Chapter 305 Drink Poison to quench thirst
After Chang Qing left, Nangong Feiyan and I carefully analyzed the next plan. Should I go home, or go find Mo Xiaobai immediately, or continue to stay?
However, we studied for a long time but couldn't determine the results in the end. The three methods seemed to be inappropriate.
First of all, if you go home now, you will definitely leave Mo Xiaobai alone, which is inappropriate.
Furthermore, if you go to find Mo Xiaobai, you can't even determine where his family is now, so where can you go? In the end, it may be delayed, and it is not appropriate to delay everything.
Finally, if we stay, we can just wait and see. After all, we cannot take the initiative to find Jindaomen, Yisheng and others to fight desperately, because the situation is still developing, and the real people in the spiritual world have not yet appeared. Even if we fight Yisheng and both suffer from Jindaomen, we can only be the real enemy hidden behind the scenes.
Judging from the current situation, the Golden Knife Gate first attacked the mysterious Fuyuanzhai, and suffered a tragic failure. He wanted to plot against me, but he shot himself in the foot and then turned to the snake clan. It was considered a draw between the two families. They jumped up and down like this, but none of them succeeded. So what else would they do next?
Nangong Feiyan said that the biggest possibility is that it will still attack the snake clan, because judging from the battle situation yesterday, the snake clan did not have a very advantage. If she and Shao Peiyi had not happened to catch up with the help, the snake clan would have suffered greater losses yesterday. After yesterday's incident, the snake clan's defense measures must be strengthened, but their background has been tentative, so she predicted that for a period of time, the enemy's attack strategy should be mainly targeted at the snake clan.
What she analyzed is indeed reasonable. I struggled with these three methods for a long time, but finally made up my mind that I would go home as soon as possible.
The reason is very simple. If I go to find Mo Xiaobai, I don’t know where he is now. If I stay, I can only wait and see. Although I am also worried about Xin Ya and worried about Coco, I can’t stay by their side and wait for them to wake up. I must do something more effective and useful.
As the saying goes, sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood, and making a blacksmith must be strong by yourself. If I go home, I can successfully get my grandfather’s guidance and learn the second level of prohibition. Then I will clean up those people, which is better than staying here now and waiting for it.
Besides, let alone these things besides me, I still have the mission of the family and break the burden of the curse. All of this can only be solved by me as a true taboo master. Otherwise, my life may only be stopped in a few years.
Nangong Feiyan agreed with me. She said to me, "You can go with peace of mind, and Xin Ya will leave it to me. I will ask a few people from the clan to guard her day and night. If there is any news, the old man Shihun will come here. Although Keke was injured in order to save you, you don't have to worry about it. On the Snake Clan, Shao Peiyi can also control the dynamics at any time. As for Mo Xiaobai, I will immediately ask someone to investigate his origin and his address. I will notify you immediately if there is any news. Then it should not be too late for you to come back, otherwise you will be delaying your time if you stay.
Seeing that Nangong Feiyan also expressed support, I was very happy, so I studied with her for a long time before finally determining all the subsequent things and making arrangements for all the worries. I thought I could probably go home.
Although Mr. Situ doesn't seem to support this matter very much, this is my choice. I believe that if I can succeed, he should be very happy.
However, when I mentioned going home, I remembered something. After a battle with the Night Demon yesterday, I am now physically weak and mentally exhausted. I always feel like I am empty. Even though I had just had a sleep, I didn’t recover much. I wondered, is there something wrong?
But no matter what, I have to go home now. So in the afternoon, Nangong Feiyan returned to her home to report on the situation last night. I ran to the train station, bought a ticket to go home tomorrow, and prepared some things, such as cotton coats and hats, which are all necessary to go home, because it is winter now, and it is much colder in my hometown than here.
After everything was ready, the sky became darker. I sat cross-legged on the bed, silently recited the three magical mantras, and entered the realm of the ancient scriptures, trying to completely restore my state.
However, two hours later, when I opened my eyes, I found that I had not recovered too much. This is really a strange phenomenon. Did I consume too much yesterday and be emptied?
I thought for a long time and suddenly remembered something.
Qingming Fruit!
By the way, this fruit is said to have special power. Why don’t I eat one?
Thinking of this, I took out a green and dark fruit, and took it in my hand and looked at it. The red fruit had a vague green vein inside, which was even a little transparent and cold. It looked good, but this thing was something from the underworld. I am in a special period now, and my body is empty. Can I eat it?
After thinking for a long time, I decided not to eat rashly. I might as well go to Luang Po tonight.
No matter what, I am now her nominal apprentice, and I think she will be happy to help me.
