In the hall sat an old man, dressed in a green robe with wide sleeves fluttering. At this moment, his face was tense and full of wrinkles, giving the impression of being very difficult to talk to.
The sharp gaze of the Valley master swept over Chu Zheng and landed on Li Tang.
Who watches?
The first zither points towards Li Tang.
The master of the valley rose and walked with his hands behind his back into the inner room, "Come in with me."
Li Tang glanced at Chu Zheng and followed the valley master to the inner room. Xiao Tong came in to pour tea for Chu Zheng and also offered some snacks.
About a quarter of an hour later, the little boy named Xiaozhu came out and invited her in.
Li Tang lay bare-chested on the soft couch, her eyes tightly closed, unconscious.
You are calm. The master of the valley was purifying his hands when the first zither came in without making any sound. He pricked it again.
Can it be cured?
The Valley master took the handkerchief from the little boy's hand, wiped his hands and threw it onto the table. "The Soul-Destroying Nail has been in his body for several years. At the earliest, it will be half a year, and at the latest, it will be a year. He will die."
Chu Zheng still said the same thing: "Can it be cured?"
Hey, you little girl! The valley master blew his beard and glared, "Are you polite?"
"Take money for business and conduct fair transactions."
"..."
The master of the valley struck the zither twice in mid-air, so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he said angrily, "There is no disease in this world that I can't cure."
"Can you cure poverty?" Chu Zheng asked with a serious expression.
Valley Master: "..." Get out! Get out of my Bai Ying Valley! I'm not going to cure it!
"Master Valley, calm down. We've collected all the spirit stones." Xiao Zhu held the master of the valley.
The valley master instantly calmed down.
He patted the hem of his clothes in a pretentious manner and said, "He is a demon."
"The Demon-slaying nail was originally designed for the demons." " What nonsense!
"..." The Valley master clearly sensed Chu Zheng's underlying message. The anger that had just subsided suddenly flared up again.
All those who came to Bai Ying Valley for medical treatment were so respectful. This little girl... Forget it. For the sake of the spirit stones.
To remove the demon-slaying nail, the cooperation of a demon race is needed. The Valley master snorted coldly, "Go and find a demon, and I'll be able to deal with it."
"Oh." Chu Zheng pointed at himself and said, "I am."
The master of the valley frowned and muttered, "No wonder the bamboo forest reacted."
The Valley Master seems to have no prejudice against the demons, just as he treats ordinary patients.
"Since you are a demon, it's easy, Xiaozhu. Go and get ready." The valley master whispered a few words in Xiaozhu's ear.
Xiao Zhu agreed to leave.
"Demons..." I haven't seen the demons for a long time. The Valley master made a sound and said, "It's really unexpected. Two came and there was one who was half human and half demon. How strange, how strange..."
The master of the Valley suddenly turned his head and said, "Could this be your son?"
Chu Zheng had a cold expression and said, "There's no such son." Weak chicken.
Valley Master: "..."
-
It takes Xiaozhu several days to prepare things. Chuzheng has been living in the valley these days.
The valley master didn't know what he had done to Li Tang and never woke up. If it weren't for his normal breathing, Chu Zheng would have thought he had passed away.
On the fifth day, Xiaozhu came to invite her.
They entered a cave. There was a platform in the cave. The master of the valley asked Chu Zheng to place Li Tang on the platform, and she stood over to Li Tang's head.
"Removing the demon-slaying nail will cause his vitality to continuously drain away. You must use the demonic energy to preserve his life." " The valley master, while preparing things, said, "If you can't protect his life, he will die."
"Um."
Gu Zhu stood at the foot of Li Tang. He glanced at Chu Zheng and said, "Little girl, this is very exhausting. Can you hold on?"
Chu Zheng nodded: "Let's start." How could it not work! If you are a girl, you can't do it!
"Humph! If anything unexpected happens, you'll be responsible for the consequences!"
The master of the Valley waved his sleeve and made a seal in his hand. Suddenly, the platform lit up with a beam of light, submerging Li Tang inside.
Chu Zheng, as the Valley master had said, began to infuse demonic energy into Li Tang when the light was on.
The light on the platform gradually dimmed. Chu Zheng could see that Li Tang's shoulder began to bleed, and the first demon-slaying nail slowly emerged from the wound.
Ding
The blood-stained demon-slaying nail fell onto the platform. The Valley Master continued to take the demon-slaying nail from the other side.
By the time of the third one, cold sweat had already appeared on the valley Master's forehead and his movements had slowed down significantly.
The last demon-slaying nail emerged and left Li Tang's knee.
The master of the Valley immediately rushed onto the platform, applied a few dots to Li Tang's wounds to stop the bleeding, and fed him two pills.
There are only four demon-slaying nails. If there were five, he would probably have died long ago. The valley master signaled that Chu Zheng could stop. But upon seeing Chu Zheng's unchanging expression, he immediately lost his temper.
This little girl is quite amazing!
"Five Roots?"
The valley master tapped on Li Tang's heart.
The valley master stood up and said, "If he wakes up within three days, everything will be fine. If he doesn't..."
How about it?
The valley master snorted coldly, "Let's dig a hole and bury it."
Chu Zheng: "..." Should she dig a pit? Don't you bury it here?
[ Little Sister!! ]
-
Five days later.
"Xiao Zhu, why is this moldy?"
"Master of the Valley, it rained a few days ago. Maybe it wasn't dried up..."
It can't be used again. You go and find a substitute.
"Master of the Valley, isn't this not good..."
What's wrong with that? It won't kill anyone.
"... Yes.
The master of the valley threw away the moldy and rotten herbs in his hand and was about to enter the house with his hands behind his back. When he turned his head, he saw the young man standing at the door.
"Oh, awake?"
The young man walked out of the room with some difficulty: "Have all the soul-destroying nails in my body been taken out?"
"Are you questioning my ability?" The valley master is not happy.
"Dare not." The young man lowered his head slightly and said, "Thank you, Master Valley."
"Humph." The valley master walked to the other side and said unwillingly, "If it weren't for that little girl this time, you wouldn't have survived either."
What about her?
The valley master said sarcastically, "I've gone to dig a hole for you."
Li Tang: "??"
Under Xiaozhu's guidance, Li Tang found Chu Zheng. She wasn't digging a pit, but was watching the two children do so.
"Finally dug it up!" Two little children climbed into the pit with white things in their arms: "It's so hard to dig. It's so deep."
Two children were about to fill the pit when they were stopped by Chu Zheng. Chu Zheng gave them a spirit stone. The two children exchanged a glance and ran away, holding the white mass, leaving Chu Zheng alone.
She stood by the pit, not knowing what she wanted to do.
"Cough..." Li Tang gave a light cough.
Chu Zheng turned around and asked, "Why are you awake?"
"..." Why can't he wake up? From what she said, you're quite disappointed?
I've dug all the pits for you. Chu Zheng pointed at the pit and said, "It's a waste of my time."
"..." When he didn't see, was it those two children who dug it up?
Li Tang walked over and took a look into the pit. "You want to bury me?"
The valley master said that if you don't wake up in three days, you can be buried. I waited one more day. I've already been very kind to you!
Li Tang choked. Were these two people conspiring to take advantage of him? If he really doesn't wake up, is she really going to bury herself?
Li Tang inhaled and then exhaled a mouthful of stale air, saying, "The demon-slaying nail has been taken out. What do you want me to do? Can you say it now?"
What to do? Chu Zheng asked.
Li Tang: "..."
This question should be asked to you. What do you want me to do?
