Chapter 1: Twelve hours before death

That night.

Wei Dynasty, Pingan County.

The biting cold made Xu Qingxiao wake up instantly.

Before Xu Qingxiao could react, all kinds of information flooded into her mind like a torrent.

In the Wei Dynasty, the female emperor ascended the throne.

The government and the public are in turmoil, and demons are in chaos.

Cultivation of immortals and magic, heavenly guards in royal robes.

As all kinds of strange information poured into his mind, Xu Qingxiao fell into a drowsy state again.

I don't know how much time passed.

A series of gentle sounds came from outside the door, causing Xu Qingxiao to slowly wake up.

"Doctor, is Qingxiao's injury serious?"

"Yes, doctor, you have been shaking your head and saying nothing since you saw Qingxiao's injuries. Just tell me."

A slightly curious voice sounded.

An old voice couldn't help but respond.

"This child was injured by evil spirits, and Yin Ming Qi entered his body. This is an extremely cold thing. Once it enters the body, it will damage the muscles and veins, and then cause the Qi and blood to coagulate, leading to death."

An old voice sounded.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

"Then how long can Qingxiao live?"

Another voice sounded, asking the doctor.

After a while, the old voice sounded again.

"At most twelve hours."

The voice fell, and a deathly silence fell outside the door.

And inside the room.

Xu Qingxiao also slowly opened her eyes.

His consciousness was completely restored, and his eyes were full of depression.

Not just because he had just been sentenced to death.

The most important thing is that I have just traveled through time, and my life span is less than twelve hours?

How can this not be uncomfortable?

Yes, Xu Qingxiao is a time traveler.

Through the memories in her mind, Xu Qingxiao learned that she had traveled through time to a person with the same name.

Living in a world where demons are rampant.

He was a government official in Ping'an County during the Wei Dynasty.

He was only twenty years old, and he was already living a pretty good life. In a few more years, he would be able to become a police officer, a serious official.

What I didn't expect was that just two days ago, a vicious fugitive fled all the way to Ping'an County.

The superiors ordered a thorough investigation, but the original owner was extremely unlucky. He happened to find the fugitive, but was slapped away with a palm. He was infected with Yin Ming Qi and was about to die.

In the words of the doctor, there are still twelve hours left to live.

But Xu Qingxiao felt that she might not live for twelve hours.

Because there was a burst of coldness in the body, the blood seemed to be frozen and unable to circulate.

Such a hellish start made Xu Qingxiao feel melancholy.

"Brain pain."

"Even if you are a loser at the beginning, I promise someone to admit it. You can only live for twelve hours at the beginning? How can you play this?"

Xu Qingxiao had a severe toothache.

Because through memory, Xu Qingxiao also knew his identity information. He was just an ordinary government servant. He had an orphan background in Ping'an County. It was standard for him to have neither father nor mother, and he had no relatives.

If the county boss hadn't felt sorry for him and gave him a job, he would probably have been a handyman for others.

With such an identity and background, even if you know how to crack it, you are still powerless.

If you want money, there is no money, if you want people, there is no one.

To say it was a hellish start is an understatement.

Squeak!

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Several figures appeared in Xu Qingxiao's eyes.

They are colleagues from the county, all of whom are government officials. The leader is Agent Chen, who is wearing a blue coat and a square hat, with a knife at his waist. He is in his forties, with a full face of stubble, and seems a bit silent at this moment.

The same goes for other colleagues.

After all, Xu Qingxiao couldn't live more than twelve hours, so naturally she couldn't laugh, let alone say anything to comfort her.

"Qingxiao, it's time for you to rest. The doctor said your problem is not serious. Just take a good rest. Don't bother yourself."

Agent Chen forced a smile. He really couldn't tell the truth, so he could only comfort him like this, hoping that Xu Qingxiao wouldn't be too burdened.

But on the bed, Xu Qingxiao, who was gradually waking up, smiled bitterly.

"Master Chen, I have heard what you just said outside."

Xu Qingxiao spoke with a wry smile, leaving no one in need of comfort.

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly became embarrassed.

The room fell into deathly silence again.

But before Agent Chen could continue to offer words of comfort, Xu Qingxiao's eyes fell on the doctor.

"Doctor, is there really no solution?"

Xu Qingxiao didn't like to sit still and wait for death. Although the start was so bad, he still wanted to fight for it if there was a chance.

Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing to die like this.

Following Xu Qingxiao’s inquiry.

The doctor who was over sixty years old was stunned for a moment. His eyes fell on Xu Qingxiao, he thought for a moment, and then sighed.

"Actually, it is not that there is no way. On the contrary, there are three ways, but these three ways are difficult to complete."

The doctor thought deeply and said these words. The first half of the sentence made people feel hopeful, but the second half made people despair.

"Doctor, we are going to die anyway, so why not tell me, maybe a miracle will happen."

Xu Qingxiao continued to speak.

Since there is a way, it means there is a glimmer of hope, so Xu Qingxiao does not intend to give up.

