Little Pearl looked older than when she left. Her stature was stooped, her skin was dry and wrinkled, like lifeless old bark, her hair was white, messy, and she had no image at all. She had completely become a woman.
A dying old man.
She was lying on her side on the sofa, curled up with her dry and thin body, as if she had no weight, and there was no depression in the sofa. Her chest did not rise and fall. If I hadn't been able to feel the weak vitality in her body, just look at her now.
, she is no different from a corpse.
"Lin Xi, she came back to see you." As he spoke, Gu Han raised his hand and pointed to the low table next to the sofa. It was a low wooden table with a scroll on it.
"She gave you that painting. Knowing that you were not here, she gave it to me and wanted to leave. But before she could walk out of the door, she passed out and became like this." Gu Han said,
"What is that painting? I didn't open it to see. Also, Lin Xi, can she be saved? Who is she?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that although Gu Han knew Taoism, she was just an ordinary human being. She couldn't recognize people through their breath. And Little Pearl had changed too much. Just looking at her appearance, she really knew how to do it.
Can't recognize her.
"Is this Little Pearl?" Seeing Little Pearl's appearance, Yun Ling exclaimed in shock, "She was sucked dry. What did she go through?"
At first, Little Pearl lied to me and said that the reason why she suddenly aged was because she stole the Jingyuan Pill from the wolf demon, and the side effects of the Jingyuan Pill made her age. But after Little Pearl left, I asked Xiao Si why, and there was no such thing.
The wolf demon, the Jing Yuan Dan will make her age, and the reason why she left were all lies to me.
Now that I heard Yun Ling say that someone had sucked the essence out of Little Pearl, I finally understood the real reason for her aging.
I looked at Yun Ling, "Do you know how long it took for her to be sucked?"
Yun Ling glanced at me casually, then ignored me and walked past me to the sofa. He knelt down, stretched out his hand and put the tip of his index finger on Little Pearl's eyebrows.
After a moment, the carelessness on Yun Ling's face disappeared, his brows suddenly frowned, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his black eyes.
I immediately thought, "Yun Ling, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Yun Ling still ignored me, but turned to look at Yuchen.
At this moment, I really hate Death Luck Pearl. Every one of them is so arrogant, it’s as if they didn’t hear what I said.
"Come and help me." Yun Ling looked at Yuchen and suddenly spoke.
Only then did I realize that something might have happened. After taking control of the Luck Pearl, Yun Ling was angry with Yuchen for eight out of ten reasons. Yun Ling would never ask Yuchen for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
I looked at Yun Ling worriedly.
Yuchen walked over and stopped next to Yun Ling, staring at Yun Ling from above for a moment. Then he raised his foot and kicked Yun Ling on the shoulder.
At the same time, Yuchen tied his sword fingers with one hand, and a blue flame leaped from his fingertips.
Yun Ling's kicked body fell to the side. As soon as he arrived, his finger moved away from Xiaozhu's eyebrows. At this moment, I saw a very thin silk thread stuck to Yun Ling's finger.
Pearl's eyebrows were pulled out.
I thought I was dazzled, so I closed my eyes hard, opened them and looked again.
Yuchen flicked his finger, and the green flame flew out, igniting the silk thread stuck to Yun Ling's fingertips.
As the flame burned, the silk thread broke, and part of it went back to the center of Xiaozhu's eyebrows. The part stuck to Yun Ling's fingertips was completely swallowed by the blue flame.
The flames burned Yun Ling's fingers. Yun Ling shook his arms a few times and the flames went out. He frowned and gave Yu Chen a cold look before getting up from the ground.
"Yun Ling, I just saw a thread coming out of Little Pearl's body," I asked, "What is that?"
Yun Ling replied to me coldly, "Ask Yuchen, he knows."
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to me and turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
Gu Han looked at me in surprise and couldn't help but asked in shock, "Is he really Yun Ling? Was he taken away? Lin Xi, why does he have this attitude towards you?"
Anyone who has a little knowledge of Yun Ling can see that Yun Ling's temperament has changed now.
I looked at Gu Han helplessly, "It's a long story, Gu Han, as long as you know that Yun Ling is very good, he is normal."
Little Pearl was in a hurry, so I didn't waste any time talking to Gu Han and asked Yuchen, "What was that line just now?"
"It's Gongsi." Yuchen replied.
"Gongsi? What is that?" I was puzzled.
I didn't understand, but Gu Han understood. She widened her eyes in shock and said in disbelief, "The little pearl is a tribute?"
I was stunned.
Gu Han told me that tributes offered to dead people or immortals will not be eaten by the dead or immortals. Otherwise, if you go to the grave during the Qingming Festival and see the tributes floating in front of your eyes, then
After being eaten, future generations who go to worship and kowtow will not be frightened to death.
It doesn't really mean that they will be eaten, nor does it mean that these tributes will not be eaten. To use the simplest analogy, if the white wine is offered to the immortal family, if the white wine is filled into the cup, the wine in the cup will not be reduced, but
After the offering, if people drink the glass of wine again, they will find that the glass of wine has turned into white water. This is because the immortal family has actually drunk the glass of wine.
When dead people or immortals eat tributes, what they eat is not the form but the Qi of the tribute. The essence of the tribute will be eaten by them, so the liquor will no longer have the taste of wine, and the fruit will no longer have the taste of fruit.
The way these tributes are eaten is through tribute silk. After the tribute is offered, tribute silk will be produced. These silk threads will absorb the essence of the tribute and allow the person being worshiped to eat it.
"Now that there is tribute silk in Little Pearl's body, it means that she is already a tribute." Gu Han said, "Just now Yun Ling said that Little Pearl became like this after someone sucked her essence. The person who sucked her essence
, she must be the one who regards her as a tribute, and the essence in her body is the tribute that was sucked away by Gongsi."
Little Pearl became a tribute? Who is she worshiping?
The last time we met, she had already begun to age. In other words, she was already a tribute at that time. At that time, she and Xiao Sigu had just come out of the Demon Sealing Valley, so... the person she was worshiping was from the Demon Sealing Valley.
someone!
"This tribute silk is very overbearing," Yuchen said, "It almost got on Yun Ling's body."
Hearing what Yuchen said, Gu Han panicked, "Third Master, look at me quickly. I'm not parasitized by Gongsi, right? Little Pearl fainted. I carried her into the room and put her on the sofa. I
I had close contact with her."
Yuchen glanced at Gu Han and said, "You're fine. You don't have the power in your body that Gongsi is interested in."
Hearing this, Gu Han was happy at first, but then his face darkened again, "Does Third Master mean to call me a waste?"
Now was not the time to joke, so I ignored Gu Han and asked Yuchen, "Yuchen, is there any way to save little Pearl?"
Yuchen nodded, looked at me and said, "Didn't Wan Shangyu arrange everything a long time ago?"
