Chapter 355: A Breath of Life
The eldest princess was stunned at first.
Then, he suddenly looked at Xie Yingmian, his eyes wide open, with shock in them.
Yu Lingye felt that Xie Yingmian was being a bit too aggressive.
The eldest princess is not in a condition suitable for stimulation.
He tugged at Xie Yingmian's sleeve.
Xie Yingmian gave Yu Lingye a reassuring look.
Chu Xiao is the eldest princess's thorn in her heart.
Only by untying Chu Xiao's knot in her heart can the Grand Princess have a chance to survive.
"How did you know?" The eldest princess's eyes became sharp.
Yu Lingye said, "Let me tell you."
"Pei Xun and Jingyun Aoyun went to Feiyang County to look for herbs to treat me, but they lost their tracks deep in the mountains. I sent people to help find them."
"The people I sent discovered that a small Feiyang County is hiding several forces."
"My subordinates discovered during their investigation that one of the forces was protecting a coffin, and General Chu's body was hidden in a black coffin. We suspect this might have been done by you, Auntie."
Yu Lingye's words were half true and half false, and he omitted other key points.
The eldest princess was silent for a long time before she said, "Indeed, I did it."
"But you are wrong about one thing. Chu Xiao is not a corpse. He is not dead yet. He is still breathing. He will wake up. He will definitely wake up."
Xie Yingmian asked: "Because of the Immortality Stone?"
The Grand Princess was stunned: "You have even investigated this?"
Xie Yingmian: "Has Aunt been looking for the correct way to use the Immortality Stone?"
A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Grand Princess: "Yes."
"Could it be that you..."
Xie Yingmian nodded: "Yes, we found a very important clue."
"But for various reasons, we haven't really grasped it yet."
The eldest princess was a little disappointed.
After disappointment comes hope.
She asked, "Can the Immortality Stone really bring the dead back to life?"
Xie Yingmian shook her head: "No."
“Death is an irreversible process.”
"Whether it's plants, animals, or even humans, once dead, they're dead. Even the Immortality Stone can't bring them back to life."
The light in the eldest princess's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer.
Xie Yingmian changed the subject: "What I just said has a premise, death."
"If the body is not dead, but still hanging on to a breath, the Immortality Stone can bring it back to life because it has powerful repairing abilities."
The light in the eldest princess's eyes returned: "Can Chu Xiao wake up?"
"If he is still alive, yes." Xie Yingmian said.
"Alive, he is still alive." The eldest princess said, "He just can't wake up."
"For years, I have been searching for the correct way to use the Immortality Stone, but no matter how hard I searched, no matter how much I investigated, I could find nothing. I could only place the Immortality Stone next to him to sustain his final breath."
"I was about to give up..."
Having said this, the Grand Princess suddenly paused.
She looked into Xie Yingmian's eyes and smiled, "I understand. You're trying to use this method to inspire me to live, right?"
"You don't have to be like this. Life and death are determined by fate."
"This is the fate of Chu Xiao and me."
"No, I didn't lie to you." Xie Yingmian said, "If you'd like, please close your eyes and I'll let you feel it."
The eldest princess closed her eyes doubtfully.
Xie Yingmian took a few silver needles and inserted them into the Grand Princess's vital points.
The energy of the void stone that had been accumulated for a long time quickly flowed into the body of the eldest princess through the silver needles.
The energy quickly repaired the trauma that had accumulated over the years in the Grand Princess.
The originally lifeless body became lively again due to the injection of fresh energy.
The eldest princess clearly felt the changes in her body.
Vitality flowed through her limbs and bones along with the silver needles.
Because her eyes were closed, she could even see new leaves growing from her withered body.
It was a magical feeling that cannot be described in words.
She was immersed in this state and couldn't extricate herself.
Acupuncture is over.
The energy also came to an abrupt halt.
Xie Yingmian asked, "Aunt, how do you feel?"
The eldest princess slowly opened her eyes.
She couldn't believe it: "I...just now I seemed to see myself sprouting."
"Yingmian, I believe it." She held Xie Yingmian's hand and cried with joy.
"I just clearly felt a surge of pure and powerful energy. It's truly miraculous. I could feel my body withering away, but after your acupuncture, I feel like I can live a few more years."
Xie Yingmian chuckled.
The eldest princess was right, she could indeed live a few more years.
In addition to the restoration of the energy of the void stone,
More importantly, the eldest princess’s belief in living has increased.
There is a saying that goes, life is a breath.
A person who doesn't know that he has a terminal illness eats and drinks like a normal person.
Once you know you have a terminal illness, you will lose your breath and may die within just a few months.
No matter how skilled a doctor is, he cannot save a person who has no desire to live.
This is also the reason why she first made promises to the Grand Princess and then gave her treatment.
Seeing that the Grand Princess had already believed her promise, Xie Yingmian got to the point: "Aunt, you've just felt it. The energy of the Immortality Stone can give people a new lease of life."
"It's just that we haven't fully mastered the correct use of the Daoist Immortality Stone yet, so we can only do this much."
"So, we'd like you to help us."
The eldest princess thought that being able to achieve this was already very impressive.
She knew in her heart that Chu Xiao could not be saved by this alone.
"I know nothing about the Immortality Stone, so I probably can't help you."
Xie Yingmian said: "Not necessarily."
"I have a few questions for you, just answer them."
The eldest princess nodded and said, "Ask."
Xie Yingmian: "Who told you that the Immortality Stone can bring the dead back to life?"
The eldest princess shook her head: "I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"I really don't know." The eldest princess was silent for a moment. "One day, I received a box."
"Inside the box was a letter and a dark stone."
"The letter says that this stone can bring the dead back to life and asks me to prepare 100,000 taels of silver. Someone will come to collect it when the time comes."
"At first I thought it was a prank by someone trying to throw the black stone away. Coincidentally, I got the news that Chu Xiao was seriously injured and in a coma, hanging by a thread."
"All the doctors said Chu Xiao was incurable and that he would only die. I decided to try and put the black stone next to Chu Xiao. Although Chu Xiao didn't wake up, he didn't die either."
"I believed what was said in the letter and asked someone to prepare 100,000 taels of silver."
"I investigated the people who came to collect the money, but I couldn't find anything."
"So, I didn't know who gave me the Immortality Stone, and I didn't investigate the source of the information. At that time, I just wanted to grab a glimmer of hope."
Xie Yingmian grasped the key point: "General Chu Xiao was seriously injured after you obtained the black stone?"
