Chapter 21: Life and Death
She realized that the Ghost Control Technique had little effect on the evil spirits, and she was startled. She immediately changed her hand seals to another one, turning her palms up and down while chanting the technique.
"The Emperor of Heaven commands the Thunder God to descend. He reaches up to the Infinite, and reaches down to the netherworld. Yin and Yang unite, energizing the Kui Gang. His mighty power slays with thunder and lightning. The three realms obey the command, the sun and the moon radiate. Mists billow, rivers and seas roar. I summon the generals to descend with haste. Come to the altar and receive my orders. Slay the evil spirits. Mandrills and demons will be reduced to dust. Move mountains and overturn hills, Yuanheng Lizhen. General of the Fire Wheel, do not delay. Wherever the command is, carry it out with urgency."
"Hurry, as ordered! Shoot!"
The last word burst out of Qi Xu's mouth, causing the cabin to shake more violently, and even the door of the guest room creaked.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood swelled in her chest, quickly passed through her esophagus, rushed out of her mouth and sprayed behind the door.
When Qi Xu lost consciousness, she wanted to slap herself twice. She was afraid that she would not be able to change her nosy habit even in this second life.
Jiang Hongyi woke up instantly when the entire cabin was shaking, but all the guest room doors could not be opened due to the shaking. When he tried hard to open the door, the cabin shook even more violently and he could hardly stand.
Thanks to his good balance, he took advantage of the opportunity to open the door.
The first thing he saw when he walked out was Chen Lin hugging a man and fainted. He ran straight to the guest room where Qi Xu was with a look of disgust on his face.
When he pushed the door open and entered the room, he saw Qi Xu lying on the ground with blood on his mouth. His heart sank instantly. He half-knelt on the ground, picked up Qi Xu, carried him in a princess hug, and ran straight to the infirmary.
Probably because they had just experienced the shaking of the cabin, many people who were riding a boat for the first time were panicking and were now fleeing in all directions, causing the middle of the cabin aisle to be extremely crowded.
Jiang Hongyi tried his best to protect Qi Xu's head and drilled through the air.
Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the door of the infirmary. "Doctor, please help me take a look. My wife suddenly vomited blood."
The panic in his eyes was not fake, and the rapidly beating heartbeat beneath his heaving chest kept reminding him that this was true.
The doctor quickly put on a stethoscope and began to examine Qi Xu. After checking his entire body thoroughly, he finally confirmed his diagnosis.
"Captain Jiang, your wife must have vomited blood due to anger, and the lack of oxygen caused her to fall into a coma. If you can help her relieve her emotional distress and replenish her Qi and blood, she will be fully recovered within a month or two."
"I'll give her some nutrient solution first to boost her resistance and replenish her strength."
After the doctor finished explaining, he started looking for medicine, disinfecting, inserting the needle, and adjusting the infusion tube all in one go.
Jiang Hongyi sat beside the hospital bed, watching the nutrient solution in the infusion tube drop by drop. He looked up at Qi Xu's closed eyes and pale mouth, and suddenly felt heartbroken.
I don’t know how long I waited. The day dawned and then darkened again. Qi Xu regained consciousness in the evening of the next day.
She felt a calloused palm covering her entire little hand, and warmth spread from the fingers upwards.
I feel in my heart: It’s great to be alive.
When Qi Xu's fingers moved slightly, Jiang Hongyi was awakened. "Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
She moved her head slightly from side to side, "No, I'm fine."
A glimpse of black air caught her eye, which made her alarm bells ring. Turning her head to the left, she saw a ball of black and red turbid mist enveloping a vaguely visible little evil spirit. The corners of the evil spirit's mouth were raised, giving it a sinister smile no matter how you looked at it.
She remembered that the last incantation she chanted was the Five Thunders General Incantation, right? Why was this evil spirit now floating before her eyes...
Qi Xu was speechless. Not only was his small body weak, but even the effectiveness of the seal-binding technique was not even one tenth of what it used to be.
No, she just gives up?
Before she could further develop this idea, the little evil spirit seemed to have noticed that she had woken up and started dancing with joy.
…
What's the point of giving up? I'm afraid you won't be able to give up at all in your next two lifetimes.
"Hongyi, I'm hungry. Can you ask the restaurant to make me some porridge?"
The little evil spirit seemed quite interested in her, dancing and moving closer to her. As she spoke, the little evil spirit was almost sticking to her face. If she didn't send Jiang Hongyi away, she was afraid that the little evil spirit would take advantage of her weakness and dig out her eyes.
Jiang Hongyi knew that she must be hungry, so he didn't refuse and got up and walked towards the restaurant.
When she heard Jiang Hongyi's footsteps fade away, she spoke, "Don't get excited. Stay away from me. We can talk it over."
She looked up and met the little evil spirit's bloodshot eyes. It was really scary, so she quickly closed her eyes again.
"Hey! Kid, distance makes beauty, you know?"
The little evil spirit seemed to understand and floated back to its original position.
Qi Xu felt its breath drifting away, then he opened his eyes and started communicating.
"Little devil, why don't you continue to stay with your master?"
The little evil spirit tilted its head as if it was digesting what she said, and began to mumble something, but Qi Xu couldn't understand what it was saying.
The red and black turbid mist on the little evil spirit seemed to be much less than what she had seen on Chen Lin before.
She thought about it and decided that since there were fewer of them, she might be able to use her current mental strength to remove the filth attached to the little evil spirit.
It happened in a flash, "Come here, little ghost, lie on my shoulder." She beckoned the little evil spirit to get close to her, sat up cross-legged, and began to make seals and chant before the little evil spirit could react.
"I cleanse my body with the moon, and refine my true self with the sun. The immortals assist me, the jade maidens aid my form. The twenty-eight constellations follow my finger. On the left are the six Jias, on the right are the six Dings. In front are thunder and lightning, behind are wind and clouds. Thousands of evils and filth are expelled and purified."
"Hurry up and obey the command! Clear!"
A gust of air swirled around her body, and she felt refreshed for a moment. She turned her head and looked at the little evil spirit in a daze for a moment.
Who told her how the little evil spirit that removed the filth could be so beautiful?
No, that's not right. Now it should be called the little baby spirit. The white, chubby and milky body emits a soft glow that flickers.
"Wow! So comfortable! Hehe!"
At this moment, she seemed to hear the little baby spirit's soft and emotional voice.
!!!
What is this? Can we communicate now?
"Little devil, why don't you stay with your master?"
The little baby spirit found that it could understand what she said, and it waved its chubby hands up and down and started chirping.
"Master? No, bad mother, you smell good."
This intermittent answer made Qi Xu a little doubtful about the truth she understood.
If her guess was correct, Chen Lin should be the biological mother of this little ghost. The reason why it appeared in front of her was probably because it was attracted by her breath.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Lin is not as pure and cute as she appears to be. She probably did a lot of disgusting things behind the scenes.
“Crunch.”
The door of the infirmary was opened, and Qi Xu quickly adjusted his sitting position from cross-legged to straight and close-legged, leaning back against the pillow in a half-sitting position.
