Kyoto City, military compound.
At ten thirty in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Zhou Xi dragged his heavy feet along the road that was hot from the scorching sun.
Zhou Xi was very cold, the blood in his body seemed to have frozen, and his body was a little stiff.
The scorching sun shone on Zhou Xi, but he couldn't feel any warmth at all.
Zhou Xi knew his injuries were serious. The "evil spirit" had entered his body, and Zhou Xi had exhausted all his spiritual energy to expel it, but the aftereffects were also severe.
Closer and closer.
Zhou Xi looked at the door of his home which was more than ten steps away, tried his best to suppress the fishy sweet taste in his throat, and moved his legs vigorously.
Every time Zhou Xi lifted his legs, he used up all his strength.
This was the second time Zhou Xi felt so close to death. The first time was naturally when he was in the Yushan Sect's marrow washing pool.
However, when facing death for the first time, Zhou Xi didn't know that Zhou Yuanyuan would come to save him. At that time, Zhou Xi was full of despair.
But now, Zhou Xi knows that hope is right in front of him.
Zhou Xi had survived the bone-tearing and skin-tearing pain in the marrow washing pool, so there was no reason for him to be bullied by an "evil spirit" at his doorstep.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xi felt a surge of pride in his chest and quickened his pace.
A gray mist chased after Zhou Xi from behind.
"Chatterbox...zi, you seem to have good aptitude, why don't you become my follower! As long as you are willing, I will spare your life." A hoarse and sinister voice sounded in Zhou Xi's ears.
Zhou Xi didn't say anything, but just moved his legs vigorously.
"You ungrateful cultivator! My ancestor is in need of nourishing ingredients. Since you can't serve me, I'll just eat you today." This was the first time the "evil spirit" had encountered such a tough opponent as Zhou Xi, and it was in a bad mood. When had a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage dared to run and prance around in front of it? However, having heard that the cultivator's flesh and blood were delicious, the "evil spirit" couldn't wait to eat them.
The gray mist floated towards Zhou Xi and was about to wrap up Zhou Xi's body.
At this time, Zhou Xi had already walked to the gate of General Zhou's house. Zhou Xi threw himself forward and rushed into the gate of Zhou's house.
The gray fog didn't expect Zhou Xi to escape its coverage. After pausing in mid-air for half a second, it quickly swarmed over him.
The defensive formation of General Zhou's house automatically activated, and a golden light flashed on the door, illuminating the gray fog.
With a "hiss!", a large piece of the gray fog was directly melted away.
Danger!
The gray fog quickly retreated and fled directly back to the Zhu family.
Seeing that the "evil spirit" was scared away by the Zhou family's defensive formation, Zhou Xi couldn't help but relax, and with a "wow" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was a little black in color and smelled fishy and pungent.
After Zhou Xi spat out the blood, he seemed to have lost all his energy and sat down on Lin.
Zhou Yuanyuan had a dream last night, and all of her dreams were about Wen Ziqing. The gentle Wen Ziqing, the cold Wen Ziqing, the Wen Ziqing who played pranks with her, the Wen Ziqing who looked at her with a doting face, the Wen Ziqing who cooked with an apron...
After Zhou Yuanyuan woke up, she smiled foolishly for a long time before sitting on the bed and starting to practice.
Just after finishing practicing a big Zhou, Zhou Yuanyuan opened her eyes and heard some movement in her yard.
Zhou Yuanyuan flashed to the window and just saw Zhou Xi vomiting blood.
"Grandpa Xi!" Zhou Yuanyuan exclaimed.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't care about escaping from the gray fog. With a flash of her body, she "floated" out of the window and stood in front of Zhou Xi.
"...Sister." Zhou Xi opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood. The color of this blood was different from the previous one. It had returned to its normal bright red color and no longer had that fishy smell.
Seeing Zhou Xi's miserable appearance, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't waste any words and directly pressed her finger on Zhou Xi's pulse.
A few seconds later, Zhou Yuanyuan took out a jade bottle from the trial space of the Chaos Pearl, unplugged it, poured out a fragrant yellow-brown pill from it, and stuffed it into Zhou Xi's mouth.
Taking the medicine - pouring the medicine - feeding the medicine, this series of actions were performed by Zhou Yuanyuan as smoothly as flowing water, taking less than a second.
Before Zhou Xi could react, Zhou Yuanyuan's medicine had already been fed into his mouth.
The pill melts in your mouth, leaving behind a refreshing fragrance.
Half a minute later, Zhou Xi's pale face turned visibly red.
Zhou Xi felt it most deeply. The pill transformed into a warm current, sliding down his throat. It swirled around his abdomen and transformed into a ball of warm air, flowing through his internal organs and limbs. As the warm current passed through him, the gloomy energy in Zhou Xi's body was gradually forced out.
"Sister, thank you so much." Two minutes later, Zhou Xi said thank you with a pale face.
The grayish paste on Zhou Xi's face is the negative energy discharged from his body.
Zhou Xi's internal organs were invaded by the Yin Qi of the "evil spirit". If Zhou Yuanyuan didn't have the right medicine, Zhou Xi would have been half dead in half an hour.
"Grandpa Xi, where did you get injured? Why is there so much negative energy in your body?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked curiously.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew that with Zhou Xi's strength in the Qi Refining Stage, in this secular world, as long as he didn't run into the group of cultivators in the Langyuan Secret Realm, although Zhou Xi couldn't walk sideways, he would have few rivals.
Zhou Xi blushed. He really didn't know how to answer Zhou Yuanyuan. Was he stupid, almost getting tricked by Zhu Xiangyang? Or was Zhu Xiangyang also stupid, mistaking a statue of a "Shadow Evil Spirit" for an ordinary statue? Before the truth was revealed, Zhou Xi didn't want to think too badly of Zhu Xiangyang.
Half an hour ago, Zhou Xi received a call from Zhu Xiangyang urging him to go to Zhu's house to destroy the statue.
Zhu Xiangyang visited Zhou Xi yesterday. There was a wooden statue in his study that made him feel uncomfortable. Zhu Xiangyang also suspected that his illness was related to the statue, so he asked Zhou Xi to help destroy it.
Zhou Xi didn't expect Zhu Xiangyang to hide it from him, so he agreed immediately.
Zhou Xi thought the statue, which made people feel uncomfortable, was a statue tainted with evil spirits. Destroying a statue tainted with evil spirits was a piece of cake for a cultivator.
Unexpectedly, such a seemingly simple task almost cost Zhou Xi his life.
"Grandpa Xi, can't you tell me?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Xi didn't say anything for a long time.
"Sister, I promised someone to keep it a secret, so..." Zhou Xi thought about it and decided not to tell Zhou Yuanyuan about it. Promising Zhu Xiangyang to keep it a secret was one thing, but in fact, Zhou Xi was afraid that it would make things difficult for Zhou Yuanyuan.
He is a servant of the Zhou family, and Zhu Xiangyang and General Zhou are good friends. Zhou Xi doesn't want to embarrass Zhou Yuanyuan because of his mistake.
