Seeing Wu Shuang'er crying so hard, Lin Zichen didn't ask any more questions, but helped her out of these old houses.
When they got to the road, Huo Qing stopped a car, and the three of them took a taxi and found a hotel. After all, what Wu Shuang'er needed most in this state was to take a hot bath and then have a solid sleep.
Huo Qing opened two rooms. Lin Zichen handed a key to Wu Shuang'er's hand and said, "Shuang'er, take a bath and rest for the night first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
Wu Shuang'er nodded obediently, but there was still lingering fear on her face. She said, "I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble today..."
Lin Zichen smiled: "You're welcome, aren't we friends?"
Hearing this, Wu Shuang'er's little face also covered with a smile. Indeed, she had experienced too much that night. When she was desperate, having a friend was like the warm sun of winter, which illuminated the bottom of her heart.
The last trace of anger.
Back in the room, Huo Qing leaned on the bed and said, "Master, why do you think you always have a fate with beautiful women?"
Lin Zichen glanced at him: "You want to be expelled from the school again?"
"Well……"
"But it seems that Shuang'er has really encountered some trouble. She is from Wucun and she actually appeared in Nanshui at night, and her clothes must have been torn off." Lin Zichen said.
"This girl is handsome. She must have been robbed of her wealth and sex," Huo Qing rubbed his chin, "Master, these matters should be under the control of the police."
Lin Zichen shook his head: "It's not that simple. Huo Qing, you don't know that Wu Shuang'er has a physical problem. I touched her hand in the car that day..."
Halfway through the words, Huo Qing smiled: "Master, you are still cheek to cheek."
"Go away, I realize you haven't been serious at all lately."
"Haha, you learn from whoever you want," Huo Qing covered his mouth and smiled, "Master, I thought you were serious at first and cherished words like gold, but later I found out that you are selective. When Lan Luoshi was here, you
She's so cute when she talks, and every word she says makes her happy."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen also laughed. Speaking of which, Lan Luoshi didn't know what she was doing. She was probably studying and worrying about her father's test.
"Okay, let's get down to business. The other day I touched Wu Shuang'er's hands...and face, and found that her whole body was cold and she had almost no body temperature. Even if she measured it, it would never exceed 10℃!"
"What? 10℃?" Huo Qing couldn't help but put away his smile and became serious, "Isn't that almost the same as ice cubes?"
This is true. Although ice condenses at 0℃, for the human body, a person whose temperature is less than 10℃ is almost cold to the touch...
Lin Zichen nodded: "Yes, that's the feeling, so I was interested in this person at that time. If I guessed correctly, she practiced some kind of special skill, or was cast by someone else.
!”
Huo Qing thought for a while and said: "Yes, Master, I have also heard of some alien exercises that seem to be able to change a person's physique. Although the cultivation level is improved, the self-damage of the meridians is very serious."
"Yes, that's it, so I'm worried about Wu Shuang'er. She looks very weak and doesn't look like a warrior who has practiced that kind of technique, so I suspect that someone forced this kind of technique on her."
"Forcing it on her? Then why? Warriors who practice this kind of technique often have evil intentions, are eager for success, and even go astray. But why don't they practice it themselves but use others to practice it? Is it... an experiment?" Huo Qing
As he spoke, he opened his eyes wide, as if he felt a sense of terror.
Indeed, the most terrifying thing in the world is not the various dangers, but the human heart, and those who harm others are the most ruthless.
Lin Zichen pondered for a long time and said: "It is possible, but I know that there are many alien races with very weird cultivation methods. For example, in ancient times, there was a Yin-blood tribe who relied on the blood of virgins to refine and practice formations, and these virgins must be Yin-blooded.
If the Qi is extremely strong, then they will let these virgins practice Yinhan skills before refining, and eventually become refined products."
"Oh my god, is there such a cruel cultivation method?"
Huo Qing couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart. After all, he had never heard of this kind of inheritance, but what Lin Zichen knew was far beyond his comparison. The memories inherited by Tianzun not only contained various cultivation methods, but also contained the adventure experiences of Tianzun's life.
The two were chatting when several knocks on the door came. Lin Zichen and Huo Qing looked at each other and seemed to guess who was knocking on the door.
Lin Zichen opened the door and saw Wu Shuang'er. Although Wu Shuang'er was wearing dirty and torn clothes at this time, after taking a bath, her face was white and tender, her hands were slender, and her wet hair was as clear as the hibiscus when it came out of the water.
She lowered her head slightly, her hair slightly covering her beautiful face, and said: "Lin Zichen, I... I'm a little scared and don't dare to sleep..."
Lin Zichen glanced at Huo Qing, who shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to express his helplessness. Lin Zichen said: "Then... come in, let's chat for a while."
Wu Shuang'er nodded, walked in and stood aside without saying a word, just like a maid in ancient times. She could only wait for the master to eat and sleep.
Lin Zichen smiled, pointed to his bed and said, "What are you standing for? Sit down."
Wu Shuang'er quickly shook her head: "No, no, I...my clothes are dirty, don't make your bed dirty."
