Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Who knows that extreme wisdom will lead to harm and ruin one's own body? ...
It was the beginning of winter, and the land of the barbarians was covered with flying sand and deserted.
In such a barren land, only the bright and pale moon hanging in the sky makes Yunqin feel that he is still in the world.
On a winter night twelve years ago, the last remaining servant took the young Yun Qin and fled to the land of barbarians, thus deterring their enemies from pursuing them.
There are terrifying things here, enough to make those chasing them feel fear and hesitation, and stop.
Yunqin seemed to have been accustomed to such scenes. With his still young eyes and eyebrows, he looked at the servant indifferently as he cried and told his troubles.
"Sir, it was Uncle Zhao who failed to protect you and Miss Yun'er. I will avenge you in my next life..."
"Uncle Zhao," Yun Qin raised his eyes to the faintly shimmering moon in the sky, not letting him continue. "You're tired."
Yunqin knew what Zhao Bo was going to say, but it was difficult for a living person to fulfill such an illusory promise, so what good would it do to a dying person?
Uncle Zhao looked at Yun Qin, who was covered in wounds, and took out the few remaining medicines from his pocket. He was already running out of them. "Master, take these medicines. You must... return to the Yun family... I'm sorry..."
Yun Qin looked at him indifferently, and his guilt before death did not arouse his sympathy.
Uncle Zhao finally died.
Finally, he was the only one left. Blood flowed from the corner of Yun Qin's lips, and he looked at his body covered with scars with self-mockery.
How can he go back in this state?
What's the point of going back?
Two years of survival were already unnecessary. The cold wind blew up the sand, and Yun Qin let the wind and sand slowly cover him.
"Whose young master is being chased by his enemies and is trapped here again?" The old man, who looked neither human nor ghost, grabbed Yun Qin's collar, lifted him up and looked him over carefully. "Kid, don't look like you're going to die."
Yunqin was indeed going to die, at least that was how he felt.
He felt that the moment he was lifted up, blood began to flow uncontrollably from his wound.
He opened his eyes, and there was no emotion in his light brown eyes. He just looked at this guy with a mocking smile and a dark look that did not suit his age.
"The legendary barbarian king, the human-faced ghost, turned out to be nothing more than a defeated general. You are a little older than me, so what's the difference between you and me?"
These words irritated the human-faced ghost, and Yun Qin was thrown onto the hard stone pillar as if in revenge. His internal organs seemed to be shattered in extreme pain, and blood spurted out of his mouth, but Yun Qin continued to provoke the human-faced ghost.
"You know who I am, and you still dare to say such things?"
The human-faced ghost was the legitimate son of a family of miraculous doctors and had an extremely high talent in medicine.
Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time, his brothers fell out with each other, and he was framed and abandoned by his relatives and outsiders, ending up in this situation.
Yun Qin leaned against the stone pillar and smiled indifferently: "Who are you? A lonely abandoned child? Only abandoned children would be exiled to this place..."
The human-faced ghost made a fatal move. Just before breaking Yun Qin's neck, he lifted Yun Qin's head and reacted, "You want me to kill you quickly? Are you deliberately provoking me?"
Yun Qin felt dizzy and the only thing he could see clearly was the light of the moon halo. The human-faced ghost naturally caught the moonlight reflected in Yun Qin's eyes and the faint despair. After all, he was young and his ability to hide his emotions was far from enough. His act of seeking death was seen through.
The human-faced ghost threw Yun Qin to the ground and said, "You're right. You and I are both abandoned. It's really boring to be alone. But now the fun is about to begin. You want to have fun, but I won't give you that."
Even after hearing this, Yun Qin remained as still as a pool of stagnant water without any ripples.
He ignored the human-faced ghost. At his age, he didn't cry or make a fuss, and was heartless and calm, as if he was crazy.
The human-faced ghost brought Yunqin to the cold forest. They landed on a not-so-tall cedar tree and stood on the top of the pine tree to watch.
Countless people on the ground in the distance were fighting for survival like trapped beasts in a fighting arena.
"Why did you bring me here?" Yun Qin didn't think he was any different from the people below. In such a world, there would be no comfortable people and no comfortable things.
"They are all tools of Tianque. Tianque mainly trains them to be the most powerful assassins and be loyal to Tianque."
The human-faced ghost pointed to the cold pond below the cedar tree and sneered, "In fact, if we just throw them all into the cold pond and let them soak for a few years, their power will increase greatly."
Yun Qin was initially skeptical. He said, "If that were true, wouldn't everyone in the world become a master if they all came here to soak?"
The human-faced ghost smiled sinisterly, "They didn't come because they don't know the ins and outs. But if they knew, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to come."
Yun Qin looked at him calmly, "So, you want to test whether I dare or not?"
The human-faced ghost looked at Yun Qin with admiration. "You are too precocious, child. But you didn't know that too much wisdom can only harm your body. You are so poisonous that you should not survive. If you were just an ordinary child, I would have killed you long ago. But as the saying goes, 'The wisest of men are the most cunning, the wisest of men.' I will try to keep you here and see if this cold pond is what I imagined it to be."
In the cold forest, no one dared to approach here.
