His face was pale, faintly green and black, and his breath was weak, as if with a light touch, it would turn into a wisp of smoke and disappear. It was obvious that he was in danger. I looked at his face and was surprised for a moment.
Why did the sword wound look like he was poisoned? Only after taking a pulse did he know that he had been unconscious because he was poisoned. That damn Jimo actually put poison on the sword!
I hurriedly called to the old lady who left us here without paying attention and was about to leave: "You can save him, right?"
She didn't turn her head and smiled sinisterly: "What you should ask is, do I want to save him?"
"But you have already saved us once. You saved us from the lake."
She suddenly turned her head and looked at me with cold eyes: "I said I fished you out just to not pollute the purity of the holy lake." Then she grinned, her voice was really hoarse and dry and ugly: "The people I rescued.
, I never care or ask." After saying that, he glanced to the side.
I followed her gaze and gasped again. Countless white skeletons piled up all over the lake and against the cliff. Some of them were still wearing tattered clothes, and some had turned into ashes.
Looking at the gloomy white bones, empty eyes, intact skeletons, some with various weapons around them. Their postures seemed to show how unwilling they were to die and how painful they were. Waiting to die in one place, indeed
It makes people suffer all the tortures in the world, both physically and mentally. What kind of place is this?
Are we no longer in this world, but in the Asura Hell?
I asked blankly: "Did you kill them?"
"Joke?!" She laughed wildly, and her hoarse voice echoed throughout the valley, making my ears ring. I covered my ears in pain.
She finally stopped: "Why did my old woman let these rats dirty my hands? They died here by themselves. Maybe they died of starvation, or wound infection, or death of despair... Maybe not long after, you
Then you will understand their pain." She smiled coldly: "In this valley, I can't find any exit except for me. It's like a cage. After those people were saved, they suddenly fell from happiness to hell. Being trapped here alive is a worse life.
Die. You can hear their whining every day until they die. I advise you not to struggle and just wait here." There was no emotion on her face. What a cruel old woman!
"Wait a minute," I hurriedly gathered my strength and chased after her. It was a joke. If she left, we wouldn't really have to live here waiting to die. Waiting for death to come. Knowing that we were going to die but there was no way to do anything about it would drive me to the point of helplessness.
Crazy. Besides, it doesn't matter if I die, it won't change the world, but how can he die? He is the emperor, and he has the whole country waiting for him.
As soon as I lifted my breath, I realized that my chest hurt so much. This lift made me almost breathless in pain, but I couldn't care about anything at the moment. I shamelessly grabbed her feet and begged miserably: "Please
Please, save him, otherwise he will really die, please..."
She struggled to break away from my grasp and sneered: "It's none of my business whether he dies or not."
My mind was in chaos and my thoughts were messy. It took me a long time to find a reason: "He is the emperor! He is related to the world, so he cannot die, and he should not die if he wants to die..."
She interrupted me ruthlessly: "Which one of you who fell in is not famous..." She pointed to a nearby skeleton in gorgeous clothes and said: "That is the ninth prince of the Later Qin Dynasty." Then she pointed to several other me.
The skeleton who couldn't tell who was who said: "That man claims to be the richest man in Jin... That is a general... That is the best swordsman in martial arts..." She looked happy, as if these skeletons, no, should be
The death work and torture of others brought her great enjoyment: "None of them are famous on the mainland... But whether these people die or not, what does it have to do with the old woman, and whether your companions die or not is none of my business.
.You'd better wish for yourself, your internal injuries are serious, and if you don't get treatment in time, you will soon be with him."
This devil! No matter what I did, I still clung to her feet. I only had one belief in my heart: I must not let him die. He was injured because of me, fell into this strange devil's cave for me, and was about to die because of me...
…I can’t give up!
"Let me go, you damn girl!" Seeing that I wouldn't let go, she couldn't get away no matter what, so she kicked me with her other foot, one kick after another, never soft, and the force was so strong that it hurt me.
She bit her lower lip until it turned purple and bled to prevent herself from moaning. She had no mercy: "He was poisoned and won't survive."
I was kicked so hard that I felt dizzy, but I still wouldn't let go. Even if I die, I won't let go!
She wasn't that easy to talk to. She stopped kicking me and then hit me on the neck with a palm. It hurt, as if my whole body was paralyzed. My hand was still holding her unconsciously.
She bent down and pulled my fingers apart one by one. By accident, the entire sleeve on my arm was torn off. But I was already dizzy and didn't know what was happening.
"Ah -" She didn't know what she saw, and seemed to be surprised. Then, she pondered for a long time, suddenly thought of something interesting, and laughed wildly: "Do you really want to save him?" She said to me who had fainted.
.
I was confused, but I nodded reflexively.
She said cruelly: "I can only save one of you two. One can only live and the other can die. If you want to save him, you will die. You have to think carefully."
I groaned unconsciously: "Please, save her, whatever you want me to do..."
She came over and asked me to take some pill first. I woke up quickly. My head was still dizzy. I struggled to get up, and then I realized that the sleeve on my left arm had been torn off. The phoenix was exposed.
No.
She looked at me coldly and said, "If you want to save him, just take this soul-breaking pill."
"What medicine did you give me just now, and what is this medicine now?" Her crow-like voice was really——
She laughed hoarsely as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world: "The pill just now was just an ordinary pill to refresh your mind. But this pill will break your soul. After taking it, you will be completely exhausted.
There is no one to save, and death is inevitable. However, death may not be that easy——"
Death may not be that easy - after a few minutes, I understood what she meant.
