The light gray powder was sprinkled on the wound, and it quickly changed color.
Xiaodong wanted to ask but didn't dare to bother senior brother right now.
Jiang Fan said softly: "The medicine formulated by the elder brother is stronger than the one given by Tianji Mountain. You see, the poison has been pulled out."
When the powdered medicine became sticky and the color turned black like ink, Jiang Fan and Xiaodong scraped off the poisonous medicine dregs together.
While applying the new powdered medicine, Mo Chen told them: "Be careful not to get it on your body." And: "Don't throw away the powdered medicine."
Jiang Fan seriously agreed.
He poured all the dregs of the medicine into a jar, and later he had to rely on this to identify the poison.
Repeatedly, the last applied medicine could not get rid of the poison, but Zhai Wenhui's condition did not improve, Mo Chen would help him once in an hour, but this was barely maintained. Even Xiaodong could tell that if senior senior brother stopped performing his kung fu for him, senior fellow apprentice Zhai might not live until dawn.
With such serious injuries, they did everything they could. Whether they could save Senior Brother Zhai's life would have to wait for Master to come back.
A room away, Linglong was also drowsy, she hadn't woken up, but she was still restless in the coma, her brows were tightly frowned, maybe it was because of the unbearable pain in the wound.
Although medicine was applied to the wound, the elixir given to her also had the effect of healing and relieving pain.
Jiang Fan sat down by the couch, the accident happened so fast that people were caught off guard.
Hearing footsteps, Jiang Fan turned around and saw Xiaodong.
"There's nothing else going on here." Jiang Fan shook Xiaodong's hand and found that his hand was as cold as ice, so he took the thick cloak on the side and put it on him: "If you are sleepy, take a rest first. "
Xiaodong asked in a low voice: "Senior Sister, will she...will die?"
"Life should be fine."
Hearing these words, Xiaodong slowly tightened the cloak on his body, and sat down beside Jiang Fan.
"Then, what about Senior Brother Zhai?"
This time Jiang Fan stopped talking.
Xiaodong stopped asking.
He used to hear his master say that the storm outside is dangerous, but now he understands the meaning of the word dangerous.
Since they left Huiliu Mountain, it seems that they haven't encountered a good thing. First of all, so many familiar faces left them one by one to find another way out. Senior brother was planted and framed when he was in Tianji Mountain. Also, since he arrived in Beifu City, the weather never seemed to let the sun shine, bad things happened one after another.
But a few times ago, at least I knew who the killer was.
What happened today is confusing.
Who hurt Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zhai? Is it Chen Jingzhi? still…
Jiang Fan didn't hear Xiaodong's voice for a long time, turned his head to look, Xiaodong shrank into a ball, leaned against the chair motionless with his eyes closed.
Jiang Fan had been frightened too much in the past two days, so he instinctively reached out to check Xiaodong's breath.
It's okay, I can feel the warm breath on my fingers.
Jiang Fan slowly withdrew his hand, feeling that he was a bit frightened.
Mo Chen was standing at the door and saw his movements.
Jiang Fan quickly explained: "Junior brother fell asleep." Don't scare the senior brother, I really think something is wrong with the junior brother.
Mo Chen's expression didn't relax at all, he walked over and carefully looked at Xiaodong's appearance, but he couldn't be sure whether Xiaodong was really asleep for a while.
"Let him rest for a while." Jiang Fan was also very sleepy at the moment, but although he was suffering, he didn't feel sleepy. He also knew that the elder brother must have a hard time, and it would be a waste of money to keep losing his true essence to others.
But Mo Chen couldn't talk to him.
Xiaodong doesn't need to worry when he is awake, once he closes his eyes, Mo Chen will worry instead.
The city of Beifu seems to be calm on the surface, but there is already a dark tide in private. There must be a lot of lives in the past few days, but for some reason, these things have been covered up.
At this time, if the soul of the younger brother leaves the body, the danger is unpredictable.
Is he really asleep? Or did he go looking for something because he saw Linglong and Zhai Wenhui seriously injured and became angry for a while
Mo Chen changed Xiaodong's place, and when he put him on the couch, maybe because of the cold, Xiaodong shrank into a ball.
Mo Chen whispered twice in his ear, Xiaodong didn't wake up, but murmured vaguely in his throat.
If he can respond, then it shouldn't be the soul leaving the body, right
Mo Chen sat down beside him, his eyes were still fixed on Zhai Wenhui who was placed on the other side.
Linglong's life should be fine, but the damage to her meridian is too serious, even if the injury is cured, her cultivation might not be restored to the same level as before. For her, this may be worse than death.
And Zhai Wenhui... Mo Chen didn't think much about the future anymore.
Because of the current hurdle, Zhai Wenhui may not be able to pass it.
It's not that Mo Chen has never seen life and death, but his brothers and sisters are about to die one after another before his eyes, unless he has a heart of stone, who can remain indifferent
He glanced at Zhai Wenhui, who was pale, and only hoped that Master would come back soon.
