"How come you have a tumor after just two days of not seeing you? It's treatable, right? Medicine is so advanced now!" Wu Zhicong asked, looking at my expression. I shook my head and said, "The doctor said I only have half a month to live." "Which bastard doctor misdiagnosed you? Damn it, you are in such good health, how could you have cancer?" Wu Zhicong yelled. Qin Qing was still reading a book next to me at the time. I coughed and said, "There are people next to us, please be more restrained."
"Hey, Xiaojiu brother, you are really good. Where did you go to coax a little girl again?" Wu Zhicong is really heartless. When he saw Qin Qing next to me, his eyes were shining and he gave me a sly smile. But then he was stunned and pulled my collar and said, "It's okay for you to flirt with Sister Qiuxiang and Sister Su, but now you are coaxing a little girl again, what's the big deal?"
"Don't call her a little girl, you should call her ancestor." I looked at Wu Zhicong with contempt and said, Wu Zhicong rolled his eyes at me and said, "Come on, you call a little girl ancestor, I really admire you."
"Hey, hey, something's wrong. You were asking me about my illness, but why did you end up talking about girls?" I reminded him. It seemed like I had gone off topic.
When I reminded Wu Zhicong, he looked worried again and asked, "Brother Xiaojiu, how about I drag that doctor in and give him a good beating and make him tell you that you don't have cancer and it was a misdiagnosis?"
"Is it useful?"
"Just feel better."
"Get lost." I said to him, "I just asked you to pay my medical expenses. There is one more thing. During this period of time, you have to look up ancient books for me. It doesn't matter what book it is. Anyway, you have to find out how to use the Seven Star Lamp. My life is in your hands now. If you can find out how to use the Seven Star Lamp before I die, maybe I can be saved. If not, I will really be dead."
"Seven-Star Lamp? Are those the seven lamps I got last time in my hometown? Is this thing reliable?" Wu Zhicong asked doubtfully.
"It's more reliable than you."
In the following days, Wu Zhicong actually bought a lot of ancient books to read. He came from a family of tomb robbers, and tomb robbing requires some basic knowledge of ancient studies and ancient culture, so he could understand ancient texts. What's more, Qin Qing was there. Qin Qing was really an old antique, and Wu Zhicong could ask Qin Qing if there was something he didn't understand.
Just like that, I lay in the bed in a daze, Wu Zhicong was flipping through a pile of books in the next bed, and Qin Qing was reading a history book by herself. Wu Zhicong originally wanted to call Xiaoruo, Xiaoling and Fang Pengguang to come over, but I didn't let him do that, mainly because I didn't want to make the three of them worry, and Su Daji over there also needed someone to take care of her. Now they basically work in three shifts, taking care of Su Daji 24 hours a day. Of course, when Wu Zhicong was still there, they worked in four shifts.
Time passed day by day. I was lying in bed, watching Wu Zhicong flipping through ancient books beside me, and I was anxious. Fifteen days passed. After seven days, Qin Qing also helped me flip through the books. It was a pity that I couldn't understand ancient Chinese, otherwise I would have had to help. Time passed day by day. The doctor also came to ask me if I wanted to have chemotherapy, but I knew that chemotherapy was useless. The only thing that could save me now was the Seven Star Lamp, so I decisively refused. My body was getting worse day by day, and I finally understood the pain of a cancer patient. I felt a tingling all over my body, my feet began to feel cold, and I felt a pain in my head, as if something in my head was growing rapidly. This feeling was horrible. I also felt more than ever that death was so close to me, as if I would die at any time. The pain in my head was unbearable.
Finally, on the eleventh day, perhaps God could not bear to let me die, and finally allowed Wu Zhicong to find a detailed introduction to the Seven Star Lamp.
This article is recorded in a not very famous ancient Chinese book. It is not worth mentioning who wrote it. It says that the Seven Star Lamps actually refer to seven acupuncture points in the human body. The Tanzhong acupoint is the Pinlang star lamp; the acupoint in front of the Tianmu acupoint is the Jumen star lamp; the Niwan acupoint is the Lucun star lamp; the Jiaji acupoint is the Wenqu star lamp; the Mingmen acupoint is the Lianzhen star lamp; the Dantianqi acupoint is the Wuqu star lamp; the Haidi acupoint is the Tiangang star lamp;
The Seven Star Lamp must be used to open up the seven acupuncture points in the human body in order to change one's destiny and increase one's lifespan. There is not only one way to use the Seven Star Lamp. There are several methods, including magic power to prolong life, praying, and Baijia Rice to prolong life. The first two are not introduced in detail, only Baijia Rice to prolong life has a more detailed introduction.
The first step to extend life with rice from a hundred families is to light lamps for the ancestors. Seven lamps should be lit by one's relatives and elders. If relatives are not around, a centenarian must be found. The second step is to borrow rice from a hundred families. Each household needs a little rice. A hundred families are required. The third step is to light candles at the door and scatter rice. The last step is to ensure that the main soul lamp of the Seven Star Lamp cannot be extinguished within three days. If the lamp is extinguished, everything is over.
This is the solution Wu Zhicong found. To be honest, I had no strength left in my body at that time, and my head was aching so much. I was now worried whether I could hold on for three days. It was too difficult to light the Seven-Star Lamp for three days without it going out. And the most important thing was not to think that these three days would be safe and sound. Borrowing life from heaven was against the will of heaven, and would be envied by all kinds of demons and monsters. Especially when it was about to be completed and the borrowing of life was successful, the jealousy of the demons would make the demons within a ten-mile radius rush over and tear me to pieces. And not only that, because the person who had just borrowed life successfully was full of life in the body, if the demons ate me, they could gain ten years of Taoism for nothing, just like Tang Monk's meat.
To sum it up in one sentence, borrowing life is not like borrowing money, borrowing life is very dangerous!
But what choice did I have at that time? I was so weak that I might not even be able to walk.
"Brother Xiaojiu, I found a way. You don't have to die!" Wu Zhicong shouted at me with great joy after getting this method. He didn't think about how dangerous this method was. I nodded and said, "Congzi, take my phone and call Cui Zuofei and ask him to come over to help. Light the lamp first. He should be able to arrive before the third day. I think the last day should be very dangerous. You won't be able to hold on by then. You'll have no choice but to ask him to come over to help."
"Fuck, you are looking down on me. Don't worry, I won't let those monsters eat you. I even have the Yin-Yang Eyes. Don't worry, Brother Xiaojiu, I won't let you die!" Although Wu Zhicong said that, he still picked up the phone and dialed Cui Zuofei.
