Many thoughts flashed through my mind. Did they abandon Yunwen because they couldn't save her? Did they bury her alive again? Or did the two sisters have other plans and wanted to keep only me, so they expelled Yunwen without permission? Anyway, there were many excuses. The sisters could make up any excuse and do something bad to cover it up.
I felt uneasy and blamed myself. I should have waited until I explained the whole process to the Song sisters before fainting. Now, because of this mistake, I have capsized in the gutter at home. I am really distressed and don't know what to do. I can only pin all my hopes on Yingchun to give me another answer. I hope things are not as I worried about!
However, the Song sisters have always been a bit cruel, and they would not keep anyone who drags them down or threatens them. And Song Yingchun has that kind of intention towards me, and her sister will definitely help her. Wouldn't it be better to get rid of the love rival at this great opportunity? Why would they keep him?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. In a short period of time, I was sweating and feeling extremely nervous and hot.
"Why do you look like a dead wife? Who are you making yourself so nervous for?" Song Yingchun said with disdain.
I haven't heard these words for a long time, so they don't seem so harsh anymore.
"Yingchun, answer me, where is Zhang Yunwen? Did you abandon her?" I asked directly.
"Yes, of course it will be thrown away. If I keep it, it will just add one more mouth to feed, and it will also make some people not even want to kiss me. What's the point of keeping it?" Song Yingchun said as a matter of course.
"You! She finally cured the virus, but you guys sent her to the gates of hell again. What can you say to her? After all, she is still your partner! You have been together day and night for so long, but there is no emotional bond between you. Aren't you worse than animals?" I cursed anxiously.
At this time, Song Bailu's voice was heard not far away, and she said slowly: "Hey, sister Yunwen, listen quickly, while you were taking a bath, sister Yingchun and I were about to become beasts. Oh, the word beast is too easy to say these days. It's really sad to say it without knowing whether it's good or bad."
I was stunned when I heard this. Taking a bath?
At this time, I saw Yunwen sticking her head out of the earthen jar beside Bailu. She was wet all over, I didn't know if it was from the soup or sweat. She put her hands on the edge of the jar, revealing her snow-white skin. She looked at me with a smile, but because the jar blocked a lot of her body, I could only see the area above her shoulders. However, this scene was enough to make me feel excited.
For a moment, my nose and mouth were filled with the fragrant smell of medicine. I was stunned. When I came to my senses, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that she was fine.
"Sister Bailu, he is also confused because of his concern. Don't blame him. Blame me for being soaked in there just now." Yunwen hurriedly said to Bailu.
"Just because I said throw it away, you're throwing it away? You idiot! I was just kidding you, can't you see that you've been sleeping for two days and your brain has become stupid." Song Yingchun couldn't help but retort.
"I'm sorry, I did worry too much and thought too much. But what did you say just now? Slept for two days? So long?" I asked hurriedly.
"Yes, you have slept for two days in a row. Sister Yunwen woke up yesterday, but you didn't wake up. You even took me seriously and scared me. I took your pulse and found that you are very weak. Both your qi and blood are deficient. In such a physical condition, it is difficult for you to move, let alone walk. How could you still walk back? I don't know what gave you such motivation. I don't know why you became like this after walking back and forth this time?" Song Bailu said.
So, I told them what had happened. Of course, I didn't mention the details of Yunwen's life, so as not to make some people feel jealous. I just gave a general account of what had happened, including the part that Yunwen was not aware of. After listening to me, she looked at me with gratitude in the medicine jar.
"This is what happened. I don't know why I suddenly felt so weak. I've been feeling a little strange since yesterday, and it seems to have gotten worse today. I guess it might have something to do with the rock that hit my shoulder," I said.