Xiaodong next to him may have been dreaming, he struggled with his hands and feet, turned his head from side to side, and then seemed to fall asleep again.
Mo Chen put his hands back into the quilt, and hearing the wind outside sounded like someone was crying, he became more and more desolate.
Xiaodong called his senior brother in a daze. His voice was very vague, and Mo Chen was not the only one of his seniors, but Mo Chen felt that he was calling to him, so he responded in a low voice.
Xiaodong called again in his dream.
"Elder brother?"
As if someone answered from far away, Xiaodong recognized that it was Mo Chen's voice.
This made him feel more at ease.
Xiaodong can now distinguish what is a dream and what is the feeling of wandering away.
He was just wondering, where is he now
It was dark, dead silent, and surprisingly empty.
Is he here in Beifu City, or somewhere else
Except for the time of Burial in Sword Valley, every time Xiaodong takes a fugue, he never leaves his original place too far. The most recent time was when I saw Huang Wan dying in Tianji Mountain.
After arriving in Beifu City, this was the first time.
Is he still in the house
But it's not like... Xiaodong has been to most of the old house in the master's house, there is no such place.
Moreover, Xiaodong instinctively felt that it was not.
Not in the Li family's house.
Not even in Beifu City.
Beifu City is really too cold, it's surprisingly cold, it's really like a drop of water turns into ice, and it's about to turn hoarfrost in one breath. Because of the continuous wind and snow, even the bricks and stones felt a chill.
But the place where the ground is stepped on is not like a very cold place, it looks very dry. He bent down to take a closer look, and the ground under his feet didn't look like bricks or stones.
If it wasn't Beifu City, where did he come from
Xiaodong recalled the last thing he thought about before he fell asleep, and then he didn't stay where he was, but walked towards the direction he felt was higher.
Since it is difficult to tell the direction, as the saying goes, it is best for people to go to a higher place.
Before falling asleep, what he was thinking about was... Chen Jingzhi.
He was wondering if it was Chen Jingzhi who hurt Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zhai.
Could it be that this place is related to Chen Jingzhi
But there is nothing here, no people, no light, no sound, nothing can be seen. Xiaodong felt very strange here.
I feel that the dead silence here makes people uncomfortable, and I feel... very at ease.
It was as if someone told him that there was no danger here, and no one would be able to hurt him. Unlike the last time in the Burial Sword Valley, there were crises everywhere, and even he was almost injured in the formation of Shimen in the end.
But he doesn't want to stay here... where people can't even feel the passage of time. In other words, everything is frozen here, lifeless, without any vitality.
He didn't like it here, and he didn't want to be here.
What's more, there was no one here, and there was no connection with what he was anxious to find out.
However, he couldn't wake up for a while.
The road under my feet has become a step by step, and there seems to be a faint light ahead.
Xiaodong's spirit lifted.
It’s good to have light, it’s better than before. He walked for a long time just now, but there was no change at all around him. It felt like this empty land was endless, and he seemed to be standing still.
The ladder stretches upwards, as if it will never end.
Xiaodong heard his brother call him again in a trance, he stopped hesitantly.
Do you want to move on? Or do you want to wake yourself up
He heard a distinct call.
"Brother?"
A crack suddenly appeared in everything in front of him, as if pierced by something, a dazzling light suddenly burst from the crack, Xiaodong finally opened his eyes.
Mo Chen asked in a low voice: "Are you awake?"
Xiaodong nodded a little confused.
This was the first time he had escaped soberly from the dream.
He clearly knew that it was the elder brother who called him back.
"What did you dream about?"
Xiaodong shook his head.
This is not to lie to senior brother, but that he really didn't dream of anything. No one, nothing happened, not even sound or light.
"Has Master come back? How long have I been asleep?"
"Not long." Mo Chen said.
Master still hasn't come back
Xiaodong grabbed Mo Chen's sleeve worriedly: "Master, nothing will happen, right?"
It's not that Xiaodong has no confidence in Master. In his eyes, Master is profound, open-minded and calm. He has never met anyone who is much more powerful than Master.
But no amount of confidence can overcome the continuous accidents in the past two days.
If nothing happened, Master should have come back long ago.
"Don't worry, Master should be delayed by something and will come back."
Xiaodong didn't dare to question what Mo Chen said.
He lifted the quilt and went to see Senior Brother Zhai first.
... still nothing has improved, it looks like a corpse.
"Is there anything I can do?"
"Help me flip through the books together, and find out where this poison might come from." Mo Chen has already flipped through all the medicine books in his bag, and there is no poison like the poison Zhai Wenhui suffered from.
He also knows that there are too many poisons in the world, and there may be less than one-thousandth of what is recorded in the medicine books, but he has to try, maybe there are similar examples, then maybe he can find the antidote. (to be continued)