So, after it was completely dark, I went out and called Conan directly. After a while, Conan drove his ghost suspension rental to the front and asked, "Boss, it's so late, where are you going?"
Unexpectedly, he would still joke, so I also smiled and said, "Master, how much does it cost to go there?"
Conan's eyes rolled and he smiled: "The underworld is a bit too far away, but it's free."
"Oh, it's really free?" I said strangely. He nodded and waved to me and said, "Come on, the underworld is really free. After all, that's my merit."
I was just a joke, but I didn't expect that going to the underworld would be really free. Then I got in the car and told him where I was going. Conan looked back at me in surprise and asked me: "Are you going to Huangquan Inn? Are you trying to die?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Then don't worry, I know that old lady, I'm just visiting..."
He looked at me with a strange look, shrugged, and said nothing more. He stepped on the accelerator and the car floated again. The neon lights outside the window continued to be bizarre and headed to Huangquan Inn.
Soon, the car should have arrived in the suburbs and looked out the window. On a desolate dirt road, there were wilderness and mounds on both sides. Just in the middle of the dirt road, a dilapidated house stood alone, with a red lantern hanging at the door, swaying in the wind.
I no longer feel this gloomy and weird scene, because I know that it is Huangquan Inn.
Although until now, I don’t know how the Huangquan Inn, located at the Sanchakou of the Underworld, appeared in the world, but I know that this is definitely the world, because looking back, the neon lights of the city are not far behind me.
The car stopped slowly, and Conan looked back at me. I knew it and reached out to find the money to pay the bill. But he shook his head and said, "I have given you fifty last time. According to the market for the underworld currency, I will calculate the monthly subscription for me, and it will be valid within thirty days."
I burst into laughter, thanked him, then got off the bus, and stood at the intersection leading to Huangquan Inn.
I was a little nervous, but I still plucked up the courage to walk over. However, as soon as I walked to the door of Huangquan Inn, I saw the uncle standing there, smiling and nodding at me, Grandma Long was already waiting for me.
I looked up at the dark big characters in Huangquan Inn, took a deep breath, and walked in.
This was the first time I walked into Huangquan Inn, and I walked in while I was alive. It was a bit awkward to say this, but when I saw Luang Po sitting in Huangquan Inn and looking at me with a smile, I felt at ease.
Although this old lady is a little gloomy, her smile is still quite kind and has a sense of kindness.
So I told her about the things I had after returning from the underworld these two days, and at the same time asked questions about the special situation in my body, why is my body empty now?
Luang Po explained that this is because after I ate Qingming Fruit last time, I did not stay in the underworld to digest and absorb, and then returned to the human world, causing the energy of Qingming Fruit to be hidden in my body. Once I feel weak in my power, Qingming Fruit will take the opportunity to exert force. The special phenomenon that occurred after I drew a lot of talismans last time was caused by the power of Qingming Fruit.
The consequence of this is that I cannot merge the two forces well and eventually turn them into my own power. Instead, I will leave this power from the underworld in my body, always ready to occupy my body.
So, yesterday I was exhausted too much and my mental power was difficult to recover for a while. It was because of this reason. In other words, it was Qingming Fruit that was secretly causing trouble to prevent me from recovering my energy.
After hearing Luang Po’s explanation, I was very surprised. In this way, the Qingming Fruit not only failed to help me, but also became a burden and a burden. Can this power be eliminated?
Luang Po shook his head and said that it could not be removed. The only way is to let this power continue to grow. Although this is not your own power, it can be used by you after all. It is just that this is equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst. Although my power will increase greatly in the short term, no one knows what will happen in the later stage.
She asked me to take a green bean fruit every other month, which is the reason. It's like taking drugs. Once you get addicted, you will never be able to leave it. Otherwise, my strength will never recover.
This time I was shocked and angry. I stood up and wanted to settle the score with the uncle. If he hadn't given me this Qingming Fruit for no reason, this would not have caused this situation.
Luang Po stopped me and said, "It was her intention to give me Qingming fruit, to consolidate my soul and help me practice, because at that time, she wanted to keep me at Huangquan Inn.
Now, if I want to solve this problem, I can only continue to eat Qingming Fruit. If there are any adverse reactions or special conditions, I can come to Huangquan Inn to find her at any time. This is also the real reason why she asked me to come once a month.
I had no choice but to take another Qingming Fruit as she said. Then, after a little pain, my strength finally came back.
I bid farewell to Luang Po and returned to the city. It seems that I cannot live without this damn Qingming Fruit in the future.
That night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and I was going home tomorrow. I don’t know what would be waiting for me in my hometown.
