The training platform was covered with a layer of snow, but no one had cleared it.
The heavy snow melted before it touched the eaves, leaving only a layer of wet mist because there was a fire lit in the house.
Jiang Ziyu fell asleep on the edge of the bed. He hadn't had much rest in these days, and he couldn't wait to open his eyes even if he heard the slightest noise.
"Cough... cough..." He was woken up by a cough.
Jiang Ziyu quickly opened his eyes.
Wen Shili woke up, his face as pale as ice and snow under the sunlight.
"Master!" Jiang Ziyu was both startled and frightened.
What’s surprising is that after so many days, Master finally woke up.
What they are afraid of is that this is the last glimmer of light from a dying person.
"Master..."
Wen Shili's eyebrows were like blades, cold and unkind. His eyes were slightly closed and his eyelashes were so long that they seemed to create a waning crescent on his face.
"Cough, cough, cough... I don't have much time left..." He coughed weakly and rapidly, his lips slightly parted, making a sound like ice and jade hitting each other: "... Ziyou, come here."
“Master…” Jiang Ziyu leaned over defenselessly.
The next second, Wen Shili stretched out the hand that Jiang Ziyu had wiped clean and dust-free every day. His cold fingertips lightly touched Jiang Ziyu's forehead, as if with pity and intimacy.
Instantly, several rays of brilliant light flew towards him and rushed to his heart.
There seemed to be thousands of blood-red threads on Wen Shili's fingertips, each of which was nailed into Jiang Ziyu's body.
Jiang Ziyu's body quickly withered and fell like a fallen leaf.
He widened his eyes in disbelief: "Master... why is this happening?"
“You are not human.” Wen Shili’s face was visibly reddened, and his spirit began to reshape and gradually stabilize. He said, “You are a spare body that I refined using the South China Sea mermaid wood and my heart blood.”
Several people who were concentrating on watching the image were also shocked.
Yin Ci was impatient, and he grabbed Yin Buqi's arm and asked anxiously, "What does he mean by this! Brother, what is a spare body?"
Yin Buqi said, "There is a line written on this tombstone that says Wen Shili quelled the riot in the South China Sea. I think the mermaid wood was obtained at that time."
"I've read in ancient books that the South China Sea Mermaid Mummies are the treasure of the South China Sea. It takes a hundred years for one to grow. They can be transformed into a flesh body, which is equivalent to a human-shaped empty shell. Then, he used some kind of magic to combine his own flesh and blood essence with this empty shell to get a person who looks like a living person. In fact, it is just a puppet used to revive his dead body when his spiritual form is broken."
"How can Senior Brother not be a human being..." Yin Ci's face flushed, and he pinched his sleeves tightly, and slowly loosened them after a while, "Senior Brother is just like us, he is obviously a flesh and blood person!"
"Ouch..."
In the picture, Jiang Ziyou knelt on the ground in a state of embarrassment, and fell at the feet of Wen Shili: "Master... My disciple is in pain... My disciple is in pain, ah ah ah—"
The voice was not loud, but it was filled with extreme depression and grief.
He shrank very small, as if he had turned into a very weak ball, and he wished he could disappear from this world.
"Master... you lied to me, didn't you? I am a human being, Master... look at me..."
