Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 164: Rebirth
"The Red Lotus sect master of that year gave up his immortality and paid the price that the red lotus sect masters of all generations could not die in exchange for the lives of thousands of people who were suffering from the plague in Da Yue. This You must have heard the legend!" said the national teacher.
Jun Qianyu said: "It's just a legend, there must be some exaggeration in the myth, so don't believe it."
The national teacher continued: "Thirty years ago, General Qi Gu, the **** of war in Great Vietnam, was murdered by a traitor in the fiercest war with Da Zhou, and ended up in a different place. At that time, General Qi Gu's The wife is the eldest princess of Dayue, and the eldest princess brought her husband's body to the Blood Lotus Valley and sacrificed herself to the blood lotus in exchange for the rebirth of the God of War."
Obviously, Jun Qianyu had heard of this, and nodded: "Yes, at that time, everyone thought that Qi Gu had no chance of surviving. When he reappeared on the battlefield, most people still believed this. It's just a similar-looking person who borrowed the name of the God of War."
"However, the one who was resurrected in the blood pool was indeed the God of War himself."
"Since this blood pond is so magical, the eyes of the national teacher..."
"Everything in the world is conserved, and each other is born and destroyed. If you want to gain something, you must pay the corresponding price."
"Since you are a national teacher, is there any price you can't afford?"
"It's not about whether you can afford it, it's just a question of whether you want it or not. Five years ago, the Queen of Dayue couldn't afford it. She wanted to use the blood lotus to prolong her life. Hundreds of men and women died here, but in the end, the queen's life was never saved."
Jun Qianyu and Ziyun both looked puzzled, Ziyun couldn't help but ask: "Why is this, isn't it enough for someone to change their lives?"
The national teacher shook his head: "Of course not, the person who changed his life must be willing and generous to die. As long as there is a trace of resentment and unwillingness in his heart, this life-changing method will not be successful."
Seeing that they didn't speak, the national teacher continued: "The way to change your life is also very simple. When you find that the blood lotus in the pond begins to wither, you only need to cut the wrist of the life-changing person and put it into the blood pond. , the blood lotus absorbs the blood of the life-changing person, and will automatically regain its vitality, as long as the vitality of the blood lotus is maintained within seven days of treatment, this matter is a success." He picked up a very beautifully made lantern and walked out slowly.
Jun Qianyu looked down at Ning Xi in his arms, the pale face seemed to have no life, if he really sacrificed himself to save her, when she woke up, this little face would definitely It will be full of anger!
"Ziyun." Jun Qianyu said in a low voice, "When she wakes up, don't let her know about the change of life, just tell her that I have to leave first if I have to do something, and I will definitely leave after three years. Will come back to find her!"
"Yes, your lord, Ziyun will live up to your lord's trust." Ziyun answered firmly.
"Well, you go out first!" Jun Qianyu instructed lightly, squatting down and placing Ning Xi on his lap, and slowly began to untie the belt on her body, muttering to himself while untying it. , "Speaking of our real relationship, it's less than a year, I'll give you three years, it should be enough for you to put it all down!"
As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a numbness in the sleepy acupoint in the back of his head, his eyes darkened, and he fell backwards.
Ziyun caught Jun Qianyu from behind and said, "Offended." But he didn't stop at all, and immediately tied him firmly with a special rope in his hand. Jun Qianyu's skill, she may not be able to succeed in one hit, just take advantage of his restlessness, but I believe that he will wake up soon, so Ziyun did not dare to neglect, and firmly tied it up. Layer after layer, this rope is made of shark silk and soaked in a special potion. The technique of knotting the rope is also specially trained. Even a person with deep internal skills will never break it.
Ziyun removed Ningxi's clothes and put her into the water in the blood pool. The water in the pool was not deep. Ningxi sat leaning against the edge of the pool, and the water was only a few minutes above her chest. That's all, the pool water looked like it was boiling, but it wasn't actually hot. The pool water near her suddenly tumbled so violently that even the lotus flower in the center of the pool seemed to tremble slightly.
Soon, the light on the bright red lotus began to dim little by little, as if the essence of the body was being extracted, Ziyun remembered the words of the national teacher, without hesitation He pulled out the dagger he carried with him, slashed the wrist of his left hand, and the warm blood quickly poured out and dripped into the pool.
The moment the blood entered the water, there was a "chichi" sound, and the pool water boiled even more violently, tumbling towards the blood lotus in the center of the pool.
The blood lotus absorbs human blood and regains its dazzling light.
Ziyun immersed her wrist in the pool water, and could feel a strange suction force in the pool water, continuously sucking her blood, so that she could clearly feel the loss of blood in her body.
Ziyun suddenly remembered what the national teacher said. He said that this kind of treatment process would take a full seven days. seven days?
Thinking of this, Ziyun panicked in her heart. If she really couldn't take it any longer, what would Ning Xi do, and what would Prince Yu do?
Fortunately, as soon as this panic thought started, the speed of the blood flowing from her wrist slowed down, and she could even feel a soothing force in the pool water surrounding her wrist, which was slowly healing her wound.
I don't know if it's because the red light in this room is too strong. Ningxi's pale skin like a sheet of paper now looks like a trace of red light is flowing inside, and the whole person is more and more excited. It looked bright and transparent.
Jun Qianyu, who was leaning against the corner by Ziyun, woke up and watched everything Ziyun did in silence, and finally couldn't help asking in a hoarse voice: "Why?"
