass."

He is not an expert in refining medicine, so he doesn't know much about its specific application, but he used to study medical arrays when he was idle and bored while recuperating from his injuries, and they are much stronger than Feng Yutian. He almost guessed everything.

The poison of the phantom heart grass had been injected into Xue Qinglan's body the night before, but at that time Xue Qinglan had frozen the wound with ice, and the poison could not be revealed for a while, neither Xiqiuzhi nor Feng Yutian noticed it.After a while, Xue Qinglan used her spirit energy a few times, which greatly accelerated the poisoning of the Phantom Heart Grass, and only then did it evolve into the current situation.

Feng Yutian didn't know much about the Phantom Heart Grass, so he asked Xi Qiuzhi for help: "Brother, do you know how to remove the poison of the Phantom Heart Grass?"

"This... this..."

Xiqiu became embarrassed, recalling his previous understanding of the Magic Heart Grass and Master Baigu's explanation, and said: "As far as I know, there is no antidote for this Magic Heart Grass. If you accidentally inhale a small amount of Magic Heart Grass The mist only needs to stay away from the magic heart grass, and then concentrate and calm down for a while. If you inhale a large amount of magic heart grass gas mist, you can only rely on your own Dao heart to not be fascinated by the illusion and survive. But the situation of the little junior sister It's different, the poison of the phantom heart grass has penetrated into her sea of ​​consciousness, this..."

Feng Yutian also frowned, and said, "Could it be that we can't do anything but watch her die?"

Xi Qiuzhi shook his head and said, "This is definitely not possible."

Feng Yutian also knew it was impossible, but if Xiqiuzhi was helpless, he couldn't think of any good solution: "Brother, if she relies on herself alone, do you think she has any hope of surviving the poison of the Phantom Heart Grass?"

According to what Xiqiu said, as long as the Taoist heart is firm and not fascinated by illusions, it will not cause a mental breakdown. This is also the only way to restrain the magic heart grass.When he asked this question, in fact, he already knew in his heart that Xue Qinglan had obviously fallen into an illusion, and she was still deeply trapped.Regardless of whether her mind is firm or not, things have come to this point, and it is impossible for her to avoid the fate of a nervous breakdown by herself.

Xiqiuzhi shook his head again, and said: "I don't know. The junior sister's practice is still shallow, I'm afraid... the magic heart grass can reproduce the scene that people least want to see, no matter who will have the most feared thing, even the two of us I am afraid that it is not optimistic to be poisoned by the phantom heart grass."

In fact, he also wanted to say that if Xue Qinglan could make it through with her own strength, then her mind and consciousness would experience terrifying growth.It's just that it doesn't make sense to say it now, we have to wait until she can really get through it. Now it seems that the possibility is very low.

At this moment, the room was suddenly quiet, Xiqiuzhi and Feng Yutian were both lost in thought, only the unconscious Xue Qinglan was still whispering in her dreams.

Feng Yutian closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Senior brother, since it is an illusion, can it be forcibly reversed by using illusion?"

Xiqiuzhi was surprised and said: "Illusion? Illusion can also affect people's senses, and its effect is similar to that of Magic Heart Grass, but... Junior Brother, no one has tried this, and I don't know what will happen. Under the double illusion , Junior Sister can bear it? Besides, even if it is really effective, it is a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause, and we are not good at illusions."

Feng Yutian had no choice but to come up with such an idea. Indeed, it is not easy to perform an illusion that can completely pull Xue Qinglan into the illusion.However, Xue Qinglan is currently in an illusion, her mind is the most fragile, and the chance of success should not be small, but Xiqiuzhi's concerns are also right: With Xue Qinglan's current mental state, can she sustain the double illusion?But don't help more and more...

Xi Qiuzhi thought: "Also... when you cast the illusion, your consciousness will enter the sea of ​​consciousness of the little junior sister. If you are not careful, you may also be poisoned by the magic heart grass. The magic heart grass will erode your consciousness. It should not be underestimated. And junior brother, you..."

He hesitated halfway through speaking, but finally did not continue.

He wanted to say that it would be easy if the younger junior sister became chaotic and mad, both of them could suppress her, but if Feng Yutian lost control, his fierceness would be enough to burn everyone here to ashes.Wouldn't the situation become more troublesome by then?
Although he didn't finish speaking, Feng Yutian could roughly guess what he wanted to say, so he fell silent and didn't make a sound.This is not a solution. There are indeed many loopholes and it is not feasible.

Xiqiuzhi also had no choice but, anyway, Xue Qinglan was restrained by the aura of Monk Huineng, so she had to undo it first.He had questioned Monk Huineng just now, and he knew how to lift the restriction, and Xue Qinglan's spiritual energy recovered just by waving her hand.

As soon as her spiritual energy recovered, Xue Qinglan opened her eyes in a daze, staring blankly at the bed curtain, her eyes didn't move.

"Junior Sister?" Feng Yutian was the closest to her, and was the first to notice her wake up, and cried out in concern.And Xi Qiuzhi also found that she woke up and looked up at her.

The moment Xue Qinglan woke up, she did wake up briefly, and saw clearly that she was here.It's just that she only lived in this residential house for a day, and she was not familiar with the environment. She couldn't recognize where it was after a moment of sobriety, and then the illusion came back, and the surroundings changed back to the brick house 11 years ago. Tile-roofed house.

From the eyes of others, Xue Qinglan opened her eyes in a daze, and this daze lasted for several seconds without changing.

Feng Yutian turned to her, and tried to call her again: "Junior Sister, do you still recognize me?"

Xue Qinglan's gaze shifted from the bed curtain to him very slowly, the blankness in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a complex expression of love, hatred and guilt.

In her eyes, Feng Yutian's appearance has completely changed to that of the farmer's father, but she has escaped for a long time in the dream, her heart and her memory are tired, and she sees the inescapable shadow of the farmer again , she forgot to resist for a moment.

She could see the "farmer" talking to her, but she could only see his mouth moving, but she couldn't hear the sound, and naturally she couldn't hear Feng Yutian's real voice.

Xiqiuzhi reminded from the side: "Junior Brother, Junior Sister is now in an extraordinary period, you should be careful, so as not to be accidentally injured by her."

Feng Yutian knew that his senior brother had good intentions, so he nodded his head and prepared to get up and leave, but he didn't want to suddenly notice Xue Qinglan's beautiful eyes and shed tears.Tears were like rain, he had never seen her cry, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but he couldn't let go of the hand that was about to let go.

"This..." He hesitated, didn't he say that the Huanxincao would evoke the most fearful scene in people's hearts?Why Xue Qinglan's tears at this time seemed to be moved or sad, and it didn't seem to cry from being frightened at all.

He looked at Xi Qiuzhi suspiciously, and the latter could only shrug his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know anything.What he knows is only a rough idea. Everyone has different circumstances and sees different illusions. How can we generalize?

Just when the two of them were puzzled, Xue Qinglan made a move that surprised them.
