After passing through the quaint corridor, several people finally stopped in front of a door at the end.
"Buzz!"
The woman in green clothes took out the jade token and swept it away. The door opened and several people quickly entered.
The room was very dark, and as soon as Chen Yao entered the room, he smelled a very familiar smell...
"Is medicinal soup brewing in the house?"
"Yes, this strange disease will continue to deprive my father of his vitality. Now he can only rely on spiritual materials and elixirs to forcibly extend his life..."
The woman in green clothes held up a ball of soft white light with one hand, illuminating the dim room.
"Your father's lack of visibility has something to do with the strange disease he suffered from?"
Chen Yao could only think of this possibility.
"Yes, as long as he is exposed to sunlight or other light sources, my father will be in great pain..."
"Master, do you... really have a way to save my father? If you can cure him, I will promise you anything! Even if you want me to..."
Mentioning her father's condition, the woman in Cuiyi's emotions and defenses obviously began to collapse rapidly, and there were even faint signs of crying...
Chen Yao felt that it would not be good if he took advantage of the situation at this time, huh.
"It's okay, sister! Since Brother Yao is here, he must have a solution. Although he is an out-and-out pervert, he is really powerful!"
Qiu Yueli took the hand of the green-clad woman and comforted her.
Gee, why does this sound so uncomfortable?
"Okay, let's see how your father is doing now."
"Okay, you two, please come with me."
The woman in green clothes led the two of them through the dim living room, opened another door, and then stopped.
Although the visibility in the room was extremely low, Chen Yao grew up under the dark abyss, and he soon adapted to it. He was speechless when he saw the various exquisite decorations in the room.
"Father, are you awake?"
The woman in green clothes moved to the bed and called softly.
"Lin'er, is that you Lin'er?"
A weak voice came, and with the help of the light in the woman's hand, the two of them could see clearly the appearance of the person lying in bed...
The face was haggard, the eyes were sunken, and there was no blood. Looking at the appearance, Chen Yao's first feeling was that this person was going to die soon.
"Yes, father, my daughter is here to see you. This time she found a doctor who said there is hope of curing you!"
The woman in green clothes was half-kneeling beside the bed and said a little excitedly.
"Oh! I'm afraid I won't be cured of my illness... Ahem! My dear daughter, don't waste your time. You've been wasting your practice for so long. If it doesn't work anymore, just let your father go. ..."
When the bedridden old man spoke, he obviously had some will to die. It seemed that this strange disease was also causing him great pain.
"Senior, I have some questions. I don't know whether to ask them or not?"
"Is there anything I shouldn't ask? Anyway, my old bones are almost buried in the ground, cough cough cough..."
"Father! You are not allowed to say that!"
"Okay, okay. Listen to what this kid has to say first."
Chen Yao organized his thoughts and then spoke.
"Senior, my first question is, where did you catch the disease? Did you get infected by some mechanism? Or was you bitten by some strange beast? Do you have any impression?"
"There are none of these. But, I am ashamed to say that the cause of the disease should be related to an ancient secret book that I have in my possession."
The old man raised his palm with difficulty, and a piece of ancient paper appeared in his hand.
Chen Yao was a little surprised at first why the old man didn't use the binding ring, but then he remembered the ancient martial arts domain that the woman mentioned and felt relieved.
Looking intently at the paper in the old man's hand, Chen Yao was suddenly stunned, and then screamed.
"What?!"
Chen Yao's exclamation caused some confusion among the people around him.
"What's wrong?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? You scared me to death, Brother Yao!"
"Could it be that your kid...knows this thing?"
Having said this, the old man was obviously a little excited. Chen Yao's recognition of this thing meant that he might still be saved.
"Actually, it's more than just acquaintance..."
Chen Yao turned his hand and took out the strange piece of leather paper that had been identified previously from the binding ring.
"What?! You actually have one too??"
Now it was the old man's turn to be surprised. He who was bedridden didn't know where he got the strength to sit up directly, took the paper in Chen Yao's hand and rubbed it twice, and then gave it back to Chen Yao.
"The texture is right, but the humidity is slightly heavier than my one. The rest is basically the same..."
"Yes, I think...this thing must be the source of your strange illness."
"That day..."
Chen Yao organized his speech and briefly told the two of his experiences at Xinglong's store, but he made some modifications, including his and Liu Xinglong's wild skills and the identification of the leather paper.
"That is to say, when you were studying this paper, some strange phenomena occurred? You were also attacked by unknown forces?"
The old man asked with a serious expression.
