Cthulhu

Chapter 278 Eight Hours!

"We still have some information. At least we know that it is the chief of Honghunyuan who is going to kill you. Only by finding the chief can we find out your life experience. Don't be discouraged, the emperor pays off, and the truth will come to light one day." I couldn't get any useful news from Baihua City, but this trip was worth it, at least I found out the situation of Honghunyuan, and I just waited until the group of heroes under my leadership grew stronger, and then wiped out Honghunyuan in one fell swoop .

"I have no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being. Ten years have passed without knowing why, and it's okay to wait a little longer." After seeing the power of Honghunyuan, Shi Ao also knew that now even the Great Elder If you can't get in touch, let alone the chief, you can only come back when the time is right.

Someone cleaned up Xiong Kui's body, and everyone dispersed. Cheng Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated to recover his mental strength.

After getting up and having breakfast the next day, Cheng Sheng went to see the situation of the old village master again. As soon as he walked into the old village master's house, he saw the old woman with a red face, and greeted him with a smile, grabbing Cheng Cheng's hand. hand.

"Grandma, what's the matter with you?" Cheng Cheng was puzzled by the old woman's behavior and asked while supporting her.

"Young man, thank you, thank you so much." There were tears in the corners of the old woman's eyes, and she seemed to be happy.

"Okay, what did grandma thank me for?" Cheng Cheng was still confused by Monk Zhang Er, confused.

"If it weren't for you, my wife would definitely be dead." The old woman looked very happy and said, wiping the corners of her eyes.

Shen Lang was surprised when he heard it, and after he realized it, he tried to ask in a trembling voice: "Master, are you an old man, Master?"

"Yes, yes, he woke up and had a small bowl of porridge last night." He nodded quickly and said.

"It's really great, brother. I, Shen Lang, will always remember your kindness and kindness. From now on, my life, Shen Lang, will be yours." Hearing that his master woke up, Shen Lang seemed quite excited. He was the old village master and his father without a mother. Cheng Cheng cured the old village master's stubborn illness, which naturally made him extremely happy.

Cheng Cheng was puzzled, logically speaking, the old village master shouldn't have such a head?Could it be that he has really rejuvenated himself?After thinking about it, he decided that this was not a good thing, so he said to the old woman: "Grandma, I have to check the old village master's physical condition, this may be a very bad omen."

Shen Lang, who originally had a smile on his face and was agitated, heard that it was not a good sign for Master to wake up, so he immediately sank to the bottom, frowning and hurriedly asked: "Isn't it a good thing that I can still eat after waking up?" ?"

"I'm afraid it's just a flashback. This is a natural reaction to the exacerbation of the disease. If it's really troublesome." Cheng Cheng thought about all the possibilities, and felt that it shouldn't be a good thing for the old village master to wake up, so he shook his head solemnly.

Hearing this, Shen Lang's face suddenly became as pale as paper, and the light returned to him. What does this mean?But the old woman couldn't stand on her feet and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Cheng Cheng supported her so that she could not fall.

"Grandma, don't worry too much. The old village master is an auspicious person with his own natural appearance, so nothing will happen." Nangong Yuling, who was originally indifferent and used to watching everything with a cold eye, also stepped forward to support the old woman at this moment, and Cheng Sheng helped the old woman to the table and sat down together, and then said comfortingly.

"Yuling, you divide this pill into four pieces, and give one piece to grandma, there can be no more. I'll go in and see how the old village master is doing." Cheng Cheng didn't want to see that the old village master was still not recovering, and the old woman fell down again Yeah, that's really nerve-wracking.He took out a body-nourishing elixir, afraid that the old woman would be too weak, so she didn't dare to let her eat one directly, and handed it to Nangong Yuling to divide it into pieces and feed the old woman.

"Okay." Looking at Cheng Cheng, Nangong Yuling nodded and took the elixir. She fell in love with Qingyun Village on the first day she came here. She liked the aura of indifference and the simple-minded people here. Subconsciously treat everyone here as relatives.

Cheng Cheng entered the wing room with Shen Lang and Shi Ao, and saw that the old village master had indeed woken up, sitting on the chair on the bedside, and a trace of red light appeared on his face that was originally ashen, but his image was still difficult to change. Such as haggard.

"Master!" Seeing the old village master leaning on the bed, Shen Lang couldn't help shouting, ran to the bed and knelt down, feeling the urge to cry, but he didn't dare to let the old village master see it come out.

