Fourth Prince Xiao Yu suffers from a strange illness. When it acts up, he feels intensely ashamed and his heart becomes extremely humble. Even when his "moonlight" shines on him, he shrinks...
Chapter 182 Space Tearing
Xu Chuchu's master was named Xu Ailian, who passed away due to illness when Xu Chuchu was in his sophomore year.
Xu Chuchu has no parents, and her master is her closest person. She was sad about this for a long time. It was Daju who stayed with her all the time and tried every way to make her happy that helped her come out of the shadows.
After she came to the Xia Dynasty, she first thought her master was alive because of the hexagram, then after seeing Daju, she thought he was not. Now that she found out that he was really there, her emotions were up and down, and the excitement in her heart was indescribable!
She now hates the Xia Dynasty, hates its feudalism, discrimination against women, and wants to forget this failed relationship... But because her master was "resurrected" in the Xia Dynasty, her favorability towards the Xia Dynasty has skyrocketed again!
If she could still live with her master, she would like to stay here forever!
The master was awakened by Xu Chuchu's excited voice. He struggled to open his eyes and saw the girl he hadn't seen for a long time but was very familiar with. He was surprised and said, "Is it... Chuchu?"
Xu Chuchu rushed into her master's arms: "It's me, Master, it's me! I thought I would never see you again!"
The master was knocked to the ground by her, but he still hugged her with a smile: "I knew that our Chuchu was smart and capable, and that we could live well in ancient times."
Xu Chuchu's tears suddenly came out.
The fear when he first came to the ancient times, the discouragement of losing his cultivation, and the emotional setbacks... were all released in the arms of the master.
As expected, no matter how strong you think you are, you will feel wronged unconsciously when you meet the person who once sheltered you from the wind and rain.
Others followed in to watch the reunion between master and disciple.
Daju was smiling. Xu Zhe was a little confused when he saw the legendary senior sister for the first time. Ah Fu also stood on tiptoe in the back row to take a sneak peek, wanting to see who the master of such a powerful Master Xu was.
However, the master's condition does not seem to be very good.
She was smiling, but her face was pale and exhausted. She didn't notice it when she was asleep, but when she woke up, she looked ten years older than when she and Xu Chuchu parted ways. Even her breathing was heavier than that of an ordinary person.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xu Chuchu asked, suddenly remembering Xu Zhe's "selling sword to save mother".
She had spent five hundred taels to buy the sword and thought it was a good deal, but now, looking at the environment they lived in and how haggard her master looked, she felt heartbroken.
Xu Zhe even sold the family heirloom for his master, but he spent so much time hanging out with that bastard.
The master smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just an old problem."
"Let me show you." Xu Chuchu helped his master up and injected spiritual power into his body.
Xu Zhe felt a little hope upon seeing this. He had always heard that the senior sister was extremely talented and had reached the peak of the seventh level at such a young age.
Now that she is back, there must be hope for Master's recovery.
Xu Chuchu was examining his master, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
She discovered that her master's cultivation level was still at the fifth level, but the spiritual power in his body was extremely chaotic, running around without any order and could not be controlled at all.
Such a collision of spiritual power not only easily consumes a person's physical and mental strength, but is also more likely to damage organs in the chaos. Although the damage to the human body is not fatal, the body cannot bear it in the long run.
"How could this happen?" Xu Chuchu's joy at seeing his master was instantly extinguished. "Master, when did this condition begin? Were you injured?"
The master still smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm old, that's how it is, don't worry about it Chuchu."
Xu Zhe couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward: "Master, stop trying to hold on. Just tell the truth!"
"That's right, Master." Daju always followed Xu Chuchu and called him Master. "Chuchu is very capable. He must have a way to cure you."
Xu Chuchu nodded: "Also tell me when you came here and what happened during this period of time."
So a few of them talked one after another and finally explained what had happened clearly.
Master and Daju both suddenly came to ancient times more than two years ago, at the same time as Xu Chuchu, but the three appeared in different places.
During this period, the master adopted Xu Zhe, who was wandering around and almost starving to death. While teaching him physiognomy, he also made a living by doing business of exorcising ghosts and reading faces. It can be said that they depended on each other for survival.
A year ago, the master heard that there was a cat demon causing trouble in a village, so he went to subdue it. He discovered Daju, a big orange cat, stealing food from every house, and they naturally gathered together.
After the two sides met, they firmly believed that Xu Chuchu must have come as well, so they wandered around looking for her.
But Xu Chuchu was not found, and the master's health was getting worse day by day.
I am sleepy, lack energy, and am visibly aging. I have seen countless doctors but to no avail. I can only rely on tonic elixirs to keep me going.
In order to make it easier to buy medicine, Daju and Xuzhe asked someone to build a few small bungalows on this vacant land for them to live in, and they would go to Beijing to purchase medicine every once in a while.
At first they could barely break even, but the master's illness gradually worsened and the amount of medication he needed increased, and the money he earned from the rituals was not enough to cover the cost.
Daju had some evil ideas and turned into a cat to steal money from rich people. He succeeded twice and thought that there were many rich people in the casino, so he went to the largest Yuelai Casino in Beijing to try his luck.
As a result, he was discovered as soon as he took action and was captured by the fortune teller guarding the place.
Daju never came back and Xu Zhe had no money to buy medicine, so he had to take the family heirloom sword to the casino to try his luck. Unexpectedly, he didn't get any news about Daju, and by mistake sold the sword to Xu Chuchu.
The five hundred taels of silver could indeed last for a while, but it had been mostly used up by now.
The only good news now is that Daju brought Xu Chuchu back!
After hearing this, Xu Chuchu almost understood everything.
Why did the hexagram tell her to go north, why was Daju knocked unconscious and appeared at the auction, why did she happen to meet Xu Zhe, etc.
The only thing she couldn't understand was that she was here because she had done something wrong and was being punished by heaven. Why were Master and Daju here? Daju could also make mistakes, and Master was really a good person who had never done anything wrong.
"It's a tear in spacetime." Hearing Xu Chuchu's doubts, the master coughed twice and explained, "Two years ago, someone here detonated a powerful energy formation. I don't know for what reason, and it may not have been successful, but the energy splashed out, tearing space apart and bringing us here."
A powerful energy array?
Xu Chuchu immediately thought of the energy pool in the palace.
If there was any place in the Xia Dynasty where a magic array powerful enough to tear open space could be set up, it would definitely be the imperial palace, and it was closely related to Yu Chan.
"You must have a solution!" Xu Zhe suddenly said to Xu Chuchu, "Aren't you the most powerful seventh-level physiognomist? Hurry and save Master!"
He had only been practicing for a short time and was only at the second level. He had no idea of Xu Chuchu's current level of cultivation and thought she was still at the seventh level. But Master and Daju both knew that she was only at the fourth level.
Daju retorted dissatisfiedly: "Do you think she can or can't? She is now..."
"I will recover to level seven as soon as possible." Xu Chuchu said calmly in front.