Ziyun smiled sadly: "Your Highness, you know, in Ziyun's mind, it is not her that I save, but you, Your Highness, Ziyun's life was originally given by Your Highness, and now I give it back to Your Highness, willingly ."
Jun Qianyu was silent for a while, then said solemnly: "Thank you."
Simple sentence, but it moved Ziyun to tears: "In this life and this life, if I can get a thank you from the prince, Ziyun will die without regrets!"
I don't know how long it took, Jun Qianyu, who had been staring at the hourglass on the ground, suddenly said, "It's an hour."
Ziyun came back to her senses, raised her wrist, and quickly closed the wound from the pool. Soon there was only a light red mark left. She stood up and stumbled, the massive blood loss made her He was a little dizzy, but he recovered quickly and helped Ning Xi up in the water.
The water in the pool looked blood-red and sticky, but it didn't actually stick to the body. After Ning Xi got out of the water, the bright red water droplets quickly rolled down from the smooth skin, without even wiping. Gotta be clean and fresh.
Ziyun picked up Ning Xi and said to Jun Qianyu: "My lord, please wait a moment, the slaves will send Miss Ning back first, and then come back to pick up the lord."
There are not many people in the Blood Lotus Valley. The only ones they saw in the past two days were the boy and the national teacher. The boy was surprised when he saw Wu Hua Da **** Jun Qian Yu, who was carried out by Zi Yun. , but he didn't say much, probably because he was instructed by the national teacher, no matter what strange things you see, don't ask.
The boy prepared water and food for them and then left. Among the food for Ziyun, there are several ingredients that are obviously blood-enriching, such as pork liver, red dates, etc. It seems that although they are not there, they are right. What happened in the blood pool is still very clear.
Ziyun first fed Jun Qianyu something, and when the boy brought the food over, he said that Ningxi didn't need to eat for the next few days, so Ziyun didn't feed her, but left the leftovers. She had eaten up all the food she had eaten, and although she had eaten a lot, she tried her best to eat it. After all, she had to save her energy as much as possible in order to survive the seven-day period.
After the meal, I rested for a while, and soon it was time to soak the blood pool for the second time. This time, Ziyun ignored Jun Qianyu, only hugged Ning Xi, and soaked another one in the same way. time.
This time, the blood lotus did not draw as much blood from her as the first time, but she still clearly felt that her body was weaker than last time. On the contrary, Ning Xi's complexion seemed to be better.
Six days passed in a flash. On the sixth day, Ziyun finally came out of the blood pool this time. Ziyun was so weak that he could no longer hold Ning Xi out. He had no choice but to release the rope on Jun Qianyu Open, let him in to help.
After these days of treatment, Ning Xi looks completely different from when she first came here. Although she is still the same person, her whole body seems to be completely reborn. Her whole body is full of vigor and vitality. It was replaced with a new layer, white and soft like a baby, with black and shiny hair, delicate lips, and the whole person was like a freshly opened flower, delicate and bright.
Just haven't woken up yet.
The last time, Ziyun was completely unable to stand up on her own strength. Jun Qianyu first put Ningxi into the pool, and then turned around to pick up Ziyun. At this time, she was so thin that only a handful of bones were left. , his face was whiter than paper, Jun Qianyu felt sour in his heart and couldn't bear to look away.
He didn't really care about human life. These people were originally dead soldiers. Even if they sacrificed their lives for him, it was a matter of course, just like the few people who followed him up the mountain, but they felt a little regretful That's it, but now watching a person slowly pass away, I can't help feeling throbbing in my heart.
A happy smile appeared on Ziyun's face: "I can get the pity of the prince in this life, Ziyun is really, very happy!"
Jun Qianyu put Ziyun down by the pool: "Your kindness will never be forgotten by this king in this lifetime."
The last time she made a fatal stroke on her wrist, Ziyun smiled and slowly stretched her arm into the bright red pool water. The sweet smile on her face formed a huge contrast with her pale complexion. , startling.
Jun Qianyu took a few steps back and stared at Ning Xi who was still in a coma. He couldn't help clenching his fists. Whether his beloved would wake up as scheduled depends on this moment.
The tumbling water in the pool suddenly violently tossed, as if something giant was churning on the bottom of the water, splashing a three-foot wave, Ning Xi, who had been sitting still, suddenly wanted to be pulled by something under the water After a moment, it sank suddenly and disappeared from the water.
"Ningxi!" Jun Qianyu shouted, rushed to the edge of the pool, and was about to jump down, a calm and calm voice sounded behind him: "Don't be impatient, Miss Ning will come out soon. "
Jun Qianyu's eyes were red, staring at the national teacher behind him: "What is going on, what if she can't get out?"
The national teacher said calmly: "If you jumped now, then you will be in vain."
Jun Qianyu didn't dare to act rashly, staring at the tumbling water for a split second, gritted his teeth and uttered a few words: "If she really can't get out, I'll ask the entire country of Dayue to bury her with her!"
But the most ruthless words could not calm his heart. Jun Qianyu found that he was really scared, and he even regretted bringing her here. Even if she would never wake up, at least she was a flesh-and-blood person. It's better to have people by his side than to not know about life and death today.
Maybe it's just a short moment, but for Jun Qianyu, it seems that a long life has passed. His sweat soaked his clothes, and his black temples were dyed with flecks of frost at this moment. .
The waves of the blood pool gradually subsided, becoming deadly calm, and then, in this dead silence, ripples slowly rippled from a point in the center to the surrounding, in the middle of the ripples, A figure slowly rises...
