"Ah!" From the moment these flowers took shape to the moment they opened their mouths, it was only a moment. Liuli was startled. Her little face changed, and she jumped up and down, screaming, "What is that? What is that..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Shi Chan suddenly swept her up in his arms, allowing her to escape the giant flowers' bites. But in that brief moment, four or five giant flowers had already bitten Shi Chan's legs.
Shi Chan frowned and couldn't help but groan. With a thought, the Seven Treasures Kasaya quietly appeared, and the many Seven Treasures Stones on the kasaya detached from it and flew up, trailing golden tails over a foot long. They whizzed through the giant flowers, piercing dozens of holes in them. The golden light shone brightly, shattering the giant flowers into pieces.
The moment the giant flower dissipated, Shi Chan knelt down on the ground. He carefully placed the glass on the ground, then supported himself with his hands, trying to stand up. However, the effort only intensified the pain in his legs, forcing him to give up.
"Little monk!" Liuli hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground. She reached out to help Shichan up and asked anxiously, "Are you alright, little monk?"
Shi Chan's face was deathly pale. He forced a faint smile and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, young lady, you don't need to worry."
Liuli tried to help Shichan up a few times, but she couldn't. Her eyes suddenly turned and she saw that Shichan's legs were bleeding, and the blood had already soaked a large area on the ground.
Liuli's heart began to ache. She blinked, her eyes stinging with tears, and her voice choked with emotion as she stammered, "Little monk, your leg..."
Looking at Liuli's appearance, Shi Chan smiled gently and, enduring the pain, stood up with Liuli's support. His legs were so painful that he could barely feel them, but to reassure Liuli, he forced himself to stand and shook his head gently, saying, "I'm fine, Miss."
Tears welled up in Liuli's eyes and quickly streamed down her face. She choked out, "But your leg is still bleeding..."
"It's alright." Shi Chan's smile was somewhat pale, but it was still as gentle as ever.
Looking down, Liuli saw that there was still blood dripping from the cuffs of Shichan's trousers, and the hem of his monk's robe was torn in many places, the torn areas stained red with blood, making him look quite disheveled.
At this moment, Shi Chan tried to concentrate Buddhist power on his legs to stop the bleeding, but a strange magical force lingered on the deep wounds on his legs, which exposed the bone, making the wounds heal extremely slowly.
Liuli looked down and saw that the golden light on Shichan's leg suddenly intensified, but then it was dispersed by wisps of black magic. She keenly sensed that something was wrong. Looking at the blood gushing out of Shichan's leg, she knew that if this continued, his leg would be ruined.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Liuli's mind. In a panic, she reached into her robes and pulled out a black jade bottle from a hidden pocket. She uncorked the bottle, poured out a black pill, and said urgently, "Little monk, quickly eat this pill, quickly eat it..."
The pill contained demonic energy from the demon race, so Shi Chan refused to take it. He shook his head and said gently, "Is this the Demon Race's healing medicine, the Rejuvenating Pill?"
"Yes, that's right." Liuli didn't think too much about it. She nodded and said eagerly, "Little monk, hurry up and take this pill. I've personally witnessed its miraculous effects. Your leg will heal quickly after taking this pill!"
Shi Chan's legs buckled, and he almost knelt on the ground again, but he still firmly shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, young lady, since this medicine is from the demon race, this humble monk cannot take it."
"Why?" Liuli asked, startled.
Shi Chan looked at the pill with a hint of pity in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Does the young lady know why this medicine has such a miraculous effect?"
Liuli looked down at the black pill and shook her head in confusion.
"Amitabha." Shi Chan chanted a Buddhist prayer in a low voice, lowered his eyes and said, "This medicine is made by mixing the essence and blood of living people with various spiritual herbs. Just this small pill requires the essence and blood of a hundred people. When cultivators take it, they will naturally experience various miraculous effects, especially for external injuries."
Liuli's expression changed, and her hand holding the pill trembled, almost dropping it. No wonder she could always smell a trace of human essence in these Rejuvenation Pills.
After a moment of silence, Liuli watched as the blood pooled at Shichan's feet, his body swaying and growing weaker, his face deathly pale. Gritting her teeth, Liuli handed the pill to Shichan again, urgently saying, "We can't worry about that now, little monk, take the pill first!"
Shi Chan shook his head and said gently, "Eating one pill would cause the killing of a hundred people. I would rather die than eat such a thing."
Liuli grew impatient and snapped, "Little monk, you're such a blockhead! Now that this medicine has been made, no matter how it was made, it's still meant to save lives!"
Shi Chan was really struggling to stand, so he slowly sat down against the black wall of light, put his hands together, and shook his head, saying, "This humble monk thanks you for your kindness, young lady, but please forgive me, this humble monk really cannot take this pill. Young lady, you don't need to worry, it's just a superficial injury, this humble monk can heal himself."
Seeing Shi Chan's unyielding attitude, Liu Li couldn't help but stomp her foot in annoyance. Then, glancing at the gushing blood on his leg, she steeled herself and hastily chewed the pill. Next, she knelt on the ground, her small hands supporting Shi Chan's cheeks to keep him still. She leaned in and kissed his lips, using her nimble tongue to pry open his mouth and force the pill into his throat.
The familiar fragrance filled my nostrils, and the soft lips were so warm, warming me to the very depths of my heart, bringing a strange feeling that sent shivers down my spine.
Shi Chan opened his eyes wide to look at the small face so close to his. At that moment, she also opened her eyes, her cheeks flushed, which made her skin look even whiter and more like jade.
Only after Shi Chan swallowed the pill in a daze did Liu Li leave him. She quickly got up, turned around and faced away from Shi Chan, her face flushed, her mouth tightly closed and she remained silent.
Shi Chan stared blankly at Liuli's retreating figure for a long while before finally realizing what had happened. His face flushed crimson, and he closed his eyes, chanting a Buddhist prayer: "Namo Amitabha!"
His heart was beating so fast and intensely, as if it were about to leap out of his chest. Shi Chan was stunned, thinking that he had to do something to calm his heart. After a while, he closed his eyes and began to recite various scriptures.
Just then, the deep, bone-revealing wounds on his legs healed rapidly and soon stopped bleeding.
Liuli had her back to him, her face flushed, and a sweet smile played on her lips. She listened silently to Shichan's chanting behind her. Because she couldn't understand the obscure and difficult scriptures, she didn't know that Shichan was repeatedly mispronouncing these scriptures, which he had memorized since childhood.
