Chapter 2: The way to break the game, the side door
Boom boom!
Thunder exploded.
It's time to be ugly.
Ping'an County was completely dark, and there was another thunderstorm, making it even more quiet.
The rain fell like beads, hitting the eaves and falling at the corners.
But at this moment.
A figure appeared in the silent street.
The figure's steps were not too fast, and he came outside a private house with a bamboo hat on his head.
This person is none other than Xu Qingxiao.
Knowing that she had less than twelve hours to live, Xu Qingxiao felt depressed and helpless.
But knowing that there was still a way to save herself, Xu Qingxiao didn't want to give up.
Although he didn't know why Detective Chen prevented him from knowing the rescue method, Xu Qingxiao didn't want to give up on herself.
Coming in the rain, Xu Qingxiao's purpose was very clear. He came to see Dr. Zhao.
In any case, he must ask for a way to rescue him.
boom.
There was another thunder.
Xu Qingxiao had already arrived at the door of Dr. Zhao's house. He knocked lightly and stood under the door waiting quietly.
"who?"
After half a ring.
A young voice sounded, slightly wary.
"People from the Yamen, tell your master that there is something important."
Xu Qingxiao reported her family name very directly.
"My lord, please wait a moment."
Hearing that it was someone from the Yamen, the latter immediately shouted.
About thirty breaths.
Doctor Zhao's voice sounded, but he didn't open the door.
"May I ask who it is?"
It was late at night, and a sudden visit from an official came. No one knew whether it was true or not. Although Ping'an County was peaceful, it was definitely right to be cautious.
"Doctor Zhao, it's me."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
At that moment, Doctor Zhao did not hesitate and immediately had the door panel removed.
"Little friend Qingxiao, come in quickly. You are ill because the cold air has entered your body. If you get colder again, you will be in even greater trouble."
"Er Ming, hurry up and prepare the stove. Go, go quickly."
When he saw that it was indeed Xu Qingxiao, Doctor Zhao immediately pulled Xu Qingxiao inside and said hurriedly. At the same time, he asked his apprentice to prepare the stove for Xu Qingxiao.
"Dr. Zhao, the late night visit is a bit abrupt, so there is no need for a stove."
Xu Qingxiao waved his hand. It was indeed freezing cold inside his body, but he could still bear it for the time being and there was no need for a stove.
"It's okay, it's just a small matter. Take a seat quickly."
Doctor Zhao took off the bamboo hat on Xu Qingxiao's head, and then took off his own coat, trying to put it on Xu Qingxiao.
Xu Qingxiao was grateful, but still waved her hand in refusal.
"Dr. Zhao, I'm here unexpectedly. I think you should understand my intention. I hope the doctor is a kindhearted doctor and sees how pitiful I am and can give me some advice."
Xu Qingxiao got straight to the point and bowed deeply to Dr. Zhao.
At a critical moment of life and death, Xu Qingxiao had no thoughts and did not want to be sloppy. It would be better to go straight to the matter.
Yes.
In fact, as soon as he heard Xu Qingxiao's voice, Doctor Zhao already understood why Xu Qingxiao was here.
It's a little quiet inside the pharmacy.
The oil lamp sizzled, and Dr. Zhao was silent. He regretted speaking nonsense just now.
"Master, the stove is here."
At this time, the apprentice brought the stove, which was used for decoction. Occasionally, it could also be used directly as a stove to keep warm.
"Okay, you go up and rest."
Doctor Zhao nodded, took the stove and placed it in front of Xu Qingxiao.
The crimson briquettes radiated heat, but Xu Qingxiao could not feel any warmth. The cold air in his body made him feel cold.
"Doctor Zhao, I am already dying and don't have much time left. I hope Dr. Zhao has mercy on me."
Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded again, but her eyes were a little calm.
Although this sentence is begging, it also contains another meaning.
I am about to die, and I can do anything. But I hope you will take pity on me and point out a clear path. Whether the future is life or death, I can't blame you.
Xu Qingxiao didn't want this.
But he had no choice at the moment. Doctor Zhao seemed to be worried about something and refused to say anything. Xu Qingxiao had no choice but to make this decision.
really.
As soon as he said this, Dr. Zhao's expression changed slightly. He looked at Xu Qingxiao with a somewhat sullen look in his eyes. How could he not hear what Xu Qingxiao's words contained when he was sixty?
But he quickly calmed down his anger, finally took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed.
"Come on, come on, come on, since it is the cause of the old man's nonsense, then the old man will also bear the consequences of his nonsense."
After weighing it, he made a choice.
Doctor Zhao's eyes fell on Xu Qingxiao, and then he spoke.
"I know you are eager to survive, but this third method may be no less difficult than the first two, but it may also be much simpler than the first two."
"Little friend Qingxiao, have you ever heard of magic?"
Doctor Zhao opened his mouth and suggested the third method.
"Exotic magic?"
Xu Qingxiao raised her head and frowned slightly.
My mind is constantly searching for this word.
Soon, Xu Qingxiao had some memories.
"What the doctor is talking about is the magic that is strictly prohibited by the imperial court?"
Xu Qingxiao said with some doubts.
"yes."
Doctor Zhao nodded, confirming Xu Qingxiao's guess.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao completely understood why Agent Chen interrupted Doctor Zhao when he mentioned the third method.
