I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

After Jie Wuyi's tracing back to the source, Ji Qinglin felt suddenly enlightened, only to realize that Xie Wuyi said that he was "worried for nothing" was really wronged.

After a while, he quietly raised his eyes to look at Jie Wuyi, wondering if it was an illusion, he always felt that when the two of them were alone, Xie Wuyi seemed to be different from usual, as if no matter what he asked, he would answer patiently, and Not as concise and concise as others, but meticulous and detailed.

Xie Wuyi sipped a cup of tea slowly, let Ji Qinglin think for a while, and then said softly: "Okay, stop thinking about it, go to sleep."

Ji Qinglin nodded kindly, stood up and walked into the room with Xie Wuzhi.

In the next few days, Xie Wuyi and Ji Qinglin immersed themselves in looking up the records about the dragon's blood tree in the ancient topography of Qidi, looking for a way to completely destroy it. The specific process of the change, while Ulanda was overwhelmed by the announcement of Qidi.

Qidi is different from other places. There are many mountains and forests here, and many people live in the mountains. If you want to spread something, you can't solve it by just posting a notice.

Although Ulanda brought a lot of soldiers, it still took a lot of effort to spread the warning throughout the Qidi.

During this period of time, several new "epidemic patients" were reported, and this time they were no longer gathered in Qinan, but scattered in different directions, making it impossible to guard against.

It can be seen from this that the reason why the black-robed people chose to perform the soul-sealing technique on a large scale in Qidi is not only because it is close to Nanshan Mountain and it is convenient to get pine needles, but also because Qidi is relatively closed compared to other places where people live together. The slow spread just provides them with the opportunity to see each other.

At the same time, the dried dragon's blood taken by Xiying also had an effect. Although the wrinkles on his body did not recede and heal, they did not continue to deteriorate, and the rotten smell all over his body almost disappeared.

According to Xiying, this is the effect Zuo Fushi gave him.

It can be seen that Xiying is very excited about this. Previously, he felt that he would die because of the failure of the mission, but now he has turned around. Naturally, there is a sense of narrow escape.

After the excitement passed, he pestered Ji Qinglin every day, saying that he wanted to repay them for not only refusing to kill but also to save them with medicine.

In fact, Ji Qinglin didn't think this was any kind of kindness, but Xiying couldn't hold back Xiying's soft-spokenness, thinking that he had dealt with medicinal materials before being sealed, so he discussed with Xie Wuyi to send him to Jiyuan Hall in Chi Ruogu, Yuzhou Let's fight.

Xie Wuyi had no objection to this, but when Ji Qinglin proposed to distribute the dried dragon blood to the victims in Qidi who were still under the soul-sealing technique, Xie Wuyi stopped him, telling him to wait. .

Ji Qinglin didn't understand why he had to wait, but Xie Wuyi didn't explain further. Ji Qinglin knew that he must have his own considerations, so he didn't insist anymore.

Then, on the morning when Xiying was about to leave for Yuzhou, something happened suddenly.

When Ji Qinglin and the others were invited by the soldiers to go to Xiying's room, Xiying sat under the window expressionlessly, with her arms around her knees, staring blankly ahead.

The table in the room was overturned on all fours, and the cups were broken on the ground. It looked as if someone had just had a fight here.

Ji Qinglin bypassed the pile of mess and walked quickly to Xiying, bent down and stretched out his hand to shake in front of him.

Xiying didn't move, not even twitching her eyelashes.

"Xiying?" Ji Qinglin called out.

Xiying didn't respond, and was still sitting there blankly, so Ji Qinglin could only raise his voice and shout again: "Xiying!"

This time, Xiying's Adam's apple finally moved, and said hoarsely, "I can hear you."

When he said this, his eyes didn't move at all, as if they were frozen.

Ji Qinglin frowned and said, "Your eyes..."

Xiying said, "I'm blind."

Ji Qinglin felt a "thump" in his heart, turned his head and looked at Xie Wuyi and the others, and asked in surprise, "How could this be? Could it be that we guessed wrong, the medicine given to him by the left deputy envoy was not made of dragon's blood?"

Ulanda's face was also a bit solemn, and he looked at Xiying and said, "When you took the medicine that day, did you ever feel that the taste of this medicine was different from the one given to you by Deputy Envoy Zuo?"

Xiying pursed her lips and shook her head stiffly. Several people thought he meant the same, but unexpectedly he said, "I can't taste it."

Everyone was stunned, and Ulanda asked strangely, "Why can't you taste it? Didn't you say that the only thing you lost was the sense of smell after being poisoned by the snake venom? Could it be that the sense of taste is also out of order?"

Xiying was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Originally there wasn't any, but after the Deputy Envoy Zuo gave me a pill, I couldn't taste it anymore."

As soon as this remark came out, how could a few people not understand the connection?

After being sealed, he lost his sense of smell first, lost his sense of taste after taking the medicine for the first time, and now the result of taking the medicine for the second time is blindness. Obviously this is not because there is a "problem" with dragon's blood jerky, but because of taking dragon's blood jerky. That's exactly what happened!

Ji Qinglin froze on the spot, he suddenly remembered that when Xiying was in the forest that day, he said that his accomplices were either deaf or dumb, and that it was not the first time for them to take on the task.

At that time, Ji Qinglin and the others were still surprised why Deputy Zuo had found such a group of people who could not hear or speak for his own use, but now the truth finally came to light—these people were not deaf and dumb at first, but were taking medicine several times. After the dragon's blood was exhausted, he lost the ability to hear and speak.

It may not only be deaf-mute, they may have already lost their sense of smell and taste, just like Xiying.

At the beginning of sealing the soul, one loses one sense, and then loses another sense every time one takes dragon's blood jelly. This is the price of "reviving the dead" and "not rotting the body".

