The little animals are not afraid when strangers come.
Mung bean-sized eyes looked at Hu Xiaocao, as if to judge whether the person coming was in danger.
Hu Xiaocao was not afraid of being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, but she could not retreat. Thinking that her mother's condition was urgent and urgent, she seemed to have infinite courage in her heart.
She plopped down, knelt down on the ground, and said with a choked voice: "I don't mean any harm, I'm here to see Grandpa Mountain God."
The little animals tilted their heads, not sure if they understood, but just stared at Hu Xiaocao silently.
Seeing that they had no intention of attacking, Hu Xiaocao dragged the woman and hurried forward.
Those animals then submerged into the grass nearby. They did not leave, and were still observing in the dark.
They have little lethality, but if they all swarm up, they should not be underestimated.
Soon, Hu Xiaocao also saw Ye Qin lying on the stone. She finally saw the mountain god as she wished. She finally put down the rope in her hand and turned her head quickly.
"Mom, look, this is the mountain god."
However, Hu Xiaocao only saw the woman's pale face and tightly closed eyes. Her breathing was almost non-existent and intermittent. If she hadn't breathed her last breath, she might have died by now.
Hu Xiaocao's voice was hoarse, and he gently shook the woman's body and begged: "Mom, please open your eyes and take a look."
The woman's breathing became weaker and weaker, and became faster and faster. When she couldn't take her last breath, it was time to pass away.
Hu Xiaocao didn't bother to wipe his tears, he could only kowtow to Ye Qin quickly, with a banging sound, and his forehead soon turned red.
"Grandpa Mountain God, please save my mother. I am willing to exchange it with my own life, no matter what the price is."
Her forehead was red, and blood even flowed from the rocks, but the mountain god still didn't react.
Hu Xiaocao finally realized something was wrong with Ye Qin. She took a step forward and saw more clearly.
But he found that the snake lying on the stone was motionless and seemed not to be breathing.
The scales on the body were also extremely dim, even turning a dead gray color, as if something was attached to them.
Compared with the previous two encounters that were full of divinity, the snake in front of me looked like an ordinary snake without any divinity and had nothing to do with the mountain god at all.
If he hadn't seen Ye Qin perform miracles with his own eyes before, Hu Xiaocao would have thought that he almost found the wrong snake.
Hu Xiaocao's eyes widened and he staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with Grandpa Mountain God?"
She glanced at the woman whose life was hanging by a thread, and then at the seemingly dead snake, her eyes a little confused and desperate.
Hu Xiaocao knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so she was prepared, even if it cost her own life, she would not hesitate to exchange the life of a woman.
She had already prepared for the worst. No one could get something for nothing, let alone changing one's fate against the will of heaven.
It is not easy to understand this truth at such a young age.
But Hu Xiaocao did not expect that the mountain god's condition was not good either, or even as bad as his mother.
In her eyes, "God" is omnipotent.
When ordinary people encounter something that cannot be solved, they will burn incense and worship Buddha.
But no one had ever told her that "gods" were mortal.
The last flame in Hu Xiaocao's eyes was ruthlessly blown out by reality.
At this moment, she was standing alone, her shoulders and hands all showing marks from being strangled.
The blood was flowing from his forehead, and his whole body looked extremely miserable, like a lonely grass that no one cared about, standing there at a loss.
Her mother was dying, Grandpa Mountain God was gone, and her last faith was broken. The successive blows made Hu Xiaocao almost unable to breathe.
No matter how strong and precocious he is, he is only a half-grown child. At this moment, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
However, just when Hu Xiaocao was crying uncontrollably, he didn't notice that the snake tail of the 'Mountain God' suddenly moved.
In the haze, Ye Qin heard a cry, which was so depressing and desolate that people couldn't help but feel sad.
The most important thing is that the voice seems to be very close to him and somewhat familiar.
Ye Qin, who was in a state of trance, could still sense the outside world.
Snake's pupils narrowed slightly into a vertical line. The gap was too small for ordinary people to notice, let alone Hu Xiaocao who was immersed in sadness.
The woman's pale face was not far away.
Ye Qin, who had just realized life and death and entered the third realm, could clearly feel that the woman no longer had any vitality, and there was only a heavy death aura surrounding her.
This state is even worse than his previous state.
Vaguely, Ye Qin saw a transparent soul slowly pulling away from the woman's body, but it seemed to be pulled by some inexplicable force and was reluctant to leave.
The soul frequently looked at Hu Xiaocao's position.
The bloody threads implicated Hu Xiaocao and the woman, because they were mother and daughter, connected by blood.
Now this thread is looming, almost disappearing.
Ye Qin guessed that when this thread no longer exists, the bond between the two will also disappear, which means that the woman will completely die.
Ye Qin was thoughtful. He couldn't see these things before. He didn't know if it was because of entering the third realm. His eyes seemed to have changed in some way.
This change will have to wait until later to be explored in detail.
Seeing that the woman's soul was getting fainter and fainter, it was almost about to disappear between heaven and earth.
"call!"
Ye Qin raised his head slightly, opened his mouth and slowly exhaled, sending it into the woman's body.
This breath was the first wisp of gas he captured when his time was approaching, he explored the avenue of life and death, and then entered the third realm of heaven and earth to refine his Qi!
Ye Qin thought it was ordinary before, but later he discovered that this energy was mysterious and full of majestic vitality.
After the precipitation in the chaotic space, and then refining in the five internal organs, Ye Qin's bloodline was continuously washed away, and the impurities in the body were further discharged. This is why Hu Xiaocao's scales looked gray when he saw him before.
The essence of this qi has been completely absorbed and spread throughout the body. Whether it is bones, blood, meridians, or even the five internal organs, they are all rejuvenated.
The remaining part has no effect on Ye Qin.
Even so, it should not be underestimated, so Ye Qin spit it out and sent it to Hu Xiaocao's mother.
This is not a simple Qi. Going back to its origin, it has an older name that is rarely heard of today - "Qi".
"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" "Su Wen" says: "Qi begins to generate and transform, Qi disperses and becomes tangible, Qi spreads and cultivates, and Qi ends and the image changes."
Qi is the root of all things in the universe, time and space. The transformation, growth, reproduction and death of all things are all driven by Qi throughout.
The movement and changes of Qi Qi are the changes in the creation, development, change and death of all things in the universe.
Qi can ventilate Qi, but Qi is not Qi. For future generations, this concept is too vague and has been gradually buried by the river of history.
In addition, this word is uncommon and not commonly used, so everyone uses qi to refer to all gases.
Qi was gradually forgotten by the world and left behind. No one remembered its former glory.
But in fact there is an essential difference between the two.