Bai Lu shook her head and said, "That's not it. I've seen your and Sister Yunwen's symptoms. Sister Yunwen's condition is because the virus has just been cured, and her internal organs are damaged, so her qi is not flowing smoothly. In addition, her body is still in a state of severe inflammation and high fever. This can be treated with internal and external medicines and soaked with the right prescription. But the injured part of your body is at most damaged to the shoulder and elbow, and it does not affect the surrounding area. It is a symptom of a severe loss of qi in the body. I can't tell why, but it is definitely not caused by a stone."
I coughed and stood up, looking for some water to drink, saying as I walked, "It may be because I have done too much recently and have worked too hard. It's okay, Bailu, if you have time, make a prescription and replenish my blood and I will get better slowly. As autumn and winter are approaching, the jujube trees below will probably bear fruit again. I can just pick some and eat them then."
As he stood up and walked to the water tank, he saw his own reflection in the water and was nearly frightened to fall. The person reflected in the water was pale and thin, with dry, pale lips, a listless look, dry and yellow hair, dark eye sockets, and no blood at all, as if the essence had been sucked away by a monster.
Bai Lu saw my surprised expression and said, "Qi and blood deficiency, replenishing qi and nourishing blood is indeed the right remedy, but if you don't know the source of the disease, you can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, and there is a possibility of recurrence. Finding the root cause is the basis of treatment, and you need to find the source of the disease before you can treat it. Brother Zhou Bo, let me make a bold guess. Could the origin of your symptoms be related to that rusty iron that is like a fire stick?"
"The supreme treasure?" I asked hurriedly.
"It should be it. I remember that the documents of the Milongying Camp mentioned a treasure in the Taiqiong Cave, which was called the Jinque Sword. The documents said that it was the magic sword of a heavenly general in the heaven that was left in the human world. Jinque meant heaven in ancient times. The origin of the Jinque Sword is the sword from heaven. You are a mortal. If you use a magic weapon, you will shorten your lifespan. If you cannot control it, you will inevitably lose energy and blood until you die of exhaustion. If I remember correctly, when it was in the cave, it should have been auspicious light, with the eight qi gathered together, and it looked like a divine dragon appeared, right?" Bai Lu asked.
I nodded. It was indeed like that. I also remembered that there was a Jade Emperor Temple near Clawlong Mountain. The residence of the Jade Emperor, the Son of Heaven, where the Jade Emperor lived, was just called the Golden Palace or the Golden Palace. It seemed that what Bai Lu said was true. The symptoms I was experiencing now were related to this.
At this time, Yunwen shook her head and retorted: "This sword is indeed called the Golden Palace Sword, but it is not a divine weapon that cannot be touched by mortals. Otherwise, why would the people in the Milongying Camp search for it so hard? It is just made of a rare material in the mortal world. The original words of the Milongying Camp are complicated, so I will simply dictate that the material of this sword is good at gathering spiritual resonance. Translated into modern language, it means that it is good at gathering the energy of heaven and earth."
"I don't quite understand, Yunwen, can you explain it clearly? After all, I really don't want you to see me looking so ugly. I want to find the source of the disease." I scratched my head, but pulled off a handful of hair.
I was so scared that I quickly put my hand away. I am still young and don’t want to become a bald uncle. If I become one, how can I face Yunwen and these beautiful girls?
"Things cannot be gathered together forever. If they gather, they will disperse. It's the balance of energy. Although this sword is good at gathering energy, it will also release energy at the same time. The place where it is trapped has the eight kinds of Qi of the Eight Diagrams of Heaven and Earth, Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun and Dui, which allow it to be fully absorbed, transformed and released. It absorbs the eight Qi, internalizes the absorption, and releases energy at the same time. The ancient creatures on this island are different from those outside, which may be related to it. By the same token, when you, Zhou Bo, hold it, it will absorb your energy, and you can also use it to release energy. This is why you repelled the wolf spider. I think this is also the reason why your Qi and blood are empty." Yunwen looked at me with concern and said.
In short, it sucked the vitality out of my body to release those effects? It's terrible.
