Chapter 133 Taking the Pulse
Xia Yu'an turned around and saw that Xia Silan's face looked a little pale.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Xia Yu'an tilted his head and asked curiously.
Xia Silan took his hand off his abdomen and slightly avoided Xia Yu'an's hand: "Nothing."
He seemed to be avoiding something, as if there was something he didn't want himself to notice.
Xia Yu'an was confused, but if her brother didn't want to say, Xia Yu'an chose to respect him and not ask any further questions!
"Then I'll make some medicine for my brother!"
It just so happened that a batch of spiritual herbs that I had just grown outside the sect had just been harvested and could be used to make pills.
Give my brother some nourishment.
Delicious.
Xia Silan smiled and said, "Okay."
Xia Yu'an squatted in front of the stove to control the fire, thinking that although he would not ask any further questions, it would be better for him to quietly investigate what happened to his brother, otherwise he would be very worried.
If his brother was sick or had problems with his cultivation, he could make medicine for him in time.
The scene of her brother at the mass grave that day scared Xia Yu'an so much that she is still scared and doesn't want to experience it again.
Xia Yu'an was refining elixir at the furnace, while Xia Silan was alone in the room, his face pale, covering his lips with his hands on the flower pot: "Hmm..."
A bead of sweat trickled down his hair from his forehead.
As he raised his hand, a faint white spiritual power emerged in the palm of his hand. This spiritual power followed the movement of his hand and was pressed into his dantian.
Cultivators give birth to life, and children need the spiritual energy of their parents as nourishment.
The better the child's bones, the more nutrients he needs.
Because they are different from ordinary people, their parents have cultivated themselves, and their children are born with spiritual roots. The soil environment and nutrients required by Ganoderma lucidum and dogtail grass are naturally incomparable.
There is no comparison.
only……
Should An'er know about this?
How to tell An'er?
"elder brother!"
A call interrupted Xia Silan's thoughts.
Xia Silan narrowed his eyes and straightened his expression. The weakness he had just felt disappeared without a trace.
He already had excellent cultivation, and if it weren't for some pregnancy reactions, he would be fine.
Xia Yu'an tilted his head, his eyes full of inquiry and a little doubt, but this doubt was hidden very well.
"My pills are here."
"This pill can clear the mind and nourish the qi, improve the circulation of the meridians, and is very helpful for cultivation." Xia Yu'an took a step forward: "And...recover from illness."
Xia Silan nodded and reached out to take the pill: "Thank you, An'er..."
Xia Yu'an withdrew his hand and said quickly: "I'll feed you."
Before Xia Silan could react, Xia Yu'an had already kissed him.
He put his arms around Xia Silan's neck, stood on tiptoes, and pushed the pill into Xia Silan's mouth little by little.
The pill passed from the corner of Xia Yu'an's lips into Xia Silan's mouth.
Their lips and teeth exchanged, and both of their chests rose and fell.
A tingling sensation spreads from the point of contact.
Xia Silan's hands tightly grasped Xia Yu'an's waist, and blue veins appeared on the back of his hands.
Xia Yu'an's arms were a little soft, but they were still hanging on the back of Xia Silan's neck. The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and their intimacy, collision, and impulses were intertwined.
There's a certain throbbing in my heart that's ready to explode.
.
The Holy Heaven Secret Realm will soon open, and Kunlun is also selecting disciples.
Disciples who want to go can sign up. As a disciple of Zhijian Pavilion, Xia Yuan also has this opportunity.
Xia Yu'an signed up for himself because Xia Silan also wanted to go.
He was also very curious about what was in the legendary secret realm.
Take this opportunity to have a look.
But... there are too many people who have signed up, and the sect needs to screen them.
Therefore, before entering the secret realm, everyone must pass the trial and complete exclusive sect tasks to increase points. Only those who pass the test will be qualified.
Xia Yu'an chose a mission to deal with strange events.
In the area governed by Kunlun, there is a village called "Ankang Village". As its name suggests, the village has always been peaceful and happy, and has regularly paid tribute to Kunlun. However, recently demons have appeared in the village, and it is said that many incredible things have happened, causing panic among the people and making life uneasy.
"Brother, do you want to go take a look?"
Xia Yuan asked.
They have completed a lot of tasks together, but they were mainly to accumulate points for Xia Yu'an. With Xia Silan's identity, he did not need points.
It is said that the sect has discovered that this small secret realm is of great importance and is as difficult as the big secret realm.
The Holy Heaven Secret Realm is the same as many other large secret realms in that it appears once every three hundred years, but its overall area is smaller.
It is truly a "big secret within a small secret."
However, an unexpected guest arrived.
Shen Jianchen was dressed in green, with a Qingshui sword hanging from his waist. He was as graceful as a jade tree in the wind, and he bowed to the two of them: "Si Lan... Pavilion Master, His Royal Highness Prince Yu'an."