Ji Qinglin could think of this, and the others could naturally think of it too. At this moment, Ulanda frowned and asked Xiying: "Why didn't you say such an important thing at the time?"

Xiying opened his mouth and closed it again, and after a long time, he replied like a broken jar: "I don't think this matter is so important. Compared with the rotten body and the smelly smell, it's nothing if you can't taste it." What!?"

Ulanda was speechless, and the rest of the people had to admit that what Xiying said was correct. For a person whose body is rotting and smelling, as long as the medicine can stop the rot, make the rot disappear, and lose the sense of taste Seems like nothing at all.

But, now he's not just losing his sense of taste.

He is blind.

And if he takes Dragon's Blood Drain again in the future, he wonders if he will become deaf and dumb like his companions.

When a person loses all five senses, what will the world look like to him?Will he still be alive by then?

There was a dead silence in the room, and even Yin Luo, who was always eloquent, didn't seem to know what to say at this time, but Xi Ying spoke first: "Can you tell me what the left deputy envoy did to me?"

At this time, it seems that it is not too much for him to make such a request. Ulanda looked at Xie Wuyi as if asking for instructions, and Xie Wuyi nodded. The reasons were told to him in detail.

For most people in the world, "soul essence" and "reincarnation" are just legends, they may believe it, or they may never believe it.

Xiying has never heard people confirm the existence of these things so conclusively, but what he has encountered recently has dragged him out of his inherent cognition, so listening to Ulanda's words at this time, he seems to be Very calm.

After Ulanda finished speaking, several people were waiting for Xiying's reaction, but they saw that he just sat there quietly, and moved his lips after a long time and said: "So, in fact, I should have died a long time ago, right?"

No one answered him, everyone knew it was the truth, but at this moment, they really couldn't bear to say the word "right".

Xiying didn't seem to care whether they answered or not, and continued on his own: "So, even if my body doesn't rot anymore, I will eventually become a person who can't hear, see, or speak, right?"

Ulanda squatted in front of him, lowered his head and sighed, put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it hard.

Xiying suddenly smiled lightly, as if powerless and self-deprecating, after the smile, he said softly: "General."

Ulanda didn't expect him to call her suddenly, looked up at him and said, "Huh?"

Xiying said, "I'm sorry."

Ulanda was startled for a moment, then realized that he was apologizing for the previous assassination, smiled wryly and shook his head and said: "There is nothing to be sorry for, anyway, you didn't succeed, and the ants are still alive, after all, you are also being used. I didn’t take it to heart, so don’t think too much about it.”

Xiying hooked the corners of her mouth stiffly, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said: "You all go back, I want to be alone for a while."

Ulanda patted him on the shoulder and stood up. They went out of the house without hesitation, called a soldier to clean up the debris on the ground, and then did not disturb him again.

Several people walked silently among the valley villages, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull for a moment. After walking a few steps, Ji Qinglin suddenly turned to look at Xie Wuyi and asked, "Did you know this would happen?"

A few days ago, when the dragon's blood jerky had just started to take effect, Ji Qinglin had planned to distribute all the dragon's blood jerky they brought down from the mountain to the people whose souls were sealed, but Xie Wuyi stopped him, saying that he was going to wait for a while. wait.

At that time, he didn't understand why he had to wait, but now, how could he still not understand?

Thinking about the night when he came back from Nanshan, Xie Wuyi once said that even if dried dragon's blood can suppress decay, there must be other hidden dangers, which is why the Five Gods did not choose to obtain the "immortal body" by sealing their souls.

At that time Ji Qinglin only thought he was guessing, but now it seems that Xie Wuyi should have discovered some clues.

In fact, these clues are not hidden. Xiying's loss of sense of smell after being "rescued", and the deafness and dumbness of those people in black robes, these details that he ignored at the time, are so strange when he recalls them now.

After Ji Qinglin asked this sentence, before Xie Wuyi could speak, Yinluo said first, "How is it possible? Isn't Xianzun always with you all the time? How could he know what you don't know?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ulanda also echoed: "That's right, we were all around when Ri Xiying confessed that day, and he didn't say anything to the ancestor alone. Could it be that he can also transmit sound with secret methods?"

Ji Qinglin was dumbfounded by the two people's continuous singing, and said with a helpless smile: "What are you doing? I'm just asking casually, and I'm not doubting anything. I just think that you guys are smarter than me. Then you can know the whole leopard."

At this moment, Yinluo and Yinluo also realized that they seemed to be trying to cover up just now, so they closed their mouths embarrassingly.

Xie Wuyi turned his head to look at Ji Qinglin, and said calmly: "It was just a speculation, not sure, so I didn't tell you for the time being."

Ji Qinglin nodded in understanding and said, "I understand, I didn't mean to blame you at all."

In fact, not only did Ji Qinglin not blame him for not saying it earlier, he was even a little thankful that he didn't tell himself that speculation.

If Ji Qinglin had known that taking Dragon's Blood Jerky might cause him to lose his senses, he might have struggled with the question of whether to give Xiying or not.

If you don't take it, you can only watch him continue to rot, and if you take it, you may lose your senses. No matter what you choose, it seems like a dead end.

Thinking about it, Ji Qinglin sighed slightly and said, "Fortunately, you are careful enough, otherwise those dragon's blood jerky are probably already in the stomachs of the common people."

Compared with the decay of the body, losing a sense may not be a big deal, but those soul-sealed people have already experienced a disaster. If they mistakenly think that dragon's blood is a life-saving medicine, they find themselves deaf, blind or If you are dumb, it is another torture to fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

Who knows, after hearing this, Xie Wuyi said firmly, "No, the dragon's blood will still be released."

Ji Qinglin was taken aback, looked at him in surprise and said, "Why?"
