Mr. Baili was lying on the cold adobe bricks. His wide-open eyes were lifeless, but his stiff facial muscles still retained an almost crazy joy.
Fat white maggots covered in pus and blood crawled out of his eye sockets.
Lin Xixue closed her eyes and calmed down her mind.
This is false, these are all false, Mr. Baili specifically told me not to believe it, no matter what happens, don’t believe it.
Calm down, be sure to calm down.
Lin Xixue didn't know how long she had been waiting. She only heard the watchman's clapper ringing again and again outside the house, and the sunset spread an orange-red light.
The maggots had eaten away all the eyeballs in Mr. Baili's eyes, leaving only two black holes. Most of his nose had disappeared, and several gray moths flew out of his mouth.
The gray scale powder rubbed against his lips, and his lips faced the light of the setting sun, showing an extremely dark color like chestnut skin.
Lin Xixue tentatively called: "Mr. Baili?"
She didn't get any response, but she still didn't dare to act rashly.
If what I am experiencing now is a hallucination, as long as I don't pull out the silver needle, Mr. Baili will give me the fourth shot sooner or later.
Lin Xixue was still a little hesitant. Mr. Baili told him not to believe anything he saw before he finished thirteen needles.
If after ten days and a half, Mr. Baili has not received the fourth injection, then Mr. Baili must have really left.
"I want to build a temple, but this temple was destroyed because of me. And if it weren't for this temple, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to wake up from your serious injury."
Bai Qing's tone was very indifferent, as if she didn't care about Mr. Baili's death.
Although Lin Xixue is not opposed to cremation, it can even be said that in her world view, cremation is a more common and efficient method.
Since objectively he did help him, he should fulfill his promise to help him rebuild the temple.
"If you don't believe me, I've already told you that it's just a waste of time for you to come back to find this worldly doctor." Bai Qing activated the restraint, then picked up Lin Xixue and placed her on the horseback outside the door.
Maybe this is just an illusion that disturbs my mood. If I act rashly at this time, I am afraid that all my previous efforts will be wasted.
"These thirteen acupuncture needles can only deal with minor illnesses and evils in the world, but you are so thoroughly infiltrated by evil spirits. Not only is this method useless to you, it will also backfire on the person who applies the acupuncture."
However, not long after, Bai Qing also returned to the medicine shop. She looked at Mr. Baili lying on the ground and was not surprised. She burned the body clean with real fire.
She walked around the ashes and corpse oil after burning and came to the back hall. When she saw the three silver needles stuck in Lin Xixue's body, she reached out to pull them out.
"I don't know, it just doesn't work." Bai Qing's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Lin Xixue was speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence she said again: "Even so, people in the secular world insist on being buried in peace, so you just burned Mr.'s body with a fire?"
"In order to save others, he took the initiative to introduce the corpse energy of others into his own body. I don't need to burn his corpse with real fire. Do I have to wait for the corpse to transform?"
She didn't force it anymore, after all, she had previously found a large box full of hidden silver in the small courtyard, which was definitely more than enough to repair a temple.
"Since you knew this acupuncture method was useless, why didn't you tell Mr. Baili in advance, but instead watched him suffer the backlash?"
Or is this not an illusion and Mr. Baili is really dead?
However, as long as you are not sure whether this is an illusion or not, it will be fine as long as you don't pull out the silver needles on your body.
"I have contacted my fellow disciples through Yunzhou Mansion a few days ago. The master's sect issued an urgent order. All disciples who have gone out must return to the sect immediately without delay."
Bai Qing led the horse and walked out of the alley, explaining to Lin Xixue as she walked.
"right."
Bai Qing nodded and released the restraints on her body.
"Tell me first if you can promise me not to guarantee it."
"In that case, then you can lift my restriction and I will contact the craftsmen to repair it myself."
"So you want to take me back to Lantau Island now?"
"If I don't leave, I won't believe anything until the thirteen needles are inserted."
She had been misled by the auditory hallucination before, and she couldn't tell the owner's position for a while, but now that Bai Qing has woken up, it means that the owner has indeed helped her objectively.
"Why is this?" Lin Xixue was quite puzzled. Could it be that this person from Lantau Mountain was not a disciple of Taoism?
"Before leaving Xinliang City, there is one more thing I need your help with." Lin Xixue stated her request straightforwardly.
"So, it was obviously his original intention to dispose of his body properly and not cause trouble to others."
"He is a mortal who has been exposed to so much corpse energy. If it is not handled properly, it will be a matter of time before he turns into a corpse. It seems that he himself knows this very well and does not want to injure others, so he dismissed the young apprentice in advance."
"Whether he does it or not, he won't be able to survive today. Why not follow his wishes and let him implement his so-called great medical method without any regrets?"
After hearing this explanation, Lin Xixue couldn't help but feel a little angry. Bai Qing had known that this acupuncture method was useless and would let Mr. Baili kill herself. She could have tried to dissuade him in advance, but she didn't say anything.
Besides, I have been waiting for so long, and even got tied up on horseback by Bai Qing, but I still haven't been able to get the fourth shot.
When her thoughts came to this point, Lin Xixue suddenly thought of something again.
But why does Lantau Island have so many weird rules? This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. The reasons are not clearly explained.
But he only took three injections before the evil energy came back to bite him and he died. So is it just an illusion now?
"So you are not going to pursue the meat gold case anymore?"
Lin Xixue was even more confused. Previously, she felt that the method used by Bai Qing was the closest to the right path of the Immortal Sect that she knew.
"No." Bai Qing refused simply. "The iron rule of the sect is that it is strictly forbidden for disciples to have any cause and effect with temples, Zen monasteries, Taoist temples and other things. Whether it is repairing, visiting, or receiving incense, it is not allowed."
"The art of looking at qi is the basic skill of a monk. This Mr. Baili's body is too heavy with death. He only relies on his obsession to hold on for a breath. Otherwise, he should have gone two days ago."
But before that, she heard the conversation between the two cobblers of the Jingling Department and the corpse exterminator, and she knew that this world was different from the previous life. There seemed to be certain rules that dictated that the corpse must be kept intact and buried in peace.
Lin Xixue pulled away and hid. She was not sure whether the Bai Qing in front of her was real or fake. Maybe she was transformed by some strange power and tried to pull out the silver needle and interrupt the treatment process?
Bai Qing sighed speechlessly and said, "You can do it if you want. You said you wanted to write back to Liang Cheng and keep the appointment. Now that you have gone to the appointment and the person is dead, you can go."
Previously, the Wuzeng Temple was damaged because of her, and she had promised in her heart that she would build a larger temple for the master and the embroidery lady.
She wasn't afraid that Lin Xixue would just disappear. After all, after she woke up, she tracked her through the forbidden induction, and finally took Lin Xixue back from the hands of Sanyuan Guan.
Lin Xixue got off her horse and the two walked out of the alley side by side and returned to the cross street in the city.
In the busy city, Lin Xixue suddenly heard a somewhat panicked female voice shouting.
"Help! Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and boron change from odd to even. The symbols look at the quadrants! Can anyone understand what I'm talking about?"
