Nan Tang sat on the brocade stool beside the bed and said softly, "I happened to be passing by and heard the sound of fighting coming from the woods, so I went in to take a look. Unexpectedly, I saw Miss Zhao lying on the ground with blood on her lips. She seemed to be seriously injured. So I brought Miss Zhao to the other courtyard."
Just then, Ah Man came in with a bowl of black Chinese medicine and said in surprise, "Girl, you're awake!"
Nan Tang took the medicine from Ah Man and stirred it slowly with a spoon. "The doctor came to see Miss Zhao and said she had internal injuries. He prescribed a prescription. This medicine is a bit bitter, please bear with it, Miss Zhao."
Xue Huan couldn't help but feel a little strange after hearing these words. Was this young master of Southern Tang so gentle and caring towards everyone? Or was he just like this to her?
Xue Huan felt that this was only the second time she met this young master from Southern Tang. Even though she was very afraid of hardship, she would not show it in front of him, otherwise it would seem like she was acting like a spoiled child.
She took the medicine bowl with a very calm expression, "Good medicine tastes bitter, I'm not afraid."
Although he said this, when he drank it, his whole face wrinkled because of the bitterness.
A short pain is worse than a long one. She blew into the bowl with great courage and drank the whole bowl of medicine in a gulp. If you didn't know, you would think she was drinking some sweet soup.
After putting down the bowl, she immediately went to her purse to take out a piece of candy to sweeten her mouth.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a piece of candied fruit was brought to my mouth.
The hand holding the candied fruit was white and slender, with prominent joints. It had the warmth of jade and the coolness of bamboo, and was so beautiful that it made people salivate.
Xue Huan looked up along the hand and met her master's calm and focused eyes.
"Open your mouth."
Xue Huan opened her mouth subconsciously, and then she felt a sweetness in her mouth. The candied fruit was put into her mouth by Nan Tang.
Xue Huan: “!!!”
Is this Nan Tang trying to flirt with her?
Xue Huan felt uncomfortable. Why had she opened her mouth just now? She chewed and swallowed the candied fruit whole, then coughed lightly. "Thank you, Master Nan, for saving me. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, please let me know. It's getting late, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."
Nan Tang did not force her to stay, but just sent her out, "Goodbye, Miss Zhao." He watched her get on the carriage.
The curtain of the car was lowered, blocking the man's sight, and Xue Huan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know why she felt relieved.
When the carriage was halfway through its journey, Xue Huan suddenly remembered Guan Yue, who had been taken to Zheng Yunu's lair, and hurriedly turned the carriage around and headed towards the Ghost Weeping Forest.
After entering the forest, she went straight to the big locust tree where Zheng Yunu lived. When she arrived at the place, she saw that the big locust tree had fallen to the ground. The trunk was a black color as if it was soaked in ink, and there were many corpses piled up in the tree hole.
Guan Yue was lying next to him.
There is still some negative energy left in his body.
And his complexion is not very good, with a cold white color as if he has not seen the sun for years.
Xue Huan knew that this was because Zheng Yunu had absorbed some of his vital energy.
Jingqi is the "essence" in the essence, spirit and essence, and can also be understood as the vital energy in the human body, which is related to the foundation of a person's body.
This thing is just like blood. It's no big deal if some of it is lost. It can be replenished through tonics and rest, so Xue Huan was not too worried.
As long as too much is not sucked in at one time, there is no danger to life.
She expelled the evil spirit from Guan Yue's body and injected spiritual power into him.
Guan Yue woke up and thought the person in front of him was a female ghost, so he attacked her directly.
Xue Hua grabbed his hand and said, "Master Guan, it's me."
Guan Yue saw her face clearly and realized that he had attacked the wrong person.
He propped himself up on the ground and sat up, looking around. "Miss Zhao, where is the female ghost?"
Xue Huan recounted what happened next, of course, omitting some details that were inconvenient to discuss.
She did not mention that the female ghost Zheng Yunu was currently staying in her sea of consciousness, she only said that she had beaten the female ghost to death.
Guan Yue thanked Xue Huan, then investigated the scene. Sure enough, he found several relatively fresh corpses, all of whom were men whose essence had been sucked dry by Zheng Yunu.
Looking at the corpses and the piles of bones hidden at the roots of the locust tree, Xue Huan sighed. These were all the sins committed by Zheng Yunu.
It is undeniable that Zheng Yunu was pitiful and miserable, but this is by no means a reason for her to kill so many people. Even those she killed were not entirely innocent.
Once I bring her to Yujing City to get rid of her obsession, she will probably be reincarnated in the underworld. At that time, her sins will be judged by the underworld.
It was already evening when Xue Huan returned to the Zhao residence. After dinner, she returned to her room and entered the space.
Lying in the hot spring pool in the bathroom, the fatigue she had been suppressing suddenly surged up. She leaned back against the pool wall, feeling the tiny fish in the pool kissing her skin, and replayed the scenes of her fight with Zheng Yunu today in her mind.
First of all, she had cultivation but no corresponding combat power, so she injured 800 of her own while injuring 1,000 enemies. In the end, she was possessed by Zheng Yunu. If it weren't for her strong spiritual sense, she might have succeeded.
The means of fighting must be learned.
Although she had received a small part of the Five Elements Immortal's memory before, she mainly focused on some miscellaneous studies, such as talismans, formations, refining, etc., and only learned some basic spells, such as cleaning, fireball, vine, etc.
The reason for this is that she has no sense of crisis. She thinks that the spiritual energy is thin nowadays, cultivation is difficult, and there will be no cultivators with high cultivation. With her cultivation level at the peak of Qi Refining, she has nothing to be afraid of if she encounters a cultivator.
Just like that national teacher, his cultivation was only at the middle stage of Qi Refining, and his means of fighting the enemy were pitifully poor. He couldn't even break through an illusion array she had casually set up.
But Zheng Yunu, whom she met today, gave her a wake-up call.
Ghosts do not need any spiritual energy to practice. They feed on resentment, essence, and souls. As long as they continue to devour these things, their strength can grow infinitely.
Evil spirits have no physical form, and ordinary physical means cannot harm them at all, but they can deal with humans, and their lethality is extraordinary.
She has been attacked by ghosts twice so far, and there is no guarantee that she will not encounter it again in the future, so she must master a technique specifically for dealing with ghosts.
This way, when I encounter her again in the future, I can use special methods to deal with her, instead of wasting a lot of energy and blood to subdue the female ghost like today.
Xue Huan carefully reviewed the memories of the Five Elements Immortal from beginning to end, and sorted out the useful things into categories.
The anecdotes category contains various experiences of the Five Elements Immortal during his travels, which will help her broaden her horizons after digestion.
Miscellaneous category, including knowledge on talismans, formations, pills, tools, etc.