"Child, get up quickly, why are you kneeling if Master is not dead?" The old village master wanted to help Shen Lang who was beside the bed, but he couldn't help him with his hands, and he couldn't help saying in a slightly teasing tone.

Hearing the word death from the master, Shen Lang's emotions swelled even more. The master who raised and educated him since he was a child is likely to die in front of his eyes. That kind of grief is really hard to control.

"Old village master, let me check your body." Seeing this scene, he felt quite sad, Cheng Cheng stepped forward to interrupt Shen Lang's emotions.

"You are..." The old village master has been in a coma, he doesn't recognize Cheng Cheng at all, and his eyes can't help showing doubts.

"Master, Brother Cheng is my friend, and he is also a very powerful alchemist. He is the one who cured you of the poison. Let him check your body." Shen Lang also suppressed the emotions in his chest, not now sad time.

"Oh, so that's how it is. He's such a good boy. But I know my physical condition myself, and the examination is unnecessary." Shaking his head lightly, the old village master seemed to have given up the idea of ​​survival, and he must be very clear about his condition .

"Old village master, don't underestimate yourself. No matter how bad the situation is, there is a way to resolve it. You must persevere in order to see hope. If you give up yourself, no matter how hard others try, it will be useless."

After a moment of silence, the old village master asked again: "Is there any way to resolve my current situation?"

"Yes!" Cheng Cheng didn't have much confidence in his heart that he could save the life of the old village master, because the poison in his body had already ruined his body, and it was just hanging by a thread.If he said that he couldn't be cured, the old village master would have no idea of ​​survival.

"Well, whether it can be cured or not, I should give it a try." Even for the old woman, the old village owner wanted to live a few more years, and he couldn't let her alone in the world.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Cheng Sheng gave the old village master a lot of acupuncture points on his back, and then put his palms against his back, and penetrated into his body with mental power to check the situation.The face of this inspection changed immediately, obviously, the situation had a new change.

The poison that had been fixed on those few bones by his yin fire had actually broken through, and began to spread rapidly, and it was so powerful that it swallowed the two nearby bones into black.I didn't expect the poison in the main body of Laozhai to be so tenacious, and the stronger it gets, the situation is really bad.

His guess was not wrong, the reason why the old village master woke up was because of the return of light.

After the inspection, Cheng Cheng withdrew his mental power, and did not treat the old village master's poison again, because the poison in his body was too terrible, the more he provoked it, the faster it rebounded, if he continued to treat it for a while Poison, designated to directly kill the old village owner.

"Old village master, rest well, nothing will happen." His face returned to a natural look, Cheng Cheng did not tell the old village master the situation, but chose to comfort him and make him feel better.

"Ok."

Shen Lang stepped forward, supported the old village master to lie down to rest, and then the three of them left the wing room together.

"How is my master's situation?" Shen Lang is also a person who knows numbers, and he asked Cheng Cheng when he walked into the yard, but seeing his solemn expression, he already understood that the situation was getting more and more complicated.

"It's very bad. The poison in the main body of Laozhai is too violent. After being trapped for two days, it began to rebound violently, so it formed a situation of returning light. I have never encountered such violent toxicity. It is terrible." Deep Frowning deeply, Cheng Cheng felt a little guilty. He blindly treated the old village master's poison without knowing what kind of poison it was. thing?Instead, it got worse.If he hadn't treated the old village master's poison, it wouldn't have been like this.

"Then, master, how many days do you have left?" When Shen Lang asked this sentence, fear and tension appeared on Shen Lang's face, and his voice trembled.

"Eight hours!" Cheng Cheng took a deep breath, and said an astonishing number. He checked just now, and the condition of the old village master could last until this evening at most, before he would be swallowed by the poison in his body and die.

"Eight hours, eight hours, eight hours" This frightening number directly shattered Shen Lang's consciousness. Feeling hollow.

Even Shi Ao frowned. In eight hours, he could directly announce the death of the old village master.Today is only five days, and it will take at least eight days for Zixiang to deliver the water of life, or even longer. There is no hope at all, even despair.

Cheng Cheng also had no choice but to wait for the old village master to leave safely after eight hours.In such a situation, even the magic pill stone is helpless here, and there is no way to recover.

Time flowed through the fingers every minute and every second, but Qingyun Village fell into a deadly silence, and everyone's face was very heavy.Shen Lang felt that there was no need to hide it from the folks anymore. The matter of the old village master would be announced sooner or later. When he heard that the old village master was dying, there were crying and crying voices from time to time in Qingyun village, but he was suppressed and did not dare to cry come out.