Shen Jianchen is the eldest senior brother of Wangxian Sect. This time the secret realm was opened near Kunlun, so many sects came to Kunlun in advance.
Others didn't know Xia Yu'an's identity, but Shen Jianchen had seen him.
Shen Jianchen looked at Xia Silan and said, "We have also accepted this mission. Can we go together?"
Xia Silan and Xia Yu'an looked at each other and said, "Okay."
They were going to exorcise demons, not to take care of personal matters. One more person means more strength, and they had no reason to refuse.
Although Xia Silan wanted to act alone, he was stopped by Xia Yu'an, so he was not that petty.
.
Ankang Village.
"Ankang, Ankang...Alas, how many people in our village are still healthy?" sighed an old lady sitting at the entrance of the village.
"What's going on, Grandma?" Xia Yu'an asked.
The old lady looked at their attire, her eyes lit up, and she was filled with hope: "You, you...are immortals from Kunlun?"
"Yes, we were sent by the sect to exorcise demons and monsters..."
The old lady knelt down with a thump: "My Immortal Lord! Thank you so much, my Immortal Lord, please save Ankang Village!"
Xia Silan looked reluctant, raised his fingers, and used his spiritual power to lift the old man up.
Xia Yu'an: "This is our duty, please speak slowly."
Seeing his brother's actions, Xia Yu'an couldn't help but think, he is indeed his brother, and he is with someone from the security team...
Huh? Guard? What is the Guard?
Some scenes flashed by, but Xia Yu'an still couldn't see them clearly or catch them.
"Hey, hey..." The old man responded several times before he slowly began to speak: "In Xiaokang's house at the south end of the village, strange noises were heard every night. Since then, the people in the village have been suffering from strange diseases. The men have been bedridden, and the women have no choice but to go out to make a living."
"Ahem, ahem..." The old lady's eyes were filled with sorrow, "If this continues, our health will no longer exist..."
"Xiao Kangjia, what's his last name?"
"The surname is Chen, the surname is Chen!" The old lady said: "His name is Chen Kang, and he has married two wives, a pair of sisters."
.
At night, Xia Yu'an, Xia Silan, Shen Jianchen and others came to the Chen family yard.
The legendary location of the accident.
Looking at the gloomy wind here, Xia Yuan: ...
This is not exorcising demons! This is haunting ghosts!
Xia Yu'an has completely sorted out the Chen family's past.
Chen Kang first married the younger sister of the two sisters, but for some reason she had no children. Later, the younger sister died suddenly and mysteriously, so he married the older sister.
The elder sister gave birth to several daughters for Chen**, some of whom died young, some became sick, and the elder sister died of hemorrhage during childbirth.
I heard that it was a full moon night.
There were still a few white sails hanging in the Chen family's courtyard, but no one was inside. I heard that everyone was dead.
My sister came over in a red dress, and everyone said she was the ghost bride.
However……
This is not a bride's dress at all. When the female ghost came closer, it became clearer that it was clearly a white dress stained with blood.
The woman was wearing a loose white undershirt, and her lower body was torn into strips. It was obvious that this was Chen Kang's second wife who died in childbirth!
The elder sister among sisters!!
“Men, men, huh…!”
"Everyone is an accomplice! They all deserve to die!"
After saying that, the female ghost threw a coquettish glance at Xia Yu'an.
"No one can escape my beauty... hehe..."
Xia Yu’an: Ah?
Me?
Xia Yu'an had an expression that said, "Am I paralyzed?"
The female ghost was stuck in the shell for a moment, obviously confused, and even fell into self-doubt for a moment.
But he regrouped immediately.
She twisted her waist and came towards me gracefully.
Xia Yuan: “.”
"I don't like women."
The female ghost was a little crazy: "..."
How come the oil and salt don't get into it? !
"Hehehe!" "Don't you really want to try it?"
The female ghost had a pale face, and to be honest, it was really eerie and scary.
But from her description, this attracted quite a few people.
Many men are really obsessed with sex and are not picky at all.
No matter whether you are a female ghost or a woman, no one will be spared.
These people died because they deserved it. It's not unfair.
The white flags around the house fluttered, and the long white silk ribbons used for memorial services in the yard also fluttered in the wind.
The ghost girl's hair began to grow longer, and as she did so, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the white flags almost fluttered at seventy degrees, as if they were about to leave the ropes and fly.
Her black hair covered her face, and her nails became sharp and began to bleed.
"Oh no, she has turned into a fierce ghost." Shen Jianchen on the side said solemnly, with some surprise in his tone. Judging from the appearance of this female ghost, it seems that she is not an ordinary fierce ghost!