Lin Zichen was stunned. Wu Shuang'er today is very different from when they met that day. That day, she was like a flower blooming in the sun, full of vitality and liveliness. But today, she is like an abandoned daughter walking out of a dark corner.
Timid, inferior...
Lin Zichen stepped forward and took Wu Shuang'er's cold hand, and asked her to sit on the bed directly: "Haha, sit down, by the way, Shuang'er, what happened to you today? Aren't you in Wu Village? Why did you run away?
We have arrived at Nanshui, and your clothes..."
Speaking of this, Wu Shuang'er's tears fell. She looked up at Lin Zichen: "I...I ran away from Wu Village."
"Run out? Why?" Lin Zichen asked.
Wu Shuang'er said that she was an orphan since she was a child and was raised by Lingpo, who was one of the highest-ranking people in Wu Village.
In the witch village, in addition to the most powerful witch Zhu, who holds the position of village chief, the person with a parallel position is the Lingpo. The witch Zhu is responsible for all affairs of the witch village, while the Lingpo is responsible for praying for the witch village and protecting the villagers.
Safety.
Although Lingpo has a very high status in the village, she is very kind to her. She not only takes care of her life, but also sends her to school. However, when she came home from the holiday this time, she felt that Lingpo was weird. Until last night, Lingpo actually
He told her that she had been betrothed to a man named Mr. Snake.
Wu Shuang'er is now in her second year of high school. Unlike the people in the village, she still has cultural knowledge. Naturally, she is unwilling to accept this arrangement. But she didn't expect that as soon as she refused, Lingpo would be furious and even call someone
Lock her up.
She struggled to escape, but her clothes were torn by several people in the village. She ran all the way to the outskirts of Nanshui. She had no strength anymore and had no money with her, so she had to call Lin Zichen for help.
"There are still arranged marriages in this era? It's so evil!" Huo Qing said.
Lin Zichen shook his head: "It is true that this phenomenon still exists in many backward areas. Wu Village should be this kind of area, but this Snake Master... his name is so strange."
"It's like this. Wu Village is located on the mountainside of Biyin Mountain. It can be regarded as being built on the mountain. There is a Jade Snake Gate on the top of Biyin Mountain. Lingpo said that Wu Village has had good luck in recent years, and it has many similarities with the Jade Snake Gate.
Because of the big relationship, Wucun respects the Jade Snake Sect very much, and Mr. Snake is the son of the master of the Jade Snake Sect."
Lin Zichen nodded slowly: "That's right, haha, have you seen that snake boy?"
"I met him once. During the winter vacation one year, the master of the Jade Snake Sect brought people to Wu Village. Wu Zhu personally hosted them. Later, Lingpo asked me to bring food in. I met him once, but I didn't talk to him."
Wu Shuang'er said.
"Haha, I think Mr. Snake must have fallen in love with you at first sight that time. From this point of view, it seems that your witch village dare not disobey the Jade Snake Sect, so the spirit woman can only agree to betroth you." Lin Zichen said.
.
"No one can disobey the orders given by the Lingpo, but I...but I really don't want to marry that snake man. What should I do? I can't go back to Witch Village, but where can I go?"
As she said that, Wu Shuang'er cried helplessly, looking extremely distressed.
"Shuang'er, don't be too sad. There is no problem in the world that cannot be solved. By the way, I have a question for you. Do you know...that your body temperature is very low?"
Wu Shuang'er nodded: "Yes, I have been like this since I was a child. Because I have been bathing according to Lingpo's instructions for a long time, my body temperature is much lower than that of ordinary people. Lingpo said that I was not in good health when I was a child, and I need to use this method to recuperate."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly and adjusted his body? Hum, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Wu Shuang'er is a woman, and women's constitution is yin. The harmony of yin and yang cannot be said to be the ultimate yin, so the spirit woman must have some other purpose.
"Shuang'er, I'm a doctor, can you let me take your pulse?"
Hearing what Lin Zichen said, Wu Shuang'er nodded decisively. She was kind-hearted and unguarded, and since Lin Zichen helped her, she didn't doubt anything and directly extended her hand.
Lin Zichen touched Wu Shuang'er's pulse with three fingers and couldn't help but be shocked. Not only was Wu Shuang'er's body temperature cold, but her pulse was extremely weak, and she almost...was about to lose her life.
He looked at Wu Shuang'er's face again. There wasn't much blood in that pretty face, but now it seemed to be less than the last time they met.
Although she was born snow-white, her blood color was abnormal. If she was right, Lingpo should have tampered with Wu Shuang'er while she was bathing. Although she didn't know the purpose, it was enough to kill Wu Shuang'er!
"Shuang'er, when you were taking a bath... what did Lingpo do?"
Wu Shuang'er thought for a while: "Nothing? I'm always in my own room, but Lingpo helps me get bath water. The bath water has always been cold water since I was a child."
These words made Huo Qing tremble: "It's all cold water for bathing? Even in winter? God, this is too... fierce."
Lin Zichen frowned: "That's right, the problem should be the bath water, Shuang'er, it seems I have to take you back to Wu Village!"