Strange magic.
It is not only a law strictly prohibited by the imperial court, but also something that is strictly prohibited by all major sects.
In this world, there are immortals, monsters, demons, evil spirits, Buddhas, and martial arts.
Immortals have immortal magic, and martial arts have martial arts.
But whether it is immortality or martial arts, it is extremely difficult to practice, and it becomes even more difficult as you go to the later stages.
But there is something that can make people stronger quickly.
This kind of thing is a ‘foreign art’.
Once this kind of magic is practiced, it can instantly make a person's certain abilities extremely strong.
For example, a cultivator majors in Yuan Shen, but to improve Yuan Shen not only requires tempering day after day, but also requires experience in the world of mortals and enlightenment in life.
Martial arts training, on the other hand, is about improving Qi, blood and body, which requires tempering the body and practicing martial arts day after day.
However, with the help of magic, you can strengthen your soul in an instant, or improve your energy, blood, and body.
One breath can save decades or even hundreds of years of hard work.
But this kind of magic has extremely terrible side effects, and it can easily make people lose their minds. Some terrible magic can even turn people into monsters and cause harm to the world.
The probability is as high as nine out of ten.
That is to say, eight or nine out of ten people who practice strange arts will turn into monsters and cause harm to the world.
Naturally, the world's famous sects and righteous schools, as well as demons and demons alike, prohibit the practice of strange arts.
It's enough to understand how terrifying this strange technique is.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao was indeed stunned.
He didn't expect that the third method Dr. Zhao mentioned was actually magic.
But come to your senses.
Xu Qingxiao asked directly.
"Doctor Zhao, can magic save my life?"
He looked at Dr. Zhao with bright eyes.
"It depends on what kind of magic you have. The yin and dark energy in your body is extremely yin poison. If you can find the ultimate yang magic, you can save yourself."
Dr. Zhao said this.
"Is there any other method to the sun that can be used as a different technique?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised. Isn't this an evil act?
"Naturally, there are many types of magic, and the magic was originally intended to assist practice, but it was later destroyed by various people with evil intentions."
"After all, human nature is greedy, but little friend Qingxiao, I advise you not to try this path of magic. After all, if you practice magic, you will most likely lose your mind or turn into a demon and cause harm to the world."
Doctor Zhao couldn't help but persuade.
Strange magic is not a secret. Doctor Zhao knows that it is dangerous, so he gives advice.
"Zhiyang magic?"
Xu Qingxiao ignored Dr. Zhao’s dissuasion.
I'm almost dead.
Still worried about whether it is dangerous or not, Xu Qingxiao will try even if it is 1% possible, after all, if you don't try, you will die.
"Dr. Zhao, where can I get the magic?"
Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.
"This old man doesn't know."
Doctor Zhao shook his head directly. He had some knowledge of magic because it was not a secret at all. Besides, people who live to be sixty years old have rich experience.
As for where the magic is, how does he know?
"Do you really don't know?"
Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but ask again.
The latter smiled wryly.
He looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Little friend Qingxiao, I am a doctor. This theory of magic is not a secret. I can tell you a little bit. But if you ask me where there is magic, how can I know about it?"
Dr. Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Foreign magic is a forbidden book in the world. No matter whether it is the imperial court or a well-known and decent family, as long as someone is found to be secretly hiding foreign magic, the whole family will be questioned and killed. There is no ambiguity in this.
So ordinary people naturally don't know.
Doctor Zhao knows so much, half of it is hearsay, and the other half is due to professional characteristics. After all, being a doctor naturally has a wide network of contacts, and he knows more things than ordinary people.
Hearing Dr. Zhao's answer, Xu Qingxiao also felt that she had gone too far.
"Doctor Zhao, coming here today is in no way rude. I promise you that he is not a bad person. I will bear in mind my kindness today. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will definitely repay the kindness of solving my doubts."
Xu Qingxiao nodded, and bowed to Dr. Zhao as a great salute.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Doctor Zhao nodded. In fact, he also understood that Xu Qingxiao had no choice but to do so, so the previous contradiction was nothing.
At the moment, Xu Qingxiao didn't say much. He was basically a dying person and was in no mood to chat, so he planned to leave right away.
But when Xu Qingxiao was about to leave, Dr. Zhao's voice suddenly sounded again.
"Little friend Qingxiao, wait a moment."
He opened his mouth to stop Xu Qingxiao.
At the moment, Xu Qingxiao was a little curious, wondering what the other party was going to do?
Dr. Zhao got up, went to the medicine cabinet, rummaged through the cabinets, and after a while came over with a wooden box.
"Little friend Qingxiao, there is a high-quality blood-replenishing pill in this box. You have Yin Ming Qi in your body. Swallowing this blood-replenishing pill can activate your blood and strengthen your body. At least it can avoid some pain and make your body bones more flexible. You can treat it like this.
What an old-fashioned person."
Doctor Zhao handed the box to Xu Qingxiao.
"this......"
Xu Qingxiao had some feelings. He looked at the box handed to him and was a little surprised, but Xu Qingxiao had no time to be pretentious because he really needed this kind of thing.
"Dr. Zhao, thank you very much."
Xu Qingxiao thanked her sincerely again, took the box, and turned to leave.
now.
The rain is light and continuous, but the sky is still like ink.