Seeing Xu Qingxiao being so persistent, the doctor sighed. He understood how strong people's desire to survive was. Thinking about it, Xu Qingxiao was only twenty years old and in his prime. No one could accept this fact.

Thinking of this, the doctor's voice continued to sound.

"These three methods are simple to say, but extremely difficult to implement."

"First, you have the energy of yin and underworld in your body. This is extremely yin and extremely evil. If you want to remove it, you need something extremely strong and yang. I know that there is a kind of elixir called Diamond Glaze Pill. This elixir

It is specially made by Leiyin Temple, and it takes sixty years to refine it. It has many wonderful uses, and each one is extremely valuable. Even if the richest man in Ping'an County spends all his wealth, he can't get even a tenth of it."

He spoke up and suggested the first solution.

Indeed, even before this method was finished, Xu Qingxiao knew that there was no chance.

Leiyin Temple is one of the three major Buddhist sects. It is so high up there that even if the Buddhist sect is compassionate and saves all sentient beings, it is impossible for it to give such a precious elixir to a low-level person like himself.

"What about the second one?"

Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.

"The second one is simple. This kind of yin and evil thing is afraid of pure yang energy. If you break through to the eighth-level warrior realm within twelve hours, strengthen your body, activate your blood and strengthen your spirit, you can eliminate it completely."

The doctor suggested a second way.

As soon as this second method was mentioned, everyone present shook their heads.

If the first method is difficult, then the second method is even more difficult.

There are ten levels of martial arts, one level and one level.

The original owner of this body is still an unqualified warrior. He went from unqualified to eighth grade, which is three levels in one breath.

Even taking drugs can't do it.

You know, the eighth level of martial arts is enough to be the chief detective in Nanyu Mansion. This method is not unworkable, it is simply unworkable and it only exists in theory.

"What about the third option?"

Xu Qingxiao was still a little unwilling to give up.

He continued to ask, with a look of determination on his delicate face.

"The third method is to change..."

The doctor opened his mouth and was about to explain the third method when Agent Chen's voice suddenly sounded.

"Doctor, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense."

Detective Chen seemed to know what the doctor was going to say, and immediately interrupted, preventing him from continuing, making everyone a little curious.

"Mr. Chen... you are just old and arrogant, and you are talking nonsense. I hope Mr. Chen will not blame you."

The doctor's face became a little ugly. He also realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately bowed to Agent Chen.

The latter shook his head, glanced at Xu Qingxiao, and couldn't help but sigh: "I understand that Dr. Zhao is eager to save people, but there are rules for saving people. It's getting late for someone to send Dr. Zhao away."

"Also, give Qingxiao some medicine."

Captain Chen ordered someone to send Doctor Zhao away, and then sat on Xu Qingxiao's bedside and said.

"Qingxiao, there are no absolutes in the world. I will go to the county magistrate later. I can't get the Diamond Glaze Pill, but you can be considered injured on the job. I can help you get some blood-enhancing pills no matter what.

"

"Maybe everything will turn around, so don't be too discouraged."

He spoke out, still comforting Xu Qingxiao.

Xu Qingxiao, who was sitting on the bed, was all focused on the third method that Doctor Zhao had not finished yet.

It is obvious that this third method involves something, so it cannot be talked about randomly.

But this third method is easier than the previous two methods.

However, Xu Qingxiao did not ask further questions.

He knew what Agent Chen was like, and if he continued to question him, Doctor Zhao would probably not dare to continue talking nonsense.

Therefore, Xu Qingxiao held back her doubts, but the seeds of hope were already buried in her heart.

There was no way he could give up on himself like this.

God knows whether he will continue to travel after death. If not, wouldn't it be a loss of blood?

soon.

Doctor Zhao is gone.

After the medicine was cooked, Captain Chen also left with the others.

As everyone left.

The room fell into silence.

The room, which was basically empty, seemed a little lifeless.

Except for a dead lamp, everything seemed so peaceful.

A moment passed.

Xu Qingxiao picked up the gray bowl on the head of the bed, and an extremely strong smell of Chinese medicine hit her nostrils.

Without any hesitation, Xu Qingxiao drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp in order to survive.

Maybe it's because the medicine tastes bitter, or maybe it's because of the psychological effects.

As the decoction entered the abdomen, a trace of warmth spread from the abdomen, making Xu Qingxiao even more energetic.

"vomit."

The bitterness spread all over his taste buds, and Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but retching, but he finally endured it.

Exhaling slowly, Xu Qingxiao stood up. He twisted his body and practiced the Zhengyang Fist in his mind, trying to make his body as soft as possible so as not to be so stiff.

About half an hour later.

It started to rain lightly, and Xu Qingxiao got a little better, at least not as hard to move as before.

Putting on a long coat and a short knife, Xu Qingxiao took off the bamboo hat hanging on the wall.

Opened the door.

Click!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

The night is vast and the moon and stars are sparse.

Light rain fell continuously.

Xu Qingxiao left home.

There are still eleven hours left before the countdown to death.