Based on the existing information, Xia Yu'an inferred that Chen Kang's first wife, the younger sister of the sisters, was killed because Chen Kang wanted to have a son.
But somehow, Chen Kang ignored his sister's wishes and married her as his second wife.
I guess her family felt sorry for Chen Kang because she couldn't have children! They sold her to her brother-in-law like an object, not treating her like a human being.
My sister's child is in poor health because of Chen Kang.
Some of them should even be given away!
The ending is not good.
Just because they are girls.
My sister also died during childbirth...
"Eleven, eleven..." the female ghost kept repeating it.
"What is eleven?" a disciple asked.
Xia Silan lowered his eyelids and said in a cold voice: "Child."
"Children...what children? Eleven children?!" the disciples were terrified.
"Master, there is a soul-sacrificing banner buried underneath. It looks like it was made by mortals carelessly. It is very crude, but it has unknowingly gathered bad luck within a hundred miles!" a disciple reported.
The hostility generated by the ghosts within a hundred miles, plus the eleven children and the younger sister... as well as the resentment fostered by the female ghost herself, and the fact that they later harmed so many men, I'm afraid this female ghost has reached the level of the legendary "Kuiba".
Even if he is not "Kuiba", his strength is definitely stronger than weaker.
The ghost girl's nails grew longer, and a cold and eerie light shot towards everyone.
"Stand back!" Shen Jianchen glanced at Xia Silan, stepped forward, and was the first to respond.
The disciples were somewhat surprised, with strange expressions on their faces. The Pavilion Master... was the strongest among them.
However, although Shen Jianchen's sword was very fast, he was unable to suppress the powerful ghost. After more than ten blows, there was a flash of lightning. When he came to his senses, Shen Jianchen had already fallen to the ground, spitting blood.
The female ghost attacked again, and Xia Silan held the cold sword in his hand and responded calmly.
His clothes were like flowing light, and he had already made dozens of sword moves in an instant. The sword moves were so light and changing that it was impossible to see clearly. Only a white afterimage could be seen in the air.
And the crisp sound of sword energy.
Watching him attack, there is a sense of flowing water, which is very refreshing. Is this the path of sword practice to transcendence?
Everyone's eyes were filled with fascination, and some even began to comprehend the sword on the spot, their eyes lost in thought.
The female ghost's sharp claws made another move, but Xia Silan blocked it with her sword in her backhand. She felt a clear and pure air and her snow-white hair fluttered in the air.
His gaze was clear and firm, his hairband fluttered behind him, and it seemed as if clear snow was lingering around him as he used his spiritual energy.
Finally, Xia Silan retracted his sword attack and used the sword's spiritual energy to condense into chains to tie up the female ghost.
The female ghost was baring her fangs and claws. Although she was subdued and couldn't cause trouble or do evil, she was still furious and didn't look like she was being obedient at all.
"Take them back and put them in custody. As for the remaining eleven little ghosts, please ask the elders to purify them so they can be reincarnated." Xia Silan said coldly.
When the female ghost heard this, the threatening expression on her face with her fangs bared just now suddenly subsided. She looked at Xia Silan and became quiet.
Her long hair fluttered in the air, and her eyes seemed blank, as if in disbelief.
It was the first time that Xia Yu'an saw such a complex expression on a "ghost".
"Yes, Pavilion Master, will this female ghost be thrown into the Seven Star Pagoda in the future?"
You can tell this place is not a good place just by hearing it, because the disciple of Zhijian Pavilion used the word "investment".
But the female ghost didn't struggle or resist much, as if she was letting herself be dealt with.
It should be that the eleven children were able to enter reincarnation, which allowed the female ghost to let go of her obsession and emotional knot.
It seems that evil ghosts also have people they love and care about, but in fact, when it comes down to it, this female ghost is not an "evil ghost" at all. She is an innocent victim under the ancient uniform.
It's really fate that I have no choice but to become like this.
Many of the men in this village are accomplices, so there is no way to escape.
She punished them, and they got what they deserved.
"No need." Xia Silan said: "Take it to the Purification Pool for purification. If it can completely cleanse the evil spirit, it can also enter the reincarnation."
"Or, if you can't be reborn, leave it to Yulan Peak."
"yes!"
Xia Yu'an of Yulan Peak had heard that the peak master was a great woman with good character, so she would surely have proper arrangements.
If you need to atone for your sins, then do so. If you need to practice cultivation, then practice cultivation.
This is also the best place for this sister.
After everything was done, Xia Silan turned aside, avoiding everyone, without looking at Shen Jianchen as if he were a close friend or a powerful rival.
A drop of cold sweat rolled down.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xia Yu'an pinched Xia Silan's wrist, trying to take his pulse.
Xia Silan suddenly pulled his hand back and hid his arm behind his body.