"That's right, so our final conclusion is that this piece of leather paper is strongly related to the deep sea phase, but its true purpose is not clear yet. It is most likely that it belongs to some kind of hidden power."
Chen Yao rubbed his chin and pretended to think deeply.
"I knew it was like this! I told you a long time ago not to study weird things, but you just didn't listen! Now it's better, my mother also fell ill because of you!"
There was a cry in the voice of the woman in green clothes, and she scolded the old man while slapping him.
"Ouch! Good girl, daddy knows he was wrong! Don't torment daddy, cough cough cough!"
Seeing that the old man couldn't stop coughing again, the woman in green clothes stopped.
"Okay, girl, your father is already weak and cannot withstand your torture."
"Sorry, I just..."
"Okay, let's talk about it later. I'll check on the old man first."
"Then I'll trouble you, sir."
The woman in green clothes stepped aside, and Chen Yao quickly stepped forward.
"Please, girl, please light it up."
With the help of light, Chen Yao first observed the upper part of the old man's body with his naked eyes and found that there was no other abnormality except that the Yintang was a little dark.
It can only be this way...
After muttering silently, Chen Yao opened his eyes to see the secrets. He locked his sight on the location of the old man Yintang, and indeed found something abnormal!
Through his voyeuristic eyes, Chen Yao discovered that the old man's entire head was stained with a looming layer of blue-black. When he looked carefully, he almost vomited...
A translucent long worm sometimes hovered and sometimes wriggled through the old man's head. It seemed that it was noticed because of Chen Yao's long gaze. The end of the long worm penetrated the old man's head and stood up high, as if it was sizing up Chen Yao.
good chance! Chen Yao was still thinking about how to deal with this guy, but he didn't expect it to come to his door on its own! At this time, he no longer cares about hiding his wild skills.
Molten Hand, open!
A red-orange light quickly covered his palm, and Chen Yao suddenly grabbed one end of the long insect!
"call!"
The long insect retracted back to the old man's head, and Chen Yao grabbed it...
"This bug is too slippery..."
"Sir, what are you doing..." In the eyes of other people, Chen Yao's actions were really funny.
"Remember the transparent tentacles that I just told you about that are invisible to the naked eye?"
Chen Yao scratched his head in distress.
"Young master, what you want to say is that my father..."
"Yes, there is a long transparent worm in your father's head."
"What?!" After hearing what Chen Yao said, the father and daughter both exclaimed.
"Yes, the reason why you can't see it is probably because it is a... uh, energy body? Or intangible creature, yes, it is a living thing."
Chen Yao said with determination.
"What kind of evil outer sect technique is this! It really offends me! You don't want this thing!"
As the old man spoke, he wanted to tear up the paper in his hand.
"Senior, how about this? Let me try to get rid of the worms in your mind first, and then leave this matter to me."
"That's fine, let's get started without further ado. As for the outcome, we just have to leave it to fate."
The old man simply lay down and closed his eyes, looking like he was at the mercy of others.
"Lili, try to see if the light of life can affect it."
"Ah! But, I can't see where the bug is?" Qiu Yueli obviously showed some resistance.
"It's fine here. Don't worry, it won't dare to come out."
Chen Yao held Yue Li's cattails and guided her to the right position.
"Okay...then, shall I start?"
After receiving Chen Yao's affirmative reply, Yue Li closed her eyes first, and then a light green light erupted from her palms.
"Hiss!"
The long insect that came into contact with the light let out an unpleasant roar, and then buried its entire body into the old man's head. In fact, the light of life did not cause much damage to it.
"Okay Lili, you can stop."
Chen Yao frowned, obviously this result did not satisfy him.
"It seems this method is not feasible."
"Does the young master have any other treatment methods?" The woman in green clothes looked worried.
"Don't worry, girl, there is a way, but..."
"I would like to borrow a room. Is it convenient?"
"As long as it's for the purpose of curing my father, please feel free to ask for anything you ask me."
"The door to the right of the young master is the little girl's residence. If there is any inconvenience, the young master can borrow it."
The woman in green clothes behaves generously.
"That would be troublesome."
Chen Yao pushed the door open and entered the room of the woman in green clothes, and then quickly closed the door. A pleasant fragrance came, but now was not the time to be intoxicated.
"Don't make any sound!"
After warning Laya, Chen Yao took off the belt bag that was used as the Tianji box from his waist, shook Laya out unceremoniously, then took out the belt bag bought by Granny Lin from the binding ring, replaced it, and stuffed Laya into it. .
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yao transformed the Tianji box into a small silver ring and put it on his finger. After doing all this, he pushed open the door and walked out.
[Where does this paper come from? Is there anything you can guess?