The human-faced ghost threw the bruised Yun Qin into the icy pool of water. The moonlight could not penetrate the water surface, and darkness stained his heart. He was extremely poisonous, frosty, and tortured. Day after day, year after year, Yun Qin suffered for six years.
But six years later, the water in the cold pond and the poison of the frost flowers only helped him and did him no real harm.
"Young Master Yun has been reborn. Isn't it time to fulfill what you promised me six years ago?"
The cedar tree that stood above the cold pond had grown strong and tall. Yun Qin was hidden among the cedar trees, as if they were one.
The young man, perched atop a cedar tree, gazed at the distant crowds fighting. His eyes were calm. He didn't rush to answer the human-faced ghost's questions. Instead, he quietly reminded him, "The one you should worry about now is yourself."
The human-faced ghost lowered his head to look at the back of his hand, which was covered with poisonous lines. The lines continued to snake up to his sleeves. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "I have passed on all my poison treatment skills to you. After all these years, I just wanted to see if you had the ability to surpass me. God has rewarded me. It seems that my long-cherished wish will soon be fulfilled."
Yun Qin finally glanced sideways, a smile floating in his eyes, warm yet distant, not reaching his eyes, "Aren't you curious?"
Human-Faced Ghost: "I'm curious why the water from the cold pond can't cure the poison you created? If you're not as skilled as others, you have no right to ask."
Yun Qin smiled faintly, his blunt words hinting at a hint of cruelty: "Because it's not poison, it's a Gu."
If a person is really determined to die, nothing can stop him. The human-faced ghost realized for the first time whether it was all his plan from the beginning to the end.
The snow fell quietly. The human-faced ghost looked at the young man in front of him, who was already difficult for him to see through, and warned him in a deep voice: "You can poison me, but you must not put a curse on me. Yunqin, what do you want to do?"
Yun Qin said calmly: "If you want to accomplish something, you must pay a price."
The human-faced ghost looked into the distance and a figure came into his sight. It was Yun Yan, the person whom he hated to the core, whom he could recognize even if he turned into ashes. Finally, he appeared before him again.
Yun Qin: "I can help you deal with him, torture him, and make him lose everything around him, but you should know the premise."
The human-faced ghost grabbed the boy's collar and stared at him: "You Yun family members are born with many tricks. For someone like you, I really want to see how you will go on in the future."
The young man was handsome and upright, with a ruthless and indifferent look between his eyebrows. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, "It's a pity that you can't see it."
Just before they fell into the cold pond, the human-faced ghost cursed: "Yunqin, I will turn into a fierce ghost and stare at you. If you don't fulfill my wish, you..."
The water ripples rose and fell, and Yun Qin's eyes were stung and hurt. He closed his eyes slightly, and in a trance, he seemed to hear another voice.
"elder brother……"
A frost flower floated across Yunqin's eyebrows, and his tea-colored eyes suddenly opened in the water. Jiang Daiyi no longer had the strength to hold her breath and looked very uncomfortable. She used her last strength to call Yunqin.
Yunqin grabbed Jiang Daiyi from the water and brought her to the shore.
Jiang Daiyi vomited blood, and the toxins in her body had dissipated by 60%, and her vision had gradually recovered. In this way, Yun Qin was confident that he could completely eliminate the toxins for her.
Yunqin picked up Jiang Daiyi.
Si Wu was already waiting in front of the cold pond with his carriage. He said to Yun Qin as he approached, "Master, where are we going?"
Yun Qin: "A small county town."
Jiang Daiyi had not yet recovered from the frost flower poison. Without the feeling of dying in the water, the pain in her body became more and more obvious.
I didn't expect that frost flowers would be so painful when they touched people.
She looked up at Yun Qin weakly.
Yun Qin took out some painkilling pills and fed them to Jiang Daiyi. He fled the palace in a hurry and did not bring any maid with him. Judging from Jiang Daiyi's current condition, she probably didn't even have the strength to move, so he could only use his internal energy to help Jiang Daiyi dry her clothes.
Jiang Daiyi kept staring at Yunqin.
A gentle smile appeared in Yun Qin's eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you curious about why I'm not poisoned by the Frost Flower?"
Jiang Daiyi took Yun Qin's pain-relieving pill, and after the pain subsided a little, she was finally able to speak. She hugged him like she did when she was a child.
"Brother, are you in pain?"
Yun Qin's expression was slightly stunned, but the internal force in his hands did not stop.
She recalled the past: "I seem to have seen you in the icy forest when I was young, but I didn't know then that you were my brother. Today, my brother accompanied me to the cold pond and was unaffected by the frost flowers. This means that you have experienced this kind of pain before, right?"
Yun Qin's eyes were like broken jade, dotted with stars. There was a hint of red at the corners of his eyes, and the expression in his eyes was so complicated that it was unpredictable.
In the cold forest covered with snow from the previous year, when Jiang Daiyi was in despair, she saw a shadow in plain clothes floating in the deep and silent pool, and her sad expression was reflected on the shore. At that time, she was not thinking about saving people, but even if she had the strength to save them, would they kill each other after saving them?
Her eyes were filled with sadness as she said, "It turns out that my brother has also been in pain these years."
